details. hi brook. >> brooke: good morning. president biden will head to camp david to use the private retreat to prepare for the upcoming showdown with former president trump and for the first time since october brand new fox news polls shows president biden leagued former president trump by two points in a head to head match-up which is within that margin of error. but even with him slightly in the lead, most voters still don't trust the president on these key issues. the new polls show former president trump leading on immigration, the economy, the israel hamas war, guns and standing up to elite interests. trump also leading among new voters edging out biden in the head to head by four points and with one week until the candidates take the stage, even more top democrats are now sounding the alarm on the biden harris campaign strategy. democratic strategist in touch with the biden campaign telling axios quote it's unclear whether the president and his core team realize how dire the situation is right now. that is scary.

here's south carolina senator and possible trump vp pick tim scott responding to the concerns from the left. listen. >> the democrats, they are losing their minds because they're losing their voters. they're a race-based coalition, race baiting to keep the votes. it is crumbling before their very eyes. it's donald trump with the working class coalition that's attracting more working-class people, black, white, hispanic, asians. because under donald trump they had more money in their pockets. >> brooke: and it appears unlikely that independent candidate rfk jr. will take the stage with trump and biden next week he missed today's midnight deadline to meet the polling and delegate criteria. guys. >> carley: so officially a two man debate. brooke thank you so much. to a fox weather alert tropical storm alberta is bringing heavy rain flash fooding and storm surge to the texas coast

the, the woman, the mother. >> these are american citizens. these are the people that help to strengthen our country. these are the men and women that keep our country going, like to categorize her as a statistic, it just shows how impersonal that they are. >> carley: matt whitaker the former acting attorney general and trump campaign surrogate and he joins us now so patty morin was referring to alejandro mayorkas referring to her daughter as the individual who was murdered which she and any parent would feel reduces their child to a statistic. so if the goal of the biden administration is to take a compassionate approach when it comes to illegal immigration, how do you explain the lack of compassion here? >> good morning to you and todd,

carley. the compassion only goes so far as i guess the illegal immigrants because, you know, what they have done here to rachel morin is they have, you know, completely dehumanized her. they have, you know, dramatically made her just a statistic. and, you know, collateral damage from really radical policies of where they opened the southern border, allowed millions of people to come into our country and now we're suffering the consequences of that. and alexander mayorkas, president biden, none of them seem willing to confront the real issues, and the consequences of their policies. instead, you know, they just seem to be willing to ignore the death and destruction, you know, whether it's these murders that we talk about all too often, or whether it's the other crimes. it's just staggering. it's heartless iematt can the

morin family sue the federal government over the death of theory daughter. >> in this case it would be complicated but it doesn't mean they shouldn't and i think the federal government is responsible for her death. i want to be very clear about that. that this was a senseless unnecessary crime, a victim that should not have been victimized and a family that now has to live with the consequences and i think the federal government is responsible for that and particularly joe biden and alexander mayorkas and their radical policies. >> todd: that sound bite from alejandro mayorkas is shocking because this administration can name every single trans influencer on tik tok but they can't remember the name of that murdered woman. it is sickening. meantime want to get your thoughts on this. we are awaiting a supreme court decision on former president trump's claim of immunity in his federal classified documents case and former ag eric holder is worried. watch. >> wait a minute. a president can violate the american criminal law if he or she is doing something in their

official capacity. that is an absurd and dangerous conclusion. and i'm worried, given the length of time that it has taken for the supreme court to decide this case, that something along those lines might come out of the supreme court. >> todd: from one ag to another, do you agree with eric holder, matt? >> well, that sounds like a lot of liberal hand ringing. remember, they have placed a lot of their faith in beating donald trump in their lawfare strategy, whether it's the cases from jack smith, whether it's fani willis in fulton county or the case up in new york city, you've seen since president trump hasn't been in court how he's been traveling and communicating, whether it's -- you know, he's going to pittsburgh soon. he was in wisconsin recently. you know, the huge crowds. you see why they want to keep him in a courtroom. why they want to keep him off the campaign trail but the supreme court is going to say what the law is. obviously there is presidential

