"fox & friends" starts right now. >> white house doctors cleared the president to return to the trail by saturday. >> if we have enough time to put it together, we want to do a rally in florida saturday night. >> thi dissociation from reality would be funny if it weren't so deadly. come here tomorrow, we will be talking about the 25th amendment. >> joe biden dismissing another question about packing the courts. >> court packing when the election is over. look, i know it's a great question, and i don't blame you for asking. >> hurricane delta bearing down on the gulf coast. >> if ther there is any good nes it's weakening and weakening on land. >> dozen people pressing charges

will insurrection. >> down to the 5. brady's pass is broken up, incomplete. ends up on top. ♪ don't do me like that. ♪ don't do me like ♪ baby, i love you, baby. no, no, no. ♪ don't do me like that. ♪ don't do me like that. >> steve: as you just saw on the "fox & friends" cold open as we call it where we play all these snippets of things that happened yesterday, there were like five lead stories in there that would be a lead story that would dominate the entire day but things are going so fast right now with 25 days before the election, ladies and gentlemen, in the next three hours we promise to tell you everything about those things and so much more. >> ainsley: yeah, including it looks like we are not going to have a second debated, right, brian? >> steve: well, maybe. >> brian: i'm going to make a decision a little bit later.

>> ainsley: no. the commission says we are sticking with virtual and the president says he is not showing up and biden is planning with some with abc. >> steve: the commission says if joe biden and the cleveland clinic sign off on the thursday debate it can go. but right now it's just up in the air. >> brian: looks like there will be a third one. we'll see. we saw frank baron cough on with martha last night. >> ainsley: he is with the commission. >> brian: didn't want to overshadow the vice presidential debate. he thought we would overshadow the analysis of the vice presidential debate which was yesterday 7:30 the news came out. meanwhile 6 million of you have already voted it just doesn't matter to quote that great phrase from meatballs that run away hit that bill murray never gets enough credit for. >> steve: brian continues to live in the 1970s as we all do. why not in happier times. >> ainsley: dress was pretty snazzy though. no '70s.

>> steve: president trump says he could head back onto the campaign trail as well as as tomorrow. >> president plans to take a covid test later today to prove it. he also h. plenty to say in an interview with our own sean hannity. >> i think i'm going to try doing a rally on saturday night. if we have enough time to put it together. incredible what's going on. i feel so good. they found very little infection or virus if any. >> late thursday the white house released a new memo from the president's physician dr. sean conley says the president has responded, quote, extremely well to treatment. and the doctor believes the president can hold events again starting on saturday. meantime, don't expect to see a face-to-face debate between the president and joe biden next week. the commission on presidential

debates says it won't back down from its push to have the candidates meet virtually for a town hall. >> doctors. as you know the cleveland clinic has been advising us throughout. they went along with this decision. we want to make sure that everyone is safe. and we're going to go the hard way. not take a chance. >> the president rejected the idea of a virtual debate almost instantly. joe biden took a different approach. this is what he had to say yesterday. >> we set the date. i'm sticking with the date. i'm showing up. i will be there. in fact, if he shows up, fine. if he doesn't, fine. >> biden halls now scheduled a televised down hall on abc for the same day as the debate. today biden, he's going to be campaigning out west to go to las vegas this morning. as for president trump is going to hold that potential rally, is he suggesting florida and maybe a trip to the battle ground state of pennsylvania, guys, next week. so stay tuned. steve, ainsley, and brian back to you guys.

steve: bring in joe concha, media reporter for the hill. joe, you almost need to diagram what's going on with this debate. it may or may not happen next thursday who knows? what we do know for sure is the fact that the commission decided to go ahead and make it virtual without talking to the campaign for october the 15th, which is way past the 10 days that the cdc says that the president should quarantine after first showing symptoms. so, it kind of looks to a lot of people like it was a gift to the other joe. joe biden. >> steve, the commission on presidential debates has not done well here in terms of basically almost everything. the next moderator, at the debate you are talking about, which was supposed to be for october 1569. now who knows if it happens. steve scully, okay, he interned for the biden campaign. if i'm picking -- if i'm picking a moderator i'm pretty sure i don't pick the person who once

worked in any capacity for any of the candidates. if he interned for the trump campaign i would be saying the same exact thing. at one point last night and this is very telling a tweet from steve scully and i'm not sure if he knew that he was tweeting or that he was sending a text so to speak or a direct message. here's what he had to say. all right. why is the -- i'm sorry, he asked should i respond to trump? and he wrote to this it anthony scaramucci who is now one of president's most staunch critics. why is he talking to anthony scaramucci? why is he asking should i respond to trump? that's a very bad thing? it's very easy here, steve. you move this debate back to october 22nd. you move the third debate, which was scheduled for that day back to october 29th because you have time. steve: the commission says, joe, the commission says they will not do that the last debate will be nashville on the 22nd according to the commission. but who knows.

>> right. but the election is november 3rd. so why not just move the debates back one week each and everybody is happy in the biden campaign won't agree to that. if you do a virtual debate, here's the problem. there are many people out there -- i am not in this camp. i want to be very clear about that who think if it's virtual then, therefore, joe biden will have a chance to cheat in some way, shape or form with a teleprompter with an ear piece with being coached in some way, shape, or form. i don't think that would happen because i think at least the debate commission would make sure that doesn't happen. but, you give this whole suspicion that this thing is fixed somehow. and after what i just telling you about steve scully the next debate moderator, it's a legitimate criticism. i don't think it's valid but, again, we have to at least have the american people believe that the election will be fair. the debates will be fair. but here's the problem. joe biden agreed to a town hall on abc on october 15th. that was the original date for

the debate. look at what happened at the last two town halls for joe biden. cnn held one two weeks ago. steve: infomercial. >> 16 questions of joe biden, knock three by republicans. 13 by democrats. if i'm an objective news organization i'm pretty sure i go 8-8, maybe in terms of party that asks the questions. in terms of the voters and affiliation. then at nbc a couple days ago, steve, you had undecided voters. it was billed as. the problem is two of those voters are on msnbc talking about how they were already going to vote for biden. you have other people at that debate or at least that town hall on their social media pages literally with photos up of biden-harris and how they are going to vote for them. no one trusts the town halls either. trust is gone in terms of the debates, in terms of the town halls. our institutions, i swear, they are broken at least the media is supposed to be one that holds those institutions true. it's not happening at this

point. ainsley: yeah. the commission did say that they didn't want to have this debate because so many people had tested positive and quarantined that surround the president, even though he might be clear for the five days, they were worried about other people, which is a valid reason. all right. so this is the front cover of the post this morning. it says she's cuckoo spelled like coup, a coup. she wants to introduce a bill evaluating the president's fitness using the 25th amendment. here she was yesterday. >> i think that the public needs to note health condition of the president. there is one question that he refuses -- they refuse to answer. when was -- before he got the virus, and admitted to it, when was his last negative test? when was his last negative test? to make a judgment about the actions that were taken after

that? tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow come here tomorrow. we're going to be talking about the 25th amendment. but not to take attention away from the subject we have now. ainsley: we're going to go there today. 25th amendment says if the president is unable to discharge his powers the vice president shall immediately assume the powers. here is mark levin reacting and we will get your reaction on the other side. >> let me tell you what she is going to do. we are going to set up a commission. we are going to pass a bill in the house to set up a commission with experts to look at this president, the medicines that he is taking. but it's not the law because the senate is not going to pass it and the president is not going to sign it. she is setting up nothing. she is doing a fan dance. this is another phoney nancy pelosi drama act three and a half weeks before the election. ainsley: joe, what is your reaction? >> mark levin is 100 percent correct. obviously if she is bringing this up, right, and she says i don't want to be the focus of

