and with the kid gloves that they are treating the current vice president. it's just very evident. also think it rages people gets them excited and upset and off the couch, which is exactly what we need in order to win this election. not only the president. we have to take the senate. we have to take the house. we have to take our country back. >> todd: all about voter moneyization. congressman tony gonzales thank you for your time. i know you are the baseball correspondent but i'm going to take that 48th inching closer historic 50/50 season that doesn't mean he wins a lot of 50/50s at charity events. 11 more games to do it. breaking a sweat quality at bats which is what we do every morning on "fox & friends first." "fox & friends" right now. ♪ ♪ ♪

>> brian: i feel like we never left. we're back. fresh outfits, shower. at least three of us have. >> steve: i smelt irish spring. >> brian: absolutely. it's change of pleas. i like to smell irish. 6:00 a.m. on the east coast, wednesday, september 18th and this is "fox & friends." fox news alert. you are not going to believe this. israel reportedly rigged. hezbollah pagers with explosives months ago and sent them off with messages impersonating terror leadership. a live report from tel aviv. speaker mike johnson on that and more. >> ainsley: plus, trump makes his first public appearance second assassination attempt as he rallies new york voters today. and as kamala harris finally shows up to talk to the black journalist group, like trump did in july, they seem a little more welcoming for kamala harris. >> have you attacked black journalists calling them a loser saying the questions that they ask are, quote: stupid and

racist. why should black voters trust you? >> why is joy important to you to insert into this election? [laughter] be. >> brian: great one. i'm so -- i'm going to come up with it. i'm going to use joy in a sentence. >> steve: look at this dash cam video. we are showing you the video because an 8-year-old gerbil took her mother's car for a joy ride. >> brian: joy again. >> steve: stopping at target. and she is winning over the internet for it. >> ainsley: how did she touch the pedals? >> steve: she mowed down at least one mailbox. >> lawrence: she figured it out. >> ainsley: she got her latte. that's where they caught her. >> lawrence: "fox & friends" starts right now. remember, mornings are better with friends. >> steve: all right. 6:02 here in new york city on this wednesday. former president donald trump is holding a rally tonight in nassau county, new york. >> brian: nassau county, where

is that? >> ainsley: that's where you live, brian. >> brian: that's right i live there. security is top of mind since this campaign event comes days after trump was targeted second assassination attempt promise the arena where the rally is held will be the safest place in the country. commissioner ryder will take care of that. >> brooke singman joins us with all the details. >> good morning, you guys. the rally is set to start at 7:00 p.m. eastern time nassau coliseum. local police are working hand in hand with the secret service to make sure security is air tight. the arena where the rally is being held and the parking lot were completely locked down last night. for law enforcement to conduct a sweep. and everyone who was attending this rally will be screened through a single entry point for added layer of protection. now, trump says his team has long requested more security at his events, listen. >> we have long requested more people, more men and women. but more people. and because, you know, we have rallies, 50, 60,000. in new jersey we had 107,000

people show up. there has never been anything like it. and we have long-requested more people, that's true. that's true. that's the weakness. we need more people here for security. and we never seem to get that, and i think we are getting it now. somebody told me that they will be providing more people now. >> trump made his first in person remark since the second assassination attempt at a town hall in michigan last night. wesley routh to federal authorities talked about her experience with the suspect while in ukraine. listen. >> he had very bizarre and volatile tendencies. after knowing ryan for a while that he was a threat to others. i felt that it was necessary that he be reported to the proper authorities. it got to a point where i ended up leaving ukraine early on my first visit there because of ryan and i felt that i was in danger after a conversationed that i i had with him the rally

will focus on the immigration policies of vice president harris and mayor eric adams. >> ainsley: did you all see the video of donald trump with the mar-a-lago with the law enforcement officers from martin county? >> steve: it was great. >> ainsley: giving him the handcuffs that they used to detain the man who allegedly tried to shoot him the second time. >> steve: in fact, there you see him in the big room mar-a-lago shaking hands of the martin county sheriff's department, deputies and whatnot. thanked everybody. apparently the handcuffs that they used to detain the suspect in the assassination attempt they autographed them. >> lawrence: the big news also is that ron desantis is conducting through the state police his own investigation. so, if they don't do it in the right way, fbi, department of justice, just know there is going to be a second hand that's going to have their own investigation as well. >> brian: i cannot wait to find out if she wants her anonymity kept. i guess we will never find out.

