we start convention coverage. katie and i will be there with chris wallace and all sorts of ♪ will will okay pete: we are welcome to welcome will kaine broadcast extrump administration narrow. will: thank you, i'm so excited to be here on fox news in particular here with you guys on saturday and sunday mornings on

"fox & friends." truly, i am so excited to be here. jedediah: we all worked together in the past when we were young and beautiful. we are going to disagree sometimes but you always keep it fresh and amazing and we're just eye i'm just so excited about this right now. pete: what about you, rick? chime in? rick: yeah, will, welcome, you know, i met you one time on the street, i don't know if you remember that you came up and introduced yourself to me years ago. so cool. i thought you were a good guy back then. i have been on the show for almost 15 years. these guys have nothing on me. you will look like this by the end of the 15 years which isn't a good sign so watch it. and i used to be the fit one and everything and now pete took that over. you need to knock pete offs his throne as like the fit guy on the show. so i'm looking forward to that.

pete: he will. will: of course i remember meeting you on the streets of the upper west side of new york. it's a great day to be united with all three of you. as jed said we have all worked together in the past and i can't wait to be working together not just in the future but in the present. let's go pete. pete: let's do it. rick, you are the "fox & friends" historian. log today as an important day. did i bring the "fox & friends" official welcome binder. okay? everything you need to know about "fox & friends" will cain right here in this binder. i will get it to you after the show. it shows you how to log. in. will: biggest problem so far. pete: rick, we love you. we will check back with you later on today. let us know if we did well on this a block. we will continue. because there is some news, guys. we are going to have a lot of fun on the weekend and more fun today. you will learn more about will cain. a package that's so good about his life you will want him to run for president. right, jed, if you have seen it, jed, it's a good package.

jedediah: i have been -- listen, pete, i have been arguing i don't know if will remembers this but years ago i was tweeting out if will cain runs i would totally endorse him. so fun i couldn't said that. will: stop. too much. go on. go on. pete: all right. we'll move on. so this week coming up is the virtual democrat national convention. so we have had the lineup of what will be happening there well, behind the scenes article from politico magazine caught our eye because maybe the family is not as copasetic as we thought. here is the headline from politico. the president was not encouraging. what obama really thought about biden. they're besties. friendship. all is good in usama bin laden-biden world. maybe not. here are other quotes from former obama administration officials about joe biden. how did they really think about their standard bearer right now. here is ben rhodes in the situation room biden could be something of an unguided

missile. general pa psaki the white house communication director you could certainly see techni cratic eye rolling at times. leon pa netted particular he was loyal in every way standing by him even probably when he disagreed to some extent he oftentimes felt that that loyalty was not being rewarded, will. so, is this a relationship that's maybe being overbehind? one point that stands out to me is jen psaki's quote. paints the difference between the trump and obama and joe biden administration. they are cut from the same cloth. off the cuff and feeling their way through it. i want to read past that jen psaki quote where it said the tecnacrats roll their eye. elderly uncle at thanksgiving launch into extended monologues that everyone had heard before.

the question is who is biden today some 10 years later? is he still that retail politician? >> we all know about the biden gaffes. we have seen them play out right before our eyes. no one knows that better than president obama. he knows what it is like to work with joe biden. i think he was very hesitant to put his stamp of approval on that. sitting back and waiting and saying hold on a second. whether they are friends or not, he has his own legacy to uphold. people trust his judgement and that left wing base. they look at him and say this is a guy who we have restreempleted we felt he was successful and trust his judgment. him to put his stamp of approval on a guy something is not right here in terms of potentially his health or potentially just his ability to articulate policy well. will will you got rivalry going on between president obama and joe biden. what is donald trump, president trump doing? well, he is checking out the

swing states. let's see where he is monday he is in minnesota and wisconsin. tuesday he is in arizona. thursday, he is in pennsylvania and this is an opportunity for president trump to say this is what i'm about. it's a very difficult time as we talked about. we are in the midst of a pandemic. the economy has been hit hard. a lot of businesses have been struggling. have you crime erupting in many cities across the country. this is an opportunity for president trump to do what he does best to be right there on the ground and say this is why you should reelect me. pete: one more unsourced quote from that article. obama apparently said don't estimate joe's ability to bleep things up. we will see where that friendship is. what we're testing right now is you have got a virtual convention, guys. a virtual convention for joe biden it. used to be an absolute domination of media coverage. when the convention is happening. everything is wall-to-wall, it's your chance to interview introduce yourself to the american people. will that be the case with the virtual convention and the president is making the case i'm going to crisscross swing states at the same time and see if i can compete for the very same

coverage and it will be very interesting to see whether this becomes a split screen moment or whether joe biden really gets that one week with a virtual convention to try to dominate the narrative. we shall see. but there is also new polling out from the fox news channel about the presidential race. again, remember, big grain of salt, these polls were not accurate in 2016. and they are national polls so what do they matter when you need t to win the swing states. >> here is the latest from the fox news channel. joe biden 49%. donald trump 42. more or less unchanged from last month. and, again, these polls were not correct in 2016. but, will, there was a portion of this and some commentary on it that is raising eyebrows about maybe that midden voter. will: it is. it's coming from the left from hbo's bill maher. the same thing you just will powells and polsters skepticism. is there more built up support for donald trump than the polls

currently show. here is what bill maher had to say about that on his show. >> biden is ahead but he is not to my view comfortably ahead. not for my comfort. hillary was ahead by more at some point. and i just got to ask what is your party doing against this walking disaster that you can't close the gap better than that. >> this would seem to support that position. another fox news poll that asks who do you think your neighbors are supporting for president? now, look at this. many suggested, in fact, 39% suggested their neighbors are going to vote for president trump. while they would vote for biden their neighbors would vote for president trump. meaning pete and jed, there is a lot of pent up support for president trump out there. recall. jedediah: people are afraid to say they support president trump and the criticism. that happened last time around. that's why the results were so

surprising to many. it's absolutely going to be this case that this time around you are going to have people that show up for these polls and voted for president trump and they weren't expected. to say they keep quiet because they don't want the criticism. let me keep my mouth shut and i will go in and vote for who i want and i won't have to answer for anyone they want criticize me. remains to be seen how many of those people are. i think more than people realize this time around. pete: think how revealing that is i may or may not share my view. my neighbors voting for president trump or unshare the fears of leftists we shall see. jedediah: we shall see. we will head to another big story we are covering right now. president trump is blasting democrats for holding up another round of coronavirus relief as both sides remain split on the integrity of mail-in ballots. mark meredith joins us live as the president says he is ready to send out stimulus checks. mark, what's the latest. >> jed, good morning to you. congress has left town so president trump is threatening to take action himself to

stimulate the economy. the president on friday had a chance to tweet out that he would send out additional stimulus checks. believe it or not, this is one area where we have actually season congress and the white house agree that checks should go out. but, of course, it's up to congress, not the white house, to try to find the money to make that happen. still, the president made it clear he wants those payments made eventually. >> i have directed the secretary of the treasury to get ready and send direct payments, 3400 for a family of four to all americans. democrats are holding this up. they want $1 trillion to go to their friends doing a bad job running certain cities and states that are doing very badly. >> stimulus checks aside the big fight this weekend is over funding for the u.s. postal service. the president says he would be willing to support additional funds for the usps like democrats have been asking for if they agree to other demands. meantime the post office is warning at least 46 states it

cannot guarantee all ballots cast by mail will arrive back where they belong before election day is over. and this week we saw joe biden's campaign come out swinging accusing president trump of trying to sabotage the postal service ahead of the election and the president himself has said he doesn't believe the post office may be ready for what's going to be coming in november. pete, jed, and will, we will continue to watch and see how this will play out over the next several weeks. election day is approaching and back to you guys. will, welcome to fox. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it, mark. jedediah: mark meredith thank you so much as always. turning to your headlines starting with this fox news alert. overnight hundred protesters clash with police in portland, oregon. >> you are ordered to disperse. jedediah: police using tear gas to break up the crowd as demonstrators threw bottles and paint at officers.

