>> ainsley: might not come home until after christmas. until february. >> steve: supposed to be there six or seven days. >> lawrence: after you get stuck do you remain an astronaut? >> steve: let's hope they get overtime. >> ainsley: what is happening in the international space station do they start arguing? when do they get sick of each other. >> brian: elon musk has got to come up and save them. >> lawrence: he can if they allow it. "fox & friends" starts right now and remember, mornings are better with friends. ♪ >> steve: let's start in the campaign trail. kamala harris set to hold another campaign event in detroit, michigan today before heading to arizona for the fourth time this year. can you tell it's a battle ground? >> ainsley: this comes one day after republican vice presidential nominee j.d. vance made dueling stops in the same cities as harris and her new running mate tim walz. >> brian: today marks 18 days since harris became the

presumptive democratic presidential nominee. she has not done a sitdown interview yet. that indeed came up yesterday. i thought it was just brilliant over the last two days j.d. vance had a rollout. people didn't like podcast i did we got that if you want to know why he was picked. just watch his press conferences. is he great on his feet. can handle any question. how do we though that? he is handling any question. he actually takes questions from people he looked at the press yesterday and said why are you not demanding that you get time with the candidates? >> ainsley: he walked over to her plane and said this is going to be my plane. >> lawrence: what a great moment. >> steve: because his plane landing there at ewe clair. what he did very effectively walked on over i wanted to check out my future plane and say

hello vice president and ask hr why she refuses to answer questions from the media. i thought the press gaggle followed her might get lonely. i have respect for you all and the american people you report to to talk to you and answer some questions. >> lawrence: there is fascinating thing no. request for kamala harris to do more press interviews. >> brian: or outrage. >> lawrence: push back on the thing. everyone keeps saying there is momentum. all right. i remember back in 2008 because obviously i was there on the obama campaign. i remember the momentum behind him. i remember the big event and everyone rocking the shirts. it was a movement. and i also remember back in 2016 despite or loving or hating donald trump. there was a movement there you saw everyone. you could feel the movement behind him. i keep being told that there is a movement behind kamala harris and i'm not seeing the voters. i'm not hearing from the people saying. >> this is the difference because you knew donald trump

said build a wall. have a smart foreign. >> lawrence: right. >> brian: knew where he stood. we don't know where she stands. found out from people she changed policy positions on 12 major things even on website there is nothing there. these crowds are great. but they all have contracts. entertainers first. >> lawrence: outside of the crowd when you are meeting people in the street, when you are in the airport, there was always this buzz about barack obama, buzz about donald trump. >> brian: and hillary clinton. >> ainsley: every time she speaks it's a teleprompter. she hasn't had a sit-down interview in 18 days since announcing. i am so tired of hearing, excuse me, i watched fox news last night. we aired her press conference. it's the same press conference i have seen over and over and over. she does that whole monologue about oh i have prosecuted this person and this person and this person. i have met people like donald trump. >> steve: here's what is happening. regarding the excitement.

there is still a honeymoon. it is still ongoing if you believe the polls. >> ainsley: just beginning for them. >> steve: it is just beginning. they have another week because they just rolled him out. here's the thing. j.d. vance very effective in going over and saying to the reporters hey, i'm sure you are lonely, she doesn't answer any questions. as it turns out, and this is, i think an exclusive in the "new york post" this morning. apparently she has been talking to reporters. the reporters who are on her plane with her on tuesday she sat down inside the plane. she talked to them for a short period of time, answered all their questions. the next day she did the same thing. they were both off the records. so she is answering the questions. not on camera. she is throwing them a bone and so when j.d. vance says well, you got questions for her. she -- they are thinking well, would very asked her, we just can't report on it. brian what good is it? it means the people don't matter. >> steve: makes them feel like they are cozy with her.

