[shouting] >> [bleep] pete: portland police say rioters are intentionally being violent. 1000 protesters hitting streets. police deploying tear gas and pepper balls after the protests turn into riots when fireworks were shot at officers. jedediah: the city seeing unrest as state attorney general let teshal they're that james as she is forming a grand jury to investigate dan you'll prude's death. she is willing to move against criminal charges against three sisters in the case. they have not interviewed them. they have not been made available. as we look at the footage. horrifying images in portland. 100 days we're at in portland that is a pretty astounding number. now looking at rochester. this seems to add city after city at this point, pete. i don't knee where the end is, if there is an end in sight but local officials must deal with this. this should be a local issue. senator rand paul actually weighed in on this. it is important to listen what he is saying. he is talking about the lack of leadership and what supposed leadership looks like in the regions where we're seeing violence. >> all they do get on tv. there is violence. we don't like violence but it is all donald trump's fault. the cities violence has been occurring in are run by democrats for 50 years. law and order is largely the province of mayors and governors. not the congress or presidents. the failure is coming from these cities. they need to own up to it, frankly i think a lot of people are not going to be happening living in a country that looks like portland. pete: there is reckoning coming for leadership of mayors and governors. eventually i don't know this cycle, new york city has in the past gone to law and order. jed, you made the point, when do 100 days and when does it stop. i thought yesterday was 100 days. it blurs. maybe the election on november 3rd, that plays into a great degree. will we were talking before the show, i don't know if we have video of a rochester restaurant patrons who were there. ultimately scarier part. molotov cocktails that is beyond the pale, arson, all those things. police are not empowered but they should be. more subtle stuff, soft stuff, where people are out at a restaurant trying to eat, and intimidated whether they are physically confronted or not. they're being told, the civility you thought was here to have a dinner with your family, you're out, pledge allegiance to black lives matter or you're out. that is under current that is insid just. all blurs together. referencing number of days. interesting to put portland side by side with rochester. sliding scale with kenosha somewhere in between. it starts the way it appears in rochester. it starts with intimidation. it escalates, what we've seen in kenosha, until you arrive at the place you are in portland with 100 straight days not protests and riots. out and out violence. fascinating to hear many in the media talking about the protests 93% peaceful. would you like your doctor, your going to see to treat you for cancer to tell you are 93% cancer free? 93% leaves 7% riot and protests. it is metastasizing into city after city. let me give you what a judge has said in detroit. after police there have cracked down on riots, a detroit judge has prohibited the police from using any of these tactics when it comes to peaceful protests including striking weapons, including batons and shields, chemical agents, tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, sound canyons. tightening zip ties to the point they cause physical injury. arresting demonstrators en masse without probable cause. nobody wants to see police using more force than is necessary. here is the challenge if you are in the police department. where is the line? when does it cross from protester to rioter? i give you happen in seattle where highways are shut down. people on the way to appointments, radiology appointments, not able to get through because protesters peacefully shut down a highway. we're asking a lot of police, jed. jedediah: yeah. accusation here is that these tactics are being used against people who are assembling peacefully, causing no harm, not being violent. the detroit police chief james craig responded to this. this is what he said. the judge's order is no different than what we've always done. every time we had to use than lethal force it has been to address violence by protesters resisting arrest or when they tried to take over intersection of violation of the law. technically nothing has change. we don't use tactics against people peacefully gathering. we use them whether violence, destruction, complete violation of orders. i would ask for the short list of what police actually can still safely use when they're confronted like this. look at imagery. none of this looks like peaceful gatherings to me or anyone with eyes observing this. what should police officers do in situations like this? i would really love to know an approved list right now of what people would say is okay? they too have a job to do. that job is to protect the area. protect individuals who are seeking safety. sometimes to protect property. it seems like every option is being taken off the table for them. will: the option rioters want to give for police to stand down. this order from the judge is for two weeks t comes from a lawsuit by the groups rioting and protesting for the police department. for two weeks. look at list. shields, you can't have a shield? a shield used to defend yourself? the idea of arresting any demonstrator en masse without probable cause, there goes curfews and stopping of barricades. the rioters want carte blanche open season on the streets. that is what detroit said. that is a city to keep an eye on. police will simply stand down. we've seen precisely what happens in urban cores when that happens. much. will: that's right. move on to another topic. end of virtual campaign i guess. joe biden will head to pennsylvania on monday. both he and kamala harris head to wisconsin but before that she heads down the trail, kamala said, she would not trust a covid-19 vaccine from donald trump because he has his eyes on an election. listen to this right here. >> they will be muzzled. they will be suppressed. they will be sidelined because he is looking at an election coming up in less than 60 days and he is grasping for whatever he can get to pretend that he has been a leader on this issue when he is not. let's just say there is a vaccine that is approved and even distributed before the election. would you get it? >> well, i think that is going to be an issue for all of us. i will say that i would not trust donald trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the, the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he is talking about. i will not take his word for it. will: small clarification. joe biden heading to pennsylvania. vice president pence and kamala harris heading to wisconsin. what we're listening to deeply irresponsible stuff from kamala harris. i think it is totally reasonable to worry about a vaccine whether or not it is more risky than covid-19 itself. however to suggest that the president of the united states will behind some kind of vaccine you should not trust is deeply irresponsible language coming from the vice-presidential candidate. jedediah: yes. bad politics also. this is the election season we're in. it is getting heated. i'm not surprised. people are worried about the rush of a vaccine, i will say that. a lot of those people are limited government advocates coming forward, saying please make sure it is safe. a lot of people are coming forward, not rushing to take the vaccine to give to my kids, that it works. even though her language are horrifying on that, it does tap into a fear people have, hold on a second, wait a second. will: pete: i thought left to trust the scientists. if the companies come out, trust of the scientists, got a vaccine, we don't trust it because donald trump is the president? all the companies rushing to try to get a vaccine put out a joint safety statement. hey, we'll abide by every protocol that already exists. once again more campaign fodder. we have a few additional headlines for you this morning. a south carolina sheriff's deputy is shot during the line of duty during a standoff. the gunman barricaded himself inside of a home and opened fire. he later surrendered and was taken into custody. the deputy is expected to survive. and a wealthy new york city woman facing four years in prison after she participated in a riot. claire can krabaer was one much eight people arrested friday night vandalizing buildings, causing $100,000 of damages. the 20-year-old has been taking place in riots for years and get this, worked for beto o'rourke failed senate candidacy. her parents, own a two million dollar apartment in the city and a historical home in connecticut. call it an upset. authentic, stunning betting favorite, tis the law to win the 146th kentucky derby. >> tis the law. authentic has won the kentucky derby! pete: the two horses running side by side all the way to the finish line. authentic running the seventh fastest time in the derby's history. just over two minutes. protesters clashing outside of churchhill downs. they marched throughout louisville ahead of the race. black lives protesters demanding justice for brianna taylor a 26-year-old emt fatally shot by louisville police. those are the headlines. no justice, no derby. the derby went on. will: thoroughbreds are amazing athletes. tis the law was the overwhelming favorite but authentic held him off. it was incredible to watch him hold down of the favorite down the stretch. a woman harassed, chased away from dallas police station. she talks about the most terrifying moment of her life. her story next i'm a horse, but cuter. i'm a horse, but magical. pizza on a bagel-we can all agree with that. you're like a party rental. >> tech: when you've got ...safelite can come to you. >> tech: and you'll get a text when we're on our way. >> tech: just leave your keys on the dash and we'll replace your windshield with safe, no-contact service. >> tech: schedule at safelite.com. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ noticks and fleas?o simplifies protection. see ya! heartworm disease?

