3:00 am
didn't look like it. the sunshine state. >> will you honor a request from donald trump's ice agency as governor? will you work with donald trump yes or no. >> you can proceed with your
3:01 am
time. >> andrew will not answer the question. >> hecklers try to confront the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell while out with his wife. >> why don't you get out of here? >> you steps up. uncorking. it is caught. but he couldn't get in. stopped at the 1. ♪ yeah, this is my town ♪ na, na, na, na steve: october 22nd. it's a monday. we are in new york city. i'm from kansas. ainsley is from south carolina. so brian, this is your town. brian: my town rhode island not in manhattan. feel better in the oval island almost attached only by tunnels and bridges. ainsley: you are crazy. we have been following that caravan. there were a few thousand last week.
3:02 am
steve: 2,000 then and look at the number now. we have a fox news alert. the migrant caravan is growing as it heads towards the united states. ainsley: group is 7,000 long. brian: is he going to be seeing 5,000 people storm the border soon? >> agents say they want a wall. griff? griff: that's right, guys. good morning. the border is already overwhelmed. just in the last three weeks here in the rio grande sector they have had more than 12,700 aliens apprehended. that's why they are worried about the caravan getting up here and adding more to the problem. they have here in this sector, guys, about 55 miles of a wall. and that's why chief padilla, manuel padilla the sector wall chief says he needs even more wall to help solve the problem. listen. >> if we had this combination of personnel, technology and infrastructure throughout my border, we would truly
3:03 am
transform this area. it's a win-win situation for everybody. this area right here, we do not see ms-13, we do not see criminal aliens coming in to this area because of the capability that we have through this combination of personnel, technology and infrastructure. griff: the combination is wall structure, along with the manpower of the overwalked border patrol agents doing such a good job here and technology of cameras and infrared scopes. here is the thing in fiscal year 2017, of all of the family units alone that were apprehended and there were more than 49,000 in this area alone. only 1.4% have been deported to date. you add this 7,000 strong caravan they get here they came asylum. they are going to be released there is nowhere to put them. in chief padilla says if this caravan comes and let loose in this country more and more will come. this is a serious problem.
3:04 am
steve: indeed. is the thinking they would just stop at the check point and ask for asylum or did what they did on the southern border of mexico. wherever they can they will just ru run across? >> we don't know. and that's why the officials here having a big meeting today amongst themselves and trying to assess exactly what they think the organizers plan to do. either way, steve, when they come across, they're going to have to be processed and if they claim asylum they will be given a court date for which they probably will not show up for. that will second a signal for more and more caravans to come. they are really worried how this is handled. ainsley: how are they able to do. this so many of them, mothers, dads, how are they able to walk that far. they have gone from honduras to guatemala and just now at the border of guatemala and mexico. that southern, southern border of mexico. they have a long way to go to make it here to the u.s. >> that's a great question. they have a long way to go.
3:05 am
actually, when you talk to most of the migrants from central american countries. they actually get a bus system. they take a bus from the southern mexico border up here. they don't walk. the reason why they're walking and taking so long we assume is because they want the political attention. they want the media to cover it because they want to expose the loophole laws that we have here. that's the thinking from the folks i talk to here. brian: look. i understanding this new mexican government is trying to do more and the president praised them. however, can you imagine a scenario where they walked right through america to canada. we would never allow that that wouldn't be possible. right now, what they are doing is enroute to coming here, claiming asylum and thanks to the flores amendment they get their 20 days in detainment only, give them ankle bracelets and let them loose. 90% cut the operateslets off and we never see them again. what does it say to everybody waiting in line paying the fees through our normal process cease.
3:06 am
played at fools for doing it the right way. there is so much wrong with what we are seeing right now. >> that's right, brian. you know, just a quick point here. that is chief padilla and all the border patrol agents you talk to here say they are as much concerned about these loophole laws as they are building a wall. at the end of the day, if there is incentive for them to keep coming in droves, you can't you mean ultimately s. steve: that's right. griff jenkins live in mcallen, texas. you see the drone video from the latest estimate from buzzfeed is 7200 people. 90-degree weather. where are they getting water and food. who is handling the logistics? i was reading in the "l.a. times" today apparent lay number of mexicans who live in the area line the highway, hand out clothes and sand witches and bottles of water. still, 7,000 people. you know, that's an army of people. who is feeding them?