>> brian: they are supposed to be for the people not themselves. >> lawrence: dealing with a short race. already rushed through the process. no voting. >> ainsley: without anyone voting for her. >> lawrence: only comments she is going to provide are those off the record? we get no pushback from policy positions from her. we don't get to hear any of that? not just us. it's van jones asking the same question. >> i'm not mad that she is not doing 15 interviews a day but it can't last. it's very important and we can't make favors. anybody running for the top office needs to be available as possible. >> steve: he is absolutely right. the big question who is going to get the first interview and what's it going to be like. >> ainsley: republicans have been saying when are we going to hear from her. when you hear van jones say it maybe she will hear the message. line. >> brian: long and far to get that little bit of a soundbite. not many people saying it on the other channels. that's when when j.d. vance came

whoever and said i'm going to answer questions and give you time because she is not. that was important to point out. and we also important to point out yesterday she had some protesters. protest the pro-palestinian pro-hamas protesters beginning to follow her around. >> ainsley: detroit. >> brian: that is what is going to happen? >> lawrence: what the is lesson from that though, brian, she have said everything they want her to say. she has called for a cease-fire. didn't pick the running mate people thought qualified. upset the pro-hamas side of it. still, after doing all of that they still protest her. >> ainsley: voted uncommitted during the primary. >> steve: yesterday in a rope line, i believe it was in detroit, the organizers, the founders of that -- you know, the uncommitted thing, got in her face and said hey, we would like to have a meeting with you.

and we asked her to consider an arms embargo immediately. afterwards the uncommitted people said the uncommitted of michigan want to support her. our voters need see her turn a new page on gaza policy. listen, they would like to vote for her. they are not big trump fans at this point but they need to see some movement. and, if she doesn't talk on camera about stuff like this, they are not going to see some movement. >> ainsley: she agrees to an israel arms embargo. that's a big deal. that's why if we did the poll yesterday the jewish vote in new york favors donald trump right now. did you ever think you would hear that? >> lawrence: no. >> brian: no answer is her answer. that's why, too, you know she is harder even than joe biden. we know we have the full screen up. all the weaponry held back from israel. it's out. that's under this administration. if there is a harris administration, israel is going to be virtually on their own.

>> lawrence: buckle up. meanwhile harris' new running mate tim walz facing accusations of stolen valor as he touts his military service on the campaign trail. >> steve: doug luzader joins us now. >> good morning. vice presidential nominee j.d. vance four years in the marine corps and deployed during the iraq war is calling out governor tim walz accusing the democrat embellishing his 24-year military career. on the tarmac in eau claire, wisconsin reporters ignored a question on the stolen valor accusation. [shouting question] >> governor. >> now, a veteran who served with walz and was a member of walz's battalion in the minnesota national guard joined "the ingraham angle" and agreed with vance's assessment. >> it is stolen valor. he has used the rank that he

never achieved in order to advance his political career. he has done it for decades now. he still says he's a retired command sergeant major to this day. and he's not. >> a spokesperson for the harris-walz campaign telling fox news after 24 years of military service, governor walz retired in 2005 and ran for congress where he chaired veterans affairs and was a tireless advocate for our men and women in uniform. and as vice president of the united states, he will continue to be a relentless champion for our veterans and military families. now, walz never saw combat during his military career but claimed he carried a gun in war at one point. service records indicate that walz dropped in rank when he retired shortly before his unit was to deploy to iraq. back to you guys. >> steve: doug people are going i can't believe that didn't come up in vetting. but, as it turns out.

these allegations originally were based on like a 2018 facebook post by two guys who worked with him. including the guy we just saw. >> the vetting team must have certainly known about this. must have figured it would blow over. not be a big deal. hard to imagine he would have missed this. >> ainsley: he would have had this title had he not retired. he would have had to serve two more years and gotten the title. the fact he put ton a website and said he carried a gun in combat he that's on his website. both of those are false. >> brian: here's the problem. it was in the prompter. when she said coach. some people call him coach. some people call him sergeant major. maybe they didn't screen. >> lawrence: maybe average day americans don't care. but my phone has been blowing up by folks that serve. they are ticked off. >> brian: his unit go over and he stayed home. >> lawrence: keep making the comparison jumping into donald trump. donald trump hasn't pretended to

