♪ [star-spangled banner] will: good morning. welcome to "fox and friends" saturday morning. a lot to talk about. don't you think? and there are some weekends we come in here, not today. today there is a lot. rachel: on the national anthem, there were a lot of bales of hay and i'm wondering which one was the pete hegseth. i saw one with a flag, surely it is the -- pete: i don't have a farm on the back of my tractor but i'm working on it. will: i would rather you not

come out of the gate hot this morning, you just came shooting right at the harvest. when we went to dinner last night he said i have a lot of people in my ear chirping good. rachel: talking crap about him when he was off the set. will: it was a weekend. you called him a fake farmer. and it got back to him and -- rachel: i was talking about your midlife crisis. pete: seamlessly you go why because you were talking trash about him last week. it was we. your blue for it was -- pete: show me the tape from next week. >> i worry about what is going to turn into next. will: throwing me under the bus and sitting on your side. pete: i wore this just for you. this is for you.

rachel: will is talking about you. all right. we will sort this out. rachel: we have make up. will: that sentence took some ups and downs and didn't know where it would land and when we got to make up, so let's just move on. the consequential and important things of the day of the season, the race for president, where we stand today and that can, dead he'd according to most of the polls, 48% for kamala harris and donald trump. yesterday donald trump sat down for what i think and be accurately described as an unprecedented experience, a 3

hour for presidential candidate on presidents' day experience on the joe rogan experience. >> when you see certain people talk, you don't know who they are, no idea who they are. it's very difficult, you see them in conversations with preplanned answers, they say everything, it's very workers, never get to the meat of it. one of the beautiful things about you with you for a ball, you get out, do these huge events and you are just talking. you have comedic in the stings like when you said to hillary you would be in jail but great timing. it is that kind of stuff was unheard of as a politician, no one had done that and i think -- >> you need at least the attitude of a comedian when you are doing this business. this is dangerous business, very tough business. >> the most dangerous. >> other than going and being a firefighter or carpet is the

most dangerous. >> being president is the most dangerous. >> is special you. you haven't even got to the election and there's been two assassination attempts and they brushed are those out of the news like it was nothing. >> rather not talk about it but i make myself -- i understand what i am doing, you make yourself a target and it's a dangerous business. brian: none of us had a chance to watch all three hours but we encourage you to do so and think of the contrast. all of this -- pete: the content, the willingness to do it creates the contrast with kamala harris who says she might -- we would like to have her on, welcome to come on. i think that's highly unlikely because what trump can do unscripted for three hours as was stated right there. rachel: they talked about his demeanor. he says we have to have the

attitude of a comedian to run for president and he does have -- think about kamala harris, how bitter she has gotten, he is a nazi because she's losing in the polls or in the swing states at least according to the polls and think about everything thrown at this guy and he still has a sense of humor about the whole thing, still talks about people who stabbed him in the back and he chuckles that often goes i guess this is just part of the job. pete: one of the moment you got to see if you delve in just yet but have a full weekend it to listen to all three hours when he talked about an assassination attempt. >> you have a scar on your ear, where was that? >> right over here. it went right there. >> yield a pretty good. >> not like some of the rest of it.

it was like a top shot. the bullet, you see the things taken off a little bit. but it makes me a tougher guy. >> this is a fascinating moment not just the moment in the conversation but the existence of this conversation. i will put this out. joe rogan is massive, huge, different medium and trump has said in previous interviews a lot of people make these comparisons between the size of audiences, they are measured differently depending on the medium and you can't compare apples and oranges and trump said television is underrated but this doesn't undercut how huge joe rogan is. rachel: how big is his audience? will: in the millions. i don't know honestly and it will be clicked up and distributed on social media and people will see portions and it will get covered and it will

happen at the affect of going on this show but the audience to me, the joe rogan experience will have an audience primarily men, younger men. but not exclusively and it is people who were not necessarily exclusively republican. trump has an opportunity to reach out to people who might not already be voting trump. i think that the weight of that going in this, what are the pros and cons? that's the potential pro. the con is what do you do three hours and scripted and the answer is very well. i've seen one of the three hours, he does the weave and weaves everywhere in the conversation, talks history, mckinley, robert ely and he will dispel many of these young men, the caricature painted on him, in the rest of the echo chamber meaning cnn and cbs of

him being dumb for rambling, it is all there for you to see, personable, the weave, knowledgeable, smart, listen to it with your own ears, watch with your own eyes. >> he has 14 million on spots to but if a mac followers, 17 million on youtube. >> on the youtube portion 7.5 million views already, and i've heard some online say i don't know what the exact calculation is but could be over $100 million of earned media he gets out of this. when you consider the paid media advantage kamala harris has had because of the money in her direction there's a lot of value in reaching people that is organically more powerful than a paid ad you hope someone clicks on hours willing to watch. if you spend 20 minutes

