♪ ♪ come on over down to the corner along with my brothers ♪ pete: georgia has come to fox square. the georgia tech yellowjackets? will: bravo. pete: and chip wade, of course, because it is national ailgating day. they -- tailgating day. all straight from georgia from his deck, from his beautiful home. he decided to spend labor day weekend with the three of us here on "fox & friends" weekend. thank you for being here for the

fourth hour of "fox & friends." and we -- this is fox, and we really are friends, and we're glad you're here with us. [laughter] will: thanks for spending your labor day with us. rachel: so grateful. by the way, the barbecue came from new jersey, and it was delicious. will: something tells me that's not a new jersey accent. [laughter] rachel: no. but he did make it in new jersey. path president -- pete: he said i can take this real stuff and bring it up to the yankees up in the northeast, and they'll love it. it's really good. [laughter] rachel: oh, i love it. he's a great barbecuer, also a great baker. those are some of the best chocolate chip cookies i've ever had in my life. pete: national tailgating day. we are psyched that it's almost football season -- well, it is football season for college, and this week is the "fox & friends" fantasy football draft. if you weren't tuning in earlier on the show, will cain is the, if not the commissioner, the shadow commissioner of the

newly-minted "fox & friends" fantasy football season, league -- will: league. the long and short of it is this: i may be the shadow commissioner, he's the assistant to the shadow -- [laughter] long and short of it, we said we should do some fantasy football. we invited everyone -- rachel: "fox & friends" first -- will: ad denial dam, rick -- adam -- 100% of the people said i'll do it. even rachel. pete: she's learning about wide receivers and tight ends. there's the entire league right there plus two producer teams, 14 teams. our draft is week. team names have credit to be submitted. -- yet to be submitted. they may need approval, we'll see where we go. but eventually, we're going to give you some rankings, trash talk. so alongside you at home, we will have our own fantasy

football league, and we'll see how many people stick with it. rachel: i don't know a lot about football, but i do like a tight end, so -- [laughter] pete: unbelievably -- the. will: two hours ago she didn't even know that was a position -- [laughter] rachel: i didn't. pete: now she loves the tighten end. rachel: i learned that today. pete: that was really, really well done. will: keeping up with those scores throughout the season. how about though, a negative turn when it comes to sports. how about america's children? 9-year-olds when it comes to test scores in this country, the stats versus 2020 and 2022, math down 7 points, reading down 9. test scores going down for america's children. rachel: it's interesting, because our test scores weren't very good to begin with. ril. will: right. rachel: i looked at 2017, we were in the middle of the pack.

truly embarrassing for being a first world country. we were behind vietnam, estonia. everyone was already beating us, and now we're in a worse with position. meanwhile, china was -- can their kids -- pete: internationally, we've been in the middle of the pack for a long time. government schools have been failing our kids for decades. this dramatic drop can be -- you can point to covid and the lockdowns and the zoom classrooms and especially for the most vulnerable kids who don't have the access to the internet or families that can stay at home or people that can tutor them, no doubt. but to your point, scores have been sliding for a decade year-over-year on math and reading as well. we're pumping billions into a failing government school system, and it's the not -- it may be delivering indockty nation, it's not delivering arithmetic or basic reading skills. now, when it comes to blame for this, karine jean-pierre, press secretary, here's who on thursday when this national report card came out, here's who she blamed for failing schools.

>> so let's ten back to where we were -- step back to where we were not too long ago when this president walked into this administration how mismanaged the pandemic, the response to the pandemic was, how 47% of schools were, in less than six months we were in a place where, again, schools were not open. the economy was shut down. businesses were shut down. and what we have seen is, you know, we've seen the numbers, but i think that's what we see, that's how we saw -- it shows you how mismanaged the pandemic was and how the impact of that mismanagement had on kids' progress and and academic well-being. every republican congress voted against that money. that is the reality. we had to do this on our own. pete: she's really bad at her job, let's just say that. rachel: let's give her an f. pete: she's really bad at her job. on top of it is trying to blame

