girl in texas, the woman in georgia and maryland and on the list goes. >> dana: how about the woman at coney island that got raped while the friends held back her boyfriend and just about killed him. >> bill: we want to leave you with this from remembering 9/11. this is an image that maybe a lot of people did not think would happen today. you got chuck schumer and kamala harris and joe biden and michael bloomberg and donald trump and jd vance all in the same row. >> dana: senator gillibrand is there as well. one of the things that makes america great. a big debate the night before and fight it out and then come together for the country. we do this better than any country in the world over and over again. they will get back to the campaign trail after today. >> bill: today we remember and we will never forget. >> dana: here is harris faulkner. >> harris: fox news alert. as this date continues we've

seen former president trump and his running mate jd vance meet with firefighters in new york city. this day marking 23 years since terrorists attacked our nation on september 11th. remembrance ceremony at ground 0 began this morning with president and vice president biden and harris, and former president trump and ohio senator vance. it was also the second time that the two, kamala harris and donald trump, have met in the past 24 hours. the first, of course, was last night's presidential debate. it was a tense match-up that some people today are calling an unfair fight. i would be one of those people. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." former president trump and vice president kamala harris traded barbs on that philadelphia stage last night. critics say the v.p. had some help. >> president donald trump did a good job.

>> a three-on-one cage match. the moderators were so biased anyone could see it. >> terribly moderated debate. three against one. >> a three-on-one debate. disappointing she didn't have her feet held to the fire by the moderators. they went out of their way to try to do that to donald trump. >> harris: headline after headline. just a small sample. vice president harris made it through with help from abc. another moderator's debate for harris, a third harris survived with a huge assist from the moderators. the "new york post" cover calls it a cam-bush. they gang up on former president trump during the debate. the former president with his take on "fox & friends" today. >> i think we did great. it was three to one, a rigged deal as i assumed it would be. when you looked at the fact that they were correcting everything

and not correcting with her. and we knew it. it was 100% good coverage for her within the last month or last year. i looked at it and only bad coverage of me. >> harris: specifically the moderators fact checked former president trump live on the air at least five times throughout the 90 minute plus debate. the number of times harris got the same treatment fact checking, 0. we know this is a thing with abc. they tried it at the nabj. conversation he was having with journalists there. i was one of the people on stage with him. that started off very similar to what we saw last night. the moderators waited 40 minutes to ask the vp about her sudden reversal. the flip-flopping on a growing list of far left policies since becoming the democratic presidential nominee, 40 minutes. in fact, the president had to bring it up. after her questionable answer on only one of those policies,

there were no follow-up questions from the moderators. no fact checking. former president trump did not wait for the moderators to call out those flip-flops as i just mentioned. watch. >> i don't say her she has no policy. everything that she believed three years and four years ago is out the window. she is going to my philosophy now. i was going to send her a maga hat. >> harris: alexandria hoff is in philadelphia now. >> hi, harris, the pace of this debate last night was certainly interesting. when the former president was asked by fox if he would consider doing another debate he said he would have to think about it. who could blame him. he called it a three-on-one. many viewers thought the same thing. the two candidates met on stage for the first time at philadelphia's constitution center last night and did so with a handshake. same set of rules to follow. many called out one difference early on. how the live fact checking by

moderators seemed to go in one direction. >> there is no state in this country legal to kill a baby after its born. >> abc news reached out to the city manager saying there have been no credible reports and no evidence of that. president trump, the f.b.i. says overall violent crime is actually coming down in the country. the question was about u.s. president and not pelosi. i watched all these pieces of video and didn't detect the sarcasm. you did bring up something and said she went to negotiate with vladimir putin. have you ever met vladimir putin? >> yes or no you still do not have a plan? >> some of those fact checks needed context of their own. bottom line is the goal was to keep the attention on harris policies. instead trump was forced to mostly play defense. the scrutiny that harris was dealt appeared more mild to many critics. the statement the vice president made that was false or lacking

