pete: we begin with a fox news alert. israel scoring a major victim against hezbollah. the idf confirms the terror group's leader, hassan nasrallah, is dead after a massive strike in beirut. will: right now smoke is rising after that the city after over 140 idf strikes since last night. and iran's supreme leader is calling on the people of lebanon to rise up against israel. rachel: our own nate foy is live on the ground in tel aviv. native, good morning. >> reporter: -- nate, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. iran's supreme leader is out with a new statement according to reuters reacting to the strike that the idf says killed hassan nas allah yesterday in beirut -- nasrallah, saying that the future of the middle east will be determined by the forces of the recess dance, and it will be led, he says, by hezbollah. but what hezbollah looks like without nas aal la remains to be seen. the terrorist organization has not put out a statement since

yesterday's strike that happened in the early evening hours local time in a beirut suburb. nasrallah was one of the organization's founding members and then became the leader of hezbollah in 199 9. -- 1992, he turned hezbollah into a powerful iranian-backed militia. he established the group's's elite unit. israel's killed many of those radwan unit commanders, now it claims nasrallah has also been taken out. the airstrike happened while nasrallah met with senior hezbollah commanders. israel claims it also killed the number two commander under nasrallah. israel says it couldn't warn resident before the strike because they didn't the want to warn nasrallah in the fear that that he might flee, but they did warn residents to flee shortly after the strike as they targeted weapons facilities

nearby. israel says this morning that hezbollah still has tens of thousands of rockets and missiles. they were estimated to have 150,000 before the current conflict. overnight hezbollah began its response launching rockets into thety of haifa in northern israel as the world now waits for the next step in hezbollah's response with u.s. leaders scrambling to promote if a diplomat ec solution. but israeli airstrikes continue this morning with the idf taking out 140 tohezbollah targets so far. as for a possible pending ground offensive into lebanon, the irk df says this morning that they have a wide set of tools, and they are not afraid to use them. we'll send it back to you. will: thank you, nate. rachel: thanks, nate. pete: it is, you know, a big win for the israelis to have killed hassan nasrallah. he's been looking -- he's been there for over 30 years. clearly, will, whatever intelligence they got from those

pagers, which probably included gps ping which we talked about a louisiana weekend, led to location, led to identifying locations of these leaders, and they've been picking them off ever since. we'll hair the organizational chart of hezbollah at this point, it's completely gone from the top to the mid-level leadership. so when iran is mulling a response and they, there it is right there, there's a red tag on it, that person is dead. so who replaces him is in question. if iran at this point is saying hezbollah will respond, the question is, who is hezbollah and does iran want that kind of escalation considering israel has already reached into tehran with a strike recently to kill a senior iranian official. israel's hope, i would think, is to deter iran from further involvement in the hope that they push hezbollah back, but we'll see if that's what happens. rachel: it's interesting, you see that chart or with all the people who are now gone from that leadership, if and you're right, the question is if you strike or retaliate, how are you going to retaliate, who's

calling the shots? the other question is how many more terrorists, would-be terrorists, is israel recruiting by just how aggress aggressive this response has been in gaza and there. and i think that's always been, you know, part of of the dilemma in these kinds of retaliations, is that in the end, you end up recruiting more terrorists. pete: if their schools are already teaching to count, their kids to count by dead jews, you're dealing with an enemy when seeks the eradication of israel. so you can go a little too far with that view baja that, oh, you're creating more desire. there already is that desire amongst these terror organizations. what seems to work more in deterrence in the middle east is fear. the reality that if you, if you continue to fight this war, you will be out utterly defeated. i think that's the psychology that israel's hoping to impose in lebanon. re will w --

will: and israel's clearly on to fencive. my interest is what will be the response from iran. will it be to back off out of fear or backed into a corner are to respond aggressively. we'll find out because we know the ayatollah has called a meeting, brought people together. i think the next step is to watch iran. meanwhile, here back at home when it comes to the united states' security, our southern border. vice president kamala harris visited the southern border. she exited her vehicle at roughly 6:11 eastern time, and she was back in her car by 6:37 eastern time. she viewed a section of the border wall built between 2011-20112 the by the obama administration and claims that she is and would be as president tough at the border. [applause] >> i strongly supported the comprehensive border security bill. written last year, written last

year as you know by a bipartisan group of senators including one of the most conservative members of the united states congress. that bill would have or hired 11,50 -- is -- 1,500 more agents and officers. it would have paid for 100 toins machines to detect fentanyl that is killing tens of thousands of americans every year. if it would have allowed us to more quickly and effectively remove those who come here illegally, and it would have increased the number of immigration judges and asylum officers. it was the strongest border security bill we have seen in decades. it was endorsed by the border patrol union. and it should be in effect today, producing results in realtime, right now for our country.

