>> pete: good morning. it's labor day and we hope you are not laboring at home. we have a good old crowd here at the nashville underground in nashville, tennessee. it's 5:00 a.m. central time. on labor day. [cheers and applause] >> pete: the line was out the door. folks pumped. they are waking me up because it's an early morning here on "fox & friends." thank you all for being here. it's great to see you. we are at the nashville underground on broadway on the strip here in nashville, tennessee. and the only thing missing, guys, is griff jenkins and the doctor. the doctor is in the house, dr. nicole saphier. good to see you two on remote. hope you have a wonderful labor day weekend looking forward to hosting three hours with you guys. >> nicole: we do miss having you here on the couch. it's great seeing you there with all the energy behind you. wish we were there. >> griff: who knew that crowd loved belinda carlisle. that crowd loves it.

please tell them we wish they were all with us here, pete. >> pete: oh, indeed. i will. i will pass that along. you will meet some of these fine folks. some drove many hours. some were partying and just found their way in the line. we might have some pretty interesting answers here later on in the program. >> nicole: looking forward to those. >> pete: it will be interesting. monday, what is it september 4th or september 5th i don't know i lost track. >> nicole: it is the fourth. the day after my baby's birthday. my youngest turned 9 years old yesterday, that is the only way i know the date. give. >> griff: thank yhappy birthday. >> nicole: thank you very much. >> pete: new polling puts a former presidential rematch between president trump and joe biden in a dead heat. >> nicole: biden's briggographer said it wouldn't be a total shock if the president decided not to run again.

>> griff: kevin corke joins us with the latest details. happy labor day. >> maybe we ought to open up nashville bureau. just volunteering. putting that out there. not a bad idea. politicos here in washington suggests the buying yeafer is saying the quiet part out loud. despite all his legal travails former president trump is still very popular and he has, in fact, pulled even with president biden in recent polling. and given what we know about polling, you know, they tend to skew democratic, dead even, like we see here in the latest "wall street journal" poll could mean the democrat is behind. and that will no doubt set off alarm bells inside the biden campaign. the former president continues to absolutely dominate the g.o.p. competition, according to that very same survey. just take a look at the lead. just for perspective, and you know, i do this for a living in washington, griff are, you know i covered four administrations. a 5 point lead is usually

noteworthy a 10 point lead means the competition is usually, you know, doa. look at the trump lead. barring some outside factor, that lead appears insurmountable which, of course, begs the question, will joe biden, who is 80, be there when the ballots are all counted and from the democrats' perspective maybe a better question should he be? >> one of his primary insecurities is he doesn't want to be perceived as stupid because he had this plagiarism scandal back in the 1980s, so when he walks into an interview, or he walks into a press conference, he wants to -- he wants to have mastery of what is he discussing. at the end of this calendar year joe biden announces he is not going to seek a second term, based on all your reporting, how much of that surprise would it be. >> it would be a surprise to me but it wouldn't be a total surprise. >> wouldn't be a total shock. >> it wouldn't be a total shock. >> not a total surprise nor a shock. now, the white house continues to insist president biden will

be the nominee for the democrats. he will be there but, what they didn't say is this: if he is the nominee and for whatever reason decides to drop out, say he doesn't make it all the way to november 2024, we are looking at a possible kamala trump matchup. that's a matchup the democrats definitely do not want. guys, back to you. >> griff: a lot to consider there kevin corke in d.c. kevin, thank you very much. it's fascinating pete and nicole about this poll. it's as if you were a bear i suppose and went into a cave and hibernated the day before the election in 2020 and came out yesterday, oh, nothing changed. here you have got this head-to-head between biden and trump but yet, you wonder what is it about that? is it that trump is gaining so much? excuse me, or is it that biden is lacking in really appealing to his own voters? does this mean that trump is going to continue to rise and will biden be able to catch up

and get ahead? >> nicole: you know, griff and pete, one thing we have seen is president trump has continued to rise, one thing i found interesting from the "wall street journal" poll, so they polled 600 republican primary voters and over 60% insisted that the multiple criminal charges were politically motivated and lacked merit. so this is something that the democrats need to pay attention to as they continue to put forth these indictments and spend all of their efforts on the criminal charges against president trump. perhaps what americans want to see right now are focusing on americans. and the issues american care about, the economy, the border, national security, and other -- the kitchen table topics. >> yeah. well, and topics that joe biden hasn't delivered on on the economy on national security, on afghanistan. on the border. he is attempting to sell bidenomics but people aren't buying it. i think there will be a shift like you saw in 2020 toward the evil, ultra maga republicans and characterization of donald

trump. these numbers are staggering. any way you put it. considering where we were in 2020, considering what happened since then. four indictments. and one of the numbers i want to point to on that screen is the undecided number. in april, 13% of republicans were undecided. now it's 4%. where do those undecideds go. they didn't go desantis he has gone under water. they have gone to donald trump and maybe other candidates. he has consolidated support since april has his legal calendar has filled up and people see through that as attacking of political opponent. nobody saw a 60% number for donald trump at the end -- 60% washington, d.c. that's a staggering number. especially considering the other former vice president in a field. a popular governor of florida in that field. a former u.n. ambassador, multiple senators in that field. no one is even coming close right now. and consider how national polls work, griff, that 46, 46

