3:00 am
should work out. rest in peace, justice ginsburg. >> tune in sunday for our special pre-debate coverage here on ♪ i'm on top of the world ♪ ♪ jedediah: welcome, everyone, to the 6:00 a.m. hour of fox and friends weekend. we are excited to have you join us this morning. it's a great, beautiful day here in new york city. although it's a little dark out there, still. here with will cain and pete hegseth. how are you doing, guys? will: good morning, jedediah. doing well here in the studios of new york. a busy day as you know from a potential scotus nomination coming just later today to, again, protests and riots on the streets of america last night,
3:01 am
pete. pete: who is on top of the world? sources tell me amy coney barrett might on top of the world today. we shall see. the president is, as we mentioned, poised to make his announcement for third nomination to the supreme court. sources stay will be judge amy coney barrett. lucas tomlinson joins us outside the supreme court as a bitter battle is expected in the senate. lucas, good morning. >> good morning, guys. now, 27 years ago justice ginsburg was confirmed 96-3 in the senate. needless to say this time around judge amy coney barrett faces a much tougher confirmation process. the republicans do appear to vat votes. president trump says he is going to make it official this afternoon at 5:00 text message. >> any say the biggest thing can you do is the appointment of judges, but especially the appointment of supreme court justices. that's the single bingest thing
3:02 am
a president can do. because it sets the tone of the country for 40 years, 50 years, i mean, a long time. >> president trump first nominated the 48-year-old louisiana native to the 7th circuit of appeals in 2017. she was confirmed nut senate 55-43 with democratic senators tim kaine and joe manchin voting for her. barrett is a former clerk to the late supreme court justice antonin scalia a devout catholic whose faith has been the target of democrats. barrett took heat about her freight senator dianne feinstein 33 years ago. barrett can expect even more opposition this time around because she is the first supreme court nominee since ginsburg was nominated 30 years ago to tip the ideological scales of the court. if barrett is confirmed it would be 6 to 3 conservatives to liberals on the court. many saw her as a lock for the nomination just as your denver nuggets will. send it back to you guys. will: not my denver nuggets.
3:03 am
just a prediction. it will always be the dallas mavericks. will: thank you so much, lucas. that was a great intro to amy coney barrett to may very well be the pick. not confirmed yet but that's what sources are telling us. a lot of questions. this is a woman extremely accomplished. there have been a lookout of questions as to how she will be treated, guys. as we know many people still have the kavanaugh hearing very fresh in their minds and have some concerns about what barrett may be facing if she is, in fact, the pick. now, we can take a little bit of a look back on that and give us a sense of what might be heading her way because we have a montage from 2017 when she was facing questions from dianne feinstein. dick durbin and others. take a listen and it might be a little bit of a preview of what you may expect to come. >> when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that
3:04 am
the dogma lives loudly within you. and that's of concern. >> do you consider yourself an orthodox catholic. >> i'm a cath liberation mr. durbin. orthodox catholic as i said in that article it's not to my knowledge a term currently in use. if you are asking whether i take my faith seriously and faithful catholic i am. i would stress that my personal church affiliation or religious belief would not bear on my discharge of duties as a judge. >> the dogma lives loudly in you said senator dianne feinstein. i'm not sure what that means but i know it means a storm is coming, pete, a storm is coming, jedediah. do you remember the brutal nomination process of justifiable sonia sotomayor? no, i don't either. do you remember the bear knuckled fight that was justice elaine that kagan's confirmation? pete: let me check.
3:05 am
will: not a political cheap shot, it's the truth to look back on her history and look at justice robert bourque or judge robert bourque, clarence thomas, brett kavanaugh and the awful process democrats put nominees through to know what is coming for amy coney barrett. if she is nominated later today. now, senator tom cotton is preparing for that he understands that he said republicans are preparing for that fight. listen. >> if your report something correct, i can just tell that you i'm thrilled with this nomination. there is going to be near unanimous support among republican notice senate, and i think the american people are going to be deeply proud of judge barrett. she has proven herself an outstanding judge. she went through a very tough confirmation hearing in which the democrats attacked her for her faith which part of a pattern of democrats attacking judges for their faith. you saw what they did to brett kavanaugh. i imagine it's only going to be worse for judge barrett. but i know that she will stand up with resolve. she is going to make the american people proud, not only
3:06 am
the next few weeks for her confirmation but for the years and years of service she would have before her on the supreme court. pete: senator cotton said he knows it would be worse for amy coney barrett now known as acb. we would anticipate the fire and fury to be worse for her. you wonder just for one second, could the democrats resist? could they learn just a little bit from what they did to kavanaugh and realize this close to an election if you go after someone like amy coney barrett, acb, who is a devout catholic who is open about that. we have had other devout catholics, ruth bader ginsburg was jewish. there should be, ought not be people have rejected the idea of a religious litmus test. are we going to go down that road again? can democrats resist? of course, they have removed god effectively from their platform. so someone who is a faithful
3:07 am
catholic is o sort of offensiveo them. it was interesting to hear lucas tomlinson say tim kaine and joe manchin two democrats voted for her three years ago as a lower court judge. how will they reconcile switching that within three years. of course they will. they will find a way. to say the votes are there for her. i have yet to hear a republican make a disparnling comment about this pick. we are talking about sources. sources are telling fox news it will be acb. well, we are going to go straight to the source. after the show today i'm going to jump on a train and go down to d.c. and do a sitdown with the commander-in-chief and with president trump for a fox and friends exclusive. his first interview about the supreme court pick right there outside of the oval office. we'll sit down with him and you will see it all tomorrow morning on this program, fox and friends. we might also ask him a little bit about debate prep. because it turns out on tuesday, that whole big show is happening as well. what's he doing? what's the prep?
3:08 am
what does he anticipate? stick around tomorrow, guys. will: that's going to be great. jedediah: sounds great. i'm always curious how much planning goes into that when we see them on stage? i'm always wondering about that pete. please do due diligence for that for me. pete: you got it. jedediah: all right. we're going to turn to a first alert right now. protests are erupting coast-to-coast after a third straight night after a grand jury decision in the brarn breoa taylor case. brian joins us with more on the unrest. >> good morning. protests continued for a third straight night and citywide curfew is extending through the weekend. last night was relatively quiet. about two dozen arrests that compared to over 120 arrests on the first night of protests here on wednesday night following that grand jury's decision not to charge the officers for the killing of breonna taylor. last night though there were protests nationwide in
3:09 am
solidarity of breonna taylor. in new york city marchers blocking traffic on the brooklyn bridge for some two hours there. also, in oakland, california, protests turning a bit violent there. as they threw bottles and cans at police officers in confrontation there. this as we are seeing new video posted from sergeant john mattingly's attorney. sergeant mattingly was the officer who was shot after he entered breonna taylor's apartment by kenneth walker, taylor's boyfriend. the video appears to show a wounded mattingly helped by his fellow officers and put into a back of a truck bed and driven away. in the tweet mattingly's attorney called him a murderer when all he did was defend himself. mattingly intends to file civil lawsuits against people calling him murderer. jefferson county sheriff's office made her autopsy public for the first time. a fatal bullet struck taylor's
3:10 am
heart. other bullets striking her foot, thigh and abdomen. these were unsurvivable wounds. breonna taylor's family is calling on the attorney general here, david cameron, to release all of the information in this case, including the secret grand jury transcripts that led to the no charges in the direct killing of breonna taylor. take a listen at one of the attorneys. >> did he present any evidence on breonna taylor's behalf? or did he make a unilateral decision to put his thumb on the scales of justice to help exonerate and justify the killing of breonna taylor. >> man charged for shooting two louisville police officers during protests pleaded not guilty yesterday. both of those officers are doing-are expected to recover.
3:11 am
one is out of the hospital which is good news. jedediah? will: all right, thanks, brian. jedediah, pete, you know, there was a poll that came out yesterday that suggests if the goal of the black lives matter movement is persuasion, is to win people over is failing. i'm unconvinced that the goal was persuasion rather than intimidation. if the goal is persuasion, there is faking power, declining support for a movement that was indulged on occasion riots, berating people at restaurants and canceling people out of their job. if is backfiring. it is losing public support. this week i got a chance to travel down to pennsylvania, jed, i got a chance, pete, to talk to a sheriff who is a lifelong democrat. in response to these protests and riots. in response to the lack of democratic response to these protests and riots, he is switching from democrat to republican. listen to this. >> in the past few months with all the goings on in the news media with the protests, the
3:12 am
riots, the looting, burning, assaults on law enforcement and the silence of the democratic party was deafening. it wasn't a political but sometimes it turns into that to switch to the republican party. pete: very interesting. will: again, if the goal is persuasion it's failing. can you catch the whole interview at 7:30 eastern. one and a half hours from now 7:20 on fox and friends. pete: very telling decision for someone to switch to democrat at this moment. jedediah: important to see and it's a sentiment that's being felt by many people across the country right now as they watch the violence erupt. looking forward to catching that will. we will turn to headlines in the 6 a.m. hour lawmakers are honoring late supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg on the final day of public
3:13 am
tributes. the justice becoming the first woman and jewish person to lie in state at the u.s. capitol. >> she was our prophet, our north star. our strength for so very long. now she must be permitted to rest. >> justice ginsburg long time personal trainer honoring her love for exercise by doing pushups in front of her casket a stunning tribute in new york city. empire state building lit up in red, white and blue for justice ginsburg. limiting restaurant capacity in the state. >> ignorant about florida. i mean, we never closed down over the summer. we actually had, of course, beaches, theme parks, retail operating at 100 percent. the final kind of piece to the puzzle was this capacity limitation on the restaurants at 50%. a lot of those folks in that industry have had a really,
3:14 am
really rough time. jedediah: the governor says we need to trust restaurant owners to have created safe environments during the pandemic. those are your headlines. pete: florida is open treating people like adults. novel concept. good for them. we should do a diner down there very soon. in fact, i think we might. rumor has it. we will see. all right, new york city in dire straits as the big apple tries to bounce back from massive shutdowns. the city's mayor adding new restrictions. we discussed with "new york post" karol markowicz coming up next. ♪ nowhere to run, baby ♪ nowhere to hide ♪ nowhere to run, baby ♪ nowhere to hide ♪ who is usaa made for? it's made for him a veteran who honorably served and it's made for her she's serving now we also made usaa for military spouses and their kids
3:18 am
>> jedediah: bill blazio eyeing new shutdowns for the first time in months as coronavirus clusters grow this as nearly 90% of bar and restaurant owners couldn't pay their full rent in august and iconic hotels are closing their doors permanently with just 7% of the big apple hotel rooms occupied by tourists this summer. so can new york city survive another shutdown? joining me now "new york post" columnist karol markowicz. welcome back to the show. we love having you here as always. this scares a lot of people, can a roll, to hear this because the shutdowns have second round is coming and won't be able to handle. this it's not survivable. we never opened. that's what a lot of people don't understand. it's unfortunate that our elected officials are so drunk
3:19 am
with power that they can't move forward with this. new york city restaurants have still not opened for indoor dining at 25 percent capacity as announced by governor cuomo a few weeks ago. the rest of the state has been at 50% capacity throughout the summer. and been doing it well. right before the segment, governor desantis of florida said that he trusts restaurant owners to be safe. i just feel that governor cuomo doesn't have that same trust in new york city restaurant owners. jedediah: yeah. there is also a fear that if life begins to rumor and these little clusters pop up where you have some covid cases popping up, that people's businesses you just can't open close, open close. that's not how -- you can't survive that but i want to talk to you about what's going on in new york city because there is a changing landscape going on and there is a lot of denial from a lot of people. i see, you know, tweeting out oh, everything is great in new york city. it looks fine. i don't know what everybody is talking about i have my latte in hand.
3:20 am
>> right. jedediah: i have been in manhattan my entire life and it doesn't look so good right now. can you talk a little bit about what is happening on the ground in new yor in the city. >> can you have one street doing great and the next street, which is really falling apart and decrepit and having high crime and having a lot of homeless problems. i experienced this the other day in the village driving down third street from the east village all the way to the west village and you would hit like a neighborhood where a man is pantless and seeing somebody with a metal bar. and a few blocks later a beautiful restaurant dropped in from its. it really matters where you are. yesterday i had an amazing day in the park slope which has had zero murders this year. other neighborhoods are not so fortunate. the way we have to move forward to save new york the people living in these streets, happy, blossoming areas have to care about the people that aren't. and that's really step one.
3:21 am
jedediah: yeah. a key point here it's not the areas that are problematic are expanding. and there was a time when those areas were retreating and less areas problematic. they're currently growing. karol, thank you for being here. we will have you back. more fox and friends coming up on the other side. hope, it is the light in all of us that cannot be extinguished. it rages on to give us a glimmer of what we can do, and of who we can become. because hope fuels opportunity. university of phoenix is awarding up to one million dollars in new scholarships through this month. yes, hope is alive and well. see what scholarship you qualify for at phoenix.edu.
3:23 am
3:24 am
pete: we are back with headlines and they are both doosies. the department of justice calling on san francisco to end, quote, draconian covid-19 rules for houses of worship. the doj accusing the mayor of impeding on religious freedom by only allowing one congregant inside at a time. you go to church one at a time. wow. and a maryland man who is behind bars for breaking covid-19
3:25 am
restrictions shawn fires sentenced to one year in prison for hosting a party with more than 50 people back in mash. it defied covid-19 restrictions on large gatherings. will, thankfully they are releasing people from prison who might get covid so he might get released anyway. will: i can't help but wonder, pete, what was the threshold for parties. if it wasn't 50 what was the threshold. was it greater than the one allowed to go to church? pete: that man looks like he might party. i'm just saying. [laughter] will: speaking of a party. in just three short days president trump and former vice president joe biden are going to go head to head in the first of three highly anticipated debates. so what can we expect from the two nominees? we are taking a look back at their past debate performances to find out. here to break it down is refound in presidential debate coach who has worked with george w. bush, mitt romney and more. it's brett o'donnell. brett, i'm fascinated by this debate. i think we should separate it into substance and style. let's start with substance.
3:26 am
i'm going to give you debate topics agreed upon in this first debate. how you think it plays for each candidate. here are the topics for this first debate, the supreme court, trump and biden's record. covid-19, the economy, race and violence in our cities, and the overall integrity of the election. going over those topics, brett. how do you think it lends itself to the two candidates? who does it favor? >> well, it's domestic policy and if the president sticks to talking about the economy he has a distinct advantage. he built an economy that was, by all accounts, one of the greatest in the last few decades. and so if he can make the case that he will be the best person to get us back to that economy, following the coronavirus crisis, then i think he has an advantage. i think if he is forward-looking and uses what he did on the economy, that could be very helpful to him. i also think the supreme court is a distinct advantage.
3:27 am
joe biden refuses to release the list of justices that he would pick from for a potential court nominee. i think that's offense for the president as well. and i think, also, the president can talk about what's happening in the streets of america and use that to his advantage as well. will: let's move to style for better or worse it may be impactful of the two factors in this debate. how do candidates respond to president trump from republican primaries to hillary clinton, people have tried almost every angle. joe biden four years ago opted to be aggressive with paul ryan. let's take a look back and i will ask you how you think that will play with president trump. here is what joe biden did with paul ryan. >> 7.4 million seniors are projected to lose the current medicare advantage coverage they have. that's a $3,200 benefit cut. >> that didn't happen. more people signed up. >> these are from your own. >> more people signed up for
3:28 am
medicare advantage after the change. >> mr. vice president. >> mr. vice president i know you are under a lot of duress to make. [laughter] but i think people would be better served if we don't keep interrupting each other. >> well, don't take all the four minutes then. >> brett is being aggressive with president trump going to work with joe biden? >> well, that's the big question for this debate. no one has yet to figure out how to debate donald trump. if you approach him like a conventional candidate, sort of wait your turn he defeats you. if you try to get aggressive with him like marco rubio did or hillary clinton did, it doesn't work out well as well. so, it will be an interesting view to see how biden handles trump. i just think stylistically, is he a big challenge for the vice president. will: there is no answer to the riddle that is president trump's style as you point out. let me play one more for you. this is hillary clinton and how she tried to handle president trump four years ago.
3:29 am
>> unfit and he proves it every time. >> no you are the one that's unfit. you know, wikileaks just actually came out, john podesta said some horrible things about you. and, boy, was he right. john podesta said have you terrible instincts. bernie sanders said have bad judgment. i agree with both. >> brett turns it right around on her really quickly on this one. how does that suggest biden-trump will go? >> i think if the president does what he did in 2016, which is return fire with fire, it will serve him very well. if he takes the bait and tries to get defensive over his record, then i think biden can have the upper hand. so it depends on the president. the president stays on offense, i think he will have a very good night. if he becomes defensive about his record, then i think that favors joe biden. will: it will be fascinating on tuesday night. brett, thanks for breaking it down for us ahead of time. >> good to be with you.

