>> lawrence: buckle up 6:00 a.m. on the east coast and it's friday, august the 30th. this is "fox & friends." fox news alert, a dallas police officer is killed and two others arrested hospital overnight after a chase ends with what witnesses describe as a flurry of gunfire. we'll have a live report on that. >> steve: plus, flip flop fallout. kamala harris is defending her changing positions on a couple of issues in her first interview since becoming the democratic nominee for american president. >> i think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed. >> steve: we didn't see that answer coming. republican national committee co-chair lara trump is going to respond to that coming up in 20 minutes. >> rachel: we told you about the reported venezuelan gang takeover at apartment complex.

now council woman is speaking out. >> gang has taken over several complexes. they go in, beat up the staff, hold guns to their head. we need our state and federal partners to step in at this point. >> rachel: but the colorado governor is dismissing concerns as her imagination. >> brian: what? >> rachel: "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> lawrence: okay. >> steve: all right there. it was last night. we saw it on cnn. beginning with vice president harris in her first official interview as the democratic presidential nominee. do you know what she did last night? she promised a new way forward. >> one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class. when i look at the is aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the american people, i think that people are ready for a new way forward. day one, it's going to be about

one, implementing my plan for what i call an opportunity economy. i already laid out a number of proposals in that regard. >> rachel: okay. but harris struggled to lay out her day one agenda having difficulty explaining her flip-flopping on policies like ev mandates, fracking and the border. >> i think the -- the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed. have you mentioned the green new deal. i have always believed, and i worked on it, that the climate crisis is real. that value has not changed. my value around what we need to do to secure our border, that value has not changed. >> lawrence: meanwhile harris running mate tim walz addressing his claim that he carried a weapon in war after never actually being in combat. >> we were talking about in this case after a school shooting the idea of carrying these weapons

of war. and my wife told me my grammar is not always correct. if it's not this it's an attack on my children for showing love on me or an attack on my dog. i will not do that another thing i will do is demean another member's service in any way i never have and i never will. >> steve: meanwhile as kamala harris faces criticism for having walz by her side politico is senior campaign official also made the important stipulation that obviously she will do solo interviews, too. so in the future. >> lawrence: there was a lot there. there was a lot not there. to dana's point, i think she will asked first initial question what are you going to do on day one. these are legislative things that you need to go through

congress. you would think after her being president of the senate, she would know that is not something that you accomplish on day one if you got to pass legislation. maybe securing the border. can you do that there is executive action that you can do that take some regulation off. you can do that through executive action. but you cannot do that. walz, i was looking for the moment to say, you know what? to the men and women that i let down in my unit, because i thought i could best serve them in the house. i apologize that i hurt you. i never wanted you guys to feel like i abandoned you. it's clear that i hurt some that would have been perfectly fine. i don't think he would have lost any results as a result of that. people like hearing from politicians i'm sorry i made a mistake. he didn't do that last night. >> rachel: no. i think it would have given him a little more respect for having owned up to that clearly the people that served with him were very offended by. >> lawrence: correct.

>> rachel: the remarks he made. dana bash asked kamala if she is president, why didn't she act on this plan to fix the economy? why is she going to wait until she is president to do it. >> i wonder what you say to voters who do want to go back when it comes to the economy, specifically because their groceries were less expensive, housing was more affordable when donald trump was president. >> well, let's start with the fact that when joe biden and i came in office, during the height of the pandemic, we saw over 10 million jobs were lost. people -- i mean, literally we were all tracking the numbers, hundreds of people a day were dying because of covid. the economy had crashed. in large part all of that because of mismanagement by donald trump of that crisis. prices in particular for groceries are still too high. the american people know it. i know it. which is why my agenda includes

bring down the price of groceries. dealing with an issue like price gouging. >> you have been vice president for three and a half years. the steps you are talking about now, why haven't you done them already? >> well, first of all, we have to recover as an economy. and we have done that. i'm very proud of the work that we have done that has brought inflation down to less than 3%. steve. >> lawrence: she was ready for that. >> steve: they were very rehearsed. they knew how to answer. they knew dana bash would ask about the flip-flopping and gun business and all that other stuff. so they had answered. but, they didn't always square with reality. for instance, when you look at -- and we have got graphic. we have got it over on the big wall right now. what is killing us right now is inflation. it's the cost of everything is 20% higher than it was at the conclusion of the trump administration. when they took office in january of '21. it was at 1.4%.