the trump administration which tried time and time again against institutional bureaucratic headwinds and labor unions as well that didn't want to open back up. rachel: absolutely. and president trump was saying, by the way with, open up the schools. and when he did, the media criticized him, the democrats even ran ads against him, you know, leading up to the election saying he's endangering or -- you get what i'm saying. those were the ads leading up to the campaign. and they said, you know, he's endangering lives, he's making people, you know, making kids accessible to dying. here's a flashback of some of the headlines. i mean, look at that. how can they now say that don can trump shut the schools down when, clearly, they were criticize ising him for saying keep them open. pete: yeah, we've got the tape. here is donald trump clamoring, pushing, fighting to get schools open. >> we've got to go to school. we've got to open up, open up our schools and open up our businesses. i want to just say get open in the fall.

we want the schools open. children are at the lowest risk of any age group from the virus. indefinite school closures will inflict lasting harm to our nation's children. will: you know, pete, i don't think it's insignificant, i just want to return to your statement earlier that karine jean-pierre's really bad at her job. i don't love the individual attacks, not talking about the reluctant to go towards someone and not their ideas, but it's the truth. pete: sure. will: it's obvious. she's incredibly bad at her job. jen psaki had a lot of things she did, but she was always confident in her messaging being spun out to you. and i was thinking about consistency. there is a consistency between karine jean-pierre, so much condescension, you know what i mean? on any of the questions that are asked, that's the dumbest thing in the world, and our position has been incredibly clear and so condescending in a way that, look, i don't think it's

partisan to say that's how caylee mci neighborny, dana perino, you can be combative -- pete: we did have 11 days of the mooch, remember? [laughter] rachel: those were some wild days. will: i don't have anything substantive to meet head on. rachel: i agree. but i think what's really important is what they were willing to do. first of all, we can show you the headlines and the video. it's unequivocal that they are the ones, that the democrats wanted to shut down the schools. they were working with teachers unions, public officials to make that happen. they were masking our kids, making life miserable for everybody. that was their agenda. we know that for a fact. the question is, parents and i just think a lot of independent, fair-minded people were looking at saying we know this is going to screw up our kids academically, psychologically, physically because we saw childhood obesity also explode during the pandemic.

so on every level, it was going to hurt kids. they had to know that too. and what's interesting to me, because we all knew it wasn't that kids were not spreading it, is what democrat and teachers unions willing to do, what they're willing to sacrifice, how their willing to hurt our kids in order to advance their ideology. it's fascinating to me. pete: and to get more money, only 10% of which they've spent. they have $100 billion left in their covid slush fund to the to spend on all their other priorities. project veritas, if you've followed this, thousand they've got teachers and assistant principals on tape, under cover admitting they're targeting republicans, they're pushing democratic bias, they're blocking catholics, they're blocking older teachers who might have more conservative viewpoints and pushing a particular point of view in a quiet, silent way that your kids would never detect. they're not saying these are democrat talking points, they're just trying to find a way to do

it. that might be part of the reason why randy wine garter, who was a part of those shutdowns, the president of the american ped ration of teachers, was, i think, on a zoom call. this was public with the secretary of education. she made this claim, listen. >> teachers, you know, essentially are the first responders to all of this. and what they ask for is they ask for respect. very few teachers thought that they were going into with teaching to be social justice warriors. when you can't teach the diary of anne frank, you can't answer questions of children, you can'k police, that has been what has created some of the burnout. and that's not virtually -- that's not parents, that's politicians. parents just want the best interests -- want best for their kids and so do teachers.

