[cheers and applause] rachel: legally? is it our day. lawrence: i don't know we had a day. pete: i don't know we had a day either. johnny carson's birthday was designated national tv talk show host day. rachel: i'm going to extend my party all the way through tonight. pete: we said we are having a party all weekend long why not. rachel: dancing at our house bring that in here. pete: you had all the kiddos. rachel: sean flew all in the kids sean was there and my sister came in with her family. pete: very cool. we might have a surprise or two. stay with us. four hours starting right now. we are very glad you are here. in the news, you may have seen it, you have been down to the border a lot, lawrence, our own griff jenkins is going to be live for us this morning as well. there is another migrant caravan on the way. we are tracking that migrant caravan what we have now learned on the numbers front this last fiscal year 2021 was not just a record high over a couple of years or five years or 10 years, we now know under the biden administration, that the number of encounters, and these are the encounters we know about at the border is the highest in american history, at least recorded american history. that number and some who talk about it say it's even on the low side. lawrence: it is. pete: 1.7 million people illegals have crossed the border and been apprehended in the fiscal year 2021. rachel: yeah. tom homan was on tucker carlson last night. jesse watters was filling in and he said don't believe those numbers. those numbers are lagging because there are still people coming across all the time. but also that, you know, there is a lot of under reporting as you talked about. if we go by just a normal -- i mean, we are looking around 2 million people, that's roughly the population of new mexico that we brought in just since joe biden has been in office. lawrence: they low balled it and also it doesn't include the got-aways. and i think that is the real story right there. there is a lot of people coming across the southern border that we don't know about. it is a crisis of joe biden's own making. i'm not telling you what i heard. i'm telling you what the migrants tell me. they say the president of the united states said that they could come here. rachel: right. lawrence: many of them will even tell you they were deported under the trump administration. they will lie and say it was because of their driver's license. you will find out most of them had criminal background, either they were domestic abusers or they were part of a drug trade. and they tell you that the president of the united states, the reason why they are taking that journey four years later is because joe biden said they can come. and so it's hard to really deny that the president isn't open borders when the folks that are coming across the border says the president says they can come here. rachel: when they interview them they will sometimes say would you have attempted this journey under donald trump? they say heck no i would not have tried to do this under donald trump. the biden administration, pete, is finding new ways to bring people over. they have a new climate. pete: a new status. rachel: this new status that you could claim climate, you know, your refugee status. they are not just not stopping, they are finding new ways to allow people to come in. pete: find a legitimate reason for you to hop the border effectively as opposed to follow the legal process. you mentioned the numbers. we have a further breakdown of the southwest encounters for the month of september. 192,000 in total, which is a nominal decrease from the previous month. and you have got -- lawrence, you talked about it. about a quarter of the people have been to the border once before and arrested once 59% single adults and the number of unaccompanied minors is down 25%. rachel: peter doocy has been asking jen psaki, the white house press secretary about why joe biden still, after these record numbers have seen coming out, at the border. here is how that exchange went. >> why did president biden say he has been to the border? >> well, peter, as you may have seen, there has been reporting that he did drive through the border when he was on the campaign trail in 2008. >> does that count as a visit? he said i have been there before. you are saying he drove by for few minutes? does that count? >> what do you -- what is the root cause? where are people coming from who are coming to the border. >> the president said he has been to the border. >> i'm asking the question people should understand the context. >> i'm asking you if -- >> -- i will answer it for you. people come from central america and mexico to go to the border. the president has been to those countries 10 times to talk about border issues. there is a focus right now on a photo op. the president does not believe a photo op. is the same as solutions. >> that's not what he said either. he said i guess i should go down. so does he think he needs a photo op.? is that what he is saying? >> he doesn't. lawrence: this is embarrassing. can we first talk about how the president of the united states said in a town hall that probably he should go? the american people has been asking him to go. he is tanking in the polls. it's probably the number two issue when it comes to the country right now. the only reason why it's number two is because we are getting hit on the economy. can we also talk about the press secretary, they told us when they got into this white house that there was going to be a new standard for the press. going to go back to the normalcy. now she asked the questions enough to to peter doocy? i think it's just embarrassing what the biden administration. you cannot spin this when you look at what's happening at the border right now. the people of texas are saying, why isn't the president there? and by the way, these aren't republicans. these are democrats that are on these border states. and that's why you see a lot of them are turning to the republican side now because they don't have a choice anymore. the democrats that are elected there cannot depend on the biden administration to keep their seats right now. so they have to go with the people. rachel: there are so many things happening at the border that he could see. he could see the communities that are overwhelmed. the people who have to send their own children hours away to the hospital their riverside hospitals overwhelmed with the migrants. talk to border patrol and how overwhelmed and really vilified they feel and unsupported. or they could take a ride as you have done a bunch of times and see all the drugs coming across. he could look at the rusted border wall that's laying on the ground and the jobs -- infrastructure jobs by the way that could have been created if you just put the walls up. or ask the border patrol would it help if we had a wall which they would overwhelmly say yes. lawrence: he won't to talk to border patrol. rachel: exactly. pete: that's the point. >> you could go down to the border wall for a photo op. lots of politicians do that if you want to understand what's going on talk to the people doing the job. see it yourself. you know what a difference it makes to be there for a couple of days. it starts to soak in what the real story in. and it's offensive to tax paying, law abiding citizens you have been 10 times to central america to figure out root causes but you haven't gone one time to the communities that affect your citizens? based on the policies that you are enacting, and it's because, we know, this it's because they go like this because they don't care. it's an open border that they are fine with that they want. that their activists want. rachel: deliberate. pete: it's a deliberate approach and climate refugees more of a deliberate approach. sovereignty doesn't matter. some democrats in texas may be looking for another option. lawrence: have no choice. pete: because they have no choice. but the national party is -- lawrence: terrible spin. 30,000 folks that are in panama waiting right now to come into the state of texas. the question is what is the biden administration going to do? they were warned last july about the first caravan that was coming. they had an opportunity to act i don't think they will. pete as you may have seen there has been reporting that he drove by there in 2008. that's your answer. rachel: what does that even mean? lawrence: anyway, hard turn now to this. now to new details on the movie set tragedy in new mexico. rachel: interesting and tragic story. investigators are told alec baldwin was told the prop gun be was a cold gun meaning safe to use that left a cinematographer dead and are a tore injured. pete: speaks out for the first time since the incident. alexandria. >> this is completely life-changing for the actor. he tweeted this. there are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of halane that hutchins. wife mother and colleague of outside. i'm in touch with her husband offering my support to him and his family. my heart is broken for her husband, their son and all who knew and loved haynna. same round struck a director who was standing behind her. listen to the 911 call. >> we need an ambulance out at bonanza zeke crank right now. we have two people shot on a movie set accidentally. >> you say someone was shot. >> director and camera woman has been shot. >> yelled at me at lunch asking about revision. >> he is supposed to check the gun. is he responsible. >> santa fe's district attorney released this quote at this time we do not know if charges will be filed. we will look into all the facts and evidence of the case with great discretion and have further informed at a later time. our thoughts are with all affected by this tragedy. and just hours prior this accident, several crew members reportedly walked off set protesting working conditions on that movie and citing safety issues. guys, send it back to you. rachel: thank you alexandria, appreciate that. so interesting to note that beautiful cinematographer that you saw the picture of. she is a mother, a wife, a 9-year-old son. so tragic. the on the film was very young 24 years old. this was only the second film that she had the armorer, that means the person responsible for all the guns that were going to be used during the movie set. she is also the daughter of a very famous armor error with a lot of experience. you have got wonder what's going on on these sets. i saw tom cruise berating over covid problems. this seems like basic stuff. lawrence: they were walking off because of safety conditions. rachel: right. lawrence: seems to me it may merit after this incident i want to know who knew what when and why this happened especially when it comes to. i don't know how anybody else was raised my dad even told me don't play with toy guns in a certain manner because it could cause someone to lose their life. so -- pete: it's true. anyone who has been around guns understands how important gun safety is. i'm sure the armorer who made this tragic mistake obviously nobody wanted this to happen there were reports there were three accidental discharges in the days leading up to that in the military we used to call them accidental discharges now we call them negligent disharntion. nothing accidental about it something was missed in the process, either trigger discipline or the type of ammunition or loaded, not loaded. there will be culpability here. you think about the lives lost. rachel: even alec baldwin how crushed he is. it doesn't appear he has any liability as an actor. clearly somebody else's faults. he is a producer on the film. it will be interesting. we will talk about this later on what kind of, you know, liability everyone on this film who had something to do with this may have. lawrence: definitely praying for both of them. rachel: absolutely he must be torn up and alec baldwin's family. terrible. pete: as we learn more we will bring it to you. now we turn to a few additional headlines this morning. the autopsy on brian laundrie's remains is inconclusive. the laundrie family attorney telling tmz the manner or cause of death could be identified. the next step will to be send it his bones to anthropologist to be determined. brian laundrie's death is the worst possible outcome. one telling people quote we will never know exactly what he did and we will never know why. we will have questions for the rest of our lives. petino was found strangled to death in wyoming park weeks after brian returned home from a road trip they had been on together. and a texas business owner says police told him to put on some gloves and gather his own evidence at a crime scene after his store was robbed. kurt andrews says austin police told him they were unable to help him because of, you know, covid. the city is currently plagued by police shortage in part due to the city's move to defund the police department. this as crime is surging in austin. the murder rate rising over 90%. they told him to pick up his own cartridges, spent rounds on the ground as evidence. rachel: do you remember in seattle they told somebody to get a dog because their store was being robbed. pete: houston astros are headed to the world series. the astros shutting out the red sox 5-0 to win the alcs jordan alvarez earning series mvp honors. the astros securing

i was just there and the crowd was so big and the location they were having it that he moved part of the rally outside. so does it go in his favor or do they stick with politics as usual? >> well, i think if the parents that are really frustrated and the parents that are really looking for new leadership, not more of the same, and if they get out and show up, i think youngkin has a good chance of winning. but, if they stay complacent and think that other people are going to carry the vote, then i think you're going to see it go the other way. lawrence: laura, you are so right. it seems like the democrats are concerned sending everyone there to do the bidding for the former governor. thanks so much, laura. >> thank you, lawrence. lawrence: you bet. so, is history repeating itself with more blunders from president biden?