3:07 am
brian: you know, we let in a million people a year legally. we are one ever the few countries actually growing in population. as russia dies and europe starves for people. wee want people who want to come to america. we need a system that works them through, work visas for people that need workers on their farm. most of them are good people. i'm sure some are up to no good. i'm sure they want a better life. i get that as of 2009 when senator dianne feinstein started passing immigration laws making it more attractive. no longer do mexicans come to america. very few. they are come through mexico, to america thanks to very liberal laws passed by a woman who wants to be chairman of that same committee in a couple of weeks. ainsley: president said it's not going to happen. he has threatened to cut off their aid and put the military on the border. definitely a hot button issue for the elections happening in about two weeks.
3:08 am
the president is out there. he has four rallies this week. the first one is going to be in houston, texas. that's tonight at 6:30. people lined up, started lining up yesterday morning. steve: they did. they are going to be, the president is going to take the stage at the toyota center. that is the home -- look at all the people signed up. the home of the houston rockets. 18,000 seat arena. but 100,000 people made requests for tickets. and so what they're going to do is they have dispatched the trump team down there. they're going to have the first ever big texas tailgater for the overflow. they are going to have food truck us and live music and big screens. why today? because early voting starts today in the state of texas. brian: ted cruz, of course, getting help from a guy he went head to head with they got personal in the 2016 election. they have buried the hatchet. the headline i saw. the hatchet remains buried. ainsley: ted cruz is up 7
3:09 am
points. it's still neck in neck if you look at the margin of error and he is running against beto o'rourke. brian: who said something really smart, ainsley. i will not attack the president personally. that is the first time a democrat has said that. ainsley: he is in texas. a lot of people like the president. i think it's smart not to attack him. steve: let's move from texas to florida where it was a little more than a week ago where there is supposed to be a debate between ron desantis a u.s. congressman and andrew gill yum who is the mayor of tallahassee. but then that hurricane michael screwed everything up. and obviously they postponed it until last night. the polls down there are neck in neck. perform they are tied. so this was a make or break debate and eventually they got to the issue that is our number one issue today. and our lead story. and that is immigration. listen to the give and take on that. >> will you honor a request from donald trump's ice agency if they provided the
3:10 am
detainer q will you honor it as governor? will you work with donald trump? yes or no. >> can you proceed with your time. >> i work with law enforcement, when they are in the system. they are convicted maybe they serve 10 years. there comes time to come out. detainer request from ice. you either turn them over to ice or release them into the community. only two options. andrew will not answer the question. that tells me would be willing to release them back into the community. >> would you like to answer the question. >> . i think the show boating is unnecessary. what we will do is we will follow the law. if you commit a crime, you do the time. if through the adjudicatory process and a judge issues a warrant for arrest or a movement into an ice facility, that's exactly what we would follow. brian: that's not the way it works. if you just look at the two people. obviously the mayor of tallahassee extremely threcketted communicator. in terms of a track record what he has donnatal has he. what he wants to do medicare for all and state tax that allows florida to be one of the fastest growing states
3:11 am
in the country. he wants to up it. who is running on the i want to increase your taxes platform especially taking over governor scott led state who built up a rainy day fund. he has been so successful. ainsley: people move to florida because they don't have a estate tax. steve: neck in neck in florida. a lot of politicking. jillian joining you now. jillian: thank you. ainsley: how was vacation? jilt jilt. jillian: it felt like months. brian: we have changed a lot brian. jillian: you are very different. a desperate manhunt intensifying after a police officer is shot and killed in cold blood in georgia. antoine tony's older sister says he was one of the good guys. >> antwon had cop cars all over the house. we would step on cop figurines. i'm talking like four or five years old that early. he knew that's what he wanted to do. i literally had called with
3:12 am
him that he said i knew the job i signed up for. i know i can go to work today and not come home. jillian: police are still desperately searching for 18-year-old that ferrari maynard wanted for murder. a second suspect is in custody. 42 police officers have been killed in the line of duty this year. that's already seven more than all of last year. the saudi crown prince calling to offer condolences to jamal khashoggi's son overnight. skepticism over what really happened to the columnist. thought saudi government says his death was a tremendous mistake. >> first step of a long journey. we are determined to uncover every stone and determined to find out all the facts and determined punish those responsible. jillian: american political leaders on both sides of the aisle says the saudi plangs doesn't cut it. national security advisor john bolton is in moscow for two days of high stakes
3:13 am
talks. the meetings coming after president trump announced the u.s. will pull out of a decades old nuclear arms treaty with russia. ronald reagan and gorbachev signed the treaty in 1987 forbidding both countries building cruise missiles. russia has denied building either of those missiles. brian: cheating on a deal. now we wanting to pull out of it, they are upset about it. steve: another negotiation. jillian, thank you very much. on this monday, president trump's approval rating hitting all-time high just 15 days away from the midterms. what does this mean as we enter the homestretch of the race? is it good for republicans? our next guest has a prediction and you will want to hear it next. brian: elizabeth warren just broke her silence on why she d.n.a. test. wait until you hear what she says now. brian: ainsley, do you want to say anything

okay, i never thought i'd say this, but i found bladder leak underwear that's actually pretty. surprised? it's called always discreet boutique. it looks and fits like my underwear. i know what you're thinking. how can something this pretty protect? hidden inside is a super absorbent core that quickly turns liquid to gel for incredible protection. so i feel protected and pretty. always discreet boutique. new color. new size. brian: president trump's approval rating surging to 4'%. highest in his presidency a reasonable doubt doing to a nenew nbc "wall street journal" poll. what does this mean as we enter the final weeks of the
3:18 am
race. here to discuss is tom bevan. i know you do averages. it's impossible to get your eyes off this poll and not think something is going on here. first, on the comparing the interest in the midterm elections from 2g 2018 to 2014. look at the difference. 72 to 47%. >> surging interest across all demographics, you know, now, interest doesn't translate to votes, necessarily. but it certainly seems like the lock tore rat on both sides across the spectrum is really prime for november 6th this year. brian: do you think threes because they care or is that because the party has done a better job contacting them? >> that's a good question. i don't know. i think part of it is there is just no escaping politics in our every day lives now. everybody, it feels like they're tuned in and locked in to what's going on in the way they haven't in the past. that's part of the trump effect.
