[the starspangled banner] [the starspangled banner] [the starspangled banner] [the starspangled banner] [the starspangled banner] [the starspangled banner] good Morning And Welcome to Fox And Friends, saturday, october 5, 2024. I happen to not be in studio with Will And Rachel because as you know, less than three months ago in butler, pennsylvania on July 13th Donald Trump was nearly assassinated and yet Stood Up afterwards immediately and yelled Fight Fight Fight, rallying of the faithful in that moment, he returns today to butler, pennsylvania in a rally in the same spot, looks almost identical from what we can see coming around the Vantage Point and im live here at the front of the line which began forming at 11 00 a. M. Yesterday so in few moments we will talk to folks that braved the chili weather. They are were ready to go to the rally. We had a chance to talk to a lot of the folks that were there, get their feelings about coming back and great to be here. Good morning. Rachel great to see youve been spending so much time in tennessee that 50 feels like 20. What a great thing for him to go back. I said thIs on the air, that was hIs braveheart moment the way he handled that. Of the way he rallied the nation with the words Fight Fight Fight and it looks like he Is going to get a Heros Welcome in butler, pennsylvania. Will we are broadcasting from our new studio in new York City where it Is bright as a Solar Flare in new york but we welcome you back to new york tomorrow. You bring up the Fight Fight Fight, you bring up the number of people standing behind pete and one of the parts of the story that Is overlooked Is the response of the Rally Goers that day who were so brave, so calm, so commendable. So when you hear the republican national Committee Cochair say thIs about the campaign you can say shes speaking as much about the people behind you as shes speaking about the candidate for president , lIsten to larra trump. In life i feel like you can operate in a place of Fear And Cowardice or you can operate out of a place of Strength And Faith and that Is who Donald Trump Is. I knew before he announced he wanted to go back to butler that thIs would be something he would want to do because hes trying to show leadership right now. ThIs Is a man who s not afraid of anything, he doesnt back away from a challenge and what you will see in butler, Pennsylvania Tomorrow Is a kind of Strength And Leadership we are desperate for and thIs Is going to be an emotional Rally Tomorrow and im looking forward to being there with erica. I think its going to be really incredible. Pete it might had to have different feel, might have about party fuel, the energy of the crowd. It will be interesting to to see thIs develop, to see how that field develops here as well. Lets take a moment, these folks have been braving the darkness and the cold and been waiting and the first individual in line, lets talk to some folks right now. How are we doing . [crowd chanting] [usa usa usa usa. Enthusiastic crowd. You want to be away . You are awake now. You are the first one in line. I came here yesterday at 11 00 am and have been waiting to attend thIs hIstoric rally. Reporter why did you want to be here so early to show your support as he returns to butler . ThIs Is my 30th Rally and why am i here . ThIs Is so hIstorical, second thing thIs Is the place where hes going to say something. I was about to say the last time, the reason i am here and want to support as much as i can, driving all over thIs country. Pete when did you get here . We drove from harrIsburg, pennsylvania. We been to multiple, we had to be here tonight. Pete you are wearing the shirt, the image, what Is it like to be back here . ThIs Is going to be the most epic, theres going to be a whole line of people here. Elon, everybody coming to support Donald Trump. A miracle happened here and everybody has to come and see it. Pete looses flavor of the folks here Is he retakes the stage and possibly says as i was saying, to continue hIs speech from last time. Rachel people realizing there was a miracle in butler, pennsylvania that day and coming back and i imagine they will also pay respects for those people who died, the man who died in that rally, the supporter and also injuries. Pete hIs entire family will be here and hIs wife, hIs daughters, they will all be here, yes. Will thIs Is what will be different from three months ago, the revamped security measures the Secret Service Is putting in place, Bulletproof Glass to protect Donald Trump as Is been used in every rally since that Assassination Attempt. ThIs Is the type of thing i read you would hope to have been in place the first time but will be in place thIs time. Perimeter secured early at increased Secret Service presents. One command post, one Communication Bridge and Law Enforcement will be on top of the Agr Building where the Wouldbe Assassin positioned himself. There will also be Hundreds Manpower increased by hundreds along with Surveillance Drones on site. Rachel they are getting a do over. How are you feeling about the security . What are you noticing since you are on the ground . Pete we drove around the fairground. As you heard from other people who have been here, its not very large and the dIstances are not very far. We drove right by the Agr Building, saw the very building where the shooter was and i am sure theres a presence there but it was basically one unmarked vehicle over watching that area. Its very early. We are told they were locking down the area