then, as you can see in the june of '22, it was north of 9%. why was it that high? because, of course, supply chain and a all that other stuff. but also because the economy was flooded with trillions of dollars of government stimulus. and that is why everything went up. because there was so much money available, who actually broke the tie in the senate with the american rescue act? it was kamala harris. she is responsible ultimately for a lot of that money going in. broke the tie in the senate with the fiscal year 2022, 2023 biden budgets which spent a lot of monday we did not have and that has brought us to the place no. doubt about it. what is interesting about the speech, rather, the interview that they did yesterday, it was -- you thought it was short, it was only 27 minutes. it was in that coffee shop in savannah, georgia. and what's interesting, for my money last night, she didn't

have any of those word salads like, you know, the passage of time and stuff like that. >> rachel: a little bit. >> steve: she did zigzag at different times. but i think when you go into something like that, your mandate is don't make any news. talk but don't make any news. >> rachel: in regard she succeeded in some ways. she didn't have any gaffe. the fake campaign of kamala harris where you just install somebody, that's success for them even know no answers change the economy. >> question was the follow-up. the canned line that she has is i know prices have gone up. you know and it i know it. but then when the question is. >> what have you guys done to fix it? she goes well we are already putting this stuff in place. then the question then becomes to the american people do you want to double down? and the campaign -- okay, joe biden had that empathy problem.

he never acknowledged it so clearly they wanted to change with kamala harris to make sure you acknowledge that the people are going through some stuff. okay. i get the change on that. but they have yet to be able to describe how they are going to make life better. do you want to double down on the policy? but she is in a difficult position. because she is still the vice president of the united states. >> steve: sure. >> lawrence: does she want to bash her boss while she has to go to that weekly meeting if they still have it to discuss it or does she want to continue to agree with the course that they have made. >> steve: look that the graphic of the flip-flops. she never directly addressed them as flip-flops. she says i still have the same values. i had a certain position. we're going to talk about fracking in just a moment. but, my point about she knew exactly what she wanted to do. think about the timing. this interview, 27-minute interview dropped on a thursday night before a friday, a holiday friday.

yesterday was one of the biggest travel days of the year. how many people are actually watching. if she really blew it, that would be terrible. if she said something crazy and it's like okay, we're in a hole now. but she didn't because they were very risk averse and to my point about how she didn't say anything crazy or make any big headlines, donald trump put out on truth social boring. which is exactly what the harris campaign would hope for. ains. >> rachel: i think you are right. we are going to get some reaction to this very -- well, we hope significant interview since it's the first ever interview from somebody running for president. we are going to be speaking to j.d. vance a little later in the show at 8:00 a.m. you talked about inflation, steve, you talk about preaching and spending money. s that was component. the other was energy policy, the war on american energy. and kamala -- kamala and joe biden were definitely responsible for that kamala had said i'm against fracking.

now she is for it. so, watch this. flash no and i made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that i would not ban fracking. as vice president i did not ban fracking and as president i will not ban fracking. i made it clear where i stand. we're in 2024. i have not changed my position and i will not change who that position going forward. my values have not changed. i believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. and to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far. the inflation reduction act. what we have done to invest, by my calculation -- probably a trillion dollars over the next 10 years, investing in a clean energy economy, what we have already done creation over 300,000 new clean energy jobs, that tells me from my experience as vice president we can do doo it without banning fracking.

>> lawrence: question becomes were you just backing joe biden's position because he was the commander-in-chief and when you become -- this is why the follow-ups are important. now that you are in the driver's seat now, do we go backed to the past 2019 position of kamala harris? what is this just a he's the boss. he sets the policy agenda. and i'm supposed to back him? we don't know that. >> rachel: by the way, here is her talking about this in 2019. watch this. and then we will come back and talk about it. >> will you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking your first day in office? adding the united states to the list of countries who have banned this devastating practice? >> there's no question i'm in favor of banning fracking. >> rachel: that, to your point, lawrence, that's her in 2019 209 stay saying i am -- my values i am personally against fracking. then in 2020 she was asked about fracking which i guess joe biden did not have quite that position. so she supported his position.

