filling in for donald trump. he said no, not yet. how many more days is that? it's the 29th of september we will be watching that debate, steve. steve: we finally did get to see joe on his feet for a while. and how did he do? we are going to talk about that. we are 46 days away from november the 3rd and you know what happens then. meanwhile, president trump rallying voters in the state of wisconsin, accusing joe biden of overseeing the mass outsourcing of american jobs. in particular, wisconsin jobs. brian: meanwhile, joe biden talked to voters in pennsylvania during his first prime time town hall since accepting the nomination. looked like a drive-in. ainsley: mark meredith is live in washington as the two head to minnesota today. >> president trump spent his night last night firing up voters in the state of wink. thousands of his supporters gathered on an airport tarmac to hear the president come out swinging against joe biden. >> joe biden devoted his entire career to offshoring wisconsin

jobs, outsourcing your factories, throwing open your borders, dragging us in to endless, ridiculous, foreign wars. and surrendering your children's future to china. >won wisconsin four years ago bt only about 23,000 votes. a state democrats are eager to recapture in november. meantime biden was in pennsylvania last night taking questions from a voters in a televised town hall. biden said if elected he would e people for not wearing masks on federal property. he also heavily criticized the president's pandemic response. >> if the president had done his job, had done his job from the beginning, all the people would stillable alive, all the people -- i'm not making this up. just look at the data. >> the president appeared to be watching. he mentioned biden's town hall during his rally. speaking of rallies the president is going to be holding another one tonight in northern minnesota. biden will also be in northern minnesota. no coincidence early voting

begins there today. steve, ainsley and brian, back to you guys. steve: there are no coincidences in politics. mark, thank you very much. so both the candidates are going to be in minnesota today. a couple of days ago, over the last couple of days, both have been in the great state of pennsylvania. if you remember, donald trump was in philly and answered a lot of hard ball questions from largely democrats at that town hall that we saw on abc. last night, actually donald trump, there he is right there. at the wing tip of air force one, donald trump had something in common with joe biden because he was asked questions mostly by democrats and so were -- so was joe biden yesterday when he had that special in the parking lot -- brian, you are right. it did kind of look like a drive-in theater. it was at the pnc field and they built a stage in the middle of a stadium parking lot where the minor league baseball team plays.

it's appropriate that they would do it in the stadium parking lot because as it turns out, mr. biden got a lot of softballs. watch. >> the messaging on the coronavirus from the white house has been all over the place since february. how will you get the proper messaging out to all americans to keep them informed? >> if you were president, could you see a scenario where you down played critical information so as not to cause panic? bob woodward asked donald trump about white privilege and whether or not he benefited from it. do you see ways that you have benefited from white privilege? >> how will you handle russia's involvement with trump? how will we know the many ways he has compromised the united states? >> i look out over my biden sign in my front yard and i see a sea of trump flags. what is your plan to build a bridge with voters from the opposing party? >> do you think it's still possible to reach across the aisle?

steve: ouch. brian: i mean, it was pretty i didn't know credible the difference between the two. no one is against polite questions if you watched george stephanopoulos plus sit down with the president and see who they stacked the theater with. probing direct questions one of which the questioner cut the president off. unnecessary but great interviews with chris wallace. unnecessary but very contentious interview with jonathan swan, which was also very fair. these are some tough q&a sessions and he chose to do it. the president's belief is steel sharpens steel. if he can go in and take those questions, that's his debate prep. let's bring in joe concha now, media reporter for the hill, constant guest in the morning. he's up anyway. he says it's no problem. if it was a problem he would tell us to book somebody else. first off, joey, you saw soft ball the underhand floater, how about this? >> do you feel racial injustices

are occurring in this nation and, if so, what can be done to address them? >> do you believe it's the president's responsibility to protect america why would you down play a pandemic that is known to disproportionately harm low income families in minority communities? >> why did you throw vulnerable people like me under the bus? >> how do you stop police killing blacks at three times the rate of killing whites? >> what as a president is your plan to aid these workers who may not lose their jobs today but in the months to come? >> do you think it's okay to be dishonest? steve: joe? >> last night i hope there was a medical staff nearby for joe biden because of all the bruises he probably took from all those questions. look, steve described it as softball. i think they should have had this in dewey beach, delaware those were beach balls. right? much bigger objects to hit in terms of the questions that we saw. look, you just laid it out

there. look, this isn't my opinion. one town hall was infinitely more challenging than the other. the moderator in anderson didn't challenge or fact check joe biden even once. for instance, when he said that i couldn't believe this. look at the data. i'm not making this up. if the president did his job there would be zero covid deaths in this country. i would think if i'm not moderating i would say wait a minute. you are not actually going to see that. brian: as if he killed 190,000 people. >> it did kill 190,000 people. joe biden is taking the absolute other end which is if he were president there would be zero deaths. look at in this way, during the february debates not once did joe biden bring up coronavirus. during his super tuesday speech now we are in to march, one hour speech big night big victory didn't wring it up once. to say joe biden was ahead of this and top of mind february and march simply is not true. i could go through a lot of

things here cnn usually has a fact check kyron it used during the rnc address. for some reason that took the night off last night. very apparent what we saw between the two candidates, one obviously hostile the other one hospitable. ainsley: to the corona death question, joe biden said president trump is responsible for every covid death. and "the washington post" said there is no data to support. this keep in mind donald trump did enforce that travel ban that joe biden called xenophobia. what do you expect from the debate. the media is going to ask him softball questions and be tougher on president trump because is he a conservative. what do you expect from the debates. >> i expect what i saw in 2016. chris wallace universally from the left and right people who love to criticize fox easily the best debate moderator of all the debates we had seen during that process. i think chris wallace if he is consistent as he was in 2016 and

he will be will ask policy based questions. will ask joe biden quotes that he actually said around coal, around fracking, and law and order, and a lot of things. and president trump as well. both sides will get questions. the question is who is going to prepare the best. both sides said we are not going to do any role play here. when you go into a heavyweight fight you better spar. you better have some sort of training because during a 90 minute debate where it's not softball anymore you better be prepared. i think both would be wise to at least have somebody role playing somebody else as joe biden or as donald trump going in to something like that. you still want to be authentic and natural. but, still, unless the sweat you training the less you bleed in war is the old navy seal saying. steve: there you go. joe, we will play a game with the audience. what right wing audience or presidential tweet was this? who said this? because we have heard fro the president so many times there are a lot of big problems with

mail-in voting. who wrote. this voting by mail now common enough and problematic enough that election experts say there have been multiple electionness which no one can say with confidence which candidate was the deserved winner. we have heard the president say essentially the same thing over and over for the last couple of months. that was actually said not by the president, not by a right-wing pundit. it was said by the "new york times." back in 2012. so, what has happened, joe, between 2012 when the "new york times" said let's mail-in voting a big problem and now going not so much. steve, let me quote the nismsz also in 2012 i saw that story as well. quote. republicans are more likely than democrats to vote absentee. in the 2008 general election in florida, 47% of absentee voters were republicans, 36% were democrats. in other words more republicans did it then in a key state of

florida therefore it must be rife with corruption. you keep hearing this example well there are only isolated incidents of mail-in voting fraud in patterson new jersey right near me. it hasn't happened on a widespread level. do you know why it hasn't happened on a widespread level because we haven't tried it on a widespread level for a national election. no one can trust the outcome that is guaranteed when the votes are counted. steve steve headlines august 31st of this year. trump is pushing a false argument on mail oin voting fraud and here are the facts. so, they were for it before they were against it. they were against it before they were for it. >> maybe that's where john kerry got that particular line from, who knows, right? the "new york times" is an infinitely different paper in 2020 than it was in 2012 and it was very far leaning left at that time. i go back to the stat they have not endorsed a republican candidate for president since