what we're talking about. of course it is. if i'm a reporter covering that press conference or any news organization afterwards the only thing i hear is 25th amendment and we're going to be talking about that tomorrow. and the bottom line is that, look, the president's doctors need to answer that question; however, they need to tell us whether he has had a negative test or not. i mean, that's very important. again, we are only at, what, october 9th. if we want to have these debates on october 15th. that's plenty of time for the president to test negative. but, speaking of not answering questions. joe biden just yesterday would not answer if he would pack the supreme court; in other words, add additional justices to it. stothe point where it looks likn nfl roster. he said i'm not going to answer it now i'm going to ad answer it after the election. i'm paraphrasing. that should be the focus of every news organization. that fundamentally changes the country if you changed third branch of government in terms of the supreme court. not a lot of people talking

about that last night i noticed on other channels,ing which that should be the number one story right now guys. brian: there is some outrage from the other networks. jonathan karl of nbc doesn't make my sense. cbs this is just a cop out. "the washington post," can he really hold this answer for 26 days. jonathan swan i'm not sure i have seen a politician explicitly tell you i'm not telling you what i think until you vote for me, it's outrageous. basically saying he will do it. just understand he will do it. and they're going to add states. and they are going to change the look of the country by getting rid of the filibuster. just understand you might not like president trump but are you willing to vote for a total change of america's political structure? that's really what you are voting for. don't kid yourself. joe, thanks. >> thank you, brian. and i was only talking about people on tv by the way. good examples of people that report in general. got to go guys, thanks so much. brian: to an extreme weather center. get this the gulf coast bracing

for impact from hurricane delta. expected to make landfall this afternoon with light threatening conditions. casey stegall "fox news live" lake charles which is still recovering from hurricane laura 8 weeks as. casey? >> good morning, a recovery that is still very, very fresh. hurricane laura hit this region and devastated it six weeks ago and six weeks later, look at that back there you still have trees on cars, you have piles of debris littering the roadway, even some downed power lines, still, if you can believe that. now hurricane delta is closing in on almost the exact same spot, making a very similar path. a landfall is forecasted for this evening in southwest louisiana near cammeron, louisiana, which is about 50 miles or so to the south of us as a category 2 storm. dumping up to 14 inches of rain in isolated places and bringing up to 11 feet of storm surge. along portions of the coast.

mandatory evacuation orders across southwest louisiana jamming highways as tens of thousands are packing up and getting out of harm's way yet again. >> get ready, hope for the best. hunker down, that's all you can do. we have lucked out twice this year so, you know. >> my wife and i don't want to be put in any kind of danger. we will board up the house as best we can and get out of town. >> at this point, nearly 7,000 people remain in hotels evacuated from hurricane laura. 7,000. so, in about 24 hours' time, we are going to see those numbers exponentially rise after delta makes landfall. back to you. steve: all eyes on the gulf. casey, thank you very much. >> yeah. steve: all right. it is about a quarter after the top of the hour on this friday and jillian joins us now. jillian: family of a teenager shot and killed by police is regard at overnight protest.

alvin kohl's mother and sister spoke at the demonstration before police started enforcing the your do you in wauwatosa, wisconsin. will the officer shot and killed him during a pursuit. kohl pointed a gun at police before they shot him. the 17-year-old's family is now filing a federal lawsuit. the fbi stopped the plot to kidnap michigan governor gretchen whitmer. they planned to storm the capitol and kidnap the governor and put her on trial for treason. president trump responding to the claims overnight. >> she is complaining but it was our justice department that arrested the people that she was complaining about. it was my justice department that arrested them. but, instead, she goes and does her little political act and she keeps her state closed. jillian: 13 people are charged in the alleged plot. six of them are facing federal

charges. this just in, the united nations world food program wins the nobel peace prize. the program was nominated for its efforts to fight global hunger. it helped nearly 100 million people last year. president trump was also nominated for the award after working on his stark middle east peace deal. thursday night football a late field goal giving the bear as one point lead over the buccaneers. tom brady making a rare mental mistake on the final drive. watch. >> fourth down and 5. brady pass is broken up, incomplete. and the chicago bears are going to take over. >> after that inplease, brady holding up four fingers appearing to think it was third and 5. not fourth and five. brady says he was focused on making the big play instead of getting the first down. bears win 20-19. yikes. ainsley: that's a big mistake.

brian: you don't hit your peak in sports until 45. steve: brian, 45. ainsley: is he allowed to make a mistake, i guess. jillian: maybe not on the final play. ainsley: thank you so much, jillian. 16 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up the two isis beatles set to be arraigned today on charges of murdering americans held hostage. president trump's former national security adviser h.r. mcmaster is here to react coming up next. pain says you can't. advil says you can.

♪ brian: two suspected isis militants known as the beatles facing life in prison an the doj killed them with killing four american hostages torturing them first by the way. the terrorists are expected to be back in court for

arraignment. joining to us react president trump's former national security adviser author of great new book battle ground retired general h.r. mcmaster. welcome back. congratulations on the book and also bringing these guys to justice. how bad are they. >> these are some of the most heinous people on earth, brian. these are people who want to murder our children. they are the enemies of all humanity. they have inflicted tremendous humanitarian crisis on people of the region. and their goal. their goal is to continue this jihadist terrorist war against all civilized people's. brian: so they were using electric shocks. they were putting in stress positions. making our guys fight each other. all types of torture before of course they killed them in the name of religion. now we put them in a federal court. do you worry that we are giving them too good a treatment? don't they belong in a military

venue? >> i would prefer to see them in a military tribunal. these are enemy combatants. when i say enemies they are enemies of all humanity. they are people who use a perverted interpretation of religion to justify their criminal acts against mostly muslims but, as you mentioned, against americans, too. they need to go away forever in whatever venue and there will be a conviction in a federal court, i believe, certainly. but i think we ought to try to make these military tribunals work because this war is not going away. these enemies in r. not going to stop in murderous campaigns against us. brian: as we give them defense attorneys and brand new clothes and a fresh shower it bothers me. just our system, i guess. i don't know if they belong this that system. the president of the united states announced we will have more troops out by christmas. i think we are down to 2500. meanwhile, we are still talking to the taliban. shouldn't the decrease in troops be linked to conditions gore

based proof in how the taliban are acting. >> what i'm concerned, about we gave too many concessions in afghanistan in a strange way we seem to have partnered with the taliban who are enter twinsd with these terrorist organizations against the afghan government who is fighting to retain the freedoms that they earned in 2001 fighting alongside us after the brutal rule of the taliban they were subjected to from 1996 to 2001. brian: in your books battle grounds you talk about some of the challenges in the world today. you couldn't have predicted, i don't think, this reign of peace in the middle east in truce with israel. how important is this moment as you seba rain possibly oman could be sudan and others? united arab emirates falling in line with israel against iran? >> this sim men'sly important, brian. this is a recognition that the

real threat to security, stability in the region is the iran's 40-year long proxy war against the great satan, us, the little satan israel. and the arab monarchies. what i love this, brian, is name too. the abraham accords. we are all people of the book. the jihadists terrorists want to make this a war of religion. what this says is these are the enemies of all civilized people it. helps in connection with checking iran's campaign to have hegemonic influence across the region. it also isolates these terrorists from any form of ideological support. brian: you twongt great lengths not to politicize this book. i do have to ask you this, i thought about you when joe biden said i want to get back into the iranian deal and kamala harris says the world is more dangerous now you saw that deal. you saw what was happening. you came into a new administration. and that was one of the things you did. do you wish we would get back in the iranian deal? >> no. it would be a huge mistake to

try to turn the clock back to 2016. the iran nuclear deal was a political disaster masquerading as a diplomatic triumph. and what it did is it gave iran all the benefits of being welcomed back into the international community. huge payoffs up front. the relief of sanctions. and what did they do with those profits because it's the iranian state that controls these businesses that were benefiting from contracts and letters of agreement is they funded this four decade long proxy war against us in a way that intensified their actions. from, you know, from lebanon, which we see a state that's in free fall in large measure because of what iran has been doing in the region. and what iran is doing, brian, they are fueling the cycle of you recall religious conflict to keep the arab world weak and immeasured in conflict so they can put a proxy army on the border of israel. it's important for us to pursue -- continue to pursue this isolation of iran and the sanctions that constrain the

resources available to them. brian: i worry we are not. so much progress has been made. i just hope it's not undone. general, congratulations on your book. appreciate it? >> thanks, brian. great to be with you. brian: still ahead our next guest was in the audience at this week's vice presidential debate and a special guest of mike pence. >> laura westbrook is with us tonight in new yor salt lake ci. her salon was burned to the ground by rioters and looters. brian: laura is still trying to rebuild she joins us with an update next. with unitedhealthcare medicare advantage plans,

steve: let's take you back to a couple months ago after the arrest of george floyd in minneapolis that your salon was three days away from reopening and rioters and looters torched your place, right? >> yes. yes, they did. >> and i was reading this morning that apparently you had spray painted or somebody had spray painted on the outside of your salon black owned. in hopes that that would help, right? >> yes. steve: well, what happened that night? >> >> i get a call that my place is on fire. i had like two buildings there, and when i get there, it was just up -- i mean just fire. fire everywhere. everywhere. just blazing. steve: right. and pretty much completely destroyed. and now they -- they demolished it, the city did, and sent you a bill for how much? >> it's over 200,000.