>> it was not verbal interaction. the videos, immediately people were throwing bottles at us. i had a street don't thrown at me. one person with us had his cell phone stolen. they smashed it. they tried to take my cell phone as well. but i wrestled it back from them. will: we understand what the "walkway campaign" is about. former democrats that moved away from the democrat party. your founder, brandon straka has been on here many times. what was your journey? why did you go to the "walkway campaign"? >> i was a democrat for 20 years. the time i was 18 years old. up until last february i went to donald trump rally. i realized the media were lying who trump supporters were. they were not deplorable people or racist. made me take a whole new look at everything. i ended up leaving the democratic party. upon leaving it, sharing my story online i was attacked and harassed by the left for weeks and weeks until i finally said enough is enough. and i started getting more involved with walkway events and sharing my story. it is not what the media makes it out to be. will: i'm looking at notes of others in the "walkway campaign" who left the democratic party and it appears instances such as yesterday have been a big motivating factor for many of your compatriots in the "walkway campaign." is that correct? >> i think so. the violence of happening, we committed a crime of standing on the street. we didn't say anything to the protesters who were there. if it could happen to us, it could literally happen to anyone. they didn't know who we were from anyone else. they knew that they had seen us probably at the rally earlier in the day. they knew we disagreed with them. that was the only crime we committed. karla. thank you from the "walkway campaign." thank you for describing what happened to you yesterday. >> thank you. will: new york city schools will reopen later this month but students and staff will be required to take random covid tests. is this setting up battle over parents rights?

>> they say they will not be able to attend. i think that the question of, let's say a staff member versus a student is different. a grownup and adult can give consent to be tested at random time in school. i don't think a child can give that kind of consent. i don't you have a arrangement where a parent rushes to to school for a supervised test. i think that is a nonstarter. this is the way to make sure schools don't open. a continue all delaying of schools. the union fighting to go all virtual, having pushback from parents. so i think it is just a method of making sure schools don't open. jedediah: yeah. we know that is delayed now until september 21st. that has just been announced. what do you say to those on the other side, you know what? this is a measure being put in place because it is necessary in order to keep staff members and kids safe. we have no choice. your response to that? >> this measure makes no sense to keep everybody safe because it is random. it has nothing to do with symptoms and not universal. i would be much more for the idea that everybody who comes into the school building produce as negative test result. maybe once every two weeks or so. that makes a lot more sense to me. in general, though, children very rarely contract the virus. if you look at numbers all over the world. look at numbers in many places where schools have opened, it is just not that common. they really don't spread it. what we're really should be doing is focusing on the adults in the building and having them get tested regularly to make sure they're not positive and not passing it to each other. jedediah: you know the sentiment seems to express to me is a distrust of the people being honest about what is going on. seems to me if you have to randomly test, you're saying we don't necessarily trust parents to be honest with us. we don't necessarily trust staff. we don't trust the process. that is a problem, because this will relies on some level of trust. >> right. i think the larger problem to me all around the way the schools last. we're not having a conversation about a lot of other things that have opened. nail salons are open. bars are open as i say in the column. american cities all across the country decided to keep schools closed. it's a backwards process where schools are last. so i would be willing to have the conversations about how we can maintain the trust and how we can test, how we can keep everybody safe but schools have to be open. it has to be priority number one. jedediah: thank you for being here. important to note no one will care more about their children's safety than these children parents. they want their kids to be safe. it is their children. it i will was priority for them, much more than a priority for anyone anyone else who will come in randomly test them. of course the parents prioritize the health of their own children. >> that's right. jedediah: we appreciate the break down. up next an anti-trump group calling for protests every day in 23 cities until the election. our next guest warns this will only lead to chaos. don't miss it. ♪ look limu! someone out there needs help customizing their car insurance with liberty mutual, so they only pay for what they need. false alarm. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ♪. >> we demand. >> we demand. >> we demand. >> we demand. >> right now. >> right now. >> in the streets. >> in the streets. >> until there they're gone. will: anti-trump group calling for protests across the country, every day until the election. pete: we demand. founder for the center for urban renewal and education, star parker. thank you so much for being here this morning. this group, refuse fascism, i have don't know if that is a branch much antifascism or antifa. they say they will protest in 23 cities until the election. these groups have been involved not just protesting but rioting as well. what do you make of this? >> i think they're setting up donald trump for a hand slide he may even get the only state that ronald reagan didn't get after the last bought we had with these types of anti-american sentiments. we're talking about all of these organizations now, these peaceful protesters, taking on the tactics of the kkk. threats, intimidation, what next? so i think that not only will we have chaos until the election day but i think the is a is sube watching. not only is we'll see what happens in november. pete: star, i think you're right when the protests will sway voters. makes me wonder, rye attars, protesters have to know, that this is not a persuasion tactic. what is the purpose in your mind? what is the end goal of these type of movements? >> they want to destablize our society. they are after our founding principles. they think america is inherently evil because it was rooted in christianity, capitalism, constitution, rule of law, where we get to elect our officials. they have don't like this. they don't mind donald trump being president, because it will be much easier for them to continue the totalitarian push under a donald trump presidency than under a joe biden presidency. jedediah: talk about kamala harris. she recently came out and condemned the riots. check out the tweet from her on august 30th. i join joe biden condemning this violence. this cannot and must not be who we are. we deserve a president that will heal our country and bring us together, not fan the flames of division. this side by side on a tweet on june 1st, that promoted the minnesota freedom fund if you remember, is a fund that bailed out protesters. check out this tweet from june 1st. if you're able to help out to the minnesota freedom fund to help those protest egg on the ground. is there a contradiction here? is there hypocrisy going on here? >> more than that, wink, wink, nod, nod. if we bail out folks wreaking havoc across other people's private property, they will continue the terror in the country. they really think this strategy may work for them. they can be the peace and safety, come on guys, we don't want this continuous outcry in the streets. police brutality is what we're really after. so they're going to continue this actually as a strategic scale. i don't think they have the pulse on the american people. the american people want donald trump's leadership because it is about law and order. it is about a rule of law. she can continue to play both sides but they will get beat in november. will: stunning hypocrisy from harris, star. itch to, let me go back to a question, one of your answers just now. if the purpose of these protests and riots is not persuasion, you have actually say they might like to see donald trump presidency, to continue this methodology, what do