the fall which -- will: now i'm okay with that. pete: now you're okay? will: it's almost september. pete: it is september. will: is it september? if i don't pay attention to details like that. [laughter] so it's september, it's football season now, i'm okay with that. now we can say it's fall. are you okay with that? you and i have late summer hang-ons. rachel: i'm going to wait until mid -- well, another week or so. will: i'm going to do that. rachel: thanks, will. pete: football is coming, fox at noon, big noon kickoff and nfl football coming, four days. will: thursday night, yeah. pete: five days. we're happy. all right. will: you may not have known it, but unemployment below 14% for 19 straight months and, let me tell you something, first time ever. watch. >> as we head into labor day, we ought to take a step back and take note of the fact that that america's now one of the strock thest job creating -- strongest job creating periods in this our

history, in the history of our country. it wasn't that long ago that america was hughes aring jobs. in fact, my preed e successor was one of only two presidents in history who entered his presidency and left with fewer jobs than when he entered. when i took office, the unemployment rate was 6.3%. the nonpartisan congressional budge office predicted that it would not get below 4% until the end of 2025. now unemployment and the unemployment rate has been 14% for the 19 months, the longest stretch in over 50 years. rachel: so he meant to say 4 percent -- will: right. rachel: he wants to blame donald trump for how the economy was before, how unemployment numbers were before not really counting that his numbers were really great until the pandemic hit, and so he wants to pretend like he somehow magically create all these jobs even though our economy had shut down. and, of course, he's saying everything's to going really

great. i saw an article in the daily beast, he's got the media working with him -- will: why is he doing the white supremacist symbol? rachel: yeah, he should get in trouble for that. [laughter] pete: because it's all a-okay, will. it's all under 14%. he's not wrong. rachel: i read this article saying this is why the economy's not as bad as you think. pete: the biden explainers all the way. bidenomics is a made-up thing. they named it themselves. it's not a thing. he says we're going to build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out. it's all based on talking points and spending your taxpayer dollars on preferred industries that they want to prop up and enrich other people on, and then maybe possibly, you know, things go better for you. but the reality is you feel it, we feel it, everybody does. the economy, is it better or worse urn biden? the fox -- under biden? fox news polling is clear, the majority of americans feel like it's worse. and when you look at inflation and wages against inflation, now you're going to have to pay your

student loans back too. that interest just kicked in yesterday, september 1st. it is september, or will. and so they're flying into the wind here in the campaign trying to sell something that people aren't buying. rachel: that's right. we had vivek ramaswamy on, here's what he had to say about the economy. >> the clear economic problem in this country is that people have had stagnant wages while prices are up 16%. since the time that a bidenen took office. biden took office. clear answer, unlock american energy, the supply of oil and gas by drilling, fracking, burning coal, embracing nuclear. these are sensible policies that both address inflation and deliver economic growth. combined with stabilizing the u.s. dollar and dismantling the regulatory state, that's the wet blanket on businesses across this country. that's how we will restore gdp growth in this country, that's how we will combat inflation in this country. and i think that economic revival, will, that's also one of the inputs to national pride.

will: yeah. as you pointed out, i mean, rachel, you said this earlier in the show, you can try to convince people of a false reality, but economics and kitchen table issues stare them in the face every day. rachel: yeah. will: and, pete, they're gone. that -- the next 14 months is going to be described as a rosy economic picture because they're going to compare it against covid numbers, to your point earlier talking about trump's numbers at the end of his presidency in the middle of a pandemic. which, by the way, they got a recession. we'll be lucky if we get through this next 14 months would want a recession, they're going to do that and make everything in the world racist. pat: they're going to do both -- pete: they're going to do both. remember pushing granny off the cliff? that's going to look like child's play. everything they're going to roll out, because the economy isn't getting better. you can't really run on it. they go back to the extreme maga, ultra-maga republican attacks because they think that's what worked for them. rachel: it definitely is coming,