3:19 am
he is driving the news every day. whether you love him or don't, you can't get away from him. he invokes strong reactions on both sides and that's what we are seeing in these numbers. brian: people think big turnout is big for democrats. do you still believe that. >> not necessarily, no. in fact, it depends on the district. it depends on the state. if it's a republican-leaning district or republican leaning state, big turnout would be probably good for republicans. i think it's a district by district thing overall. again, each one of these races matters, if you have a lot of democrats they turn out in very blue districts, it's not going to help democrats in swing districts or red states. brian: i think you have a monitor there. i lover this poll. buried in the results in the "wall street journal." the congressional preference in the most competitive districts in the country it is a virtual dead heat. >> yeah. so the national number is a plus 9 for democrats, which is a strong number that could correlate them taking over the house. that's what caught my eye. in these competitive districts. their generic ballot lead
3:20 am
had disappeared. what that suggest is democrats are overperforming in very blue districts. very blue states but not as much in more competitive districts. that's a good sign for republicans i think two weeks before the election. let's not make too much of any one single poll. we have seen trends in other polls especially in president trump's job approval rating. brian: do you still say healthcare is the number one issue, the economy is number two. many congratulation in the top five? how would you rank it? >> yeah. that's what we are seeing. healthcare definitely seems to be in all these races. everybody is talking about it we saw it in the florida's governor race last night the debate. the economy is there that was the other thing from the "wall street journal" poll. republicans have the best rating on the economy that they have ever had in the history of that poll. brian: unbelievable. the tax cut overall is under 50 percent. somebody is feeling something and it's reflecting in these polls. we will see what it means in 16 days. tom bevan, thanks so much, real clear politics. >> thanks, brian.
3:21 am
brian: the other big story is civility. senator mitch mcconnell sits down for dinner with his wife and this happens. [shouting] >> why don't you get out of here? [shouting] >> >> people are tired of the tactics that guy got shouted down. mitch mcconnell kept his cool. healthcare still number one issue to independent voters. we have a panel to talk about that next. they look exactly like them.

3:26 am
is the fact that after this guy who was accosting mr. mcconnell and his wife, he slammed his fist down on the table and threw his doggy bag out the door. a number of the other diners were saying hey you, stop it? >> that's right. i think what this shows us is that there is a general fatigue setting. in the american people are tired of this. we're ready to move on. civility should be a bipartisan agreement. we should totally understanding that mitch mcconnell is allowed despite what his ideas are to eat at a restaurant. to say dine stay restaurant with his wife without being intimidated. we are going to see more of this. this happens to me when i was accosted on an airplane. everyone stood up and defended me. this is not a left or right issue. ainsley: it is interesting. remember when mitch mcconnell this happened to him before when he was walking out of the building and his wife started getting in the face of the hecklers saying leave my husband alone. this time they didn't have to say anything. they sat there and watched
3:27 am
everyone else defender them. that makes me proud. especially after the brett kavanaugh hearings. we have reached peak lunancy on the left. >> it's time to dial this back down. we don't need to see this at all. we need the american people to come together once and for all. nothing to be upset about. this country industry doing amazingly. leading the world economically. upsetting to think this is how people are going to get their point across. happy so many people stood up for them. i hope we don't have to see this keep happening to people who are conservatives in restaurants. brian: elections have to move away from we won. you lost. when they start doing something on a bipartisan area it will start blurring the line as little bit. with the election a couple weeks to go. meanwhile, candace, you took a trip with can yea west. >> i did. i did. we went to uganda.

