♪ ♪ we'll have a house party, we don't need nobody. ♪ turn your tv off -- rachel: we're having a house party right here in fox studio. we're going to have more of the house party outside on fox square because we're celebrating national sports day with betty's bounces. pete: do better, andrew.

do better. [laughter] we're all watching. oh, there we go. not bad. joey: he's got it. pete: he runs the green room for us. i'm going to be honest, first of all, we love betty's bounces. they love them, they bring so much here. andrew warned me, they said, you sure you want that one? [laughter] it's not a great one. so this may not be the highest standard or level of a "fox & friends" weekend competition -- rachel: way to promote our segment. pete: we're going to bring ourselves down to this level. you know what this audience expects from us? honesty. it's not the best inflatable i've ever seen. this isn't. but we're going to make do with it, and we're going to -- joey: i think they're bringing it down to my skill level. they knew i was on today instead of will who's, like, this amazing athlete. [laughter] joey's on today, he doesn't move from the waist down very well, we'll make it simple. so the audience likes it when i

win, we do know that -- pete: that's true. joey: so they had to bring it to me. rachel: i think it's a great point. joe biden says we've got a rock star economy -- can. pete: we've got a crappy inflatable. [laughter] that is not a statement on betty's bounces. this is just the one in the back of the container that doesn't come out very often, and they used it for us. betty's bounces.com. i'm sure check it out, have 'em, just don't order that. joey: stay tuned in case it's more difficult for pete than he's letting on. rachel: somebody who's performing badly on the road, joe biden and kamala harris doing their midterm road trip. and that's with former president, the former president is scheduled to hit the campaign trail, that's barack obama, as republicans surge in the polls in several key states. pete: we'll see who's more effective and who the candidates

actually want to help them. alexandria hoff has more. >> reporter: president biden's expected to make two trips to pennsylvania this month, his first an appearance with john fetterman on thursday whose lead over dr. oz habaneroing. and then on the 28 -- has been narrowing. and then on the 28th, a democratic party event in philly. but their lagging approval ratings, well, they follow them, and that has put candidates in an awkward position. and that is where former president barack obama comes in. the former president announced yesterday that he will hit the campaign trail in georgia and michigan later this month on top of already-planned stop in wisconsin. over to new york now and some last minute concern for democrats there as governor kathy hochul fights to preserve her seat against republican challenge challenger lee zeldin. that race is now a toss-up, it shows hochul leading by 5.3% with 7% still undecidedded.

and check out, a popular, alaska-packed campaign -- action-packed campaign ad has gotten a reboot, it's called texas reloaded, and this time the it features fellow republican candidates including rah flores. flores' opponent now facing some criticism for how he phrased a dig at flores for not supporting gun legislation following the shooting in you valley. >> we need everyone's -- uvalde. we need everyone's help, and that's way we're going to push back on these outside resources that are coming here, picking a candidate, hand-picked candidate that can't think for herself, can't speak for herself, can't act for herself. >> reporter: women have heard lines like that before, so it's definitely touchier story, and there's limited time for candidates to clean up their messaging. rachel: thank you, alexandria,

that made me mad, saying that mayra flores, a conservative hispanic, can't think for herself. thank you very much. she is thinking for herself, which is why she's a conservative in a border state, because she knows that liberal policies are hurting hispanic families -- pete: get back in your lane, that's the message always from democrats based on whatever your skin color is or your gender identity, get yo -- in your lane. joey: i got this right, she's married to a border patrol agent, right? pete: you do. joey: she's representing her entire family and what that -- what they live for and the things her husband goes through, she sees firsthand. she also understands the perspective of those coming across the border, so she's the whole package. she understands this whole issue. rachel: yeah. she will be -- she is the first legal immigrant from mexico to become a u.s. congressperson.

and, by the way, her opponent also photoshopped her picture. you see how beautiful mayra flores is, she's gorgeous. you can't, but i can, and he photoshopped her eyebrows so they would look like angry bird, and he was caught doing that. this guy is totally off his rocker and clearly very intimidated and afraid of a conservative latina. guess what? there's going to be about three or four of them coming into the house if the midterms go in favor of the republicans. pete: a whole new crop of wise latinos. rachel: wiser -- pete: actually wise latinas, that's right. here's another topic that's front and center -- can i still have between turtle in my mouth. [laughter] education. we saw what happened during covid. we saw what happened in glenn youngkin's race many virginia, how central it was.

