♪ ♪ ♪ rachel: good morning, america. it's 8:00 eastern time, and we were just out on fox square enjoying the scene there. beer and food. good morning. will: good morning, yeah.

a little brat for breakfast. [laughter] rachel: nothing wrong with that. pete: barely made it to the top of this hour. germany not known for its good? really gooded food. will: it really is. we have got various sausages we brought back in. [laughter] rachel: we also had this potato salad that was amazing. so good. will: make it octoberfest wherever you are this morning. we're going to start with putin's war on ukraine. russia i blowing up several apartment buildings overnight, killing at least 17 people. pete: this happened after a ukrainian strike on the only bridge connecting crimea and russia. rachel: trey yingst joins us live from kharkiv. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. an explosion yesterday partially destroyed the only bridge between russia and crimea. this blast decimating the rail

anded road portions of the bridge, sending pieces of concrete plunging into the water below. now, the russians say a truck bomb is responsible for the incident, saying that three people died yesterday. the ukrainians haven't officially commented, but president volodymyr zelenskyy said the weather in crimea was cloudy but also warm. a disaster for the russians, remember, this is a bridge that vladimir putin himself commissioned back in 2018, and the ukrainians do not control any part of crimea. so this was an intelligence operation, an opportunity for the ukrainians to significantly damage the supply lines for the russians as they continue to try to take territory in the southern part of this country. as for a possible response, we do know that russian forces overnight fired rockets at the city of zap prison ya, killing at least 17 people and injuring dozens of others. here in kharkiv yesterday there were missiles fired into

positions not far from where we're standing right now, shaking the windows of our hotel, giving you a sense of just how close the battle is for these ukrainians. will, rachel, pete? will: quick question about that bridge. how important strategically -- clearly, it's a link between crimea and the mainland of ukraine -- how important is that strategically to the overall war effort for vladimir putin? >> reporter: this bridge is extremely strategic for the russians, and it plays ab an important role in supplying russian troops in the region as those forces try to take ukrainian territory. this is large arely seen as an embarrassment for the russian leader because this was a bridge that officials in moscow said was impossible to target. they have air defense around the bridge, there was a submarine that would monitor the area. and the fact that the ukrainians were able to launch. this operation and take out a portion of the bridge just shows the ability for ukraine to

operate outside of the territory they control and the ability for ukrainians and ukrainian president zelenskyy to send a message to the russians that that they will continue this war by all means necessary. an important note here is that the price of the bridge was $3.6 billion, so damaging this critical infrastructure is going to be a they havety -- hefty price tag for the russians as they look to repair it and, ultimately, try to move supplies and personnel across the river anded road lines. pete: how fluid are the front lines right now? we heard about the annexation elections that were held, how fluid are those boundaries? >> reporter: the front lines are are extremely fluid right now. over the past several days, we have been out on the front, and in a few areas where we were reporting, there was no clear front line. it was a no man's land because the russian troops had taken ukrainian territory up to a

point, and an around till rah -- artillery ballot ensued. they are moving despite a successful ukrainian counteroffensive that took back most of the territory where we are at right now. but the war does grind on in the eastern part of this country, and it's participant of the reason the ukrainians are asking for more weapons from the united states and their european partners. rachel: trey yingst live from ukraine, thank you. pete: especially considering the threat that benjamin hall, what happened to him -- rachel: yes. pete: it takes a lot of courage to go out into that no man's land. rachel: that's exactly what i was thinking when i saw trey. i was thinking about that. well, we're going to move to our own border here where our border czar was in texas, your home state, will, but didn't seem to want to talk about the border situation or even the root causes that she said she was going to get to the bottom of

when she first was given the assignment of being border czar. meanwhile, i think you did probably one of the most important stories that we have seen this morning, which is the flight of young migrant children unaccompanied by our government with our tax dollars over to new york. i think it's an outrageous story. you interviewed someone named steve newhouse who's an orange county executive here in new york, and here's what he had to say about it. >> this is a self-induced problem. so when the mayor of new york city welcomed these, you know, over 10,000 this year, now they're saying it's a state of emergency so they're getting pushed out to other areas like my area of the hudson valley. i get a phone call saying we've got a plane coming up to you with some kids. they're age 13-17, boys and girls, and we're concerned. are they being trafficked?