[applause] but donald trump tank thed it. -- tank thed it. we -- he picked up the phone and called some friends in congress and said stop the bill. because, you see, he prefers to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. [applause] and the american people deserve a president who cares more about border security than playing political games and their personal political future. [cheers and applause] rachel: do to to you guys really think anyone believes that is? [laughter] i mean, this is, it's funny but it's not. it's so insulting. the bill had billions of dollars for ukraine. that's really what it was, it was a ukraine war bill. pete: it was $60 billion for ukraine and $6 billion for the border. rachel: exactly. and the problem at the border is not money. remain in mexico doesn't cost a darn penny. it was a negotiated agreement with mexico that she tank thed

or he tanked and she tank thed the second they took power. and the money that she says they could have had, the $6 billion you talked about, pete, is that -- that money is just for processing. if it's for ngos. it's to make those ngos rich if to process people more quickly through our system. and the number of people, one second here, the number of people that we've been talking about, they're not counting, they're flying people across our border, and those people that are flying instead of walking across aren't counted in the numbers. so when they tell you under kamala harris we've just dropped this number, it's because they're flying them which is costing you money too. pete: that's why most republicans opposed the so-called bipartisan border security bill and so did donald trump, because here's what it actually did, it allowed as many as 8,500 illegals per day. it allowed, as you point out, rachel, migrant shelter funding,

ngo funding to process, till allowed catch and release. yet in this speech another thing kamala harris had the gall to say and if someone does not make an asylum request at a legal port of entry and instead crosses the border unlawfully, they will be barred from receiving asylum. she's trying to look us in the eye and pretend like she's donald trump. like i'm actually going to secure the border. i just think it's the too little, too late, will. i don't know if these photo ops are meant to be something that'll be in campaign ads to sort of mute the downside is, but you are the border czar who allowed tens of millions in to include criminals, now you do a 30-minute choreographed group to part of the wall that obama built -- you couldn't go to trump's wall, no way -- and somehow this is going to change voters' view? will: this is the line of attack, to suggest that donald trump killed the security of our american border. of course, it's an tag nhl to three and a half years of literally displant ifing and

selling off parts of the the border bill. she also said this yesterday, and i found this fascinating, she said, let me be clear, i regent the false choice that suggests we either choose between securing our border or creating a system of immigration that is safe, orderly and humane. we can and we must do both. we must do both. to the extent that i can understand what it means, they constantly think these two things have to be tied together. if dealing with the illegal immigrants that are already in the country and stopping the flow of illegal immigrants coming into the country. i don't know why these two issues always have to be tied together. it would seem to me you could get a bipartisan, or there should be a bipartisan sense that we should stop the flow. like, if we had stopped the flow, then we can move on to the send part of that debate, what to do with the legal immigrants in this country -- illegal immigrants in this country. rachel: when you've lost 3 20,000 children who have likely fall fallen, in of them, into sex trafficking, don't talk to

us about humane policies. this government, kamala harris as the border czar, is complicit in human trafficking and child sex trafficking because they fought, democrats fought against, again, d the na testing to make sure the people who are claiming to be the parents or the families of these children are. they fought against dna testing on children to make sure the people picking them up are related to them. imagine that. pete: and what that means is that number is, when they actually go to try to find these children, the vast majority of them, they're unaccounted for. they're supposed to he can in -- rachel: they're lost. pete: they may not if even be lost, they may be with somebody, but they can't find them. and in plenty of casing they're being exploited. you can't find them. hundreds of thousands of kids that our government let in that may or may not be with their parents. where are they? we have no idea. how is that hue haven? how is that okay? -- humane? rachel: let's move to a fox weather alert. we have a lot going on in weather today. at least that deaths -- 45