who actually had the state of mind to take the picture and then they pushed her right over and they brought her over to the assailant, the suspect and they said is this the person you saw? absolutely. that's great thinking. great cooperation. and she followed all the way through. >> ainsley: jesse had soundbites of the lady who went over to ukraine with the suspect. >> lawrence: the nurse. >> ainsley: the nurse. she was very brave to go on jesse's show. we will show soundbites throughout the morning. you just saw the one with brooke. she was saying -- i watched the full interview. she had crazy things to say about this guy that he wanted to kill everybody. she was scared. she met with others to say to say you need to investigate this guy. >> brian: too crazy to fight with the ukrainians so sent back. who is supporting him? it looks like his wife, if that is his wife. >> ainsley: is that his wife? because the neighbor said he moved to hawaii with girlfriend. >> steve: could have been different people. brian she has the checkbook. >> steve: speaking of checkbooks, let's talk about

interest rates and the amount of money we pay on stuff. at 2:00 p.m. this afternoon the federal reserve is going to discuss a interest rate cut. how much a quarter point or half a point? >> ainsley: like 6%? like 5%? >> steve: if they down it a quarter point it just looks like they are doing something. but if they do it by a half a point, it's going to look like they are in charge. they have got a plan and they realize the situation is dire and it's time to do something. >> brian: and that plan is to get joe biden -- not joe biden kamala harris elected? because that would think -- you would think the market would really respond to that experts have said it's baked in .25% cut. but maybe if he goes half a percent it will put you upfueling the economy. this is what the expert say we only cut rates when we feel inflation is under control. they say inflation sunday control. right now as you look at the prices, where things are, from where they were four years ago.

>> lawrence: incredible. >> brian: haven't really moved. went up 9%. it just increased less ever since. >> lawrence: when you look at the big wall it really tells the story, gas up 35%. groceries, this is every day you are seeing 21% energy costs. 32%. that's your light bill. day care you are taking your kids there, 18%. ainsley, want to get it from there? >> ainsley: sure, rent is up 23%. car insurance -- i mean, these are things we have to have -- up 56%. transportation, if you take a bus or subway or even your car, 28%. and yesterday, you had donald trump in flint, michigan and then you had kamala harris talking to the national association of black journalists. they had different answers when they were asked what are you going to do to fix our economy. hers was a bunch of fluff. nothing specific. his was talking about that energy costs. it's up 32% and you said that's where we start. listen to the differences in their answers.

>> i'm a mom of three, a grandmother of seven, and three great grands. [applause] a registered nurse, retired -- retired nurse. so i know the cost that goes into raising children and running a household. >> yeah. >> people just can't survive now. how are you going to bring down the cost of food and groceries? >> we have to start always with energy, always -- i don't want to be boring about it, but there is no bigger subject. it covers everything. if you make doughnuts, if you make cars, whatever you make, energy is a big deal and we're going to get that it's my ambition to get your energy bill within 12 months down 50%. if i can do that. [cheers and applause] >> we have done a hell of a job. >> is the price of groceries still too high? yes. do we have more work do? yes. and i will tell you i do believe

that i offer a new generation of leadership for our country. and so my plan for the economy includes what i imagine and believe and call an opportunity economy. >> lawrence: unbelievable. the word salad, the not answering the direct questions. but it also highlights where donald trump is very well. when he is talking directly back and forth with the voter, the american people, they need do more of the town halls. and it's so funny because the kamala harris piece that they continue to say is the reason why she doesn't do many interviews is because she is going directly to the voter. you think the voter understands that type of policy? i'm not sure we even understand what she is saying. >> brian: she is not taking questions from the audience. taking questions from three hand-picked journalists. >> lawrence: that's true. >> steve: what we have seen with her appearances and second interview she has given. the challenge running as a sitting vice president where you