are they going to be sponsored? are hay going to be reunited with their family, their parents? so far they've been relocated to areas like kingston, poughkeepsie and myself, and once our deputies and we see them leave the airport and get onto the highway, we don't know what happens to them from there on. will: i think the big takeaway here is -- and i hear you inherently focusing, rachel, on the human nature, this human tragedy, you know? these are children who are being shuttled around the country in the middle of the night. that's, you know, by design very secretive. and -- pete: look, they're running to the bus like get away from the cameras. will: it's secretive and it's working. here you have county executives, i don't know, i don't know what happens to them. i don't know where they go. i don't know, do they go to a shell summer do they go to families? i don't even know if they stay in my city. and hen the other part beyond the human tragedy is so much

political, you know, hyperbole about ron desantis and governor greg abbott shipping illegal immigrants up to washington, d.c., new york and chicago in order to highlight the problem. that's the point of the problem, to highlight the problem that exists along our southern border. but at the same time, the administration is doing the very same thing. rachel: but worse. with minors. will: yeah. rachel: we, this is part of whole human-child smuggling operation. our government is doing the last leg for the cartels, for those people who are bringing them across the border, the human smuggling operation. this is outrageous, that is people in new york, the officials, do not know what happens to these children. pete: yeah. ray that the american public doesn't know what happens to them. pete: prominent democrats, members of the media were saying that what ron desantis did was human trafficking, right? how dare he use these illegals as pawns.

you're telling me these minors know where they're going, consenting to where they're going? does a 13-year-old really get to set the terms of where they're going in the middle of the night? this is facilitating trafficking. where they go, we don't know. now, another piece of the puzzle of what do we do with all these illegal children, where do they go to school? and what impact does that have on other american kids in that classroom? well, daniela, a new york city education board member, talked about the schools in new york city being overwhelmed. listen. >> the reality is that our schools are not ready for this huge influx of new students who sometimes they have not been in school for a long time, they don't speak the language. and so you have schools in our district here, district 2 in manhattan, that have received over 100 students in heads than 10 days. we don't have enough bilingual teachers that students that speak spanish many our schools

that are being asked to translate for their new classmates. >> wait a minute. so the kids, who are supposed to be learning -- >> exactly. >> -- are being asked to translating? >> they're not focusing on their open learning, and the student who's being instructed by another child, of course that's not an ideal situation. pete: good on lawrence jones, by the way, for going out there. we know it's happening. rachel: i hear it when i go and meet with other moms, you know, in new jersey. last year people were saying to me, moms were coming up and saying, hey, listen, this is a big story. my kid a's classroom is overflowing, and we don't have enough -- you know, there's not enough resources and what happens here. we heard about the homeless shelters getting overflowed with migrants coming in, but now, you know, of course it's going to impact the school system. of course it's going to hurt social services. what happens to the resources that would go to a foster child, an american foster child, for example? are hay going to be diverted for

this new problem? there's a lot going on here and, again, i must say that we -- that new york city officials do not mow the whereabouts of the children that we just saw on that flight. there's flights coming in all the time. this is a human trafficking problem. our federal government is complicit in child trafficking. will: you know, there was a poll at the end of this last week, and it showed i think it was in the state of california how important rising crime rates are to voter motivation and how much bigger it is than abortion. and it's interesting, and i guess it should be surprising but not really. you impact people's quality of life, and you're going to see. it's going to play a major point in the midterms. in texas, illegal immigration -- tied to crime, by the way -- is far and away the number one issue. we just had kamala harris in texas talking about abortion, much lower on voters' concerns.

you see this in new york? watch this rise to the top in all of these areas. so new york, california. there'll be crime, illegal immigration because you have politicians and a political system that are totally ignoring, in fact, fostering, the decline of quality of life issues. rachel: and those children, when they go to schools, they're not going to the elite private schools that the politicians who are making these decisions children go to. they're going to public school. so, again, we talk the all the time about how these policies hurt the middle class, the working class. this is another example of that. pete: it's staggering, it's a total abdi can case of -- abdication of responsibility of the government with. in thed middle of the night, counting on never being held to account, by the way. without our cameras, whether it's the border with bill melugin, griff general kins, our cameras here at the bus terminal, who else is telling the story?

