>> will: it's 8:00 on the east coast, thursday, august 15th. this is "fox and friends." today trump set to hold a press conference, something harris has not done for 25 days and counting. this after his economic rally in north carolina. voters say they trust him over harris on the top issues. >> ainsley: plus, breaking with the boss. biden and harris back together today, but after touting bidenomics for years, the vice president distancing herself from their policy comprehend she have it both ways? >> lawrence: houston, we may have a problem. nasa delaying decision on return of the two astronauts stuck in space. a former astronaut outlines the options for a safe return. final hour of "fox and friends," already here, show went by fast.

remember, mornings are better with friends. >> will: happening today, former president donald trump will hold a press conference in bedminster, new jersey. >> lawrence: alexis mcadams is here with more on that. >> the former president will speak today, his second news conference in last two weeks. he talks for quite a while sometimes. new poll shows state of the presidential race is close. former president trump is leading by 1 percentage point, sitting at 50% with v.p. kamala harris sitting at 49%. among independent voters accident trump 51% and harris

43%. that is a little different. immigration is a top issue we hear people talk about everyday, as do you guys. that is new york city alone. former president trump talking about this, saying kamala harris is responsible for bad policies. >> they actually want open borders and kamala wants open borders and she said for 15 years she wants open borders. she changed recently when she noticed a poll was not polling well. >> that is a top issue for people. this migrant arrest is putting immigration in the spotlight. daniel bonilla, raped a woman in coney island, threw her to the ground. this is not his first arrest for sexual assault. harris says president trump is lying and she's been working to

secure the southern border for the past few years. see what people think. >> ainsley: thank you so much. vice president harris and president biden making their first joint trip together since biden ended his reelection bid. >> will: mark meredith has more. >> the white houses it is proud of the inflation reduction act. today we will see pushback in front of the democrats. she and it is president will talk about lowering drug costs. one big question, will harris campaign on bidenomics? tomorrow she will be in north carolina, a battleground state laying out her economic policy. there are reports she'll distance herself from her boss. axios say her advisors say so

privately. she wants to break on rising prices and this is part of an effort to define herself. something my colleague peter st. petersburg peter doocy asked about yesterday. >> she is hoping to distance herself from unpopularity on the -- >> are you aware this is the biden-harris administration and she is the vice president? >> see how long the president stays in the spotlight, next week we will be at the dnc the first night. democrats insist they are united behind this new ticket. they have 90 million ready to go this month. how much will we see president biden on the trail? back to you guys. >> will: one big question is how

kamala harris can distance herself from the role she's played in the administration she has been playing second fiddle to the last 3-1/2 years. how can she be a totally different person than vice president harris. she is saying, yes, inflation is a problem, i'll handle that day one. and donald trump pointed out, day one was 3-1/2 years ago. watch. >> kamala has declared that being taeling inflation will be a day one priority. think of it for her, but day one for kamala was 3-1/2 years ago. why hasn't she repealed biden-harris regulatory onslot, we can save estimated $20,000.

six, seven, eight thousand a year in savings. to get to economic relief to workers and families, we will make additional tax cuts. that gave us the great economy. make tax cuts permanent. >> lawrence: i want to go back, mark did this report about kamala harris and the report was that she's not going to publicly criticize joe biden and policy, but in private she'll be more critical of the administration and their position. how do you do that in a presidential campaign? like i understand when we're talking about defense and you don't want to criticize an ally publicly, but behind closed doors, you are harsh with them. this is for the american voter. we showed e-mails from voters saying, we're in tough situations right now and many

say the administration has not reflected and said we understand your pain. if she's trying to convince voters she would do something differently, how do you do that privately if she's doing rallies and talking with people on a day-to-day basis, do they expect people not to -- >> ainsley: she was dea and an ag and a senator. she was voted most liberal senator, even more left than bernie sanders. she becomes vice president, and she's 59 years old and she wants us to think she is changing her tune, she had an epiphany? she's been so liberal, she's not changing. these are her beliefs. she was on stage raising her hand at most liberal policies next to bernie. no one else was raising their

