will: beautiful shot of philadelphia, pennsylvania. with a little florida georgia line welcoming you in to this saturday morning of "fox & friends" weekend. will cain, rachel campos duffy, pete hegseth and some of the best waffles -- rachel: i know, i was checking my teeth. i was going to take a bite, then i'll just have half. i ate the whole thing. if you're going to go for carbs, this is worth it. pete: eating on the show count count. it doesn't count. it absolutely doesn't count. you can abide by good dietary rules, but you can eat whatever you want. will: i think the most notable mistake is probably ice cream shops. you go to stone cold creamery, i want this topping, and they start mixing it up, and then you realize later, that was a mistake. i should have just gotten a vanilla. that guy was right. like, a waffle with no toppingings was the way to go, and you would think, never do that. the whips cream and the

caramel -- pete: powdered one first. will: right. rachel: the best part was watching pete eat the waffle right after he came out of the waffle maker, and i thought to myself, that's got to be hot. he was trying really hard to be manly and keep holding it -- [laughter] pete: i got a little bufferin right here. rachel: i know. will: is your tongue all burned where you can't taste anything? pete: no, the tong's -- tongue's okay. the fourth and final hour of "fox & friends" on saturday, maybe they'll let us ride that motorcycle. will: doubt it. pete: we have lawyers. rachel: former president donald trump announcing plans to establish a presidential commission on assassination attempts. pete: this comes as we learn that five secret service agents are assigned to administrative duty following the deadly rally shooting in butler, pennsylvania. will: chanley painter is here with more this morning. >> reporter: good morning. six weeks after surviving an

assassination attempt, former president trump stood on stage next to robert f. kennedy jr. yesterday announcing his plans to the create an independent presidential commission on assassination attempts to investigate his july 13th shooting and in honor of kennedy's father and uncle. watch. >> they will be tasked with releasing all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of president john f. kennedy -- [cheers and applause] they will also conduct a rigorous review of the attack last month. they never provided us with the number of people that we should have had for the massive rallies that we had. they never gave us the number of people in terms of secret service people that were necessary. >> reporter: this comes as at least five secret service agents were assigned to administrative duty following the failed the attempt on trump's life at that rally in butler, pennsylvania. that includes one member of trump's personal detail and four members of the pittsburgh field

office including the special agent in charge. the agents are now working remotely as they are no longer allowed in the field. house speaker mike johnson said this. quote, today's decision to place multiple agents on leave is the agency's to first step towards accountability, but it comes 41 days after the attempt on president trump's life, and it's nowhere near enough. and we are also learning a whistleblower has come forth claiming officials at secret service headquarters encouraged agents not to request extra security for trump's butler rally, pointing to to trump as a former president and not the incumbent president or vice president. the information comes to light in a a letter by senator josh hawley demanding answers from the agency. lawmakers are planning to visit the site on monday, guys. pete: eager to hear more about that whistleblower who's saying internally they were told do not give more assets to trump in this outdoor venue in butler, pennsylvania. which means what the secret

service director at the beginning said wasn't true. rachel: or on that first day, pete, we were the first ones on after the shooting on fox really, and the spokesperson for the secret service member kept giving these saints -- pete: they had all the assets they needed. ly --ly, i remember that. will: we had congressman waltz on earlier. >> i applaud the president for doing this because he and himself personally, his first administration and then how he's conducting himself in this campaign is all about transparency. president trump is trying to bring whatever transparency he can on to the federal government and restore people's trust in the intelligence community, in the justice department and across their government. and so much trust has been lost. my frustration is the fbi and the secret service are moving at a snail's pace. they're acting like this is a

one-time incident that we can take our time to really unpack. no. these plots are happening right now as we speak. we have a foreign enemy trying to to kill our former president. we need to be releasing information as we get it, and they need to move a lot faster, in my view. pete: they sure do. remember when obama said he was going to be the most transparent administration of all time and then, of course, he was the opposite? same with biden. when you see trump on stage with rfk jr., a man whose uncle was assassinated, we never got the answers, still don't have them, the closest thing you're going to get to real transparency across the government, people running against the system willing to open the books on any number of issues. rachel, you listed a number of them. we deserve that at this point. for a country likes ours to actually attempt to function with all of our difference, you need complete information. for an incident like that in butler, pennsylvania, for us to still have all the questions we