that's what they're counting on. rachel: it'll be like del rio where if there's a racial charge, then the media will swarm in. pete: like the big whipping. rachel: exactly. but as long as it's just about brown kids coming across the border with no adults and somehow our government, you know, facilitating this, hay don't care. will: a little bit later in the show, coming up in about 20 minutes, pete and i will go off the wall. we'll talk borders across the globe, a world of walls. various scenarios, different countries that have erected walls. pete: most of them are in the maim of security. rachel: the northing pole has a wall, pete? pete: you'll have to watch. [laughter] santa is not messing around. will: now turning to some headlines. kanye west, of course, has been in the news. this from very early morning, late last night, ye west threatening to go to war the

with jewish people in a series of now-deleted tweets. including, quote, i'm a bit sleepy tonight, but when i wake up, i'm going to go death con 3 on jewish people. i can't be anti-semitic because black people are also jews also. you guys have toyed with me. twitter flagged that post saying it violets -- violates its rules. he was restricted on instagram, this is now updated. those posts were accused of anti-semitism as well after claiming p diddy was controlled by the jews. authorities in florida arrest six suspected looters after hurricane ian, the suspects accused of stealing sneakers. the lee county sheriff had to say: >> people have the right to be safe and secure, and we are 100% on it from the air, from the if

waterways and boots on the ground. will: the sheriff and governor ron desantis stressed florida will have no tolerance for looting as floridians work to put their homes and businesses back. pete: that's what you do. it's not that hard. shame them, put them on tape. will: here's a slice of luck, the new england patriots' newest offensive lineman inked a deal, sebastian gutierrez was working at uncle mario's pizza. i'm not rolling my r, just is so you know. rachel: no, it's a double -- will: that's in north dakota. he landed a spot on the practice squad, and now he's trading an hourly wage and tips for nearly 11 grand a week. his boss writing i never thought in a a million years i would have an nfl player working for me. and those are your headlines. rachel: i love that story. that's awesome. pete: all right. now to another fox news alert. top white house officials

rachel: a fox news alert, top biden officials meeting with the taliban. it's the first face to face interaction since al-qaeda's former leader was killed by a u.s. drone in kabul back in july. miss -- muslim scholar dr. quan, a ahmad joins us now. tell us about your worries, concerns and hopes for this meeting. >> first of all, no matter how detestable it is to engage with the taliban, and i say that as a muslim, there's no getting around that they are now in power with afghanistan, and we know, we've had a 20-year global war on terror led by the united states in response to al-qaeda and the war they launch. ed on the west and all her allies. but we know that military and political action is not enough, so there has to be dialogue.

that dialogue, which is commencing with a deputy of the cia in the biden administration now and taliban chiefs, is a beginning. but that dialogue will have to encompass much of the muslim world. and from here in the epicenter of's lam, saudi arabia, the holy land of muslims, we know that combating fundamentalism and radical islamists like the taliban is something that we have to do at the grassroots. i'm here as a guest of the muslim world league, his excellency, who is one of the pioneering are religious scholars and revered clerics, clerical act academics who knows how to dismantle this fundamentalism and start changing the way the world functions around these islamists and reform them. we've been watching images of the protests in iran. that is the outcome of 40 years of not engaging with that

radical ideology underpinning the iranian government. rachel: yeah. well, you bring up a great point. i guess the question is do you trust the biden administration to take the lead in these kind of reforms and talks? >> so that's a great question, rachel. and to be honest, just speaking personally, i have very little confidence in this american administration, and they've demonstrated a catalog of errors. one of the worst things was the mismanagedded exit from afghanistan. but here the biden administration is very much associated with the obama administration. it's the same characters who empowered shia islamist iran at the expense of the entire sunni world for reasons that nobody's really clear on. and while i'm here in saudi arabia, i'm able to see with a 25-year advantage how saudi arabia has moved away from fundamentalist expressions of islam which we as true muslims regard as quite anathema and how