deaths have been reported since helene made landfall in florida as a monster cat four hurricane. pete: if severe floods across parts of ash asheville, north carolina. will: let's turn to chief meet. [roll call] s rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast. rick: record-breaking flooding, expect devastation is going to take a lifetime for some people to ever be able to recoup. storm came onshore way down here in florida, but look at all this flooding that we've seen. and we saw more flash flood emergencies than we've ever seen in any one day. that's where the storm is now. a little bit of moisture still with it, but for the most part, it is largely gone. the flooding is going to continue for a while. this year so far we've had four hurricanes that have made landfall in the gulf and two of them here in the big bend. there was hurricane debby about six weeks ago, so that area's already been hit, six weeks later getting that second storm now as a category four, certainly the worst they've seen there. 30% of hurricane season remains,

trillion -- traditionally, statistically we are going to turn our eyes to another storm forming exactly where helene was. i'm not saying it'll do the same thing that that helene did, but sometimes you get into these patterns where they are favorable for some sort of development x that's what we're watching here. eventually back out into the gulf here within the next week could be having to watch once again. all right, guys, back to you. will: thank you, rick are. pete: all right. let's turn now to a few additional headlines starting with this. a suspected burglar has been killed and two officers hurt while responding to a gun store break-in in an atlanta suburb. before midnight officers responded to reports of gunfire. they say after arriving at the store, shots were fired from inside. if officers fired back and two were hurt and now are in in the hospital. they're both, thankfully, expected to be okay. the gbi, georgia bureau of investigation, is investigating. and a fox business alert, biden administration official

meeting with port employers yesterday in an effort to avoid a looming strike at east and gulf coast ports. they're pushing employers to negotiate with unions ahead of their contract's monday expiration. if some shoppers are worried about what could happen if an agreement is not reached. enter are you worried about prices going higher if a strike were to happen in. >> yes, i am. i am. and it's hard to be able to make ends meet as it is. it's going to be even worse. pete: 56 agriculture groups wrote to the biden administration urging them to prevent the strike emphasizing, quote, approximately 40% of u.s. containerized agricultural exports moves through east and gulf coast ports. and if now the miami hurricanes coming away with a close win over virginia tech last night. the game coming down to the final play, a desperation hail mary by the hokies to win the game. >> comes town to this -- down to

this. let's it fly. -- lets it fly. [inaudible] >> the game is not over. >> it looks like we're going to get the verdict. >> after further review, the ruling on the field is reversed, it's an incomplete -- [cheers and applause] pete: and we've got more college football action today on fox. don't miss the big noon kickoff hoe in orlando this morning as the guys preview today's matchup between michigan and minnesota9 and the big game between ucf and colorado. those are your headlines. will: peeking of ucf-colorado, abby hornacek is arrive from orlando -- live from orlando, 330 eastern time kick off. abby. >> reporter: what's going on, will? this crowd just keeps getting rowdier and rowdier.

♪ rachel: vice president harris stopping for a photo op with cbp officials while visiting an arizona border town yesterday in an attempt to rebrand her record on illegal immigration. meanwhile, the true impact of the crisis looms large as border agents warn that children as young as 8 are being drugged and trafficked the into our country by smugglers posing as their parents. if allie hopper is a public speaker on global human trafficking and homeland security, and she joins us now. allie, let's just talk about the two cases that have been hitting the news, these young children as young as 8 years

old, they're in a car, they look like they're sleeping, but they were drugged and the people that were with them were not their parents. what do we know? >> so in many of those situations, these border patrol agents -- and we have firsthand knowledge of speaking with these agents -- they have not received the training to be able to even identify when these circumstances come about. they are told to receive and reset. they receive the child, push it forward and then reset to receive the next, you know, group of people coming over. rachel: it's unbelievable. our government, as we've been talking about earlier with on this show, has lost 3 20,000 that we know of, children. 3 to 20,000. mostly latino kids from latin america. they've lost them. they have no dna testing, they go up to these homes, there's no checks -- am i right about that, ali, in we're not checking whether they're going to school, when they're fed, how these

people -- many of whom aren't their parents -- are caring for them. >> exactly. and, actually, my research partner testified at senator grassley's round table, and, you know, there's numerous situations of these children being handed over. one of his counterparts or a friend that he knew was charged or tasked with the checking on the well-being of 25 the children was only able to the identify or locate 2. they said that the rest of them either never showed up, or they were taken away by other people once they arrived. rachel: what are the chances or what sort of percentage can you even speculate about how many of them have fallen into sex trafficking which we know is a growing problem in our country? >> i wouldn't even begin to the be able to guess that situation because it's sex trafficking, it's labor trafficking. you're not checking the backgrounds of these sponsors. they could be, you know, there was a case of an ms-13 member,

