rachel: sorry. will: let's do a couple rankings. luke combs or morgan wallen? pete: morgan wallen. the hits just keep, boom -- outlaw. will: second is. i just asked these guys during the commercial break, where do you rank labor day. we did the labor day versus memorial day not in what they signify, in how much enjoyment, ask we all agree memorial day because it's the start of summer, not the end. pete: yeah. will: but do you agree labor day beats the random monday off, not for what they signify, presidents -- montana president no. -- pete: no. i don't like clinging to the end of things. [laughter] will: cath kathleen and i used to do this thing, weekend extension programs, we'd go see a movie on sunday night just to

wring that a last little bit -- rachel: that's such a good idea. will: don't turn sunday into moping around, kick can -- rachel: because monday's starting. will: get the most out of the weekend. la labor day is like the summer extension -- pete: how that not your life, we work on saturday and sunday. i get home at, on sunday, our church is at 3, but after that, it's friday night. sunday night is friday night. will: for us. pete: why are you not on the sunday extension program right now? rachel: because when school starts, you're up at 6 a.m. will: we're alone. the rest of the world getting u- pete: i was talking about you. will: i said we used to do it. pete: president why don't you do it now? will: because we have kids -- pete: you have capable kids who could wake themselves up. [laughter] or maybe i'm making a big

assumption. will: anyway, that's our debate, how do you rank labor day. we hope you enjoy it, tomorrow, your day off. someone who is not enjoying the attention right now, vice president of the united states, kamala harris. franklin ford has a brand new book out called the last politicians coming out soon, and it talks about the way that kamala harris deals with criticism. quote, harris possessed what one of her colleagues described as rabbit ears. whenever there was a hint of criticism of her either in the west wing or in the press, she seemed instantly aware of it. rather than brushing it aside, she wanted to know who was speaking ill of her or and what they were saying. she let the criticism guide her instead of diligently sticking to the central american assignment. she seemed to accept the conventional wisdom about it, it was a futile gig, messing an opportunity to grind her way to a meaningful achievement. i actually don't the know that

distinguishes her from many politicians, many people in the our business, this idea of hearing criticism about yourself and having it be the focus of your attention. rachel: i think one of things that my husband had as a, i think a positive thing that he had coming in that other people didn't was he was used to getting criticism. he had done reality tv before he went into politics, and it kind of like, you just get used to people saying whatever they want to say, and you just don't care. one of the scents of a good politician -- secrets, and donald trump has it in spades, ron desantis also in some regards, vivek, i think, is also showing a good sign of it, you have to have the armor where things just roll off of you. if you take everything personally, it's going to start to seep in, it will start to lower your confidence which is a problem. but more importantly, you might start losing your compass of where you start wanting to just please people instead of doing what you think is right. will: yes. rachel: obviously, that's something -- pete: what if your compass has

been achieving that next higher office time and time again, which it has been for harris? now you're the vice president of the united states. why would you start working hard now on a really difficult assignment? and then when you start getting the criticism, you're right, it starts to become how you identify. if speaking of another aspect of the job she wants and the types of people she wanted surrounding her, franklin foer wrote about her and her relationship with ron klain. ron klain struggled to productively help her. he toll him that he didn't want to work on women's issues or anything to do with race. he wanted her office to be majority female and to have a black woman as chief of staff. she was creating too many rules, and they made it hard for her to find her footing. rachel: so she didn't want to work on race even though that's kind of how she got that job? pete: and isn't she the champion

of women's to issues? what if i walked in and said, no, i want my chief of staff to be work and everyone who works for me to be men? [laughter] rachel: you'd be fired. pete: yeah. that that's the eleven that we see the most -- the lens that we see the most significant job you've ever had not the most qualified person you can find for me? will: my suspicion, pete, your inclination maher moral compass has been achieving the next highest office is what you're seeing in what you just read. yeah, race and gender got her where she is, but now she's ready for what is next. pete: doesn't want to be defined by it. will: correct. i immediate the big jobs. i don't want to be focused on marginal issues. held probably be very pleased to be tasked with ukraine. she would like to make her case for why she should be the next president of the united states -- rachel: she's in charge of -- will: -- taking the central issues, not the side issues. rachel: i think it was interesting, yesterday tom

shillue was on "the big saturday show," and he said she doesn't really know her strengths and weaknesses. and so one of the things she does is she goes off and she likes to -- she thinks she's really good at just talking off the cuff when she should actually be reading the script, and that's when she's gotten -- i thought that was a really interesting comment. he said looked at vice president, really boring guy, trying to come in and light up the room, probably wasn't going to work for him, so he just read the script given to him by probably -- [laughter] will: she tries to turn every speech into open a rah. rachel: yeah. she wants to be oprah and ellen and that talk show host, but that's not her strength. and she should just rye and be the -- try and be a good vice president. pete: this book, i've got to believe it doesn't say much about, you know, the big guy's work habitsover mental acuity.