but she is not saying what her position is or why she changed that position. you know, i feel bad for all the workers who are going to lose jobs. changed my mind on climate change. >> lawrence: she says i have not changed. i have not changed my position. >> steve: she has the same values. >> lawrence: if that is the case, then we have no reason to disbelieve that the 2019 position has changed. >> steve: think about it. joe biden is from pennsylvania. and that's why he was not. >> lawrence: of course. >> steve: when he was running in 2020. then, when she joined the ticket. then suddenly, that far left policy of i'm going to -- you know, we are going to just stop fracking that went out the window. now she is -- what we saw last night is she is racing to the middle. >> rachel: yeah. >> steve: and she needs to win pennsylvania. and pennsylvania, frac something very important. >> rachel: she is going to pennsylvania by the way with joe biden. >> steve: right. >> rachel: coming up soon. she is really doubling down on

pennsylvania. i just want to make this point because you said total minutes of this interview. >> steve: 27. >> rachel: 27 minutes. those are 27 prerecorded minutes that they wanted to show you. if cnn was honest, if danna barb was honest she would release the entire interview so we could see everything. i think it's really important to note the american people only saw what cnn and the harris -- and kamala harris wanted them to see. >> steve: right. i think that is the entirety of the interview from what i have read. it will be interesting to see how they do address it. but, to my point about how she is now racing to the middle, she has abandoned that we're not going to do fracking anymore business. because you have to be in the middle to win, to get the independents to win. the other thing is she was fishing around for republican votes because at one point dana bash asked about would you put a republican in your cabinet she said absolutely yes she would.

which goes back to the days when barack obama had norma net that in his cabinet and also george w. bush did, donald trump and barack obama. actually obama did, joe biden didn't a republican in her cabinet if she wins and she hasn't changed -- she is not a flip flopper. she -- >> lawrence: problem running into after they pushed all of the people, obama and company, out of the race back in 2020, the coalesce around joe biden. >> they needed a progressive to be side and side with joe biden. and aoc and bernie sanders thought that kamala harris was one of the most progressive people. either her or elizabeth warren. now she has the opposite problem now. the country is in the middle and they want someone that's more moderate. that's not kamala harris. so we will see this evolution how it plays out. >> steve: kamala harris 2.0.

>> lawrence: exactly. onto the former president now. he could address those fracking remarks during a rally in pennsylvania later today after slamming harris interview last night while campaigning in michigan and wisconsin. >> steve: doug luzader is up early on this friday from washington. good morning, douglas. >> good morning. until yesterday kamala harris was clearly reluctant to engage with reporters. the trump campaign, if anything, has been having more interactions and during a rally yesterday in wisconsin, former president trump credited sized harris for doing a taped interview with cnn and not a live one is it was taped. we are doing it live. why are we doing it live and she is doing it taped? >> that's right. he's real. >> she was sitting behind this desk, massive desk, and she didn't look like a leader to me, i will be honest. i don't see her negotiating with president xi of china. i don't see her with kim jong un like we did with kim jong un. so we're going to have to see

what happens. >> and while trump does lead on issues like the economy and immigration, his campaign is clearly concerned about outteach women. and we saw him yesterday during this town hall event in wisconsin unveil a new policy on fertility treatments going beyond just expressing his support for ivf. >> the trump administration, your government will pay for or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with ivf treatment, fertilization for women. i have been in favor of ivf right from the beginning. >> now, we mentioned that trump was in michigan and wisconsin yesterday. today he heads to pennsylvania where is he very likely to bring up harris' response to that question about her support for fracking, obviously a huge issue in the keystone states. back to you guys. >> steve: it is. it is all about pennsylvania. thank you, sir.

>> rachel: thank you, doug. interesting kamala harris goes into a meeting with xi. is she going to have tim walz with her. i hope not. tim walz is being investigated by congress for hearings for his ties to chinese companies. there is -- in our packet today, we have tim walz, a long-time supporter of medical research institute in the state that has a long track record of clashing with a chinese -- with the chinese military company and industry. so, this guy has strange ties. i would not want him in a meeting with xi. be. >> lawrence: i think the overall point from the former president about strength, that interview did not inspire strength. at best, she looks like an unbaked candidate. politicians doesn't know why she evolved on it. certain answers can you give the american people. hey, i have been vice president for three and a half years. i was a little radical before. i thought things but do you know what?

