pitcher andy pettite on his work supporting the nation's heroes. all this on fox news sunday. >> hello again from fox news in washington, today americans mark 21 years since the deadliest terrorist attack on american soil, killing nearly 3000 people and countless others in the aftermath. this is a live look at the pentagon, where later this hour, president biden will pay tribute to those lost on 9/11. meanwhile, britain is marking biggest change to its storied monarchy in search decades. the queen stood in solidarity after 9/11 and reminded us that grief is the price we pay for love. in a moment we'll ask jane

hartley about the relationship between the u.s. and the u.k. we begin in team coverage, martha is live with more on the end of an era for the world's longest serving monarch and eric is live from lower manhattan. good morning, shannon. it has been 21 years, seems as though not one day has gone by. we gather at ground zero to honor and remember. there is familiar sights and sounds we have seen over the last decade, government officials, survivors, first responders and family members of the victims honoring those who were killed here by radical islamic terrorism. there will be four moments of silence when the two jetliners hit both jet towers and when the two towers crumbled to the ground.

there will be reading of the name of the victims ongoing right now, 2963 people killed by radical islamic terrorism. vice president harris, attorney general merrick garland are here to honor those who died and remember vice president harris who arrived in washington. president biden will be at the pentagon to mark where united 93 crashed. decades have not diminished our memories or for many, the pain reminded the taliban has taken over the afghanistan and also that the biden administration killed the leader in july, that the threat remains that the philosophy is still with us. tonight the tribute and light will soar into the sky, two

gleaning towers that remind us all, not just of what we losts, but the threat that still exists. shannon. >> eric shawn from new york. turn to the anchor of the story, martha maccallum. good to see you, martha. >> martha: good to see you, shannon, congratulationings on your inaugural program, i wish you a long tenure in this spot. we are cover thanksgiving story all throughout the days to come. the funeral is scheduled, it will be a week from monday and i'm reminded listening to shawn's report, september 13th, the queen in a wise and gracious move took that moment to allow the playing of the u.s. national anthem, the star-spangled banner outside for all those gathered.

it was extraordinarily moving moment. brits had tears streaming down their faces. it was typical of her grace and understanding of the moment and i think that is why people talk about integrity and dignity, that built that reputation. today we started the day with her coffin exit from the gates of balmoral castle, favorite home for her, place she had gone in scotland with her sister margaret and her mother. she cherished her ability to be free there, to walk the highlands and go hiking, barbecues on the sides of the river she loved to have with her family that extended through this summer. she worked until the very end. we learned new details about her final days. she had dinner with her family

at balmoral castle on monday evening. tuesday she met with liz truss. on wednesday, she was told her doctors did not want her to take part in a virtual meeting with the council and in the past she said she wanted to work until the very end and she felt, when i stop, i drop. she did work until that last moment, we have that wonderful picture of her with liz truss, smiling with her kilt on at balmoral castle. right now beautiful aerial shots of her casket as it travels through the countryside to edinboro. prince charles, at buckingham palace, those are the crowds you see gathered, he is meeting with representatives about the commonwealth about the future of the commonwealth and trying to cement those relationships, which have been under strain in recent years. >> yeah, such a big part of the conversation moving forward. thank you very much, we'll stick

with you for continued coverage for days to come. thank you, martha. joining me is u.s. ambassador to the u.k., jane hartley. welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> i want to reflect back on that moment as we remember 9/11 today and that moment that was so important when the queen broke with 600 years of tradition and protocol to do this at buckingham palace. ♪ >> i remember being so touched by that at the time it happened and still brings a tear to my eye. what can you say about what queen elizabeth meant to united states here in the united states. >> i remember that day also, i was a new yorker and i was in new york that tragic, tragic day

and i want to give my condolences to the families of 9/11 today. i do remember that moment. i was there. it spoke a lot and showed the queen's kindness. she was a kind, sensitive woman who loved america and i think america loved her right back and it is amazing being here during this, i got here a couple of months ago and she welcomed me to buckingham palace with a huge amount of kindness and cared deeply about the special relationship and i have been an ambassador before and i will tell you this relationship is strong and the number one relationship, different than we have with other countries. >> absolutely, she served a dual role, head of the church of england and much have been said about her statements about faith.