going into the election with that biggest of all victories. they say biggest thing you can do is the appointment of judges but especially the appointment of supreme court justices. that's the single biggest thing a president can do. [cheers and applause] because it sets the tone of the country for 40 years, 50 years, i mean, a long time. pete: that was the president yesterday in virginia he was in florida and georgia before that tough to keep track where he is on any given day. we are glad that judge andrew napolitano, fox news senior judicial am list is with us this morning. big moment. the president talking about it yesterday. is he going to announce it today at 5:00. what's your prediction and, just lay out the significance of naming a third nominee in just one term. >> you know, very few -- good
3:35 am
morning, guys. very few presidents have had this many nominees and donald trump is still in his first term. and this nominee this morning, amy coney barrett, we have every reason to believe it is she, is the conservative intellectual, sort of in the neil gorsuch mold that president trump has been promising he would nominate. he has been utterly faithful to his promises with respect to the intellect and ideological orientation of the people that he has nominated. in the case of judge barrett, who, by the way, is a graduate of the same law school that i am, notre dame law school although i'm a generation ahead of her, in the case of judge barrett, she has a very little track record but very strong opinions already articulated. she has already argued that roe v. wade, the abortion decision, was wrongfully decided. she has also said she will
3:36 am
respect stare decisis, laws that are well-settled and would not vote to change them other than in the most profound and significant situation. so she is going to be grilled on that. she went through this grilling about two years ago when president trump appointed her to the seventh circuit of appeals in chicago, the court on which she now sits. but, for donald trump, this is a moment of triumph. three justices in the three and a half years all of a similar intellect and all of a similar attitude about the constitution. jedediah: judge, i want to ask you about term limits. that's something that's being talked about right now particularly by some on the left who are not happy with the fact that president trump has had the opportunity to make these three nominations. but, california representative ro khanna has made some comments about that. i want to get your reaction
3:37 am
specifically to what was said. will: jedediah, actually a tweet and i have it right here. jedediah: yeah. will: ro khanna said we need term little for the supreme court. every president should have an equal chance to appoint justices. our entire democratic system shouldn't hinge on the shoulders of individual supreme court justices. judge, that's tweet from representative ro khanna. >> well, representative ro khanna's problem is not with donald trump and it's not with the electorate. it's with the constitution. so, legislation, it's pretty basic, legislation can't change the constitution. the constitution prescribes that federal judges, which includes justices on the supreme court serve for life. so what is he really talking about is amending the constitution which is nearly impossible without a tremendous national consensus behind it. it requires of two thirds of both houses of congress and then a ratification by three quarters
3:38 am
of the state legislature. there is just not the political support there for what he's. will: really quickly, judge, i just want to follow up on that. of course you are a famed judge. i went to law school i don't know if that qualifies me for any it's special knowledge. we both know the insulate judges from political pressures. setting aside the constitutional demands, is 18 years and terming out, do you think a good idea in said aside that you have to amend the constitution. would it be a good idea? >> in my opinion, no. i'm just not in favor of changing the procedures that have worked so well for 230 years because of some political angst. i can't imagine representative ro khanna would be doing this if joe biden were appointing fill in the blank a liberal justice. if biden gets elected he may you have the opportunity to do it.
3:39 am
i don't know where the 18 comes from. in the constitutional convention they talked about term limits and it was almost unanimously reject's and that's why federal judges. pete: judge nawpghts has actually read the constitutional papers. judge thank you so much. >> so did you. same professors at princeton. pete: that's true. robby george, hat tip to him he knows what he is talking about. thank you so much, judge. we are going to ask a lot of similar questions today. jump on a train and go down washington, d.c. and sit down exclusive one-on-one with president trump, first interview about his supreme court pick. of course we will talk about the debate as well it. will air all morning long tomorrow on fox. will: that's going to be great. president trump's first interview after his supreme court pick with pete hegseth here on fox and friends. turning now to your headlines. the hero dad to ho shielded his three kids from gunfire at a car dealership loses his job because of his injury.
3:40 am
anthony jefferson was shot in the thigh protecting his children when a shooting broke out at new york dealership. go fund mee says he lost his job at head painter at maintenance company and other job as construction worker. police believe the shooting was gang-related and a vandalized in texas. police say a man shattered several glass doors baseball bat before hitting and breaking a cruise fix. authorities are investigating the suspect is still on the run. and a 15-year-old boy from illinois shows his patriotism every morning. jayden petty john raises the glag flag at his community's pickle ball court. he was concerned about the flag because it did not have a light shining on it. that's when he was asked if he could take the flag down at sun set and put it back up at sunrise. petty john says he does it for respect for those who sacrificed their lives for our country. awesome story, for what it is worth, pickle bagh ball is an awesome game, pete.

