can he recollects t the 7:00 a.m. hour and we're days away from the 2024 presidential debate but kamala harris might not come out of hiding before then and courts say she plans to continue following biden's self-basement campaign strategy. rachel: are kids falling more and more behind in school? long term effect of covid school closures or something more serious in our education system. will: adam is in michigan ahead of the big noon kickoff. "fox & friends" second hour starts now.

♪ ♪ rachel: good morning, everybody. it's 7:00 here in new york city. that's a beautiful picture of charlie 6789 gorgeous. rachel: we wanted to welcome you. here at home. rachel: it's so sad seeing the kids go back to school. will: yeah, it still retains a bit of element summer and going to get the sounds of football. it's a little window of time and

adam klotz is in ann arbor, michigan, ahead of big noon kickoff. that's the game today on fox. his shot froze right when we tossed to him. that's what he gets for plugging michigan all day ahead of the big matchup. will: texas comes in and throws everything haywire in michigan. can't handle it. not only is the kickoff for the second week of college football, but essentially the kickoff to the election. what has become from election day to election season. has begun. we're supposed to have early voting beginning yesterday in north carolina and that's been delayed and rfk won a legal battle removed from the ballot.

a self-protection campaign. charlie: she's hiding from the press and not even taking questions or even little short quick questions on the bottom of the stairs going up to the plane. this is not normal. it's not moray mall for one -- normal to not have one presidential debate or a candidate hiding from the press or hiding from voters. rachel: ducking through interviews and limit -- the other strategy is limiting improvisational moments. they're different for sure and she entered the race seven weeks ago and did dozens of interviews before biden's exit and before she was -- charlie: no one was paying

attention. rachel: not doing long form interviews and she won't, he has been. charlie: going with them and trump is out and practicing his debate every day. as he says kamala harris has locked herself in a room to prevent practice for the debate is a real problem and practicing for debate and memorizing stuff and come out of the gate and easily doesn't end well. >> we have one problem, know what the problem is?

they have maga people outside screaming we love trump. we love trump and they can't focus. will: i mentioned on the show a few weeks ago and someone says harris, it's interesting for a vice president to not be really recognizable by their last name. will: that's why people say kamala and point it out and it's also illustrative of no one knowing who's harris? much less at a deeper policy or philosophical level. the entire campaign and all she pes to be, all her campaign wants him to be is a referendum on blank option for people to vote on i like donald trump or don't like donald trump. she's not speaking and has people speaking for her and they

don't know her positions and they're getting it wrong and they're having to correct themselves because she's either changing her position o pretending like she didn't have a position before and trying to clean the mess and it's hard when you don't actually know the person very well. here's some advice on what will hatch in the debate. >> she'll memorize tons of stuff and they're taking days off to memorize all this stuff and i think that you have to always call her vice president partly because it is her title and partly ticking her back to biden is deal with great respect and no matter what he says to him. come back calmly and effectively of the effects of reality what you're going to say to her is that what your coaches suggest

you say? the truth is she doesn't know a great deal and hasn't done a great deal rachel: i was talking to my husband because he's been through the debate and all this and he said this is astonishing and the anl way to do the debate well. you get behind doors and meet with your team and go over to topics. the work of preparing is meeting with voters and defending your position and metal sharpens metal and you have to talk about these issues and can't have that and it's a huge strategic thing. charlie: it's not what you think

and that's trump's latest gift and that's going by often sharing it and maybe sometimes with kamala harris and not to defend her too much, but i think that she probably comes off as way more left wing than we even realize largely because she doesn't know what to say. will: any interview she gives, she's reading the person. call this high emotional intention, eq, we all do this to some degree, if you're a principled politician running for office, it reveals itself that you're always at a thermometer if your chances change depending on who you're talking to, and that's being revealed. charlie: going into the halls of a rogue government, everything goes out the window. will: i feel the same.

