plus, there's no cutting, no surgical scarring and no downtime. i'm so glad i did it. it was successful in every way. to learn more, call today or go to gentlecure.com larry: so kamala says she's a capitalist, but her tax and spend and regulate plan is purely big government socialism, and it ain't gonna work. now, work, david asman working overtime -- [laughter] david: we are working. yeah, maybe i won't have to pay taxes on it, who knows in thank

you very much. i'm david asman in for elizabeth mcdonald, welcome to this special edition of "the evening edit." vice president kamala harris mistake being her first visit to the -- making her first visit to the southern border as democrat presidential nominee, may just be her second time in her life as far as we know as the biden-harris border crisis devastates communities and puts citizens at a growing risk. the numbers that we just got today are absolutely horrific. new data that was just sent to congressman tony gonzalez by i.c.e. shows there are 13,000 convicted murderers who have been released freely into america'sties and towns, almost 16,000 convicted of rape and sexual assault. the total number of criminals who were given free rein to come into our country totals over4 25,000 just roaming around. by the way, that doesn't include i the nearly 22 the ,000

noncitizens with still-pending criminal homicide charges and over 4,000 noncitizens with spend pending sexual assault charges. joining us with reaction from the congressional border security caucus, texas congresswoman monica de la cruz. thank you for being here, congresswoman. if i have to say there does seem to being something about the timing of this release by i.c.e. to coincide with vice president harris' visit at the border. i can imagine a lot of i.c.e. officials are furious at what is going on, and they felt they had to get the numbers out just as she was going to the border. am i wrong in thinking that? >> you are absolutely correct. this is no coincidence. kamala harris sees how her numbers are plummeting, and it is now convenient for her to go check out what's been happening over the last four years at our border. so when it mattered to the americans, when it affected

american cities, she had no interest. but now that her poll numbers are down, she wants to go and pretend like she is for border security. we know she has failed all americans over and over again the last four years. david: by the way, our own bill melugin who covers the border so well for fox, he was at the arizona border pretty close to where she was going. that's a picture of him in december 2023. less than a year ago. there were 17,5090 -- 50toillegal crossings in just one week at that time. and, obvious, as you look through -- of course, as you look through the people who are waiting to get in, they're all strong young men, and that coincides with the figures that we got from i.c.e. these are not the huddled and poor and destitute women and children that the statue of liberty talks about. these are strong young men, and

how many of those guys do have records in and we, we probably didn't know about this at that time when they were allowed in. >> it is absolutely scary who is coming in unvetted. we know that there are tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who have come in that have murder records, sexual assault records, weapons, weapons trafficking records. and you know what? kamala harris is gaslighting americans to believe that she actually cares now when we know, in fact, she is the root cause as she likes to say, the root cause of a failed border policy that is affected all americans and has caused devastation on fentanyl in our country. uni, the holidays are coming up -- you know, the holidays are

coming out, and i sit with moms who are so saddened to have empty chairs at the holiday table because of the fentanyl that has come through our borders because of the failed policies by the biden-harris administration. david: we had your colleague, debbie lesko on yesterday. i just want to play a sound beet and get your reaction. roll it -- sound bite. >> i find it interesting that she's going to douglas, arizona, because there's a great photo of where the wall actually stops, right in douglas, arizona, so that all these illegal migrants can cross right over. and i suppose she's not going to pose in front of that place because it was her and president biden that stopped construction of the border wall. david: have americans forgotten about that, congresswoman, that she was the one making fun of it saying a wall will never work? if. >> you know, again, gotlighting americans. -- gaslighting americans. she doesn't believe in a wall,

now she believes in a wall. she doesn't believe in border security, now she does. i believe that the american people are seeing right through this facade, and that's why president trump will be elected. we know under president trump we had a secure border, we had safe communities, we had border security, national security, and that's why president trump will be elected come november. david: can congresswoman de la cruz, appreciate it. despite widespread criticism, kamala harris is moving ahead full steam with her price-fixing plans. seems hike the vice president might be in the in need of a history lesson. madison alworth is live at gristedes in new york with the latest on this. madison is. >> reporter: hi, david. we're at a grocery store because this has been the focus of that price-fixing issue. and the grocers that i've spoken to, they're really disappointed and upset with kamala harris' policy proposal. they feel unfairly targeted, and

