>> steve: 7:00 a.m. in new york city on a couch on this tuesday, september 10th. it's "fox & friends" for debate day we are 15 hours 26 section away from the presidential debate. kamala harris has a lot of explaining to do. >> did that interview with cnn and they asked her what will you do on day one? and she couldn't answer. how do you not know the answer to that question when you are the major party nominee? >> great question. we hope we will get some answers this morning when her senior campaign spokesperson joins us live this hour. >> i was drawn by my reaction. >> ainsley: you were smiling. >> brian: i was. migrant mayhem ohio residents plead for help as haitian immigrants transform their town

and not in a good way. in maryland an ms-13 gang member suspected of murder, hey, why not go to high school? he is enrolled at the local high school. what is happening i ask you generically. answer at home. >> stunning video from tyreek hill's detainment. attorneys for one of the officers involved speaking out in fox news exclusive. >> lawrence: the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> well, the countdown is on. as you can see right there to th philly. >> ainsley: we're so excited about this. it is the first and possibly own time vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump will be face to face before the november election. >> lawrence: both candidates are prepping for a night that could define the rest of their campaign. >> brian: we were going to sit on the couch and countdown clock

and debate. we have team conch in philadelphia peter doocy following kamala harris' debate strategy. first go to alexandria hoff who is following team trump. alex? >> team trump has down played preparation efforts saying unlike harris, the former president has been constantly answering these unscripted questions while on the campaign trail. and he didn't let up this weekend. hosting a rally in wisconsin. according to the campaign preparing to debate the former president is something that no campaign democrat could prepare for. >> we have had the big huge press conferences unscripted. questions from many of you. we had the long form interviews. we had the shorter side. the rally speeches. we have downtown halls. you can't prepare for president trump. there is just oway to do it. it's -- imagine like boxer trying to prepar mayweather or muhammed ali. but, of course trump isn't

winging it really. allies like former congresswoman and democrat tulsi gabbard who shared the debate stage with harris during the 2020 primary prep. >> president trump knows her record. he obviously has a record of success that he can stand on. and is he going to challenge kamala harris on exactly that and keep reminding voters who she really is, not the actor that she will present herself to be tomorrow night. >> now, republicans have suggested that trump must show restraint. the muted mic situation might help knowing that harris is looking for a moment to look like he is disrespecting her or women as a whole. nikki haley feels that team trump needs to work on phrasing if they want to draw in more female voters. >> donald trump and j.d. vance need to change the way they speak about women. you don't need to call kamala dumb. she didn't get this far just by accident. she is here. that's what it is. she is a prosecutor. you don't need to go and talk

about intelligence or looks or anything else. just focus on the policies. >> and as for policies, yesterday trump revealed that he promised hey that is making to halt taxes on social security benefits saying under the biden-harris administration. seniors have simply been hurt, guys? >> ainsley: okay, thank you so much. so now let's check in with peter doocy with a look at how team hairs is preparing. hey, peter. >> ainsley, tonight is going to be kind of surreal for vice president harris because for the last couple days, she has been staring at a staffer dressed at donald trump and tonight she is going to meet him in person for the first time ever. >> i think is he going to lie. he has a playbook that he has used in the past, um, be it, you know, his attacks on president obama or hillary clinton.

so, we should expect some of that might come out. >> peter: the vice president claims her values have not changed since 2019. tonight she may have to explain why in 2019 she supported sex changes for migrants with this quote i support policies ensuring fellow detainees and surgical care while incarcerated or detained. she also may need to explain tonight the call to cut ice funding also in 2019. quote our immigrant detention system is out of control. i believe we must end the unfair incarceration of thousands of individuals, families and children. i was one of the first senators after president trump was elected to advocate for a decrease in funding to ice. the basics of the rules tonight are as follows: muted microphones, no live studio audience, only a pen, paper and water on stage. no prewritten notice. the answers are two minutes.

