♪ [national anthem] ♪ ♪ will: well, good morning and welcome to "fox & friends," just deserves a standing ovation you bringing us into this national television show with your pictures and the national anthem. just a beautiful job, america. pete: i'm always impressed.

rachel: you too. pete: none of those are repeats. you keep sending them in, we get to enjoy them, share them with you. rachel: good morning. pete: nice hairdo. rachel: it's my turn not to be on the hot seat. pete: i like it. rachel: thank you. pete: a little -- rachel: end of summer something. [laughter] pete: she described it as caramel. rachel: i love it. we'll see how long it lasts, but i like it. will: my turn -- rachel: you're next. will: not much i can do. something else that many people will like, one in particular, is the latest polling on republican presidential candidates -- rachel: and he's big on hair too and hair color. [laughter] pete: it's either blond or strawberry. we learned that after the mug

shot. rachel: ray we did. will: it is former president donald trump who is absolutely running away with the republican primary polling. it's gone up as well, as you can see. from april to now, from 48% support to 59% support while the closest challenge e, ron desantis the, has gone down from 24% to 13%. that's to in the primary were -- that's if the primary were held today. rachel: it's incredible. the indictment, and then a mug shot which they thought would sealing the deal on the other side against donald trump, that this would be just one step too far, republicans couldn't possibly put their number one primary candidate, allow their number one primary candidate to be somebody who just had a mug shot in a city jail in fulton county, and yet here we are. pete: and this poll was taken after the republican debate.

so if people were worried -- we were all positive, would it help, would it hurt? can't hurt him at all. a 46-point lead? two participants to the story are, of course, a 60% lead, 60% at this point is staggering, but also the cratering of ron desantis you can't ignore if you're at 24 in april and now you're at 13. and we're hearing reports about super pacs pulling out money, starting to figure out whether they can coronet to finance that that campaign. and, of course, he's overseeing what's going on down in florida which is exactly what he should be doing. i don't know what the prospects are for any other candidate at this point except for the following through of investigations and all the legal challenges. rachel: which is why you're seeing so much on the internet and podcasts saw, people saying will the democrats, will the deep state, what else can they do? you know there's not a lot left that they can do to stop this

train which is donald trump from moving forward. will they let him become president, i mean, what will it be? and it's an interesting question because i don't know what more they can throw at him. vivek ramaswamy, we had him on yesterday, and i think we had a really interesting conversation with him about some of the questions people still have about and the answer -- he a answers all the questions right. something i hear a lot of people say i really like him, but ooh i'm ott not sure i trust him. -- but i'm not sure i trust him. but he seems so sincere, and i can't question them, his sincerity myself. here he is talking about why he thinks he should be the republican candidate. >> i didn't come out of the birth canal spouting republican talking points, that's true. i came to my views based on my experiences. i was a ceo who, like so many ceoss, was browbeaten into potentially making statements on behalf of black lives matter after george floyd died.

among ceos in america, i was unique in saying that i refused to do it, to say that businesses should stay out of politics, should focus on profits. that ultimately led me to a journey that's caused me to arrive at the pro-american views that is powz today. and that's hi my -- why my convictions are deeper today. i'm an independent patriot who speaks the truth. will: and and, rachel, you can see that vivek ramaswamy's polling has moved from 22 percent to to 5% -- 2% to 5%. you know, i went to a bar in new york city yesterday, watched a little football -- a. rachel: actually looked a little rough this morning. will: whoa! [laughter] pete: he didn't say he went to a rager. will: two beers in the middle of the day, but that's going to bang around between the ears for the next four hours. [laughter] somebody around the corner of the bar starts talking to me,

doesn't share my politics ask was very intent on talking to me about it -- pete: because they knew your politics? will: yeah. and didn't want to let me enjoy the longhorns. but the thing i'm getting at, it's just the same story over and over. it comes back to donald trumpings that's it -- rachel: so this was a democrat. they're just on to accessed, aren't they? will: yeah. we can talk about issues but all of the issues, ultimately, are poured through the prisoning of -- prism of donald trump. of it's not like there's logical consistency that stretches beyond five years. you see what i'm saying? why i'm telling you that, while we're having this conversation, what can i think do to stop donald trump, i think all of that's true for a republican primary, but you have to think about the prism of a general election and what will be done is everything will be done. and we saw it played out in 2020, you know? every story twisted, lies told, censorship run amok, and all of