i mean, that'll be the real book with when someone writes what are they doing in the west wing to protect this guy. will: no doubt. speaking of that issue that she was tasked with, central america and the issue of illegal immigration, we might be actually areeving at the point where -- arriving at the point where you can start to see the need for something to happen, and that is when the crisis hits here, literally, new york city, sanctuary cities. first of all, here's where we are, 177 arrests by border patrol between ports of entry in august. but as we mentioned yesterday, not until places like new york and san francisco start to buckle under the weight of their own policies will you see something maybe change. and this from anonymous nypd officer suggests we might be getting there. he writes in "the new york post," we've been wreaking havoc. this is not an isolated cement. these migrants are are getting arrested quite often here, and we really don't know who they are. they're not being vetted properly, but some of them are committing the most violent

climbs here. pete: lee talking about an illegal immigrant in new york city who's been arrested 6 times for 14 crimes in just 2 months. 6 times, 14 crimes, 2 months, not deported. another illegal immigrant woman was arrested for slapping a cop. so the criminality, the till legal -- the illegality, let's let cur. curtis: dissliwa say it. he was on cavuto yesterday. take a listen. >> eric adams said you're a racist, we can do it better. we're a sanctuary city. we'll give them playstations, 7 2-inch plasma tvs, obama phones, three squares a day, three-star hotel rooms. once they saw that in third world countries, they made a bum rush right to the border. he wants to give jobs to the illegal aliens right out of the box. none of them are vaccinated. and i'm thinking to myself, these brave civiller is

haven'ts -- servants, some of them became zeros after being heroes because they wouldn't take the vaccine seen. you know, if you happen to be an american citizen, even a moderate democrat, you're saying, what has happens to our party? we've become the party of the illegals, and the republicans wail are using a lot of common sense in this issue. it may well be the ticket, the pathway to majorities. rachel: it's so interesting, i think that this idea of all the chaos coming, as you said, will, to the city, to new york city, to chicago, it's starting to backfire on the democrats. you're seeing aoc, somebody who was 100% behind the biden policy now going i'm not so happy with this policy. why? because her constituents are seeing this as well. they're seeing their services being strained, their schools being crowded by kids who aren't will be, a as they said, vaccinated and don't speak english and are taking up

resources that should be going to american children. this is a big problem for the democrats now because i don't with see how they turn back from it. pete: and these cities are experiencing just a fraction of what border states -- rachel: yes. pete: just a tiny, tiny factor. but the more you give away, the more you're going to incentivize. it's really basic stuff, folks. wellwomen i'm -- will: i'm tempted to say next piece of sound is frightening -- pete: do you have to hear it in. will:ing it's only frightening in the frame of a one-hit wonder playing that hit one more time, especially when it was a fraud, especially something like milli vanilli -- [laughter] if they came out and played blame it on the rain one more time the, how would you feel? maybe something like this. >> i would hope that if, in fact, we get to the point where the volume of cases is such and organizations like the cdc recommendation recommend -- cdc doesn't mandate anything. i mean, recommends that people

wear masks, i would hope that they a abide by the recommendation and take into account the risk to themselves. to you look at a situation as an individual protecting themselves or protecting them from spreading it, there's no doubt that masks work. different studies give different percentages of advantage of wearing it, but there's no doubt that the weight of the studies and there have been many studieds indicate the benefit of wearing masks. when you're talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong. will: blame it on the indiana. [laughter] pete: the the banner there read will america conform if -- rachel: comply? pete: the answer is no. rachel: i hope so. pete: because that clip could have been played in 2021. rachel: i was wail looking to