really don't want to disagree with the boss, the current president. because breaking with the president in public would be problematic. so, on x yesterday, politico posted a little tease of a story they have got. and the way they depicted it. harris' formula for national news media interviews don't make news. that's -- and that's exactly what if you watched them back-to-back you would realize she didn't have so many facts as she had feelings. she had feelings about things because she is not getting into things. we hear the verbiage is exactly the same because the campaign has focus grouped it. they know exactly what works. they can say something that sounds good. people don't know exactly what it is but it kind of sounds good. that's what we are going to get from here until november 5th. >> ainsley: i know what you are saying you don't want to break with the boss publicly. >> steve: you don't want to make

news. brian. >> ainsley: they already kicking him out and putting her in it. she has to prove i have better solutions for the economy because under our administration everything was up. we showed you the prices. she doesn't have solutions it's all a word salad about she grew up in a middle class. >> lawrence: lawns. >> ainsley: opportunity economy. give me specifics what you are going to do. donald trump says is he going to bring back the salt -- what do you call it the salt tax or deduction so you can deduct your state and local tax from your income. which new yorkers would love. connecticut would love. all the high tax states would love. he gives specifics. he talked about energy. is he going to lower your energy bill by 50% in the first 1 months. she is talking in word salads. opportunity economy, what is that going to do for us? >> steve: it sounds right we don't have the details. >> brian: thing with her is very simple. if you say i want to have a different direction on the economy break with your boss. describe the people you are going to hire. we are going do get people with

different new economic mind i will be bringing him in or her in. i will be looking to push it. it will be different in 2024. also call up joe biden, joe, i'm going to separate myself a little from you. i'm looking to get elected. right now people have a different feeling about the economy than you. do you understand that? good. that's how simple it would be. i don't think she is quick on her feet. has really no confidence. but the way she was handled at the black journalist conference compared to how trump was handled, you have to see it, you have to hear it to believe it. watch. >> so i was raised as a middle class kid. >> i grew up middle class kid. >> i grew up a middle class kid. >> i believe in the ambitions, aspirations, the dreams of 9 american people. >> you know, we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams. >> the ambition, the aspiration, the dream. >> i started my career as a prosecutor. >> i was a career prosecutor for most of my career. >> having a background as a prosecutor. >> i intend to create an

opportunity economy. >> developing and creating an opportunity economy. >> what i imagine and believe and call an opportunity economy. >> lawrence: it's the same exact way every time. look, i'm not -- i'm used to politicians having a stump speech. >> steve: right. >> lawrence: the good politicians have the same speech they give -- but you tweak it a little bit when you go to different states, different cities, make it more relatable. include a little sound more relatable to the sound but verbatim the same thing every single time seems more of a scripted moment and not a stump speech moment. >> steve: remember when she went to debate camp in pittsburgh, obviously they hammered in her head okay, these are the slogans and things you need to say to connect to people. people feel like they don't know enough about you. just repeat these things and we will be fine. and that is why she has not veered off script because they

think, according to their research, it's a winning recipe. >> brian: right now we are in a dead heat. so we will see. mark penn yesterday. i'm not sure if you have to say something new at some point. i thought, we'll see. >> lawrence: that's typically how the races are won. >> ainsley: race is less than 50 days ago. >> steve: 48 days. >> ainsley: she has to do introduces. if she continues to say the same message it gets old after a while we need specifics. >> lawrence: does it ever resonate with the voter that's what we are waiting to see. >> steve: we will know november 6th. >> lawrence: hezbollah is vowing to punish israel after accuses them of wounding thousands across lebanon by detonating explosives hidden inside pagers. >> brian: yeah. i have never seen anything like it and probably never will. mike tobin joins us live from tel aviv. it happened, what, around 3:30 local time yesterday, mike?

>> exactly and lasted about an hour. pagers started exploding all over lebanon. we know some of them exploded in syria as well. all tolled 3,000 pagers exploded yesterday. they beeped before they exploded. as a result a lot of the injuries are to the fingers for feel reached for pagers, some are to their eyes. they looked at the pagers a lot are to the west pocket area where people carry their pagers. hassan nasrallah ordered the use of pagers he thought it was too easy for israel to track or hack into smart phones. security experts say the explosions were more powerful than just a battery. so at some point the pagers were sabotaged. explosive charges and switches installed in each device. the pagers were a taiwanese brand. the chairman of that company says he licensed the name to a company out of europe bac. he says bac made the pagers reached out to that company.