probably means a lead for trump and even better for him in many battle ground states. it's a fascinating time. brief. >> griff: it is, pete. i'm not sure that the mainstream media agrees with you, we put together a little montage here of their reaction. take a listen. >> it is kind of shocking in a way that despite all of the baggage that donald trump carries is he tied with joe biden right now. >> it's an alarm bell for democrats who think that because of these indictments is he going to lose a democratic election. it's a very competitive race, 46% to 46%. we can't be certain about polls this far out. suggests this is not in any way the gimme for the democrats despite former president trump's legal troubles. >> people were somewhat hopeful that we would be in a different place by now. and now they are starting to come to the realization we might have donald trump as the nominee

and joe biden in the nominee. this is something 70% of the america does not want. man with four indictments and he is still tied with joe biden in this poll. larry, whether a could you makef that? >> well, biden has work to do. >> pete: sure does. come straight to me. got it. that was a clip of the mainstream media how in the world joe biden could be tied donald trump at this point. let's talk to. so folks in nashville, tennessee. good morning, where are you from. >> bill young, lebanon, just a few miles east of here. >> pete: got it. thanks for coming out. when you see this "wall street journal" poll 46-46 trump-biden at this point. what do you make of all that's been done to trump where joe biden is and where we are in that race? >> i think they are fudging some

numbers, very possibly. i can't see anyone being pro-biden. i just don't understand it. >> peter: so you think trump has got even more support than that? >> i think so. i will vote for whoever the republican is. it doesn't have to be donald trump. but i'm good with trump. >> pete: ma'am, how about you? >> i think the nominee will be trump. and i don't believe those numbers. i just can't see 46% saying they will vote for biden. who did they poll? being. >> pete: that's a good question. i don't think they are polling in here. sir, you had a little bit of a drive to get here, right? >> yeah we drove up from gulf breeze, florida just to be here. >> pete: thanks for being here. thank you very much. >> pete: you saw the polling numbers the lead in the republican primary, why can't the media understand the popularity of donald trump? >> i don't think it's that they can't, i think they don't want to. it's pretty obvious. i mean even from the last election, i mean, it was nearly

a tie. biden won by a small margin and i think after three years of watching biden work, things are going to change a little. >> pete: the nation has checked his homework. incomplete would be generous at this point. we have a lot of other folks who are eager to talk that we will talk to this morning. interesting, not a lot of trust in those numbers. polls are just a snapshot in time. we will keep talking to folks in nashville, tennessee. send it back to you, griff. >> that's great. we love those folks nashville on labor day.

had bill maher on and they had a really interesting conversation about gender affirming care. take a listened will woke gender affirmative care. >> body positivity. >> like someoning you hugging you. >> orwellian, yeah my school all the kids want to be trans. it's just not cool to be straight anymore. >> right. >> every generation has to find a way to say to their parents who gave you everything, [bleep] you. whatever you do, i'm going to do different. for kids now that's just gender. my stupid lame parents think that humans are male and female, gross. i'm fluid. okay. but, like you say, you know, when you get a little older and you have mutilated your body, maybe that will be a decision you are happy with.

but maybe it won't. but there is no going back. >> nicole: you know pete and griff, what i find interesting the conversations turned kind of orwellian, dystopian future of complete totalitarian. when you say something whether it's based in fact or not that has to be the truth and you are not able to counter it. as the mother of three boys, i find it very disheartening to hear these conversations going about permanent, you know, medical interventions whether it's, you know, with medicines, whether it's with surgeries. all happening before these kids even have a fully formed brain. so if you want to have these conversations about, you know, wanting to identify as a different gender, you can have that conversation as a matured adult who has actually, their brain has actually finished forming. when it comes to children, parents still need to be and they have a right to be part of this conversation, and it really floors me that if you speak out against it, or say anything to even question, you know, what we're doing as a society, you

are automatically being shot down. >> pete: yeah, you are right, great point. it is a big differently kids, our most precious asset -- the only thing we leave behind. and we were all kids. and we were all confused and we were all idiots and we didn't know what we were doing. we weren't allowed to smoke. and we weren't after loued to drink and gamble and get tattoos. and so we're allowed to change our gender when we're 11 or 12 or 1 and then they experts call it gender affirming care like some teddy bear we should wrap our arms around firm everybody's latest impulse of what a 12 or 13-year-old watch? to watch joe rogan who is is inherently mostly nonpolitical and bill maher who is a leftist talk about this and mock it, it opens the door for a real conversation about we have lost our 90's at this moment.

we are not telling parents at school boards that their kids are transitioning? it's a good sign because that shows that we have jumped the shark several parental rights if a parent discount agree to fund some of these happens. the fact that you have policymakers say you don't have rights as parents if you don't allow your child switch genders. i can't believe it. >> griff: it starts in the home, because if my daughter, either of my daughters when they were 11 or 12 would have said, you know, i think i might be a man, i would say no, you're not. and we have laws. you have to be 18 to vote. you have to be 18 to buy cigarettes. so you really at this point maybe need a federal law that says you have got to be 18 before you can even consider something as serious and permanent as bill maher pointed out gender surgery. >> pete: that's what states are cooking. >> griff: i think it's very fascinating. you bring up a good point, pete.

