progressive kamala. >> wow. >> at least he didn't say, "who is kamala harris?" was running the country. she is out campaigning, it's not her and not him. >> they are trying to reinvent her, that is the whole point. they are not separate. in fact they are even worse. that is the truth and that is what they need to hammer. >> i've been looking at all of her past statements on policy moves when she was in california and the senate, very progressive when it comes to energy, taxation, and i think this economic plan we are expecting to hear from the campaign this week, we are going to get their first real view of what her plans are and it will ruffle feathers. >> just a couple seconds to follow up, anything else she might take from donald trump asides no taxes on tips? >> well, you mean stealing that? [laughs] i don't know. the problem is pennsylvania for her right now. it is the fracking issue. that is where i think she will have to pay that. >> well, she is trying. here is "america reports." ♪ ♪ >> sandra: okay, it is a waiting game and we are still
10:01 am
waiting and waiting and waiting. vice president harris still has not held a single formal news conference, and not revealed any specific policy proposals since becoming the presumptive democratic nominee. instead, her campaign is busy backtracking from the far left record she once promoted. hello and welcome to you. i'm aisha huss me in washington. hi, bill. >> bill: hi, will sandra and john are off today. we have a lot of details to get to. nowhere to be found, harris medicare for all appears to be coming back to haunt her on the trail the her campaign suggested she no monger supports such a proposal. >> aishah: but watch how she responded during the 2019 debate here. >> who here would abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan. all right.
10:02 am
>> aishah: she raised her hand. voters just forget the record? our panel of katie pavlich and -- are here. >> bill: madison working that story line in new york with me. >> come harris has not outlined her official view for health care in this election but we have her past record and her 2019 presidential campaign to look at for clues pure vice president kamala harris has been a vocal supporter of medicare for all. cosponsoring a bill with senator bernie sanders in 2017 when she was senator and then campaigning on the platform in 2019. on the campaign trail, she called him the end to private insurance and more. >> understanding that access to affordable health care should not be a privilege, it should be a right. >> raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. [applause] okay. >> you as the consumer can she
10:03 am
was under medicare for all plan to have a public plan, a government-sponsored plan, or a private plan. >> we have no answers today but in the past harris has made her thoughts on the matter quite clear. she has advocated for medicare for all, with a 10-year phase in period and along private insurers to continue if they operate with medicare plans. now health care insurance finance experts tell fox business that a plan like she advocates for and 2019 with significant add to the nation's debt, costing $44 trillion in the 2019 plan would put everyone in this country on medicare. >> the idea is everyone in the u.s. would be covered through the medicare program and it would also cover folks that were noncitizens, undocumented workers, as well. it was pretty expansive. rely upon the existing medicare program and would end private health insurance as we know it today. >> of course, we have reached out to the harris campaign for clarity on her position.