he almost stumbled into that issue, but good on him for emphasizing parents and education. the republican study committee which is the conservative arm, more or less, of the republican caucus has now put out a family policy agenda specifically on education, specific specifically on parents and specifically on families. that's really small font, so i'll do the best i can. the protection of kids from par-left ideologies, policies that give working families flexibility, reflect that parents not government officials are best qualified to make decisions, empowering parents for more choice and control over pre-k and k-12 education, reforming our higher education system among them. the one i highlighted was empowering parents with more choice and control over pre-k and k-1 education. that should -- k-12 education. that should be number one because all the other things cascade from that. and when you talk to voters, it all clicks. right now my property taxes go

to the school district whether my kids go there the or not. and if i go to a private school, i'm paying additional. if those dollars actually went to parents, it's broken because now their kids can go anywhere. you'll be demagogued by the left, who cares? parents want it and understand it. joey: i don't know how main stream this will be compared to kevin mccarthy's agenda that he put out, economy, inflation, things like that, but what i love about this is this takes so many issues that are otherwise politically divisive and brings them back to an issue that's transcending politics. when we talk about education and schools, that is trumping a working mom's other political ideologies or working dad's political ideologies. i may not be republican here or here, but they're the only ones making sense right now. this agenda brings it back and

says, hey, incentivize work because that is uplifting families. hey, your choice in what you do with your family is a part of this uplifting families even down through the foster and adoptive system. if you live in texas, that's a huge issue. and i think this is really smart. take some of these issues, even abortion, and say, listen, if you're pro-abortion, you can't be pro-family, whether or not you believe that, to spin that issue towards this agenda is really smart for republicans because they're going to reach people who may be divided in other places. rachel: so when i realize this, what i say is they're responding to the base. and i take this 30,000 feet up and say what we are seeing now is the fundamental shift in the republican party. the republican party used to be the party of tax hikes, and it was the country club party, and everything was in service of corporations and tax rates, and hay sort of begrudgingly took

these value voters to gain power, and they sort of tossed a few bones. then two things happen. along came donald trump who actually appreciated and delivered, roe v. wade overturned and other family issues, and you also had a rise of public -- women into the congress, more women. and now what we're seeing is the republican party is the party of families, of parents. and so market and tax, you talked about the taxes to the school districts. it's not about the tack rate. pete: it's not about the tax rate at all. it's about the principle of it. rachel: no,st about, to me, it's about the economy and taxes in service of families. pete: and freedom and flexibility for parents to make the choices they want for their kids. if you got two with working parents, you're paying property taxes, but they can't home school, and they probably can't afford right now, potentially, to send to a private school.

rachel: yep. pete: but if there's an educational savings account or tax crept and now the $8,000 they otherwise pay in property taxes goes into their bank account, they are now flexible and mobile to make other choices. okay, maybe i don't work and i home school. or maybe i do e send them to the christian school that i can't afford. that's empowering parents. it has nothing to do with nitpicking how much hay pay in property taxes -- joey: it is a little bit reactive -- rachel: it's about family. what can you do to enable and support family cohesion, family por mission, children -- formation, children and then your tax policies and economic policies are about supporting that. joey: what have progressives and democrats done? they've overtly taken up the mantel and if you look at certain web sites like the original black lives matter web site, destruction of -- rachel: exactly. joey: maybe not policy because it's hard to enact because it is

so radical, but so much ideology and principle of focusing on the family is somehow wrong and that it takes a community, and what they mean is government, to raise your kids or make choices. the void is there, republicans have to fill it. so what are they doing? hey, look, the policies that we already support are what promotes a family and protects a family and gives a family the freedom to live as americans. so i think it's really smart. i also think it's de facto really true. pete: yeah. and i hope they boldly fill it. they're going to be accused of anti-education, see what the unions represent, what they care about, they want to take control of your kids at the lowest of ages. rachel: i just want to say they've gone so far left on those democrats' side, they've gone so radical that it's so obvious and transparent what they're trying to do is separate parents and their children, separate the children from the values of the parents. it's now laid bare, and you have a choice. there's one party that wants to empower participants and families -- parents and