they say that she's placing the blame without having sufficient evidence. even still, kamala harris has a released an 8 822-page -- 8 2-payment if economic plan pushing full steam ahead, calling for a federal ban on alleged price gouging saying, quote, the bill will set rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can't unfairly exploit consumers during times of crisis to run up excessive corporate profits on foods and groceries. finish the campaign pointing to 37 states that have price gouging rules in effect, promising to bring it to the federal level. >> i am a capitalist. i believe -- [applause] in free and fair markets. i believe companies need to play by the rules. respect the rights -- [applause] of workers and unions -- [applause] and abide by fair competition. and if they don't, i will hold them accountable. >> reporter: the food industry

is fired up over the issue saying harris is wrong to blame grocers and noting that nothing about this is fair. they point to the costs of labor and raw materials that they say have spiked during the biden-harris administration as the reason for increased costs. they also note smaller grocers have been getting especially squeezed with the national grocers' association reporting privately-owned stores saw a profit of. 1.4 percent last year down from 5. this feels like playing the blame on the wrong teem. >> -- people. >> i believe president biden and vice president harris have no clue of what's actually going on in our cities and our states. they should go. look, we have certified public accountants that get paid to do our financial statements. look at our financial statements. if you think we're price gouging, we should be making a lot of money, but most of us are losing money. so what do you do then?

>> reporter: all in all, prices at the grocery store since january of 20221 is, they're up. but grocers say it is the not because they're turning more profits considering profits are actually down. david? david: madison alworth, thank you fortune very much for that. fox news contributor liz peek joins us now for more. how many times does it have to be said, rise rising prices are not the ca cause of inflation, they are the result of inflation. inflation is the result of government spend, of government spending more money than they have, and they try to print more money to make up for it. that makes the money in your pocket if worth less, and that's why you can't afford to buy as much. >> without a doubt, david. this whole price gouging thing is so nonsense call. and, you know, a lot of people, including myself, have gone back to john catsimatidis and looked at margins on grocers, margins on food producers. no one has a seen their margins go up. it is the most ridiculous thing.

look, the biden white house has overseen a ridiculous amount of inflation. they pushed so much money into the economy that the price of everything went sky high, and they are to blame. and you can track it. you can track when they passed and started to spend the $11.trillion -- 1.9 trillion american rescue act which we didn't need. we didn't need rescuing. david: yeah, that's where it started. and, of course, she's doubling -- her plans are doubling down on that. i mean, she's going full bore. mitch landrieu, who works on kamala harris' campaign, said the following. relate me just play that and get your reaction. roll tape. >> notwithstanding how strong the chi is, many, if many people are getting left behind. and she is going to focus on helping people lower costs. david: first of all, he said the economy's doing fine. most americans don't feel that. secondly, she's going to lower costs by massively increasing the government. larry got into a lot of this,

larry kudlow, but we have a full screen. just saying all of the areas in which she is doubling down on bidenomics, higher taxes, $5 trillion, new and bigger entitlements, new spending in the trillions on that this. more transfer of payments, that is like from the covid bill. more housing subsidy. of course, wee kno -- we know her $25,000 grant which would just raise prices for everybody. more student loan forgiveness where you have the middle class paying for the well thicker more government control of health care. we're getting closer to socialized medicine. more industrial policy. the chips act, worked so well, the $280 billion chips act. that's' why intel is now failing. [laughter] price controlsing as we just talked about. more union gifts and more green energy. we already have $1.2 trillion in the i. r. a. pipeline, and she's going to get more of that. how could that do anything but increase inflation even more in. >> it will increase inflation. but it also makes our economy

less product if i, less efficient. putting the government in charge of more and more of our economy is what has happened under biden and under harris. and what harris clearly wants to do, just basically means more bureaucrats involved in making important decisions. to your point, take a look at the chips act. we don't back -- the government doesn't back winners and losers, david, they back losers. and time and again taxpayers are on the hook for decisions that are made in the white house or in the executive branch that really turn out badly. she is not a capitalist. let's go back to that central lie. she wants the government to take over more and more of our economy, and the numbers prove that that's what's happening. david: with by the way, backing losers, we all remember solyndra back in the obama administration, but now it's happening with intel. >> that's right. david: intel's about to be taken off the dow jones industrial average. they're putting up signs for a fire sale. there are all sorts of things going -- by the way, in terms of whether the economy's doing well right now, we did get inflation

