griff: if former president trump

will hold a rally in pennsylvania later today, this after vice president harris unveiled her ambitious economic plan. harris is also slated to visit the keystone state tomorrow with her running mate, tim walz. welcome to to "fox news live," i'm griff jenkins. great to be with you, molly. molly: good to be with you, i'm molly line. harris will officially accept the democratic nomination monday while trump is expected to hold several events next week to counter that convention is. alexis mcif adams is live in wilkes barre, pennsylvania, with more on what we expect to hear from former president trump later today. >> reporter: hey, molly and griff. we know the former president's going to talk about a wide range of topics, some like maybe the border, but he's also going to focus in here in this swing state on inflation and the economy. it's something everybody talks about a out here. we talked to voters in the crowd, they say things are just costing more and more, but they want trump to stick to policy,

not personal attacks. listen. do you want president trump to hit more on policy or personal attacks? >> definitely policy. i think it's important to try to reach out to the suburban moms. i think there was a time for personal attacks -- >> i don't think personal attacks benefit him. he's got great policies. he did great things in four years. the economy -- make america great again, that's what he needs to focus on. >> reporter: right now former president trump is leading in this race by 11 percentage poin, sitting at 50% with kamala harris at 49%. but a new quinnipiac university poll has vice president kamala harris, you guys, with a slight edge over former president if donald trump in pennsylvania it's a state they're both trying really hard to win over. we see it on a weekly basis pretty much with both the candidates and their vp picks. in a hypothetical with two-way race, harris still has a3-point

lead, 50-47, so that's something new that we're watching. no matter the polling, these candidates have very different campaign strategies. you don't have to look very far to figure that out. president trump talks to the press all the a time, he takes questions, then takes more questions when you think about he's about to be done. vice president harris has not taken any interviews. voters say stick to the policies, the economy, the border and crime because things are costing more. >> i think the economy is way out of whack right now. and the border, i don't know, letting all those people come through here and we're witnessing what's happening. >> reporter: i did think it was interesting though just talking to people about the topics they care about a, it changes kind of where you are on the trail, griff and molly. but they just want to the hear what he thinks about those policies that they think he's really strong on. they don't want to hear attacks on kamala harris, so we'll have to see what he does today. back to you.

molly: alexis mcadams, thanks. griff? griff: president biden is spending the weekend at camp david following vice president harris' speech on her economic agenda thats has garnered a lot of reaction and even sparked some criticism from economists on the left. lucas tomlinson is live outside the white house tracking out all. hey, lucas. >> reporter: that's corrects criticism poured in rather quickly after vice president kamala harris made a campaign stop in in the where she admitted that prices now are much higher than when president trump was in office. >> and i will work to pass the first ever federal ban on price gauging on foosmed prices are still too high. a loaf of bread costs 50 more today than it did before the pandemic -- 50. ground beef is up almost 50%. many of the big food companies are seeing their highest profits in two decades.

and while many grocery chains pass along these savings, others still aren't. >> reporter: here's some reaction earlier on fox, those e comments from the vice president. >> most of the time right now in restaurants, restaurants are actually breaking even at best. but let's talk about the large food corporations. i mean, 1-3% on the margins, we all have heard that number over the past couple of days, so i want to understand where the gouging is. have is any of these government officials run businesses successfully? most of the time it's, no. >> reporter: "the washington post" editorial page was critical of the speech from the vice president saying vice president kamala harris' speech friday was an opportunity to get specific with voters about a how a harris presidency would manage an economy that many feel is not working well for them. unfortunately, instead of delivering a substantial plan she squandered the moment on populist gimmickings, even adjusted for the pandering standards the of campaign

economics, however, ms. harris' speech friday ranks as a disappointment. and, griff, there's also a popular song hitting the charts, i think you know which one i'm talking about, which talks about gasoline and groceries. the list goes on and on. so these high prices are affecting pop culture as well. griff? if. griff: the bar song -- >> reporter: there we go. industry griff look at that, lucas. pop culture and tying it all to the economic realities of the times we live in concern. >> reporter: everybody's feeling it. griff: lucas tomlinson live on the north lawn, thanks. molly? molly: all right. for more on the 2024 race, let's bring in our political panel. with us today is the america first policy institute chief communications director marc lotter and democratic analyst ari aramesh. thank you, gentlemen, for joining us on this saturday afternoon. we greatly appreciate your time. ari, i want to start with you. we've had a lot of sunday from kamala harris trying to explain her effort to about what she's

