[cheers] ♪ country ♪ from a cowboy moves to her down home roots ♪ she's country steve: live from churchill downs in louisville, kentucky, it's "fox & friends" for the day before the 146th running for the roses. ladies and gentlemen, not only are we live in louisville but we are also live here in the new york city area on this, i would say it's a get away friday, jed and pete, but i think most of everybody has already gotten away for this holiday weekend. pete: i think that's right, steve. there aren't many folks sticking to the traditional work day today. am i right about that jed? our day is not even traditional. we are done at 9:00.

jedediah: that's true. our day is not traditional. we are here driving steve crazy today. we will also be here for the whole weekend. let us know on monday if you have had enough of pete and i. steve, it's great to have you as always. steve: it's great to have you. he thank you, everybody, we know you have a the love choices for morning news. thanks friday before labor day. pete: have you labor day shoes on. steve: keep looking straight ahead. separate boxes lik hollywood squares. >> trump supporter in portland is shot and killed by federal task force officers. steve: this happened overnight. meanwhile a police officer in cleveland shot and killed overnight as well, also in the line of duty. jedediah: todd piro joins us live with more on these breaking stories. todd? todd: good morning.

first to the northwest, authorities say michael tried running when federal task force members moved in. police in lacy, washington say rino ran out of an apartment into a car when gunfire broke out between him and four officers. we are now learning he did have a gun when he was killed. vice news releasing an interview with the 48-year-old who appeared to admit to the deadly shooting of eric danielson last week in portland saying he acted in self-defense. >> totally justified. had i not acted on any that my friend and i'm sure i would have been killed. because i wasn't going to stand there and let something happy. todd: reinoehl shot and killed danielson who was attending a trump rally in portland. looking for someone who shot and killed an officer. the car the officer was in was shot at several times before that officer crashed. the 25-year veteran of the force later dying from their injuries. a second person was also killed, but police do not believe that

person is a suspect. back to you. pete: todd, thank you. another one of our best in the line of deuteronomy doing the work that the cillized society requires. steve: terrible news. pete: terrible news. turning now to the 2020 campaign trail. president trump and joe biden coming out swinging in the swing states. steve: the two sparring over law and order and how they would do it in some of the nation's biggest cities and they both have different approaches. jedediah: our very own griff jenkins is live in washington with all of the highlights of the 2020 race in battle ground states tightens up. what else the latest. griff: good morning. you say different approaches. i will tell you yesterday may have been one of the most i willivielsestriillustrative day. won by 25 votes in 2016. it will be a slug fed again. president trump drawing law and

order in latrobe. >> far left rioters viciously attack law enforcement in democrat run cities all. burn down businesses, taser tere civilians and march through the streets chanting death to america. this is what we have, death to america. [boos] griff: the president's rally comes as a new quinnipiac university poll shows biden up in pennsylvania 52-44. you see biden leads by the same number of happened ling a crisis. it relationships in when you get to the economy where trump leads by 7, 52 to 45. and the polls vary, remember yesterday we just showed that you monmouth poll whereby ken was only ahead by 5 points. the former vice president traveled to kenosha where he stands meeting with the jacob blake family and taking jabs at president trump. >> a lot of folks thought well the president has made great strides with this -- you know,

this law and order -- boy after his convention he really made inroads. he hasn't. not at all. i'm not serious -- this should give you a little bit of confidence. griff: biden gives a speech today on the economy. we expect him to say that the economic crisis was made worse by president trump and it comes just as the jobs report is about to come out. now, president trump is getting ready to head out on the campaign trail next week heading to north carolina and florida and in florida, by the way, in that sin quib pack poll it's tight biden leads by 3 with 60 days to go. steve, pete, jed? pete: griff, thank you very much. if you want to see the contrast it's on full display. donald trump in a hanger or when he went to kenosha meeting with law enforcement. meeting with the businesses there that have been impacted directly bi-radism not called out by joe biden and riots that democrat mayors and governors

have been unwilling to take on. you contrast that with joe biden wearing a mask also while socially distancing and effectively spent time talking to and if you watch tucker's program last night a very controversial father of jacob blake who has a history of a great deal of radicalism. it comes down to the radicalism coming from the left and rioting hariotingthat's happening and wd actually do something about it. that's the contrast and the message, steve. steve: one of the other things is, pete, during the meeting with community leaders, joe biden put his foot in his mouth because he joked if he didn't wrap up soon, the organizers would shoot me, he said, which is a very unfortunate choice of words given everything that had happened. when you look at the two approaches, joe biden, it was reported he was going to be in kenosha on monday. then at the last minute they pulled the plug on that particular event and then he wound up talking about kenosha in -- where was that? he was in pittsburgh instead.

finally he has gone to kenosha. the president went to kenosha before him. the president actually toured the parts of the city that were gutted by the violence, jed, and joe biden didn't even go to those parts of town. he did talk to one business owner who was impacted but, nonetheless, you know, you got the president going out and saying i can't believe all this happened. the national guard came in and stopped all that stuff, and i'm going to, you know, he opened up the federal checkbook to help all those people. joe biden for the most part avoided those images because, obviously, those images not helpful to the message that he is trying to sell right now. jedediah: yeah, clearly a big distinction as you both point out between the approach of joe biden and the approach of president trump on the significant issue. we have been talking about law and order for a long time. it clearly is front and center. now, what people decide in terms of who is better fit to lead, i can't answer that question. what i think is important to note though, is no one person

and no one politician is going to be able to fix this problem. and maybe the politician that has an awareness of that will achieve some success with people. you need the help of local law enforcement and when it comes to criminal justice reform, that starts at the community level. that starts in your churches, in your schools, at your dinner tables. those conversations become pivotal. so a politician is important in terms of leadership, but they are not going to be able to be the be all and end all in terms of fixing these issues. regardless though, i think you are both correct in that there is a very significant difference in terms of approach and priorities when it comes to this particular issue of law and order and how those politicians have displayed that ronna mcdaniel, rnc chair, has talked about that distinction and what policies joe biden is actually running on. take a listen. >> joe biden is running on policies that will make our country less safe. is he for revoking cash bail. he is saying if you convert a building and if you do this in kenosha, wisconsin you can get out of jail the next day a get out of jail free card. he selected a running mate who

said that ice is like the kkk. he selected the running mate who applauded the l.a. police department for cuttings 150 million from their police funds. everything that joe biden is running on is making our country less safe and the presidents is saying not only am i going to make america safe again i'm going to get america working again. i will make sure that we keep america america. jedediah: yeah. so what she is saying is significant. because, if you actually dig into the records and what has or hasn't been accomplished, it will lead you in one direction or another. the question is are people doing that or are they buying into the talking points? i mean, the fact that joe biden method with jacob blake's family will resonate with some people. they may not dig into the details of that story and that may not be important to them. i think it's going to be significant. is this going to be an election about records and results or about talking points in and that remains to be seen quite frankly. pete: yeah, if you are talking about supporting the police, it actually does matter hot leader

is police either feel empowered or they don't. it's clear with the police unions coming out many which never endorsed a republican before for the president, they know that's a one way street at this point. the cash bail thing if you are fighting catch and release like you could against insurgency or accurately you are refighting it over and over again. the break down is mobs in masks. ultimately it's not okay to wear mask if you are in a mob. also okay not to wear one if you are the speaker of the house. steve: only if you are getting a hair cut. pete: that's right. to be fair. the president weighed in on nancy pelosi not wearing a mask. listen to this. >> i watched nancy pelosi -- you must wear your mask. you have to wear your mask. and we're going to keep every beauty salon closed in california and all over the country. and then i see a picture, i say nancy pelosi, well, where is her mask? she said i was setting up.