1956. that's a long, long time not to go at least once to say hey i like reagan over mondale type of situation that's who they're, are going to flood the zone. whether you want it or not i'm sending a ballot to your house. pennsylvania court decided just got to postmark your ballot to get there it has to be postmarked before november 3rd. it can get there as late as november 7th. i think ohio did the same thing. just leading to a mess on november 3rd. new jersey's governor is also come in. he also decided to mail everybody ballots. but he also decided to do something else. i'm a little short on cash. i'm losing a lot of rich people. so i have an idea. let's hike the taxes on millionaires on our state that will close the gap. is there anything wrong with that calculus? >> united van linings of all people, brian, and i will be quick. of every 10 moves out of new jersey or in new jersey, seven are out of state. in other words not like i'm moving from white cloth to wayne. i'm moving out of new jersey to

idaho or texas. when that revenue goes away from the people who pate most in taxes then the state goes bankrupt because we have seen it in new york state right next to us. the exdus will be real and it's already happening here in new jersey if united van lines of all people are any indication. people are getting out. ainsley: it's a significant. >> and i'm getting out because i have got to get my kids to school, ainsley. my kid spinally going to school and you never saw two parents so pleased. a six hour break is nice. steve: the importance of education. ainsley: you are not along, joe. thanks for joining us. hand it over to jillian she has news for us. jillian: that's right. good morning. we begin headlines with. this the los angeles sheriff's department searching for a witness in the brazen shooting of two deputies near compton train station. >> we know that person is there. we saw the suspect run right by. so we really want that person to come forward. >> surveillance video shows the gunman walking up to the

deputy's patrol car and opening fire. one deputy is released from hospital. the other remains in the icu. there is now $675,000 reward for the suspect's arrest. a first alert. a manhunt is underway for two suspects accused of shooting up the home of two new jersey police officers. the couple and their 10-day old infant were inside when six rounds of bullets struck and penetrated the house. >> everyone is investigating this and helping us to bring these thugs in to justifiable. and we are going to catch them and we are going to bring them in. >> detectives believe they found the van driven by the gunman there is a photo on your screen. the fbi is joining the investigation. there is a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. thankfully, nobody was injured. video shows destruction and devastation left behind by hurricane sally on the gulf coast. at least two people have died in alabama and florida. the powerful storm forcing oil

>> what is most important is ensure democratic victory of november and we continue to push vice president biden on issues from marijuana to climate change to foreign policy i think over all um, we can likely push vice president biden in a more progressive direction. steve: there you have got new york congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez saying the progressive wing of her party can likely push joe biden further to the left if joe biden wins. our next guest is a high school teacher and former cop and he is challenging aoc's progressive agenda in new york. republican congressional candidate john consumption joins us live from the new york area.

john, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve, thank you for having me. >> it's good to have you. joe biden would like to win, obviously. but she would like him to win so that once he has the job she and her other progressives can push him further to the left. explain what you think her plan is. >> i don't know how much further left the vice president can go. i mean, the democratic platform is basically the socialist hand book. i was really surprised at the topics that congresswoman ocasio-cortez wanted to talk to him about marijuana and climate change? those are two things here on the ground in new york 14 people aren't talking about. they want to talk about jobs. they want to talk about education. they want to talk about safe streets and the congresswoman couldn't be further away from those messages. that's what people want to talk about. not what she suggested that vice president biden look into. and if people want to find out where i stand on those issues, you could check it out at cummings 20 to.com. >> people there in new york's 14th district. do they feel that she is

fighting for the things they are interested in? you were talking about safe streets. she is talking about climate change. you were talking about jobs. she is talking about climate change, marijuana, things like that. is there a disconnect between what the people want and what she is pushing in d.c.? >> absolutely there is. look at her record she was wrong on the amazon project 25,000 jobs plus. wrong on education. shy wants to ban charter schools which are a very big of the education system in new york city particularly those of the lower income bracket. and she is certainly wrong on safe streets she wants t defund the police and experiment. i was part of the last experiment in the 1 1980s when you under fund the police 200 i was part of that experiment. nobody wants to go back there she i completely out of touch. steve: sure we have seen what has happened on america's

streets with the chaos and we certainly salute you for your past service. you told me during the commercial time-out there are some internal polls you have had access to and the race between you and aoc is much closer than people think. >> yeah. it is. we did some polling and it's much closer than people think. i think that goes back to my original tenet in this race was that this is a heavily democrat district. it's not a heavily socialist district. it's a working class district. people only their own homes. they own businesses. they have tremendous investment in these community. they have good 401(k)s. they have good health insurance. they don't want to lose all those things and that's exactly what she burns. >> john. exit question. i notice that to help fund your campaign you are getting a lot of money from out of state. thousand sapsdz of donors from all 50 states. why are people so interested in that race? i have said this from the beginning too the congresswoman

has done a tremendous job building a tremendous persona for herself but she has left the district behind. i have a 30 year record of service to the community. people know that and people are interested in the race because of it. steve: all right. high school government teacher john cummings would like aoc's job. at least her seat in washington, d.c. john, thank you very much for joining us today. >> nice to see you again, steve. thank you. steve: you bet. by the way we did invite congresswoman ocasio-cortez on the program have not heard back from her yet. we will keep you posted. meanwhile president trump campaigning in wisconsin last night blasting a potential joe biden presidency. rachel campos-duffy was there and talked to rally goers. you will hear from her live next. >> are you worried about trump winning in wisconsin this time? >> no. no. not when i see our fellow wisconsinites here. >> i think trump is going to win it by a land slide. it's going to be huge.

is that thin blue line keeping us between freedom and security and safety and anarchy. and the democrats want to side with blm and antifa and anarchy over our law enforcement, and i'm tired of it. these are 43 people that have been murdered. how many have been assaulted? how many of our communities have been burned to the ground a billion dollars worth of damage while nancy pelosi is getting her hair done in a salon while not wearing a mask? the american people are tired of it. and the speaker refuses to come to the floor, bring resolution to the floor, have us vote on anything, to stand as a body behind our law enforcement community. and i have had it. i have had it and the speaker of the house needs to go. ainsley: one of the biggest issues for americans law and order. people are fearful that they are going to get attacked. their businesses are going to get rioted or someone is going to pull out a gun on the street and rob them. especially with all this defunding and so there is this poll that was rasmussen took and they are saying is there a war on police in america today? 59 percent said yes.

the border patrol who are standing up on the border, ice condemned by this speaker of all throughout the time in the last two years this speaker has been condemning law enforcement. she has got time to go on the late show and look at ice cream. she has time to go to the salon and get her hair done. she doesn't have time to come to the floor of the house, bring a resolution to the floor and defend law enforcement. finally yesterday, noon, she is looking at the polls, she is looking at the video that i did on the floor with some of my colleagues and said i better go to the floor and say something about law enforcement. but she didn't. she just said well, we're need to not have some of this rioting and looting but, man, we have got all these great peaceful gatherings. she needs to do her job and she refuses to and that's why we should vacate the chair and get rid of the speaker. steve: congressman, you just mentioned the soundbite. we have just pulled it up. here is nancy pelosi yesterday. >> we support peaceful demonstrations. we participate in them. they are part of the essence of

our democracy. that does not include looting, starting fires, or rioting. those are -- they should be prosecuted. that is lawlessness. steve: well, she finally said something after months of not. but, congressman, you have mentioned a number of times during this appearance, nancy pelosi has got to go. and that apparently is why certain members of the house freedom caucus there on your republican side have said kevin mccarthy, you are our top republican. get a movement. let's boot her. >> yeah. absolutely. and you notice that the speaker comes to the floor and she gave us about, what, five seconds there of saying something about the lawlessness? but no actual willingness to stand up for our law enforcement officers no. willingness to call out blm. no willingness to call out antifa. she is blowing up the house of representatives. we are no longer the people's house. we have proxy voting for the

first time in history. shy brought the impeachment to the floor without being bipartisan without having the actual votes to do it. she has been making a mock ril of the house of representatives. she won't bring small business bills to the floor when we have bipartisan bills like the one i have had since june. we have another one now in september. she needs to go. this isn't just waiting until november or waiting until january. we need to vote her out right now. brian: it's all symbolism, if you want to motivate people november 3rd is the time to put her in the minority. i understand your sentiment, but i think the last thing we need now is another symbolic vote, right? >> well, this isn't a symbolic vote. here's what you do you bring to the floor and vacate the chair. let's have a vote on who stands with nancy pelosi. who stands with the leadership of the democratic. brian: they all do. they all do. buff they all do. >> what was that. brian: they all do. all the democrats stand with her. we have already seen the drill. >> no. but you know what? that's not entirely true. if you watch some of the quotes this week there are a bunch of

freshman democrats starting to break from the speaker. also we know that aoc and some of the radical left don't like the speaker she is not radical enough. let's force them to vote. let's see where they stand and then in november you will know when you go to the polls who stands with nancy pelosi, who stands with the american people. who wants to stand up for america versus standing up for a democratic party that refuses to stand for law enforcement. ainsley: congressman roy, thanks for joining us from texas. >> thank you all, take care. ainsley: you too. jillian so ever there. she has headlines for us. jillian: good morning to you. a bail found promoted by vice president nominee kamala harris and some joe biden campaign staffers helped release an accused child abuser. documents obtained by fox news revealed timothy columbus filed to have his bail money returned to the minnesota freedom fund. harris sent this tweet on june 1st asking supporters to donate to that organization. this was during the height of the rioting in minneapolis. chicago is trying to solve this $1.7 billion budget crisis by