that is yet to come. that hasn't really begun. rachel: yeah. pete: you are exactly right. think of the vision of joe biden, that eerie red backdrop, you know, all the evil maga republicans, that was just for a midterm. donald trump wasn't even on the ballot. wait until he is. rachel: doesn't this mean that stuff's not working? pete: well, it's not working in the republican primary. if you add up desantis, ramaswamy and trump which is effectively an america first type group, 77%, 80% of the republican electorate. he's remade the party. they hate what that looks like, and that's why an op-ed in politico caught our eye. it was written by the son of george soros, his name's alex soros. he's taking over for his father. so the open society foundation will now be run by his son who's a 30-something even more ideological left-winger. it's not a very well written

ed -- op-ed, but he did mention donald trump. there he is on the right. here's a quote. as someone who spends up to half their time working on the continent and thinks -- i guess -- will: that's europe, dude. i'm sorry i said, dude, but just real quick, it's the center of the universe for so many people. pete: yeah. will: like, the world pivots on an axis around, i don't know, roughly paris? pete: we'll get back to quote, your exactly right. and thinks former united states president donald trump or at least someone with his isolationist and anti-european politics will be the the republican nominee, i believe maga-style victory could be in the end be worse for the e.u. than the u.s., and such an outcome will undermine the progress achieved on many fronts in response to the war in ukraine. that money is coming on behalf of presumably joe biden, whoever it is, against donald trump. rachel: so in other words, what

you're seeing is that they have a ton of money, as you know, george soros does, and they meddle in all kinds of european countries. they've been in ukraine, they've been kicked out of hungary, famously, he had a university there with where he was stirring the pot and creating all kinds of trouble, and they said you've got to get out, your policies are bad, you're hurting our country. that said, they're laying off a lot of people, but it's not because they're losing money, it's because they're redirecting all of this money, they're overhauling their finances to redirect the the money at donald trump. that's how big of a threat they think he is. will: and to my point, it hasn't even yet begun. rachel: exactly right. will: i don't know if it's my eyes are swollen, but with i did not attend burning man like tens of thousands of others, cultural festival, you know, out -- is it in california? rachel: i think it's california.

will: nevada. rachel: oh, nevada. we're so sold, you -- so old, you guys. will: they've been left stranded by torrential rain. rachel: that doesn't look environmentally friendly, by the way. the shelter in place order comes as authorities investigate a death at the iconic festival is. pete: jackie ibanez joins us with the details. >> reporter: yeah, things aren't look good at all, one death is currently being with investigated, and authorities say the family has been notify by no further details have been begin about circumstances just yet. meanwhile, 73,000 burning man attendees are ordered to shelter in place after trend the, rains reduced the nevada remember viey pit. the camp festival held in dry black rock desert got pummeled by the the hours-long rainstorm friday. the the roads have been closed down until further notice.

the twitter account burning man traffic writing, quote, the gate and airport in and out of black rock city remain closed. no driving is permitted except emergency vehicles. if you are in brc, conserve food and water ask and shelter in a warm space. attendees are hunkering down this morning together including celebrities. video shows diplo and actor chris rock are hitching a ride with other party goers after walking 5 miles in the mud. our own claudia i cowan is at the festival and had this to say. >> the camps are hunkering down, we're supporting each other, we're making sure our neighbors have enough food and water and blankets. and we're still finding fun, just a different kind of fun. it's not so much art, cars and parties, but really connecting with even other, and that's parking lot9 of the burner spirit ooh too. we're going to get through this. it's certainly a burning man to

remember. >> reporter: they certainly will remember that. more rain is in the forecast today, but sunshine is expected to return tomorrow, so let's hope for that. back to you. will: thank you, jackie. rachel: thank you, jackie. i'd like to see what that place looks like after, because i've gone to several democrat protests including the, you know, the one that was right after donald trump was elected when all the women came out and wore their hats in d.c. after his inauguration s and it was so filthy. they just leave a mess every time these democrats have a protest. and so i'm curious, because i bet a lot of these are big environmentalists who are stranded now but will leave all their trash behind as they leave. pete: not on my bucket list. will: sorry, i was distracted by the cover of the new york post. old man and the zs. pete: we're going to get to that. now set a record for the amount of time on vacation. rachel: and he was just asked

