will: our nation's capital lit up, moonlight bouncing off the clouds ever new orleans, and studio lights here in new york city. welcome to "fox & friends." will cain, pete hegseth, rachel campos duffy. pete: let's do four hours. will: we always hold up four in our fourth hour. we never hold up one. pete: here you go. rachel: this group, this is the fastest i ever got for me. pete: i debris. work is the best when it doesn't feel like work. will: let's get it started. the biden administration is ramping up deportation flights to haiti as officials contain what is incredible surge in del rio, texas. up almost 15,000 people. a texas congressman warns the worst is yet to come. dhs agents sent 400 to the ground.

texas dps, texas sheriffs, urging the biden administration for help, urging their own forces for vigilance. this draws resources away from the normal duties as the southern border's attention focus images on the screen. pete: those are new exclusive images. i hadn't seen that until right now. look at that. is that sanctioned america? rachel: is that america? pete: government holding center? is that acceptable? can you imagine that is looked like an area controlled under the trump administration, illegals regardless where they were coming from were living? and so there's 3,000 to 4,000 more than we saw yesterday. there is a plan to send 400 more agents there temporarily. they say they will deport more asians. i will believe that when i see that -- haitians. they talked a lot about deportation as long time, a lot of different reasons, had a lot

of opportunity but have not, that is not a plan. that is not addressing anything. >> that looks like a favela in brazil. that looks like a shanty town in peru. this is absolutely shocking images. the worst part, border agents say the worst is yet to come. this is representative august pleuger, told fox news speak to border patrol. the worst is yet to come. they're worried what is behind here. they're worried aboutdination w. sheriffs said they're sending letters to the biden administration, please help us. they can't on a get a response. to your report, pete, can't imagine this happening under the trump administration, i can't imagine former president donald trump getting a letter from the sheriff's department, from sheriffs on the border saying, please help us, him not taking that meeting. that is what he was good at. he saw problems like this. he loved law enforcement. he appreciated the work that was

being done by border patrol. and he always tried to do what he could do. will: letter you're referencing from sheriff salazar of bexar county, texas. he said he sent it some weeks ago. he kept it quiet. he didn't want to make a public relations deal out of the fact he sent the letter. maybe a week, month ago now, he has gotten no month. here is what javier salazar said about the letter he sent. said, i'm sorry it's a sound bite. here is what he had to say about this letter. >> i haven't made it known publicly but i a letter to president biden not too long ago, asking him to come down here to meet with me, other texas sheriffs. to know we haven't receive any supply. i'm frustrated. i do want him to do more. i'm, i am just, right now we can only be working together. at this point seems like a lot of us don't have much of a plan.

rachel: you can't work together when you don't have a plan. the plan for the border patrol is secure the border. the plan for the biden administration to open it. will: for people on the front lines, either no plan or completely conflicting plans as you talked about. look at all the covid protocols too. isn't that the biggest issue, we have to really lock that down, make sure we're good to go. nothing to be seen there. the amount of resources it would take. this is a peaceful situation. let's hope people been there for days and weeks from the heat. i read speculation, the officers said we're completely out numbered here. we don't have the support we need. let alone the idea that we're being effective proactively policing the border where cartels are still in control, still taking advantage of the fact we're utterly and completely distracted by babysit ting in a camp. people wetive sent an have

ittation to. now we say we will deport them. maybe we will. maybe we won't. this does not look like something. where are the cameras from abc, cbs, nbc,cnn? will they show images. will at the talk about the human cost that led to this? i don't think so. will: most of their cameras trying to make a national crisis what would have been a january 6th rally. we'll show the it later in the show, the number of press members outnumbered people in washington, d.c. no coverage, no footage, like images you saw, i don't know, legacy, mainstream, corporate media. i'm not sure what you call it anymore? how about this? propaganda media. rachel: there were some images. it was so small. it is like a blip. to me when you combine what happened at the border with what happened in afghanistan. we now know we released prisoners from a terrorists out

of a prison in bagram airbase. we know the terrorists are inspired by their victory over us in afghanistan. this is a really toxic situation. you have an open border. you have a border patrol completely overwhelmed. they're baby sitting in detention centers. they're moved into this situation. what they are not doing, guarding our borders, keeping bad guys out. cartels and possibly terrorists. meanwhile kamala harris, she was not at the border. will: the border czar. rachel: not dealing with the root cause. she was at a football game, as you know the affirmative action vice president who was selected because she was a woman and because she was the right color, she likes to go to these things. went to her alma mater, howard university, historically plaque college. this is the stuff she likes to do. stuff on the border. pete: howard university, doesn't

look like well attended looking at stand. she was supposed to care about the root causes f she cares about the root causes, she should make a trip to haiti. they are suffering from political turmoil. assassination of their president. if root causes are the issue, go there. remember she made a trip to the northern triangle countries. that didn't go well. you want me to go to europe, should i go to the border. it was debacle two days she was there. shuffled back to washington, d.c. rachel: she was mocked by the leaders of the triangle. they didn't like her. pete: it has been a sham argument from the beginning. we show images like that because she shouldn't flip a coin. i don't care if she flip as coin. the reality she has a job she is utterly abdicating. will: nothing for nothing, i wanted this randomly. i was watching, arsenal verse

burnlee before college football game on. this came on, howard versus hampton. not for nothing. it was the most awkward situation you ever seen. rachel: why was it awkward? will: i have to appreciate i have not flip ad coin, not know where to walk in every situation, whose hands to shake, what to do, she certainly did not. rachel: she couldn't even do that right. she can't do the border and do a coin toss. will: it was awkward situation. pete: when i tell my kids when you get empty ensown. act like you have been there. doesn't look like a maniac. will: taking orders from the commander-in-chief. rachel: here is what he had to say about the big saturday show. what he had to say about kamala instead of going to the border. >> she is at howard university

game today. she should be down at the border. we should lock the whole thing down today, stop this. our agents are not only trying to process these 15,000 people under the bridge. there are hundreds still coming on raft, across the low tide of the rio grande as we speak. this is an a national and international tragedy and the biden administration is largely responsible. they better get control of the borders. pete: but they won't. you got this. we learned will was watching soccer on football saturday. will: 11:00 a.m., the first kick-off was noon, pete. i start sporting before noon every morning doesn't mean that you get to take shots. i sport more before noon than you do in your life. pete: that is probably true. will: i'm kidding. rachel: i didn't do that. you i went to church. i go on saturdays. sorry about that. lawrence jones will be live from del rio by the way tomorrow.

that will be interesting reporting. we have bill melugin there of course. we're sending lawrence jones. i guess fox will have to carry the big left what is going on the at the border, since many other reporters don't seem to care about it. will: that's true. pete: i hope he will get access to officers at that they're that speak candidly what the front line agents are dealing with. i can't imagine. rachel: it is crazy. will: fox news alert, investigators on the gabby pet tito ways are turning to the effort to find her fiance brian laundrie. pete: his family said he went for a hike but never returned. rachel: that swamp is supposed to be full of alligators. carley shimkus joins us live at the search for gabby and her boyfriend spanses two states. reporter: that's right, rachel.