cutting millions from police. the city's financial analysis recommending a $55 million cut to the department's budget next year. the office suggests removing department perks to save money, including uniform allowances and bonuses. the city is also considering leaving some police jobs unfilled. more than 460 chicago officers have retired from the force this year. well, these police officers don't monkey around. police in tampa reunite a man with his missing monk. the department says aboo led several officers on a wild chase after he got loose, they were able to catch the tiny primate getting him back to his owner. officers say he was so thankful that he treated them to impromptu spa day helping them with their hair. a look at your headlines. steve: i don't think i would call it a spa day. i would say there is a monkey messing with my hair. ainsley: that would freak me out no. way. steve: thank you very much, jillian. all right. it has been a very busy weather

week and janice dean at her post on this friday. janice: yes. we are watching hurricane teddy. this is a category 4 storm. we expect it to come very close to bermuda over the next couple of days and the northern new england and canada will have to watch this path as we go through tuesday and wednesday next week. we are crossing our fingers it stays mainly offshore. we will have to watch it over the weekend. we will bring you the very latest. enough to we have tropical depression number 22 expecting this to become our next named storm that would be wilfred and then texas and louisiana need to keep a close eye on this over the weekend. weave think it's going to meander in the gulf of mexico, meandering in the gulf of mexico is not usually a good idea because we have got lots of warm water there. there are the tropical models but the bottom line here is we could see some very heavy rain along the coast. so, keeping that in mind and we will bring you the very latest. also dealing with the fire danger across the west.

brian: today bet along with 40 other organizations national black voting dated encourages african-americans to vote. who has done more for black voters president trump or joe biden? here to discuss former nfl player herschel walker. did i not know we have a day like this but always good to alert people on the need to register and actually vote. who has done more?

let me ask you that question. >> i'm going to take it from karl rove. i got a white board. i talked about the economy. look at the economy here where the unemployment rate came down 5.8. and then biden-obama it was 12.8. that was absolutely terrible. and then look 1.1 million people out of poverty with trump. and 145,000. so we're going to give this here to president trump right here. let me mark it. and right here this is criminal justice reform. he did a first step act with 90% of african-american benefit oh, jeez, we have legislation over here where vice president biden. he preached that for a long time and he also -- what was it? brian: mass incarceration. >> 1994 crime bill we will give this to president trump. and at the bottom we have the stop wars. you know, president trump just now signed a peace treaty and

incredible peace treaty that i think is historical and oh, these wars that they have been having, the war in afghanistan and also he voted for the iraq war. oh, jeesh. got to give this this like president trump. offense, defense, special teams. i think president trump may win. this this being african-american voting day. i think president trump may be winning this right now pete. i want them to do the research. don't take it from me. you will find out this president has done a lot more for for instance than you think. brian: i think very impressive. your serve, karl rove. i know is he watching. he has cable. made sure it's paid for. he can pay it off. the attorney general at hillsborough college came out and said the lockdown for the coronavirus is the greatest intrusion on civil rights in u.s. history other than slavery. and many like james clyburn took

a personal offense to that does herschel walker as an african-american take offense to that? >> no, i don't. you know, i don't take offense to that because there are so many people that are losing their jobs. there are people losing their lives and i don't take offense to that it's sad that today everybody want to go to slavery. everybody want to talk about color. and, you know, i'm tired of hearing that. instead of me being a colored man. why i can't be a man. instead of me being an african-american. why can't i just be an american? i think that's the problem. people want to keep everyone -- keep hate and keep everyone up. i think that's terrible to do it. brian: unhyphenated america would be a goal. did a lot got together with parents, players and officials. and big ten is back. he wants the pac-12 to do the same thing. what do you think? >> well, i don't know why they shouldn't. and i said it earlier on. i thought they should be playing because what in the world can you do except put players into an environment controlled

environment and university that has world class doctors. they can test. they have world class testing and can you control this situation that they are. in right now, you know, president trump was voice for the voiceless. the ohio state, you heard justin fields and all those people called the commissioner. and voices there and you help them. i'm not sure why the other group can't start coaching as well and get back to playing. brian: herschel walker so impressive. i don't know if you wrote it last night or this morning. very impressive white board. i'm honored and ainsley and steve are jealous that you did it for me. herschel, thanks so much. >> hey, thank you. brian: all right. look who is coming up next. casey mcfarland, geraldo rivera and jeanine pirro. with a painless, one-second scan you can check your glucose with a smart phone or reader so you can stay in the moment. no matter where you are or what you're doing.

he going to ask me next. the guy who would have a better idea is donald trump. not only will interview with chris wallace lasted an hour. the theory is rather than having him play joe biden like maybe he was helping him with hillary clinton last time he says i'm just going to go take the toughest questions possible. and he did that with jonathan swan. did he that with business wallace and did that with george stephanopoulos. it's a hostile setting. steve: he did it with bob woodward. brian: absolutely. 18 times for nine hours. ainsley: being called the abc ambush. brian: a lot ofs who at this ho. the biggest problem i thought mitt romney the reason why barack obama struggled so much in the first debate with mitt romney because he hadn't taken hostile questions for four years. the reason why george bush got killed by john kerry in the first debate he hadn't takens who questions for four years he was doing this thing running the country. the president is really not

going to have that problem. he takes who kill questions every four minutes. last night he was in wisconsin had a chance before he got on stage while he was probably in air force 1 to watch joe biden's town hall. here's a little of president trump being president trump. >> joe biden devoted his entire career to offshoring wisconsin jobs outsourcing your urge borders. drawing us into ridiculous foreign wars and surrendering your children's future to china. >> we need a transition. there is no rationale to eliminate right now fracking. >> we are doing a great job relative to other countries on the. >> we handled covid. this is not only causing us life loss here causing to us lose our influence in ways that are profound. >> i see he is up there tonight getting solvable questions from anderson cooper.

[crowd boos] >> they don't ask me questions like that. and the audience isn't quite like this. brian: there wasn't the follow-up. for example, the president of the united states if you are anderson cooper and talking to joe biden you are very well aware that during the debates he was going to get rid of fracking now is he saying i'm not going to get rid of flacking. that's a big deal. get rid of fossil fuels by 2035 are you gradually going to tell oil and gas people to do something else for a living? when it comes to foreign trade deals, you really sit there and sit here in this state and say we are going to bring jobs back. 47 years trade agreement republicans and democrats agree to exited those packages and do we agree the uscma much better job signed off an supported. that would impress joe biden give better answers if he had them. >> biden was in pennsylvania and dodged questions, brian about the green new deal. he said i have my own deal. i have laid it out in great detail. we need to change the way we

deal with the environment. okay. well, do you support the green new deal or do you not he? called russia an opponent. he called china a serious competitor. then the president was in wisconsin for this great america come back rally. and he had lots of people out in the audience. he called biden a sell out. he said is he outsourcing factories. is he throwing open your borders. sell sending your children's future to china. he will talked about patriotic education. the cancel culture. he said that's embraced by the radical left. he said we have built the greatest economy in the history of the world precan a ronna. rachel campos-duffy was out there. she lives not too far where he was live. went out with a microphone and talked to a lot of the the people nut audience. listen to this. >> what are your top issues this election? >> defunding the police. >> security for our country. >> law and order. >> are you worried about trump winning in wisconsin this time? >> >> no. >> i think is he going to definitely win wisconsin now especially after the kenosha

thing. i think that actually boosted him. >> trump has all the armies' back. he has the police's back that's what we need in this country. >> how do you think he is handling covid. >> is he doing a good job. >> should schools open. >> yes. >> what say to people think rallies are inappropriate because covid. >> i'm a physician and think >> talking point yesterday amongst the crowd and she referred to the fact that liberals might say look, the economy is terrible right now. people are out of work. people are losing their jobs. conservatives and the president will say the economy was great before the virus we are going to get back on our feet. vac senile. president said he can get the economy back up and running. listen to rachel. >> central wisconsin used to be a blue dog democrat area, it's now trump country. these are patriotic hard-working

people. this is a manufacturing era. they love their country. they, you know, are concerned about china. they are worried about jobs. they are grateful for the manufacturing jobs that came back. they want schools to open. these are people who put their boots on and go to work. they are concerned about the economy coming back. and at least in this crowd, they think that donald trump is the one they can trust to do it. when you think about the contrast two tv shows whether it's was trump live in wisconsin or joe biden out in that parking lot at the stadium. the dynamic was it was kind of quiet. joe biden essentially was in a safe place. he was there being interviewed by anderson cooper on cnn. and as we heard at the beginning of this segment, with that little montage, most of the questions came from democrats. and, you know, they wanted answers but they were democrats. when donald trump was in philly

a couple of days ago. most of his questions were from democrats as well. when you look at what is going on behind the scenes and how they are doing internally when you look at the polls. usc and i quoted this yesterday. usc has found that joe biden screen left has actually united the democrats. and that's good. the problem for him is the fact that apparently independents and moderate persuadable republicans feel that joe biden is way too liberal for them donald trump talked about what's going on on the american streets with law enforcement his base loves that the president was talking about the war on cops and joe biden who has been late to the party. watch this. >> rhetoric of biden and the rashida tlaib left puts your law enforcement in serious danger.