i was set up. if she was set up, then she shouldn't be leading the house of representatives. [cheers] i. the salon owner to lead the house of representatives. as soon as i heard she said well, she set me up. nancy, you are not supposed to get set up. you are representing our country. she should have said i made a mistake. sorry. pete: but she didn't, steve. she said no, you should apologize to me. steve: and we just heard of the president say that the salon owner erika caus who provided that tape to the news media to show the hypocrisy the president said she should run for congress. do you know what she said in response she said i see how hard the president fights for america it has inspired me to people in my businesses and everywhere. i never expected all of this the house i am focused on right now is the house with two little

girls under 10 with social distanced learning. i appreciate the sentiment but he is my president. and i will do what i need to do. because she has received so many death threats, and so many bad yelp review us, keep in mind her business is not open for inside care, only -- you can only do it outside. and nancy pelosi knew that. come on. the republican chair of the nevada g.o.p. set up a go fund me page to help her relocate to a town where she won't wind up with those kind of death threats and right now i'm sure we will link or you can find it elsewhere the go fund me has raised so far $115,000 for her to get out of san francisco and go somewhere where she can start over because this has been a terrible chapter in her life. jed. jedediah: yeah. i mean, nancy pelosi, yeah, she should have just said i'm sorry. i made a mistake.

steve: that's never going to happen. jedediah: you got no mask on. and also, she would have had to admit that -- how does she not know the rules in san francisco. it's utterly ridiculous. she knew of she had been trapped. she knew she was behaving irresponsibly she knew she was able to get away with something others wouldn't be able to get away with. she did what a typical politician does she pointed her finger at somebody else. the problem is it's extremely transparent and when you have so many businesses across the country forced to shut down and suffering, i don't care what type of political aisle you are on you look at this and disgusted. she will be in trouble with her own constituents as well. pete: they don't care. jedediah: head over to someone a lot brighter and more optimistic than nancy pelosi right nau and that is jillian mele who has headlines. jill goo. jillian: car runs over people attending people attending a

black lives matter in times square. [screaming] now, it is not fair at this point if anyone was hurt. police are searching for the driver and asking for anyone with information to come forward. president trump denies a report claiming he called dead u.s. service members losers and suckers. >> to think that i would make statements negative to our military and our fallen heroes when nobody has done what i have done, they made it up. jillian: a report by the atlantic claims the president made the comments to aides after scrapping a cemetery visit to honor those deceased service members in 2018 paris. texas governor greg abbott is considering control to prevent it being defunded. abbott posted on twitter saying in part quote we can't let austin defunding and disrespect for law enforcement to endanger the public and invite chaos like portland and seattle. it follows austin city council's to cut $150 million from its po texas to do so.

jeopardy is finally returning after a coronavirus break with a new set-up including all-time great didn' contestant ken jenns categories. >> we have made some changes and i think you are going to like them. don't worry, i will still be the host. jillian: no changes to the host but a redesigned set will allow alex trebek and contestants to social distance. the show's 37th season kicks off september 14th. steve: as i remember, on the jeopardy set they already had those partitions so that somebody coul couldn't look over their shoulders. pete: i feel like they were already 6 feet apart. steve: you never know. [jeopardy music] steve: sorry, pete. that was not in the form of a question. pete: what is known as the teleprompter. new york mayor bill de blasio lashing out at president trump over potential funding cuts to

>> there have you got new york city current mayor bill de blasio lashing out after president trump threatened to cut federal funds to force cities that the president has said have committed violence. here is attorney general matt whitaker. good morning to you. >> hey, good morning, steve. steve: the administration said something to the omb to try to figure out these so-called anarchist jurisdictions that are allowing lawlessness in the streets. and, in fact, you know, if you noticed the president's rhetoric the last couple of days he made it clear he is not talking about peaceful protesters. he's talking about places where there are domestic terrorists. >> yeah, and we need to remember that the federal government through department of justice grants gives a lot of money to state and local law enforcement and state and local governments to supplement their law enforcement and to make sure that they are protecting their people and in these four cities that the president identified, i think he is very concerned about

how that money is being deployed and he has asked for a review of that. it's very straightforward and very legitimate request to make sure that our taxpayer dollars are being used appropriately. steve: you know, i don't get it. when you think about it, the eye ron any is these cities would like to cut the funding to police and essentially that's what president trump would be doing as well. >> you are right. and i think it was a little concerning that mayor de blasio admitted that really the only way new york city survives is through federal government money. that is not supposed to be the way it works. they should be able to support themselves and have federal stacks pairs supplement as necessary their budget. but it shouldn't be dependent on it. the next thing bill de blasio is going to threaten to send a strongly worded letter to the president. steve: you are right. they did send a strongly worded letter for the democratic mayors. it said. this. instead of leadership from the

white house, we are faced with new attacks that are unlawful, unconstitutional and will undoubtedly be defeated in court. president trump needs to wake up to the reality facing our cities, he is not above the law. you know, i was hearing a legal analyst, although here i am talking to the former acting attorney general of the united states. he was on the radio talking about how the president does have the power. but it's got to be authorized by congress. and that ain't happening any time soon. >> well, and the thing that i know this is very similar to what we were doing while i was there on sanctuary cities. we have had some success in that regard. i think the federal government's case is stronger than the mayor of new york city wants to admit. steve: i'm sure you are sitting out in iowa right now. i'm sure you were watching a little bit ago where we were playing the vape of nancy pelosi where she was going through the salon with no mask on. the president, you know, he made hey with that yesterday. now there are two republican

house members gary palmer of alabama and mike johnson of louisiana, they have apparently written a letter to bill barr, the current attorney general asking did nancy pelosi violate federal law when at the state of the union in february she did this: she ripped her copy of the state of the union address in half. apparently the question is did she violate federal law, which carries a penalty between a fine or three years in prison? >> well, i think we can see that through what nancy pelosi does is she thinks the rules apply to everyone but herself, including both the federal archives act, the local ordinances in san francisco. and while i don't expect nancy pelosi to ultimately be prosecuted for violating federal law, i think that was a destruction of a federal document and she probably did technically violate the law that those congressman allege. steve: it wasn't a document.

it was a manifesto, according to her. >> that's right. it was a great state of the union speech as i remember. steve: apparently you liked it, and she did not. matt whitaker former acting u.s. attorney general for the united states of america, sir, it was a pleasure having you on our friday telecast. have. >> a great weekend. steve: you as well. straight ahead big ten parents and players outraged after football is definitely postponed over covid. next guest's son organized the demonstration calling to free the big ten. that discussion with him coming up next. ♪ it's you and me, baby ♪ head games ♪ i can't take it anymore ♪ head games ♪ i don't want to play those head games ♪ up at 2:00am again?

pete: families of big ten players after the league postponed the season due to covid-19. our next guest organized a demonstration out the big ten headquarters. here with updated randy wade whose son sean wade is a star quarterback for the buckeyes. a couple weeks ago you led a protest in front of the big ten headquarters saying you don't have a plan. have you postponed this other conferences are open. what have you seen transpire in the last couple weeks?

do you have any hope we will see big ten football? >> i think -- rumors that the big ten president and chancellors will be voting today. wanted the chance to play football safely this fall. pete: so there was a vote previously that was mired in controversy because there wasn't much transparency about it. you are saying they are going to vote today. rumors it could be october. rumors it could be thanksgiving. my guess you want it as soon as possible, especially in light of the fact that some of the other big five conferences are playing. >> you know, we don't want to be handicapped. we want a chance for our kids not just ohio kids in the big ten to play for the championship. you know, to have a chance to play for the championship. we think that's a big deal. we don't know what happened and whether they voted or didn't vote in the past. you know, that's why we asked for transparency. but now we are hearing -- just

pray and can't wait to seat outcome. pete: nothing worse on the sidelines than when your competitors are out there competing. how is your son doing? how is he feeling about the ambiguity of this. >> he is at home right now. like i said, we are waiting for the results. hopefully can he fly back to ohio. he understands now because so much time has went by, you know, the decision they made and why they made it and stuff like that. but we just want an opportunity to -- kids have been fighting for this opportunity since they were young. he you can't change time. we would like to play the season. pete: compared to you and i they still are young. these are young, healthy kids who want to get -- not kids, men who want to get out there and play. ultimately couldn't they make the choice if you are not comfortable, you don't have to play. >> and they definitely have that choice. kids opting out every day, you know, weekly. so, the kids that don't want to play, they have a choice. but, you know, again some kids, young men that would like to play. and like i said, you can't

change time and benefits him in so many different ways. this is the reason they came to some these schools they came to in the big ten to great great academics and play football. i hope they change. pete: your son is considered one of the top defensive back prospects for 2021 draft. delay in the season or no season at all, what would it do to that? >> delaying the season, that's why he is at home now and everybody else is at school. delaying the season is he not playing. it's not beneficial to him. the schedule if they are postponing and talking about playing later in the spring or january and stuff like that, just won't fit for him getting ready for the draft. will moving back the combine and the draft he has to get ready for that he has already decided if they can't do anything this october, he is not going to play. pete: there you go, the more you delay the more complicated it gets. randy wade, keep us posted. thank you for your time.

