i've agreed to the september 10 debate. he agreed but now it appears he is back pedalling. i'm ready. the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists on a debate stage, i'm ready, let's go. >> if they do debate, trump says he has his record to back him up. >> handle it very easily, i have the economy on my side, we had the greatest economy in history. they have a lousy economy. the border is a big deal, i fixed it down to the best level ever and they broke it. they broke it. >> madeleine: "new york times" sienna poll shows trump with slight lead over harris 47% of likely voters support the vice president. >> steve: thank you. s significance of that "new york times" sienna poll is that donald trump was ahead by six in

early july. new cnn poll come out and so many democrats are energized and excited, it is not joe, it is somebody new. according to cnn, harris has gone up five points with people under 30 and seven points with black voters and up with latino voters. the trump team says the honeymoon will not end, people will refocus on if, you don't like the policies of joe biden, his copilot in the center of that screen is kamala harris. >> brian: and she's more to the left, operative word is left. >> ainsley: they are close, when she was d.a. in san francisco, she co-chaired his california campaign and attended launch speech and cammin pained in four states and announced she was running for ag and obama

undorsed her and hired her brother-in-law to be associate at d.o.j., they have xoen each other for a long time. >> lawrence: that is gamble, you put her out there without the country knowing her full record, unvetted, people don't know who she is. at the top of the ticket, all documents where she stands on all issues will be repeat. is the country comfortable with more progressive president. >> brian: and more green. >> ainsley: politics is doing favors, she did so much for his campaign, he said, i need to endorse her now and she rises in popularity in california and gets elected and then he epidorses her again and she helped him. i feel like so many favors, i'll scratch your back, you scratch mine. >> steve: barack obama and george clooney and others helped kill off joe biden's reelection

process. >> ainsley: after the debate when he did not do well. >> steve: we slowly saw top democrats, nancy pelosi and everybody else, clintons, as well, endorse and now michele obama and barack obama. obama said democrats are un underdogs on that video and pledged to get to work to make her president. >> ainsley: that video is very sta staged. >> brian: former president trump will be in minnesota tomorrow night. fox news alert. israeli prime minister netanyahu will meet with former president donald trump at his mar-a-lago club today. >> steve: this visit today comes one day after benjamin netanyahu met with president biden and kamala harris but met with them separately. she called out the israeli government as protests were

raging on in washington. >> lawrence: outside the convention center where trump is speaking later today. madison. >> security teams in west palm are on high alert ahead of this meeting with israeli prime minister netanyahu and donald trump. he met with president biden and v.p. harris separately. he thanked them for support and met with families of hostages held in gaza with both sides hopeful americans upon be brought home soon. following harris's meeting, she pledged support but criticized israel's handling of the conflict. >> i've had unwaivering commitment fo state of israel, to its security and to the people of israel. what has happened in gaza over past nine months is devastating. we cannot allow ourselves to become numb to suffering and i

will be not silent. >> this upset benjamin netanyahu who fears harris comments could harm negotiation process at the finish line. harris's statement was more critical than biden. this was her first meeting with a leader since announcing her run for president. donald trump will meet with benjamin netanyahu after stressing the process of getting them home yesterday morning on "fox and friends." >> make sure it gets over with fast, end this fast, it cannot go on like this, it is too long, too much. you have to get your hostages back. >> netanyahu meeting lasted three hours and with harris 40 minutes. we are expecting his meeting with president biden to last a couple hours. he will have an action convention and to nashville for a conference and to st. cloud,

minnesota. back to you, guys. >> lawrence: you'll be busy. >> steve: here comes the fire truck. >> brian: cover whatever is happening behind her. interesting to hear his message. do you zero in on vice president kamala harris' issues, zero in on your issues? i'll have chris lasavedo on my show. >> steve: after the convention, republicans who had convention will get a bounce in the polls. >> brian: we don't know who they are bouncing against. who is holding the ball? >> steve: it was joe. >> brian: bounce as high as you want. >> steve: six democrats joined

republicans in condemning vice president harris over her lack of action to address our southern border crisis. >> brian: some house democrats are giving talking points regarding harris's role at the border and white house look to shield vice president from criticism. >> lawrence: griff jenkins is who is always at the border is here to react. >> griff: it isser cloo, democrats want to change the narrative. first and foremost, it says v.p. was never appointed border czar, it does not exist, it was invented by republicans and she was not asked to lead on immigration or border enforcement. the white house seems to have gotten those, as well. >> debunk the false char characterization of the vice president. she was not a border czar.

independent fact checkers said that did not exist and that is not true. >> griff: denied points of talking points and somebody asked harris campaign about it, this after harris was tasked with stemming surge of migrants to our southern border. >> president biden: i've asked her, the v.p. today, because she is most qualified person to lead our efforts with mexico and northern triangle and the countries that help -- need help in stemming the movement of so many folks stemming migration to our southern border. >> griff: not all democrats are on board with this rebranding, six joined house republicans condemning harris as failed border czar. henry cuellar called her visit politically safe, hundreds of miles from the border crisis.

review of cbp data shows illegal crossings from kamala harris root cause country is up 140%. >> brian: if we said, griff jenkins does not cover the border. change your title, you don't cover the border much, do you? >> griff: one thing that stands out, fox confirmed harris never wons met or spoke with border patrol chief previous or current. you would think she would. >> lawrence: since she is so criticizing. >> ainsley: she is not the border czar, according to the talking points. >> steve: griff, you were talking about sheet music, right? >> griff: yes. >> steve: good. >> ainsley: it sounded like something else. >> lawrence: we don't want a viral story to happen all day. >> ainsley: accusing you --