you think would happen if joe biden won the presidency, what with happen to all the protests, what would happen to the riots? >> i think they will continue, to overthrow joe biden. he is a very weak candidate. in kamala harris they may think they have progressive leader. the wheels of washington move slowly. we'll do this regardless what the american people think about it. i think it will continue in the streets. they want it to continue in in the streets. we get opportunity in the free country to battle in the voting booth. that is not what they want. otherwise they would be peaceful until the election. they would be registering voters. they have want chaos to demand of american people we take up their cause. free country you get to select your own cause. we all have our causes. the problem with their cause, they're demanding and shaking down corporations to invest in their cause. and they're threatening people, others that say this is not my cause. i agree there is a problem. but it is not my cause. i don't want to spend my time there. they're just going to demand it all the way through the election. i think they would prefer a donald trump presidency so they can tear this country apart. jedediah: star, we've been talking about this in the context of the national election. it will be interesting to see also if there are consequences for local politicians in the local elections, many whom abdicated leadership completely. >> they have. jedediah: thank you very much for being here as always. >> you're welcome. jedediah: appreciate it. we'll check headlines for you right now. disney world, universal orlando, seeing a very busy labor day weekend. universal closed three of its parks because of the capacity limit. disney's website says all reservations are taken for its four parks this holiday weekend. both universal and disney limited their capacity because of the pandemic. several boats capsized during a parade for president trump in texas. at least four boats sank. no injuries were reported. of authorities are investigating what caused the boats to capsize because weather conditions seemed relatively calm. 2000 people were expected to attend the boat parade. a georgia animal shelter throws a rescue dog an epic better day party complete with a photo shoot. the shelter said brownie's birthday wish is to find a forever home after spending one year in the facility. he relaxed in a pool and chasing tennis balls. absolutely adorable. we don't know if the puppy has been adopted. if they're interested definitely check it out. happy birthday. will: happy birthday. maybe it is rick reichmuth's birthday. i have one in 365%, not percent, fraction. pete: one in 365 chance. that would be .3% chance it its rick's birthday today. >> rick: wow, you did that last bit of math. will: did he nail it?

jokes because it couldn't be the other two. pete: amazing. google did respond to the trailer being flagged. here is what they said. they said our sensitive events policy was implemented at start of

weekend. i hope you have the smoker fired up. i hope you have big plans. jed and pete have time off. i'm with you tomorrow on "fox & friends." i hope you do jed. i hope you do pete. what are we looking and bar cueing on labor day. jed what do you got? jedediah: i know you don't think i would jump in on the barbecue. nobody wants to hear about my grilled vegetables,. pete: pete that's correct. i did not fire up the smoker but i said i would make you something. i will not give it to you yet. a little too early. yes, i didn't make the bacon butter burger from yesterday but i made some jimmy meat. we'll have more today. i think we're going to a beach, a beach where you can order pizza to the beach. i never done before. will: you do your thing. i hope you at home have the smokers fired. pete: the smoker i did last year. i should have done it. it has been too dormant. will: we turn to one of our stories of the morning, that is the escalating protests riots cokers and tension across the nation. from portland, to rochester to dallas. we spoke to one of the members of the "walkway campaign," this is a movement of former democrats moving to conservative republican president trump's side and one of the main reasons quoted is because of the coercion that they have encountered in moments like this this is karlyn that i spoke to earlier being chased outside of a dallas police department yesterday. >> we're being chased by a mob of people outside the police station, mob of black lives protesters. the police are not here. we're trying to get away from them. we're basically running to the end of the street right now because that is where the cops are. will: that is karlyn being harassed a few days ago outside of the dallas police department. we're looking at here a sliding scale of escalation from coercion to protests to riot. we're not seeing is in any way an attempt at persuasion which makes you ask, what is the purpose of all of this in the end? it is not to sway votes. it is not to persuade somebody on rational argument. what is the purpose, other than power, chaos and destruction. pete: it is power, it is control but it is fear and intimidation. to make people cower. i think, you've been right it point out the more dangerous portion of this, listen, nothing should be lit on fire. businesses should not be destroyed. molotov cocktails should not be thrown at police. we know that. that is law breaking. the police should be given a straightforward mandate to deal with it. unfortunately the police are not. most dangerous portion is the coercion, extortion, people of their lives. we'll play a sound from carlin at the moment. i was identified as a white person, a trump supporter outside of the police department, therefore i was a target. that is it. what sin are you guilty of? , standing being a trump supporter or not being a supporter of black lives matter intimidation. we spoke to her earlier in the program, describing what happened in dallas. >> as soon as we got out of the car we were immediately surrounded by black lives protesters. we have didn't say anything to them. we-minded our own business. the videos you have seen do not show the worst of it. immediately getting out of car we had bottles thrown at us. i had a street cone thrown at me. they were screaming at us. one person with me had his cell phone stolen and smashed. we committed a crime of standing on the street. we didn't say anything to the protesters that were there. if it could happen to us it, could literally happen to anyone. jedediah: this is horrible to see. this is violence being perpetuated against someone for what people think that she stands for. no one likely asks where she stands on issues or has any interest in that. this is violence or violence sake. you don't like what you think someone stands for. i think as a side note. it speaks to the time we're in. i've been in politics for 10 years. i've never seen it so polarized. this kind of stuff does happen on the right and the left, if you express an opinion that goes against the grain ever so slightly you get bombarded. that is a sad place to be. people need to have a conversation. when you talk about the constitution, when you talk about the police, when you talk about criminal justice reform, violence in the streets, these are important issues. if we can't sit at table to talk about these things, respect someone else for differing opinion and not initiate violence against someone if we think we know what they stand for, nothing is getting solved. this is horrible to see what happened to her. this is horrible what happened to conversation in a large part. something has to give here. will: what she said, jedediah, was interesting, they committed the sin of disagreeing. this is tempting for many to say this is one-off, all of these moments are connected. this happened to senator rand paul just a week or so ago. when you employ, jedediah, i want to be fair always, i do not want to think of myself any way as partisan, independent-minded person that can look at the facts of each case, coercion is tactic being employed by one side of the political debate. anytime violence shows up on any side of the political spectrum we should be here to condemn it. right now, persuasion is not the tool employed by many on the left. it is coercion, it is intimidation. increasingly it is physical. that has to be stopped at the low levels. if it is not stopped at low levels like this, it metastasizes for places like portland. pete: it is not violence for violence sakes, violence for political purposes. to demand conformity of political opponents. kitchen table, there is no table. there is no actual conversation. either you're