will: the singing sergeants of the united states air force welcome you in with the star-spangled banner on "fox & friends" this is sunday morning. pete hegseth. rachel campos duffy. happy sunday to you. pete: that's for us? rachel: isn't that awesome. liberal new york still note the we're red, white and blue here. that is awesome. pete: maybe we commissioned it. most of new york doesn't know that is for us. that is a good thing. rachel: i was thinking, all right, it is awesome. pete: that's great. very cool. well- deserved. >> happy 25th anniversary to us. pete: we were all at diners for the 25th. the gratitude for what this

channel has had happened you're the only reason we're here. the appreciation for having that viewpoint. rachel: don't you wish you had a dime everybody said to you what would happen to america if we didn't have fox news? we would have no alternative information at all. think about that. the democracy essentially would die. you can't have a democracy like that. pete: dies in darkness. rachel: i heard that. i heard that somewhere. will: not on our talking point list. randomly to your point, rachel, i was looking at graphic of trust in news media over time. it's a fascinating story to tell on line graph. the democrats believe the media like 70%. trust in the media when it comes to republicans down to 11%. pete: 11%. rachel: that is us by the way. will: most truth of media among independents has gone down from 50% to 30%. trust in the media at large is

way down. we hope to earn your trust throughout the morning, throughout the years. we trust with that president biden spoke to a prerecorded message to democrats at virtual dnc meeting. we have to unify, come on, man. this is our moment. >> my message is simple. we need to stay together and bound by the values we hold as a party. here's the deal. we won 2020 as a unified party and we look to 2022, as we do that we need to stay unified. we just have to keep making our case. just as the republican party today offers nothing but fierce, lies, broken promises we have to keep cutting through the republican fog, that government is the problem and show that we, the people are always the solution. will: can i point out two things in the clip? first of all i find it basically par for the course in 2020, 2021, that those who cast

aspersions generally begin to be, generally are those who embody those aspersions. the most racist, yell racist at other people. those who accuse people of misinformation propagate misinformation. those who say others peddle fears, lies, broken promises are the ones handing out fears, lies, and broken promises. the other thing that democratic party didn't unify anything other than defeating trump that is the only thing that brought that them together. rachel: manchin, krysten sinema are holding out a little bit because they're in, essentially red states so they have to kind of do this theater for the democrats. in the end they probably all agree on this spending. i have to just point out, the spending is absolutely out of control. there is $23 trillion in debt. my husband was on fox yesterday and he broke it down in a way i thought was kind of interesting. i will share it with you.

every single, man, woman, child, is $80,000 of our debt. and in our family we have 11 people. will: carry the burden. rachel: 11 people, that is a million dollars. a million dollars. this is unsustainable. this is generational theft. by the way we'll tax the hell out of everything. our taxes are out of control. and on top of it this administration wastes our money, the amount of weapons that we left in afghanistan, we know that through ric grenell donald trump when we left iraq i want every last tent back home. that is how he treats our money, versus how they treat our money. five million dollars a day to not build our wall, in the middle of this crisis, they insult the american people with the spending that they do and the waste of our hard-earned money. pete: that's true and the scary part about the dynamic inside

the democratic party the most primary force is the fear after primary challenge. they will unify on a bill like this. they don't want to go home say they didn't deliver on so-called progressive priorities when they face a primary. joe biden anything dynamic on a prerecorded message on a virtual meeting that is everything you want. nothing could wrong with a prerecorded on virtual meeting. rachel: i was inspired. pete: i'm sure you were all were. let's provide a contrast, a not prerecorded, not virtual event that donald trump held yesterday in iowa. it was a huge turnout. and he spoke for quite sometime. here's a portion of what he said about the things joe biden has done in just his first nine months. >> after just nine months under biden violent criminals and bloodthirsty gangs are taking over our streets, illegal aliens and deadly drug cartels are

taking over our borders. inflation is taking over our economy. china is taking over our jobs. the taliban has taken over afghanistan. [booing] lunatic leftists are taking over our schools and radical socialists are taking over our country. disasters as the biden administration has been, no one can blame the great state of iowa, because boy, we did really, we did really good here. [cheering] pete: you miss him yet? rachel: i know, right. pete: a lot of people do consider the approval rating for joe biden is 38% on a number of topics into the 20s, whether crime, immigration, what happened in afghanistan. i don't mean to return to this, i was thinking about it during the clip. you mentioned the spending. we dismissed a $1.2 trillion bill only 10% is infrastructure.

a bill like that debated decades ago was unheard off. a trillion dollar bill? it is appetizer to a five trillion dollar bill. rachel: how long can it go on? how long can it go on? it is frightening. republicans were not excited when joe biden became president are very surprised how quickly everything devolved when you see that list of things that the president listed. pete: that's true. rachel: i will say from the speech, i did watch most of it, i did feel encouraged. there was another time when america was down. it was a different democrat president. it was carter. and we came back. so that is the hope, right? that we can come back from this mess. that we come back from the road to socialism we're on. will: we'll play a few more clips from the speech throughout the morning. there were other innings i found president trump said particularly inspiring that speaks to who we are. big day for the hawkeye state, big day for iowa.

we'll get to that in a moment. rachel: is that sports? pete: big day for texas. depends which texas team. will: we'll get to all of that in a moment. i remember this quote i believe ronald reagan's campaign advisor back in the 1980s, when you speak, it is 80% how you look, 15% how you sound and only% what you say. that is what audiences seem to take in, with that note in hand morgan freeman could read the phone book, it would sound full of gravitas and credibility. moraling began freeman would say anything you are inclined to believe him. the famous academy award winner. the gravitas along with his vocal cord talking about national police week, promoteing a movie, he talked about the defund the police movement. watch. >> i'm not in the least bit for defunding the police. police work is aside from all

the negativity around it, it is very necessary for to us have them and most of them are guys that are doing, doing their job. they're going about their day-to-day jobs. rachel: yeah. i think there is a generational divide even among african-americans on this topic because you know, senator clyburn was like, whoa, remember when ao-c came out with defund and the police, this is a terrible message. people in the community know what they want, don't like this. the younger blm, the very activist generation that seems to think this is a good message. it is clearly a losing message politically but worse than that it is hurting people. kisseds are dying. more kids have died in chicago from gun violence than covid. this is a serious thing. pete: we'll see what kind of

backlash he gets. hopefully none. one of those guys who live on another plain. it is necessary for us to have them, you could say that sentence in elementary school, it would resonate. that is where we've gone in this country where we're looking to an actor to speak that kind of honesty. the film he is in, he plays an elderly black man killed by a police officer. that is part of the subject of the film he talked about. he recognizes bad things happen in the past. you want to have a country a civilization, you better have a thin blue line. some people understand that. rachel: cops are necessary. when did that become so controversy hal? that is so weird. what's happening? will: we turn to a part of morning i dread what i will be about to read to you. at least later in the headlines. start with serious news. starts with this, retired four-star army general raymond odierno died after a battle with cancer.

influential commander during the iraq war, leading the capture of saddam hussein and leading american forces in the country. he served as the army chief of staff under former president obama. he also appeared on "fox & friends" over the years. >> do you think it is right for people who are not physically fighting these wars to judge how long we should be there? >> it is important to have open debate on these issues. that is what makes our country so great in our mind we're able to have open debate. people should be able to give their own opinions of what is happening. will: survived by his wife and three children. he was 67 years old. pete: the real deal. will: too young. this, unruly passenger forces an american eagle flight to make an emergency landing in new york city. video shows passengers deplaning on the runway as first-responders surround the suspect. american airlines calling the incident a quote, potential security issue. the flight was bound for new york city from indianapolis. the suspect has been taken into

shootout 55-48. sooners over coming yep, three touchdowns, thanks to kennedy brooks, the oklahoma running back rushed for 216 yards as texas absolutly imploded a choke job, painful for some. those are your headlines. pete: i was telling you we went to a very early, very early dinner, texas was rolling. i thought it was over. will: like a party, 16 at a party. everybody has best time of their life, cops come rolling in. it is over like that. you were at the top of valley, then you're in the valley. we were smoking them. pete: up three touch. do you have anything to say? rachel: sounds awesome. i wish i could get into it. pete: something you could get new. it's a cool topic. we mentioned iowa hawkeyes and the win against penn state, there is tradition in iowa they

do during the game. whole stadium. will: including people on the field. pete: including people on the field and the stadium there is a childrens' hospital next to the stadium, before the game the tradition in iowa is the iowa wave. rachel: i love this. pete: they turn around and wave to the kids. will: stop the game. stop the game. everyone looks up. players on the field and looks up at the children's hospital. pete: that's cool. watch. ♪. rachel: oh, my george. ♪. >> thank you, fans. >> what a special moment, what a special moment in iowa. rachel: that makes you love america. i'm telling you what. if you ever had a child in the hospital, i have, having you know, heart surgery, pretty

serious stuff. it is scary. it is scary for the child. scary for the parents. what a beautiful gesture this is. you know, this makes me like football. will: it makes you like america, make you like humans to be honest. all those people, from all different walks of life. will: different races, different teams they're rooting for. different politics all throughout the stadium. you're right, rachel. i have had a child in the hospital. every single thing every moment you find a reason to be uplifted it is not a little thing is uplifting. pete: is this heaven? no, it is iowa. this is iowa. great people there are you a some tradition. here are a couple tweets recognizing what happens. one of the most beautiful moments in sports. rachel: from jack. devoted penn state fan. the iowa fan base is just as phenomenal as happy valley.