>> you got it. pete: coming un, president trump vowing to buck cancel culture as our first president george washington becomes the latest target. will case number kaine, our bud i don't know 00 weekends on deck. plus, it is kentucky derby weekend. the king of horse races is back just a few changes this year. ashley strohmier is at churchill downs. her report is coming up next. ♪ get your game on. ♪ gives us the dual action effect that really takes care

[laughter]

ashley strohmier joins us from churchill downsz with the big changes this year. ashley, you are alone right now. there are a few trainers, a few horses, a few riders, where are the people? >> they are at home and apparently that is where they are going to stay. the hash tag is ky derby at home. a little more fun. it's still going on that's is the good thing. i have changes my big hat this is fry frank hole also a hat made in brooklyn, new york thank you to for that. it will look a lot different as you said. there is not going to be any spectators in the stands. now they kind of wrangled that back. originally they were going to have fans that obviously much lower capacity but they came back and said you know what? just due to covid,it is not safe for the spectators. the race, the first race at least is at 11:00 a.m. today. as i said, they were going to have spectators. for now they will have to stay

at home and watch from the comfort of their own home. here is a list of who is allowed. there is only 8 owners per horse that are allowed. jockeys, trainers, barn personnel and of course racing officials. pete, jed, steve, i don't know if you guys are betting men or betting lady but if you stick around for the next -- coming up here in just a little bit. i will be talking to the guys who actually won-out trainer who won oaks last year. is he a recently interesting guy. >> typically this time of year everybody is in a great, you know, just a high spirit. it's just not there this year. it's a week that everybody looks so forward to and especially right now with everybody locked up, basically and not being able to get out. it's even more important this week to offer the flavor that you are somewhat used. to say that's just not happening. and it's nobody's faulted. it's just the way it is. it's what we have to do to be

safe. >> and that is kind of the realm of everything at churchill downs right now trying to be safe. obviously that was a restaurant owner kevin grangeer that we spoke to yesterday. they have a cap on the restaurants and bars like closing at 10:00 p.m. if you ever been at kentucky derby and having 10 people at a table and closing the bars and restaurants at 10:00 p.m. not going to be a good money driver for them. trying to work and do as much as they can to make it work and be as fun as it could be. steve: i read in the louisville paper this morning, ashley, that apparently at a lot of places where people are allowed to go, they are wearing kentucky derby themed masks when required by the locality. pete: i didn't know there were 8 owners per horse. who knew. steve: thank you very much. jedediah: thank you, ashley. appreciate it. we are now going to bring in will cain our "fox & friends weekend" co-host. will, welcome. great to have you here.

so much to touch on with you today. we want to start with the derby. the derby without in person fans, what do you think? will: you know, jed, good morning by the way jed, pete, steve. i believe the watching experience is going to be better than you might expect. i have been a little bit surprised the way sports has been able to survive in this pandemic world. whether or not it's been basketball or any of the other sports, virtual fans pumping in crowd noise. as a television viewing experience the lack of fans has been the least of sports' problems. we will see how that works in a bigger venue meaning football and things like the derby. i'm talking just as a television viewing experience it's not been bad. can i say one more thing on the note of sports? i just saw your interview with randy wade, i just wanted to say this his son sean is phenomenal he will be a top five pick in the nfl draft. his career will be fine whether or not they play at ohio state this year or not. what i find fascinating about that interview, pete, is that

there is this idea that college sports is exploitative. that all these guys just want to get to the pros and they got to get off the awful college sports environment. these guys are trying their hardest to get back on the field. regardless whether or not they get played they want to play. i think this pandemic has revealed the value of college sports. pete: i think you are right. absolutely. you say sports will survive either way. the question is will george washington? because the mayor of washington, d.c. has talked about a review of monuments there in the city and it runs against the federal monuments but even the conversation should we cancel george washington? well, the president weighed in on it yesterday, will, listen. >> they want all of the name washington removed from everything. [boos] i haven't been keeping up with it, what did he do? george washington, they want his name off everything. but we will keep it.

i promise you this. [cheers] as long as you have cancel culture, you better have a strong president. cancel culture. george washington. can you believe it. steve: what do you make of that clearly cancel culture, will, is one of the hot topics that people will be considering as they think who you are going to pull a lever for if you still pull a lever on november the 3rd? >> yeah, steve, it's real and it's absurd. i keep asking myself what is this about? what is this about? george washington? and i come back to this, steve, this is about power and ultimately it's about destruction. there was a story yesterday and you may have talked about it on "fox & friends" where usc business professor has been put on leave because he was teaching a course in foreign language and he was talking about chinese words. one of which ended up sounding like a racial slur. wasn't a racial slur. isn't a racial slur but sounded somewhat similar to racial slur.

for that some students were purportedly offended and he has been put on leave. no one is honestly offended by that steve. no one was truly to their core offended. what they have realized is the power of offense is power. and they are grabbing more and more of it. and it's the power of destruction ultimately. we will destroy history books, monuments, businesses in the streets. we will destroy your career if need be, to commandeer a little more power. that power only manifests in destruction. steve: you know, just following up on that a little bit, will, there is a story this morning i want to say out of the carolinas a guy working at that time food line grocery store he had an american flag gator as his face mask and somebody complained about it the boss said you can't wear that sort of thing at food line he said look, i'm a vet. i think he is 69-year-old vet. everybody in my family is military. i'm going to have to quit if

that's going to be the rule. because i cannot stand for that food line said you can't wear a red, white, and blue flag to work and so he said i don't need this job. will: hey, steve, here is the two important things to think about that. do you think that customer walking through the line was truly offended? no, what they realized they had the power to dictate and destroy. the second point is just as important. corporations have shown such weakness in the face of this destruction. stand up. measure what is objectively offensive. do what's right, tell the truth. don't just keep giving in. because if the power of destruction dick tatsz our future it, will keep grabbing and destroying more and more. pete: well said. jedediah: you know, guys, we have been having a lot of conversations recently about school reopenings and what those protocols look like. i'm very passionate about that topic. i wanted to take the field and take a look inside a school and say did it make me comfortable and were they prepared.

