Pete: all right. Fourth and final hour of fox & friends weekend. It is august 31st, year of our lord, 2024. It feels like the august that wouldn't end because, you're right, in the south school starts on august 6th. School's already started, so it feels like a mulligan month.

Joey: i'm just saying, we're here pat: so pete: so watch us until 10. If you were watching the channel last night, you would have seen at least in part president trump on stage in washington, d. C. With moms for liberty, their third annual convention. By the way, they were patriot award recipients here at fox nation. But the other side of the aisle, they've been called domestic terrorists for standing up to school boards. Donald trump showing squarely where he is, and that's on the side of parents and parental rights, a big issue for everybody, but independents as well whose kids are in school and they're inundated by this. He talked about how much he'll sport support parents and those rights last night. I'm for parental rights all the way. I don't even understand the concept of not being. The parents truly love the kids, okay? some of these people on the boards, i think they don't like the kids very much, what they're doing. So we've got to give the rights back to the parents. They called us domestic parents, president trump, for speak out at the school board meetings you believe it? well, we'll change that on the first day [cheers and applause] rachel: pete just saying off camera here like, it's so true, nobody loves your kids as much as you do. Pete: it's the not even close. Hay get this wrong every oh, it's the kids, it's the community. Shut your mouth. You meet the neighbor kid and he's ticking you off, get away from me, i don't care about you. But your own kid you love and want to encourage and develop. That's the foundation, many in many ways, of how conservatives think of the family unit. They think of the collective. Rachel: i remember touring a public school once making that decision where i wanted to send my kids, and the school official said we love these kids so much, we call them our kids. I was, like, okay, not sending them here. [laughter] i'll tell you another truism that we've learned, a lot of this exposed after covid through zoom, classroom teaching we got to see what was happening, it's the gender and sex ideology that's being pushed on kids, it's the racism and crt. But if you have a teacher who wants or a system that wants to talk about sex with elementary kids, weirdoes, that's not normal. I don't know when that this became normal, but that's the kind of stuff that moms for liberty is fighting for every single day. We had a great interview with tiffany, one of the cofounders of it. These women have been vilified, they've been attacked, they've had the fbi sicced on them as a well, lawsuits launched against them. And there's two choices in this election, people like tim walz and kamala harris who are for that kind of treatment of parents who want parental rights and then there's donald trump who will show up and have a freeflowing conversation with them the without it being prerecorded and massaged by the media. Joey: groups like this exist because our government especially in states like california and places like that thought they could tell parents what their kids were going to become. Really, like what sex they'll become, what political beliefs they'll have. They indoctrinate. There's a difference. I want my son i should be putting the tools in my son that the he can go to school and hear an opposing view and be able to take the it in and dissect it and decide if it fits his convictions or not. I warrant my son to have healtho have healthy debate. But what i will not allow is for a teacher to tell my if son he has to the believe what pete: or she believes. Exactly. I'm very lucky he's at a public school that doesn't happen, but those are more and more rare. That's why these organizations exist. Rachel: the public school your kids go to, joey, it's very rare. Joey: well, come on down to georgia. The school should be a reflection of your community. Rachel: right. Pete: we had the oklahoma superintendent of schools on the program earlier. They've mandated the bible in the classroom and the ten commandments along with the pledge of allegiance. That used to be the way our public schools operated. They're a long ways from that. You can do something about it. The supreme court has stood up for freedom of religion, not from religion. Some states are taking it back. Joey: oklahoma is very base. The state of oklahoma, they're doing things right. Pete: they are. One of the things affecting oklahoma and every well, probably not as much oklahoma, but definitely oklahoma and every state in our country is illegal immigration and the ram by occasions of the crime that has come with it. And in some cases it's extremism. Like here in new york city you can see migrants and illegals all across the city in hotels. Well, in awe roar