engaging with the real donald trump on this you will come out with a different impression. >> the decision a candidate has to make on a campaign trail in these final hours is crucial. where do i spend my time, the most important question and he did make a decision to go three hours and in doing so held up a michigan rally by several hours, people waiting in the cold for him and when he got back on stage he was like i'm sorry i'm late but we got to win and so he understands the significance of that audience. we will add this, the conversation you pointed out about the assassination attempt was really strategically important that he had that upfront in the podcast when people were tuning in because i believe for the audience he's trying to reach it is clear he is making a play for young men, men in general and young men in particular by going on this podcast. the fight fight fight moment was a turning point in terms of

a masculine instinct that it touched with a lot of men and it was smart to talk about that. >> 10 days until election day. for a lot of people it has artie been election day, election months, votes are -- there's diminishing return to all these media appearances because there are so many votes already banked in places, folks authority made their choice. we are covering a lot more of that interview with joe rogan, more clips throughout the morning. we move now to an additional fox news alert. israel carried out a counter strike against iran overnight in response to cheron's october 1st ballistic missile strike. will: they targeted defenses to minutes relapse largest attack ever against iran. rachel: matt finn joins us live in tel aviv from more.

>> reporter: we been waiting to see how iran is going to react and now iran's foreign minister has officially responded saying iran has an obligation to defend itself against external aggressive acts. we plan two iranian soldiers have been killed, the death toll could rise. overnight israel carried out the largest military strike against the country of iran in is really history. the historic attack began at 2:00 a.m. local time, lasting a few hours and finishing before sunrise. shortly afterward iran's terror proxy, hezbollah jumped in and fired some missiles from lebanon into northern israel. israel's strike was in retaliation for two missile strikes iran launched over the past year. israel says it targeted 20 locations including iran's air defense system and missile manufacturing location. by taking down iran after defense system, israel says it can more freely travel throughout iran's air.

the idf's warning iran and any other entity considering pressure tax that the israeli military is at peak readiness both offensively and defensively. >> if the regime in iran were to make the mistake of beginning another round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond. our message is clear, all those who threatened the state of israel and seek to drag the region into water escalation will pay a heavy price. >> reporter: this morning in tel aviv life is carrying on right now. people at the beach walking along the water, the military has urged the public to pay attention to any alerts in the next couple hours or days, people in israel do pay attention to those alerts and take shelter quickly, looking ahead to tomorrow the united states is hosting talks to

de-escalate tension here, possible hostage release deals happening in qatar, egypt acting as a mediator for hamas and rci a director will be there. we will keep you updated on that. back to you. todd: will: morgan ortagus will help us to understand what happened overnight. what's going on right now between israel and iran? while it is described as the largest ever attack on iran. it's like two fighters to keep punching each other, saying okay, let's leave it there before they go into an all-out fight. they are trying to seemingly hit each other without it escalating into an all-out war. how significant, strategically and militarily was this hit on iran? >> first of all i think we've been in an all-out war, we are still assessing what has happened overnight, the key thing to note is there were no

attacks against iranian oil infrastructure or the nuclear facility strikes, those are things that people were talking about the last month judging if israel would hit them. i thought all along it made sense to go after key iranian military targets. if we step back for a second, remember this was the second time that iran had attacked israel with ballistic missiles and drones and sophisticated project tools, happened in april, biden told benjamin netanyahu they were able to shoot down those projectile's. biden told benjamin netanyahu take a knee and considered a win, israel listened at the time they did it. when it happened a month ago it was so flagrant at that point, israel had to respond. a big key difference when iran tried to attack israel, we were able with the united states, when that happened iran's intent was to hit civilian

infrastructure, they wanted to harm civilians. the counterattack last night was aimed at iranian military facilities and done early saturday morning and the middle east, there is no intent at all to harmony civilians, the difference between what iran's terror proxies, hamas and hezbollah, do, where there are specific aims to hurt civilians, big difference between these two attacks. >> happened saturday night local but we learned about it. donald trump heard about it as well and that his rally in michigan he made these comments about kamala harris, take a listen. >> so israel is attacking. we got a war going on and she is out partying. at least we are working to make america great again, that's what we are doing. . he is the worst president in history of the country, she is