[boos] >> well, the president has made

great strides with this, with this, you know, law and order strides here. boy, after his convention, he really -- we really made inroads. he hasn't. not at all. no, i'm not serious -- i'm sorrious. this should give you a little bit of confidence in the american people. jedediah: very different approach. your thoughts, congressman? >> that was a little odd this morning to listen to former vice president biden is he whispering through that mask? i can't really tell. i am glad to be with you this morning. i don't have a view of the statue of liberty or of cranes but i do have a great view of my living room out here in california early in the morning. it's great to be with you. look. it was nice to see biden get out of his basement finally if you go back the president has been speaking specifically about law and order.

i would call back to july 3rd the media tried to ignore. this this was when we were in the midst of rioting, looting, burning, remember when we had a new country that was developed in the middle of seattle, the portland rioting was just starting, they were tearing down statues all over this country. the president went to mount rushmore and said this is not the america -- i'm paraphrasing. this is not the america we need to live in and called for the democrats to come out and say this is wrong. and if you noticed how do the democrats respond to the antifa. you never hear them say anything about antifa, it's a conspiracy theory. it doesn't exist. look, finally, one of these guys went and shot a trump supporter iit was bound to happen. murdered him in cold blood. other people involved in that luckily law enforcement ran into and able to kill that antifa member. hopefully more of these people

will be brought to justice can i tell you biden is out of the basement even if he is whispering. pete: he makes best points when his back is to the camera. odd tick. you are a lawmaker. your job is to craft laws in the nation. we have seen municipalities go above and divlawnd with shut downs and masks. one of your fellow lawmaker likes to actually not follow the laws that she tells everyone else to follow or wear of the mask that she tells everyone else to wear and was caught on videotape. snopes says it was a set up they're owner was out to get her from the beginning. president trump had a chance to weigh in on this as well. here's what he said. >> i watched nancy pelosi, you must wear your mask. you have to wear your mask why are going to keep every salon

owner closed all over the country. i see a picture i say nancy pelosi, well, where is her mask? she said i was set up, i was set up. if she was set up, then she shouldn't be leading the house of representatives. i want the salon owner to lead the house of representatives. as soon as i heard she said well, she set me up. nancy, you are not supposed to get set up. you are representing our country. she should have said i made a mistake. sorry. pete: congressman, it was a setup or is it all part of a sham that ultimately she knows maybe she should be able to make decisions for herself. we should respect people enough to do that, yet, she virtue signals to everybody else keep your mask on, keep your businesses closed but deep down like everybody else, she knows we are free people that should be able to make choices instead she is just a hypocrite. >> so this is a real scandal. this is what i would call salon gate. [laughter]

if you have noticed, if you go back for only six months, you know, i have been with her a few times. her hair is perfect. so, i'm not exactly sure how she was getting her hair done but for sure she was getting her hair done. let me take people back to when president trump made the very difficult decision to ban air flights coming in from china, the speaker of the house was very critical. they went out and said that he was racist. that he was against asian people, you know, a common theme, but also remember, she went down to chinatown after that and said everybody come out. everybody come out, come down. no mask, no social distancing. that was the beginning of salon gate. also, you have to remember. there was no mask. she would wear these designer phony masks. i always tell people if you are going to wear a mask. you need to wear an n-59 mask. just wearing a cloth like you are a cowboy or something or some kind of -- it may look look

nice or you may think it looks nice, but it doesn't do anything. it's not like wearing an n-95 mask would do. i don't know how she was getting her hair done all these months but finally i think a salon owner said look, i have had enough of it. we need a real investigation. and, you know, pete, i'm sure can you call your friend robert mueller, i hear that he is looking for work now. he runs great investigations, i hear. steve: so you are suggesting that she has been breaking the rules for the last six months but just got caught on monday, right? >> it has to be, steve. there is no other possibility, i mean her hair is perfect. look, she is a nice-looking lady her hair is perfect. buff how has she been getting her hair done? i know i had to go like two months without getting my hair done and eventually everybody had to start doing these black market haircuts, you know, where had you to sneak around or cut your hair yourself. steve: right. >> i don't know how she got her hair cut. steve: well, i was watching youtube videos.

i cut my own hair with a $12 pair of scissors from amazon and i look great in the front. the back was a little scary. congressman, i have to ask you are out in california, one of the big california firms is facebook. they have taken a lot of heat as because of disinformation. people critics say from the 2016 election and so they have made some changes and starting this year, coming up, one week before the election, facebook will prohibit new political ads from running. they are already running them, they will be able to continue them the suggestion is when there is disinformation running rampant, they will depend on content moderation teams to decide, you know, whether or not they should label it. now, whose side do you think these content moderation teams are going to be on? would they be on joe biden's side? would they be on donald trump's side?

or would they be right down the middle? >> well, look, this is a very serious issue. and this is why i wrote the book that i wrote is to make sure that people understand this. it's not just that the media is so biased. it's also now it's the social media companies that control how we receive our information. and i have been saying this for a while, that the social media companies, these tech oligarchs, they really are. these are multi, multibillionaires that are either left wing or they are run by left wing activists. but, for sure, all the new woke people, they are the ones that are going to be these content moderators. this is, once again, censorship because sometimes the only way we can get our message across as republicans is by buying our way on. we have to pay to get our advertising on to facebook. i can tell you if you put something on facebook that the facebook moderators don't like, it gets taken down. steve: yeah. >> from all these social media companies. so republican content will be taken down in the last seven

days what they will call disinformation. but truly what they're providing is a disinformation funnel flow right to our phones. and it really is going to help sway the election. they are doing everything that they possibly can. and i believe that the rnc or the trump campaign should bring a lawsuit against facebook because going to put us at tremendous disadvantage, i believe. steve: sounds like the doj is going to go after google. maybe they will go after facebook as well. congressman, thank you very much for joining us from your location. have a good weekend. >> thanks, guys. have a good labor day weekend. pete: there is the book. count down to socialism, 3, 2, 1. bing. pete: president trump on other news denies a report claiming he called fallen u.s. members losers and suckers. receive steve the president last night called it a disgraceful situation and said anybody who said that would ablow life or a liar. jedediah: griff jenkins is live

outside the white house with more on the president's responds. griff? griff: yeah, jed, pete, steve, good morning to you. the white house dealing with this damning article. a report in the atlantic disparaging service members who have been killed or wounded or captured in and last night after the president's rally in latrobe, pennsylvania in the dark of night these things happen quickly the president did respond strongly to the allegations made. here is a little bit of what the president said in his defense. watch. >> to think that i would make statements, negative to our military and our fallen heroes when nobody has done what i have done, they made it up. griff: now, in the report, the atlantic claims these comments were made in 2018 after talking to aids after scrap ago visit to a cemetery that was going to honor the war dead. let me show you the quote. here's the quote. the atlantic says in a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled trip trump said,

quote, why should i go to that cemetery? it's filled with losers. and in a separate conversation on the same trip trump referred to the more than 1800 marines who lost their lives at belleau wood as suckers for getting killed. harsh stuff. obviously having spent a lot of the time with marines in come bat, this is getting a lot of attention on twitter. we will find out if the president has more to say. he has not very many events on the schedule. he does meet with the president of serbia and prime minister of kosovo for signing before noon maybe comments then. we should point out the president defended the scrapping of that visit cemetery saying that the conditions were not able to fly. so, more to come. we will find out. the sources by the way for the article were anonymous. steve, jed, steve? steve: funny how that always works that way. pete: always anonymous sources. this happened supposedly two years ago now we are finding out about it 60 days before the election? and by the way the trump campaign got scores of people on the record who are also there

saying that's of course not at all what we heard or saw. steve: we are going to have more on that in the morning. meanwhile what else is coming up. pete: we have fox news strategic analyst four star general jack keane coming up next and he will talk about that. medicine. ♪ ♪

pete pete president trump adamantly denying a report that he fallen shorted blatzing the story for unnamed sources. here to react retired four star general jack keane. general, thank you for being here this morning. appreciate it. this story in the atlantic cat nip for haters of the president. anonymously sourced saying two years ago when he was in france and possibly going to a u.s.

