[national anthem] [national anthem] [national anthem] [cheers and applause] pete: if your photos, our nation's anthem on the final day of august, august 31st, year of our lord, 2024, and here we are at 6 a. M. We're ready. I think we're ready. Maybe. Rachel or, good to see you. Rachel: i'm ready, but i'm not ready. By the way, good morning, joey. I'm not ready for summer to be over. I notice people had all these photos of their boats and water skiing and feel taking kids tubing. My kids start school next week, and i'm just not ready. I love summer so much, joey. Joey: down south we start early, andin know i didn't know that until i started coming up here. August 6th is when we start, i had at least five things we didn't do this her rachel: like what is? joey: i wanted to do a weekend trip to the beach, just stuff like that, fun things i wanted to do with my kids in between my son being a fanatic about his running and going to the the running camp and stuff like that. We didn't have time rachel: it went like this. Joey: yeah, there wasn't enough summer for us. Pete: running camp. I've got four kids playing cross country, so i get it. I love the running thing. Joey: it's a. Christian camp. It's in northeast georgia. I'll tell you about it. They had a couple of limp januaries there, and that's what he does, cross country. Rachel: i love it. Pete: it's good to have you this morning. We've got a 4hour tour, buckle up. If you were watching the channel last night, you may have seen president donald trump took to the stage in washington, d. C. For, i believe, the third annual moms for liberty convention. Hay talked about a wide range of subjects in a way that kamala harris [laughter] never would. On stage, unscripted with someone who's asking you questions on anything. It's never going to the happen. But he did that, spoke to the group of supports of byron donalds, you recognize him. And he talked about that big moment just a couple of days ago where kamala harris did that big interview we have all been waiting for for 40 days which was underwhelming, to say the least, and here is president trump talking about kamala harris' big interview. She's not good at it, i guess, and they do that. They did something we didn't know. I think she would have been better off if she did interviews and they weren't great. She's defective, she's this defective person, and we don't need another defective person as president of the united states. [cheers and applause] if. Rachel: yeah. It wasn't the most impressive interview that kamala harris did. The last time she did an interview like that sitting down, remember she had that clip, just be woke who. Whatever you do, be woke. [laughter] and pete: i never stop being woke. Rachel: yeah. So he had some fun mocking that. But he got down down to some serious stuff with this moms for liberty. As you guys know, i love these ladies. They're the quiet champions of our country. They're the ones who are fight for our kids in our schools and getting attacked for it, often getting investigated by the fbi for it. And so here's donald trump saying who wouldn't be for presential rights? listen. I'm for parental rights all the way. I don't even understand the concept of not being. Do parents truly love kids? some of these people on the boards, i think they don't like the kids very much, what they're doing. So you have to give the rights back to the parents. They called us domestic terrorists, president trump. Can you believe it? well, we'll change that on the first day, i promise you. [cheers and applause] rachel: yeah. Joey: yeah, you know, i mean, pete well, all three of us have gone through the rigors of where do we put our kids in school, where are our priorities? i think we probably have all three found different types of schools to send our kids to but with the same priorities. I had a chance to brag on my kids' public school last time was up here hosting, but not every parent has that understood. Not every state allows for school choice, and there's a lot of reasons why parents are not up in arms, but concerned and say, you know what? this is my primary if issue. I'd love for the economy to be better, the border to be secure, but i don't want my kids to be indoctrinated. I don't want to lose my kids before i have a chance to the share with them the kind of person i think they should be. So for donald trump to show up and speak, it's just another opportunity to the hear him talk in a long list of them. To go back to the to the kamala harris interview real quick, they introd the second segment with what was equivalent to a political ad for kamala harris. Dan that is reading dana is reading, she was a prosecutor, an attorney general, and there's these clips of her getting applause. And then it cuts to donald trump and he's at that nowfamous or infamous sitdown he did with the association of black journalists, and basically, it's just a clip of him saying kamala isn't black. So the idea there is they used that against him as this juxtaposition rachel: instead of saying kamala didn't show up to that interview. Joey: that's the irony. That's why they had that clip, because he'll sit down and talk to anyone to get his message out. Pete: joey, they tried to is hard to prop her up as much as they could, but that interview burst i mean, that changed the whole look at the betting markets on the presidential campaign. Kamala harris is up 3 points today if you're betting rachel: you're saying that can i thought the analysis was that she did no damage to the herself, so it was neutral. Pete: bubble's burst. I think she's toast. And [laughter] i'm not saying the election's over. Rachel: no, you're saying pete: i'm saying the bubble's burst. The honeymoon was long, and the media with loved it and hay a fawn pd. She came out one time, and it was terrible. And service the exactly who we it was exactly who we know she is, who her campaign knows she is, who the media knows she is. This is a whole different race now because what do you do? do you do less of it and play into the carrick ca capture? joey: that's what they'll do. Pete: but they built it up, they created the expectations for this interview, and because they turned it into the super bowl, we all watched. And leak when joe biden debated trump, that's all we've got? i think they've got big problems. Rachel: and the worst answer was the first one, which everyone watched. Joey: the worst answer was describing breakfast. Rachel: oh, yeah! joey: we got more detail about that breakfast than any policy position rachel: so funny you said that. I was talking to the producers this morning, and i said people aren't talking enough about the filibustering on the breakfast. [laughter] what happened when biden called you? i was making bacon, and i was serving my niece, and she was sitting at the