10:04 am
we have not heard back from them but like i said harris has run for president before and medicare for all was not just a part of her platform, it was really a big part of why she was running. >> bill: may not get an answer before the end of chicago's convention, perhaps. she said at the end of the month, i'll do a big interview. we might have to wait a couple more weeks. >> i think we might. >> bill: thank you, madison. aishah, what's next? >> aishah: might get pushed beyond labor day weekend. katie pavlich is editor at townhall.com and dr. nicole saphier is a board certified radiologist, both very smart ladies here with us, both fox news contributors. thanks for joining us on your tuesday. katie, i will come to you first because we don't really know what kamala harris' policy is. we haven't seen the policy platform but we hear whispers she is going back and forth. how strong she felt and very strongly felt it in 2019 in an extended our very own peter doocy. >> how important is it to your
10:05 am
health plan to get rid of private insurance companies? >> the bottom line and the most important is that everyone have access to health care. that is the goal. >> i believe it will totally eliminate private insurance. so for people out there who like their insurance, they don't get to keep it? >> let's eliminate all of that. let's move on. >> aishah: that's a pretty clear stance, but now we are hearing whispers that she might be flip-flopping again. what's going on? >> well, until she says herself, her mouth, what her 2024 position is, it is more than a fair to assume her 2019 position is not changed. she nonchalantly says let's get rid of it and move on. millions of americans are private health insurance plans. when obamacare was planned and government took over a significant portion of the insurance industry, there were millions of americans whose private insurance that they liked was stripped away from them. some of them were in the middle of cancer treatments come as a matter of fact. obama said if you like your health insurance, you can see
10:06 am
it. how does this play into 2024 and the position now? because of the inflation reduction act, the biden-harris administration rated 200 plus billion dollars from medicare tn subsidies like electric vehicle mandates to try and get that pushed through, and now behind-the-scenes they are begging insurers not to raise rates, right ahead of the election, and drug prices have also gone up. the other thing is that a care for all is a nice way of saying your insurance is going to be legal and you are not going to have access to any insurance while not mentioning that medicare today requires supplemental private insurance because the united states can't afford to have everybody in the same pool in terms of paying for all the services that they want. >> aishah: i mean, possibly ripping away private insurance from 150 million americans across the country. dr. saphier, let's dive into medicare for all. at least the proposal that she cosponsored with bernie sanders, like i said, it would pull
10:07 am
private insurance from millions of americans across the country. you were alongside doctors, you are a doctor yourself, you see these patients and how important private insurances. walk me through the ripple effects of what would happen if kamala harris medicare for all plan were to take action. >> well, so really, when you talk about medicare for all, we are talking about single-payer health care. that is the most extreme form of health care policy proposals, which we see with bernie sanders and others. i think the majority of democrats are somewhere in between where there is medicare for all or a government-funded option but also maintain some level of private entity. we will have to see what kamala harris says. i imagine she will be in that kind of multi-payer. but when it comes to single-payer, you only see that in canada, north korea, and cuba. and obviously we don't necessarily want to health care systems of those countries. but when we start hearing people talk about we want to make sure that everyone has access to health care, it's a right, well, we do want to make sure everyone
10:08 am
has health care but what does it mean that it is a right? we also want people to have access to food. some people can't afford food. that doesn't mean the government should come in and dictate all control over our food industry. we as a society have decided that we want to make sure we take care of people who don't have access to food. that's why we don't have subsidies and other programs to make sure they do. the same goes for health care. the harris biden administration come all they have done is expanded access and put more expanding of the aca, tax credits through the inflation reduction act. president trump was trying to lower costs and make an inefficient system, which is what we have. it is fraught with complex problems. he was trained to improve it by making increased price transparency, lowering cost of medicare, right to try act, taking money that is being sent overseas for abortion and others, to bring it back here. that is why it really takes not a politician but a businessperson to kind of look at this, how can we fix our current health care system? which is incredible, with the
10:09 am
innovation and the progress. you take away that incentive, that private incentive, and all of a sudden you are going to see a loss of innovation, a loss of progress, big wait times, and you will have more lack of access to care because of wait times. >> bill: two it is what make our country so great. katie come i want to run through the numbers, this is how harris wants to pay for medicare for all. 2019, this is all we know, she wants to pay for it by income-based premium paid by employers, higher taxes on the top 1% earners, tax capital gains as ordinary income, tax wall street stock and corporate income. katie come how this would even go down? >> the amount of taxes they would have to implement on high job, companies, on private medil institutions would be unaffordable and require a lower standard of care. you've already seen the damage done after obamacare, they don't like to talk about it, but the
10:10 am
