development we could see over next few days. tropical moisture off coast of georgia and carolinas. we have this frontal boundary sticking around and potential for this to develop, we think is the window on sunday through monday and tuesday. high pressure will guide this area of low pressure inland, even if it does not get a name, it could bring happy rainfall. this is rain still to come from what is left of francine and this area of development off the coast that could bring potential for heavy rainfall over four to five days. there is what we're looking at in the tropics, it is peak season and we of course need to monitor this. take a look at your forecast today. that area of low pressure that made landfall across louisiana a couple days ago, we could see potential for heavy rain across southeast. no rain for the west, which they need with all of the fires burning.

i will tell you the high fire danger starts to lesson as we go through the weekend and that should help firefighters. they need moisture, we won't see wind gust and excessive heat we have seen over last several weeks. happy friday. >> carley: best day of the week. >> todd: need it this week. >> carley: fox news alert. thousands of boeing employees walked off the job near seattle overnight, after 96% of union workers voted to go on strike because of contract offer does not include 25% pay raise they were asking for. this is first strike of boeing in 16 years. the strike will likely lead to massive production delays at time when boeing is trying to increase plane production. boeing says they will continue negotiating with the union for a new contract. and justin timberlake will

borrelli voted against the bill. san francisco attempted to form a similar task force last year that was denied by it is city mayor. >> todd: the city is flushed with cash, i drove over dollar bills today. trump heading to nevada and vice president harris to pennsylvania. new polling shows couple key swing states are toss-ups. latest fox news power rankings show trump has lost his edge in north carolina and georgia. joining me is horald, lydia and john, voter panel. polls are important, we can't d discount that. voters like you matter, your vote is counted in the end. john, you own black market barbecue, you are talking to customers, what do customers tell you about the two candidates? >> the interaction with my customers, they are 99%

pro-trump, along with me. we're tired of not having any money in our pocket and tired of being lied to. to our faces. does not matter if from the debate, hearing kamala talk, come on, she's trying to do the soviet style price fixing to try to take care of what the -- what she's calling price gouging. she has no idea root cause of their problem is price of energy and price of fuel because that dictates the economy and when prices are high for fuel, it is more expensive for goods to get where they are going. she has never bought groceries or gas in the past in 15 or 20 years, she is so disconnected from regular folks. i have no faith in what she has

to offer, she has not said what she is offering and frankly i don't think she knows. it is what her handlers tell her to say and do. to me, she's a puppet for the demo democratic party to regain power, she's willing to say and do anything. >> she is getting credit for the debate, you mention lies, here is a brief list. attributing project 2025 to trump, dredging up trump's charlottesville comments, saying donald trump opposed ivf, the list goes on and on. this economy is going to decide this election. the economy will decide it. at two rallies, the pair touted their individual economic plans. watch. >> i have a plan to lower the cost of living for america's families on healthcare to groceries. i will always put the middle

class and working families first. we'll bring back the american dream, bigger, better and stronger than ever before. right now people can't afford cereal. we will deliver low taxes others low regulation, low special rates, low inflation. >> todd: you are in nevada, do you trust kamala when she says that she will put the middle class first? >> we cannot afford another four years of democrat in office. it is simple, we can't afford kamala to be in office. this democratic diet we were put on last three years is not sustainable. we need to vote for trump and other candidates like sam brown and keep pushing. trump policies worked, we had a better economy under trump.

i cannot be on another democratic diet for another four years. >> todd: harold, talking about crime, harris neglecting to mention crime, trump put her and fbi on full blast. >> she was movement to defund the police, all of a sudden, no, i never said it. the public was not fooled, they saw through it. kamala's lies like crime statistics. fbi did not report most crime-ridden cities. if anybody in this audience does not think there is more crime, there are, they gave false numbers. >> todd: harold, you are a former nypd police officer, y. kamala harris is soft on crime and soft on criminals, is that message getting through to north

carolina voter? >> well, i'm skeptical, most voters are misinformed and they make bad decisions and put bad people in office. as far as crime goes, if you numbers, you can control statistics. nypd has been fudging numbers for years, it is no accident. how many people are not reporting crime because nothing is going to get done? nobody asks that question. >> todd: that is an important point, before i got into this business, i was unaware there was such numbers fudging. if that information is not getting through to people of north carolina, nevada and georgia, that gives kamala an edge. we'll see if the edge continues. harold, lydia and john, interesting stuff coming out of swing states. staying in a swing state, fani