be a thermostat and not a thermometer. set the temperature of the read, don't constantly read the temperature of the room. rachel: that's fair. even if she has a position on something. assume she has some position, the first time you articulate it, may not be the right way of framing it. to your point about thermometer versus thermostat, you know, again, we've said this on the show before, the fact that donald trump will go to rural washington or alabama and give the exact same message on the border as he did in the bronx, that's his strengths. and authenticity and that's going to be on display and judged in this debate.

charlie: trump re-interacting to the judge's decision to delay the case and alvin bragg. a judge of 12 unanimously convicted donald trump of 34 felony counts and the da stands ready for sentencing on the new date set by the court. here's donald trump reacting. >> manhattan da witch hunt against me has been postponed because everyone realizes there was no case because i did nothing wrong. so witch hunt going to be attacked by my political opponents in washington dc. going for purposes of that a and -- will: wait a minute. this is a weak case and

overturned on appeal and in part it's the united states supreme court and presidential immunity and a lot of evidence they used would be suabilitied to presidential immunity, it's likely to be overturned on appeal and going for merchan and what's been clear for this entire thing has been a political trial. donald trump laid out there and it's going for them to design to affect your vote and his poll number have gone up and going for merchan sitting there and going if i do this now, it helps donald trump. incredible points afterwards and that's like the political catchiness but either way, it's bad for america. charlie: yeah .x think about that, the idea that you have

justice going to be blind and she's blind folded for a reason and idea you have a judge that's making a political calculation either way and making a decision before the bench and that's smart and yeah. rachel: this is why other countries are looking at opinions and it's embarrassing for us internationally and we have the term going to be politically persecuted or really weak charges of corruption and against your opponent. they say he got trumped. that's actually a term now in latin america. how embarrassing for america that we are projecting that to other countries. it's horrible. >> judge merchan is in a pickle. i sentencings someone running, running right now, the forerunner and he'll probably be elected president. i sentence him before he gets

elected when the supreme court came down with a case that pretty much invalidates and the supreme sort already said alvin bragg can't use the information in this case to prosecute him because of presidential immunity. we're looking at a situation where judge merchan is probably saying if i sentence him, that's not going to work. if i wait, at least we'll see what's going to happen. will: the police department honoring an offer that was shot in his car. the suspect opened fire shortly

after arriving. his partner is now out of the hospital and coolidge's death was announced yesterday and leaves behind a wife and a daughter. a career criminal has been in and out of prison since 2008. california governor gavin newsom vetoing a bill that would have given these up to $150,000. as a down payment for a house. the bill aimed to give migrants abscess to the state's taxpayer funded long program for first time home buyers. houston released a statement yesterday saying he couldn't sign the bill because he was concerned about impact of it on the state budget. i think he couldn't sign the bill because of the president. at some point -- i dent know why that wasn't in the buster. it's wildly unpossible to give them $150,000 for down payment.

anyway, it's going viral after she says the man sitting next to her spread his knees out wide crossing into her personal space. she said that she had to push his leg away after he man spread into her area on a flight from winnipeg to edmonton, canada. one said she should have spoken up and another said they basically would have cried and the airline -- she would have cried. charlie: how about manners? this is unbelievable. airline weighing in on fox news digital and we shouldn't step entothis agreement between this. will: i find it suspect. that's extreme man spread. charlie: that's not normal. will: someone that man spreads and been accused of it be many watching. that was extreme and he was even pushing her legs even more. charlie: something more to that. will: that's suspect.

will: you said this was done for click bait? will: yeah. that was extreme. i know a lot of dudes i know a will the of man spreaders. that was extreme. charlie: canadians aren't that rude anyway. rachel: that's a good point. will: what's up, adam? reporter: still out here having a great time with all the fans. i'm still out here saying go -- >> blue! reporter: go -- >> blue! reporter: will, i'm giving you a hard time and there's some texas fans out here as well. we're talking about how it's a little cold out here and michigan fans said maybe it's too cold for texas to come up here and win. i find a texas fan that basically is adoring with that and you like your odds of