table and is we were making a puzzle. What is going on here? pete: i do that a lot on this show when i don't have anything else to say, i speak at length [laughter] about unnecessary details, okay? [background sounds] if she knew she could9 set the scene on the bacon, and so she went on and on about breakfast otherwise she'd have to the answer a serious policy rachel: it wasn't just breakfast. It was maternal, i don't have kids, but i feel so maternal. There was a lot she was trying to pack in there. Pete: then you get asked day one what are you going to do, and she can't rachel: she can't answer. Pete: i think the whole race vet in an interesting way. Rachel: there's another to topic, you guys, that's grabbing people's attention. We talked about it yesterday on fox & friends when i filled in for ainsley as well. This story is terrible. The venezuelan gangs that our show has been very, very outspoken about and talking about that have come through the southern border have now they're not, it's not just that they're harassing are residents. They've literally taken over this building. Pete: that looks like a nice rachel: they're commandeering the building. Basically, normal residents left, and there's a lot of illegals in there and other americans in there, by the way. And the gang is collecting rent as if they own the building. This is a new level of things we've never seen. You know when they say we're turning into the with third world, this is what we're talking about. There's a city councilwoman who's been bringing attention to this. She's been getting no attention, but because there was a ring video and this video that you're seeing here, it's finally getting some attention. This is a facebook post by the mayor of aurora, mike cough learning he says the city is preparing documents to request an emergency court order to clear the apartment building by declaring the property a criminal nuisance. In the meantime, the law enforcement task force set up to disrupt and arrest venezuelan gang members in these buildings will continue its operations. Meanwhile, residents of the apartment say they just couldn't get the help they wanted. Listen. On this particular date, it was really bad. And, buts it is not by any means an isolated occurrence, unfortunately. I have months, almost a year and a half worth of footage from six separate cameras. They don't want to admit that they're part of the problem. It's the administration. Who we count on to to make the rules for us, to make the guidelines that we go by. I call 911, no help comes for me. Nobody showed up to help me. I didn't have a bulletproof vest is. I didn't have five officers showing up with me whenever there was a problem. We were on our own, and we were left to die. Wow. These people have no registration in this country. Joey: that's amazing. You look at that video, and tear standing with long rifles. I believe she's the one that took that video rachel: correct. Joey: that is her video that she's put out there. This isn't new. There's a community outside of houston that's basically been taken over by the cartels. This isn't the only place this is happening. We've got video and witness account accounts to talk about it, but this is a problem that'll continue to to persist. Pete: you're going to let in venezuelan gangsters, what do you think's to going to happen is? they're going to the open a lawful business and compete for customers? [laughter] no. Rachel: right. Pete: they're going to extort and intimidate. And they find the most vulnerable people to do it, and i'm glad these residents are able to somehow get information out, because the governor of colorado's denying it. Rachel: well, he's actually criticizing the city council member saying she's giving the city a bad name by pete: democrats. Rachel: there are four other buildings that have now been taken over. By the way, do you remember when i went to the border and and spoke with the chiltons who their ranch was take then over taken over? pete: yeah. Rachel: think about that. Their entire life was dictated by the cartels coming over. You guys saw firsthand how 3,000 people were coming over, they had videos. All the stuff they had to do and change their lives to accommodate for the open border policy that brought those people onto their property. This is colorado. It's moving up, you guys. This is happening. It's going to happen in your neighborhood if something isn't done. Joey: every state a border state. Rachel: yeah. Joey: hockey fans are paying tribute to the nf dnhl star johnny if gawd row and his brother matthew. Rachel: killed just hours before their sister's wedding. Pete: chanley painter joins us with more. Reporter: hey, guys, shock waves around the hockey community as a fans come together to mourn the loss of 7time nhl allstar and father of two johnny gau dr. Eau and a dad to be, matthew, in ohio a memorial built outside of nationwide arena and in new jersey, a makeshift memorial grows at the site where the brothers were cycling together thursday evening when they were struck and killed by a suspected drunk driver. Police say 43yearold sean higgins, who admitted to having 56 beers before the fatal incident, was behind the wheel before he attempted to pass two other vehicles before striking the brothers behind. In a virtual court appearance, higgins appeared to sigh with exasperation when he learned he would be held in jail through next week. Watch this. I'm here til thursday? yes, sir. Statutes and court rules require me to hold you over for a minimum of 72 hours before your hearing because we have a weekend and we have a monday holiday, 72 hours becomes thursday. Reporter: yeah. And that court appearance happening around the same time that the brothers were set to be groomsmen at their sister's wedding, an event now canceled in light of this tragedy. The family saying in part, out, we want to know everyone to let everyone know we continue your thoughts and prayer, we is can if for your continued respect. Coming up next hour, the brothers' former hockey coach will join you guys here on fox and frerntionz guys. Pete: so tragic. Chanley, thank you. We turn now to a few additional headlines starting with a fox news alert. Seven u. S. Service members are many stable condition after a thursday raid on isis terrorists in western iraq. A u. S. Defense official saying, quote, one of the wounded was evacuated for further treatment, two additional evacuated. 15 isis fighters were killed in the raid.

Kate lin reese, the rivalry caitlinreese, the rivalry, like magic and bird. Joey: is it? i don't know anything about basketball. Pete: i don't think it's at the same level, but they don't think so either. Rachel: you're just looking for a pete: just for fun. [laughter] exactly. I'm trying to instigate here, rachel. I don't think it's g