woke, either you raise your fist, either you put the t-shirt on or you are canceled, if you're not canceled, you are confrontedded. will: raise your fist. at a restaurant. pete: seated at table. wonderfully people say i support your cause but you won't coerce me to do it. if you don't stand up to continues to unfold. will: speaking of nightmare scenarios, senator bernie sanders is warning americans it could get worse. here is what he told "politico." what we've got to do in the next two months is alert the american people what that nightmarish scenario might look like, in order to prepare them for the possibility. talk about what we do if it happens. he is talking about the idea that there will be no clear winner on election night in november. let me go on to explain nor what he had to say to "politico." the night mayor scenario, at some time, some states like pennsylvania don't have resources to count their votes mail-in ballots in rapid way. possibly some states trump wins on election night, but when votes are counted he will be behind and lose. during the interval he will claim chaos and confusion claiming there is massive fraud within the mail-in ballot process. pete? jedediah: if there is no clear winner on election night, there will be a lot of trouble, there could be a lot of uproar. people will be dissatisfied. that very well may happen because of mail-in balloting. these things take a minute, if the election is close that may be the reality. i think it is how front and center bernie sanders is, bernie sanders seems confident he will have a key role in a biden administration. joe biden is comfortable having him be front and center. people should pay attention to that. if you vote for joe biden you need to be comfortable with bernie sanders's policies. i have a feeling those policies will also be front and center. whether or not donald trump will concede the election i listen to his words, he told chris wallace his answer in july, whether or not he would saint election results was i have to see. i have to see. no, i'm not going just say yes. i will not say no. i didn't the last time either. that is his response. take from that what you will whether or not that gives fuel to the fire of these conversations i don't know but a statement like that will absolutely be used and run with by a political opponent who is seizing to make a political talking point in a very heated election season. no question. pete: they tried that against him when he was candidate in 2016. it didn't work. ultimately he didn't win. it is true if there is no overwhelming out come there will be contention. when you're pushing out ballots in ways you've never seen before, for people on voter rolls who may or may not live there, you will get things coming back to the secretary of state, board of elections in the state. makes process of counting will be difficult. certain ballots and will be counted an discounted. that will lead to accusations on all sides. there is plenty of frustration from supporters of the president or fair-minded democrats, wait you can riot in the streets, you can have massive protests across the country but you can't go to the ballot box? it is not safe enough to go vote given a window of time? so a lot of angles you can come back as well. jed, you mentioned bernie sanders. he might be, what would you say, the valerie jarrett to joe biden could be bernie sanders. one whispering in the background actually running things and when you look at who joe biden is planning to put into the transition team, here are members recently announced new members of the biden transition team should he actually win. some faces you're going to recognize. susan rice. no surprise. sally yates. new mexico governor michelle grisham. jeff zeints, obama's former national economic director. bob mcdonald, the one who was former head of va was supposed to fix the va but never did. bernie is whispering but a lot of obama as well. will: go back to what bernie said about the election. no doubt this election will be unprecedented in terms how votes are counted and come back, this idea we're headed for chaos is self-fulfilling prophecy. almost like a lustfulness for it. if chaos on the streets and chaos in the election process, you have to ask what is the end goal? if chaos is wanted, what is built up from chaos, what emerges? that is under this. we should ask ourself what is trying to be built amidst chaos. jedediah: also really scary because some of these cities, they can't handle anymore chaos. look at the footage, we can't handle getting worse. that is terrifying reality as well. most people are hoping for an election result that gets solved really quickly to minimize the amount of chaos. it is getting scary out there. turning to headlines. fox news alert. breaking overnight, three massive wildfires burning in california. one of them trapping more than 150 people camping in the sierra

texas state football player makes an incredible touchdown with a one-handed catch. >> mcbride and again, touchdown! he brought it in with one hand! jedediah: texas state receiver jeremiah haydell.

it in. pete: my boy -- will: ever since odell did this. you know what scores a touchdown as easily as one-handed catch? two. pete: sounds like my dad. my dade said it all the time, layup is worth two points like a dung, pete. they're all worth two points. you don't get show points. the kids love you more. up next, it has been two years since the contentious capitol hearings to confirm bret kaveladze to the supreme court. >> do you think it is possible for men to both be friends with some women and treat other women badly? pete: carrey severino president of the judicial crisis network, we should never forget kamala harris' attacks on justice kavanaugh. she joins us next. don't you just love the look on the kids' faces... yea, that look of pure terror... ...no, no, the smile... ...and that second right before the first tear comes... ...what?! pizza on a bagel-we can all agree with that. do you want a hug? >> i would think that anyone privileged to be nominated to the supreme court would want to be confirmed in a process that is not under a cloud. could a reasonable person question your independence in cases involving the president's civil or criminal liability? do you agree that it is possible for men to both be friends with some women and treat other women badly? will: been two years since the contentious confirmation hearings for justice brett kavanaugh. in a new op-ed our next guest says never forget that kamala harris's cruel lies in the kavanaugh confirmation. former clerk to supreme court justice clarence thomas, care reseverino. as an attorney myself i find myself increasingly depressed at due process is declining of importance in this country. viral videos or moments from kamala harris. the truth that was not about due process anyway, was it, carrie? >> it was to raise her profile. she she put out 3600 different ads, people were shocked. she announced run for presidency shortly thereafter. she was doing leading questions, gotcha questions, would never pass muster in a courtroom. someone who likes to style herself as great attorney, she looks like she is trying to play perry mason on tv. in the kavanaugh confirmation it was really shameful she tried to use that for her own political ends. will: not only time either, is it, carrie? didn't she, kamala harris accept originally the accusations of joe biden made by tara reid? it was not a process of due process then either, was it, it was something else, something political? >> absolutely. when tara reid, about a dozen other women at the time that kamala harris was running for president, when they said that he had touched them inappropriately, and been inappropriate in different ways, she said i believe them. a lot of people did. she was very happy when it was in her political interests to jump on that. of course when the tables were turned, a year later, when tara reid it was actually a lot more serious than that, a case of rape she was accusing him off, the same woman who thought you couldn't do enough to investigate decades old claims against brett kavanaugh with no evidence, said to this women who had people contemporaneously what she was saying, had more evidence she had more evidence of meeting joe biden than. that was the top run for vice-presidential spot. sounds like her loyalty to joe biden over due process certainly paid off for her at least. will: odd that kamala harris would suggest joe biden was guilty of these charges. also by the way someone who would have kept segregation in place. essentially called him a racist from the debate stage, would argue for him to be president of the united states. it would seem as you point out, carrie, the truth is not guiding these decisions in these positions but something else. carrie severino. thank you so much for your time today. >> thanks. will: still ahead the 146th kentucky derby was noticeably different with virtually no fans in the stands. how are businesses in the area