cemetery there he said why we want to to visit these losers and suckers? you spent a lot of time with the president. what do you make of this attempted to frame him this way? >> certainly i was not present when these comments were made so i can't comment on the veracity of them this much i can say. i have in a anybody of interactions with the president on foreign policy and national security. and while we did not always agree that was the reason for the discussion. the use of military force was the reason for those discussions, steve. apete. as a result of that i came away from the discussions with the president displaying respect for the military and frankly a degree of reverence for the military which have always been consistent with his public comments. and i, like comments already made here, these are anonymous sources. i'm just another american

reading newspapers and articles like everyone else, i have become suspicious of anonymous sources. and i find it odd that comments made a number of years ago are now collected up 60 days pressure to an election and given for consumption. if they would have been leaked, you think they would have been leaked at the time. have you got to bring into question the credibility of the story itself. pete: and the motivations, of course. here is judd deere deputy assistant to president trump had this reaction he said not a soul brave enough to put their name on any of these accusations that's because they are false. just another anonymously sourced story meant to tear down our commander-in-chief who loves our military and has delivered on the promises he's made. what a disgrace. people know you have been party to intense conversations with the president it doesn't surprise you that his critics may attempt to even make something up like this to try to

muddy the waters? >> no. it's part and parcel of what we have been observing for a number of years now in that sense i have never seen a president attacked as much as this one has been over a number of issues and many cases it is very inflammatory like this one is. i mean, i was very critical of the previous president on foreign policy and national security and i have been with president trump at times. though largely i agree with the direction he is moving in. but, that's quite different than what is being done here. pete: absolutely. general, on to another topic in the world health organization. the trump administration says they will now formally move forward with drawing. here is a tweet from secretary of state mike pompeo about it. the who failed to adopt urgently needed reforms starting with demonstrating its independence from the chinese communist party. we have made almost a billion dollars in investment in the who

in the fiscal year 2018 through 2019. your reaction to us saying hey, if you are going to be one-sided here, as a global body, we are out. is that the right move? >> you know, i mean, i absolutely believe it is. listen, the who is complicit in helping the narrative of the chinese communist party that there was no human-to-human transfers. when the chinese knew that and the tijuana government had informed the w.h.o. of that. despite the president of the w.h.o.'s visit to china, he never pressed to talk to the scientist in wuhan city. he came out of there and said no human-to-human transfer. and then when president trump had notified the world that they were not going to accept any flights from china because, obviously, human-to-human transfer was taking place and the chinese were already protecting the rest of china with no flights coming out of

wuhan and ew you hubei province. the criticized saying that was overreaction and flights should be permitted to go from china around the world. again that is complicit not only in a false narrative now complicit in spreading the pandemic. yes, they have lost credibility, pete, as an independent organization. pull out of it and stop our funding of it is the right call. pete: general, real quick, should this extend to our support of the united nations which feels like it's often complicit with an anti american, anti-israeli bias? >> well, the united nations and other world organization founded after world war ii to help establish a different international order to prevent a world war iii. the fact that the nations of the world come together and the fact that there is an anti american undercurrent in the u.n., in my mind, is not enough justification to pull out of it. though it is very frustrating at

times to witness some of their observations and their viewpoints. it is still healthy for the world organization to come together, most nations in the world are there and arm wrestle over what's going on in the world today. i think we stay in it. and we fight for what is right. pete: all right. one of the countries that often has a veto in the security council of the united nations is china. the pentagon came out with a report recently about their military capability, specifically their navy that i have got to get your comment on, general. here is part of what it has to say. china has the largest navy in the world with an overall battle force of approximately 350 ships and submarines. includes military comprehensive program that aids to transform it into a world class military by the end of 2024. general, with china spending a ton of money to modernize their military and us doing, you know, the president has spent more than his predecessors but still continuing resolutions, capitol hill can't get out of their way. do we face a future challenge

from a chinese military? >> we face a challenge right now with the chinese military if we had to confront them. and we will face one in the future. but, what's really happening here is they are the most rapid growing military in the world. they have the largest navy, army, coast guard and rocket and missile forces in the world. while they don't have the largest air force, they have the largest air force in that region of the world. and they want to have the number one military in the world. they want to dominate and control and influence the world the way the united states has been a global leader for years and replace the international order as we know it. and they are going to use economic and military peter to dspoirtd to do it. superiority to do it. we have more aircraft carriers than they have 11 to 2. more submarines state of the art than the chinese have many of theirs are still diesel.

they have a lot of outdaytonned equipment. we have an all volunteer force that is regarded by the world at large and each one of our services army, navy, air force and marines as the best in class. and battle tested, chinese are conscripted and never been in a fight except for firmishes. the collection of countries together that stood up to the soviet union and their ideology is what is needed now. and this president and secretary pompeo is also leading an effort to build a broad coalition of countries to stand up to this military and economic advance of the chinese agetting and maligned behavior in the world. it is the right approach and eventually i think a grand strategy will fall out of that we have been successful at stopping this kind of aggression and maligned behavior in the past. i think we can in the future. steve: let's hope and pray you are correct, sir. general jack keane thank you very much. appreciate it?

>> yeah. good talking to you, pete. pete: great talking to you. we will have secretary of state mike pompeo joining us next hour to talk even more on these issues. all right, tradition returns to churchill downs tomorrow on a much different topic with one major thing missing. well, that would be the fans. we are getting a preview of the kentucky derby and champion horse trainer live. ♪ ♪

and said you know what, because of covid, we are not going to have spectators here. somebody i do have here is the winner of the trainers of the 145th oaks, this is tom amos. thank you so much for being here with us. i want to get right down to it. serengeti impress that was the horse that won oaks last year. tell us about the feeling that you had when she won. >> well, the derby every year has over 100,000 people attending. and in a big race like that the kentucky oaks everyone is out on the balcony watching the race. for her to win to look up in the stands and see all the fans cheering just for her for a trainer that's so special. i mean, we breed horses and we have 30,000 born each year and only two get to have that moment in that winner's circle in the infield where they get to crowd. one for the derby and one for the oaks. it's very special.

>> and then, of course, that is most likely, i don't want to say this, you know, i don't know for sure but more than likely that will be taken away from those winners because they are going to be empty stands. >> right. it's a different year 2020 for many reasons. obviously all related to covid. it won't be the fans in the in e stands this time around the quekdzs of the jockey and winner ever the ken oaks, they are robbed of that emotion afterwards where the fans are cheering just for them as well as the walk-over that's big in our industry to walk over and go through the crowd with your horse right here on the racetrack behind us and the crowd participating with those horses walking over that's gone. >> will that effect the jockeys and horses not having those cheering fans out there. >> that's a great question, ashley. it will. not having those fans out there will keep them relaxed so important for any athlete equine athletes to be calm and cool in

a sense it's a help. >> do you have any bets? who are your favorites. >> kentucky derby like -- to lose. tis the law's race on saturday. >> there have you it. virtual betting. there have you it jed, steve, pete? jedediah: thanks so much ashley and tom. we're looking forward to it. different format but still going to be fun. a battle is brewing on the campaign trail. joe biden is on the ground in wisconsin. president trump is talking to voters in pennsylvania. lara trump is here to break down where the race stands and she is coming up next. ♪ i love my country ♪ ♪ we like how it sounds ♪ ♪ from prom dresses...

, yeah, it was 674 days since joe biden was last in wisconsin. i think what we are very clearly seeing here this is a game we all learned in kindergarten follow the leader. joe biden only went to wisconsin because donald trump went there he remembered two weeks ago told us he could do the entire campaign from his basement then all of a sudden he is out on the campaign trail. interesting how that has worked out. the reason he didn't go to those areas because those are joe biden supporters that absolutely disseminated parts of a great american city and he doesn't want to be standing in front of the destruction joe biden supporters caused. the president went to kenosha where they allowed him to bring in the national guard. to bring in federal support and quell the violence overnight things are back to normal and very peaceful there now. joe biden it took three months to condemn any of the violence and any of the terrible things we have seen in the streets of america in these democrat-run cities. but he doesn't want to stand in front of that we all know that.

