♪ will: good morning and welcome to "fox & friends" and we just returned from the patriot awards in the grand ole opry. i said i'm concerned. i love nashville. i got a little sense headed towards it is future looking like austin. social media people saying i'm on the right track. i was in the golden era and lived in austin during the era and everyone living in austin thought they were there during the golden era and during the 90s when it was, yeah, cut ratey and fun liberal and in this house we believe in masks, love is love. know what i'm talking about. the stereotypical liberal household and indistinguishable from any other city in america. i'm worried nashville is at the beginning or golden era of the existence of the run of the mill and i should ask clay travis about this and the ccp and there's an aura about it and it's wonderful and they elect liberals and a new liberal mayor just got elected. he was the most liberal of the crop. he's pushing all these new forms of public transportation. it's always a predictable set of circumstances and it's a real risk on the area. rush the morning show and myself went on one of those pedal your way down. pete: the pedal bike. rachel: yeah, it's like a -- all of us on there pedaling away. there's footage of it. we ran into those girls this. those ladies there. they were a bridal shower and before we ran into them, we called up john rich and said, hey, we're here. he's like, fun, meet me -- i'll be outside in about five minutes. we do this loop and we run into this bridal shower and guess what they're doing as they're parked? they're singing save a horse, ride a cowboy. pete: nice. will: nice. rachel: ainsley goes up to them and says hey, we have a surprise for you. they pedaled their way down and there's john rich out front and we just made their bridal party. it was super fun. he got a drink with them inside his bar at red neck riviera and we had a ball and it was fun and it was a nashville moment. pete: for sure. talking to john rich and others in nashville during covid and got a lot of blm mask stuff there and they'll say, hey, we saw the beginning of what that could look like. hopefully because the majority of people moving to nashville area are looking for sanity, they won't vote for more of that, you never know. will: there was a saying keep austin weird. you need to keep nashville country. pete: we'll try. richard wrote a letter to house oversight chair james comer and jim jordan and they're in the middle of a lot of investigations on capitol hill and more revelations and the white house council broke the letter to house republicans and there's a portion of what they said. they said your latest steps following irresponsible set of subpoenas and the biden family members and others for interviews that you lunch last week and all of them are private citizens including for example the president's deceased son's widow and these unjustified requests were sent despite the fact after a year of investigating, records of testimony and witnesses have refuted from the president. seems the white house threw the justice department top to bolt tom, they're going to go all the way to the mack to protect the biden family and it's coincidental timing and election weir coming and you happen heat wraps up and not easy to get the folks to capitol hill to testify. rachel: yeah, of course, they don't want to do that. comer responded to white house letter and ibram stead of fulfilling the pledge for the transparent administration in history, white house is withholding over 82,000 pages of e-mails where joe biden used a pseudonym as vice president and refuses to provide proof he loaned joe biden money and seeks to block the bidens and their associates and current and former white house staff from testifying before congress. president biden is the white house seeking to obstruct this investigation at every turn and we're continue to follow the fafacts and hold president biden accountable for the american people. i'm glad that james comer and he deserves so much credit. he's carrying this load alone and this souled have been done by the doj and fbi and have all the tools to have done this so much easier but instead they blocked whistle blowers and any avenue that led to joe biden, they put a block in it. it's been up to the house and james comer to do this investigation and they're coming up with all the stuff and getting these guys in and going whoa whoa whoa. he's always bringing up joe biden and his son bo. my son and his widow. ed widow sleeping with the other son. trying to make it sound like you're being mean to the bidens. this is so ugly. they have granddaughters whose names are on some of the shell companies and this family is so corrupt and they need to get in front of this committee. will: to the middle east, bethlehem dismantled all christmas decorations in solidarity with the people of gaza. bethlehem removed all of the deck rations saying this -- decorations saying this is from a facebook post saying bethlehem municipalities dismantle christmas deck races and festive appearances in solidarity with the people in gaza and martyrs. apparently city spokesperson says they're not really into celebrating right now in bethlehem. rachel: by the way, that's bethlehem and wawa tosa, wisconsin, advising not to do tafanely either. yeah, we thought that, you know, as christians, we care about these sights, pete. pete: you'd think. this is jesus' fault? got it. if you want to understand the dynamics