there we go! will: that is chris janson with the title song off the new album, outlaw side of me, right here on the floor, in the living room, "fox & friends" on this saturday morning. that was awesome, guys. thank you, chris. pete: very well done. rachel: well done. pete: front row seat right here. personal concert. rachel: i was just going to say, we don't have to go to new hampshire. pete: no. but you can, catch him on tour, all -- i don't know, how many weeks, months? how long are you on tour? >> [inaudible] pete: all year. and from what i understand, it is a heck of a show. you know, some people just sing, and then there are shows. and this guy -- rachel: it's a show. and he's a great guy. will: he really is. thank you, guys, for the personal concert. make sure you check them out for your own version of that concert: the fox flight crew giving us a bird's eye view over eagle pass, texas, a city overwhelmed by the latest surge of illegal

immigrants. rachel: later today homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas is set to visit mcallen, texas, where he will meet with the president of honduras. pete: griff jenkins is live in eagle pass with the latest. griff, how you doing? >> reporter: hey, pete, rachel, or will, good morning. well, it's been a busy morning again, and there are no signs of things slowing down. let me just take you right back to our drone in the sky, our fox flight team. what you're looking at is a group of migrants being taken and processed under the bridge, but yet tame it's -- at the same time it's a small group that is part of an ongoing stream. the officialses here tell me that the group that crossed earlier this morning you're looking at, more coming down the river bank, this is about a 5-600 migrant group that's slowly coming in small groups coming across. of course, they have to navigate that barbed wire. most from venezuela, some from colombia, but it is literal

literally a conveyor belt of migrants. you're looking at them walking litterly -- literally right up behind me. you're going to see them walking into our live shot right where we are. this is all a part of what's been happening for the better part of a week across the entire southwest border, guys. it's been upwards of 10,000 migrants. here yesterday there were 9,965. those numbers fluctuate. it's hovered around 10,000. and i don't want to go to full screen yet because i want to keep showing you this. this is the reality of the humanitarian crisis. these are migrants who, even though you got that dense, dangerous barbed wire lining miles of the rio grande here, they are going through it because they're determined to get where they know this administration favors catch and release, and so they will ultimately be given a notice to appear and a court date far away from now and are likely, highly

unlikely to show up for that. i do want to show you though one quick full screen, and that is the august numbers that we received. a august that has never had these kind of numbers. 232,972, bringing the fiscal year to date, 2,2026,000. our sources tell us they've already surpassed last year's numbers. but yet despite what you're seeing, despite the group we just showed you, despite the 10,000 a day, the white house won't talk about it. here was an an exchange with karine jean-pierre and our peter doocy. watch. >> reporter: what do you call it when 10,000 people illegally crosses the border in a single day? >> we are dealing with a broken system. and no action was taken from congress, and so what the president was able to do, he imposed consequences for those who do not have the legal basis to remain, and he has removed more than 250,000 individuals, this administration has done so

is, since may 12th. >> reporter: and let's go back to this shot of this group coming. i mean, this is the live, on the ground perspective that our viewers and the rest of the country need to see because this group right here that i'm looking at, i'm seeing a large concentration of males. in fact, i see only a few women in here and maybe one or two small children. and the single adult males, as this crisis has evolved and we have been covering it live with you guy for the last two and a half years, it's gone from the family units now to venezuelan men that are coming because they know not only they're from venezuela, are they likely to be are released, they're also going to be protected. the administration says this applies only to migrants who arrived here before a certain date in july, but that's not the message they're getting, and that's why they're coming in

these record numbers. these agents are is simply overwhelmed and outnumbered. the agent staffing in this station of eagle pass averages 35-40 agents a day, and yet i'm already upwards of 1,000, and it's not even i 9:30, 10 a.m. locally. and we've seen videos and i have sources telling me as late as last night at 11:00 that there's thousands of more riding on that train coming up 2, 3 hours south of here, a straight shot up here. they're not slowing down anytime soon. and, in fact, i had one moment i do want to quickly show you, and i'm sorry for going so long, but this is the crisis -- the border's never, never in history been this unstable, unsecure. agents have never been this overrun. i tried to interview representative tony gonzalez yesterday afternoon right here because he represents this area, and literally migrants were crawling through our live shot. take a look at this, watch.

