veterans day event, harassed cassandra, ran off daniel, anybody, can i get some help? time for them to go. >> ainsley: what is happening there? >> cassandra had come to visit. having a rough time with chris. you will have to watch the show to see exactly what's happening there but they just come in like they own the place. they are loud, they are disgruntled, and it is always something. there is never positivity. they had to go. we did warn them. we tried to be fair. >> ainsley: what did they expect when they came in your business? >> we were having people there. we don't need them. >> ainsley: it is fun to watch. watch it on fox nation. have a good day. we'll see you tomorrow. >> bill: thanks, guys. here we go on a fox news alert. the rapper sean diddy combs will

be in court today arrested in the lobby of a new york hotel last night facing arraignment today on federal charges after a grand jury indictment that could be unsealed at any moment. attorneys for the music mogul believe he is charged with racketeering and sex trafficking. we'll give you the latest updates unfolding this morning when it comes to us here. any moment also the florida governor, ran desantis, gives an update on the state's investigation into the assassination attempt against former president donald trump. second one just over two months' time as we learn stunning new details about the suspect and what he told the judge yesterday. good morning. a big couple of hours coming up. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." we have election news to tell you about as well. a big day. the former president already back on the campaign trail following the foiled shooting at his golf club sunday afternoon. for his part, the former president remains undaunted as he describes the moment the

shots rang out. >> it was quite something but it worked out well. secret service did an excellent job. and they have the man behind bars and hopefully he will be there for a long time. a dangerous person, a very dangerous person. >> bill: we get new body cam video. have you seen this from martin county north of palm beach showing the arrest of the suspected would be assassin and startling new details emerging. one of the bigger headlines the feds revealing the gunman may have been lying in wait for 12 hours. >> dana: senator marco rubio is standing by. dana marie mcnicholl has more on the suspect and the investigation. good morning. >> good morning, dana. as you mentioned, governor ron desantis getting ready for a press conference. he said he doesn't think federal agencies trying to prosecute the former president here in south florida are the people to turn to to get answers about what

happened on sunday which get clarification about the state investigation coming up. let's get to the newly released body cam video showing, it shows the man moments after being arrested on the highway after he fled the golf course, when secret service spotted him. we also learned his cell phone records show routh was camped outside before the agents confronted him. f.b.i. did confirm yesterday he never had a line of sight to the former president. f.b.i. also said they are determined to provide answers. they have interviewed seven civilian witnesses as well as speaking with people close to routh to determine a possible motive. routh previously lived in north carolina moving moving to hawaii this year. police said they had over 100 interactions with routh who constantly broke the law. >> it was almost like blatantly

saying here i am and it doesn't matter. so he would be constantly pulled over. >> he barricaded himself inside his business with a fully automatic rifle after being pulled over in 2002 and charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction. social media presence called out politicians including trump. last year in a self-published book he called for iran to assassinate the former president. routh is facing two federal firearm charges, possession of a firearm by convicted felon and obliterated serial number. they are initial charge. more may be added later. the palm beach county sheriff said the security at mar-a-lago a 15 minute drive from where i'm standing here is at the highest level it possibly can be.

road closures, checkpoints. also waiting to hear from governor ron desantis on the state of florida investigation about what happened. we're standing by on that. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: the neighbors of routh are describing his past behavior saying the writing was on the wall for this kind of violent incident. here is some of that. >> a strange guy. behaviors were really strange. he would walk past quickly before, kept pace with me for no reason. jumpy, reserved. didn't speak out loud too much. didn't come off as a political person at all. seemed very like kind of dangerous. >> were you surprised? >> i really didn't -- no, i wasn't surprised. >> bill: the rap sheet is a mile long. his scrapes with the law go back for decades including dozens of run-ins with police throughout his time as an adult. >> dana: his life spiraled

downward . trump's golf partner speaking with sean hannity was only 15 feet away from the former president when shots rang out and describes what it was like being there. >> got to see a man who was stoic, courageous, cared about his friends' safety first before his own life. he was an inspiration to everybody who was around him. the secret service were exceptional. they were -- they had the president secured in my estimation, because i was five yards away from him, in my estimation, maybe after the first shot. certainly after the second shot. so by the time the fourth shot rang out the president was on his way with that detail. it was as if they had practiced it 500 times before. >> dana: as trump said, the golf carts are very fast and he was praising the secret service and kept that up yesterday. >> bill: yesterday fox digital had an interview with the former