two different states, have very different circumstances. the search is on for gabby petito and brian laundrie. i want to start with this creek in carlton reserve is where the authorities are looking for brian. 50 police officers from five different agencies, fbi agents, drones, swamp buggies began scow you aring the 25,000-acre expanse yesterday. brian's parents said he went for a hike tuesday and never saw him on back. they reported him missing two days later. why they waited two days to talk to the police,. >> that is a great question. we've been trying to reach the family, them to get answers in this case and saturday. the first time that we've had any in depth full conversation

with them was yesterday. their attorney called and said the family is concerned about brian's whereabouts. reporter: now police called off last night's search by nightfall. it will continue today. meanwhile the search for gabby, now officially in its second week, the fbi in coordination with the national park service, national forest service, teton county sheriff's office and jackson police are conducting ground surveys at the spread creek cam ground which is closed to the public. they're asking anyone who may have seen the couple between the dates of august 30th, asked to call fbi. a women posted a vido tiktok, claiming she picked up brian laundry, said he suddenly became agitated and got out of the car,

listen. >> why he became agitated. i don't know. he just was very set on getting out of the car which is why we pulled up by the dam. that is why he got out. i, i don't know why he wanted to get out so bad. reporter: police say they have spoken to that woman personally and could potentially utilize her information into their timeline. back here in florida, guys, dozens of people gathered in sarasota for a vigil in support of gabpy petito. they're calling her america's daughter. will: thank you. rachel: thank you, carley. pete: great report for sure. the fact that he went for a hike on tuesday and his family didn't report him until friday? rachel: yes. they're clearly in on it. pete: called a head standard or something. if your son is a person ever interest in a missing person and he is gone for more than three or four hours, that is like what is going on here.

three days? a lot of answers. will: i'm extremely inclined to always give the benefit of the doubt in any of these situations. i think the media, almost always, rushes prematurely to a conclusion and often, often wrong. see it when it comes to the covington case, often in criminal defense cases as well. pete: sure. will: really hard, being the most cynical defensive you can be defending the actions of brian laundrie. that doesn't mean i come to a conclusion what is happening in the case. i can't imagine a situation where you wouldn't want to help find your girlfriend, fiance. rachel: fiance. will: location after her disappearance. you clam up. i can't understand the situation at all where you offer zero information. rachel: yesterday we talked a little what is the fascination in our country with this girl a lot, she quit her job, 22, nutritionist. wanted to become a travel blogger, something a lot of

women want to do, so many kids are into instagram and following people, they think they are having so much fun than they are. this is an interesting story how with she was putting on instagram, all these loving, fun, having fun, traveling is not exactly appears, appears not exactly what was really happening. other than the body camera when they were stopped by the cops, they had this altercation, you really can't tell from her video blog what her relationship really looked like. it looked like the perfect life. will: lost the trail. rachel: a lot of weird stuff happening. will: turning now to a few additional headlines with you, starting with this, we referenced it a moment ago, justice for j-6 rally in d.c. crew more press and police than actual protesters. despite law enforcement preparing for potential confrontation, adding security around the capitol, including temporary fencing, having the

national guard on stand-by. plus police dressed in stormtrooper uniforms. the rally was organized for those charged in the january 6 riot. people were arrested during the event carrying weapons. the world's largest tree is in jeopardy as a massive wildfire reaches california's giant forests. crews wrapped the iconic general sherman tree with fireproof foil and cleared debris from its base to protect it from the k and p complex fire. the 275-foot behemoth, is one of several sequoia ripping through sequoia national park. the fire is still at 0% containment. mission complete. the all civilian crew returns to earth. four amateur astronauts were in the dragon capsule as they

closer idea to vaccine mandates. to go to a restaurant, you have to show a vaccination card. rachel: show your papers to eat? pete: exactly. to see that in new york city is heartening. i don't think political leaders are listening, one bit. rachel: there is one guy, bill gates, he is creepy, suggesting we should be more like australia. look at this. i'm sorry, i read it. all countries could get on top of cases very quickly, be more like australia than europe or the united states ended up being. in the same interview he was asked by anderson cooper if we should get to the bottom of the originses of china, of the virus and the lab, and he said he didn't quite believe it came from the lab. he still believing that it didn't come from the lab. by the way it point really matter. will: doesn't really matter, what he had to say on that. the not important. for the sake of clarity, not

warning label? pete: or elite so-called leaders like bill gates, nancy pelosi, anthony fauci, would like to do the same thing here. that wet blanket application in the name of health and safety is what they would like to do but they can't. it is up to the people, so far, to stand up to it. rachel: you're so right, will. when you talk about this neurosis. our social media is full of videos of people on airplanes, you know afraid to be near anyone who is eating a snack. or children, we were just looking during the break at a video after little boy like two years old in a day-care. they spend you know, i don't know how much time trying to get the mask on him. he doesn't want to wear it. he is not in danger of getting covid or -- will: or giving it to anybody. rachel: giving it to anybody. even if he got it would have no symptoms. and i've spoken with so many doctors on fox who have said,

♪. pete: after coming under fire for a botched withdrawal from afghanistan, that is putting it nicely, the pentagon admitted last month's drone strike in kabul killed almost a dozen afghan citizens, including an aid worker and seven children but didn't kill any isis-k terrorists. without boots on the ground joe biden is opting for a return

what you could call cruise missile diplomacy, a risky counter terror strategy favored if you remember by his former boss, president obama. bring in former military intelligence analyst, drone expert, bret belovich. bret, thank you for being here. your implications of this strike in afghanistan and how we use drones generally? >> we have long term mistakes with the strike. mistakes have long term consequences. when i was told when i conduct operations there is major responsible when you conduct all of this. if you have the ability to choose whether someone lives or dies you better be right. the team was completely wrong. the team that conducted this they will have to look for the criteria conducting these strikes in the future. the biden administration will have to look at what is known the signature strikes.

meaning they were given permission to fire against the targets based on a signature of pattern of suspected militant activity versus actually knowing who was in the vehicle. that is very dangerous. this is very atypical operation. typically over the horizon strikes, require a lot of proof of life, intelligence that takes place over course of days or weeks, even months. this was a situation where the military was in a defense sieve posture. they had to act fast from what they believed to be an imminent threat. clearly a lot of mistakes were made. overall the drone program will be scared by this going forward because they will have to take a closer look how the criteria is done in the future. pete: you mentioned when you expand the parameters how these drones are used inevitably you are going to have more complications and if you don't have human intelligence, that is effectively what you're saying, following patterns, using signals intelligence you're going to get things wrong. if you don't have boots there

how much more difficult to strike isis-k or al qaeda? >> that is the danger of not having intelligence on the ground. that is the issue taking our troops. you can't determine from 10,000 feet in the air whether or not the target you're going after has explosives in his car or groceries. you wint be able to fight the war from trailers in nevada. we need boots on the ground. folks to confirm the information. need multiple pieces of intelligence to confirm that information so you can be more precise. unfortunately the biden administration will fight the war from the united states. they defeat they can defeat the terrorist organizations halfway around the world that is unfortunately mistakes like this happen. you can't do that. if people think you can conduct these praises, over the horizon operations without intel on the ground, without eyes and ears. they're in for a rude awakening. pete: that is a great point. over the horizon sounds great

news, there has been a lot of tough stuff. we talked about the border last hour. this morning we're talking about new developments with the afghan survivors of the u.s. drone strike. they're saying an apology is not enough. you remember we said we killed isis-k fighters after 13 of ours killed. news trickled out from "the new york times" and confirmation from the pent fon instead 10 afghan civilians were killed including children. they're saying, that is their words. trey yingst has actually been on the ground. he spoke to afghans whose children were lost in the drone blast. here is a portion of what trey yingst got. >> translator: doctors, very sad for me when i saw it, i'm so confused. i'm so sad. i want for the usa they should punish them. why they do this action? also i want for usa they should pay compensation for house.