joe biden and the democrats. they condemn america and war is always waged on our great law enforcement. he called for police and then he calls them all the enemy. he says they are the enemy. and he just thinks it's terrible. steve: okay. so the question is what do you think? rasmussen just did a poll and as it turns out when asked a question is there a war on police in america? about 60% of you said yes, this is a poll of 1,000 different likely voters. and, of course, it came two weeks after -- a fridays after that attack on the officers in corporate. only 30%, essentially say no, there is no war. something like 60 percent said those types of attacks should be considered hate crimes which currently they are not. brian: earlier chip roy congressman from texas came on

and pointed out 43 cops have been killed. where is the outrage on the other side of the aisle. ainsley: this year. brian: this year. let's look. >> law enforcement that thin blue line keeping us between freedom and security and safety and anarchy. the democrats want to side with blm and antifa and anarchy over our law enforcement. these are 43 people that have been murdered. how many have been assaulted? how many of our communities have been burned to the ground billion dollars worth of damage while nancy pelosi is getting her hair done in a salon while not wearing a maverick in the american people are tired of it. brian: what happens is the protests turn into riots and they have not stopped in seattle. they have not stopped in portland. they are worrisome in places like kenosha that they could ignite again. yesterday, the fbi director was on capitol hill and was asked about antifa. he says they are absolutely a real organization and ideology. take that jerry nadler. that is real. they need to be unwound. remember, they show up with bats and bricks in an organized

fashion. a lot of them have ear pieces. they are trying to take down our cities and the attorney general is not going to take it. i get this all the time. who do you think is going to win? i say i have no idea. who predicted the pandemic? who predicted the civil unrest? who predicted the other side of the pandemic stand up the country again and the economy. all those things didn't happen. the other thing that happened that the president has reacted to. the violence in the cities and also reacted to the they pull down our statues and mock our past. in the end average person outraged when kids come home fifth grade social studies book apologize for things we used to study and have on tests the president went to the national archives yesterday and said i'm going to make sure people know america's past. ainsley: messages radical left that's not resonating with the voters, brian. because when you look at nancy

pelosi shy was calling cops storm troopers. not condemning the riots. yesterday she was on the floor when she was saying that she wants peaceful protesting. she is condemning the violence. trey gowdy was on fox earlier. he says the polls are tightening. nancy pelosi is realizing this. and that's why she is speaking out. where walls she over the last 100 days? she was getting her hair done and calling cops storm troopers. steve: it comes down again to base issues. what is your party's base issues? and we have been talking about the law enforcement so-called blue lives matters law laws were of the quells asked by the rasmussen people. it depends on whether you are think they are a good idea or not depends on what party you are in. ainsley: yeah. steve: 80% of republicans, rasmussen says, supports blue lives matters. 80%. the number for democrats 39%. brian: if i can add something to

that real quick, we need to make progress on racial justice in this country. that's what tim scott was talking about. talking about deescalation techniques. addressing issues. we are moving in the right direction. now we all went to opposite corners again. steve: we can do both. brian: we're not trying. steve: good discussion. thanks for joining us on this friday thank goodness. lots to talk about with the politics. lots of headlines as well and for that we turn to jillian. jillian: good morning. just moments ago a tragic end for the missing firefighter. he has been killed. there was intense search and rescue effort. a deputy posted this video driving through those flames outside of los angeles. another first alert. brazen attack on an arizona trooper. the arizona department of safety says the trooper was sitting in his cruiser in phoenix when a car pulled up and passenger got

>> prosecutors have all too often inserted themselves into the political process based on the flimsiest legal theories. we have seen this time and time again with prosecutors bringing ill conceived charges against prominent political figures or launching debilitating investigations that trust the department of justice into the middle of the political process and preempt the ability of the

people to decide. brian: the like the attorney general of new york perhaps. bill barr slamming his own justice department accusing prosecutors of launching politically motivated probes. security advisor and author of revolution kt mcfarland. somewhaactivism he is talking at that is happening below the top level? >> all right. so these are career government bureaucrats. they are unaccountable to anybody and they ought to be fired. they are like a bunch of woke teenagers who say we will go after we ho we want to go after. the attorney general said no, no, no, no; that's not your job here. your job is to follow the law equally to trump people and nontrump people. you can't just pick and choose how want to go after. and what he is doing he is saying he has said a number of time there was spying on the campaign. unequal enforcement of justice, there was persecution of trump people. and, yet, his own department is

not policing itself. they want to go like a bunch of woke teenagers. they want to do what they want to do. i think what you are see something increasing frustration on the part of the attorney general. he knows there is a problem there. and, yet, what are they doing the career bureaucrats unaccountable to nobody, they are dragging their feet. they are obfuscating. they don't want the truth to come out. and the truth is that they were abusing their power. the fbi, senior intelligence officials. and senior justifiable department officials abused their power against president trump and the trump administration. why? because he said i'm going to drain the swamp. who are they? they are the swamp. brian: right that speech has caused so much uproar on the other side. even donald trump is going hey, you want to calm it down a little? i'm used to getting the headlines. he goes on to say if you look at what he has done recently. you look at roger stone he interveensd and said have you been overcharged in that case. see the situation with michael flynn there is no there there. we should get rid of these charges. got huge push back.

and with personal lawsuit against the president. the president he said listen, we will take that he is the president. he has got to focus on other things. they say he is acting like the president's personal attorney. what do you say? >> no. i think is he defending the constitution. and that's the difference. you know, the way to understand bill barr is to know about his personal story. so he is a devout catholic. and a couple of years ago, about 10 or 15 years ago his younger daughter. youngest daughter came down with a cancer. a very serious case of cancer. he took time off, he went leave of absence from his firm to be with her through that. and he said that after that, when you deal with the health of your own child and she did recover, thank god. but when you deal with the health of your own child, everything else gets put into perspective. he doesn't care about his reputation. he doesn't care about curying favor. he doesn't want another job. he want to support and defend te constitution of the united states. and do you see inside washington is two sets of justice. one is justice.

and then the other sin justice for the people in the trump administration or the people who disagree with the woke department of justice. brian: kk there are people that get along with the president and people that don't. both sides. you are friends with both sides as well. why do you think the attorney general seems to understand this president so well when so many other republicans don't? >> a lot of republicans don't want. to say remember, donald trump was elected for a revolution. he was elected to go against the republican and democrat establishment. the washington establishment. the insiders. the guys who were part of the same group that want to perpetually stay in power. and the conservative people who support donald trump, they just want to go back to what the constitution is. the people in washington, they just want to preserve their power whether they are republicans or whether they are democrats who certainly seen it in foreign policy and as the attorney general says he has now seen it. for him, this is tough. because this is a department of

justice that he ran 20 years ago, 25 years ago. he has seen a change and the drift and the politicization of these woke bureaucrats. steve. brian: is he doubling down. the manual who served with bush 41 is now excelling for the 45th president of the united states. k.t. mcfarland, appreciate it? >> thanks, brian. brian: president trump pushing for what he calls patriotic education. >> we must clear away the twisted wedge of lies in our schools and classrooms and teach our children the magnificent truth about our country. brian: we're breaking it all down with pete hegseth, jedediah bila and will kaine if all three remember to get up today.

betrayed our town. he has betrayed music city. he is a judas to this town. he is now the de blasio of the south. brian: that is so unbelievable that's john rich not the country music star yes, he wants to play on broadway, yes. but he also owns a bar. he was told to shut it down on broadway as every one of them and they had to pay their rent. they had to pay their people. some couldn't. some are closed forever. because they thought well, the levels are so high the mayor has no choice. they lied. how do we know? we got their emails that shows they were really low counts. they only found 22 cases tied to bars. do you know where all the cases were, ainsley in the cases were tied to nursing homes and construction projects. so they get the email from leslie waller and she is the health department she says, quote: this isn't going to be publicly released, right? just information for the mayor's office, correct? not for public consumption because if it came out the bars would open, people would have stayed in business.