nothing back yet. the u.s. says they didn't know anything about the attack in advance. >> i can tell you that the u.s. was not involved in it. the u.s. was not aware of this incident in advance and at this point we are gathering information. >> now hezbollah has blamed israel for the pager attack with a statement that reads in parted treacherous and criminal enemy will surely receive his just retribution for the sinful aggression from where it counts from where it doesn't count. the north of israel remains on afox news alert retaliation from hezbollah. already evacuated from the north as rockets and drones are fired almost every day. israel predictably is silent about this attack. guys, back to you in new york. >> brian: so, mike, the company, we thought, apollo, gold apollo was from taiwan. he said no. we sold that entity over to another company bac that's addressed in budapest. so, when it did arrive, somehow it seems as though the masad got to it, put some liquid into it

and a switch. then sent a signal at 3:30 it would heat up. and the heat would ignite the explosive liquid that would blow these people up on the battery. 3,000. so nine killed. but 3,000 people had their hands blown off. groins blown off. >> ainsley: some died. >> brian: some died including an iranian official. what is the reaction? i mean, this is stunning. >> if really is stunning. israel people are proud of that sawed operatives who at some point sabotaged that shipment of pagers that went off to israel. at least it is believed that the that sawed was involved in it. in lebanon pretty interesting attack. it does minimize not eliminate entirely. hezbollah pointing out the fact one little diller was killed when all the pagers starting exploding. when you have 3,000 damage.

why net is reporting that hezbollah had become suspicious of the pagers. so the reason the detonation happened yesterday afternoon was simply because israel was faced with a choice detonate these pagers at that time or don't don't detonate them at all if the hezbollah became suspicious of pagers and got rid of them. >> steve: in addition to impacting close to 3,000 members of hezbollah now they have taken out the central means of communication they have gotten recently. beyond that it softens the battlefield if you will. if you take out a bunch of the fighters don't necessarily have to kill them. jury them make all the medical staff busy dealing with them. second front going to open up

immediately following the pager attack. hospitals overwhelmed and a lot of staff busy. of course that didn't materialize though. >> brian: some exploded in syria. >> ainsley: thank you so much. >> brian: man, they got to be freaked out in lebanon. not only knowing where these higher ups were through intelligence. that's the attack from a month ago. explosives in iran blowing up the head of hamas. >> lawrence: what a massive win for israel though. >> steve: brilliant. >> ainsley: how would this work put the explosive device inside the pager? >> brian: it was liquid. >> steve: the boss said no more cell phones so they ordered 3,000 from this company in budapest. >> ainsley: it would have to be put in prior to them getting the pager. >> steve: somewhere along the line they put one or two ounces of explosives next to the battery according to the "new york times" who has spoke to american officials who spoke to people who won't actually tell them what happened we weren't

aware. which is why it came off. this administration would have stopped it. >> lawrence: 100 percent. >> carley: today house republicans are holding a hearing on the border crisis and how the biden-harris administration policies are effecting americans. lawmakers will hear from multiple witnesses, including a retired chief border patrol agent, aaron heike who joined "fox & friends first" earlier. >> the number of individuals coming across the border, the -- the numbers just continued to increase to the thousands and thousands each day. and we struggled mightily to return them back to their home countries. there is a significant threat out there that we don't know. there were times entire sectors across arizona, texas, and california that had no agent presence at all. >> carley: there have been over 8 million encounters under the biden-harris administration. and check this out. bumbling burglars falling through the ceiling of a cash

advance shop in atlanta almost landing on the store manager. police believe the thieves cut through the roof using power tools before dropping in and not sticking the landing. the crooks grabbed around $150,000 from the store safe. they are still on the loose. quite the video there dash cam video, speaking of incredible video out of ohio shows an 8-year-old girl behind the wheel of her mom's suv on her way to run some errands at target. listen to this 911 call from the driver who spotted her swerving all over the road. >> it looks like a kid. >> okay. it's a white nissan rogue? >> yeah. >> yeah. police say the child took her mom's car and drove 11 miles to target. officers found her inside shopping. the girl did confess to police that she hit a mailbox along the way. officials recapped the event on social media adding some humor to it saying not sure what she