jedediah: lara, another topic that we want to get to that's been controversial is mail-in voting. you know have pennsylvania democrats coming out and saying they are very worried about it. we have a quote from the philadelphia city commissioner lisa daily. this is quote to politico. it reads even with all of that equipment with 400,000 ballots that we expect to receive, it's physically impossible that they will all be opened and scanned before the polls close on election day. the new reality is winners and losers are not going to be known at the end of the night. of course they are trying to avoid what happened in the june primary where it took about two weeks to count all of those votes. so what do you think of all of this? and what do you think of that statement? >> well, i think people are right to be absolutely terrified of this universal vote by mail situation. the reality is absentee voting has always worked. you have to request a ballot. you have to sign your name. you have to certify that you are actually the person, indeed, that has filled out that ballot. what the democrats proposed about 90 days before a

presidential congressional senate election is to just mail out into the universe millions and millions of ballots. you have no idea who received these things. we have seen instances where there are cats that have been dead for 12 years receiving ballots in the mail. we have seen how it hasn't worked where it's already been tried in certain areas around the country, new jersey, new york, it doesn't work and what you have right now is the democrats are setting us up so that when donald trump wins on november 3rd, they can quickly say oh, wait, what about all of these mail-in ballots that we have here? let's not forget to count these. it is right for voter fraud. no one knows who has voted vote multiple times vote by mail and go into a voting location and vote as well. donald trump has been calling this out from day one. this is not the way it should function in the united states of america. but democrats know the only way that their chosen candidate, joe biden can win is to cheat. so that is why we see this happening right now and that's why people should be very, very

worried and i'm glad to see a lot of push back on this. steve: lara, speaking of, you know, voting by mail and things like that. the other day when you were in, i believe, north carolina with your father-in-law, it sounded like he was telling people to vote twice. he said you know, go ahead and vote by mail and then on election day go in and see if your vote counted and if it didn't you should try to -- you is you had vote. that's your right. we know you cannot vote twice in the same election. that is voter fraud. he has since been trying to clarify that you were there. what was he saying? >> yeah. well, of course he wasn't suggesting that people vote twice. there is only one party that's been kind of suggesting that or actually doing things like that it's not the republican party. what he is saying you should make sure if you mail in a ballot whether it's absentee or otherwise that it is actually counted. this is exactly the problem i just outlined. there is no way really to trace a lot of these ballots and as

americans we all get one vote we should know that vote counted. he is saying follow through. make sure your vote was counted and if, in fact, it was not. make sure they count it whether they say here's the personal i voted for and make sure i'm marked down or did you go in and you do it again because they somehow lost your ballot. we all should be assured as americans that our vogt is counted and that it's for the candidate of our choice. that we voted for. that was all he was saying. i think we all know that. pete: that's the scary part about mail-out ballots you don't know the chain of custody and i know multiple people who have received multiple different ballots already of people that don't live there anymore under multiple names for them. steve: you are trusting the post office. pete: trusting the post office which has endorsed joe biden. lara, you are featured in a new documentary called the trump i know. you would know the president. talk to us about this. >> yeah, well, look, you are guys know there is 92% negative media coverage of this president. the media loves to cover trump

in one specific way. not the way that people actually know him see him and know him to be. know his character to be. so this is an incredible documentary. i was honored to be part of it. it features women in the trump campaign, the trump administration and the trump family talking about the donald trump that we know. it's called the trump i know is out on october 1st. i think it's really important. as we are heading towards an election where the democrats have made it, you know, so much about the character of the president, everyone should see this to see the man that we know and the truth about donald trump. it i was really excited and honored to be a part of this. jedediah: thanks so much lara for being here. we appreciate it. pete: thank you, lara. >> thanks, guys. jedediah: we will head over to janice dean for weather updates. hey, janice. janice: good morning, happy friday. we are watching the tropics even though this weekend is quiet, quite a rarity as we go into labor day watching three potential storms and all of

they are on defense against these alleged disparaging remarks made in 2018 trip near paris where the president canceled a trip because of bad weather and bad visibility apparently and where he made remark. let me give you the quote that everybody was talking about. in a conversation with senior staff members in schedule visit, why should i go to the cemetery, it's filled with losers and they write in a separate conversation on the same trip, trump preferred to more than 1800 marines who lost their life at billo wwood and after president's rally he was pushing back, listen. >> to think i would make statements negative to our military and fallen heros when nobody has done what i've done, they made it up. griff: now this is significant, the trip was significant bus

bellowwood is part of marine history. on the trip john kelly along with general dunford both marines but the article sourced by anonymous sources and retired general jack keane, fox news contributor had this to say in the last hour. jack: i've become suspicious of a anonymous sources and i find it odd that comments made a number of years ago are now collected up 60 days prior to an election and thrown out for the american people's consumption. given inflammatory nature of it, if they were going to be leaked, you think they would have been leaked at the time. i think you have to bring into question the credibility of the story itself. griff: so to be clear, very damming words alleged to be made and no one in the conversation went on the record, however, this morning you see sarah sanders who is tweeting that the article is, quote, total bs, i was actually there and one of the people, part to have

discussion, this never happened, although it is already picking up on the campaign trail. dnc putting out a statement this morning saying the president has no honor and no shame. we will find out, guys, if the president has more to say about it. he has the photo-op coming up here with prime minister a little bit before noon. one thing is far from over and the president says it didn't happen and a lot of people talking about it on social media particularly military members who are offended that let alone the president would make these remarks. steve: the president said last night i would be willing to swear that i never, ever said that. let's bring in the secretary of state of the united states of america mike pompeo joins us from the state department, mr. secretary, good morning to you. secretary: steve, good morning, paula dean and kane brown. steve: we heard jack keane referring to this story that the president says is not true.

he never said it. and one of jack's -- the general's observation is that isn't it unusual that they would sit on the story which is composed of a number of anonymous sources, sit on it for a couple of years, essentially 60 days before the election for maximum pain. secretary: yeah, steve, i haven't read the whole piece. if i'm tracking correctly, i think i was on the trip as well. but what i can say for sure i've never heard -- i've been with the president 4 years and i have never heard the president using language about him calling military suckers and losers. he's had the deepest respect. i'm a veteran too and i care deeply about these young men and women. i've watched the president honor them in every situation that i've been with him as well. steve: if you were on the trip, why did he not make the visit to the cemetery because at the time

we heard that it was the weather, the choppers wouldn't fly, the secret service wouldn't drive him, the president says that this conversation never happened, so you were there, why didn't he go to the cemetery? secretary: steve, i don't know precisely what the discussion-making was inside. i do remember whether they could fly out or not. you have to ask somebody involved in decision-make progresses, i simply wasn't. i was with him for a god part of the trip and never heard him say words described in the article, i never saw. >> secretary, another topic we are looking at is china. the president is in on campaign trail in pennsylvania and while there he talked about china as it relates to covid-19 and talked about a biden administration would mean with respect to relationship with china. let's take a listen to what he said and we will get your reaction. >> never has anybody ripped off our nation like china.

we never took in tencents from china and i gave 28 billion, 28 billion to the farmers because they were targeted unfairly. we are reversing decades of the biden betrayals that decimated pennsylvania jobs, you know that. this state lost -- listen to this, 1 and 3 manufacturing jobs after the twin disasters of nafta and china's entrance into the world trade organization. joe biden's agenda is made in china, my agenda is made in america. [cheers and applause] >> we are finally rebuilding our country, it's called america first. >> your thoughts, secretary? secretary: when this administration came in to being in 2017, the previous decade allowed communist chinese party to walk all over us and destroying millions of jobs here in the united states and costing us a fortune. president trump reversed that and so in every dimension

whether it's economic matters that the president was speaking about, whether it's our capacity to defend america against the chinese military threat or our efforts just to make sure that american citizens are treated appropriately by the chinese communist party, this president has taken the responsibility seriously and the xi's authoritarian regime knows that we have president prepared that america is treated fairly and protecting our national security. pete: mr. secretary, the president arrived on scene to challenge conventional thinking and china being one of them in the way he stood up and said they've taken advantage of us and another across the pond in europe on the way he looks at nato, collective defense after world war ii but ultimately a lot of people feel like the european countries have outsourced their security to the united states and the president has called them out. now there's a new york times headline of our allies and former u.s. officials saying they fear the president could seek nato exit in a second term.