serve. they keep bringing up the draft dodger. excuse me, if you look at the polling data right now. he has overwhelming support to the military community. draft dodger versus person that tries to pretend like they served in combat. >> ainsley: we are glad that he served. we thank him for his service. you can't lie about your was is. everyone in his unit knows the truth. and one of them was speaking out last night on laura ingraham show and had valid arguments. he said coach took them and won state. he was assistant coach, which is great. you really can't claim that. >> brian: the linebacker's coach. >> steve: ultimately, this is one of those instances where if he addressed the press we could have questions instead a paper statement. >> brian: check carley shimkus resume she was also a linebacker's contemporary. is that true? >> carley: little known fact about me. linebackers listen to me all day every day. >> brian: what are some of your

principles? >> carley: camera is quickly approaching me i must turn to headlines. we start with a fox news alert. a serious one at that all three nights of taylor swift's vienna concerts being canceled after police uncovered a planned isis terror attack. just moments ago officials in austria revealed the plottedders intended to kill people outside the stadium with either knives or explosives. that's new information. the promoter behind swift's shows in austria made the announcement on social media with confirmation of government officials with a planned terrorist attack at the stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone's safety. two suspects are now in custody. officials found chemicals and substances that could be used to make explosives during a search of one of the suspect's homes. they also found materials. taylor swift has not commented on the situation. new documents from the doj show that hunter biden was apparently

hired by a romanian oligarch to influence u.s. policy and public opinion. special counsel david weiss noting hunter biden helped a romanian businessman contest bribery charges in that country. prosecutors say hunter and two associates supplies over $3 million in payments from the businessman who is expected to testify against the first son in his los angeles tax trial. that trial is set to begin on september 5th. in sucks says, video crashing the car no a liquor and vape shop in denver. they smashed into the entrance four times before entering the store. oh my goodness. the group then stole $15,000 worth of merchandise, along with the safe holding $10,000. police are investigating the incident. no arrests have been made so far. and tonight, former chicago mayor lori lightfoot is expected to release a report on the spending habits of tiffany hen

henyard, who critics call the worse mayor in america. the village of dalton, illinois so far in debt it may not be able to make payroll within a few weeks. during a monday night board member mayor henyard got into a testy exchange with a fed-up taxpayer. >> the village deserves so much more than what it's goat from an outsider looking in, y'all are being hoodwinked, bamboozled. say things about me, i want you to prove it. like i say, facts vs. fiction. >> during that meeting, trustees agreed to cut spending and implement a credit card spending freeze. and those are your headlines. this situation in dalton, illinois still going on. she is still the mayor. >> brian: lori lightfoot is on. that's such a relief. she is the best. >> steve: just the fact that it's extraordinary. >> ainsley: hair and makeup.

>> lawrence: it's the four car security detail. that has some issues with crime. she took the cops off the street and she has a whole motorcade like she is the president. lawrence. >> steve: we have been talking about this story for months and they only took her credit cards yesterday. >> carley: so true. >> ainsley: not funny, hair and makeup. >> brian: most professional photos. >> lawrence: she looks good. you can't take that away. >> brian: those are not photo shops. >> steve: maybe kamala should have picked her. >> ainsley: hair and makeup. >> lawrence: while kamala harris continues to dodge the media, "new york post" editorial board asked is this really the leadership we want? we discuss that next. ♪ but that changed

>> i'm thing they got going is the media play off all the bad things that happened during her term. so bad five weeks ago they wanted to remove her because she was unthinkable to be president. they were going to go with anyone. then they were afraid they would offend people if they did that

and all of a sudden inch by inch and then she ends up taking over. and after they discovered it a little bit they realized not so easy to do. say look the press is going to do whatever they want. the press is rigged. the media outside of you people of course. the media is so -- they are trying to build her up to the next margaret thatcher liberal version and i don't believe it's going to happen. >> there you have got donald trump taking the media to task for failing to call out kamala harris as she continues to dodge questions from the press. >> madam vice president, [inaudible] picked walz, your reaction? your response to scrub? why not josh shapiro? >> steve: well, she is

consistent. she doesn't answer any of them. our next guest says don't expect anything to change republican strategist for o'connell joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. always good to be with you my friend. >> steve: good to have you as well. it's been weeks. she hasn't said a word, you know, when it comes to answering questions from the press. although it does sound like she is holding some off the record things on the planes. but we're not getting any answers. in why are not getting answers and that's by design. trying to fake her way president of the united states by not being joe biden. the only way you will get this corrupt media to do their job is for the trump campaign to schedule as many debates as quickly as possible because when they see that a lucid harris is not much better than a diminished biden then the flood gates will open and they will ask the questions. and donald trump will begin the 47th president of the united states. >> steve: i love the idea. more debates better. but they got to go fast.