fact is doctors retired in droves, less care for people who know what they are doing. and the standard of care going down in terms of what you are getting for your money. so that was a small preview of what would happen if something like this where to occur. not to mention people from all over the world come to the united states of america to get their care. they are not going to cuba, they are not even going to the united kingdom, who does have a single-payer system, which is failing, and also puts people on wait lists when they determine you are too old or too sick for the care you want or deserve. >> aishah: well, maybe we will talk about it once we finally have a policy platform -- >> someday at! >> aishah: both of you ladies, thank you so much beer katie pavlich, dr. saphier, appreciate it. bill? >> bill: thank you, aishah. we are expecting remarks from the pentagon and the next hour as u.s. officials that iranian-backed proxy groups could attack israel with the next 24 hours beard we have been watching on this for some time. this is happening now is the fbi confirms it is looking to cyber hacking attempts by iran
10:11 am
targeting both the trump and harris campaign's and gillian turner is watching that p or its state department today, gillian, what did they say? good afternoon. >> good afternoon to you, bill. the iranian government claiming they had nothing to do with targeted attacks on trump harris campaign's. cyber experts have been talking today say they are actually able to trace the techniques used in the attacks and they bear all the hallmarks of iranian-protected interference. overnight, the harris campaign told fox news -- the fbi told fox news they are officially investigating these attack attempts by iran's government. and then last night a harris campaign official told us "our campaign vigilantly monitors and protects against cyberthreats and we are not aware of any security breaches of our systems." state department and white house officials meanwhile aren't commenting on the specific investigation, that they never do, but they are affirming the threat of iranian interference in the 2024 election is very
10:12 am
real. take a listen. >> these latest attempts to interfere in u.s. elections are nothing new for the iranian regime. >> any activity, we are going to take it very, very serious. >> unlike with the harris campaign, it appears the trump camp does believe their internal communication systems were actually breached. the former president writing over the weekend, "we were just informed by microsoft corporation, one of our many websites was hacked by the iranian government. never a nice thing to do. now trump's claim appears to be backed up by "politico" which reports its staff began receiving emails, robert, an aol email a trust. a whole slew of trump communication campaign documents, a research dossier they put together on senator j.d. vance, obviously, bill, this went on to become former president trump's vice presidential nominee.
10:13 am
how far and how deep inside of the trump campaign the hacking attempts went remains to be seen. this is why the fbi is now investigating. >> bill: time to be on guard, regardless. 80-some-odd days. >> don't click on any links. >> bill: or open the attachment. thank you, gillian turner, state department. brent sattler is going to join us, aishah, a bit later in our program, military expert to talk about what is happening with regard to iran. we have a ton of firepower in that region. and iran has been put on notice. and we will see what we get in time. then watching the clock for several days now but still, aishah. >> aishah: we will see if it is enough and that deterrence will work in the next couple of days. our trey yingst has been reporting could see an attack as early as the next one he for, bill. ♪ ♪ >> we operate and function as a section where a city and the policies of failures and they

on $500 bail from the commonwealth of mena chu sits this despite a request by i.c.er appeared i.c.e. now telling fox they have tracked down and detained cori alvarez, 26-year-n migrant who was allowed to fly directly into the u.s. on that special program, a controversial parole program. by the biden administration. he is accused of raping a girl police described as disabled, and a migrant hotel near the city of boston. breaking news story. we will keep an eye on it and track any new development they come into the today into our newsroom here appeared all right, back to aishah now in washington. >> aishah: bill, migrant crime was rattling new york city, and safety on the streets. mayor eric adams once again now claiming that new york is the safest big city in america, even though we just had an arrest of an illegal migrant charged with raping a woman at knife point near the famous coney island
10:20 am
boardwalk appeared retired nypd lieutenant joe cardinale ahead with reaction and a reality check, really, but first alexis mcadams is live in time square, so what can you tell us about this coney island suspect? has he been arrested before? >> hey, aishah. it is hard to keep track of all of these cases popping up, but in this specific case out of coney island, this migrant has been arrested not once, not twice, but a few other times we are digging into. this time he was arrested for reportedly raping a woman out in coney island. take a look on your screen, this was our mug shot we got in our newsroom yesterday, tried to get more details. he was attacking a 46-year-old woman out in coney island come according to investigators paired last year the 24-year-old was busted for allegedly sexually assaulting someone else at a brooklyn center, this comes as cops search for the woman who stabbed a 26 year old man in the stomach outside a different migrant shelter yesterday. you can see they have those tents set up on the scene. just a few weeks ago, a migrant
10:21 am
woman was shot and killed in the same area. it is like you can't keep up. mayor eric adams commenting on the ongoing migrant crisis today. listen. >> i don't understand why our city is going through this. and what this team is doing is managing a crisis that is not sustainable, and that is what we are doing. it's not always pretty and it's not always perfect. >> foxes also learning one of the migrants who police say attached to nypd officers earlier this year and this the spiral video leaving them injured his back behind bars again. we are talking about -- remember him? he is accused, aishah come of stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from new york city stores. he went to two locations and rip things off the shelves and apparently has been adding to his rap sheet. >> migrant crime is taking place but your status as a criminal, we keep it the safest city in the united states.
