♪ will: yeah, that's broken bow, oklahoma. charlie. charlie: do you know that? will: the producers are doing a phenomenal job, because last weekend i had a family weekend -- wedding in northeastern arkansas. and i'm from north,, so i drove through the eastern side of oklahoma, and i did it intentionally -- rachel: how long did it take for you to to get there? will: five hours. by the way, get off the interstates. i know everyone knows. that you see america. yeah, i drove through oklahoma because i wanted to see that -- i know it, i've been up there, in fact, i'll be doing thanksgiving this year in broken bow. charlie: really? will: yeah. it's mountainy over there. my big trach theaway -- takeaway

is there's so many beautiful compers of america s and you wouldn't know this about -- corners of america, and you wouldn't mow this about southeastern oklahoma. i had that weekend, and i guess he's my if step dad, but he married my mom when i was in my tos, so i never really called him my step dad, he's my friend. it was his daughter getting married, and he gave a really awesome speech. he had one little turn the of phrase that i just want to to share, and he goes -- he was talking about in-laws, and he said i've gotten to know all of them, and they're people. and i latched on to that. as i sat there around all my people, you need people in this world, you know? it's your family, it's your community. it's like that's how we build society. you've got to go through this world with your people. rachel: yeah. i'm really glad you took the day off and went with your people. you came back refreshed. will: it was nice. rachel: you know what's not

refreshing, the jobs numbers that the just came out. [laughter] they're not very good for kamala harris. 142 jobs added in august a, 1600,000 expected, number of jobs to be added. we're going to talk a little bit later, you guys, about how the job growth has been with monocitizens. it's astound thing -- noncitizens. here's donald trump, by the way, this is an ad that he put out, and as soon as i saw it, i said to the producers, i'm, like, i know campaign ads -- charlie: it's a good one. rachel: my husband was in congress for 10 years, i think we had fabulous campaign ads. not only was it effective, this is a very cheap ad to the make, and it is the best i've ever seen. listen. >> everyday prices are too high. it feels so hard to just be able to get ahead. and prices are still too high. we did it, we did it, joe. rachel: that's only 10 seconds of it. the whole ad is her talking about that how bad the economy,

the country, the border everything is. and at the end of everything they go, we did it, joe, we did it. [laughter] so good. charlie: and there are two great things. you made a great point about how cheap it is. rachel: yeah. charlie: the other thing is, there's no cackling. they're not going with the cackling. you'd think the cackling would be her biggest problem, but it's t not. it's actually -- rachel: we did it. charlie: -- the terrible things she says. the other thing is she can hide from the press all she wants to, all that means is the trump cam patienting they just use all the a stuff -- campaign, they just use all the stuff she said before -- rachel: if you haven't seen the ad, just google, we did it. will: one more note on the job numbers. 1432,000, fewer than projected 160,000, you shouldn't acknowledge these numbers without also saying the huge revision that just took place on the previous job numbers. rachel: yes. will: i think we should take

that with a healthy level of skepticism. rachel: that's a good point. charlie: and they have revised throughout this entire administration, downward revision of all of these numbers. every time they come out with these numbers, they lie, and they always lie in the same direction. rachel: it's interesting because it's the like what you said last night. i watched you on jesse, and they will say a lie, in this case you were talking about what they said about j.d. vance, what they said that j.d. vance said which wasn't in properer context, but but then the correction -- will: never. rachel: hay announce these numbers and give a correction that you never hear about. charlie: obviously, vice president harris is looking to spin it. listen to this. >> the work that i have done, for example, that has resulted in latino small businesses growing faster in this moment in history, in these last three and a half years than ever before has a lot to do with the work that i have done to the build up community banks and put more money into community banks so that those dollars can get into

the community small businesses. not to mention if his policies that essentially would be a national sales tax. by hiking up the cost of everyday necessities by 20%. so i think it's important for people to not get distracted by, you know, his name on a tower when really we a ought to look at the fact that he bankrupts businesses that he's involved in, and economists having talked about his plan and how it will contribute to the america's deficit and actually cost american middle class families more than they are paying now. rachel: so, you guys, that is the a phone call that she made to univision, so this is a message to latino voters. that's your message to latino voters that you are bleeding that actually could make or break this election for you? that was gobbledygook, not touching on anything that actually impacts hispanic voters like inflation.