the rebuttals are two minutes. follow-ups are one anyone. the vice president decided to spend most of this week in pennsylvania. debate camp in pittsburgh. flew here to philadelphia yesterday in the afternoon. spent the night at a hotel as opposed to donald trump who plans to fly up from florida later on this afternoon. back to you. >> steve: peter, they have never come face to face. i know the former president mentioned about a week ago there was a possibility at some point he might present her with special gift. >> peter: yes. former president trump said at a rally he thinks because he feels that the vice president is borrowing from his platform with things like the taxes on -- no taxes on tips and he says that he has got a specially made maga hat for the vice president. [laughter] >> peter: it seems like they don't want the candidates to have props on the stage tonight. but what are they going to do? pat him down to make sure he

doesn't have a hat in his jacket if that is what he decides to do? >> steve: that would be epic moment. >> ainsley: what would it say? >> lawrence: maga. >> ainsley: he says it's a special one. make america healthy again. make america whatever it is. what would it say make america tip free? it would be something. >> lawrence: maybe just his autograph on it. >> ainsley: we will see. >> peter: yeah. and she could wear it. >> steve: right. and we would show that tomorrow morning. we have got ian sam's. senior kamala harris campaign spokesperson going to join us in about a half an hour. >> brian: donald trump said about six sessions. sat with tulsi gabbard, sat with matt gaetz and talked about some of the attack lines that could be coming his way. and i think he has got to be ready for the project 2025 he has disavowed it. say a lot of your vice president endorsed it. endorsed the 900 page book that was before he was vice president

and senator by the way. they said about project 2025. why would thatten it? i think it will be effective with that. the one thing they are going to say when it comes to afghanistan, they are going to say well you had the doha agreement. when it comes to -- when it came to the economy, you gave crater the economy. the president has to be ready to answer that i didn't give you a cratered economy i gave you a vaccine and got people back to work. you kept people in lock down for months and kids out of school. he has got to be ready for that american people fundamentally fatigued by the pandemic talk. what she is going to look to be cool, composed and look worthy. if you are going to talk about some of her policies, trump has got to make a decision do you focus more on 2020 or focus more on the last three and a half years in the biden administration? to me, there's a lot of targets. that is a target-rich environment. >> lawrence: has to be about the numbers. number of people that have crossed the border. number of americans that has died. >> brian: wait a second i controlled it through executive action. and you forced me away.

>> lawrence: you say that to the parents that were killed, o -- kids were killed by illegals. he should mention their names. are you called them, clarifies? he should talk about the numbers of seniors that have had to go back to work. the kids that have to move back in with their parents because they can't afford this economy. everything has to be about the numbers and how it's impacting americans on the day-to-day -- tell their stories. she is going to try make it all about him. people don't care about that. they care about their circumstance. >> brian: make him look selfish. doing it for himself. >> ainsley: marc thiessen wrote a op-ed. knock her out of the race in this one debate. saying she has had cringe worthy word salads but that donald trump has some risks as well. he can't come in too hot. number one he says that donald trump needs to remind swing voters of what they like about him and his policies. and he says, you know, donald trump will get on stage and say, you know, stick -- everyone is telling me stick to my policies,

don't get personal. yet, the democrats are personal all night long. we saw that at the dnc. says when he focuses on policy, he reminds swing voters of what they liked about his presidency. number two, steve, do you want to take that? >> steve: don't remind swing voters of what they don't like about him. and, you know, there are -- you know, would very heard a lot of people talk about okay. donald trump, get too personal and that is terrible for him. stick to policy. >> ainsley: don't mention january 6th. if you do, you are going to lose. kamala will try to bait him into defending january 6th. and he can't take that bait. >> steve: we would have to see how they do that point 3. make harris the incumbent and tie her to biden. that's not too hard because she is and she is. >> ainsley: go ahead. >> steve: go ahead. >> ainsley: number 3 he says trump needs to remind voters that she has been in office for four years. don't call her comrade kamala. call her madam vice president. >> steve: there you go. and finally make harris' own her

record. listen, the problem is she has got a lot on her record. because she has flip flopped so many times or changed policies. whatever. nonetheless, the former president, i'm sure, is prepared for that and i'm sure she is as well. marc thiessen was on our program about 45 minutes ago and said this about what the former president needs to do. >> his audience tonight is not maga voters. his audience is a small number of undecided swing voters in a handful of swing states decide the presidential elections. those are voters who don't like the direction of the country. thought that he did a good job as president but don't like a lot of his behavior and a lot of things he says and reluctant to put him back in the oval office. everything he says tonight should keep in mind those voters and persuade them to vote for him. how do you prepare for a presidential debate? what do you do? first you go through a series of primaries where you're being challenged by your own party. then you do town halls with voters. to the nor antic voters, real