morning. this is a ghost town at churchhill downs and no difference between the kentucky derby around the oaks on friday. authentic ran his heart out to win the roses yesterday. tis the law was the

the campaign trail in michigan. will: back in 2016 hillary clinton was criticized for not paying enough attention to michigan, ended up losing it to president trump. liberal filmmaker michael moore recently sounded the alarm on biden repeating her mistakes. pete: he just wrote this on facebook. sound familiar. i'm warning you in advance the enthusiasm for 60 million of trump's base, is off the charts. for joe not so much. here to weigh in gop speaker of the michigan house of representatives. thanks for being here this morning. the biden campaign was not planning to go to michigan. now they are. why? and will it be effective? >> good morning. thanks for having me on the show. i think it is important to note here on the show that michigan had not been won by a republican on the presidential ballot since 1988. now when you think about that there is two main reasons for that. number one how radical and progressive the democrat left has been but also trump's focus on economic message. in michigan here like michael moore mentioned but he and i disagree on a lot. one thing we agree on republicans here in michigan are fired up to vote for president trump. it is indicative that biden is visiting here. democrats should be scared about michigan. it went red in 2016. i think it will go red again. jedediah: lee, what do you think are the key issues that will drive folks in michigan to the polls? what do you think about that enthusiasm and that potential turn out on both sides? >> well, you have to remember that michigan is a blue-collar state. that means, they are not, you know, we're not supporters of socialism. we're not supporters of defunding the police. what michigan workers care about is ensuring that they have a job so they can have money in their pockets, so they can put food on the table. trump focusing on the economic message. joe biden has a real tough time coming into michigan acting like he is a moderate because we know sim flip he is a pawn of the radical democrat left. when you look at the policies trump has done the first term in office about with the passage of the usmca that is good for michigan workers that is good for midwestern workers. biden he is reflection what he passed in the senate with the old nafta plan which wasn't good for america. we like the america first policy we want to make sure we have money. we want to make sure we can send our kids to school. that is trump's focus. that is his message. that is why people will get out and vote for him. will: michael moore, we here on "fox & friends" you sounded alarm, in 2016 hillary clinton didn't pay that much attention to michigan. biden seems to move in the direction not making the same mistake. why in your reason democrats have not given michigan the attention over the last couple election cycles? >> i think democrats have taken our state for granted. remember michigan went blue in presidential elections for 30 consecutive years. michigan hadn't been won since 1988. the reason i remember that, that is the year i was born. this is the first time in 2016 that i remember a republican winning michigan. they are scared and a little frightened but the problem they have to figure out how to get michigan voters and workers attention while proving they are not the party run by aoc and the progressive left. when you look at what the democrat base is focusing on right now, it is not jobs, it is not the economy. it is not an america first policy. that speaks to the heart of the michigan worker. so michigan workers have to decide who is going to do best at restoring our economy and keeping jobs available? is that donald trump or is that joe biden? they chose donald trump once and i think they're going to choose him again. pete: mr. speaker, you mentioned workers. a lot of people have not been able to work in michigan because of governor whitmer, governor shutdown going beyond what other states have done. joe biden called for a nationwide mask mandate, keeping businesses closed longer. how does the issue of covid play in michigan in light of what your governor has done? >> first important to notice the economy is not due to covid. the economy in michigan is due to government's reaction to covid. different states have responded differently. because of that, different states have different unemployment rates. michigan has higher percentage much unemployment rate right now. joe biden talked a couple weeks ago he wants to do a national shutdown. i can assure you that message did not resonate well with michigan workers. all we wanted in michigan for beginning of the covid to live and work safely. we were not given that chance in michigan. who do we want, helping insure we get back to life safely? is it going to be democratic party and issues they focus on or is it donald trump who focus on the economy. michigan has been hit hard by covid because how our government and governor responded to it. i think more people will want to vote for donald trump because he understands what moves our economy. jedediah: lee, you bring up some very important points about a very important state that we'll all be following in the election cycle. thanks for your insight today. >> thanks a lot for having me on the show. jedediah: appreciate it. we'll head over to rick reichmuth for the latest in weather. rick, what have

jedediah: thanks, will. americans are getting out of town for labor day but many are opting to hit the road rather than take to the skies. it is estimated only six million people plan to fly over the holiday weekend. how does covid era travel compare to years past in the airline industry? we have the association of flight attendants president. we appreciate your voice here today. a lot of people, even though the numbers are declining when it comes to covid, a lot of people are still hesitant to get on airplanes. is there anything that the airline industry can do to make people feel more comfortable to book those flights? >> airline industry is still right in the middle of this crisis. what the industry has done is put in place required mask policies, changed their cleaning procedures, talked about the air filtration safer than in an office building. they have done a lot of things to try to convince people but it is just not mapping. people are choosing to drive rather than fly. if you look at this weekend, we're half the numbers a year ago on travel but revenue is down 75% and that's really where we are, where we're expected to be actually through the end of the year. that is why we're asking for continued relief from congress to keep us in our jobs so we can lift off once again so the virus is under control and it is safe to fly. jedediah: you mentioned relief from congress. unfortunately reality we're seeing more and more airlines announcing layoffs. we have a full screen we can put up while we're talking but what do you hope to actually get for congress from this? united, american, delta are all four lowing a lot of employees. that is scary reality if you work in the airline industry. what do you hope congress can do? >> we're here at labor day we're supposed to be celebrating the american worker instead airline workers are facing mass furloughs. that doesn't tell you the whole story. that doesn't include people opting to keep health insurance. they're not counted in the numbers but don't necessarily have work. we're asking congress to continue the package put place in march to get money directly to workers on the front lines that is it what money to the airlines went to, keep us to our jobs, ready connected to health care and lift our industry again. there is incredible bipartisan support. we have 80 senators who support for for this. huge majority in the house and white house signaled house. the issue the white house cannot step in to include the job requirements that are included in the package that congress can enact. so congress has to have a relief package in place to have a legislative vehicle to put this in place before it is too late. these jobs, 750,000 jobs in the airline industry support 11 million jobs in the economy. we spend back into the economy. so it is so important to support