>> do you have that money? >> no, i do not. no, i do not. steve: it's going to cost you a million dollars and that is your dream, to reopen the salon that has been in your family for decades. >> yes, yes, yes. after the rioting and looting and torturing your place you had the governor, you had amy klobuchar. they came because there were tv cameras there. and what did they do when they were talking to you about trying to get balk in business? >> we are going to help you. we're going to get you rebuilt you know, don't worry, they came by it was like a drive by. steve: they were there because there were tv cameras, floor raft. that was four months ago. and what have they done for you since? >> nothing. zero. zero. nothing. steve: so last month i understand ivanka trump and the vice president both went to the

site of your business and what did they tell you? they told me they are going to get my business rebuilt get it up and running. the vice president told me don't worry. you're going to be rebuilt. i'm going to make sure you rebuild. he told me that on wednesday night, too. not to worry. he is going to make sure that i get back up running. so, you know, just waiting. and i'm sure he will do it. i'm very sure that the vice president is going to do something. steve: well, because, you know, you have not received any loans, no grants. >> no. steve: nothing from the state. the people, your local leaders all came and said oh, don't worry. we are going to take care of this and now we are five months later and nobody did. i can understand why you would -- if the vice president of the united states says we are going to help you, that's all you got. >> that's all i have right now.

that's all i have. his word. steve: for the politicians that came outside your shop in the wake of it getting torched and they said we're going to help. what would you like to say to them on this friday morning? when i tell them why don't you keep your word you told me you would be there for me and you have not did anything -- that was in june when i saw you, i have not seen or heard from you since. and i'm really devastated. i'm upset. i'm very angry. steve: we would all be feeling exactly the same thing. floor remarks i'm sure have you been watching the tv and people on tv to describe things what happened that night as there are peaceful protesters were they very peaceful when they came to your place? >> no, they was not. >> no, they was not.

they was mean protesters, bad, very bad. steve: i know people they started a go fund me page for you. and if people are interested in donating, go to foxandfriends.com, our website. and we will link. what would you like to say to everybody who is trying to help you right now? >> right now i am so grateful, i'm so thankful for what you have done, all the supports. i thank you so much. but i just need a little more just to, you know, to get me going. this is not enough what i have, and if you could, give, please go to flora's hair design to my go fund me page and please help me, please. thank you. steve: all right. well, flora, we are all thinking about you and all the other business owners who are in the same boat. it's a terrible situation. thank you. i know you've had a big week being with the vice president at the debate earlier and we thank you very much for getting up on this friday morning. >> thank you for having me. thank you. steve: good luck to you. all right.

there you go. meanwhile, first it was russia, then it was impeachment. now house speaker nancy pelosi is thinking about using the 25th amendment to remove the president from office. congressman steve dislees scalise says it's a joke. he is going to say that live next. every emergen-c gives you a potent blend of nutrients so you can emerge your best with emergen-c. i remember herwho was because she had a bracelet that had the names of her children. she asked me, 'doctor, am i going to be okay?' and i could not give her the answer that i wanted to give her. there is no excuse for why we don't have this

under control at this point. joe biden listens to medical experts. he actually has a plan that does the things that we should have been doing many months ago. and joe biden is not going to let his ego get in the way of fighting the disease. ff pac is responsible for the content of this ad.

we have so much destruction already along the coast that it's just going to add salt to a wound. really terrible. devastating situation for parts of southwest louisiana. let's take a look at it already getting wind gust news excess of 33 miles per hour for galveston, texas not only southwest louisiana, central louisiana but parts of southeastern texas well getting battered by heavy rain and winds and heavy strong high waves as well as storm surge in some areas just east of the center of circulation. 7 to 11-foot storm surge. this is going to be a dangerous situation, a life threatening situation for an area that is already devastated by several storms this season. there's the track. again, a major hurricane. we're expecting it to weaken as it comes on land. again, this is just about 40 miles away from the center of where laura came ashore. so if you can just imagine that all of these homes are already partially damaged, this could

actually just devastate this area even more than that so, storm surge, of course, potentially devastating for this area. life threatening storm surge, upwards of a foot of rainfall, hurricane force rains for a duration of hours and then it's going to quickly move across the mississippi and tennessee river valley this weekend bringing heavy rainfall and those winds but i can't stress this enough. already a bad situation but the fact that it's impacting an area already just so devastated from the last storm system. flash flooding is going to be imminent and then we can also see some tropical tornadoes. bottom line here, steve, anxiously and brian, just a terrible situation for all of these vulnerable areas were hit so hard just weeks ago. back to you. brian: thanks. do you know who knows those areas very well house minority whip steve scalise. congressman, each hurricane brings its own challenges. what else your greatest worry about w. this one? >> well, first, good morning. good to be back with you.

our prayers are with the people of southwest louisiana. when i look at lake charles when you look at the fact they are still recovering from hurricane laura and here we go again removing some of the debris that's still on the ground yesterday to try to clear up. so debris from laura as this storm approaches. every storm you take seriously. but, when you are on the healings of recovering from a major storm just a few weeks ago, it's a double blow to especially the people of lake charles. we pray for everybody in the direct path of this hurricane. steve: congressman, we want to ask you about your colleague across the aisle, nancy pelosi. she is suggesting that later today she is going to be thinking about some sort of legislation to create a commission on presidential capacity perhaps to try to invoke the 25th amendment. she says the president who has taken medicine for covid, the medicine is making him kooky. she wants to essentially

transfer power to mike pence. mike pence is not going to say yeah, i think i should have that where does it standed in the house on the republican side? >> well, first of all, this shows you just how misplaced speaker pelosi's priorities are we should be in washington helping families that are struggling and recovering small businesses love another round of paycheck protection program funding where there is massive bipartisan support for congressman schwabb bats bill to give them another round of pppp funding that could be passed tomorrow. she is not bringing us back to that she has been fixated with overturning the results of the last election. and here she is again on the heels of vice president pence winning handily in the debate against senator harris. she is trying to overturn the results you have next month's election. she'll doesn't agree with the people's choice from the last election. look, they started with the russia hoax. they did impeachment. this is what she spent and wasted her speakership on. she should be fighting for

families and small businesses. not trying to overturn the results of the election because she knows how well president trump is doing and by the way what a signal that is to joe biden that she is spending her time trying to remove president trump from office because clearly she mustn't have confidence in joe biden's abilities. ainsley: the president says crazy nancy is the one who should be under observation. the potential coup is a nonstarter mark levin says the president won't pass this won't sign it. she is doing nothing. she is doing a fan dance. another phoney pelosi drama three and a half weeks before the election. why do you think she is doing this if she knows it can't pass? >> again, clearly, it's to distract away from the fact that they can't tout anything about joe biden. vice president pence literally the night before had done such an incredible job laying out president trump's agenda what president trump did to get this