voters people challenging you. then you do interviews with media and do press conferences where people ask you tough questions. then you lay out some major policy speeches where you lay out your agenda and think through what i want to do as president and arguments to defend that. and she hasn't done any of that. >> lawrence: the hard thing about everyone that, of course, we all think we're the smartest people and you want to provided a vice for the former president. you say that on tv and everything. i think the most challenging part is he's not your typical politician. so when you are providing advice to him about what he should do. has to be within his style. because he is going to be donald trump as we have seen time and time again. and i think he's to go on the offense. i think the only piece of advice i would say is totally fine to go on the offense. just keep it within the policies that affect people on the day-to-day basis. he is going to do nicknames. that's who he is as a person. he is going to want to attack, attack, attack. you just can't allow her to get

under your skin. can. >> brian: bernie sanders saying she is saying anything to get elected she still progressive. number two have somebody covered for joe biden for three and a half years up until the day that she got the phone call from joe biden. she was defending him and his debate performance with anderson cooper that night. so what else are you not telling the truth about? >> ainsley: you were against the border. now you are for it. you were for decriminalizing illegals now you don't want to do that the green new deal you won't talk about it. fracking, i was against it. now you are for it. medicare for all. now you are against that? who is the real kamala harris? >> brian: great policy transition prisoners giving them taxpayer dollars. that's going to be something to run run on. ultimately the donald trump debate style was great for 2016. fast-forward to today a different donald trump. he gets personal as he was in those first two debates in 2016. if he sticks to policy, his team will say he won. >> brian: i know we are all moammar tour since 2016.

>> ainsley: let's grow up together. >> brian: meanwhile ohio's attorney general plans to sue the federal government to stop the biden harris administration from sending more migrants to his state. >> ainsley: promise of legal action comes as the small city of springfield, ohio, is overwhelmed by this crisis. >> lawrence: what a mess. griff jenkins joins us with the latest on this. hey, griff. >> good morning, guys. more than a thousand miles north of the u.s. mexico border springfield is struggling with the consequences of the border crisis. it's a small town of 58,000. city officials say more than 20,000 haitians have arrived in the past four years. and they are fed up. >> i have men that cannot speak english in my front yard screaming at me. throwing mattresses in my front yard. look at me. i weigh 95 pounds i couldn't defend myself if i had to. >> i challenge you guys to get out here and do something. these haitians are running into

gas cans. they are running into buildings. they are running into -- they flipping cars in the middle of the street. >> according to cpd data the administration has brought over 205,000 haitians to the u.s. through its controversial chmv program. ohio's attorney general dave yost says this is going to break springfield if he doesn't get relief and suing the federal government for it saying this is absurd. springfield has swolen more than a third due to migrants. how many people can they be expected to take? what are the limits to the federal government's power? meanwhile, in maryland, we're learning ms-13 gang member named walter martinez, who came here illegally from al is a have a door unaccompanied minor enrolled in a maryland public high school. just months after raping and killing 20-year-old kayla hamilton two years ago fox's baltimore affiliate says martinez pled guilty to murder last month and sentenced to 70

years in prison. guys? >> brian: a 50 state problem. thanks so much, griff. these people in ohio. everyone is focused in ohio. i mean, look at some of those town halls. i didn't see democrats or republicans. i saw citizens whose day-to-day life is infected by irresponsible lawmakers many come from the federal government. stick them in a small town they won't say anything. maybe have a democratic mayor. everyone becomes -- everyone becomes apolitical when you can't go to school. when you can't go parks. and when your stools are taken up by illegals. >> lawrence: brian, it's a two-prong problem. you got the criminal activity. taking over the schools and rec censors and all that cbo report and fox business has done some reporting about the surge of foreign born people taking american jobs. donald trump says black jobs in the last debate. everybody goes crazy. but many americans know that there has been a tampering within the market. you are paying these people slave wages and they are not -- americans aren't saying that

