rachel: all right, it's the 8:00 a.m. hr of fox & friends weekend starting with this. battleground blitz. trump and harris continue their swing state tour with just 16 days to go. this as the former president receives an endorsement from the steelworkers in the all-important state of pennsylvania. >> the president has saved the steel industry with tariffs, you saved it with tariffs and you're my hero and the greatest president ever. rachel: and then they hunt. >> plus, kamala harris rolls out the stars to try to garner support, but making eyes turn with this. >> they say if kamala wins then

this whole country will be like detroit. well, i say proud like detroit. will: and get this north carolina early voters exceeding 2020 turnout, while still recovering from hurricane helene. rnc co-chair lara trump joins us live this hour, the third houries weekend starts right now. it was meant to be, it'll be, baby just let it be ♪ >> we have detroit, the cadillac building. did you know that detroit had the third-highest number of pre-war skyscrapers behind only new york and chicago. will: what a random stat. >> i think it's a really important stat. rachel: beautiful architecture in detroit. >> extraordinary architecture. of course, they have had to tear

a lot of it down, because i remember working there and you'd walk up woodward avenue, i'm not kidding about this actually. you'd have skyscrapers that be completely vacant and you would see phesants flying from the 30th floor of one building to the, you know, 25th floor of another building. it was like something out of a movie. like a mad max movie. will: it makes third-most skyscrapers, it makes sense. rachel: it does. >> i mean, you think about it. the reason that you have detroit is you had the iron ore, the timber industry and detroit, the auto industry is just the latest fad to come through detroit before that they had carriages, they had wood stoves, they had, because of the rich in iron ore in upper michigan, and then the lumber, some of the magnificent neighborhoods there were built by the labor barrons and detroit

institute of art, one of the most beautiful art museums, amazing collection, because you've got a lot of people with a lot of money. will: fascinating history this moring on fox & friends. the reason we talk about detroit is kamala harris is campaigning in detroit while donald trump in latrobe, pennsylvania talking about that pre-war economy that manifested into the auto industry. a lot of union work, manufacturing, donald trump appealing to those workers in pennsylvania. >> so if we win pennsylvania, we win the whole damn thing, right? >> [applause] >> and starting on day one of my new administration, i will end kamala harris' war on pennsylvania energy because you know, she's going to ban, you know she's going to ban fracking right? 100%. >> booooo. >> you know, she was against fracking, against all this stuff and all of a sudden about a year and a half ago when she was getting killed in the polls she said i like fracking very much.

look they always go back to what they want. they always go back. she can't help it. she's a radical left marxist, she can't help it but we're going to end that and we will frac, frac, frac, and drill, baby drill. >> [applause] >> we're going to drill, baby, drill. we're going to be drilling so deep, we're going to be for these guys we're going to drill and take out so much money. rachel: we're going to take out so much money! you look at how comfortable donald trump is. we're going to show you a little bit in just a second here, him putting on that hard hat. he's been around construction buildings before and union workers many times and they feel connected to him and he feels connected to them and those guys that you're seeing behind them, they're fighting for their livelihood really. they know that donald trump is telling the truth about kamala harris' record on fracking,

which is that she wanted to ban it. here is a steel worker who joined donald trump on stage and here is what he had to say. >> the president that saved the steel industry with tariffs, you saved it with tariffs and you're my hero and you're the greatest president ever. we love you. >> [applause] >> we love you. >> [applause] >> so steelworkers for trump and the rank-and-file want to endorse you and give you a hard hat. >> [applause] >> [cheers and applause] >> the guy, he really just changes all of the rules about politics. it's so funny, but one rule that he hasn't changed is obviously, he always want like the workers. kamala harris has managed to

score some of the endorsements or lack thereof of union chiefs, but donald trump gets the workers. rachel: that's right. >> and kamala has sort of doubled down on relying on say hollywood or superstars like who don't work with their hands for a living, and you get peopll star i believe. rachel: yeah, superstar. >> she's a superstar. she's from detroit right? or from michigan maybe? rachel: uh-huh. >> but that's who she's relying on and normally, politicians always want to be with the people. not with "the rock" stars, but here is lizzo. >> i'm not going to spend any more time on this because we've got work to do. we've got 17 days to get this done and we're not going to be able, we're not going to be able to get these 17 days back and what i think we all know is on election day, we don't want to have any regrets

