one thing they do is when sleeping they start talking to you. that happened to me last night as i got into rem and i had a hard time getting back to sleep. douglas: at least we are not about to go to spend the morning in the river unlike certain people who we know. rachel: let's check in with pete and will who are about to do their big, much anticipated navy seals swim for which pete might be more well-trained because of certain circumstances. pete: i don't know. if you go back and forth, good morning to all of you. we are a few short miles away, you can see the building from here and it's the navy seals, year 5, my third year doing it and this guy here rope to me in by saying we are doing it next year, we are at the empty sky september 11th memorial. how are you feeling?

>> president biden: we are winning all the competitions. rachel: political reporting president biden will sign a strategic partnership agreement with vietnam during a rumored visit next month. this partnership will reportedly boost vietnam's technology sector. so the week ended heavy on international work but according to the latest fox news paul majority of voters disapprove of the president's handling of foreign policy, the majority disapproval extends to october 2021. back to you. rachel: thank you very much. the president's poll numbers not looking great. also not looking great next to the top-tier presidential candidate on the republican side, donald trump, lots of polls coming out on that as well. here's what a lot of americans, fox news digital went out and talked to a lot of different americans and got a lot of opinions. is a montage of how americans are feeling about president biden's performance? >> i will give him a c-. he hasn't done enough for me. >> a plus. >> have because i see nothing he has done for the american people. >> f. because he is in my opinion beginning a socialist government, we were built on capitalism. >> he calmed the nation at a time it needed to be calmed down. >> haven't dealt with issues with the fed real well, not happy with foreign policy and i'm worried about his health. >> i am a democrat. our economy is getting better. >> a c-because of the student loan thing. at least he tried. >> afghanistan, the pullout was pretty calamitous. he is old. >> reminds me of new york city, nature follows. remember mayor ed koch, used to walk around and ask people how am i doing? may be president biden should do that, so he would get out of the bubble from being insulated because so many people at the white house say abu agila mohammad masud kheir al-marimi is great. at the end of the day the kitchen table issues of how you' re making your ends meet and whether you can pay your bills and do what you want to do for your kids and do what you want to do for summer vacations is in the rearview mirror but at the end of the day people are not better off and that is what latest poll shows, 50% of americans say they are worse off than when biden took office and that is why you are seeing the same sort of negative reply in that piece. rachel: the scandal around president biden is affecting his poll numbers? douglas: there has been a breaking of the barrier of the stories about the family. goodness knows as we all know in the new york post knows, this is taken some years but it has been spelling out, you can see that, you can hear that around the country. it is not a secret anymore, not just a bit of the country that knows about it. everyone is starting to realize it. a montage like that, there is this big divide between what the white house says the situation is in america and how it feels for people in america. the white house keeps saying all the figures they keep pushing out, it doesn't feel like that when you are in the grocery store, when you are at the tools. it just doesn't. rachel: you talk about end of summer, people are now buying school supplies, clothes for school and gearing up for that. on top of the economic pressures, they have to deal with schools that are working against them and their values and not keeping their children safe or protecting there is no sense, one of those school districts sees a lot of parents fighting back, the new jersey school district, they are fighting back against policies that was in place by the governor of new jersey to allow teachers in schools to hide the fact that a child is calling themselves by different gender or different name, gives the school permission to not inform the parents who one would think would have a right to know that. schools are fighting back and now some result of come forward from the new jersey school district the temporarily blocked from enforcing the requirement to notify parents. is a statement from the middletown -- how can i never say it? griff: we are showing where they are trying to let parents know, but the state does not want parents to know. rachel: here is a statement from bruce padilla who is representing the school district, trying to defend the parents and he says we strongly disagree with the court's ruling and believe there are several grounds for appeal, significantly the court decided to maintain the status quo, and did not rule on the merits of the policy, simply, it is not discrimination to tell parents if their child decides to change the gender in their student records, the law supports our position. you have been covering a lot of what has seeped into our culture from the left and woke, what do you make of this? douglas: it isn't it amazing? what adult would step in between a parent and their child. what court would dare to do that? what authority would dare to do that? if a child has a migraine in school and need to take an aspirin, the parents are going to be told about that, but you have these sinister figures, and they are sinister who think that if a child gets led astray and it is being led astray by the gender nonsense, that there's no such thing as biological