the worst vice president in the history of our country. >> it is staggering how little we know about what are kamala harris foreign policy would actually be. she was a senator, she was a vice president, yet talks almost never about it. >> we have some key insights, the person that is her key foreign policy advisor, one of the proponent's, authors of the jcp oh 8, the iran nuclear deal. we anticipate from the advisors she put around her that she would be very dovish towards iran. biden and harris have been wrong at almost every turn with israel over the past year. they told israel repeatedly do not go into rafah, and israel for over a year have had their hands tied behind their back, a few weeks ago, massive

intelligence leak that probably delayed the strikes that israel did last night. such a bad precedent not only for our relationship with israel but for allies around the world and it is why the israelis, the ukrainians before their offensive and kursk didn't tell this administration. he repeatedly see around the world the israelis give the administration a heads up last night, before the pager of walkie-talkie attacks and some of israel's most significant attacks against hezbollah they didn't tell this administration, so key allies feel they can't coordinate with biden and harris because they can't trust them. pete: let's turn some additional headline starting with this. the chinese hackers have reportedly targeted phones used by donald trump and jay d vance.

investigators are working to determine how many encrypted or unencrypted communications were obtained or looked out. the hackers are believed to be tied to china's intelligence services. that's what they tell us and also targeted the harris campaign affiliates and senate majority leader chuck schumer's staff. nassar says one of the space x crew astronauts is in stable condition after being hospitalized after the splashdown off of florida, officials of not reveal the identity of the astronaut who suffered an undisclosed medical issue. the crew returned to earth early friday morning after a lengthy stay aboard the international space station. now the world series, the dodgers stunning the yankees 6-3 in game one over time in los angeles. extra innings last night. the instant classic features late game heroics and controversy.

torres nails one the pate fan snags the wall and the yankees don't take the lead, don't score. yankees fans not happy. the 10th inning, they are down one in extra innings, two outs, bases-loaded, watch. >> the ball goes to right field. it is gone. game one of the world series. >> cooler than that. the grand slam, kurt gibson's famous walkoff where he was hurt and fist pumping around the bases was 1988. a walkoff grand slam, in world series history, game 2 coverage starts at 7:00 eastern on fox. that is pretty cool and those are your headlines.

rachel: i am glad you were reading the sports headlines. what is a grand slam? >> i think it means when you hit the ball and you get all the bases, go around all the bases. will: like a homerun. we got to go. all the bases are loaded. creates an incredible melody of power and possibility. but that energy needs to be reliable to have the same power. and affordable — to keep the melody. at home, on the road, on farms and fleets and even ports — propane and renewable propane lower carbon emissions while harnessing the full symphony of energy. learn more about safe, clean, reliable propane at propane dot com.

will: ten days from the election, trump and harris locked in a tie in a recent national poll. will: the national post declaring it is returning to its roots of not endorsing presidential candidates. decision reportedly made by jeff bezos. >> the move follows other papers including those from harris and tim walz's home state, the minneapolis star tribune refusing to endorse. will: campaign strategist ford o'connell, thanks for being with us this morning, fair to say, i will include you in this the you can tell me if i'm wrong none of us care about the

endorsement of the new york times, washington post or los angeles times but people that i know do care would be kamala harris and tim walz. what does it mean that they are not getting the endorsement of some big newspapers like the los angeles times or the washington post? >> it means the race is slipping away, trump is firing on all cylinders and outworking kamala harris at every turn on the campaign trail and frankly he is going up in all the polls. look at the latest new york times siena paul it says they are tied, two weeks ago harris was up by three. put this in perspective. back in 2016 against hillary clinton on this weekend she was up 5 points so this is a big deal all around, things are trending in trump's direction. >> what states are you looking at? we have this conversation a lot in the next ten days but where are trends the most dramatic in what states? >> he is leading in the real

clear politics average of all seven swing states where he appears strongest right now is in the sunbelt, in north carolina, georgia, arizona and in early voting he is leading in nevada as well. obviously he is going to have to pick off one of the blue wall states whether it is pennsylvania, michigan or wisconsin. right now it appears harris is leading in the early vote in pennsylvania but it will be really really close in all three of the states but i do think the momentum is on trump's side. rachel: she goes out doing more interviews and her poll numbers start to slip as people start to see and hear more from her. on the other hand you have donald trump saying i don't need to do anymore legacy media the he has done "fox and friends" and a few other tv shows but mostly going out on these podcasts. last night making the decision to go for almost three hours on the joe rogan podcast. listen to this and tell me what

