trump's republican party. trump team picked sunday night football and behind bullet-proof glass in pittsburgh, the former president pfs warmly received. >> usa! usa! usa! >> peter: trump's biggest event yesterday was not at a stadium, it was at a drive-thru. a franchise owner worked with secret service for him to make it safe to pass bags through the drive-thru and work the fry cooker. something the former president seemed excited about. >> i love mcdonald's, i love jobs.

somebody puts down a big part their resume they worked at mcdonald's. >> you have worked at mcdonald's. >> i worked 15 minutes than kamala. >> why did she lie about that? >> because she's lying kamala. that is why. >> peter: at the fry station, mcdonald's trainee spilled salt and threw some over his left shoulder. not sure how that affects his next shift. >> brian: we do not have proof, she says it multiple times, it is the vice president worked at mcdonald's. she keeps saying it and can't prove it. >> peter: it is the vice president and her friend. no documentation, no photos. a friend has come forward saying

she remembers hearing the vice president talk about working at mcdonald's back in the day. >> lawrence: she wrote it in a book and mentioned it in 2019. they be went to the site at the same mcdonald's and they have not been able to verify it. if she did do it, she could have had the opportunity to go to mcdonald's and secret service could have done the same thing. she let the billionaire beat her doing it. >> brian: remember, governor walz loves to hunt and he couldn't load a gun. if you put her to do the fries and she looks like a novice, she will be like walz and his be berrbe

berreta. >> ainsley: contrast of the two. he's going to n.f.l. games and they are loving him and he goes to mcdonald's and frying fries and lady at the upon front putting apron on him >> and she has lizzo and obamas campaigning for her. this video speaks for itself. hes was funny talking about what do you like most at mcdonald's. i like it all. >> lawrence: which is true. >> ainsley: he's a germophone. he said doesn't touch the human hands. >> lawrence: he got a tutorial on working the fryer and then went to the drive-thru. >> you wouldn't mind this job, i like this job. i might come back and do it

beating you at that, ainsley. >> ainsley: it resonates with american people. trump is going to barber shops and talking to people about issues. what is your family going through? one guy says he is worried about losing his business, barber shop owner says his energy bill was $1400 and now it is $15,000, how do you survive? >> lawrence: him as a business man can relate to that. a barber shop full of men and talking about issue of the day and one issue that came up is education and what is being taught to kids and what shouldn't be talked there. this is former president reacting. >> i have a five-year-old son in public school right now. i have a lot of people asking me questions as far as failing school systems is that we have

in the bronx. >> they are failing. >> what are we going to do to improve that? >> we are moving them back from people ina washington. in washington, you go department of education, you got half the building department of education. you don't need any of them. i want one person and a secretary to just make sure they are teaching english. okay. teach them a little english. reading, writing and arithmetic. no transgender operations. your boy leaves for school and comes back a girl. without parental consent. what sathat all about? could you imagine without c consent? when i was told that was

happening, there are areas where it happens. we will not let it happen. we will straighten out a lot and give you a lo the of jobs and economy and straighten yourself out. >> lawrence: reaction when talking about what is happening to kids. y'all are parents, i'm not. a lot of men donald trump like they are taking rights of parents away and teaching them nonsense. you will love your child regardless, the school does not get to make the decision to transition them to another gender. it is happening and it is an authentic conversation. >> ainsley: unbelievable you would not be notified for such a major decision. >> brian: over the weekend, go to big crowd, sometimes they are supporters and sometimes they are hecklers. kamala harris prides herself on i'm talking now, my microphone.

>> lawrence: i'm speaking. >> brian: the chant interrupting her was pro-jesus. >> lawrence: great day for christians. >> ainsley: they yelled out jesus is lord and she said, you're at the wrong rally, which is a weird response knowing that was your heckle and it happened to j.d. vance some students or people yelled jesus is king. >> brian: did you tape both of them? >> ainsley: i have both and i put them together with my edit machine in my office. >> lawrence: you're good. >> ainsley: here we go. >> we remember donald trump hand-selected three members of the united states supreme court with intervention to undue protection of roe v. wade and they did as he intended.