going to do a little bit different or what she wants to do with the economy but, of course, a lot of critiques as a well from the other side of the aisle. here's jodey arrington, republican from texas. take a listen. >> she was also acting as the economic arse arsonist in chief and then trying to show none a fire fighter uniform much like -- show up in a a fire fighter uniform much like she's trying to do in north carolina to extinguish the flames of inflation that she set ablaze along with her aecom public, joe biden, because of their unbridled spending and their failed economic policies. molly: i mean, is this just one of the great challenges of being the vice president in an administration that's currently working right now in an economy the way it is? you're thoughts. -- your thoughts. >> well, she can take credit for some of the major gains and achievements of this administration economicically. we have historic employment in this country. under the trump administration, we had historian or to havic unemployment. now the rate is its lowest in 54

years. but let me go back to the what you just said both in sort of your opening and also in the package before. if the republicans want to lose this one as well as they did in 2020, as they did in the midterms in 2018 and then 2022, keep on going with those personal attacks. even congressman arrington, when he's talking about economic policy, calling somebody the arsonist in chief, calling kamala harris' running mate tampon tim, calling -- going for these personal attack thats, questioning -- attacks, questioning vice president harris' heritage, is she indian, is she black, not only are they not going to get more votes, they're going to alienate decent, independent voters. so, mr. trump, keep on doing what you're doing. we're going to beat you again. molly: marc, take a listen to how she explains her effort to rein in price gouging when it

comes to groceries. >> i will work to pass the first ever federal ban on price gauging on food. [applause] my plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules, and we will support smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the rules and get ahead. molly: yeah, she's been critiqued on throughout our reporting, we've talked about some of these headlines about this being a gimmick and that it's being compared to price fixing. your thoughts on what she's unveiled on this particular aspect which has gained so much attention, this part of her plan. >> it's an economic plan that fails basic economics. i mean, even the federal reserve out of san francisco did a report that said price gouging, corporate greed are not to blame for the increase in prices under kamala harris and joe biden. and when even barack obama's

former top economic adviser calls this a bad idea, you know it's a bad idea. look, kamala harris, joe biden, their mismanagement of the economy caused this sky-high inflation, the gas prices, the grocery prices that have americans struggling. there's no way the american people are going to hire the person that a broke it to try to fix it. molly: well, kamala harris has been climbing in the polls since the shift was made in this race. and some of these key swing states as well. if we take a look at the polling, north carolina and arizona, she'sic thed up those numbers. -- she's tick thed up those numbers. now the dnc right around the corner, and fox news polling has shown she's doing very, very well with women. where she stands in this race as she has yet to give the interview or the press conference that we're waiting for, ari. >> you know, why should she give an interview when she's riding high? i think she should ride her popularity, enjoy the moment. there's plenty of chances for press concerns.

this has a lot to do also with donald trump. donald trump has never if been a popular candidate. he had reached a ceiling in 2016, lost the popular vote. again, hit his ceiling in 2020, lost both the popular and the electoral votes. donald trump has a ceiling. our problem with president biden was he had become the issue. his age, his inability to show energy and to be coherent, every time someone becomes the issue in an election, they lose. hillary's e-mails, 2016. donald trump, the person himself, in 2020. and then 2024 was going to be joe biden. we have turned the tables now on the republicans. again, it is about trump, it's about four years of chaos, it's about four years of -- molly: marc, i want to give you some time here to also respond to these poll numbers. your thoughts on kamala harris as she climbs in the polls and what that means. >> she's still losing. let's be very honest about this. despite a one-month if honeymoon, she is still performing five to six points

below where joe biden was in 2020 the both nationally and senate swing states. and let's not forget, 2020 the came down to43,000 votes in 3 sates. if she is underperforming by 5-6 points, it's a blowout in favor of donald trump. million million all right, marc lotter, ari aramesh, thank you both so much for giving us your thoughts on this saturday afternoon. >> good to see you. >> good to be with you. ♪ griff: new body camera footage reveals the moment tulsa police officers confronted the migrant accused of raping and killing a maryland mother. victor mart if necessary if hernandez was found in an oklahoma bar back in june, ten months after police say he murdered rachel morin. authorities say the 23 yielder suspect entered the u.s. illegally from el salvador last year. so for more on the uptick in migrant crime, we're joined by former acting director of i.c.e. and former chief of border