protesters setting dumpsters on fire in the middle of streets as the city sees nearly 08 straight nights of unrest. and president trump arrived in new york city to visit his younger brother robert in the hospital. the president did not elaborate on his brother's illness while speaking at a news conference. >> i have a wonderful brother. we have had a great relationship for a long time, from day one. it's a long time ago. and he's in the hospital right now. and hopefully he will be all right. but he is pretty -- he's having a hard time. jedediah: robert trump hospitalized again after spending over a week anyone tensive care for an unspecified illness in june. and the cdc now issuing new guidance from those who recover from covid-19. they suggest you do not have to quarantine or get retested for three months after recovery unless they show symptoms again. the new guidelines coming as california becomes the first state to report more than 600,000 cases. the fda has released its first ever list of medical supply in

shortage including gowns, gloves, sterile swabs and ventilators. pete: our goal is to make you uncomfortable this morning like a good friend would. yes. this whole show we want it to be about getting to know will cain. we know him. we love him. will: enough with the news, back to me. pete: back to him. the more you get to know him the more you will love him. we have got a package, we have have segments about family and kids. email us at friends@foxnews.com. what questions would you like to ask. the famous bill clinton question? who knows. will, give us a 30 second. who is will cain? >> well, boxer briefs. second, i'm from sherman, texas. i am the father two of boys, charlie and west. i'm married to a beautiful woman named kathleen and i think you will meet them a little bit later this morning. when it comes to doing this job i just want to make you the

viewers of "fox & friends" this promise. i will do my best on a daily basis to help you find out the truth. i think that people across america have been done a great disservice over the years by most in the media. not those here, most in the media. it's my job every day to help you pursue the truth. jedediah: that's pretty amazing. i'm trying to figure out how i can rig the system to get my questions in. if you figure out how to do that do that from here and i will get mine. in. pete: you filter any time you want. jedediah: great to have you, will. don't forget to send your questions because we want to hear his answers. great show ahead stick around for the next four hours. a former fbi attorney is expected to plead guilty as part of the first criminal charges in the durham probe. hohow far will the dominoes fal? our next guest says it is just the beginning. i'm leah and that's me long before

what happened should never happen again. so he is pleading guilty, a terrible thing. a terrible thing. the fact is they spied on my campaign and they got caught and you will be hearing more. >> president trump weighing in after the first criminal charges were brought john durham's review of the russia investigation. pete: they spied on my campaign and they got caught. former fbi lawyer kevin clinesmith is accused of altering an email used to obtain a fisa warrant on carter page and is expected to plead guilty. >> here to reacted is former federal prosecutor brett tollman. bret, welcome to the show as always. so, dig in to this a little bit with us if you will. >> thanks. jedediah: larger significance of this guilty plea in the overall russia probe? >> look, there are times when

you have a cooperator that is going to plead guilty and you keep that indictment under seal so why now? why let the public know that an individual has pled guilty i think that durham know that he has the ability to bring the bring those indictments. i think it's a strong message to folks out there that are being investigated. help themselves out now is the time to do it. by the prosecutor. will: my understanding is he changed an email that essentially converted carter page from someone who was informing the cia of the united states on russia to

investigating him as to whether or not he was a spy for russia. what exactly is he pleading guilty to doing. >> yeah, it gets, you know, complicated when we try to digest every lit bit of information that's coming out but, in essence, he altered a document in order to secure a warrant. it's apparent that he did because the information that he was, you know, presenting and, keep in mind, when you are presenting it to this particular court it has to be vetted information. it has to be information that multi-pill levels levels of the fbi and department of justice have reviewed looked at verified that it's accurate. what did he was misrepresent to the court, in order to bring the court's suspension down or their analysis to make it easier for them and to more likely grant this warrant and, what's the significance of it?

keep in mind this defendant approached durham after john ratcliffe, the dni, unclassified documents about operation crossfire, hurricane crossfire. once those documents were unclassified, you can just picture it. lawyer picks up the phone, reaches tout durham and says we want to come, in we want to talk. so, it tells you that the information that he did change and the email is not only significant but there has to be a reason behind it. and there has to be have been somebody who is pushing him to do it. pete: he wrote viva resistance when he worked at the fbi. there are key indicators to his motivations. will: important to understand the details of the crime and how it fits into the bigger story. bret, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. will: coming up kamala harris is portrayed as a moderate by the media. the next guest says that is a

>> trump campaign has been chomping at the bit for someone to attack. they seem to have only this attempto tie a decidedly moderate ticket to the radical left. jedediah: is she really all that moderate? here to discuss new york columnist miranda devine. miranda, welcome to the show. kamala harris, the new moderate centrist. what do you think? >> well, it's a joke, obviously. hi, jed. it's just a ploy to get them to win the election because, of course they know that this new brand of socialist progressive democrat is unpalatable to the electorate. they are not going to win the election with it. so now, you know, moderate joe and moderate kamala even though he she has proven to be the most progressive candidate in the senate. she is the most progressive senator and, even more than bernie sanders. she is for full term abortion. she is for criminalizing climate

skeptics or deniers so to speak. she is criminalizing gun manufacturers, giving illegal immigrants free healthcare. there is not an issue that you can think about that she hasn't taken the most extreme progressive position. i don't think because she necessarily believes in anything but because at the time it suited her politically. jedediah: yeah, of course she ran for president herself. all of that what you are talking about in terms of very liberal policy was right there on display for everyone to see for themselves. so, do people care about the media characterization of her as a moderate or do people just make their own decisions and look at the record and make that call for themselves. i think they will make their own decisions. obviously they take information in from the media. but, there are a lot of low information so-called voters who are listening more to a narrow cast information that they are

getting from social media. i think they will probably decide in some ways, i mean, it's all about joe biden. but this is different. i think most voters realize that joe biden is not all there and that kamala harris will most likely become president before the end of his first term. if he wins. jedediah: very quickly, we don't have a lot of time is there distinction between her and the aocs of the party. elizabeth warren who everyone sort of characterizes as hard left. is there a big decision here. not in reality she economyian. shcome mealian.she will be whats to be. aoc and elizabeth warren, whatever else you say about them, they are genuine. they are authentically liberal. i think with kamala harris, she will be whatever she needs to be at the time and she is

incredibly ambitious if i'm aloud to use that word. her eye is on the prize which is joe biden's job. jedediah: that is absolutely true. i have been saying for a long time now she will be the top of the ticket whether she is in reality or not figuratively she sure is. miranda devine, thanks for being here. we appreciate it? >> thanks, jed. jedediah: still ahead an arizona school district overwhelmed with calls from the community to reopen schools. it's about to welcome kids back into the classroom next week what's the blueprint for reopening and what are they doing right? we are going to discuss that coming up. ta-da! did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i should get a quote. do it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

islamism, there is very tempered silence from saudi arabia, pakistan, indonesia. none of whom have condemned the agreement. the uae is a formidable and deer clearly the keystone nation in the region that has already been collaborating with israel enemy ways. collaborated over aid with the palestinians. collaborated over covid since june. engagement uae high tech and israel defense systems like raytheon and also the aerospace industry. this has been a brilliant agreement engineered with a vision of our president and his foot soldiers jared kushner and abby berkowitz without which this could not have happened. it is going to be the end game for the slack mothership the muslim brotherhood. iran is now put on the defensive because this is a serious long-term engagement. our media, pete, is looking only in the very narrow view.