3:29 am
>> he understood that a dialogue needed to be opened. that's exactly the purpose of him going and visiting and having that conversation. he made it okay for other people, especially in the black community to go there and voice their opinions. that's the purpose that he serves. it has been too far left. and too far right. and people are fighting as we see with and when to mitch mcconnell. somebody who serves the purpose of moderating those conversations and saying look, i'm a black man and i feel this way and i want to express this pot president. i support you president trump. despite media telling you i'm not allowed to. steve: candace owens joining us from turning point u.s.a. thank you. ainsley: 29 minutes after the hour. homecoming party turns into chaos after a floor collapses beneath dozens of students. watch.

steve? steve: thank you, brian. according to the gallup poll 42% of voters identify as independent a year ago in 2017. that is up from 39% in 2016. >> making it the largest post presidential election jump in three decades. what are these independent voters looking for in the midterms, which are two weeks and one day away? let's talk to this independent panel. we have assembled. michael, screen left is the director of the serve. cathy stuart national development and independent voting. john updyke the president of open primaries and aaron comey is the chairman of the manhattan libertarian party. lady and gentlemen, good morning to all of you. >> good morning. >> aaron, let's start with you, what's the number one thing that you are concerned about regarding the midterms? >> solutions. somebody who is candidate is offering actual solutions. and, you know, that's why i look at some place like new york where you've got this race going on. and a lot of candidates are
3:35 am
just bickering back and forth. i'm not him. i'm not him. i like that in new york for governor. we have larry sharp, who is actually offering actual solutions. he is a businessman and he has got ideas that are revolutionary. steve: okay. cathy, what about you? what is the one thing you are looking at as you look at the two parties going back and forth. >> there is two levels i think about this. i think independent voters are looking for candidates that can get the job done. that can work on policy first put their party aside. i think there is another level to understanding who independents are is that we are voters who are saying we want to be free from the political party. we think part of the problem is the political parties we just about d. a national survey of 5,000 independent voter across the country. number one reason they gave
3:36 am
for being independent is that they think that the two political parties have failed the country. they put their own interests first instead of the interest of the american people. i think when we go to vote we are looking for candidates that can do the right job. steve: john? >> i think independents are looking for candidates, whether they are independents, democrats, republicans who are willing to go up against the establishment, not just in washington but in their own party. that's something that independents very attune to. is candidates who are willing, not just to attack the other side. that's easy, everybody can do that. but, to go up against the orthodoxy and the hierarchy in their own party. steve: sure. >> and say they are going to put the country first. steve: give me an example of somebody who is going to do that. >> roe conna. steve: democrat or republican. >> democrat. very progressive. very left on many issues. he is willing to challenge party orthodoxy on election
3:37 am
reform. on a whole set of issues that don't conform with the democratic party talking points. and i think independents respect that. steve: michael, we just saw from tom bevan and brian's reporting on the very latest polls, it looks like in the super competitive races the democrats advantage, the so-called generic ballot has evan boreevaporated. they are in a dead heat. what happens? >> go to the polls and decide hot better candidate is. another example a party member running as a new party candidate is right here in new york. in the governorship race with stephanie minor, the former mayor of syracuse who is a registered democrat running on a fusion ticket with michael volpe registered republican. mayor of pellum new york. they have learned to sit down and talk about the issues and figure out the
3:38 am
way forward where they can both bring their political views to the table and come up with solutions for the country. steve: you are all mentioning names a lot of people out there watching right now have not heard yet because they are not part of the mainstream big parties. take a look at this poll. how independents fall politically, 46% lean democrat. 32% lean republican. and 22% are pure independent. one of the big stories right now is this migrant caravan that is heading toward the united states. right now it's north of apparently 7,000 people strong. just curious. michael, let's start with you. how big a problem is that that the united states has uneven immigration laws? >> i think uneven immigration laws are a problem for any country. and i think our immigration laws need to be modernized and updated but this country is founded on immigration and all of us come from immigrants. steve: what should the united states do if those
3:39 am
7,000 people, by the time gets here could be 10,000 or 20,000. what should we do. >> mightiest country on the planet. we can handle a caravan of people unharmed coming through country? steve: let them in. >> i'm saying to process them properly. steve: cathy, real quick? >> real quick, i think the immigration crisis we are see something a result of the failure of the two democratic parties to actually engage the issue. instead they use it like a partisan football. steve: sure. >> i have to challenge the idea that independents are leaners, i think no political party owns independent voters. the leaner question tries to put us back in the box. very box that we jumped out of. steve: you don't like that. john, real quick on the immigration? >> there is a humanitarian crisis taking place in central america and, yet, this issue gets turned into a complete political football. there is very little honest discussion about what's actually happening it gets turned into talking points. >> treating this as an invasion is a bad idea and going to end horribly if it
3:40 am
is treated such as that way. i think people have to realize, yeah, these are human beings coming here and needs to be a real solution offered in dealing with it. steve: sure, but the back drop is the midterms so it all becomes political. let's see what happens. great discussion. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. steve: 20 minutes exactly before the top of the hour and jillian has news. jillian: good morning to you, steve. elizabeth warren doubling down on defense for taking a d.n.a. test. the massachusetts senator said she wanted to reprove her heritage to rebuild trust in government because she thinks it is at quote all time low. she wanted her whole family history online so anybody can take a look. warren making the comments during second debate against republican state representative geoff diehl yesterday. a seen of joy quickly turns to chaos after a floor collapses during a college party. inspectors now heading to an off campus apartment complex where dozens were developed right into the basement.