i want to pass bills. i have learned how to govern. give us something but to pretend like oh my policy positions haven't changed after being so radical i just don't think it's going to cut it result 3459dly what she was trying to do while i was vice president, the loyal vice president to joe biden there is no daylight between us. he said he was the boss and we were on the same page. she says she is ready to change the page, turn the page regarding joe biden. the path forward. and also donald trump. sorntion she tried to do a lot in what i would regard as almost boring zigzaggy way. >> rachel: we will see how the american people take that position. >> steve: if anybody is watching, it's a holiday. >> rachel: it's a great point. fox news alert we have for you. a dallas police officer is dead and two others are hurt after she were shot after responding

to an incident overnight. >> steve: just teenager out of oakland, paris. chanley painter has the story. >> dallas confirming three officers shot in the line of duty around 10:00 p.m. last night. they say officers responding to an officer in distress call near oak cliff community center found the dallas police officer shot in marked patrol car. the arriving officers then exchanged gunfire with an armed suspect at the scene where two more officers were shot. as of right now, bun is in stable condition. one in critical condition and one officer is dead after the shootout, the suspect fled the scene. leading officers on a hay speed chase. the pursuit ended in louisville. according to police, when the suspect exited his vehicle, he had a long gun. officers then fired at him, killing him. >> our department is hurting. we have officers who are injured, who are in the hospital, and we lost one of our own. >> the two wounded police

officers with reportedly life-threatening injuries were taken to separate hospitals while the officer who was taken away was taken to methodist hospital where this video shows dozens of officers, including the honor guard lining the hospital entrance, saluting, paying respects to the fallen officer in what appears to be family members escorted into the building. squat members lined the block emergency lights flashing in that press briefing a couple hours ago, the department spokesperson asked the public, guys, for prayers, as this investigation is ongoing. back to you. >> steve: that's just terrible. >> lawrence: thanks; when i saw the news happen. i got friends dallas cops and very close friends is in the graveyard shift. and i pinged him i was like oh my god, could it be you? i wonder how these family members feel every single time these moments happen, one officer is dead right now. the suspect is dead. so we are going to be following

this story to figure out exactly what happened right there. we also have some cops still in critical condition at the hospital. praying for those cops as well. >> steve: it's awful. >> rachel: absolutely praying for them. kamala harris is telling america weeks ago that biden biden was fit to run for president. apparently she is still standing by it? >> do you have any regrets about what you told the american people? >> no, not at all. not at all. he was the intelligence, commitment and judgment.at c >> lawrence: lara trump reacts to that coming up. ♪ uld reactivate. shingles strikes as a painful, blistering rash that can last for weeks. and it could wake at any time. think you're not at risk for shingles? it's time to wake up. because shingles could wake up in you.

>> steve: after being shielded from the media for over a month vice president harris sat down for a first interview 27 minutes long and said america is ready for a new way forward. >> i'm so proud to be running with tim walz for president of the united states and to bring america what i believe the american people deserve, which is a new way forward and turn the page on the last decade of what i believe has been contrary to where the spirit of our country really lies. >> with the last decade of

course the last three and a half years has been part of your administration. >> i'm talking about an era that started about a decade ago. >> steve: that's kind of a funny moment. let's bring in republican national committee co-chair and trump campaign surrogate lara trump. good morning to you, lara. >> good morning. >> steve: dana bash asked a lot of questions we have been talking about. what's your headline from last night's show? >> honestly, steve, it feels like kamala harris is running for junior class president versus president of the united states. you got no specifics whatsoever. and there was not a moment that i watched that interview and i as an american citizen felt confident this is a person who understands the job of president of the united states, has a true plan of action to do anything for america. would negotiate with the world leaders on behalf of me as a citizen of this country. and i think it's kind of what we have come to expect. she this to have emotional support animal of tim walz with

her for this interview. she had such an opportunity, the first question dana bash asked her what would you do day one? and she had an opportunity to go in-depth with the policy. she said essentially i want to help the comiddle class no. specifics and way achieve that i will tell what you day one she did as vice president alongside vice president. they shut down the keystone pipeline. that took away independence. drove up inflation and hurt, who? the middle and the working classes a lot of platitudes, a lot of word salads, and then if you wanted a real example as to how phony kamala harris is. the moment where she told the story about joe biden calling her, you know, it was a sunday. i was cooking bacon and oh, the phone rang. >> steve: put together a puzzle. >> as though ed mcmahon had just surprised her with showing

up with a giant check. if anyone believes she did not know that there was an orchestrated plan underway to get joe biden out of office and plug her in as their candidate, i have got a bridge and a couple of gold watches to sell you, steve. >> steve: in times square i saw those yesterday. sound bite. we have all seen joe biden's decline over the last year or so. but she has been steadfast before he dropped out. she said no, he is completely with it. watch this. >> after the debate, you insisted that president biden is extraordinarily strong. given where we are now. do you have any regrets about what you told the american people? >> no, not at all. not at all. i have spent hours upon hours with him being in the oval office or the situation room. he has the intelligence, the commitment, and the judgment and disposition that i think the american people rightly deserve