economy back on track from the failed years of obama and biden. four international companies being approved by the fda gold standard for drug certification on the verge of vaccines that are being done because of president trump's leadership by the way in record time and what is she doing? not helping families. families need help and instead she is trying to overturn the results of the election yet again. brian: clearly the president is in her head and she is off her rocker. yesterday the stunning news that there was a plot to kidnap governor whitmer and diabolical group who was out to do some horrific things. we know how bad that is we know they were watched. the justice department found them and arrested them and they were stopped in their tracks. governor whitmer not grateful but focused on the president. listen. >> the president of the united states stood before the american people and refused to condemn

white supremacists and hate groups. hate groupings heard the president's words not as a rebuke but as a rallying cry. as a call to action. brian: first off, interesting way to say thanks. number two is, i thought about you, steve scalise. when the bernie sanders supporter tried to kill you and almost was successful, i never heard you say bernie sanders is to blame. she -- there was a plot, unwound by the president's justice department and she blames president trump. >> this is just -- it's so sad to see how she is trying to inject politics into something that, again, i mean, just like bernie wasn't responsible. if crazy people try to do crazy things, thank god there was law enforcement there in my case to protect everybody on the baseball field. thank god there was president trump's justice department to stop and thwart this plot. for her to go and continue these lies, i mean, president trump, how many times have you heard president trump denounce racism

across the board he has done it multiple times. and they know that they want to keep just per at the trading a lie. at a time like this to do it, when it was literally president trump's justice department that stopped this from even happening, you know, it's just sad that some people literally want to use every single day to try to confuse the public, to try to lie, because they are scared to death that president trump is going to get reelected including by voters in michigan. i was in michigan a few weeks ago. there is so much excitement and support for president trump because of things he did to get michigan back on track. pennsylvania, minnesota. all of these states that are turning around from the failed years of obama and biden. this is where we are in politics but unfortunately president fortunately president trump continues to do his job to fight for those people every single day and protect people even like governor whitmer. steve: steve scalise young from

us louisiana where sand bag something continuing at this hour. good luck to everybody down. >> there god bless. take care. steve: joe biden doning another chance to say if he will pack the courts. carrie severino on that next. i knew about the tremors. but when i started seeing things, i didn't know what was happening... so i kept it in. he started believing things that weren't true. i knew something was wrong... but i didn't say a word. during the course of their disease around 50% of people with parkinson's

may experience hallucinations or delusions. but now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. the only fda approved medicine... proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinson's. don't take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementia-related psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinson's disease. nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. tell your doctor about any changes in medicines you're taking. the most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. we spoke up and it made all the difference. ask your parkinson's specialist about nuplazid.

ainsley: after both he and his running mate dodged the question at the debated joe biden says he won't reveal his stance on court packing until after the election. >> you will know my opinion on court packing until after the election is over. i know it's a great quell and i don't blame you for asking. you know the moment i answer that question, the headline in every one of your papers will be about that. other than -- other than focusing on what's happening now. ainsley: here to react is president of judicial crisis network and clerk to justice clarence thomas carrie severino. hey, carrie. >> hi, how are you doing? ainsley: i'm good. thank you. this reminds me of vote for the build and we will read it later. how is this acceptable when you are running for president? >> it's not saying i don't want you guys to write about my opinions so i will not tell you what i actually stand for. ainsley: exactly. >> is utterly wirs.

strange, too. because he actually initially said he was against court packing. only democratic nominee to say that harris was for it. now suddenly he is walking that back. he won't tell us what position is like vice president pence said in the event. i think we all know what that means. if they had the opportunity what they want to do is anything they can to stop the court. a court that has judges that are going to apply the law rather than simply giving them their policy goals. ainsley: hearings begin on monday for amy coney barrett. you wrote a column on foxnews.com how democrats are trying to delay. this what should we expect next week. >> we know their strategy has been very explicit. they want to delay this vote as long as possible for purely partisan ends. but i think when the american people get to see amy coney barrett, she is so articulate, she is so poised. she is so brilliant. you know, you are going to see this mother of seven defending herself like she had to during her first confirmation hearings. i'm hoping they are wise enough not to go as much down the road

of bigotry and hate that we saw earlier on. we had people mitch mcconnell said suggesting she can't be a judge because she is a christian wrong kind of christian. you will see them attacking her record and trying to get her to promise to vote certain ways in certain cases. we know that's not possible. that's not what justice ginsburg did. they are going to be trying to cut campaign fight damage and making a made for tv movie. she is going to stand up to it all. it will be exciting. ainsley: all right, carrie, thanks for joining us. >> thanks. ainsley: you are welcome. ahead we have kayleigh mcenany, general jack keane and geraldo. stay with us. how will we do it, at a time like this?

we've been asked that before. and through pandemics, and depressions, wars that split a nation, and fractured the world. americans have always found a way to vote and make their voices heard. so stand with the national council on election integrity and help make sure every vote is counted. no matter who you vote for, or how. because while this election may feel different, we all call america home. keeping your oysters growing while keeping your business growing has you swamped.

before the election although people are voting right now. mark meadows joins us from the white house with update on the president wants health. mark the president came on tv last night with sean hannity and said you know what? i got a note from the doctor and it's time to go. >> well, steve, with less than a month to go until the elections. can you imagine that the president is willing, if not more than eager to get back out on the campaign trail. he had a lot to say in that interview with sean hannity last night including the possibility of holding a campaign rally as soon as this weekend. and he also said later today, guys, is he planning to take a covid test. >> we want to do a rally probably in florida saturday night. might come back and do one in pennsylvania the following night. and it's incredible what's going on. i feel so good. late theirs the white house released a new memo. the president has responded quote extremely well to treatment. and the doctor believes that the president can hold events again starting saturday.

meantime, don't expect to see that face-to-face debate between the president and joe biden next week. the commission on presidential debates says it does not plan to back down from its push to have the candidates meet virtually for a town hall. and almost instantly, the president rejected this idea when it came out yesterday is he a accusing the commission to try to boost biden. biden is pushing back saying is he ready to go with the flow. >> we set the date. i'm sticking with the date. i'm showing up. i will be there. and, in fact, if he shows up, fine. if he doesn't, final. what's interesting is biden has scheduled a televised town hall with abc on thursday. the same day that the debate was going to be happening in miami it. appears some of those details still have to be worked out as for the president it's unclear where this florida in may come up. hinting where he want to go next. another battle ground state

happening in pennsylvania at some point next week. steve, ainsley and brian, back to you guys. ainsley: thank you some, mark. if he gets the clear rally in florida tomorrow night and one in pennsylvania on wednesday and possibly a debate on thursday. he is concerned if they do it virtually they will be handing joe biden answers and he says he doesn't trust the system. he doesn't trust the commission. his campaign manager bill stepien said he will be medically cleared on saturday. that's five full days before the debate. no medical reason he can't debate. the debate commission say they are worried that trump and the people in the white house who have tested positive he is worried they are not only worried about the president but they are worried about people who would come with him that could have been exposed. here is what joe concha said earlier on our show. >> if you do a virtual debate, here's the problem. joe biden will have a chance to cheat in some way, shape, or form with a teleprompter with an ear piece, with being coached in some way, shape, or form. i don't think that would happen because i think at least the debate commission would make

sure that doesn't happen. but, you give this whole suspicion that this thing is fixed somehow. it's a legitimate criticism. i don't think it's valid. but, again, we have to at least have the american people believe that the election will be fair. the debates will be fair. brian: well, there is a couple of things here. number one, i find it totally bizarre that the election, the debate committee would not meet and discuss this first the day before and discuss an announcement on something that means so much. for the longest time we heard these rtz -- this is the date that this is happening. the trump team came out and said i'm a little concerned. in this ear wrath early voting by the time the debates start millions of people would l. have voted already. by the time the last one is done about 25 to 50 million people have voted already. they say this is the way we do it. these are the rules that we have. these are the parameters that have been negotiated. that's the way it is. so all of a sudden they go underneath the radar. they come up at 7:30 in the