immunity for official acts. our system would not function without that and the supreme court is going to say the parameters of that. in fact eric holder knows his history he knows the nixon case already established some of that precedent at lowest in civil cases and a lot of us expect that they'll extend that to criminal cases. >> todd: so how should ultimately -- you say what you think they will do. how should this court rule. put yourself on it for a moment, matt. how should they rule? >> well, remember i'm not an elite harvard or yale grad. i'm a state school iowa law school. i'm not sure i'm qualified, at least under the modern definition but i'll take a stab at it todd. i think what they should do is they should say that presidents do have immunity. that our founding fathers intended them to not make decisions with fear that they would be prosecuted by the next administration. so i think they should say that

that the outer bounds of presidential immunity are all the official acts that can be contemplated in a president's job under the constitution. you heard that in the oral arguments tovmentd you remember when there was a lot of back and forth but it was pretty clear that many of the justices were coming out that there was presidential immunity for official acts and they were just trying to find kind of where that extreme edge is. but, you know, it is also, to me, not these crazy hypotheticals about sort of ordering, you know, your political opponents assassinated, it is the practical doing the job of president, making decisions to protect the american people, one thing that joe biden, based on the last story we just talked about, doesn't seem to want to do. >> carley: well today is a decision today at the supreme court, so is tomorrow so we're going to be watching if they come to a conclusion. matt thank you so much for waking up and joining us. we appreciate it. >> good to see you both. >> todd: iowa's finest by the way. justin timberlake's attorney speaking out for the first time since the pop singer's dwi

they said they can't come now. we have to come to the station. i said, sir, we don't know where the station is. we just got robbed. we don't know the area. we are afraid. can you come and help us? they said no, they can't come. we called them three times, and they don't come once. when we asked them what's the address, they said -- they give us the address. when we go around -- when we go around the station, they takes like 15 minutes to open the door or more, because we were on-gentleman was passing by and we asked him can you assist us to go into the station where do you walk? and he said we have to press the button, keep on press the button until they come out. and when we call them on the phone, hey, we just called you

about our van that got robbed, smashed out and got robbed, and they pressed the button opened the door we get in. >> carley: nerissa i'm sure that was so disheartening because you were just the victim of a crime and to hear that, we can't come to you you have to come to us. i don't know what happened, one possible explanation is maybe they're so darn busy they don't have enough manpower to handle it all, which is a huge problem for the city. so, rhomel how do you beal all this? you were going to go to lincoln university i believe on a football scholarship and now that's no longer happening. i'm sure that's so disappointing. >> yes. i was actually excited because i'm starting a new chapter in my life. i was excited because i love playing football. i was actually very excited. >> carley: i'm sure. but nerissa as a mom you look at what happened and you say i don't feel comfortable leaving my son in oakland, is that

right? >> yes. because what makes me so sad is because the coach, most of who we correspond with when we were down here, we called for help, just assist us. because they want us to come to the station. we don't have a broom to sweep the broken glass out of the van. and we just called the coach and said can you assist us? i said we don't know where -- we don't know around here, we don't know nothing, we don't even know the glass like this and can you assist us in any way, get the broom to sweep out the glass so that we can go and bet in the van to drive to the station and he said no he can't come. the only thing he can tell me tow do is bring my son at the dorm and leave him. and i said, sir, would you leave

♪ >> todd: a brand new fox news poll shows president biden leading in the presidential race for the first time since october and it comes just as biden is set to leave for camp david appear begin his prep for next week's cnn presidential debate. kaylee is the editor of restoring america at the washington examiner and a steam boat institute likely fellow. she joins me now. kayleigh should trump be worried by those numbers? >> i don't think so. he's gained a lot of ground over the past few months. and, sure, they're going to go back and forth over the next few months but this debate is a huge opportunity for him to solidify his recent gains and really gain some more ground over biden. we all know that biden is going to struggle in this debate and the only question is how much. >> todd: remember, this is an overall number doesn't necessarily focus on the swing states and quite frankly those seven states that are in purple right now are all that really matter of while biden is hunkered down prepping like you