why he hasn't been to east palestine, and he says i don't have time. but there you see hill, he's resting. pete: all right. we're going to turn to a few headlines this morning. the convicted murderer who escaped from a pennsylvania prison is spot on home surveillance cameras, seen walking in a wooded residential area. about a mile and a half away from the chester county prison early saturday morning. the escapee is an illegal immigrant who was just sentenced to life in prison for killing his ex-girlfriend in 2021 is. he's also wanted on murder charms in his home country of brazil. no word on how he estate -- escaped. and joe biden touring communities many in florida hit by hurricane idalia. if. >> as i told your governor, if there's anything if your state needs, i'm ready to mobilize that support, anything they need

related to these storms. the nation has your back, and is we'll be with you until the job is done. pete: took his meds. biden also praising senator rick scott after an apparent snub from governor ron desantis who didn't join the visit. the governor instead handing out chick-fil-a to survivors 50 # miles away in ocean beach. fox corporation has made a donation to the red cross hurricane idalia relief efforts. if you'd like to donate, scan the qr code on your screen. and college football connecting off with a bang yesterday, the texas longhorns taking down rice 37-10. will: thank you. pete: should have been more of a w than that. will: i actually agree. pete: quarterback quinn withdrewers with four touchdowns. colorado pulling off a huge upset over tcu45-42.

>> off his back foot, caught, first down and more, down the sideline, top and standard edwards! touchdown, colorado! if. pete: dionne sanders wins his first game as colorado's head coach. the buffaloes hosting rivalling nebraska next week live on fox. we promoted the game all day yesterday, it lived up to it. will: oh, it delivered. it was an amazing game. back and forth, seesaw the entire time. now, let's see if we can do this in a way that i can already see you've checked out. [laughter] finish let me -- so so deion sanders -- rachel: you know what? o.k., okay, okay. will: deion sanders is perhaps the greatest defensive player of all time -- rachel: the player who becomes a coach can. pete: correct. will: and a huge personality. rachel: what is his personality?

will: prime time, neon deion, but over time he's a man of god, and he wears his faith on his sleeve. see, i got her attention now. he decided he wanted to go into to coaching, and he went to a historically back college last year. now he's been hired by colorado who's the worst program in division i, roh was the worst. what you're watching, i think he turned over 80% of the roster -- pete: he got rid of, like, 60 of the roster from haas year and brought in new guys, including his son. rachel: can you doha? will: that's a great question and source of its own controversy. but he did, and he won, it's incredible, it's an upset, and it's an affirmation for deion, and this is what he had to say after the game. rachel: okay, thank you -- >> thank you, jesus. i'm so thankful right now. my son, man --

>> my partner. >> my son, my other son. man, i'm loving these kids. rick george, giving me this opportunity, man, this is a bless aring. everybody, buff nation who supported us and all the hood that had my bark i thank you -- my back, i thank you all. god, this is good! we thought -- will: there you go. rachel: if you actually explain if it to me, i might actually -- i actually the enjoyed. pete: you need a little human interest behind it. rachel: a little context. pete: his son son is the quarterback, threw for 5000 yards, and they beat tcu on the road. rachel: one question, is that normal, to allow your son to be -- it sounds like nepotism. will: clearly not -- rachel: it worked, it was delivered -- pete: i mean, that was some controversy as well. i show up, my son's the qb with.

rachel: a "wall street journal" op-ed calling it aoc's socialist sympathy tour meeting with leftist leaders in latin america during a 3-day rip to brazil, colombia and chile with 10 other congressional democrats and staffers. she said, quote, i believe we owe chile and many aspects of that region an apology. i don't think that apology indicates weakness, i think it indicates a dethe sire to the meet meet our hemispheric partners with respect. here to react, daniellety mar

tee owe r -- daniel demartino. she wants the america to apologize for meddling in latin america, but at this moment china is meddling in latin america, and she's supporting the socialists who are partners with china. in our hemisphere. >> well, i think the only meddlers in latin america right now is china, russia and cuba, and the governments she's supporting are destroying their nations and pushing people the escape. and i think it's just offensive. look, i came from venezuela, and i did it because i love america, but it was destroyed by socialism, and now she's supporting the same governments that are friends with maduro and castro, is and i think it's dangerous to have someone in the american congress like that.