our president is looking beyond even his second presidency. this will change the world for the next century. pete: considering these block of arab countries had vowed to wipe israel off the map for generations it truely is significant. real quick, beyond just the media, joe biden has tried to down play this as well saying hey, this is a product of diplomacy of that administration. break that down real quick. >> it's so craven of vice president biden to try to claim that president obama and vice president biden did nothing other than empower iran, feed into the islamist machine. bring back funds that would be then deployed to hezbollah, undermine and delegitimize the sunni muslim world. eviscerate any confidence the arab world had in the united states and laid the ground for tremendous miss trust. they sided with the muslim brotherhood in egypt against the egyptian people. so this is such a welcomed

refreshing change that muslims around the world oh a debt of gratitude to president trump and to jared kushner and also recognize shake mohammed the leader of the uae is really the power house. you will saudi arabia join the amman open embassies, this is the end of the arab boycott the israel. pete: a titanic shift brought about by the president. thank you for your time this morning. >> great to be with you. i have missed you. great to see you. pete: likewise. see you soon. still ahead an arizona school district moves ahead to reopen classrooms despite push back from teachers and unions. the push to reopen came from the community and should be honored. that's after the break. ♪ ♪ i can feel a fire like a hand out the window in the wind

parents in the community had petitioned our district and asked them about reopening and returning to in person education. so, it was driven by the community here and our district responded. will: imagine that listening to your constituents, responding and trusting them with their own risk assessment and decisions. that being said, coach, what will be the standard going forward? what kind of infection rate. what kind of spread? how will the school know if it has gotten out of hand in terms of spread of the coronavirus? >> well, we have the benchmark standard set by the maricopa county, the cdc, those types of things. the district has done all of those things and tried to go above and beyond as far as mitigation factors of social distancing, sanitation stations, mask requirements, staggering lunches, opening up open areas of the school to try to separate kids. auditoriums. those types of things. they are trying to do everything they can within the restrictions that we have from the health

experts so that that we can provide such a safe environment for the kids to come back. will: give me a sense if you could, coach. what percentage have opted into online learning and how many teachers have opted out of coming back to school? >> so, i don't specifically have the numbers of kids that are going to be coming back. so i teach, you know, strength conditioning, weights for the football team. and as far as i know now, the student body of queen creek is about 2100 students out of our school. and when the district has been doing survey and things before the decision was ever made, the numbers were coming back about 80% of the student body or the parents in our community were demanding or something for return-to-school. will: and the teachers? >> yeah, it was pretty similar. i don't have those specific numbers. will: we will have to look for that number of student, what percentage of students and teachers look to come back as schools welcome students back. coach, really appreciate your

morning it was a delightful moment. we do have other news to get. to say all you have to do is walk down the streets of new york city or chicago or any of america's biggest cities to realize that law and order will be a major tenet in this coming presidential election. and president trump knows that he is already going after vice president biden and kamala harris about how they will approach crime and law and order in america. listen to this. >> our country is suffering from a radical far left movement that is trying to defame, demoralize, defund, dismantle and dissolve our great police departments. it's a left wing war on cops. no one will be safe in biden's america. no city, no town, no suburb will be spared. but, if they win this election, every city in america will be under siege. because the police are good in seattle and they are good in -- all of these different places. they are not being let do their

job. will: president trump yesterday got the endorsement of the biggest police union in new york city. jed, pete, i'm telling you, this will be one of the biggest issues in this coming election. jedediah: yeah. it's interesting. you are seeing, you know, crime wave throughout the country. so many cities we have covered new york. portland, seattle, and many more because there has been a defund the police movement. i think the left went a little crazy on this. they went so far left with defund the police that they have turned off people who may have been inclined to look at a biden ticket are now saying well, if this is what they stand for and represent forget it. they are not coming out and saying we don't support defund the police. it's not just about skirting around it because president trump has been very explicit about his support for law enforcement so if you are not going to be that and you are going to be somewhat of the antithesis of that that's going to be a big problem considering what's happening to crime and a lot of cities. people don't want to seed that bleed out to their cities. maybe you don't live in new york city. you are saying wait a second. if this could happen in new york city. could it happen in my is i?

i don't want that. i have a family here. this is going to be a very key issue for this coming election. pete: important to note this union in new york city has not made an endorsement like this before. they said we don't recall endorsing anyone in the past. for the nypd union to come out and support the president is a very big deal. and if you remember 2016, i mean, president trump made a big part of his candidacy about sovereignty, about protecting our borders. the lawlessness that was happening there an issue that really wasn't amplified nationally before. now joe biden, if you look at the ads he has put out recently he is trying to make the election about covid-19 and the covid response. president trump is saying hey, that's something we are addressing. but, law and order. lawlessness versus the support of the police, you, you know, you and your national need to make your own calculation about what's best for you. will: pete, if i may just really quickly a lot of the things that we debate in politics end up sounding theoretical it. could affect my life sometime in the distant future. law and order effects people's lives immediately and on the ground.

i just point you to the tragic story of cannon this isn't just a new york or chicago story. it's an american story and will affect the ballot box. pete: very much. so you talked about the distant future how about the not so distant past. you remember i just mentioned 2016. what happened there from the former obama administration as far as surveillance of the trump campaign. there has been a lot in the three and a half years that has unfolded. durham is still ongoing with his investigation. we were told there would be a break in the case yesterday. and there was. it turns out former fbi lawyer kevin clinesmith. he was in part of the fisa application. effectively changed the wording to make it -- there he is right there. there is young kevin. he changed directly what was written in the text about carter page to instead of admitting that carter page was a cia asset which he was he changed it to say no, he was not a cia asset. instead, therefore, implicated as the potentially helping the russians which opened up the

fisa application. this exfbi lawyer has pled guilty in the durham probe. leading a lot of people who wonder what could be coming next. finally and some accountability. president trump spoke on the issue about this lawyer yesterday. said it's just the beginning. listen. >> a corrupt fbi attorney, who falsified fisa warrants in james comey's very corrupt fbi is expected to plead guilty, you probably heard that it just came out. so, that's just the beginning, i would imagine. because what happened should never happen again. so, he is pleading guilty. terrible thing. terrible thing. the fact is, they spied on my campaign and they got caught. you will be hearing more. pete: because they were all assuming and you saw this in some of the information that

came from kevin clinesmith. they were all assuming hillary clinton would be the president of the united states. and none of this would come out. clinesmith admitted my fingerprints are all over. this when asked if he wanted to stay in the trump administration he said of course viva la resistance. it's not a name you know strzok, comey, brennan, rice, powers. kevin clinesmith the first one to effectively plead guilty and there could be more. which maybe we will get some accountability, jed. jedediah: yeah. many have talked about just how familiar deceit likely went into getting these fisa warrants. now we are seeing step one of findings out a little bit about that deceit. we said this is going to be step one of this. we are going to see a lot more. a lot more is going to be unfolding. we spoke to an expert on this brett tolman a powerful move by the prosecutor to make this move earlier on "fox & friends." check out what he had to say. >> there are times when you have a cooperator that is going to plead guilty and you keep that indictment under seal. so, why now? i think that durham wants folks

to know that he has the ability to bring indictments and he is not going to be afraid to bring those indictments. i think it's a strong message to folks out there that are being, you know, investigated that if they want to come in now and they want to help themselves out, now is the time to do it. it's just the beginning of his investigation. and i think it's a powerful move by this prosecutor. will: it is high time, pete, for some accountability. this drove hysteria. it drove media news cycles for years. and while we want to get politics out of the justice department. no matter which administration is in charge, it is also time as you point out for accountability. pete: yeah, it was russia for years and years and years. it turns out the ones usings russian misinformation were the democrats going after trump the entire time. but, we have got a few additional headlines this morning and we will bring it to you right now. overnight a firefighter corrections officer and two others are hurt after inmates