team in georgia have prevailed again. grand jury indicted trump and 18 others on charges they attempted to overturn the 2020 election result in georgia. four defendants pleaded guilty and the judge dismissed six other charges against trump, he still faces eight counts. case thrown into limbo, when improper affair was revealed between fani willis and nathan wade, the prosecutor. wade was removed. separately a georgia senate commit is investigating misconduct against willis related to interest and misuse of tax dollars. willis's attorneys she will not cooperate until there is judicial determination of validity of the subpoena. that subpoena demand willis turn over e-mails and texts between

wind up in your community? >> by sheer inkocompetence of t harris border czar and fact minnesota, minneapolis are sanctuary towns and cities. this person came into the united states through el paso sector with known venezuelan gang tattoos. the person never should have entered the country to begin with, it is part of biden-harris policy. later they were arrested for possession of stolen property and released because they are sanctuary state and arrested two hours east of here in madison, wisconsin, for nearly identical set of crimes except for sexual assault and made their way here and brutalized a mom and

daughter over days les than half a mile from where four of my gr grandchildren live. this person should have been stopped at the border and arrested in minneapolis and deported. if that did not happen, should have been arrested in dane county and deported. this is inkocompetence of biden-harris administration. >> carley: if this person is in a community like yours, gang members could be in small communities, rural towns across the country. you mention he had venezuelan tren de aragua tattoos on his body, that is something we keep hearing about. does border patrol check for o identifiers like that and keep missing them? what is going on with that? >> we sent a letter to secretary of homeland security asking that

specifically. i've been to the border three times, i know when people enter the country they get a medical screening. if they are not screening for known gang tattoos, they are failing at their job. i don't think people understand what the tattoos mean. this is not a harley davidson tattoo, if you have one of these tattoos and you're not a member of that gang and you are caught by that gang, they will cut it off your body while you are alive and kill you. it is not a tattoo, it is a brand. it is frustrating when people use word suspected gang member. when you have these tattoos, you are a member of that gang. i would like to say one thing, if i could, we are a small community in this district is agcentric, we have a lot of hispanic workers here working in dairy and crop industries and they have come here lawfully and

are working very hard and keeping our economy going. this has nothing to do with legal immigration. people are trying to conflate this to sound like republican party is racist and we do not want people here from foreign countries, that is not true, i rebuke that. this is about illegal alien being allowed in with gang tattoos, being arrested for violent crimes and then brutalizing a mom and daughter. it is .9 miles from where i'm doing this interview now. >> carley: they are wearing their association on their body informing us all they are a part of these criminal organizations and we're welcoming them into our country, which is something that absolutely needs to stop and be reversed. thank you for joining us, we're sorry this happened in your

>> todd: that is vice president harris saying goldman sachs endorses her economic plan. that claim has been debunked. cheryl casone has details. >> cheryl: good morning, todd. vice president harris made that claim about goldman sachs at the debate tuesday night and continued saying it in north carolina yesterday. the company's ceo david solomon says the analysis she's referring to is not as big of a deal as she is making it for them. >> i think a lot more has been made of this than should be. what the report did is look at handful of policy issues put out by both sides and tried to model their impact on gdp growth. reason i said bigger deal been made of it. it showed difference in set of

policies is 2 -10ths of 1%. >> cheryl: he said could result in slight boost to gdp based on their proposed policies. harris' economic plan includes child tax credit, housing assistance and no taxes on tips. david solomon said -- would be implemented. margins and numbers were so small. when you come out and say, i've got this endorsement, it was disingenuous to present it that way. >> todd: fun fact, david solomon is a dj in his spare time, if you can't believe a dj, who can you believe? former president announcing new plan to end taxes on overtime. >> cheryl: i wonder how soon until kamala harris to pick up on this know wo, it is a very

good idea and does appeal to workers. former president trump did announce he will end all taxes on overtime pay if elected. >> we will end all taxes on overtime. you know what that means? think about that. that gives people more incentive to work. people who work overtime are among the hardest working citizens in our country. no one in washington is looking out for them. >> cheryl: trump is proposing to reduce corporate tax rate to 15% and tariffs on products overseas, no tax on tips. he was out in nevada when he brought that to our attention and social security benefits, as well. so look, harris-walz spokesperson called out the proposed plan ands only one candidate will fight for

workers, that is vice president kamala harris. again, another good idea that appeals to the working class. >> todd: another example of kamala harris continuing to talk in platitudes and donald trump saying specifically, i'm going to do a, b, c, d. see what happens. don't mess cheryl casone on mornings with maria. thank you. >> carley: the harris campaign is making new push for rural voters. according to politico, "as part of broad plan campaign promises federal investment for rural communities and warns trump's policies will leave rural america behind and her team is opening door for more media interviews, but they won't be on national media outlets." joe concha joins me now. good morning. she now has a rural engagement director. do you think this push into rural communities will pay off?