ainsley: emails between the mayor's senior advisor and the health department and we don't have the full scope of it all. but what we did read is very disturbing. telling each other they are going to keep it a secret. steve: yeah. we don't know why they wanted these bars to close. we don't know the speculation. we don't know that fact yet. i understand john rich, all these business owners, he makes a lot of money from music. but he still wants to keep his bar open. what about that mom and pop that just have their one honky tonk or one restaurant they open and they really need this money to put food on their own table? steve: absolutely. so at the height of the pandemic, in march, the mayor closed down everything for the most part those big restaurants on broadway and the honky tonks were limited to, i think, 25. brian: 25. steve: plus they were limited to takeout only stuff. and they were able to, apparently in another part of the emails that were released by fox 17 in nashville, apparently

they said there are only 80 cases linked to bars and restaurants, which begs the question. you know, that still is a pretty substantial number. but, is that worth closing down the lifeblood of downtown nashville and that's what the owners of those bars and restaurants are saying now, suddenly, out of nowhere they are saying we are going to up the capacity just a day after these things emails were published. and so you just have to wonder, why would the mayor not want to open up those bars, those multi-floor restaurants honky tonk that keep so many people in jobs? brian: it's called november 3rd. this guy has got to resign yesterday. i wonder how many other mayors are doing the exact same thing? let alone this mayor. our numbers are dead. it shows we have gotten -- less than 1%. he still leaves everything closed. he wants to open up schools but did nothing to prepare.

how many other democratic mayor's are going to -- if joe biden wins, hand the keys back to every bar owner november 4th? ainsley: that's what a lot of people are wondering, brian. this guy, people are going to be furious with him down in nashville. all right. coming up. president trump accusing schools of teaching students, quote: hateful lies about this country. we are breaking down what he plans to do about it. the case with jedediah and will next. ♪ i love rock and roll ♪ take the time and dance with me ♪ ♪ (♪ )

it. it's divine really dense and the cake inside is chocolate and it's so good with every layer. steve: we are going to cut that open in the next commercial break. ainsley: gavin, if we are going to do in this morning and i hope we not supposed to say that we please do the cake in the middle of show so everyone can eat it not at the end of the show so thank you, gavin. brian: you your whole birthday celebration. now, will, jed and pete do have anything nice to say to ainsley for a change? will will nothing. ainsley: silent. jedediah: i do. happy birthday, ainsley. ainsley: thanks, jedediah. jedediah: for people who that don't know ainsley she is the sweetest human being on the planet deserves nothing but the best birth day ever and has the cutest dog. ainsley: thank you. jedediah knows sorry to interrupt you, pete, but just one second. jedediah and i talked on the phone basically every day during

corona because we were sharing our concerns and what we were doing with our kids and things like that. i said jedediah that dog have you is the cutest thing i have ever seen. so during covid we got a toy poodle just like yours. brian: great story. pete: i have no good dog comments. we do love you. everybody knows that happy birthday. please, if you would, leave some of that cake in the green room for will and i for tomorrow. brian: will, you don't ainsley that well, do you like her? will will it's off to a good start, brian. i would say this happy 27th birthday, ainsley. ainsley: i love you. fantastic job. i have heard great things i had heard great things but when you were hired, and i know you have been in the business for a long time. i know everyone loves you on our staff. you are doing such a great job. very funny, witty will will this is about you, anxiously not. steve: about the news. pete hegseth i have heard your

alma mater princeton, an open letter from the president who wrote racism and the damage it does to people of color nevertheless persist at princeton as in our society assumptions from the past also embedded in the structures of the university itself. so the u.s. department of education is going to look into princeton. what do you think of that? pete: as it should. good for the department of education. listen, princeton university has gone full woke 1619 all the way. i reflect on where -- when i was there 20 years ago. and i will do a little show and tell this morning, guys. this is the princeton few episodes the magazine i was the publisher when i was there 20 years ago. we wrote about conservative things. we took on the left. most of what we wrote would never be allowed at princeton today. i look back on the words i was perusing it before the segment couldn't get away with it because we would be accused of

being racist or too patriotic or whatever for no legitimate reasons at all for the critiques we were making of education. i will also note when i was an undergraduate out there they actually installed statue of john witherspoon one of our founders the deck collar rafings the independence who was a minister. that's the type of statue 20 years later they would be tearing down. shows you how infected higher education is. prescriptionton hasn't been a racist place. they divided to become self-loathing because of the black lives matter 1619 project. so good on the education department. i hope they find it it be a totally racist institution and stut it down. will will take them at their word. listen to princeton, take them at their word. brian: will on the same topic the president of the united states went national ash cifs i don't know substitution, the original signed constitution behind him on cob substitution day. he declared that there is a wash on history and it's time to push forward with a patriotic

education. are you for this? will will absolutely. absolutely, brian. this woke sickness is already spread throughout our society. it's a governmental, educational pop culture. every level. and, look, i have spent some time. i really wanted to get to know this idea, this theory. critical race theory that's everywhere. i have been reading the white fragility and anti. not only rejection of american values. it's a rejection of values like individualism. free speech, due process. all the things that americans hold dear and individuals, black, white, of any ethnicity are the paths to individual success is a sickness being taught to our children. i thought president trump yesterday hit just the right note. brian: just to follow up. doesn't mean white washing slavery. the original sin has got to be part of it? >> absolutely. it's about living up to our ideals. we didn't always live up to our ideals. about living up not advisorsing ourselves from those ideals.

ainsley: principal or a dean. jedediah: i was a dean at private school in manhattan. ainsley: what do you think about this from an educational standpoint? jedediah: look. this has been going on for a is really long time sadly. the research it's coming to light right now, patience are home in large part and they are looking at what their kids are learning. they have they're usually not in the classroom. they don't have that advantage. right now have a lot of parents working from home and they are seeing it. they are seeing their college kids do online classes they are saying hold on a second. what am i paying for? i think it's sad that a commission has to be established to actually teach real history but you see the desis he creation of statues around of the country. you see a desire to remove our history to paint america as evil. you see marxism completely woven through hills industry lessons. i will say again this is long overdue. what you are going to see is a collapse in large part of our educational system and a reworking of it all top to bottom that goes from kindergarten, ainsley straight through college. parents are spending a lot of

money right now, a lot of time and they are really disgusted with what their kids are being taught. and what they are not being taught. so, i salute the president on this, i wish it had been done sooner. you know what? better late than never. steve: it was announced this week big ten football is going to return a month from now. the big question is what about pac-12? the president of the united states was on fox sports radio yesterday and said this about college sports. >> to tell you big ten just needed some confidence in it and some backing. but we are giving it a lot of backing. without us i'm not saying this for any reason. it was a terrible thing. you know tweaks it and we absolutely did it. if we didn't get involved, you wouldn't be talking about big ten right now. they had no chance of playing. they weren't going to play. steve: and so, pete, it sounds like the president made it very clear what he would like. some people have suggested initial decision was political but nonetheless, big ten is

back. pete: foolish of the big ten. they thought everybody would cascade after they made the announcement and a lot of people felt that way i know did i the season is over. good on the sec and conferences that dug thei heels in so ho sad they are young strong players who can choose to play. do it respondsably and will play. i cede the balance of my time to will cain. >> will will great job. take the coverage on that interview. the big ten now has done what other conferences have has done follow the science and allow for individual choice when it comes to these players. i suspect the pac-12 will follow suit and get to some normalcy. brian: all the other non-revenue sports said they could not have a case because football bailed. they are all on the shelf now. football gets back in to play the division 2, division 3. the soccer, the la lacross, they are all on the sidelines because of an overreaction and lack of gumption to go ahead and try to

find a way to play. meanwhile on your show this weekend, i'm not sure if you know this already, but mike huckabee has been approved. lieutenant colonel allen west has been okayed. joe theismann good at football. ehave ander holyfield would take his shirt off and punch you that is a great roster. will will if he does that have you done that pete? i don't know if you have punched somebody. brian: he does all the time. steve: taken his shirt off and jumped in the river. pete: worst wardrobe deal ever. steve: the three of you not only during this segment not only informative but ainsley actually cut the cake, and how is it, ainsley? [laughter] ainsley: i was like steve and brian you all ask questions because it's my birthday i'm allowed. guys, i will put some down in the refrigerator downstairs for you i promise. you recall. jedediah: happy birthday again. steve: we will be watching this weekend. brian: can't wait to find out