left, radical. she was voted more radical and more left than bernie sanders. let that sink in. but, this is what the media does is a huge double standard when it comes to republicans, conservatives. even black conservatives like myself. i'm pillaged and criticized all the time from the left. but, that just means my word is out. my message is resonating. they can continue to do it. it doesn't bother me one bit. jedediah: seems to me that the media already in large part not doing their job when it comes to kamala harris. we have seen them label her moderate and centrist without doing the job of digging into that record. let's get to support for president trump. and what that actually looks like in the country right now there was a recent fox news poll that asked, you know, are your neighbors voting for president trump? do you think your neighbors are supporting him. take a look at those numbers. trump 39%. biden 34%. depends 7%. and unsure 20%. do you think there are a lot of people out there who will show up and vote for president trump

but are keeping very quiet about it right now and maybe don't want to make that known? >> you are absolutely right. i do believe that it's a silent majority. there is a huge support for president trump. there is excitement, there is enthusiasm for the president. and, look, there is a stark dynamic from what democrats are proposing which is bigger government, more spending, more taxes. their radical policy agenda for the green new deal, which is a job killer and will raise energy prices. president trump standing for law and order, safety and security for americans. jobs. we saw how his accomplishments were before the virus hit. record low unemployment, more jobs and people to fill them. wages were going up. and the democrats are doing the polar opposite. i mean, something like safety, law and order. democrats are silent with the riots and the violence that's going on in these cities. jedediah: unfortunately, yeah, unfortunately live have to wrap

hang out on the ranch. ride horses. shoe horses. and generally, experience the great people of montana. america is awesome. it is gorgeous. it is awe inspiring. every single state had some surprising geographic beauty and history that was worth seeing and learning about. but, more special than anything than i saw in america's natural beauty, honestly is her people. they are innovative, they are resilient, they are obstinate and independent, but they are considerate. they are patriotic. and they are friendly. americans are even more beautiful than america is. there you go. i know that sounds a little sack critical condition. but it's 100 percent true not fake sweetness america and its

people are awesome 7,000 miles. 15 states. only four car sicknesses. only four across the whole time. jedediah: wow. >> same son all four. jedediah: you had me at catch and release with those frogs. i know now that you are. anna: mall lover and can i support all that you do that you have a beautiful family i think this was important message that you shared at a time so polarizing and divisive but we all should be able to appreciate the beauty that is this country and you just did a fantastic job of illustrating that and so greagreat to see that you and yr family had that time together exploring that great nation. pete: that was really well done. makes me jealous. this is my road trip that i took in an rv summed up. kids shut up. sit down. we're almost there. will: car sickness. pete: no car sickness. maybe the rv helped with that because you could sleep.

followed will's trip check it out on instagram. did he it right. very cool. have to go back to that ranch,. will: second try i'm going to nail this standard is 75% i have much not much room for weather go to the weather with rick reichmuth. rick: man, nicely done. will: stuck it. rick: pete, that's the difference between seven kids and two kids in a car. will: an rv. pete: maybe good parenting by will, too. i will give him that. rick: i was trying to not go there jeb is involved. so i know there is good parenting at least somewhere in that household. which one was your gavery national park? will: it has to be yellow stone. i. will say zion blew me away. i had no idea how beautiful southern utah was. no idea. rick: southern utah is the best. i'm so glad you said zion. that's my favorite. i love it so much. talk about the weather. really hot out in zion right now.

out in parts of the southeast showers. it's the summer. atmosphere primed with the heat and humidity. pop in today and in fact the next few days h a really significant line of storms move across mostly minnesota and into iowa overnight and yesterday afternoon. i will tell you behind this things really calmed down, which is really good news because we had that huge storm on monday that still has people in iowa without power. really struggling in the area that needs lots of help. log in online and find a way to help the folks especially across eastern iowa if you like. a little bit of monsoonal moisture across the southwest. not much fortunately. temps breaking records. guys, send it back to you. pete: thank you, rick. rick: you bet. jedediah: we have important headlines. man facing arson charges after prosecutors say he set an nypd van on fire. police say surveillance video shows sam carrying a gas can before lighting the police van on fire last month.

september 12th ahead of pumpkin picking season that is a sentiment many of us can share. covid, go away. pete: corn maizes can be confusing, too. have you been through one? will: no. i thought aliens made corn mazes. pete: no, those are crops. jedediah: halloween scary ones things jump out at you really cool stuff. pete: three acres is a whole other ballgame though. countless businesses crippled by looting and lockdown rules. in chicago the numbers are staggering. now as the city recovers from last week's looting, local leaders are taking a stand against the lawlessness. that's next.

pete: welcome back as chicago recovers from last week's looting. city leaders taking a stand against lawlessness. >> chicago police cannot and will not tolerate looting in our

city. our strategy this weekend and beyond includes increased deployments in our retail corridors throughout the city. pete: a surge of an additional 1,000 officers are expected to be deployed in chicago this weekend to help combat potential unrest. our next guest is from chicago and is well aware of the troubles facing the city. dionte johnson is an advisory board member for black voices for trump and joins us now. dionte, thanks for being here. are they finally taking the right approach in chicago and will it work? >> well, you know, pete, finally is the word. finally is the correct word. i'm not sure. you know, they should have taken this step a long time ago when theit started happening chicago antifa got involved. hopefully this will work. this is the difference between proactive leadership and reactive leadership. and lori lightfoot has shown reactive leadership since day one.

and this is not good. it's not good and our businesses are hurting tremendously. pete: dionte, why have they been reactive? 42 people charged following looting in chicago this week. everybody saw images of the bridges coming up to prevent it from getting worse. why did it take so long for them to get to this point? >> well, you know, i don't know. lori lightfoot just like i said she has been very reactive. i think it has been politically motivated. i think that you know, at one time these were considered good protesters. so, because of that they don't want to look -- they want to look like they were wrong. but our president, since all of this has began has been saying law and order. law and order. law and order. and that is exactly what has to happen in chicago. we have people who are not able to go to work because these looters are looting their jobs. and so we have to think about all americans. and lor lori lightfoot has to tk about all americans. she has to think about the business owners. and she also has to think about

the commerce in the city of chicago. >> pete: you know, the president ran in 2016 talking about the forgotten men and women. do you feel like the black people, people of all background in chicago who are shot or affected by this violence, do they feel like they have been forgotten by their mayor, by law enforcement that's not able to keep those communities safe? >> well, you know, if you talk to the parents of the 3-year-old that was shot. if you talk to the parents of a 13-year-old that's shot, you know, they do feel forgotten. they feel forgotten because nothing is being done. then when the president of the united states offers to help, then he gets push back. so that's why the president has been fighting for the forgotten community since he was elected. and that includes in chicago. that includes what he has done with operation legend. that includes what he has done with opportunity zones because it effects chicago tremendously. pete: diante johnson i know have you lived just blocks from where

this has happened and it has affected you directly. >> thank you. pete: college football sidelined this fall. costing businesses and college towns millions of bucks. brian brenberg will discuss the economic impact. that's coming up next ♪ ♪

hotels in college towns will

also feel the pressure of no fans and lost revenue. here to break down what this means is fox news contributor and the chair of business and finance program at the kings college in manhattan it's professor brian brenberg. brian, thanks for being with us today. listen, this is going to be a massive financial hit for schools themselves. the effect on athletic programs. athletic departments and the school at large. football is such a massive revenue generator. what i think is underwritten and what i would love to hear from you about is the effect on college towns. everybody around the school. what will happen to these businesses? >> yeah, we know that it's going to mean tens of millions of dollars of lost revenue for schools. what it means for those communities in which the schools operate is even bigger. you think about saturday game day. you think about the night before and you think about the hotels the restaurants, the bars. you think about the catering on game day. you think about the parking. you think about the shopping. all of those things come into play with college football and for a town like columbus, ohio, or happy valley or tuscaloosa or

something like this big college football towns, you are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of a season. that goes away if college football doesn't lap. this isn't just a story about athletes. it's not just a story about schools. it's a story about the businesses that have been most affected by coronavirus. the leash ands who at this tattle, the retail businesses. they are very much on the line right now. when you add it up across this country. saw many of the college football programs cancel their seasons this year. you are talking about tens of billions of dollars in lost economic output. that has real effects on people's wallets and livelihoods. were. will: it's stunning. potential cancellation of non-revenue generating sports. future of theist athletes and what we see here is it impacts the communities around them. get to the second topic, professor. i don't really know how to set this up. it is stunning. a california assemblyman is proposing a wealth tax, first of its kind in the nation.