fast the society's able to respond and wants that as muslim believers that are here. and in this, the doctor is truly visionary. he counts among his friends the late secretary -- sorry, the late senator john mccain and the former president, president george w. bush. so the values that are being guided at the core of saudi arabia are very much in line with the values of the united states. why was it so hard to preserve inside the united states? rachel: i think you put the nail on the a head here when you talked about these obama holdovers and the kind of influence they have. they squandered the opportunity during the green revolution in iran, and we're seeing that again here. so i want to talk about what we're seeing in iran right now, because as a woman, it's super inspiring. it's truly amazing to see women with so much courage started, by the way, by an iranian pop star who cut her hair back on september 19th, posted on

instagram. she had millions of followers, and now other women are taking that courageous move of cutting their own hair, burning their hijabs. tell us what this means and how western countries should be responding to this potential opportunity this these protests. >> these gestures are incredibly moving, and women are doing them spontaneously. western women, muslim women, here in saudi arabia one of the leading designers who's a saudi woman has actually elevated, an iranian model doing the same thing. we've seen this also in the belgium parliament by a kurdish belgium member. remember the woman who lost her life in the iranian protests. in fact, an iranian-kurdish woman. but i'm a little more of a pragmatist. we have seen these scenes before. as you mentioned, the revolution which president obama watched fairly impassively without 'em

pa powering, nothing was done about that. in fact, we only strengthen the positions of the iranian authority9 and the iranian hardliners and two years later followed the arab spring. so i would not hold my breath for the united states to empower these iranian protesters in any way, and this is at a time when president biden is desperate for iranian crude because of the energy war that he's deepened with his own policies. and if now you see president biden attacking, ridiculously attacking saudi arabia and opec+ for launching or retaliating against the united states. but these are circumstances manufactured almost primarily by the biden administration. and that's despicable. rachel: yeah. they're absolutely empowering the regime that is, you know, oppressing all of these women. and and it's really over energy, and these policies are not, are not benefiting the women there, the people there, the arab world, and much less the

american people. so, dr. ahmed, really great insight. thank you for joining us all the way from saudi arabia. appreciate that. >> my pleasure. and if i but can just say, the saudis watch your show. the saudis are extremely passionate about our american ideals and very concerned about the decline in the united states of some of those ideals at the hands of woke ideology and are very concerned about the crime and instability in the united states. so everything that we are experiencing as americans is being watched here. rachel: yeah. that's very interesting. the obsession with the iran deal is another thing to watch. thank you so much for joining us this morning. appreciate it. >> pleasure, rachel. look forward to seeing you. rachel: coming up, liberal leaders calling for a realistic strategy to stop the flow of migrants as the border crisis arrives in their cities, but could the solutions be as simple as a wall? pete and will go off the wall with a look at how other countries are protecting their borders. ♪

t not up common in the world today to -- uncommon to see countries fortifying their border. almost always in response to illegal immigration with a wall. let's start in spain. spain if actually built a bull that 2005. for the last two decades, they maintained a wall that geographically is on the african continent. spain if has several cities on the moroccan side of the mediterranean sea, and in order to protect migration into spain, therefore, they built a wall, pete, protecting those two cities. pete: that's exactly right. it's african migrants effectively that were coming illegally. much of the fence looks like this, other parts look like 20-foot concrete walls with barbed wire on top, 106 cameras. do walls work? of course walls are effective, but if you're not overwatching them, surveilling them, they become significantly less effective. they've got cameras. will: this next one is fascinating for a whole host of

reasons including, of course, as it's always pointed out, the border between the united states and mexico is 1900 miles. so the feasibility of building a long, gigantic wall is often called into question. check out what saudi arabia has done, they built a 600-mile-long wall on their border with iraq to protect saudi arabia from islamic militants. pete: from isis, yes. it had a ditch on it to protect against vehicles, triple-layeredded steel, 40 watch towers with radar to detect vehicles and helicopters. will: 600 miles long. hungary, pete, has been a leader with a populist leader who's talked about, in his estimation, the perils of mass migration. pete: he made it clear, you're not coming into our country illegally. razor wire, then he upgraded to a high-tech fence. they always took their border seriously, but a lot of these walls have to do with the migrant crisis europe faced become in 2015, 2016, floods of