>> the images here on the river are terrible, but what about the people that live in the united states? they're the ones that are getting impacted the hardest. >> reporter: as we're talking, you can see a gentleman is literally navigating, negotiating in this razor-sharp wire with a child. >> every single day. and it's sad. it breaks your heart. i mean, the trek that these people have made, they should never have to start that trek now. >> reporter: and these are the lucky ones. you're looking on the left side of your screen, the ones that made it across the rio grande. in three days we'ved had three drownings. i was standing here as we watched a body being recovered yesterday afternoon. meanwhile, over in el paso they're seeing similar numbers, and yet they have three confirmed cases of tuberculosis, putting agents and the public at a greater health risk. guys, back to you with. pete: griff -- rachel: thank you, griff. pete: -- great report, really appreciate it. had some questions, but you

answer them all. and thank you, griff. will: thanks, griff. pete: first of all, the staggering nature of those live shots, we're seeing them the same time you are, it's overwhelmingly military-age males. and they know the border's open, so illegals are coming here and saying i'm coming in. will: the biden administration just threw gasoline on this fire you're seeing on your screen. on thursday night joe biden said in a speech to the congressional hispanic caucus that that he is going to extend, quote, to historic proportions the ability of people from latin america to claim refugee the status and specifically addressing those from venezuela. how do you think it's going to be heard in venezuela? rachel: yeah. it's really interesting that at the same time we're giving that kind of status to venezuelans here in the united states, we have alexandria ocasio-cortez on a socialist tough the tour of latin america during her august break. clearly, this administration is not addressing the root causes of what is happening in latin america that's causing all of these people to want to come

here. in fact, they're enabling it, they're encouraging it, they're giving, you know, aid and a lot of attention to the most radical leftist governments in latin america which is why these people are leaving and coming here. by the way, amazing footage of a u.s. congressman standing on the border as a man and a child sneak past the wire. i mean, alarm bells should be going off, but i'm telling you, other than this channel, you will not see this story, at least not reported in this fashion. pete: nope. it is a full scale invasion. it's exactly what it is. the governor of texas the finally declared it as such, yet the this administration if -- the signals of this administration are come on in. here's a notice to the appear if, we'll see you many five years or we won't see you. and in the meantime, we're going to make it a political issue and try to give you work permits, dreamer 7.0. they don't know what the future

holds, but it means chaos. rachel: yeah. they're directing our border control and agents to just release them. and the people themselves are confused. they're like, really, i can go? yep, go. they're not even processing them, and now you hear at the end of that report what's really another troubling development, tuberculosis cases being caught coming over the border. and as we know, many of these children are coming into your schools. so major problems because they're not even having to be vaccinated. they're having a delay enforcing vaccination and other kind of health screening for kids coming into the school system from other countries. will: we move to the story about john fetterman wearing basketball or shorts and hoodies in the senate. it's become so obvious to everybody the level of inappropriateness, they even admitted it on "the view." >> this has caused a tremendous problem on the floor.

democrats and republicans coming together on this topic -- the. [laughter] even manchin and dick durbin are saying they're concerned about the standards. >> i mean, really, i think that -- and the shutdown, by the way, is imminent. pretty soon we'll have no government. they're going away for the weekend, and they're worried about who's wearing what on the floor. >> there should be decorum, i love just the tradition of it. >> i don't like what i feel is the the erosion of decorum in the senate which i think is incredibly important. i didn't like it when kyrsten sinema showed up with all those wigs, i don't want to show up at a funeral home and have a funeral director in a hoodie and shorts. i don't want my pilot in a hoodie and shorts. will: it's just -- pete: there he is. rachel: he was presiding over the senate. will: that's actually his dressed up look -- [laughter] rachel: i know. will: i mean, i said it in jest the other day, but how does he

dress down after a hard day's work? >> what does he put on when he goes home? how do you make that more casual? if this is the united states senate. i do, truly true extend empathy about the fact that heed had a stroke and he has depression. but it the you're not up to the job, you're not up to the job. rachel: [inaudible] will: well, i think they use with it as an excuse. rachel: what is the connection between a stroke and showing up like that? will: i don't know. inability to do button? i don't know. he said this week that he has compromised ability to process language. that's an integral role. your job is to take language and draft it into law. rachel: yeah. you know, there's a lot of levels to this, but one of the things you can take from this, pretty much in line, the fact that they changed the rules in the senate to allow for that is typical of what they do in general, they take 1% person, minute who has some issue, and they try and normalize it for