about what we could have done these next 17 days. >> you all need to hear this. what up? they say if kamala wins then this whole country will be like detroit. well, i say proud like detroit. >> [applause] >> i say resilient like detroit. this is the same detroit that innovated the auto industry and the music industry. >> [applause] >> so put some respect on detroit's name. rachel: think about that contrast so one candidate want the to do maga and the other one is make america detroit again. i mean, detroit, as you said, nice town, nice architecture, but definitely not a model for what we want for the rest of the country. will: but to the place where we began this conversation, the point that you're making, charlie. detroit wasn't always that way and you know, there's a lot of reasons donald trump was appealing to those union and

blue collar voters in pennsylvania and we often talk about the cultural issues and how he connects with them on a cultural level, but you know, i happen to, i think, be lucky enough to be born in a state and now live in a state that really benefits from a booming economy. i mean, you feel it on a day-to-day basis in texas. fortune 500 companies, people moving to texas. the point is, there was a time in american history and it's not all gone where from michigan to pennsylvania, this was the heart of american manufacturing, and two things have assaulted that idea. two things have assaulted that reality. one, undercut competition from overseas places like china. rachel: globalism. will: tariffs but also just in credibly burdensome regulatory state in a corrupt political class that made it an unfriendly place to do business and allowed detroit to rot from within and allowed so much of that to leave pennsylvania and i think that while we do focus on the cultural connection, this is about people's livelihoods and

what was and this is why it is called make america great again and you would hope could one-day again be in all of those states from pennsylvania to ohio all the way to michigan and wisconsin. rachel: they believe him because they saw it happened. i lived in one of those manufacturing towns that was sort of depressed and kind of going under and donald trump came in and things were on the up-and-up and i remember going to sean into a welding factory whe e welding and the welders had written trump on their welding hats. why? because they knew who brought this back and so this connection that you see , this love as you said, not what the union boss as charlie pointed out but with the workers is not just because they believe he can do it. it's because he did do it and then it stopped and now he wants to bring back american energy and american manufacturing back. let's bring in shannon bream our host from fox news sunday to kind of tell us what you think

about this. >> good morning guys how are you? will: good morning. well shannon we have this issue we're talking about in the upper midwest of course the swing states. victor davis hanson, he has an op-ed at the new york post that said this is an election that is the lecturers versus the lectured. that's the headline, and voters are getting ticked. he writes in there, the election has become a larger contest between those who talk down to their fellow americans and those increasingly sick and tired of being lectured. harris along with surrogates obama and clinton has been lecturing both black and white male voters non-stop, that they are mislead. or they suffer from false consciousness. the trump campaign tries all sorts of strategies to win over women voters, but one that they avoid doing is claiming women are ignorant. and that the real self-interest ignorant of the real self-interest and are diluted by harris accurately assuming a candidate doesn't win voters by belittling their intelligence. >> yeah, and this is interesting to me, because he's

not the only one saying this. on the other side of the aisle you guys will remember not that long ago james carvelle was warning his party saying listen people feel like they are being preached to that you have to stop being so masculine and being so interested in football and you really have to soften up and he talked about the fact that when people feel like they are being lectured or being insulted for the way they are, the way they think, the kind of person they are it sounds like the same conversation that victor davis hanson is outlining that people want to be inspired by, you know, feeling hopeful, that you can make your own decisions, we believe in you that kind of thing. you know, the tough love that president obama happenedded out a few days ago hasn't been well-received everywhere. steven a. smith not a trump guy. he says he's voting for kamala harris. he didn't like the way that message landed and that it's insulting to some people who have their own ideas about why they are voting the way they are voting. rachel: especially as you just jump off your island on martha's

vineyard and then he lives such a privileged life and americans understand that, and then he comes oust and says it's not so bad. why don't you just vote for the femininist project and breaking the glass sealing. don't worry about how you put food on your table. >> yeah, it l be interesting to see if this is anecdotal stuff but when i saw that steven a. smith came out knowing he definitely wants democrats to win this race i thought wow there's passion there and i'm sure he's not the only one and now we've seen reaction from other people also saying don't tell me because i'm a certain person i've got to vote a monolithic certain way. give me respect for being able to think for myself. >> it's not like democrats aren't looking to make big changes. here is a post from ilhan omar. we need to radically reform the broken supreme court. that starts with expanding the number of justices, a binding and enforceable codes of ethic, imposing term