have right new and five guys on administrative leave? that's not fired, by the way, that means you're on pause. still not enough. rachel: yeah. we need answers, and i think a too often -- first of all, nobody trusts any of these agencies that are doing the investigation, that's the first problem. but i think having rfk jr. and donald trump, both people who were not given proper secret service protection and then, of course, rfk's history with assassination in his family, donald trump having experienced that, i just believe this is a moment where these two forces are are promising to go up against the system. and this, i really honestly believe this is the last chance that americans have to get to the bottom of this. if the other side wins, i truly believe we'll never mow the answer to these questions that you're bringing up and never have trust in these institutions again. will: it's been now 34 days we haven't heard kamala harris answer any serious questions, no interview, no press conference.

her deputy campaign manager says, don't worry, it's coming. >> reporter: when will she sit down with the media in a one-on-one capacity and answer our questions? >> i think she'll sit down on her time. look, as you mentioned, this was a truncated time frame. we have made sure we were getting out talking to voters. i think people forget just how short of a time frame it has been. we had a change at the top of the ticket, we elected a brand new vice presidential nominee pick in governor walz. we had to host a convention, and we had to make sure that a we're communicating with voters. so there's no rest for the wicked. our campaign's going to continue to do all the things we need to do, and vice president harris will make herself available to speak to the press on her time and when she's ready. pete: okay. will: on her time and when she's ready. [laughter] pete: here's the problem, they know she's not ready, and she won't be ready, you know? it was the debate that undermined bide when the world finally saw his capabilities. the same could happen, i guess,

on september 10th, but they're doing everything they can to prevent an unforced error until then. will: i mean, it's smart political calculation, it is. i mean, i think she had an effective speech for her cause on thursday night. that doesn't mean i don't think it was full of lies. it was full of lie, phony, shallow, but i think effective. a lot of voters, a lot, a lot of voters don't dig in deep. and you tell a nice personal story, you throw out positive vibes, and my point is they control her. they control how she's exposed, and it's smart. it's smart because once you sit her down for an interview and she can't have that manufactured environment or a debate, it's not going to go as well. go ahead. rachel: they control her, i think is the key phrase in what you just said. they're not just controlling this campaign and how it's rolling out and the pact thatst -- fact that it's just plague out on tiktok and she's essentially an a.i. candidate, but they're going to control her if she's elected.

she is a replaceable stand-in for whoever is running this government at this moment. we know it's not joe biden. he's on the beach. she's clearly not running anything, she's on the campaign trail taking controlled, you know, questions. but who's running this country? that's the question of this election. pete: that's the other trick they're trying to pull. forward. well, you've been -- you were the last three and a half years. and that's, mark penn, by the way, was on -- i don't know what show it was, hannity, talking about -- he's a pollster talking about how the harris campaign is doing everything they can to to talk about the future and separate themselves from, you know, the other guy that was the front of the hyphen, biden-harris, for three and a half years. watch. >> some magic has been deployed here. [laughter] the premise of the campaign is that donald trump, not joe biden, the is the incumbent president. and they basically suspended time. the last four years didn't exist. kamala harris was not vice president and, instead, she's charting some way forward. you go to the web site and it

says doe mate, it's got nothing there. and it's there's a $5 trillion tax increase but, hey, regardless, they're moving mt. polls. so far this -- in the polls. so far this strategy of no interviews, broad themes, limited policies, pretend she wasn't part of the administration, donald trump's the incumbent in the past, it's working so far. it's going to come to a head, i think, on september 10th with the debate that cannot be scripted where these two are going to to go person to person, and we're going to see whether or not this campaign holds up or whether donald trump can defeat her as he defeated the last presidential candidate. pete: yeah. they may find an opportunity to find the friendliest confines they can before september soth -- september 10th -- will: what would that be, msnbc? pete: something hike that. then you can say check the box. all we're doing is checking boxes, will. then you spend ten days hunkering down preparing for the debate so you can give a b performance, whatever, just