taking time each day to make the kids special. halfs off to hawkeye nation. will: fan base rewarded as iowa has a clear path to the big 10 championship. pete: have to go through the golden gophers in the final game. will: forgot about minnesota. pete: doesn't count. you were accurate. 18 minutes after the hour. a lot of show left. call it "the art of the deal," gallery showing hunter biden's artwork, reaping rewards of a biden presidency. we're following the money after the break. rachel: new york city students and parents give the mayor a failing grade. one of the kids who benefited from the program joins us after the break. ♪. n. that's why i love liberty mutual. they customize my car insurance,

received 350-k in federal loans after president biden became president. it was 150 first. then biden comes in, it goes up to 580. what is really weird about this, this is little gallery. pete, there are only two employees. they got $580,000. will: pete: break this down. this is two-employee art gallery in manhattan. initially got $150,000 in loans. when president trump was there. then in july, as the rumors and rumblings of hunter's upcoming exhibit were there, they get, their approval gets revised up an additional $350,000 approved. now they have $500,000 in disaster assistance loans. they also got 80 grand in the paycheck protection program. as you point out $580,000 to an art gallery with two employees? rachel: right.

pete: emblematic of the amount of grift i'm sure is in these programs. on top of it wasn't hunter biden not know who is buying his art? there he is is at his gallery. rachel: with the guy. pete: everybody buying his art. the whole thing feels like a sham. will: the owner of that gallery is george berej. rachel: he is in soho. will: "new york post" he said i received my ppp loan in april of 2020 when donald trump was president along with countless other galleries which considering the global pandemic happening we had every right to. most galleries received the loan. we were not unique. the "new york post" says in the article it is true other galleries might have received loans from their investigation what they gathered so far, none received this level to this amount. pete: very few received we'll revise your loan in the summer of this year when joe biden is president. we'll increase it by $350,000.

rachel: because the pandemic isn't waning. as the pandemic we need to give you more money. you know, this also brings up the doj. here you have the doj investigating parent who just are trying to look out for what their kids are learning in school and this seems to keep going and going and going. you have to believe at this point that this whole hunter sideshow is passive aggressive. there is something going on in this family because it just doesn't make any sense why hunter keeps going and also why are governments not investigating this? this is really outrageous stuff. this is the stuff you see in third world countries. pete: i look the more you think about the numbers, the more it sinks in the more infuriated you really do get. half a million dollars for two employees. clearly political connections. hunter biden doesn't have the art displayed where they are

because of the his -- will: absolutely worthy over determining whether or not there is corruption at play. if another president were involved, if another political party were involved you can bet your last dollar there would be an investigation. this is the potential perhaps, even likelihood for corruption. it has to be. it has to be looked into. it has to be investigated. rachel: i just want to tell you one last thing on the paintings. i do not know if we put the paintings back up. they're not terrible. congress has a high school art contest every year and every single high school that applies it goes on to the state level and then one from each state gets displayed along this tunnel leading all the congressman walk to on the way to the house floor. there is amazing paintings up there. hunter biden is not even close to as good as many of the high school paintings that win this congressional art contest yet his paintings are going for half a million dollars or more.

there is a problem. pete: i will get you for christmas? a print, a hunter biden print. rachel: a hunter biden print. i will hang it in the bathroom. will: i didn't know you made that kind of money around here. rachel: i know. pete: not the original. rachel: that will happen. they will be on amazon. pete: get one for 30 bucks. will: lay down for a hunter biden painting. negotiations need to take place. pete: up next a senior australian officer quitting over the country's strict lockdowns. >> the vast majority, certainly a great majority don't believe in and don't want to enforce. pete: the fear its citizens continue to live under coming up. will: plus all aboard. meet the father taking kids to school in style as districts struggle with a shortage of bus drivers. ♪.

australia to the united states in 2016. glad to have you with us this morning. we spent time wondering how this cohappen in australia. as i have come to understand it, different conversations, it is different mentality, isolated, insulated, a different relationship with its government. what i find fascinating here, nick, the relationship officers themselves have with the populace. this particular officer saying this is getting bad, we are losing our way. what is your reaction? >> will, a stunning, sensational development very much in line with the historic and unprecedented scenes we've been witnessing down in australia for some time. pretty amazing, a young lady a 16 year veteran of the police force who is saying, look, i don't like what i'm seeing, i don't like what i'm being asked to do. i find it extreme. i find it illogical and i'm no longer comfortable being a police officer. this has done irreparable harm

between the relationship of the community and the police, to australia's reputation worldwide, will. you know, i have always gone around the united states the last 10 years and people have said to me, nick, why on earth would you have left australia, australia is a great place? nick, i understand completely you left. so it is, it is very worrying what has been happening down there, quite frankly, will, the policies, the actions the victorrian government would make a soviet planner blush. they're that extreme. will: i think you're absolutely right. look at a few of those 251 total days locked down in melbourne, australia. if anyone has been on social media, see some of the videos, nothing sort of authoritarian as officers crack down hard on anyone who violates their five kilometer zone which they're allowed to leave their zone or go to a protest. you know what i find fascinating, nick.

i would love for you to speak on this. i'm sure, not just many, most of these officers as individuals are good people but when you get into a position where you're the enforcement mechanism of these kinds of policies i'm sure you lose some of your humanity. that is probably, australian, american, german, doesn't matter your national background, i think what the officer who resigned said. she even said if i'm not in uniform i'm nervous around other officers. >> look, i think it is pretty inescapable for an officer to feel like that when they're given directions people they work for, by the government, by the premier in victoria, dan andrews, despot dan they call him. fittingly. what we've seen. very extreme. people are fed up, australia, victoria in particular, passed a milestone. now the longest lockdown in history. they just passed -- now 251 day

as you point out, will, that is enough to make anyone crack, even our bravest that are protecting us like the police. will: i think the real note is that australia might be unique in that it happens there first but it is not unique that it could be, it does not stop in australia. this is a warning for everyone across the world when you embrace these policies based out of fear. nick thank you for your perspective, letting us know what is happening in australia. >> always a pleasure, will. will: take care. cutting class? new york city's mayor holding back some of the best and brightest canceling gifted and tallented programs. our next guest said these programs changed her life. her message to bill de blasio is next. ♪. a chip in your windshield... trust safelite. this couple was headed to the farmers market... when they got a chip.

new york city parents outraged after mayor bill de blasio announced the city will phase out its gifted and talented classes in public schools. after the program was accused by the mayor of being unfair, and you guessed it, racist. the "new york post" blasting the move saying stolen dreams. if all kids can't excel none will. ty abrams is a alumni of the gifted and talented program. thanks very much for being on the program. that is inevitable what happens when you're pushing for equity, the idea, it is not just about pulling people up from the bottom, it is about making sure that those on the top are treated like everybody else. you had a chance to be in this program and it benefited greatly. what do you make of what the mayor is doing here? >> the reality is, four years old is a little too early to determine whether or not a child is gifted or not, so i agree that process did allow for a lot of students to be left out of the pipeline. however i'm a personal

beneficiary of the programing. a lot of our friends went to elite colleges we all came out of gnt, we should expand gnt to every district, so sip code doesn't determine a child's opportunity. pete: good point. if you can't afford private school to get an opportunity in the public system. here is what mayor de blasio said about the program. judging 4-year-olds on a single test is over. every child deserves to reach their potential and this new equitable model gives them that chance. i agree tough to judge whether they are gifted, talented at age of four, whether you move that to eight, nine or 10. but still getting rid of a pipeline for people to really excel to have amazing opportunities in this world like you have? >> right. so here's the reality. he does say that there is going to be a reinstituted program but the problem is he wasn't clear about what that program is.

there was claims there would be community engagement process to inform how these decision were made. that never happened. that led to a lot of distrust from parents and a lot of education leaders. so we really need some transparency on what program will be reinstituted once we have our new mayor. most importantly we need a process for accelerated learners to get the educational opportunities they absolutely deserve. pete: was the gifted and talented program racist? that is the accusation of bill de blasio? >> reality a lot of students didn't know about it. so when you have a gap in information being equitily spread across the board as well as preparation opportunities it can lend itself to being racist because certain communities do have access to more resources than others. that is what we see in the high school administration process as well. i fundamentally believe it comes down to a information gap issue as well as a preparedness gap. once we close the two barriers,

a lot of black and brown students will have access to the educational opportunities. a better approach would look at state exam scores which is already standardized across the board. you see students with double fours with math and gla, those students should be pulled for gnt programing. pete: information and preparedness is the gap as opposed to a system being racist inevitably because it benefits so many people. thank you very much for your insight. >> thank you. pete: a few additional headlines and will is going to take those. will: thank you. begin with fox news alert. multiple heem are hospitalized following a shooting in a st. paul, minnesota bar. video showed security wrestled with the man before first-responders arrived to treat the wounded. witnesses say the shots were fired at close range inside of the crowded bar. police have not said any suspects are in custody. 3-year-old toddler is safe after a frantic three-day search in the texas will derers in.