christianity today, put this way, part princess and part pope, guardian and great glandmother, diplomat and disciple, her majesty the queen was the calm that carried on stabilize the nation and commonwealth during periods of historic change and technological advancement. crazy to think over 70 years how much the world changed, technology, culture and so many things, what kind of legacy do you think she leaves behind? >> in terms of the 70 years, if i could comment. her first prime minister was winston churchill, 1874, and liz truss was the last and born in 1974. it is quite incredible and i am the second female ambassador in london, the first after 50 years and when i think of the role she played as a woman 70 years ago, it is why there is so much

respect and admiration for her. >> i know you were there during the jubilee and it seemed such a gift that while she was alive and well enough to see the great love, the great respect, tributes flowing out to her at that time, you know, we also think how more recently we saw her smiling and more open, we think back on the 2012 os olymps and she was part of the ceremony and there was a video of her parachuting with james bond. it was cheeky andun if, you had a chance to see that side of her, as well. >> i did, i only met her once when i was presenting credentials at buckingham palace, but it really was a fascinating experience, obviously. it was the hottest day in history, they couldn't send the horse and carriage, in her

kindness, they sent her own car. the policy oriented substantive, she was well informed and very happy i had my dog with me and we had a chat about that. she had a wonderful sense of humor, the thing you started this program and i commend you for doing it, her sense of duty, sense of duty to country and institution for 70 years, you just don't see that much anymore. even her last meeting, she met with liz truss to ask her to form a government three days before she died. fulfilling her commitment to this country that as long as she lived, she would serve, i find that so admirable and i have so much respect for her. >> it is very inspiring, she thread this careful needle to be apolitical as monarch there in

the u.k. "wall street journal" says she had politics in the way her son found difficult to do, her personal views on important questions from suez canal to brexit remains unknown for many years and to this day, ambassador, we don't know how she felt about hot button issues. king charles says he will change the way he supported progressive issues moving forward as monarch. how important to the queen's legacy she was able to be so atypical and what kind of challenge does that present for the king? >> i think it was very important, what she was here, she was a stability, a dignity, and frankly a beacon of hope, beacon of hope during difficult times over her 70 years. she was not one party or the other, she was not politics. but i do think listening to the king's remarks the other night,

his mother would have been proud, they were filled with service and duty and dignity. he will have to chart his own course, he is obviously a link to the past and a bridge to the future, but i have been so impressed with him in these last few days. >> we mention just months ago she had the joy of the jubilee and now her people are celebrating and mourning her, can you give us a sense of the transition and how people are dealing with that in the u.k. this morning? >> it is very sad, when her death was announced i was at the winfield house and had staff both u.k. and american staff there and when it was announced, immediately everybody burst into tears. somehow there was this sense that everybody, even though you knew it was coming, somehow it still seemed too soon.

so i think the country is heartbroken. she also, because 70 years, she's touched so many people and she was out in communities and cared about people. everybody you meet has a story. i was there when i was tre12, ai shook her hand. i saw her four months ago up in scotland, it is very personal, personal for this country and i absolutely understand it. i have respected her as a woman, for very long time, and i feel a bit heartbroken myself. >> uh-huh. ambassador hartley, thank you for your time, please let folk know our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with the u.k. this morning. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> up income, we'll speak to lawmakers about the national unity, is it possible? president's agenda and the gruelling midterm ahead as fox news sunday remembers this

that makes work from home, work for you. >> shannon: this is a day each year when many americans reflect on how unified we felt as we