see -- pete: that was yesterday. rachel: this was part of the problem, because he was never sufficiently having to be accountable for what he did to this country. now he's going around touring, lying, saying that he didn't say these things, he just made a recommendation, he didn't cause the the lockdown, cdc just, you know, really backing away from a lot of it. pete: giving speeches. rachel: and he's getting, at medical conferences, and he's treated like he's a god with. he's he's like a rock star, he is milli vanilli in these conferences, and he is, you know, he's maine going to be held accountable because the elites in his profession still think he is a god. will: i saw this guy make a post on the social media the other day saying, you know, in the first go around with this, hosts and has the he's es and waiters, we were deferential because we understood they were just doing their job, and everybody wanted to be civil and be a polite member of society. so when an airline attendant or

whoever said put mask on, most people did it out of the desire to socially not fall in and be a sheep -- the. pete: we don't want to cheat the little guy. it's not their fault. will: he said not this tame. time we all know, is so you're just enforcing something that's so clear arely fraudulent that we can't really let niceties get in the way. rachel: i think it's going to be interesting to see how this not conforming unfolds. like, what do you do, is so is it going to be boycotts, so if the store requires you to have a mask, so everybody goes i'm going to boycott so hay feel the pain, kind of bud light style because they're requiring their employees or customers -- pete: the inflection point will be schools, airports, you know, the places where you have to go. will: where you done have options. all right, turning now to your head laurens, jimmy buffett's cause of death has been revealed, the two-time grammy

murder charges in his home country of bra.. -- bra. brazil. what's youraway of this escape of a convicted murder? >> yeah. this is really what i call the perfect storm of everything that can go wrong went wrong. first of all, this individual is extremely comfortable with violence, crime and murder can can makes him so is dangerous. also he was just recently sentenced to life behind bars which is a great impetus for people to take opportunities -- pete: nothing to lose. >> and so he just takes opportunity and seizes it. and when it's a leadership change, it's infrastructure, manpower issues, whatever it is, he took that opportunity and ran with it. pete: so, why -- first of all, what do we know about prison? how does one like this escape? >> we just had another escape in pennsylvania, and i looked at the stats on this, and they're pretty clear. in the past couple years prison

breaks have gone own down, but again, i think a combination of all those things coming together made it an opportunity, and he seized that opportunity because he is resourceful. he's spent a lifetime in a gang and doing all these violent actions. and i think the change in leadership when hose things filter down and you know being in the army when leadership at the top is in flux, things kind of go chaotic. the last warden was put on admin leave, they had an acting warden, hen if you'ring having issues with manpower, infrastructure, these things can happen. pete: there have been issues of overcrowding as well. this criminal doesn't speak english either, and you heard the authorities say they believe he's within 1-2 miles, do you -- i mean, how dangerous is this for the people living in that area, and what do you think the chances are of him actually being recaptured? >> extremely dangerous in the area. and you mentioned the language issue. it's interesting because when people don't have english or the native speaking language are as they're first language, they

become even more attuned to their environment and looking for opportunities through nonverbal cues both through individuals that they can victimize and organizations and institutions like he did. the arc of violence in his life makes him this dangerous and also being labor day weekend and people being possibly away from their homes make opportunities for him. so those are really critical things for people to do. when you're going back to your home, hi it's really important -- i think it's really important for people to take great assessment of the outside of their homes first. pete: yeah. be prepare to defend yourself. robin, thank you very much for the update. it's a scary scenario. >> absolutely. thanks, pete. pete: hope the authorities find him soon. all right, coming up, the tip of the controversy. climate activists outraged after martha the stewart puts a little, teeny iceberg in her tock kale. rachel has -- cocktail. rachel has the full story in her pop culture round-up. but first, a minute knife

honest. i know they're utilitarian, but take a look at these things, these are amazing. >> yeah. that's a custom push digger that i made some years back. 18 carat-gold pins, all hand-carved, hand forged, and transitioned it into making knives on more of a production scale. i just saw that, basically, the knives i was seeing in the stores were not as quality as they could be especially with everything coming from overseas, so i started mkc. rachel: we do a lot of cooking on this show, a lot of people that watch our show love to cook. tell us about these fives. >> our culinary knives, one of the best chef's knife makers mt. country helped us design those, and they've just been spreading across the world, quite honestly. again, the that american made quality, that steel's made right here in new york so -- pete: careful. rachel might leave with those. rachel: i know. pete: can you show us how you do

this? i know it's a little loud -- >> yeah. pick up a blade and -- [background sounds] just like that. so, yeah, you can stand there and grind. that's how i did the custom stuff since i was just a kid. pete: is that how all these, most of these knives were -- >> now we have big machines that grind those on production scales to produce hundreds and thousands of them. we have a machine that that does that on more of a production scale. but i do all of the prototyping of these by hand just like this on a grinder in my shop until we get them right. will: to be clear, this is your american dream, and this is all made in america. >> absolutely, yeah. it's just something that i dreamt about, i actually registered the name montana knife company when i was 19, but i didn't with launched -- launch it until i was 39.