bought or able to use target app. to save 5%. we did let her finish her frappuccino. we are not mean. they are saying kids are growing up faster and faster but this is ridiculous. >> steve: apparently she drove the car for 25 minutes. this goes to show you that kids don't understand how things work. she left the house on a sunday at 7:00 a.m. target is not going to be open at 7:30. >> brian: what was she thinking? >> steve: according to wewstv she walked in 400 bucks shopped around and checked out. >> ainsley: shy she had $400 steve i don't know. that kid is awesome. >> brian: tooth fairy under their game. >> ainsley: we need to hire this child because i have an 8-year-old i'm telling you she wouldn't be able to drive i don't know if she would have access to money. >> steve: i don't know if we can hire her because she is

grounded. >> lawrence: how did the kid know how to get to targets. >> brian: is this story true? >> steve: i hope so. we are a news channel. >> ainsley: i'm glad she is okay. took out a mailbox. >> brian: i have a lot of questions. >> ainsley: 23 minutes after the top of the hour. tulsi gabbard and riley gaines teaming up. they will tell us why this hour. >> brian: trump and harris get very different treatment during sitdowns with black journalists. >> asking black supporters to vote for you. why should black voters trust you? >> why is joy important to you to insert into this election? ♪ when you live with diabetes, progress is... having your coffee like you like it without an audience. ♪ [silence] the freestyle libre 3 plus sensor tracks your glucose in real time so everyone else doesn't have to, and over time it can help lower your a1c confident choices for more control of your life.

that are living within the community are listening to interview like this? are taking their talking points or do you think they are just going to vote differently? >> i think they are going to vote differently. what we have been see something a major -- amongst young black men. the numbers are showing that they are more shifting to donald trump. this going on all summer. the main reason why the harris campaign did this interview in the first place because of those numbers. they were actually thinking about not doing this interview going back to july when president trump did it. i think this really was a topic point when they saw the numbers and saw they are losing this base hey we can get it back with this interview. i'm sorry, that's was a little too little too late. >> lawrence: so her credit she said you have to work for the black male vote. okay. what is it going to take to win that vote for either candidate. what do black male voters want? i hear many people when i talk to them they are talking as the same thing as me. economy, they don't want the people coming across the border

taking their jobs. they don't want people taking over their community in the sense of their schools, their health centers. what are you hearing? >> i think those are all the same issues. what we have seen as well is we are seeing a major shift in black men. actually seeing increase among black republicans [inaudible] get involved in early vote. i think this vote is going to be a lot different. the democrats had their chance. i thought they maybe thought they would get interview black journalist association. what they are lacking right now is real facts. what are they going to do for the economy? what are they going to do for everyday american people. we do not need joy and platitude. what we need for the american people is a real plan. >> lawrence: yeah. when they say that they have a plan and things are going well, how do you think voters take that? >> it's just like basically it's pulling the wool over your eyes. if they had a plan? where has it been for the last three and a half years? we keep ha hearing harris saying she has a plan. she is going to do this and that.

that's all well and good. i'm sorry, donald trump said during the debate. why wasn't this taking place over the last three 23456 years? why hasn't she sat there and woken up joe biden hey let's do this, let's do that you were talking about earlier. we see car insurance increase upwards of 50%. we have seen groceries increase. we are seeing every day bills increase over and over and over again. that's where american people are getting upset overall. >> lawrence: it's impacting them on day-to-day basis. mr. piers, thank you for joining the program. >> thank you for having me back on. >> lawrence: today rapper sean "diddy" combs is behind bars expected to appeal those criminal charges. the next stepping in the criminal case. that's next. ♪

grooming others, eventually pulling them into sex trafficking. here to discuss is new york based trial attorney rebecca rose woodland. thank you for being with us. where does this go from here? it sounds like he is in a heap of trouble. >> this is very serious. he is facing life in prison. >> ainsley: is he really? that long? >> he was denied bail yesterday which is a very big issue. his attorneys are claiming they are going back at 3:30 p.m. to see a different judge to request that that issue be revoked and that he be remanded to his home and that he was going to put up his home in miami for collateral. but, the judge yesterday stated that he has anger and substance abuse issues and that he spoke to witnesses potential witnesses with the intonight coerce them to testify differently or, i guess, not to testify. so aside from a risk of flight, which he has substantial asset