patrol ron vitiello. ron, thank you for taking time. the body cam footage is fascinating, and we often hear critics of the administration's border policies citing rachel morin's tragic death or laken riley or 12-year-old jocelyn jocelyn nungaray. but the numbers we saw late yesterday, cbp dropped the actual border encounter numbers for the month of july, and we can show them to you. they're quite low. you see 104,000 july encounters. the fiscal year to date is 1.925, you know, almost 32% million. -- the 2 million. we'll hit that soon enough. you look back at 2023 and 202232 which are under the biden-harris administration, more than 32 the million, 22.475 and -- 2 2.475, unprecedented numbers never hit. so, ron, is this good news? should the administration be patted on the back for lower numbers now in july?

or is there a larger story? >> absolutely not. we are still in the worst crisis on our southwest border of illegal migration, of terrorist encounter, of human trafficking, of cartel enrichment. we still have the worst crisis on our southwest border that we've ever seen. yeah, we might get to 2 million which the biden administration is lower than we've seen in their history so far, but there's still more than the border patrol agents and front-line people can do at our southwest border because we're still in record territory. and you're likely to pointout laken riley and rachel mayor run and -- morin and other victims. people who have come into the country, went to communities and towns mere us and did horrific things to our citizens. so there's still a crisis on the southwest border, and now that we're in the campaign, we can see there's a contrast between what's happened the last four years and what happened the previous four years. and i think people can agree

that we were much safer under the trump administration when border encounters were at 50-year lows and illegal migration across the southwest border, less human trafficking, less death and destruction at the border itself and in to our communities. griff: and lifelong, career border officials like yourself and others like former chief rodney scotch, chief ortiz and even the current chief, jason owens, we all have understood the message from you guys saying that as the administration began to the change policies -- undoing remain and mexico and the others -- it affected it. but there was always an unspoken red line, and that was the mass release of single adult males. and if many of them, yourself, i believe, included, said that's a place we've never been and don't want to be because of the consequences. now we're seeing the consequences. not just rachel or morin's death, but almost on a daily or certainly weekly case of these

single adult males that were released that have become a threat to communities and society. and you look at as two days ago i was reporting on a peruvian gang leader who goes by john franco 23 by peru officials because that's the number of individuals he's alleged to have killed in his home country. he came across in may, was released with a notice to appear the same day, and then i.c.e. learned in july that he was wanted for homicide. so i.c.e. goes out and rearrests him and brings him into custody where he is now in removal proceedings. but you look at some of the comments that vice president harris has made in the past particularly when she was running in the primary and made statements like this, watch. >> a lot of the signs at the rally were people standing there saying, abolish i.c.e. >> yeah. >> is that a position that you

agree with? >> listen, i think there's no question that we've got to critically re-examine i.c.e. and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing, and we need to probably think about starting from from scratch. because there is a lot that is wrong with the way that it is conducting itself, and we need to deal with that. griff: to be fair, it's unclear what harris' current thinking is as she hasn't done a one-on-one interview in 27 the days nor a press conference where we could ask those things. but when you look at the consequences we're dealing with now and comments back then, what do you make of it, ron? >> i believe what she says. she wanted to aa bollish i.c.e. before she wanted to aa bollish the police. she was the border czar, she was going to work on root causes. none of that has happened. under her leadership we've had the worst crisis on the southwest border that we've ever seen. and that doesn't just mean if illegal migrants in record numbers. that's bad enough. but record criminals, record deaths of people trying to come across the border, record

encounters with terrorists. and in the beginning of the administration, we'll remember, griff, that she failed to call this a crisis. and if then a crisis in del rio, texas, when the border patrol was accused of doing terrible things to haitian migrants, she threw those agents right under the bus as quickly as she could just like she throw the work force under the bus when i was testifying in my confirmation hearing. is she has no yesterday about -- credibility on this issue, and you're right to mention the career officers who are speaking out and saying the tools that exist to fix this problem were given to them turned the previous president, trump. and -- give those tools back because the front line knows how to solve this problem. they're not being allowed because of the you were current administration including kamala harris. griff: and lastly, speaking of harris, ron, i want to show you the first part of a quote from the trump campaign. karoline leavitt, the spokeswoman, i put it out just a few hours ago. she says this: kamala harris is directly responsible for the