rachel: all right.

well, this is a new op-ed on fox news digital.com, go to our web site for that, talking about how what a terrible month joe bidens' had. they call it the terrible, horrible month. so we thought we'd break it down so you could see just how bad this month of august -- pete: that's right. fox news opinion, joe biden's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad month. and when you look at it, pretty spot on. will: the timeline starting on august 1st, polls show half of democratic primary voters to don't want joe biden to be the primary nominee for the party. pete: yeah. that's a rough place to start. and i believe we have that poll we can put up of that party preferences. so you start out, you know, you're moving into a -- you've launched your reelection campaign, you're the sitting president, you're trying to sell bidenomics, and ask most people in your own party want somebody else. rachel: and then on august ifrd devon archer, who worked with hunter biden, his testimony was released. and we mow that was pretty damning because it brought joe biden closer to the problem with

hunter biden. so that's been sort of looming over the month as well. of. pete: really hard to try to not have him testify. they saw that coming, didn't want any part of it. will: yeah. august 10th biden back pedals on the inflation reduction act. it was sold as something that would reduce inflation. we all knew at the time it was actually a climate bill. and then on august 10th we start to get a little bit president of truth about how it was sold and its effect. this is a flashback to july of 2022. >> the fact is that my message to congress is this: this is the strongest bill you can pass to lower inflation, cut the deficit, reduce health care costs, tackle the climate crisis ask promote energy security -- and promote energy security all the time while reducing the burdens facing working class and middle class families, so pass it. pete: of course, it hasn't done thinking for inflation, and he

finally had to admit it here last month, saying this via the press pool: i wish i hadn't called it that. [laughter] it has less to do with reducing inflation than it does providing for alternatives that general rate economic growth and so we're now in a situation where if you take a look at what we're doing with the inflation reduction act, we're literally reducing the cost of people being able to meet their basic needs even when there's inflation. there's a way to provide -- rachel: blah, blah, blah, blah. the point is, the media helped them sell that. people were being crushed by inflation, so they wanted an inflation reduction bill. they sold it as that, but it was actually about enriching their climate donors. will: one day later, on august # 11th, a special counsel is appointed to investigate hunter e biden. pete: that was both a good thing and a bad thing, right? in that it was bad because it showed renewed scrutiny after the plea deal fell apart for hunter biden, they appointed a special counsel. it also welcome back used to slow walk this thing by saying we don't want to give you

information because it's turned investigation and, oh, by the way, we're putting david weiss in charm of it. rachel: right. and is pretty much a biden friend, if you will. he's been protecting the bidens for a long time in their home state. then we move to august 17th and new polls come out saying americans, guess what? aren't buying bidenomics. here's the poll, 25% say it's better -- 52 say the economy is worse. pete: that's a steep decline if you look at the comparison from 2021 is. that's a big part of your premise for why you should try to be reelected and those numbers are going that way, that's not a good sign for you. will: and then on august 2 1st, almost a full two weeks after fires destroyed lahaina in maui, joe biden finally visits maui. the fires were on augustingth -- 8th. going there, well, that's part of what all hope to do to empathize with people who have just been through a horrific tragedy. what you wouldn't want to do is

compare it to a kitchen fire. watch. >> i don't want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense, jill and i, what it's like to lose a home. i almost lost my wife, my '67 or corvette and my cat. rachel: perhaps the worst part was he talked about his car and huh worried -- it was so bad. will: he's doubled down. he said the same story in the past week. pete: yeah. obviously, it was a terrible event for hawaii, but by the time you get there, it should not be part of a bad august for joe. you should be able to go with -- remember he was the empathizer in chief, back to new normal, things are going to work again? not so much. rachel: and, by the way, this will keep coming back. people are looking at the kind of federal relief that maui's getting compared to the kind of money -- the. will: because they've been packaged together. request for additional relief not just for maw maui, but