this particular podcast means to the race. >> i got three nominations in a row. won the first time, did much better the second time. i get millions the second time and now i am doing it 1/3 time. it is an incredible thing. i never get a good story. i only get bad press. i will say this. it is easier if you are a democrat. if i were democrat i would get a lot of positive press. >> it is a creepy corrupt business and the media to large extent acts as a propaganda arm for the democratic -- rachel: it is interesting because what it proves if he can't get good press from the legacy media and now there's this new thing which are podcasts, you can go on for three hours and show who he really is. is this going to impact the race? >> i think it will. ingenious move. the only thing just as smart is going on the joe rogan podcast

was serving up fries at mcdonald's while kamala harris was dishing out lies, these were political -- joe rogan's podcast goes to young men particularly low propensity voters, these are the exact people who will vote for donald trump, joe rogan was initially for rfk junior who endorsed donald trump, his getting outside the echo chamber going to where the voters are. rogan has 15 million people on spotify, 17, 18 million on youtube, this is golden, will be the future in politics. will: thanks for getting up with us this morning. newly released emails in colorado show some authorities may have known about the illegal immigrant gang threat for nearly year. her congressional candidate their next.

rachel: a councilwoman sounding the alarm with e-mails suggesting people in the aurora police department knew about the migrant gang threat saying an internal email went out last november saying, quote, they decided to make denver their headquarters due to sanctuary policies and location but one year later residents are being forced to leave their homes because of the violence happening in their town. former head of isis denver region and congressional candidate for that district joins us now. this is infuriating. i can't imagine if i was one of the residents being told that tda is not in denver, colorado, finding out there were emails and the cops knew, your reaction? >> it an absolute mess.

the councilwoman has been raising the alarm on this for 2 or 3 months. those of us like myself who have been talking about this, said they were here and leaders in the community, the mayor, city manager, aurora city police department leadership has denied it and these e-mails come out and we were beginning to see exactly what they knew at least for a year. rachel: the dhs new. i've been talking about congressman troy mills who wrote a letter to alejandra mayorkas from homeland security over 2.5 years ago saying you guys know that these prisons are releasing prisoners in tda and telling border patrol look out for these guys but you are not telling citizens that you know this is happening while the border is open. there's a lot of culpability to go around. what was your reaction when you

heard martha when she was interviewing jd van saying it was only a few apartment buildings. >> it was ridiculous to me because it should be 0 apartment buildings, we should have no venezuelan gang members in the united states. you are mentioning the vetting. the vetting is horrible. we don't share common information with venezuela, border patrol is not coming up with any criminal history on these guys that are similar leading them into the us and we see what is happening in aurora, colorado where these guys are escorting people, kidnapping, they just got the fingers off of a man in aurora and an extortion attempt. we have to put our foot down on this because this gang needs to be stopped before they get even stronger. rachel: they are the leaders on sex trafficking. it's great to have you on. thanks for joining us, thanks

for sounding the alarm on it and hopefully someone like you will get a leadership position to put a end to it. appreciate it. we also got a statement from the police and they said we must are member police departments and the justice system as a whole must rely on admissible evidence, not hearsay, rumors and fragments of information was contrary to claims, the city, including aurora police department has remained consistent in responses on this matter. the pennsylvania senate race is heating up after firefighters in deep blue philadelphia extinguished ties with democrats. their union president is up next but first, adam, what's going on in ohio state? >> it is 630 in the morning and we are already starting to get a line.

[ british accent ] oh, yes, lord scrapington. he's taking a walk to explore the shire. >> sirens are sounding for bob casey's campaign after firefighters union in philadelphia ditched the

incumbent and endorsed republican dave mccormick instead. paramedics union president mike brosnan joins us, your lifelong firefighter, you've been in this business for a long time. it is rare that unions like yours endorse republicans or against an incumbent. why in this race did you think dave mccormick was the right pick? >> the process is the candidates have the opportunity to come to the executive order, both candidates did. we have to tell you dave mccormick was very impressive, he looked us in the eye, said he supported our issues. we explained in detail about our issues and senator casey, the first time we met senator casey in all these years. pete: that happens a lot with

politicians, they come around and talk to people when they need your vote but for 6 years you don't see them. what is it about, your union membership, are they trending in a republican direction and makes the endorsement like this easier? >> we don't survey them but from social media posts, members we know i -- my personal opinion is it is trending to republicans. in the city, it's a deep blue city and i'm seeing a lot of trump signs in lawns, not only trump signs but trump signs that people have purchased. pete: people dubbed the muscular class, folks that work hard that traditionally would have been especially in philadelphia a reliable democrat constituency. why have folks like you who work hard for a living, blue

collar jobs, why have you moved toward republicans, donald trump, dave mccormick, what are the issues that draw you in? >> in philadelphia, locally our union has been hurt by democrats. we had a democratic mayor who closed fire companies and to this day don't remain open and when trump came into office his administration gave us federal grants to open four of those companies and we had a mayor after that who made us pay more for our pensions which you always you republicans doing that. we say who is hurting us, who is helping us and take them into consideration every time. pete: this is philadelphia. imagine changes in places that are more traditionally more favorable to republicans. thanks for sharing your thoughts and having the guts to stick up for the folks who have your back.