>> long beach, thank you. pete: beverly, it's no surprise that from the campaign in the basement to now with limited interviews, why would you want to provide him a public forum? >> yeah, because this goes beyond what we have seen with embellished antidotes or misspeaking in front of an audience which we have seen in the past few years this actually goes to saying incorrect things. in when it comes to car prices that car prices haven't gone up when everybody knows both used cars and new cars have gone up and it's because of inflation and also as we have all seen with the supply chain. it does make you question why they put him out there because they always have to do a clean-up job his team does after he speaks. we haven't seen kamala harris go out there because she hasn't been a good communicator. the president hasn't been a good communicator. when it comes to words especially with our leadership, what we do need are leaders telling us things that are true, first of all. and, also clear direction and we are not getting that from this administration. pete: certainly not. beverly hallberg, thank you so much for breaking it down for us we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> you got it rachel, i think you have some headlines. rachel: i do. we begin the headlines with this. another inand out restaurant in the san francisco bay area defies covid vaccine rules. the pleasant hill restaurant has been fined at least $750 for not checking the vaccination status of indoor diners. this after in and out was forced to temporarily close a san francisco location after refusing to czechoslovakia seen status saying it refuses to be the government's vaccine police. and, take a look at this: police walking a 9-foot alligator on beach. sunset beach say the gator was just walking through the neighborhood. he broke through porch lattice and even attempted to enter a pool. officers managed to get a rope around its neck and relocated it to a nearby pond. can you imagine just walking? lawrence: i think we can get two gator boots out of that gator right there that's what i'm doing. [sigh] pete: just means he will be back. rachel: this is like the catch and release policy of the administration. pete: we should relocate him -- i agree with you on that. rachel: check in now with chief meteorologist with rick reichmuth for our weather forecast. rick: you are having a big birthday. rachel: i did have a big birthday. rick: it was yesterday. pete: you heard it was going to be a party all weekend. lawrence: you came for the party. rick: first 45 minutes, nothing hang yet. we better bring this up here. [laughter] rachel: thanks, rick. rick: take a look at the maps. southeast today, tomorrow had a great weekend you are going to enjoy it overall not that bad. a few showers across parts of the ohio valley. take a look move in here central plains one of the two spots we will be watching the next couple of days. big showers and thunderstorms later on this evening. get ready for another chance of really big severe weather. mostly really large hail that becomes worse tomorrow. then modify forward out across areas of the west. huge storms are moving. in we have a storm moving in tonight into tomorrow across parts of the west. especially northern california. it's going to bring incredible amounts of rain and snow and a lot of wind. we might be seeing winds pushing 100 miles per hour across coastal areas and higher elevations into parts of california. when you move forward though we have got drought going on across the west forever. we talked about it so much this summer and everywhere we have the drought we have a lot of rain and mountain snow come in. we will see snow by the end of this week across areas of the sierra nevadas 4 to 5 feet really good news. all right. guys, back to you. pete: rick, you make that look easy. i know it's not. like i told you, i want to try to do the weather at some point. rick: i have been inviting you forever. pete: i accept your invitation. rachel: he wants to be your intern. rick: i will sit on that couch. [laughter] is that what it is? i will take on the hard hitting political stories and you will take on the big storms. pete: dial it up. rick: not happening.

lawrence: mastered the perfect. >> i'm going to tell you when i have a len teen know had the heart surgery i had to make appointments. not fun to go to chicago. my reward on every single trip was drive-thru portillo's on the way home. pete: this is a food truck out here but it's a physical location. rachel: the line is so long every day any time of the day to get through you are going to be happy. pete: i can't wait. cancel our breakfast order. rachel: we're having hot dogs for breakfast. sounds pretty good. lawrence: sounds good to me. reich reich we are going to begin with the news today. border crisis. it is massive. we also have a massive new migrant caravan which is getting ready to head north here to the u.s. lawrence: this as the migrant encounters explodes to all-time high. pete: yeah. we are going to have griff jenkins here in a moment to break down some of those numbers. what you said is not hyperbole, lawrence. two year high, five year high, all time high surpassing a surge that happened in 2,000. if you look at the numbers here we are at 1.7 million fiscal year 2021. rachel: i don't believe those numbers. tom homan says so, too. pete: they are probably higher. 400,000 last year under president trump. that gives you the contrast. rachel: looking at probably 2 million people so far coming here illegally which is about the size of the population of new mexico. so we have a brand new state. lawrence: i know i stated this in the first hour but this number doesn't include the got-aways. for those who don't know got-aways are folks crossing the border that we may have detected but we didn't get to them fast enough. rachel: they don't want to be detected because they know they are going to be -- lawrence: these are most of the folks that don't come with the children. people keep asking why do they come with a children? compassionate standpoint the kids are enduring this parents -- some of them not their kids because of title 42. they know if they come with the kids surrender to border patrol they know they will get a notice of to appear and 90% of them don't show up for that notice. they come with the kids. the got aways are the folks coming across the border run away from border patrol and texas dps. i realized when i was on the ground the reason why they get away where is the border patrol's airplane and helicopter? they use the texasplane and helicopter to detect these folks coming across the border. they are not allowed to do the chases anymore. they have to depend on the texas dps to do those chases and turn them over to the border patrol. this is another indication that the biden administration is, in fact, open borders another indication is the caravans coming along and gathering in different areas. the latest one we are hearing about is in the southern state of mexico which griff jenkins is going to join us live to break down what's happening at the border. griff: good morning, rachel, lawrence and pete. i was just listening to your conversation. you are right, lawrence, you are talking about the title 42 sending people home. if you look at this number, the most ever on record 1747686. the last time we had a record like that it was 1.69 million in 1986. second closest in 2,000, 1.67. the title 42 expulsions you forget we also have to look at the title 8 which are the people that are released. if did you go deeper into the numbers, here i will show you right now, you can see 192,000 encounters in just august. and 9% decrease from the over 200,000 in august. 26% had at least one prior encounter in the past 12 months so we know there is recidivism and 59% were single adults 9% increase from august. encounters of unaccompanied children decreased 24% from august what you are looking at video shot in tapachula southern most part of mexico where a caravan is gathering at this moment. they will soon leave and head to the u.s. this is exactly the same path that the caravan took in 2019 when i went and covered it, it started just the same way and it is so organized this time that migrants have been given a qr code to participate. it is being run by the same guy who organized the 2019 caravan. he runs the organization. he was in tapachula when i was there three weeks ago getting this started. he is blasting the biden administration. because he says they are sending the migrants a mixed message. here is some of what he told me a few weeks ago. listen. >> thousands of migrants or to haiti to either die of hunger or to die of violence. this is inhumane. biden administration is telling people, yes, we welcome migrants. we going to do this. we going to do it. but they not. griff: now, what we were talking about just a moment ago, i was saying title 8 people don't talk about that much, that is how people are being caught and released with literally just a piece of paper that says contact your ice office if you feel so inclined at some point in the near future. when i went deep into these numbers, there are 600,000 of that 1.7 million that have been released in the country. and that is why people are continuing to come. i am going to speak later today to the former border patrol chief rodney scott. is he going to weigh in on these new numbers. he was in washington earlier this week for a senate hearing and he says he is deeply worried about what he is seeing. listen to what he told the senate. >> i'm extremely concerned by the avoidable and rapid disintegrations of what was arguably the most effective border security in the history of our nation. the current administration has failed to even acknowledge that a crisis exists or to demonstrate any meaningful effort to secure our borders. griff: now, yesterday afternoon, i was pressing cbp for specific number i would like to get. now, we know on record that there are more than 325 gang members that have been apprehended this fiscal year more than 150 in the