of bethlehem, go to fox nation. there's an episode called battle for bethlehem. rachel: i remember that. pete: lays out bethlehem was the birthplace of jesus and it was a christian town even though it was in the west bank and runs-over the tourism of christians and if you're a jew, you can't go there. it's not somewhere safe to go. they allow christians to go because of the money that it brings in and major square and at the actual site of the ch church. but the dem demographics of bethlehem, christians are fully gone but it's close. used to be majority christian. today, it's less than 5% christian and it's only really tourists and i went to the bet learfield img ham baptistture and have a pastor bravely still there and he's been attacked dozens of times at their church in bethlehem. rachel: i've been there too and if they don't put up decorations and they're putting out this message like had there's no christmas and sharing who they are. pete: it's one of those cut off your nose despite your face circumstances and they might be saying no, we're -- we don't care about that anymore because the cause is bigger than that and that would be them just showing exactly who they are in bethlehem and how complete the transformation has been. you can't go to nazareth. a lot of sites that are firsthand for christians are not places where christians and jews can go to. take the tomb of the pate i can't recollects, abraham where he was -- patriarchs and the tomb, you have to take a train to get there. it gives you a sense of where is bethlehem and it's not surprising. rachel: my daughter's name is lucia and that means light of bethlehem. i'm going to carry bethlehem in my heart. pete: as we should. will: this next story is absolutely outrageous and the california home owner and he's a guy from the bronx originally and he's attacked at his home and see right there and he returns fire. by the way, the guy that attacked him aren't. they came up. surprised him from behind. he returns fire and have a bit of a shootout. now he's been stripped of his gun permit in the state of california. his name is vince reachy and he was on the ingram angle last night. >> i never really thought i was going to have to use it and i about it the right way and applied the right way and they granted me the right to carry and stripping me with the men at large looking for me and not giving me the chance to defend myself. rachel: he went through the process of getting this gun and apparently is a pretty big process through their concealed carry in la, it's a big process. this man did, this husband, this father did exactly what every mom and wife would want their husband to do in this situation and now he's the bad guy getting his gun permit revoked. will: he did what the law asked him to do. what's the point in the concealed carry permit but in this situation and this exact set of circumstances. he's on his own property. pete: i'm glad we're showing this extended video portion. there's a gun in the back, spills coffee on the guy. rachel: throws coffee on him and has the sense to draw kick enough. pete: fires, then ultimately he didn't pursue to kill, can't sit there and go i hope they don't come back. he's bold enough to say i'm going to defend my property and my family. will: and my life. i've got a gun pointed at me. pete: not to mention my life and he's the bad guy who gets stripped of his permit you mention the law how the law should be on his side. is it really? la? i don't think it is. will: this is what i'm getting at. it's a constitutional case. here's why, okay. this is the exact reason for a concealed carry permit. if you are suggesting now the implementation of the use of the permit is wrong in some way, then you're essentially saying -- the permit is a falsehood. will: exactly. it's not real. pete: the left doesn't want a permit, will. choosing not to enforce it. will: rachel knows i'm not that smart this morning and language is escaping me, but it's like an ex post facto, a ban on a concealed carry. pete: exactly what it is. will: that's what it is should that go to the supreme court? i think, i mean -- rachel: it should. take the legal part out and it's obviously really important. i hope this goes to supreme court. think about every la resident that sees that. thank god he had that gun and had a concealed carry on him. think about that and what neighbors are thinking and thank god it's on video and changes people's views and in a liberal city like la and it's a nightmare. pete: i agree and thank god he had a gun to defend his family. that's exact opposite of liberals that look and say this is how they'd explain it. he escalated the situation and should have just given up, given up his property. the guy with the gun. rachel: really think liberals think that way? pete: yes. will: the opposite mindset and other scenario played scout he was killed by that guy, he'd be a blip on the headline on fox news or nothing, zero reporting except for maybe a video on twitter. they don't even see the other side of that. i don't know if they'll see that either. pete: a neighborhood that escalated a situation that would have been stealing of his wallet. that's how the left looks at it oftentimes. will: they don't decide that narrative. rachel: we're joined at 9:30 eastern and you'll want to -- 9:40 eastern and this is the first time his wife has spoken out. my heart was -- i was looking at that and thinking that man, got bless him, that's why you get married. that's