limits, scotus reform is on the ballot in november, 17 days left until election day. nobody knows more about the supreme court than you do, of course but she's talking about big changes here. >> she is, and remember, when president biden was still atop the tick oat he had also signed off on changes over the summer that would also be changes to the supreme court. vice president harris then not on the ticket but still said she was supportive of that as well of the plans there and you've heard a number of democrats over the last several years including when chuck schumer stood on the steps of the supreme court essentially calling out justices by name and saying they were going to reap a whirl wind of trouble. he later said maybe i shouldn't have used those exact words i didn't mean to sound like i was threatening them but it's clear democrats want to see a change because it's not coming out with decisions that they actually are in agreement with. now interesting enough though, there are plenty of decisions that have been substantive this year. will: the majority. >> the majority are 8-1 and 9-0

and remember this year a couple of states including colorado that tried to kick president trump off the primary ballot it was a 9-0 decision against that so these judges do stick together on important issues. there are going to be really tough 5-4 decisions of course but that doesn't mean you change the makeup of the courts. will: radical stuff they are talking about here. what do you have coming up on fox news sunday? >> we have got up and coming important governors who may be the future of their party, wes moore democrat out of maryland, glenn youngkin, republican out of virginia we'll talk about the state of the race, they are surrogates for the current candidates but what about the future too. will: thank you, shannon. rachel: thanks, shannon. >> charlie: turning to your headlines. around 100 rockets were fired at northern israel from lebanon this morning it comes as the israeli military says it struck at least two hezbollah strongholds in beirut overnight. meanwhile former president trump confirming he and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu

spoke on the phone yesterday commending him for not listening to president biden's advice. >> he's telling bb netanyahu don't do this , don't do that, don't do this , all our great congressmen are there. don't do any of these things, and bb didn't listen to him and i'll tell you what they are in a much stronger position now than three months ago. >> charlie: netanyahu is reportedly set to meet with his security cabinet as israel prepares to launch a retaliatory strike against iran. the coast guard repatriating 169 haitian migrants after encountering this overloaded makeshift boat taking on water just south of turks and caicos last week. an air-crew from miami spotted the group. officials say the migrants were processed and treated on a coast guard cutter before they were sent back to haiti. and now, to football.

the georgia bulldogs taking down top-ranked texas longhorns yesterday. 30-15, getting them their first loss of the season. ouch! that's gotta hurt. will: thank you. thank you. >> i mean, i don't know how you hads -- will: show up for work the next morning? >> yeah. i just don't know. that's got to be worse than a whole night of nightmares. will: okay, all right, thank you, charlie. >> charlie: and the cyclones needed this last minute touchdown to squeek past ucf, 38-35 in bloomington, indiana, dominating nebraska 56-7 yesterday, the hoosiers are now 7 & 0 for the first time in foreman five decades better than texas and finally to knoxville, pennsylvania getting the best of a bitter rival, alabama last

night. >> 19 times. he fires and it is intercepted! >> [applause] >> will brooks picked it up. >> unlike texas, vols win 24-17 and fox has a great slate setup including america's game of the week the 49ers hosting a chiefs in the rematch of last year's superbowl and those are your miserable headlines. will: thank you so much, that's so nice. >> charlie: anything i can do. rachel: i've got better headlines. fox launched this past week we had a whole week and at the end of the week, a fox news, which you could by the way get it, so if you don't know our fox news has their own as a website with all great digital news, and now, that same website will be in spanish and if you go to that website you can also click on to a banner and you'll get connected to our show.

you'll probably see my face on it and you click on that and that will get you the show and you could see all of the shows we did this past week or tune in live for it. will: so you've launched? rachel: we have launched. and at the end of the week, we had rick because what people don't realize is that rick got his start on television on cnn in spanish. >> charlie: forgive part of that. it's not going to go over well for somebody. it happens. rachel: i was on mtv. will: is it going to be in spanish? rachel: his young days when he wasn't making good decisions. >> let's play a little of this. >> [speaking in spanish]

