Rachel look at that. Will a rally later today, First Time since Donald Trump survived the Assassination Attempt in july. Rachel absolutely. Well, we just had a great segment outside fall festival. We i faced my own fears will no, you didnt. Rachel well [laughter] i dont know if you saw that, pete, but the Chicken Coop arrived after a year of my husband and my kids begging for chickens. We diseased to get a coop decided to get a coop that would allow me to never have to deal with them, and so we got one from carolina coop, and they had it right out here. And i know you were asking me about that coop last week, so you missed it, but you get to come to the house and check it out and see if you can get one on the hegseth farm. Pete will, i didnt have to the see it, i didnt see it, but if there were chickens anywhere nearby her, shes thrown into complete Panic Mode immediately, i know. Will thats exactly right. Pete you know who didnt . Segway wise, remember on July 13th that crowd did not supply fly into Panic Mode even though Donald Trump was theory assassinated. And here we are in this line, will, im hearing estimates between 600100,000 people 60100,000, and if it were that am, it would not surprise me because you said11 p. M. , it was actually 11 a. M. Yesterday, and the line doesnt stop. This things snaking behind me. Say hello [cheers and applause] rachel unbelievable. Pete the doors havent even opened yet, and the feeling is absolutely electric. They felt like god was here on July 13th sparing Donald Trump by a miracle. Every third person i talk to here was here on july13th. My other assignment, will, im now tracking california, idaho, Arizona And K the as some of the places where people have traveled from for this rally in butler, pennsylvania. And, maam, you were here on July 13th as well. Whats it like to be back . How symbolic is it for you . Its very emotional, and i am full of joy that i get to be a part of this. Its history. Its absolute history. And Donald Trump is going to win. Pete you were really close to him that way. That day. I was three rows back from the front of the podium. I was right behind the brick man, and it wasser the fewing it was terrifying, but everybody remained calm. And i just think that that shows what kind of people are here to remain calm, because they just knew what a they were here for. They were here for Donald Trump. Pete hey, thank you very much for for your time. Were glad youre back, and if were honored here at fox and if friends to be back here note being a historic event where, you know, Donald Trump doesnt turn his head, hes not here. Its a whole different country, its a whole different race. Everything changes. Thankfully, his life was spared and thousand here hes back i can see the flag, guys, we cant show you the stage because the Sun Sun is coming from that direction, but it looks nearly the exact same. They meant to the replicate it including some of the people you saw behind him on the podium will be in their statement spot, and you heard from the doctor who tried to perform cpr on Corey Comperatore, his entire family will be here, a lot of luminary ifs. Theres just a lot of Love And Appreciation that here we are a month after the election, Donald Trumps still running, they couldnt stop him, and the crowd has his back this morning in butler, pennsylvania. [cheers and applause] rachel hey, pete, im curious, is the crowd it looks from what i can see is that the crowd will be even bigger than it was on that day in july, that fateful day. I mean, youre in a field. Is there any limit to how many people can show up . What are the number estimations, what are you thinking . [laughter] pete thats a good question. I dont know if theres a limit to the amount of people that could be in the field per se. I think the belief is that it can spill over as big and as wide as they want, and well have to to ask Salina Zito whos going to be can joining us what she knows. Again, ive heard up to potentially 100,000 people. This has become a destination event. There are Trump Rallies and then there are mass if i, huge Trump Rallies massive, huge Trump Rallies. [applause] this is part of the crowd that was here overnight. This is just the group overnight. As i look out its an endless sea of people, and the cars are still coming as well. This is pennsylvania, guys, this is a key state. And what are people doing here . Walking the crowd with have you registered the vote, are you registered to vote, so this is a get out the Vote Turnout Effort too not just the a rally. Will well, you did have an incredible interview with dr. Jim sweetland who worked on Corey Comperatore that day in july. Hes there, Coreys Family is there, reports Elon Musk will be there later today. And karoline leavitt, trumps 2024 national press secretary, was on Fox Friends saying this will be some of the message you hear today in butler, pennsylvania. President trump is going back to butler to honor the lives of the victims who were lost are, who were injured, to be with their families and the really just show the strength of these families who lost their loved one, the family of corey, namely, and The Other Two Gentleman Men gentlemen on that day who were injured. I saw the lines behind pete, the fact that pennsylvanians are showing up at a place where President Trump came within millimeters of losing his life shows the resiliency, the strength, the determination of the american people. And he will be there tonight with a message of unity, a message of strength talking about how were going to save this great country. And, again, it was just two months ago where he took a bullet for democracy. Rachel yeah, no question about it. I mean, im just looking at the