How will i know if he really loves me. I say a prayer with every heartbeat. A live shot of barnumtown, North Carolina with Whitney Houston on Sunday Morning with fox and friends. Good morning, welcome to the fourth hour. Glad to have you with us. Good morning. Rachel fourth hour. Ready to go, fired up. Rachel coming in Whitney Houston, havent heard that song in a while. I love it. Hahas your poll come in yet. It continues. They put it to you, which one of them is the a agitator. According to wills highly curated twitter, rachel is the problem. Rachel im the problem go she hasnt done enough research. Rachel he was wear more into i couldnt help it. It was overwhelming. People used terms like knit picker, burr under the seattle. My wife does the same thing. Rachel it says here theyre giving you a pass because they say youre just exhausted from all youre doing in what which. Rachel people say. Lot of people are saying. A lot of them. Its a goto. Its really good. We are, the three of us, happy to be together and happy youre with us as well. Speaking of that im personation, lets impersonation, lets share a poll that will be something that pleases donald trump. This is a Washington Post abc poll. It shows a theoretical hypothetical matchup between donald trump and joe biden in a general election. This is the biggest numbers weve seen to date. Most hypothetical matchups, whether they be trump and desantis against p joe biden are in the 1 or 2 range. This one shows a 10 point spread. Thats going to rattle a lot of cages. Rachel absolutely. Thats way outside the margin of error which is only 4 . This is Washington Post, abc, which usually oversamples democrats anyway. Who knows. A 10 point lead over water, over 50 for trump which neither of them usually get in a poll. This is if its a one to one matchup. That 42 number is going to that poll is going to be forwarded ona lot of people, it probably is right now inside the beltway, saying is joe the right guy. Rachel just think about that. This is after four indictments, a mug shot, i mean, negative press. He still gets if you could putnam better of positive put the number of positive articles on joe biden versus the number of positive articles written by donald trump, this is with every power lever against him from social media to the people running those companies to hollywood, i mean, its just everywhere and hes still coming out 10 points ahead. It is going to rattle cages and cause people on the democrat side, the Power Brokers if you will to go what do we do now . Is it time for him to exit or can we keep this guy through this. There was a poll asking democrats, the same poll from Washington Post, asked them if you would nominate biden for a second term. And only 33 of democrats said they would not name joe biden. 62 said someone else, 5 , no opinion. Yeah. The movement is on. In essence. And to what you insinuate, if thats what it like for joe biden, that could formalize the turning of the wheels to turn away from joe biden. Senator ted cruz on his podcast the verdict suggested this could be some place they turn, Michelle Obama. Heres the scenario that i think is perhaps most likely and most dangerous. In august of 2024, the democrat king Makers 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 listen, this is a scenario that i predicted could happen. I think that Michelle Obama is a possibility. I dont think it was their first choice. I think barack obama was telling the truth when he had that interview and he said i would like a third term where im behind the scenes, thats exactly what hes doing from his mansion in washington, d. C. There have been lots of reports about the number of aides from the Biden Administration coming over, back and forth to the mansion. And Michelle Obama would be donald trump was a disruption for the fundamental Transform Aation that barack obama originally wanted and i think that they hope they could sneak by with another joe biden term. If that looks like its not going to make it and that poll there is definitely an alarm bell, they will absolutely stick Michelle Obama in because she is wellknown, powerful figure. They have one true north at this point for 2024 and it is stop trump. Stop trump. And so even if Michelle Obama really believes in her heart and really doesnt want to run, every indication she has given over the years is i dont want anything to do with it. Rachel shes living her best life ever. If Power Brokers are saying it a those be a black female because were passing over kamala, you look at michelle who is popular among democrats, and you could conceive of the scenario. I wouldnt say its the most likely but its the most dangerous that joe hands it over to michelle at the convention with the delegates and they run with her. Rachel shell be powerful with suburban women voters so thats a really important consistent sit when sigh. Its definite constituency. Its definitely a card i think they could pull. Dont forget the democratic convention, in chicago, so well, we talked about the attire of senator John Fetterman of pennsylvania, hoodie, basketball shorts, oversize on the floor of the senate. So the New York Post sent a reporter out, john levine, to see if he could wear similar attire. Haute mess. Oh, its haute. Rachel i thought it was hot. Were told its haute. Its a hauty mess. Its silent. Rachel yeah. Apparently hautey is a different spelling. The point is rachel hes not a hottie. Hes a n hot mess. John levine is out to prove it. He went to a fine Dining Restaurant to see if he could wear what John Fetterman