>> i told the senator he is more qualified just for having 6 looters. pete: that tells you a lot about somebody. thanks for your time. let's check in now with adam klotz with his fox weather forecast, he's done double duty this morning, pumping the game and giving the forecast. >> reporter: pumping the game and giving the forecast. oh.

perfect football weather type of day. it's just a little on the cool side this morning but we are warming up and how are we warming up, with the energy because oh -- a lot of ohio state fans out here early this morning which, this one. i was kind of impressed by this guy right here be close we've got a nebraska man. what are you saying? you might be in for a long day. you are expected to lose by 25. it was a tough week in indiana. what are you hoping for? >> college football world. >> that it from out here. tossing it back to you. you know what i do when i toss it back. oh, i love it out here. brian: fox's big noon kickoff starts at 10 am eastern time.

pete: a resentencing for the men then does brothers opening a pathway for their release, the trial happening decades ago so let's bring you up to date. if you recently watched a netflix documentary about the men in their series of start to 1989, the brothers shot and killed their parents in their beverly hills home, lyle menendez was later arrested, his brother eric turned himself in a few days later. then in july 1993 the menendez brothers go on trial, the jury's were deadlocked for both brothers and their trial but the retrial began in 1995. ultimately in 1996 both brothers were convicted of first-degree murder sentenced to life without possibility of parole. in 2023 the brothers attorneys asked the court to reconsider the conviction and look for a new sentence.

a netflix drama released in september this year based on the brothers case and several documentaries have come out recently. this seems to have inspired george gascon's office to review new evidence in the case and from that, recommends now resentencing. is it a good idea? here to debate is president of the west coast trial lawyers, thank you for being with us this morning. i know you are on separate sides of this issue but before we get into that debate let's talk about the new evidence and why there would even be a possibility of resentencing the menendez brothers. this has to do with sexual abuse by their parents, no evidence suggesting that was perhaps true. what would that mean for resentencing? >> it has nothing to do with

the resentencing. even if you are sexually abused that doesn't give you a license to kill your parents, shoot them in the back of the head while they are watching tv. we don't know what happened and we shouldn't be making decisions based on a netflix documentary or kim kardashian saying they were abused. hold an evidentiary air rehearing and then maybe you might consider resentencing but not based on what's happening outside the courtroom, witnesses testifying and authenticating allegations, and the letter eric allegedly wrote to his cousin 8 months before the murder. will: that letter is key and that is something you point to, this letter seems to confirm, 8 months before the murders, seems to give some validation to the claim that their father was sexually abusing them. in your mind, this is grounds for resentencing. explained to us why.

the length of the sentence they got compared to other people who might have been motivated by similar abuse. >> at the time in the first trial, it's important to remember that there were two hung the jerry's when the defense was able to bring up the extent of the abuse. they were hung juries because they were able to hear all that. they were convicted and sentenced to life in prison. and the second trial they were both able to hear it and i think society has come a long way. one of the prosecutors made the argument in the second trial men can't be raped to. society has changed its views on domestic violence and sexual abuse. given their ages at the time and also those meta-gating factors those should have been taken into account. will: if i look at other murders motivated by abuse,

they receive smaller sentences than the men and as brothers. >> i understand the argument. they got 10 years, kaiser got 11 years but there's justice and there's the law. it doesn't fall within any of the four corners of the law. california law, you kill multiple people, life in prison without possibility of parole. you are going around the law to give them a break. maybe they deserve it but is it the right call when it is based on politics when the district attorney is doing this two weeks before he is elected? will: we want to get it right for the sense of justice. i'm tired of time. they killed the mother too. if he is alleged of the abuse doesn't that undercut the motivation if they killed the mother too? >> i see the argument but it is important to remember this is not a pardon and not even a recommendation they walk free. this is a recommendation they be eligible for parole.

will have more steps for them to get out if they do. will: that is the beginning of what will be a much longer debate. thanks for being with us this morning. more "fox and friends" coming up. the virus that causes shingles is sleeping... in 99% of people over 50. it's lying dormant, waiting... and could reactivate. shingles strikes as a painful, blistering rash that can last for weeks. and it could wake at any time.