enough to say, okay, that's done, we did that, and then you keep hiding out. will: if you were advising her, that's what you'd say to do. pete: that that's what they did with joe biden. they used covid as an excuse to say, hey a, you don't need to see or hear from this guy, we'll have him read a script each day, and you can vote for the avatar. that's what's happening right now. rachel: that's why the american people are in charge right here. they can decide whether they want this kind of new way of campaigning, you know, this new kind of election where you don't have to to encounter real voters and questions. you don't have to encounter your opponent. this is the new standard they're trying to set. meanwhile, donald trump is running a traditional a campaign, i'll meet again, talk to anybody, go to the border, talk to anybody whose families were killed by people at the border, i'll talk with waitresses who are dealing with their tips and what's going to happen in the next election. meanwhile -- will: and they'll do, they, honestly, any party --

rachel: it's the end of democracy if they pull this off. will: any party, switch whenever you want, last minute. don't expose your policies or yourself to any scrutiny. and give a vibes campaign. and if it works, why wouldn't every candidate or every party try to do that? if. pete: they pretty much, it started for the most part under obama. i mean, it was a hope and change candidate who was very soft about what he said he stood for. and he rode in on the warm glow of media coverage and almost no scrutiny on his background. rachel: that's right. pete: that's what they're counting on here. rachel: absolutely. pete: by the way, part of what they're doing as well is looking at popular policy positions donald trump is saying and -- is taking and saying, i'm for that too. that includes, of course, no act that on tips. former president trump was in las vegas yesterday and pointed out someone's homework's being copied. >> we're going to turn our country around, we're going to make america great again. [cheers and applause] we're going to let you keep 100%

of your tip income and not be harassed. kamala harris is now pretending to endorse my policy. she's got a lot of other policies. she should just -- she's a copycat. [cheers and applause] she's a flip floarp. you know what a -- she's the greatest flip-flopper in history. she went from communism to capitalism in about two weeks. [laughter] but, in fact, kamala cast the tie-breaking vote to hire 87,000 the new irs agents to to go after your tip income. they're going after it in a lot of ways. [background sounds] i don't know what they're doing now. this has happened with a lot of industries where we out with something, they immediately follow. rachel: donald trump also a met with waitresses, and some waitresses aren't believing that kamala suddenly believes in this no tax on tips policy since she was the deciding vote to send the irs after waitresses and uber drivers who get ins. listen.

who get tipses. >> this is the honor of my life, to be up here with my favorite president. [laughter] [cheers and applause] and his no tax on tips policy is going to help my family. it's going to bring immediate if relief to my pocketbook and my seven kids and and all of you here who have children and families to the take care of, this is going to be a great thing for all of us. pete: yeah. it's true. changed lives. i talked to, i mean, talk to people who live in the service industry, no doubter. rachel: yeah. no question about it. pete: can't let 'em get away with policy theft. we're going to turn now to a few additional headlines starting with this, a tennessee man is now charged for making threats against president biden, vp harris and former president obama. the u.s. attorney's office says the suspect made alarming social media posts back in july. if threatening to crash president biden's plane and kill both vp harris and former president obama. this comes as an arizona man

accused of threatening to the the kill president trump made his first court appearance via video from a county jail yesterday. and italian prosecutors launch a manslaughter investigation following monday's deadly super yacht disaster off of sicily. the investigation is not yet aimed at any individual. the ship capsized during a storm killing seven people. including british tech tycoon, mike lynch and his 18-year-old daughter. a family spokesman saying, quote, the lynch family is devastated, their thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragedy. prosecutors say the victims may have been asleep and that's why they did the not escape the yacht. what are we looking at there? will: hard to say. pete: i can't tell if that's the yacht in the distance through the rain. all right. this afternoon nasa is expected to reveal whether boeing's starliner capsule is safe enough the fly its crew back home. butch will more and sunny