to enable, i think the judge is concerned about some other issues regarding the potential trial and witnesses therein. so, you know, they are going back 3:30 p.m. do i think that they will be successful? no, i don't. >> ainsley: it sounded like yesterday when i watched the press conference this was a big operation. a lot of staff members working behind the scenes to get these hotel rooms ready houses ready. ordering cases and cases of different items like baby oil and lube krantz and things like this. he didn't do this alone. didn't talk about specific co-spirits yesterday. why is that? a deal they have made with authorities? >> >> that's a good point because that's a possibility. possibly some of these people have already what we call flipped, turned to the prosecution and made deals reduce sentences oar get no sentence in exchange for testimony. that's a really great point that's probably what happened. >> ainsley: here is a soundbite from his defense attorney.

listen to. this he has been looking forward to this day. he has been looking forward to clearing his name. and is he going to clear his name. and we're going to stand by his side as he does. we believe in him wholeheartedly. he didn't do these things. >> ainsley: your reaction? >> i mean, i think this defense attorney is misplaced with what he is saying. i think that he has consistently been saying there was a consensual relationship with one person. the federal authorities are alleging there are multiple victims. we have seen 10 civil lawsuits already. i don't know if any of those people are involved in this federal prosecution. but i do think there's a misplaced statement of facts here that is unnecessary and in federal court not something that he should be doing. you can state your client is innocent. can you state we are going to prove -- disprove the prosecution's theories. but to get specific about one particular consensual, i don't think that's going to serve sean

combs in the long run. >> ainsley: the video released last summer discount help his case. he was trying to bribe the security at the hotel not to release that video. thank you so much for coming on. we will continue to follow this. >> thank you. >> ainsley: new tool to tell if you your elected officials stand with imwith. riley gaines and tulsi gabbard teamed up to make this happen and they are next. ♪ i'm walking on sunshine ♪ whoa ♪ i'm walking on sunshine note whoa ♪ i'm walking on sunshine ♪ and don't it feel good? hey ♪ all rightly i grew up shopping here, and now i love bringing my family here to gear up for all of our adventures together. and now, bass pro shops club members enjoy special savings and earn points toward free gear, which is rewarding when buying what you need for your next adventure. spending time outdoors with the ones you love,

coastal flood alerts from south carolina all the way up towards long island because we could see that push of atlantic moisture along the coast. and then we are watching this area of potential development. you know, we need to keep an eye

on this because this is the time of year where we see these areas of low pressure, especially getting closer to the u.s. that is something we have to be, you know, watching, monitoring, some of the computer models have it as a tropical storm. a couple of them develop it into a hurricane, heading into the weekend. so the bottom line is we need to monitor it and be aware if you live along the gulf coast. here's your forecast today, so, watching that area of low pressure along the east coast and then the potential for severe storms for parts of the midwest as a cold front moves through. it is that time of-year-old. all right, brian kilmeade. i'm going to toss it over to you. >> brian: we will change gears. the launching the riley gaines score card. rate every candidate for federal office on whether they intend to support and protect female opportunities no. just no sports. here with independent women's voice ambassador host for gains for girls podcast riley gaines and trump transition team

member. former congre congresswoman froi tulsi gabbard. riley where did you get this idea? >> brian, always good to be on with you. i got this idea, you know, it's something i have been thinking about for the past two years now. it's unbelievable we live in a time the year 2024 where we have to ask our elected leaders if they can even define the word woman. but unfortunately that's the reality we are living in. so as you described that partnered with independent women's voice to launch the riley gaines stand with women's score card. as it you said it merely scores incumbents and those candidates running for federal office on if they stand with women. we score this on how they have historically voted on the protection of women and girls in sports act. title 9 congressional review acted, for example, those again who are rubbing if they have vowed to sign the stand with women commitment. really simple stuff nothing complicated. national polling consistently shows over 70% of americans