you know, what she's going to do about a job growth. the border, the crime that they're living through. i mean, we've been reporting from latino neighborhoods whether it's in pennsylvania or here in new york city. she didn't touch on one thing that i heard the people that the i interviewed talk about and care about. this is a mess. and, by the way, the fact that she phoned that in is embarrassing. charlie: yeah. literally phoned it in. and the reason is because you know she's -- we didn't hear the papers turning this time, but you know she's reading can concern. rachel: no. some of them you could hear. yeah, it was incredible. will: you mentioned this earlier, and again, this ties into the jobs numbers. this is really fascinating. so over the last 12 months, we talk a lot about the job numbers, the american-born workers, there has been 1.3 million jobs lost by u.s.-born

workers. that's down. again, i want to emphasize down 1.3 million. while 1.2 million jobs added for foreign-born workers. whenever you see those numbers about a jobs being added, for who? i think it's a very legitimate question. charlie, we talked about for h-1b visas? who are we talking about? rachel: what's interesting is we don't know. are these h11b -- h-1b visa workers? we don't know. if. charlie: but we know for a fact at least some of them are the illegal migrants participating in the economy. if. rachel: sure. charlie: and, of course, both parties, this has been a growing problem for a long time, both parties have ignored this problem for decades, and donald trump is the only politician to come along to recognize this problem. and when he did, he got absolutely destroyed by both parties for pointing it out. rachel: but the people, the people like that message. and, by the way, hispanics, you

know, think about cesar chavez. chavez was against illegal immigration because he understood that pushed down the wages of the working class. will: yeah. rachel: here's j.d. vance talking about what immigration -- that harris' immigration policies favor illegals over native-born hispanic, white, whatever. listen. >> what kamala harris seems to want to do is to give all the benefits of american citizenship to people who shouldn't even be here, and that's going to bankrupt this country. and make it impossible for normal people to afford to buy a home, to afford to buy groceries, to to benefit from that social safety net. >> would a second trump administration reinstate its policy of separating families who cross the southern border ail illegally? >> well or, look, let me sort of reject the premise if a little bit. when the media says family separation, every time someone's arrested for a crime, that's family separation. if a guy commitments gun

violence and is taken to prison, that's family separation. you've got to prosecute criminals, and you have to enforce the law. the real family separation policy is when you don't enforce the border like kamala harris has refusedded to do, then you lead to hundreds of thousands of missing children. rachel: amen on that. that's family separation. why do we have unaccompanied children incentivizes to come across the border, and then we let them fall into the hands of human traffickers? that has not been put on the plate. will: he's really good. rachel: he is. he did a great job. will: explaining points, family separation's become a talking point, you know, comparing it to any other crime. there's always family separation when you arrest someone for committing a crime. here's what i latched on to to and, again, tying it into what we're talking about with foreign-born workers, the question you need to be asking is here are you here to serve? who are you asking to be an elected representative of? the policies of harris and walz seem to suggest on many of the most important issues, people

that don't live in america or shouldn't be living in america meaning they're here illegally. we should be adding jobs for people who live in america, enforcing laws for people who live in america, should be make social services available for people who live in america. this is the point -- rachel: who are citizens. will: -- of being the point of the united states of america. rachel: yeah, it's about citizenship, which has been completely devalued by this administration. and by the way, will and charlie, it would be -- let's say we were now living in donald trump's economy where, you know, everyone's doing better, everyone's -- maybe you could make the case for helping out people who aren't citizens here. but when you have your own people unable to putted food on the table, when you have so many families sacrificing because the economy is so bad but you're willing to give freebies out people who broke our laws, many of them criminals? i mean, i bet those guys from trend derag what in aurora are getting government services. and it's shameful.

charlie: this is why the great new political front -- problem tore for democrats is to figure out how to get illegals in the country now a way to vote. t the not a conspiracy if theory, that's what they want to do. they're working towards that because -- rachel: they might already be doing that. [laughter] charlie: okay, so on to this, boeing's starliner spacecraft finally returning to earth, touching down in the new mexico desert oversight. -- overnight. rachel: months after its first crewed test flight stranded two astronauts on the international space station, and now we're learning they might have been able to the successfully return9 with the starliner. will: jonathan serrie joins us from cape canaveral. >> reporter: good morning. in the days leading up to this, there was actually a tense meeting between massa and boeing engineers -- nasa and boeing engineers discussing and debating whether it was safe to put astronauts on that a return starliner flight. boeing said its spacecraft was

up to the task, but nasa decided to play it safe because of concerns about thruster problems that developed earlier in the mission. as it turned out, starliner made a safe landing overnight at a remote desert site in new mexico. >> if we'd had a crew onboard, we would have flown the same backaway sequence from the space station and the same deorbit burn and executed the same entry. so it would have been a safe, successful landing with the crew onboard had we have had butch and sunny onboard. >> reporter: nasa officials say they have no regrets erring on the side of caution, and their test flight achieved 8ing 5-90% of its mission objectives even with no restaurants on the return flight. -- astronauts. starlineer pilots butch wilmore and sunny williams will remain on the international space station until february and return to earth with the upcoming crew 9 mission aboard a spacex drag gone space craft. dragon.