the town hall with abc that many are calling abc ambush. watch. >> if you were president could you see a scenario where you downplayed critical information so as not to cause panic? >> i do believe it's the president' responsibility to protect america, why would you down play a pandemic? bob woodward asked president trump about white privilege and whether or not he benefited from it. do you seaways that you benefit ed from white privilege? >> how do you stop police killing blacks at three times the rate of killing whites? >> how will you get the proper messaging out to all americans to keep them informed? >> why did you throw vulnerable people like me under the bus? steve: okay. yup, softball vs. hard billion ball, you be the judge let's bring in geraldo rivera, fox news correspondent at large. geraldo: hello happy birthday ainsley. ainsley: thank you, geraldo. geraldo: your lovely daughter. ainsley: thank you. steve: geraldo what did you make of that? do you agree with that depiction

that it was mainly democrats asking donald trump questions a couple of days ago over on abc. it was mainly democrats asking joe biden questions yesterday. was it softball vs. hard ball? geraldo: horrifying and very very unfair you have to remember that the president in recent days has been called a mass murdering racist and a climate arsonist. contrast that to joe biden being asked what's his favorite color. you know, it is clear that the bias of the mainstream media is painfully apparent but it has been from the jump and this president has been raked over the coals with the help of the agents within the department of justice. they really tried their best to sabotage his presidency. they tried, i think it was when will be regarded by history as an attempted coo. they were the insurance policy. they were going to undo the election of 2016. now, we'll see what happens i think a lot depends on the

debates of september 29 just next week, right here in cleveland. joe biden is clear, even though the questions were softballs that he's not the bumbling old fool that republicans have made him out to be. i think he's an experienced 47 years in the business. he'll do a meaningful job. the president, donald trump, has his hands full in these debates, he has to be the master of that stage as he customarily is, but suddenly the stakes in the debate are a lot higher than they were a couple of weeks ago. this raise race is very very tight. brian: couple of things it's not just geraldo rivera saying it's softball, jeff greenfield says in the first moments the contrast between what trump and biden was asked is striking. biden is doing well but this is not exactly getting ready to face tough questions from chris wallace or jake tapper should he decide to do so, so that is the analysis, if anyone on the

outside who wants to look soberly at both situations here is one democratic voter her name is susan connors, she talked about in pennsylvania she's trying to give a softball to joe biden but along the way she complemented donald trump. >> mr. vice president, i look out over my biden sign in my front yard and i see a sea of trump flags and yard signs and my question is what is your plan to build the bridge with voters from the opposing party to lead us forward towards a common future? brian: can he? do you think that's noteworthy? geraldo: well i think that there are plenty of trump signs. i'm in cuyahoga county in cleveland, ohio which is the one county that went for hillary clinton back in 2016 i'm not so sure now. there are dualing signs. erica, my wife as you know, is a democrat. she's very active.

she drives around and does little polls in her mind. there's a biden sign, there's a trump sign and she adds them up as she goes along and our front lawn, we fought out our political differences. she put a biden-harris sign in my front yard. i was horrified the president was coming to town so i said you can't have that sign up and she said it's my right i own half the house and she was right so i put my sign next to it and i said "wife only" pointing to her sign and husband is strongly leaning to president trump, but he may vote for kanye west. that's when i thought kanye may be on the ballot here. brian: geraldo what's your hesitation voting for president trump because i thought you were friends. geraldo: that's an excellent question. i love the man our friendship goes back five decades but i'm correspondent at-large, i feel a little hinky about endorsing a

candidate it's traditionally not done. everyone watching now knows my deep friendship for him. knows that i want the best for him. knows that i believe that he has been treated in the most grotesquely unfair way of any president in history. if only william barr had been his attorney general from the get go, we never would have had that phony russia hoax that was based ontoing, nor that impeachment that disgusting and embarrassing impeachment. neither of those things would have happened if bill barr had been the attorney general of the united states the whole time i think that america is recognizing now the president had a tough time. he hasn't fared spectacularly well in the horrible plague that has descended on us. i think a lot of this election will be a referendum on his actions during covid and hindsight is always 20/20. i tell everybody i wish i'd done things differently. i've said things on this program

in early march i wish i could take back. nobody has performed perfectly. i think that now, we're on the same page, and i think that a vaccine coming down the pike is enormously reassuring to the american people. i'd love to put this nightmare behind us. steve: no kidding. ainsley: i know you had a very, you have had a very successful career. how many years is it 50 years now right? geraldo: 50 years i'm in my sixth decade. ainsley: be glad you left new jersey, because geraldo there's this now this if you makeover $1 million, they are going to increase your taxes it used to be 8.97 and they will increase it 2% to 10.75%. what's your reaction to that? geraldo: well i think, ainsley, the same thing will happen as happened in my particular case. people will flee. people who are making any kind of reasonable income will go to less tax onerous states, like ohio, like florida, but it is,

you know, it's suicidal. i don't understand this whole soak the rich concept and what i see , ainsley, in a larger picture, is that this is a socialistic tendency. you know it's easy to spend money you don't earn, and most of these politicians have worked in politics their whole lives. they've never had to make a payroll and have had to have a real job in a competitive environment so it's easy for them to say this person is relatively successful let's take the top 10% or whatever it is off the top and use that to pay for our engorged expanding local government and i don't think it's going to work. i think taxes will be a secret issue, come november. i think that that will be a big one. i think choice and abortion will also be a huge issue, but it will be a very close election. they are showing, you know, no gop candidate has ever won the presidency without winning ohio, so he's got to win here. he did last time, and we wish

steve: 8:16 in new york time for quick headlines new york state is now suing johnson & johnson for $2 billion over their alleged role in the opioid crisis. cbs news reporting the state alleges the company encouraged doctors and patients to use addictive painkillers. johnson & johnson has already paid oklahoma more than half a billion dollars in a similar

case. and blue bell is ordered to pay over $17 million for shipping contaminated ice cream linked to a 2015 listeria outbreak. the company plead guilty in may to two misdemeanor counts of distributing adulterred ice cream products and the fine is the largest-ever criminal penalty following a conviction in a food safety case. and that is some of the news, brian but not all. brian: yup let's move ahead. president trump declaring a new era of peace earlier this week at the signing treaties of irs, bahrain, the united arab emirate the u.s. major milestone in the middle east relations which in 2016 then secretary of state john kerry predicted could and would never happen. there will be no separate peace between israel and the arab world. i want to make that very clear to all of you. there will be no advanced and separate peace with the arab world without the palestinian process and palestinian peace.

everybody needs to understand that. that is a hard reality. brian: right, then our reality hit and the real reality is it happened. fox news senior strategic analyst retired four star general jack keane. general, what happened to change the calculus of 70 years of american policy as it relates to israel and its enemies? >> well first of all there's a realization that the priorities in the middle east had shifted away from the palestinian israeli dispute not that that's not serious and not that it doesn't have to be resolved and it will get resolved. actually it's a better chance to get resolved now because the initiatives are taking place but the new priorities will clearly, iran is aggressive behavior in the region radical islam it six and a major civil war going on in the region in syria and yemen and libya, those became the priorities of the region, not the israeli issue and those were the priorities, should have been

the priorities during the obama administration but they were not you know, kerry and president obama and his team attempted to legitimize the iranian by entering into a nuclear deal with them which failed miserably because it did not curb their behavior and they gave $100 billion plus and it accelerated their adverse behavior by funding and fueling their proxies in the region, destabilizing the region further , and sponsoring terrorism around the world and then they gave them an uninterrupted pathway to a nuclear weapon. the arabs and the israelis recognize because of president trump's visit in july of 2017 when he said this. i stand with you against the number one strategic threat in the region, iran, after he made that statement, brian, 40 years not just obama's eight years but 40 years of appease ment both democrats and republicans appeasement of iran had come to an end, and then he

strengthened israel's hand by moving the embassy to jerusalem and also recognizing the golden heights gave him confidence and he strengthened the arab's hand again by doing two things to back up the statement. one, he pulled out of the jcpoa a year later because he knew it was a miserable deal for the reasons i just stated and number two, and this is a turning point as well. he killed kasam soulemani, and if you talk to the arabs private ly that is a big deal for them because that told all the arabs in the region and israel that this country truly has their back. appeasement policy are over with , and we are now going to confront. we don't want a war with iran but we're going to isolate that country and bring them to their knees economically so that they come and make it a deal to help stabilize the region. brian: so general i know you

don't read but how is this resonating with the iranian people who are great, well- educated and they deserve better but their government isn't. how is this resonating knowing that more countries are in the hopper to join this peace train? two things are going to happen as a result of this. it's going to further inspire the iranian people that are living under this tyranny and ten at it six, 1,500 have been killed in the last year, protesting against the regime, 12,000 of them are in the iranian jail cells being tortured on a regular basis. you saw what happened to that wrestler who protested. they killed him. this is the horror that's going on but this is going to inspire the people even more and his thugs are going to be further back on their heels than they've ever been in their 40- year history. they will eventually come hat-in -hand to make a deal. they do not want a war with the united states.