wears an get in. Watch. We dont allow shorts. Is there a dress code here . Theres no possible way are you open right now . Do you have a space for two. We dont allow shorts. Dress clothes . Would my sweatshirt be okay . No. So nothing im wearing is okay. Yeah, its athletic wear and shorts. You dont allow anyone with athletic wear and shorts in . Theres a United States senator that dresses like this. We would not let him in. He would not be permitted here. You know who im talking about, John Fetterman. Weve turned away, yes, if theyre not properly dressed. Rachel for the record, i said John Fetterman is not hautey, not john levine. He looks more put together than fetterman. If any of my kids came down the stairs and said im going to mass like this i would be like Get Back Upstairs and get dressed. It shows respect for where youre going, to gods house. In this case, youre going to the peoples house. This is what John Fetterman thinks of the people. Hes a slob. Hes a slob who got elected as a zombie in pennsylvania. Now hes a senator. Everyone knows its a joke. Knows it a joke. Democrat Party Looks Like a joke for putting him on the dais for the country. Rachel shame on his wife for not telling him to spiff it up if he doesnt have the judgment, in many cases maybe the mental state to know whats appropriate or not. Thats the job of him and also his wife. He figures out to shave everything on his head except for this. If you can do that, you can probably put on a tie. Rachel put on a tie and sure. Even just a shirt and pants. Put on some pants. So i say that a lot. Will you put on some pants. Rachel can you just put on some pants . Were curious how often you say this in your house. How often do you think about the roman empire, thats a thing. Thats a meme on the internet right now. Yeah. Heres an example. How often do you think about the roman empire . I dont know. At least twice a day. How often do you think about the roman empire . I thought about it yesterday. Like the roman empire, do you ever think about it . All the time. All the time . Yeah. Why. How often do you thiewj of f the roman empire . Not very often, couple times a year. Rachel some would say thats a lot. This is a wife or girlfriend approaching their other to ask how do they think about it. The answer is shocking to women, it appears. Rachel not to me. I have kids in classical education. They talk about the roman empire. They know a lot about the roman empire, probably more than i do. The number one place they want to visit is rome. Theyre learning latin. My Favorite Movie is gladiator. I get the and im roman catholic. Youre a special case. Rachel maybe im weird. How often do you think about the roman em l pier . I think empire. I think pretty regularly. Rachel explain to our viewers why. Such an apex of history, so much interesting history. So much to learn. They are in the Empire Power Pow rankings. These are the types of things we would love to rank and talk about. The prolific nature of the military, the fact they have governors ruling throughout but and then the biblical aspect, the way it intersects. And the decline. Rachel the decline, thats whats so interesting. How much of this obsession or rumination that men are having about it has to do with them thinking that were in decline. Absolutely. Well, yeah, looking for historical analogies. Rachel we learn so much from historying right. Here another reason is the history has been stripped out of schools and kids and so youre having to have an adult readies coverly of the roman em tire. I had to read the Rise And Fall Of The Roman Empire after i left school. Rachel after you left prince son. Nothing. Rachel nothing in pr princeto. Especially not today. Men want to know what men used to do. We asked you on our email how often do you think about the roman em l pier. Heres some of the answers. Bill emailed in, it collapsed, no one thought it would. We should Pay Attention here and now. There you go. Rachel thats such a great point. An e pail from stan, i think about the roman pi empire, it ws destroyed from within. I see parallels with our country. Rachel this is william, he says i would say that most people should go back to the depression, they need to see and feel how it was to have nothing. People today are too spoiled. Thats in answer to the question i asked both of you which is if you had one historical moment that you referenced or thought about the most, what would it be, roman empire, civil war, world war ii and stan who is that, stan. William. William says he goes back to the great depression. Mike says one of the last exercises before rome fell was when the emperor gave permission that they could wear togas everywhere. Compare that to today. Rachel think about how many times have we all had a story that came up on our show and then in the commercial break we look at each other and we go end of empire. [laughter] rachel weve actually said that on this couch so i mean, it is were going through some really weird times. We need to power rank the empires. Now i feel compelled to do that. That will be a will cain podcast. Rachel that would be a great podcast. I think so too. Done. Turning to your headlines. Two teens a accused of killing a former California Police chief were on a crime spree. They reportedly tried killing a second cyclist, stole three cars and committed burglar in two hours. They are facing murder, atempted murder and battery charges. As a Government Shutdown looms, House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy reversing course on funding for ukraine