as for starliner, the capsule will be brought here to the florida space coast for further investigation at kennedy space center and also for refurbishment for potential future flights. back to you guys. charlie: i don't believe any of these things. will: all right. thank you, jonathan. he's talking about poll numbers, by the way, not reports from space -- [laughter] about to go over some poll numbers as we have the gubernatorial candidate eric lovety -- senate candidate. i looked at you, and this is wisconsin. senate candidate coming up in just a moment. but now, a few additional headlines. police arresting a man accused of pointing a rifle from the balcony of a condo in miami after more than an hour-long standoff with a s.w.a.t. team yesterday. neighbors saw him waving the rifle around just before 4 p.m., and he surrendered soon after. officers believe he was going through a mental health crisis. nobody was hurt during the incident. big lots is reportedly preparing to file for chant

gasoline, energy, you know, housing costs. and, by the way, has everybody looked at their auto insurance bill the last few months? these are the issues that matter the most to people. and then you have markets like milwaukee where crime has become a major problem. people are concerned about health care costs and access to care. up in the north woods where rachel used to live, getting access to health care has become a real acute problem. rachel: yes. >> so, you know, these are the issues. it's the pocketbook issues, the things that affect people's lives every day that really are the things that matter most. will: one of the things that we know that impacts people's lives, eric, is illegal immigration. it impacts people's lives in many different ways, and one of the things highlighted recently is what we saw in colorado with the venezuelan gang take thing over apartment blocks, but we know it's happening in wisconsin, the very same gang.

state. and the fentanyl, we lost 108,000 americans last year, but in wisconsin, it touched wisconsin in a very profound way. i mean, this fentanyl crisis is killing young americans. it's the number one killer of americans from 18 to 45. so the crime issues, the fentanyl issues, the, you know or compounding the problems of access to to housing and health care are, you know, are all being ripple effects on our state because of this illegal immigration. rachel: well, eric, a lot of people saying that kamala harris learned how to hide in this election from her boss, joe biden. i think it's from tammy if baldwin. she's been doing this for a long time. we're hoping you can smoke her out and we can get to know what she really believes and really face the voter, because she's done this for a decade or more. >> 100%. she's only given me one debate, usually you get three to four. she doesn't answer questions by the press. she runs back in our state as a moderate, and she's voted

♪ many. ♪ rachel: advocates are sounding the alarm on america's baby bust as our country's birthrate hits a record low. last year about 3.5 million children were born in the u.s. that's the lowest number of births since 1979. our next guest says the downward trend is, quote, and this is from her op-ed in the washington examiner, it says a reflection of a society increasingly soaked in ap anti-family ideology that views children as burdens rather than blessings. if a society that fails to value children is one that risks losing its sense of purpose, continuity and responsibility. joining me now is sarah gable see bert, cofounder and president of every life. sarah, it's so great to have you on, and i thought your op-ed was so beautiful. and what a lot of people will blame the low birth rate on

economics, you know, the economy's not doing well. but you're saying this is a much deeper cultural problem. explain. >> that's correct. thank you, rachel, for having me. it's an honor. the birthrate today is at 1.6 babies per woman. in order for us to have a healthy, sustain thing future for our country -- sustaining, we need that replacement rate to be at minimum at 2.1. it's really interesting that in the 1950s the rate was at about 3.4. so you can see that our birthrate is plummeting, and this is the a problem that we should all be focus on. we need a country that is pro-life, pro-familying, pro-freedom, and we don't have enough company, we don't have enough people that are supporting these families or or that are going above and beyond to say, hey, we know that in order for us to have a long sustaining future, we have to have strong families. and at a every life, we are doing that every single day. we are the first and only