maybe the pendulum is swinging back. maybe we are able to take a look nationally under the microscope at this situation and say whoa, whoa, whoa. pump the breaks. this isn't okay. >> griff: a lot more to that coming up. go ahead. pete. >> pete: no. i'm good. take it away. >> pete: you are good in the diner nashville underground with the great viewers up on this labor day. >> pete: indeed. >> griff: squatters destroying a hotel. looks like third world country. you are looking at it there. the millions it will take to fix that up. >> nicole: give me a break that was reportedly biden's reaction as chaos unraveled during the are w. withdrawal from afghanistan. more from inside his frustrating response coming up. e final game. this one wins the series.] struck out with the cheap seats? ♪ings

to say i just think the leadership has been horrible from this administration. >> pete: how much does it just jar you zero accountability for any of that. >> absolutely zero accountability. so frustrating. yourself as a more recent soldier or in the military, i never thought i would deal with what vietnam veterans felt with the abandonment. i never understood but now i have seen that they have come out and they have supported our generation of warriors and we have a lot in common with leaving and abandoning afghanistan. horrible. >> pete: full disclosure here. i have gotten to know dan who lives in the nashville area. and he has a cool job. is he a body guard for kid rock, pretty cool. keeps him busy. but he is also a former green beret and wrote a book called the asset mindset. explain to me what the book is about. you have got -- you have been through a lot of stuff. off level head and you are sharing it with others. what is the asset mindset. >> special forces for achieving

controversy this weekend crilgt hectic schedule when questioned about not visiting east palestine which is still suffering from the effects of a toxic train derailment that occurred seven months ago. here to react. we have ohio resident d.j., corey miller and jamie wallace. good morning, guys. thank you for joining me this early. courtney, i want to start with you. what has it been like for you and your two little ones since this catastrophic train derailment seven months ago? >> i still have yet to take my kids into east palestine. still fearful of what it's going to cause. i have seen so many other children. i mean, most of us have all ended up sick. i just haven't let my kids step foot there since the derailment. >> nicole: you guys have been living in a hotel since the derailment? >> yeah. i have been staying at the davis motel for months now just because i was going back and forth between my parent's house and friend's houses. i you u.s. just still don't feel

comfortable and i don't want to take my kids into something that obviously biden doesn't even want to show up there is obviously some reason as to why he is not coming. >> >> nicole: d.j., interesting that the president said while he was in florida that his hectic schedule he has been too busy to come travel to ohio yet according to the "new york post," 40% of biden's presidency has been actually spent away from the white house not working but on vacation. how does that make you feel? >> i guess it's tough, right, to be on vacation all that time and be that busy i don't think any american actively wants to root against the president. that's like rooting against your favorite football team because you don't like the quarterback. at some point you got to understand if you are not reading the playbook that a change has to be made. this guy has actively not shown any compassion or moral value to anything, emotionally, physically he hasn't shown up. and there has been no help for

us economically or with our residents. it's really frustrating to see him go and say he is too busy for people that literally put him in the office. >> d.j., the president has said that he is making sure that ohio is getting all the materials that they require, but you make an interesting point that while, you know, fund something one thing, you want to feel that the president is there for you on a different level, a compassionate level and you don't feel you have gotten that from president biden? >> not at all. he is the leader of the free world. you want to feel like is he on the same team as you are. there has been no economic, again, no economic help for us. there has been no plan for our residents to help the ones that want to leave or help the ones that want to stay. it's been a really trying time for our village and we are small town america. >> nicole: jamie you are the council. right after the gate you saw lot

of bipartisan support for legislation to see this isn't going to happen again. they came up with the railroad safety bill in part proposed by j.d. vance, but it kind of come to stand still. what do you want to see happen? >> i just want to see federal support come in to east palestine. everyone is focused on the economic recovery, the businesses, putting in a new park but nobody is focused on the residents. we are here, we are still sick. we do have unmet needs. we need to have representation at this hearing that's coming up in east palestine when our politicians they come in they meet with very cherry picked groupings of the community. and it's not representative of most of us that are still suffering, still in hotels, still relocated. i don't care. this is not a red issue, it's not a blue issue. this is an issue of human lives and it can happen to every single person watching this that

has a railroad track within 30 miles. you know, this is about human lives. at this point, i don't even care if biden comes. he has already insulted us. if he comes now, it will only be because he feels forced to come, which is not going to be genuine. just get us federal support. get us help. we are not okay. >> nicole: well, certainly, hopefully, the bipartisan bill can move forward that not only provides support for east palestine but also can help ensure that these sort of derailments don't happen again in the future. obviously we need secretary pete buttigieg, transportation secretary to get on board as well. thank you, d.j., courtney and jamie. all of our best to you and i only hope that continuing to bring attention to east palestine will get you the help and support that you need. >> thank you, god bless. >> you thank you so much. >> thank you. >> nicole: griff? >> griff: great conversation, dr. saphier with that panel