morning. they have to vp debate and say we are changing it to remote because we think that people in the trump entourage or the trump white house might be. steve: or the president. brian: the president slipshod about their code practices when you can easily limit the number of people set up parameters and testing. you have a budget. you can provide the testing. the president i heard walter reed is a pretty good hospital people tell me i need another source. you could have walter reed doctors interact and give them answers some of the things they are worried about on thursday. i do think overall though the president needs this. i think the president might be in a situation where virtual could actually be better for him and, steve, they did talk about having a person from each camp in each other's studio. the president could not be in a laptop. have a camera. be in the oval office if he chooses. and they could have somebody in his camp with the biden camp and somebody in the biden camp in the oval office therefore to

make sure no one is getting anything from their ear piece or from their prompter. steve: the president said last night with sean that that was a nonstarter because, you know, with the virtual thing all they have got to do is pull the plug on his audio and he can't talk anymore. after the first debate with joe biden and the president and there was a lot of interrupting, i don't know if you heard that, but the commission said we don't know exactly what we are going to do. we are not going to sculpted with the campaigns but we are going to change the structure and boy did they. so will it happen on thursday? it might if the biden camp and the commission and the cleveland clinic both sign off on the president's -- ainsley: if is he going to be virtual or a rally both of them on television, what do you think he will choose? he does better in rallies. brian: speaks to his audience. one he will get a few million. the other he will get 50 or 60 million. they said they're open to making the last one, which is a lock, a

town hall. i'm not sure the president wants that. steve: here's the thing, if they did a rally, how many of the networks would run the rally? i know we ran one of the rallies in his last in 2016 when he was running and said he was going to go some place but i don't think anybody else did. whereas the presidential debates run on all the channels. ainsley: that's true. nancy pelosi wants to introduce a bill creating a commission to evaluate the president's mental and physical fitness. she is using the 25th amendment to do. this she said we will hear more about it today. this is what she said yesterday. >> i think that the public needs to know the health condition of the president there is one question they refuse to answer, when was the -- before he got the virus, and admitted to it, when was his last negative test? when was his last negative test to make a judgment about the

actions that were taken after that. tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow come here tomorrow. we're going to be talking about the 25th amendment. but not to take attention away from the subject we have now. ainsley: she is insinuating the medicine is making him crazy and he tweeted crazy nancy is the one who should be under observation. we asked steve scalise about this. he said she is focusing on the wrong thing when so many people are hurting right now. watch. >> this shows you just how misplaced speaker pelosi's priorities are we should be in washington helping families that are struggling and recovering and small businesses that would love another round of paycheck protection program funding where there is massive bipartisan support. she is now trying to overturn the rules of next month's election. she has wanted to remove president trump from office because she doesn't agree with the people's choice from the last elections. started with the russia hoax. he this is what she spent and reyes arrested speakership on.

she should be families not trying to overturn the. brian: most severe case of trump derangesment syndrome. only reason she -- one out of six businesses under joe biden is about to go under. her own party started to surge up and demand she get some money to their separate states who don't care about democrat and republican. i get. this let's say for example they pass this 25th amendment. let's say it gets to the senate and for some reason it passes, okay. donald trump has the coronavirus. if the vice president tests positive, i guess that means the speaker becomes president of the united states? i mean, is that the succession? is that what she is looking at? what she is trying to create chaos which she always accuses the president of doing. you create chaos and people are going to say i just need a change. i'm going to vote for the other guy and the other party. but look who is creating the chaos. and look who is refusing to answer questions about their

agenda should they get the keys to the country. and it's one party. and they are always wearing masks because they're responsible and they believe the science. it's joe biden and kamala harris. steve: so, brian, you are saying that nancy pelosi has tested positively for trump derangement syndrome. brian: unfortunately you don't need a saliva test it's more of a visual and audio thing. i was able to conclude that on my own without a lab coat. steve: he's not a doctor he just place one on tv. brian and ainsley, we are going to move on because we have big news down south and extreme weather alert. a live look at hurricane delta expected to come on shore with strong winds. casey stegall joins us live to the east of that in lake charles, louisiana as the hurricane is expected to make landfall later today, casey. >> yeah. that's right. and more than 10,000 homes, by the way, were destroyed across

southwest louisiana which hurricane laura hit and another 73,000 sustained either major or moderate damage. and now hurricane delta is taking aim on almost the exact same places. it's taking a very, very similar track when you look at the information coming out of the national hurricane center. emergency officials are worried about the piles of debris and dumpsters lining the streets from the recovery. they are worried the delta's winds will blow that stuff around making conditions even more hazardous. delta forecasted to make landfall this evening as a category 2 hurricane in southwest, louisiana. more than a foot of rain could fall in some places. and a storm surge as high as 11 feet projected for some coastal communities. time is running out for people to get out. >> actually stayed through laura and my wife and i said we are never going to stay for another hurricane again. i booxd rooms on tuesday in

houston. >> the louisiana national guard by the way has 8 helicopters, 54 boats and 114 high water rescue vehicles all on stand by should anyone become trapped. and high water rescues have to be carried out. that's why they are advising people to heed the mandatory evacuation orders and some areas under voluntary evacuation orders as delta gets ready to hit this area once again. back to you. ainsley: all right. thank you, casey. president trump says he will skip a virtual debate but joe biden says he is all in. so now what happens? chris stirewalt is here to weigh in coming up next. ♪ anything can happen ♪ anything can happy ♪ anything can happen ♪

>> this debate commission is a joke. the commission is a joke. we will see what happens in i'm not interested in doing a virtual. i'm not joe biden debate sit behind a computer screen. >> i will be there. i will show up be there. if he shows up fine, if he doesn't, fine. ainsley: reacting to the decision to go virtual. here to react is fox news editor chris stirewalt. hey, chris. >> how are we doing? ainsley: we are doing great. what do you think is going to hoop? in my opinion probably no way this is going to happen unless the commission changes their mind, but they are saying that think are not reconsidering this or have it in person because they are worried about the people that could be there. they are worried about their

crew. sure and with the white house trying to get everything under control vis-a-vis infections. certainly they have good standing to make the case the commission has good standing to make the case. the question now is if this isn't going to happen and i think trump needed this debate if hadn't this isn't going to happen wha what happens to the t one. biden wants to switch out the last debate and be a town hall instead easier format. makes sense or can be an easier format. makes sense. the trump campaign wants two more do baits i don't think that's going to happen. my guess would be things stay as they're and the commission says to the president comfort third one or don't. ainsley: let's talk about the campaign ads because i know you have a show on fox nation we will get. to say these campaign ads, how effective are they right? i feel like this election is different people watching the debates curious and entertainment but they already know who they are voting for. what do you think? >> we have seen big swings in the electorate. how people can be convinced and

change their minds. television is i don't know whether you know this a really powerful medium. come in key moment and putted a on effective with a strong message it moves voters and most importantly what it does is takes voters maybe less intense. maybe less enthusiastic and ratchet them up. can move their intensity level which gets them to bring their grand mass and dogs and everybody to the polls with them and register to vote. ainsley: i'm watching all of them i'm actually enjoying both sides. many have revolutionized american politics. they can change the course for one of these individuals just like the debates can i know you talk about that in your fox nation special. here's a clip from that and then we will talk to you on the other side of it. it? >> was 1963 that i went to washington and met president kennedy. i remember thinking what an incredible country like this was that somebody like me had no money or anything would be given the opportunity to meet the

president. >> by bill clinton showing that moment where he shakes kennedy's hand he was a associating himself with the kennedy legacy and i felt like telling the personal public i can be the next one of these. ainsley: chris, tell us more about it? >> the special is awesome. we go back to the 1950s. we look at ads that change the way we understand politics. change the way we understand politicians. that clinton ad. i mean, it's perfect bubba, right? here is this guy mr. yale law school oh, i'm just a country boy. just like he had just caught a possum in a bag. so, anyway the ads can be really good sometimes really bad. we had a lot of fun putting together. i think people will really enjoy watching it. ainsley: thank you so much. good to see. >> you bet. ainsley: all right. coming up a wisconsin homeowner now going viral after confronting protesters