wanton endangerment for the shooting. that's the very same charge against one officer in breonna taylor's case which sparked massive protests across the city. the national police association says the charges against johnson are just not enough. their spokesperson retired sergeant joins us now. betsy, thank you so much for being here and your service. we appreciate it. the arrest citation said lorenzo had intentionally used a handgun to fire at officers. last i checked, that's not assault, that's attempted murder. why this charge? >> in reviewing kentucky statutes, understand i'm a cop, not a lawyer. in looking at those statutes, it appears that this is some sort of prosecutorial strategy because when you look at kentucky law, when it comes to
3:47 am
attempt of any crime, there is less room for movement in sentencing with the endangerment charges as there is the attempted murder charge. the national police association wants to make sure that that these officers and the attempted murder of these two police officers is treated with as much outrage as the accidental shooting of broornghts. you don't fire multiple, multiple rounds into a crowd of police officers during a violent riot with the intent to just assault them. they were trying to kill these two police officers. this mr. johnson was trying to murder those police officers we want the city and america to be outraged by that. pete: does this feel political? the charges were downgraded to avoid some sort of an uproar? >> i don't know that they were

downgraded. but, yeah this does feel a tit-for-tat, using that astronaut wanton endangerment. this case has been so overly politicize from the very beginning. most people are unaware of the facts breonna taylor's death was unfortunate. she made life choices that put her in that position. the stiff louisville, who these police officers worked for, all the officers we're talking about, the city of louisville has not exactly treated them like the heroes they're. they have been treated like the enemy. pete: very much so and the facts have proved not to be relevant to those protesting. i want to get to that shooting as well. because a lawyer for one of the officers involved in the breonna taylor incident video was released showing the moments that officer was shot after the
3:49 am
raid. why would that video be released now. do you think this was the kind of thing used to identify what they were charged with? >> you are talking about the shooting of mattingly on the body cam. >> body cam shooting of breonna taylor. >> it wasn't released. it was leaked. why wasn't this released a couple months ago? what this new body worn camera video shows the moment the other officers come and they administer aid to sergeant mattingly, can you see a large amount of blood on the ground. you remember, he wasn't shot in the leg. he was shot in the femoral artery. he has six or seven minutes to live. those officers throw him in a patrol vehicle and they rush him to the hospital. this is a very chaotic scene. this is the immediate aftermath of when kenneth walker shot mattingly forcing the other officers to return fire.
3:50 am
we can't lose sight of that there is so much misinformation that says these officers broke into the wrong apartment. >> exactly. >> it wasn't the wrong apartment. and that they just started shootings broornts. that's not true. pete: it's not true at all. sergeant betsy brantner smith, thank you for your clarity we appreciate it? >> thank you. pete: more fox and friends on the other. side. priceline. every trip is a big deal. that cannot be extinguished. it rages on to give us a glimmer of what we can do,
3:51 am
3:53 am
3:54 am
shellie stevenson. bob, first of all, how did we come about this day, national hunting and fishing day? what's it all about? >> you know, national hunting and fishing day was established in 1972. as an effort to remind everyone the role hunters and anglers play in wise use and management of our natural resources. early in the 1900s many of our fish and wildlife species were degraded and on the verge of being lost. if was hunters and anglers such as theodore roosevelt demanded change and implemented activities. over the last 100 years brought back fish and wildlife. we have incredible conservation, restoration story here in our nation. pete: good on teddy giving back. shelby you have a pretty cool job. tell us about the wonders of the national wildlife aquarium. i assume that's where you are now. >> yes we are coming from the national aquarium in springfield, missouri. as you can see this is an attraction like unlike anywhere

3:56 am
and really the success story of what hunters and anglers have accomplished over not only our nation but really around utz world. we have live aquariums over 35,000 live fish, reptiles amphibians and the list goes on. opportunity to get up close with gen 2 penguins and much, much more. pete: 35,000 did i hear that shelby, 35,000 animals you are giving noah's arc ark a run fos money. learn more about national hunting and fishing day at nfha.org. tickets and pricing there as well. if you want information on this holiday. bass pro.com cabela's.com as well. thank you both. appreciate it? >> thanks so much. will: did you do hunting growing up in minnesota? pete: not really my dad wasn't a

♪ letting it go ♪ sake of the show ♪ now that you know ♪ this is my life. pete: welcome to the 7:00 a.m. eastern time hour of this saturday edition of fox and friends. that is a shot of the w hotel. i believe that's what the w stands for. today you might say that w stands for a big win for the president who is at 5:00 p.m. today going to get a chance to announce a third supreme court justice nominee. what unfolds after that we can't know. we will be covering it tomorrow morning. but, for now, to sort of step back and think about the moment,
4:01 am
it's pretty significant. will: jedediah, also forgive me, i'm going to commandeer two jobs on this program just for the short-term and one for the long-term. the short-term is announce today is national hunting and fishing day. it's usually pete's job to tell us what special day it is in the america. long term job i'm going to commandeer raise that sun at staten island and pete get out there and hunt, bow hunt, duck hunt with your kids, i promise you will have stories to tell. it's going to be a massive w. for your family. jedediah: yeah, i mean, will you know i'm a big animal rights activist, right? will: they go hand in hand. jedediah: pete was looking at you when you said that oh. will: hunters and fishers are responsible for conservation, they go hand in hand. jedediah: i know. did i hear that by the way you have a third job which is to be our sports expert. never leave that out. we always need to you weigh in on that stuff and help me
4:02 am
pronounce all the teams and names of the players so that i sound intelligent on the matter. that's number 3. do not forget it. pete: jed would try to pull the fish out of the fish tank and cuddle with it. will: you totally forgot that as i was going into that. jedediah: catch and release. pete: catch and consume. jedediah: i will cuddle with any animals poor could you pines included. put that on my resume. today is a big day, 5:00 p.m. today we are all waiting to see who president trump will nominate. sources tell us it will be judge amy coney barrett. there has been lots of talk about her to fill the late judge ruth bader ginsburg vacancy. she has a long history of accomplishments. is an originalist. is someone that conservatives feel will adhere to the constitution, very happy with this pick. obviously she will have a long battle ahead though. president trump weighed in on that announcement. he talked about it yesterday in virginia. let's take a listen to what he
4:03 am
had to say. >> we're going to be naming the nominee, hopefully we will be on that court for 50 years. 5-0. [cheers and applause] the only thing i can tell you for sure is it will be a woman. if given the power of the radical left we'll pac left wilt with extremists strike the word under god from the pledge of allegiance. will: nominate three supreme court justices in one term is remarkable accomplishment. if it is amy coney barrett. expect a dramatic reaction from the left. the stakes are too high. it's replacing ruth bader ginsburg. of course the issue of abortion is always front and center when it comes to supreme court justices. and it will have election consequences as well. both the nomination and the response in the confirmation battle. judge andrew napolitano was on fox and friends earlier. he talked about the significance of a potential nomination of amy
4:04 am
coney barrett to the supreme court. >> this nominee this morning, amy coney barrett, is the conservative intellectual, sort of in the neil gorsuch mold, that president trump has been promising he would nominate. he has been utterly faithful to his promises with respect to the intellect and ideological orientation of the people that he has nominated. but for donald trump this is a moment of triumph. three justices in three and a half years. all of a similar intellect and all of a similar attitude but the constitution. pete: remember the president was one of the first candidates to release a list. these are the people can i pick from so you can understand my judicial philosophy. i thought a little bit about this. why can't joe biden do that? well, you would be listing a -- you would be releasing a list of radical activists which ultimately creates all these
4:05 am
other cascading effects of critiques of those people. the listing for the president hasn't hurt him. all of them have been originalists faithful to the constitution. and the in the case of amy coney barrett, acb, if you were to create a nominee in a lab, it might look like amy coney barrett. she is a mother of seven, two of which are adopted after disasters in haiti. she is a well-respected professor at notre dame. even those who disagreed with her in her time as a judge have respected her intellect as the a justice and ultimately, if you are a conservative, you look at the ruling she has made on the second amendment on religious freedom throughout her time in the seventh circuit which is brief, indicates her fidelity to the constitution. this is a pick that is going to excite the president's base and changed the trajectory of the court for decades. and that's something the president has emphasized time and time again. we got a pretty cool opportunities here on fox and friends coming up. i'm going to jump on the train after the show right away and head down to the white house. we are going to get the first
4:06 am
exclusive one-on-one interview with the president of the united states with reaction to his pick. so he is going to fill us in on what the process was, why he chose, if it is amy coney barrett, if it isn't, then we are in for a big old surprise. and we would be the first ones to find out and it's going to air all tomorrow morning on fox and friends. will: what a great -- pete: find out about the debate, too. will: absolutely. jedediah: pete, you mentioned joe biden and why he hasn't released those names there is a strategy on his end. that strategy is just do less. he feels like the less he speaks, the less he gets out there, the less information he gives people the better he is. he says you know what? maybe president trump will make a mistake here and there maybe it will help me. he knows it only serves to hurt him to put more information out there like you said. those selections would not be people who would adhere to the constitution. they would likely be activist members of the court. and now we are inching into another topic where joe biden is gonna hope that he can do less and that is in the debate. we have the three days away our
4:07 am
own chris wallace is going to be moderating that debate. chris is fantastic. he will ask tough questions of both candidates. no question. and i think that people surrounding joe biden are deeply concerned about this because joe biden has not been taking a lot of questions. he has been calling these libs very early in the morning and making it very clear is he uncomfortable with the setting that resembles anything. forget about a debate let alone a q&a. there have been a lot of questions about him using teleprompters in situations where he shouldn't be. something is going on that's odd. president trump weighed in on what it may be like for him to debate joe biden. alluding it to a ufc match. take a listen. >> biden is a weak guy, i think. we have a debate coming up. it will be interesting. like going into a match, same kind of thing, a little bit less physical. [laughter] slightly. will: it is absolutely a riddle, jedediah and pete for any
4:08 am
candidate to figure out president trump in a debate. he has so much rhetorical devices, rhetorical techniques. i don't know if they are natural or if they are calculated. but they put candidates in an impossible position. i like this youtube channel that breaks down debates called charisma on command. in these videos they break down the double bingsd, an impossible situation that president trump puts you in. pete, we talked were it was marco rubio or jeb bush. aggressive? that doesn't seem to work. should i sit back? that doesn't seem to work. joe biden has a history of beino equal. you can't be sloppy like joe biden can be some times. pete: come on, man. will: you can't do that five times in a row you have to give an answer. how do you handle president trump, the debate coach had to
4:09 am
say. >> no one has yet to figure out how to debate president trump. if you approach him conventional candidate sort of wait your turn, he defeats you. and if you try to get aggressive with him like marco rubio did or hillary clinton did, it doesn't work out well. i think if the president did what he did in 2016 return fire with fire it will serve him very well. if he tries to take the bait and get defensive over his record then biden can have the upper hand. it depends on the president. if the president stays on offense, i think he have a very good night. pete: favorite part of the night things unpredictable and consequential. sports are unpredictable but not consequential. things like going about your daily life are not unpredictable more or less. debates, elections, consequential and unpredictable. and with a moderator like chris wallace, you are going to get it down the line asking tough questions of both people. and the reason biden has such
4:10 am
a -- you mentioned it, jed, why is he basically stepping back? because he can't serve two masters, is he trying to serve the radical left and the bernie crowd and effectively been a vessel for that all those crazy ideas don't work in pennsylvania wisconsin and with don't want to defund the police and don't want socialism. debate is a place he is going to have to decide which master he will serve in that moment. he will tick somebody off and somebody like chris wallace is going to find those spots. the president will have the ability to say that's not what you said six months ago, three months ago. which one are you. are you so-called moderate joe or socialist joe? it will be must-see tv coming up on tuesday. but nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house, well, she continues to say skip it all together, joe. watch. >> not that i don't think he will be excellent. i just think that the president has no fidelity to fact or truth. and actually in his comments the last few days, no fidelity to the constitution of the united states. he and his henchmen are a danger
4:11 am
with their comment, are a danger to our democracy. i don't want to give him, you know, why bother? you know, he doesn't tell the truth. jedediah: yeah, you realize she actually wants him not to have to debate at all. so in other words, she expects voters to vote joe biden when he is calling libs at 9:00 in the morning. when is he barely speaking to people, doing any sort of campaign events that enable him to have that contact with people that you have to have. i understand we are in the time of covid. have you got hit the ground in some of these states. we all learn from hillary clinton if you don't do that that's a problem. you know what, joe, just skip the debate. this looks like you are trying to cover for a very flawed candidate. because, if he weren't flawed or if you had confidence in his policy agenda or in himself for that matter and his ability to deliver that agenda, he would be front and center making that case. and he's not. that's why, pete, i want you to ask president trump about his debate prep because i think he
4:12 am
is an interesting political figure in the sense that he doesn't adhere to rules. and i wonder how much debate prep does he do? how much of it is just spontaneity on his part that he shows up and not a traditional politician. that's what sold him to people last night antime and maybe he . will: on joe biden's behalf we are seeing a strategy play out. it's very, very clear. i don't know if joe biden has been in debate prep. pete: probably. will: lay out exactly what he will do. constant offense attacking president trump. he doesn't want to put a supreme court nomination list out. i doesn't want to give press conferences, he is not on the campaign trail it's all defense. it's not defense, i don't want to talk about me. i want to talk but. i don't want to talk about my policies. i want to talk but. tuesday night will be all about president trump. pete: jed, i will definitely ask that question because it's fascinating. nancy pelosi knows the debate is going to happen. she is setting the expectations to say we knew president trump
4:13 am
was just going to stand up there and make all these false claims. that i why we said you shouldn't have gotten -- it's expectation setting. they know joe biden is probably not going to meet a good threshold, find a way to sort of muddy the waters. we will see if it works. email us, let us know. we haven't done that in a while. tosk. email us about anything you wants including speaker nancy pelosi. jedediah: here we go again. he is putting anything on the table. pete: anything's on the table. rescue crews, this is a serious story, rescue crews searching for a firefighter who missing. carlos baltazar last seen on the 20th and his truck and backpack were found on a highway. the search coming as a memorial service is held for a fellow shot shot who lost his life in a california wildfire. [bagpipes] pete: these guys go into the most dangerous places.
4:14 am
charlie morton died battling the el dorado fire in los angeles. his fiancee giving a heart felt speech. >> fire can take away the love that charlie gave me. i thank god for letting me spend these past 10 years with charlie. pete: family and friends described morton as heroic and selfless, which of course, he is. god bless him. former congressman ron paul is hospitalized for precautionary reasons. giving a thumbs up from hospital bed i'm doing fine, thank you for your concern. paul was hospitalized as a precaution after he started slurring his words during a livestream on his youtube channel. those are your headlines. will we know you like to watch youtube channels you should check out ron paul. will: looking live at the white house where in just hours president trump is expected to name his supreme court nominee. so will these hearings be any

