I know you dont believe it [laughter] pete will and rachel are arguing again. [laughter] rachel no, were not. Pete shes taking credit for something well talk about later. Imaive degraw, soldier. I didnt know he had a song called soldier. Im going to have to check it out. Beautiful sunset sunrise, excuse me. Rachel wheres that at . Pete south carolina. That looks like south carolina, doesnt it . Oh, there the he is. Hes going out on the dock. Has no idea that rachel hes on fox friends. Pete lets hope he keeps it rachel doesnt take his clothes off. [laughter] pete keep it pg, buddy. Rachel oh, boy. Pete welcome to fox friends. 7 00 eastern time hour. Its also eastern time in texas, i guess thats true. Rachel are you thinking about rome . Pete i do think about rome, what it would have been like, you know . The roman soldiers that were there at the crucifixion. Its all very they were there at so many confluences. Rachel yeah. Do you think about rome . Will not as a often as this meme would suggest, but theres i think about history a lot. I think about the 1800s america a lot. But people think about rome for obvious reasons, decay of an empire, do you move towards an authoritarian state, which rome did, and i think as you point out its ties to early christianity. Pete yep. Will yeah, so theres a lot of reasons you would come back to rome. Rachel yeah. A lot of people saying its associated also with sort of, like, manhood and masculinity which is obviously under attack. I think its a really interesting thing thats happening, you know . Trend, if you will. Itd be interesting to see if men two generations ago thought about rome as much as men today. Pete they also gave us the numerals, which are the super bowl. Will correct. [laughter] rachel not what i was thinking. Will if i said to you what historical period do you reference and come back to the most, would the answer be rome . Pete yes. Because i would probably think of early christianity. Rachel i amro mono roman catholic, my Favorite Movie is gladiator, and my kids go to classical will a lot of people think about the civil war, i think about 1800 rachel i love that too. Will what about you guys . Friends foxnews. Com. Pete friends foxnews. Com. Good, a couple years in, youre nailing it. [laughter] rachel im always getting that site wrong. Pete i think a lot of people think about the late 1700s, the revolutionary period too, right . Rachel what does Vivek Ramaswamy say, i dont want reform, i want a revolution. Will friends foxnews. Com, how often do you think about the roman empire. Of. Pete all right. So this poll caught our eye, and its going to get a lot of attention, and its going to rattle a lot of cages because its from the Washington Post, Washington Post abc. Look at that number. Theres two reasons rachel wow. Pete first of all, thats trump above water at 52 . Rachel yes. Pete thats a huge number. Thats a 10point lead if the election were held today, who would you vote for. 52 , trump. 42 , joe. Thats after the indictments, thats after the first debate. That is a huge number, and thats going to a lot of people, thats going to be splashed across the pages of the Washington Post this morning with a lot of people saying, is it time for joe to go. Rachel right. Will the Downhill Effect of that, i see that poll and i think, you know, youre going to hear a rot about that poll from president trump. A lot about that poll from president trump. Pete for sure. Will but the downstream dominos, as you point out, as to what that can mean on the other side and whether its time to move on from joe biden. Rachel there are polls about that as well, will. One poll is saying this is about whether, and its a demleaning poll, by the way, only 33 of people say they would nominate joe biden. 62 would nominate 62 would nominate someone else, and 5 pete wow. So this is inside that a same poll amongst leaning democrats. This is not an overall poll, this is democrat, thats whats so stagger ago about this. Rachel thats going to make the biden people and the obama people behind the campaign nervous. But then people like gavin newsom, Kamala Harris and even rfk jr. Has got to look at that poll and go, maybe theres some hope here. Pete i dont think theres any hope for Rfk Jr Rachel theres a lot of powerful forces against him. Will senator ted cruz has offered up yet another name. Heres the scenario that i think is perhaps most likely and most dangerous. In august of 2024, the democrat Kingmakers Jettison joe biden and parachute in Michelle Obama. I view this as a very serious danger. So Michelle Obama, number one, you dont infuriate africanamerican women which is a critical part of the constituency that democrats are relying on to win. Rachel this could have, by the way, what we were joking about at the top of the hour is ive been saying Michelle Obama for a long time pete should have cited you. Rachel he should have cited me. [laughter] will when we came into this hour, i was asking rachel, do you think this should be foot noted as first suggested by Rachel Campos if duffy . Rachel only because when i said i predicted this could happen, i was called crazy for it by a lot of publications on the left, crazy rachel saying that, you know, Michelle Obama could be, you know, pair parachuted in. Look, the Democratic Convention is in chicago. And who knows, could have been always a backup plan for them, you know . Because, obviously, joe bidens mental capacity has been in question since he ran the the last time. So that could have been in. And i think that ted cruz makes a great point that it was always dangerous to assume that, you know, you couldnt put a black woman in. You cant just brush aside Kamala Harris who they know would probably not do well in a general election and go to gavin newsom who many people like. You just cant, you cant do that in a party that is built on Identity Politics and on the black womens vote. Pete he made a great point because he made your point. Thats why it was great. Right . Rachel thats so nice of you. Pete thats what a i mean. Rachel i dont have a harvard degree like you or ted cruz, but i called that one. Pete you always plan for the most likely enemy course of action or the most dangerous. Rachel interesting. Pete if when those two line are up, then youre up against something you really may not be able to defeat. And if they went to the convention, jettisoned joe, the delegates would have to go to Michelle Obama. Rachel they would. Pete thats one of those nuclear