only 89 days, 90 days, something like that before the election. i'm sure the trump people would like to do as many as possible but then you have got her team essentially when you think about it ford it's the joe biden policy approach since 2020. keep them away from people who have questions. >> that's exactly right because we have seen what happens with kamala's word salad. that's why she flip flopped on every single issue. the media doesn't hold her to account. i call her the etch asketch candidate. nobody knows exactly where it is she stands. and she has a lot to answer for. there is a reason why there are no issues on her website, steve. she doesn't want people to know that she is, in fact, a social marxist. >> steve: well, here's the thing. she is getting away with it. >> she is absolutely getting away with it. because that's the media just as corrupted. most of the media. and they want her to be the president of the united states. because they just hate donald trump's guts. >> steve: yep. we have heard that before. cover of the "new york post"

today cam out. cam out. that's what it says on the cover. they have editorial. the headline tim walz's lies about his service elm beau body his leadership failures and kamala harris'. it goes on waltz isn't getting away with lying about service. and won't from live issues. leadership and its opposite. we have lots of questions but they just won't take them. >> no. they won't take them. i will be honest. the first mistake that the harris campaign has made by picking tim walz. apparently a case of apparent stolen valor. he has lied about his rank and combat experience. apparently he quit on his platoon. frankly kamala harris is just as big a fraud as tim walz. and yet the media still won't do anything. i will say this: i don't have as much faith as van jones i like what the "new york post" is saying there is a reason why the switch a radio occurred with 100

days to go because they think they can beat out the clock. >> steve: so far they have done it, 89, 90 days left, ford. >> not only that, steve, but remember early voting is going to begin just after labor day in some of these battle ground states. six states are going to decide it. north carolina, georgia, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. so the trump campaign has got to force the debates now because america needs to see exactly hot true kamala harris is. >> steve: all right. so far she is not answering questions. people would like to ask them. ford, thank you very much. you have got a lot of great ideas. >> you got it my friend. thank you. >> steve: ford has a better idea. maybe that's what i just said. right, carley? >> carley: yeah. i like ford. he was fun to listen. to say. >> steve: indeed. >> carley: more news to get to starting with. this one of the victims assassination attempt former president trump speaks out. standing behind bleachers behind trump at the rally when thomas crooks opened fired multiple shots. the family released a statement

meteorologist janice dean for the fox weather forecast. janice? >> janice: take a look at it. landfall around 2:00 a.m. a second landfall in south carolina and the storm continues to linger and bring epic amounts of rain. we actually have a flash flood emergency right now northwest of wilmington. that's continues. that's that catastrophic area and observed forecast. but we are seeing the potential for catastrophic flooding really for the southeast over the next few days. here is a tornado watch, we have had several tornado warn storms since this storm made landfall, and that tornado watch until 1:00 p.m. local time for north carolina in towards virginia. rain still to come along the trajectory of the storm. we could see 5 to 8 inches obviously in the appear latchens, more fort, already two feet of rain, finally get picked up by a cold front here in the northeast we'll feel the wrath of what is left of deniy. grass pollen, moderate stage

reported heavy drone activity over southern lebanon. israel is gathering fresh intelligence on the group as embraces for expanded conflict in the north and reportedly considering preemptive action. iran may be reconsidering its strike against israel. despite being prepared to hit back, some believe iran is recalculating given the large u.s. presence in the region and israeli promises of a harsh response if civilian areas are hit. the americans continue to urge restraint with state department spokesman matt miller saying this. >> this is obviously a very delicate time for the region. tensions are high. we are in the final stages, hopefully, of a cease-fire deal. and escalation has the potential to make every problem the region faces worse. and so the message that we are impressing upon everyone in the region is that no party should take any steps to escalate this conflict. >> trey: israeli operations against hezbollah are expected to continue with strikes in southern lebanon. and it does come as the israelis