president blaming the other side for the rhetoric going on. a sample of this going back to mid-july. >> donald trump is an extension all threat to our democracy. >> he is a genuine danger to american security. >> we're fighting for a democracy. >> we have to preserve our democracy. >> bill: just so you know, it has noted on social media this would be assassin had posted similar about a threat to democracy. want to bring the marco rubio with us now. good morning. we played that clip. that was going back to july 24th through saturday. here is hillary clinton yesterday and then last evening. >> if you were really a leader, he should be doing what he can to calm the waters, not try to just continue to throw, you know, red meat out there to get people riled up. we can't go back and give this

very dangerous man another chance to do harm to our country and the world. >> bill: there it is. it's right there on your screen for you to make a decision and judge it for yourself. how do you judge all that, senator? >> well, i think repeatedly saying something. going to be hitler, american dictator. publications that have put out front page stories that depict trump looking like hitler. you have to conclude the majority of people that see that we need to vote against this guy. enough nut jobs and take the next steps and say this guy a truly evil and dangerous. if our democracy is wiped out, i need to take this guy out. again, we need to learn more about this individual and how he got there, how that perimeter wasn't secured, who he was, what was behind it. i think we know about some of the things he posted that he clearly was influenced in some way by this rhetoric about trump being this dangerous dictator in

waiting. >> dana: senator, the "washington post" editorial board said that donald trump should be protected as if he were a sitting president. i bet you agree with that. how do we make that happen? >> i do. secret service decision. if they need more resources i bet they find support to do it. there is a reason why. he is not just a candidate, he is a candidate that has been a target of two, not threats, really a tempts on this guy. the second thing is we also know, this has been publicized now, we have a nation state in iran seeking the assassination of donald trump in retribution for the soleimani strike. those two things alone. two assassination attempts in the heat of the campaign combined with the known threat of foreign agents seeking his assassination and have said so publicly i think in and of itself raises the level of security he needs to be having

beyond just that of a candidate. >> bill: on this, you mentioned the threat from iran and we have covered that quite a bit. we'll see where that goes. with regard to this incident on sunday. he told a judge yesterday he has no money, he told the judge yesterday he owns two trucks and both in hawaii and both valued at $1 thousand each. so we just heard from some of the neighbors in north carolina, they are well familiar with him where he grew up. i think this picture is confounding is what i'm driving at here. he was either living on debt or a credit card or he was getting help. >> he had the money to buy the tiles that were there like a shield. he had the money to travel to florida and apparently sustain himself for some period of time. he had the money to find a car that right now we don't know whose car it is and we know it had stolen tags but how he got ahold of it and money to buy weapons. all of these things ask -- these are questions that need to be answered. i think it is good the state of florida will be involved.

the more eyes on this the better and we have a second set of investigators to look at the potentially same set of facts and maybe discover new facts. a lot of questions to answer relevant to two things. how did this happen? was he working with someone? we don't know but we need to learn that. the other is the copycat problem and that is as i speak to you now and i say this with no great joy, there are potentially dozens of people that given the opportunity may do the exact same thing and they watch this sort of coverage about this and try to replicate it somewhere down the line and so i think it's quite possible that even as i speak to you now there is someone plotting to do the exact same thing to donald trump or somebody else. we need to learn how these people work and need to understand the warning signs to get ahead of this. imagine if somebody would have noticed somebody hiding in the bushes eight hours before trump got there. he would have been apprehended a lot sooner. >> dana: can i ask you about tron tron. governor abbott talked about a crackdown yesterday.