>> translator: i ran to the car to take my nephew. my wife called to take my other nephew. i saw the car was burning. i ran to pull out my daughter. she was totally burned. everyone was burned. rachel: this is tragic. those little kids ran out to you know, their uncle and their dad who was getting these water bottles out of the car and this thing happened. i think what's tragic also. is that the biden administration waited 10 days. they knew, they waited for "the new york times" to come out with their story because if you recall, immediately after our heroes were killed, those 13 soldiers and this attack, this misguided attack happened, that we thought was an attack on the terrorists they wanted to change the news cycle, remember? they immediately went to the covid mandates. so had they told the truth, probably when they knew pretty quickly on that this was a mistake, that would have, you know, kept the story going which is exactly what the biden administration didn't want to

have happen. i will say this, will, before i hand it to will. you know, these people, this is horrible. i've seen the pictures of the children that were killed. it is horrific. so we have a president who claims to be the empathizer in chief, consoler in chief. i would like to see our president call these families around personally apologize to them. this is embarrassing and it is going to have huge ramifications for our country. will: you know let's put this in into context. let's put this into context, there is, and has been collateral damage in military over the horizon drone strikes over, put the number like four administrations at this point. there has been, when you approach terrorism in this manner often times collateral damage. this entire operation, this entire incident is, not collateral damage but a massive incompetent mistake. there was no terrorist that was killed. there was no terrorist that was

accurately targeted. just simply an entire family. this is from an administration promised to be the empathizer in chief but adult back in charge. they billed themselves in the room, serious individuals, in charge bringing competency to the american government. this is one example. only one. i would ask you as we talked about yesterday, look at every crisis facing the united states of america. are we competent? do we have adults in charge. you look at images on the screen, you will find the answer. pete: i have a feeling we will pay compensation. i personally paid compensation on the battlefield. something we do when we make mistakes and we should for the families. no doubt you can't take back what we took away from them. there is new reporting in the "new york post," saying the cia after the hellfire missile was fired, gave an indication there might actually be children inside of the vehicle. so, these things are bang, bang split second, once you make a call, right? they were following vehicle for

hours, based on signals intelligence. they thought it went close to isis-k safe house. maybe that is the affiliation. white toyota corolla, there are tons of them, jugs that could look like canisters of explosives. a lot of things adding up with the analysts with signals intelligence. once the hellfire hit, cia folks monitoring it saw the children there. imagine person who hit the button realized later on. that leads to your point, rachel. if you're general milleying going to the podium how quickly after, hours after, a day after, saying this was a righteous strike you would be privy to the idea that the cia moments after the trigger was pulled had an indication there could have been kids in the car. our enemies are savages. there is no doubt about that, they would kill and kill innocent civilians. they will put them in harm's way you about in this, in that place, parked in that courtyard as far away from the airport as

it was, seeing kids in there wouldn't be in keeping with the tactics, techniques and procedures of isis-k at that moment. the pentagon would have known that. what did they know, when they knew it, why did it take them so long to reveal it it is an interesting question. rachel: it is obvious why they held on the information. they love it the news cycle turned to this mandate that joe biden had on covid and wanting to, you know, you know, change the news cycle. that is exactly what this was about. frankly if "the new york times" hadn't followed up, looked at video footage, challenged the administration, we would have this idea somehow, we wouldn't know what we know right now. they wouldn't have been forced to admit what we know right now. pete: does incredible damage to our reputation in the propaganda value it hands our enemies who attempt to make us look like we want to be killing innocents which of course we do not. rachel: right. inspires more terrorism at a moment as we keep talking about that our borders are open.

pete: for sure. good reporting by trey yingst. rachel: absolutely,. pete: to an additional fox news alert. the disappearance surrounding the gabby petito is more complex. rachel: his family says he weren't through the hikes of florida but never returned. pete: carl carley shimkus is with us. reporter: i'm at the myakkahatchee preserve. this is miles from buy and laundry's bribe brian laundrie's house. this is officers from five different age sir and fbi are using drones, k-9s and swamp buggies to scour this 25,000-acre expanse. i just mentioned the challenges

law enforcement are facing. this is a wet, swampy, wooded area, very difficult to navigate. police are also very much aware that bryan is an experienced hiker. >> people that were living off the grid in different areas, you know, i don't know how frequently if he would come out here and do day-long hikes, whatever. it's, you could be out here for months if you wanted. reporter: and to get a leg up, police are using some of brian's clothes for k-9s to be able to get a scent. meanwhile the search for gabby, now officially in its second week, the fbi in coordination with the national parks service, u.s. forest service, teton county sheriff's office and jackson police are conducting ground surveys at the spread creek, first camping area and grand teton which is closed to public. they shut it down. they're asking anyone who may have seen the couple between august 27th and 30th to

contact the fbi. police have received thousands of tips. one of them might prove to be useful. authorities have spoken to a woman who said she picked up laundry in grant teton national park on august 29th. a part of his story didn't add up. >> this is the information. he says that he had hiked for days along snake river but when, like looking at his backpack, it wasn't full, and he said all he had was a tarp to sleep on. reporter: well the woman said the ride ended with him getting agitated and just suddenly getting out of his car. he is not sure what exactly set him off. police say they have been in contact with that woman and they could use that information to factor into their timeline but, like i said, police pulling up as we speak. they're talking, you can see that the search effort is getting you know way for a

second day. guys? send it back to you. will: carley, thank you so much for that reporting, appreciate it. pete: nancy pelosi back at it again. she is commenting now on the state of our economy and capitalism. you reminded us yesterday, properly so she has a ice cream, fridge full of wonderful, beautiful, expensive fancy ice cream. but that is not good enough. didn't serve her well. on friday she made comments about capitalism, the state of it. here is what she said. >> in america capitalism is our system. it is our economic system, but it has not served our economy as well as it should. you cannot have a system where we, the success of some is springs from the exploitation of the workers and springs from the exploitation of the environment and the rest and we have to correct that.

will: really stunning, it really is. you know, it is not, we talked about this yesterday. it is not hypocrisy. that is not strong enough. it is a caste system. it is, i'm behind the velvet rope. now that i'm behind the velvet rope, i can criticize the rope. you will stay on the other side because i am special and you are a plebe. so in other words, any of the systems that allowed me to climb this ladder, what i will do now destroy the ladder to climb to my level. no one exploited people more than nancy pelosi. she is among the richest people in this country without a doubt. that refrigerator you referenced pete? , those are 24,000-dollar refrigerators. those are not the refrigerators of every man, the victims of capitalism. this in her own definition this is an open press -- open press sore. this is one of the exploiters of capitalism. rachel: first of all nothing has lifted more people out of

poverty, misery about capitalism. she is right about one point, there is something wrong about the capitalism right now. i think there is a lot of crony capitalism. i think we have never seen it more on display than during this pandemic, when people who are the donor class of the democrat party were able to remain open. distort the rules, suddenly we had to all buy from them. then the mom-and-pop stores had to close. one of the things nancy pelosi also denies, the prepandemic trump economy did more for the working class. their wages were rising faster and higher than in the history of the united states. it is so sad to see how the pandemic has sort of erased that truth but those are economic data points that we can't ignore. trump economy was the best economy in lift and it was an economy based on putting america

first, capitalism, and taking care of workers. and that, that's what we need to return to. this elite class, socialist version of democratic socialism that nancy pelosi and aoc espouse, aoc gets to go to the met gala for free, to say she is doing it on behalf of the working class, this stuff is crazy and this happens in socialist countries everywhere socialism has failed. wherever it has been tried and there are always been elites like aoc and nancy pelosi who claim to be on the side of the worker in those systems but are actually as you say, the ones behind the velvet rope. pete: well-said. crony capitalism is using your political connections to create an advantage for yourself at some level. that is what she does. rachel: that's her. pete: that's her. listen to that quote. springing from the exploitation of the workers. sounds like karl marx. ultimately she is setting up that dichotomy.