agree that on the women's sports issue, for example, that men don't belong in women's sports. why is there such a stark contrast on capitol hill? >> brian: right. have you candidates signed stand with women commitment publicly. then you have criteria for congress men and women and one for senate, too. kelsey as a transition team member and surrogate for the trump team, how do you guys view this? >> i mean, this is an essential piece of information that voters need to have before they start heading to the polls. we know early voting has already begun. and i think there is a lot of democrats who don't want voters to know that they don't, in fact, stand with women no. matter how much they say they do. they brush off this issue as though oh, you know, this only effects a couple of people. it's not that serious. you shouldn't pay attention to it. but we're seeing more and more young women and girls who are directly impacted by this in not only impacting their ability to compete in sports on fair and level playing field, which was

the intent of title ix in the first place, but it effects their future opportunities as well. when i was in congress, brian, i introduced a bipartisan piece of legislation, i was a democrat at that time. with senator then representative markwayne mullen, called the protect women's sports act it. very simply clarified and upheld the intent of title ix. i was excore rated by democrats for doing that this is the kind of thing that voters need to know that kamala harris and the democrats of today stand for against women and girls. >> brian: riley is, it frustrating for you this has not come up on the debate stage? not come up in a conservation in the vice president has not been asked is it okay for you for boys to play in girls sports is it okay for you to not tell your parents that you want to transition. is it okay in some states they don't ask you if your kid changed pronouns? >> beyond frustrating, brian.

tulsi hit the nail on the head from what we have seen from democratic leadership they desperately want to run from this issue. they know this is not a winning issue. they know this issue does not poll in their favor. they know their voting record. for example senator jon tester in montana who has voted against protecting women and girls in sports. >> brian: yep. >> to me that doesn't represent montana values. if that base knew that and of course this is a candidate who offered to pay female collegiate athletes for their endorsement. if montana knew that they would be appalled. i know that, he knows that. the american public knows that. >> brian: one issue that america care about and that's abortion, right? >> yeah. that's what democrats want people to believe when we look at the issues that concern not only women but the fathers of young girls, the fathers of young girls. people directly being impacted by this broader issue that

democrats are rejecting the broader something objectively and biologically scientifically true it exposes the insanity of their issues. huge contrast that transcends partisan politics at the top of the ticket between kamala harris and donald trump and in so. these critical, federal races u.s. senate in congress. i'm glad that riley is leading the charge here to have the score cards so voters know before they head out and votes. >> brian: trans fixside great. check it out. it's on the both screen. congresswoman, i have got to ask you, have you spoke to the trump team about should they win? i know you are on the transition team that you would serve in the cabinet if asked? >> we are all very, very focused on winning this election, getting out and reaching and speaking the truth about kamala harris' record and donald

trump's record to voters that will be an important task that will come after election day. >> brian: that's not a no. that means you would be relatively open to it, right? >> yes. >> brian: gotcha. by the way, visit riley gaines score card.com for more. thanks to both of you in the morning. great to see you both. >> thanks. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: two great women to another great anchor. >> carley: you are so kind and receiving from a great man. >> brian: oh, thank you very much. a lot of greatness and in between us is great floor manager, chris. >> carley: check out this wild video deputy crime climbing from patrol cruiser to slow moving truck to helped a dazed driver. she is grazed, too. >> stay there. stay there. [siren. >> where is your car? >> that is bravely. thankfully, the deputy was able to put the park in park before calling the driver's family. he was taken to the hospital for

treatment for a medical condition. and in wisconsin, a lifelong musician who needed brain surgery to fix his hand tremors brought his trusty trombone into the operating room. can you believe this? the patient was wide awake as wires were drilled through his skull. and he brought his instrument and made the hand motions necessary to play it to ensure the procedure was successful. he couldn't actually blow into the trombone because it would cause complications during the surgery. but remarkable he was awake during the whole thing, guys, how about that video? >> lawrence: incredible. >> steve: that is incredible. one of the reasons is because they essentially asked the surges asked the person who is being operated on, you know, what do you feel? what is going on there? >> lawrence: what just happened? >> steve: brian just spilled a cup of coffee. >> lawrence: ha! >> ainsley: credible do that. play that while they are operating on his brain but, yet, it was kind of my fault but really brian always put my

coffee right at the tip of my high heel that when i cross my legs. >> lawrence: huge table in front of us and he continues. >> steve: trombone guy is okay. mike johnson, state speaker of e house coming up next. coffee is on us. ♪ ♪ ain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also happen. the most common side effects are pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, and upset stomach. ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingrix today.