>> [speaking spanish on fox noticias] will: look at you, rick. very impressive. rachel: holding his own. >> during commercial breaks rachel is teach will and me how to speak spanish. rachel: i tried to get will on because will actually speaks spanish a lot of people don't realize that. he does. will: [speaking spanish] rachel: he wasn't as brave as rick. come on. will: i'm not brave in spanish. rachel: [laughter] >> very impressive. will: very impressive. rick: a very big week,

congratulations and you're working your butt off. i know you are to do that. it's more days but it's also a lot to ca carry a show like tha. rachel: my brain hurts. rachel: i think that it feels full. rachel: i want to thank you for coming in. i invited will to do that. he didn't give me the same support. will: it's so embarrassing. i'll do it for you. i do it every saturday and sunday. thank you, rick. still ahead, lara trump joins us live, more fox & friends just moments away.

i just saw, i was talking to a friend who lives in bergen county, new jersey, they are in her county as well so what else don't we know about this? how is this different than say other gangs? even violent gangs like ms-13? >> yeah, rachel. i think a lot of americans are just starting to learn about this. they really caught not just americans by surprise. they caught law enforcement communities, law enforcement agencies by surprise throughout utility country. they are now present in at least 15 st states in america. but there is two things. the first is that they are state-sponsored meaning this isn't like other trans-national organizations they grew from a poor neighborhood and kind of took over urban and suburban neighborhoods. this one was created specifically by the government, to take over other criminal organizations in venezuela and then to export it outside of venezuela following the venezuelan migration that left the country, the large

migration in the world, 8 million that fled since 2014 so this is -- rachel: so why? so why would the government of venezuela want to state-sponsor this kind of gang? what's their motive? >> it's the same reason why iran sponsors hamas or sponsors hezbollah, because these type of regimes, they look at terrorism and trans-national organized crime as weapons of warfare so they are using these as weapons to destabilize first of all of south america, but the real intent was to use these weapons to destabilize the united states. since the beginning of the revolution which is what chinese is, they have declared the united states as an enemy going back to 1999 and developing methods and tools to attack us, not through conventional means or military but through criminal, through terrorists, and through migrants, and that's what this is. that's fundamentally what this is. the other thing, rachel, that makes them a bit unique is because they are tied to the regime they have a bit of the socialist underpinning and

an ideological makeup. when you start to see them do what they call invasion which is is squatting in empty buildings, or taking over apartment complexes, this is what they did in venezuela and they call it invasions because they attack property rights. that's a fundamental thing that they are trained in, inside the venezuelan prisons and we're starting to see it today in american streets. rachel: that is so fascinating which makes it all the more just infuriating when you hear elites on that incredible interview that martha radditz, with j.d. vance where sheas like it's only a few apartment buildings. first of all she lives in a nice house, and it was invading her home she wouldn't feel quite like this about it but iem like the press and democrats either they don't know what you know about the ideological underpinnings and the a symmetrical warfare that's so frightening they are trying to invade our country and destabilize it or they don't care. what is your take on this because a lot of people are

scratching their heads wondering why would the democrats leave the border open just knowing about this alone? >> i think one of the reasons is they are part of the problem. it's their failed policies that allowed this to happen. it's unique in the sense that not like ms-13 has been around for decades. this is uniquely a biden-harris problem. this was not in the united states prior to 2021. after 2021 they started growing incrementally and now they are exploding throughout the country and this check. they did this because the biden-harris administration didn't understand that venezuela has a unique vetting problem. we don't get any information from the venezuelan government about criminals that are coming from their country. we have no cooperation with that regime and because of that the vetting of venezuelan migrants has to be done more carefully but instead of slowing down the vetting process as you think you would do with this situation they sped it up through parole programs and that's the way they found their way inside america. rachel: it's such an incredible

story. joseph, you're always a wealth of information on this. i wish you were advising the biden-harris administration on this information. seems like they are the people that ought to be more aware of it protecting us and closing the border so this wouldn't have happened but i'm glad you pointed out this is a biden-harris phenomenon. this idea of these transnational gangs in our country starting in 2021. joseph thanks for joining us. >> absolutely, thank you, rachel. rachel: north carolina early voters exceed 2020 turnout, all while recovering from hurricane helene. go get them. rnc co-chair lara trump on what it means for the campaign, next. ♪ hallowed be thy name. thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. give us this day our daily bread and