that could tax california residents for 10 years, a wealth tax that would get you for 10 years after have you left the state. i don't even -- i don't even know what to say. here, professor, listen to this. this is the aassemblyman explaining his new tax proposal on cavuto yesterday. >> we have a phased in approach where beyer by if you move in year one you are 90% of the tax bill applies to year two. 80% of the tax and so on for 10 years until it phases out. >> after they move and they have left, you are still taxing? they are no longer california residents. you can't legally do that. >> for 10 years the wealth was accumulated during their time in california. >> professor, i don't think millionaires and billionaires are at the top of anybody's worry list right now. that being said we care about capitalism and the rule of law. how is this possible? >> it's not about millionaires and billionaires. i will tell you what you can call it. call it self-assault and battery

taj. wealth taxes don't work. the only thing they end up producing is people fleeing the places that levy those taxes. i mean, if you are a millionaire, billionaire in california, you are not going to stick around and wait for this wealth tax. you are not going to pay it by the way if you leave the state. there is no way. but this, again, ends up hurting the little guy. california is so dependent on the tax revenue of millionaires and billionaires. 50% of their income tax revenue comes from the top 1%. you drive them away, forget about it. forget about all that government spending. forget about all those big plans that the governor and assembly have. california will deteriorate. people will leave. they already have leaving in droves for places like nevada, texas, utah, elsewhere. california is cutting itself off at the knees to try to solve a short-term problem and long-term pain. will: professor have to leave it there professor brian brenberg, thank you so much. two days to go until the dnc.

american culture. real news to get to as well. if you were pay ag tension over the last several years, you would have been forgiven if you thought that president obama and vice president joe biden were bffs. that they had been tight and tied at the hip. but a new report by politico suggests that's not necessarily the nature of the relationship. in this report by politico, there are several fascinating quotes from those side the obama administration. like this one from ben rhodes obama's former national security advisor. he said that in the war room, vice president was somewhat of an unguided missile. and the former white house communications director jen psaki said you could see the technocratic eyes rolling at times when biden spoke. and finally obama's secretary of defense leon panetta said he was loyal, i think, to obama in every way in terms of defending and standing by him even progressive when he disagreed. to some extent he often felt

that the little was no loyalty g rewarded. maybe the relationship was not quite as rose as it appeared, pete. pete: joe biden put out the friendship bracelets joe and barack best buddies. the headline of that article what obama reali thought about biden. we didn't put the quote up on the full screen it. is reported that former president obama said of joe biden as vice president don't under estimate joe's ability to bleep things up. we knew there was contention. there is contention because after the obama years, it was hillary clinton that went to carry the mantel in 2016. she failed he didn't run that year. he divided to run this year. he cleared a field. obama never endorsed him. he claimed he didn't want the endorsement. of course he did. now there is some fissures here. come it comes as biden in the basement. debates looming. all the gaffes that he has made that he is not a great candidate

and maybe obama is creating a little bit of distance or they recognize that distance has always been there, jed. jedediah: yeah, i think that president obama knows joe biden's weaknesses probably better than anyone. he probably had to cover up for them a lot. often sometimes you know joe biden would make those gaffes and at the time many people would laugh it off. but the problem is when you are the top guy in charge, that stuff becomes not so funny anymore. i think president obama at this point is a little bit concerned about being tied to joe biden because he doesn't really know what direction this whole campaign is going in. and i think that's legitimate. i don't know how much truth there is to these reports. sometimes i think this is like the politics version of like tmz where we get all excited for this gossip. but i do think it was odd the way that enforcement was delayed and that joe biden, for so long, was pushing that friendship almost like making it like see, see, we are really friends, see, see we really do get along. any time somebody does that in politics in media and life trying to cover up something

that's either untruth or something is not quite what it seems. all remains to be seen. remains to be seen, also, how well that ticket is actually going to do with kamala harris declaring her role on it and what the trump campaign is going to do in response. so while all of this is going on with this virtual convention on the democratic side, what is going on on the side of the trump camp? well, trump is heading to the swing states and he is making a lot of the stops during the dnc on monday. is he going to be on minnesota and tuesday in arizona. thursday in pennsylvania and these are opportunities for him to do outreach to people we know president trump does really well that loft these forums where he gets to this is a chance to get out there and make his case heard as to why people should re-elect him this time around, will. will: interesting cowrcht punch, this next week while the democratic convention takes place and speeches made on a stage to the nation but without an audience, it can come off as

very sterile. meanwhile, president trump is going to be in swing states hand-to-hand, meeting people, talking to crowds. retail politics. it's essentially a zig to the democratic party's zag, pete. pete: that's a great point. the democratic wisdom has been particular party salute domination of the media narrative. one rule that president trump, candidate trump has followed is that there is no rules. that he will do it his own way. in this case he is saying i'm going to compete with your virtual convention from delaware. and i'm going to go straight to the people and try to create that split screen moment so that the conversation isn't just all about the fawning coverage of democrats. although the media will off and on. especially if you are watching only other networks. you know that's coming. but there was a big piece of news that came out this week with historic consequences as far as a piece deal reached by israel and the united arab emirates ushered along by president trump and the white

house. remember, just to step back for a moment, the state of israel when it was created was attacked by all of its neighbors, every single neighbor it had. it took years for jordan and egypt decades ago to sign peace deals with israel. israel is still at odds with most of the arab nations. well, to have signed a peace deal with the united arab emirates which recognizes israel's right to exist yes, in 2020, is a massive break through. they have been working together behind the scenes and the trump administration worked to make this relationship public. well guess who is trying to take credit for this piece deal, historic peace deal, yes, it's former vice president joe biden. here's a portion of what joe joe biden's camp is trying to say. they said the coming together of israel and arab states builds on the efforts of multiple administrations toy foster a broad arab israeli opening. including the efforts of the obama-biden administration to build on the arab peace initiative. while president trump reacted to that attempt for joe biden to

take credit, here is a portion of what he said. >> this is something we have been working very hard on. i saw where sleepy joe tried to claim credit for it. i'm trying to figure out how that one works. what he did is they made a terrible deal with iran. and the deal was a horror show. and i ended it. they gave him $150 billion for nothing. they gave them $1.8 billion in cash for nothing. they got nothing from that deal except trouble. just like they have been weak on china, they have been weak on russia. they have been weak on everyone. they were the weakest of all on iran. what you will see is other countries will come into that deal and you will have peace in the middle east. biden doesn't even know the names of the countries i am talking about. pete: jed, the only credit the obama biden ticket could take is that their policy was so bad on iran it forced arab countries to turn to israel in a relationship to defend themselves. jedediah: yeah, that's exactly right. you spoke with someone who know as lot more about this will

dr. qhanta ahmed. take a listen to what she had to say. >> president obama and vice president biden did nothing other than empower iran, feed into the islamist machine, bring back funds that would be then deployed toy hezbollah, underline and delegitimize the sunni muslim world layed ground for tremendous mistrust. they sided with the muslim brother in egypt against the egyptian people. this is a welcome refreshing change that muslims around the world owe a debt of gratitude to president trump. will: you know pete and jed earlier in the show we played clips in the mainstream media down playing the importance of this agreement. it seems to me you get it one of two ways. either it's not that big of a deal. or, joe biden shouldn't be taking credit for it. you don't get to say not that big of deal.