in their president. >> steve: you know what, laura, joe biden was in bad shape. the "new york times" to their credit yesterday, ran an item that said essentially, you know, we heard that the top -- the top advisers for biden went and talked to the senators. and at the senate meeting, apparently senator jack reed said if joe biden wanted to stay in the office, he should submit to an examination by two independent neurologists who are willing to report their finding at a live news conference. and apparently the extraordinary thing about that was everybody around said joe has got go. but joe biden's advisers never told joe biden the senate wanted him to go. it wasn't until chuck schumer showed up at the beach house ons weekend where he goes what do you mean they didn't tell you? everybody wants you to go? so he was in bad shape, that's my point. >> well he is in bad shape right now, steve, he is on the beach. he has been on vacation for two

weeks. who is running the country? and what you heard there from kamala harris, i think is, very important. no, she has no regrets, america, about lying to you about the cognitive ability ever the current president of the united states. he is not up to the job of president. that is very scary. we tried to call this out during the election in 2020 and warned people this we'll be back problematic in this country. here we are with inept president doesn't seem to be on the job whatsoever. you want to kamala harris who lies about and continues to lie about it an opportunity? i don't think so. the american people deserve better. they deserve someone who dey one can do the job, who has done the job and that's president donald j. trump. >> steve: speaking of donald trump, yesterday he made a statement nobody saw this coming he says if he wins he would make ivf free. didn't say how it would work or who would pay for it. where did that come from? >> well, i'm sure donald trump, unlike kamala harris, will

actually articulate the ways in which he will go about doing such a thing. here's what the democrats are running on, steve. they are running on emotion, vibes and abortion. you saw the mobile abortion van that they had at the dnc. could get a taco and abortion right outside. really nice. wow, what great thing for america. that's what they are running on and they continue to lie about donald trump and his stance on abortion and ivf. donald trump has said multiple times i will not sign a federal abortion ban. they continue to lie about that. they continue to lie as did tim walz in his speech at the dnc about donald trump's stance on ivf. donald trump wants more babies in america, not fewer. he is very pro-the miracle that ivf has given to so many families across this country. and he wanted to make his stance on that explicitly clear. and that's why he talked about it. >> steve: he did, indeed. i'm sure we will hear more details as the weekend approaches. thank you for joining us on this friday. >> you got it, thanks a lot. >> steve: all right.

6:34 now here in new york city. the murder trial of a 24-year-old grad student now underway after she was stabbed 26 times in broad daylight in los angeles. our next guest says with at least 11 arrests, the suspects never should have been on the streets in the first place. ♪

well, almost nobody.

♪ >> so the murder trial of 24-year-old ucla student brianna koepfler was stabbed 26 times in broad daylight in 2022 is underway accused sean smith who police say was homeless at the time has a wrong rap sheet with arrests going back to 2010. the next guest is running for l.a. district attorney nathan i

want to play some sound from the trial as the prosecutor lace out how brutal and brutal was. let's watch it? >> the evidence will demonstrate that the defendant attacked brianna with such force, with such determination, with such frequent and numerous swings of this knife that he bent the steel blade. >> he attacked her so hard that he bent the knife. nathan? >> yeah. no. this is a brutal murder. i mean, shawn laval smith according to the prosecution in opening statement was a transient, you know, who had been over a decade long criminal history and stabbed brianna cupper 26 times they found the knife with his d.n.a.

he made a audio recording. she is pleading with him that she can actually help him. as is he stabbing her he is saying it's over, it's over, it's over. shawn laval smith should never have been on the streets that day. he had a rap sheet going back a decade. and if the prosecutors at the time had been doing their job, and he had been arrested on his outstanding warrants, he would not have been in the furniture store that day to kill brianna kupper. >> it's unbelievable. when you look at the crimes in l.a. county though. as you look at all these mug shots. this really shows someone -- is this someone that is redeemable? is this someone that has turned their life around? obviously not. when you look at the violence crime though, it's up 12%. robberies are up 16%. property crimes up 20%. shopliftings are up 133%. auto theft 23%. and the burglaries are up 8%. but, when you hear people on a