passengers pre-launch interview tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. eastern time. those are your headlines. rachel: that is interesting. will: 90. pete: give him a pass because of the 90 thing. for saying he is terrified. play it on tv. everyone thinks of you and space, that is what actors do. now you're going, terrified but you're 90. everybody loves him. rachel: we used to be so impressed when george bush senior would jump out of a plane. will: i'm not 90, i'm not, i don't presume to speak for anyone that is 90 but it has to be a bit of an adventure to go to the bathroom much less space. he is going to space. rachel: or go to the bathroom in space. will: going to space. pete: if you're 90 email us, friends@foxnews.com. or have your grandson email us at friends @foxnews.com.

you're emailing now. will: he is not 90. rick reichmuth is 89. he has the fox weather forecast. rachel: do you want to go to space? >> rick: if what? rachel: do you want to go to space? rick: yes. i definitely want to go to space. i did a story with richard branson, eight, 10 years ago. it is so cool. i would love to do it before i'm 90. is my biggest request. pete: you're a space cadet to us. you're halfway there. rick: i thought you were saying i'm the oldest person on the show. both of these are true. guys, take a look at the temps right here. a big day ahead of us. temps across across the west are very cold. winter storm brewing, not potentially, will be the big snowstorm of the year. especially parts of the central rockies, areas of wyoming,

some ohio students are rolling up to school in style because of it. columbus, ohio dad, tom rogers said his kids missed four days from school because bus didn't show up. he borrow ad limo from his dad and started driving his kids himself. he started giving other kids rides because their buses were not showing up to the houses either. will: by friday, he had given, was giving 37 students a ride to school in style of course. rachel: got to believe for a lot of these kids this is the first time they have ever been in a limo. so it is pretty exciting. pete: mine was high school prom. rachel: getting early start on that. it is really interesting, we gave by the way $113 billion of covid money to our public schools. would you think that the bus would be a priority for that money. where does that money go, pete? pete: great question. there is a lot left over still,

by the way, that hasn't been allocated but we need to spend more what they tell us. at first glance you want to laugh. good for the dad. first it was 25 kids on monday. then tuesday 42 from the neighborhood. by friday you talked about it 37. it is depressing if you think about it. yeah, fun to go to school in a limo. ultimately this is something schools should be able to deliver to kids. kids are missing school because there aren't any buses. rachel: the dad said that, a little girl missed a week of school because the bus didn't come. she broke down in tears, she was so excited to go back to school. so i mean he is providing a great service, but the question what are schools doing with this money? the covid money would be something like this, raise prices to get truck drivers, raise salaries to get -- will: failing boat. can't find truck drivers. can't find bus drivers. it is depressing. maybe i'm an optimist.

this is the future. people stepping up in the wake of bureaucratic failure. rachel: that is true. will: future of everything, not just school buss. >> the new normal. all right. will: more "fox & friends" coming up. including tom homan, dan ricott, leo terrell, charissa thompson, leo terrell. rachel: they're all here. oh, yeah. that's the spot. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ are you one of the millions of americans who experience occasional bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort? taking align can help. align contains a quality probiotic to naturally help soothe digestive upsets 24/7. try align, the pros in digestive health.

of the fabric of conservativism and patriotism in this country would be lost. rachel: democracy. we have to have both sides. will: we move to this? you know what is fascinating. we may talk about this throughout the morning. we have conversations often. we draw our distinction. draw our paradigm between left, right, socialism, capitalism. i don't know that it applies what we're going through in 2020, 2021. there is a larger thing going on regarding authoritarianism, control. the truth it is global. taking place not just in the united states of america. it is taking place in australia. it is taking place in europe. we have covid restrictions, vaccine passports, mehlman mehlman dates in italy over covid restrictions there is something going on where there is top-down attempt to control people. you can shift almost 180 degrees

across the grown. the other side of this earth, as australia police dispersing crowds ahead of what is freedom day on monday in that country. rachel: you had a great interview earlier this morning with nick adams. that is a interesting point, many of us didn't realize how authoritarian australia is. australia has been the worst, frankly of all the western governments. i guess, i didn't see that coming and it has been very interesting to see, not just, that people are fighting back. this is encouraging but what is more fascinating to me, how of people have complied here. how of people have submitted. and you know we started with two weeks to bend the curve. and here we are, still fighting so many of that's restrictions on our liberties that we were born with here in the united states. pete: for sure. you mentioned nick adams in that interview. what he emphasized, i heard

other australians talk about, our views of americans in australia is a lot different from the reality what it is now. it is not this rough-and-tumble backcountry freedom loving place. it is a much more socialist, authoritarian environment. here is a portion of what nick adams talked about in the interview they're facing down under. >> pretty amazing, a young lady a 16 year veteran of the police force who is saying, look, i don't like what i'm seeing. i don't like what i'm being asked to do. i find it extreme. i find it illogical and i'm no longer comfortable being a police officer. this has done irreparable harm between the relationship of the community and the police, to australia's reputation worldwide, policies, the actions of a victorrian government would make a soviet planner blush. they're that extreme. pete: first reference was to a veteran police officer officer who said morally i can't enforce

this anymore. effectively she is done. rachel: she is afraid of the cops when she is not in uniform. pete: will i have to ask you this, you talked a lot about this, what is it about happening in europe, australia, especially europe because australia is so draconian, is it that their measures are more deeper and wide-ranging that is why this reaction is happening? or why are people there standing up against it when in america we haven't really seen much of that? will: that is such a great question. no, i do not think, outside of australia, new zealand who have gone honestly insane trying to accomplish a zero covid environment, you know what i mean by that? no cases of covid? in europe i haven't gathered their restrictions are anymore restrictive than say the state of california. pete: or new york city. rachel: that is what i would say. i was in spain in february. special ability to go over because i had a family

emergency. coming from wisconsin, this is just horrible. but it is not just that the you know, guards at the airport and the flight attendants are telling you to put your mask on. it is the population has accepted it. i think because socialism, especially in spain has been there for a while, that is sort of accepting government rules. it felt different to me than coming from wisconsin, especially in wisconsin where we were kind of not following those kinds of rules. pete: maybe that is what it is, entire countries are under the type of measures that new york city and california are under. can you imagine -- will: more regionalized here? pete: florida, iowa, texas, north carolina were being treated like the island of manhattan in vaccine passports you might see reaction. >> i think you're right about that. will: this is worth pointing out. this is important note. the united states is the most restrictive, most authoritarian when comes to children. we have outpaced europe.

europe has done away, scandinavian countries done away vaccine for people under age of 30. europe has not embraced masking mandates for children in school. europe came back to school before under the circumstances. important to know we are more punishing on the young ones in our country than even europe. i will give you a great example. rachel: will, long before we were, long before, 94 million of them were in school. will: even in wuhan. great example why we have really, while we might not be yet australia or new zealand we have jumped the shark, given into fear because of things like this. this is our high priest of covid fear. here is the nih's dr. anthony fauci saying this, you're going to start seeing deaths go down, acknowledging the obvious, covid is seasonal. they will go down similar to hospitalizations, how quickly they go down, how thoroughly go down will be influenced by things like colder weather, people doing things indoor even though you're vaccinated. listen to this, when you're not

home but outside and you're in congregate settings in public wearing masks would be very prudent. wear masks outside. rachel: outside. so insane. remember he doesn't wear masks. remember he famously went to that baseball game, national as game, wasn't wearing a mask. sitting really chose to somebody, talking really intimately. again these, why is this happening? because they really believe this you know, would gavin newsom have gone to the restaurant, would nancy pelosi have gone to that salon to get her haircut, would he walk around without a mask, would barack obama have had a you know, massive party maskless? pete: only thing keeping us sane right now in this country is federalism, states having the per loggism. if authoritarians had their way they would do to the entire country on airlines. every time in airlines, you hear the bing, due to federal regulations you have to wear

your mask in between drinks. that would be entire country if they had their way. will: make a great point about federalism. the whole idea of america, have the laboratories of democracy we could have things. that is not pete hegseth, rachel campus duffy or will cain which policies work. the indictment, people pack up u-hauls people move from one place to another. it is happening in america. people are voting with their feet with federalism which way they want to live. this is happening right now. rachel: the science proves that out. the most lockdowned states, their rates are not any better in terms of covid deaths and hospitalizations than the most free states. you will see spikes and ups and downs but the bottom line is, covid is here. millions of people have had it. have natural immunity. millions of others have vaccines. we're going to live with this and learn to be free.