their regime is over if that takes place. brian: but general i don't want to get you into politics and you won't go there but they also know what the trump policy is as opposed to the obama-biden policy, so they're holding out. they are waiting until november 3 and we know what outcome they want. evidently they were close to assassinating an ambassador in south africa who happens to be friends with president trump. if they had pulled that off what is our appropriate reaction? well the president would receive a number of options. he certainly would react to that i mean, we do have a president who has exercised restraint in the use of force a number of times and we've watched it play out and people on fox news have been screaming at the top of their lungs for him to take more aggressive action, so he's exercised restraint but if they did something like that, it would likely that it would not lead to more sanctions, it would lead to some limited and measured use of force. i do believe the iranians have

never given up on retribution for kasam soulemani's death. i don't think it'll happen before the election because they do not want to incur the further wrath of president trump. brian: taking out all of the refineries probably isn't an option. in the big picture, people say well, the uae was never going to attack israel and bahrain was never going to attack israel so what's the big deal. what do you say to people like that? >> listen we have been trying to formulate an arab nato for years, similar to the trans- atlantic alliance or nato that has been the most successful political and military alliance in history and led to the defeat of the soviet union. never been able to stich it together. this president started on it by bringing in the pieces together, and make no mistake about it, brian. other countries are going to fall into place here to include the kingdom of saudi arabia and when all that takes place we will have right in front of us a political, economic, and

military alliance with israel included that is willing to confront the aggressive behavior of iran. that is historic. the path that we are on. brian: general every political science i took from high school to college they said this would never happen. it's en route to happening. it's amazing. general thanks so much for putting it all in perspective. >> good talking to you brian. brian: let's go over to ainsley ainsley: thank you, brian. each year americans celebrate hispanic heritage month, a time to recognize the history and contributions and the traditions of hispanic and latino americans fox news senior correspondent al icio cunio joins us with more. >> good morning, ainsley. here at fox news media we will over the next four weeks be highlighting individual lives of american latinos. today we begin with danny vargas he survived a childhood of poverty sometimes being homeless and hungry and decades later he's a successful businessman dedicated to helping others overcome challenges and he chair

s a non-profit working to build a museum dedicated to american latinos all in a days work for a man who beat the odds to find the american dream. >> my mom is from puerto rico. she grew up very poor and never learned to read or write. after moving to new york city, carmen vargas eventually found herself divorced with four young kids. >> she had no other skills or visible means of support. >> what danny vargas's mother did have was strength. she taught me when you were told to sit down and be quiet that's when you needed to stand your tallest and be your strongest. >> he was the youngest child and only boy. his family lived in bushwick, brooklyn which at the time was filled with crime, drugs and poverty. >> at the time it was one of the worst neighborhoods in the city and one in the country. >> danny graduated high school at the top of his class and then at 17 years old he saw a way out >> my mom actually had to put

an x on a piece of paper to authorization me to leave and join the air force underage. >> he believes that not only changed his life, but saved it. >> it got me out of that environment in new york because statistically i'd be dead or in jail right now. >> after serving five years in panama and working in intelligence, he landed job jobs at several multinational corporations before launching his own marketing and communications firm. these days he gives back speaking to young latinos who grew up in tough circumstances, living proof they can help themselves. >> it's really important for me to provide them sort of that view of a different world, a different set of options and for them to be able to hear it from someone that they can relate to. >> in 2008 congress appointed him to a commission to study the creation of a national museum. three years later it reported a clear and pressing need for a hispanic museum as part of the smithsonian on the national mall. this finding based in part on a

1,990 smith stone yankees task report that concluded the institution displays a pattern of willful neglect towards estimated 25 million latinos in the united states. this process has been going on literally for 26 years. >> danny wants current and future generations to understand latinos role in american history >> we are a vibrant, essential component of the american story. >> in 2017 he was elected chairman of the friends of the national museum of the american latino. this past july, the u.s. house unanimously passed a bill for its creation. danny says he'll see the project through. >> the role that i've been able to fill, its all been about trying to give voice to the voiceless. >> danny's mother passed away in 2016 surrounded by loved ones her lessons now being passed to her grandsons. >> you know it's one thing she taught me was to have faith that tomorrow will be another day and

tomorrow could be better than today. >> the museum bill that passed in the house this summer had 295 bipartisan co-sponsors, support ers are now working to get it passed in the senate, ainsley it does have bipartisan support in the senate. ainsley: okay, gosh what a story thank you so much. his sweet mom couldn't read or write, raising t such, make so many contributions to our country thank you. >> absolutely. answer beautiful story. country music super star john rich calling mayor of nashville the deblasio of the south after he allegedly hid a low number of covid cases linked to bars and restaurants judge jeanine pirro will react to that coming up next. >> ♪ ♪

>> mayor john cooper has betrayed our town. he has betrayed music city. he is a judist of this town.

he is now the deblasio of the south. brian: there's no question and there is a lot of people who paid the price, because he's playing politics by lying about the number of positive cases in nashville basically shutting down the honks tonks, the bars and restaurants that was john rich of course he's not only a music superstar, but he also owns one of those great restaurants. ainsley: well the criticism comes as the mayor and city officials deny accusations of hiding the low number of covid-19 cases, linked to the bars in order to keep them closed. steve: we just saw the brand new book of the author of the brand new book, "don't lie to me" judge jeanine pirro. we actually lead with the product before we introduce a guest. brian: it's a new thing we're doing. steve: nice to see you. ainsley: is that your message to the mayor down there don't lie to me? >> yeah, actually i talk about it in my book and in fact i was just going through it as this morning and i said you

know, there's so much of what they, what is going on in nashville it's consistent with what i say in my book. look the american people have known that this lockdown, this shuttering in place is something that is being conduct ed in many cases by small time politicians, who feel that they have the now power to keep us shuttered in place, and here, in nashville, is a specific example. the evidence is there. e-mails from the mayor' office and the city health department where they have something like 22 cases from bars and restaurants and honky tonks, and the mayor's office says no, so they keep it on the wraps. why would they do it and not share with the public, isn't it great we're beating this coronavirus and now, we can go back to work. the musicians, the servers, the bartenders, all of the

people, the security guards, the cleanup people, and the people who want to go out. they want to keep us locked down we saw it in michigan when a peaceful protest came out. we want to go to work. we know what to do. brian: yeah, pennsylvania as well. the mayor denies the coverup, even though we have the e-mails and one of them is from the health department official leslie waller, e-mailed benjamin eagles a senior advisor to the mayor just to confirm that we're going to this is going to be public, think us is not going to be public-release right? correct no public consumption of this information. the mayor comes back and tries to cover himself, he says of course there's no effort to withhold information. we'll do all we can to open up everything. think about the carnage, the financial carnage that has taken place. it's not just about luke bryan. it's not just about kid rock and john rich. the people that work there and the managers have all been out of work.

>> well they say, correct we want to keep it from them, they don't want to publicize, this is all about the election. i'm telling you it's about the election. brian: people don't matter, fog politics matters. >> politics matters to them because we want to keep people home and afraid and use those mail-in ballots which are just teed up for corruption and ballot harvesting and in the end this is going to be fine, and americans know what to do. clean your hands, wear your mask s, you know, don't go into places that you might catch the disease from if you're in a high contact area, but you know what? if you want to protest in new york, 10,000 at a time, without masks, have at it. black lives matter wants to go out, deblasio says it's your moment in history. this is all political. we know what to do. we're big boys and girls. steve: that's exactly right. we've heard what the cdc says and we know whose vulnerable and take care of that and until the

coronavirus vaccine comes along we just have to do our best. meanwhile, judge the president has been calling out how the democratic party during the dnc they did not denounce the chaos in the streets that led to violence and looting and things like that, and he was, yesterday, out in the great state of wisconsin where he talked about some of the other party has treated the police. president trump: the rhetoric of biden and the radical left put your law enforcement in serious danger. joe biden and the democrats they condemn america and war is always waged on our great law enforcement. he calls for police and calls them all the time the enemy. he says they are the enemy, and he just thinks it's terrible. steve: judge we know that particular message is potent to his base but what he needs to do