if numbers that weren't so bad. a lot of that has to do with what we -- the excitement that the market has regarding what our fed chairman did, putting his fingers on the scale in favor of kamala re-election. but john harwood who is an old colleague of mine at "the wall street journal", but then he moved over to another business network, he said the craziest thing, very on the left of the political scheme. he said the craziest thing about this election is that we have a very good economy or, the best in the world, and so many people feel and act and pretend that it's bad. do you really think americans are pretending that it's bad? [laughter] >> yeah, they're pretending when they default on their auto loans which, by the way, is i think why the fed cut rates by half a percentage point. that is really bad news because nobody wants to default on that loan. they need their car to get to work. so we've sewn rising numbers, concern seen riding numbers, i think that is a very bad sign

for this economy. david: yeah. even the fed putting their finger on the scale won't change things if she gets all those spending measures in -- >> oh, that's right. $5 trillion tax hike, who has ever run on a $5 trillion tax hike? teafd teafd yeah, a lot of people have lost elections on the basis of higher taxes. liz peek, is have a good weekend, thank you very much. fox news out with its latest polls breaking down how trump and harris match if up on some of the voters' top concerns from the economy to immigration. former house judiciary chief counsel under clinton the julian epstein is going to be joining us next on "the evening edit." ♪ >> she should resign in disgrace for what she's tone to to our country, not run for president. ♪ if. ♪ [♪] can a personal loan unlock your ambitions?

[laughs] a home router should never be a home wrecker. oo this is a good book title. david: well, the presidential race still looks razor thin in the swing states. a fox news poll shows kamala harris leads donald trump by 3 points in georgia, but in arizona trump leads harris by 3 points. as hearst loses ground -- harris loses ground among women, hispanics if young voters and maybe some democrats as well. joining us now, julian epstein, former chief counsel for house judiciary during the clinton the

impeachment. i think that's when we last spoke, julian -- [laughter] about 25 the years ago. but back 25 the years ago the democrats had the working class in their pockets, or so they thought. since then things have changed dramatically. what has changed? is it that trump is very good as a populist in taking democratic voters, or is it that democrats have just moved so far to the left that a lot of democrats don't want to have anything to do with him anymore? >> it's both. trump has channeled the resentment of the working class vote, sort of of the college-educated elites which are mostly what the democratic party is today, and the democrats have moved very, very far to the left on economic and cultural issues. if you look at -- clinton actually won the working class vote. if you look at biden in 2020, he lost the working class vote by 4 points. right now the democrats are trailing by about a 18 points. it's not just they're losing,

they're losing it in droves, it's hispanic, black, white, on on down the line. it's not just that the party's moved to the ideological left. most people in the united states including nearly all working class voters have lost real income. if under the biden administration. wages may have gone up about 10%, inflation went up 221%. 221 -- 21%. working class voters do not like open borders. there is strong economic evidence it drives down the wages of working class voters. working class voters don't like the cultural left positions when you talk about, you know, biological men playing women's sports, they are very -- the numbers are huge on this. or whether taxpayers should fund transgender surgeries for migrants. i mean, the numbers on that a are sort of off the a charts. if you even look at the energy issue, working class voters want an all of the above strategy the rather than let's kill fossils

the way biden promised to do at the beginning of his administration. they're very, very opposed to that -- david: well, julian, you mentioned bill clinton and, of course, he was a pragmatist. some would say an opportunist, some say he just had common sense politically. when his administration moved very far to the left the first two years, they lost terribly in a midterm after that. he moderated tremendously. he worked with newt gingrich in congress, they got a welfare program that made it more common sense common sensiccal a. he did a lot of things to move to the center. i see kamala moving even further to the left -- >> that's right, with price controls and housing. look, bill clinton ended welfare as we know it, mend if it, don't end it, on affirmative action. you name the issue, school uniforms. you name the issue, economic, cultural, foreign affairs, he was a very aggressive advocate of israel which biden has been waffling on.