everybody else, and we all have to accept it. when sean was in congress, he would occasionally wear a shirt, a suit jacket, and then have jeans on. and at one point one with of the, i think he was from texas, the one who wears the big cowboy hats, i can't remember her name, but there was a congresswoman who liked to wear these very flamboyant matching cowboy hats and outfits, and paul ryan said, you know, there was a demand to get the rules in check. and they said, well, what about sean duffy because he was wearing jean jeans paul ryan came and called up sean and dressed him down, and sean never wore jeans again. and sean said that was the right thing to do. you have to maintain the standards. but i think it's reflect iftive of -- renecktive of his inability to do his job. i mean, he just -- pete: well, you get the government you deserve, and this is about what we deserve at this point. rachel: fair enough. pete: again, i think republicans should start wearing t-shirts with really political phrases on

'em. make it a zoo, make it the clown show that it already is -- will: it already is. pete: i screw -- screw it, go for it. i think they'll reverse this rule, but make a caricature. one of the female senators said she's going to wear a bathing suit on the floor. [laughter] will: yeah, it's not ridiculous. you're almost at terminal velocity here in the hood key and basketball shorts. have some respect and dignity for the office that you hold. you know, when i host the will cain podcast, sometimes i wear a t-shirt. i'm a podcast host. [laughter] i'm not a senator. rachel: right. can i tell to you that we've brought up before about john fetterman -- pete: have some respect for yourself, will with. [laughter] rachel: let's bring with up the wives. if my husband walks out looking like that, i would say something. where is his family to help him, again, his wife, to say, honey, that's not acceptable. pete: remember, he ran in the

carhart hoodie, he thinks that's his brand. the health thing is an excuse thing -- will: [inaudible] pete: he's always been a slob. rachel: i don't understand the connection between his health and his hoodies. will: it's the not important that a you understand. pete: don't understand anything. womenwomen i'm not -- will: i'm not messing with you, it's not important. you are imposing logic on a situation that is not logical. turning to your headlines, a fox weather alert. tropical storm ophelia making landfall in north carolina, heavy rain and powerful winds pounding the coast causing minor flooding. there are over 60,000 outages in north carolina, virginia, maryland and new jersey. for more on the storm, be sure to download the fox weather app or stream fox weather on any tv-connected dice. the mayor of dallas, texas, leaving the democrat party and will switch to the gop. mayor eric johnson wrote an op-ed in the "wall street journal" saying, quote, too many

♪ rachel: authorities are expanding their manhunt for a murder suspect more than one week after he was accidentally released from an indiana jail. kevin mason was on the run for two years after shooting and killing a man in a minneapolis church parking lot back in 2021. he was arrested last week in indianapolis only to be released two days later due to a clerical error. on top of that, authorities kept mason's release quiet for six full days to have a, quote, tactical advantage in finding him. let's get a reaction if from fox nation host nancy grace.

nancy, good morning. what do you make of this clerical error? how does this even happen? >> well, this is how it happened, number one, the sheriff made it very clear the taffe is overworked, underpaid, and they're down about 25 the employees. that's because they're not funded. that's no excuse. let me tell you about the guy you're looking at right now. he is a known gang member, and he was on the run for two years for another murder. let that sink in. he gunned down another gang member while they were at a funeral for another gang member in an argument over a gun. and it's outside the funeral home where they were mourning their buddy, the gang member. he goes on the run two years, hiding out in the indianapolis area. two years. then he finally gets arrested, gets put in the marion county jail, and due to a clerical error, what they are telling me

is that they were trying to clean up all of his charges on the record and accidentally deleted the main one, and he walks free. yeah, they should be fired which leaves them down even more employees. listen to this. his girlfriend, desiree oliver, picks him up from the jail, takes him to walmart where she buys him a travel kit, slippers is and underwear, and they watch her -- look at her. they put her under surveillance, and they see her getting her tires fixed and oil changed like she's about to go on a long trip. he is in the wind. he is a known killer, and he will kill again. now, they kept it quiet. don't you think that the victim's family and the witnesses would like to know he's out prowling around, maybe coming after them? rachel: yeah, it's unbelievable. but, you know, defund the police does have consequences, and you're right, staffing can add to that, to the problems that we're seeing in our country right now.