to win the election is convince moderate democrats who are persuadable and independents that that is a powerful message. is he doing a good job at that? >> i think he's doing a great job at that because again americans are not stupid. 80% of the african americans in the inner city want police to come back. they want them in their neighborhoods. they know there's only going to be more problems and more crime and a majority of americans want police in their neighborhoods. look, this attempt to over throw the whole criminal justice system and to subvert the power of law enforcement is coming from a small minority of people in this country who have a really big mouth and are trying to convince americans that police are serial racist murders well it's just the opposite. the police are the ones protecting us from the serial murders, and finally, the deadly

attacks are leading to a shortage of police officers and the police officers retiring, the police officers who are being told to stand down and not being deployed, it's making america an even more dangerous place. i believe, steve, that this election will be a loud signal to the country and to the democrats. you didn't talk about black lives matter and you talk about black lives matter but you didn't talk about the chaos, the looting in the streets. joe biden didn't talk about it for 100 days they didn't talk about it at the dnc. everyone in america is afraid that these people are coming to their town, that they will be sitting out at a restaurant, someone will come over and take their drink or their food and force them to say black lives matter with a fist up. this is not the america that we bargained for. this is not the agreement. government works on the consent of the governed. this small group of people who are trying to convince us

through the 1619 project that we're a bad racist nation, this is the greatest nation on earth. it's why people die to come here it's why people fight when they have to leave here. as far as we're concerned i think we'll see all of that in november. ainsley: it's interesting that you bring that up, judge because that brings us to our next topic i was outside of fox talking to a police officer and he said after 9/11 we were so appreciat ed and now it's hard to wear the uniform because we don't want someone to come up and shoot us while we're sitting in our car. scary times you know? so there was, go ahead. well it should be a hate crime to attack a police officer. if a police officer were not in that uniform he or she would not be shot like the deputies. if they weren't in a squad car they wouldn't have been shot. it's time to increase penalties for anyone who assaults a police officer. ainsley: the president agrees with you he said that in his rally this week. is there a war on police in america today? that was the question that rasmu

ssen asked, almost 60% said yes, 29% said no, 12% undecided. your thoughts? >> well my thoughts are that the people who say no are many of them believe that it's a justified assault. justified attacks. everything they are thinking is backwards just like milwaukee. milwaukee voted to defund the police and now that crime is up, duh, they call the police and then say why is crime up? i mean, are these people stupid too? do they not understand that blue line is one line between civility and chaos and we cannot survive as a country without that blue line. we have to support the police, support the military, and understand that this is a country that's a democracy, and a few people who don't like it who have different ideas can't take to the streets and decide to overthrow things like statues , assault and kill police

officers, and that's got to be ended. no more. americans will not tolerate it. democrats alike. brian: coming up on your show, shawn hannity is working a weekend i don't to how much you had to pay him, lara trump is trying to be the best in-law in the trump family, and peter navarro, there is an ongoing competition no one wants to talk about, and sarah sanders has a book out, and congressman matt g oetz. it's going to be fun. >> well thanks. you hit it all thanks. steve: and when does your book come out? brian: it's out. >> it comes out on tuesday but you can pre-order it now on amazon. "don't lie to me" if you like the way i sound when you read my book you'll hear me. brian: or get the book on tape and get her exactly. steve: judge thank you very much ainsley: congratulations on the book. brian: jillian take it away. jillian: good morning let's gina we fox news alert. a manhunt is underway for two suspects accused of shooting up

the home of two new jersey police officers. the couple and their 10-day old infant were inside when six rounds of bullets struck and penetrated the house. >> everyone is investigating this and helping us to bring these thugs into justice, and we are going to catch them and we are going to bring them in. reporter: detectives believe they found the van driven by the gunman. the fbi is joining the investigation. there is a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. thankfully nobody was injured. >> five protesters are charged after barricading officers inside a colorado police precinct. authorities say hundreds of people surrounded the aurora police precinct for several hours keeping 18 officers inside by blocking the doors and nearby streets. the group is facing various charges including attempted kidnapping and inciting a ryeo >> former democratic vice presidential contender karen bass suggests that the 2020 election needs to be watched by other countries.

listen. >> frankly think we need international observers for this election. i have gone to kenya. i've gone to zimbabwe, i have been an international observer and i think we could use that here. >> adding she believes republicans cannot be trusted because of their push for "voter suppression." >> a florida condo on the market is a beer lover's dream, check this out the home listed for $100,000 is lined floor to ceiling with stacked cans of budweiser. it took the previous owner 16 years to complete the rather unique decor. it's just outside of west palm beach and budweiser wants to keep it that way. the two-bed, two-bath comes with a fridge full of bud only if the new owner promises not to renovate. ainsley: how many bottles of beer on the wall! >> [laughter] >> are they empty or full? it's a good question. steve: can you imagine how much you could get if you took that house to the recycling center? brian: just take out one the whole thing falls apart.

ainsley: what if you accidental like your kid uses the sword and one falls out? brian: most children don't have swords. ainsley: my brother had swords and they weren't sharp they were plastic. janice has the forecast for us, hey, jd, happy friday. >> janice: i wish we were having birthday beers today ainsley, i love you. muah! okay, sally, off to sea which is good news but we have a new thing we are watching this is probably going to be wilfred, we'll watch this over the weekend the potential for this to move into the gulf coast including texas and louisiana, potentially heavy rainfall, so this could be our next weather maker in the gulf of mexico early next week. if you live across the gulf coast you need to pay close attention to your local forecast , all right? hurricane teddy, category 4 we think a brush with bermuda and

steve: welcome back president trump yesterday delivered a powerful promise to defend our nation's history in america's schools of all places. president trump: we must clear away the twisted web of lies in our schools and classrooms, american parents are not going to accept indoctrination. under our leadership, the national endowment for the humanities is awardedded a grant to support the development of a pro- american curriculum. steve: here with reaction now, the author of "don't burn this book", and you know him from his many appearances dave r ubin joins us live from the west coast dave good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: when you heard the president yesterday at the national archives, when you put it into perspective, what he was saying, i mean, that's shocking that you are unable, what is being taught in america's schools, he said, is not patriotic and so he's calling

for a new patriotic education. howed we get here? >> we got here the same way we got to so many bad places in society right now. it's really bizarre seeing some of the pushback on this where people are saying oh, if you teach young people to be patriotic that that somehow is propaganda, yet these are the same people that have no problem as our young people are being taught critical race theory which absolutely is racist propaganda, and are being taught about the 1619 project which even one of the originator s of the 1619 project admitted that it's not fully fact-based. the idea that america was founded on slavery is an absolutely crazy idea. we actually fought a war to end slavery. we've brought more people here to share in our success than any other country in the history of the nation and as judge jeanine said in an earlier segment, people still want to come here and nobody wants to leave, so the idea that we'd be teaching

people hopefully proper history to be proud of america, i don't want young people to be taught propaganda, but i want them to be proud of the country because this is a great country. it was founded on incredible principles, and it's a shining beacon to the rest of the world that you can be free and take charge of your life and we should be teaching that. steve: and the president called out repeatedly yesterday the 1619 project and said that essentially he will have the department of education or he will via executive order establish a 1776 commission, but here is the question, dave, and that is, if he says that what is being taught in american schools is unamerican, whose going to teach the pro-america message that he wants out at america's schools? it's going to be the same teachers how are they going to like that? >> [laughter] yeah it's a great problem because that then goes to show really how this is a truly

systemic problem. we talk about systemic issues all the time but this is systemic in that if we have so many teachers, and administrator s that have now bought into the 1619 project, bought into the progressive world view that is so counter to our founding documents and the way america was set up to be then how do you actually get this stuff in there? i think what also is interesting about this is, you know if the left hadn't overreached so much if they hadn't gone so far off the rails in the last couple years, then trump wouldn't need to do this so they are very upset at trump right now for trying to inject something pro-america into our curriculum yet it's their move to inject all of this stuff that actually is racist, again, critical race theory is racist, and they're the ones that injected it and now he's the counter measure and we've seen so many examples of how that happens over the last three and a half years. steve: mr. rubin, we're in our last minute but tell us a little bit about you were part of

cancel con with ben shapiro and dennis prager, and it sounds like facebook was trying to shut you down, right? >> yeah, we did an event last night called "cancel con" which is to support the no save spaces documentary that you guys know is all about cancel culture film ed within the last three or four years and all of the crushing attacks on free speech that have been happening on college campuses that we've been talking about that now everybody sees is all burst forth, and then what happened? well facebook decided that the producers of cancel con couldn't even advertise, they would not accept about $10,000 in advertising money, which actually proves the very point of the documentary that not only are we fighting for free speech on college campuses and in elementary schools as we just talked about but also we're fighting big tech and the fight is not even close to being over. steve: no kidding they tried to cancel, cancel con. go figure.