sex, you choose what gender you want to be, you might be one gender to be at another one after lunch, that if a child is acting up like this and it is acting up, that that should be kept as a secret from a parent. there is something deeply wicked in that, and in protecting such a racket. rachel: here are some parents sounding off on this thing that is so deeply disturbing. >> they think parents are danger and kids will be harmed if they know about it. >> we heard from many parents who are extremely upset and worried and concerned about what school districts might be hiding from them. we alert parents for everything from a child needs an aspirin during the day to signing a permission slip to watch a movie or read a book in class so this is a very far reach for a lot of parents. >> the fact that we are having this discussion concerns everyone. the parents and the children to have a right to know, that's the backbone of education in america in our country. >> this is the issue that catapulted glenn youngcan into office. he has continued to fight for this, you get the crt in schools, the deer, climate change agenda in schools, indoctrination, this theme of these schools particularly the teachers unions that are trying to separate our children from our parents and it is not going away. rachel: they want to turn them into little marxist activist, that is what they see is the purpose of the school rather than to educate, good to see parents fighting back but we need to talk more deeply about what is behind it, who are the actors, who are the groups funding the politicians who are pushing these kinds of policies that are clearly not popular even with parents who are kind of liberal in new jersey. douglas: look at the face of the districts that are most prominent antimatter literacy scores in that district and guarantee the places are looking to make little activists cannot educate. rachel: my children go to a private catholic classical academy in new jersey. i suspect following this controversy there's going to be a higher environment in the fall for them. parents want alternatives. for those lucky enough to get out of the system. that's why we need school choice. we are turning to a fox wildfire alert. the death toll in in the tragic maui wildfires is increasing overnight to one hundred 14 and the fires are still burning on parts of the island as the pentagon says it is sending an additional 700 personnel to help end the fires. yesterday the prime minister of japan offered his support for the deadly wildfires. >> i express my sympathy and i really pray for the piece of those that have lost their lives, in order to offer support, $2 million worth of support. >> might be more empathy than our own president has expressed, president biden is planning to visit maui on monday. the trial of brian coburg are will begin on the original scheduled date after a judge denied his legal team's request to delay it yesterday.

>> reporter: as you mentioned, numbers are increasing, we see that at ground level. when you have increased numbers of illegal immigrants coming across the border between ports of entry you have an increase of human smuggling, and only caramelization, being able to exploit the fact that we have an open border, thousands coming across the border, but trying to expand their enterprise, not only in the state of texas but also out-of-state where you see drivers being recruited for social media. they travel to the border to become human smugglers, getting paid thousands of dollars to smuggle people to other parts of the state because it's a multibillion-dollar business and the revenue generated from human smuggling, takes us back to the mexican drug cartels who control human smuggling. very dangerous especially with high-speed chases and our local family, mother and daughter that were killed by a human smuggler because he crashed his vehicle when being chased, it is dangerous to the illegal immigrants themselves who are being smuggled by human smugglers. griff: border patrol agents in the el paso sector late yesterday afternoon, i retweeted jason owens, there were agents fired on from the mexican side, from cartel members while arresting three migrants and two others fled back into mexico, now working with the government of mexico trying to apprehend those, coming under fire. >> the situation at the border has become more dangerous for law enforcement, the fact that we see armed gunmen coming across the borders wearing military type armor, high-powered rifles come military type rifles, tactical gear similar to what we would where were the military wears, the fact they're making their presence known, firing upon agents, we have many events early on where we have armed cartel members from mexico fire towards our national guard just to intimidate them. the fact they've become so much more powerful with so much influence and more brazen than ever before, they are not scared, they are not afraid to make their presence known which is why they are doing these dangerous tactics to increase these tactics, intimidation tactics to scare law enforcement to either get them out of the area to get across a list drugs or high-ranking or high-profile illegal immigrants across the border. griff: you found 7. 62 caliber ammo in a backpack, armor piercing stuff, unbelievable, the administration maintains the border is secure. what i see and you are telling us is it is anything but. we've got to leave it there, have a great weekend, thanks. >> thank you. griff: from funnel cakes to front runners, the pulse of the people at the iowa state fair, she's next plus over 1000 miles away in jekyll island, georgia, rick reichmuth is taking a deep dive into the fun at the c-terminal center. s proferred by this football pro. and proferred by this football pro who actually uses her feet. and if we profer it, we know you'll prefer it too. i use my feet. have you seen me scramble?