and, yet, have joe biden beating his chest that he was part of getting this accomplished. pete: that's right. maybe mow bell peace prize. just saying. jedediah: also incredibly sad. he has to come out oh yeah this all started under us. if you have to say that it didn't or you wouldn't have to say something so ridiculous. people would just know and attribute it to you. they don't attribute it to you because you weren't responsible for it stop saying it because that sounds ridiculous. that is my rant. turning to headlines now beginning with a fox news alert. just moments ago portland police announcing four arrests. police say demonstrators are facing charges for throwing rocks and glass postals at officers. some demonstrators also shooting fireworks at officers. forcing police to use tear gas to clear out the massive crowd. protesters setting dumpsters on fire in the middle of the streets as the city sees nearly 80 straight nights of arrest. president trump new york city

being imposed from manipulating currencies, to all the things they have been flushed out about themselves. thank goodness trump took them on. biden will have to, years ago he seemed to reflect that point of view. now, i think they have back pedaled and not only on this issue but a lot of others, is he going to have to give american workers the public straight answers. i think he's going to be caught in a difficult spot. because you can tell if it's trump, they don't like it. and, thank goodness, is he taking china on because their behavior is not the kind of trading partner that the world can live with and we are the only ones through trump that have held him accountable. will: president trump says blocking the latest relief package because he doesn't want to push the democrats' fund for mail-in ballots. this is becoming increasingly dangerous issue.

a warning out to states that they don't think they can do the job. so i think president trump is right on that. and we, as americans, no one wants to have voters suppressed from doing what is our right to do. on the other hand, you want results. they are to be tabulated quickly and accurately. mail-in ballots, comprehensively, that's not going to work. will: to your point, senator, 46 states have said they cannot ensure the integrity of mail in balloting. senator braun, appreciate your time. pete: 46 of 50. will: despite a nationwide push to defund the police, a number of cities are pushing to spend more money on law enforcement next year. the cop behind the refund the police movement says the silent majority is speaking out. and that's next ♪ turn it up and sing along ♪ we all work until the daylight is gone ♪ we all knock the edge around

i have also been clear we will have to come back and make adjustments not only because of the covid-19 pandemic but because of our desire to truly reimagine public safety. i'm not sure anymore what that means. reimagine public safety. >> yeah. and i don't think they know what it means either. but, overwhelmingly, we know that americans want to be safe. we know that americans want to feel secure. and we are blessed in fort worth texas that we have got citizens that just recently voted to refund our police department by a billion dollars over the next 10 years while authorize ago new sales tax. so we know that americans out there. american voters really do support public safety. they just don't have an outlet or a mouthpiece. what happens is at the lowest level of government. these elected officials are getting in place and they don't have the moral courage to stand up to the mob. will: seems to me if you want a reformed police department you might need to refund that police department. many, thank you for your time today. manny ramirez. >> thank you. will: study ahead, president trump says new york is in play.

math problem i can't quite put together. jedediah: something you see on the gres that you have to sit and figure out. still ahead, president trump is fed up with rising crime and high taxes. so he says new york is in play this election. new york? really? can he succeed despite the state's deep liberal ties? we're going to discuss that after the break. ♪ you got the best of my love ♪ whoa, whoa ♪ you got the best of my love ♪ whoa, whoa ♪ you got the best of my love ♪ sale of the year on the sleep number 360 smart bed.

trump says new york is in play with the spike in crime and high taxes. here to react assembly member and congressional candidate nicole. welcome to the show. when i saw this i said wait a second. new york, yes, is going through a crime spike but it is decidedly blue. could new york be in play? >> i certainly think so and parts of this state that trump will win overwhelmingly including my congressional district. this is a district he won by 10% currently held by a democrat in congress. we are going to take it back this year. we are excited about all of that and bringing fresh vision to this city and state because people are extremely upset with the rise in crime. the rise in taxes. they are really disgusted by the fact that our congressman marched with defund the police crowd in front of our local free sinct and this is happening all over the state. in fact, the people that complained the most are the ones that voted against the president in 2016. i think they are going to be reconsidering this november.

jedediah: so what are the key issues that president trump should be speaking about? i you mentioned the crime. i know that people have fled manhattan, have fled many of the bureaus as a result of feeling that bill de blasio, for example, does not -- is not supporting local law enforcement what should president trump be talking about in terms of targeting congressional seats for republicans? >> president trump and i are certainly on the same page when it comes to restoring law and order back to the streets of our city. you know, when you look at bill de blasio or max rose and their support for closing rikers island releasing prisoners, bail and defunding police. that is certainly something my don't support. certainly yesterday the new york city pba endorsed him. also, the economy, you know, our restaurants are struggling. they are saying one out of three restaurants in our city are not going to reopen because of the policies put in place right now by our mayor and governor that are keeping them shut down

despite us meeting the metrics to reopen. we have a major issue here economically and only president trump can fix this nationally, i believe. but certainly having him putting pressure on our mayor and governor when it comes to reopening our city. that's a huge issue as well. of course, the overall cost of living which we know the tax and spend mentality of democrats that is under one party rule here at the city and state level is a real major problem here and we have to stop voting in those elected officials who continue to hurt the working class and the middle class. jedediah: yeah, i mean, nicole, at this point someone in leadership is going to have to incentivize people to stay in new york and make them feel that it is a safe place that it's a safe place for their businesses, that their businesses can and will succeed and law enforcement someone needs to call the police that the police will be supported and will be able to come to their aid. so, remains to be seen how these election results will go. we will be watching closely. thanks so much for being here as always.

montages of his life, you'll learn all about him if you stick around with him this morning and rightfully so. but we're going to start with politics as we often do on this program it's the countdown to the virtual dnc, couple days until they kickoff their digital convention, but this idea as since joe biden has chosen his vice presidential pick kamala harris, the media has been pushing hard the idea that she is a moderate of course that's what uncle joe wants you to believe about his own candidacy while bringing kamala harris on board, the media's helping to try to push that narrative. here is a portion of what the media is saying about moderate kamala harris. >> kamala harris comes from the middle of the road moderate wing of the democratic party, not the first choice of progressives. >> cult it vatting a moderate political reputation and invit ing criticisms from liberal s she was insufficiently progressive on criminal justice issues. >> trump campaign has been chomping at the bit for someone

to attack, something to stick, and they seem to have only this attempt to tie a decidedly moderate ticket to the radical left. pete: they're not even hiding it , jed, they're just coming out trying to run cover for a campaign whose top of the ticket has said it'll be the most progressive ever, who then brings in kamala harris who was in 2019 deemed the most progressive meaning leftist member of the u.s. senate even moreso than ofly socialist bernie sanders, and yet she signed on to as we pointed out the green new deal medicare for all, open borders, effective ly defunding the police why are they running cover for her like that? jedediah: don't forget the gun buyback too throw that in there. yeah, it makes no sense, because she ran for president and she was out there talking about all these issues. i think what they're referencing is her record on criminal justice in california when she was the attorney general because many progressives feel that she wasn't progressive enough.

they took issue with her on that particular issue and because that issue is front and center right now, they are using that issue to say well, she's moderate, when in fact she's not moderate. many people have been talking about how she's a cam eel john and just does whatever some thinks will get her elected says whatever she thinks will get her elected and you saw when she ran in california, you're seeing it again now but if you look at her policy platforms, these are hard left platforms. there isn't a lot there, to distinguish her from what progressives deem the hard left of the warren, the aoc the bernie sanders, not a lot of difference there, will. will: you know, jed that's my biggest concern. is she principled, a far left audiolog, her voting record might suggest yes, but what i'm more concerned about is the biden/harris campaign hollow meaning is it ready and willing to be filled with the politics of the moment and the poll techs of the moment on the left require far left radicalism, and former president obama's speechwriter says kamala harris might be just the candidate then