there's known pedophiles. when you're not doing background checkss you have no idea who you are handing these children over to, and we are putting them at significant risk to where the state states can't even intervene and check on the well-being of these children. rachel: yeah, and many of these children, ali, am i correct, are basically like indentured servants to the cartels because their families paid for them to come over with the cartels alone, god knows why. there's no excuse for that. there's no amount of poverty that would justify giving a 5-year-old over to a cartel member. but then they're indebted to pay off the cartels, correct? >> correct. and many of these children are being forced into labor conditions or whatever means that they can to pay off their debts whether it's labor, whether it's sec, and those are the primary -- sex, and those are the primary two that

children are being utilized for. it's really unfortunate that they're coming here and we're putting them in these situations, and many of them are actually begging to go back to their home countries, and we're not sending them back. rachel: lei no, we're pushing them through, as javier becerra said. he referred to these children as if if they were widgets that weren't getting processed quickly enough for the political aims of this government. we are complicit as a nation in this great evil, and people like you, ali, are bringing this forward for us to think about this ahead of this important election. thank you so much. >> thank you. and i would just like to -- rachel: sure. >> -- to end this piece with i'm a mother if, you know? i work full time. this is what i do because i care and because of the future of my children, but it's a call to action for any parent out there to know that this is happening to children as cross the country, across the world. so, please, pay attention to what is going on because these

children are being hurt. rachel: yeah. by a government who claims to care about hispanics and last are latin americans -- hat latin americans. it's shameful. ali, thank you so much. >> thank you. rachel: got it. you are looking live at beirut where smoke rises after the idf struck hezbollah overnight and confirmed the death of a top commander of the terror group. general anthony tata is next on that. 15 or more headache days a month each lasting 4 hours or more. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start. and treatment is 4 times a year. in a survey, 91% of users wish they'd started sooner. so why wait? talk to your doctor. effects of botox® may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

brigadier general anthony tata. general, thanks for being here. how does this change the dynamic? it's one thing to dismantle the organizational chart as you've seen of hezbollah, it's another thing to take out the leader of 30 years. how does it it change the calculation? if. >> hey, pete, good morning. great to be with you. this changes the calculation in a big way. nasrallah being killed not to mention several of his top leaders, you've cut the head off the snake, and it leaves everybody else out there to be directed by lower ranking people that really don't have the vision and capability to do what they need to do to attack israel. and so you really weaken their resolve. and, you know, they're backed by iran, they're backed through iraq into syria and into lebanon, and you begin to cut those supply if chains and logistic chains and all that because you've killed people in

charge of all the functional areas that, you know, bring the means to -- against israel. it's a very strategic strike, a very important strike. and they're fighting a two-front war. and what it demonstrates is that israel is supremely capable of defending itself and has such superior technology that, you know, they're extremely capable. pete: you know, we're asking everybody this question this morning because it's the big question. play this forward for us based on hezbollah is a client state, has been a client state of iran not just in lebanon, but used in syria as well. you've seen israel reach all the way into iran in killing one of their senior leaders as well. what is iran's next move here? that will tell us a lot about how this unfolds. >> yeah. well, i think a lot of it really relies upon domestic politics, pete. you know, if trump wins, iran is going to be on its heels, and

we've got to pray that president trump wins because maximum pressure will be brought to bear again, and perhaps that's a little bit of what's playing out here between israel and hamas and hezbollah and the entire iranian network is that iran a really wants harris to win so that they can continue to try to crush israel. the harris and biden team have been equivocating bigtime. they support the islamic terrorists in hamas and hezbollah, and they support the mullahs in iran. president trump, obviously, supports israel, our greatest ally there. so to me, that's really what's playing out here. and so iran is going to probably try to accelerate some things before the election and try to get some things done against israel. but israel has done a very good job of ignoring these ridiculous requests to, you know, ceasefire like secretary austin put one out recently saying give us a

ceasefire. why don't they ever say that when hamas or to hezbollah are out there, you know, launching rockets at israel? it's only when israel defends it in a very precise way whether it's the pagers, you know, a very precision attack that we talked about last week or something like this where you go after the headquarters. if it demonstrates israel's intelligence capabilities and their very precise strike capabilities. and like we discussed last week, it demonstrates that israel is very focused on defeating the terror groups while the terror groups don't care who they kill in israel. and, you know, all you've got to think about is that there are millions of muslims that live peacefully in israel and there are zero je work s that live peacefully in gaza or surrounding areas that are dominated by these islamic especially treatmentists -- extremists. pete: yeah,, the tolerating one