10:22 am
>> going to be back in court in just a few days. last time he posted bail even though it was pretty high. this time they're going to try to make it even higher to try and keep him behind bars but again the mayor saying it is the safest big city in america, i think it depends on who you talk to, aishah. >> aishah: yeah, it is incredible he would try and say that, acknowledging that have huge problems there that you are covering every single day. alexis mcadams live for us, thank you. >> bill: aishah, retired nypd headed joe cardinale. the state of new york city. >> for the last over two years, the safest big city in america, i can't say it enough. violence on the island is no difference then rikers island. we believe public safety is key to prosperity. >> bill: that was this week, yesterday, joe. is he right about that? >> how can he sit back and say he has no idea?
10:23 am
he doesn't understand how this happened. this is what happens when you designate new york city a sanctuary city. he can talk about the crime -- now the nypd does do a great job of keeping crime down, but this compounds it because these got a ways that we have no idea who these people are, the worst of the worst, coming from every part of the world, especially venezuela where they just released everybody from their jails, emptying the jails, so what do you expect is going to happen? we don't have think a prince on these got-aways. even when they assault them, and we discussed this before, you can't even keep tabs on them. going to get progressively worse. >> bill: joe, not just keeping tabs but following all of this. put on the screen, nyc, raped a woman at knife point, beat her boyfriend with a pipe. vicious beating of time square cops, that was months ago come arrested again after he was
10:24 am
bailed out. outside of the shelter him according to police. where is it going west, joe? >> it's not going to go away until you get a handle on it. when the progressives realized that what they did was open up hell's gate to new york city, when you have the likes of d.a. bragg, who doesn't prosecute these crimes, does not remand them, when you have the likes of the bail reform, it does not allow the judges to remand them, this is what happens, and is going to continue to happen. these are serious felons, career criminals that came over from other countries. they are career criminals for a reason. they make a career out of the things they do. it is bad enough we have to keep up with the ones we have here already that are out there because of the same broken system. now, as i stated, this is compounded by the fact we don't know who these individuals are until there prince of surface -- >> bill: sorry for
10:25 am
interrupting. it's not just new york. case in maryland, just mentioned massachusetts, a stunning story out of chicago, came across it. here is tom homan on the possibility we may actually not even know the real number. >> people need to understand it's a lot worse than what has been reported because the century cities, someone gets arrested for rape or assault or whatever, cities, we don't know the immigration status is because i.c.e. isn't allowed to go to the jail to interview them. >> bill: the point about that, depending on who wins this election, what he is talking about may be worse than he is describing p or i was not aware of this earlier today. in new york, one in five hotels are occupied by migrants? and on our screen right now, joe, these are massive tents, it is like a small city set up on randall's island. >> it's not just randall's island, you have it over in brooklyn, the gateway national park over there which affects the basin and
10:26 am
surrounding areas, they go all the way to coney island and bay boulevard where there are some children out in the middle of traffic selling things and it is just not these crimes alone, bill, it is the quality of life crimes, and we t this a while back. it wasn't even summer time, wait until summer time comes and this is the result of everybody getting out there, no tabs being kept and tom is 100% right. we have no idea within this country come all right, and they need to get a handle on this as soon as they can because the more they wait in the more they fail to enforce the policies by letting i.c.e. coming in and doing the jobs they have to do and deporting them and sending them back to venezuela, who said they won't take them but i guarantee you they will take them under certain circumstances, and you are right, the election depending on who gets and is going to make a big difference. >> bill: may be talking about a different story tomorrow but same subject. thanks for coming on, we will speak again, unfortunately, very soon. of a good afternoon.