faced terror. this year unity apeers to be in shorter supply rushing into the final two months of midterm election, this morning we speak to john tester of montana, first to tim scott in south carolina. author of "america, a redemption story," senator, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> thank you, shannon, congratulations on your inaugural show, about time you take the lead here. >> shannon: glad to have you on this inaugural program. unity is a big theme, it is something president biden committed to issue but this is like the sound he's been giving lately, here is what he said this week. i'll tell you what he says, extreme maga republicans just don't threaten economic rights, they embrace political violence. professor jonathan turley said this, we are experiencing total

failure of leadership, politicians on both sides are fuelling rage for personal and political advantage. we have been talking about what we felt in the wake of 9/11, is it a pipedream to think we can get to some type of unity? >> not at all, shann, americans come together in the aftermath. whether 9/11, most unified time i've seen in history, over to south carolina after the shooting, this state came together and african americans and whites and hispanics all at a bridge 20,000 strong showing unity of our state. i believe we are the most exceptional people on earth and we unify after the crisis. question is can we have the type of leadership that unifys without a crisis and what we have not seen from the biden administration is that type of unifying message that people rally around. why in the world would we have a

conversation about putting the burden of the most affluent people with student loan debt on to the back of the least fortunate who never went to college? why have a conversation about zero % inflation when it is 8.5% and why would we have the president of the united states deliver a soul-crushing speech that was unnecessary, polarizing and inflammatory? we have done better. we will do better. that is why elections have consequences >> shannon: i will ask your counterpart about that, pew research research has new polling that shows for registered voters, the things they care about, important to them, the economy at the top of the list, not surprising. politico has this headline, they are getting killed among women

voters. you are pro-life and sign to a brief to the supreme court in the dobbs case which ended up overturning the roe v. wade. broader sweep over broader issues like federal judges, any second thoughts? >> none at all, i actually think that the momentum in heading in our direction. look at polling in georgia, herschel walker has been gaining ground for two or three weeks and jd vance in gaining ground. dr. oz is gaining ground and north carolina we are in a solid position. here is the truth about issues that matter to the american people, the economy, inflation and gas prices top three issues and without any question, the social issues certainly present an opportunity for us to have a conversation with the american people about what matters to them and how we should approach that issue. i can tell you how not to

approach the issue. the hearing i had when secretary janet yellen told me black women living in poverty could increase labor force participation rate by having abortions. that lacks moral clarity. it was a harsh comment unnecessary and sending wrong message abortion to be first option for those living in poverty. the issue is important, how we handle it is more important. >> shannon: you mention senate races, no doubt there has been controversy there and unforced errors by those nominated there, even senate minority leader mcconnell had this to say, candidate quality has a lot to do with outcome. what do you say to those who say republicans will have a hard time getting through the general? >> the players are on the field, eight weeks away, like the last

two minutes of the fourth quarter. who we have on the field is who we are going to play. i'm excited about the candidates and believe it gives us opportunity to win back the majority and return sanity to washington, which will reverberate around the country. >> your book, awe talk about a difficult conversation you had with then president trump after charlottesville, you write and say, i believe there are moments in life when you must speak out, i knew it was dangerous to take on president trump, i tell people if it is not absolute lie necessary, don't do it, it was a moment of necessity. in the book you talk about being summoned to the white house, talking to the president and thereings a positive outcome to the conversation, but it begs the question, do republicans now need to be having discussions with the president about what he has said and how it is impacting

things like the midterm elections? >> one thing i try to do in my book is to tell both sides of the ledger and certainly the charlottesville comments by the former president was difficult and we had a good conversation. i'm not sure we got to the same side of the issue, but we did get to the same side of the solution, which was helping people who were hurting, helping people in marginalized communities and we need to have hard conversations about not red or blue solution, but american solutions. let's have hard conversations about the fact in america, a good education is the closest thing to magic and that is why 67% of democrats, 68% of independents, 70% of -- agree quality education is necessary for the furtherance of the american dream and hardest hit communities. if we were to have the tough