rapes, murders and assaults of innocent women perpetrated by illegal aliens who are in our country because of her open border policy. the question is, does she bear responsibility? >> she absolutely does. president biden put her in charge of working on the prop problem of illegal migration. where are the results? it's gotten worse every day they've been in office. she refused to call it a crisis. she threw the employees in the government under the bus. there's no record of success in her, with her on this issue, and so i don't believe now that she's going to get, all of a sudden she's going to get tough on the border outside of the campaign context. griff: we'll see what she has to say about the border and what she would do as president once we finally get that press conference or a one-on-one interview. ron vitiello, former bp if chief and i.c.e. directer, thank you very much for taking time. >> thank you, griff. griff: meanwhile, another problem driven by the border crisis is fentanyl. fox's -- fox fox nation's

thank you. molly? molly: with continuing unrest in the middle east, college campuses across the nation are bracing for more anti-israel protests at universities such as columbia which are limiting access to campus and preparing other safety measures as their fall semesters begin to get underway. for more on safety on campus, let's bring in a rising senior at columbia, the president of columbia's chapter of students supporting israel. eden, thank you so much for joining us here. we're on thes cusp of a new semester. you are rather bravely, considering everything that unfolded during the spring semester, going back to columbia. i want to get your thoughts on really a number of things that happened. first, the columbia president resigned, not fired, and you've had some interesting communication with the school since then or perhaps it's better to say lack of communication. but your thoughts on how things have unhold inned, the resignation and what this all means, where things stand today. >> absolutely. thanks, molly are. well, look, right off the bat i

think a major takeaway from the resignation of columbia's president is that enabling anti-semites if on campus is a job killer, plain and simple. but to give you a little bit more nuance, i would say this certainly is not the antidote to the culture of anti-semitism and really underpinning of anti-western and anti-american sentiment that is accelerating on campuses like columbia. it's certainly a necessary step in the right direction towards restoring our campus to an environment in which jewish and israeli students, but really all students, can learn free from disruption, intimidation and harassment. and really to restoring our university to the former beacon of higher education that it not so long ago was. and i appreciate the president's decision to step down, and i certainly don't envy her position. i don't think many people want to be a university president at a time like this, but that's because of the institution thal failures of universities like columbia. we've allowed this culture to

the brew below the surface for decades, and that's why so many students and faculty feel so empowered to be so hateful and so disruptive. and and so -- molly: she certainly wasn't the only, yeah, the only president to resign. colleges are prepping for the fall, and they're taking some actions. heavy got some plans in place. -- they've got some plans in place. harvard plans to ban overnight campus, and in indiana limit protest hours, keeping students away from buildings. columbia saying they're going to be restricting some campus access. many others are going to be the putting limits on tents, on loud music, on banners. but this was what one columbia student protester had to say. quote, we are committed to continuing our activism because we understand that it is not just one individual, but the entire institution that is complicit in the ongoing genocide. when you hear the passions from this anti-israel group that continue, what do you expect to see in the fall? what are you concerns? >> it's a great question, and

i'm very concerned that the fall's actually going to be just as bad if not worse as the spring semester because, like you shared, these groups have vowed that they will continue to escalate by any means necessary. those are their words, not mine. and i think, again, it really goes back to a lack of enforcement of policies and a lack of accountability on behalf of the universities. and if these are universities that, like i said, are fundamentally broken. we recently saw reports of faculty members at columbia that were involved in this illegal encampment, you know, that they're on the rules committee of the university setting which is the judicial -- the largest judicial board at the university. so i don't really see a path forward in restoring our campus to the one in which we can at the bare minimum literally attend class, because that's not something we were able to do in the spring because of these protesters and because of the administration's inaction. and when we have faculty members that are participating in this