10:27 am
here aishah in washington. >> aishah: thank you, bill. special counsel jack smith suddenly requesting a three week delay in trump's january 6th case so could the entire thing just get thrown out? kerri urbahn with her legal analysis is here with us next. >> bill: also question of the day will republicans retain control of the house come november? our brand-new power rankings are out. we will let you know what each party stands as of today. >> the issues are straightforward. grocery prices, gasoline prices, housing prices. the crisis at our southern border. kamala harris, the border czar, failed miserably in her responsibility. every day, more e are deciding it's time for a fresh approach to pet food. developed with vets. made from real meat and veggies. portioned for your dog. and delivered right to your door. it's smarter, healthier pet food.

>> bill: it is the battle for the gavel. brand-new fox power rankings reveal 19 toss-up races in the house. that will ultimately decide the majority. bryan llenas with more on which party has the upper hand as of today. bryan? >> bill, good afternoon, not exact lay the board but we do the best we can.
10:32 am
cording to fox news power rankings the edge right now goes to the republicans in terms of who could potentially get the majority of the house. we are forecasting 211 seats going to republicans on the start of election night, 205 going to democrats. that leaves 19 seats, competitive seats that are up there for toss-ups. the general forecast again, as i said, this is a toss-up with the edge going to republicans. take a look at 19 super competitive races. at least five of them include republicans who are seriously challenging democrats in deep blue california and in new york. another five races in battleground pennsylvania, michigan, and north carolina. one of those toss-up races includes, bill, your home state of ohio, ohio's ninth district is home to democratic congresswoman marcy captor. she has the longest-serving woman in congress now being challenged by republican state representative derek marron. he is endorsed by trump but seen
10:33 am
as more appealing to suburban voters in the last candidate who ran against her. registered voters from battleground michigan, minnesota, pennsylvania, and wisconsin, they tell us overwhelmingly their top issue is by far the economy. it is double the number of voters who say their top issue is the economy versus immigration. and then abortion. fox news 'lead political affairs specialist, the author of these power rankings, says the issues will be the decider in these races, "between multiple speaker battles and debt ceiling crisis, the sixth ever expulsion of a house lawmaker, and the first shrinking on the squad, there has been plenty to talk about on television and social media. these might seem like vulnerabilities for a ruling party, the republicans, but when it comes to their congressional ballot, americans are putting trauma and dissatisfaction aside. republicans currently have a thin 4-seat majority.
10:34 am
a good night for the g.o.p., bills, means they could win up o 230 seats, giving them a 13-seat advantage. >> bill: you got them, call it the bryan board, that works. bryan llenas in new york. thank you. aishah? >> aishah: i kind of like that. another delay in president trump's january 6th trial in d.c., the judge overseeing the trial is now agreeing to give special counsel jack smith until august 30th to lay out his case. smith asked for an extension last week to assess the new precedent set by the historic supreme court ruling on presidential immunity, throw a wrench into things for him. fox news legal editor kerri urbahn is here to dig into why oh why is he making this decision? if i may, kerri, i'm going to read off his request for this delay here. smith writes, although those consultations are well underway, the government has not finalized its position on the most appropriate schedule for the parties to brief issues related
10:35 am
to the decision, okay, the government therefore respect they request additional time to provide the court within formed proposal regarding the schedule for pretrial proceedings moving forward. so isn't it strange, kerri, for someone who is pushing so hard to have this trial before the election, to expedite things, he would suddenly now be saying whoa, whoa, whoa, give us a little bit of a delay? what is going on in jack smith's had? >> i think it is a little strange and i think it is telling. i think it means they could be changing the case, trimming it back a bit. but not because of the immunity decision, which everyone is so focused on, understandably a huge decision, we all understand that. it is because of another decision that came down in june, called fisher, and this decision did not get as much attention as i think it should have at the time, but with respect to january 6th, defendant and supreme court said he could not be charged for a federal statute that said it is a crime to interfere with an official
10:36 am
proceeding, because typically that statute had been unde understood, it was understood in the context of evidence tampering, document shredding, this law was fat know my past in the wake of enron when they are try to get rid of evidence. the department of justice the last few years have charged over threaded people in the capitol january 6th riots. the electoral proceeding process. that doesn't apply here, it has to do with documents. donald trump is another person they brought that charge against p or i can't help but wonder if they are driving back that indictment. >> aishah: if he has tried to narrow down this case, what we know about his case, how much restrategizing does he have to do to even still have a case? >> well, there is other charges, obstructing official proceedings was one of the heftier one, carries a 20 year maximum penalty in prison, but there are some other ones. however, i'm wondering if he is -- he is not supposed to be thinking about -- but is he