pro, colorado aurora, colorado, an entire venezuelan gang has taken over an entire apartment complex, effectively saying we're in charge now, we're collecting rent, and this staggering new video displays the way in which they enforce their control over this apartment building. The mayor of aurora, his name is mike kaufman, posted on facebook saying this: the our aurora city attorney's office is requesting an emergency court order to clear the apartment buildings where venezuelan gang activity the has been occurring by declaring the properties a criminal nuisance. In the meantime, the law enforcement task force set up to disrupt and arrest venezuelan gang members in these buildings will continue its operation. So now we're clearing buildings of illegal venezuelan gangs because they came here joey: in awe roar pro aurora, colorado. Rachel: they're commandeering these, they're actually collecting rent pete: extortion. Rachel: exactly. We got this on footage. Here is one of the residents whose ring camera took this footage. She explains what it's like to live in this building. On this particular date, it was the really bad. And, but it is not by any means an isolated occurrence, unfortunately. If i have i have months, almost a year and a half worth of footage from six separate cameras. They don't want to admit that they're part of the problem. It's the administration who we count on to make the rules for us to the make the guidelines that we go by. I call 91 is 91 is, no help comes for me. Nobody showed up to help me. I didn't have a bulletproof vest. I didn't have five officers showing up with me whenever there was a problem. We were on our own, and we were left to die. These people have no, no registration in this cup. In this country. Rachel: shortly after joe biden took office, his homeland security got intel that venezuela was releasing prisoners from their prisons, and they can't tell the american people, and they didn't change their policies on that either. They just told border patrol keep an eye out for it, but they didn't tell the the people. [laughter] that's really what happened, and congressman nells from texas neils, i'm sorry, he's the one who reported that, and he sent a letter to homeland security getting, asking for more information. They never got a response. Pete: it's almost like they wanted it to happen. Rachel: welsh, they don't love their citizens. Pete: both can be true. They wanted it to happen, they want to import future voters, so they look the other way. And then kamala harris has the gall to say i'm for enforcing the border, i'm going to the maintain criminality. Everything you're talking about is a sham. And so people in colorado, this isn't just texas, this isn't just border states, colorado affected by this kind of complete lawlessness. Speaking of south america, other developments there, we talked about it a little bit earlier in the program, but a brazilian judge, a judge many brazil, has now ordered the banning or suspension of x in brazil amid a feud with elon musk. They're fighting over representation in brazil and all that, but that's all a smoke screen for saying we can't control what people say on x in brazil, and as a result, we want it shut down. Here's the brazilian supreme court justice calling out musk, ironically, on x. [laughter] rachel: which is now off. It's not on in brazil anymore. Pete: elon musk showed total disrespect for brazilian sovereignty and in particular for the judiciary setting himself up as immune to the laws of each country. So, rachel, you'll have to so they're saying because elon musk, x is owned by someone outside of brazil and they can't control it, therefore, they're going to ban it, i guess. Rachel: that's exactly right. By the way, it was not posted on x, because x is gone pete: my bad. Rachel: elon musk did say free speech is the cornerstone of democracy, they are shutting down the number one source of in brazil. It's true. Listen, there's a lot of discord in brazil. There was a lot of questions around the election about, frankly, state department and cia influence in that election. And so people are unhappy, and they want to squash the opposition. I would just say this to everybody, because i think this is coming here, think thinks i think this is a precursor for what people want joey: if pete gets his way with of banning tiktok rachel: pete talks about the dangers of misinformation and who gets to be the judge. Think about just for a second what's happening right here in america. Imagine if at this moment for the last year we did not have x, that elon musk did not joey: yeah. Rachel: a lot of people are putting their hopes in donald trump, but truly the person who actually saves this election or at least the process pete: gave us a fair shake, yea rachel: it's elon musk. And that's what they want to shut down in brazil. Anytime you hear somebody say threats to democracy pete: that's another one. Rachel: i challenge you, it's really threats to my