families, and there's one that wans to actually be the de facto parent of your child and introduce a bunch of really weird values to your kids. and so that's the choice. and if the republicans embrace this new mantra, we're not the country chub, tax party, we're the family party, they are the winning message. pete: yeah. you're not weird if you think men can't get pregnant. [laughter] it's really basic stuff at this point. also, if you want to engage with some weird ideas, you can go to any college. but might i recommend ithaca college in upstate new york because they're hosting an optional year-long anti-racism institute where the faculty and staff, once a week they say volunteer tearily, are segregated by race to their own corners and own rooms in order to discan mantle white supremacy. -- dismantle white supremacy. people who say they're fighting racism, but they're actually fomenting it and creating

additional distinctions. rachel: that's right. i'm sorry ca college was asked about it, and they said this: ithaca college is a predominantly white institution. much of the student's work is focusing on in-- unpacking the impact of whiteness and working to decenter these practices. the curriculum will be based on building equity literacy. you're illiterate on equity, joey, and ability starting with the recognition of racism and white supremacy in person, policy and pedagogy. pete: that's telling every teacher and everyone else, yeah, we don't have to say that we're doing crt, but in everything that you introduce, make sure it's a part. rachel: so they say it's optional. and i say it in much the same way the communist party says it's optional to attend -- [laughter] their communist rallies. just imagine you're a white person at that college who says,

you know what? i don't want to participate in that. there's probably going to be some repercussionings. pete: rachel did not attend today. joey: you put all the white people in a room and say they're bad, and what's e the result of that? you're creating a vision. pete: you're exactly right, and the scary part of it is we're trying to do that to second and third graders. it's one thing that faculty and staff -- joey: a lifetime of experience to maybe push back. in the. pete: yeah, you look at your teacher, and that person is authority. i liked -- looked at my fifth, sixth, seventh grade teacher like that as well. rachel: that's the point. the whole, entire culture, all the values that our country is based on and idea of merit or and being this color blind society where we reward people for hard work and resourcefulness, get rid of tha- joey: why is that so hard? why do we need to literally divide people to treat people

equally and fairly? this is racism under the guise of anti-racism. pete: you don't hate yourself enough, that's what it comes to -- rachel: by the way, we asked ithaca college to give us a response, a comment from fox news digital, and they actually locked the event web page -- [laughter] to a password-protected page, so we couldn't get into their web page anymore. pete: i told you, i got in. howard zinn is awesome,. rachel: is that the password for everybody -- pete: pretty much. we're just going to height the page from you and assume you're look away. -- you'll look away. for the first time, parents are colleging -- challenging the idea. joey: before kids even get to college, parents are standing up to school boards, and they're talking, loudoun county was a big topic last year with the election of glenn youngkin, and our own ainsley earhart had a chance to speak to some residents out there. and we have this, this video of

a loudoun county dad just absolutely passionately talking about how he wants his kids to grow up. >> i want my daughter to have the same america i had growing up, the same opportunities. and that means you've got one job. aye got one job, and i'm not going to -- can i just want them to have the same opportunities to be free, to be judged by the content of their character and on the merit. and not because they're black that, oh, you have this helping hand and employers -- no, i don't want that for them. i want the same america that i had the opportunity. joey: so much passion, so genuine and honest, and i just wish everyone had a chance to see that and listen to the words he said. pete: we were getting too close to the -- it really is, to the content of our character versus the color of our skin, so something had to change. rachel: there's a ideological,

you know, motivation behind it, there's also a cottage industry between the, quote-unquote -- pete: oh, you get paid a lot to be a diversity -- joey: turning now to our headlines, a 67-year-old man is violently dragged and beaten for $17,000. the suspect brutally punched the victim and managed to escape the cash. also in new york a man is arrested for allegedly trapping a woman inside of a subway turnstile. police accusing the suspect of asking her for her metro card. the man forced himself into the turnstiles and left with her wallet. now to a fox weather alert. massive chunks of hail falling from the sky during a seriesover of -- series of powerful storms yesterday. residents posting photos, one america up to 2 inches. those storms soaking the region in rain and bringing heavy winds up to 69 miles per hour. for more on story and so much