williams have now been stuck on the international space station for 80 days. their mission was supposed to last just 8 days. but they haven't been able to return aboard boeing's spacecraft due to thruster issues and helium leaks. i'm stuck in space with thruster issues, and my helium is leaking. that's not so good. will: no. rachel: i think they're depending on boeing and the government to get them down? good luck. will: hope you've got a lot of spam. all right, rfk jr. hammering vice president kamala harris and the democrat party before endorsing donald trump. >> -- its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for vice president harris with no debates, only smoke and mirrors. rachel: we're asking former economic adviser the president obama, robert wolf, what he thinks. ♪ ♪

race and throw their support to donald trump. what a statement, robert. >> so i saw what you played before. you know he wanted to run as a democrat, he wanted to meet with vice president harris last week. three months ago this was his quote, rfk said president trump scammed the american worker. he had a tax cut for the rich. he's been all over the place. so i think that the for the most part i think he's going to be somewhat irrelevant. third party candidates, will, are most important when they're third party -- will: yeah, but he's not. >> right. endorsements don't mean a -- let me just -- 10 seconds. will: okay. >> endorsements don't mean a lot. what means a lot is when they're a third party candidate and they get either the double haters or the kiss infected voters, nader impacted gore-bush and stein impacted trump-clinton. the data showed -- will: well, but hold -- i hear your point. >> less than .2 of a percent.

will: i hear your point, but it's not entirely accurate. what he is going to do is leave his name on the ballot in some states and in others withdraw and throw his support to donald trump. that's 5 percentage points that -- >> that that's not 5 percentage points -- will: hold on, hold on. that's what he's polling at right now, robert -- >> yeah, but -- will: hold on, hold on. i gave you your extra 10, it turned into 20. >> that's fair. will: the 5 percentage points, i'm not going to sit here and say all 5 a are going to donald trump, but that's not necessary. we're talking about an election that a comes down to tens of thousands of votes. i think it's fair -- not fairly, very significant. i'm going to come back to why in moment, but just the effect of this, i think it has the potential to be very effective on the outcome of the presidential election. >> yeah, i would disagree. so i view i -- you say 5%, i saw internals at 2.5-3 %, and i

think that it's viewed like it's 54-46, trump versus harris. if you looked at that, first of all, not all of voting, i saw it was less than .2. so that's quite negligible. and me to you, i think this is a choice election. i don't think robert f. kennedy's going to impact it. but we'll just wait and see. it's only 24 hours old, right? will: okay. one more thing because the significance is not just the potential impact, but the coffer of the new york post says a kennedy endorses donald trump. that's a pretty big statement. and if your initial point was, well, he's been all over the place, he wanted to reach out to harris. but ultimately, robert, he did go with trump. now, you can dismiss that as a rfk's all over the place, but i think we all a deserve to give him the respect the answer of why he did it, and both he and shanahan are saying there is policy overlap. not total disagreement with trump. but it's really about the process. they're saying your party has closed down itses process to the voters and any competition.

and for the last 12 the years, this is according to shanahan, has selected their candidates from a pool selected by heats and by donors. and they're not in on this. they want to actually participate in dem do crass, and their answer to that -- democracy and their answer the that is donald trump. >> yeah. i don't know who shanahan is. i think that if you asked 100 people, 99.9% wouldn't know who she is. so the idea that she's impacting the democratic voter is a zero. will: that's so dismissive. >> -- on behalf of fox the last four days, and it was electric. and you can see by the polls, you know, right now it's the pretty much even. i mean, that -- will: i would just say, i've got to go. i would just say, look, and you and i are getting to know each other. i think that sounds very dismissive, and that's the charge. democrats are dismissive of the voters. and to say you don't know who nicole shanahan is, first of all, she's been a big donor to the democratic party. it sounds very dismissive as she's telling you the problem

