welcome to "fox & friends". it is october. it's officially fall. october is when i'm willing to acknowledge. rachel: it really is fall. by the way, pete is hosting live from butler, pennsylvania, this morning so we're welcoming him onto the set and on to the screen there with you so glad to have you, pete, you're waiting for trump voters many library ahead of the rally. are you excited about fall? you're missing the fall pest value here. will: it's fall weather. reporter: it is fall weather and gettings a little colder before it gets warm. definitely chilly and definitely pal but that's not discouraged at all the faithful here in butler, pennsylvania. here to see president trump finish the speech he started in

october on july 13th. buys, we're at the 6:00 a.m. hour at the front of the line talking to people who got here and they open the beat and seeing behind me is a field of dream-type sensorineural mario if you've seen the end of that dream and the cars that i have opened up the parking lot on the other side of the fairgrounds here and i can't see the end of the car and streets in both direction are packed with headlights and people make their way in this morning and line is seemingly endless and folks are enthusiastic and it's 7:00 a.m. in pennsylvania mott till this evening and the energy is palatable and you recognize this. because the territory, corey lost his life and the ear

bandage with a lot of remembrance outside and a lot of enthusiasm and we want to continue the speech where he left off and keep going and were i send it back to you buys, barbara, how you doing? >> i'm doing great. great. hi, how are you? reporter: came about two hours away and about 3:00 in the morning and my first trump rally and i'm super excited and happy to be here and got out of my car because they were stopped and got out of my truck, my husband's truck and ran up here so i can get in line because i don't want to miss anything so my poor husband said are you leaving me? i said i am, for trump, i am. reporter: why did it penoso much for you to be here at this rally today? >> i'm such a big supporter and we have so much great supporters in the pittsburgh area and people think that it's all democrat here. no, it's not.

in my county where i live in washington county, used to be all democrat and now it's more like 60% republican and staying next door and it's been in the news with all the inplucks of immigrants and -- influx of immigrants and they're living next door to me. i know what it's like. reporter: go find your husband. there you have it. barbara is fired up and enthusiastic and with a mood this morning and it'll be remembrance and a lot of excitement ashed it. will: the people who are in person online and looking at cars librarying up and we have the people now lined up and a bit earlier, spoke to renee white and came from north carolina, western north carolina in fact about why he's at her 47th trump rally and this was unique and back in july. watch.

>> it was surreal to come back into town and like a bittersweet moment and finish what we started and fight and be here together and have the unity and to let trump know we have trump's back and he has ours and it's crazy and i came into town, it was an erie feeling and find the place that we parked and went through the town and went fight fight fight. we'll never surrender and, you know, let's fight harder but i'm here and trump we have your back. will: pete, one thing i'd love to hear, any time you can get a sense, i'm curious how many people will be there and what the estimation of the number will be and talking to people, are they from pennsylvania and all over and majority local and uroyous about that as you talk to -- curious about that as you talk to people throughout the morning. reporter: real quick but i've

been to a lot and have a sense it's bigger and bigger earlier than it was and running into people from california and license plates from california. there's folks from all over the country here in butler, pennsylvania. rachel: i think it's emotion narrow angle physical people like that woman there and emotional for the family that is going to be up on stage, corey comperatore's family and of course for the president coming back to the scene of where he almost lost his life and, pete, just so glad that our show sent you there because right from the get go from almost immediately after the president was shot and iconic ports of entry toe was taken and can't show that picture and propaganda. they were worried this image would bolster trump and show him

as a fighter and help him electorally and they wanted to get back to how did this happen? not just from the secret service point of view and who was that kid that shot him and what do we know and i'm hoping that this attention from this rally, you being there and these crowds turning out in the record numbers might bring more attention to that and there's a lot of questions about what happened that day. reporter: if feels like a lot was quickly worm holed, rachel. that's part of the reason why president trump is coming back here and not just back here, but almost the exact same stage set up. the canes are up and flags and we passed people with signs in their lawns it's going to look very much the same and enthusiasm is intense and we deserve the answers.

pete: mow to fox weather alert and today vice president kamala harris going to north carolina after former president trump tour damaged in georgia yesterday. rachel: the storm claiming lives and brandy campbell is live in asheville, north carolina. brandy, good morning. reporter: good morning, guys. last friday, he lean caused devastation and raging river and a week later some of the damage and i want to show you this and this scene behind the truck leaning to the side and you'll notice which is much more striking, it is underneath this building. this is a welcome center here for the mountain region and for perspective of how high the water was, we'll pan over to the building next to me. we were told the water reached

the rooftop of this warehouse and panning further to our right, you can see just more of the devastation in the fog. a very dramatic scene this morning. unfortunately it's been a deadly storm. right now at least 232 people have been confirmed dead and the number continues to rise each day across the southeast where we are in buckham county. the most deaths confirmed and that number at least 72 and could rise. meanwhile we've heard stories of survival and water rising sent resident to rooftops and anureses kent said two neighbors on kayaks saved him, his family and neighbors. >> sitting there and there's not enough thanks and graciousness in the world they could bestow upon them. we owe ore lives to them, my family's lives and a lot of other families lives to those gentlemen that got a kayak down

to us. it was the saving brace for us. reporter: always thankful for the good samaritans that we're hearing alaska about. will: thank you so much. the conversation is turning to the money and government fun what they can and have done for help. president biden talking about the cost of recovery and far exceeding katrina and damages that we're learning day-by-day. just incredible. what biden had to say about the need for more money. >> we'll have to deal with un-forseen cost of what this hurricane will cost and it'll cost a lot of money and i'm going to have to ask congress before we leave for more money to deal with some of the problems. but that remains to be seen.