are still operating inside the gaza strip. lawrence? >> lawrence: wow. trey, congratulations on the book. i can't wait to read it. and the promotion, man. very proud of you, bro. >> thank you, lawrence. >> missouri congresswoman cori bush lost a primary race against prosecutor wesley bell. making her the second squad member to be ousted with the help of pro-israeli backers who she attacked in her concession speech. watch. >> all they did was radicalize me and so now they can be afraid. aipac, i'm coming to tear your kingdom down! and let me put all of these corporations on notice. i'm coming after you, too. >> lawrence: wow. joining us now is massachusetts democratic congressman jake auchincloss, so, congressman, i watched that concession speech. i first met the congresswoman when she was an activist back in ferguson. so, when she said that aipac, i'm going to tear your kingdom down, how did you interpret

that? >> good morning. thanks for having me on. >> lawrence: good morning. >> my interpretation of this election is that voters in the heartland chose a career prosecutor who supports law and order and wanted to invest in infrastructure. and that's exactly what is going to happen in november as well when they vote for kamala harris, which is why donald trump has gone into meltdown mode these last few weeks. >> lawrence: i know you want to focus on donald trump and i promise i will invite you to talk about him. he is the republican nominee. but, when you see what is happening in your party, there is clearly a pro-israel sector party standing with our most trusted ally. but then there is another side that tends to stand with the palestinian cause. some of them even saying some of the quotes of hamas. so, as a representative, one was just defeated. one -- another one was defeated jamaal bowman in new york and the next one is ilhan omar who

is up. how do you feel about that? >> the democratic party is a pro-israel party. you see that with joe biden. the leader of the party. the most pro-israel president since harry truman. you see that with hakeem jeffries the leader of the party in the house. chuck schumer the leader of the party in the senate. yes, there are outlier candidates who have been vigorously outlie israel. they don't speak for the mainstream democratic party. the difference on the other anti-ukraine forces and republican party do speak for the republican party. what was once ronald reagan's republican party that stood for the forces of freedom and democracy in europe. are now supplicating themselves to vladimir putin led by donald trump. >> lawrence: i get the talking points wanting to pivot to republicans. last time i checked though, all the funding has been going to ukraine by the republicans as well. i'm just curious of how this is going to define the party going forward? it looks like your voters, even democrats are rejecting these type of candidates.

i don't think there are outliers. i think there is more. when you look at michigan and uncommitted voters. i just wonder if the democratic party will continue to stand with israel or will they capitulate to those people. congressman, i always appreciate you coming on. i promise you the next time i will give you some time to talk about donald trump. thank you, sir. all right. so $4 trillion, that's how much the far left harris-walz agenda could cost you. former trump economic adviser stephen moore shows us the math. that's next. ♪ h the chase mobile app. hellooo new apartment. one bank for now. for later. for life. chase. make more of what's yours. scout is protected by simparica trio and he's in it to win it! simparica trio is the first chew with triple protection. whoa fleas!

earth. took years and delays before boeing was able to launch first spacecraft to the iss the company is scrapping a flight in 2023 after realizing a piece of tape on board was flammable. 2024 three planned launches were delayed. starliner took off june 5th. critical issues soon became apparent after docking he iss. now nasa is considering other options to bring those astronauts home. just this week delaying a spacex crew launch until september. so that craft could possibly be used even if it means extending the crew's stay another six months. >> our prime option is to return, depending on starliner. however we have the done the requisite planning to make sure we have other options open. so we have been working with spacex to ensure that they are ready to respond crew nine for contingency. >> nasa believes the starliner is not yet safe to fly. boeing is adamant that it is. we still believe in starliner's