contexts were allowed to go unchecked. >> the detailed and dangerous plan called project 2025 that the former president intends on implementing. couples who pray and dream of having a family are being denied ivf treatment. if donald trump were to be reelected, he will sign a national abortion ban. >> for example, trump said he is not associated with project 2025. he supports protecting ivf treatment and says he doesn't support a national abortion ban. harris, those needed more context. she mentioned the bloodbath comment that was taken out of context originally. talking about an economic bloodbath, not a violent one. >> harris: the fact checking on 2025 we've been talking about for a while. the director of that who oversaw it for heritage foundation said the person who actually created

it, not trump. he resigned from his job. he was under pressure because former president trump has been criticizing the project. "new york times," a lot of pieces. all you have to do is google. trump murtaugh, trump campaign senior advisor . talk to me about the former president asked about debating again. he said why would he, he won the debate? what are the thoughts around doing another debate? >> i think the president has already been clear we have another one on the books to be hosted by nbc on september 25th. we'll see if kamala harris shows up to that. she indicated last night that they are talking about a nebulous date sometime in october. they still argued right up to really the opening bell last night about that. i think she probably views that she still has more work to do, harris. because what we saw last night from her was that she did not achieve the goals she set out to

achieve. we know that because her allies in the media are pointing it out to her. "the new york times" and reuters say that she did not reach the voters that she intended to reach. because we still haven't heard from her and voters have not heard from her exactly what's inside her plan, whatever the plans might be, why she hasn't done anything about these problems with the country that she has identified in the 3 1/2 years she has been the vice president and also didn't do a very good job of separating herself from joe biden. i know that was one of her goals. she is tied to joe biden. they are like conjoined twins. she and joe biden are so close not even dr. ben carson can separate them. that's one of her main problems. she can't explain adequately for anybody to hear how it is that she has arrived at these 180 degree changes from her previous positions that she has had for decades. i sued barack obama to stop fracking and in pennsylvania she says i'm for it? no one believes it. she didn't do any of that to

repair that last night and it shows. >> harris: an excellent point to bring up. if the moderators weren't curious or what. the former president brought it up first. 40 minutes into that 90 plus minute debate. almost two hours. that they even asked about it after he had. so what about the flip-flopping? why did it take so long? >> why did it take so long for them to bring it up to her? i think it's obvious they were in the tank for her and absolutely was three to one. this is one of the main problems and what people knew would be her issue heading into this debate. they put so much pressure on her, her team did for her performance here. they hid her away for 51 days seps the interview with tim walz. when she showed up last night in philadelphia there was so much pressure on her to explain all of these crazy changes in positions. no one believes this.

you can't sue barack obama to stop fracking off the coast of california and then come to pennsylvania and say hey, i'm all for it. you can't call the border wall on our southern border to control illegal immigration unamerican and show images of that border wall in your tv ads when you are saying look at me, i'm tough on enforcing the border. you can't try to force everyone into driving electric vehicles and outlaw gas powered cars with your electric vehicle mandates and suddenly when you are called on it and in michigan the auto industry is struggling and losing billion else of dollars and jobs because of the ev mandates and then suddenly say i never supported that. no one believes it. no one believes it. >> harris: you would have to know that. you have to know the original policy to compare it where wherever it is migrating to now. vice president harris's microphone may have been muted when president trump was talking last night. however, her face was not muted and it was not covered. we could see what was going on there and critics were quick to

call out the over the top ex prickss on her face. miranda devine called them rehearsed and exaggerating saying she comes across as fake and weak. a daily wire reporter says they convey a sense of dishonesty and nervousness. another one calls them overcoached and weird. >> there is no question. we expected her to be able to go out and deliver a performance because she can memorize lines and memorize stage directions. >> harris: she did. >> the question is what does she say, not how she says it. we know she is able to deliver lines that she has memorized and why she gave us this incredible gold nugget when she said my values haven't changed when she did the cnn interview. what that means it is a straight line as the liberal d.a. as san francisco up to today. everything in her record, when