these jobs, keep the industry intact, keep the service to all of our communities during the pandemic because that is the other requirement in place for the airlines if this package is in place and then be able to lift the economy again. if you have credentialed employees furloughed now it will be a much more sluggish return for the entire economy. jedediah: sara, thanks for being here. my heart breaks for the people losing their jobs in this industry. i'm remaining optimistic it will pick up. everyone loves the travel industry. all of you serve such an important role lifting our spirits. i hope good news is to come. thank you so much. >> jed, thank you so much. congress needs to act now. everybody needs to demand it. thank you so much. jedediah: appreciate your voice. up next we spoke to the organizer of this massive boat rally yesterday who was hoping to break a world record. did the group hit its goal? we'll check in after the break. ♪ ♪ sometimes you want to go ♪ where everybody knows your name ♪ ♪ and they're always glad you came ♪ applebee's. now that's eating good in the neighborhood. ♪. pete: a massive flotilla set sail along the jersey shore in an effort to show support for men and women in law enforcement and our veterans and for many our president. we're checking back in with the organizers to see if they broke the guinness book of world records. joining us from the water, the parade organizer and grand marshal councilman for a township in new jersey. we had a big turnout, but what was the turnout? you can reflect generally on the big day but also break down the numbers for us. >> we're estimating that we had over 2000 boats which is an unofficial record. we reached out to guinness and we got no response back from them, but that is good enough for me. i will take that. it was a wonderful showing and, was just all around great event that went off without a one problem at all. pete: so, george, that would make you the grand marshal of the world record-breaking flotilla. what was it like to see there, see the outpouring of support at this moment for law enforcement? >> well there was a lot of electricity on the water and it was just one big parade for approximately four to five hours and for four to five hours, nobody worried about anything going on in their personal lives. everyone was happy having a good ol' time on the bay here. pete: chris, these have popped up across the country. this flotilla was try to break the record what happened down in florida. looks like you accomplished it. maybe they will try to best you again next year. >> right. pete: what is it about this moment, our president, that has people motivated to find a creative way to get out there to demonstrate their report? >> it's a phenomenon. >> we found this is a peaceful way to get out there to show support for our boys in blue and our veterans and our president supports them. it all kind of meshes together. you know. as one movement that everybody can get behind and, like i said, you don't necessarily have to be a trump supporter to come out here to enjoy the day. you know, we'll take on that competition from texas, florida, or whomever. it's a great competition to be in and you know, we'll continue to do it and try to break records. we can tennis it back and forth. pete: you just might. we'll see. george, i want to ask you because, you guys have been very clear saying this is a parade for law enforcement, for vets in the military. it so happens a lot of people there also support the president because of his support. did you find any political disagreement? did you find joe biden flags? anybody out there saying hey i'm a democrat but i'm for this? >> we saw one joe biden flag. we welcomed him to the parade. look, we may disagree politically. that is okay. we're here to support the boys in blue and support our veterans, to have a good time out here. the world right now is just, it is at breaking points in terms of you know, we believe in this, we believe in that, there is a lot of infighting. so we believe if we have everyone come together and chris and i have been trying to unite everyone down here at the jersey shore, we think that is more effective way than arguing on social media or anywhere else. pete: chris molla, george williams. you're taking the initiative. >> we're trying. pete: whether anyone recognizes it or not, maybe they will answer the phone line next year. >> maybe. thanks for having us both. pete: thank you very

want. and will and i are -- will: anything you want? pete: anything you want. friends@foxnews.com. [laughter] will: i mean, we have criteria with. we run a show that's on tv. you don't mean -- not anything. friends@foxnews.com with the show in the background if it is appropriate. deemed by our screener. [laughter] then it will hopefully -- labor day themed. pete: okay. put a little box -- [laughter] all right. it's labor day. yeah, plenty of serious news to talk about, but we are also a morning show. join us, get your cup of coffee, stick with us for one hour and 58 more minutes. breaking overnight, portland, oregon, sees its 100 night of protests. rioters throwing molotov cocktails at police. one of the explosives catching an amateur rioter on fire. >> oh [bleep] [background sounds] will: police say rioters are intentionally being violent, putting the public at risk. meanwhile, in rochester, new york, more than a thousand protesters hitting the streets. police reportedly deploying tear gas after rioters trial fireworks at a officer. jedediah: attorney general leticia james says she's forming a grand jury to investigate daniel prude's death, believed to be a sign she's looking to move ahead with criminal charges. she has not interviewed the officers saying they have not been made available. so here we are again covering violent protests. just seeing that image of that rioter on fire should be something that should awaken people. and it's hard to imagine every time we come in here, i say it's hard to imagine this getting worse, and then you turn around and it's yet another city where the violence in that city has been magnified. while this is a local issue that local law enforcement and local political leadership should be handling, in many cases it has gotten completely out of control, and many of us sit waiting in fear of what's coming next. will: it's one that is metastasizing. this has elevated into riots in something like 220 instances across this country. if you can't see the escalation from a place like rochester to a place like kenosha, to ultimately a place like port ifland, you're missing the overarching connection here. increasing division, increasing intimidation, increasing coercion ultimately leads to increasing violence. we have lost the ability to persuade, to debate and communicate, and if we do not figure it out, we will all escalate to places like portland. pete: it's not hard to imagine getting worse at all. it could get way worse. and what we're seeing on the surface could bubble up much more, especially if police are told or incentivized to back up even further. in detroit we covered how their police for two weeks are knot allowed to use -- not allowed to use shields or disperse crowds. i think the more powerful part is the compliance that the mob demands. there was a great i can't remember yesterday with, this restaurant in rochester, new york, where patrons -- remember, these are presumably taxpayers, citizens of that town, are just trying to have dinner. and instead they are confronted by a mob marching into the restaurant, smashing glasses and dish ware. it's this video, also video of what's happening inside. of course, the black lives matter rioters, disrupters, no, it was all peaceful. apparently, here's what the swan dive restaurant said. this is another example in washington, d.c. where patrons were told raise your fist or we will not let you eat in peace. the swan dive wrote: we lost some glass ware last night. you cannot deny the anger and hurt our community is feeling, it's always the actions of a few amplified louder and louder. we now as always stand with those standing against injustice. stay safe, listen, love, ever better. now, they may actually stand with the black lives matter and want to see things change, that's fine. even's free to their own opinion. but i was in minneapolis a couple of weeks ago, and there's black lives matter, justice for george floyd sign on every business there. i have a friend who said, listen, we don't support this, but if we don't put a sign up in our business, we are a target, so we must corporate virtue signal in order to say, rioters, please don't come to us. that's emotional, ideological extortion, and that's