issues and tough conversations about the future of america and not the future of republicans or democrats, we would actuallyerna the respect of the american people and let the voters make their own decisions. >> shannon: it is time and place to have important debate and conversations, thank you for your time. gamecocks had a hard time. any game predictions for today? >> i will pray for a successful venture for dak prescott. i am hoping this is next year. >> shannon: i know about rebuilding, i'm a seminoles fan. thank you, see you soon. >> ink take care, good win last week against lsu. >> shannon: joining us is senator john tester, great to see you today. >> good to see you, congratulations. >> shannon: i want to start about the maga conversation,

jonathan turley writing, for many that speech, not just the one on the first, a couple since then, final revtation of biden pledge to be a unifier after two years of highly port san and divisive action, the speech added to rage much politics. what do you say to the americans who feel like their own president has labeled them violent extremists or semi-facist? >> i live in montana, many friends and relatives are supporters of the former president. i can tell you they are not extremists, they just believe in policies the president had, i don't think those are people the president is talking about. he is talking about people who support the president and think violence is a way to solve problems and it is not. i think all you have to look back is look back as far as january 6, see what happened there where folks came to washington, d.c., brought here by the president that ended up

in a really, really bad situation, that is how i look at it. i don't think he is casting all republicans in that case, he specifically says it is the ones on the fringe he's talking about. >> shannon: what about when the press secretary karine jean-pierre was pressed on that, what does the president mean, who was he calling extremist? she said the majority. that leaves 49% of americans, if it is about disagreeing with majority position does that make you extremist? >> i don't know what the press secretary was talking about, plenty of republicans are concerned with the direction the republican party has gone and i think maybe that is what the press secretary was talking about, although i didn't see the interview and i don't know. >> shannon: we are deep in the midterm, congressman tim ryan in a critical race in ohio, said high was campaign as an independent and went on to list things he agreed with president trump about. you have said there are places

where the democratic brangd is toxic, what do you mean by that? >> i think people like tim ryan, who is one heck of a good candidate, is going to talk about things that mean the best for ohioans and what he can do when he gets in the united states senate to move the ball forward for ohio's economy and working families and the list goes on and on. there are i think thiss i disagree with national democrats on and i'm sure there are things tim ryan disagrees with, that is healthy for democracy, it is healthy we have the conversation. you just had tim scott on, i consider him a friend, some i think thiss i agree with, some things i disagree with, it is why it is the greatest deliberative body. tim ryan is one heck of a candidate and has a heck of a race ahead of him, may the best man win. >> shannon: one issue you have

broken with the administration is on -- talking about the president's policy. biden adcal energy policy is reality defying and based on anti-fossil fuel fiction that is causing unnecessary hardship and costs americans dearly, does that track how you see the energy policy? how do you describe it? >> i look back as to the inflation reduction act, truly all of the above energy policy and i'm saying this is heading in the right direction, this is positive. we can't shut off oil and gas and carbon-based fuels, it will take time to get it done. in the meantime, we need to start that transition because it makes sense, we are putting out hundreds of billions of dollars in disaster. just had one of the driest years ever. it is costing taxpayer dollars, does that mean to cut off

carbon-based fuels? we can't, can't afford to do it. inflation reduction act does both and i think that is the policy i'm looking for. >> shannon: that got passed with a vote from joe manchin, there was discussion of a side deal with chuck schumer, that is coming into play because we have federal government running out september 30, i don't think any of us think a deal will get done before then, does this side deal now which joe manchin had which would expedite leases and permitting, get tied into the funding bill? senator lindsey graham says i will not vote for a political payback scheme, his words. senator bernie sanders calls it disastrous side deal. you said if on our cr, they will have to eat it if they don't like it. >> referring to the house, not the political party. >> shannon: how does funding get done? >> so here is what i think, i think there are things we can do