disruption and in this intimidation of jewish and israeli students, when we have them on the rules committee of the largest judicial board at the university, i don't see a path forward. i'm very concerned. molly: thank you very much for joining us, expressing your concerns. of course, also about the leadership on campus and some of the ideology the professor ifs may have of. we really appreciate your incite sights, and -- insights, and we wish you a wonderful fall semester. i hope you can safely get to class and your fellow jewish students do the same. >> thank you. griff: meanwhile, the supreme court has denied the biden-harris administration's request to enforce its title ix rules that included protections from discrimination for transgender students. madeleine rivera is live in washington with the latest on this. hi, maddie. >> reporter: hi, griff. the the new title ix rules that the biden administration announced in april expanded protections to include sexual orr orientation and gender

identity for the first time. several republican-led states sued, one of the argument argument as that the rule would allow biological men to play on women's sports teams. >> they didn't use the word athletics, but they couldn't really the deny it applies across the board, and they certainly couldn't carve athletics out without contradicting everything they just did. >> reporter: the biden administration says the regulation doesn't address athletic eligibility. regardless, federal judges sided with several gop-led states in two cases barring the title ix rule from from taking effect entirely even though the challenge is only focused on three provisioners of the measure. the u.s. solicitor general asked the supreme court to step in to reinstate parts of the rule which the states did not oppose. she writing in part, respondents have not challenged the vast majority of those changes. instead, they object to three discreet provisions related to

transgender individuals. in a 5-4 ruling, the high court rejected that request. the unsigned order states in part: in its emergency applications, the government has not provided this court a sufficient basis to disturb the lower court's interim conclusions that the three provisions found likely to be unlawful are intertwined with and affect if other provisions of the rule. what's emerged is a patchwork of organizations in about half of the country's states. the cases will now return to lower appeals courts. griff. griff: madeleine rivera live in washington covering it all for us, maddie, thank you. >> reporter: you got it. molly: new york city mayor eric adams now renewing his support for a face mask ban just day days after a similar law went into effect on long island. adams cited the uptick in criminals using face masks to hide their identity. c.b. cotton is live in new york city with this story. c.b. >> reporter: new york city mayor eric adams shared his views on a radio show this week

saying in part, quote. i think that we need to come up with the right solution to make sure that we stop the use of masks and illegal criminal violent behavior because when you can't see someone's face, someone's eyes, it takes a long time to bring that person to justice. adams says he thinks there should be exceptions for health reasons, and his remarks come just two days after a face mask ban went into effect in one suburban new york county. the bill was signed into law on wednesday by nassau county executive bruce blakeman and does provide exceptions for religious and medical reasons. people will not be arrested simply for wearing a mask, but they could be yesterday by officers. and if a person is found to to be hiding their identity, they could be taken into custody and later face up to the year in jail and a $11,000 fine -- 1,000 fine. >> why would we allow people with masks to harass people and engage in violent acts whether it's graffiti, whether it's some kind of other act of property

damage or anything else? >> reporter: opponents say the ban could unfairly target people though. the nyclu saying in part, quote, such bans jeopardize new yorkers' health and safety. risk selective and is racially-biased enforcement and undermine protections for those engaging in peaceful demonstrations while expressing political opinions that may be unpopular. now, back in june governor cath chi hochul -- kathy hochul shared her support of a face mask ban after a some anti-semitic incidents on the new york city subway. now her stance, though, appears to have shifted, telling the new york post this week that instead she wants harsher penalties for those wearing masks while committing a crime. molly, i want to mention we have reached out to her office for more details, more clarity on where she truly stands on this, and we haven't heard back. back to you. molly: particularly interesting considering all the protests you see in new york city and many of

those protesters wearing masks. c.b. cotton, thank you. griff: hurricane ernesto slammed into bermuda this morning, but he's not done wreaking havoc yet. where he's headed, that's next. ♪ about africa? safari? hot air balloon ride? swim with elephants? wait, can we afford a safari? great question. like everything, it takes a little planning. or, put the money towards a down-payment... ...on a ranch ...in montana ...with horses let's take a look at those scenarios. j.p. morgan wealth management has advisors in chase branches and tools, like wealth plan to keep you on track. when you're planning for it all... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management. after careful review of medical guidance and research on pain relief, my recommendation is simple: every home should have salonpas. powerful yet non-addictive. targeted and long-lasting. i recommend salonpas. it's good medicine. ♪ hisamitsu ♪