not what free businesses and countries and people should be forced to do. jedediah: yeah. and not the choice those businesses are make, but they probably fear retaliation. they don't want their businesses destroy. you know, this is their live -- livelihood -- pete: is it really their choice? jedediah: well, it is -- well, yeah. ultimately, those businesses are making those decisions. so if they decide -- pete: i don't think they are. jedediah: no, if i they decide that they want to take a course of action where they're saying, listen, to this us seems to minimize risk, then that is ultimately a decision they're making. it's a corporate decision s and who nose, honestly, if i were running a business in that area, i don't know what kind of decision i'd be making, because it's terrifying, frankly. one thing that always stands out to me though is when you look at this footage, how can anyone support a defund the police movement? how can anyone not recognize the need for a police force? you could write a post min miegz what's going on, but that's a forfying scenario. -- terrifying scenario. people are just starting to feel comfortable and go out and dine at restaurants and go to gym withs, and now they have to be afraid on another level about all this violence. so this is deeply, deeply harming communities. and i think it's incumbent upon us to acknowledge what's happening, because this is not getting better. this is getting worse. and we cannot endorse movements that only seek toing magnify -- >> [inaudible] will: you know, jed, you said these are corporations making a decision to minimize risk, but i would ask risk of what? i am totally and utterly shocked at the weakness of corporate america and apparently in some instances small business america and in some instances individuals in america to bend to the threat of a mob. now, look, as you pointed out, some people genuinely have these beliefs, and i respect that, but it's getting harder to discern those from those who are simply bending to the weakness of the moment. we've seen it happen with people like drew brees who go from a principled position to completely 180. the opposite because of the fear involved. and what we've seen at every level whether it's principle in the individual case or business and customers, people sitting there and having kinner in the small -- dinner in the maul business case, or shareholders inspect corporate case, the risk seems to be the one they're trying to minimize, the fear of being attacked in some way; physically or with threats by the mob. pete: absolutely. the one place -- well, as long as they actually secure it -- where the mob can't follow you unless things change is the actual voting booth where a lot of people who may put a sign up to avoid being confronted personally may vote in the direction of their own personal safe ity in the future. certainly, that is an undercurrent of the debate. we can talk all we want about tax policy, and we can always say, oh, it comes down to policy. no, it doesn't really if people are afraid to go to work with, afraid e to open their business or afraid to have dinner. that environment pervades everything, changes whether or not people are actually thinking about the issues. scott parker was on our program who's with the center fur ban renewal -- for renewal. >> remember, this is -- we get opportunity in this free country to battle in the voting booth. that is not what they want. otherwise they would be peaceful until the election. they would be registered voters. they want the chaos so they can demand that we take up their cause. in a free country, you get to select your own cause. the problem with their cause is they're demanding and shaking down corporations, and they're threatening others that say this is not my cause. pete: all right. johnny come latety joe biden who finally condemned some forms of rioting has actually come out of his basement. this comes after he got a lot of criticism if his own base for not doing so. remember, michael moore in august wrote this to -- in a facebook post. he said the biden cam pain just announced he's not visiting michigan. sound familiar? don't leave it to the democrats to get rid of trump. you have to get rid of trump. will, it awe appears that the message is hitting home when you look at the enthusiasm level. wul wl yeah. there's real concern that they might lose michigan again as they did in 2016. a little earlier we had the speaker of the michigan house of representatives on "fox & friends" where he is said democrats have continued to take the state of michigan for granted. >> they are scared, they are a little frightened, but their problem is they have to find out how do they get michigan voters and workers' attention while also proving they're not the party run by aoc and the progressive left. and when you look at the news and you look at what the democrat base is focusing on right now, it's not jobs, it's not the economy, it's not an commercial first economy. that speaks to the heart of the michigan worker. so michigan workers have to decide who is going to do best at restoring our economy and keeping jobs available. that donald trump or joe biden? i think they're going to choose donald trump again. jedediah: yeah. so it's smart on the bind camp's part to -- biden camp's part to go there. they're listening to the advice of michael moore who happened to be right on the issues, but ultimately we've been saying it's going to be the economy, who people feel is best to lead at a really difficult anytime this country when it comes to businesses, when i it comes to violence, when it comes to a lot of key issues. michigan is probably, new york always goes to the democrats in two seconds. i want to be in one of those states where it's like who's going to win?

does that not seem just a little bit weird, that they're setting us up to have that scenario? and this requested -- idea that trump won't leave unless he was kicking and screaming? four years ago on inauguration are day the launch of the resis dance. they've resisted donald trump's tax cuts, his efforts to bring the world safer with historic foreign policies, trade deals, on and on the list goes. they've resisted every bit of it. even the things they said they wanted like daca, like infrastructure, like police reform. the president lays it on the table and suddenly they don't want it because he's at the table. this is unsane, and i hope the american people understand we need to not just vote, we need to vote en masse. this needs to be a land slide that they cannot steal but going out and finding some ball otts they were able to harvest after the election. pete: no doubt, governor. i've got to get your reaction to a story we've been covering for a couple of days. the atlantic, which is owned by big fans of joe biden, and a piece was written by jeffrey goldberg who's a big fan of hillary clinton and barack obama, not so much donald trump, made anonymous sources to claim donald trump made remarks about fallen heroes. your daughter was there and didn't hear him say anything like that. can you explain more of what she saw and also your reaction to it. >> well, this story is utterly phony. and i've heard people say, well, it's been confirmed because other people have confirmed it. the same unmaim named -- unnamed anonymous sources. that is an affirmation of the original lie. the people who are being named, my daughter, hogan gidley, nikki haley e, general keith kellogg -- pete: not to mention john bolton, governor. >> yeah. no fan of the president these days, and even he said it was rain that kept them away with. this is one more attempt, this is about as phone if not worse than russian collusion which turned out to be a big bag of gas. when people say something has been confirmed by another course, if the same source is anonymous, it's bogus. as larry gatlin, my dear friend, would call it bovine droppingsing. when you can't stand up and name the source, it's not a really reliable story. so you would say to the people pushing this stuff, get us a name. put him on the record. put him under oath. but it's not true, and the people who were there and saw it, they're willing to stand up by name, put their names to the effect and say this is an outright lie against the president. and how funny was it that the very day this article came out, the biden campaign had an ad that just magically appeared because they're so smart, they're so so prescient that they were able to foresee this article a coming out and go ahead and put together a tv ad even before the article broke. that's pretty amazing, wouldn't you say? as somebody would say, they must have espn or something over this.