you're right about that. by the way, it was a very interesting interview with vivek in the last hour. will: i think so. we had joe kennedy earlier as well. you might remember joe kennedy, he was a high school football coach who knelt to pray after games. he was eventually joined by a lot of students and fellow coaches, and he was let go by the high school that he worked for for displaying prayer at a public school institution. it went to the supreme court, and he won his supreme court case. he's now returned to friday nights. he's returned to the football field. last night from bremerton high school. and after the game, he did kneel in prayer. he was on the show a little bit earlier, and here's what he had to say. >> after 8 years of sitting on the sidelines and not being able to be on the field with my team, to be here with them, to feel the crack of the a pads, to look into their eyes and just pumping them up, being able to be in america and exercising my first

amendment right, i walked to midfield and i took my knee, and i was just so thankful. the only words i could get out was thank you, god. this is america, and the kids can do whatever they want to do. it is never if mandatory. i never can them to come out and join me. that has to be something of free will. but i won't stop anybody from coming out. that's the simple thing. they have just as much right to say a prayer as i do. rachel: yeah. pete: it's nice to see the good guys win. i was really struck by him saying 8 years. will, you said 2015 case, so a guy who loves football, is true to his faith, he's sidelined for 8 years but at the very least vindicated and return will bed to that 50-yard line. and it reminds you when he said at the end it's all voluntary, no one has to. he didn't even -- this year, it sounds like it was pretty much just him. i'd be surprised if other coaches is and students don't

join mihm in the -- him in the future, but what courage, fortitude to see it all the way through and be reinstated. rachel: yeah. but where does he go to get those 8 years back of playing? we're glad that the justice system worked. he did something not for himself, he did it for everybody else who wants the right to pray in public, and we congratulate and thank him for that. will: speaking of football, let's check in with abby hornacek ahead of the colorado-tcu game. >> reporter: hey, will. we had the tcu show girls in this show already, so we, of course, want to show some love too to colorado. we've got the cheerleaders here, they are so excited, and we're excited that you guys are here. this is sara. you guys have a big task. you're going to go in there and you have to cheer, and you're not the home team. what's that going to be like? >> i think it's going to be a little scary at first, we have a big crowd here, the tcu fans are very passionate, but i think we're going to be amazing out are there, and we're super,

super excited to cheer on the buffs today. >> reporter: have you seen a lot of cu fans come through today? >> we're seeing a lot, we're seeing more to us, and i think it's going to be packed today. >> reporter: why don't we get a little performance there from you guys, is that cool? >> let's do it! >> reporter: all right, take it away, ladies. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> buffaloes, buffaloes, go, cu! >> reporter: amazing job, you guys. thank you so much for coming on. good luck today and is we'll be watching for you. will: all right, abby, that that's a fun environment in fort

robbers on notice giving his deputies the authority to pursue offenders who commit crimes like the one on your screen. that sheriff, derek sanders, joins us now. sheriff, thanks for being here and for your message. quite a different message than i would imagine criminals are hearing, say, in seattle just north of you, what, about an hour? >> yeah. washington state has the most restrictive pursuit policy at the state level in the entire country. pete: so how are you able to then, therefore, pursue? i mean, are you going against that policy, or does each county have an opportunity to do it a little differently? >> no, i think it just, it goes back to the traditional viewpoint of what these burglaries are, and what we did is we reach out to the prosecutor's office and had conversations with the executive staff. and we essentially came to the conclusion that turned legal opinion, there are circumstances where we can treat this as a violent crime and pursue the criminal. pete: so how important is it that criminals hear a message like that from you? do you get a sense that will have a deterrent effect in your