she says my values hasn't changed brings it up to pretense and code talk to the left when she says my values haven't changed she tells the left don't worry, i have to say these things to get elected but at heart i'm still one of you. she is caught on her own agenda. backing this up with tv ads. an ad going up today to call her out on the fracking issue. you can't say i'm an opponent of fracking and come to pennsylvania and say i want to protect fracking jobs even though for 20 years she hates the thing. it was a disaster last night and you will see she did not accomplish anything that she set out to do last night. the media loves her and trying to create the mini burst of enthusiasm like they did when she became the candidate. not going to work. >> harris: it's not a change in any sort of way. when she says she is the change agent she doesn't mean that to feather out to the liberal and legacy media. that wouldn't be true. they are right in there with her. that was on full display.

i saw it up close in chicago as the black journalist conference. >> good to see you. >> harris: millions of voters tuned in last night to watch the presidential candidates debate the nation's top issues. we will hear directly from our own voters' voices. we pull from all over the place and we have some in, some fresh new faces, too. we'll get into it next. veteran homeowners, car payments are getting out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans. hi guys! bill, you look great! now that i have inspire, i'm free from struggling with the mask and the hose.

inspire? inspire is a sleep apnea treatment that works inside my body with a click of this button. where are you going? i'm going to get inspire. learn more and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com. philip: when your kid is hurting and there's nothing you can do about it, that's the worst feeling in the world. kristen: i don't think anybody ever expects to hear that their child has cancer. it's always one of those things that happens to somebody else, but it's definitely feels like your soul is sucked out of your body when they tell you that it's your baby. and you would do anything to get them to the best place that they can be for their treatment.

and i knew with everything in my soul that that was saint jude and that we had to get here. announcer: join the battle to save lives during childhood cancer awareness month by supporting saint jude children's research hospital. please call or go online right now and become a saint jude partner in hope for only $19 a month. hunter: my name is hunter. i'm at saint jude because i had osteosarcoma. osteosarcoma is a special cancer that's in the bone. so they had to amputate my leg. [music playing] you're looking at a hero it takes a fighter philip: good catch. (singing) you're looking at a hero in the fight kristen: my hero. philip: here at st. jude you don't ever have to worry about how much treatment costs. you never get a bill ever for any of it. announcer: this september when you call or go

online with your credit or debit card, you will receive this saint jude t-shirt you can wear to show your support to help saint jude save the lives of these children. kristen: without the donors. saint jude wouldn't be here. hunter: thank you so much. you have saved so many kids. announcer: let's cure childhood cancer together.

>> harris: we heard directly from the presidential candidates last evening debating our nation's most pressing issues and we heard the spin from all of their allies, that's their job, actually. and the analysis from the experts. now it is time to hear the most

important voices ever. those belong to the voters all over the country, voters' voices. in the front row let's meet those in today. first of all i want to welcome you, jeanine. i'm going to go through and we'll follow up with what your party is and who you are voting for and all that. rueben, you joined us before. welcome back. and we have alexandria. thank you for being here. jay, welcome back. it will be spirited with jay in the house and rueben. amanda in the center and david, welcome back. you and i have talked about a lot of things through the israel war and so many things. it is good to have you back. first of all, i want to go around and just find out what each of you thought of the debate. so let's do that. alexandria, i know you said at one point you needed a break like everybody else. what was your take on it? >> it was very long. i think while there was some

focus on policy there was so much criticism of each of the candidates. we didn't get to the meat of the issues. >> rueben, your thought. >> i feel the same way. the position, the way trump came out was pretty aggressive and talk he was talking to a rally and he sounded angry. i thought. when he referenced those people was not the best thing to say. >> harris: all right. and jeanine, i am curious maybe just to dig in a little deeper. did it move the needle for you at all? >> no, i 100% am a trump supporter and i believe he was able to articulate some of the messages that needed to be articulated. he was able to go to his track record and to talk about the shortcomings that existed with the current administration. i feel that kamala deflected the entire time. >> harris: before we go to the back row there, lee carter polling expert and president and

partner of a business is here. jay, i want to get your thoughts on last night. >> i thought it was a better debate between two presidential candidates. much the same for trump. i didn't feel like his entire performance was any different than any other. i was happy to see the vice president come out. i think she could have made a few more points but i think she did well overall. >> harris: amanda. >> i thought the vice president did an amazing job and had command of the stage and a clear winner in the debate. she riled up former president trump and had him talking about things that are insignificant like rally size and using fear mongering and divisive tactics that weren't helpful to him at all. >> stylistically kamala did a nice job. i would differ the style from the substance.