pete: right. will: to your point, you will hear no other news channel, i'm confident, florida's numbers have absolutely plummeted. florida's numbers and hospitalizations absolutely plummeted. you won't hear that on the news channel, desantis narrative, hellhole of florida, people hospitalized and dying. i believe numbers are over 80%. rachel: i wish people would take a happiness poll. look at people in new york, people in florida, who is happier? i've been down to florida. people look a lot happier. will: feel it. rachel: another person who looks pretty happy and optimistic for america is donald trump. he was at a rally last night. he had a lot to say about our great country. take a listen. >> you will not be bossed by incompetent, dishonest, disgusting politicians, by big tech tyrants, by left-wing bullies or anybody else because

we are a great, proud and sovereign people. we know what to do. we are a great, proud, and sovereign nation. we are born free. we will live free. and we will win again like we've never ever won before. [cheers and applause] will: that right there, that describes who america is right there. we are sovereign, we are born free. we will remain free. tie that back to what you were saying pete, about federalism, the nature of the heart of europe or australia, that has to be what saves us. pete: part of the reason we have more state by state approach that is the approach that donald trump took initially. rachel: he did. pete: put a lot of prerogative in the hands of governors to make decisions. imagine someone else being there at the beginning saying we'll have federal solutions across the board. you would have a very different response. rachel: so ironic, at same time he was allowing every state to

respond in the way they wanted, kristi noem was highly criticized. desantis was highly criticized taking a different stance than the state of new york, people were calling him authoritarian. that was crazy. you the people, in your states decide how you want to handle. this there were a few, like he said a few things came from the federal government but i do not believe if donald trump was president right now we would not have this airline mandate that is so annoying, so unsign tisk, so ridiculous, that they think covid knows when i'm snacking, not snacking, drinking or not drinking a coke in terms of my mouth. pete: so right. born free, sovereign nation. these are the big things totally under assault right now. back to basics moment. will: to your point, october 10th, more people have died in covid of 2021 than year of 2020. more people died this year after the supposed savior, vaccine,

harsh mandates, lockdowns, more people died this year than died last year. turn now to a few additional headlines a fox news alert a manhunt underway for the suspect accused of a georgia officer working his first shift. he was shot outside the alamo police station. harrison was a drug task force agent. he leaves behind a wife and six-month-old child. in louisiana a man suspected of killing two people including a state trooper has been arrested. he faces murder and home invasion charges in a day-long crime spree. police say trooper adam gobert was ambushed, fatally shot in his patrol car. 19 year veteran of louisiana state police. taking down a tribute, the family of gabby petito retrieving this plaque from a makeshift memorial in northport, florida, before it is removed. the city is replacing the site

♪. rachel: calls for the impeachment of alejandro mayorkas are growing this morning as dhs chief cancels border wall contracts in laredo and the rio grande valley. pete: sounds like a great idea as agents on the front lines encountered more than one million illegals so far this year. fox news contributor, retired acting i.c.e. director tom homan joins us now to react. good morning, tom. so one million so far this year, tom. we talk so much about the asian migrants. we should, there is another group amassing in tijuana, other places a stat that is fascinating tom, these haitian migrant camps are coming in on daily basis. they're not from haiti. the number of central americans and mexican illegal migrants it

is just astounding, tom. >> exactly and we have to remember over a million encounters, let's remember there are over 350,000 got wais, closer to 400 thou -- got-aways. 400,000 people crossed the border, not apprehended, are in the country illegally, we don't know how many have covid, gang members or don't know how many national security threats. border patrol arrested 11 people on the terrorist screening database. how many of that 400,000 are would-be terrorists entering the country without any encounter at all? rachel: tom, we know dhs canceled or terminated the border wall contracts. we should note for our viewers, america needs to know that before that we were paying them five million dollars a day. that to not build the wall. now we finally terminated contract. i want to read you statement from dhs. get your reaction on the other

side. u.s. customsu.s customs & borden intends to cancel remaining contracts located in the laredo border valley sector, instead fund smarter border security measures. what the heck is that and what kind of credibility does the dhs on these new smarter security measures. >> first the secretary has no credibility. he is an embarassment to the position he holds. if he had any integrity at all he would resign today. he is the secretary of homeland security. one thing he needs to understand, we don't have national security, we don't have homeland security unless you have border security. i just discussed how vulnerable the southern border is. now if he took five minutes to look at the data, data clearly shows every place they built a border barrier, every place, illegal immigration went down, illegal drug flow went down. that is security. the wall is something the border patrol has been asking for

decades. this is isn't president trump's wall. this is america's wall. this is a tool the border patrol needs. in spite of the crisis we're seeing, highest number of illegal encounters we've seen in two decades the secretary's decision, take another tool away from the border patrol to make your job harder so there is even more got-aways. look at crisis in del rio, rio grande valley now, where the tens of thousands of people coming across? where there isn't a wall t doesn't take a border expert to understand walls work, walls save lives. this secretary should be ashamed of himself. reporter: well-said. if you have it there you're not getting illegality. i want to ask you another story that is wall-to-wall. emblematic of the media environment. migrants under a bridge in del rio. they don't know what to do with them. they eventually get rid of them. because that was a big bad story for the administration, they made their focus about supposed

ultimately proven to be fake news story about whipping border patrol haitian migrants on horseback. you heard from the president, to the vice president, to the dhs secretary, this universal condemnation this will be investigated quickly. we will get to the bottom of it. well despite vowing this probe, tom, speedy conclusion, they haven't wrapped it up yet. this investigation is not over. why not? >> pete, you said it better than i could say it. you're exactly right. this is about changing the narrative. attacking men and women that put their lives on the line for this country every day. shameful for the second, president, vice president. the investigation is over. i have my own sources in the cpb. right now the white house, department is trying to spin the narrative, spin the truth because i've seen the video. i know the rules. i know the regulations. i know the policies. they did nothing wrong. all you have to do is look at the video. they were enforcing the law, despite illegal immigrant committing a crime, entering the

united states and trying to stop that. despite the fact they ignored federal officer's order which is felony, these officers did their job. the investigation is over. if it was a fair investigation these officers done nothing wrong. right now the white house and department is trying to spin, how will we spin this to the american people, we call them racist. we said they're whipping people. we said they would pay. we can't be embarrassed. the whole spin machine is operating. i will be really surprised about this investigation comes out saying these guys are clear. rachel: these poor guys, just unbelievable. where do they go to get their reputation back? they have got the force of the administration spin machine and pr machine on really probably interfering with the truth. will: waiting for the volume to be turned all the way down like it was with nick sandmann or any other fake story. waiting for attention to go elsewhere. this will be quietly moved on. pete: wow. >> absolutely. absolutely. rachel: meanwhile these guys are

afghanistan. this as the taliban says it will not work with our country to try to contain isis in the region. here to react, retired u.s. army staff sergeant david bellavia. also a recipient of the medal of honor. david, thanks for being here, everything you have done, everything you continue to do. when you look at our delegation trying to meet with the taliban, all of our troops are gone, they say they won't help with isis, we're not allowed to get involved and deter isis, what do you make of where we stand right now? >> first of all look, here is something that we, this is the way the united states has negotiated with every president since really barack obama and now joe biden. we reserve the right, if you're going to threaten our citizens, our allies, we reserve the right to kill you at any point in time during negotiations. that is how it works. this is american power. haqqani network of the taliban, these are "the sopranos" of the middle east.

they're not political idealogues, or i should say religious idealogues. they use religion to get what they want which is power, money, gold, drugs, guns. the haqqani network are not our friends, they will never be our friends and now they're depending on pakistan and china to deliver them into the 21st century. i don't understand what the state department is thinking, what our intelligence is thinking and why these folks are going to be our friends tomorrow, today, into the future? how about they show us exactly the seriousness in which the taliban wants to be taken going into the future? how many american citizens are still being held by the taliban? pete: that's right. >> now we'll exchange what, professors were vasser university, gender studies? you will tell us will you treat women and girls with respect? how about show the american citizens and allies still in

afghanistan respect? this is ridiculous. pete: you're right. we don't have any leverage because we never made those threats in the first place. certainly didn't follow through on that. instead we were totally beholden to the taliban. we have hostages behind the lines. they have all the leverage. i got to get your take real quick, david. general odierno just passed a giant of our generation. i will play a clip of general raymond odierno on "fox & friends" in 2017 to get your reaction. >> do you think it is right for people not physically fighting these wars to judge how long we should be there? >> it is important to have open debate on these issues. that what makes this country so great in my mind that we have open debate and people should give their own opinions what's happening. pete: david, warriors like you and others have a lot of frustrations with the new woke general class. raymond odierno, a general, no-nonsense guy what i recall.

i was part of the surge. part of the initial invasion in iraq. your reaction to his passing? >> this was a general who led from the front, who cared so much from not only about the soldiers that were in harm's way but you know the families that were supporting those soldiers. general odierno's son sacrificed, bled for this country. he believed in the mission which he sent americans out and the other thing that general odierno had he believed america could win any batwe sent our sons and daughters to fight. how many generals we see today that aren't believers not only in the mission, they don't believe in mission success. you do not deserve to lead american blood overseas unless you believe every time you go on patrol that you can win the war and odierno was a winner. he believed in what this country represented, more importantly he believed that we could win the war every time we walked out on

patrol. he was a beautiful, beautiful leader and beautiful man. pete: you're right. petraeus gets a lot of credit for the surge underneath that what odierno executed every single day to be successful. david bellavia, thank you for your time. we remember raymond odierno gone too soon. more "fox & friends" on the other side. limu, you're an animal! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ you have the best pizza in town and the worst wait times. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire shingles? oh... you mean bill. matche's been a real pain.ion. again with the bill... what? it looks like a face. ...hearing about it 24/7 is painful enough...