she is a total fraud, absolute fraud. try to pick the word for it, and the self-hating nature of it is political. she knows capitalism works. there is no better system that channels human nature, ultimately self-interest better everyone. look around america what it has become in 250 years. you can't deny the evidence before us. politically it is advantageous to cater to tax the rich lady, the base of her party she depends on to maintain speaker ship. only for another year-and-a-half. rachel: biden policies, taking companies here in the united states, came back to the united states under the trump administration, are now thinking about going back to china. many have gone back to china. the inflation that they're causing because of their spending is hurting the working class. it is not even affecting her. she doesn't even notice it, she is so itch. inflation is a real tax on the working class. people are feeling it every day when they go to the grocery store.

we'll have to move on from nancy pelosi and socialism. all right. up next, new cdc findings reveal children are gaining weight at an alarming rate and the pandemic could be, i believe, is to blame. fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel who we live breaks it down. plus a knave navy veteran reacts to the generosity of strangers. >> no, you're kidding! i don't know what to say, america. rachel: the effort to get him a new scooter capturing hearts across america. ♪. psst! psst! allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting

♪. will: in the wake of the pandemic, a generation of american kids will be faced with a higher risk of poor health in adulthood. that is according to a new cdc study which found some kids bmi, or body mass index, approximatelily doubled amid the outbreak. let's bring in fox news medical contributor dr. mark siegel.

dr. siegel, that is concerning enough, that children's bmi perhaps doubled during the pandemic. but when you add to that the status ticks i have seen -- statistics i have seen, the severity of covid exposure, hospitalizations, the biggest correlation is to obesity. more than lockdowns, more than masks, anything that contributes to covid disease inflicting people severely being overweight, being obese, that is exactly the condition we're imposing upon our children. >> you are 100% right, will. remember the term we were using all along with the pandemic, collateral damage and i said for months, public health isn't just about the virus. it is what you do when you overreact to the virus or react to it. the centers for disease control said in this thud did i they admit it, the change in pattern of children's lifestyle, being shut down from school. they found it especially

youngest children home, in poor neighborhoods, without necessarily to the access of usual people they're seeing. not knowing, even having access to a ipod or a laptop. all of this caused great stress. it causes stress eating. they didn't have the proper nutrition used to getting in schools. all of this is in especially social economic disadvantaged communities. cdc admits. they studied 20,000 kids from 2020. heart disease results, diabetes results, sleep apnea, and as you said severe covid results. kids are double the amount of obesity before. total disgrace not understanding what public health means. will: we created this situation. i use the term loosely the public health officials create the situation putting conditions in place for kids to become overweight. now they will suffer health

conditions but also covid related conditions in greater proportions. go ahead really quickly. >> i have to add one more point to you as a sports expert. what about the lack of no physical activity, no physical education, no gym, kids not playing basketball. what happens. the kids. will: nfl programs, play 60, get kids out to play. for the past two years we forced them not to get out to play. i want to read you something from the scientific journal "the lancet," they say, there is no direct support for the natural origin of covid. and a laboratory related accident is plausible, contrary to the first letter published in "the lancet," we don't think scientists should promote unity. research related hypothesis are not misinformation and conjecture. science embraces contradictory arguments, verification, rhett fewability and controversy.

that is science. depart frog this principle risks establishing dogmas, abandoning essence of science, and even worse paving the way for conspiracy theories. the here is the lancet getting it right today. this is, dr. siegel after getting it wrong for the better part of two years. >> they have egg on their face because they had the letter from scientists, 27 of them peter dozen these 16 scientists from around the world are actually saying today in the same publication, "the lancet," hey, by the way genetic engineering can have cause irregularities in the virus and passed through cultures in animals and labs. by the way there is no evidence whatsoever in 2 1/2 or two years of any natural origins. they haven't found it in intermediary creatures.

they haven't found it coming in nature. all of that put together is very disturbing. genetic engineering on the table. will: all very disturbing. dr. siegel, great to talk to you this morning. >> thanks will as always. will: dhs left scrambling after hundreds of migrants unindate our southern border. our next guest says the president was warned about the situation months ago the but he did nothing. his message to the administration. ast. my husband, sam, we've been married 53 years. we love to walk on the beach. i have two daughters and then two granddaughters. i noticed that memories were not there like they were when i was much younger. since taking prevagen, my memory has gotten better and it's like the puzzle pieces have all been [click] put together. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. i order my groceries online now.

right there, brand new to fox from the ground yesterday. bring in national border patrol council vice president art del cueto. thanks very much for being here. i'm sure you have seen the images. mind-blowing with the situation that agents are dealing with. dhs says we're sending 400 more. we're moving some to other locations. many will be deported. what do you make of how they're attempting to address the situation and are they addressing it at all? >> well, it is frustrating especially when you know they were told back on june 17th about the issue that was going to come up. it happens oftens right? you get different surges that come up. cbp, dhs they're all warned it is coming but always seems like when something happens they're caught behind the eight ball. this one being just horrific, knowing, you know, the dangers, seeing the individuals coming across, you still have the covid issue that constantly gets

a true asylum case. but that is part of the problem. they get caught behind the eight ball. they're always trying to play catch-up. you have issues like this. now you will go ahead and add, you have a lot of agents frustrated, a lot of agents are moved from one area to the other. you have the ports of entry where there is a major port you can help the economy. now those are shut down. then you go ahead and add mandates for the covid vaccine. you know, we're getting word a lot of agents are not going to do it, quit their job, find something else. now you will have even more after depleted force. this administration doesn't care about the border patrol agents out there, doesn't care about the law enforcement putting their lives on the line. they don't care about the individuals trying to enter this country legally or illegally and they just, they have given up on caring about american citizens. pete: such an interesting point, to deal with the illegals under the bridge, you have to close

the legal port of entry to man all illegals there, stopping all legal movement from mexico to the united states and vice versa. i got to get, you talked about how they should have seen this coming. a lot of haitians camped out under the texas bridge followed instructions circulated on facebook's whatsapp, this is how you get from the island of haiti, to the central or south america, into mexico and up to del rio. if we know that is happening, and they're communicating we should have gotten ahead of it or deterred it, right? >> definitely. you know, some of us will look at that whatsapp times, that is what even drug smugglers are using to pinpoint areas to drop off drugs through the the united states along the southern border. pete: right in front of our ice. almost looks like they don't want to see it. that is why they tried to ground drones temporarily. they will continue to conditions and a situation that is

borderless, lawless and puts our agents in impossible places where they can't stop smugglers, got got aways. thank you very much, art. >> thank you. pete: sean duffy joins us out on fox square with his wife rachel, as we get ready to see who among us is the grilling champ. do i sense that rachel is looking for familial assistance on her recipe? is that allowed in the bylaws for the "fox & friends" grilling competition? we'll find out. i already see grounds for protest. ♪

>> she is government tax employee. virginia tax dollars pay her salary. she should feel more oppressed around fire her. this is disturbing. this is not a one-off. this is happening throughout america. this is not a few little rifle shots, here are some crazies in schools. we have crazy all over our schools. we the taxpayers fund it. unless we start to rethink our teaching colleges, you're never going to get rid of this anti-american, hate america, divide us by race if, this is about actually reverse racism. i warrant to make white people feel bad about their race, because that will be do what happened 200 years ago. but one last point. what rachel and i do to undo this, we talk to our kids all the time. this, you got to undo this, will. if you don't talk to your kids, this is the garbage they buy in their schools. no wonder they come out and they're all wokefied and hate america, hate their whiteness around become activists.