rgv where we have had a reporter and, lawrence, where you have been. i asked him how many migrants have hit the terrorist screening data base the tsdb and they said we don't keep that number but when i was in panama, i was told that at least 52 terrorists, known terrorists had crossed that darian gap in route to the u.s. guys. lawrence: griff, we know there are 30,000 migrants waiting right now to cross that border. real quickly and i know you stated this with the leader of that group. for the audience, why are people coming now? griff: they are coming now, lawrence, because they are getting a clear message that if you come, you will succeed. no matter how treacherous your journey is, if you survive that journey, you will be allowed to say. in fact, rachel, as you mentioned earlier, there are 12 couples in tijuana where i spent time in that camp that just got married by a catholic priest named fabbian who is from saint peter's church in manhattan, gave them licenses. these are not central americans or haitians. these are mexican families or couples that believe with this marriage license the fact that they got married in this migrant camp that's going to help them. there are so many paths that these migrants sees a a successful path to come and be allowed to stay in the u.s. and they feel that now is the best time to come. and what rodney scott, the former chief is going to tell me today is not only is it an overwhelming situation at the border, but it is a national security critically important moment for our country because, as he says, think of the border as your home, if you don't know who is coming into your home? how can you have security. rachel: so, griff, who is funding them? there is no way activist that you featured there. i have seen him in other introduce as well. there is no way he is on his own organizing the qr codes. this is very sophisticated. who is funding this? griff: that's a great question. and i'm going to head down to mexico after i anchor this afternoon and i will catch up with him and i will ask him pointly that exact question. rachel: thank you. griff: i don't know fully his funding. i will say this, it is certainly appearing to be very organized. and our producer in mexico, who is already in that caravan where we are getting this video from her name maria patterson she will continue to send us pictures and video throughout the morning which i will continue to bring you. ened i will ask her what she can find out. rachel: i would like to know who is funding it? is our government funding it? that wouldn't surprise me either. lawrence: you are one of the best i edits. pete: see you in a boat or on a train in the next 24 hours. appreciate it he mentioned it. real quick. this idea that a catholic priest from manhattan is marrying couples in mexico. they are getting a marriage certificate -- i didn't know you could give marriage certificates from a place where you are not. rachel: giving a manhattan. pete: manhattan marriage certificate to non-american citizens. i don't understand how that can be legal. they believe by presenting it, whether it is or not, it's going to help them get in the country. rachel: it's not just questionablably legal in terms it of federal, state laws, whatever. it's also completely not -- none of this is in accord with catholic rules and regulations around marriage. so, first of all, you can't get married in america outside of a catholic church. people like to have a beach wedding. they won't marry you. you are not allowed to get married outside of the church. those were outdoor weddings. two, you have to go through training to get married. they have -- you have to go through six months to make sure that this is a serious thing. this does not appear to be that. appears to be people doing it for the wrong reason. so, questionable whether this priest is a priest or an activist. we will see. pete: gone rogue. call the pope and check it out. rachel: i don't think there is going to be any reprimand from him. pete: you are right. rachel, look right there throwing your hands up. how much worse can it get? a lot of americans are throwing their hands up as well. if you look at joe biden's approval rating, it has tanked faster than than any most world war ii president. lawrence: good point. lawrence: first to third quarters first year of a presidency drop or raise in numbers. you have eisenhower, carter dropped 9%. bush after 9/11, obviously saw a huge surge up. and if you go to the last -- the most recent three, obama, trump and biden, staggering number there that joe biden surpasses everybody. it's actually not surprising if you look at the cascading number of crises that we could easily list right now. but voters are having some buyer's remorse here and it's reflected in those numbers. rachel: it's just interesting to me that the biden administration hasn't pivoted, you know, the economy. lawrence: they can't. rachel: the economy is something that you know you're going to lose everything if you don't have the economy right, right? pete: but if you are so behold ton climate activists. if that's your religion, then you are willing to sacrifice the economy. you are willing to sacrifice energy in pursuit of that and they have shown that. lawrence: white house has perfect response to this it's simply covid. listen to jen psaki. >> i would go back to what our view is that we are still going through a hard time in this country. people are tired of fighting a pandemic. they are tired of the impact on their lives. some of them are sick and tired of people who won't get vaccinated who they feel are impacting their ability to live life in a normal way. some people are still fearful for loved ones. and we all thought that it would be over at this point in time. there is no question that the fatigue with covid is impacting people around the country. the president understands that he is empathetic to that he knows the best thing he can do is get covid under control. continue to address fundamental issues in our economy. put people back to work. that's what he is focused on every day. lawrence: covid causes crime. covid causes the border. covid causes the supply chain. i mean, that is the new position of the democratic party that all the failure that's happening in this country is because of covid. and this is why they are tanking 11 points. this is why the democrats that i have been talking to in virginia who have been education are saying, do you know what? i was a democrat. i thought i was a democrat. the democratic party left me. maybe i should give the republicans a chance. now, do i know if they're going to win in virginia? i don't know. it is a signal to what is happening in the country because of joe biden's crisis. they lie. they continue to lie, lie, lie. they started under trump and it's because of covid. pete: i think if your issue is the unwashed, unvaccinated and so angry and frustrated with those people, you love joe biden right now. because he is imposing mandates and firing people from their jobs for not getting the vaccine. try to excuse those numbers as if people are dissatisfied because he is not doing enough on covid? it's a dissatisfaction with the mandates that are coming, with the not actually following the science. with masking kids up, with mandates that continue. also, the scary part about this, too, the longer covid persists, the closer we get to the 2022 election. and the more the same protocols that were followed that emergency measures at the ballot box need to be instituted yet again with not as much oversight. rachel: they have to keep the fear going so there is an execute to keep these laws that aren't helping. pete: didn't exist before 2020. rachel: they don't just blame covid. if you recall, they tried to defund police on republicans. that didn't fly very well. they are trying to blame the border on trump. what? like that doesn't make any sense. to think they are really in a credibility crisis as well. lawrence: speaking of virginia, all eyes on virginia as republican glenn youngkin terry mcauliffe final pitches to be the next governor. rachel: mcauliffe hoping for a last minute boost as former president obama is set to hit the campaign trail with him today. pete: alexandria hoff in d.c. with what to look for as the voting numbers come in. >> throughout this campaign mcauliffe the democrat here holding a small but steady lead. that has now changed with just 10 days to go the candidates are now dead even. according to the latest monmouth university poll, the two are currently tied at 46%. now that democrat terry mcauliffe is calling in the big guns to give his voters a push. yesterday he fired up his get out the vote tour bus and today will be joined by former president barack obama. stacey abrams will campaign tomorrow and president biden will do so on tuesday. this week vice president kamala harris lent her voice as well. >> this race is tight. and what happens here, i promise you, are is about the people of the state and the people of our country. and we have got to make it clear, virginia, that we're paying attention. >> the entire country is paying attention because this race is considered indicator of voter sentiment ahead of the midterms. some 115 miles away from where obama and mcauliffe will be be republican glenn youngkin will launch his bus tour in fairfax county. youngkin has been critical of all the big names mcauliffe has brought. in he is focusing on parents frustrated by what they see governor overreach in schools. according to new early voting data 9.5% registered voters have so far turned in their ballots with registered democrats outnumbering republicans so far. guys, send it back to you. pete: alexandria, thank you very much. >> thank you. pete: passengers are warned flights may be canceled if their airline fails to reach their vaccination deadline. cheryl casone is here with a travel warning. there she is. come on in. ♪ as a dj, i know all about customization. that's why i love liberty mutual. they customize my car insurance, so i only pay for what i need. how about a throwback?