rachel: 100%. the biden administration has done some is very dangerous meddling in latin america, and i would say that is in the election in brazil. so bolls narrow was running against the current president of brazil, lula, and he was pro-america. and our government, along with big with tech the, meddled in that election, bo to lsinaro lost, there were massive protests on the street. >> well, lula is a convicted robber. i mean, he was convictedded the- rachel: a felon, yeah. >> he's one of the biggest robbers in the latin american history, and now he's president also because of the support of biden. biden supported the ex-presidenf colombia who was an ex-ger april that murder orer. i wish aoc if she had gotten

something from this trip that chile today is three times as rich as it was back in 1973 when it was a socialist country. they have school choice, they have fully privatized retirement accounts, they have very low taxes, constitutionally-restrained budget deficits. yes, we do have a lot to learn from chief -- chile, and that is that free markets work. rachel: if our congress delegates are going to take their breaks and go to latin america, what should be their number unone mission given where we are geopolitically right now in. >> yeah, that's a great question. chile is the number one producer of copper which is a key mineral for everything and many other rare minerals. argentina is a country we should be looking at because of the new election that's going to happen in october. and then we really should be building better ties with all of them, right? because 20 years ago america was the number one trade partner in all of latinen america.

today the that country's china. and that's because we stopped paying attention. the problem is not that we meddle many latin america, the problem is that we forgot about latin america. rachel: or we're too busy selling social agenerals -- agendas they don't want where we should be building commerce ties with them and making sure that the chinese aren't buying up ports and, as you said, mines, copper mines, minerals, etc. it's really good to hear. we don't talk enough about what's going on in latinen america, but it is the our hemisphere, and it should matter to americans. i appreciate you coming in so early to remind us of that. >> thank you. rachel: thank you so much. as summer comes to an end, we have the best labor day deals including this a.i. vacuum cleaner by shark. but first, virginia families are flocking to a new christian academy as controversies mount. we're going to talk to the head of the new school who says

i'm orlando and i'm living with hiv. i don't have to worry about daily hiv pills because i switched to every-other-month cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. now when i have people over, hiv pills aren't on my mind. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you're taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. it feels good to just live in the moment. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go.

ask your doctor about cabenuva today. pete: welcome back. it's back to school time, and virginia families are flocking to a new christian school that opened its doors for the first time last week. it promises to be an alternative to the louden and fairfax county schools that face pushback from parents over their progressive agenda. joining us now is the head of school at cornerstone christian academy. doctor, thanks for being here. we've heard so much about schools in fairfax and loudoun county, so you decided to start an alternative, a christian school there. what's the response been? >> well, pete, thank you for having me -- pete: of course. >> it's just been a tremendous response. the pastor of cornerstone chapel made an announcement on february the 6th of '22 that the lord had

put it on his heart to start a christian school to be an alternative. and so here we are two weeks into school, expect response is, again, it's tremendous. we have 545 students. we were actually told it's the largest christian school that has started in history based on acsi, the governing body for christian schools. pete: i know a lot of christian schools, classical christian schools that have 100 or 200 or 300 students for years. it takes a lot of time to build a student body. to have 500 on day one is the reflection of a need. what are parents telling you about having an turn like this? >> yeah. the parents are just ecstatic, the children as a well. parents reached their tipping point, i believe, pete, over covid and then after as they saw

what was being taught to their children, really the indoctrination that was happening. christian families just, they knew that they couldn't stay. their children spend too many hours -- pete: that's what exactly right. >> -- at cool, and so they would have -- at school, and so held have to undo this every night if they were trying to purport christian values to their children. and to have to undo things like that day this and day out, they just reached the point where they just flocked to our school, and we're grateful for it. pete: they ran to it. it's such a relief, i know this as a parent, when you drop your kids off at a school where you know your values aren't challenged, they're reinforced. that's what education should look like. what's your message to other people who are thinking about starting schools or have the same problem in their county? i'm sure it's a challenge, but it's got to be worth it. >> it is a challenge, but there's no question, pete, it's

worth it. when you start to see day in and day out and hear the stories of the students with their teachers, the other day we had a little second grader walking down the hallway stop by the nurse's office, saw another student in there, went in and prayed for this student to get better. [laughter] things like that. parents just sharing with us that it is like might and day compared to what they experienced, that their children are receiving a biblically-grounded education day in and day out, it just, it's important to parents. and they can go to sleep at night feeling like the next day when they send their child to school, they're sending them to a safe and a good places and one that shares their values. pete: so important. and it's generational change for the kids, for the parents. when you get that type of liberating education, everything changes after that. i also want to give a huge hat tip to your pastor for having the courage to stand up and listen to god and say, hey, this

is something we need to do. more pastors and churches could partner and create alternatives for parents as well and students. dr. botta, god bless. >> thank you, pete. god bless you. thank you very much. pete: toss it over to rachel. rachel: nothing more satisfying than knowing you're dropping off at a school that shares your values, that really hit me hard. you're so right. something you shouldn't have to worry about. pete: exactly. rachel: turning now to your headlines, the passenger who went overboard on a roy y'all caribbean ship earlier this week is identified as a 19-year-old american college student. the teen was traveling with his friends on the world's largest ship when he toppled into the waters off the coast of cuba. cuban officials are now searching the and land for the teen after looking in the ocean. the u.s. coast guard mans to conduct an investigation when the vessel returns to american waters. new overnight, the ticketing