capability and flight rationale if nsa changes the mission we will take the action necessary starliner uncrewed return. spacex's o'reilly. nasa returning to spacex to get this job done definitely seen as a blow to the company. officials plan to make a decision though by mid august. ainsley? >> ainsley: all right. thank you so much. all right. kamala harris insisting donald trump and j.d. vance w want to weaken the middle class. >> donald trump intends to take our nation backwards. it is a plan to weaken the middle class. if he is elected, donald trump intends to give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations. [crowd boos] he intends to cut social security and medicare. >> ainsley: actually kamala harris and running mate supportive policies very likely hit the american pocketbook like reparations, healthcare for illegal immigrants, and banning

fracking. trump economic adviser stephen moore is here to help us break down all the costs. you understand donald trump's policies and how that saved the middle class, helped the middle class four years ago. when you look at their policies, are you fearful for what this means for all of our pocketbooks? >> well, good morning, ainsley. >> ainsley: good morning. >> let me give you one statistic that refutes what kamala harris was just saying that when trump was president, the average median income for a middle class family went up by $5,000. after inflation. that's a pretty good number. one of the best numbers for any president. under biden and kamala harris, you know what that number is? negative 2,000. so, how can they, with a straight face, say they are better for the middle class when there has been a $7,000 per family difference in favor of trump. now, you asked the question about what these people want to spend money on. let's not forget what has happened with the democratic ticket over the last 48 hours is the democrats have teamed up the

most liberal senator in the entire united states senate. that was kamala harris. now with the most liberal governor that they could find. and so you can't get -- this is not a moderate ticket, folks. >> this is a far left ticket that they put together. and so you're team asked me to put together the numbers. how much this would all cost. and so when you take into account the reparations, the medicare for all, government takeover of the healthcare system and then that massive green energy new deal program. i am estimating that would cost taxpayers in terms of increw he ised debt somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 trillion. now, that's on top of the fact that since joe biden came into office, he has already raised the national debt, ainsley, are you ready for this? by $7 trillion. so add them together. we have a $10 trillion increase in our debt. you know, by the way. $10 trillion, that -- let's see,

that's a one followed by 13 zeros. >> ainsley: my gosh we can't afford that "wall street journal" calling out tim walz, nic record for high taxes and government spending, did he increase jobs? most of those jobs are social assistance or jobs in government. nearly all of minnesota's job growth under mr. walz has been in industries that rely on government spending. since he entered office in january of 2019, minnesota has added a net 41,500 jobs. includes 43,900 in healthcare and social assistance and 12600 in government. private industries have lost jobs. including finance information, professional and business services, retail, manufacturing, and alicia and hospitality. what's your reaction? >> yeah. that is a microcosm, ainsley, of what has happened to the united states as a country. since biden came into office. so many of the jobs that we have created nationally have been government jobs. in fact, over the last year,

government jobs and healthcare jobs have surpassed all of the other jobs in the american economy. so, that's exactly what has happened in minnesota. and why is that? because liberal democrats believe in growing government. think about this. you have two -- you have a presidential and a vice presidential nominee of the democratic party, both of which -- neither of which have any business experience and in their entire careers. they're both basically, you know, full time government employees, they know nothing about hiring workers. i think that's a big problem. especially when you compare it to donald trump's, you know, very successful businessman. >> ainsley: that's why it's amazing when i see the crowds she is getting. when we know the number one issue for americans is the economy and inflation. we all go to the grocery store. we are putting gasoline in our car. we see the difference of this administration impaired to donald trump's. yet, people are still supporting her. it baffles me. thank you so much, stephen, for coming on. >> thanks, ainsley have great morning. >> ainsley: you too. hand it over to carley for

headlines. >> carley: i certainly do. happening today the white house will host the raining mlb champions. the texas rangers will meet with president joe biden to celebrated their victory over the arizona diamondbacks. they will be the first time that the rangers have ever made a white house visit and honor that traditionally goes to each year's world series champion. the ceremony set to begin at 4 p.m. eastern time today. now to paris where team u.s.a. hall made unbelievable come back in yesterday's 400-meter final. he started out towards the back of the pack in a disability fourth place. he managed to zoom through the field and bring home the gold with just four tenths of a second to spare. hall is the first american to ever win the event since 2008. and american rest wrestler sarah held brand taking gold after her opponent failed to qualify for the title bought. her opponent a wrestler from india was declared ineligible and knocked off the podium after