rachel: former green beret and leading that task force on the ground and what american citizens are doing and not see ago lot of fema and government that a lot of heavy lift asking being cone at this point and by really amazing americans who are doing the job themselves, listen. >> what i can say is talking to folks on the ground and again i'm talking to special ops veterans and a lot of forces and also relative and local community leaders about the gap in response time and particularly with response time and it's just been massive with a lot of veterans and a lot of helicopters and people without water and without food. these previous efforts will have to continue and that's all

that's out there and figuring out, pete, how to manage the private and the public sector is not synchronized opposite level and these are frankly the biggest level of support they have right now. they've got to figure out a way to synchronize that. will: majority of lift is copping from neighbor and local government and certainly veteran groups jumping in and same tame hearing from the federal government, we need more money and in part tahin seen how the federal government is so fluidly, easily allocate money and putting it to ukraine and to wherever or illegal immigrants in the unit and different buckets of money and this bucket of money doesn't impede that bucket of money and so forth. from the american citizen side and taxpayer side, comes from

one bucket. what i pay, it's one bucket and one check that i send to the government or they take from my paycheck. not like i ride out this part for america. that's your job. are you spending the money on the people that need it like in north carolina or are you spending how you want, joe biden. put that to, pete. reporter: yeah, it's hundreds of billions to ukraine and hotel stays and money to taxpayer and $750 to folks in western north carolina who had hair entire livelihood bone and not access to basic food, amenity, water, and cell phone service and this government we spend all this money on is nowhere to be found.

lackadaisical trial and people want to be heard and they want to know we care and rushing resource there is as quickly as possible and there's just a feeling and sense of what's happened in north carolina and a failure of the government and the longer it happens and worse it gets there. rachel: to the point of how tone deaf this government is, it's a tweet and post on x from secretary blinken saying the u.s. is on the forefront of the growing crisis in lebanon and announces 157 million in assistance here today and lack of understanding and the government is so good i had a congressman from michigan and

not the proof yet for the funds and that's where it happens for the government that's so huge and the one basic thing that everybody in america would vote on and that's what everybody wants and we can't tell if there's all the buckets of money and taking it and giving it to feel their priorities and seems to be illegal immigration at the point and keeping track of it and it's really distomussing. will: we're talking to the biden administration. watch. >> marco rubio had today's jobs report having fake numbers. what do you make of that and how worried are you that many

americans are feeling the jobs numbers aren't real? >> worries that netanyahu maybe trying to influence the election and that's why he's not aubreyed to a diplomatic solution? >> confidence that it'll be a free and fair election and that it'll be peaceful? >> what was your question going to be if you got called on today? >> asking why they were seemingly unprepared to handle that hurricane. rachel: that clip is devastating and speaks to elitism of the press core and notice that joe biden is in there and first time he's ever entered into the press room since he's been in office. that was a big surprise. will: making rounds like kamala harris is trying to do a cute thing and passing the tie

breaking votes and distancing himself from joe biden is wrapping arms around and planting a sloppy wet kiss on them and the presidency working on the cry cease and what role she's played over the last few days. >> i'm in contact with her and we're singing from the same song sheet. she helped pass all the laws of being employed and she was a major player in everything we've done including passage of legislation which we were told it could never pass so her staff is done a lot with mine in terms of mine. rachel: call that clip revenge of jill biden.

she's been coaching her husband that's not entirely there saying you go out there and tire as will said, wrap a big old hug around kamala harris and plant a big wet i cans as will -- kiss as will just said and what i think joe biden is behind this and clearly not going to be kamala winning the election and more than losing this election and if kamala loses this election. this is the end of barack obama with the with the king maker and making sure hillary won and she lost and push joe biden out here this summer and installed kamala harry.

harry i want the diminishing return of utility of endorsement or king making status. there's no doubt about that. when joe biden stepped to that podium, kamala harris campaign staffers are freaking out in realtime. what is he doing or saying smuggling she was supposed to be having an event at the same time that would have drawn cameras and he decides to walk into the press briefing room and step all over her media moment by wrapping his arms ashed her and it's the exact opposite of the kamala harris campaign would want especially in a moment where the incompetence of the federal government is on full display in western north carolina and more sim in the professional leadership. >> it's on full display. will: doing their part to help the survivors of helene.

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

is that love island?