powerful relief so you can restore and recover. theraflu hot beats cold. ♪ >> no witness who was there supports that i was there. >> i'm going to take that as a no and we can move on. how do you reconcile your statement about a conspiracy against you? do you agree that it is possible for minute to both be friends with some women and treat other women badly? did you watch dr. ford's testimony? >> i did not. >> thank you. >> i plan.
4:19 am
to say. >> that was kamala harris and her relentless attacks on brett kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings. how d. will the democratic vice presidential candidate act this time around with president trump expected to nominate amy coney barrett today? let's ask fox news contributor host of get tammy bruce on fox nation and independent voice. welcome to the show as always. >> good morning. jedediah: kamala harris played a key role last time around with the kavanaugh confirmation hearings, was revered on the left, many of us on the right were appalled by her behavior in many respects. what kind of role do you think she will play this time around? >> well, her role last time, in fact, the republicans owe her a bit. i heard not relentless questioning in that clip you played, but smug sanctimony. americans clearly did not like what she did and what the democrats did. because they increased the control of the republicans in
4:20 am
the senate. and this was a statement. remember, that was, of course, the supreme court hearing with judge kavanaugh and they gave the republicans more control over that body that makes those decisions. after that behavior. and so you are looking at a dynamic where even harris understands that what happened was wrong and yet it indicates how out of touch they are with the how the american people would respond. so they are in a bit of a bind, this time coming up. i don't think the democrats' opinion of themselves or senator harris' opinion of herself has changed. i think they still think they are better than everyone else. they see this in all likelihood as a chance to get out there because as you guys have been discussing earlier, their candidate is in a basement. that will be a mistake. it will be a mistake because americans are already prepared for something awful because of what they saw with kavanaugh and i don't think the democrats are going to do themselves any favors by, you know, trusting
4:21 am
their own instincts because those are usually bad. jedediah: yeah, i don't think people will take twelve attacks on her faith as well. great commentary as always. we look forward to talking to you in the future though. thanks so much. >> thank you. jedediah: after 40 years of service in law enforcement a pennsylvania sheriff is switching from democrat to republican, saying the party has left him behind. will had a chance to sit down with that sheriff and his message is next at 6:00. kraft. for the win win. it's official: national coffee day is now national dunkin' day! celebrate with a free medium hot or iced coffee

4:25 am
the left has many in the law enforcement community feeling abandoned. will. will: in fact, it's forcing some sheriffs to reconsider their political party and shift from democrat to republican. i spoke to one of them this week. what more land county sheriff james albert has been making changes in the department since taking over in january. >> we have definitely added training. will: he has updated the design of apartment patch. don't tread on me doesn't seem like the symbol of a lifelong democrat. >> that's why i'm a republican now. [laughter] will: is he modifying his political party going from a democrat which he ran as to a republican. >> i always considered myself a conservative democrat as the time went on and the party moved to the left, i started to see i was more in line thinking as a republican. will: in his more than 40-year career in law enforcement sheriff albert has stuck to the blue side of the aisle. when you were a detective how did you vote. >> democratic party.
4:26 am
will: when you ran for district judge which ticket did you run on. >> democrat, republican can you cross file. >> democratic ticket. will: when you ran as sheriff, what ticket did you run on? >> democrat. will: how many years were you a democrat? >> all of my life until this past monday. will: the sheriff shift appears to have been embraced by colleagues, including the department's union president. >> did it concern you his move. >> no. he is very open. very prounion and very much conservative. will: the westmoreland county sheriff's department is an arm of the pennsylvania courts. they also act as backup to the police departments like when protests against police brutality hit the state. >> the past few months with the goings on in the news media with the protests, the riots, the looting, burning, assaults on law enforcement, and the silence of the democratic party was
4:27 am
deafening. will: at least seven sheriffs across the nation have switched their political party since 2017 and sheriff albert says he wouldn't be surprised if more make the move. >> i received a number of phone calls from sheriffs across pennsylvania and they notified me, some of them have, that they are switching from the democrat to the republican party, also. and i think it's happening often. will: so could the pennsylvania sheriff's party switch be an indicator how this swing state may vote in november? >> i believe that pennsylvania will vote for president trump. will: you are a lifelong democrat in pennsylvania. were you always sceptic call of joe biden? >> i think more recently. i thought he was a pretty good candidate. but that was some years ago. he has alluded to the fact of cutting funds for police and so i'm very skeptical of biden and harris. i will support president trump again. will: why do you think he has changed? >> the party itself has moved to the left. and he has kind of moved along with them. will: have you said something similar about your own choice. your own move to become a
4:28 am
republican. >> yeah. i didn't leave the democratic party. it left me. will: there you have it, pete. pete: very interesting. will: i don't know what kind of indicator that is for the way pennsylvania will vote come this election, but i do think it's an indicator of the effect these protests have had on the electorate. they are increasingly more and more unpopular. you can see many in law enforcement are making their way away from the democratic party because of that. pete: did you get the sense, will, he was a reflection of his officers arrests well the others in the department that the rank and file felt like how could we have our leadership as a democrat are w. all this nonsense going on when got this job in problem of us and not being supported? will: i absolutely got this sense that rank and file moved. most seemed to be supportive of the republican party. again, what does that say about pennsylvania? what does that say about swing voters? what does that say about people who might switch from one party to the other? pete: about union voters traditionally so strong nut camp of democrats to hear that other officer say he is very prounion,
4:29 am
is he a republican. the president has made a play for those workers and bring the jobs back. will: absolutely. pete we will see how that goes for voters not just law enforcement officers. thank you so much. we reached out to the pennsylvania state democratic party about the comment about the sheriff's move. they have not yet responded. pete: still waiting. you will see. you know our email tosk. you canominee setto be named th. a group of house lawmakers is urging president trump to nominate amy coney barrett, acb. we talked to three of them coming up next.