otherwise, it should just be a local police matter, anything that happens at any local school board meeting. i think it was absolutely done to stifle parents from speaking out. i think parents understand this i think they are going to continue to speak out. pete: keisha, usc one of those who spoke out you said effectively to school board and others it's time to leave government schools and public schools. do you think that's the only answer or will school boards ever make change? >> i think that's the only answer to make them make changes. i think the nsea is a clear example of why it's time to leave and that they had no regard for parents or children or what was in the best interest of parents and children. and this just goes to show you that their concern is not with american families. their concern is with special interest groups. and they would do whatever they wanted to do, including contact the biden administration and get the doj involved to make sure that they stifle parents' concerns. pete: as remarks you know, when. >> i was going to say, pete, i completely agree with what kisha and karol are saying. we are moms. if our children brought a letter like the school board association sent out as karol said. we would send them back to their room and say you need to write that letter again. i thought i would help out the school board association and did a little edit of their letter. assist them what it should say: dear moms and dads of america, we're sorry. they need to own up and take responsibility for what they have done and apologize just like quisha said, nobody should have to be afraid and parents, all of these momma and pap ba bears are not afraid. they have stood up to the government and they said we have a right to speak. i want to applaud all of them because they are amazing. pete: you would like to think an organization like that could say we are sorry. but from covid protocol. think about it covid cdc guidelines effective live written by teachers unions. school board communicating with the white house quietly and openly. teachers have any say or union dominated exercise at this point? >> well, i think it's really a leftist conglomerate. you hit the nail on the head when the teachers union helped the cdc write the reopening guidelines. when they said the biden administration stimulus bill has to be passed in order for schools to open. >> we have politicized process. the biden administration has politicized all of these agencies that should have never been politicized but here we are. i would say the one positive about this is i get emails every single day from parents all across the country say i have woken up. i'm running for my school board i'm speaking out. i'm fighting back. i now know what's going on and i'm not going back to not paying attention anymore. that's really something. that's really encouraging, i think if there is one positive from education during the pandemic, it's that parents saw what was happening and said no, not my kid. pete: quisha, last word, the, intimidation. they want parents to feel intimidated to speak out. what is your message to parents who might feel intimidated today? >> my message to parents is that there is hope and you do not have to leave your children in these marxist indoctrination camps. you do not have to be silenced or intimidated. if admission, i believe this sin expiring even more parents to stand up for their children who our most precious natural resources. there is no backing down when it comes to our children. pete: i could not say it better myself. amen. azra, quisha, and karol, thank you so much for your time and for being. >> thank you. pete: ferocious watchdogs of our most precious resource. thank you all. >> be unapologetic, everyone. pete: amen and parents are not domestic terrorists. i like that. all right, thank you all. chicago officers could lose their jobs if they don't get vaccinated. but neighboring indiana is offering jobs to those standing for freedom. senator mike braun joins us live to break down the new effort. ♪ how does amerisave deliver such low mortgage rates time after time?

>> well, first of all, that disrespect that's coming from joe biden, from lori lightfoot, from state governments that kind of roll the same way as the federal government, that is the hardest job. throw firefighters in there as well. think about what they have gone through with covid. we have been trying to keep people with their employers in the private sector and the public sector. spent billions of dollars to do it. and now you have got this kind of heavy handed approach. yeah, come on in to indiana. we are a state of choice and free enterprise and in the public sector as well. i served on a school board for 10 years. that's another area i know you have been talking about. you cannot operate the way some places are and expect people to stick around and take it. and that is on display across the country and in those places, my business moved to california 10 years ago. talk about a place even harder than the federal government to deal with, you will make choices individually. you will make it if you work for a school corporation or for a police department. now we have got the other shoe to drop where they are trying to force businesses down to 100 employees, to have that same ultimatum given to their employees. so, this is playing out not only in the race for governor in virginia, across the country. and for we, as republicans, if we don't have enough material to work with, we better soul search what we're doing. because i have never seen an administration government gone wild like we are seeing here reflected in places like chicago and states like illinois, new york, california. rachel: yeah. add state of washington to that, do. you bring up a great point. it's not just how you are treated on the job. when you look at the school system in chicago, those officers have children that go to school. so, tell me, are you already seeing this migration of police officers looking at indiana or is this just your opening offer here?

joins us live as he prepares to go down to mexico himself today. griff: good morning, rachel. happy birthday, welcome to the 5-0 club. heading down to that caravan in a few hours, pete, lawrence any moment now from tapachula our producer is there now. and sending us these videos just moments ago. message for joe biden. it joe biden all we believe numbers about 1,000 right now with more arriving. they should be deporting within the hour. we are told it is highly organized, guys, so much so that migrants were given a q.r. code on facebook to scan to participate. it's being run by the same guy who organized the caravan that we followed in 2019, which took the same track from tapachula all the way negras from -- a man runs an organization. efforts in tapachula a few weeks ago what i was down there. he told me is upset with the obama administration he is sending migrants mixed message to many do. here's some of what he had to say. listen. >> thousands of migrants haiti either die of hunger or die of violence. this is inhumane. the biden administration is telling people, yes, we welcome migrants. we going to do this, we going to do it. but they are not. this as we get final numbers for fiscal year 2021. highest there on record. 1,747,686. go deeper in those numbers, and you see the final month fiscal year 2021 september with 192,000 encounters. actually 9% decrease from august. looking now at this migrant caravan coming, they are coming because they know, like the ones that went before them, they will be allowed to stay, most of them caught and released and the former border patrol chief rodney scott who testified before a senate panel this week says it's not only immigration issue but it's a national security issue, here's some of chief scott. listen. >> i'm extremely concerned by the avoidable and rapid disintegrations of what was arguably the most effective border security in the history of our nation. the current administration has failed to even acknowledge that a crisis exists tore demonstrate any meaningful effort to secure our borders. griff: later at noon chief scott will join me to weigh in on numbers in new caravan. one thing we will be watching this morning, rachel, pete and lawrence is whether the mexican government allows this caravan to advance beyond tapachula. that southern most part of mexico as they make their way 2500 miles to our border. now, last month, we had reports of smaller caravans being stopped. we will see if this one which is very visible will be allowed to continue and what the administration intends to do once it gets closer to our border. rachel: very interesting. they are in the southern most state of mexico. the activist leaders have said, griff, that they are only just going to mexico city because they want to get the proper permission from the mexico government to enter because they haven't been allowed to move from that point. when the migrants are interviewed, they say oh, no, we are going all the way up north. we are going to america. so the leaders have a different message than the -- some of the migrants, in addition, we just saw that sign they were putting forth, griff, did said biden for all. >> we have different message from america first from the last administration. griff: such a good point. look at this sign they have joe biden's name. they are marching with signs saying we are coming. the part about the mexican permit it's a temporary work permit that would allow them to seek jobs and go to any part of mexico not just the tapachula southern area. while they wait to get to the u.s. so ultimately the end goal in both cases is to get to the u.s.s. and they are coming because more are being allowed to stay after crossing illegally than ever before in history. and an important part of these numbers, it's never been that we had people coming from so many different countries. officials say we have more than 150 countries coming whether it was northern triangle in central america, guatemala, honduras, he will salt have a door haitians we saw under that bridge in del rio and african-american countries and all over the place that's why the chief says we are dealing with national security issue. lawrence: it is national security. we know ms-13 folks that have domestic violence abuse i saw the other day people that are part of the cartel have been arrested. so, griff, prayers and safety to you as you travel into mexico. thank you, one last number and this is more than 325 known gang members fiscal year 2021. >> that's why i say to you, griff you are going south. pete: keep us posted. sin searly look forward to the reporting. talk about mixed messages. there is no mixed message or confusion. joe biden is for all. they are going to hold that ban up and dare the white house to stop them when they know the white house is controlled by the far left of the american political tech truck which wants borders open. rachel: we talked to griff earlier, lawrence, i asked him who is funding pueblo, the nonprofit group that's organizing. they have qr codes. highly sophisticated caravan. this isn't just a facebook post. so, he said when he goes down there, he promised us here on "fox & friends" that he was going to ask the leader who he has the -- he knows and has relationship with. he is going to ask him who is funding you? is it, you know, the government is it george soros? who is doing this? lawrence: meanwhile the biden administration is saying per jen psaki that the president went by the border, through the border. the reason why he needs to go. pete: 13 years ago. lawrence: not because of the photo op. you don't understand it watching on tv. until you see what happens there. when you see the wrist bands, the q.r. codes, when you see the broken limbs of people that are hopping on trains because they said that the president of the united states said they could get here. they were deported under the trump administration. but this is their opportunity. you know what? if this is going to be the biden administration's position just