[bleep] coming to us. what the [bleep] i tax paying money for concern [bleep] but they will take care of ukraine, $40 billion. we're suffering, all this [bleep] we gotta do on our own. will: as maui residents struggle, white house bundling more funding for ukraine with fema disaster relief which is bound for a stalemate in the house. let's see what their priorities truly are. 95 million to fix electric grids in hawaii and 16 million in humanitarian aid to maui whose residents only got $700 per household or the $43 billion in security aid and $26 the billion in humanitarian aid to ukraine. maui resident sydney koch joins me now. a new appropriation has been made, a new request for money

for fema which would help places like florida who just dealt with a hurricane or, of course, west maui who dealt with that wildfire is being packaged with additional funding for ukraine. how do you feel? >> it's upsetting. it's really upsetting. if so many people hear on maui that need funding and help, basic necessities and ideas of what they're going to do to rebuild their homes. $700 per household, it was a slap in the face to everyone. hawaii, there's multiple families living in one home. we even is have 10, 12 people living in a household, and $79000 is not -- 700 is not going to feed them for a week. but ukraine is getting all of the funding, and none of the money that's coming in is being utilized. we don't see where it's going. it's not going to the people, so it's very upsetting. will: i want to be very explicit

with the audience, so i want to read this directly. the biden administration is planning to request more funds for fema. of course, at that point in reading what i'm sharing with you, i think everyone would say, bravo, with we need more relief. it's another $12 the billion for the rest of this year, but it's being packaged with a request for ooh another $24 billion earmarked for ukraine. 12 billion for america, 24 billion for ukraine. what does that tell you about the priorities of our government? >> oh, we definitely -- it tells me that that they don't care about the hawaiian people. they don't care about what's happened here. we're just put on the back burner yet again. it's about money, it's about the government getting what they can get away with and putting more money back into their pockets. it's not about helping the people here that need the help. will: and i want to ask you this on the way outside, sydney, before we say good-bye.

i know what you've done in the wake of that tragedy and, obvious, in the wake of not just the inability of government or government made it so hard for is citizens in maui to help one another, you guys, you personally, cityny, you and your husband used a family boat, you walked 5 and a half miles. tell me what you did. >> i heard from friends and family who used to work over on the west side, i have a lot of coworkers and friends and family over are there, we were all calling each other to make sure everyone was safe and okay, checking in. and he was pretty shocked to hear that they were not getting any donations. they had water, they had nonper ifish bl food like chips and clothing, but they didn't have anything else. they were hungry, starving and thirsty. there were elders and kids that had nothing, we said, already, or welsh we're going to do

something about that. we went to costco, loaded up what we could and put it on the boat because they had the blockades, there was no way to get in. yeah, we utilized that and got -- and and found barricades on all of the roads and couldn't get it to the people. so we walk it up the roads and made trips back and forth to make sure we could goat it to who needed -- get it to who needed it. a cement block wasn't going to stop us from getting it in, so we just continued. after a few days, the relief would come, somebody would show up and bring the necessities and the things that these people needed over there, but day three, day four, day five came and went and these people were starving and asking for help. so, yeah, i wasn't just the only one, there's so many people here on the island -- will: i know. >> there were so many different relief efforts all over the island just coming to help --

will: it's amazing. i heard that story so many times, sydney, where the government can't, your neighbor does. your neighbor takes boats, walks 5 miles, the government says, yes, i'll help you for 50 cents on the dollar to ukraine. sydney, thank you so much. we appreciate you. >> thank you. appreciate you having me. aloha. will: still night in hawaii, but it's morning here on the east coast. let's turn to the meteorologist rick reichmuth. rick: so you know, a i've cover a lot of natural disasters, and over time people move on, the news is forgotten about, and you are doing great work. thanks for what you're doing for the people in hawaii. one story that, you know, comes in and then kind of supersedes the last one, idalia, still around 40,000 households without power, they're working hard for that. but for the most part, this is no threat for tropical activity. we've got this storm off the coast of africa, and this is the next one we're going to watch, about a 70% chance of this