♪ >> back to "fox & friends." moms have been tested again and again to the pandemic. adjusting new work retunes and jug long child care. 1/3 of working moms are consideringdown shifting their careers or leaving their jobs entirely. it leaves us wondering what does the future of work life balance look like for future moms. our next guest are two working moms. she is a nurse and mother of three. kate singleton is rental housing site manager with three kids as well. glad you're here. talking so of what is going on about the economy. so many people are dropping out of the workforce. sometimes getting attributed to the benefits people are getting. we've been talking on the show, yeah that is true, some people are getting paid not to work. other people are dropping out of the workforce because life is complicated with the pandemic and virtual learning. we brought you both in to kind of talk about that.

let's start with you, charissa. tell me about the challenges you face and decisions you made to work from home? >> so, thank you, rachel. this has been a challenging time for most of us. and i, my heart goes out to all the parents out there that have had a constant juggling act. i had to play mom, school teacher and employee and i'm vice president of a clinical program within my company. i develop, implement, oversee programs. at the same time i had kids that were you know, in school and remote, balance getting up earlier in the morning. some of the challenges helping them throughout the day and doing some of their specials, it was no easy task. working later when they went to bed at night to get caught up. so it has been very hard to balance but what makes the working mom theory strong. rachel: yeah, absolutely. tell me about your journey through this pandemic.

>> sure, as chris has said, a complete juggling act this past year. kindergartner and third-grader, fourth-grader at home doing virtual learning. kindergartner at home is a full-time job, and learning, and having a full-time job on the side. i was able to work at home. working 30, 40 hours a week, weren't down, three hours, five hours, midnight to 3:00 a.m. to get important work done. it was nearly impossible. rachel: caitlyn, is everyone in school now, of your kids? >> now they are, thankfully. we're keeping our fingers crossed that it remains that way graduate from high school. rachel: one of the things that is interesting, there has been a few silver linings for parents through the pandemic. one of them is seeing what kids are learning. parents have not been happy about that.

the others parent are realizing that they don't want to do the commute. they actually, talk about, you're up late at night, some people are finding that they're saving time, not having that commute. they still want to do their work, be still involved at home. i will go with you, charissa, what do you think about that? are women rethinking the whole work schedule and are companies respondinging to the flexibility that moms want to do both things? >> i love the einstein quote, adversity is the mother of invention. i think we've learned as parents, working moms, that the love and commitment we have with our children, first and foremost i get up every day i pray, i pray for our families, i pray for my children. i have a firm belief with faith over fear that gets me grounded every day. i really think as we move forward as a country, we've seen a lot of parents flex to all of the changes. they have done a tremendous jobs. our employers have flexed. i think moving forward it might

not be the typical in person 9:00 to 5:00 day. i have a third-grader, and fifth-grader. my third-grader has special needs. it is such a struggle. to all fairness to the employers they have been trying to help us flex hours. give remote options. i used to travel a week a month to different markets. i'm hope and remote. we're doing videoconferencing and meetings at the same time like everybody has pointed out. we don't know what we don't know for the future. our kids could go remote again. the challenge as country. we're america. that is the biggest thing. we're tough. i stan tough with my kids. moving forward as country is so important. i think there will be lot of innovation for employers to have a work life balance if if they want to keep good employees. i congratulate employers trying to create options. rachel: you bring up such a great point. caitlyn, employers are finding when they are flexible for moms, when they work around some of

the things, maybe more zoom calls, less airport traveling that moms are grateful and they are loyal and they are become better employees given that? >> yeah. i agree. i mean i'm so gratefu that my employer is completely family friendly and will make those accomodations for zoom calls or in working from home. i know my kids weren't here, i wouldn't have gotten so much work done working remotely. i do agree with the fact that yeah, working remotely is a good thing. all the technology we have today makes that really simple and easy. you know, it is just another layer when you have three little ones at home also learning, needing to watch over them. you know, if they hadn't been here full time i can't imagine how much work i would have been able to get done at home versus the office. rachel: yeah. i still think a lot of families have rethought the idea of family over the pandemic.

really reprioritized it. good to hear employers are working with moms that want to put their families first and still be productive and make money for their loved ones. thank you so much for joining us, both of you. given us a lot of insight and a lot to think about. >> thank you, rachel. rachel: turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast, rick? rick: rachel, so much going on in the weather world. we have a big winter storm, severe weather will be like may. we have a little bit after tropical system that will not cause any major problems but rain along the coast. look at the temperatures, really warm across the central plains ahead of a series of storms that will bring the severe weather. the southeast i will tell you will be looking absolutely spectacular this week. enjoy it, you deserve it. the mid-atlantic, you see the swirl off the coast, will bring rain across the northeast. coastal areas will see scattered showers.

[laughter] that happens too. pete: sean's going to be here on the couch in a moment. who's going to watch the kids when they -- rachel: they're on their own. in the green room. will: this is an important story to talk about. that's coming up later on "fox & friends". but we start with this this morning, seattle facing the possible termination the status of almost 40% of their police force. why? vaccine mandates. 292 officers have yet to provide proof of vaccination, 111 are awaiting results of exemption requests. this is in the a time, of course, when in most major cities across the united states you're look at crime spikes including a murder rate spike that is at historic proportions across country. we are going to say good-bye to

officers over their health care choices. rachel: if you know anyone who lives in seattle as i do, i have a brother who lives there, they will tell you, they live in an upscale neighborhood that has a homeless encampment now right near it. people in seattle have been facing higher crime rates, i mean really ever since -- especially spiking during the blm riots. and this is a terrible time to lose police officers. seattle's mayor, jenny durkan, e-mailed city employees, and and she said we value each of you and do not want to lose you as employees, but the people that count on you the most are the ones that need you to get vaccinated, clearly putting vaccination ahead of public safety. pete: it's a joke and has been this entire time. you mentioned homelessness and drugs, that's true, you've also got the clashes with antifa between seattle and portland, blm riots which were -- it's not the fault of the seattle police

department, it's the fault of the political leadership there, of course. you've got a thousand officers, give or take the, in the seattle police department. 40% of them, 403, may be out of a job on october 18th because if there is no exception to the policy. it's not like the nypd here which has mandatory vaccines, but you can get testing if you decide not to, at least for now. we're hearing de blasio may change that as well. you have 40% of your force walk off the job or be fired in the next eight days, you can't replace that. and recruiting is in the you know what right now. that means the quality of life in that city goes down even more all so jenny durkan can say, oh, our police force, 100% vaccinated. not allowing adults to choose for themselves. and again, just like nurses, they were the heros of the pandemic for 18 months, and now they're zeros because they won't get the jab because jenny says

they have to get it. rachel: and as you said, so many of them were on the front lines, so many of the people who were, you know, first responders, nurses, the ones who were working while so many of us were locked in our homes or on some sort of restricted schedules work wise, so many of them had codid, got co-- covid, got covid. so they don't want to take it. you brought up another great point. think of how low morale is for a police officer in seattle already, and now you ask for this exemption, and your mayor basically says you're not that important. being able to tout we're all vaccinated is more important than you, your job or the safety of this community, and frankly, i don't feel so sorry for them, will, the people of seattle. you know, elections matter. it's like you get what you vote for, you know? sometimes i look at the business owners here, and my heartbreaks for me, but i'm also like you vote for de blasio or didn't prop up another candidate to run against him.

will: you know, what's the impact on the people of seattle, whether or not they voted for him or not, here's what one anonymous police officer had to say is, losing even 50-75 officers in one day, the response times will go up drastically. i will continue working until the day that they fire me, and that's about all i can do. pete: so you're young, you're fit, you've probably had covid before because you've been out there, maybe you truly have a sincerely held religious belief, i'm sure most of those religious exemptions will be denied, unfortunately, by the city. so let's say half of those are approved and half get the jab, you still have 200 police officers in eight days that aren't on the force? and that quote right there from anonymous officer saying even 50-75 is a mass youive hit? rachel: and in florida governor ron desantis just gave all his police officers a bow if us in. so you're going -- a bonus.