[cheering] >> oh, you guys are at the wrong rally, you meant to go to the smaller one down the street. >> there is something bizarre with kamala harris anti-christian ret and i can and approach to public policy. >> that is right, jesus is king. [cheering] >> lawrence: here is the problem with this, i think the day before you, had the pro-palestinian people, pro-hamas folks in her rally and she kicked them out, true. she said after, let's be clear, these kids have a point here. i stand with people in gaza. compare and contrast to what she did there. she did not kick them out and say, they have a point, jesus is king. to say you are at the wrong

rally, i think jesus should be welcome. >> ainsley: if it was krift cal clear and she said that, i was shocked any politician would put down number one religion in our country and yelling out something so personal to many of us. >> brian: j.d. vance was b bartending over the weekend, too. blue collaring it. >> ainsley: that shows difference, for many of us, faith is important and when you yell out jesus is lord and she says you're at the wrong rally. >> lawrence: what does that mean? >> ainsley: the other candidate is yelling out, you are right, jesus is king. >> lawrence: what donald trump is doing and j.d. vance b bartending, that was supposed to be harris- walz, they were

supposed to be the everyday people, coach walz. when they attempt it, they don't seem natural or relatable. >> brian: we'll see if it is a short run for jim gafigan, as tim walz, we'll find out. >> lawrence: great job. >> ainsley: the actors playing all candidates, really good. students in the audience were on "fox and friends" afterward. >> i yelled to the crowd that abortion is sack riment of satan. i believe that as a christian. 10 seconds go by and the video of my friend grant and i proclaiming jesus is lord and king. she is waving at me.

>> this is what you get with a kamala harris presidency. you are going to get kamala harris that alienates over 50% of the u.s. population that is christian. >> lawrence: all she had to do was say amen. amen, but this is please leave the rally, i'm doing my speech. she gave another moment to average day people saying, why would she say that. any other politician would have did -- around >> ainsley: either she heard and it believes they are at wrong rally, or she says she prepared for hecklers. maybe she did not hear what they said and she yelled that out. >> brian: separate note, carley shimkus been preparing to ifr

dollar news. >> carley: good morning, fox news alert here new house report reveals july assassination attempt could have been prevented. secret service did not give clear guidance how to handle the hard perimeter and did not have a meeting with local law enforcement. evidence ortained to date shows tragic and shocking events of july 13 were prevent ablg and should not have happened. steel workers joining former president trump on stage as they gave him a hard hat and support in pennsylvania over the weekend. the workers joined us earlier this morning. >> i want people to know all the st steelworkers are for president trump. >> when president trump stepped in and imposed tariffs on the chinese, i believe he saved the steel industry.

>> carley: steel workers endorsing trump with two weeks left until the election. and dodgers heading to world series on fox after taking down the mets in the nlcs. >> on the virge of making it happen. there is bouncing ball to second. taylor has it. los angeles is alive and heading to the world series. dodgers and yankees in the fall classic. >> carley: dodgers face yankees. game one of the world series will be in los angeles on friday. coverage starts 7 p.m. eastern time only on fox. players are doing a lot of traveling. >> ainsley: coast to coast. >> lawrence: tickets are going to be insane. two legendary teams. >> ainsley: are you disappointed it will not be the subway

series? >> brian: of course. no one looks at that and says mets are the better team or dodgers are, mets had a great season. trump met with roaring crowds and j.d. vance bartended ahead of the game. michele tafoya is next.

>> ainsley: happening today, jury selection will begin in the manslaughter trial of daniel penny, the man who put a man in a new york city subway car in a choke hold. madeleine rivera. >> it is cb, sorry, my friend. >> no problem. daniel penny faces 19 years in prison if convicted on charges. you may remember, he pleaded not guilty to second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide stemming from the fatal chokehold on jordan neely last year. jordan neely, who was homeless, began shouting and acting

erratically. attorneys said penny did not in tend to kill jordan neely. prosecutors only have to prove that penny acted negligent. penny's team appears confident telling fox, our team looks forward to commencing jury selection and selecting fair and impartial jury that will clear danny of wrong 2k4r9doing. an attorney for the neely family says someone got on a train screaming, someone else choked them to death. penny ceased his existence. paul mauro says the jury is most krift cal piece of this case. >> it will come down to who is on that jury and what perspective they bring to this.