me, brian. you know, this is actually the fourth protest ha has come directly past my house. so, you are don't really have any experience with confronting a crowd obviously this size. but, we have had some experience since all of the chaos has started months ago. we are seeing protests pass directly past our house. i think it was just -- as i have had time to reflect, just the culmination of everything 2020 so that the protests and the mandates and lockdowns and riots and tongue in cheek i just lost my favorite guitarist eddie van halen, whatever i was thinking, i was frustrated and fed up and really the last straw was looking out my window and seeing the gentleman on the motorcycle riding in my lawn. something in me click's a said internally no more and came running out of my house and prepared to confront whatever it was that i was going to

confront. brian: this incident, they said it was -- there was nothing bad here netanyahu race related. you had a black officer and black suspect. this thing was deliberated for months and then they decide to bring their outrage to your lawn. what did you do wrong? >> as well as, as far as i know nothing. i think what you are just seeing is the culmination of a lot of anger that i don't believe is being directed in the right way. i wanted to get across to anybody reasonable from the crowd that i could find to try to get that point across maybe not as eloquently as i would have liked but i would challenge anyone that has a couple hundred people surrounding his yard and honking and motor cycles doing burnouts and people running up to you with cell phones in your face trying to intimidate and mock you. i don't think any of those are going to exactly sound like sock

secrets in the moment. i did the best i could to get my point across. at least in the moment felt like i was a little more angry and yelling than what seems -- what other people seemed to have thought i did. which i appreciate and appreciate that kind of understanding in the moment i assure you i was pretty angry. brian: i understand that. can i ask you something, jason? everyone wants to address race relations and make the country a better place. if you want to get my attention, should you wreck my house first? >> i don't think that would be the first way i would go about it, no. that was the one of the things i was trying to get across to the crowd. some people i later found out. video even existed which i wasn't aware of at the time. is that, you know, we are not your enemy. that there are commonalities that we have. and going about it and destroying property. destroying businesses and just

extending the riots into chaos and all the hatred and pain that our country has been going through. if you want to kind of get to that kind of first step, that first place that really starts to get some people to turn towards your cause. this is not the way to do it. there are places we can start. but riding a motorcycle through my lawn and destroying my neighbor's property. that's not going to get my attention and there are better ways to go about it? >> brian: they are bringing their outrage to the suburbs purposefully, jason. jason fritz. >> they sure are. brian: standing up, speaking out and standing up for everything he worked for his entire life. i totally understand that jason, thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. brian: all right. coming up straight ahead. when will joe biden say if he's going to pack the courts? >> you will know my opinion on court-packing when the election is over. look. i know it's a great question and y'all -- i don't blame you for asking.

to add salt to the wound for all of these poor folks across louisiana. there's the track. it is a major hurricane. it is expected to weaken as it comes on shore. got cold water ahead of it and upper level winds that are going to start to weaken the storm. however, the fact that it's going over all of these vulnerable areas many hundreds of homes with tarps overtop of them it's just going to destroy some of these regions. look at the landfall here very close, delta coming within like 30 or 40 miles from the center of circulation where laura came on shore and that's why this is so concerning. storm surge 7 to 11 feet. that's going to come over top some of these homes unfortunately and not only that but upwards of four to ten, even 12 inches of rainfall. hurricane force winds all along the coast. there are already seeing tropical storm force winds within the last several hours and flash flooding is imminent in these regions. just a terrible, terrible situation unfortunately for

louisiana and parts of texas well. back to you steve, ainsley and brian. ainsley: all right. thank you, janice. joe biden finally addressing the push to pack the supreme court. but, if you want to know his position on that issue, you are going to have to wait. steve: what? >> you will know my opinion on court packing when the election is over. look, i know it's a great question and i don't blame you for asking. but you know the moment i answer that question the headline in every one of your papers will be about that. other than -- other than focusing on what's happening now. brian: here to react "fox & friends weekend" co-host pete hegseth and will cain. pete, hold your fire. i'm going to go to will first. okay is that all right with you. >> absolutely. brian: will, is that acceptable to you? i know you want to talk about what's important. but i don't want to make headlines. so i'm going to leave. pete: okay. of course it' --

will: of course it's important to me, brian. you might want to know what a presidential candidate believes before you elect him. i don't think that many people know what court-packing is whenever i talk about this on social media people come back what is the g.o.p. doing? what's mcconnell? what's trump doing forcing amy coney barrett's nomination? it's not the same thing. it's important to note this is radical the court has had 9 members for 150 years. nobody has tried to pack the court, increase the number of justices since fdr it. would delegitimize the court set up another arms race with the next republic president adding another three. 12 to 15 to 18. this is radical to the american justice system and it needs to be explained by joe biden. ainsley: it's the wait and see approach. we are familiar with this because nancy pelosi wanted to do that in 2010 with the healthcare act. watch this. >> we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in

it away from the fog of the controversy. pete? pete: this is the most absurd thing i have ever heard a human being say. that's not hyperbole. wait, i know you want to know. it's a good question about packing the court, but i can't answer it. because if i give you an answer, then you are going to talk about it. and i'm running for president so wait in the day after and then remember in the debate what he does every time he goes make sure you vote. make sure you vote, everybody. how stupid does he think we are? and here's why he is doing it. two things. one, he knows the media is entirely uncritical. they will let him get away with it if they can. they will effectively say well, he just wants the highlight the amy coney barrett hearings and so that's why he is doing it. it's absolutely absurd in that context how in the tank the media is but, at the same time,

with joe biden, he also knows his left wing, his left wing wants. this they believe it's necessary. if you want to radically change america you add justices to the court to prevent what donald trump has done. he knows, listen, the polls say that the president is behind. that's what they say, okay? i don't buy a lot of them but that's what they say. those are registered voters. if joe biden particulars off his ofticks off his basethe hard cot lose the radical left so i won't answer the question of course i will pack the court if i can. brian: let's talk about what else is happening the debate on thursday supposed to be moderated by steve scully. his resume must upset the president he internsd with this guy named joe biden. interned there and then in 2016,

it's right there on the internet he is arm in arm with joe biden. >> big smiles on their faces. okay. that's a little disconcerting. he tweets out after trump is elected. never trump, never. i don't know donald trump took issue with that when it came to light. i can't believe this team would allow it or have a say in it. i don't know how familiar steve scully is with social media but he did this publicly. he tweeted right at anthony scaramucci who has become one of the president's biggest critics scaramucci, should i respond to trump? scaramucci writes back ignore. he is having a hard enough time. more bad stuff about to go down. oh, really? so, there is a plot in the plan nice to know. number two is that's the moderator. what's your reaction? will: i will tell you this, i will be interested to see if pete with k. muster up outrage for this. i'm unsurprised. pete, i'm unsurprised. i'm not blown away by. this all of us have been involved in the media for some

years. how many people do you know who have interned for the democratic congressman? how many people do you know in the media who have had some position in the democratic administration. maybe people who host morning shows on other networks perhaps even spoke for democratic president at some point. perhaps those who write for the new yorker or politico. you could name the names who serve democratic administration. you can't do that in reverse by the way. you can't point to anyone who worked for a republican congressman or republican administration who is somehow being played off as objective journalist on some quote, unquote mainstream media organization. you cannot find it. i'm unsurprised. we are constantly being fed this idea that if you come from the left can you somehow become all of a sudden objective. i'm unsurprised. disappointed, i guess. but unsurprised. pete. pete: will, you just took away all my outrage. i was going to be outraged but you are totally right. it's absolutely podest pedestri. no debate moderators are democrats who used to work for