power. Pete: democracy's been code for that for a long time. Joey: it may be a decade yet before we understand the true impact of elon musk buying twitter. Rachel: agreed. Joey: the zuckerberg letter, that doesn't happen if pete: because none of it gets exposed. Joey: exactly. Pete: now zuckerberg's saying i won't spend zucker bucks and donald trump was really courageous when he stood up and said fight, fight, fight. I don't think zuckerberg's swallowing a giant red pill, i think he realize rachel: he's next. Pete: i want out. Rachel: ray by the way, people think everyone's right of center. We have disagreements on tiktok. He would ban it, i would not. I say let's get it all out there. Pete: she wants prochicom speech. [laughter] honest discourse right here. Prochicom, antichicom. [laughter] my favorite communist. There's no one more anticommunist than her. Rachel: no, there isn't. I don't want even pete censoring my speech. [laughter] pete: i'm going to do that a right now by turning to the other topics. By the way, this is the a sad topic as well. Hockey fans paying tribute to nhl star johnny gaudreau and his brother matthew. Joey: the two killed by a suspected drunk driver just hours before their sister's wedding. Rachel: and chanley painter joins us with more. Good morning, chanley. This story is so tragic. Reporter: it happened thursday evening, guys. Johnny and matthew were cycling together in their hometown. Johnny hockey, as fans called him, was a 7time nhl allstar and father of two. His brother matthew, a former professional player and a dad to be, expecting his first child with his wife in december. Now, police say 43yearold sean higgins who admitted to having 56 beers was behind the wheel when he attempted to the pass another vehicle before striking the brothers from behind. Hiking givens made his first court appearance friday. I'm here til thursday? yes, sir. Once the state files a motion for your pretile detention, statute and court rules require me to hold you over for a minimum 72 hours. Because we have a weekend and a monday holiday, 722 hours becomes thursday 7 the hours becomes thursday. The brothers were set to be groomsmen at their sister's wedding, an event now canceled in light of this tragedy. And this morning the brothers' former hockey coach shared how special they were on and off the ice. Right after the first shift on the ice, everybody knew exactly what a special hockey player was. We found out later what a special person he was as he treated everybody so kindly and fairly and just became a boston college hockey player that we all envisioned. Reporter: and johnny's wife posting a moving tribute thank thing him for, quote, the best years of my life. Guys. Pete: chanley, thank you. All right. Turning now to a few additional headlines including this, the dallas police department says an officer was executed and two officers were hurt in a targeted attack. The suspect struck the up a conversation with officer darren burkes on thursday night while recording with his cell phone. He then pulled out a hand gun and shot burkes. He also fired at officers when they arrived at the scene. The suspect was killed in a shootout with police after a highway chase. Hundreds mourning the fatherinlaw officer. Fallen officer during a vigil last night. God bless our best. This just in, vice president kamala harris pushing back on the rules for the september 10th debate on ark bc. This is the first i'm reading this abc. Harris posting on, quote,: donald trump is surrendering to his advisers. Let's debate in a transparent way with the microphones on the whole time. Trump has said he doesn't mind leaving the microphones on but did agree to muting them which is how it was done in the june debate with joe biden. Mean, they're just trying to muddy the waters and make it look like he doesn't want to debate. Trump definitely wants to debat rachel: why does she want the mic so bad? pete: i think it's a parlor game. They think he's going to the say something to try to make her look bad. I think that's plan. Labor day travel is off to a rocky start as hundreds of flights are delayed or canceled this morning. The tsa racing to screen more than 17 million american, and they're going to really screen tulsi gabbard, because she's a threat. This holiday weekend the busy summer season comes to an end, and those are your headlines. You heard that story, tulsi gabbard rachel: oh, yeah. I suspect you're being followed as well. You might not know that, pete pete: i'm going to turn around and go right up to that person. High hi, how's it going? rachel: look around when you travel back home to tennessee the. Pete: president i will. Rachel: she thought it was happening, and then she's like, oh, i must be crazy, and then she got the proof she needed from some whistleblowers. Joey: i don't know, that's crazy. All right. Donald trump calling out kamala harris' interview as low energy as we learn she only spoke for less than 17 minutes.