right when they go and appear in festivities like this. i recall a new york jets game and donald and melania trump, years ago before he came down the goldes escalator, came to a game and the crowd responded in a way i was startled. i didn't realize how popular he was. wow, the form upper president is here and potentially future, that is cool. when j.d. vance stands behind a bar and serves beers and talks to people in the way j.d. vance is so good at and you're doing this in pennsylvania and wisconsin, those things connect. >> brian: joe green endorsed harris and jerome bettis and levion bell, does this matter? >> michele: a split in

pittsburgh steelers. bettis endorsed trump and antonio brown and le'veon bell registering people to vote out in the parking lot. all four men are black, different generations. i don't know which is more effective, i'm hearing more and more just particularly men, they are really tired of being told their masculinity is not kind of masculinity harris-walz ticket supports and they are pushing back in maybe the most powerful way by voting. >> brian: i saw lawrence taylor in that huge new york jersey and he endorsed president trump. we'll see what it means. good luck with your podcast today. >> michele: thank you. >> brian: "fox and friends"

go there. polls are showing inflation and not the border, the border is third, they have inflation and economy as number one and two issue. i disagree, i think inflation is massive, the economy is massive, but the border is the fabric of our country, we have the st strongest border in history. four years ago, you did not have problems you have now. last week they non--ed we had 1 13,000 murders released from jail all over the world, including south america. biggest problem we have is the border. it is the hardest thing to solve, only way to solve it, get the criminals and murderers out fast before they prey on our people. >> that was a big question for me, i am retired new york city

detectives, in new york we have run across that for a long time. >> you are not allowed to do your job. 10 or 15 years, when you were there, you were allowed to do your job. they are still new york's finest, they are not allowed to do their job. >> when you were president, i was able to see money, save money, spend money. now in the past four years, i'm losing my business. it is my business, i started it for 10 years. i can speak are approximate for myself. i don't know what more to do, how can we make the economy come back? >> lawrence: how do you get to the bottom of this? >> it began with oil, they screwed with what i did with oil. we were energy independent, you remember back four or five years ago $1.87 for gallon of gas, it

was lower for your car. $1.87 and now it is 3.50 and higher. they brought back my policies to break even but damage was done. we are going to do two things, interest rates going down, it will be brought down, more importantly and quicker, we will drill baby, drill, get our oil, have more that we can do four to five times more than we're doing right now. these people are amazing and we will supply to asia, europe, to everywhere. and that is going to bring down prices, bring down cost of everything. if you make donuts, look at stores, they have trucks and stoves and ovens, you have lighting and equipment and that electric equipment he is using on your beautiful head of hair,

you have a good-looking head of hair, i'm jealous. i would have a flat top. i wish i had a flat top. you never had a hair loss problem, did you? lucky, one of those gifted ones. those machines are expensive, they are running it with electric. no matter what you do, it is about energy. we will bring it down. how is your rent, do you own our rent? >> rented. >> is the landlord a good guy? do you cut his hair? >> he's a good guy. he comes in from time to time. >> if you are as good as your father says, that is important. he could be wealthy and give you low rent. >> lawrence: you have a young guy -- >> how is rent and where was it

five years ago? >> rent was significantly lower, now it is gone up about 1200 since and my issue was more energy. i've been paying $2100 since i first opened up and it shot up to 15,000. >> what? >> you went 2100 to -- how many heads can you take care of? from 2100 to 15,000. here is an example, though, energy. when that comes down, i almost hate to say, you would be 7000, from january 20, if i win, we got to win. and we're in new york and these

guys love new york. if we win -- >> make america great again. >> i love this guy. look at that, give him that hat. i love that guy. that is beautiful. i'll assign yours, too. look at that one. >> he's very busy. >> he's going to keep busy for a long time. >> let me ask you how much is an average haircut? >> $30 or $40. >> what did it used to be? >> $15. >> 10 years ago, we had to make it make sense. we can't charge especially out here. >> do you have guys that negotiate the price? they probably do. >> lawrence: your question for the president? >> what is the plan about food healthcare industry and getting

artificial food banned in urban communities that have less access to organic whole foods? >> bobby kennedy, everybody likes bobby kennedy and he's big into health food and women things, everything, he wants to do things and the environment and he endorsed me. first time a kennedy has endorsed a republican, maybe it will be the last, i doub it. he does not like artificial food and pesticides. if you listen to him for 10 minutes hes other countries are healthier than us. we have mplenty of food and farmers are great and are not allowed to do their job. four years ago, they were doing best they have ever done. not doing good now. we don't want art if i believe