to drive through the border, democrats should drive through the voting ballot. just drive by the polls, don't go in there and cast your vote for them because they are showing you the democrats of texas that are along that border how much they think of you. pete: another example of that is we were paying, i think $5 million a day not to build the wall. the biden administration was. yet, we just learned that $500,000 will be put into building a wall around joe biden's house in delaware. so apparently walls do work and are important unless you live on the southern border for this administration. rachel: infrastructure projects that are just human infrastructure worth your dollars but actual infrastructure projects that secure our nation,. pete: here is another thing not worth your dollars according to democrats that's police and law enforcement. we have seen how they have been ridiculed. we have seen how many places they have been defund them. mandates may be forcing out some of the very best who don't want to be forced to comply with a vaccine mandate. now we are learning in one city in austin, texas, residents there, one resident in particular has been told i know there was a crime that happened at your business, we don't have the ability to go there because of covid but we really know it's because of staffing. you are requesting to go ahead and need to collect the evidence yourself on the crime scene. here is kirk andrews. he is austin business owner expressing frustration over the lack of police response. he said, they got back on the phone with me and said that nobody would be coming out and said it was due to covid restrictions which didn't make any sense to me. that, to me, sex extremely frustrating. he was literally collecting shell casings, shots fired. lawrence: tampering with a crime scene. can we talk about that? number two, i have been down to austin reporting on it. they also just told the cops that they were no longer going to be going to certain type of crime scenes. it's not just covid. they said they had lack of resources. so the people of austin, by the way, that's a democrat city. it's a democrat city. and by the way, the democrats they are upset as well. their kids can't go to the playground anymore because the homelessness crisis. they are allowing them have encampments, literally around city hall. and they do absolutely nothing about it. rachel: this is happening in seattle. this is happening all over the place. seattle, by the way. we had a business owner who had been broken -- his business had been broken into multiple times. pete: six times, yeah. rachel: six times. the cops said we can't do anything. get yourself a dog. this is what defund the police looks like. pete: exactly right. the police have security. they even order us to pay with our fall dollars for fences around their summer homes as joe biden did. and then for the rest of you, get a dog and pick up your own shell casings and do your own crime investigation. outrageous. lawrence: we used to say it was just a big city. now in the suburbs as well. actually we really weren't for defund the police even though that was a complete lie. it was the trump administration that was for defund the police. rachel: they tried that. no one believed it. pete: nothing worse than the reality or the prospect of you pick up the phone to call for help and no one answers. rachel: my goodness. pete: no one comes and tell to you deal with it yourself. that's what it's come to. rachel: supply chain, store shelves filled. calling 911 and getting an answer and a response in an emergency. these are things that used to be kind of normal in america that now are not. pete: it's like the guy who -- it's like the place holder for a field goal kicker. you never think about him until he drops the ball. that's what the supply chain is. that's what 911 is. here? pete: it doesn't work? we take it for granted because it's a beautiful system. equal justice is a beautiful thing. capitalism is a beautiful thing. when you start to throw a wrench into it and see the way a lot of people have lived for a very long time. rachel: why they want to come here but maybe they won't find that so much. lawrence: we have been talking about the real crime happening across the country people getting shoved into railroads and shootings all across the country. but, apparently to the national school board's union or whatever they are, representatives, they are not having to apologize for calling parents domestic terrorists. well, you had a family, and panel early on, pete, it was so great of all these moms. let's play some of that from earlier. >> they had no regard for parents or children or what was in the best interest of parents and children. and this just goes to show you that their concern is not with american families. >> what about all the parents who now are afraid to speak out at school board meetings because they are afraid that the justice department and the fbi are going to come after them? >> if our children brought a letter like this school board association just sent out, we would send them back to their room and say you need to write that letter again. i thought i would help out the school board association and did a little edit of their letter and this is simply what it should say, dear moms and dads of america, we're sorry. rachel: pete, what it like interviewing domestic terrorists? pete: dicey. let me tell you this story is messed up on so many levels. the school board association apologized forever creating the letter that became the justification for the department of justice, you know, paying more attention to parents, which is really just intimidation. the letter scribbled on we're sorry they apologized to their members. not to the parents, and ultimately we learned because of something azra naomi brought up as well emails released that the white house was coordinating with the national school board association draft a letter that went to the justice department that merrick garland acknowledge inspected testimony letter putting memorandum out guiding people to pay attention to school board meetings. lawrence: it's such an important point. so much deeper. what happened was the national group, just like these national tea party's union, didn't consult all the local school boards. meanwhile the local school boards are getting the pressure from the parents. what gives? your national organization sent this letter calling us domestic terrorists. they didn't even consult them. just like these national teacher's unions aren't consulting the rank and file teachers. now they have to apologize. rachel: i thought what was fascinating as well is when you asked one of the panelists what's the solution? and honestly she said something that really, i have to agree with, she said the solution is to leave the system. as parents we hate to do that, right? these are our tax dollars. this is our money, these are all children, they don't belong to the state. they don't belong to these boards or the teachers unions. but when there is so much rot and corruption and you see this, you know, coordination with our federal government, with this administration, and all of the stuff going on, at some point you go i just got to save my kids. i might not be able to save this whole system. i have got to save my kids. i think the answers in the wrong run is of course school choice. school choice attaching the money to the child will defund some of these school systems and make them responsive. but, for a lot of parents like me, i look at this and i say i can't wait for something this corrupt to change. my kids will be graduated by then. and for many people their kids will already be indoctrinated they will already get all this weird gender ideology that they are spreading. and they are not getting the reading and writing. this is system by the way the loud loudoun system. this is one of the richest systems in america. this is about cultural marxism that has infected. lawrence: one of the biggest issues for virginia voters right now. pete: in the exchange between the national school board association and the white house the white house even said we need more examples. you need to actually provide examples. what happens when you don't provide evidence or examples you usually are result to hyperbole in that case they resorted to the i had per bow lee terrorists. call them them something didn't have any evidence. turns out none of it was true. rachel: calling your opponents is domestic terrorists has worked for them in the past. just look to january 6th. pete: it's true. turning now to a few additional headlines al well. new york city police searching for this man that attacked an 11-year-old girl manhattan dog park. punched a victim and pulled her hair after she scared the dog. a boy was punched. the teens were not -- and a new whistleblower accusing facebook of picking profit over stopping so-called misinformation and hate speech. "the washington post" reports the former employee says facebook officials were concerns about problematic content and one executive dismissed concerns over public backlash interference in the 2016 election. this as facebook struggles to maintain good public favor and faces scrutiny from lawmakers. other whistleblower -- who says we need more censorship. got it all right, three maryland counties planning to succeed from the state because they want to join west virginia. you know, geographically kind of makes sense. always that weirdout out. wasn't it? republican lawmakers in garrett, allegheny and washington county says conservative constituents are fed up with over whelmingly liberal states. telling the "new york times" quote we are kind of ignored up here. that's why people are thinking west virginia might be an option if they keep ignoring. those are your headlines. i don't know if we have that graphic again or not. i would like to know why maryland juts out like that. how did that happen? look at that. that's not how you draw a state. lawrence: weird. pete: straight line i know it has to do with washington, d.c. a little bit. then it goes down and up. probably a river right there is my guess. rachel: bring historian on. pete: i think that's a segment tomorrow. tell me more about the history of maryland. rachel: i like that. nih admits the u.s. did fund gunch at the wuhan lab despite multiple denials by dr. fauci, something the doj could have been looking at instead of moms. former state department spokeswoman morgan ortagus on the contradiction. pete: christmas shopping in jeopardy bf the supply chain. businesses not in a shipping container because they are made in the u.s.a. that is coming up on "fox & friends." lawrence: that's what i'm talking about. rachel: yeah. ♪ ♪ ♪girl, i don't know, i don't know,♪ ♪i don't know why i can't get enough of your love babe♪ ♪oh no, babe girl, if i could only make you see♪ ♪and make you understand♪ get a dozen double crunch shrimp for $1 with any steak entrée. only at applebee's. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. your mission: stand up to moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. with any steak entrée. only at applebee's. and take. it. on... with rinvoq. rinvoq a once-daily pill can dramatically improve symptoms... rinvoq helps tame pain, stiffness, swelling. and for some, rinvoq can even significantly reduce ra fatigue. that's rinvoq relief. with ra, your overactive immune system attacks your joints. rinvoq regulates it to help stop the attack. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious infections and blood clots, sometimes fatal, have occurred as have certain cancers, including lymphoma, and tears in the stomach or intestines, and changes in lab results. your doctor should monitor your bloodwork. tell your doctor about any infections... and if you are or may become pregnant while taking rinvoq. take on ra. talk to your rheumatologist about rinvoq relief. rinvoq. make it your mission. learn how abbvie could help you save on rinvoq. ever wonder how san francisco became the greenest big city in america?