options. Rachel and, will, do you think that would be, if its a trump Michelle Obama race, what would happen . Will i dont know. I hadnt considered that matchup, the way it would shake out in the polls. Im not convinced that it has to be Michelle Obama. I think Gavin Newsoms going to have something to say about that, and im going to give you an example of why that might be the case. Here is what gavin newsom had to say this week when it comes to the controversial bill which required parents to affirm their childrens Gender Choices or potentially lose Custody Battles for pete it passed the legislature in california, went to his desk. Will and he vetoed that bill in california. Heres what he said. He said, i urge caution when the executive and legislative the branches of State Government attempt to dick the tate in printed terms dictate in that single out one characteristic for the Judicial Branch to apply. California and other states could very well use this strategy to toty inish diminish the the civil rights of a lot of communities. Rachel that was a lot of gobbledygook. Will with will it was. It pivots back to the center. This is also an issue that is so far left, its falling off the Edge Of Sanity that he simply didnt indulge a fully insane piece of legislation. Pete yes. Rachel but he also didnt say it with clarity, which was interesting. So he clearly wants to keep those people pete he cant say it with clarity. He cant insult the progressive part of his base, so he made up some im saving you from the republicans by vetoing this crazy bill. [laughter] is so he found his own rationale. But ill take a small win in california where i can get one with. Rachel yeah. I will still say, or hes very superficial, ive said this before. He looks the most president ial. Sadly, those kinds of things can make a difference, and he listen are, he went in, he had that interview with sean hannity, hes done all kinds of things to say im willing, im here, im ready. If you want me. Pete raising his hand. Rachel and he looks fine. Ill say that again and again. He looks good. Look at that, he looks like a president. Will i mean, youve said that rachel im sorry, he looks good. But look at his state. Thats not enough. Pete heres a reminder, we had a couple of california parents on our show on September 10th talking about this bill that gavin newsom just vetoed. Listen. This is a steady assault on family and children that weve been seeing this legislative session and throughout the past couple of years in california. All of these assembly people, they dont even know what theyre talking about. They dont even have children. You know, how child transition apparently has a Success Story with that,s they do not get to legislate their unique personal experiences to the rest of the masses. There are over 9 million children in the state of california. What it says is that every single one of them whos going through a divorce, whose parents are fighting over them, whose entire world is crumbling, their entire identity is crumbling, that we as a parents have to affirm that confusion. When you introduce this, its going to make it even more complicated to where we really dont know what this means in the end or, you know . A parent, ultimately, will have to affirm whatever their child says and wants in this regard or else risk losing custody. And thats a horrible decision for a parent to be in, especially in the middle of a custody dispute. Will political or not, good that Gavin Newsomsome vetoed pete yeah. He probably doesnt agree with anything those parents just said, but hes got a political antenna and knew this was crazy. Rachel he might not even agree with the crazy ideology saying im going to take your kids away, he might knot. And thats the point. Gavin newsom will be whatever he needs to be to become president. Will ewell check out this, the cover of the New York Post, its titled hot mess. Jon levine . Pete do you pronounce it hot or haut . Will i really wish youd have done it instead of me. [laughter] pete i would have said hottie mess. [laughter] will jon levine dressed up essentially like John Fetterman rachel except he looks better. Will and then he went to fine restaurants in new york to see if he could get in, and they videoed him. Watch. [inaudible conversations] we dont allow shorts. So theres no possible way i can eat inside at small no way of getting around the dress code . Do you have a dress code . Yes. Would my sweatshirt be okay many. No. Nothing im wearing is okay . Yeah [inaudible] you wont let people wearing shorts in . Theres a United States senator that yes, sirs like this. Yes, he would not be pert here. He would not be permitted here . You know who im talking about . No, i dont, but weve with turned away guests regardless of their occupation. Pete well, theres a reason the New York Post is in the print business. The audio wasnt great on that. [laughter] but the point was well made. You cant get into a haughty new york city restaurant, but you can preside over the senate. Rachel one time government was shut down and sean was in d. C. , and he decided to grow out a beard. And i turned on the tv if wisconsin, i saw him on with sandra smith, and i literally was, like, he looks is so bad. He looks so, so bad. I called him up after and im like, honey, that doesnt look great. Youve got to shave the beard. I know the governments shut down, i know youre tire of being in d. C. , but pull it together. And, again, im sorry, i go back to Gisele Fetterman, his wife, where the heck is she . Her husband doesnt have enough dignity to dress properly, why doesnt she have enough dignity for her own husband to say, hey, step it up here. Youre a senator now. You are the senator of pennsylvania. Im sorry. I lay the blame on both. I have a podcast, by the way, on the cruelty of Gisele Fetterman and jill biden. I lay out the case for why i think these women have a role to play in whats happening with their husbands. So thats my political spouse a vice. Pete i bet gavin newsom would look good with a beard. Rachel no, i think that look looks good on him. He knows what looks good on him. [laughter] pete and we know what actually looks dignified. Will you think the wall street, sweptback hair . Rachel im saying thats a good look for him. Will im serious, by the way, the slickedback style, wall street style, im not sure how that plays in middle america. Rachel they are the party of wall street and business and corporate america. Rul. Will all right.