they won't do the job but they're not going to do it for that wage. americans are being hit by both sides. the criminal activity as well as their jobs being taken. >> brian: what about taxes? >> lawrence: don't get me started on >> steve: this is one of the reasons why on the polls, immigration, the border always number two. the economy number one by a landslide. but number two, it's all about the border and ultimately it's about safety. >> ainsley: springfield, ohio. population 58,000. they bring in 20,000 migrants from haiti? >> lawrence: it's crazy. >> ainsley: let's look at more headlines for you. right thought polaris dawn crew is traveling through space after blasting off from cape canaveral this morning. >> 3, 2, 1. ignition. and go falcon, go polaris. [cheers and applause] >> copy 1 alpha. >> ainsley: the civilian astronauts are on their way to r

orbit reach altitude of 870 miles. the crew will attempt the first ever commercial spacewalk. new hampshire governor chris sununu now has two official titles, politician and lifesaver. the republican saved the life of a choking contestant on stage during a lobster roll eating contest on sunday. the quick-thinking governor telling a local outlet he noticed that the contestant was struggling to breathe so he started the heimlich maneuver. incredibly sununu says the contestant went on to shovel down seven more lobster rolls. he was not giving up. >> steve: i hope he took. >> that's why you should travel with the lifevac. >> lawrence: i have one. i love it. >> brian: we have one in two rooms. >> ainsley: have them at home but don't have them when we go out to eat. i was at the steakhouse when that happened to somebody who works on our staff.

in 2016, donald trump said he would choose only the best people to work in his white house. now those people have a warning for america: trump is not fit to be president again. here's his vice president: “anyone who puts himself over the constitution should never be president of the united states.” “i cannot in good conscience endorse donald trump this year.”

his defense secretary: “do you think trump can be trusted with the nation's secrets ever again?” “no. i mean, it's just irresponsible action that places our service members at risk, places our nation's security at risk.” his national security advisor: “donald trump will cause a lot of damage.” “the only thing he cares about is donald trump.” and the nation's highest ranking military officer: “we don't take an oath to a king or a queen. or a tyrant or a dictator. and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator.” take it from the people who knew him best: donald trump is a danger to our troops and our democracy. we can't let him lead our country again. i'm kamala harris and i approve this message

palestinians. you can see in this aftermath video people digging through the debris. this was an area filled with tents and civilians. though the israeli military says they were targeting a hamas and control and command center. statement provided to fox news by the idf says the unit was killed with two other hamas members. currently no diplomatic solutions to end the war inside gaza. we're also tracking another development as the united nations is set to vote next week on a resolution to end israeli presence in the west bank. the vote is largely symbolic but illustrates the growing pressure israel faces in the region. it also comes as the chief commander of the irgc issued new threats against israel this week saying, quote: the nightmare of iran's inevitable response is shaking israel day and night. the commander talking about tehran's response to the killing of hamas leader ismail haniyeh this summer in the iranian capital. iranian military activity expanding, israel's ministerio

college campuses. the issues of releasing american hostages and these are paramount to our community. and while it is true that americans have typically voted for the democratic party, myself included, i registered to vote as a democrat the day i turned 18. the reality ask we need our party to understand that they are not making the necessary policy implementations or procedures that would win us over. >> lawrence: i have had different officials on, different representative, and they continue to make the point to me that the party at large supports the israeli people. the jewish people. but these are just outlies, what would you say to those people. >> look, i wish they were right. would he know that the squad has tripled in size. five years ago 10 democrats skipped prime minister benjamin netanyahu's address to congress. this year 110. they were all democrats. so i wish i could say that this was simply relegated to a small minority. but the reality is as i mentioned in my speech republican jewish coalition last week. republicans like the house ways

and means chairman jason smith, congresswoman virginia foxx of the education committee, they released public letters to universities saying what will you do to enforce your policies to combat anti-semitism, not one democrat signed off on it. look, my congressman is ritchie torres, an incredible person i will continue to vote for him as long as he runs. there is a reason why ritchie torres and john fetterman were not at the democratic national convention. it's because our party is fundamentally different than the party of just four or five years ago. >> lawrence: they weren't welcome. >> exactly. >> lawrence: shabbos, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> lawrence: ahead of the debate we are talking to the harris campaign senior spokesperson. he is next. he is next. ♪ony. creates an incredible melody of power and possibility. but that energy needs to be reliable to have the same power. and affordable — to keep the melody. at home, on the road, on farms and fleets and even ports — propane and renewable propane lower carbon emissions while harnessing the full symphony of energy.