you name the issue, he went to the political certain, and he was very effective. the other thing he did was bill clinton took every opportunity he could to engage with the news media. it was like come into my sand box and play with me. let me show you how much i understand these issues, let me show you my command. and if you look what happened with kamala harris' interview on another network the other night, i mean, that was just, you know, not a very impressive showing. she did not come across as a very effective spokesman -- the. david: he would speak, you know, i didn't agree with him on a lot of things. of course, i didn't agree with you on a lot of things, but i saw him speak without any note cards or prompter for at least an hour on a number of different subjects. and she just doesn't have the capacity -- well, the bottom line, we've only got a few seconds, does that mean she's going to lose? >> i think it's a jump ball right now. if this is a campaign about temperament, she wins. if it's a campaign as a referendum on the last four years which trump could make it

but he's failed to make it so far, if it's a referendummen on the last four years, trump wins. this is trump's election to throw away. he has not done a very effective job, in my opinion, thus far, in making the case that the last four years have not been a success. david: by the way, i had to tell the crew here i've known julian for 25 the years, he hasn't moved at all. he has the same position since his party has moved, he's stayed the same, at least in terms of your ideology. quickly, go ahead. >> people ask me in that question all the time, i'm exactly where i've always been. the democratic party has moved very, very far to the ideological left, and and that's why all of the polling shows its positions are not popular with voters. david: joined by doug schoen is, mark penn and at lot of others -- >> there's a couple of us. great seeing you, david. david: hurricane helene is leaving a devastating path of destruction as it made landfall last night as a cat four storm. we have the very latest from the

david: former president p donald trump meeting with ukrainian president p zelenskyy this morning in new york to discuss the country's ongoing war with ukraine -- the war between russia and ukraine. trump is now set to hold a town hall a little later today in michigan. that's where fox news' arab shoo hasnie is live -- aishah has nebraska has the latest on trump's very busy day. ike shah. >> reporter: very busy day, indeed, between new york and michigan, this battleground state. the former president has a very packed schedule. he is on his way here to warren where he will hold a town hall hosted by senator marsha blackburn. he just wrapped up remarks in walker where he promised supporters that he will reignite the michigan auto industry and bring in foreign jobs. take a listen. >> under my plan american workers will no longer be worried about losing your jobs to foreign nations.

foreign nations will be worried with about a losing their jobs to america, because we're going to take a lot of those companies back. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: from domestic to foreign policy earlier today, david, trump met with president zelenskyy, and he said he is confident that he can have a peace deal worked out between russia and ukraine before inauguration day. no details though about exactly how that's going to happen. >> well, it's too early the say that. i mean, i have my own ideas, and i'm sure the president definitelies has his own ideas -- definitely has his own ideas. but it has to be fair. >> reporter: so the meeting was thawing the ice between the two leaders after trump lashed out at the ukrainian president for recent comments suggesting that the former president doesn't actually know how to stop the war. trump said yesterday at his trump tower that he disagrees with president zelenskyy on that. he thinks he can make a deal and end this war.

david? david: well, he wrote a book on making deals. aishah, thank you very much. let's bring in virginia congressman ben kline. good to see you, congressman. what did you think, some people said there seemed to be a little underlying hostility between the two. i thought it was one of those scenes where donald trump was thinking about how he could make a deal with this guy. what did you think? >> shul. donald trump -- absolutely. donald trump is showing himself to be the diplomat that kept us out of wars over the four years of his presidency, and it reminds voters exactly what we had under trump and what we're facing now, a world on fire and a war in ukraine that this administration can't articulate what victory even looks like. david: now, again, both sides are going to have some problems with any kind of deal, if it's possible to make a truce and and a deal between russia and ukraine. but the question is whether with all the money that we put into it, will the diplomats around