>> because there is no accountability for anything that they have done for the past year and a half. and they are trying everything they can to deflect from the wuhan lab. and there's a pattern of who they accuse of actually being the people or the country to start covid-19. so they have, of course, blamed the u.s. army. they have done that on multiple times. they also have blamed australia. they blamed india. what do these three countries have in common obviously under mike pompeo and president trump we stood up to the chinese communist party. australia had the audacity to call for an independent investigation. and, of course, india has been defending themselves, defending their territory neither himalayas against the chinese incursions there. any country that dare to shine a light on what actually happened or stand up to the chinese communist party in any way the chinese tried to deflect from wuhan. tried to deflect all the accusations and say oh it's maine lobsters. pointedly, they tried to blame maine lobsters because they know that is important agricultural commodity and export in the united states so they want to try to deflect and hurt us at the same time. and i would finally say, rachel, just remember the doctors, the journalists, the scientists who knew what was happening about wuhan and blowing the whistle, they have gentleman nicly disappeared in china. rachel: right, that was the first clue there were problems. whistleblowers were all disappeared. and you talk about holding china accountable. maybe we ought to start holding dr. fauci accountable who did everything he could and we now have the letters of him colluding with other scientists to try to hide the fact that the u.s. was funding gain of function but more importantly just trying to get us off the idea of china when nobody could have known better than fauci about what was happening in that lab. he was all down with everyone saying that you were racist if you suggested that it came from china. >> yeah, and importantly, it was actually in the obama administration that we did away with gain of function research because that administration was concerned about things just like this happening. so there was a lot of work arounds that the nih would do. josh rogin from "the washington post has reported extensively on this. on the work arounds that the nih would do. specifically in this lab and other places around the world to distract. try to make it look like they were funding gain of function research. listen, this is why we live in a democracy. we need to shine the light on anything that we are doing. but, ultimately, listen, ultimately the chinese communist party is trying to escape responsibility for a deadly virus that they have unleashed on the world. there is still no real independent investigation into what happened. there is still no accountability. and the world is asleep. rachel: right. our government appears to be an apologist for the chinese government in this cover up and you have to wonder why. maybe it's -- thanks a lot morgan for sharing this information. it's so important. most important topic going on right now. thank you. >> i agree. thanks, rachel. rachel: all right. coming up next, someone i know very well sean duffy joins us live. oh. i didn't know that was happening. >> hot dogs and cake, everybody. happy birthday. rachel: oh my goodness. ♪ celebrate ♪ they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really?

rachel: we're going to talk about supply chain problems. business groups representing wholesalers, are warning the biden administration that their vaccine mandate is going to have a catastrophic affect on jobs and supply chain problems will only grow worse if thousands of workers laid off. having impact and hitting close to your table. we are hearing now, sean, this is serious stuff. chipotle is going to raise their prices. >> this is where it all stops. chillicothe. this makes sense, so the wholesalers, they sent a letter to the president. three pages and if you are an organization like this, you don't write letters to the president because you don't want a political enemy in the president. it has to be that serious to write. rachel: good point. >> if you go forward with vaccine mandates we are going to lose a number of employees, we already have a supply chain issue and labor issue if you go through with the mandate we will have a bigger issue. you are not fixing the supply chain with a mandate you will make it worse. you guys all know this but supply and command. if you affect the supply further, and demand stays the same. you will see inflation and prices rise. we will have more inflation and supply chain issues. they have to pay more people to come back into the workforce which means those price increases for labor is going to be passed onto the consumer as well. again, more inflation. this is just absolutely stupid by the biden administration. lawrence: what do you think the action is going to be, i'm a chipotle small, dump some of the meat out of the scoop before they put it in there. do you notice it? people are going to be upset about that. >> they won't use scoops like little spoons now to put a little meat in there. to your point, lawrence, is i think the more and more people see the price increases and see it at the gas pump and see it at chipotle and see it at grocery store the more frustrated they get. who do i blame? who is at fault for the issues i see in the economy. only one person to look at and it's joe biden which is why we see so many democrats afraid of all the things that are happening because joe biden is not up for three years for election. but these house democrats, these senators are up in a year from now. and so they are starting to freak out. rachel: i'm so surprised that they are doing this. the economy is one thing you say you can do. inflation hurts the working class and poor more. >> aocs of the world. the squad, they are never going to lose their seats by going forward with these kind of policies. you have a lot of moderate seats. but also some members think they were safe. but now they are going oh my goodness. horrible. do they really want to give up their congressional seat, something you work really hard for. rach and i know this. your whole works at this give it up for policies that hurt make have. >> there have been a lot of retirements is that why? >> you will see more retirements, lawrence. they will continue to roll in. rachel: interestingly, we had on our podcast this weekend, it comes out today, we had senator rand paul, i asked him about aoc. i said is it because she really believes this is going to happen? and he gave a quote that we could all use. he said i put her in the category of big heart, small brain. you can watch that podcast and hear that quote and he also talks about fauci and so much more on our podcast from the kitchen table. it's a great interview with senator rand paul. dropped now. something else that dropped, sean. >> our christmas book. our christmas book. listen, this is great. you can actually preorder right now. it's made in america. we have fox talent from around the studio that have come in and talked about finest memories of christmas. traditions of christmas. so, it's very cool and if you are looking for a great gift or a great read. our american. rachel: no supply chain problems with this. preorder, book is made in america. lawrence: have it for christmas. pete: great to see you. thanks for bringing the cake. >> listen, i have got to get a piece before i go. lawrence: had our food. >> i was up at 3:00 cooking the cake. balloons, flour arrangements, that's the kind of guy i am. lawrence: coming up, all-american christmas on fox square. we have toys made right here in the u.s.a. live on fox square. ♪ ♪ i'm proud to say ♪ that we're all-american ♪ in god we trust ♪ living the dream ♪ and never giving up - as someone with hearing loss, i know what a confusing and frustrating experience getting hearing aids can be; that's why i founded lively. high-quality hearing aids with all the features you need and none of the hassle. lively offers bluetooth-connected, fda-approved hearing aids delivered to your door; sold at a fraction of the price with direct access to an audiologist whenever you need it. better hearing has never been this easy. - [announcer] and we're taking a $100 off all lively hearing aid purchases. visit listenlively.com/tv when i was diagnosed with dupuytren's contracture, i waited to get treated. thought surgery was my only option. but then i found out about nonsurgical treatments. it was a total game changer. learn more about the condition at factsonhand.com >> two people accidentally shot on the movie set by a prop gun. we need help immediately. >> was it loaded with a real bullet. >> i cannot tell you that. >> new details emerging from the 911 calls prop gun alec baldwin handling on movie set. killing cinematographer and injuring director. how could something like this happen. here someone who has been on dozens of movie sets including those with guns. actor dean cain our friend. terrible, tragic story. the question really we all is how does this happen? >> pete, it's something that should never have happened. it was a huge, huge awful tragedy. i feel terrible for everyone involved. obviously the cinematographer who lost her life and director who was shot and alec himself. i disagree with alec politically tremendously but i like him personally. we are friends. and this is just a horrible situation. there's a really clear protocol when you have a firearm on set. and clearly the protocols weren't followed. i can run through it real quick. i'm not going to say exactly what happened because i'm not -- i wasn't there. and, you know, i am also a law enforcement officer. i'm not going to mess with the investigation or anything. but, starts off with an armorer or prop guy who has the weapon, okay? always a safety meeting prior to something happening. talk to everybody. first addresses the entire crew. talks about the size of the blank. quarter load, half