county? >> we hope so. and it doesn't stop there. we're committed to working with business owners to make the community safer and also provide tips to help keep their businesses safe. pete: has this been a problem you've seen in your county, or is it confined to the seattle metro? like, how big of an issue has it been for you? >> at least on the western half of washington state, with we continue to see these issues come up more and more after the legislative changes of 2021 where pursuits were almost virtually banned. so it is a problem across the state, but we have seen that uptick. pete: what's the mindset that says we're going. to to basically ban pursuits? so if we -- you can't have an officer on every corner, you can't have a squad car on every street, so you're eventually going to need to pursue. what ooh's the mindset? i know it's hard to -- there's not a lot of common sense with politicians, obviously, but what are they thinking? >> you know, i think the idea is that pursuits are dangerous, and i have no doubt about that. it's also important to understand that statistically

the most at-are risk person in a pursuit is the criminal who's fleeing. they're statistically the most likely to be injured. and unfortunately, the way our law is written is it literally defines in the law which crimes you will be chased for, and all other crimes are not pursuable. so it literally gives an easy to read playbook for criminals to follow. pete: and the minute -- i've got to believe the arrest rate is far lower lower the minute you're not able to pursue because you lose track of these folks. not held accountable. >> yeah. ordinarily with a lot of these cases they're wearing masks, they're wearing gloves, they're driving stolen cars to buildings, the the leads are gone. it's really difficult to throw resources at that, actually an assault case out of it. and over the last year we have a 5.6% increase in burglary, a 60% increase over the last 2 years of auto theft and a 996% increase -- 96% increases in homicides, so that's the result. pete: there you go. sheriff derek sanders, thanks

we get it. [laughter] we're going to turn now to a couple more headlines. police in pennsylvania still searching for a convicted killer who escaped from prison thursday just days after being sentenced to life in prison. the escapee is an illegal immigrant found guilty of killing his ex-girlfriend in 20221. he is also wanted on murder charges in his home country can of brazil. no word with yet on how he escaped. a $10,000 reward is out for information leading to his arrest. let's hope they find him. now to a fox wildfire alert. thousands in south texas are are being urged to flee there from their homes as a massive blaze burns through walker county just north of he'sen. so far the fire -- of houston. so far the fire has charred more than 1200 acres. it's only 120% contained -- 10% contained. no word on what sparked that fire. some restaurants across the country are taking wellness and kitchen appreciates fees onto

different sides s and that's going to be really hard for nancy pelosi city to take. will: it is fascinating how much they always go back or how frequently they go back to insulting the voter base. deplorable, cling to god and guns, in this case don't, you know, suggesting they don't value human dignity. >> right, exactly. and you'll see that because you see them questioning whether or not joe biden is the right choice, and so they're looking at their bench and they're saying, well, gosh, if we're going to pull from our bench, we're going to have to go to newsom or whitmer. and the9 only thing they're talking about is lgbtq issues, and you look at the state of michigan right now, it's in a dire situation where her own administration said there will be no job growth for 2030. they have no other message to go on than we're going to care for the people who are the minority of the voting bloc. the majority of the voting bloc, we don't really have a message for you, so we're going to shame you into saying if you don't vote for us, then you're bad

people. will: speaking of michigan, so a chinese owner of a michigan ev plant, it's called goshen, many of their employees in china pledge allegiance to the ccp -- this was back in 2021 and material gathered by the daily caller. and they, they had these employees say things like i volunteer to join the ccp, uphold the party's bilaws, observe the provisions of the party, carry out a member's duties, carry out the party's decisions, strictly observe the party's discipline, be loyal to the party, work hard to fight for communism as long as i live. that's the corporate parent in china with many of those employees. now, they have an ev plant not only in america, but in your home state of michigan. >> right. that's the corporate parent. but let me remind you that the ceo of the united states' subsidiary is actually a secretary of that committee. so the. >> ccp committee for goshen, the

secretary of that committee is the ceo of the american subsidiary. now remember when we reported on this months back, the initial reporting on this was that if you go to the american bylaw ares, it says in the american bylaws that this company will have a ccp committee on site in michigan. it clearly stated that. and at the time, oh, no, that's not really what we meant. but now we see that the ceo has essentially pledged his life. i mean, what you just read there is essentially pledging your life above all a else to the ccp. he is the ceo coming to the united states. will: and here's what, this is a statement from from goshen, the american subsidiary as you point out. they say high-tech employees in china are involved with many clubs including biking and hiking clubs -- [laughter] and one politically-affiliated club. none of these clubs are financed by goshen high-tech, and some individuals -- employees individually play for trips to china out of their own pocket.