a race, i think that was charlotte on memorial day. listen, kurt, he watches the show, brother, we're so proud of you. he's supported hundreds of tickets or given to armed service members over the last couple of seasons, and he's just a great guy. he's been through the ups and downs of the sport. i believe he's the first cup series driver to win with ford, chevrolet, dodge and this year toyota. pete: oh, wow. joey: also rookie of the year in 2014 in indycar. everything that has a steering wheel, he's good at it. pete: he is one of the good guys. and, by the way with, as a newer nascar fan, you can tell -- e. joey: he's good. his brother's really good. rachel, maybe that could be your sport. rachel: i've been to as many nascar events now that i've joined "fox & friends" as you, joey -- pete: i think that -- [laughter] rachel: i do love going to those. pete: we will be back at the start of next season.

♪ joey: china's xi jinping expected to i award himself a third term as the leader of the communistist regime saying his country will never give up taiwan and calling for faster military growth. what does this mean for asia and america in let's ask hudson institute senior fellow rebecca heinrichs. is this a surprise at all? i feel like we supported this the same way the last time he extended his stay in power. >> good morning, joey. he is trying to, and he will, in fact, cement his place in history on the same level of power as mao say dung. we don't want to be inured to what that means, his policies resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of chinese people because of the famine that his

piles caused -- policies caused. and now we have xi jinping, and what he wants to do for the chinese people, you see already, he's asserting himself more boldly, aggressively, provocatively abroad, using more incendiary language, bibuilding up his military, and he's also cracking down domestically with his tech no-authoritarian state, this massive surveillance state to crush any kind of nonconformity that goes against the chinese commune communist party. these covid lockdowns is for the chinese people, he claims, cracking down on dissent protests, cracking down on religious expression. joey: understand how this might be ultimately worse for freedom for the chinese people, but when we look at it internationally, how do we perceive xi jinping strength thenning his power with their so so-called congress, how do we see that as a threat to

the united states? >> what he wants to do, he's got great big ambitions to replace the united states as the strongest economic and strongest military in the world. with that power, he wants to make these international institutions, the u.n., the w.h.o., we've already seen this, corrupted to bend towards the chinese way. not the way the united states likes to bend things towards freedom, prosperity, free trade, fair practices, reciprocity in business, but to clamp down on speech and all these other ways. you can look and see what kind of world the chinese communist party wants by looking to see what it's like domestically. so he wants to take taiwan, that's the first thing. taiwan stands in stark contrast to the chinese communist party, right? these are are ethnically the same kind of people, but they're free and prosperous under self-governance. so he wants to take taiwan by force if necessary, he's told his military or be ready to take taiwan by 20 the 27.

you take taiwan, it gives them great military benefit to contest the united states, economic benefit, of course, and it -- he thinks that that'll prove that the chinese communist party way is better than what the west prefers which is free come and democracy -- freedom and democracy. joey: yeah, we have to remember, you know, the implications these things have on us. we've had a few tumultuous -- tumultuous relationship with china, and it looks like we know who here -- we're going to be dealing with moving forward. rebeccah heinrichs, thanks very much. congressman bob fitzpatrick is calling out clear ethics violations. his plan to hold them accountable right here next.

report for trading stock in companies that their very own agencies regulate. our next guest is calling out the very clear and ongoing ethics violation and demanding house leadership take action. pennsylvania congressman brian fitzpatrick joins us now. congressman, thanks as much for being here. before we get into the topic real quick, here's or a few more examples just to put some meat on the bone. more than 1800 officials held major tech stocks while scrutinizing those companies. more than 60 officials traded company stock before their departments announced enforcement, so you might say they have some inside information. more than 200 senior epa officials invested in companies that were lobbying that very same agency. 400 white house and state department staff bought chinese stocks while the u.s. considered blacklisting certain companies in that country. and not on the screen is the defense department, officials collectively opened 1.2 million