3:47 am
pete: i served our country never at the border. in this particular case it will be time to deploy the military. i believe. so we haven't changed our immigration policies. we don't have a wall. catch and release still in effect. we're not stopping them before they come to the border. we don't have the ability to really deal with this -- and we were talking to folks on the border on the weekend show. utterly unprepared for this. doing the best we can with what we have. crossings are still up and with this caravan coming we're not ready. brian: not ready by law, if they cross, certain things that they are entitled to. they are going to get their time in front of a judge. going to be held about 20 days. it doesn't matter if the army is there somehow we have to get on the other side of the border to stop it. pete: because the laws are as the president calls them dumb. they don't make sense. they don't protect our sovereignty. that's where you have to go back to congress and say it's about time we actually do something about it a wall is part of saying you don't get to come into our country unless you prove that you are a refugee. go to a port of entry.

lavrov over the foreign secretary about getting out of the nuclear deal signed in the 1980s, they have been violating it. do you think there is some play there in these negotiations or is it just an announcement? >> we'll see how it unfolds. but i think treaties were only as good as compliance and context. and if the russians aren't complying and we are, then we are losing. the context of what we signed that treaty was the cold war. u.s. and the ussr the two nuclear super powers. since then who has emerged? china. china now has technology and they are the seen and we don't. ainsley: are we being tough enough in the critics saying the president hasn't been tough enough on russia. do you agree with that? >> total opposite of the reality on ground. we have taken the strong chance on russia. steve: we are living by the law. they are not. pete, thank you very much. brian: good job, pete. ainsley: 49 minutes after the top of the hour. you know her a glamorous country music star it wasn't always like that for jesse james decker. she is opening up to us

get a hearing before judge and come in legally but most don't. president trump is going to visit houston later today. this is in the rio grand sector. this is in that sector. more than 2700 illegals crossing in the seq. for in the last three weeks. more than 800 pounds of dope over the weekend. at this very moment. agents tell me they are working multiple groups of illegal crossers right now. that's why the chief of this sector manuel padilla says at some point we have to have a wall and cameras and manpower to stop it, listen. >> we will goat a point that diminished return. we have to give our agents the tools ie the personnel, technology and infrastructure and look at a way to fix the loopholes that impact our operations. >> meanwhile that caravan is streaming up here, 7,000 strong. i was on twitter, you can see some of these videos,
4:04 am
people chanting and encouraging them to come along the way. it's really quite something. and the officials here are certainly paying a very, very close watch to this stuff. because of what padilla just mentioned those loopholes because if f. that caravan comes over. like everyone else coming illegally, there is no place to put them when they cross. they will be turned loose with a summons to show for a court date they are never going to appear to. that is the overwhelming problem we have on the border, guys. steve: griff, just to recap, if somebody goes through that check point there on the border and asks for asylum, they will be processed. and then if they go around the border crossing and step into the united states illegally, they can be arrested and then deported? is that how it works? >> that's how it works, steve. that last part, the deported part is what is not happening because while they are being held it centers to be deported there is no place to put them.
4:05 am
they are given essentially a summons to show up for court date and then they just disappear into the fabric of the continental united states. it's happening to alarming tune in 2017, face wall year 2017, just a family members unaccompanied. more than 50,000 people we are talking about, were not deported. only 1.4% have been. the majority stay. ainsley: it's going to take a long time to go through the 7,000 people. if they come to that port of entry right behind you, griff. if you go in that building behind you, i don't know if you got a tour of it, griff. i have been there and we have taken tours of it. they are just little offices and families go into those offices and they meet with a border patrol agent and then they decide whether or not they can seek asylum and let them whether or not into our country if they are having. steve: asylum. ainsley: dangerous area. they know what to say. they have a better chance if they have their children with them.