size of that crowd. Pete, they came Last Night, Poem Lining up yesterday, and Donald Trumps not expected to speak until around 5 p. M. Tonight. Its only 9 00 in the east coast. Im just, im really kind of bowled over by the size of this crowd already. Pete oh, its amazing. And it was cold Last Night too. We walked up, there were people wrapped in Sleeping Bags and folding chairs along The Street just to be to be at the front of the line to get an opportunity to to get in and be at the front of the stage to view history. Think about it, yes, our media has tried to wormhole this Event And Pretend like it didnt happen, but less than three months ago the leading candidate for the republicans and a former president was nearly assassinated, saved only by the turn of a head and a miracle. And this, if youre a Support Per of his or an american, you recognize how significant that event was because the secret Service Director who was forced to resign, you know, another threat on his life. So these people take that very seriously. They dont take it for granted. Sir, youve been here for a while, latinos for trump. Why do you support trump . Because hes going to be the greatest president to be. Listen, because of the future of our children, because of the future of latinos and and what hes going to do to make the change for our borders, for our children, for school, everything. Trump is the man. If you aint going to trump, im sorry to the tell you, youre going the wrong way. [laughter] [cheers and applause] Pete Anybody hey, whos here on July 13th . July 13th . Maam . All of you . Again, i didnt stage this. You walk the line, theres people everywhere who were here on July 13th. Maam, how does it feel to be back . Im excited. Im so excited. This is such a. Monumental moment. I Cant Wait to see President Trump. I was right behind the stage when it happened. It was scary, but we were troopers, we all stuck together, all the Trump Supports stuck together and, you know, and here we are. Theres at lot of return people here, and im happy to be here. Im excited. This is great. Im so excited to be with my people [laughter] so, yeah, were good. Pete lots of people here. [cheers and applause] hi, guys. Ive been to the lot of Trump Rallies. Theres Trump Rallies and and then theres this one. Well continue to monitor the crowd, but its big. Will is that out of curiosity, pete, was that the Agr Building to your right in i know theres a lot of buildings around the fairgrounds there. Is that the Agr Building . Pete no. The Agr Building is on the other side. But, again, were not tar from the stage at all far from the stage at all. You start to realize all the buildings adjacent to the stage should have security and should be covered. Will right. Pete clearly, they will today. The Agr Buildings on the other side. And it was, its burned in your brain, seeing the approximate if similarity is incredible. Rachel i get the feeling from The Way youre describing how easily viewable the dangers would have been that you, me and will could have probably set up a better perimeter and protection for the for the president than the Secret Service did that day. I tell you, i just love that youre there, pete. I love that were getting the feel from the ground. As you said, you Cant Stage that. And what im saying seeing Belies Everything what the media says about trump supporters. I see love, i see a multicultural alliance of americans standing for all the right issues. I mean, its just incredible. Will would you also, pete, thank your cameraman for us for Zooming Out so that that we can see the crowd past your Mullet Duck Tail pompadour . Its been difficult do at times, but ive managed to see past your hair on a few occasions. Rachel yeah, we have. Pete its nothing but lo. Nothing but love. This is in the field, we let it frommic [laughter] frolic. Rachel love for the mullet, i guess. Pete let it flow. How we doing . Whats it like why you here today . To support President Trump and make america great again, its real simple. We love this country. We love the the people here, look around these are our people, baby. Pete whats your name, sweetheart . Carmen. Pete is in your first rally in. Yeah. Rachel oh, shes so cute. Pete well done, dad. Thank you, maam. Some cuties this in here, love it. Will well check in in a minute. Rachel thanks for ending with so much cuteness with that little girl. Finish. Will thank you, pete. Today Vice President harris will survey Hurricane Damage in North Carolina after former President Trump toured damage yesterday. Rachel the tomorrow claiming at least 232 lives across 7 states. Fox weathers Brandy Campbell is live in asheville, North Carolina. Brandy, good morning. Reporter good morning, guys. So were bringing you just yet another image, live image, of the destruction we are seeing here. So directly behind me you can see some of the work thats being done the start that recovery process. You have propane cars, train cars, that are tippedded over on their side and other Propane Tanks that are in the area tossed around, and theyre trying to empty them, currently burning off the fuel. That could take a couple of days. But surrounding this is just a lot of destruction from the if water. So right now were standing just above the swan noaa river, one of the main reasons we are seeing such devastation here. This River Rose up to 26. 