thank you for that, nancy. it's a great recap -- >> can i tell you one more thing this their defense? rachel: yeah, sure. >> in their defense, they were trying to track the girlfriend, and they wanted to keep it on the down low. that's how they were looking for him. they were tracking her to find him. so you've got to give them credit for that, not releasing it or making it public. rachel: yeah. fair enough. let's talk about crimecon because that's streaming live on fox nation. >> oh, yeah. rachel: what can people expect? >> come on in, everybody. oh, man, we are speaking to crime victims, crime victims' families. everybody is crowded around because they want to wave at "fox & friends." this means a lot to us because this is a chance for victims' families, the petito family is here, all sorts of victims' families are here to be heard. they don't have a voice in our system. we are packed with experts, law

rick: welcome back to "fox & friends." we continue to track the impacts from tropical storm ophelia, made landfall the coast of north carolina, around emerald isle, which has picked up over 6 inches of rain. a lot of areas here getting a lot of rain that's caused some significant flooding already. you can see the center of the storm right there, flood warnings in effect right around the center. we've also had some tornado warnings today which will probably be the case throughout the afternoon, especially areas of eastern north carolina and eastern virginia. notice though the rain has spread all the way up across parts of the northeast, and we have big flooding concerns along the coast. this is just the immediate coast and then these inlets as well up across parts of the chesapeake bay, in towards the delaware bay is and even across parts of the long island sound. big rain still yet to fall, we've seen those areas over 6 inches of rain, but i want to quickly zoom in on what happens

from philadelphia through new york, up towards boston. it's going to be the a tight cutoff here, maybe parts of northern massachusetts, down towards the coastal areas. a lot of places 2-3 inches of rain is going to be the falling, wind maybe 30-40 miles an hour and potentially causing power outages. will and pete, over to you. will: thank you, rick. ♪ pete: flags are flying everywhere. we're just a few weeks into the nfl season, and fan fights have broken out across the country. will: yeah. so let's go off the wall with a play-by-play. it seems to have gotten worse. pete's doubtful of that fact, thinks it's a proliferation of cell phones, maybe not a proliferation of fights. pete: first of all, who's in this graphic? these are eagles' fans, okay? famously, the eagles have long had a jail in the basement of their stadium. will: correct. pete: so this is not a new problem. eagles and philadelphia have had a problem for a long time. of. will: okay. maybe this problem goes beyond

philadelphia. pete: maybe it's spread else elsewhere where. will: let's start out with giants and 49ers. this was actually just among fans. pete: it appears it was originally an altercation between two female fans. you've got one guy holding his beer, barely engaging, and then once he does, it's unclear whose sides are on what, it's probably men defending the women -- will: there's a wig that's lost, by way. pete: there's a wig that gets pulled off. security eventually makes its way there, but these are big dudes. alcohol involved, always. is so this is inside one team. with. will: yeah. meanwhile, we go to the statements and panthers where those opposing teams got -- oh, i mean, pete, it's funny, like, in some ways you look at this stuff kind of comedic because you're laughing at the idiocy of these guys, but this stuff is dangerous. there's some serious shots being

landed. pete: yeah. the next slide we're about to show, not to get ahead of user ourselves, is where a death occurred. any one of those shots could potentially be fatal but certainly cause a lot of damage. and and look at that, it keeps going. what kind of passion in your team must translate into -- this had nothing to do with the game and everything to do with some sort of bravado or or man up or something happening in the stands. will: here's the one that pete just referenced, new england patriots versus miami dolphins. one of the men involved in this did end up dying. the autopsy report after the fact indicates that he had a health condition that contributed to the death, not evidence that trauma injury caused the death. pete: his name is dale mooney, a 53-year-old new hampshire resident. he was a season ticketholder. there was an altercation. yes, according to an eyewitness, before hitting the deck mooney was in distress, and the actual examination showed it may not have been the altercation that caused his death, but still, a