load, full load. sound hearing and eye protection is provided. if you are going to fire the weapon at camera, there is a stand that goes in front of the lens and people. if it happens the stand can stop 9-millimeter. strong stuff. generally the stunt coordinator gets involved with the corography. you don't point weapons at anybody. when you fire you try to make sure that doesn't happen. the rounds, the blank rounds are loaded just before each fire. if you are rehearsing, you use a rubber gun or something else of that nature. now, i did try to do some research on this and i found out a few things from some sources nearby who knows some people around. i guess this was happening. it's a period piece so this weapon was period weapon or looked similar to a period weapon. who knows maybe who that came from maybe not an armorer or somebody who does recreations, i don't know specifically i heard it was a live round that was left in the chamber. pete: how does a live round even make it on to a set? >> it should have never ever. rule number one that live rules are kept out. now as one who has done so many flimsz with firearms, and i also am a police officer. i fire rounds all the time. i'm very familiar with my firearms. i check every single time. you may have somebody go through and check clear a weapon. they show me the magazine is empty or siller is empty. dry fire. things can you do. i also i can't. unless i have to, i won't point the weapon at anybody. i'm aiming in the right spot? good, good, we will do that i don't know how it happened. and it shouldn't have ever -- that live round should be nowhere near a set ever and that was a colossal mistake. it's going to get ugly. losing someone's life there is going to be bad repercussions. pete: it is tragic. dean cain you know what you are talking about as usual. >> we appreciate you being here. >> thanks, pete. pete: we have got coming up on the program clay travis, dan bongino going to join us live, don't go anywhere. ♪ with amerisave's consistently low mortgage rates, your little girl can go wherever her dreams take her, like toward a career in the ethics of rhythm and movement. anyway, good luck with that, because amerisave can only help with the part of the dream you can buy -- with money. qunol is the number one cardiologist recommended with the part of the dream form of coq10.- qunol has 3 times better absorption than regular coq10. the brand i trust is qunol. you have the best pizza in town and the worst wait times. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like: matching your job description. just stop. go for a run. go for 10 runs! run a marathon. instead, start small. with nicorette. which can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette. moving is a handful. no kidding! fortunately, xfinity makes moving easy. easy?

[cheers and applause] doesn't she look it? we agree, we agree. so stick with us. we have got a fun final hour here on "fox & friends." but we start with this. on the move right now, thousands of illegals are beginning to march to the united states. rachel: this exclusive video is just in to our newsroom and showing what is happening right now in the southern state of mexico as the massive caravan heads to our southern border. lawrence: unbelievable. griff jenkins joins us live down in mexico himself today. griff, that video. >> reporter: good morning. let's go back to this video down where i will soon head. the migrants, numbering more than a thousand, are on the march. you can hear them. [speaking spanish] they were chanting as this departed, the southernmost city. that, of course, was once a campaign slogan of one president barack obama in 2008. they're marching now, and they were making signs, guys, with president joe biden's name on it. the sign is giant. they painted it in red, joe biden is for all. clearly, the migrants are not getting the message they shouldn't come as often the administration will say because so many migrants are being allowed to simply cross and stay in the u.s. we've been talking about it all morning, the 1.7 million thats crossed our border this fiscal year, the most ever in history. but you see also these signs, we come this peace. this is certainly a sign of more to come, and it is an important point because as this caravan starts heading towards our border, it's about 2500 miles from where they are if they follow the same track of 2019, they went to eagle pass, texas, it'll be right down the road from what we saw in del rio last month. and i think it underscores the fact that this surge, unprecedented, is not slowing down in the least bit, and it is highly organized. the organizer ran caravans in 2019, and he's running this one. you see the american flag, they're flying a giant american flag as they go. now, they're on the move right now. organizers of the caravan told our producer, moira, that mexico's immigration police are 4 miles outside of this city. it'll be interesting to see if they actually stop them because there is a lot of pressure on mexico to try and keep them from our southern border. we know that, obviously, a court has ordered that the administration reinstate remain in mexico, that trump era policy that helped cut down on the number of illegal crossings. but yet how that will be implemented is yet to be seen in how the administration gets an agreement which is yet to happen with mexico to do so. so a very important caravan not just a large one coming right now as we speak, and i will soon held there and join them. lawrence, pete, rachel? lawrence: griff, one quick question for you. these are mexicans who are making their way across. i remember when i was on the ground when the haitian population was coming across. the mexican authorities did not let them set up camp on their side. they said camp on the american side. so since these are mexicans, are they going to let them set up camp there? there shouldn't be an excuse for them not to be able to stay this, right? >> reporter: great question. this caravan, we believe, is made up of not just mexicans, but also some central americans from guatemala, honduras and el salvador along with some haitians. so this is really indicative of just how many different countries are coming. but your point about just moving them along is the fundamental problem. remember when i was in panama a week ago, we saw them come out of that darien gap jungle on a canoe, and they would get to the southernmost point of panama, get on on a bus, go 12 hours straight to costa rica and be let out. now mexico, which has traditionally facilitated these folks along, they don't want them there either. i got a phone call yesterday, i said hello, it was a haitian migrant named junior who i met and interviewed and we put on the air in panama last week. he's already in this and a part of it. so really the problem is if you're going to address the root causes as vice president harris says she's going to, you've got to stop this way before every country south of our border has simply moved them along, as you say. that is the fundamental cause. by the way, our producer in the pool yesterday asked vice president harris whether or not she has any plans to go to the border anytime soon, she said not this year. and, of course, as we saw in that town hall with president biden, he seems to think he's been to the border although it's not clear that he ever has. so the problem of this caravan coming right now is really sort of sums up all of the issues that we have with no end in sight. pete: griff jenkins, thanks so much. keep us posted. we look forward to your reporting down there along with the caravan, and that's a perfect segway because he mentioned what joe biden said at the town hall. a little confused about whether he'd been there, saying maybe i should go to the border. our own peter doocy was in the white house press pool and asked jen sack i key about joe biden's -- jen psaki about president biden's absence at the border. >> reporter: why did president biden say he has been to the border? >> well, peter, as you've seen, there's been reporting that he did drive through the worder when he was on the campaign -- >> does that count as a visit? he said i've been there before. you're saying he drove by for a few minutes, does that count? >> what is the root cause? where are people coming from -- >> the president said -- >> i'm asking you a question. i think people should understand the context -- [inaudible conversations] >> i'm asking you -- >> okay, i'll answer for you. people come from central american countries. the president has been there ten times to talk about border issues. there is a focus right now on a photo op. the president does not believe a photo op is a solution. >> that's not what he said earlier. he said i guess i should go down. so does he think that he needs a photo op? >> he doesn't. rachel: that exchange is fascinating. we can fight about whether he thinks he was there or wasn't there, the point is you go to the border if you think there's a crisis. and i believe that for the biden administration this is not a crisis, this is a plan that's being executed beautifully. this is what they want to happen. they wanted open borders. in fact, lawrence, they're finding new ways for illegal immigrants to come. now the white house has put out a report on climate and migration which actually opens the tour for some of these people who refuse to go through the proper channel, the system we have in place for legal immigration now making claims that they are climate refugees. lawrence: yeah. and not just that, you have people that are in the middle class in a lot of these countries, and we're saying we don't even have to go through the legal pathway, let's just go to the southern border. lastly on the clip, it would be one thing the these folks were staying in the country of origin. it's now an american problem. they're now here. just to focus on where they start doesn't really solve the problem. also i want to know what is homeland security doing? mayorkas has been very transparent behind closed