will: to your point this is not a one-off, a few weeks ago we did a story in northern california, a teacher had radical stuff, posters from north korea all over his wall. we get stuff from los angeles unified school district where they had antifa, black lives matter, posters in one teachers classroom, said f the police. this is what the school district is saying. used liesing decorations in the learning environments all l.a. unified teachers are expected to adhere to district policies and mindful of our mission to educate children, with all policies of inclusion. any displays overtly objectively political, run afoul of our policies. the posters have been brought down. that was a word salad of inclusion and say the right words and in the end say we might have messed up here. you can't put that stuff on our walls. >> we'll not enforce our rules. you can put it up. if you don't put it on the wall, you can still talk about the philosophies to our kids. encourage them to go to the

antifa, black lives matter riots, do a little burning, do a little looting. that is what the kids become. rachel: you're so right, shawn. so much is about turning kids into activists. pete: that is the goal. rachel: the virginia tech teacher was interesting, she came from appalachia. this idea simply because you're a minority, that you are oppressed there are people from appalachia, there are children who are not a minority, who are white who come from backgrounds that are challenging and i think doing this by race and not by class is really not the way it should be. i think we're all equal. but if we're going to acknowledge disadvantages, we ought to acknowledge class and poverty as a disadvantage. i think, sean and i talk about this a lot, i think a lot of this affirmative action, a lot of this race theory stuff is to benefit upper middle class minoritys who end up taking advantage of these programs more

than some of the poor kid that we think that these programs are going to. so anyway, we have a great podcast from the kitchen table. we actually brought in that kid daniel that you interviewed last weaken. this kid wrote an amazing op-ed in "new york post." he talks about how he has been inoculated from being wokefied and sean, i got to talk to him. he was awesome. >> he is a smart kid. talked about what his parents did not to be so woke, to love america, love our history. it's a great podcast. rachel and i were moving. we did it in our car. rachel: yeah. we did the pod cost from the car. >> if you hear motorcycles going by, yelling at us, it is a fun podcast. >> is. but it is a how to, how to for parents, what do you do to inoculate your kids from the ideology. >> can i say this? the best podcast of the week was will's. it was good. listen to will's podcast.

[laughter] my american flag, obviously -- . rachel: we'll need to to get drunk. this is getting too much. will: we've got to move. we need to read the news for you now. the images from the border have been disturbing, and they keep coming in. rachel described it earlier as a shantytown you might see somewhere in south america. but instead, that's along the american side of the southern

border of the united states of america. that's 15,000 migrants who have made their way to the international bridge in del rio, texas. most of them haitian. in that encampment, that tent city is on the american side of the rio grande. rachel: it's just so hard to believe. thank god we have these images. these are the images that the biden administration tried to prevent you from are seeing. this does look like a shantytown in latin america. this does not look like america. and i'm telling you this is all coming on the heels of, you know, massive covid mandates and restricting americans. we have dr. fauci talking about wanting to restrict us from traveling if we're not vaccinated. what do you think about the conditions here? i don't see any porta-potties. the sheriffs -- there's some there but, i mean, not enough to accommodate all this. sheriffs have been dying for

support. they're writing letters to the president of the united states. he doesn't even respond to the letters. pete, you spoke to art del cueto from the national border patrol council. here's what he had to say about it. >> cbp, dhs, they're all warned that it's coming, but it always seems like when something happens, they're caught behind the 8-ball. this one being just horrific knowing, you know, the dangers and seeing the individuals that are coming across. you still have the covid issue that constantly gets brought up, agents that are getting moved from certain areas of the southern border. this administration doesn't care about the border patrol agents out there, doesn't care about our law enforcement putting their lives on the lean, they don't about the individuals who are trying to -- the country. pete: this is a moment where it is quite stark to emphasize imagine if this was president trump. imagine if this shantytown was

allowed to exist -- that's a government holding facility. let's not pretend it's anything other than that. these are people who have turned themselves into cbp if, wanting to claim asylum, most of which are from haiti. the media would be losing their minds. otherwise there's very little coverage of this. what did the media cover yesterday? it was the justice for j6 rally in washington, d.c. where there were more press than there were protesters, and they put a wall up around the capitol. yet they don't want a wall on the southern border to deal with floods like this, so we're sending 400 more agents to del rio to effectively babysit instead of actually patrolling the border as thousands of gotaways get in each and every day helped by cartels into our country. it is an abdication of respondent. rachel: absolutely. and that is the rally that the national press was so interested in. they also had the national guard. i say why don't we send the

national guard to protect our border. the border patrol is overwhelmed. they want to do their job, and i read some interviews from them earlier, will, and some of them were saying we actually -- our job is to protect the border. we actually feel like the biden administration is inviting these people in. their policies are bringing them in. what are we doing? it's so demoralizing, what's happening to border patrol. and, by the way, when they sent the letter to president biden saying please help us, the sheriffs did, he didn't respond. i believe donald trump, a, that would not have happened but, b, donald trump would meet with them. he would want to hear what their concerns were. will: all throughout this week lawrence jones will be live from del rio, texas, to keep you up-to-date. that's one thing that we're doing right here with fox. we turn now to a fox alert, the the investigation into gabby petito is switching to two

states. pete: wyoming where gabby last contacted her family, and in florida they're searching rugged terrain for her boyfriend, brian laundrie. will: authorities begin day two of the search for brian laundrie. >> reporter: day two has begun. we just saw dozens of north port police vehicles, sarasota county sheriff's vehicles enter, some of them from the k-9 unit, others carrying swamp buggies that are helping law enforcement navigate that went terrain about 5 miles away from brian brian laundrie's parents' house. they reported him missing days later. now, when asked why the laundries waited so long, spokesman josh taylor had this to say. >> that's a great question, you know? we've obviously been trying to reach the family to get answers

in this case. saturday. the first time that we've had any in depth conversation with them was yesterday. their attorney called and said the family is concerned about brian's whereabouts. >> reporter: police also have some of brian's clothes for k-9s to get a sense, but they're going to have a heck of a time finding him. this is a vast expanse, that 25,000 acres, and on top of that, it's filled with alligators. meanwhile, the search for gabby is now officially in its second week. the fbi, in coordination with the national park service, teton county sheriff's office and jackson police are conducting ground surveys at the spread creek camping area in grand teton which is now closed to the public. they are also asking anyone who may have seen the couple between august 27 and the 30th to

contact the fbi. they're kind of honing in on that time frame. also of note, a woman posted a video on tiktok claiming she picked up laundrie in grand teton national park on august 29th. she says he suddenly becamage anticipated and got out --age anticipated and got out of the car. >> why he becamage anticipated, i don't know. he just was very set on getting out of the car which is why we pulled up by the dam, and that's why he got out. i don't know why he wanted to go back. >> reporter: well, police say they have spoken to the woman, and they could potentially use her information in their timeline. the other thing, remember, on friday police spoke to the laundries for over two hours. they say that the laundries give them no investigation in the search for gabby petito, they

were exclusively interested in finding their son, brian with. so that is where things stand on this sunday as the search effort for both gabby and brian continues. rachel: thank you. a crazy story. pete: yeah. we're listening, but we're also discussing why did it take so long for the family to turn him in? it feels like you're complicit in that, and then why is he without the van hitchhiking if he came home with the van? so many questions. i guess that's why there's a fixation on it. rachel: yeah. and it was a travel blog that started this whole add venture and the pictures and beautiful images that you saw of her camping, you know, in the bathtub, this is obviously not what this trip really was like behind the scenes. pete: social media's not real? rachel: social media's not real, and this is a case of it. hopefully, we'll get more answers. will: you know, there's a children's story about if you lie over and over again, what happens when you turn and tell

the truth? nobody if listens to the truth. it's called the boy who cried wolf over and over. here's the boy who cried wolf other and over. the lancet is to today cawing for -- calling for transparent debate on the origins of covid saying the scientific process involves embracing things that can often be called conspiracy. that is the lancet today. pete: that's what they're saying now. could this be related to the fact that we've learned 26 of the 27 people that signed the letter initially were tied to chinese researchers and the chinese lab? that was a definitive letter, i don't know, what was it two years ago? right at the beginning. definitive letter in the lancet saying anything other than a natural origin theory is a conspiracy theory. the lancet is the harvard of journals, and we say so, therefore it is, and now they're changing their tune, today?