couple of punches in the stands, he went down. they say they waited about two minutes for him to come back, and he never did. and that's when they called -- really, really sad. bill: the indianapolis colts and houston texans, here's a fight. houston police not involved. i mean, these things -- look at the crowd. pete: so that's part of what i want to talk about here. is this new? i mean, some of this, this is not a game-related brawl of, don't, mock my quarterback. there's something else going on here. and it continues, and other people are jumping in on each side. and then the phones, i feel like the phones are why we're covering more of this. because there have always been brawls. will: we've had video on phones for over a decade now, and it does feel -- and, again, i don't have quantitative data on this at the moment, but qualitatively, anecdotally, it certainly feels like this is on the rise. we've only had three weekends of

nfl football, there's multiple instances splashed across your -- pete: the year brett favre almost took us to the super bowl in 2008, cell phones were not as prolific then, but we may or may not have been escort out of the stadium. will: you're one of these. pete: we weren't in a fight, we just had differences of opinions with a few of the cardinals' fans, and somebody complained, so we had to watch the third quarter in the parking lot. will: we might have video of that. [laughter] pete: if there'd have been a phone -- there budget. we didn't do anything wrong, by the way. we did absolutely nothing wrong. will: speaking of the cardinals, it's cardinals and commanders' fans, a man was arrested for trespassing, disorderly conduct and second-degree assault. this one's rough. i mean, it's a ravens fan here that takes the worst of it. pete: yeah.

by the way, i've been at that stand with a vikings where are city, those fans are take a lot, and they'll give a lot. whatever insults going back and forth went way too far. likingses it -- like, it just never needs to end in punches. will: fighting in a stadium as a welsh there's a lot of high ground, and you end up -- pete: going over a chair. will: yeah. i love the nfl. i'm passionate about my dallas cowboys. i can't make you promises, but it's the not a high probability that you're going to find me in one of those situations. was there last weekend. got along with the jets fans just fine. pete: well, they're jets fans. there's always a little bit of pity for them. especially this year. you're right, it's not that parent important, it's football. the white house wants to fight social media misinformation even as the supreme court considers restricting their authority. matt taibbi exposes the truth coming up next.

european-style speech standards which, of course, are much more stringent and involve restrictions on things like hate speech and in some cases misinformation that we don't have here in the united states. we have a very unique speech tradition in america that i think the is very much worth upholding. and the biden administration seems to think that it has some kind of prerogative that allows it to go out and, quote, police misinformation. which it does not. it's expressly prohibited from doing that in the constitution. will: yeah. for now. i mean, it is, you're right, it's enshrined in the constitution, there's still some justices and judges willing to protect that, but it certainly seems to be the push in that a direction. and, look, man, it is pushed by so many in the media. there was this article that week about, hey, we need to drop the pretense of neutrality. whether or not neutrality, objectivity, you know, i think these are aspirations that we need to be honest about our points of view, but i think the

movement is to advance a propaganda agenda of one-party points of view, and that's openly now being advocated. >> yeah x. this is something that i've been worried about for quite a long time. i mean, journalism is hard enough when the job is just worrying about getting things right. that's a full-time job already. and we didn't do such a great job of that even before we started taking on this additional responsibility which a lot of modern reporters think they have of worrying about whether the narrative is correct and whether audiences are responding correctly to the facts. so now there's this whole new movement where we sometimes decide that even if a thing is true, we won't report it because people might respond incorrectly to that. you know? they won't take the right political message. that's not our job. our job is just to tell you what we know, and then you do it, you figure out what to do with it yourself, and we're going away from that standard. will: if we're confident in the

what we know, it will survive the test of someone's challenge. that's the idea of free speech. by the way, you have a history of challenging me. i believe the last time we interacted you called me an idiot on social media, so i incite you on my podcast to have a long format -- >> thanks, will. i love your stuff anyway, i apologize for that. will: you don't need to apologize. you disagreed with me. i was right, you were wrong. [laughter] i'll see you, matt. >> take care. will: rachel, over to you. [laughter] rachel: are you kidding me? did you just do that to matt taibbi? pete: he liked it. rachel: no, he did not. who would like that? will: is this a volcano getting ready to blow? [laughter] rachel: we're going to have to chat a little after this. [laughter] we're going to turn now to your headlines. 18 people remain in the hospital including 5 students in critical condition following thursday's deadly bus crash in upstate new