were the president to get a second term, what's the stance on future of nato, is it worth american involvement altogether? secretary: i've been involved in nearly all of the discussions about nato and u.s.' role, the president said, look, you can't free ride. you have a responsibility to participate, frankly, to honor the promise that is the european countries all made that they've spend at least 2% of their gdp on their own security and he's demanded. the good news is he's been successful. i think general secretary leader of nato said there's $400 billion more that will be invested into nato. it's a direct result of president trump's leadership. nato is stronger under president trump than it has been in previous administrations. i'm proud of the work we've done there. i'm proud of the work we've done the threat that emanate that nato has responsibility for and i'm confident that the president trump team will continue to

strengthen for the american people. steve: mr. secretary, before you were secretary of state you were congressman from the great state of kansas. you know how elections work and you know exactly how everybody who is up for reelection feels right now. do you share the president's worries about mail-in voting because when you were running, you know, out of wichita, kansas, i'm sure there were a number of people in far-flung parts of the state who were voting in that particular election, probably did absentee or mail-in voting, did you have problems back then? secretary: i think i voted absentee a couple of times, steve. the big worry, it's just a matter of logic. it's a little bit out of my lane as secretary of state. it's a matter of logic and the states changed the rule. and in this election we expect enormous turnout and just mail ballots to people who are on mailing list on voting roles, there's real risk and the american people deserve to have

an election that they have confidence in and i want to make sure that every secretary of state and every election process and person knows what they are doing have been doing to execute appropriately. what we want and what the attorney general and all of our team want are making sure that this election is free and fair and that every ballot is counted appropriately. >> you know, mr. secretary, you pennsylvania, concerns where ballots took two weeks to count, even with all of that equipment with nearly 400,000 ballots that we expect to receive, it's physically impossible that they would all be opened and scanned before the polls close on election day. the reality is winners and losers will not be known at the end of the night. this is not just a concern brought by republicans but both sides of the aisle, does that

change the conversation? secretary: it's really important that we get this right. i've seen this all across the world. the state department tries to make sure that other nations have free and fair elections. we have to make sure that ours is done well and technically right and if they choose to go in person, they vote the day before the election at polling place designated by their state, they need to make sure that their vote is counted. i hope that we get this right. it is essential for american democracy that we conduct this election with not only leads the outcome that people determine through their votes but perceived as such by them as well. when i hear concerns expressed in states it causes me great consternation as well. i hope that we can pull that off. i think that we can. america always has. pete: mr. secretary, real quick, back into the lane, the pentagon warning that the chinese have the largest navy, are you

concerned about how quickly china is developing its military capabilities? secretary: absolutely. it's been going on for a long time. it's accelerated. the god news is president trump has made sure that we have the capabilities that we need, whether it's the designation of the states force, we have the capacity to compete there and the work that we are doing to make it more difficult for china to use hauwei and its technology to post threats to us as well, they are connected in civil and military efforts or simply the fact that we've now spent more than 700,000,000,002 years running to make sure that our military has the capability that it needs, do i worry about the chinese communist party increasing military capacity, i'm confident that president trump will put us in a position to make sure that we can keep america safe. steve: all right, secretary of state of the united states of america, mike pompeo from the great state of kansas. sir, thank you very much, have a great holiday weekend. secretary: you too. steve: hopefully you're able to grill a steak or two. we all hope we can grill a steak or have something delicious for

your picnic and jillian will have something tasty. jillian: i want ice cream or something. i'm in the mood for that. i can't grill that. steve: yeah, you can. jillian: just moments ago police released cleveland officer's name who was killed overnight. 25-year department veteran who was currently as detective. several shots were fired at patrol car causing it to crash. a manhunt underway for the suspect. another fox news alert, antifa supporter wanted in the death of a conservative portland protestor is shot and killed by officers, authorities say michael rinel tried running when federal task force moved no to arrest him outside of seattle. police say he ran out of an apartment when gunfire broke out, four officers fired killing

president trump slamming nancy pelosi for claiming she was set up after she was caught on camera defying lockdown orders by getting her hair done and not wearing a mask. >> she said, i was set up, i was set up by the salon, i was set up. i said tell me she didn't say that. [laughter] >> so i just put out that if she was set up, then she shouldn't be leading the house of representatives. i want the salon owner to lead the house of representatives. jillian: san francisco hair salon owner erika responding to the president's calls to lead the house of representatives in fox news exclusive interview saying, quote, i never expected all of this but the house i am focused on right now the house with two little girls under 10 with social-distance learning but i appreciate the sentiment. protestors seeing hanging blow

dryers from a tree outside of nancy pelosi's mansion in san francisco. i see you laughing. steve: all right. >> i'm going say i was set up and i have to get a pass. that's the new rule. nancy pelosi says i get a pass so it is what it is. steve: there you go. >> we are less than 60 days away from the presidential election,less than 60 days, you heard that right and one new op-ed is predicting chaos in the streets if bidden -- biden does not lead in a landslide, geraldo rivera is next.

jededia: we are back with fox news alert. 53-year-old james is a 25-year department veteran who was currently serving as a detective. pete: fox affiliate reporting several shots were fired at patrol car causing it to crash. a manhunt underway for the suspect. steve: here with reaction geraldo rivera, correspondent at large. geraldo, this breaks your heart, a guy on the force 25 years and detective and very few details at this point but nonetheless we lost another great officer overnight. >> geraldo: it's heartbreaking and cleveland is a city like many others like chicago and new york that has reached last year's annual total for homicides well over 100 murders here in cleveland. usually that takes a whole year to happen. i heard from my buddy who ran the pba steve lumus, this is what steve told me about what happened last night.

my friend was killed tonight in the line of duty, he was working under cover with a wired informant and car full of shooters got the drop on them and cleveland officer committed suicide. incredibly sad day. i wrote steve back and i was so sorry for what happened. you know, this is -- i understand the problems with police brutality and excess abuse of force and i think it's terrible, what about the cops and the force that's used against our police officer? how many have died in line of duty? i mean, we have to be balanced when we look at this horrible problem of violence in the city and surging to levels unseen and in my town and my hometown new york and cleveland among those suffering this carnage, steve.

jededia: the question is what can fix this because when you say massive numbers of police that they wouldn't want their own children to become police officers, that they are retiring because they don't feel like they have the backing of local politicians, that it's -- it's scarier -- it's similar scary to be a police officer and put that uniform every day and now it's gone above and beyond that, so what can we do to try to remedy this and let police officers feel that they have the backing and the support that they need to want to do their job and want to get out there and keep us safe every day? >> geraldo: jedediah take kenosha, for example, the president went to ravaged wisconsin town and met with law enforcement. vice president -- former vice president joe biden went to kenosha and met with the -- the victim of the police shooting, jacob blake's family and spoke

with jacob on the phone, the man who -- it was terrible what happened, shot 7 times in the back. we will see what happens. but joe biden spoke with jacob blake who got shot, he did not speak with the person, the woman who allegedly was sexual assaulted by jacob blake in may and that's why he had a warrant, jacob blake had a warrant against him. so his -- vice president biden speaking to the victim of the police shooting, what about the victim of blake, what about the woman who was allegedly sexual assaulted and a lot of other crimes committed against her and that's why there was a warrant against blake. i think it's very unbalance. we have to show compassion for the cops also. the cops are people too. they are the thin blue line that protects society and, you know, unless we deal with inner city violence, we had a situation

last weekend and had another 10 killed in chicago, in new york city 5 more including a child. until we get our head around urban violence that's real and undeniable, it absolutely frustrates the hell out of me when i see this -- trying to change the topic and make it about police and police violence when the real story is the absolute anarchy, the chaos and the violence in our inner cities. pete: think of the fact, geraldo, cops are people too. part of the reason for your frustration is you've seen a lot of this. there's a new special dropping this weekend at fox nation called i am geraldo, 50 years the warriors. here is a clip of it. >> there i was and experienced war correspondence without a war to cover the most important story of my life, so i quit. i said, if that's your decision,

then i'm not allowed to go, i quit. and all of a sudden, you know, i was on the way to afghanistan. pete: so geraldo, i believe you were with nbc, is that where you quit because they wouldn't send you? >> i quit nbc, rivera live major and once the attack happened on 9/11 and so many friends and neighbors were murdered by osama bin laden and al-qaeda, i had to go to war, i had to, you know, seek out the terror master mind who had inflicted such pain and suffering on -- on my town, my country. so i quit very high-paying job and took massive pay cut to fox news as one of the war correspondents and that's what i did from 2001 to 2012 working with some of the great men and women of armed forces, 11

assignments in afghanistan and 11 in somalia. it's great, pete. >> you're a patriot and i know the series will show it, the warriors available streaming on fox nation this sunday. steve: sorry you had to take such a big pay cut to come work for us. [laughter] >> geraldo: you buy me lunch, steve. steve: i think i will make you -- all right, have a good weekend. best to erika and your family. meanwhile joe biden layed out his plan for criminal justice reform, but what has he done for the last 47 years? we are going to ask judge jeanine that question coming up next.