, listen. >> it was hilarious to me that she's being called in all this coverage a moderate. like joe biden has found a fell lot moderate. she supports something extremely close to medicare for all which bernie sanders acknowledged in his statement supporting her. she's for the green new deal. she has one of the most liberal records in the u.s. senate. pete: we didn't say it. john said it. i mean, the reality is even the folks on the left recognize it's a complete miss characterization. we had miranda devine on the program earlier talking about joe biden's pick. listen. >> really, you have to remember that she is a shape shifter, she will be whatever she needs to be for whatever audience she's in front of. aoc and elizabeth warren, whatever else you say about them , they are genuine. they are authentically liberal. i think with kamala harris, she will be whatever she needs to be at the time and she's incredibly ambitious if i'm allowed to use that word, and of course, her

eye is on the prize which is joe biden's job. pete: it's true. jedediah: that's such an important point too and important distinction is that whether you like elizabeth warren and aoc and bernie sanders or not, they are telling you exactly what they believe. there is an authenticity there in terms of what they say and what they believe. i don't feel that way about kamala harris and i wonder if voters are going to say well hold on a second. looking at her record compared to what she's saying right now those things don't jive. is she just a person of the moment who says what she thinks she needs to say, interesting whether or not she will actually bring out voters but now we're heading to another big story that we're covering because president trump is blasting democrats for holding up another round of coronavirus relief as both sides remain split on the integrity of mail- in ballots. mark meredith joins us live as the president says he's ready to send out stimulus checks. mark? >> jed good morning to you. well congress is still deadlocked on an overall stimulus package president trump is encouraging lawmakers and really his own staff to start

mailing out those additional stimulus checks fast. you'll remember at the start of the pandemic, congress approving those one-time direct payments depending on how much money you brought in the year prior. well now the president says it's time to do it again. president trump: i've directed the secretary of the treasury to get ready and send direct payments, 3,400 for a family of four to all americans. democrats are holding this up. they want $1 trillion to go to their friends doing a bad job running certain cities and states that are doing very badly >> reporter: but the president cannot send these checks out on his own. he needs congress to approve the cash and lawmakers aren't even due back in d.c. until next month unless there is a deal. meantime this weekend the biggest battle in washington really over the postal service. democrats demanding the president agree to spend billions more on usps to assist with several things including keeping up with the election. the post office is warning at

least 46 states because of the expected surge in mail-in voting that some ballots may not reach their destination before election day is over. congress has been demanding answers from the newly-installed postmaster general about this , and about his operations going into the election. the postmaster general had a chance to send a letter back to congress yesterday saying any sort of political drama about their operations will not make their jobs any easier as they get ready for what will likely be a historic november election. jed, pete and will, back to you guys. will: thanks a lot. 46 out of 50 states suggesting that mail-in balloting integrity cannot be ensured. this is going to be a massive story for months. i know its been caught in a political crossfire, who does and does not benefit, which party may ben it from from mail- in balloting but the truth of the matter is right now it is right for potential fraud. it's something we talked to senator mike brown about a little bit earlier on fox & friends. >> yes, if you do not want to go in-person, you've got the ability with an absentee

ballot. that does not mean that you do mail-in voting in total. i think it be a catastrophe because even the post office has put a warning out to states that they don't think they can do the job, so i think president trump is right on that, and we as americans, no one wants to have voters suppressed from doing what is our right to do. on the other hand, you want results that are to be tabulated quickly and accurately, mail-in ballots comprehensively, that's not going to work. jedediah: yeah and this is a huge challenge we're in because you have to protect the integrity of people's right to have their votes registered but we've never seen anything like this before. a pandemic you'll have more people that are going to want to be filling out these mail-in ballots than ever before, less people in-person at the polls so this is incredibly challenging and obviously you want to protect the integrity of the election at large and make sure the people who should be voting are voting and the people who shouldn't be voting are not voting, so that's going to

continue to be a story we'll follow. another story that has caught our eye that is truly unbelievable when you hear about it is california's wealth tax. check this out this could become the first of its kind in the united states under a new proposal in which residents who leave the state, you heard that right. they believe the state but they still have to pay taxes for up to 10 years. check out california assembly woman who proposed the plan talking about it on cavuto. >> we have a phased-in approach whereguy if you move in year one 90% of the tax bill applies, year two, 80% of the tax and so on for 10 years until it phases out. neil: after they move and they've left you're still taxing they're no longer california residents you can't legally do that. for 10 years the wealth was accumulated during their time in california. jedediah: this is insane. leave the state and they still want your money.

what country are we living in? i don't even know what to say, pete. pete: well it's a follow through of this whole idea of you didn't build that, remember? i mean this whole mentality of this money isn't yours, you didn't earn it, the states the reason you did. we allowed you to become wealthy we allowed you to succeed so that money is it's called prison when you're telling people, if you leave we're going to effectively make you pay a ransom when you do so. well i mean, i know you want to chime in, will. will: 10 year, pete, scaling down one year at a time from 90, 8 oh,, 70, 60, 10 years you'll be paying a wealth tax in california, insane. pete: insane. people are moving in droves to your home state of texas, rightfully so. this will probably make people move even more unintended consequences. turning now to your headlines, overnight a firefighter corrections officer and two others are hurt after inmates spark a fire inside a jail cell. new york city firefighters say inmates lit garbage on fire on

jedediah: we have been covering it all summer amid calls to de fund and dismantle police departments, crime is speaking in liberal cities across the country. major cities like new york, chicago, seattle, and portland have descended into chaos and have been rocked by violence. here to react is fox nation host nancy grace. nancy we often have you on hear to talk about crime stories and now we have this larger story of just seeing crime spikes in certain cities throughout the country. i'm a new yorker i'm watching new york go through such distressing times and you're se. what do we do here? >> well, you're right. people are fleeing big cities where crime is skyrocketing but here is the kicker. while a lot of people across the country may not be able to relate to big cities because they don't live there, crime is now escalating in other areas just such as milwaukee, not

particularly big cities like la, philly, new york. it's going across the country and i'll tell you why, because of what we're doing to our police. yes. what happened to george floyd, mr. floyd, is wrong. wrong, but defunding police is not the answer. i prosecuted in inner city atlanta for a decade. it was one of the murder capitol s of the world at that time. defunding police is not that answer at all. we're sending cops into horrible situations where their lives are at risk taking away their money and defunding them, and we expect to fight crimes? what are you going to do? send a social worker into talk down a bullet? don't bring a knife to a gun fight. much less a social worker. jedediah: yeah and the question is obviously, what the do we do here because you see so many local politicians around the country in many of these liberal cities just refusing to do their job and back up that

law enforcement which is needed to keep that crime under wrap. i want to shift over though because you have an amazing show on fox nation that's coming up. american kidnapping, finding elizabeth smart is now available we actually have a clip. let's watch that and then i want your reaction about the show. >> that pretty much showed lust trump's religion. join us as we delve into one of the most horrifying kidnapping cases in american history. this full story has never really been told, until now. jedediah: nancy what will people see on this show, pretty compelling just from that intro. you know what i've learned? when i look at a case that i prosecuted or investigated, the more time pass, the more i learn about it. we learn how the kidnapper targeted elizabeth smart. we learned about the mom being a good samaritan, bringing him to

the home to do odd jobs. we learned about what elizabeth endured and how she has triform offed over that and what's so shocking to me i hope you're sitting down you may need to lay down for this one is that wanda barzee, the devil's minion who allowed this to happen to elizabeth smart has walked free. she certainly has. jedediah: well people can absolutely catch that. we'll be looking forward to see ing that. it is streaming now on fox nation and from now until auguse copy of shawn hannity's new book "live free or die" by signing up for one or two-year plan you don't want to miss it head to foxnation.com right now because nancy grace's special american kidnapping finding elizabeth smart you must absolutely see it nancy thank you as always for being here and we will keep talking to you. >> thank you for inviting me. jedediah: i know there's a lot of stories you're covering unfortunately, but we will have you here and that is the fortunate part of all of this.