on permitting process that will make the permitting process more streamlined and allow for more production that makes sense for the country. there are a few pieces of legislation that go between now and the election and if this is what we have to attach it on, so be it, if we can set it aside as a stand alone, let's do it and have the debate. i'm open either way. i voluntary seen the language, i can't tell you if i'm for it or not. there are improvements we can do in permitting to make it more streamlined and energy friendly and business friendly. we ought to take a look at things like that while we protect our environment. >> shannon: something potentially tied to funding measure is respect for marriage act about marriage equality. there is question about whether forcing republicans to vote against something when there is government funding tied together. the "washington post," for democrats the marriage act is

calculation for chuck schumer, if he can't find 60 votes, it is better if it is caught trying to pass the measure. he says there are no state legislators making a peep about the issue, it is settled is this a political ploy? >> this is bipartisan effort, not just democrats, democrats and republicans doing it and the policy coming out of government if there is certainty involved, we need appropriations done and not have short term funding. what this does, is provide certainty for folks who are married and protects religious liberties which are really, really important. i don't really have a problem with it at all. by the way, it is done in a bipartisan way. >> shannon: critics are worried it didn't have religious protection. i follow the supreme court, people don't feel

protected. >> if we can beef those up and i think there are bipartisan conversations going on to make that crystal clear and i'll support it. >> shannon: i found out like my mother, you majored in music, elementary school teacher, you play the trumpet, we have one here if you would play something for us. i'm kidding, we won't do that to you. >> one thing before we close it down if we're getting close, this is 9/11, 21 years ago, one of the most horrible things to happen to this democracy happened. time people came together. tim scott referred to, i'll refer to it, we need more of that and need to remember the first responders that ran into the flames, ran into the buildings, those folks are pretty amazing and we need to thank them. >> we do, very definition of hero, isn't a better one. senator, thank you, good to see you. up next, former president trump and justice department waiting.

>> shannon: president biden laying a wreath this morning at the pentagon as we remember the events of 9/11. it is time for our group, jonathan swan, juan williams, editor and chief of "the federalist," mollie hemmingway and peter doocy. great to have you with us on this busy sunday morning. start here with the midterm. nation's headline, how democrats got their groove back, maga partisanship changing the midterm dynamic, what are you

watching for jonathan? >> you have unusual circumstance where you are weighing history against this -- unprecedented set of circumstances, you have history which tells you the party out of power, opposite party of the president will gain substantially, i think 25 seats in the house going back to like the '50s or whenever they started looking at this, it goes back further than that. you have dobbs, huge supreme court decision, i find it difficult trying to gauge the abortion issue, it is not visible. you don't have convening power, it is easy to see energy on the right. you have donald trump, i was at the rally 10,000 people, packed, fired up. there are not stadiums full of suburban women. it is actually diffuse, out there and being picked up in polls and things and we just

don't know. we've got that, we've got inflation, which is still very high and unpopular president, but yet his party is doing quite well on the generic ballot. it is weird actually and beyond my analytical powers to -- >> shannon: we're counting on you. >> you have me as a guest, i'm fairless useless. >> shannon: we have polling numbers and woo have democrats -- >> peter doocy is a genius. >> shannon: he is getting the next question. congressman tim ryan campaigning as an independent and we had a couple democrats we caught up with yesterday in new hampshire, here is what they said. >> i think the president, it took too long to tackle inflation. >> the administration was asleep at the switch when it came to managing inflation and understanding the emergency that existed with inflation early on last year. >> shannon: well, mr. peter doocy, how is this playing at

the white house? >> tim ryan, part of the complaint, we need generational change and joe biden said he would be a bridge. >> shannon: there are long bridges. >> there are very long bridges. when you look at clips like that, that says a lot about the president's schedule issue not going to places strategic for 2022, he's going to ohio, pennsylvania, pennsylvania, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, places that might be beneficial to him, if he runs in 2024, which he says he intends to do. >> shannon: talk about the vice president now talking about the abortion decision at dobbs and questioning integrity of the supreme court, here is what she says. >> this court took that constitutional right away and we are suffering as a nation because of it. that causes me great concern