10:37 am
thinking about the november election? and how can he game this out to get the trial he wants? because he has indicated before that a matter what happens, he's going to go as long as he is allowed to, which could even mean after election, before inauguration, it donald trump were to win. of course, if donald trump were to win, this goes away because you can fire the special counsel and that's that. >> aishah: also getting to the six today period, supposedly, it sort of understood you are not supposed to bring charges or go to trial, or at least not talk about this prospective nominee around the 60-day period. >> he wouldn't do that come he wouldn't try that. when you are working within the defund of justice, the 60 day rule, it is a big thing. the spirit behind the rule is that the doj is not supposed to take any kind of steps that could impact the outcome of the election. whether real steps or the appearance of steps, so some have argued that bringing a trial right up to the election is going to impact the outcome of the election. jack smith's team, it was
10:38 am
already on the docket, but the reality is they have to be very, very careful in this time period. everyone at the deprived of justice knows that so we will see how that will play into this, as well. >> aishah: if trump does not win the election, though, you can expect jack smith to bring mr. matter what. >> they could changing things around but smith has indicated he wants to go as long as he c can. >> aishah: good view with the fish are part of this come i think everyone was focused on the immunity part but that is a good comparison. thank you so much, kerri urbahn, for joining us on your tuesday. bill? >> bill: aishah, this. >> really can't speak for what iran's end game is but i can tell you what ours is, and that is to prevent a wider regional war from spreading out within the middle east. that is always paramount. >> bill: that from earlier today on "america's newsroom," we are waiting for marks from the pentagon as officials signaf iran from on israel.
10:39 am

10:44 am
habit. good afternoon. here is the "washington examiner" on this whole story be a democrat in vp nominee tim walz on at least five occasions as governor of minnesota hosted a muslim cleric who celebrated hamas' attack last year and promoted this film among neo-nazis that glorifies adolf hitler. what do you know of this and how do you think this is being received? >> it is being received very badly, neil, in the jewish community. there are already serious doubts about kamala harris and her commitment to the state of israel for sympathy for the palestinians over the state of israel. this plays into those fears. walz has received praise already from the squad, from ilhan omar, and the doubts and the jewish community, both what i hear and in our polling, will be reinforced by his ties to this, whose views are antithetical to everything i think we stand for
10:45 am
and that jews believe in. >> bill: here is a muslim american society on this. it says it reaffirms its unwavering support for the palestinian people, israel's recent unprovoked attacks on palestinian areas have llama numerous lives including innocent civilians, children, women, the elderly, the blockade on gaza violates international law and must be condemned. remember, doug, talking about jewish americans in your first answer, there were 100,000 uncommitted in the democratic primary in the state of mic michigan, and their issue was opposite of that. there issue was gaza. how do we weigh both of these competing interests now? >> well, to me, they are not competing because it is hamas versus israel. i think it is a tragedy what has happened in gaza, but it's because of what happened on october 7th, because hamas is not committed to peace in the middle east. in fact, it's committed to the
10:46 am
removal and evisceration of the state of israel, and from where i sit, bill, most americans, and certainly jewish americans, find the views of the palestinians, and particularly hamas, abhorrent, and i think it is less and el toro calculation then what supports our democracy and what supports freedom and liberty in the world. >> bill: there is a primary today, and there is another squad member, ilhan omar, in minnesota, her job is on the line. this is don samuels yesterday on "america's newsroom," came within two points last time around. >> even though she is leading with the money, most of that money, 93%, comes from outside the state, and overwhelming energy in the community is for change, for replacing someone who has served herself financially, in terms of her popularity and her national
10:47 am
profile, and ignores the work at home and divides the community on contentious issues. >> bill: does he have what it takes to knock off the third squad member? >> he potentially does. the polls are relatively close. omar is ahead. i feel badly that the aipac organization, which is responsible for the two defeats of cori bush and jamaal bowman, did not get involved to support councilman samuels. he clearly would be better than ilhan omar, who i think again stands for values that are contrary to what we as americans believe and what is important for our country, and most importantly for the democratic party in an election year. >> bill: we will be watching that vote in minneapolis today. kamala harris' website doesn't even have the issues listed. when does that change?