why the hell am i in seat? i could go to sunny florida where i'm appreciated, where i get a bonus. i think a lot of these cities are going to have a hard time holding on to officers not just with these mandates, but as the morale, as the disrespect for law enforcement starting at the top. pete: talking to a couple of police officers that guard outside our building, and they're wonderful -- i won't reveal what day so no one can figure out who that that may be, they're worried this mandate is coming to new york city. you think it's big numbers in seattle? try new york city. will: yesterday they were telling me oklahoma is going to be texas. [laughter] a lot of things. rachel: yesterday a woman was mugged in times square, knocked to the ground, knocked to the ground, brain damage, she said. she's a nurse, by the way, cancer nurse. so this is just a block away from here. pete: great. all right. well, of the many mounting problems that we talk about on this couch from policing to

inflation, we've been telling you about inflation. reportedly forcing the average family to, get this, spend another $175 per month on things like food and fuel and housing. the average cost of beef, chicken and especially bacon all taking a hit on your wallet, and i just read rachel's -- rachel: that's okay. will: i'll read mine. gas prices surging more than a dollar per gallon since last year, so what do the rising prices mean for us as we head into the holiday? rachel: that's right. here with some ideas is credible.com analyst dan ricotto. the administration tried to tell us that this is seasonal, this is, you know, this isn't really happening. we know that this is happening. we feel it when we go buy milk, when we go gas up. what can americans do to deal with these rising costs especially as we and the holidays -- enter the holidays? >> yeah.

hi, rachel, will and pete. it seems a little more sticky than it might be, as some of us predicted, by the way. consumers are being pelted every day whether it's filling your gas tank or trying to buy a refrigerator, something like that, it all is pinching us in the wallet. even little things that we can do between now and the end of the year to get through the holiday season. for example, i always tell folks, negotiate, right? whether it's those little things or larger things, your cable tv bill. if you've got good credit, call your credit card company and ask for a lower interest rate. you might be able to negotiate some of those items that you and i pay those monthly bills, see if we can get 'em down a few buckings. now is the time concern bucks. if you're shopping online, add a bunch of items so you make sure you qualify for free shipping, you know? that's a small little item we can do if we just put some

thought into the way we shop. defer larger purchases. do you really need that tricked-out outdoor kitchen right now? guys that's the kind of thing that i counsel consumers all the time. just be smart. in this environment we have to plan a little bit more than we normally would. will: yeah, dan, that's presuming it does come back to normal next spring, to your point. but the problem with inflation is it seems to spiral. once it gets going, it's very hard to control. and i was telling pete yesterday it feels like inflation is knocking hard on the door. i mean, look, demand outpaces supply, we're flooding the economy with money, this leads to rising prices. it feels like we're just getting started. tell us about stagflation. we saw that in the '70s in the carter administration. is that what we should expect, stagflation? >> i'm glad you said that, will. what you're talking about is this sort of vicious cycle, and

we need to break out of it and get back to a virtuous circle. this stagflation that we had in the '70s -- i have to say i'm old enough to remember, unfortunately -- i don't think we're there yet because stagflation, as you might remember, was high inflation, high unemployment. we have something that's very interesting and in some ways bothers me more. we have high inflation, we don't have high unemployment. in fact, we have the opposite, employers simply can't find enough employees, and that's boosting wages. what worries me more, will, is we've got so many people dropping out of the work force. three million folks have clean out their cubicles for a variety of reasons, some of which has been very generous government benefits, afraid to go back to the work force for health and safety reasons, the story you just reported on in seattle. so that kind of worries me more than the stagflation that we had in the '70s, this idea that we have high inflation, and we have folks that are simply dropping out of the work force. america works when americans

work. remember that. pete: dan, in order to address inflation, which we have talked about this, it feels like it's only about to get worse, we're on the precipice, what could be done? what policies could be pursued? >> yeah, there's two things we could do. we've got to drain the punch bowl, the federal reserve. they said we're going to start doing that as early as next month with respect to the low interest rates, this cheap money that's flooding the system, throwing money out of helicopters. the second thing is that we need to do is fix the supply chain issues. as long as we have barbie dolls floating off the coast of long beach, california, instead on of the shelfs, we're not going to fix the problem. we've got to really start drawing could be this notion of free money. rachel: yeah. we need those barbie dolls. [laughter] all right, dan, thanks so much. pete: thank you, dan. >> thanks, rachel. see you, guys. rachel: all right. turning now to your headlines, a

nurse dies after being knocked down by a homeless man in times square. she was walking with a friend when authorities say she was pushed by jermaine foster who had just stolen a cell phone. the victim hit her head on the pavement and died of head trauma. foster has since been arrested and is facing robbery and assault charges. we talked about this, that poor woman was a cancer nurse. a texas high school shooting suspect remains free while his alleged victim is fighting for his life. a fight reportedly broke out just moments before 18-year-old timothy simpkins open fire. a teacher was also hit but is expected to survive. simpkins claims he brought a gun to school for self-defense because he is getting bullied. he was seen on social media partying with family after posting a $75,000 bond. he faces three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly

pete: yeah. general petraeus was the architect of the surge, odierno was the executer, and he won high praise from those who served underneath him for being a general who led from the front and got things done. rachel: i love what he said. you've got to be able to debate things. will: up next, keeping tabs on jabs. new jersey teachers are pushing back after being told to track conversations about the vaccine with students and parents. our next guest calls it a blatant effort to manipulate families, and she's going to explain. rachel: plus, it's downs syndrome awareness month, and we're going to be speaking to great companies founded by or inspiredded by those with downs syndrome. ♪ -- always better with you. ♪ ♪ iate that liberty mutual knows everyone's unique. that's why they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need.

justification for using you, using teachers in either, i don't know, yeah, i do know, a political effort here? was it, as it was explained to you, to participate in some kind of data mining? i'm sure that's not the case. was it to encourage people to get the vaccine? what were you told about why you were doing this? >> well, the training obviously was not presented to be political, it was very much with you as a teacher, you have a relationship with students and parents, therefore, you should help them and encourage them to get information. and they literally spoke about different techniques on how to engage in that conversation. and wheel you watched this -- while you watched this training, your stomach is training because you want to use my rapport with parents and students to coerce them into doing what the government is telling us to do. it feels like they want us to become indoctrination camps instead is of educational, you

know, curriculum providing, you know? we want to provide curriculum, we want to provide that love and care for our students, and instead they want us to push an agenda, and that's what it felt like. will: i'm sure that's what it was, jennifer. appreciate you giving us that background and, of course, your perspective. we appreciate you being on this morning. >> thank you. will: we received a statement from one of the unions involved, the nea. their spokesperson told fox news national education association members want nothing more than the return to safely in-person learning, and science is clear that vaccination is one of the best ways to keep students and educators safe and in the classroom. educators are leading conversations to encourage people to learn more about getting vaccinated in an effort to keep students, their families and our communities safe and healthy. all right. up next, just call it the art of the deal. a gallery selling hunter biden's

hunter biden. new york post cover today says sketchy, hunter biden's art deal received 300 -- dealer, received $350,000 in federal loans after his dad became president. they started out with $150,000 in ppp loans for an attar dealership that had employees, and after biden was elected, another 350 came their way. >> because the pandemic is way worse this summer than last summer, right? so they need twice as much money. here's what's interesting in that reporting, they looked at all the other art galleries in the area, and no one got close to as much money as this art galley. so did the bidens intervene? did they make your case to small business to get this extra money? this art gallery wouldn't answer the question. and was some of the money going to be used for the promotion of hunter biden's art? they wouldn't answer that question either. and as a former guy who spent almost ten years in the

congress, this is why we believe that big government is bad. you can't control the spending. you don't know where it goes, and what you find when you have trillions of dollars, it ends up going to people's friends, colleagues and associates as opposed to the average american who thinks they're going to get their cut of the cash. this year democrats want to spend an additional $8 trillion. you break that down to every man, woman and child, that's about $25,000 per person. does anyone think they're getting $25,000? you have five kids, seven of you, 200 grand? not a chance. i'm not getting -- we're pushing almost $300,000 in our family. that's going to the friends of politics and the -- politicians and the power powerful, and that's why conservatives believe inless spending -- in less spending. rachel: and you think about the doj, they're investigating parents for being domestic terrorists for going to school board meetings and having complaints about stuff that's going on there, and then, you

know, they're not investigating this? this is like ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, red flag, there's problems over here, and what's the doj doing? >> the doj and all in biden world know what's happening. there's no investigation needed. they get the joke, they're in on the joke. rachel: right. >> so we wonder shouldn't justice be blind? shouldn't we apply the law equally to everybody whether you're democrat, republican, a clinton, biden or a trump? that's not the deal here. rachel: right. >> you see when societies become corrupt, justice isn't blind. they go after the, their political enemies but never apply the law to their friends. again -- pete: and they just know they won't be held to account. we were told how many times from the white house podium by jen psaki, there's no way the buyers will know hunter biden, they won't know each other, it's going to be totally -- and there they are, there he is at the gallery meeting all the people -- rachel: with the buyers. >> rachel brought up an interesting point, we do have a