4:34 am
constitution and we have an amazing judicial system. we should be proud of it. and we and we want it to continue. for my own part, i became a judge to tribute to that tradition and i would have had no interest in the job if the job was about policy making, about making policy decisions. my interest is in contributing to our tradition of judges upholding the rule of law. pete: that was amy coney barrett in 2019 speaking at hillsdale college an institution that also reveres the constitution. hours from now president trump is set to announce his third nomination for the supreme court and sources tell fox news it will be judge amy coney barrett. this comes after a group of republican lawmakers penned a letter to the president calling for judge barrett to be appointed to the high court. three of those lawmakers, arizona congressman andy bigdz, indiana congressman banks and john join us now. thank you for being here this morning. we appreciate it. representative biggs.
4:35 am
is t. sounds like you were effective. react to the likelihood it will be acb this afternoon? >> i certainly think it's the right choice. i think it's a great choice. there are some great candidates for this nomination. but she -- her character is unassailable. she is bright. she is an intellectual. finished number one in her law school class. she has been a great jurist. i think that she is going to be a great pick that will be effective on the court and a real changemaker for many years to come on the united states supreme court. pete: representative banks there were a lot of names on that list. what was it about amy coney barrett that stuck out to say she should be the pick? >> well, there are no questions about whether or not she will deliver on being the type of justice who will defend the constitution as a pro-life conservative i look back over the last four years and this president has delivered over and over and over again on his promises to those who voted for him four years ago for exactly. this for choosing pro-life justices and we know that judge
4:36 am
amy coney barrett will live up to that fulfilling that promise as well. pete: representative, good to see you again. thanks for being here. >> good morning. pete: the attacks against justice kavanaugh were vicious. now we are going at the seat that replaces the liberal activist icon. what should the justice -- the judge be prepared for? >> well, i think she has been through this before as we have talked about with both judge kavanaugh and judge gorsuch, and she did phenomenal. that's when eyes of the country were on her as a rock solid conservative that could explain herself very, very well. amy is in my district. amy coney barrett is in my district. she is my constituent. we have had conversations about this day, if this day ever came. you know, this is a big day in south bend, neabsd today. you know what? i will tell you, pete, that i believe we are going to be celebrating 5:15 tonight not a notre dame game we are going to be celebrating the next u.s. supreme court justice. pete: jackie, real quick, have you had private conversations
4:37 am
with her. what is her disposition right now, anticipating this kind of firestorm? >> so you know when i talked to her, which has been a little while ago, you know, she understands the process. and i wil will tell you that she walks the walk and she talks the talk. she is a real person. she is a real strong, powerful smart woman that is going to, i think, absolutely be the best spokesman supreme court for conservative values. and i think there is nobody better. so i think when we talk about, you know, what president trump could have done this and could have done this. this is a grand slam for president trump. she is the right person at the right time for this nation. pete: absolutely. representative biggs, do you believe this nomination will ultimately confirm before the election? >> i do. i believe so. you know because her qualifications are solid. she was recently confirmed and also the attacks on her right now are simply religious bigotry at this point or some ad hominem attacks. there is nothing of substance that they are going to be able
4:38 am
to attack. i just hope that it's not nearly as vitriolic as the kavanaugh hearing was. pete: representative banks, do you feel the same way? >> yes. once again, president trump told us four years ago who he would choose from. he gave the american people a list of potential justices. we're still looking for that list from joe biden. that's the mystery in all of this, that the democrats and joe biden fail to provide that same type of leadership that president trump provided four years ago as a candidate. president trump kept his word. we have no idea what joe biden would do in a situation like this. pete: we are looking for the list. we are looking for hunter and a lot of things. indiana well-represented this morning as well as arizona. thank you all. we appreciate it? >> thanks, pete. pete: you got it as we mentioned earlier, i will be sitting down exclusive whether i president trump later today on his first interview on his supreme court pick it. will air all morning long tomorrow on fox and friends at 6:00 a.m., do not miss it. and now we are going to toss it over to jed who has a few additional headlines. jedediah: thanks so much, pete.

4:47 am
preparation? >> well, yeah. first of all, thank you for having us. you know, it is national preparedness month but if you think about it as your intro laid out. it's really been national preparedness year. there is, i mean, you know, if this is not a wake-up call for all of us to be prepared because threats can come in a lot of different ways. so the first thing you should do is know your area, know where you live, know what threats can impact your family, your home and then, you know, stay informed. work with your local officials on evacuation routes and so forth. and then one of the things that we all can do and should do is check on your neighbor. you know, a lot of people still aren't prepared for the threats. but ask your neighbor, hey, what do you do if this happened or that happened? i'm a big believer on checking in and helping your neighbor and in turn they will help you.
4:48 am
jedediah: one of the things we saw was building emergency kit. i don't have one as of right now. what should be in there. >> have you got to look at what do you need daily that is important to you? and one of the main things that we stress is, you know, if you take medications daily, please have, you know, those medications that if you have to evacuate that you will have. because in a lot of times the pharmacies and where you may get your medicines will be closed or impacted. so have those medicines. have some basic water and food non-perishable food. and then really what we ask, which is very difficult in a lot of cases to have cash on hand. have the ability to make sure that you have cash or if you can have cash to do that. and then make sure you know where you are going and communicate that with your friends and family so that you can be accountable to do it. jedediah: if you could just quickly let us know. so efforts that team rubicon does amazing work particularly during hurricane season. what are some of the recovery
4:49 am

4:50 am
court. >> like it's scary and definitely unsettling especially as a woman to hear that. >> and it was jim cotton, something like that? >> yeah, i guess similar to what other students said definitely. scared in a way, i think. >> yeah, there is only one little problem, president trump hasn't announced his pick yet. more on the millennial reaction oh, boy, that's coming up next.
4:53 am
4:54 am
definitely unsettling, especially as a woman to hear that. >> and it was jim cotton, tim cotton, something like that. >> yeah, i guess similar to what other students said, definitely. scared in a way, i think. >> the only problem is those interviews were done before amy coney barrett's name had even been rumored to be the pick. those were done on tuesday. cabot phillips is the editor and chief of campus reform. and he joins us now. okay. cabot, just help me understand. so those interviews were done before these students could have any idea hot potential nominee was, right? >> it was. yeah. and clearly the students were very scared about the pick even though it hadn't been made up yet. we saw during justin judge kava. there is not going to be fair. whoever the nominee was going to be posed as a racist and in this case dogma catholic whatever that means. spills out into the classroom.
4:55 am
students aren't told in class here are the potential nominees, here are the facts about them and make up your mind for yourselves. that would be education. they are getting indoctrination. it doesn't matter hot pick is you will have oppose them. whoever the nominee is antiwoman and in the words of the student scary. leaves students coming out already making their minds up for themselves. this video is what it looks like a generation robbed of the ability to think for themselves to think critically. that is going to have an impact at the polls in november as well. will: now that we understand this was done before any names were announced or even really rumored. let's go back and take one more look at another video of these students being asked about president trump's supreme court nomination. >> the last thing we need right now is trump basically ramming through someone who is, given his record is probably going to be unqualified hack. >> very scary for sure because i have been sighing a lot on social media roe v. wade might be kind of repealed. >> if the pick goes through,
4:56 am
that would be pretty devastating. >devastating. >> cabot i'm fascinated why and how these students get to this place. is it indoctrination absolutely i believe this is being taught to them or this climate we have in america where i haven't really read in on this yet but i'm already outraged. social media has shown me i should already be upset. >> twice the combination of the two. i would say the bigger element is the classroom. students are thought to trust everything their professors were saying and reported exclusively at campus reform how there is this constant trend of professors telling students the simple formula it's trump plus anything or anyone equals bad. and that formula is in students' minds whenever they hear his name. whenever anything political comes up. and we saw etherlyier in the year not just with the scotus pick pick but the state of the union. i asked what did they think of the state of the union address. it they said it was the racist thing they ever heard it was a week before it happened.
4:57 am
not on the facts but sadly what they're being told. will: feel your way through the issue don't think your way through the issue. truth doesn't matter it's how you feel. cabot phillips. campus reform.com. brian morgenstern coming up along with nancy grace and franklin graham coming up. priceline can save you up to 60% on top hotels. and when you save up to 60%, let's play! you're always a winner. you got... up to 60% off your hotel! >>but isn't that the only one? you're a winner! priceline. every trip is a big deal. i had moderate-to-severes rheumatoid arthritis. i've always been the ringleader had a zest for life. flash forward, then ra kept me from the important things. and what my doctor said surprised me.