national scene, they say that crime is down, nathan. >> well, let's just say that crime could be down in other cities or other counties but it is not in los angeles county. we have had d.a. george gascon for the last three and a half years pro-criminal anti-victim policies in l.a. d.a. history. the california department of justice came out with those statistics. lie and claims. gaslighting the claims that george gascon has made crime is down. because crime is up in every single category. whether it's violent crime, property crime. shoplifting is up over 133%. since he has been in office. hate crimes, fentanyl poisons, even the capital of human trafficking. his record is a record public safety failure. >> lawrence: yeah. they failed us all. they failed the young lady's family by not bringing a man like that to justice before he committed a crime like that. and they are failing citizens

raach rach we showed that you terrifying footage from an apartment complex in aurora, colorado, that residents say has been overrunned by armed venezuelan gang members. now their mayor is speaking out. listen. >> the city of aurora needed everything we could to, quite frankly, keep them out of the city, because it's not our problem. this is a federal problem. this is a problem born by the federal government. what i think we are trying to find out and what i believe occurred was that federal agencies worked with some of our local nonprofits and put them there. >> rachel: despite all.

this colorado's democrat governor is dismissing the threat saying it's just their imagination. national border patrol council vice president art del cueto is here with action. i looked into the story deeper. it's actually much more troubling than even we described there in the intro. these gang members have actually -- they have commandeered this building. they are charging rent to the tenants who are remaining. so some of the tenants are like i'm out of here. they have replaced them with other mostly illegals, and they are actually acting as if they are the landlords. and, yet, the governor is saying that the city council members and the residents who are calling this out are just making the city look bad. what's your take on this? whose responsibility is this? >> well, i think everybody in leadership's responsibility at this point. but, look, sounds like the governor is taking, you know, a page right out of the playbook of the biden harris administration where they are

going to deny it and ignore it and hope it goes away. i got news for him. just like the problems at the border, this isn't going to go away. and, you know, as soon as, you know, these criminals realize nothing is going to happen, there's no consequences, there is more and more that are going to be attracted to this area. more and more. they are just going to continue to do this until they take care of the problem. and i understand where, you know, some people are saying it's a federal problem. well, it was a federal problem because they were lacking of doing anything about it. but now it's become everybody's problem. it's got to be an all-hands approach in order to fix it. >> rachel: i think what i'm hearing you say is that the root cause of this is our open border policy? >> that's what it comes down to. and it's going to continue to happen because criminal cartels hey you can go to america, come one, come all, it's a free for all. once you get there continue your criminal enterprise and no one is going to do anything about it. >> rachel: venezuela will not take any of their citizens, including their criminals back. they are stuck here once we let them. in it's really tragic.

shame on the governor of colorado. let's move to this because last night, kamala harris said that her values have not changed on the border issue. and she suggesting now that we need to secure the border. so, let's talk about what she said before in 2019. listen. >> i am in favor of saying that we're not going to treat people who are undocumented cross the border criminal. >> raise your hand if you think it should be a civil offense rather than a crime to cross the border without documentation? can we keep the hands up so we can see them? [applause] >> rachel: now, kamala campaign is saying. this they are saying unauthorized border crossings are illegal. here's another one, art. she says, you know, that she didn't -- doesn't think -- she actually says we should keep funding or refund border security. here she is in 2019 saying that we should close detention

centers, ice detention centers. listen. >> when you become president, will you be committing to close immigration detention centers? >> absolutely on day one. >> rachel: so absolutely on day one. and now the campaign is saying that she wants to ensure compliance with immigration decisions including removal. what's your reaction to that, art? >> you know. i want to say i'm shocked. but i'm not. nothing shocks me anymore from this administration. they will say anything they can in order to garnish some votes. and it's just amazing to me what does amaze me and shock me the amount of people sit there and see it on different parts of social media that will argue and say hey, you see these people do care. they will point at republicans and trump and say he destroyed a border bill back and forth when, in reality are foe three and a half years, they have ignored

anything that's been happening on the border. they have not even reached out to the border patrol council to find out what really is needed on that border. these individuals don't care. they're in it for themselves and they will say anything they can just to get votes to remain in office. the reality, is this mess that we have continued to see is caused by their inaction on what is happening at the border. >> rachel: all right. art del cueto, by the way, interesting this week that they have restarted the program of flying people from central america, cuba and venezuela if they apply in country. they are flying them over to our country. i have no idea why they have restarted that on the same week that they are saying that they are for border security. strange. all right, art del cueto, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> you got it. steve? >> all right, rachel. thank you very much. we got some shed lines for you on this friday mornings. 7-eleven store in manchester