congressional art competition where kids across the country submit their art, and the winners hang their art in the capitol. it goes from the rayburn building into the capitol. it's great! compared to hunter biden? hunter biden's is garbage, and these kids get nothing. he's getting $500,000 for this garbage art. rachel: so, sean, you're talking about corruption, failed government, we had this week on our kitchen table podcast from the kitchen table, we thought it would be interesting to bring in two people from venezuela who lived through the crisis and go, you know, what happened there and what are the parallels, more importantly, to what you're seeing here. i'm going to play this clip, this is daniel dimartino on chavez's rise to power. >> in the lathe '90s -- late '90s, inflation was high, the it was about 20%. there was high unemployment. that a made the message of chavez which was already sitting well of blaming the rich for the problems of the poor, saying

that it is, you know, foreign corporations that are taking all our money, and it's the government that takes everything over, everything's going to be better. and that's why that message resonated. and that's why it's so important that we keep the united states a prosperous country as much as we can, right? with free markets. rachel: that message sounds like aoc and bernie sanders. >> 100%. that's our kitchen table podcast, but both of our guests this weekend talked about the politics of envy is. if you can get people to be envious of people who have a little more than you, those are the seeds of socialism. that's what you see the lift trying to foment here. they also mentioned if you can use law enforcement to go after political enemies, that's also another key component of getting socialism in to support the -- rachel: we're not seeing anything like that here, are we? no, that's not happening. will: i'll will really interested in that conversation

because, you're right, the politics -- i think the recognition also when you're plague in a rigged game and a rigged system, and the united states has to figure out how to negotiate that. i do think there are many things in this country that are rigged for the for the heat. that can't be rigged -- >> nothing's fair in life, but i think the fairest system is the capitalist system as opposed to -- will: not corporatist. >> 100%. same page. all right, duffy, check out that -- sean duffy, check out that podcast. coming up, a staffing crisis is unfolding everywhere as emergency services and 911 response times are hit. our next guest fears this is a matter of life or death.

because there isn't the work force to do it, that's a real emergency for a lot of people when they need the help the most. how did we get to this place? >> absolutely. this has been a problem has thas been developing over federal years because of chronic underfunding shortfalls for ambulance services, but certainly during the pandemic things have hit a crisis level. we've seen a tremendous amount of work force attrition and schools have shut down parameldic training institutions concern paramedic training institutions have shop stopped graduating students for the last year, so we're suddenly in a severe shortfall. we do have some is solutions to put forward to congress on the table, so we're hoping they can take some action. pete: yeah. ems, it's high stakes, high pressure as any profession, which is why it has a 20-30% annual turnover rate for ems workers. but when it comes to this moment right now, what's contributing the? are there covid mandates

involved? is there other options that are more lucrative? is there unemployment? what's the acute reason right now? >> i think we're seeing the collision of all the elements you listed and more. this is a very high stress job, and some people don't realize what they're getting into. but more importantly, others -- as a few people leave the work force and incredible workloads that we're having right now due to covid as well as wildfires, natural disasters, all kinds of other event ises, a number of paramedics and others are just saying they've reached the end of their limit because they're working a lot of overtime when other people have left the field, and they're leaving as well, taking other opportunities. half of the people who leave don't leave to go to another employer, they leave the field byerly. so we have to -- entirely. so we have to reverse that friend. we have to basically stop the bleed of our own employee, and we have three solutions out on the table. the first one is we think we

need to recognize those that are sticking with the field. pete: sure. >> those that have borne the brunt of this last year deserve some payment as was done in florida recently, and we're asking for an american hero one-time payment and having congress take some action to get funding to the states to be able to recognize the men and women who have done such a great job for us. the second thing we think is really important is we need training and work force development programs up and running. america generates veterans who have received corpsman and medic training in the military that don't immediately translate into a civilian credential. there are some bridge programs out there. i mean, let's face it, these folks take care of people who have had terrible injuries on the battlefield. we need them when they come home to be able to get -- pete: we're almost out of time. what's the third one real quick? >> the third one is that we need congress to have -- cut the red

tape so we can all get in front of them and tell them what the barriers are to our success. and get some action. pete: sean baird, thank you for what you do in your industry. we appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: all right. up next, we're celebrating downs syndrome awareness month by introducing you to three great companies that are giving back. they join us live on fox square. ♪ ♪ one of my favorite supplements is qunol turmeric. turmeric helps with healthy joints and inflammation support. unlike regular turmeric supplements qunol's superior absorption helps me get the full benefits of turmeric. the brand i trust is qunol.

october is, of course, downs syndrome awareness month. we had three businesses including rachel's daughter value isen teen that -- rachel: she doesn't have a business, but she was there to celebrate. will: she will one day. rachel: that's exactly what i want for her. i see that, and my heart -- i'm going to try not to cry here, but my heart gets really big because i think about what the possibilities are for her. and you just don't know when you first find out you've got a diagnosis like that, and you see john and colette, and is you go, oh, my gosh, this is an amazing adventure. finish 15 employees, i mean, she's a boss. pete: john's socks, heavy got 34 employees, the largest online sock store in the world. and hearing his laugh when i held these up concern. [laughter] rachel: awesome. he wears them every saturday and he busts out laughing, i mean,

the joy that he has. and they hire others with differing abilities too, and they give back. it's super, super cool. rachel: and their parents, by the way, those are great parents that are doing god's work to make sure their children really reach their full potential. thank you, fox, for -- this is why i love this channel. thank you, fox news, for doing segments like that. will: well, we did just celebrate 25 years of fox news, that's why we came in with frank sinatra and a shot of the empire state building which is lit up in red, white and blue to celebrate -- pete: don't tell the rest of nen hat tan -- rachel:tail turn off the lights. [laughter] something that's not a secret is that joe biden's having trouble unifying his party, and that's because there are a couple defectors on some important bills that they have moving forward to promote their

socialist agenda, if you ask me, but definitely a lot of spending. some say $5 trillion with the gimmicks, maybe $8 trillion of new spending. but joe biden says that the party was unifieded in electing him, and they need to remain unified in order to get their agenda through. take a listen. >> you know, my message is simple, we need to stay together. we're bound by the values that we hold as a party. because here's the deal, we won in 2020 as a unified party, and we look to 2022 as we do that, we need to stay unified. we just have to keep making our case that the republican party offers nothing but fear, lies and broken promises. we have to keep cutting through the republican fog that government is the problem is and show that we, the people, are always the solution. pete: i'm not sure what he really means there, we've got to show that government is not the probable and that we the people are the solution?

well, the government isn't we the people. the government gets in the way of we the people and our ability to exercise our rights that are enshrined to us through the declaration. nothing like an inspiring pre-recorded virtual speech to unify his party. my fear, and i mean this earnestly, it's been soaking in over the last coupleover weeks, my fear that the socialists have enough power that their party will unifile and will -- unify and will pass a bill. and whatever number they the tell us is the official number is not the number, to your point. these programs end up never expiring, they go on in perpetuity, government grows and gets bigger, and we know that government -- will: i think your pessimism is well earned about this entire debate amidst the democratic party will play out. i think you're right to be pessimistic, but i will say i think this platform, this ideology is generally unpopular. i think he's having trouble

unifying the party because he's only unified them around one single idea, and that was to be anti-trump. without president trump there for them, they have nothing else really to unify them. and my suspicion is they're going to pay a price in 2022. president trump also took to the stage last night not in a pre-recorded message, in a live message in des moines, iowa, where he talked about the first nine months of joe biden's presidency. watch. >> after just nine months under biden, violent criminals and blood thirsty gangs are taking over our streets, illegal aliens and deadly drug cartels are take thing over our borders, inflation is taking over our economy, china's taking over our jobs, the taliban has taken over afghanistan. lunatic leftists are taking over our schools and radical socialists are taking over our country. you will not be bossed by

incompetent, dishonest, disgusting politicians, by big tech tyrant, by left-wing bullies or anybody else. we are a great proud and sovereign nation. we are born free, we will live free, and we will win again like weave never ever won before. [cheers and applause] rachel: what an optimistic message that is and a reminder to so many people who are just so depressed to see what's happened in the last nine months. i think a lot of people thought it would go bad, i don't think people thought it would go bad this quickly and badly, but it has. it is a reminder because i think back about the '70s, we had another time when people were -- there was a lot of depression and malaise about where was america going, it was losing its greatness, and then guy came in named ronald reagan and revived the ideas that a made us great. and i think in a lot of ways

that's the optimism that we need because we're in the face of, i mean, inflation and the border and, you know, our schools as he mentioned, you know, are being taken over by socialists, and now our government is turning on our own people as the opposition party. there's a lot of stuff going on. president trump has a lot of great lines, will. one of the best ones he's had recently is everything woke goes to -- and that's how i feel about what's happen. and it's really nice to hear some hope that maybe, you know, four years is a long time. mine, i guess in two years if there's a change in the congress -- pete: yeah. there was an article yesterday say showing there's legitimate democrat fear alongside a message like that, the level of popularity which has not waned despite what they've tried to do with russia hoaxes and impeachments and january 6th wall to wall on other networks. it hasn't waned. there's fear of 2022, and there's fear of his popularity what he can do in 20 this, no

doubt about it -- 2024. and you see what he can still do to motivate people, the script is not over. will: officials say 200 haitian migrants are rioting at the mexican board -- arriving at the mexican border city of tijuana every day. rachel: over 650 central american migrants were smuggled in shipping containers. pete: wow. bill melugin joins us live from texas with more. bull, good morning. -- bill, good morning. >> reporter: currently tens of thousands of migrants really from all around the world who are in mexico as we speak right now trying to move north here to the united states, and many of them willing to do pretty much whatever it takes to make that happen. take a look at this video, you guys just mentioned it, this is out of mexico on thursday. knot eastern mexico -- northeastern mexico where the authorities made a huge bust of central the american migrants. 650 of them were being smuggled in shipping containers on trucks heading right here for the u.s.

