We i faced my own fears will no, you didnt. Rachel well [laughter] i dont know if you saw that, pete, but the Chicken Coop arrived after a year of my husband and my kids begging for chickens. We diseased to get a coop decided to get a coop that would allow me to never have to deal with them, and so we got one from carolina coop, and they had it right out here. And i know you were asking me about that coop last week, so you missed it, but you get to come to the house and check it out and see if you can get one on the hegseth farm. Pete will, i didnt have to the see it, i didnt see it, but if there were chickens anywhere nearby her, shes thrown into complete Panic Mode immediately, i know. Will thats exactly right. Pete you know who didnt . Segway wise, remember on July 13th that crowd did not supply fly into Panic Mode even though Donald Trump was theory assassinated. And here we are in this line, will, im hearing estimates between 600100,000 people 60100,000, and if it were that am, it would not surprise me because you said11 p. M. , it was actually 11 a. M. Yesterday, and the line doesnt stop. This things snaking behind me. Say hello [cheers and applause] rachel unbelievable. Pete the doors havent even opened yet, and the feeling is absolutely electric. They felt like god was here on July 13th sparing Donald Trump by a miracle. Every third person i talk to here was here on july13th. My other assignment, will, im now tracking california, idaho, Arizona And K the as some of the places where people have traveled from for this rally in butler, pennsylvania. And, maam, you were here on July 13th as well. Whats it like to be back . How symbolic is it for you . Its very emotional, and i am full of joy that i get to be a part of this. Its history. Its absolute history. And Donald Trump is going to win. Pete you were really close to him that way. That day. I was three rows back from the front of the podium. I was right behind the brick man, and it wasser the fewing it was terrifying, but everybody remained calm. And i just think that that shows what kind of people are here to remain calm, because they just knew what a they were here for. They were here for Donald Trump. Pete hey, thank you very much for for your time. Were glad youre back, and if were honored here at fox and if friends to be back here note being a historic event where, you know, Donald Trump doesnt turn his head, hes not here. Its a whole different country, its a whole different race. Everything changes. Thankfully, his life was spared and thousand here hes back i can see the flag, guys, we cant show you the stage because the Sun Sun is coming from that direction, but it looks nearly the exact same. They meant to the replicate it including some of the people you saw behind him on the podium will be in their statement spot, and you heard from the doctor who tried to perform cpr on Corey Comperatore, his entire family will be here, a lot of luminary ifs. Theres just a lot of Love And Appreciation that here we are a month after the election, Donald Trumps still running, they couldnt stop him, and the crowd has his back this morning in butler, pennsylvania. [cheers and applause] rachel hey, pete, im curious, is the crowd it looks from what i can see is that the crowd will be even bigger than it was on that day in july, that fateful day. I mean, youre in a field. Is there any limit to how many people can show up . What are the number estimations, what are you thinking . [laughter] pete thats a good question. I dont know if theres a limit to the amount of people that could be in the field per se. I think the belief is that it can spill over as big and as wide as they want, and well have to to ask Salina Zito whos going to be can joining us what she knows. Again, ive heard up to potentially 100,000 people. This has become a destination event. There are Trump Rallies and then there are mass if i, huge Trump Rallies massive, huge Trump Rallies. [applause] this is part of the crowd that was here overnight. This is just the group overnight. As i look out its an endless sea of people, and the cars are still coming as well. This is pennsylvania, guys, this is a key state. And what are people doing here . Walking the crowd with have you registered the vote, are you registered to vote, so this is a get out the Vote Turnout Effort too not just the a rally. Will well, you did have an incredible interview with dr. Jim sweetland who worked on Corey Comperatore that day in july. Hes there, Coreys Family is there, reports Elon Musk will be there later today. And karoline leavitt, trumps 2024 national press secretary, was on Fox Friends saying this will be some of the message you hear today in butler, pennsylvania. President trump is going back to butler to honor the lives of the victims who were lost are, who were injured, to be with their families and the really just show the strength of these families who lost their loved one, the family of corey, namely, and The Other TwoGentleman Men gentlemen on that day who were injured. I saw the lines behind pete, the fact that pennsylvanians are showing up at a place where President Trump came within millimeters of losing his life shows the resiliency, the strength, the determination of the american people. And he will be there tonight with a message of unity, a message of strength talking about how were going to save this great country. And, again, it was just two months ago where he took a bullet for democracy. Rachel yeah, no question about it. I mean, im just looking at the size of that crowd. Pete, they came Last Night, Poem Lining up yesterday, and Donald Trumps not expected to speak until around 5 p. M. Tonight. Its only 9 00 in the east coast. Im just, im really kind of bowled over by the size of this crowd already. Pete oh, its amazing. And it was cold Last Night too. We walked up, there were people wrapped in Sleeping Bags and folding chairs along The Street just to be to be at the front of the line to get an opportunity to to get in and be at the front of the stage to view history. Think about it, yes, our media has tried to wormhole this Event And Pretend like it didnt happen, but less than three months ago the leading candidate for the republicans and a former president was nearly assassinated, saved only by the turn of a head and a miracle. And this, if youre a Support Per of his or an american, you recognize how significant that event was because the secret Service Director who was forced to resign, you know, another threat on his life. So these people take that very seriously. They dont take it for granted. Sir, youve been here for a while, latinos for trump. Why do you support trump . Because hes going to be the greatest president to be. Listen, because of the future of our children, because of the