mentioned it's not like trump is drinking milk shakes he's prepping as well. what advice would you give to donald j. trump as he preps for this debate? >> i think the advice is twofold. the first is, let biden talk. everyone has their own suspicions about biden's mental capacity at this point. let biden confirm those suspicions and we all know that he will especially if he's expected to think on his feet, to give lengthy policy answers and to rebut trump's points. and the second thing is that when trump does talk, he should focus specifically on policy. one of the mistakes that he made back in 2020 when he debated biden was he got too personal. he rambled on at length and he continued to interrupt. now we know that that last point is not going to be as big of a concern this time around because the rules are different. but if trump remains focused on the policy he's going to appeal more directly to the swing voters. i think about my own generation of young voters the latest new york times polls shows biden is up by just two points among

gen-z voters. there is a huge opportunity for trump to appeal to them on the grounds of policy. >> todd: let's heard more into the youth vote. the new fox news poll shows voters under 30 favors biden by eight points little different than the new york times you're talking gen-z this is you should 30 in general but back in 2020 fox news voter analysis shows biden won that group by 25 points so you can see if you compare these two trump is really chipping away at biden. do you expect him to further chip away at biden's lead with the young especially especially kayleigh to your point if he focuses on the policy a week from today. >> i do. and it all comes back down to the issues. if you break down these polls. when young voters are asked specifically about the issues that they care about and which candidate best alliance with their positions on these issues, they almost always choose trump. and they're just like older voters in that in that they care a lot about inflation, they care

about the economy in general, they care a lot about illegal immigration. when trump is heading into the debate there will be a lot of temptation to give into biden's personal attacks biden will call him a convicted flown and trump should remind all voters and all other voters that biden just let eight suspected terrorists across his southern border. biden will go on trump's role in the jeff capitol riot. trump should remind vote what ares the economy was like before biden took office, keeping a really narrow focus on the issues that voters care about is the best way to make a good standing in this debate. >> todd: there's definitely a juxtaposition on the issues but boy oh boy is there a juxtaposition on these two individuals ability to communicate a week from today. kaylee we appreciate your insight carley. >> carley: we have an update on the horrifying situation out of queens the ecuadorian migrant arrested for raping a 13-year-old girl at knife point

a appeared in corresponded and chilling details. in a videotape statement he said i was nervous at first and then got comfortable and recorded it. the queens district attorney shared more details. >> the people are alleging that he came -- he approached the young couple, two 13-year-old kids, tied them up, put a gag in their mouth, raped the young woman and asked them to stay there for 20 minutes while he, i guess, left. but at the end of the day he is remanded into custody. he has those charges pending, he has waved his 180 80. >> vicky a new york city council woman joins us now your reaction to such a sickening act in the first place and this heinous desire of this guy to videotape it. >> well, as we all know the whole thing is totally insane. we've said so much about it already. melinda katz made her case very

clear about how insane this is. this happened just a few minutes from where i'm working right now. and it's frightening. it's another disaster for new york. it's a tragedy for new york. it's a disaster about how our border is still open. this guy is an animal. i'm sorry, he's an animal. and what he got when he got corona which is his backyard, again ten minutes from here, by his own -- now 53% of hispanics do not believe that these illegals should be here. they don't like it. he broke a code. a code the guys on the street have and he took a beatdown for it. he got arrested. the fact that he said he recorded it is just -- you know, listen, there's a 13-year-old girl here that we cannot forget about. and her friend or her brother,

whoever was with her, they are the victims of this animal. and hopefully, thank god, they did remanned him without bail because we have ma linda katz here, we don't have bragg like we do in manhattan, because god knows which way that would have went. but this is what we see all over now. all over the city. not a rape of a 13-year-old girl, but we see knife point, we see guns, we see more crime due to the illegal immigrants that have flooded our border. new york city wants its sanctuary status back. >> carley: council woman it's because new york city is a sanctuary city so if you cross the border, you have bad intention of course you're going to come to a city that is soft on crime. you mentioned that 53% of hispanics who are fed up about what is going on in their neighborhoods. are there any discussions taking place to change the sanctuary status of the city?