pete: rachel, earlier in the program i tried to, i thought i tried to the explain what that meant, and i'm getting more confused the more i watch it. she's basically saying don't blame us for all the crazy things we've done and all the crazy things that our teachers did. it's the politicians who are forcing it on us, except they're the ones that are inviting ibrahim kendi -- will: talking about ron desantis saying we don't want teachers in the vector of the exploration of child gender identity. when she says can't answer children's questions -- rachel: right. it's about their so-called don't say gay. and that's why, pete -- pete: interesting. that's it. rachel: going back to what i've said before and, by the way, i've fallen is the sent bl to this -- susceptible to this, it must be the money. they were holding our kids hostage. it's not the money. the gender part of this, it's about the ideology. and again, what heir willing --

how they're willing to hurt children in order to advance the ideology, the radical gender ooh ideology is totally about not just confusing children, but breaking down all the mitt romneys about the family because the -- norms about the family because the family obviously interferes with the role of the state and what these teachers unions want to do and what the left wants to do in general in terms of ideology x. this is all about separating children from their parents, and they'll use whatever means he can. and, again, i just -- the why of it is so interesting to me. pete: so when they're talking about threats to them the crass and losing freedom, they're almost always talking about abortion. and in this particular case, when they're saying we can't answer -- i think you're right over the target -- will: it's the not a question of old decisions stepping in the way of -- politicians stepping in the way of education, she's upset about some politicians. she's invited some to dictate the mask policy. not only did she invite it, she helped frame it --

rachel: what was she talking about with anne frank? pete: they would say, no, no, no, no, you're banning books about jill is johnny now or about i have two mommies, so they would say, no, no, it's the conservatives who are blocking what are very radical books that shouldn't be in the classroom. it's coded language but, you're right, targeting one side of the spectrum. she's an extension of that teach or that assistant principal who they exposed saying we have an agenda, we just have to hide it. rachel: well, here's another dangerous situation, and that is happening at our border. eight migrants were found dead while 53 others were ap are rehended trying to -- apprehended trying to cross the rio grande. by the way, four of those children, two of hem were mexican children age 16, there was also a 13 and 14 is -year-old guatemalan kids who drowned in this attempt to cross the rio grande which is a very

dangerous proposition. meanwhile, two mexican nationals illegally in the united states have been accused or charged, i'm sorry, with murder of a north carolina sheriff's deputy. pete: alexandria hoff is live in washington this morning. >> reporter: yeah. this all showcases the deadly nature of this crisis, and it starts right at the divide. during a rescue mission thursday, 37 migrants were safely pulled from the rio grande, but doing so, authorities recovered the bodies of those 8 migrants who died including children, 5 a 3 people in -- 53 people in total apprehended. those two mexican nationals have been charged with the murder of north carolina sheriff's deputy ned byrd. immigration and customs enforcement confirmed that the suspects had entered the country illegally after being deported once before. under operation lone star, texas governor greg abbott says that 3,800 migrants have been

apprehended so far, 19,000 criminal arrests, 17,000 felony charges reported and 3 35 million legal doses of fentanyl confiscated. particularly alarming as just about 67% of all drug deaths within a year are due to that. a lethal dose fits just on the tip of a pencil, and authorities are warning of fentanyl even made to look like colorful candy so far seized in 18 states. a 17-year-old died after taking a lethal dose of fentanyl from a pill he thought was a percocet, he had ordered it off snapchat. here is his ma'am -- mom, laura. >> i would definitely not agree with the word accident at all. that's not the way, certainly, that i look at what happened to my son. i think it was a preventable situation. just important that parents understand this is out there are. our kids can access this so easily even if there are no red flags. you might lose a child to

fentanyl even if there is no addiction history. >> reporter: this week the man who son zack that pill was sentenced to 17 years in prison. will, rachel, pete. will: thank you, alexandria. pete: turning now to a few additional headlines starting with new video showing investigators towing a white suv from outside a missing mother of two and billionaire heiress' home. 34-year-old eliza fletcher was jogging near the university of memphis when she was abducted early friday. police say she was forced into a mid-sized, clashing-colored -- dark-colored suv. the family is offering a $50,000 reward. can and the biden white house tapping former obama adviser john podesta to oversee $370 billion -- [laughter] in clean energy spending after a passing a massive climate bill last month that they told us was