florida, has been packaged together with more funding for ukraine. pete: and speaking of ukraine, to put a cherry on top of the month, our own brian kilmeade had an interview with viktor shokin, the prosecutor fired many ukraine at the behest of joe biden because his, well, his son was on the board of burisma there, and they were having problems. here's viktor shokin talking about that relationship. >> translator: i have no doubt that there were illegal activities engaged in by burisma. matter of fact, the criminal case started before me. it continued to expand, and poll chef sky, who at the time held the post as founder and was the ceo of burisma, started to bring in people provide pex for him. hunter biden was among them. pete: yeah. we'll see what september brings. could bring an impeachment define -- inquiry. will: throughout the entirety of these events, the best image for joe biden might have been him laying on the beach. in the next hour we're going to

look at the vacations and the disasters unfolded while he was at the beach. pete: there's a lot of material there. he's setting records. will: coming up, 13 feet, 920 the pounds. the giant gator, a 3-person team in florida caught, we're going to talk to one of the hunters. rachel: but first, the bidens distance themselves from harry and meghan. martha stewart's controversial cocktails and increasingly difficult dating standards.

♪ rachel: all right, it's time for another pop culture round-up. this time new york post columnist ricky and i will touch on the latest and the greatest in all the hollywood drama. starting off, how the white house is trying to save face with the royals by detach thing themselves from prince harry and meghan markel with first lady jill biden who, by the way, her and harry were pretty close at one time, she's now saying i'm not going to go to the invictus games for the second year in a row. what does this tell you? >> i think that, absolutely, she's saving face with the british royal family. i end mean, meghan and harry have snubbed their own family

time and again. meghan's approval rating is about 1 in 3 americans, so i think she's right to distance herself. she's going to be speaking to 60 wounded veterans when will be participating in the games itself which i think is a much better use of our first lady's time. rachel: do you think the royal family has set up this binary where you're either team royal, or you're team harry and meghan k and you're not going to be invited to our fancy events if you do anything with them? >> that's what i think harry and meghan did. they've so incendiary, i would say. rachel: she's a fair weather friend, i guess. no regrets, so barbara walters, it's been revealed her final words on her death bed were no regrets. that's eightup months after he passed away. what do you think of that? >> i think that's a sentiment that we could all hope one day to be able to say. the full thing was i had a great life, i a have no regrets. i quo her a debt of yacht

tuesday. rachel: i got my start on television with barbara walters, but i'm also with sophia with loren right there. always considered it an honor to have worked with her and here at this network with maria bartiromo who's our own kind of icon at the network. fun times with her and, boy, she lived a life and trails, a lot of roads for women in broadcasting, amazing stuff. all right, martha stewart is responding to a lot of backlash. is so she's on this trip to greenland, it's like a boat tour, whatever, and she chips off a piece of, what, a glacier or something? >> i think they captured a very small iceberg in order to kohl their drinks, apparently, which she would have to have a lot of drinks to meaningfully impact climate change. rachel: he took a picture of it, he instagrams a lot. she has a gael great account, and i guess they do this for the fancy rich people, here's your cocktail with a little bit of this iceberg in it and, boy, she's gotten backlash, fair? >> not so fair.

experts say this is negligible, i think it's at lot of selective outrage, to say the least. if you want to point fingers at someone, finish be harry and meg a hand who was jetting around on their privacy jets but lek -- lecturing us at the same time. rachel: good point. now there's this influencer out there, and now she's saying whenever she goes on her first date can, the first thing she wants to do is check out the bank account. do we have the clip of that? okay. listen to what she has to say. this is her dating add advice. >> the last three dudes i've decaded for their bank account enfoe on the first date. i have a job, i'm very successful, is so i think i have every [bleep] right to be, like, hi, are we on the same level or am i wasting my time? rachel: okay. this would seem like it would repel a lot of men, but apparently it's working for this woman, sophia? >> she says she's done it with the last three men she's dated. i'm shocked she could get three

men to date her with this attitude. this is disgusting. [laughter] but i think dating has become so transactional, this is kind of par for the case in today's day and age. she's doing the men a favor by saying here are my true colors -- rachel: yeah. there's something -- actually, i think it's really important to be up front with all your stuff, your politics, everything, just get it all out there. now we know she's super greedy. maybe there's guys like that. what's the reaction online? >> people are absolutely outraged, although there are some people saying, oh, more power to her. i'm certainly in the outraged. rachel: doesn't surprise me they're trying to wrap it up -- i don't recommend this. >> nor do it -- nor do i. rachel: so great having you on, thanks so much. coming up, trump dominating the gop field. the latest polls that spell trouble for everybody's else in the field. stay with us.