unless they have cash, they're going to be paying interest rateses of 7.5%, and that might go above 8%, by the way, if the fed hikes rates more because we're till not through with inflation. you look at the price of gas, you look at the price of oil, and you realize that energy prices -- which started the inflation boom about a year and a half ago -- are going up. so, again, the winners are people who have mortgages at the low rate, long-term mortgages, or people with cash. people with cash who can pay cash for houses are still going to find some houses to buy. rachel: yeah. >> but those who are getting in right now are really, really screwed. and, by the way, homeowners are now spending a record 40% of their gross income on their mortgages. rachel: wow. >> that's before they pay taxes. that's a huge drag on anything else that they're trying to buy. rachel: okay. tell us about car buyers. who's the winner and loser here? >> once again, people who have had the loans from before are the winners. now, the car market was --

remember, we had so many people that were trying to buy cars during the pandemic and they couldn't find them because there weren't workers to build them. so is at least there are a surplus now of cars. the problem is mostly for the car makers though who are seeing a slowdown because there is a buildup in inventory. so car makers are in a bind right now, plus the possibility of strikes by the uaw and that's going to put another strain on car makers. but the car buyers who have cash are doing fine. the loans, getting loans, it's it's much harder to get a loan for a used car than it is a new car. rachel: yeah. >> so if you're trying to buy a new car, it's easier to get a loan, but you're still looking at 7.5% interest rates. rachel: i keep hearing you say if you have cash to buy a house or car, you don't care about inflation, you're rich are. what about landlords? >> landlords are having difficulty because of the fact that there's government

intervention all over the place. all kinds of local governments are trying to squeeze landowners. you know, there are these new rules about not being able to kick out these people that come in and homestead in your own property. people are coming back from vacations finding strangers living in their houses. so their -- landlords having a lot of difficulty with regulations. but again, because rents are so high right now, they're doing pretty well. i don't know how much longer that's going to last now because all of these politicians are looking for ways to help renters, and one of the ways is to screw the landlords are. so they're doing well with high rents, but, of course, that has political pushback, and they might not be enjoying those high rents for long. rachel: david can, let's go right to retirees. who are the winners and losers here? >> you know, it's very interesting. if you're looking at your 401(k), you're not very happy because it hasn't been doing much over the past year.

yes, there have been some great up weeks, but there have been some bad down weeks as well. but if you're looking at what we call fixed income, that is instead of having your money in stocks, you have it in long-term bonds or u.s. government treasuries, you're doing pretty well in the short term because you can, if you have the capacity to move money into short-term treasuries, short-term bonds, you can get on a 3-month bond right now, you can get over 5% interest or a 1-year or even a 2-year. you can go as far as getting a 2-year bond. if you don't feel comfortable buying stocks, you want to park some of your cash in a bond, you can get over 5% interest right now on a 2 the or a 1 or a 3-month bond. so it's actually you have more options now as a retiree than you did a couple of years ago. rachel: you know who doesn't have options? those retire's on fixed incomes. they're really hurting many biden's economy. david, thanks for breaking it

down. >> you got it. rachel: have a great one. >> thank you, you too. rachel: up next, we're going to check in with abby hornacek ahe head of the big game against colorado. and here in new york city we'll get in the college football spirit by tailgating on fox square with with the masterbuilt boys. >> bacon! ♪ we will, we will rock you ♪ ♪ chevy silverado has what it takes to do it all. with up to 13 camera views. and the z71 off-road package. ♪ you ok? yeah. any truck can help you make a living. this one helps you build a life. chevy silverado. she runs and plays like a puppy again. his #2s are perfect!