5:01 am
holiday. the combination of it. you know, i'm from minnesota. i don't need the heat so a little bit of the cool weather is okay with me. jed, we just showed central park. it's hunting and fishing day. i believe you can fish in central park. tucker carlson confirmed that but you cannot hunt that i'm aware of. jedediah: wow, you cannot hunt. leave my little animal unless there alone. and i think about the seasons, too. that's a great question. i'm always inclined to say spring, but it rains too much. it just rains too much. i'm with you, pete. i'm going to say fall. there is a crispness in the air. it's not too cold and you get to look forward to not only thanksgiving but christmas being close, too. i will warn you all i typically do not sing christmas music early this year will be different and a lot of rudolph the red nose reindeer coming up soon so get ready. pete: how about now? jed not yet. it's too soon. pete: you said soon. it's soon. all right. we will be waiting for that will will sing backup i heard he has a great voice. will: you will find out.
5:02 am
pete: we will find out. america will find out whether will cain can belt out a tune. more on this later, we have big news. when we say big news sometimes it's not as big as we mean. this is huge news. the president will announce his supreme court nominee this evening. and sources tell fox news it will be judge amy coney barrett. what can judge amy coney barrett expect during her confirmation hearing if she is indeed the nominee? if we look at kavanaugh. if we look at what happened if you are the trump team or the person charged with lindsey graham sheparding this nomination through, what are you anticipating right now? not just kavanaugh it's clarence thomas. it's not just clarence thomas justin it's potential justice robert bork. not a partisan point to show. this has been a ugly fight every time a republican has been nominated or a republican has nominated someone to the supreme court. president trump. pete: that's true. will: president trump announcing he would be making this decision
5:03 am
today. did he it last night in newport news, virginia. >> we're going to be naming the nominee, hopefully we will be on that court for 50 years, 5-0. [cheers and applause] be on there for 50 years. the only thing i can tell you for sure is it will be a woman. if given the power of the radical left, will pack the supreme court with extremists, who will strike the words under god from the pledge of allegiance. pete: you know it's right. everything is at stake. that's why the left could be more rabid here replacing their favorite liberal activist judge. come with a playbook. this is how we want to play offense or defense. but then to use the sports analogy if you run into michael jordan or albert pujols or barry sanders, the playbook doesn't work the same way. you start throwing junk. in this case amy coney barrett is such a strong nominee personal background, a professional background. what kind of junk will they
5:04 am
bring? well, we brought out the videotape of 2017 how some democrat senators questioned amy coney barrett during her earlier confirmation hearing. watch. >> when we read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you. and that's of concern. >> do you consider yourself an orthodox catholic. >> i'm a catholic, senator durbin. orthodox catholic we kind of, as i said, in that article we just kind of use this as a proxy. it is not, to my knowledge, a term currently in use. if you are asking whether i take my faith seriously and faithful catholic i am. although i would stress that my personal church affiliation or religious belief would not bear in the discharge of my duties as a judge. jedediah: so these questions are insane. the fact that she had to defend her catholicism and by the way
5:05 am
remind folks on the left that regardless of my religion, that's not how you make decisions on the court. pete: she said that very clearly,you are right. jedediah: she did. and, will, to your point that it's always a tough battle for originalists, i think that's true. kavanaugh for me took things to the next level. we were sifting through high school yearbooks. it was insanity what that man was subjected to. so i think things are in a little bit of a different place now. things have gone to an unhinged place so to speak. when you look at social media, you see amy coney barrett being compared to the hand maids tale. it's bigotry and lunancy. anything is on the table now. i think post kavanaugh the left feels they can get away with it. for some reason that was tolerated. what that man was put through was disgusting and despicable to anyone who had a soul. it was insanity. and that's where we are right now. i don't know that we were prekavanaugh in the same place that we are post kavanaugh. will: i will say, this jedediah,
5:06 am
the instinct actual reaction of the left to come strong and hard at a potential supreme court nominee. not just kavanaugh. justice thomas called it a high tech leveraging. leverage lynching. it was awful what happened to justice thomas as well. if that happens to amy coney barrett 45 days out from an election has the potential to turn off more people than just you, jedediah, than just me it could have real backlash this close to an election. pete: if politics is your god as it is for the left, then a supreme court nominee is your super bowl. and when you are replacing your favorite supreme court justice in ruth goldberg the states are higher. that's why you get the i have vl and nationalists.
5:07 am
lovers of the constitution that's why there is so much enthusiasm for the potential pick of amy coney barrett because she has such a great background. we talked to three congressman earlier on the program, all of which made the case that she would be the right pick. watch. >> she is a real strong, powerful, smart woman that is going to, i think absolutely be the best spokesperson for the supreme court conservative values. i think there is nobody better. >> there are no questions about whether or not she would deliver on being the type of justice who will defend the constitution. >> her character is unassailable. she is bright. she is an intellectual. the attacks on her right now are simply religious bigotry or ad hominem attacks. nothing of substance going to be able to attack. i just hope that it's not nearly as vitriolic as the kavanaugh hearing. pete: you wonder if democrats can resist and when those nomination hearings happen, how
5:08 am
they try tread the needle on her faith. party more and more godless will be very interesting to watch. we will ask the man who gets to make that pick later on today. the president of the united states, donald trump, jumping down to washington, d.c. i will have a chance to sit down with him for the first interview about his supreme court justice pick. what went into the process. was it amy coney barrett? if not we are all shocked. quite an interview. donald trump fox and friends tomorrow morning. we will ask him about debate prep. your question is noted what has his prep been? be interesting to see what he says. jedediah: very curious. he is not a traditional politician and i have a feeling that his debate prep is not traditional. i don't think is he memorizing potential talking point response to questions. that's not my guess. >> there is a lid on it, jed,
5:09 am
there is a lid. jedediah: lid on it until 8:30 a.m. another topic that we talk about right now is the reopening of the country and how that is going to play into the election cycle, how the covid pandemic and handling by the president and administration local mayors, governors going to play into national election and local election as well. governor ron desantis is coming out, governor of florida, firing back at critics because he has decided to reopen restaurants and bars at full capacity and he has saved some pretty harsh criticism. one of the people that walls highly critical of him is san gave jay gupta chief medical correspondent. listen to what son jay had to say and we will talk about it. >> the idea of reopening when we are nowhere near containment. way too much viral transmission. saw what happened, had big spike
5:10 am
when they reopened. that's obviously a concern. wrong decisions as trying to bring this pandemic under control. will: let me tell you something depressing, jedediah, that narrative you just heard there from cnn is actually winning the day. if you look at polls, the governors who are polling the worst are governors like florida governor ron desantis. the ones that are pulling the best are governors like new york governor andrew cuomo. it's absolutely the inverse of what it should be of what is true. why can be honest with audiences about by cease and ideological leanings, that's in pursuit of telling the truth truth is governors like ron desantis done a better job. it's not 0% transmission at a rate. that's not the goal. it's to balance. the balance of this the
5:11 am
lethality of this disease. florida's death per 100,000, this is the simple truth. way better than places like new york. the truth is, governor ron desantis has done it about as good as can you in the united states. and he as you point out, jedediah, is he pushing back. here is what he had to say on the ingraham angle last night. >> a lot of them are ignorant about florida. i mean, we never closed down over the summer. he was talking about the sun belt spike. piece to the puzzle was this capacity limitations on the restaurant 50%. a lot of folks in that industry have had a really, really rough time. they have learned a lot about how to create a safe environment. i think they will be able to do it. we have to have a situation where individuals can make decisions about what makes sense for them. and if that's not something you are comfortable doing, no one is going to force you to do it, but i do think that people need to be free to choose. will: disservice that people have it backwards in terms of which governors have done the best and worse.
5:12 am
pete: see this that changes over time. so much fear gripping people and so much being jammed down people's throats. but you tweeted something i follow your twitter feed all the time. all three of us on this show under the age of 49 survival rate 99.98%. all the way up to th. will: all the way up to 7099.7%. pete: people who get covid. god bless ron desantis. all is he saying is i'm going to treat you like an adult. i will let you make your own choice and i'm not going to pick winners and losers. you have your own risk. will: those numbers are from the cdc. that's their new numbers. jedediah: keep in mind, this is how the media plays the game. cuomo was a disaster in new york. we all know the story about how the nursing home situation went down as a result of his lack of leadership. that gets no coverage when he is on interviews he doesn't get asked about that three quart tefers the time. the way the media decides to paint these people is often the way that the public receives them unfortunately live.
5:13 am
that goes for facts or lack thereof. that goes for the whole narrative. that's why people take such a severe issue with media bias. because it shades the story. it shapes election outcomes unfortunately. i think, pete there, will be a change of heart in some months to come as people feel the impact of a lot of these shutdowns more and start to question what should have been done. what should not have been done and have a lot more questions for these people in supposed positions of leadership. but we have got to get to some headlines for you now because protests are erupting across the country for a third straight night after the grand jury decision in the breonna taylor case. overnight, louisville police arrested 24 demonstrators for breaking curfew. and in new york, hundreds of protesters stage a sit-in on the brooklyn bridge, blocking traffic for nearly an hour. and across the country. in california, protesters clash with oak land police, throwing bottles at officers. the unrest comes as new body cam footage is released, showing the moments after an officer is shot

5:16 am
but not every tomato ends in the same kind of heinz ketchup. because you can't be everyone's favorite ketchup without making a ketchup for everyone. that cannot be extinguished. it rages on to give us a glimmer of what we can do, and of who we can become. because hope fuels opportunity. university of phoenix is awarding up to one million dollars in new scholarships through this month. yes, hope is alive and well. see what scholarship you qualify for at phoenix.edu.
5:18 am
will: a first alert. protests escalating across the country following the grand jury's decision in the breonna taylor case. fox news analyst and fox nation host lawrence jones was on the ground last night in brooklyn, and he joins us now. lawrence, tell us what you saw last night in new york. >> hey, good morning, will. last night was pretty peaceful. i was actually talking to my security detail and they said this looks probably the most contained protest in new york that we have been to so far. it wasn't any looting. there wasn't any harassing people that were eating. but there did come to a point where did they have a legal right to do something. so, we marched for about three miles with the protests. and when it got to the brooklyn bridge, organizers told the
5:19 am
people, i think it was about 1500 people marching, look. if you go to the left side, then you on the pedestrian way and you are in the safe. but if you go to the right, you are going to be on the actual bridge and you need to be prepared to be arrested. so, during the period of time that we were there, cops let them sit there and after about an hour or so, a lot of them were arrested. will: right. lawrence you and i have had private conversations i intend to have more conversations with you on and off the air. >> yeah. will: we both want to see progress made in this country as i think everyone does in race relations. it has to be based in th based e pursuit of the truth. the facts in some of these case does not get out. the center of many of the lies is one figure. it's an attorney. it's benjamin crump. he was the first man on the ground in ferguson who told us it was hands up, don't shoot. he was the first man around jacob blake's case told us blake was breaking up a domestic
5:20 am
disturbance. he also told us things that were not true with breonna taylor. what do we know about ben crump? he seems at the at the center of every one of these misunderstandings or lies in these cases. >> well, being a lawyer, will, you know that these criminal defense attorneys, their job is to represent their client. and to paint a narrative in the best interest of their clients. you know, i have been an investigator for criminal defense attorneys so i know that they have their objective. my job as an analyst and as a reporter on the ground is to look at every case differently. look at the facts there and provide analysis based on that case. so let me give you three of the cases real quick. george floyd was a clear and cut case. the state abused their power whereas you have the mike brown situation where even the police on the ground the community on the ground, and the obama justice department all ruled that that the narrative hands up, don't shoot wasn't necessarily true. and people in the community whereas the breonna taylor case i think there is more nuances in
5:21 am
that case from. a criminal standpoint, maybe they got it right. but when you look at the cases, you know, it may need to be some reform in the way those warrants are given. will: he gets to a microphone first and his lies have a real cost on the streets and in lives across this nation. we will talk more with, this lawrence. we have got to go. more fox and friends coming up. >> thanks, brother. will: yes. from prom dresses...

didn't know our names. and new york's attorney general wants the nypd to stop making traffic stops. latisha james says traffic stops for minor infractions often end in violence. her recommendation is aimed at officers who stop people for things like speeding and not wearing a seat belt. well, sixth avenue looks wide open go as fast as you want, jed. jedediah: thanks, pete. an investigation is ramping up involving stars in the hidden netflix show tiger king. dogs appearing to have picked up the scent of human remains near a florida lake house carol bass constituency missing husband who later declared dead in 2002 joe exotic claimed she killed her husband. claims to have nothing to do with his disappearance. nancy grace. this story is wild. i know have you seen it although, so you have probably seen things like this before. what do you make of this latest
5:26 am
pivot though with the dogs i have got to tell you all the all the murders, the homicides i have ever investigated or took to trial, i have never seen a trial that wasn't wild in some way at hand agencies that cadaver dogs picked up on the scent of human remains what i find convincing the proximity of where the dog hits to don lewis' lake house on the west side of the lake, i find that very, very interesting. subsequent dogs cadaver dogs. they are 100 percent. i watched this dog. i watched her response. they went back and forth over every time that is where she hit. have you got to be sensitive to the dog to understand when they are hitting.
5:27 am
she was hitting. another thing to think about is that very often i have found criminal nature. criminal, think about scott peterson for a moment. where does he dispose of his wife's body? his old fishing hole. people go where they feel familiar. where they think they can get away with something and not be detected. so here you are at don lewis' lake house where the killer has probably been before. and i find that convincing. jedediah: yeah, absolutely. this story, the twists and turns seem to be endless as always many of the cases that we bring you here to discuss. but i want to get to something that's really important. that is your book "don't be a victim." i'm fascinated by this book. you have been covering crime and you have such an expertise on crime. i have been watching you for years. really been a big fan of your work. now you are giving advice to people with respect to how they themselves can stay safe. you talk about online threats as well. we know we live in online world now where everything seems to be

happening online. tell us about your book and what people can hope to see in there in terms of helping their own personal safety. >> first of all, i want to thank you for having me on to talk about don't be a victim. and i also want to state upfront all of my proceeds are going to the national center for missing and equities plotted children. i find that at this time in our world, in our country, more than any other, people feel powerless. they feel like they don't have control over anything and everything is going crazy outside their home. but i won't be able to be afraid. i take every case i ever investigated every case i took to try. every case i ever covered, i talk to literally thousands of victims. this took me two years to come up with 350 plus pages of advice for you, not to scare you with crime stories but to empower you to give you the facts and knowledge to fight back against