>> we are 13 and a half hours away from tonight's abc presidential debate. the first and likely only time kamala harris and donald trump will face off before election day. first time they have ever met in person. the big event happens in pennsylvania where harris has been hunkered down at a hotel in pittsburgh since thursday. joining us right now with an inside look, senior harris campaign spokesman ian sam's. ian, thank you very much for joining us is she nervous. >> she is ready. i think she has been looking

forward to this debate. it's an opportunity for both she and former president trump to explain to the country what it is they want to do as president. there will be a clear contrast on that stage. i think that vice president harris represents the future wants to turn the page on the past new way forward tore this country. donald trump represents something old, something stale. something people are ready no move on from. he will have to answer for some of his positions. why august the sudden is he for no taxes on tips when thinks administration tried to take tips away from tip workers and give it to their bosses. you know, why is he changing his position on an abortion ban in florida two times within a 24 hour span? i mean, these are the kind of things that donald trump is going to have to answer for to explain to the country and i think he is going to have to figure out for just a few minutes during this debate whether he can talk about anything other than himself. i think he wants to spend more time complaining about her crowd

sizes compared to his than talking about the issues that really matter to the american people. >> steve: i think. >> that's what the vice president is going to do. she is going to talk about her plans to lower people's costs. he had plans to take on grocery prices and her plans to build more housing in this country so housing can be more affordable to people. those are the things she is going to be talking about n debate. i think it will be interesting to see what president trump talks about. >> steve: right. is it true that at the hotel in pittsburgh you guys have a guy who is dressed up donald trump. is he wearing a wig. did you go party city get a lecturn i know you got lights and stuff like that. all trying to get under her skin as she tries to get under his skin? >> i think your network knows quite well that the last decade the trump impersonation business has been booming that's not exactly what happens when you do debate prep.

when she is preparing for her debate she wants to try to ensure that she understands the kind of things that the former president may say. the proposals is he going to aoutline. the attacks that he may try to land and, of course, she is preparing for that. that's the responsible way to do any sort of debate preparation. obviously president trump has been doing a lot of preparation himself with former congresswoman gabbard and gaetz is he trying to prepare because he wants to be ready as well. >> steve: sure. >> i think both candidates are preparing and she is looking forward to the opportunity to showcase to the american people the difference what she is offering and what trump is offering. >> steve: ian, yesterday she said i think it was yesterday or the day before. she said she was planning on him lying. is she going to try to live fact-check him and if so how is that going to work if the mic is turned off. >> yeah, i mean you talk about the microphones, the microphone muting issue is a challenge. i think it's a challenge for the viewers viewer who wants to see these candidates engage each

other. she is not fact-checker in chief. that will be the job of the media and pundits paying attention and following along. but she is going to hold him accountable when he lies. one thing we know about donald trump, is he can't basically get through a sentence without saying something that is even a little bit hyperbolic if not a flat out lie. so, you know, is he going to be held accountable for that in this debate. she is happy to do that as appropriate. she wants to spend her time actually communicating to the american people her vision. for example, just last week she rolled out a plan to help small businesses grow. expand the tax deduction for new small businesses from 5,000 to $50,000. because it takes $40,000 on average to start a small business in this country. i think there is a lot of fox news viewers out there who don't necessarily hear a lot about her plans to help small business and to create opportunity in the economy. people like ce os like mark cuban former ceo of pepsi and ford and loift.

these american companies coming out to endorse her in this campaign saying she is the most pro-business in this race. these are the kind of things she wants to communicate to the american people about her vision for the country as opposed to president trump who wants to give tax cuts to billionaires and those at the very top and hopes that helps everyone else. >> steve: ian, you know she has problems. one of the problems how she has changed positions on stuff. you have been with her for awhile. you were with her campaign in 2019 when she was against fracking, she was for medicare for all. against border wall funding. she called it unamerican. how is she going to explain the flip-flopping? >> well, look, vice president harris has spent the last three and a half years as the vice president of the united states. and what has she been able to do as the vice president of the united states? she has been able to work with president biden toward consensus driven solutions that can actually make change in people's lives. you bring up medicare for all.