rachel: they really tried to throw, very early on, throw america and the world off the scent of the chinese, and now we know it was because they were being funded by the chinese. and there are so many people in this story whether it's bill gates or anthony fauci or these researchers at lancet who contributed to this article, so many people with these ties to china. our enemy, by the way. and so it's a very serious story. it's about covid, but it's also about china and what to we do -- do we do with them. will: for two years it was a conspiracy theory. that wasn't just rhetoric, that was published in the lancet. along with, by the way, the effectiveness of the vaccine, whatever was said with authority over the last 18 months, but now today here's what they are saying, there's no direct support for the natural origin of sars cover -- cov-2.

we to knot think scientists should promote unity. more importantly, science embraces alternate, con a that districtly arguments, verifications and controversy. departing from this principle risks establishing dogma. maligning anyone who does any of those things as proprietors of misinformation, my lesson to the lancet would be you cried wolf. rachel: it's this premier scientific journal. that editor who published that report with 26 of the 27 compromised researchers telling us it couldn't have come from natural originses, he should step down because after this there's no respect for that journal.

will: there's already no respect. pete: there's already no respect, but that's what you should want to hear from scientists, right? rachel: right! pete: ultimate hypotheses is, questioning, not dogma. but they were the dogma for a year and a half. rachel: this entire pandemic has been about that. this entire pandemic has been about telling people who want to challenge what the establishment is saying. pete: turning now to a few additional headlines. the man accused of shooting alex murdaugh speaks out. curtis smith telling "the new york post" he was not a hired hit man and, quote, never hurt anyone. he claims murdaugh called him to a rural road and pulled out a gun. he tried to wrestle the game out of murdaugh's hand. he says he fled the scene and is being set up. wow. there's another side of the story.

♪♪ will: the august drone strike in kabul did not kill terrorists, instead killed innocent afghans including children. rachel: that's right. the biden administration is calling the mission a tragic mistake. ten people were killed. pete: so what message does this send the world?

retired marine corporal and medal of honor recipient dakota meyer joins us now. thanks for being here. what message does this now send to the world? >> i mean, first off, it just shows that we have a leader that is a complete failure at everything that he does. but as far as to our enemies, i mean, it just shows the incompetency, the level of incompetency that we have as far as leading this country right now. to me, i think it shows weakness, i think it shows if there was ever a time to strike, you talk china, you look at them and you think, you know, what are they thinking in their mind? they're going to go and try to take taiwan, if they're going to ever go after something and make a move, right now would be the time because, i mean, america has weak leadership. pete: and don't worry, we'll call them first and tell them we're going to attack. rachel: thank good george

washington didn't do that -- thank god george washington didn't do that when he crossed the on christmas. how much responsibilities do the generals have? a lot of people talk about joe biden and when he checked out, what about general milley? what about secretary austin who seems to be a little bit absent these days? what kind of responsibility do they have? how does that affect morale for the soldiers who are serving under them? >> well, i mean, you talk -- let's, you know, let's see what happens with this general milley thing, right? surely he's going to have to testify in front of congress. surely the fbi's going to to go raid his house like we've seen happened to anyone involved with trump. surely if there's any merit to the fact that he called china behind the president's bark i mean, i don't see -- and he says

this is protocol. if that is protocol, then i think the united states of america should probably be looking into their protocols of going and telling a country that -- i mean, china is an enemy of the united states and letting them know that i'll call you before we do anything? i mean, what practice, who does that? for that, for general milley, i mean, general milley will be fired -- hopefully he's fired. we do not need this type of leadership at the top of the world's most powerful leadership in any way. but as far as on the ground, i mean, look, you know, you talk about this drone strike. i can tell you right now there is nobody who wears the nation's cloth that is down at the ground level that wants to hurt innocent people. what it tells me is, is that this administration, that our generals are too busy playing politics like a lot of times they do. they aren't putting our men and women many positions to be successful. and that's the key to it, right

in anytime you're having to make a quick decision, you're trying to react, you know, the level of taking a shot that could possibly have, you know, that could possibly have consequences like you've just seen are high her. but the problem is, is that our generals, our leadership of the united states military should have never put these men and women in that position, and that is the facts. will: reports are, and pete mentioned this earlier, that the cia knew moments before the strike there were children involved, and yet days after general milley's calling it a righteous strike. he had that information at the moment he called it a righteous strike. dakota, the always good to see you. thanks for jumping on with us this morning. a navy veteran learns he's getting a new scooter after the one he uses to get around breaks down. >> in 24 hours people on tiktok, strangers who have never met you but love you, donated $5,000 for a scooter for you. >> oh, you're kidding?

shantytown in, you know, peru, but that is not. that is america. and this is our side of the border. and this is our border patrol completely overwhelmed, unable to keep these people in detention centers because they're just chock full of people, and so now we have these shantytowns being set up. god knows what the sanitation is. you can imagine in texas they're very worried about this, speaking to border patrol agents the worst is yet to come. they're worried about what is behind here, they're worried about coordination with mexico. pete, this is what happens when you take away the mexico policy. pete: yeah. look at those photos. and he's saying the worst is yet to come? that is a government holding facility, that's what you're looking at right now. i believe now it's received the word bidenville. imagine if this had been under donald trump what they would be a saying about the refugee camp

on the border with black and brown people putting them in horrid, squalid conditions. that right there is bidenville. that right there is what his policies have given us in texas under that bridge. given an area code, a zip code, i don't care, but that's what our government has decided is official policy. come to our board, it's wide open, we don't have enough agents, the only wall we're building is around the capitol for a couple dozen protesters. it's open season and ultimately who's the mayor? i don't know. it's either joe biden or cam that harris. looking into -- kamala harris. looking into root causes and really nailing it rye knockout. will: tent cities popped up back during the depression, and they called them hoovervilles. you see homeless encampments across the entire state of california, you've seen the homeless population rise in new york city, you see people living on the streets, living in tents,

[inaudible conversations] rachel: you talk about this being, you know, bidenville. these are the people that made it over. one of the things we don't talk enough about is the people who don't make it over. i've been in contact with firefighters, first responders and sheriffs and border patrol agents along the southern border, many of them call me, they're finding so many bodies in the desert, those who don't make it. and if they're calling them biden bodies. that's what our law enforcement is calling them because there's so many.

tragic stories of people who don't make it over. pete: what a perfect diversion for a coyote to take people on dangerous journeys who they don't care about at all, disregard and leave in the desert at a moment's notice. rachel: we've seen video of them abandoning children who become a burden along the road, and thank god our border patrol who are heroes, quite frankly, because if you look at this situation -- at this situation, the border patrol is the greatest humanitarian organization in the western hemisphere as far as i'm concerned. they're heroes, and they're begging our president for help. can you imagine donald trump not responding to a letter from the sheriff? that would have never happened. and, in fact, this -- we saw the democrats, will, freaking out over kids being in a detention center for over 24 hours with what do they call those, the balloon kepts, the emergency balloon kepts, they were freaking out -- balloon kepts. they were -- blankets.