muslim, effectively, from africa and the middle east came into europe. hungary said, hey, a wall will protect us, and it did. will: as did the u.k. this has taken place on the french side, but this is a u.k.-funded and inspired project because what's happening in france with mass migration is people were running through the tunnel, the train tunnel that connects france and the u.k., often times to their death, by the way. and these massive migrant camps in france were essentially funneling people into the tunnel. pete: yeah. the migrant camp on the french side was known as the jungle, so they put up a 13-foot concrete wall to prevent people from desperately running into a tunnel where they'll likely die. that's how desperate they are. will: there'sal a wall or a fence -- pete: this one's really newsworthy. will: -- in finland. pete: for reindeer.

[laughter] will: they also have one on the other side with moreway. basically, you know, we have these high-fenced hunting ran are. s in north americasome basically, finland is a preserve. pete: how significant are all of these? if are we just talking about a few outlier examples? absolutely not. in fact, in the world today, look at the numbers, these are the number of border walls world wild. edge of world war ii, 7. by the time the berlin wall fell, 15. today,s 77 major walls built around the globe. will: pete and or i were just talking about why this is happening. is world getting more fluid? is mass migration really driving everyone to look at their population? milton friedman once said you simply can't have a giant welfare state and illegal immigration. whether or not it's europe or the united states of america, you can't have a country where you have medicare, social security and free entitlement ares for simply living in a country and at the same time have a completely open border.

pete: if you're going to have the welfare state, i remember that quote very well, you're going to need a border. otherwise, automatically people come to benefit from that. will: and bankrupt that system because they're not contributin- pete: absolutely right. 45 are currently under consideration or being constructed, to your point, countries want to remain sovereign. will: do walls work? joe widen's summer white house -- joe biden's summer white house has funded a half a million dollar fence. pete: walls don't work, that's what he said, i but it works for his vacation home. how effective was donald trump in building the border wall? the total number of miles be built under donald trump. 458 miles of fence constructed since january 2017. will: again, the entire u.s./mexican border about 1900, 2000 miles. almost 1300 miles of that in

texas. 458 miles inside of texas, and and by the way, the governor of texas funding another 1.7 miles currently in place. pete: i believe, i have to think about it, the number of miles built under this administration, is it doughnut? at least they haven't torn any down yet. will: les been some suggestion that funds would go to tearing down partially completed walls. pete: so maybe it's a negative numb. as rest of the world realizes what is important. still ahead, the violence surging across the country is at the top of mind of the majority of voters, but according to "the washington post," the crime crisis was made up by fox news. our big sunday show panel all react next. ♪ ♪

♪ >> senator, any reaction to the crime crisis in america? if you mentioned policy violence, i just wanted to follow up on that. you supported the defund the police movement that led to a rise in item. -- in crime. do you have a reaction? any reaction? no reaction? will: with just 30 days to the midterm, gianno caldwell getting the brush-off there as he confronts democrats about

america's summering crime crisis, but "the washington post" claims we're making it up. one column declaring crime is surging in fox news coverage. stories of violent incidents are used to portray the sense of crime and may or may not report with reality. fox news has been very active in trying to portray exactly that. joining us now, our "big sunday show" panel, sean duffy, jackie deangelis and fox news political analyst gianno caldwell who you just saw confronting politicians. >> that's right. will: in washington d.c. did you get any reaction, gianno? did you get anyone to actually address the crisis? >> danny davis, chicago congressman, actually did. and he believed that lori lightfoot would get reelected, and he supported kim fox. that makes no sense to me when you know that crime is up in chicago overall by 37%. you see last year almost 300 kids 16 and under shot, you see a 3-year-old shot last week,