>> there's a picture here of myself and cory mills from california and took it upon himself to push the initial push into the area and all the gas on our helicopter is put on his personal card and he's backed up by mercury one and several other organizations and this is completely privately funded.

these are private citizens helping out and i spent my life overseas and if we had citizens behind enemy lines, we'd spare moten expense and it's a travesty there's no folks helping out. it's way worse than the media is reporting and we have the ability because of helicopters and hoists to get way in from behind and i wouldn't be surprised if the death toll doubles if not greater. will: i keep hearing the images we get and it's not communicated to the full extent of the devastation in north carolina. what i've been able to combater is the real problem is the supply problem and asheville and so many people live buried in

the mountains on rural road and cut off from civilization and cut off from them. your helicopter comes in. have you been able to breach that last mile getting to isolated people? >> we flew in over 15,000-pound of goods and, you know, the folks up there, we've been getting them water of course but hay don't really immediate water. they need generators and star link and space heaters and it's going to be 30 degrees in the mountains next week. they're sleeping under t tarps d extremely isolated but here's the deal, why are there mott truckloads of army corp. of engineer in there building roads and bridges? i mean, we are doing this again privately funded. americans helping americans and incredibly inspiring and disappointing and letting the

american brothers and sisters down. will: really quickly, brandon, conflicting reports and had it confirmed to me and seen elon musk tweet through this, did air space get shut double figures by the fed so ultimately a the private helicopters could no longer run the missions and is it now back up? >> then as opportunistic liken p.m. last night, we plow the last mission and air space is open. will: mercury one, which you're wearing on your chest, i can speak personally, cory mills and you're doing incredible work and know about that personally and

reporter: we're back in library and the line goes and goes and goes and the cars are coming and there's a big old flag right there and there's a lot of love here in butler, pennsylvania, this morning. as donald trump returns we're going to talk to the folks and share the rally on "fox & friends" all morning long.

before taking breztri for my copd, i had bad days. days ruined by flare-ups (cough) that could permanently damage my lungs. then i talked to my doctor about breztri, and i noticed things changed. breztri gave me better breathing. starting within 5 minutes, my lung function improved. breztri also helped improve my symptoms and was even proven to reduce flare-ups, including those that could send me to the hospital. now i worry less about bad days and enjoy more good days. breztri won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. it is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. don't take breztri more than prescribed.

breztri may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. can't afford your medication? astrazeneca may be able to help. ask your doctor about breztri for copd.

>> welcome back. we're nine days out and we haven't talked that much about georgia and all the homes in georgia about 160,000 still without power and obviously up in across parts of southern appalachian and so long to get power back here. notice weather wise at least cooperating and there's a pretty nice weekend here and temps up into the 80s and much of the rain and that's certainly going to help temperatures for people without power. weather across the southern appalachians looking good and across parts of the gulf and watch all the thunderstorm activity. we have a very rainmy week ahead for us in florida and this

disturbance and looking at tropical development and potentially there's something that could be a strong tropical storm or more. somewhere across west coast of florida. this is probably midweek this coming week and things to iron out on the details and imploring to watch it again for the potential tropical system your way. rachel. rachel: hank, rick. in 2023 a minnesota abortion law called into question during this week's kemp bait. listen. >> former president trump said in the last debate that you believe abortion "in the ninth month is absolutely pine. yes or no, i'll bive you two minutes". >> in minnesota we restored roe vs. wade. rachel: the changes tim walls made to the law and providing life saving measures to my

abortion and it does happen. you'll see walz strike through at the bottom for care of the infant. legal experts say these are for end of life comfort care and ultimate euphemism rather than compelling doctors to save the babies and founder and director of the abortion met work surviving themselves joins us mow. what an honor to have you on today. you survived an abortion and luckily bot care and you're sitting here with us today. tell us what happened in the bill and specifically what happens to babies that survive abortions in the state of minnesota versus other states that don't have these brutal laws.

>> providing abortions post roe and reality is cdc years ago drt wanting to report about this and should be hushed up and why would you want to return yourself in and there'd be public clamor and this is where we're at. there's very few states that identify and report the number of babies like me that support abortions and in ten different states # 70 babies that survived abortions and look at minnesota report f 2021, five babies survived and money provided medical care. it's a travesty. rachel: this is called comfort

care. explain what that means. >> yeah, so much of when senator obama was discussing that in the state of illinois and my friend, was a nurse and held a baby like me survived a abortion and response and brought it out to the public and it was a comfort care room and not going for their child, grandchild and anyone they know and love. why are they willing to do this to babies time and time again. why are they hiding the truth from the american public? rachel: these are babies if survivable mott getting medical care and put in buckets and that nurse talking about bringing to attention of horrifying many and turning hearts to stone and didn't care and someone like tim walz doing this and it's similar to what they do in china and

north carolina. >> npr did fact checking and shared that and it's correct under minnesota law and abortion is not restricted for any month of pregnancy. rachel: choice and reproductive care and all the euphemism and first lady melena trump cade she's pro choice.

>> i'd want her to sit and hear our stories and see if she can reconcile that sans with the reality of our lives. rachel: i thought that way when i saw the debate and jd vance humanized people like you in the debate and hadn't met you i want him to meet you and connecticut and melena to meet you and that's the only way to humanize and tell your story. and the story of so many others in your survivors met work. melissa, thank you for joining us and bring light and joy in we're glad you're alive and survive that terrible procedure. thank you for joining us. rachel: you bot it.