they were freaking out. will: the sheriff, javier salazar, this is what he a to say. i believe we have it now. >> i haven't made it known publicly, but i sent a letter to president biden not too long ago asking him to come down here to meet with me and other of sheriffs. we haven't received any reply, but i'm frustrate. i do want him to do more, you know? i'm, i'm just -- right now we all need to be working together, and at this point it seems like a lot of us don't have much of a plan. pete: yeah. you said it right, rachel9 not only is there no plan, there's two conflicting plans. there's board agents that believe in their jobs, that there's a legal way to come across and and is an illegal way, and then there's an administration which has embraced open borders and lawlessness and effectively said come on in. kamala harris went down to those triangle countries and said don't come. but that was all window dressing, and everyone knew it wasn't true.

and now in the case of haiti, you've got almost 15,000 haitians here effectively at the border, and she's not doing much about root causes because that was always a cover-up for the idea that open borders advantages them eventually down the line at the ballot box. all they want is for it not to be seen. that's why cameras were such a problem. don't let it be seen. as long as it's not seen, no one hears about it, they come across. that's why the media playing a role, especially at this moment, is so important. people need to see it. rachel: that's right. and this is by design, and that's why that sheriff is so frustrated. remember, kamala harris was put in charge as the border czar. she was supposed -- she said, well, i want to get to the root causes, but the only place you can find her is in photo op moments like this. this is a woman who really relishes the fact that she was, you know, the first woman, the first woman of color as the vice president. she loves to win the identity

politics olympics, and here she is at her alma mater, howard university, where i'm sure she's very proud to be the most decorated, highest ranking government official to come out of howard university. but she's not doing her job, will. will: no. she's pointing out howard versus hampton. this is what the mayor of del rio had to say is: the vp is able to visit across the country while american communities continue to grapple with failed immigration re where is the visit to del rio, texas? that's a question that's been asked now for going on seven months. pete: you're right. she did visit the border, but everyone pointed out it's not the part of the border that was under siege, it was the border she wanted to see to give the message she wanted. she stayed as far away -- any leader knows whether it's military or government, if you want to address an issue, you go to the heart of the problem. you don't make up the root causes and pretend -- if the problem is, and you pointed this out, rachel, the policies of

this administration are the root cause. it's the dropping remain in mexico and refusing to build the wall and not empowering border agents, sending all the wrong signals. they are the problem. so, in her mind, she's better off flipping a coin. i don't care. rachel: alejandro mayorkas' job is to protect our border. he is the head of homeland security, so i think if you look at this, you have to say he's fail. he ought to be impeached. that is a humanitarian crisis, and it is a national security crisis. we are just now released hundreds of prisoners, maybe a thousand prisoners from bagram air base. they were terrorists, and now we have an open border. now we have terrorists who have been emboldened, will, because of -- will: those two crises won't remain mutually exclusive for very long. rachel: exactly. will: lawrence jones will be live there all week -- pete: by the way, we're sending 400 more agents, and they're

saying haitians will start to be deported. we're going to be there. rachel: just like they said they're going to clear the deportation centers, and what they did is use our money and fly them into the interior of the country so we wouldn't have to see it. we're seeing this problem now. looking forward to see lawrence jones' reporting, as well as bill melugin. all right, right now authorities are on the ground in florida beginning day two of their search for gabby petito's boyfriend, brian laundry. pete: the investigation -- brian laundry. will: carley shimkus joins us live with the latest on both search efforts. >> reporter: that's right, will, pete and rachel, the search is on for both gabby petito and brian laundrie. things are have really picked up, we've seen dozens of police

vehicles enter this creek area, swamp buggies as well as k-9 units. we are about 5 miles away brian lauren create's participants' house. and just moments ago fox news digital confronted brian's mom. >> hi, roberta, could i ask you a few questions? why aren't you helping with the police? why are you covering up for your son? >> reporter: meanwhile, the search for gabby is now officially in its second week. authorities are conducting ground surveys at the spread creeking camping area in grand teton. police have received thousands of tips. one of them might prove very useful. police have spoken to a woman 40 said she picked up laundrie on august 29th x a part of his story didn't add up. >> this is the information. he says that he had hiked for days along snake river. but when, like, looking at his

backpack, its wasn't full -- it wasn't full, and he said all he had was a tarp to sleep on. if. >> reporter: and the woman says the ride ended when laundrie became agitated and got out of the car for some reason. police say they've spoken to her and could potentially factor her story and encounter with him into their timeline. if back here in florida, it's not just the search effort. this community's been rocked by the disappearance of gabby petito, and there was a vigil held in her honor yesterday. they are now calling her network's daughter -- america's daughter. bang to you in the studio -- back to you in the studio. rachel: crazy story. we're hoping to get some conclusionings. it seems to be a mystery that has another turn, another turn -- pete: you know someone involved knows something. rachel: all right. it sounds like the family -- pete: gone for three days and they didn't call the police. rachel: we're going to talk to

nancy grace later in the show. turning now to your headlines, a connecticut officer is charged with killing a fellow officer while speeding in a rolls royce. he allegedly lost control, hitting an occupied car and utility pole before fling over. the new haven officer was ejected from the front passenger seat, and he tragically later died in the hospital. ferraro is being held on a $100,000 bond. fox weather, flash flooding turning streets into lakes in tuscaloosa, alabama. heavy rain, first responders having to make several rescues actually as someone against the advice of officials to stay inside. a student at the university of alabama capturing some young men attempting to float down the street in a bucket. a navy veteran thought he was out of luck when his scooter

broke beyond repair, but his friends got the word out, and they posted this video of kenny jary's reaction when he heard the news. >> $45,000 -- >> what? $45,000? that's like winning the lottery. rachel: kenny and amanda joined us earlier. here's kenny's reaction when we told him live on air that donations had actually reaches $75,000. >> sir, i've sure got a flock of angels, believe me. they're all watching over me. i just ain't got enough words for it. all these wonderful people out there in the world, i just want to thank them so much. rachel: they plan to use the money for two new scooter, medical bills and finding a safe place for kenny to live. and those are your headlines. will: pretty cool to watch him -- rachel: yeah. let me tell you live where it's

at. will: he asked for us to repeat that. pete: it was cool. i was reading the comments on "fox & friends," rachel, i really feel like it's between you and me right now. will, i'm not trying -- initial indication. rachel: i like america -- pete: on the comments -- rachel: america likes lamb. pete: i think america likes you -- [laughter] will: i don't believe it. pete: i got an e-mail from a man who says i believe your prime steak first, lollipop lamb -- will: what country is this? if lamb over ribs. -- [laughter] will: is this america? pete: look at this -- will: i don't understand how i could use to del frisco's and lamb.

today. i couldn't agree with you more. i can't think of anything more divisive. we keep focusing on what makes us different instead of what unites us as americans. >> yeah. learning i want to be clear here, isaiah thomas is a very dear friend of mine, and i think it's unfair to say he was blasting the nfl. er think he was pointing out the -- i think he was pointing out the obvious that i think we all agree on, you can't have two national anthems if you want to be one country. and we were having a -- we had a two hour conversation and the last hour and twenty minutes of it focused on race and some of the divisive issues we have going on in this country. isaiah's someone that believes that that, you know, like, race is a false construct, and we need to get beyond race x. so we were just having that discussion, and within that discussion the national anthem came up, and the black national

anthem came up. and i think anybody that's a rational person realizes two national anthems is unhealthy, it's not unifying and that the nfl -- now, this is me talking, not isaiah, the nfl has bent over backwards for black lives matters and the marxist agenda and has adopted practices that totally contradict everything you're taught anything team sports and everything that the nfl was about. football sundays used to be one of the most unifying experiences we a had in this cup. people of all different races, economic welcomeds, sexes, everything -- backgrounds, everything, would come together and root for their teams. now they've turned things political and they're kissing the ring of the black lives matter movement. will: own of the national -- one of the national anthems isn't for you, that's what's implied.