4:06 am
that's going to take forever to process 7,000 people. brian brian they are not going to. they can't hold more than 20 days thanks to flores rule. they don't have enough judges. no one is going to get in front of a judge in 20 days. most of the 7,000 are going to flood into our country unless we can stop them before they get here. griff: that's right. you know, guys, in this port behind me, the key point is if they have merit to their claim and that is a challenge that many feel well, they don't have the merit. so they just crossed illegally. and that's why some are coming. at the end of the day, chief padilla also says what happens when w. this caravan and how it's handled may be a key to whether or not we see caravan after caravan after caravan. there will be no incentive for them not to come physical they see an open border. eacious ain't second one in a matter of a few months. steve: think about it going to take a while. still a thousand miles away. it was 2,000 on friday.
4:07 am
now 7,000 today. ainsley: how many more? steve: it could be gigantic. i'm wondering whether or not the president of the united states, who has made this a campaign issue for the midterms. remember, he is going to be down in texas today. i wonder if he is going to go down to the border. brian: jason piccolo knows about the border. former ice patrol agent and whistleblower, too. he says the flow of migrants need to be stopped. >> how many are from potentially dangerous countries and potentially isis. what about other malicious intent. what about smugglers in there with them. they need to stop that flow and vet these people before they get to the united states. i would deploy military police. they have the training and technology to vet thousands of people. you have got to remember. you have almost 10,000 people come from central and south america that are potentially going to hit our border soon. ainsley: if you look at the map. the migrants are at the very base of mexico. they have gone from honduras
4:08 am
and guatemala and right at the base. they have a long way to walk. we have a few weeks before the president needs to figure out what is going to happen. brian: i don't know if they are all walking. at love mexican citizens are saying hop in my truck. a lot of them are hopping into trucks and being pushed forward and some people say that a lot of them are getting transportation when the cameras come they hop out quick and continue to walk. ainsley: some of them will probably stay in mexico. they are. brian: are the mexicans going to aloy that? steve: mexicans said we are going to crack down on this. but so far they have not cracked down. the president of the united states is looking at the midterm elections. he would love to keep control of the house and the senate. it looks like the senate is a done deal. the house still too close to call. the president is winding um right now in the very latest "wall street journal" poll with the highest approval rating of his presidency. ainsley: at this same time, jewels before the midterms. steve: he is 47% right now. ainsley: is he at 47%. president obama about the same time within a few weeks
4:09 am
he was 45%. the president's approval rating right now is higher than president obama's walls. brian: this is astounding considering that 92% of the news on the president is negative. for him to go from, i think, cnn had him six weeks ago at 38% to think here we are closer to the mid terms he is at 47%. making one consequential decision which oftentimes makes your approval go down go up. it's astounding. also goes to show, too. he is his best messenger. what has he been doing? he has been having rally after rally, dealing with people individually. is he bringing his case to the people. that's what got him elected. i actually don't foresee him stopping. being that his approval ratings went up 7 points or 8 points since he started. ainsley: 90% new england republicans. steve: there is a slight difference when the polls were taken the obama poll was taken. steve: two weeks closer to the midterms 45%. now the president is 47%. remember, it was the president last week who
4:10 am
echoed what newt gingrich said. and that is the midterms will be essentially a referendum on kavanaugh and the caravan. and the kavanaugh thing was a big win for republicans. and now the caravan, as all of america looks down, and you decide, you know, what should happen to those people? obviously. many of them from countries where there is -- they are so poor, they can't find jobs. there is violence. they are coming here. what do they do with them? this becomes a referendum on what the folks do heading this way. brian: battle ground districts and did a poll basically what's more popular, republicans or democrats? not necessarily the person running. this is stunning. all of a sudden the republicans, which over the last 150 years in this country the power takes a pounding in the midterms. even before the vote. it's virtually a dead heat, republicans 45% to 44% in terms of popularity. steve: key to that, 69 toss-up districts. democrats are doing very, very well in blue districts.