of aerospace companies, one particular official bought a defense stock five times before it won new business9 from the pentagon. is this just everywhere, congressman? >> yeah, pete, good to see you this morning. pete: good to see you. >> there's a huge gap in the law on the civil side and on the criminal side, section 1348 of federal 18 which deal with political company insiders, people that have a fiduciary responsibility to the company, but it doesn't deal with anybody that has an oversight role, members of congress through their committee assign isments who have access to information that is not available to the prick public -- to the public. and also, as you just referenced, executive branch officials, fda officials trading in pharmaceuticals, dod officials, as you just pointed out, trading in defense companies. so they have to fix that gap in the law. there's a number of bills out there, pete.

myself and kristin murphy are one, but already a number of them that are bipartisan. this is one issue that members of the freedom and progressive caucuses all agree on. you're not going to find that often, yet speaker pelosi won't bring it to the floor. pete: it's insider trading. that's exactly what it is. they enrich remss -- themselves why they're in public service. let's say republicans get the gavel. is there an appetite to bring this type of real ethics reform? >> i hope so. i hope kevin brings it, i believe he will, and i think that's a good way to show the difference between the leadership styles. when we take over in january, the american public are going to like what they see. i hope this is one of them, pete. we see the markets fluctuating all over the place, going up or down two, three percentage points in a day, and that's largely because people are losing faith in the stability of the markets and the -- [inaudible] out there.

and when we define fiduciary duty only as people inside the company and not people with an oversight role, there's a huge gap in the law, and that's something that needs to be fixed, and there's legislation to for example it. -- to fix it. pete: it seems like common sense to everybody else on the outside, but if you're on the inside and you can get rich, you start to not be willing to vote on things like this. i appreciate you staying on it, congressman brian fitzpatrick. by the way, we were on the very river depicted in that painting behind me. appreciate your patriotism. >> hope to have you next week, pete. pete: i would love to. washington crossing the delaware on christmas. all right, calling in reinforcements, former president obama hitting the campaign trail for desperate democrats, but is it going to help? >> hey, not being a buzzkill, right? [laughter] yeah, and sometimes democrats are. pete: why our political panel

says not, yes, he can, but, no, he can't. pound for pound, this one's still tougher... tough. tougher. tough. tougher. mahindra - the official tractor of tough and stewart-haas racing. i've got a race this weekend. i'll see you later.

rachel: former president barack obama heads back on the campaign trail for democrats this month, but first he warns his party that cancel culture could hurt their midterm chances. listen. >> you know, sometimes people just want to not feel as if they are walking with on egg shells.

and they want some acknowledgment that life is messy and that all of us in any given moment can, you know, say things the wrong way, you know, make mistakes. rachel: fox news contributor charlie hurt and republican strategist alexandra books join us to react. charlie, barack obama is a smooth operator -- >> yes, he is. rachel: i'm not sure i really believe that he's anti-cancel culture. what's this all about? >> no, but that clip reminds you of why he won in 2008. rachel: exactly. >> and it's, he's very -- like you say, he's very smooth, very appealing and very sort of inviting and mannerly. you know, you get -- you feel very comfortable. he's a very comforting guy. and then, of course, he gets elected in 2008 and then changes everything, and it's always sort of amazed me. he could not have won in 2008 if he had ran the campaign he ran

in 2012 or or with the record that he governed with. and then fast forward all the way to hillary clinton's campaign in 2016 or biden's campaign in 2020, and nobody would have gotten elected. there's no way a guy like barack obama could have gotten elected in 2008. it was a very different person. but aye learned one thing about him, i don't believe him. rachel: exactly. that's how i feel about it. alexandra, sometimes he slips up can though, he really puts the fundamental transformation of america into motion,, and then you come back and just like charlie says, makes you forget about that and feel like -- [laughter] he's with bill maher, he's that reasonable part of the party. >> sure. so, i mean, the -- i think it's a perfect illustration of why he is one of the most successful politicians of our time. you know, i think that it shows his ability to put together a coalition of democrats in his