food. i will have bobby kennedy involved. he's a great guy. when i mention his name, you are tough cookies, sometimes you would not like guy like bobby, he's a person that talks more about food and health than anything else. i think that is cool. we'll get it taken care of, you'll be healthier four years from now than you are now and you look very healthy to me. >> lawrence: what do you have? >> my biggest concern is the future and future generation, my kid's generation. a lot of people are worried obtaining the american dream is unattainable for upcoming generation, i have kids that are part of that. >> how many kids? >> two, 17 and 18 year old. >> good. >> now i believe one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to obtaining that american dream is over taxation. when it comes to federal taxes,

i'm sure you will start back up the keystone pipeline. >> in two minutes. >> that will generate revenue and with tariffs, with extra revenue bringing into the country, do you believe some point in time, we can find a way when the country is back on its feet and paying our debt, possible to find way to eliminate federal taxes? >> there is a way, in the old days when we were smart, the 1890s, the country was relatively richest it had been, it did not have income taxes, it had tariffs. now people don't have money to pay tax. old days, 1890, they set up committees how to spend our wealth, we had no idea it was so

much money. we went to income tax and the rest is history. there is a way. if what i'm planning comes out, great question. sophisticated cat. >> everyone could obtain american dream if not for burden of high taxes and we are taxed when we make it and when we spend it. >> i cut more regulation in four years than any other president. >> what is one thing you feel like you didn't do in your first term you can do better now? >> we had the best economy, best border, i did good stuff, rebuilt the military, it is all about people, i got to get the right people. i won 92% of the presidents for whole history of our country will w politicians, eight percet

thank you, gentlemen, for being here. congratulations on another book together. >> i know. we're really happy. i don't know the country has ever needed heroes more than we do now or people willing to sacrifice. this is what it's all about. we were talking about we have sports heroes, great, dodgers and yankees and kc in football. what these people do every one of them. you talk about woody williams. it is like the best day any sports hero ever had. it is so intense. it's unbelievable the stories in the book. >> ainsley: which one stands out? >> you know, they all do. it is an unfair question in a sense. they all share the same great personification of valor and courage. i think from one of my favorites colonel ralph puckett. a korean war veteran. he was the only live interview we did in all the books we've done. colonel puckett was just heroic as the day -- as anyone could

imagine in korea. >> you have a think on woody williams. unbelievable. the whole book is full of these stories that blow your mind. matt has been in heavy duty combat and for him to go i can't believe these stories is just stunning stuff. >> ainsley: set up woody's story for us. >> woody is a young marine and during world war ii and he is just like all these stories the kid next door. and he winds up in the pacific theater and is coming ashore at iwo jima and met with the horrific scenes of the previous battle and he sees the flag and intense japanese, you know, gunfire coming along the beaches and like everything, it is tense and then it just erupts into violence and it's this close. >> i talked to matt about that. i said how close was the action?

you are this close. you are this close. >> ainsley: he survived. >> he did. here is matt. >> ainsley: we know your story. >> this is a book in my opinion that people should read and pass it on to those high school kids and the college kids. if they really understand what sacrifice is all about and what people have done, duty. >> ainsley: he went on woody went on and awarded the medal of honor. your interviewed his grandson. he said to his very last breath any grandfather believed he was the caretaker of the medal of honor. i didn't earn it, he often said, i wear it for those marines who lost their lives protecting mine. so that generation, these individuals that you interviewed, they really are so selfless. >> almost every one of them. they would say that. one brought the whole team to the white house to get the medal of honor. this is about all of us.

>> it's true. dna, you know, i didn't do anything that anybody else wouldn't have done. saw something that needed to be done and they did it. >> ainsley: maybe a good book for a parent to die and every night before you put your children to sleep you read one of the stories. >> for teenagers and college kids. it is important they know these stories. >> ainsley: we need more american heroes. if we can emulate the people in your book it will be a better country. >> small heroic things we can do. go vote, that's a heroic thing to do. >> ainsley: buy their book called american heroes and it is out now. all right. lawrence's final barber shop in atlanta is airing this week. today is monday. i will see you on tuesday morning. thank you so much for watching. have a great day. >> bill: thank you, ainsley. here we go now 15 days on the