4:11 am
in the purple districts, you know, too close to call right now. the republicans a little bit ahead. brian: when the democrats do well, feel optimistic in these blue states where there are republican enclaves like in illinois. like in california. and a lot of people think the president would do better to go in there to orange county. go in there to the newport beach area and try to get people going. ainsley: president knows what's at stake here. even though he is not on the ballot. please go out and vote. wants you to vote for republicans. he has four valleys this rallies week. saturday is murphy's burrow, illinois. he will be busy. steve: he will, indeed. gizelleian is busy. she joins us 7:11 with the news. jillian: police and fbi holding a news conference told one week after jamie kloss disappeared. she hasn't been seen since her parents were found murdered in wisconsin home

thousands of dollars to fix. so, suddenly with -- and there you go. they covered it up so they could fix it and have experts come in there because he used to go there every single day because his wife is buried there as well. and, of course, that's his grave. what i tried to do with the afterwards ward is bring you will what past presidents thought about him. if you see some footage of ronald reagan, having his picture taken by the statue in front of the white house. there is reagan right there who laid the wreath down. ainsley: the statue is at the white house. >> the statue is right in front of the white house. he insisted having his picture taken there here is he at the hermitage. lbj was there. teddy roosevelt and fdr. fdr insisted on driving up to the house and channeling jackson. he wanted know what jackson felt. he felt the future of our country was in the balance. for a while so did jackson. he felt in the battle of new orleans when washington was burned and looked like our country was going to be
4:35 am
destroyed. these are democrats and republicans in our past that have stood up and said he means a lot. walls he perfect? no. but was he a 13-year-old orphan who managed to become a lawyer, a judge, a congressman, a senator, a militia general and two term president? i don't think this was a debate. now they are trying to take him off the 20. president trump is stopping that pull politics out of it and talk about the battle of new orleans. probably one of the biggest upsets in american history. that book is in paper book. ainsley: great book. did you so much research. you named all the soldiers one by one. pretty i didn't mean progressive. really tell us about history and why his life was so important to all of us and our country. and now it's in paperback. which means if you are on a budget not as expensive as the hard back obviously. the paperback you can go out and buy it and give it as a gift for christmas. brian: it has new material. ainsley: it does? brian: what reagan, fdr, teddy roosevelt, abraham

4:45 am
social media you have to be a democrat. a lot of students fall in line with supporting democrat candidates. they put on the front yeah i'm excited about this because they see what happens to anyone that dares to support a conservative or republican candidate who is young that peer pressure leads them to support candidates that they know very little about. that's sad when their vote counts as much as anyone else's vote. that's what sad. steve: absolutely, texas. you go down to texas a&m. very strident reporters who intend to vote for him. when you ask some questions, watch. >> you may not have any experience but you can be as informed about a position without actually doing it. >> beto -- young people because we are more aware. >> getting his name out there. for not doing much. >> to be popular and accomplished. >> i'm not as educated as i
4:46 am
would like to be. steve: what do you make of that. >> i have been over to 100 campuses with leadership campus ereform they have one thing in common. overwhelming pressure to be on the left. young conservative college students are far more informed than liberal counterparts. when you go to college, you don't accidently become a republican. there is overwhelming pressure to become a democrat and support the left. if you are on the right. you are constantly having to arm yourself with fact and reasoning. everyone is against you for the most part. always having to defend yourself. that makes deserve students born foreigners. on the left when people aren't challenging you can you get through life saying i support this without having to defend it that's why you see so many more informed conservative students than do you know 00 left. the problem is actually getting a fair shake down. it's not coming in class. that's why it's important to get both ideas in class on campus so students don't have this happen where they are so uninformed. steve: you would think college would be the one place where you could get both sides so you can form a foundation but not so much
4:47 am
anymore. you mentioned the informed supporters. ted cruz has some and you talked to them as well. watch this. >> not unless you count going to jail for dwi an accomplishment, no. >> shots fired. >> i'm leaning towards ted cruz most definitely. i think he supports family and i think that's a very important texas value. >> what things about cruz are you a fan of. >> he stands for freedom. steve: there you go, they actually had things to say. >> yeah. and there were other students listing off his support of the second amendment and listing off bills he had sponsored. even in texas there were some young cruz supporters poked their head and looked around to make sure people weren't listening i do support ted cruz. that's dangerous. a lot of, again, a lot of the left their rhetoric is about filings. a lot of students said i like beto he makes me feel good. meats message of the left more feelings than fact and rhetoric. that's why you see what you see.

[shouting] ainsley: the group is now 7,000 strong as it heads towards the united states, and it is right there on the border between guatemala and mexico right now. brian: why do you think you have access to our country? griff jenkins is live at the the at hill dal go entry point in mcallen, texas, where agents
5:03 am
say they need a wall, right, driven. reporter: they have a little bit of a wall, brian. they have nearly 300 piles of a river border. the chief, manuel padilla, into the sector, rio grande sector busiest in the nation. they have 13,000 illegal aliens crosses last few weeks. thousands of pounds of marijuana confiscated. it is like, for lack of a better words, an open border. 300% increase in family units and children, unaccompanied children. as we watch the caravan officials pay close attention. i asked chief pa little today a very important question, here is what he had to say. should the caravan of migrants come close to the area, president says seal it down, are you ready to do it? >> absolutely. our agent are up to the task.