she trump didn't drill down. i think in certain instances where she evaded a question he had more meat on the bone that he didn't get to. >> harris: one was whether she had ever met putin. she dodged that ball like third grade. i hadn't seen anything like that and i think he was right about that. that she had. let's get right to it now. we are going to play clips from last night's debate. lee has showed them to a group of voters who responded in realtime using hand held dials. you can watch their feelings second by second and the red line represents republicans, blue democrats and yellow is independents. here is the economy. let's watch together. >> so donald trump has no plan for you and when you look at his economic plan it is all about tax breaks for the richest people. i am offering what i describe as

an opportunity economy and the best economists in our country, if not the world, have reviewed our relative plans for the future of america. what goldman sachs is said donald trump's plan would make the economy worse, mine would strengthen the economy. what the wharton school said is donald trump's plan would actually explode the deficit. 16 nobel laureates have described his economic plan as something that would increase inflation and by the middle of next year would invite a recession. >> that's a great plan. a plan that is going to bring up our worth, our value as a country. it will make people want to be able to go and work and create jobs and create a lot of good solid money for our country. just to finish off, she doesn't have a plan. she copied biden's plan and it is like four sentences.

run spot run. four sentences that are just oh, we'll try and lower taxes. she doesn't have a plan. they had the highest inflation perhaps in the history of our country because i have never seen a worse period of time. people can't go out and buy cereal, bacon, eggs, anything else. the people of our country are absolutely dying with what they've done. they have destroyed the economy. >> harris: one of the things i noticed right away there is the blue line started to flatten and not dip so low down on that last one. he gets where people are. >> he gets where people are in the economy. an interesting takeaway. i didn't expect to see independents tracking so much with republicans last night. they did. they wanted to hear the meat on the economy and hear the plan. while most of the voters we spoke with agreed stylistically saying she performed better than he did on substance on the issues of economy, immigration they resonated with him. that was what we were talking to a lot of the independent voters

and saw that with that line. >> harris: alexandria, you are now a republican. can you speak to the issue why those two would track in your mind? >> absolutely. i also just graduated college and looking into the job market and economy and housing prices, cost of food. for me at this point it is not about which candidate is the most poised or what i like the most, but what the next four years look like. i do think the economy under trump was a lot stronger. >> harris: rueben. >> i agree with that. the strong points for the economy he should have gotten and ran with it and he didn't run with it. it was more effective to do that. he should have done that. no issues came up other than what they talked about which is pretty overwhelmingly override. an override on everything. not even specific and i think they should have -- he should have gotten more specific. >> harris: the moderators could have gotten more specific and done some reasking.

>> it was three against one. >> harris: from a journalism perspective and having been on a stage with him and abcc nulls at the -- it wasn't dissimilar to that. the follow-up was not there last night. that could be a flavor thing, who knows. david, i want to get your take on just where you saw those lines tracking and i made the comment that when it got deeper into the economy, the democrats stopped pitching so far low and flattened out a little bit. does kamala harris to you reach people right where they are on that issue? >> well, i think the irony is both candidates were fighting over the mantel of change over the economy. kamala was presenting herself as the candidate of change. she is a reflection of the biden-harris administration, the majority of the country disapproves how they handled the economy and prefer the trump economy to this one.