7-year-old, and it's just a consistent narrative of fact. democrats have lost control of our cities across the country. they supported the defun the police movement -- defund the police movement, and they have exacerbated any crime that existed in any city, and now they don't want to be held accountable. and since my brother was murdered on june 24th on the south side of justice -- chicago, i've been out for justice. it was necessary for me to go to the nation's capital and find out exactly what are they thinking and hold them to account. chuck schumer and the squad leaders, they ran away from me. will: yeah. pretty symbolic, jackie, to see those democratic politicians run away from gianno. they're running away from the policy they supported which was defund the police. >> absolutely. and they have nothing to say about it. and this washington post article is so ridiculous because the author starts out by talking about your confrontation with nadler and how he runs away, and he basically said the author said murder and shooting

incidents are down relative to last year though violent crime is up. murder, when you compare it to 2019, pre-pandemic, president trump's in office, murders are up 47% in this city. so it does matter what you're looking at, right? we're not looking at the '70s in new york city, decades ago. we're looking at now, most recent times. and that's the change that people understand. they're living it every day, they're experiencing it, and that's what they're voting on. so that's the point that we're making when we talk about crime on this channel, it's not catnip. will: and it is, sean, a concern, look at this poll, voter concern, 79% higher crime rates. this is important, sean, and you can't deal with it by denying reality. >> we're having a mind meld here because i was going to mention that. is fox news doing deep fake videos to say, listen, crime is really happening, people are getting beat up on the subways and getting cold cocked from behind or stabbed? is fox doing deep fakes, or is

fox news able to control the polling in america to show that crime is this much of an issue? politicians around the country are running on inflation and crime. two big issues that everyone has seen in their lives. they don't feel safe when they walk through their neighborhoods or kids are walking down the street. so it's a real issue and the times here, listen, it doesn't make any sense. >> and you know what really pisses me off, my brother was murdered, and you're saying this isn't a crisis? how dare you even say something like that. then he's intellectually dishonest when he says the fbi report went down by 1%. well, the fbi report said that 40% of police departments didn't report, new york and los angeles, and we know that crime is up there. so how dare you? it just doesn't make any sense. but this explains exactly why gallup did a poll that shows 17% of u.s. cults -- adults have confidence in newspapers. that's exactly why, because they keep lying.

this is a propaganda operation. fox news is the only network that are holding these folks accountable. you don't see this much of anywhere else in any reporting. this is a problem. we're telling the truth, and they're lying about it. >> and we've experienced it, i was mugged during the pandemic, i talked about it on the air. a liberal blogger tweeted and asked me why i was crying about it on television and did i want a cookie. will: oh, my gosh. wow. we only have a little bit of time. i want to ask each of you how this issue and any other plays out in the midterm. sean, which races are you focused on? >> i'm a house guy, sean patrick maloney, he's the chair of the dccc, it's the house democrat wing, he's the chair of that here in myself, i think he's going to lose if it's a good night for republicans. also katie porter, she is a radical, very smart liberal. she's going to lose. orange county, traditionally a republican area. she's raised $17 million and

still can't win that seat, that's how bad her policies are. will: jackie? >> i'm looking at nevada, also pennsylvania neck and neck in both situations. dr. oz has made tremendous ground and, of course, fetterman hasn't gotten up to the plate, no interviews, no debating, no talking about the real issues like the economy which matters to voters. but also nevada where right now the economy is the top issue to 44% of voters. 26% of democrats say they care about the economy, 14% of them say it's all about abortion. but, of course, it's adam laxalt that's really focusing on crime, on the economy, focusing on the issues that matter to people right now in the here and now, the present, to that washington post article. we're not talking about the past. we're talking about now. will: quality of life issues. gianno? >> herschel walker, he was my first guest on my podcast, out loud with gianno caldwell. it's in the margin of error, and i'm looking to see how is he

going to reshuffle his campaign in 30 days. in addition, when we look at war knock, he said his own personal failings, fox news has not verified the reporting on herschel walker, we've seen these smears when it comes to campaigns. who knows if it's true or not, we'll find out soon enough, but this is the race, i think, most of the country is going to be watching on election night. >> you and have color coordinated -- [laughter] >> and so did we.