pro-life diaper company on the market today. believe it or not, every other company is supporting abortion either vocally or financially, and we decided to be the solution for parents that are passionate about shopping their pro-life values and knowing with the blessed assurance that they're partnering with a cane that's give -- company that's to giving back. we've had the opportunity to have giving out over 1.7 million diapers to moms in urgent need, and this is how we see a culture shift to one that the celebrates every my ab rack louse life. -- miraculous life. rachel: as soon as i start learning about your companies, i switched valentina if over. you are donating so many to moms in need. but i think it's really interesting, you laid out in this op-ed the economic case for having children, but you also laid out something that it's really harder to give data on which is sort of the spiritual,

fulfilling meaning in life reason to have children. i think so many young people, they come to me and i'm sure they come to you, and they want life advice. i always tell them, yeah or, follow your dreams, your career's great, but it will never fulfill you the way a family will, the way children will. and i just think there's so many really dangerous messages that are, ultimately, will change their lives for the rest of their lives p. if you don't get started falling in love and having a baby now, it's not going to happen or a -- or it's a lot harder to do much later, you know? >> that's correct. and it's wild to think that 34% of young people today are actually considering not having children at all. 23% are actually saying that due to their concerns to climate change, they don't want to bring a child into the world was they see it -- because they see it as a threat or a cancer to society. and what we're saying at every life is that's not true. the best thing you can ever embark upon is becoming a parent. children are a gift, they're a

blessing. they're our hope, our future, and we need to start seeing more people lift this mindset of seeing children as a burden or something that's going to stop you from being able to pursue your dreams and your career and actually begin to see it as something that's going to make you a better person. i know as a single mom, i'm stronger, i'm wiser, i'm more patient, i'm more loving, i'm more compassionate. i'm actually better at my job because of my daughter. so i can't say enough good things about parenthood and life. and we're going to continue as a company to never stop the singing our praises about being a parent, because it is the best job that one could ever embark upon. rachel: amen to that. listen to sarah, not that weirdo, bill gates, telling you not to have kids. the motto of your company, make more babies, sarah, we thank you so much for joining us. fantastic message, we need it. >> thank you for having me. rachel: you got it. the the dates, deadlines and differences. it's a big week in the leadup to the election. what you need to know ahead of the debate and early voting, or

democrats rely on low propensity voters, and so they want more days to get people who don't really want to show up. will: early voting has been, you know, traditionally avoid the line, get here a week, two weeks earlier, but it's been expanded to to months now. take a look at a what the candidates look like across the country. north carolina was scheduled to start yesterday with their early voting, with their absentee and mail-in voting. this has been pushed back because of the rfk decision. but pennsylvania will start, you know, september 16th. and it follows from there. wisconsin, look at michigan, september 2 1st. charlie: so almost all of these except for maybe michigan and georgia are going to -- no, and michigan -- will occur before the one and only debate we have, which is a real problem. you have people casting ballots, and we saw this in 2020 where, and this is not scientific, but it's the significant. you had a lot of people who were

doing search terms how do i switch my vote after one of the debates. will: well, and here's the schedule, september 10th is the first debate, so right before -- charlie: the only debate. will: the only debate. and it's shocking as we expand this into election season, as we point out, this whole thing we're talking about, in 2020 mail-in, absent teerks early voting accounted for 69 of the total vote. i mean, that is insane, charlie. of the that, the vast majority was mail-in balloting. charlie: yeah, no, it really does show, it's an important reminder how much all of this has changed for us. obviously, we have the debate on september 10th and then we'll have the vance-walz debate on october 1 -- will: to your point, much of the early voting, the mail-in ball old otting starts before this -- charlie: yeah, pretty much all of it. and then, obvious, a month and a couple of days later, election day. which will be probably the day i still go if out and vote.

but actually covering campaigns for years, i always had to either vote absentee or -- will: because you were traveling. charlie: i i was traveling with a candidate on election day. will: right. to the point of kamala harris being a hidden candidate, you can see how the strategy plays out. knotts that big of a lift to say just hide her, don't do interviews for another couple of weeks and then the voter votes with very little information at their hands about who is actually the person running for president. charlie: but the flipside of that is that's why i think in this election television ads are going to wind up being a very important part of it. if we can't get kamala harris to talk about -- answer questions, then the trump campaign is just going to have her answer the questions that they want her to. and it's not going to work out as with well for her that way. will: find yourself -- if you don't define yourself, somebody will define you. are you ready for some football? adam is lye in ann around a bor.

charlie: and we have our own tailgate on fox square. you don't want to miss the queso dip recipe. ♪ the lungs and lower airways. but i'm protected with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd and certain other conditions. but i'm protected. arexvy is proven to be over 82% effective in preventing lower respiratory disease from rsv and over 94% effective in those with these health conditions.