will: today president trump will announce his third nomination to the supreme court. sources are telling fox news it will be judge amy coney barrett. lucas tomlinson joins us outside the supreme court as a bitter confirmation battle is expected in the senate. lucas? >> that's right, will. republicans say they have the votes to confirm amy coney barrett to the supreme court
5:34 am
expecting a bruising confirmation battle a far cry from 27 years ago when ruth bader ginsburg sailed through senate confirmation with a vote of 96-3. president trump says he will make it official this afternoon at 5:00 p.m. >> they say the biggest thing you can do is the appointment of judges but especially the appointment of supreme court justices. that's the single biggest thing a president can do. [cheers and applause] set the tone of the country for 40 years, 50 years a long time. >> he to the chicago course 2017. seven children and comes from a family seven. barrett was confirmed 55-43 with democratic senators tim kaine and joe manchin voting for her in 2017. barrett clerked for the late supreme court justice antonin scalia. she is devout catholic whose faith has been under fire from some democrats. barrett took some heat about her
5:35 am
catholic fate from dianne feinstein. the constitution protects barrett quote no religious test shall be be required forny any office. barrett will be the first supreme court nominee since ginsburg to at thi tip the ideo. six conservatives on the court and three liberals. republicans from a majority in the senate and can afford some defections might even pick up a senate democrat or two, guys. pete: lucas, thank you very much. appreciate it. to add on to that report, fox and friends is going to be at the white house today. i have got an opportunity to do a one-on-one interview with president trump. the first interview about his supreme court pick exclusively on fox and friends. it will air tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. so, guys, i have got an hour left on the show because i have to leave a little early to catch the train because you know you have got to do the covid test. if you are going to be close to the president. you will see it tomorrow morning.
5:36 am
jedediah: sounds good. we are looking forward to it. another big topic we are covering with respect to president trump is that in georgia he unveiled a new economic initiative aiming empowerment for black community throughout the country. >> i'm here today to announce a brand new plan to deliver more opportunity, more security, more fairness, and more prosperity to black communities. we call it the platinum plan. it's going to be something that people take about for a long time to come. will: former nfl running back and heisman trophy winner herschel walker introduced the president at the event yesterday and he joins us with more. herschel, thank you for being here. it strikes me that during a time we are talking about defunding the police and destroying so many things in america, shear plan, herschel, the platinum plan that i know tends to build things up for the black community. several, i mean business, financial investment. so many things that seem real opportunities. you can see it on your screen there, to really help the black community. what is your reaction, herschel?
5:37 am
>> well, you know, i was excited about it. you know, you are talking about $500 billion over four years. you are talking about jobs. you are talking about black-owned businesses. and this is something that the president wanted to do. it's got nothing to do with voting or anything else except this was the right thing to do. something that should have been done a long time ago with everything going on around this country, this president is still trying to work because you hear people cry. sort of like the voice for the voiceless. and i think that's what is so important and they unveiled that yesterday was absolutely incredible. pete: herschel, thanks for being here. we have seen a lot of athletes sounding off on politics. but there's a fresh -- not a fresh voice. he's been around for a long time. is he willing to speak truth and speak freely. charles barclay made comments about the black community and police. watch. >> i hear these fools on tv talking about defund the police
5:38 am
and things like that. we need police reform and prison reform and things like that. because you know who ain't going to defund the cops? white neighborhoods and rich neighborhoods. so, that notion they keep saying that i'm like wait a minute, who will black people supposed to call? ghostbusters? when we have crime in our neighborhoods? we need police reform. but, like i say, white people, especially rich white people, they are always going to have cops. we need to stop that defund or abolish the cops crap. pete: herschel, we have seen that same thing reflected in when you actually poll members of the black community they say i don't want the police to leave. your take? >> well, you know, charles is 100 percent correct. i don't want to call them fools but i think is he 100 percent correct because no one wants to defund the police. there are two sides to every story it. is sad that there was a death that was caused here. but people don't want to look at the other side. let's think of one thing. has anyone ever talked about blaming kenneth walker? he shot at the police?
5:39 am
did anyone ever say was he legal to carry a gun? that wasn't even his apartment that he was in. those are a lot of facts that people don't even want to talk about. you know, you talk about the lawyer that is instead of being proactive he is being reactive right now. he should have been proactive by saying that, you know, instead of these young men and women -- well, these young men that's being called killed by the police, before you go into that, let's see you cooperate with the police and then what i'm going to do is get you out of jail if you are innocent. not wait until someone has been killed and now you show up and now you want to say that the police are wrong because, you can't put your hand on the scales of justice. he mentioned that yesterday. and that do what he want to do. you know, the a.g. there in kentucky, you know, he made a decision by the law. he made decision by the law because that's what he is. he got that job for a reason. and i think the lawyer got to remember that as well. this a.g. is not out trying to do anything to hurt anyone u built on law and order.
5:40 am
we need law and order. >> charles barclay was right because you don't want to defund the police. let's also don't blame the police the police were doing their job they were doing what they were called to do and they were doing their job. jedediah: herschel a lot of aspects of that case unfolding calls for the grand jury to release more information. the public sentiment being very high on that right now. i actually want to ask you a question about votes though. because the republican party does have a problem with the african-american vote. he got i think 8% for the african-american vote. why is it so hard if on policy yesterday like defunding the police you have african-americans saying we don't wants to do that why is it so hard for republicans to then get african-americans to come out and vote for them? >> well, i think things are going to change this year. i think everyone is going to see a lot of african-american vote
5:41 am
is going to go toward republican. because i think some people are waking up. some people are being told the truth. you know, one thing that is so scary to me, some people don't wants to hear the true facts. the true facts are that this president here is a president that, you know, you keep saying the same thing over and over. he was the one that gave money to the historical black colleges. he was the one that gave the opportunity to jobs for the african-american community. this is what is so scary. think about this. in three and a half years, this president here helped to put 1.4 million jobs for african-americans. let's think about 8 years with the biden and obama was only 145,000. no, these are true fights. this is not something that i'm making up. and you know what's so strange is i'm not paid to say this. i'm paid to tell you the truth. and that's lord jesus christ that's what i'm trying to tell people. truth, guys, look at and it weigh. this we need law and order. this country was built on law and order. we know we have a constitution that some people in washington don't want to go by right now.
5:42 am
will: unfortunately heble. >> constitution holds this country together. will: unfortunately, herschel we are out of time. i appreciate it your calls for truth. i'm happy to be corrected if wrong kenneth walker was a legal gun owner. doesn't mean the shot didn't contribute to the outcome of the tragedy. in pursuit of getting all the facts right i do believe he was a legal gun owner. i'm happy to be checked on that. herschel, always appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> toss it over to rick reichmuth for the latest on the weather. rick? rick: guys, i will give you good news. we have had incredibly active hurricane season. take a look at this. we haven't been able to say this for a long time no. areas across the tropical atlantic that we are watching for development at least the next five days. we are still very much in the thick of hurricane season. we are past the peak and downward slide which is good news. we are still in that more active period. i think in probably the next five to seven days maybe we will start to see things pick up a little bit again. for now enjoy it. nothing going on. also take a look incredibly high
5:43 am

5:47 am
review when the federal government is finished with their review and says it's safe. pete: here to react is fox news medical contributor and author of "make america healthy again" friend of the show dr. nicole saphier. doctor, thanks for being here. walk me off the ledge, how responsible is it for a governor to say something like this? >> well, with all due respect to the governor who himself is under intense scrutiny for the way he and his public health officials have handles the covid-19 crisis. i don't think he has a very strong platform to stand on by coming out and questioning the integrity of the highly panel by the fda to evaluate the safety and efficacy of vaccine and other drugs. to be honest, pete, politicization of science including covid-19 has to end. it's irresponsible. it is dangerous. and we cannot have people promulgating fear when it comes to the vaccine operation warp speed has made tremendous
5:48 am
progress. yes, i will say the critics of the timing of it have some points. we do not want to rush a vaccine. we want to make sure we have at least two months of data following that second injection before an eua or approval is sought after. we also need to make sure we are reviewing to see which vaccine is the best. but that being said, pete, we have several vaccines. we have a lot of data. and i can tell you that the fda will do their due diligence. they will make sure that it works and that it is safe before they give their stamp of approval. we do not need a governor of a state who why should anyone trust him and his review of the vaccine when we have the highest qualified people working in these independent review boards for the fda. pete: telling people to stay locked perpetuity, schools, houses of worship. you mention facts and data. the cdc released this information very recently. here are the survival rates for age groups. almost all in the 90% range up
5:49 am
to 70 years old. these are people if they have gotten covid-19, the survival rate is above 99% for anyone under 69 years of age. how does an average person not look at that those numbers and say hey, i'm 50. i'm 40, i'm 30, i'm 65. why can't i choose to resume my life, accept those risk numbers while you tell me to walk around with a mask and not sit in a restaurant and not go to school or church. how does that add up? >> well, that's right, pete. we have to be careful when we look at those cdc numbers. although so the data comes from -- this is what we call the infection fatality rates. meaning they are taking that prevalence data. looking at how many people were likely expose to the verizon already and adding data with it. that data is coming on estimates from europe which doesn't necessarily equate to the united states. they are probably pretty similar. they also don't include people over the age of 80 which we know is extremely high risk.
5:50 am
pete: of course. sacred jed with that said we have said that the case or infection fatality rate is likely going to be under 1% for covid-19. that's what these numbers are saying. the truth of the matter is a high percent of people died early on because we did not know that this elderly were the most vulnerable. there were mishaps along the way. the elderly were not protected and we had hospitals overrun. that being said, going forward, we need to take this data, take this information and move on. we know we with open restaurants and schools and gyms. we can still do it in a safe manner while protecting the elderly. we do need to regain some level of normalcy while continuing to protect those who are vulnerable to covid-19. pete: if you want to stay credible on the meaningful stuff, don't make me do stuff based on a 0 .1 0.10 percent.