inflation reduction, but we know what it's about. a longtime democrat, podesta previously served as bill clinton's chief of staff and chaired hillary clinton's failed presidential run. the white house also announcing longtime climate adviser gina mccarthy is stepping down. she will be replaced by her deputy. rachel: that's totally going to be on the up and up. [laughter] pete: yep. the it's going to be amazing. earlier in the show we asked you what fast food restaurants you would want to offer all-day breakfast because mcdonald's thought about doing it again, but they're not. it was all not true on social media. here were your responses. david and lori want to see hardee's offer its homemade biscuits off breakfast. excellent suggestion. hardee's has a sleeper breakfast. christy would love to eat chick-fil-a breakfast all day long -- will: that's just the biscuit. you get those same nuggets -- pete: biscuits seem to be what people are looking for --

rachel: what about the bowl? it was comment. pete: and pam wants taco bell's crunch wrap. taco bell trying real hard on breakfast. they say breakfast, breakfast, breakfast all over the place. they're making a push. rachel: i'm not a big mcdonald's person, but i do like their breakfast burritos. pete: hash browns? rachel: i do like them. pete: you can't get them all day. will e will we're previewing college football, and now i think we're about to have abby hornacek with, is this a dance-off, abby? what have we got going on here? >> reporter: well, i have some breaking news. everyone's expecting that action on the field, but you are absolutely right, the real competition happens right here on "fox & friends" in a dance-off between the two team's mascots. pete from utep, boomer and sooner from university of oklahoma. each mascot gets 10 seconds to show their best. you guys, take it away.

that allows people to get into the home ownership market in those neighborhoods that, yes, traditionally -- even through red-lining from the '30 and '60s -- haven't gotten an opportunity to to get into the economic opportunity of housing. so i see this as a glass half full, but there is risks also all over with subprime lending that we saw got us into trouble in 2008 and 2009. but, you know, anything that keeps opening up opportunities in this land of the free, if bank of america wants to take the risk, let's see how it works. it is a test. rachel: yeah. it's an interesting thought. i've been through many poor white neighborhoods, i wish they'd made more of an economic argument about low income versus race. i just don't think we need more tuition in this country, but yo, but you make some great points about opportunity zones as well. also about the problem with encouraging people to take out loans, mortgages, and maybe they can't afford it with some of

these low-cost, no, you know, no money down, etc. that did get us into trouble last time. last word. >> yes. well, i think american families want to build wealth, and diverse communities not to segregate us, but when one segment rises, all those rise. and 47% of americans' net worth comes from home ownership. i am all for personalized ways that a we can offer pathways to progress. so let's see, it's a test. i am very curious to see what the monitoring of these things look like as this progressings. but in this case, i am touting for free enterprise, and if bank of america wanted to do it, let's see what happens. rachel: we'll wait and see. >> thank you, rachel. rachel: of course. take two. nasa is getting ready for liftoff again with the scheduled launch of artemis i today. the return to the moon coming up. plus, it's national tailgating day, we've been talking about it

for now, that clock is stillicking down with about 4 -- still ticking down with about 4 hours and 14 minutes to go. artemis is the strongest rocket ever made, set for a journey around the moon, going further than any other spacecraft. the focus is to do a stress test on it. they'll have 2 the hours to lift off starting at i 2:17 this afternoon. there's a 60% chance of good weather at the start of the launch window, and the conditions should get better towards the end, increasing to an 80% chance of favorable weather. nasa astronaut ann mcclain says weather has a say in whether we launch or not. >> something like a light lightning bolt or even a stray cessna flying through the area can stop the launch. particularly for artemis, we're not going to be flying through rain or thunder clouds, so we're watching the rain very closely. >> reporter: all right.