joe biden? that should make your head explode. ainsley: pete, from what i know about him, based on our friends in this business, i think he is supposed to be fair. i'm not expecting him to be biased when he is up there on stage asking the question. pete: he might be a nice guy. that's fine but watch the way in which he frames the questions. they all do it. do it in a way that helps the democrats and impugns the motives of republicans. that's exactly how they do it. ainsley: do you think he thought he was d.m.ing? did he intentionally tweet that. pete: i think his level of technology is about the same as joe biden's. he probably thought he was direct messaging anthony scaramucci. brian: i'm worried about what tony scaramucci said at the end something coming down. makes me think there are forces there. it's not organic. pete: what's next? it's never stopped. they have tried to undo the election from day one. noriega new. steve: speaking of what's coming up next will what's coming up on "fox & friends weekend." >> why have a big weekend. martha blackburn michigan senate candidate john james hogan

camps, 12 more on the construction, one of those concentration camps has 96 buildings in it. this is an example of what the chinese communist party does with people who are different or are critical. what's going on here? they fear, brian, their own people more than they fear any adversary like the united states, japan or australia, india. they fear their people and that is why they clamp down so harshly and so quickly when there's any criticism even small criticism like this from -- from as far away as the united states. >> just keep in mind that when the vice president was vice president he was playing basketball with president xi and that was a much different philosophy with the u.s. and china back then. it was we can bring them into the world community, that ship has sailed. i just don't know if both parties understand that. jack: well, that's where the international community and the united

states was for years, both democratic and republican presidents. yes, we were appeasing china and trying to bring them in to modern capitalism by helping them create a modern economy in their country and we did a very good job of it quite frankly, but now the world is looking at china and seeing them for who they really are, a repressive regime. brian: the president of the united states made an announcement yesterday that i want you to weigh in on, he did it with maria bartiromo, listen. >> we are down to 4,000 troops in afghanistan and i will have them home by the end to have year. i want our military home because you know what, we are all over the world, we are in all different sites fighting in countries that nobody ever heard of and it hurts us because you wear out your military and we have to be always prepared for china, russia and other places, we have to be prepared. brian: does that concern you, is that on the progress of the talks with the taliban? >> that doesn't make any

sense to me, brian. certain absurdity associated with that statement. we have a condition's base withdrawal as our policy and certainly the progress of the peace talks is one of the major conditions, the violence has to stop and there has to be some kind of an agreement and we need to taliban to commit to no longer association with the al-qaeda and willing to put down isis inside of afghanistan if we are to leave. those are some of the conditions. as late as wednesday, the day before the president's statement, the national security adviser was talking about what i just said, a condition's base withdrawal, if we had to leave in less than 90 days we would have to leave the equipment behind and we would have to leave before the nato forces leave and we would undercut the peace negotiation that is we have engineered for almost 2 years. this makes no sense. brian: we sacrificed so much to get to this point, how we leave

will -- will really, signify how successful we were and if we leave too quick it all falls apart. meanwhile, do you think iran cares about our elections? do you think they are following it closely? jack: oh, i think so just as all of our adversaries are. i mean, what iran wants is they want a return to the nuclear deal. they -- they want a return to the appeasement policy of the previous administration which i think was fundamentally flawed and what you see taking place in the middle east, the arabs and israelis coming together is a call to the rejection of iran's proxy wars that they have been conducting throughout the middle east and destabilizing the middle east. they are robbing the middle east of their future, of prosperity and taking care of the young people that are -- some of the countries have 70% of the population is under 30 and they have no future because of the -- what

the iranians are doing. we cannot go back and make deal with iranians and undercuts. that history was wrong. brian: that one party will do just that and the rest of the middle east is falling in line with israel because we saw iran. jack jack -- there's no doubt that they have not responded for the killing of salamani and i think they will seek retribution and probably in the post election but the iranians are back on their heels in a way i have never seen, brian, we have not take the foot off the gas and we have to put the pressure on the guys. that's what the what shall -- arabs are

telling us and hopefully we continue to move in that direction. brian: it's just coming together before our eyes, general jack keane, can't thank you enough. jack: good talking to you, brian. brian: he's done it all in legendary career and this morning we are celebrating geraldo rivera, 50 years in television, geraldo here with his very thick body. with unitedhealthcare medicare advantage plans, you can take advantage of free eye exams and free designer eyewear. ♪ wow ♪ uh-huh free annual eye exams, designer frames and prescription lenses. it's time to take advantage. ♪ wow (fisherman vo)ce)ke advantage. how do i register to vote?ential election...

ainsley: well this morning we are celebrating hispanic heritage month, geraldo spent 5 decades going to local street reporter to network correspondent and beyond. the man himself geraldo rivera joins us along fox news correspondent bryan llenas, hey, guys. geraldo: hi, everybody. ainsley: we are so proud of you and proud of your career and we know that you're from puerto rico and you speak so proudly about that and we all just embrace you with that. bryan had a chance to sit down with you to interview on fox nation, right, bryan? reporter: yeah, she's been a staple on television so long that you forget that geraldo was the first hispanic-american journalist to make it to the big time becoming a

the banana boat. reporter: geraldo got start in 1970 after local news director noticed him in a tv interview. geraldo: i was a lawyer for puerto rican active group. they would send me to colombia university, school of journalism to have a crash course and they would put me on the air. at the time local news was all white pen. reporter: in 1972 as a young 28-year-old reporter geraldo got his big break, sneaked into willowbrook. >> unannounced and unexpect bid the school administration we toured building number 6. >> what he saw was unimaginable. dozens of neglected patients, some naked, others sitting in their own feces and overcrowded and filthy facility. geraldo: what we found and documented is a disgrace to all of us.

reporter: you took a lot of risk in the story and it really affected you. geraldo: it didn't matter what the obstacles were, if they didn't put it on i was leaving. the willowbrook institution and that really -- it started a movement that took a decade and a half to finally close all of the big awful institutions. reporter: after expose rivera's career soared. >> will the real geraldo rivera stand up. [laughter] reporter: became anchor of nbc goodnight america. >> geraldo rivera. [applause] reporter: jetting from global conflicts. >> just as we were leaving the front lines yesterday a mortar exploded 5 feet from us. reporter: interviewing everyone from fidel castro to muhammad ali. geraldo: makes me wonder what happens to boxing. >> his career took a turn afters fired from abc in 1985, four months later he was asked to host a syndicated special on the opening

of al capone's secret volt. geraldo: this is why we are here, the massive concrete chamber. reporter: the volt turned out to be empty. geraldo: once in a lifetime where a pot of gold would be better than chasing rainbows. largest audience of syndicated television. holds all the rating records. i refuse to admit defeat. come on, guys. reporter: special led today time tv show where he talked to everyone from whitney houston to charles manson. geraldo: did you tell those women to kill somebody? >> no, no. reporter: became prime time cnbc anchor but in the wake of 9/11 attacks he took a cut to work as correspondent. geraldo: i was in pakistan in route to

afghanistan. they're firing on us. it was very, very decade from 2001 to 2011. my kids never saw me. reporter: in 2011, geraldo was angling the night bin laden does killed. geraldo: bin laden is dead, confirmed, multiple sources, osama bin laden is dead. happy days, happy days, everybody. reporter: at 77 geraldo still has a lot to offer but when it's all said and done -- geraldo: i want people to know that i'm a proud new yorker, proud american and it's been amazing and amazing 50 years. reporter: wow, geraldo rivera has accomplished so much but frankly greatest legacy that he paveed the way for future hispanic-american journalists like myself to have future in television news. steve: that's fantastic, bryan llenas good job on the report. geraldo rivera, how would you grade that

report about your life? [laughter] geraldo: i think of bryan as a relative of mine, offspring. i gave birth to him and the others, i'm very proud of bryan and the job he did, for instance, the night of the rioting and the looting in new york and he was out there steadfast, courageous reporting for the channel. every time i see what the young hispanic reporters that are on every channel now, every network, i feel an enormous sense of pride, steve. ainsley: that's sweet. brian: bryan llenas is such an investigative reporter, are you concerned that he was going to find something unsavorily in your background? [laughter] geraldo: it's funny, i just heard from general john campbell who you say i was in pretty good shape, he said that i could outpush-up you any day. brian: i said that you're in great shape. geraldo: but, you know, i -- i love -- i love what i do. i still love it.