you do have chaos, and that's exactly what marxists want. jedediah: and one of the conversations that's happening around all of this is who would be best fit to lead at this time with a lot of the distress thing news that's going on when it comes to businesses, violence, the pandemic. it's a tough time right now to be the leader to of the free world, and that conversation is happening, and you see that joe biden now has emerged from the basement. he's heading to pennsylvania on monday. hymn and kamala harris are heading to wisconsin. harris has made some comments about the covid-19 vaccine as it relates to president trump. controversial, as always. take a listen to what she had to say. >> they'll be muzzled, they'll be suppressed, they will be sidelined because he's looking at an election coming up in less than 60 days, and he's grasping for whatever he can get to pretend that he has been a leader on this issue when he has not. >> let's just say there's a vaccine that is approved and even distributed before the election. would you get it? >> well, think that's going to be an issue for i all of us. i will say that you would not trust donald trump, and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he's talking about. i will not talk husband word for it. his word for it. jedediah: yeah. so just be cheer, she's accusing president trump of doing something to that vaccine to rush it which would, hence, mean that he would be more concern about the election and what the impact would be on the election than the safety of the american -- that's a blanketed accusation that's coming out there. so people need to think about if that's something responsible she should be saying. she can have all the caution she wants about a vaccine in general and ask all the questions about testing it properly and making sure that there's efficacy and that it's it's liable, but lungeing that back to president trump -- lunge aring that back to president trump and some kind of ill-intentioned action, that's next level stuff. pete: i would like to cede the balance of my time to former governor mike huckabee who said it well. >> i don't know if she actually thinks donald trump in a laboratory late at night mixing up some vaccine samples and he's going to personally go out and inject her with it. we hear from the left all the time follow the science, follow the science. so when scientists are charged with the idea of coming up with a vaccine and they end up doing it and she says i'm not going to take it, now he joins the jenny mccarthys and the anti-vaccers, and it makes them look is sully to beg for a vaccine. no, i'm not going to take it because donald trump was president when it was made. pete: it is amazing. science will save us until it's donald trump's scientists, and then we'lling ignore them. willwell it's deeply -- that's completely reasonable, but to lay it as a political conspiracy beyond irresponsible. it is absurd. turning now to your headlines starting with a fox news alert. breaking overnight, three massive wildfires burning in california, one of them trapping more than 150 people camping at the sierra national forest. military helicopters saving 53 people with mores are cue missions underway. two of them seriously uninjuredded. the creek fire spans 36,000 acres, it's at 0% containment. 450 firefighters are working to put out the flames. another fox alert, chaos in the street of portland, oregon, as the city sees its 100th night of protests. rioters throwing several molotov cocktails, one of the explosives catching a rioter on fire. >> oh, [bleep] [background sounds] will: polices are saying rioters are intentionally being violent, putting the public at risk. and nfl quarterback deshaun watson getting some surprise guests at a zoom press conference. >> we'll finish up with the watson family. >> congratulations -- >> congratulations! >> >> i'm proud of you -- [laughter] proud of you, bro. will: he's getting emotional after his family and friends called to congratulate him on his record-setting contract. get this, he signed a four-year, $116 million contract with the houston texans. do the math, that's $40 million a year: and those are your headlines. jedediah, by the way, now i'm going to go back to my breakfast. steak for breakfast. pete: it does smell really good. will: delicious. and it is. jedediah: looks like a happy will cain. that's the only weigh-in -- never seen his smile quite so big before. coming up, we have told you about the mass lawsuit over unfair dining -- one of those is joe germanotta who co-owns a restaurant with his daughter, lady gaga. we're going to talk to him next. ♪ ♪ what getting fueled with one protein feels like. what getting fueled with three energy packed proteins feels like. meat! cheese! and nuts! p3. because 3 is better than 1 ♪ ♪ pete: we've been telling you about new york city restaurant owners suing democrat state and city leaders over what they say with unfair dining restrictions. this includes joe germanotta who owns a family-owned restaurant in manhattan, father, as it happens to be, to lady gaga along with his attorney. thank you, gentlemen, both for being here. joe, let me start with you. i believe your restaurant's on the upper west side. you cannot have outdoor dining. winter is coming. talk to us of the stakes in this for you. >> well, you know, basically the stakes are that, you know, once thewet gets cold -- the weather gets cold, we're pretty much out of buzz. i mean, we're automobile to have about 20 seats out front now, you know, i've got a patio with a couple of seats on the back. but without the indoor dining, i'm just about breaking even. you know, which is fine, all right?

>> yeah, of course. i mean, we've taken the precautions already of, you know, hanging, hanging plexiglas between all the tables. in fact, we have some hanging outside between the tables. but even the bar is sectioned off so that, you know, customers can come in and sit at the bar, or they can sutt at any of the table, and there's a physical barrier between them. and we've reduced the number of seats to that even the walkways throughout the restaurant are, you know, social distanced. i mean, i was ready on july 6th when we had the opportunity, you know, everybody was happy it was going to happen, and then it ended and we got the front door, the front -- the outdoor dining, and that was it. pete: uh-huh. but with winter coming and no plan without indoor, as you said, it could be game over for so many people and their livelihoods. joe and james, keep us posted on the case, please. we want to follow it here on the program. >> thanks, pete. pete: thank you guys very much. >> thank you, pete. pete: you got it. president trump will award legendary football coach lou holtz with the presidential medal of freedom. the coach is here to react to that incredible honor, coming up. don't forget your lunch! i'm making pizza on king's hawaiian mini subs. yum! king's hawaiian. iredefined the wordng th'school' this year. yum! it's why, at xfinity, we're committed to helping kids keep learning through the summer. and help college students studying at home stay connected through our university program. we're providing affordable internet access to low income families through our internet essentials program. and this summer, xfinity is creating a virtual summer camp for kids at home- all on xfinity x1. we're committed to helping all families stay connected. learn more at xfinity.com/education. ♪ ♪ jedediah: authentic pulls the upset at the 146th kentucky derby. but the iconic race was very different with protesters in the streets and no fans in the stands. ashley stromeyer joins us live from churchill downs. >> reporter: hey, good morning. empty as it has been all week, but it was very, very empty yesterday at the 146th kentucky derby. this as it was authentic who took home the roses. the impact of covid-19 has been felt not only with churchill, but as far as businesses and everything around louisville, kentucky. many people who have been in the horse racing world said the lack of those fans really had an impact not only with the jockeys, buts also those horses. meantime, demonstrators headed to churchill downs to protest the death of breonna taylor. earlier this summer a group said they would be -- the -- i by ran at 7:02, but between the protests and covid-19, businesses and restaurants had taken pretty big hits. one restaurant owner told me it's also a reallied baa thing for his employees. -- bad thing for his employees. >> we're down probably 70% plus at all of my restaurants. this 70% ultimate huh means probably about half a million dollars, you know?