we said oh, wait, wait, relax, tunnel to towers, we got this. we're going to make sure and we've already secured the lights , we're going to make sure those two big beautiful beams of light that represent the loss on 9/11 will be shining this year at ground zero. pete: that was frank siller, and for the first time since 2002 manhattan's iconic twin beams of light will not shine. organizers of the 9/11 tribute in lights say the health risks are too great for its large crew of 40 to produce safely, but tunnel to towers frank siller is refusing to let that happen. here with me now to react the navy seal who shot and killed osama bin laden rob o'neill and marine corps bomb tech joey jones. rob, joey thank you so much for being here. so rob, the visceral reaction from folks across the country has been immediate and real. your reaction? >> yeah, i mean it's

disappointing that they're not going to have it on but it's an incredibly difficult decision for the 9/11 memorial museum to do this. they want to do it. they just have so many workers so many crowded people on a stage with the pandemic they made it not as a political decision but just a decision of safety. it's awesome to see frank siller to step in, the tunnel to towers foundation which is an incredible foundation and i'm sorry, tunnel to towers.org because he will make it happen. it's going to happen and they will be read and there will be beams of light. they are both great americans, both organizations are incredible, the memorial has been incredible to me and it's a tough call all around. pete: joey rob makes a fair point. everyone is making their own calculations and considerations at this moment but at the same time, you know, tunnels to tower s is stepping up where someone else at this point is unwilling to. isn't that what you look to, a little bit of courage a little bit of leadership in these moments to say hey, despite the moment we're in, we can

shine these lights to provide inspiration for everybody. >> no absolutely, pete. i mean i know frank and i know tunnel to towers the story of them stepping up when other people won't it's a song that's been played quite a bit. it's an amazing organization and i don't have an opinion on the two lights as much as reading the names. you know, when things like this happen, it takes an act of courage to stand up and say you know, some things in life are worth your effort and even risk and when those towers came down an entire generation assumed the risk not just physically of going to war but to show an entire country that was scared and frustrated that we'll get through it, and when we mark another year of surviving those towers coming down, surviving someone or something, some enemy trying to tear us down i think this year is as important as any. things like wearing a mask and staying six feet apart and washing our hands and protecting those most vulnerable, if any of that is true it can be implement ed and this is a worthy cause to do it so with the

lights i don't know the technical side of what those 40 people do and how close they are but to read the names and not even show up to do that, i think new york, you know, they have to lead the way here. they led the way on the virus attacking their city and it's their turn to lead the way on us going back to life, so i'm just disappointed in the fact that the names aren't being read, and that the one city in this world that stands as a shining light can't turn the lights on, so that is very disappointing to me because this entire country deserves every signal they can have that we will get through this and we're going back to life. pete: guys we'll have to leave it right there, but i'd love to have you both back for 9/11 as we cover these events are covered and remembered no matter what and we'd love to get your thoughts as that day approaches as well. rob, joe, god bless you guys thanks for your service to this country. thanks guys. >> thank you. pete: over to jed for additional headlines. jedediah: yeah, we've got headlines for you right now, bernie madoff's brother is

jedediah: as professional sports return to america, the nation is seeing a rise in activism by athletes. will: in major league baseball we've seen teams taking a knee before the first pitch, while in the nba players displaying social justice messages on their shirts, and jerseys. pete: here to break down what this means is partner and columnist for outkick.com, jason whitlock. big fan of your work appreciate it all. break this down for us what has the impact been on ratings, on the game itself, on viewership, on how fans view it as these leagues have gone full-in on sort of social justice. >> you know, i think we're going to have to wait a little longer to figure out exactly what the impact is in terms of fan interest only because we're at such unusual times in global

history, let alone in american history and there are so many more pressing issues beyond sports. i would tend to think though, my guess be they want the fans. look the sports world has attached itself to patriotism for 100 years, if not longer, and a big part of why sports became such a major pop culture for us is because it was a celebration of americana and our best ideals and america living up to being its best self, and to see the athletes, i don't think they really understand the business and how they got there to the point where they're making so much money, and the attachment of the patriotism and how that played a role in that, and look, there are some athletes that i think they don't care about the business right now, they want their popularity over social media and i think

many of them have been led to believe that these symbolic acts , kneeling during the national anthem, wearing t-shirts, they think they're having real impact, and pushing the country forward. i don't think they fully understand the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s. i don't think they understand a strategy that leads to growth and improvement. what they're doing. jedediah: jason, everything has gotten so political. many of us crave a time when you used to just be able to turn on a baseball game or a football game and have it just be about the sport. is that time ever going to return? >> it might. but i think it'll be a while, you know, it may be five, 10 years before sports ever gets back to that. i think there's going to have to

be some significant financial repercussions for that message to sink threw to the athletes and i think that it'll take some time for the athletes to realize just how divisive their embrace of the black lives matter movement is and so once that realization comes back, i think they will return to just playing sports and leaving the politics away from the activities. i have no problems with athletes wanting to get involved but there's no reason, i don't think it's expected to do it on the court or the football field will: jason you and i have interacted in the past. it's great to see you on fox news. i respect your writing and i look forward to talking to you more in the future you guys are doing great things. keep it up, jason. >> appreciate you, thanks for having me. will: pete over to you. pete: still ahead, will made his big debut all morning long. he passed the test but you won't believe where he was before this his families all-american summer

pete: well we've been welcoming our friend, will cain, to the fox & friends familial morning, so where exactly was will before he joined us? jedediah: here is a look at the patriotic road trip he took with his family across america. will: my family went on a road trip this summer and we covered 7,000 miles in 15 states. i wanted my family to see america. we have two boy, charlie is 12,

wes is 9. it was a unique opportunity to pack a lifetimes worth of trips into one big month. we saw texas, mount rushmore, yellowstone, zion, bryce canyon, montana, the grand canyon, and we saw america. we talked about its history. we talked about its values. we hung out together as a family it's absolutely one of the best experiences i've had in my life. when i was a kid, i bought dime

store novels of old west outlaws as we went around the country, i tried to get my kids into some of those same stories. we went frog eating. i did not grow up frog eating, but frog gigging is catching a big, live, bull frog and i'm talking like this big. you see , there they are and then you spotlight them and they will kind of freeze in the spotlight and then you creep up behind with a big gigging pole and it's a clamp and you get as close as you can and they will usually leap right when you go and you catch it and you bring in the frog. >> look at at that dude! by the way, we did catch and release it was all very humane, no animals were harmed just a lot of big smiles for children! when i was 25, i moved to montana, to write a book, i was essentially adopted into this montana family, which were ranchers and hunting outfitters

for generations. on this road trip we got to go back and visit that family, introduce them to my boys, hang out on the ranch, ride horses, shoe horses, and generally experience the great people of montana. america is awesome. it is gorgeous. it is all-inspiring. every single state had some surprising geographic beauty and history that was worth seeing and learning about, but more special than anything that i saw in america's natural beauty, honestly, is our people. they are innovative, resilient, they are independent and obstine nt, but they're considerate, patriotic, and they're friendly. americans are even more beautiful than america is. you know the last several months have been tough on americans.

this time though has allowed my family to get to see america. you can't travel outside the country. you can invest in the country. we spent time together seeing not just america but americans, guys, and let me just tell you it's physically beautiful but even more than that, americans and our history, it is beautiful it is wonderful wonderful place and i'm happy now to return to new york city to "fox & friends" which by the way, more coming up in just a moment with some viewer questions for me, after the break. >> ♪ ♪ try wayfair. you got this!