winning. >> it's not that cold. reporter: she's toughening up talking about game time. we have more great signs. this one incredible. what's your outcome for today. today? >> i want to win the $500 for the best sign. reporter: oh, she wants to win the money. what's our chant? >> go blue go blue go blue. reporter: you're the man. what do they say in texas? what's the saying? >> texas fight. reporter: if i say texas >> fight. reporter: texas -- >> fight. reporter: i'm getting mostly michigan fans here and it's mostly here and in ann arbor and what's your thought? >> 34-10. it's a respectable game. reporter: that's not a respectable game. these guys i did agree. what do you say? thanks for talking to me. guys, back over to you.

will: all morning long with this go blue. it's also telling that guy about it. i'm still talking to him and nice temperature for football. will: we're talking to national fraternaller order of police. charlie: gang members accused of taking over them for being arrested and released on bail and they're going as far back as last year.

let's say you're deep in a show or a game or the game. on a train, at home, at work. okay, maybe not at work. point is at xfinity. we're constantly engineering new ways to get the entertainment you love to you faster and easier than ever. that's what i do. is that love island?

rachel: suspected venezuelan gang members in colorado and ahead of isis denver region and congressional candidate and we're joined for this and getting nice and astounding and

going long before we started seeing these videos come out. reporter: we're finding out they knew about this well in advance and they've been gaslighting us continuously as we report on this. we've provided videos, we've provided pictures and statements and they still continue to gaslight us and now this attorney's record cops out, and they're still doing it. rachel: these aren't just common criminals. this is trendy agua and this is one of the most dangerous gangs we know of and involved in child prostitution and serious stuff and taking over the town and infiltrating the state of colorado. what are residents doing? what are people doing to push back against the callousness of their leaders? >> we held a round table and former ice tom homan was there and chip roy came up from texas

and we'ring looing for danielle and pushing here for the leaders or community and needs to do something. it's a strong arm and child prostitution. something needs to be done and need to get the community and knead to make arrests. rachel: this is from a colorado law firm con if i wering these claims and they say that in november 2023, from cbs news and the report states that a consultant for the property management company was so severely beaten and stopped by gang members. he had to go to the hospital and gang members allegedly stabbed a whispering pines resident for paying money to the gangs. they're demanding protection

money and we've never heard of these things here in america. what else happens here? the town is getting support and pushing back and the governor and even a lot of people on the left are saying oh, those complaints are racially mot motivated. >> this is not racially motivated and they're actually happening and people are actually being hurt, and they're not doing anything about it and rather push back on us and try to spin it towards a racial aspect and they would to actually go out and investigate crimes. rachel: thousands in colorado and do you think there's an

impact on the election and are the people of colorado connecting this crime wave and this increase and gang activity. >> this is biden harris administration and chaos at the border and 42,000 migrants being swung overseen by this county and also like just this week he said we don't know how many more and this border is so porous and many unvetted young men and this is a symptom of the problem we're seeing and seeing crimes start to be on the up rise and people have this administration and what happened in last three and a half years is pure chaos at the border. rachel: these two were apprehended in eagle pass and think about how many got aways and gang members was even worse records and histories have come

through undetected by our border patrol. john, thanks for joining us and highlighting this issue. appreciate it. good luck on your race. >> thank you. rachel: american kids are falling further behind in school and next guest argues that the education system started falling apart long before the pandemic.

charlie: a new survey shows nearly one-third of k-12 students are behind in their grade level. the western region is performing the worst with nearly 40% of state of the unions behind their grade level and our next guest estimates the problem is even worse than that. cofounder mary cantwell joins us

now. they're shocking and probably not as surprising is they might be and it's shocking and important to stop and look at numbers every now and then. what is causing this? >> well, charlie. there's several factors like covid learning loss but there's more than that. a new york times article clearly states in half of the states in our nation, reading scores plummeted. this is a 2019 article. prior to school chose yuri colinses in march of 2020. covid just literally exacerbated this problem and made it so much