>> griff: sheet music, brian was talking about sheet music, i was working it in. >> steve: blame brian. >> brian: when does that happen? >> ainsley: that was good. always causing problems. >> brian: the prompter went blank. we're not responsible for what happens next. >> steve: thatten moos, it is time for carley because dave has steady cam there and you have -- >> carley: ready to deliver fox news alert. the fbi is seeking interview with former president trump as part of their investigation into the assassination attempt. a federal source says the bureau is looking for a victim impact statement and this is standard procedure. we will have a live report from butler, pennsylvania, with more details later this hour. two leaders of mexico's sinaloa

picking up the electric guitar. >> brian: in space. will you get shocked? >> ainsley: is there a pool in space? after they get out of the pool. >> lawrence: dangerous. how do we transition in just do it. country singer kameron marlowe performs for all american summer c concert series, that is next.

thank you for the live report from the european newsroom. after years of inaction, california governor gavin newsom says he will take care of the homeless encampments that have taken over the state following supreme court rulings. senate candidate steve garvey joins us with reaction. >> great to be with you. thanks. >> steve: u.s. supreme court ru ruled oregon could tickle people not living in a house. gavin newsom is saying, let's clean things up. does it have anything to do with the fact he's in the national spotlight? >> absolutely. seems like every week we have a bill coming out of the governor's office that seems to be completely riddled with political intention. this should have been done three or four years ago when $20 to

$25 bill knowiowas put into the homeless issue. first thing i will do, senator of california, is to call for audit on where the money went to. i've been to inner city of sacramento and los angeles, san francisco, san diego. all that money was invested in california and all of a sudden, it has increased by 15% over the last year. let's face the issues and talk more about the crime in the streets and that is the drug lords who come in and affect people at lowest point in their lives. there are great projects in san francisco, alpha project, the dream center, now for the governor to go on national stage and say i'm going to do this, it will not happen. there will be one committee after another homeless will still be faced with same problem on the street and we need

>> ainsley: the fbi is seeking an interview as part of the investigation into donald trump's assassination attempt. cb cotton has more. >> the fbi is looking to interview former president donald trump to obtain a victim impact statement. this is standard protocol for any criminal investigation bupt this new development as agent investigators are reviewing

evident in the assassination attempt. telling me, since day of the attack fbi has been clear the shooting was an attempted a assassination of former president trump when resulted in his injury and the death of a fat father and husband and two others injured and the investigation remains ongoing. fbi director christopher wray says thomas crooks scoped out the area three times. one time was two hours before the rally began, according to wray. we flew our drone, it appears crooks may have tried to give himself an edge over counter snipers. he was likely concealed by the trees and that is confirmed when we flew our drone from the opposite vantage point showing

snipers did have obstructed view of crooks body. kill shot the counter sniper tooks one in a million. crooks was a member of a local gun club and jenkins says he practiced immediately next to crooks on june 22, just weeks before the rally. >> he obviously had experience, he loaded so fast and hit the target pretty well in furth er distance out. >> josh hawley said he learned secret service turned down repeat offers for law enforcement to provide drone coverage during the campaign stop. josh hawley wrote a letter to alejandro mayorkas of the allegation saying it is hard to understand why the united states secret service would decline to use drones when they were

offered, particularly given the fact the secret service permitted the shooter to fly a drone mere hours before the event. bill jenkins, the man we heard from earlier said he has been interviewed by the fbi. back to you. >> ainsley: kamala harris giving her first campaign speech to aft teacher union in texas attacking parents and conservatives as extremists. >> while you teach students about democracy and representative government, extremists attack the sacred freedom to vote. these extremists attack the freedom to learn and acknowledge our nation's true and full history. >> ainsley: where does she stand on education? in her 2020 campaign, her platform included universal pre-school, teacher pay raises, det free college and student

loan forgiveness, something she championed as vice president. she sponsored four education bills, none passed, would have funded bussing and stemmed for girls and backed debt for forgiveness and pushed for harsher truancy charges for parents. joining us is education secretary under ronald reagan, bill bennett. good morning, mr. secretary. you have experience in education, what do you like and not like about her plan? >> well, i don't like much about her plan. we heard yesterday, or day before, when she was speaking to the teachers union. she was endorsed by randi weingarten, who gave you prologued covid absence. remember schools did not open and she kept saying they are not

safe. they were safe for kids and we lost ground. what is missing from kamala harris' list is emphasis on what we need to do, math, history, assas science and reading and we missed emphasis on parental involvement and parental choice. it boils down to this, if you want your schools to talk about gender fluidity than you do have them talk about math and reading, then kamala harris is your candidate. >> ainsley: you're right, she was criticizing republicans, not talking about her policy, criticizing republicans from preventing educators from discussing sexual ore yientatio and banning books and calling for end of department of education. look at trump's plan for education, they want to cut funding if school pushes crt and

want biological men out of women's sports, want transparency, universal school choice and they want parents to elect principals. what do you like or don't like? >> i like it all, educational freedom, i just joined educational freedom alliance, group pushing for parental choice in schools. if you don't like what is going on in school, you can go. later in the proposal is emphasis on math and reading and science and that is what we need to remember, the schools are about, not social engineering and as she said in her speech in houston alerting to love the person you love no matter who you are. that is not what school is about, get scores up, deplorable score upons which put us way behind the chinese. >> ainsley: we saw youngkin win

in virginia because of this, he listened to parents. thank you so much. >> bill: great, great to see you. you are punch struck this morning. i think you drank too much news this week, i think. >> ainsley: you are right, we need some levity, it's been a long last few weeks. it is okay, presidential election year. thank you, bill, great to see you. the world's biggest bitcoin conference happening this weekend and trump is highlighting it. first kameron marlowe will perform live for all american summer concert series. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ i'm giving you up, same way i had whiskey. so tough.