1 feet last friday, so now you can see debris in the trees, there are cars in the river, there could be hazards in terms of the water quality, Thats Something theyre working with the epa to to test. But as we continue to the pan right, you can see how this community has been devastated. Theres some work already happening, but as you Take A Look Around a, you can see there is a lot are to do. Some of these buildings are completely crumbled to the ground ground. You are just seeing cinderblocks at this time. Unfortunately, it has been a deadly storm. Right now at least 232 people have been killed across the southeast, the most fatalities happening in this country, buckham county, with at least 72 people dead, and that number could go up. The good news is there are the good news stories, the stories of survival. We met one man, he was rescued from his roof with his family by two men on kayaks. This was his message to his rescuers. You know, theres not enough thanks and graciousness in the world that i could hope to bestow upon them. We owe our lives to to, my familys lives and a lot of other familys lives to those two gentlemen or that were able to get a kayak down to us. I mean, that was a Saving Grace for us. Reporter all right are. So they stepped out of their homes to do some Life Saving Missions before first responders could get to those folks. Thankfully, they were be there. But for now were hearing from officials who say they just have to rebuild infrastructure to get Water And Power back on for over 100,000 people in buckham county. But, again, i want to leaf you here with leave you here with this image behind me. We met one owner of a business whos picking up what they can. Its a very emotional moment for them, something thats hard for them to the even talk about at this time. And this, you know, the question is what will they do moving forward. Theyre building completely their building completely gone here in asheville. Guys . Will its going to be a long road forward, brandy. Thank you so much. And were still in, honestly, Search And Rescue phase. Thats still where we are. Rachel yeah. Will a lot of people pointing out, i mean, the main thing youre hearing is number of people who say i havent seen fema, i havent seen the federal government. But a lot of really good people who weve gotten to know, who i think many of you watching have gotten to know, a lot of veterans, a lot of special force, a lot of charity, a lot of churches step into the breach as they all always do. We spoke with Congressman Corey mills, theyre Frying Helicopters the flying helicopters in and getting to people. This is this is completely privately funded, these are private citizens that are helping out, and its a shock, its a shock to me, will, because i spent my whole life rescuing american citizens overseas in combat. And if we had minute if behind enemy Lines Somebody we would spare nothing, no expense, to go and get them, and it is a travesty there are not more folks helping out. Why are there not truckloads of the Army Corps of engineers in there building roads and bridges . I mean, we are doing this, again, privately funded. Americans Help Americans, which is incredibly inspiring, but its also incredibly disappointing because were letting our american Brothers And Sisters down. Rachel yeah. And also incredibly frustrating because we pay for our government to do this. I actually think when i look at this, i think about how lucky we are that there are private citizens that have helicopters and trucks and equipment to do this. Im also wondering, will, pete, you know, maybe this is a timeing you know, especially if Donald Trump ends up getting elected and were rethinking the Way Government works, is it time for fema to be privatized in would things operate better if a private sector was in charge, if the private sector was in charge of this kind of rescue . Were seeing government being really flatfooted and slow to respond in so many ways, and, you know, lives are on the line. Will yeah. Its bloated pete thats what government does, fratfooted and flatfooted and slow to respond and appropriated and focused on bloated and focused on the wrong priorities. The fact that foreign countries are getting billions and foreigners in our own country are getting thousands and yet citizens in North Carolina are getting 750 and fema not showing up . Thats whats resonating with people in 20216 with Donald Trump, the forgotten Men And Women who feel like their governments Spending Money on stuff they dont care about, that doesnt affect their lives, and theyre being told, figure it out. In the near term, like you pointed out, they are figuring it out with private support, churches, samaritans purse, things like that, but this response is damning for the harrisbiden administration. If theyre not focused on it, we need to stay focused on it because of the amount of people lost that are still missing. This is basic stuff. If you cant do that, you dont deserve to run the can country. Rachel 100 . I love that Donald Trump said im thinking about lives. Politically speaking, why Kamala Harris has not taken a lead. Maybe she just doesnt know how. And that may be the point that youre bringing up here right now, pete. All right. Were going to turn now to your headlines. Governor Gavin Gavin Newsom from California Awarding 131 Million to 18 cities in the state to help clear Homeless Encampments. That includes Los Angeles which will get over 11 million. This comes after newsom signed an Executive Order allowing states and local authorities to dismantle Homeless Encampments back in july. Some parts of the country could get a rare chance to see the Northern Lights this weekend thanks to a Solar Flare. Only stargazers from washington state, montana, wyoming and The Dakotas and parts of the Northeast Hay be lucky enough to spot them. Earlier this week the sun emitted the strongest Solar Flare in seven years. And those are your headlines. Will by The Way, pete in butler, pennsylvania, today. Coming up though, pete, patriot awards. Those tickets about to go