so i think it was difficult given that. but with that being said trump's strongest answer was the last one. look. why haven't you done these economic plans since you've been in office for the 3 1/2 hours order. he should have come down on that earlier. she distanced herself at times. >> harris: vice president harris is facing criticism over not answering for changing many of her far-left policies. 40 minutes into the debate the moderators finally asked her about that and it has been headlines for weeks. >> my values have not changed and i'll discuss every one -- at least every point that you have made. in particular let's talk about fracking. we're here in pennsylvania. i made it clear in 2020 i will not ban fracking. i have not banned fracking as vice president of the united states. and in fact i was the tiebreaking vote on the inflation reduction act which opened new leases for fracking. my position is that we have got

to invest in diverse sources of energy so reduce our reliance on foreign oil. >> defund the police. she has been against that forever. she gave all that stuff up, very wrongly and horribly. everybody is laughing at it, okay? they're all laughing at it. she gave up at least 12 and probably 14 or 15 different policies. she was big on defund the police. in minnesota she went out -- i'm talking now. if you don't mind, please. does that sound familiar? she went out -- she went out in minnesota and wanted to let criminals that killed people, that burned down minneapolis, she went out and raised money to get them out of jail. she did things that nobody would ever think of. now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison. this is a radical left liberal that would do this. she wants to confiscate your

guns and she will never allow fracking in pennsylvania. if she wins fracking in pennsylvania will end day one. >> harris: republicans and independents are tracking together and obviously that is for party. independents supposedly don't have one that they designated yet. >> one of the things i heard from voters last night. curious what you guys think. they wanted to hear more in depth on her policies. what was she really going to do for the economy. what would be different about the economy under her than biden. they wanted her to explain why she has had so many changes. they wouldn't let her get away with it. they didn't want her to get away with this idea of values. she didn't give the why that allowed people to say you have a reason to change. i think that's why you saw the independents were really up there with republicans and democrats obviously were not. >> harris: jay, i want to ask

you something similar to what i asked alexandria about the economy, this is about public safety, police and military so to speak. the blue line there for democrats was going down and then it flattened out when he got to what life is like in urban areas. what are your thoughts on that? >> urban areas are complicated due to factors not present when we talk about rural areas. so i think it is easy to make inferences that don't really make the same -- that don't really have the same rationale when we talk about the differences between the two. with that said, i think it's really comparing apples to oranges. it is not the same. we have different needs and different -- >> harris: let me ask a different way. we've been seeing this among black and hispanic voters. what is the disconnect between kamala harris and some of the people in those areas who are minorities and struggling

economically? maybe that's a better way to say it. they're dealing with the bulk of violent crime. the rest of the nation has seen crime come down by violent crime in those areas is up. >> it can be traced to many different root causes whether it's economics, socio- economic struggles. >> harris: most often it's that. why doesn't she connect? >> that's an interesting question. i am not sure why she doesn't connect in those areas. i think she is connecting well in those areas. i think she is doing a fantastic job. i think she can do better. >> harris: is it name recognition? i don't know. maybe i'm having some sort of an epiphany about that. when i look at the dials and that reaction, some of it is around whether you like trump or not, you know what he stands for. with her you don't. and around the issue of crime, you know in those areas because

you've lived in them that if you can't really nail it, people's lives are at stake and they want to know where she stands. amanda, i'll come to you next on your thoughts. >> i think one of the most powerful things that vice president harris did last night was her ending statement where she said she will lead from a place of are you okay. that reminds me of civil rights icon who says where does it hurt? we can look at each other as human beings and as individuals and say are you okay? then we're going to be able to move collectively towards a country that works for all of us. there is no question in my mind that the harris-walz administration has the desire to build a country that works for all people. >> harris: anybody want to rebut that or say anything additionally? >> i think kamala had a very polished performance but spent so much time on prep. trump was learning about what we needed in this country. >> harris: interesting.