Fresh off a two consecutive weeks of vacation, he's set to campaign with kamala harris in pittsburgh on labor day. Meanwhile, harris catching heat after her recent interview as we learn once you break it down, she only spoke to cnn for less than 17 minutes. Here's what president trump had to say about it. I think it was not exactly a great performance. There was, it was a low energy performance. To the take all of that the time and get ready for that kind of an interview, it was a softball interview. Pete: 40 days for 17 minutes. Our next guest also spoke to trump at yesterday's rally, national political examiner for washington examiner, selena if zito joins us now salena zito. It is staggering when you think one of two presidential nominees takes a month to do one softball interview and then then even then looks potential doing so. You contrast that with donald trump who does multiple interviews a day, including with you recently, and is willing the take tough questions. She takes softballs. Do you think voters will start to see this contrast as we get closer to the election? yeah, i absolutely think that. And you even hear democrats sort of sighing on cable news networks about the hack of meat in that interview. Finish i think that both a candidate and a campaign actually wants a vibrant exchange between a reporter and themselves because it gives the ability in the for the candidate to earn voters that might be skeptical pete: that's the point, you're right. And that's what i talked to president trump about yesterday. You know, my story will be out in the examiner on tuesday. I'm taking a look at pennsylvania as a whole, been covering it for several decades, kind of know where you need to have a voter a vote turn out to win the state. And we talked about that. We talked about harris running as the sort of change and new candidate and, or you know, he calls her out on the fact that she's been in power for four years almost and is responsible for a lot of policies that have been put in place including the ban in pennsylvania on the export of liquid natural gas which not only impacts people in the industry, it also a impacts farmers who rely on the royalties that are on their farms. Pete: you know pennsylvania as well as anybody. What is the state of the race when it comes to voter registration? i don't believe early voting. Habit started yet, but who is, who's got the best organization on the ground between the two as far as getting people signed up to vote for their guy? well, the republicans have really stepped up their game,9 and the numbers i don't have them off the top of my head. However, they have changed dramatically since 20020. 2020. Republicans now have the lead in voter registration in cambria county which is where president trump was last night where johnstown is, but also in bucks and beaver county. These are very, very important counties. It's almost there in lieu certain lu certain county. Why are these important? everyone focuses on pittsburgh and philadelphia, and rightly so, they have the largest population. It is the smaller counties, in particular erie where i interviewed j. D. Vance on wednesday, that you need to turn out the vote. That is where this vote will be decided. It not be it will not be decided in pittsburgh or philadelphia. It will be decided in these smaller counties. That's why you see trump in lucerne and cambria and in butler. And that's why you saw j. D. Vance in westmoreland county and you saw him in montgomery county and you saw him in erie. Pete: absolutely. Ooh, i think we gist lost salena. She was almost done. You got 99 of the way there [laughter] thank you so much for breaking it down. You're going to be busy for these 66 days right in the middle of pennsylvania. Thank you. All right.

S. Entry from their home countries. The controversial program was put on pause after an internal audit found possible fraud, finding dead people among the sponsors and over 3,000 serial sponsors. Florida congressman carr has jimenez carlos gimenez joins us now. Congressman, it's great to have you. It's really hard for me to understand why the dhs has restarted this program. It was rife with fraud. Dead people sponsoring illegals, people sponsoring, you know, 1800 illegals at a time, something which is just impossible to do. And we know from the polling that the american people don't want this, so why are they doing it? it doesn't make any sense to me. They're going to keep doing the, you know, the insane immigration policies of the first three and a half years. So, look, there was so much the audit that was leaked showed so much fraud, they had to do something about it, so they stopped it. But now they started it again. Again, it's all politics. Look, it's a bait and switch. If they don't do it this way, then they're going to have more, more haitians and cubans and venezuelans and nicaraguans coming through the the southern border, and they don't want that optic of thousands and thousands of people coming through the southern border. So right now they're being flown in, and it's kind of out of sight, out of mind, and that's the reason they're doing it. They didn't really fix the problems with it, like you said. You had people sponsoring 180 to 900 people, that's a pretty big family 1800 people. That's a pretty big family, okay? rachel: yeah. [laughter] we know