why you get married to have somebody do that for you. will: throwing the coffee on the guy was a big move. rachel: he had tea and throw it in his face. pete: is that something he thought through? will: made the guy coil back enough to get to his weapon. look at massive cracks ripping through communities himself and look like ghost towns and thousands evacuated the area and catastrophic volcanic eruption any minute. the country reported about 2,000 mini earthquakes in the last 24 hours a loath loan. pete: 2,000? that's constant ground shake. will: auto union workers filing an end after ford and stellantis voted to ratify a new deal and uaw has yet to release official results and workers receive a 25% wage increase. once officially announced, new deals end a six month strike by workers for nation's big three auto makers. will: spigots x sending star ship into low earth orbit and funding approval for the faa this week for today's launch from south texas it cops nearly seven months after the first test flight ended in an explosion. since then, elon musk's company made dozens of improvements to the booster at star ship's 33 engines. remember when everybody mocked him because it exploded? here's the successful launch. pete: to your point, will, they mocked him when it exploded and successful launch barely gets covered. will: launching into space. pete: no big deal. coming up, 62 attacks on u.s. military forces in the middle east in just over a month. as for biden's president seizure disorders, at least 150 in total. general jack keane on why biden is failing to protect our bravest. rachel: plus, be sure to tune into one nation with brian kilmeade at 9:00 p.m. eastern and it's a full slate of guests you do not want to miss. as brian says, stay within yourself. more "fox & friends," next. ♪ when migraine strikes are the tradeoffs of treating worth it?

>> what the iranians are about here is the same thing they started in the early 1980s and that is to drive the united states hill tear presence out of the region. they believe they need that to achieve their strategic objective, which is domination and control of the middle east region. the other octoberive is that the iranian proxies are attempting to weaken israel, to isolate it politically as you see and you get widespread condemnation and that's apart of the octoberive they want for hamas and the other factor is driving us out of the region and have people in the united states question why are troops even there in iraq and syria? why are they being exposed to these proxies and i thought we solved that with isis a number of years ago and they're taking place and this is all linked and the administration is trying to keep it separate and what should they do to recognize for them in the only way they'll stop the attacks away from them and it'll start with the change in other words iranian proxies are trained in the irgcg training center in iran. in fact hamas is there and some 500 of them for the rehearsals on october the 7 and recognizing that is valuing them and continuing these attacks and we're going to put the irgc at risk. the training center and headquarters and we've got two presidents that have recognized us and you're trying to stop iranians and one was ronald reagan who learned from the early 80s experience with wycoff they bombed our barracks and i don't want to re-litigate whether we should or shouldn't have been there and then he went after them in the mid 80s because they're taking us on as we consider trying to protect and escorting attackers out of the persian gulf. he went after the oil platforms and irgc navy bases and guess what, shut them down. second president came along and president trump also learned from experience what was really going on here and from iran into the region and they went after us sizably and took down the leader of the irgc force and kansas city chiefs sam solomonny and they knew they'd value them in terms of proxies and if they lose weapons and missiles and if they lose people, they understood wantly don't care that much. pete: that's a fantastic break down and they don't want to escalate and cause a larger war, which a lot agree with and not a lot matters they're lending yourself with more attacks that creates the environment that could escalate with a tight balance and general jack keane, thank you for breaking it down this morning. yet another win for trump and gag order lifted new york civil fraud and could biden get off scott free in his chance of document scandal. gregg jarrett unpacks it all and he's here live with a fantastic new book. ♪ my a1c was up here; now, it's down with rybelsus®. his a1c?

>> most gag orders are unconstitutional and judges do it because they think they're u you know, gods and can decide and rule in order on anything in this particular case. it was blatantly unconstitutional prior to restrained in a free speech and violation of the first amendment and trump has elevated right and he's the odds on nominee for the republican party. we have a ways to go so we don't really know. the constitution doesn't just protect the speaker, it protects the listeners as well. things they want to hear, they need to hear, they should hear. and in this particular case, you've got learfi lear letitia s convicting trump in the court of public appearance and there's no jury her being tainted, it's a bench trial and the judge consistently has been wrong. pete: that's a good point. it's a bench trial. >> who are you harming here?