hand. she wants medicare for all, take away private health insurance, raise minimum wage, that will hurt small business. she agreed with aoc that said we can tax people at 70 to 90%. she said we need to think about that. something small, possible taking away plastic straws. she loves new green energy thing, she co-sponsored that. she wanted to ban fracking her entire career, now she's saying, i will not ban fracking, no medicare for all. which kamala do you believe? probably the one that vote the last 15 years, right? she's never been a moderate, she can try and steal donald trump's no tax on tips and no fatax on essential security. no one believes she will vote

this. she wants to get into the white house on january 20th and nothe change anything, go liberal. do not get caught up in her flip-flop, look at her voting record. >> will: despite the glossy magazine articles, it is glossing over fractures that may soon come. of course whatever happens to democrats outside on the dnc. to this attempt to distance herself from joe biden, you can't keep under the covers. joe biden, who is a prideful man and angry at this moment, mad at nancy pelosi and barack obama, if she tries to distance herself from joe biden, this will pit demo democratic party against itself and glossy covers, i would like to think it is going to be

exposed. like three weeks until early voting. some point we have to get to the truth. >> ainsley: votes she had, she had to get out of the race when she ran for president last time. >> lawrence: she will have to do interviews, crunch time after debate, follow-up and questions. kamala harris we all know is activist type candidate, meaning she does not flush out ideas. most radical position, she raises her hand. >> ainsley: bet she won't anymore. >> lawrence: when you get her to talk about that policy, how do you get medicare for all? she doesn't know how to put it out to voters. we'll be following, hope she does a news conference, she did promise an interview with a big network by end of the month, we look forward to that. >> will: end of the month?

let's check in with todd piro, he's at iowa state fair, talking about economy and state of the race. good morning. >> todd: good morning, guys. there is a reason both presidential candidates, harris and trump picked midwestern politicians to be their runningmates. midwest swing states could decide who next president is. what better place to talk to voters as we approach november. >> are you going to vote? >> yes, trump. >> do you have a preferred candidate? >> a strong republican. >> it is not kamala. >> why isn't it kamala? >> just look at her policies. >> what policies? >> exactly. >> you are not for ump tr, are you for kamala? >> well, yeah. >> what do you like about kamala's policies? >> i have not heard them yet much, i might change my mind. >> what issues are important to you as we head into november?

>> you know, this is the same we see everyday, economy, border. >> inflation ataxes are up, things were great when trump was in office. now a vice president running for president and we have no clear agenda of her policies. >> todd: we hung out with the iowa governor reynolds, we had fun and talked politics. that is coming up, do not miss it. >> will: we'll be watching. todd from the state fair. fox news alert anti-israel protesters clash with police overnight causing thousands of dollars in damage to new york city restaurant. >> ainsley: protesters raging in the street, sounding horns and firing smoke bombs during after party following a harris-walz event earlier in the day. >> lawrence: they even stormed the inside of this private

restaurant, calling mayor eric adams and kathy hochul. police say at least 14 pre protesters were taken into custody. >> will: not that long ago, you saw something similar on college campuses. the latest on that front, columbia university president minouche shafik has resigned as president of columbia. fourth ivy league university president to resign in the wake of what we saw since spring. she wrote, it is difficult to overcome divergent views. i've tried to uphold academic principles and treat everyone with fairness and compassion, do everything we can to resist polarization. >> ainsley: the lady who takes

her place, the ceo of irving medical center. you have ushgpenn and harvard and cornell stepping down and now columbia because they did not defend jewish students on campus. jewish students, you were out there, lawrence, they couldn't get to class. >> lawrence: they took over buildings and i've been out and talked to protesters that say they are for the palestinian people. when you talk to them, they deny october 7 happened. denied abuse of women and children. my problem with these i guess universities and having them resign or fired is that it does not cut out the cancer that lives on those universities. just because you replace deans and college presidents, the