overnight but its got a feeling of traffic Is going to be really bad. Security Is going to be really tight. You said it. Its a bit of a do over, Bulletproof Glass, its all very intimate. From where we are you see the flag draped, looks a lot like the rally from July 13th. Other Media Outlets outside of fox have not given what happened that day in butler thIs summer the kind of attention it deserves and we are looking forward to getting more reports from you on the ground throughout the hour. We are going to move to fox weather alert. Vice president Is'>Kamala HarrIs will survey Hurricane Damage in North Carolina after Donald Trump toured damage in Georgia Yesterday. The storm claiming 232 lives across 7 states. Reporter more than a week after the effects of Hurricane Helen Is a but you sort of the southeast Vice President Is'>Kamala HarrIs will vIsit North Carolina today after making a stop in Georgia Wednesday to survey the destruction. Or vIsit coming a day after Donald Trump was in North Carolina Friday Meeting with those affected by the storm. He also made a vIsit to Georgia Yesterday for a second time thIs week and when asked about how Storm Damage could impact voting in the battleground state, he said thIs. Im not thinking about voters right now im thinking about lives. To be honest its much bigger than anyThing Else but we are thinking about lives. A lot of lives lost. A lot of people mIssing. Thats what i would be focused on right now. These new Satellite Images show the extent of the Storm Destruction across the region where the Death Toll Is climbing above 230 people across 7 states, many residents feel the federal Isnt'>Government Isnt doing enough quickly enough to help. Havent seen female. Im just being patient and waiting. Ive heard rumors that they are around but havent seen anybody. We need help, we need somebody to start rolling in. The federal government facing criticIsm after it was a real fema spent 1. 4 billion allocated to two programs to assIst the migrants in 202324, President Biden saying he has to ask congress for more money to cover Hurricane Damage. President biden we have to deal with unforeseen cost of what thIs hurricane Is going to cost. Is going to cost a lot of money and im going to have to ask congress before we leave for more money to deal with those problems. That remains to be seen. Reporter President Biden vIsited the carolinas earlier thIs week. Will with little Government Help in sight. Military veterans as Is often the case are taking matters into their own hands, rushing in to help with Search And Rescue in parts of North Carolina. Rachel retard Green Beret says lawlessness Is on the rIse and warrants that hardhit places like asheville are becoming like the wild west. Pete Is teaming up with nonprofits there to help. Thanks so much for being with us. Lets talk first about what you know, you are so connected to thIs area. Your family goes back to hundred years. What are you hearing about the State Of Affairs in North Carolina . It Is a lot of what you heard on the last report which Is a lot of people feel like they havent seen the Government Presence at all. I talked to folks, she Is saying they havent seen any sign of fema, any troops, the other thing, my dad was an incident commander, ive been talking anonymous, there are people on the ground doing heroic things from the park service, the Forest Service but its a massive problem, we are talking about levels of devastation that will exceed katrina by the time it Is done. You see a lot of neighbors, a lot of veterans rushing into the parade to help but also a growing degree of Lawlessness And Violence thats very concerning to locals. Rachel it would be one thing if the Government Wasnt there but we werent paying for thIs money for the government to be there. That the frustration. I dont know if you recall what happened during katrina. Are you able to give a comparIson how quickly things got in motion in terms of Rescue And Help in katrina versus what you are seeing in North Carolina . What i can say Is talking to folks on the ground, i am talking to special ops veterans, but also relatives and local Community Leaders and they are saying the gap in response time particularly outside the immediate structural Law Stones has been massive. Pastor glenda said were it not for the efforts of neighbors and a lot of veterans and volunteers who came in with their own helicopters a lot of them wouldnt be there. They certainly wouldnt have Food Or Water and these are people still without water, still without food, without oxygen and there Is no way off these mountains so you are talking, we are looking at possibly months here so the response time has been really slow and thIs Is something ive heard consIstently across the board and when we do circle around for accountability its going to have to be looked at from Department Homeland Security all the way down because thIs affects potential terror strikes on multiple cities. Imagine thIs across ten cities. Pete what your organization doing and what are you hearing on the ground as far as Interaction Tween vets, private citizens who are tempting to help in the government . A lot of people are hearing conflicting reports of aid Is being prevented from going or fema Is consolidating it, private helicopters being dIscouraged from operating, what Is your sense of how much latitude civilians are being given to assIst given that the government has been so insufficient . We Stood Up Task Force Pineapple to flatten, as wherever we can working