you guys are just wonderful. i'm so glad you are here. trump record illegal immigration under the biden-harris administration and the migrant crime also a big issue, which she brought up many times and a big issue for voters. the former president on that. >> criminals off the street and they've given them to her to put into our country. and this will be one of the greatest mistakes in history for them to allow -- i think they probably did it because they think they will get votes -- but it is not worth it because they are destroying the fabric of our country by what they've done. there has never been anything done like this at all. they've destroyed the fabric of our country. millions of people let in. all over the world crime is down all over the world except here. crime is up and through the roof despite their fraudulent statements they made. crime in this country is through the roof and we have a new form of crime called migrant crime

and happening at levels that nobody thought possible. >> harris: you can't miss it. at one point the lines stopped going together and independents started going up higher than republicans. they were right up. what is going on with independents? we better pay a lot of attention to them. >> we better. it is interesting. in 2020 we didn't see this. we saw a big split between all of them. it was like all different. spaghetti lines. what we're seeing a like we saw in 2016. independents are tracking very much with republicans looking for a couple of things. answers on immigration, looking for answers on the economy. they want to hear that things will get better for them and also want change from what is happening right now. one of the most important things they were looking for last night from kamala harris is how are you going to make it different? one of trump's most powerful statements that he said is when he said why haven't you done it for the last 3 1/2 years? you are biden. he was trying to say there will be no change with you. people are looking for that.

you can see in these clips. i was really surprised because the intensity of the independent support there for donald trump was very, very strong. i didn't expect it. >> harris: rueben, i saw you nodding, why. >> talking about immigration. that's a big issue in our community as latinos. we look at it very negative. he is talking about developing a new talking about the 50s and 60s, a new mentality of not independents but the depend see. medicaid and medicare goes up and they become -- i was talking to some people in our family recently and they aren't looking to get out of where they are. they are not looking to do anything. they get a check and do what they have to do and the government is supporting them. you are becoming victims. that's the way i look at it. they are becoming dependent victims of a society here. they don't understand the rules here. they don't understand anything. it is a learning curve for them when you talk about what laws

you have to abide by. you look at drivers in the city. think about it. nobody is really tuned into those things. those are simple. where are you getting insurance from if you get a license in new york and driving a wonderful car? where are you getting that insurance from? so god forbid i get into an accident and i don't know where i'm going to go. somebody hits my vehicle or hurts somebody in my car. >> harris: jeanine. >> i think the independents are tracking in a positive way with trump's responses because it is obvious what's happening across the country in these cities. every single day we're seeing destruction. every single day we see crime and every day our safety is being compromised. i think you can't hide from that. i think it's becoming more and more obvious and something needs to change and it needs to be done i believe trump's way. >> harris: you go to school in the city. >> i do. you don't have to look any further than the here to see the

migrant crisis. our mayor said last year that migrant crisis will destroy new york city and this is trump's hometown and it is costing us billions of dollars of taxpayer funds annually. i thought it was interesting when asked directly by the moderators kamala the vice president didn't even make an effort to defend the administration's immigration policies at all. she can't. she pivoted and deflected successfully but they totally rewrote all of trump's immigration policy year one. first 100 days. i would like to see an explanation to the country why they did that. >> harris: democrats are pushing abortion and here is the pretty fifthy exchange after kamala harris falsely suggested donald trump was opposed to ivf treatments. let's watch. >> i have been a leader on fertilization, ivf. the other thing, you should ask will she allow abortion in the

eighth month, ninth month, seventh month? would you do that? why don't you ask her that question? >> why don't you answer the question. >> under roe v. wade you could do abortions in the seventh month, the eighth month, in ninth month and probably after birth. >> harris: so i want to get your take on this. the ivf is so fact checkable and knowable. how did she not know? he talks about it a lot. >> he talks about it a lot and why that portion resonated. she has a much stronger story when it comes to abortion and reproductive rights. ahead 20 points in the polls. last night i expected to see a similar reaction. she did seem a little bit flat footed when he was talking about this and unprepared on the issue. he does have a track record. this wasn't the best moment that she had on reproductive rights but it was for him. she had moments later that were