10:48 am
>> it changes when the media forces her to. right now she has moved narrowly ahead of donald trump, without facing the press, without talking about issues. she's running on momentum, the vibe, enthusiasm, and until she is forced to confront the issues, she is not going to talk about them and not going to do press conferences. i would urge the trump campaign to talk only about issues, not raise extraneous issues about her ethnic city and race, things like that. the issues are what people care about, and ultimately what will decide this election. >> bill: in the last 24 hours i saw a piece in "the washington post" and "the new york times," i saw a piece in the hill, the blue wall. in a different manner of speaking. is asserting to break or are they cutting her slack continuously? >> they are cutting her slack but her leader she has wanted to
10:49 am
or three points best case for her. the bottom line, and a lot of doubts about her, people still believe trump was a better president. then joe biden. and they have real doubts about the biden-harris policies. there are doubts about trump ari think to the extent the race is about issues, people get a real choice, and it will give the american people a chance to make a decision, what is going to improve their quality of life in the future, rather than focus on issues -- >> bill: going to have a big week next week in chicago. i want to squeeze this in. tim walz is under a lot of fire. not just this imam, but his military record. is this the effect of a vetting process that moves so quickly? >> it absolutely is. there wasn't a complete vetting process, as there wasn't with j.d. vance, and i think we have seen the effect. i'm much more worried, frankly, about what tim walz, the nominee
10:50 am
of my party, has said and done then j.d. vance's in felicitous comments about women who don't have children. but both are really problematic and raise questions about the quick vetting process on both sides. >> bill: doug schoen, we will talk in a couple of days. things are coming on. aishah? >> aishah: good stuff. the deadly fentanyl crisis gripping many of our biggest cities and giving rise to a numb another epidemic. another problem on our hands. this involves a weaker, diluted version of the opioid peer michael shellenberger is here with more on that straight ahead. >> bill: plus we are tracking tropical storm ernesto, gaining strength around puerto rico, and fox weather's nicole valdes standing by outside of san juan. how goes it busbar, nicole? >> bill, the rain just started but we are bracing for what could be incredible flooding and

ernesto gains strength in the atlantic near puerto rico. fox news whether correspondent nicole valdes live just outside of san juan now. nicole, starting to rain. when do you think ernesto is going to hit you? >> hey, aishah. we are expecting that to happen in a matter of hours. we are just east of san juan, a town where we have seen a lot of people spending their time getting as ready as they can for the potential impact of the storm, as you can see we are standing along the beach, not only is it shut down, the red flag warnings in place, but behind me some incredibly large waves, may be 6 feet, if not greater, this is an area where we expect to see some of the worst of ernesto's storm surge a punch here in just a short few hours, coupled with anywhere from 6-8 inches of rain. we saw it earlier today were several beaches across the northern tier of the island shut down as deadly rip currents on y