about the integrity of the court overall. >> shannon: the chief justice speak out friday night not specifically addressing the vice president but says people can say what they want simply because people disagree is not basis for questioning the legitimacy of the court. juan? >> you see in the polls fading trust in the court right now, shannon. i think this is a shock for lots of people because the histories that the court has always been seen as literally balancing scales of justice for the american people and it undermines basic trust in american institution, that is also going down at this moment. it is troubling and i think chief justice roberts felt a need to say without the law and without the court upholding the law, where are we going as a country? i think the vice president is on target. if you take away rights, if you take away abortion rights and transfer abortion from constitutional right to murder, then you have women who will be

put in jail for committing murder. >> shannon: there is a lot in between there, the court said there was never constitutional right to abortion and no state laws prosecute the woman. doctors, yes, so we're clear on that. >> when you come to the doctors, the court left the doctors with ethical and legal issues with viable pregnancy a woman says is no longer viable, what is the doctor to do? >> shannon: states are trying to figure that out. mollie. >> this is important issue, democrats are focusing on abortion because they don't have anything else to run on. people are frustrated with the direction of the economy, the economy and border is bad, foreign policy not going well, they don't have anything else. it is important for republicans to push back on misinformation and disinformation in the media. dobbashings decision allows americans to have a say and they didn't in roe v. wade.

majority of americans think abortion should be illegal and should be restrictions, 63% believe >> ashley: should be illegal after 15 weeks of pregnancy around the time unborn child feels pain. americans should be hitting hard and understanding moderate viewpoint is something enabled through the dobbs decision. >> shannon: when you break down by trimester it makes a difference. thank you, panel. juan is here playing hurt with his arm. one of the most iconic moments after 9/11, game three of the world series at yankee stadium, ask one player who was there for this moment and what it meant for a nation in pain.

>> shannon: live look at the pentagon where president biden is about to make remarks as we remember the horror of september 11, 2001. we remember the moments of national unity that came in its wake, including return to the national pasttime. that october, fans packed yankee stadium between the new york yankees and arizona diamondbacks. president bush took the mound and you'll remember threw out that ceremonial first pitch. [cheering] >> shannon: joining us with his remembrances of that day, andy

pettite, great to have you with us. what was that moment like? >> well, it was incredible, you know, just to be part of that, obviously the anticipation of waiting to see the president up close and personal and come to yankee stadium. he came into the dugout with us and i remember derek jeter telling him, you better throw a strike or they will boo you. the president got his arm lose, gave thumbs up and threw a perfect strike. it was just a surreal moment and just real proud moment to be part of that and to be an american. >> shannon: the yankees, you had been on the field and talked about what it meant to go back at the time we were grieving so much as a nation just to give people time to be unified over something and have break from the grief we were experience. are you worried some aspects of sports have gotten too political, are we missing that opportunity to bond in the same

way now? >> i think so. sports have always been just something that unified us. i remember as a smile child always talking sports with adults around me, being able to watch a football game and with my dad, baseball games and me now as a father being able to get together with my kids, any kind of sports that go on, big games, everyone gets together and enjoys time in workplace talking baseball, football and sports. in the sense of 9/11, just what an opportunity that was and saw, players, the way everyone rallied around us and rallied around the team. a friend of mine said it great, growing up, we all want to be part of a team, whether you were part of the yankees, mets or a fan, what 9/11 did was make you feel a part of the same team. as we move forward, we need to

remember for sure, but continue to try to unify our country and unify each other and i think baseball and the sports is a great way to do that. >> shannon: it's a gift. we so appreciated those who suited up and went back out to give us that break and that bit of hope and inspiration. you are doing that now for first responders. so much of 9/11 is remembering the heroes, tell us about your work with tunnels to towers? >> yeah, just during my career, i always loved doing the military stuff with out veterans and when we travel to baltimore, going to walter reed and stuff like that and really during covid, watched more news than i probably should have and watching a lot of fox news and wasn't a lot to do other than watch tv and kept seeing the tunnel to tower commercials and reached out to frank and wanted to help out financially and of course now able to do some ad commercials for them and they