i had privilege of being on your show a couple of weeks ago. i haven't yet heard isaiah, i know him, and i think a lot of him. he's an interesting guy. he's not just is out here throwing around hot -- you're -- he did have his moment with larry bird a long time ago, so i'd love to know more about his evelyn: pollution. let's listen to him talk about our founding fathers and this idea of unity. >> what our founding fathers when they wrote the constitution and everything else, they were talking about bringing us together under one umbrella, under one constitution where all men and women are created equal. not these black, white, red, yellow color boxes, you know? we were aspiring to be that. will: so, jason, i can't wait to

hear more about isaiah i don't know if it's his evolution or not to, but his view on race. >> will, let me warn you, over the course of the two hour conversation and particularly the last hour and twenty minutes, what you're going to hear is a guy on a journey. i don't think -- and isaiah's very smart and it's difficult for me to speak for him, but this is my interpretation of our conversation that i had with him. isaiah's on a journey. he contradicts himself to some degree during our conversation. you've got -- isaiah, one of the smartest athletes, one of the best people i know. he did get a master's degree from cal-berkeley. so he has been bathed a little bit in that far-left thinking x. so some of what you hear will be like, wow, i totally get it, i agree. and then you'll hear, like, well, this is a man at odds with

himself because the consistency of point of view isn't there. will: right. >> and the consistency of logic sometimes it seems -- will: but, jace swen, you know what -- i appreciate his willingness to have that conversation. and he's always been willing -- i know that about isaiah. he's not living in an ivory castle. he's willing to have these conversations. and even if he comes out imperfect on the other side, he's here for it. pete: yeah. well, you sold us on it. folks can check it out, fearless with jason whitlock. jason, thanks so much. always great. appreciate it. >> thank you, guys. rachel: wonder where this is all going to end. there are going to be lots of different national anthems -- pete: i love how you describe, he's a friend? that's a tough tight trope walk. he's -- tight rope to walk. that's going to be a fascinating conversation. rachel: all right. coming up, fox news is pressing the mom of brian laundrie as investigators search for her son

confronting the family because it's been so apparent now that they must know something. >> well, they've got to know something because what we know is this: brian laundrie came home september 1. and even though gabby's parents were texting, e-mailing, calling, they did not let them know where gabby was. but they had brian laundrie there until september 11 when they find out, gabby's family finds out he's parked the van right there without gabby, that's when they -- gabby's family -- report her missing. so so finally people are speaking out, but it's interesting to me that the laundries act like life is going on as normal. gabby is missing and now their son is missing. now, if you look very carefully, reports say the family says he left in his vehicle. but the vehicle is parked at the parents' house. that's not true. are they covering? is he really on a walk-about at

the carlton reserve at state park, nearly 25,000 acres, about 80-90 camping -- many of them under hiking -- many of them underwater right now? going to make it very difficult. scent dogs can track underwater, but it's much more difficult. i notice they took out a bag of evidence from the laundrie home, guarantee that was some of his clothes for the tracker dog to try and get his scent. it begs the question, why did met leave in the middle of the search for gabby? rachel: right. this whole thing has been so fascinating to watch. i think so many people are intrigued because this whole thing started off as a video, you know, travel blog that went wrong. you follow cases like this so much is, nancy. based on what you're seeing, that he's disappeared, that they're searching in wyoming, what are the chances this beautiful girl is still alive? >> there's a slim chance. there is a chance.

the fact that the fbi and so many people are on the ground looking for her there in wyoming at the state park, now interesting, she was at the spread creek dispersed camping. what does is that? you're not where they've got the trash and the showers, you're in a dispersed area out off the grid. that is going to make it harder. now, he reportedly as i call her the tiktok girl, a young woman that actually picked him up on the road after gabby a had not been seen, he's clean, he's -- he doesn't smell, he's got a half empty backpack. this is after she's last heard from. and she says they're going to jackson hole, he freaks out, gets out of the car and tries to hitch another ride. he says he had been on the snake river camping on a tarp.

now, why was he so neat and clean and where was gabby even then? rachel: yeah. it just doesn't make any sense. there's so many twists and turns, and things are coming out almost by the hour, new information about him -- >> one more thing? rachel: yeah, sure. >> one more thing? i wish they'd served warrants on the home on day one, but that said is, i would be looking at every rental car agency, every private plane, because i don't know that he's in carlton reserve. are the parents telling me the truth in i have no reason to believe yes or no, and recently a young man walking around with -- unless he got a full sleeve tattoo, that's not him. rachel: nancy, we're going to have more information, and we're going to be watching your special tonight. it's called the gabby petito investigation with nancy grace tonight at 10 p.m. on fox news. nancy, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you.

pete: all right, rick. nancy pelosi tearing into american capitalism, the same system that seems to have worked out pretty well for her. >> in america capitalism is our system, it is our economic system. but it has not served our economy as well as it should. you cannot have a system where the success of some stands on the exploitation of the workers and springs from the exploitation of the environment and the rest, we have to correct that. pete: "sunday morning futures" anchor maria bartiromo is here to react. maria, thanks for being here. so american capitalism just exploitation of workers. is that our american speaker of the house or karl marx? maria: unbelievable. you know, it's interesting -- pete, great to be with you this morning. it's interesting that she's talking about this in europe where we have seen socialism may

out to the detriment of the people. look, i think we had the perfect example of what capitalism can do when we saw the 2017 tax cut legislation of the trump administration cut taxes for all income levels, and what did we see happen? we saw the bottom earners see increases much higher than everybody else. people on the bottom end of the scale were actually seeing a change in the income gap for the first time in decades because their taxes went down, and they were able to see much bigger wage gains than the richest of them. so i think we've had a lesson in capitalism as a result of that tax cut plan, but nancy pelosi wants to continue pursuing this state of reliance on the government. that's why she's pushing through this $5.5 trillion spending plan even as there are fires to be put out across the world like the southern border and afghanistan.

pete: there sure are. you're right, it's a $3.5 trillion that's actually going to cost much more than that if you're honest about the numbers. i know you'll be breaking that down and a lot of things on your show this morning. what do you have, maria? maria: we've got a great show. just to be clear, the reason that they're saying 3.5 trillion is because they've got a whole host of gimmicks that go away in the middle of the 10-year period. once you give somebody something, you take it away, that's why it's actually $5.5 trillion. we're going to talk about that with the ranking member on the budget committee, jason smith, and we will dig in on afghanistan and these wide open borders with former secretary of state mike pompeo. we're also talking with eric trump after that john durham indictment. you know, it was eric trump who got the first group of phone calls from reporters who were saying, oh, we hared that there are servers -- heard there are servers within the trump administration that are tied to a bank in russia called the alpha bank. he had no idea what they were

talking about, and that began a year-plus-long attack on the trump administration and donald trump for so-called collusion with russia. pete: yes. maria: we'll get to it coming up. pete: coming up in about 14 minutes. maria, you always deliver. thank you so much. maria: thank you. pete: the countdown kickoff is on. seven nfl games playing on fox today. fox nfl kickoff host joins us live. ♪ ♪ >> tech: every customer has their own safelite story. this couple loves camping adventures and their suv is always there with them. so when their windshield got a chip, they wanted it fixed fast. they drove to safelite autoglass