largely jewish state seems like something they can't handle and, hence, they attack it endlessly, and israel defends itself. general anthony tataing, thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> thanks, pete. sure thing. pete: all right, will, take it there here. will: major dock workers' strike looms as america's busiest portt ports. 45,000 workers prepare to walk off the job as early as tuesday. this move could cost our economy as much as $5 billion a day, disrupting everything from medicine to the auto industry. a supply chain expert and ceo of resalink joins us now. thanks for being with us this morning. how imminent is this potential strike of ports from maine all the way through texas? >> well, it is the an october 1st deadline which means the negotiations have been paused since june, and if so at this

time the strike seems imminent unless the government steps in mandates worker come back. will: let's talk about what this would mean directly for the consumer if these dock workers go on strike and these ports are, in effect, shut down? how does that affect the average american in. >> you know, the supply chain will be disrupted. the length of the strike is very important. our data shows even a 2-week strike will ripple through the supply chain in the months to come. rail cars will be in the wrong place at the wrong time, trucks will be in the wrong place at the wrong time or, the ripple effect will go to the west coast ports and so you will have capacity problems at different lanes. this obviously means perishable items are not if available on shelves and there is disruption to smaller businesses. companies that are reliant on -- alone and don't have any other

option, our data the shows those companies -- will: can you give us some examples? what kind of perishable items, what companies? >> definitely food, anything with shelf life. think fruits, vegetables, anything that we import from other countries, particularly latin america. a lot of agriculture comes from there. we also port -- import, interestingly, from southeast asian countries, the companies that moved their manufacturing out of china to countries like vietnam, thailand, a lot of those imports will be disrupted as well as europe. will: they're asking the government to step in, i guess this is now in the hands of pete buttigieg or joe biden. we'll see if something can happen here in the short amount of time we have left. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. will: former president trump rallying in wisconsin today as the gop looks to secure the swing state, and the top of the ticket isn't the only race they're eyeing.

will: meanwhile, concerns remain about the former president's safety as a secret service is staffing shortage forces trump to move this rally indoors. pete: joining us now is wisconsin senate candidate backed by trump everything hovde. concern eric hovde. we'll get to that event shortage in a moment, but you saw that kamala harris went down to the border yesterday and spent about 30 minutes there talking to a couple of agents. could have done that in front of a green careen for all it's worth that she got out of it. how will the voters respond in your mind to this sudden revelation that she's a border hawk? >> well, first of all, good morning, everyone. i hope everybody's off to a great day. look, it's a joke. i mean, really it's hard to even conceptualize how this is a tight race at all. kamala harris has failed at literally everything she has done, most importantly being the border czar. as we all know, you know, president trump pretty much had the border secure, and then kamala harris and joe biden came in, over 3 million came in the

first year, over 3 million the second year, well over 4 million. we don't know if that number is 16, 202 million. and every state's a border state. look, wisconsin, they just had an article about the thousands people that got dropped into white water, a small town of about 13, 14,000 people. it's caused a huge mess. the budget, the access to housing, health care, all these issues. then the crime issue, why is president trump going to prairie du chien? because two weeks ago a woman was violently raped and brutalized as well as her -- i think it's her daughter, they would never say. but we've had crime all over our state. so i don't think people are buying this at all. rachel: what do you think's going to happen in wisconsin? i mean, you're in a tight race with tammy baldwin. all eyes are on wisconsin. you see kamala harris clearly feeling the pressure, having to go down to the border and pretend like she cares about that issue because, as you said,

every state is a border state including wisconsin. and that story is hosch risk that you just -- horrific, that you just talked about. where do we stand here? what does it look like being on the ground for trump and if also for yo yourself? the -- and also for yourself? >> look, we're the ultimate battleground state. we're a center-right state, but, you know, it's going to be a 50-50 race. me and senator baldwin, who's so extreme left, are basically in a dead heat, same with president trump and vice president harris. so whoever wins this state will not only win the presidency, but also will determine the control of the senate for not just two years, probably four years. so, look, i'm running as hard as possible. you know, she -- her whole campaign has been about lies. she's extreme on everything, you know, pushing a bill to require guys to go into girls' bathrooms is if locker rooms playing girls' sports. she sent money to a transgender