5:04 am
there will be modifications we will make, getting every person in green uniform down to the border, hopefully get some mobile technology to include mobile scopes and that sort of thing. reporter: chief padilla, manpower, border patrol, men in the green and technology of the cameras in the, they have, as well as the wall that they're going to need. he also says, guys, the number of people coming in the caravan will overwhelm this border even more than it already is. guys? steve: griff jenkins on our southern border, thank you very much. keep in mind, mexican authorities, immigration officials have gotten in front of the crowd several times, hey, if you want asylum, you have to apply here. they just walk by. brian: if they were walking down rout 95 in america would be able to stop them?
5:05 am
yes. why can't mexico stop them? it makes no sense. mexico has their own country. ainsley: they went through honduras. they went in through guatemala. if you look at the map they're right at the border where guatemala meets mexico. mexican immigration officials let 640 through the border crossing. but yes, you're right, brian, as they're walking up towards the united states, we don't have the manpower to deal with all of this. when you go in the building where griff was standing, there are little offices. family members go into the offices one family at a time, they meet with the border patrol agents they decide whether or not they need to be in the country. that will take forever to process people. steve: by the time they get to the border of the united states there will be multiple. president of mexico said they won't be allowed to enter mexico in irregular manner but some did.
5:06 am
this woman came from nicaragua, here she is explaining why this particular caravan is a problem. >> it is a threat to our national security because today war, is not only countries that go to war, it is groups, such as isis, hezbollah, hamas, the taliban and they have declared war openly against the united states. so with the open borders policies we've had, how many of them are in america? that's the question. >> yeah, that is the question because they're coming from countries where stats show homicides are through the roof. some of the highest stats in the world. so they're coming here. i know some of them say, well we have no other choice but to think you have so many organized like this, to march where they get maximum publicity, defiantly say i'm coming to america, you can't stop me? they have their own chants.
5:07 am
they have their own organization. to me this is an in your face to america. i dare you to stop me. democrats should be just as outraged about this as they should about the khashoggi killing. should be one thing that brings both sides together, we have to have integrity at the borders. ainsley: how are they able to walk that far? steve: 90 degrees. ainsley: 90 degrees. no water. they have whatever clothes they're wearing, whatever they're bringing with them. unbelievable. it will be a topic of conversation at the rally. the president has four rallies this week. first one is in houston. tonight at 6:30. people have been lined up all weekend. food trucks started 9:00 this morning. live music starts at 10. they have big screens, 100,000 people requested tickets for this. the arena only seats 18,000. brian: michael avenatti said he would have a resistance rally. he had no people to speak of so
5:08 am
he canceled it. steve: he did. the event is so big down if texas, early voting starts today in texas. this is something that actually helps republicans, that is the president's job approval rating. remember couple month ago when people were saying president's poll numbers are in the toilet. he will drag down the republicans? right now at this point in his presidency he has 47% approval rating that is the highest ever for this president. meanwhile, if you go back to october 2010, about two weeks closer to the midterms, president obama's approval rating was two points lower than president trump's is right now. ainsley: people are saying look at the economy, look at the more money in our pocketbook. one guy we interviewed, glen collins, drove 180 miles to the rally. left their baby with a caregiver.
5:09 am
costs $111..12 cents to get to the rally. he said it was worth every penny, because the president put more money in his pocketbook. he is the one who is giving me the money. brian: latest "wall street journal" poll, economy is number one, number two is health care. looking at generic ballot of the that same poll, asking most competitive districts, which would you rather have democrat republican, it is 45-44. how did that happen? >> 69 districts too close to call. anyway or another jump ball. ainsley: dead heat. steve: that is good for what party? we'll know in two weeks. nine minutes after the top of the hour and jillian joins us right now. jillian: good monday morning. we're starting with a fox news alert. a desperate manhunt intensifying after a police officer is shot and killed in cold blood in georgia.

dollars into struggling areas, urban areas, known as opportunity zones. more than 8,000 communities, home to almost 35 million americans are in the designated areas. the opportunity zone program was top priority for south carolina senator tim scott as priority to move the tax bill through. senator scott, this program shows the federal government can really help when it comes to poverty but the private sector can. how does that factor into your program? >> brian, i think you said it very well. bottom line we should all thank you to president trump for his desire to help people living in positive risched areas. one of the ways we do that through creation of opportunity zones where we attract private sector capital through a tax deferral of their capital gains tax up to 10 years, if you make it a long-term investment in one of the poor area, the fact of the matter, that tax is 24%. this is significant motivating