i'm excited by it. as i said, i have different kinds of joy now when i have young reporters going out there and standing in the hurricane, putting their nose in the face of the bad guys and, you know, and the microphones, sticking the microphone, i just -- i feel kind of like a godfather now, padrino and i'm still active but i love -- i love my -- my next generation and the generation after that. my goodness, my sixth decade now it's been quite a run. ainsley: such a great guy, you're a friend to all of us, it looks like you had fun doing it. sometimes shirtless, brian.

steve: they are already starting to feel the impact of hurricane delta. i can see the outer bands heading north. janice: yeah, absolutely. inundated with rain and rift currents and high waves and tropical-storm-force winds, storm surges up to 11 feet depending on where the circulation comes on shore. although it's going to weaken as it moves

across the coastline, it would hit areas that were hit so hard by category storm laura 6 weeks ago, so a lot of the homes are already damaged. this is just going to add salt to the wound unfortunately for all of the folks in louisiana. not only southwest louisiana but also into parts of southeast texas. there's the track, still strong major hurricane. we are expecting a landfall, impact later on this afternoon where the center comes on shore and then upwards of 4 to 10-inches, isolated amounts of over a foot of rainfall and it's just a dire situation because on any given year a hurricane of that magnitude would be a big problem but because it's coming on top of what we saw 6 weeks ago and some of the exact same areas, that's why i'm so concerned. so flood warnings are in effect not only that but we will see the risk for tornadoes that could cause more structural damage. that's going to be existing through this evening as the center moves north and east ward. moving fairly quickly

for a hurricane which is good news but the bad news is they've had 6 storms moving into this area of louisiana over the last several months and this is just another one that's going to add so much pain. more pain to these poor residents. back to you, steve, ainsley and brian. ainsley: thanks so much, janice. let's bring in kayleigh mcenany, white house secretary. first of all, let me ask you about your health before we talk about the hurricane? >> i'm feeling great, no symptoms, the hardest part is being isolated from my 10-month-old, i'm feeling great and i'm blessed being asymptomatic. ainsley: what's the president's message for the folks in louisiana, mississippi and texas that about to get hit with another storm? kayleigh: his heart is with him. the federal government is on your side. he's been actively engaged on the phone with governors and made

sure that fema has assets deployed on the ground, stay calm and listen to your governors and local instructions of your leaders there but the federal government is ready to assist. brian: let's move on and talk about the president last night on with sean hannity and mentioned, he did cough a couple of times i might be doing an event in florida and maybe pennsylvania after. what have you heard about that, what are the possibilities and being that you're in separate locations, what could you tell us that you noticed about the president's condition? kayleigh: the president, i was on the phone with him 3 to 4 times yesterday. he's hard at work and ready to go and wants to talk to the american people and wants to be out there, logistically if tomorrow is possible, it would be tough and it would be a decision for the campaign, we are trying to keep up with the president who is ready to go and ready to be out there as soon as he's okay from his doctors. steve: absolutely. his doctor did put out a statement yesterday that said that he would be clear for takeoff essentially and, you know, resume public

activities as early as tomorrow, but -- but what is the bar that the president has to pass a negative covid test, what happens? kayleigh: i spoke to dr. conley yesterday and that saturday he would be clear to go. i would leave that to him as to how that works medically but he assured me that there are medical tests underway that will ensure that when the president is back out there, he will be not be able to transmit the virus, so dr. conley will lay exactly how that looks out medically speaking but rest assure he will be in a good spot before he goes out there. steve: if the president takes a covid test and comes back positive, he can't go out yet, right? kayleigh: yeah, again i will leave it to dr. conley because he has the granular details of the testing and what medical bar needs to be met to make sure you're

not transmittible. they'll be a test in place and rest assure the test will show that it's not transmissible. he won't be out there if he can transmit the virus. ainsley: nancy pelosi doesn't think he's doing well, thinks the medicine is making him a little crazy and creating the commission to evaluate the president's mental and physical fitness using the 25th amendment, this is what she said. >> i think that the public needs to know the health condition of the president. there's one question that he refuses -- they refuse to answer, when -- before he got the virus and admitted to it, when was his last negative test? when was his last negative test to make a judgment about the actions that were taken after that? tomorrow by the way, tomorrow, come here tomorrow, we will be talking about the 25th amendment but not to take attention away from the subject we had now.

ainsley: 25th amendment says that the president can't do his vice president and the vice president would resume the powers. what do you say about that? kayleigh: you know, that's an absurd proposition from nancy pelosi. the only one who needs to be looking at the 25th amendment is nancy pelosi herself. she had bizarre nbc and in the middle of it after she suggested using impeachment to make sure that amy coney barrett doesn't get on the court, impeachment of the president of the united states and in the middle of the interview she blurs out good sunday morning, maybe she's projecting here because the 25th amendment, no reason for it to be considered with president of the united states but maybe for nancy pelosi herself. brian: any chance of getting that debate on track with the president accepting virtual debate with cameras and monitors in each camp from the other camp? kayleigh: the president has no interest in virtual debate. you can see joe biden, he could bare i will keep up in the debate stage last night and access to maybe

teleprompters, who knows, the president wouldn't be there to hold him accountable. it's not a fair format and for the commission on presidential debates, commission to reelect joe biden announced that the 7:30 was no input from the campaign and shows the work from the democrat party. brian: good to see you, thanks so much. steve: good luck with your recovery. meanwhile coming up oklahoma and texas face off in historic red-river showdown fork sports league college football joe previews the game coming up next.

intentionally. texas quarterback sam will face off against oklahoma spencer rattler and the rivalry isn't new thanks to covid some things are brand new, for example, we are not exactly going to be sold out but they'll be fans, here with a preview fox sports league analyst joel, how many fan wills you guys get in there and how many can it hold? >> yeah, it holds around 93,000 people, old cotton bowl and they are expecting 12 and a half, 13,000 fans per each team, 23,000 in total would be in the cotton bowl. let's hope it's a good environment. brian: fox does a great job making it feel like there are fans there. it would feel like a sellout in your head set, are you going to hear what they are doing with the audio like we are hearing at home? >> fox has been on the cutting edge across sports whether it's been baseball, football, last night you might have heard it when the bears

and tampa bay buccaneers played on thursday night football. we do pump crowd noise for you at home and i do hear that in the head set. i have to be honest with you, i know the stadiums aren't full but in the head set and booth it feels like a normal environment for me and i think it feels as normal as possible for you at home as well. brian: it'll make saturday seem natural and 12:00 o'clock start where fox start broadcast. tell me about the two quarterbacks? >> spencer rattler for oklahoma, brian, immense talent. can't wait to watch him play, freshman with big arm and useful mistakes to get ball in the field, exciting brand to football and on the other side for texas, veteran quarterback, 36 start under his belt sam, he leads the country right now in touchdown passes, looking to get into the heisman trophy race for this his last season there in austin. it's going to be quite a battle between the two very talented but different quarterbacks. brian: how odd is it for you, joel, who thinks you have seen it all in

college football to know the pack 12 is starting soon and the big 10 but not yet, rankings of teams who are 4 to 5 weeks in. >> i know, listen, throw everything that you know about a normal season out the window here in 2020. i think that's probably the same in all walks of life. i do want to just say, though, i'm really proud of the pack 12 and big ten for coming back and coming back to the table to get their kids on the field because i think it's better for them. it's safer for them to be under the structure of football than outside of the structure of football and in particularly talking about mental health and deterioration of such if you're outside of the structure. kudos for them for coming to the table and the other conferences for putting one foot in front of the other and listening to medical advice to get kids on the field. brian: it all start at 12:00, joel will be calling the game. broadcast start at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. start with the review. thanks, joel. >> thank you, brian.