the world agree with it? because if it's seen because of the past, all the russian collusion hoax, etc., people are going to say, oh, he's favor russia -- favoring russia over ukraine. do you think zelenskyy might play into that if he feels like he's getting short-changed? >> it sounds like trump made it very clear today that russia is not our friend, that we stand with ukraine, that we want to support ukraine in its fight with russia and that we can negotiate a conclusion to this war that will benefit ukraine. david: let me just play a little more of what donald trump said with zelenskyy at his side earlier today. roll it. >> well, i learned a lot, but i think i haven't changed from the standpoint that we both want to see this end, and we both want to see a fair deal made. and it's got to be fair. and i think that'll happen at the right time. i think it's going to happen. david: now, of course, all the sophisticates say it's

impossible to make a deal between the who two sides, but they said the same thing about israel making a deal with arab states. i remember john kerry being asked specifically if that could happen, and he, of course, was the expert, the former state department official, etc. he said it would never happen at all, there will never be a deal between israel and an arab state alone without the plo in the middle. well, trump made it happen. it was the abraham accords. if he'd been elected to a second term, they may even have had saudi arabia in on the deal, so he can make these deals happen. >> he can. and, in fact, we saw peaceful middle east when donald trump was president. now we see israel under attack. we stand with israel, and donald trump will stand with israel against hamas and against hezbollah. but ultimately, it's iran who is backing these two, and donald trump stood against iran, and he stood against vladimir putin who

is nothing more than an evil bully, an autocrat, and we will continue to stand with ukraine and, ultimately, get an agreement because of his leadership. donald trump will bring both sides together and fundamentally can get a deal that will benefit ukraine, that will resolve this and end the has of life. david: now, you say we stand with israel. and there have been some things that have happened over the past few months that make me question that. that's i mean, i wonder z we -- i hope it's possible not to have a full blown war between his a blah and israel. it'd be tragic on all sides. but the bottom line is, if that happens, are you sure that we would unequivocally support israel in its battle to dislodge hezbollah the way it's dislodging hamas in gaza? >> we must stand with israel. they're the sole democracy in the middle east. they're an advanced democracy that has stood with the united states.

we have stood with israel. we have a special history, a special relationship with israel. and we must continue to do so because their enemies don't just want to beat them in battle, they want to wipe them off the map, and we can't allow that 40 -- to happen. david: we can't, duh i am just not certain who kamala harris would be in favor of if there was a battle like that between hezbollah and israel. i'm just not based on what's happened with hamas. congressman, good to see you. thank you so much for being here, have a good weekend. well, destruction from hurricane helene stretching nearly 800 miles from south florida into the mountains of a appalachia with at least 30 people reported dead across do the southeast. fox weather's ian oliver is live from treasure island, florida, with the very latest conditions there. ian. >> reporter: david, good evening. you said it, hurricane helene has been devastating for so much of the whole region with damaging winds, the power outages, the flash flooding

inland. but here at the coast, we're in pinellas county, florida, treasure island, it's the surgery. a record surge in places like clearwater and st. pete, 6-7 feet that, unfortunately, what a surge like that does for most of the places on this barrier island, it's flooded 3, 4 feet into the first level of folks' homes. and in this situation, there a marina across the situation, they had pulled these boats in advance of hurricane helene. these came from across the causeway. that's toward the gulf of mexico liking -- looking west. the surge came up 6, 7 feet as i mentioned from over on this side of the road, lifted the boats off the trailers, and then they came right across the causeway. some of them got caught on that stone wall which took a lot of damage. that center conceal, look at thatting, it's up on stilts like you were going to the sand the bottom and paint it. unfortunately, a lot of the pontoon boats and some of these larger boats made it up and over

the wall and into the front yard of people's homes. pinellas county had to perform more than 500 tohigh water rescues last night, saving a lot of folks that made the decision to stay. there was a mandatory evacuation order in effect, but as i mentioned, this was a record surge, 6-7 feet. folks had lived there for their entire lives here in pinellas county and not seen a surge like this and, unfortunately, this is just one location. the surge got even higher the farther you moved up the coastline. david: it's an incredible sight. oliver -- ian oliver, thank you very much for that. stay safe out there. appreciate the report. well, join fox forward support of recovery efforts following hurricane helene. your donation enables the red cross to respond to and help people recover from this disaster. visit redcross.org/foxforward, or you can scan the qr code on your screen to support these