better. >> harris: it's a place where republicans have been looking okay, that is a big point spread. how do we catch up? last night it would seem you can catch up on the facts pretty quickly apparently. we'll see how it shakes out. jay, your thoughts on that. >> i think if the repeal of roe v. wade had not happened, the situation that happened in alabama and their supreme court would never have happened. you have to take the good with the bad. him saying i wanted to push that back to the states. the new motto. at some point you can find him on air saying we want to get rid of abortion all together. so okay, you want it push it back to the states that's fine. you were able to do so. now you have to also take the bad with what happened in alabama as part of that, too. you don't get to differentiate the two. >> harris: that's interesting. i will move on to the next topic now. president trump called out v.p. kamala harris for being in the white house for 3 1/2 years and david you said he should have done it earlier and more often. he did in the close while making

campaign promises he says she could have already made happen. let's watch. >> so she just started by saying she will do this and that and all these wonderful things. why hasn't she done it? she has been there for 3 1/2 years. they've had 3 1/2 years to fix the border. they've had 3 1/2 years to create jobs. all the things we talked about. why hasn't she done it? she should leave right now, go down to that beautiful white house, go to the capitol, get everyone together and do the things you want to do. you haven't done it and you won't do it because you believe in things that the american people don't believe in. >> harris: you had a fairly large portion with hand dials. everybody is doing this realtime. you are getting it. what was going on there? >> so i think this was an exercise of framing. it was one of the best things that donald trump did last night. he framed something that people will remember, which is if she is saying she will do all these

things why hasn't she done it in the last 3 1/2 years? a question a lot of voters have and a lot of democrats have. you didn't see democrats go lower when he was talking about that. they want to know what will be different now and what will you do different? it was a very smart exercise? framing. he should have done it earlier. he could have done it throughout. it was one of the most powerful things he did. >> harris: two real quick. david and then amanda. >> i think both of them are fighting over that mantel of change. the country polls have shown majority of voters aren't happy with the direction of the country. harris is a representation of this administration, trump is saying look i'm the change candidate. harris is saying she is younger, a different generation of leaders, therefore trump is basically an incumbent and ultimately the voters will decide which version of that they agree with. >> harris: we only have one leadership in the white house at the time. he is not it and she is there. no daylight between them. she and biden. she tells us that all the time,

amanda. >> we also know that in a democracy the president is still has super powers, they can't do everything. there is a supreme court and congress. so some of the things that the things she hasn't do is just procedural. more importantly than that she actually has been highly successful as the vice president. i got checks in the mail for the child rescue act. i never got anything from the trump administration during covid when we were floundering. for the first time ever kamala harris put together a gun prevention and gun safety committee. my children are scared to death. three children in public school and scared to death to go to school because of the gun violence problem in the country. she put together a panel that said we'll do something about this. she actually has been highly successful. >> harris: i feel like we want to have a republican response. show a hands, anybody?

then we're done. >> i think that her first question are americans better off today than they were when you came into office 3 1/2 years ago? and she side stepped it. she walked around it. she has nothing to point to. nothing that has done anything but to make this country weaker, to look at our economy, look at immigration. she has not been able to point to one thing that she has done and it is a huge problem. it will continue forward. >> harris: it is fascinating to me how different your take was. you had specific examples. she has been vice president for 3 1/2 years and as david and jeanine were saying she couldn't do what you just did. that's a problem. >> i think she has and we'll see it on november 5th. >> harris: you guys have been great. i want to thank you, lee. always good to see you. the first and possibly only debate between kamala harris and donald trump is in the books.

we saw from the campaign advisor with me earlier this hour there is another scheduled in december with nbc and looking to see if they'll do another one in october. we're all over it. right now we have last night. the race is far from over. debate wins have not always translated to election wins. plus some republicans say the vice president seemed like she was just putting on a performance last night. >> she hasn't done any interviews since she was coronated as the queen here. she had 50 days to memorize lines. she went out and delivered the lines as if she was an actor in a play. >> harris: the liberal media are heaping on the praise for kamala harris despite the fact she has been avoiding them as well as everybody else for those news conferences. she has done one sit-down interview. steve hilton in "focus" next.