doors, he'll tell border patrol, the people of texas, look, i understand there's a crisis, but when he gets in front of the camera, much like jen psaki, they lie and won't take ownership of the crisis. pete: rachel, you hay be right, this is actually a well orchestrated and executed plan. the question is whether that plan is in keeping with what voters really want, and we're starting to see that in the approval rating of joe biden. and we compared it against previous presidents of the post-world war ii era. and in the first three-quarters, the first and third quarter of the first year of their presidency, where did their approval rating going in comparing it. joe biden's not doing well. if you look at past numbers, eisenhower down a couple points, carter down nine, reagan down three. george w. bush post 9/11, obama down ten, biden down a whopping 11.3 points. maybe open borders is what they want. maybe they want to close pipelines and make gas prices go up. maybe they want -- rachel: that's what they want. >> pete: -- impose mandates on people across the country. these are all things they want to do, but in doing so, do they know how much they're alienating people with a lot of buyer's remorse? lawrence: it looks like democrat have buyer's remorse. that's not just independents that are dropping concern these are democrats that are saying enough is enough. if my pocketbook matters. rachel: and some very key constituents, his panic ins in particular -- hispanics in particular, many of them upset about education. they don't want their kids indoctrinated either. they came to this country for opportunity, not to turn their kids into marxist activists. one of the things we put on griff jenkins to do as he goes if down to mexico today is we want the know who's funding this. ing if you look at that caravan that came through, it is very sophisticated. we're learning they're using qr codes, this is not some ragtag team of people who came together. this is organized. who's funding it? is it a george soros group? is it our federal government through ngos? we don't know. griff has promised to get an answer on that. pete: he'll get it if anybody can. lawrence: that national poll is starting to affect voters on the local level, and virginia is one of the big states right now. republican glenn youngkin and terry mcauliffe making their final pitches. rachel: mcauliffe is hoping president obama can give him an edge. pete: a look at early voting numbers. alexandria. >> reporter: as of right now, over 9.5% of registered voters in virginia have returned a ballot with democrats largely outnumbering republican ifs, but election day is ten days away. this morning glenn young kin fired up the get out the vote this fairfax county. he's energized by polls that show a recent slip by his opponent, democrat terry mcauliffe. >> we're going to share a message with virginia, a message that is rooted, rooted in a future that can be so much better than our past and where we are right now. >> reporter: the latest monmouth university poll shows both candidates tied now at 46. mcauliffe who served as virginia's governor and is trying to win back that state has called on the big guns. he launched his bus tour yesterday and is today will be joined by former president barack obama. stacey abrams will campaign tomorrow and president joe biden will do so on tuesday. youngkin has been critical of the big names, instead he's banking on support from parents frustrated by what they see at government overreach in schools. and on that note, we do have some breaking news for you. the national school board association is now apologizing for likening some parents to domestic terrorists. as you know, it was their original letter where they stated that sent to president biden that prompted the department of justice's promise to investigate parents. no word yet if the attorney general will retract that directive at this point, guys. pete: thank you. apologize to her members, not necessarily to the parents. hey, we'll take it. it's a baby step, alexandria. really appreciate it. all eyes on that race, lawrence. you were down there recently and got a chance to talk to people. lawrence: loudoun county is ground zero for this fight. i had an opportunity to talk about the big governor's race. take a look. let's talk about this governor's race. what do you think is going to be the defining issue? >> i think one of the defining issues will be education. that is definitely something i'm hearing from all the moms, all of the dads. as a former democrat, i'm very concerned that the party has completely left its core values. lawrence: do you think education is going to be the defining issue. >> oh, i think it's going to be the defining issue of this whole election. >> what's going on in the schools is horrendous. i've got a 6-year-old boy, and hi wife works for the school system, and she's just about had it. >> i see it going to mr. youngkin for education, the economy and is, in general, freedom. pete: and, in general, freedom. rachel: yeah. lawrence: i told you guys several of those folks were democrats. they still classify themselves as democrats because they believe that the party left them, they didn't leave the party. rachel: yeah. it's fascinateing, what's happening there. people are saying it's a bellwether state. if i talk to people, i have family that that lives in virginia, they say youngkin is going to take the edge and is win this, so we'll see. and we'll also see if youngkin wins, if it actually has an impact on other democrats who -- the. pete: yeah. that will be very interesting. i'll say as demoralizing what's happening in our classrooms is, it's very heartening to finally see education be a topic. how long have we felt like -- it's about time. it's always been a third, fourth tier topic, and yet when you look at the indoctrination of our kids, it's great to see -- ray i ray i -- rachel: i agree. pete: we're going to pause to tell you about something you are you are not going to want to miss. the patriot awards are barely over three weeks away, tickets are going fast, it's on november 17th. it's at the hard rock live theater in hollywood, florida. now, the gold tier tickets for the event are sold out, but there are still spots at the silver and patriot tiers. get your tickets at foxnation.com/patriotawards. we will all be there, will will be there -- lawrence: i just ordered -- pete: you did?

>> well, first of all, thanks for having me. good morning, everybody. i think you have to give a lot of credit to enes kanter for stepping out there. remember, a couple of years ago the then-general manager of the houston rockets tweeted free hong kong, and basically everything fell apart in terms of the relationship between the nba and china. they're still trying to pick up the pieces. in fact, the 76er games, because he's thousand the gm of the -- now the gm of the 76ers, are still not chaired. and all of these nba players have wanted to see they are activists, but we've got nba players in chinese sneakers with chinese sneaker dealers char actually made -- that are actually made with slave cotton from muslim uyghur minority population there, and it's as if no one wants to pay attention to the inconsistency of speaking out on all sorts of american issues denigrating our country, refusing to go visit the white house, but shutting up and dribbling for chairman xi. and i give credit to e necessary chanter -- enes kanter. i'm not sure how many stood the up alongside of him. yesterday he came out with an even more aggressive statement saying the chinese government was guilty of general side, that he wants for the uyghurs to be freed from the concentration camps in which they're held, have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, basic human rights which they don't have in china, and i think this is a major issue, guys, not only because of the nba's relationship, but remember, the biden administration is going to send our athletes to beijing in ten as a port of the -- as a part of the winter olympics. guys, i don't think that makes sense at all. we are basically kowtowing to china when we need to be standing up to them. i give e necessary caboter -- enes kanter credit. his family was jailed in turkey, he himself is not allowed to return to his home country because of his willingness to speak out against the brutal leadership in that country. so this is a guy who knows a little bit about freedom and the benefits that we have in america compared to what the chinese and the turkish people where he's from don't have. rachel: yeah. he sounds like a really brave person. >> no doubt. rachel: you brought out the hong kong, when that tweet went out about hong kong, and it was lebron james that kind of tried to tell players to be quiet and go along because he knows his master. >> yes. rachel: my question to you is what has been the reaction of the players and the owners to this doubling down of enes' statement? >> most of them are pretending it doesn't exist. and that's sad. but even sadder, i think, is there's a whole cottage industry of media that are, that make their living covering the nba. and these are the same people that every time lebron james criticized a police officer or every time steve kerr rips donald trump or gregg popovich did the same, they were there writing down every word, and they made it a headline. you go on espn.com's web site today, you know what you won't see? any of enes kanter's statements about chinese oppression because i believe espn is protecting their relationship with the nba, and they know that china is going to be furious, and they're trying to pretend that this story doesn't exist in a way that they never did every time donald trump was ripped, every time a police officer was attacked. i think it's shameful of the n with ba media, i think --, this ba media, i think it's a nettic. rachel: i think it's gross, actually, i think it's really gross. >> it is. it is. pete: clay -- >> i agree with you guys. pete: i think we agree college football though, not gross.