>> equality and democracy are under assault, but les no question -- there's no question the republican party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by donald trump and the maga republicans. and that is a threat to this country. i believe we're many a battle for the soul of this nation. pete: joe biden, flanked by two united states marines, shouted at maga republicans for 24 minutes in one of the most divisive campaign speeches -- and it was -- in recent memory. but what right does he have to preach about the soul of america? here to weigh in we have legal immigrant to the u.s. mike diaz

along with iowa farmer jim boyar as well as former police officer trey penny. gentlemen, all, thank you so much for being here. mike, let me start with you. there were over almost 20 mentions of republicans and maga republicans, yet not a single mention of immigration or our border, mike. >> well, that's what you do when you have nothing to tell the american people what you've accomplished. you've got to point the finger. and he did, and he did it well. if i was his, part of his handlers, that's exactly what i would have told the president to do. you've got nothing to talk about, let's go ahead and just point the fingers. but you know what? there was some stuff that he did talk about, there was -- i think that was, like, 25 minutes, and 20 of that he spent hammering republicans and conservatives, but learn some things that really were kind of troubling, you know? if some of those are, like, i'm going to quote him here. it's my duty, it's my duty to

level with you and tell you the truth no matter how difficult, no matter how painful. and so will wasn't even a mention of hunter biden, right in i mean, you think how painful would that be for somebody to tell american people what, you know, what kind of sins his son is doing as it relates to his dealings with some of these foreign countries, right? and so that just, you know, i couldn't believe he said that. the other thing he said that was really, i think, quite telling was, you know, he said that republicans do not respect the constitution, they do not believe in the rule of law, they do not recognize the will of the people, you know? and he said this is a nation that honors the constitution, we do not reject it. but that's the same president that also said these same constitutional rights are not absolute. pete: yeah. >> gosh, i can't believe it. and lastly, i'll finish with

this, i know we don't have that much time, but he also talked about how he wanted to make a nation of hope and unity and optimism, not a nation of fear, division and -- pete: yeah, we jumped the shark on that. >> 87,000 new irs agents, it's frightening -- pete: absolutely. trey, as was just mentioned by mike, he talked about safety and security in law enforcement, alluded to it, yet he's been on one side of that ledger too. >> absolutely. absolutely. look, i think president biden stole soul of america with that speech. it's truly unfortunate that he took that route. i mean, look, i've been a police officer for 22 the years in dallas, texas. i was a u.s. army veteran. and to see the optics in that speech and then actually hear everything that he said, i was offended. and let me tell you, i am a republican. i was one of the 74 million republicans that voted for president trump, and i believe in his maga agenda, make america

great with again. i want to see our police officers safer. i want to see our communities safer. i wanted to see the bridge created between the police and our minority communities across this country. but that's exactly the opposite of what president biden has done. in fact, he's promoted to defund the police agenda which has allowed individuals to attack our police officers across the country. so he is no advocate at all for law enforcement, and i think we as americans need to come together to say this is not the type of leadership that we want in this country. we want to be able to bring americans together on the idea that we can all be equal and treated equally and have safe communities to live in for our kids. so i want to make sure that we are saying the right thing when we talk about this. president biden is no friend to the american people, especially the people living in the inner cities dealing with violence and crime every day. pete: jim, tre mentioned the inner city. you're in iowa, a farmer.

was he uniting you? was he reaching out to you or indicting you? >> no, not at all. i mean, this was, it was an angry speech. i can likening it most to an angry old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn.

california right now that are deciding if they're going to cook dinner for their children or plug in their electric car. pete: you're right -- >> here in rural iowa -- pete: go ahead, finish up real quick. >> yeah. here in rural iowa we're still facing some of those problems we were facing 0 months ago. it's the energy -- 20 months of. it's the energy costs, the supply chain issues. and the administration -- pete: it's inflation, it's the border, none of which he mentioned at all. instead, he put a target on his political opponents' back. mike, tre, john -- jim, thank you for joining us. coming up tomorrow, senator ron johnson, maria bartiromo and joe concha, plus, a moms' night tradition going viral. and up next, we've got the best tailgating gear for your game day needs. don't go anywhere. ♪ i'm gonna win, yeah. ♪ i'm gonna win ♪