on sale. Pete yes. You guys are going to be there, december 5th. In new york. Fox nation patriots awards. Its the sixth annual we love Pete Pete its the sixth annual patriot awards, and you can get your tickets right now. Go to foxnation. Com patriotawards. Get your tickets. Im telling you, if you signed up early, youve already got an opportunity to buy a seat, a lot of them are going quick. Check it out right now, fox nation. Cant wait to do it. Will all right, thank you. The Bidenharris Administration under pressure while americans suffer in the aftermath of helene, and fema spends billions on migrants. We ask former acting Dhs Secretary Chad wolf about that a next. [dog bark] [dog whining] is your dog telling you they may have allergic itch . Apoquel is the 1 treatment for allergic itch. That veterinarians have trusted for over 15 Million dogs. And it starts working in just 4 hours do not use in dogs with serious infections. May cause worsening of existing parasitic skin infestations. Or preexisting cancers. And serious infections. New neoplasias have been observed. Do not use in dogs less than 12 months old. Ask your vet for apoquel. Now available in a tasty chewable. Rachel President Biden warning that hell have to ask congress for more money to respond to helene thanks to, quote, unforeseen costs. I think i know what those are, as Homeland Security says it does not have the funds to to see americans through the hurricane season. Meanwhile, republicans are ripping fema for spending 1. 4 billion to the address the needs of illegals instead of preparing for storm leaf. Former acting relief. Former acting Dhs Secretary Chad wolf here to react. Chad, its great to have you on. I mean, this frustration is being felt by every american. What can you tell us about how money was raided from fema . Yeah. Well, let me start off by just saying my heart goes out to the folks in North Carolina, georgia and elsewhere impacted. Look, i think what you see from this administration and dhs specifically is that theyve taken their eye off the a ball,s and the ball being their primary mission of disaster relief. They have instituted a new Grant Program over the last couple of years that gives away billions of or dollars to migrants, to facilitate this crisis along the border. And so as you divert Fema Resources from that, you divert them from their primary mission which is disaster relief. But for the secretary to be on his way to North Carolina to try to provide some reassurance to those impacted, to say that fema is out of money is just, its I Cant believe that that comment, that he would make that a comment because, one, thats not what you say to disaster survivors, two, its not true. Femas got over 211 Billion available 21 Billion available to them to help folks out. So it feels like another shift of responsibility. Their trying to shift it back theyre trying to shift it back to congress when its their responsibility, this slow recovery, theyve been behind the ball from day one, and i think its an attack to shift responsibility. If. Rachel so, chad, are you telling Me Fema at this moment has 221 Billion but theyre saying we dont have enough money . Thats exactly right. Rachel wow. In the c. C. , the continuing resolution c. R congress gave Fema Access to 221 billioa relief fund, so i have no idea what the secretary means when hes out of money. Now, he could be out of money come january or february, but that is not where we sit today the here in october where fema has all the funding they need to address the crisis if in North Carolina, georgia, tennessee and elsewhere. Rachel you know, its just such a slap in the face. I just saw secretary blinken over the last day or two said, you know, he bragged about giving 157 Million to lebanon. I just saw some videos of Susan Powers Talking shes touring all the Infrastructure Projects shes, you know, were paying for im sorry, samantha powers, shes touring all the Infrastructure Projects in ukraine. Were paying the Pension Funds of people in ukraine, and we cant help our own citizens. You talked about the primary mission of fema. How about the primary mission of the government, to serve our people. Yeah, thats exactly right. America first, right in lets Help Americans first and foremost. And so when the Vice President talks about 750 to help those folks in North Carolina and elsewhere, its just, its completely Tone Deaf. Its Tone Deaf in the sense of you talked about it the millions of dollars youre giving overseas to other countries when, in fact, our country is now in distress and theres americans that are feeling this here at home. And to say that youre with out of money or youre only providing 750 is terrible. Rachel chad, should fema be privatized . Would that make things better . I dont know that that is the answer. I think this goes back to leadership. This comes back to making sure that youve got the leaders in the right place. Fema was, obviously, operated very differently under President Trump, and i was a part of that for a period of time, making sure that you predeploy assets and resources down there. And this is a variety of different things that could be done differently, so i think this comes down to end leadership, in my book. Rachel yeah. Well, Cold Comfort for those in North Carolina at this moment. So thank you so much, chad. Really great having you on and getting your perspective. Thank you. Rachel all right. Of you may know him from wizards of waverly place. Watch. I cant ask her, shes got no idea who i am. Shes never even talked to maine im totally invisible to her. Sorry, man, i didnt see you there. Why would ya . [laughter] Rachel David Henry joins us next to the talk about his new movie. Autumn is here.