>> joe: no, not in any way, shape or form. >> carley: okay, interview over. >> joe: have a good weekend everybody. kamala harris is an elitist. i don't know how if you declare, we're for rural communities and federal government is here to save you. the old saying from reagan, worst seven words you could hear, i'm from the government and i'm here to help. if you have never cared about a community before, will it resonate? >> carley: saying california is agriculture state, that is where she's from. not that region, though. facing criticism for being too walled off, harris opens door to more media interviews. her campaign says she will do interviews with local news outlets. she will talk to media more. is this risky, smart, what do you think?

>> joe: seven weeks since she became democratic nominee and yet to do a solo interview, not one. she did one with tim walz, like a parent-teacher conference. she wants to be president of the united states and can't sit down with a mostly friendly press. you can't put her on "the view" or in front of rachel maddow. no interview will be done unless the ground rules are agreed to, including all topics and questions provided in advance and you can't pull a timor russ, he used to play a sound bite and say what changed since you said this, that will not be allowed. there will not be a actual press conference.

if they have momentum and here we are and she did not do one interview, what does that tell us? they are petrified of any environment that can't be scripted and rehearsed where they know what is coming and that is so telling of a presidential candidate. take it away. >> carley: she's talking to local battleground states, not the media. i want to talk about international trend we're seeing, where countries are cracking down on misinformation on social media. it started with brazil with ban of x and now australia has a bill that will fine 5% of revenue if they fail to stop the spread of misinformation online. there are statements saying kamala harris supports crack d

down. >> joe: what is misinformation? she also supported donald trump twitter account be ing shut dow. misinformation is whatever kamala harris and her administration deems is something dangerous, dangerous toer had, to administration would be something that opposes her or criticizes her fchl she wins, you will not recognize this country from first amendment standpoint, she's shown her hand, donald trump twitter account should be shut down, fox news, they may criticize me and should be shut down, you won't recognize this country, it is scary prospects, all i know is more speech is a good thing, not less. >> carley: back in time to 1984, not a good place to be. >> joe: i'm wearing unmatching socks. could not find anything, go

cookies of each candidate and track. showing trump leading by almost 5,000 cookies against the vp. that's a lot of sugar. kathleen locial the owner of that victory she joins me now. kathleen your customer is clearly voting with their mouth. when they order these cookies, are they telling you anything about their candidate preference when they order why are they preferring trump in such numbers? third number across. seeing people all over get niece cookies now. >> todd: please continue. >> they are telling us stories, a lot of people are upset right now with the cost of things. they are venting to us. but we stay neutral to everybody. we love all.

>> todd: understood. i'm glad you mentioned 2020. again, you have been doing this for a while. this is a tradition at your bakery. let's go over those 2020 numbers now. it was a much tighter race, trump reportedly leading biden by just 117 cookies. biden, of course, winning the presidential election. but, let's focus on that uptick in trump. you did say a lot of your product is going national. what do you think that says about the state of the race nationally not just in the very important swing state of pennsylvania? >> so, pennsylvania almost all of the shipping has been red. we only shipped seven packages of blue in the state of pennsylvania, so you know. yeah. it's pretty -- it's pretty amazing to me. i think that people support trump all over like the trump name actually brings in a lot of business for many people. and we have a bakery friend out in minnesota that's doing the

same thing. his margins are a little smaller than ours. they are closer. but people want the cookies. they want red cookies. i'm a small business owner. i have to sell them. >> todd: sure, understood. i'm glad you mentioned what goes into a cookie. the ingredients. because, as we all know though ingredients have gone up in price since biden and harris were sworn in office prices across the board. milk up butter, sugar up 47%. look at those eggs. eggs up a whopping almost 119%. kathleen, do you think those price increases that we see on the screen are leading you and, specifically, are leading your customers to creating this, what i'm going to call sweet lead for trump because they want change. they want prices to go down? >> so i think that people buying red cookies think exactly what you are saying. we just last week saw a 30%

increase on eggs overnight. overnight our eggs went up 30%. so i do believe that people buying the red cookies are agreeing to what you're saying. prices are high. prices are very high for us. we have not here raised our prices in three years on almost all items. we're trying to maintain the prices and have consumer confidence. but we're getting to the point right now where my husband says like this can't continue. like, things are just way too high. >> todd: understood. let's talk about how you got into this in the first place. you have been doing this for a few cycles now. >> yes. >> todd: how did you come up with this idea? >> it was just out of pure like we have to think out of the box. we're a small business. you cannot keep doing the same thing. you really do have to be creative. and in 2020, when the pandemic hit, we were almost at a point where we are like are we going to close the bakery? what is going to happen? i sat the employees down and we all agreed to do the cookies