bigger. charlie: 3% in detroit in math? >> pre-pandemic, that number was 6%. charlie: beyond the -- what are the blow down a bit in terms of covid. obviously that exacerbated everything. what are the other problems in terms of -- weariness just not teaching kids how to read and how to do math. this is the best and only way schools should teach children how to read. we adapted the columbia university and i want to believe everyone was very well intensed here to provide inner city

children with more rich text, if you will. not those sort of boring stefanik leaders that want to work, you don't teach children more than a tax strategy and they can't read this wonderful rich text and children were literally being told and look at pictures and guess the words on the page. charlie: that's amazing. charlie: it's 55% of new york city third graders are below the line and what do you have to do to fix this. >> obviously there's a teacher shortage that needs talented people that encourage children

to attend school and absenteeism issue and going in the country and 26% chronic absenteeism and if you're not in school, you're not going to learn. leadership, teachers, curriculum having courage to adapt. charlie: the idea we have to do something to make things feel safe and in the classroom, kids are not going to learn if you have, if that's even a problem you have to address. >> that's right. it's a big problem. charlie: incredible. thank you for the work you do. it's the lord's work and must be done if we want to keep our country. thank you, mary cantwell. kamala harris painting herself as tough on crime.

police deciding to endorse donald trump. >> it's pretty extensive as well and our members get to make decisions and as a result we have members across this country that are making this election between two candidates based off of what lawler we're seeing is work for president trump and much of that probably has to do with the revolving door of criminal justice system and open boarders and we voted yes today and he took the poll across the country and it was overwhelming for president trump. will: vice president harris was re-branding herself for law and order and has herself as the prosecutor for the people and. how did that resinate with your officers.

it's very real and understand it's part of the system and this truly understands and we see every day what's happening within our criminal justice system. from across this country. it's not hard for us to kind of weed through what is reality and what is maybe perception by some people. we know what's happening across the country and we know when we take violent criminals out of lives of people they prey on, we have the ability to reduce crime and that's not what we've seen and we see a revolving door process in this country and going to continue it. will: here's what harris is saying about her approach to crime. >> i took on prep raters of all kinds, predators that becaused win, fraudsters who ripped off

consumers. cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. will: that's what she's saying today. but she said -- or rather a police chief when she was district attorney said this about her leniency. this proposal asks us not to arrest and detain and as a little bit of what you describe there a reality on the streets in what you experience verse the current branding? >> i'll say this, we can listen to what you say and take her on her word and see what he produces. we members know reform of the criminal justice system and we're proud to be part of that and the commission on law

enforcement and working towards real solutions to fixing problems is something we've been able to do with president trump. my members know that because they were part of that journey in contrasting where we are now today in society and that drove their decisions and those are interesting and we need to recognize they're the prompter of every state and they're all over for president trump. will: i took an informal poll and what percentage of navy seals support donald trump? 99% and a small adjustment made for the officer class seeking higher careers and adjusting

down to 98%. i'm curious and what was the vote for trump versus hairs are on the endorsement? >> the internal process and 370 some thousand members and not here to tell you they all agree with this and all have mitt cal reasons why and i respect every one of them and i respect the process. that allowed our members to be part of this discussion and make this decision. when that vote was taken yesterday, i will tell you it was overwhelming in support of president trump. will: no numbers but overwhelming is what you're leaving me with? >> overwhelming. will: we appreciate you being with us this morning. and contributing to this election in form of endorsement and explaining it to us on "fox & friends". thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. will: patrick yoes. today on fox, it's the long horns versus wolverines and adam is standing by with fox sport's own brady quinn.

in notre dame. big 10 last week was 17-1. sec cannot say that. reporter: last week when i was with you in west virginia, before your guy's broadcast, you pulled out some of the rotc kids and then you talked about the veterans who were in the crowd and you got the whole crowd chanting usa, usa, usa. why do you do that and what does it mean for you? >> it's a 30 goal foundation and going for grandfathers and we're going there across the kickoff and going for us. we're going on these and going for them and what to do first.