after saying it would get a separate vote. Some people had concerns about ukraine so i say lets put it out to vote by itself and it can go over there. Now, that was my idea. Were trying to work through it. Its not solving it. One of the other tests became too difficult to do that so well leave it in. Yesterday, House Republicans set up floor debate for four fiscal bills for this week but its not clear if theyll have the votes. Current Government Funding ends at the end of the month. College football, ohio state stunning notre dame, 1614 with a Clutch Touchdown as the clock hit zero. Give it to him, up the middle, hes in, touchdown ohio state they walk it off. Gut punchable loss for notre dame, this as oregon blew out colorado, 426 as Deion Sanders first loss as colorados head coach and texas long horns undefeated, 386 win domination over baylor. Thats a good going to s. E. C. Next year. Thats a parting gift. I see. They played like 100 times, 90 times, somewhere in that range. Thats a nice goodbye to give them. Rachel can we talk about rome again. I thought we did that one. Rachel i know. Youve been thinking about rome during the headlines. Or did football turn you off that much . Rachel yeah, it did. What. Rachel if you dont give me the class on football, im not going to get into it. Would you have been at the cthecoliseum saying this bores. Rachel i dont like that kind of violence. I always root for the bull. What about the chariot race. Rachel i do love glad yeah tore. Gladiator, maybe i would have been into it. Rac. Those are our gladiator. Thousands of runners taking to the streets in New York City for the annual tunnel to towers, 5 a k. Rachel lets check with joey jones who is live outside of the tuntunnel where the race is goig to kick off in half an hour. Its almost time. Theyre getting ready. Weve got a bunch of first responders, theres a whole group of french fire nmen who ce here every year, they wear their full gear and run the race. Its an International Event in that way. So many people saw what happened on 9 11 and were affected by it. Its one group of many who come here and celebrate, memorialize and show the organization and people affected how much they care. They are getting ready to run the race. I didnt see chariots but firemen in full gear, thats impressive, dont you think. Rachel yes. Those are my gladiators. So are you. You can help as we always like to remind you at this time of year by going to go. Fox t2t and if you make any donation, fox will be matching those donations to tunnels to towers. Were going to check back in with joey throughout the hour. Rachel absolutely. Well be there for the start of the race. A little rain and a hit piece from the Washington Post didnt stop thousands from attending Dave Portnoys pizza festival. Were here in the rain. We couldnt be happy p yesterday. Its been happier. Its been nothing but positive. They hate us because they hate us. Dave portnoy says the backlash was actually a blessing in disguise. He joins us next. Keep on whispering in my ear. Tell me all the things that i want to hear. Because its true. Thats what i like about you. Thats what i like about you. Thats what i like about you. When you want someone to respond, you kind of have to indicate that there might be something negative and then you get them to engage. Thats all i was trying to do. I wanted them to engage with me. That is a bad state of journalism if thats a tactic that you have to what i would say is make up something about somebody. That was Bar Stools Sports founder dave portnoy confronting a Washington Post reporter over negative coverage of his one bite pizza fest. Rachel that hit piece and the torrential rains did not stop thousands from attending the event in brooklyn yesterday. Dave portnoy joins us right now. Whats up, dave, good morning. Thanks for having me. Hows it going. Good. Looks like it went well yesterday. You had rain but looks like it went well. Couldnt have gone better. It was our woodstock moment with the rain. It was 5,000 strong. Everyone had a great time. The vibes were higher because of coucontroversy surrounding it. It went great. Rachel what do you make of food critics who try to discourage people from going to food festivals. What do you make of that. Its kind of crazy. At the festivals, i was talking to the pizza place, some of the people like t this Guy Ken Lopez who was obsessed with getting people not to partake, he was emailing pizza places the night before, getting their private information, saying its not too late to get out. It was pretty crazy. The thing about the hit pieces, what they tried to do whether its those or the Washington Post, if you can just have one sponsor to drop one pizza place to drop, which none of them did, i owe them a huge thank you, that becomes a huge story as well. Thats their goal. If you can get weakness by shaming them, trying to make them nervous, theyll write another article, look, dave portnoy lost a sponsor, lost a pizza place. Its crazy what you have to deal with. Did you expect that kind of admission from the reporter. You said im recording it and she went on and on and on. It really was revealing. You probably didnt expect her to go on for nine minutes. No, i didnt. I think i caught her clearly offguard and she is a Food Reporter. Like the New York Times has written a hit piece on me before, spent over a year researching it and i tried to reach out to the reporter, emily steele, i dont know, 10, 15 times. She hung up on me when i would call her because she didnt want to talk to me. At the end, she wa