Will of course they do. Why dont we get more of this . Values, happy, fun, the whole family. Why dont we have more of this . Thats why i had to make this movie. We had to do it independently.

I was a lifeguard on a river. Theres no turning back and i learned how to read the currents. Not just the ones on the surface, but also the ones deep underneath the water. Will what was it like to play Ray Ganger David . David . It was incredibly. Theres not a lot of footage on reagan from 16 til 30, so it was a blast to try to morph into Dennis Quaid which is funny because my Wifes Childhood Crush is Dennis Quaid. It was a blast, man, it was awesome. Will i havent seen Ray Ganger i plan to. I havent yet seen monster summer, i plan to. They both look incredible. Thank you so much for telling us about monster summer. I appreciate you all, god bless. Check out monitor summer, thank you.

Georgia also took a really big hit from this, and we still have about 50,000 households 150,000 households without power. Southern appalachians, Take A Look at the forecast for the next 10 days, temps in the 70s and 80s, No Rain in the forecast, which is great news. Here is the bad part, rain is fine there, but across parts of the gulf we have a new developing system here, and all indications are were going to be talking about a tropical storm, very likely a hurricane by the time we get towards the middle part of this week. National Hurricane Center giving this a 90 chance of developing somewhere right here across the central gulf. Plenty of warm Water Right there, and our models are sewiny something significant. Notice that rainfall up across parts of the panhandle, Southern Parts of florida not as much rain. This one, a big storm, we think, for central florida. If youre in tampa, sarasota, name ifings, you could be looking at a hurricane sometime by the middle part of this week, so be alert. We have something big to be talking about here, well keep you abreast of all of this. Over to you. Rachel thank you, rick. Later today former President Trump will be in butler, pennsylvania, in a triumphant return less than three months after thattempt on his life. Will our next guest was at that fateful July 13th rally where she planned to interview trump before the chaos broke out. Rachel pittsburghbased Columnist And Washington examiner national political reporter Salena Zito joins pete in butler right now. Pete . Pete thats right. Thanks, guys. Salena, great to see you. You just told me, i didnt know this, your family has been from Butler County since the med 170s. Mid. The one side of my family settled here in the 1750s. Pete does the Turnout Surprise you at all in. Not at all. I think were going to see people that were there that day pete you were there. I was here. I also think theres going to be an aspect of a pilgrimage. People feel really drawn to this because it was incredibly significant that happened, and it almost changed the course of the entire election. Pete for sure. And thats what a weve heard. New york, california, idaho, across the country coming here. How has the race changed, maybe specifically in pennsylvania since you know the Pittsburgh Area and pennsylvania so well, how has that day changed the trajectory of the race . So i think immediately there was a shift, then there was sort of a pause because there were so many things going on with President Biden stepping back, Vice President Kamala Harris stepping forward. But i think that trump, based on the interviews ive been doing in theth counties outside of the big cities, it has just been a growing support for him. And its often not seen because theyre not in the large cities, you know . If pittsburgh, philadelphia, thats where you always sort of see all the reporting. But these are the counties that make the difference. The amount of people that show up in Butler And Beaver and Luzern And Erie and northampton counties, those are the counties you watch to see on Election Night to see a what the turnout is. Theyre the ones that will change this election cycle. People tend to forget that Barack Obama in 2008 won this state by almost 11 percentage points. That dropped town to under 5 percentage points down so there was already a rightward shift happening. As the sort of old new deal democrat, middle Class Democrat was sort of lobbed off of the democratic party and went towards the republican party a because the republican party in particular through trump started talking about things that were important to them, community, dig any of work, things being made in america, and thats where you have seen that shift. Pete do you feel like you witnessed a miracle before your eyes . Oh, absolutely. It was, it, you know, i have followed President Trump, covered him for years. He never, ever looks first of all, he never has a chart, and he does Ross Perot and brings a chart out, right in but he also never turns away from the crowd. Its a very transaction aal relationship. They feed off of him, he feeds off of them. For whatever decision, reason he made, and i talked to him the next day afterwards, he turned to his head away from the crowd. Had he not done that, that bullet would have went through his head so, yeah, it was definitely manager there was a higher power in that moment. And he and i talked about that the next day. He felt as though that he had this was a moment for him that god was in that presence, and he felt very blessed. If. Pete absolutely. Were blessed to have you with us on the show today. Maam, you were also there on july13th. Why are you here today . Because i have to finish what we started.