here in miami they were selling these sponsorships, you know, in the street and buying sponsorships in the street. So it's fraught with abuse and fraud, and i know that this new startup they're going to get around it, and you're going to still see this massive fraud. But it's just a way to not have that optic at the southern border where you have tens of thousands of people coming through. Rachel: well, it's beyond optics. Those that are flown over, those numbers won't hit the numbers that they have to report. So it's also a way of hiding how many people that they're bringing over. I know a man who was brought over through that program, the flight program, and he was given four letters sent to him asking him to register to vote. So there's always that, that we need to worry about as well. Really quick, i want to talk to you about china because turns out that taxpayers are funding patents for chinese investors including in sensitive fields such as biotechnology, semiconductors. So i want to talk to you about why that's happening and if does it put us at risk in terms of our national security. Why are we increasing or deepening our reliance on china for sensitive technology. We should not be. We should be decoupling from china. I've been can asking for us to decouple from china from day one. I understand the threat that china poses to us, the net they pose to our the threat they pose to our freedom. Not only to the united states, but around the world. We need to decouple from china rachel: so who's doing it though, congressman? we're funding the instrument of our demise. That's what's going if on. Rachel: 100%. How come we can't stop these funds from happening if, as you said, this is funding of our own demise? it's not just the government that's funding, we're funding our own demise every time we buy a chinese product. We feed to stop buy we need to stop buying chinese products, decouple from china, we need to onshore our manufacturing capability or near shore our manufacturing capability so we're not dependent on china. And, you know, there's some kind of loophole that allows this into la are. Law. We have to take care of that. No, we shouldn't be funding anything in china and, like i said, decouple from china. Rachel: this is taxpayer money that's going to in this. Yeah. Rachel: ultimately, that taxpayer money is, the congress is in control of it. And so right. Rachel: there needs to be more. Is your committee doing something specifically on this? well, i'm sure we're going to be looking into it and seeing how in the world we are funding this, these chinese patents, which we should not be. And where it's happening, where it's coming from. And then, and then, you know, put a stop to it so that the funding source dries up. Yeah. Rachel: all right.

Dan, welcome to the show. Thanks for joining us this morning. When dollar i mean, i live in a very rural area, and i'll pass four dollar generals to get to a big town. They're all over the place. When they're saying people aren't coming in shop, that's a bad day, isn't it? hi, joe. Hanks for having me back. Always a good to be with you. The ceo basically said it very clearly. He said our consumers, lower income if consumers, that's our client base for the most part, they're struggle, right? of 600% of those 60 of those customers if are cutting back on necessities whether in rural or urban areas. Doesn't really matter, they're saying the same thing, joe. Joey: is the idea that inflation, yearoveryear inflation is compounding and stressing the finances of those that have the least to begin with, is doing that the most to them. There's no question. So the good news is inflation as you and i have reported on has started to moderate. The bad news is we're now three years plus, over three years, joe, we've been talking about this of higher than target inflation month to month. And as you said, that has a compounding effect. Food costs up 25% in the last two years. Housing up 13%. Car insurance, have you seen your car insurance bill? it's crazy, up 40%. So those are the sort of kitchen table issues, kitchen table expenses that you and i and our families are grab grappling with right now. Joey: kamala harris wants to give you $25,000 to buy a house, but she doesn't address that it costs literally more than twice as much since she's been vice president. Her answer to groceries is to fix the prices and basically tell dollar general you've got to sell it cheaper. Does that work? well, you know, i've looked through history, and i'm not an economist nor a historian, but i have not found the time where government has successfully mandated prices. It just doesn't work, joey. It sounds good. Boy, i'd love for the government to lower my car insurance bill, wouldn't you? or the cost of groceries for my family. But it just doesn't work that way. Simple economics, if you control the price of something, you going to limit the supply for something and guess what? if folks aren't going to to get what they need. Their going to wind they're going to wind up paying too much for it. Joey: it's tough. I hope there's a better answer out there. Dan ricatto, thanks for joining us. All right, brother, take care. Joey: you too. All right. It's the bowling edition of may the best friend win. You don't want to miss it. There's pete. ♪ ♪ joey: oh, strike. ♪ the final countdown.