with your party. >> i mean, she has one vote and you're listening to her voice most, more than most people in the country. will: all right. well, you and i are talking about her voice right now to about a million and a half, two million people in this country. but, robert, i appreciate the conversation. thank you. >> thank you. will all right. tensions rise in venezuela after the government-controlled supreme court sided with dictator nicolas maduro's claim he won the election. venezuela's opposition leader joins us on the fight for democracy. you've been looking at tires for hours now. it's just so confusing. i can't make a decision. two words, my friend. atturo tires: built to last, and won't break the bank. how are you with dating apps? atturo puts performance within reach. a perfect day for a family outing!

dictatorship with censorship, persecution, with no money at all. it was huge. we had over a million volunteers all over venezuela, and we were able to collect all the voting tally sheets. we digitalized them, we put them, you know, on the web site for everyone to scrutinize and audit. so now everybody knows in venezuela and abroad that edmundo gonzalez is president-elect, and maduro was defeated. rachel: so you talk about the persecution of the opposition. you were a victim of that. you were actually banned from running. you were the most popular candidate. you were banned from running. in fact, many people say you were trumped. they had phony, fake corruption charges against you, and ed mundo stepped in because you could not run. but many of the protesters who have taken to the streets, many of them young, brave kids, have

country. we want to stop migration. and if this keeps going, millions of venezuelans will leave. and we want that those that have gone out even to the united states come back to build our country. and we want to enshire you -- ensure you that we will ensure that venezuela doesn't function as a dependent proxy of russia and as a hub of criminal organizations and -- [inaudible] at cities right now. we will turn venezuela into a democratic nation, truly engage with our partners -- [inaudible] in the united states to promote security and prosperity for all. we have the chance now. we need your support and we will provail -- prevail. rachel: you are probably the bravest woman in the if western hem fear. we pray for your cause and hope that people in the harris-biden administration are listening.

platitude, very thin on any particular policy. is she going to get away with this? >> no, she can't. look, democrat convention, the appearance if is attract thive, but the reality is ugly -- attractive, but the reality is ugly and bad and awful and senseless whether you're the border, whether you're talking about the economy or here whether you're talking about education. he's going to do a tour. what's he going to do, a tour of empty classrooms which was, remember randi weingarten, the head of the teachers' union? if we can't open the schools? maybe he'll tour empty schools or stools with 7-year-olds with masks on or -- schools with 7-year-olds with masks on. because that was their policy. they certainly didn't increase math and reading scores. pete: no. >> we have an expression called the joy of learning. and my wife, who is in the schools, tells me -- and she's been in more recently than i have -- the learning's not there, and the joy's not there.

of the current education secretary of those battleground states, he'll have his checkbook, and that's what they'll talk about. they have given a ton of money, of course, that's their constituency. what, pete, maybe 30, 40% of the people at that convention were members of a union, teachers' union or married to a member of a teacher's union. huge representation. it's a bribe, basically. and we know that more money doesn't mean better schools. pete: president can you think of an issue that's more clarifying between the left and the right these days than education? you're right, the left is totally captured by public school interests and money whereas you've seen a renaissance in school choice from conservatives in red states that a want to to give parents more choice. also they define freedom as freedom to have these smutty books in the classroom for miles per hours. i mean, education is a really clear fault line. >> yeah. no, i'm part of the education

freedom alliance for school choice and, obviously, or choice matters. content matters as well. pete: correct. >> maybe the only more clarifying issue would be the border, you know? if are you in favor of opening the border or having restrictions at the border. and, my god, once again back to my theme, they have this attractive presentation, but the reality that they want has to be avoided. so policy, or policy, policy. that's what donald trump has to keep pushing. got to draw her out. she's got to do some interviews. though as the days go on, pete, i doubt that she's going to do a lot of interviews. pete: right. >> maybe none except with very friendly press. pete: you're right. why would she when they'll cover for her in the process. >> right. pete: bill bennett, as always, wise words. thank you, sir. >> thank you, pete. pete: good to see you. let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for