issue is still there. the professors are still teaching this antisemitic garbage on the campus and the students are still there p protesting. one student at columbia refuse to back down and he talked about the path forward. watch. >> like we saw over the course of all of last year, dangerous rhetoric turns into actual danger. violent and dangerous rhetoric turns to violence, those things need to be shut down. i'm looking for communication and clarity on what the policies are, what are policies they have been discussing all summer and how will they be implemented? we can't forget how they will be implemented and how will ac accountability happen? if there is no accountability, i am scared to go back on campus, we saw what happened last

spring. i'm looking to the future and hoping we can start strong this fall. protesters are saying they will not let up and that is scary, if we can have strong leadership and put a foot down and hold people accountable, we may have a chance. >> lawrence: that is just it, will, like there hasn't been consequences for protesters, even the ones, we had live coverage of what was happening in the middle of the night leading into the morning of the show and people arrested were back on the street within hours. >> will: so few were students. i know several families dropping their kids off at college campuses, school is starting and parents are dropping students off. you can't feel completely comfortable with this environment. >> ainsley: no, especially when you are spending top dollars to

go to an ivy league school or each a state 62ing. in new york, a lot of people are jewish and i was talking to parents last semester bringing their kids home from school, especially girls, they told their daughters not to wear their star of david necklaces. so sad. >> lawrence: the conversation will shift to how can you in good conscious give your money to these universities? once that changes, we'll have a real conversation. next story, disney is trying to have a widower wrongful death lawsuit dismissed after his wife died from allergic reaction while eating at a restaurant in disney springs. they say he can't sue because he signed up for disney +, the streaming anticipate.

binding arbitration dispute, clas action waiver must be resolved by arbitration and moved out of court. picallo attorneys say that is absurd, writing the notion terms agreed to when creating free trial would bar that right to jury trial with any disney s subsidiary is unreasonable and unfair as to shock judicial conscious and this court should not enforce such agreement. he is seeking more than 50,000 and will be in court in october. >> ainsley: multi billion dollar company, he is asking for $50,000, not a lot to disney. now he will get all this attention, it makes disney look bad. his wife died.

>> lawrence: makes every customer aware, it is a big scam. part of fine prints, you don't want customers to know about the fine print, we would never have known -- >> will: some disney lawyer was too smart by half. i'll pay the 50,000, that is what i would give to the lawyer. >> ainsley: assign up for one thing disney and covers them. if you go to a disney theme park, you are in you believe tr, you signed up for a free trial for a month. what does disney app have to do with a lady dying on disney property. >> lawrence: will, you are the lawyer, we are upset with disney after this and want to cancel our subscription. we're done. >> ainsley: you are locked in.

is so great, why try to run away from it? that is main question. they are go ing out today, will appear together, have not done that much since the huge democratic switch. there are reports biden is still feeling angry about what ha happened. it is clear that kamala harris has been planning for something like this for a while. if you look at time magazine cover story, it said harris had list of delegates and labor leaders, just happened to come in handy when the big switch happened. as far as record, biden record is the harris record. if you are unhappy with prices

were encountered once they reached orbit and quite a few issues popped up. would you feel safe with that many issues on the starliner? >> what people need to understand, the two astronauts are test pilots, best place to test is outer space so you understand how things are functioning. when you understand what is going on, there are perhaps ways to fix through software and more testing. nasa and boeing understand c concept of failure fail safe, if we have failure, we can still operate. if we have a second failure, we will be safe. as long as butch and sunny know what is going on and they are t tr transparent with the issues,

may not relate to that, one thing people can relate to, having rooted our value and worth in something that was temporary. when i was came i had to give that crown back, the thing i worked so hard for, it left me in an identity crisis. i was not sure who i was without that. maybe that is a career decision for somebody, maybe unrealized dream for some of your viewers. so many parents ship their kids off to college for the first time in 18 years and might feel emptiness, wondering what now. my purpose was driving themselves to college and giving up that crown moment was that moment for me. >> ainsley: you had stage managers, you had personal managers, social media manager,