time that was workable, that included working class voters, that a includes hispanic and black voters. he was able to bring everybody together because he was seen as a unifying figure, and even now he is seen as a popular, historically important figure. in terms of affecting the midterm elections though, i'm not sure if that is going to be able to translate into getting votes. rachel: well, that's an interesting thing, charlie. so now we're at the midterms and everyone who needs help on the trail, right, all these candidates are begging for barack obama to come to their state. is it going to work? can he sell himself as that reasonable guy that we saw on that podcast, or is he going to be tied to, you know, a lot of people say biden's presidency is obama's third term. >> i think it is -- first of all, no. it's not going to help at all. rachel: really? >> and a big reason that they're asking him to do it is because they're so desperate for joe biden to stay away because he's so unpopular are. but go back and remember during

the eight years that barack obama was in the white house, his popularity really didn't even transfer to democrats while he was in office. democrats lost over 1,000 seats while he was there, and, again, like alexandra was saying, a lot of it had to do with he was just cool and people liked him x they thought this was, you know, he was a cool guy to hang around with. but when you got down to policies, none of his policies were popular, and that's what killed democrats. that's what's killing joe biden now. and i've said this a thousand times and it's still true. in 2016 it was the most issue-oriented campaign of our lifetime. and what got donald trump elected in 2016 were the issues that he picked up. if republicans stick with those issues, it's going to be lights out. rachel: charlie makes great points, but i'm wondering because we're talking about democrat voters in detroit, in mill away cue, in -- milwaukee, in atlanta, are the good

feelings -- he was the first black president, he has that a cool factor, he's so beloved. can he be of any help or not? >> look, i think that they're hoping that a his presence in these states helps drive out the base, you know? people who are excited, who have those good feelings from 2008 and 2012. but like i said before, the coalition that elected president obama no longer exists for the democratic party. we see that the democratic party has had steep declines in hispanic popularity, in black pop lairty over the last couple of years. inflation is a huge, driving force of that. not just inflation, really the cultural issues too, i think, are driving that. parents want a say in their kids' schools. that's one thing that's across the board an issue that people care about. i'm from pennsylvania, i was born there, i can tell you in terms of political figures that friends and family have liked over the years, barack obama has been one of them, president trump has been another. these are seep as

transformational figures, and i think a lot of people figure that it was trump-obama voters that really put president trump over the edge. and the democratic party has done nothing to regain the trust of those working class voters, and they're slipping with some of the key parts of the obama coalition. rachel: that is an excellent point. they've done nothing to win over the people who voted for obama, the working class who vote for obama and then vote for trump. in fact, they've increased their disdangerous -- disdain for them. and, of course, it doesn't help when you have an economy like this. last word, charlie. >> cool does not fill your gas tank or buy your groceries. rachel: you guys are great. honestly, i learned a lot in this segment, thanks so much for joining us, charlie, alexandra. don't miss charlie op on "the big sunday show today." let's turn to rick reichmuth. rick: rachel, i'm getting chilly

out here. we're going to have a really cold air mass settle in this week. right now temps not that bad, 40 degrees in chicago, 36 up in fargo. but we are going to start to watch reinforcing batches of cold air begin to surge down across participants of the south even as far south as the north part of florida. temps are going to be much, much cooler than they have been, 15-20 degrees below average. by the time we get towards wednesday morning, jackson, or mississippi, 34 degrees. 34 in atlanta, add a little bit of elevation, and you're going to be seeing some spots well below pleasing. cold air on -- freezing. cold air on its way, it is fall on its way. rachel?

inflation, and now i saw a report saying right now people are are tightening their belts, and her going out to eat less. what can the restaurant owner do? >> i think it's tough. look, a case of eggs used to be $40, it's $186 now. pete: you. -- wow. >> how do you create dishes that are inspiring that bring people back that they can afford to eat? if you've got a family of four it's not only in the restaurants, it's at home too. it's tough. you've just got to kind of ride out the storm and see what people are looking for, what's fast, what's easy -- joey: and we need restaurants that aren't just chains because it reflects the culture of the area. my small town in georgia, all the restaurants are chain restaurants because it's so expensive. not just food, also spirits. tell us a about -- >> this is the all-new irvine's gin. i know you like gin -- pete: i love gin. it is my poison of choice. >> smell that.