future of latinos and and what hes going to do to make the change for our borders, for our children, for school, everything. Trump is the man. If you aint going to trump, im sorry to the tell you, youre going the wrong way. [laughter] [cheers and applause] Pete Anybody hey, whos here on July 13th . July 13th . Maam . All of you . Again, i didnt stage this. You walk the line, theres people everywhere who were here on July 13th. Maam, how does it feel to be back . Im excited. Im so excited. This is such a. Monumental moment. I Cant Wait to see President Trump. I was right behind the stage when it happened. It was scary, but we were troopers, we all stuck together, all the Trump Supports stuck together and, you know, and here we are. Theres at lot of return people here, and im happy to be here. Im excited. This is great. Im so excited to be with my people [laughter] so, yeah, were good. Pete lots of people here. [cheers and applause] hi, guys. Ive been to the lot of Trump Rallies. Theres Trump Rallies and and then theres this one. Well continue to monitor the crowd, but its big. Will is that out of curiosity, pete, was that the Agr Building to your right in i know theres a lot of buildings around the fairgrounds there. Is that the Agr Building . Pete no. The Agr Building is on the other side. But, again, were not tar from the stage at all far from the stage at all. You start to realize all the buildings adjacent to the stage should have security and should be covered. Will right. Pete clearly, they will today. The Agr Buildings on the other side. And it was, its burned in your brain, seeing the approximate if similarity is incredible. Rachel i get the feeling from The Way youre describing how easily viewable the dangers would have been that you, me and will could have probably set up a better perimeter and protection for the for the president than the Secret Service did that day. I tell you, i just love that youre there, pete. I love that were getting the feel from the ground. As you said, you Cant Stage that. And what im saying seeing Belies Everything what the media says about trump supporters. I see love, i see a multicultural alliance of americans standing for all the right issues. I mean, its just incredible. Will would you also, pete, thank your cameraman for us for Zooming Out so that that we can see the crowd past your Mullet Duck Tail pompadour . Its been difficult do at times, but ive managed to see past your hair on a few occasions. Rachel yeah, we have. Pete its nothing but lo. Nothing but love. This is in the field, we let it frommic [laughter] frolic. Rachel love for the mullet, i guess. Pete let it flow. How we doing . Whats it like why you here today .

Carmen. Pete is in your first rally in. Yeah. Rachel oh, shes so cute. Pete well done, dad. Thank you, maam. Some cuties this in here, love it. Will well check in in a minute. Rachel thanks for ending with so much cuteness with that little girl. Finish. Will thank you, pete. Today Vice President harris will survey Hurricane Damage in North Carolina after former President Trump toured damage yesterday. Rachel the tomorrow claiming at least 232 lives across 7 states. Fox weathers Brandy Campbell is live in asheville, North Carolina. Brandy, good morning. Reporter good morning, guys. So were bringing you just yet another image, live image, of the destruction we are seeing here. So directly behind me you can see some of the work thats being done the start that recovery process. You have propane cars, train cars, that are tippedded over on their side and other Propane Tanks that are in the area tossed around, and theyre trying to empty them, currently burning off the fuel. That could take a couple of days. But surrounding this is just a lot of destruction from the if water. So right now were standing just above the swan noaa river, one of the main reasons we are seeing such devastation here. This River Rose up to 26. 1 feet last friday, so now you can see debris in the trees, there are cars in the river, there could be hazards in terms of the water quality, Thats Something theyre working with the epa to to test. But as we continue to the pan right, you can see how this community has been devastated. Theres some work already happening, but as you Take A Look Around a, you can see there is a lot are to do. Some of these buildings are completely crumbled to the ground ground. You are just seeing cinderblocks at this time. Unfortunately, it has been a deadly storm. Right now at least 232 people have been killed across the southeast, the most fatalities happening in this country, buckham county, with at least 72 people dead, and that number could go up. The good news is there are the good news stories, the stories of survival. We met one man, he was rescued from his roof with his family by two men on kayaks. This was his message to his rescuers. You know, theres not enough thanks and graciousness in the world that i could hope to bestow upon them. We owe our lives to to, my familys lives and a lot of other familys lives to those two gentlemen or that were able to get a kayak down to us. I mean, that was a Saving Grace for us. Reporter all right are. So they stepped out of their homes to do some Life Saving Missions before first responders could get to those folks. Thankfully, they were be there. But for now were hearing from officials who say they just have to rebuild infrastructure to get Water And Power back on for over 100,000 people in buckham county. But, again, i want to leaf you here with leave you here with this image behind me. We met one owner of a business whos picking up what they can. Its a very emotional moment for them, something thats hard for them to the even talk about at this time. And this, you know, the question is what will they do moving forward. Theyre building completely their building completely gone here in asheville. Guys . Will its going to be a long road forward, brandy. Thank you so much. And were still in, honestly, Search And Rescue phase. Thats still where we are. Rachel yeah. Will a lot of people pointing out, i mean, the main thing youre hearing is number of people who say i havent seen fema, i havent seen the federal government. But a lot of really good people who weve gotten to know, who i think many of you watching have gotten to know, a lot of veterans, a lot of special force, a lot of charity, a lot of churches step into the breach as they all always do. We spoke with Congressman Corey mills, theyre Frying Helicopters the flying helicopters in and getting to people. This is this is completely privately funded, these are private citizens that are helping out, and its a shock, its a shock to me, will, because i spent my whole life rescuing american citizens overseas in combat. And if we had minute if be