6:03 am
democrats have also demonstrated in both those cases but especially in brett kavanaugh how far they're willing to go to tear down a human being. what should the white house, what should amy coney-barrett be prepared for as we look at a nomination fight in the month of october? >> well if the pick by the president today is amy she needs to know what's coming at hurricane rita, i think she saw that in her first round when she was appointed to the federal bench a few years ago it was disgraceful that they attacked her for her catholic faith. that's disgusting it shouldn't happen, and if they try to go down that road again it's at their own peril. in the end people are tired of this politics of personal destruction where they find somebody that they just don't agree with philosophically so they try to destroy their character, they try to make up things about their character as we saw with justice kavanaugh , and if they try to do that again it'll back fire on them big time. i would recommend that they focus on what this is supposed to be about and that is what are the qualifications to be a judge
6:04 am
, amy has her own record and she's got an impecable record and so if they stick to that, i think this is where it should go but if not she's tough she's a tough person and again, whoever the president picks, this president has done a better job than anybody, any president i've ever studied on supreme court picks and he put that list out there, by the way. notice joe biden never even dare s put out a list. he's afraid of the public seeing kind of people he would put on the court and i think that's an important issue as well as we look towards this debate tuesday night. will: congressman you bring up the fact that joe biden hasn't put out a list of potential supreme court nominees should he be elected president and that's fascinating because it reveals a strategy we've talked about on fox & friends this morning a strategy of focus on president trump, don't put forth a policy or a message, rather, put forth president trump and hope you can point out his mistakes and in fact, some in congress on the other side of the aisle from you are suggesting carry that process out. carry that strategy out.
6:05 am
just skip the debate don't even indulge this is speaker nancy pelosi talks about that kind of idea listen to this. >> not that i don't think he'll be excellent. i just think that the president has no fidelity to fact or truth and actually in his comments the last few days, no fidelity to the constitution of the united states. he and his henchmen are a danger , with their comments, to our democracy so i don't want to give him, why bother. it doesn't tell the truth. will: there it is congressman, she's saying don't debate. by the way is this a coordinated strategy? let's just not put anything forward, no debate, let's just focus on trump. are we seeing a coordinated strategy here from the democrat? >> well they've been trying to hide joe biden in the basement for this entire campaign and it's not working you see donald trump out there with tremendous energy and tremendous enthusiasm , people love who he
6:06 am
stands for and fights for and he fights for those forgotten men and women that joe biden literally left behind when he was in the white house last time , as vice president, you know, we saw an evaporation of our middle class during joe biden. we saw all of our friends around the world felt abandoned by the united states. the bad guys got worse. china, russia, iraq got a nuclear weapon donald trump is bringing peace in the middle east. he brought countries together. he's standing up to russia and standing up to china right now when they won't even stand up to china, and so i can see why they want to hide him in the basement and then nancy pelosi look, if that was their candidate i can see why they wouldn't want him to debate but he is going to have to show up and the american people demand that and they want to talk about the vision for the future. donald trump has a great vision and that's why people show up by the thousands to see him. you don't have that problem with joe biden. people aren't showing up because nobody can tell you what he really stands for what they can tell you is the people around him are very much of the socialist wing of the party
6:07 am
that's taken over, and that's not where our country wants to go we're rioting the violence, socialism, it's not where america is. jedediah: you know, congressman its been two very different campaigns, you've had president trump we've seen on the ground in many states, florida, georgia , virginia the list goes on doing these rallies, people getting excited, crowds turning out, and then you see joe biden on the other side, there's been a lot of virtual events you have these getting called sometimes 8:00-9:00 in the morning and it seems as though the biden camp decided they are just going to do less and shield joe biden as much as possible and hope for the best. the president actually weighed in on those and what the biden camp strategy may be in virginia take a listen and then we'll get your reaction. president trump: you have joe biden representing this country. >> [booo] president trump: and you know, they say "we're going to put a
6:08 am
lid on it" and every day, early in the morning they say joe, joe , i mean, joe biden, sleepy joe, he's put a lid on it what's that mean? he's not working today. this guy takes more days off. you have to have a president that's going to work his [bleep] off in this country. >> [applause] president trump: you need a very energetic president. jedediah: yeah, i mean, this made me laugh when i watched it last night, but when you really think about it, it's a little scary that you would call a lid, you have someone running for president and beyond 8:00 in the morning they've decided they're not going to take any questions this is really bizarre stuff we're see ing. >> i've never seen anything like it. i think the people of america, they want and need a president whose going to be able to show up up to work for them every single day and the thing you could say about donald trump is clearly he's got a strong record and building a great economy and he's going to build a great economy again and confronting covid and we're on the brink with four different major international drug
6:09 am
companies in the final stage of the fda testing for vaccine because of president trump's leadership but the one thing i see the most when i'm around this president is his unbelievable energy. hi just doesn't stop. he goes every single day. i don't know if he sleeps he just works all the sometime and he fights for those hard working families of this country and with joe biden the contrast has never been sharper on both style , attitude, energy and of course ultimately on philosophy. freedom versus government- controlled socialism. all of that's on display, and will be on display at this debate and we need to have all three debate, i think we will because if joe biden tries to duck any of them the american people won't put up with that but look he's been debating for 47 years this is part of what joe biden has done. he will i'm sure go out and throw every accusation under the sun at president trump but president trump is as good as it gets going out there fighting for what he believes and laying out his vision, he's done great things for this country, let's keep this progress going, and let's make america great again,

jedediah: it is time for your news by the numbers, first 100%, that's how much burglaries have increased in one san francisco neighborhood. police data shows nearly 400 break-ins in the park district this year. that's more than double the number in 2019. >> and next, $28 million, that's how much more joe biden spent on
6:24 am
tv advertising this week than president trump. advertising analytics says biden 's biggest purchase was in phoenix and the president in tampa and finally, nearly half a million dollars, that's how much this tea pot sold for at an auction, and the pot is believed to be from an 18th century chinese emperor with only two others like it in the world. that's a lot of money. pete: a garage find, right there the defund the police movement gaining traction in major cities and in political spheres so what impact is it having on our brave men and women in blue? will: well to answer that question i had an opportunity to sit down with the sheriff whose changing his party affiliation from democrat to republican, because of the anti-police sentiment. he's not the only one whose making that shift. >> westmoreland county sheriff james albert has been maying changes in his department since taking over in january. >> we have definitely added
6:25 am
training. >> he's updating the design of his department patch. don't tread on me doesn't seem like the symbol of a life long democrat. >> well that's why i'm a republican now, [laughter] >> he's modifying his political party going from a democrat which he ran as , to a republican. >> i always considered myself a conservative democrat and as time went on and the party moved to the left, i started to see i was more in line thinking as a republican. >> his more than 40 year career in law enforcement, sheriff albert stuck to the blue side of the aisle. >> when you were detective how did you vote? >> the democratic party. >> when you ran for district judge what ticket did you run on >> democrat-republican. you can cross-file. >> when you ran for city council? >> the democratic ticket. >> and when you ran as sheriff? what ticket did you run on? >> democrat. >> how many years were you a democrat? >> all of my life, until this past monday. >> the sheriff shift appears to have been embraced by colleagues including the department's union
6:26 am
president. >> did it concern you, his move >> no he's very open. very pro-union, and very much conservative. >> the westmoreland county is in the arm of the pennsylvania courts and they also act as back ups to the local police departments like when police brutality hit the state. >> in the past few months with all of the goings on and the news media, with the protests, the riots, the looting, burning, assaults on law enforcement, and the silence of the democratic party was deafening. will: at least seven sheriffs across the nation have switched their political party since 2017 , and sheriff albert says he wouldn't be surprised if more make the move. >> i received a number of phone calls from sheriffs across pennsylvania, and they notified me, some of them have, that they are switching from the democrat to the republican party also beings and i think it's happening often. >> so could the pennsylvania sheriff's party switch be an indicator for how this swing
6:27 am
state may vote in november? >> i believe that pennsylvania will vote for president trump. will: you're a life long democrat in pennsylvania, were you always skeptical of joe biden? >> i think more recently. i thought he was a pretty good candidate, but that was some years ago, he's alluded to the fact that cutting funds for police, and so i'm very skeptical of biden and harris. i will support president trump again. will: why do you think he's changed? >> the party itself has moved to the left and he's kind of moved along with them. will: you've said something similar about your own choice, your own move, to become a republican. >> i didn't leave the democratic party, it left me will: and we've reached out to the pennsylvania democratic party for comment but they have not yet responded. jedediah, i think what's interesting here is not just one sheriff's move from democrat to republican. not just one life long democrat moving from democrat to republican, but we're reaching a tipping point, i think, for many
6:28 am
out there specifically when it comes to protesters and riots and law enforcement the question is how many people will that tipping point sway? jedediah: yeah, that's right i mean, you spoke to a sheriff in pennsylvania and that's important but the larger picture is how many people out there who are inclined to register with a party, have just begun to associate the gop with security, with safety, and with sanity. i mean, defunding the police is insane. it's off the rails, and i think there are a lot more reasonable people out there than we even realize and they may just be sitting saying if i have to align myself with a party if i'm so inclined to do so there may only be one way to go at this point given the direction that the democratic party has gone in. pete: you've given me no choice i never thought of myself as a republican but because we're the leftist like the supreme court picks too, will. republicans and conservatives consistently say we want to follow the constitution. the left is always a progress ever-moving target further left. joe biden can't show his list
6:29 am
because it would show his hand. same thing here. once the left reveals itself, common sense guys like that sheriff that you interviewed are like i'm just not in for that it's pretty cool. well done. will: thank you. jedediah: yeah, and coming up president trump and joe biden facing off on the debate stage, just three days away, so how is the president preparing for the show down? white house deputy press secretary brian morganstern has the play book and that's coming up, next. >> ♪ ♪ your journey requires liberty mutual.

6:35 am
honored to be able to put forth a nominee who will be putting the constitution first, and the fundamental rights of americans first, and for some reason, that is a controversial notion to the left, which should be very troubling to all americans, so the president is honored to be able to do it, as he has said next to sending troops into harm's way nominat ing supreme court justice may be the most important thing the most consequential thing that a president can do, so it'll be a really historic day at the white house, i myself am honored just to be able to be there, to play my very small role. i think the rest of us would say the same, so we look forward to introducing that person to the american people and to them getting to know that person. jedediah: yeah, brian it's definitely a big day and we'll be staying tuned, tune in at 5 p.m. to see what the president has to say and another big topic is the debate first presidential debate just three days away and something that's always interesting to me is what
6:36 am
president trump's debate prep is actually like, as we all know he's an interesting political figure, he's not a typical politician, what does he actually do in terms of prep, right now, to gear him up for that? >> well the most important prep is how he has served the american people in the most transparent way in history over the last three and a half years and he's created this robust record of job creation, of economic growth, of national security wins, of replacing endless wars with peace deals, and now, with the most robust response to an unprecedented global pandemic really that we could ever imagine the most robust mobilization of our country since world war ii so the american people know president trump and they know what to expect and know that he's a strong leader and in terms of debate prep i'm sure we'll be firing some mock questions at him and stuff but there's only so many times that you can pretend to be joe biden and shout "malarchy" at somebody
6:37 am
and that's the president dog his job and that is the most important prep. will: brian we don't know for sure but we anticipate the joe biden strategy will be to focus on president trump. kind of coinsides with this idea of hanging back, hanging out in the basement, and not hitting the campaign trail making it about your opponent so i would imagine on tuesday night you're going to be talking about the president's record. how does the president plan to deal with that? joe biden kind of on the offense a being tariffing the president 's record putting the president in a position to play some defense where he's normally playing offense. >> well the president will certainly play offense, and the fact is that last administration where biden was vice president, of course, had an abyss mall record on job creation, on national security on managing a pandemic, so he doesn't really have any legs to stand on and the president has a remarkable record, not just of creating growth and opportunity and security for typical
6:38 am
constituencies that you might associate with him but really for all of the american people, and he has done outreach we saw him yesterday speaking with the african americans community, he's been speaking with the hispanic community and asking all-times of americans and this is part of his personality talking to everybody , what do you need, what the can we do better and he responds and that's why we've seen such a great track record over the last few years, so he is well-prepared and raring to go and i think we'll see some great television. pete: brian morgenstern you'll have a busy day today thank you for taking a moment to be with us we appreciate it. >> my pleasure, great to be with you. pete: thank you, brian and i want to thank brian for not stealing the exclusive that i have by telling us who the pick is because i'm headed now, down to washington d.c., for the exclusive first interview with president trump on his supreme court pick right there at the white house that'll air tomorrow beginning at 6:00 a.m. right here on fox & friends , don't miss it. will: you don't want to miss that. pete: and guys i am literally