clinic here that does this with children without notifying parents. she voted to give illegals cash while we have veterans struggling. so this is a critical battleground state. look, i'm doing everything we can. i'm just going to say to everybody, we've got to do everything. everyone out there, to the save this great country. i'm in this race for one reason, i love my country, america. and ask and we're losing it. and let's just face facts, they've done so much damage. we've got to win. i've got to win this race. if you can help out, send some money to eric hovde.com, but we all have today our part, talk to our friends and neighbors to make sure we win in november. rachel: erin, one last quick question to you. the secret service has moved that rally for donald trump. bob trump clearly trying to -- donald trump trying to to rally his supporters indoors. do you feel like this is getting politicized, that his rallies are having to be under some sort of, you know, control? how do you feel about that? do you feel like it should have

been outdoors, or do you think they did the right thing? >> honestly, i'm not quite sure why they would have to move it in because we don't have a lot of tall building, so you would think they'd be able to protect him. when they did the one up in the wassau area, they did it right there on the airport where he flew in, landed his trump plane, and it was very secure. so you may be right, rachel, they may with politicizing it. but, you know, i never want to go too far there because i don't know all the ground -- rachel: sure. >> think of how sad this is. we've had a president if twice almost assassinated. if so it just tells you the state of politics we're in right now and why we've got to take this country back. will: eric hovde, thanks so much for being with us this morning. >> thanks, everybody. everybody have a great day. rachel: thanks, erin. pete: all right. today is national hunting and fishing day, so it's a great day, and what better way to celebrate than with bass pro shops? their mission to protect the

great outdoors next. ♪ ♪ thank god he made me this waym ♪ hunting and fishing and loving every day ♪ more laughs. more hang outs. more “mmmmm, so good!” yeah, give us more of all of that little stuff that makes life so great. but if you're older or or have certain health conditions, you also have more risk from flu, covid-19 and rsv. but vaccines help keep you from getting really sick. and that, is huge.

rsv can severely affect the lungs and lower airways. but i'm protected (pause) 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. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. arexvy is number one in rsv vaccine shots.

rsv? make it arexvy. (♪)

museum and aquarium. and so right next door is bass pro shops and not just any bass pro shops, but the granddaddy store of them all. so we consider this really the conservation capital of america. so this is a perfect place to celebrate national hunting and fishing day. so we've got activities going on all weekend long. but as you noted, it is just our opportunity to celebrate all that america's sportsmen and women have done over the many years in the way of contributing billions of dollars for conservation all around this country. if it's also an opportunity to introduce the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and so we've got lots of activities to make that connection. pete: and you're at the flagship location which is a site to see, but if you could walk into a bass pro really anywhere, e took my family recently, there's a lot going on for families and kids. >> there's always a lot going on for families and kids. but here at wonders of wildlife

today, i mean, we've got opportunities to teach young people how to kayak, there's going to be all sorts of outdoor activities just to introduce them to the great outdoors, certainly to hunting and fishing. we just want to get people out into with nature. we know that there's tons of health benefits just to get people in the great outdoors. so national hunting and fishing day -- which has been around since 19732 -- is just another way to celebrate our historying but get people outside. it is good medicine. rachel: yeah. i just love that you brought up that point. there's so many, so much mental illness goings only, it's on the rise especially with young people, and there have been study after study about how mental health is improved by just getting out in nature and just seeing your place in the world and in the great outdoors. i didn't know it was national hunting and fishing day until i got to here to work. my husband just happens to be going shooting with my son today, so they're right on point with that. but that's the other part, it

can be very bonding and family-oriented. >> it certainly can. and, you know, i mean, there are so many studies that are now really proving what i think many of us knew innately, that nature is great medicine. and so you're right, we're in this historic time of just very high levels of depression and anxiety. but study after study suggests that that just a few minutes outside in the sunshine and in nature does us all so much good. rachel: vitamin d. >> i'm telling you, after this interview, i'm headed outside. [laughter] rachel: good for you. will: you can get started by heading over to bass pro shop, visit bass pro.com. >> that tease exactly right. -- that's exactly right. will: sara parker pauley, thank you so much. rachel: thanks, sarah a. >> have a great day. will: a big show still ahead, tick around.