>> harris: president biden and vice president kamala harris arriving in johnstown, pennsylvania moments ago and they are making their way to join president biden in shanksville for a wreath laying ceremony to honor the heroes of united flight 93 on 9/11. memorial service will be held at the site of the crash to commemorate 23 years since the terror attacks.

we'll take you there live when it begins. no surprise, the liberal media are gushing over kamala harris's debate performance. >> vice president harris's supporters have got to be pleased with her performance this evening. >> she kept chumming the waters and trump kept taking the bait. >> this was a big night for kamala harris . >> it was by far the best debate performance against donald trump ever by anyone. >> it may be the best dell viesed debate performance ever. >> she got up there and put him in his place. baited him and spanked him. >> kamala harris was superb, elegant, classy, but she also was joyful and then she also went right in there and baited him and he fell for it. >> harris: critics say kamala harris has not answered for her many policy flip-flops. it was a light feather touch from the moderators last night. they are also pointing out it has been 52 days since the vice president launched her campaign.

no solo news conference. no solo sit-down. she took her running mate with her and out of the conversation he talked more than she did. harris selected minnesota governor tim walz to be her running mate on august 6th. since that time, the trump-vance ticket has done 44 interviews while the harris-walz ticket has only done a combined seven. one opinion piece with this headline. voters aren't seeing enough of harris after the debate she needs a media blitz. her campaign and supporters claim she is talking to voters every day. >> we have 50 something days here. our priority has to be the american voters. >> reality is that she and governor walz have been working and taking their message directly to the people. >> you guys are paying attention to her now that she is a presidential candidate but she has done 90 interviews this year as the vice president. >> harris: she wasn't running then and she did 90 interviews

and we still don't know much about her after 3 1/2 years. steve hilton, fox news contributor. 90 before. where is she now? >> it is ridiculous. gushing. i haven't seen some of those clips until now and embarrassing. they are so gullible. for goodness sake, we know because the campaign told us that kamala harris spent the last week non-stop learning her lines, rehearsing, literally practices her facial expressions and gestures. that's not what being president is about. let's go back to hillary clinton's famous ad, the 3:00 a.m. phone call. if kamala harris were president and got the 3:00 a.m. phone call she won't have a week to sit around practicing what her response is going to be. it is about your judgment. it is into what you believe. and what we saw last night was someone who clearly can't answer those questions and doesn't actually have any strong convictions or beliefs about

anything because she is totally fake, totally phony. she will say whatever is politically expedient. that's why we've seen these massive lurchs of policy without explanation. she will say whatever it takes. terrifying in a president. >> harris: we ought to send a fruit basket to senator bernie sanders. we need to believe him that she is flex being for the votes. doug schoen argues v.p. harris won last night's debate but the election is far from over. harris had better answers on abortion, healthcare, leadership for the future. that much is clear. what is also clear what trump said in miss closing statement remains the case. voters remain angry about the direction the country is headed in. about the performance of biden and harris as well as which candidate they trust more on the issues facing the country. fox news polls on the 32016

debate voters thought hillary clinton won each contest. election forecaster silver noted clinton got a polling boost after each debate. by the third debate she was up by more than seven points nationally. trump went on to win the election, steve. >> exactly. the fundamentals of the election haven't changed. people want change after the disaster of the biden-harris years. disaster on the economy, personal lives, country in terms of the international situation. they want change. they want what we had with donald trump. peace and prosperity. they want the good times back. donald trump represents that and she represents a continuation of the bad times. that hasn't changed. so as we go into the final stretch of the election, i think people will be looking seriously at the substance not if someone can learn her lines that

handlers have spent a week coaching her on. >> harris: i like en it to name recognition. policy recognition. they had it with him. they don't know what she stands for. >> exactly. they know the difference between what they saw with trump and what they've had with her agenda. by the way, one final point speaking to you from california. we see the kamala harris agenda implemented in california. the worst policy and inequality. disastrous crime and homelessness. everything going in the wrong direction. nobody wants to see that across the country. that's what you would get with kamala harris as president. >> harris: when she gave her resume last night and past it was all in california. a lot of it was dealing with crime that is as stubborn as ever, if not worse. steve hilton, thank you very much. thank you for watching "the faulkner focus." thanks to my voters' voices.