boarer. there were 198 unaccompanied children mixed in with that group, that's kids making that journey completely alone. they found this thing because authorities heard talking coming from inside of those trailers. they x-rayed it and found the people inside. ultimately, four human smugglers were arrested for that incident. you can see they were spraying the migrants down with some unknown substance, not sure what that was about. but there's also thousands waiting in mexican cities trying to get north as well, and they've got an activist who has some fighting words. take a listen to this. [speaking spanish] >> reporter: so you hear him say there they're ready for war. what he mean by that remains to be seen is, but take a look at this video. this is out of tijuana where the

mexican government is reporting 200 haitians are showing up in tijuana every single day and about 6,000 per month so far. now, some of the haitians down there told media outlets they're planning to stay in mexico, they're just looking for work permings. but you take a look at -- permits. you take a look at del rio last month, we know a lot of haitians are trying to get here to the united states and will do whatever it takes to make that happen. as all of this was going on, there was a u.s. delegation who went to mexico on friday, our secretary of state, dhs secretary the, etc. noticeably absent from those meetings with the mexican government was vp kamala harris, our border czar. she went to new jersey instead where she went to a daycare and played bingo with school children. she hasn't been to the border since june when she went to el paso, and yesterday former dhs secretary chad wolf didn't mince words with what he thinks about that. take a listen. >> it's quite unbelievable that

you have the border czar who is in charge of, she says not border security, but she's talking about the root causes of migration. that's what this team was doing in mexico, talking about some of those root causes, meeting with the9 president of mexico. so certainly at the vice president's level to be down there, to be engaged on these discussions, and she's completely absent. >> reporter: and back out here live, we take a life look at our fox news drone here in la joya, texas, what your looking at is the incomplete trump border wall. this is the wall that was going up during the trump administraton, one of the biggest hot spots along the entire border in terms of the sheer volume of people who come across. they really need this wall here to help plug up the security, but dhs announced on friday in a friday evening news dump that they're canceling all remaining border wall contracts here in the rio grande valley. so what you're looking at right here is all they're going to get here, just about a half mile of wall. nothing else is going to go up

because the biden administration doesn't think it's effective, and they want congress to find, quote, smarter border security solutions. send it back to you. will: hey, bill, great job. you've done a great job down there for weeks now. listening to your report, you've got that activist, as you described him, talking about we're ready for war. granted, it's one man, one guy, but you've also been reporting and sharing images of cartel gunfire across the border. i'm just curious, over the weeks that you've been there, bill, have you seen a change in the sort of impossible task of feeling out the climate of this thing? it seems to be if i take those things together more and more -- i don't know if tense is the right word or chaotic, but it's becoming confrontational. >> reporter: yeah. and what we're really starting to see is a lot more of that criminal element and a lot more runners starting to come across. the last couple of months over the summer, june, july, august, really what we were seeing were

family units pouring across the border. now we're embedding with national guard, it's almost all runners, people who do not want to be caught. you kind of have to watch your step to make sure you're not stepping on people because there's so many people hiding in the grass out here. and you're right, you mentioned that cartel gunfire. we were in roma the other night, the cartels are are making a killing off this, we already know this. the human smugglers are benefiting the most, but there have been a lot of gunfights, and we were embedded with the national guard and, yeah, we saw machine gun tracers flying across the border into the united states. those rounds were going above a national guard observation post, and we were with a bunch of sold isiers who were shocked. you can hear them going holy [bleep] because that's not something they see very often a, tracer rounds going into the united states, not just going back and forth to mexico. rachel: all right. thank you, bill. pete: the only thing a runner doesn't want to run into is a wall, and that's the one we're not building anymore.

rachel: right. can i just say, pete, to come off of what you just said, i mean, we're -- the irony. we're debating an infrastructure bill that's going cost, you know, trillions of dollars, and we're shutting down the most important infrastructure job in this country right now which is securing our southern border particularly as we've alreadied had our national security and intelligence people say, hey, look out for increased terrorism because of the mess that biden made in afghanistan. so this is a crucial moment and just crazy that we were paying $5 million a day to not build it, and now we've canceled the contract. pete: yeah. feels like a crucial moment for us as we examine it, but this administration clearly doesn't care. that's the hard thing. all right. now we have to get to this, of course. it was a wild weekend in college football, and texas a&m stunned the number one ranked alabama. >> aggie upset win, and it's

♪ ♪ rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends." the latest biden jobs report disappoints yet again, but tell that to joe biden who insists it's actually progress. >> today's report has unemployment rate down to 4.8%, a significant improvement from when i took office and a sign that our recovery's moving forward even in the face of a covid pandemic. that improvement was widespread. rachel: sunday morning futures anchor maria bartiromo is here to react. maria, welcome. how does he get away with just trying to sell as, you know, progress? this is good news, inflation, whether it's afghanistan, he tried to tell us that was also good. maria: rachel, how does he get away with all of the lies, one after the other? whether it's the 18 states that have come up with new voting laws being jim crow laws, another lie, or, you know,

vaccine and mandates and not, you know, acknowledging the immunity one gets from actually having the infection, pushing these mandates on everybody or, you know, the afghanistan debacle and, you know, nobody told him to keep bagram air base open before taking all the troops out and leaving, you know, individuals on the ground behind enemy lines. it's hard to keep up with all of the mistruths. let's talk facts. this economy is much worse today than when joe biden walked into the white house. and this month in september it was a glaringly obvious because we had the slowest job growth of the year. you're talking about an expectation of half a million jobs added to the economy in the last year. in fact, we saw 194,000 jobs added to the economy. why? because there is so much money sloshing around in this economy, and they're actually negotiating now another $5 trillion of money going to be coming at people

with massive federal welfare state programs, free community college and, you know, money for elder care, money for child care, programs that will likely never go away, and they're throwing in these gimmicks as if it's going to be $2 trillion when, in fact, everybody knows it's going to be $5 trillion. so, look, the economy is watching and investors are watching, and what we see happening is people are not going back to work. i think one of the key issues in this employment report for the month of september is the9 participation rate. and the participation rate is really not complex. it's 61.7% of the, of workers, of people in the country are participating. that means either they have a job or they're actively looking for a job. that's come down sharply in the last couple of months, certainly sharply from a year ago. you're talking about just from february 2020 it was at 63 plus percent, so you're in the 61% range. what does that mean? that means people are are

unwilling to go back to work. we've got 11 million unfilled jobs right now. there are jobs to be had, but people do not want to go to wok because they're saying why should i? i'm getting checks from the government, and i'm living the life that i want to. i don't need to go back into that, you know, restaurant that i was working, that service place that i was working because i'm going to get free money. and this upcoming negotiation for this reconciliation package, if they get through anything, it will fundamentally change this economy because you're talking about major, massive federal welfare programs that will be in place for years to come. that is going to fundamentally change the this economy and change the way people approach work. we'll see if joe manchin and kyrsten sinema stick to their guns and do not allow it, but they are working actively, the democrats, to get something through. and the progressives are very clear, without a reconciliation massive spending plan, there will be no money for roads and bridges. the infrastructure plan is dead

unless the reconciliation plan goes through. rachel: yeah. maria: this morning we'll get the very latest on a all of these negotiations when i speak with leadership from the senate, and that is senator john barrasso. he's going to walk us through the negotiations from the senate side. and then we'll talk about the house side. you know that nancy pelosi called everybody back this upcoming week. they were not expected to be back, but they are to vote on raising the country's borrowing limit to $29 trillion. so we'll get the house side of things with representative kevin mccarthy, obviously, the leader of the gop. he's coming up with ways to fight back on this radical agenda. john ratcliffe is here, former director of national intelligence. why? because remember that story that general mark milley told us that he had to call his chinese counterpart to tell him that trump was not going to invade china because they were worried and he had to, quote, deescalate. a lot of people say that was treason, so we want to get to the bottom of it. what did the actual intelligence

say? john ratcliffe knows. he was the director of national intelligence. was there really intelligence that says that there was any reason to believe that trump was going to invade china? we're going to get the facts today. john ratcliffe has something to say about that. and let me not even go into this overreach of, you know, calling american citizens domestic terrorists with this overreach of the doj. candace owens is here. she wants to talk about all of these new rules for soccer moms and why all of the sudden moms are the enemy to the doj because they're not going along with this crt, critical race theory -- rachel: i didn't think i was a domestic terrorist. martha: yeah. better stop making those peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