steve: joe biden wants to be president offering a variety of suggestions for criminal justice reform during his visit to kenosha yesterday. >> i'm not pessimistic, i'm optimistic about the opportunity if we seize it. anybody who gets convicted of a drug crime not one that is in terms of massive selling, but consumption, they shouldn't go to prison, they should go to

mandatory rehabilitation. instead of building more prisons i've been proposing we build rehabilitation centers mandatory. steve: okay, but where was that kind of action during his last 47 years, here is reaction, host of justice with judge jeanine and author of don't lie to me. did not stand with law enforcement, did not stand in those parts of towns that were completely gutted and yet here he is talking about justice. >> you know, the interesting thing is that joe biden doesn't need opponent in the campaign and he's basically running against himself and own record. joe biden is the man behind the omnibus crime bill of 1994 where he said that there was super predators and he arranged and

when he was chair of senate judiciary he wrote a lot of the law but apparently put a whole generation of young people in prison and he has consistently, steve, consistently defended that law. in fact, in 2008 when he was on the ticket with obama, he said that we needed another 50,000 more police on the saying that he wants to change what he did in -- in 1994 is simply his political change based upon the winds these days. he's now proposing that we put $20 billion into criminal justice reform so that we can get the states to stop incarcerating criminals, so we should pay the states $20 billion to stop putting people in jail. he was in favor of mandatory minimums, he's not in favor of mandatory minimums now. he wants no bail, no cash bail in any criminal case. joe biden wants to bring to the

united states what we are seeing now in new york city, detroit, in -- in portland, in seattle and all over the country. crime will run rampant because there's no accountability. that's what joe biden is doing and at least if he understands what he's doing. steve: listen, i know that you will talk about it this weekend, you have rand paul, you will talk about that, plus i hope you address -- we were not supposed to see joe biden after labor day. actually we were never going to see him. he was going to be in the basement. what happened in the last week that suddenly they are going, you know what, let's gas up the truck, we have to go. >> judge: clearly what happened was a republican national convention which had an incredible story and narrative of people in this country who interacted either with the president or benefited directly

by his policies saying this is the man that we need for america at this time and the president going to kenosha showing leadership, standing with law enforcement and indicating that what he's going to do as president. joe biden after rnc said maybe in ten daysly come out, wow, the president goes to kenosha, brings money, support for law enforcement, support for businesses, listens and makes the difference. now two days later joe biden in his mask in socially-distance setting goes to kenosha. he doesn't visit the places that have been destroyed by the rioters and looters. it reminds me of hillary clinton's listening tour. that way you don't have to talk so much and let people know what you're thinking. so this weekend on the show, you can rest assure my open is going to be full throttle on joe biden, whoever he is this week coming out trying to make a stand on who he is today but i

don't know that it's going to matter because i think the american people see through the nonsense. steve: all right, we will be watching for your opening comments tomorrow night right here on the channel. thanks for joining us on this friday. >> judge: thank you. steve: country music star kane brown wrote song to pay tribute to america's heros, he joins us live with one of america's heros coming up and a performance. ♪ ♪ about. secret. robinwithout the commission fees. so, you can start investing today wherever you are -

♪ ♪ ♪ the open road is open again. and wherever you're headed, choice hotels is there. book direct at choicehotels.com. ♪ >> we are back with a fox news alert. the august job's report just released. 1.4 million jobs added last month. that's about what was expected, steve.

steve and, pete, one of the headlines is unemployment is under 10% which is good news. the unemployment rate right now at 8.4% last month. that is down since july's unemployment rate and more than 10%, to put it into perspective, in february, when the nation had the lowest unemployment in 50 years, the rate then was 3.5%, so we are still about 5% north of that, but nonetheless, with them hiring 1.4 million people, the hiring continues, but, you know, we are slowly crawling out of this hole from the pandemic because there's so many industries where the hiring has not resumed like in travel and leisure and hospitality and the airlines and retail. that's going to take a little while longer. it is a good sign. jededia: positive trend and one that you will continue more as businesses reopen. new york city alone, i was getting text messages from

friends that just got word and hoping that the news continues in positive direction. jillian: let's begin with this, i'm sure you remember, do you remember this moment during this year's state of address when nancy pelosi ripped the president's speech, republicans are calling on barr if the move violated federal law. the speaker violated responsibility to preserve official documents. the fbi rating of two nursing homes of criminal neglect. more than 30 people -- 300 people tested positive, the facility had the worst coronavirus outbreak in the state with 73 deaths. another facility is accused of stealing coronavirus stimulus checks from its patients. the coronavirus is pushing more families to home school their children, a new gallup poll says

1 and 10 americans are homeschooling their kids doubling the amount of last year. they are making the switch over health concerns and because homeschooling creates curriculum than public schools. let's look at headlines, let's send it back to you. steve: thank you very much. country music kane brown, he's taking his support even further joining forces and joining voices with vets for a special remix. >> new track is all about giving back, every stream to purple project. pete: joining us country music star kane brown and cortez,

gentlemen, thank you so much for being here. kane, you've had a lot of success and you decide to give more back to vets, tell us about it. >> yeah, man, i first wrote this song -- i thought about who could relate to it and found out that veterans related the most. i was excited to just hear a different take on the song and sounded amazing and for every string to help our soldiers and frontline workers. steve: jw, i'm sure you're thrilled to be on this remix singing along with him and the song is called home sick and after the service you understand what he's talking about. >> i do, obviously i'm honored. who would have thought that many of us in the pandemic in the the

city of new york that the opportunity would present itself. anyone who is ever deployed like i have and so many others, you're definitely relating to this term of being home sick. it's a terrible thing and -- and but it also reminds you why it's so important to make sure that we never forget those who are still out there fighting for us and we support them in any given way even if it's song terrific as homesick. jededia: kane, what do you hope people get as of remake of the song, can't wait to hear it, it sounds amazing? >> i hope more soldiers hear it honestly and find out that there's others singing to them and, you know, i just hope people realize what everybody is going through, people missing their families and we can all come together and be one.

pete: you served in marine corps, your dad a vietnam vet, reflect on which to see a star like this do a remix, certainly a long way on how the vietnam vets were treated? >> my dad told me many stories where many of his brothers came home and including himself and they weren't greeted with parade and they were ridiculed and condemned on the things that america asked them to do, to go and fight. i can relate them back to the world and say, hey, we've learned many lessons since that time. i'm an iraq veteran and i was greeted when i came back and to see a 26-year-old as young and as mature as kane brown, hey, i will use my platform to further

the messaging, to let the veterans know because, let's face it we have been at war for about 17 years and so you are talking about thousands of veterans and people were selected to serving, kudos to kane brown for stepping up and saying i will make the song ant them. thank you, mr. brown. steve: kane, stick around, we've got your special performance of homesick right after the next time out. first let's check in with sandra smith to see what she has planned coming up in 11 and a half minutes. sandra: happy friday to you. president trump will be greeting the president of the republic of serbia and prime minister of republic of kosovo and officer fatally shot and search underway for the suspect. 60 days out from election, dueling features by president and joe biden, judith miller and more joining us for this friday edition of america's newsroom.