she doesn't support medicare for all. she is not running on medicare for all. >> steve: she was. >> the progress we have made in this administration on healthcare. for example, capping the cost of insulin for seniors 35 bucks. capping eaten soiers out-of-pocket drug costs. those are things that she cast the tiebreaking vote to get done in this administration. and so she has learned from her experience as the vice president that we don't need these big dramatic upheaval shifts in our society when we can actually work together to make the same kind of big progress on these issues that she has always cared about. >> steve: ian, as you just said as vice president she has learned. she is going to explain this evolution? i know bernie sanders a couple days ago said she is going to be pragmatic because she is essentially saying anything she has to to get elected. >> well, bernie sanders was deeply critical of her in the primary in 2019 as well. but, she is pragmatic. she does want to work together. she wants to work across the

aisle to get things done for the american people. it's who she is. when she was coming up in california as a prosecutor and attorney general. she took on gangs in mexico who were smuggling people across the border. smuggling drugs across the border. she took on big banks who were scamming consumers and got $20 billion of relief for homeowners during the housing crisis. that's who she is as a person. and her values are to take care of people. to fight for people. she wants to make sure that everybody has access to had healthcare. she wants to do stuff about the climate. create clean energy jobs. those are the things she really cares about. but what over the course of the last four years as vice president, she has seen that we can make that progress by pursuing common sense solutions instead of big, dramatic overall upheaval that has been divisive and could take time that we just don't have to get these things done. >> steve: ian, why are the surrogates lowering exceptions on her? i know she has been saying we are the underdog but we have seen all sorts of people over the last 72 hours say you know,

crump has done this seven times. this is her first time. is he really good at it. are you worried about her performance? >> >> no, she is going to be ready and ready to share her position in the debate. talking about structure of the debate. donald trump's team threatened to pull him out of this debate unless he could have a muted microphone. >> steve: ian, that's the deal that you guys, you know, the biden campaign which is now the kamala harris campaign, agreed to that originally. that was your suggestion. you guys wrote it all out and put it out on social media and then trump goes i'm for all that stuff. it was your idea. initially. >> well, we have two different -- we have a different candidate now. vice president harris is a different candidate that president biden. >> steve: you are sticking by the same date. >> about having a real dialogue in this debate to where the two candidates could engage. president trump's team wouldn't budge. they weren't willing to have president trump be unmuzzled to

talk about what he really wants to talk about in this debate. they wanted to keep him controlled in a two-minute span so that he didn't veer off wildly off script. so i think what we have been talking about, you asked about sort of the exceptions of this debate, you know, president trump is going to be more restrained. is he going to be more discipline because the microphones are going to force him not to veer off script. not to lash out. not to attack. even though he may want to do it. but his team worked very hard to try to keep that rule in place so that he wouldn't be able to do it. >> steve: it looks like -- so she did that interview about a week or so ago with cnn, and she is going to do the one debate that we know of. is there any possibility -- you know, you keep talking about fox news viewers. she should come on fox and speak to their concerns directly and we have got a big couch here. it would be great to have her on the program, ian. come on. invite her. tell her i officially invited her on "fox & friends."

>> that's very kind. i will relay that to the vice president for sure. i know, you know, she has talked at the white house a number of times to peter doocy and jacqui heinrich, excellent reporters who are there at the white house. you know, she is going to be doing more events across the country. hitting the campaign trail later this week going to north carolina and going to pennsylvania. she it is going to be doing more interviews. she is going to be doing more events. >> steve: bring her on "fox & friends." she shouldn't be afraid -- bring her on "fox & friends" then. you know, if she can't talk to us, god forbid how she deals with putin. >> we ain't afriend of "fox & friends." i'm sitting here talking to you and enjoying it very much. >> steve: i appreciate you stopping by. all right. you have a big day. ian, thanks so much. >> thanks, steve. >> steve: all right. there you got what she is planning for tonight with ian sam's. we're going to step aside more "fox & friends" in just a minute. minute. ♪