listen to him here. >> history has shown they first flood the countries with military age venezuelan men. next they begin to establish a base of operations. finally, tda begins a spree of violent and bloody criminal activity. i am officially declaring tda a foreign terrorist organization. we will bring the full weight of the government against the tda. >> dana: i'm sure you track some of this closely. we'll show a map that shows the spread of tda across the person part of the states including to chicago and new york city. but there is some confusion as to who -- not who they are but what they are doing and how severe it is. we've been going back and forth with aurora, colorado. what should people understand? >> i'm the first person in washington or american politics

that warned about this gang in january and february of this year. the reason why is venezuelan migrants were telling me about it. a prison gang inside of venezuela, they spread to ecuador, chile, neighboring countries and joined up with other gangs targeting venezuelan migrant communities in those countries and inevitable. a matter of time before they joined the migrant flow and entered the united states. they are in communities in the united states murder for hire, extortion, human trafficking, drug running. they are a criminal -- organized criminal organization and a very violent one. now their members are coming into the united states. more money to steal here and more people to go after here. this has been a threat that's been building since february. and we know it. initially when we raised it we were told it wasn't true. we are seeing it play out in realtime in places you wouldn't expect. aurora, colorado. we saw this in new york and in

chicago as well. but i think it will continue to spread wherever there is targets of opportunity. they particularly like to target migrant communities with lots of migrants. that's where they first like to target. those crimes spread beyond that. the purse snatching and anything else they can make money off of. >> dana: thank you for being with us this morning. >> bill: thank you. >> dana: we'll have more on the texas crackdown on the violent venezuelan gang when governor greg abbott joins us later on "america's newsroom" today. >> bill: more breaking news now in new york city. sean diddy combs set to appear in court today after months of investigations and lawsuits accusing him of sex trafficking and abuse. moments ago his attorney spoke outside the courthouse here in new york. >> no, no, not planned certainly. not planned by us. he came here to surrender at a time agreeable to the u.s. attorney's office and then they arrested him last night.

i spent the evening with him. his spirits are good. he is confident. he is dealing with this head on the way he has dealt with every challenge in his life and he is not guilty. he is innocent of these charges. we know what the charges are going to be without seeing the indictment. it will be racketeering, sex trafficking, things along those lines. this is what we've been expecting since the searches in march. to his credit he voluntarily came to new york, not a lot of defendants do that. he came to new york to basically engage the court system and start the case and it will start today and he will plead not guilty obviously and fight this with all of his energy and all of his might and the full confidence of his lawyers and i expect a long battle with a good result for mr. combs. >> do you think he will be released? >> i will fight like hell to get him released and he should be released with all that he has done and coming here

voluntarily. thank you all very much. i'll keep you all posted. >> bill: that from a moment ago. alexis mcadams picks up the reporting live outside the federal courthouse. why now? what changed? >> he has been under investigation, sean diddy combs, for months and as his attorney said he came to new york city being prepared to taken into federal custody and it is what happened hours ago in the big apple. we can show you on the screen. video into our newsroom of diddy spotted in central park before he was busted in new york city at a hotel. the rapper came here in anticipation of this detainment and cooperating with the feds. this arrest comes as diddy has been at the center of a federal investigation for month. something we've been talking about here. back in march remember this federal agents raided his house in los angeles and in miami beach. they even stopped him at an airport and took all of his phones and electronics part of a

human trafficking case. the feds have been delivering subpoenas and interviewing witnesses trying to build up the case they're ready to unveil today. as the lawyers said, they expect racketeering charges and human trafficking charges. diddy's lawyer telling fox this. these are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide and he looks forward to clearing his name in court. we can tell you as well diddy's attorney said he is not perfect but not a criminal. we'll have to see if he shows up to court today. authorities here in new york city and the court saying they will unseal that indictment later this morning. we'll have to take a close look and keep you posted. >> bill: good to have you down there and get breaking news from you when it comes to us. thank you for that. dana. >> dana: a fox news alert here. waiting for governor ron desantis there in west palm beach, florida will do a press conference how the state of florida is going to do an investigation. as the governor said last night many federal laws -- florida

laws were broken when the attempted assassin, i guess we can call him that, the suspect, routh, in west palm beach. a lot of things the state wants to handle and maybe get you information how andy mccarthy thinks it is appropriate that the state even take the lead here. we have him walking out now. let's get ready for that. any thoughts before he starts? >> bill: one of the things he said to jesse last night. if you have the f.b.i. and d.o.j. investigating donald trump now on appeal now, trying to reinstate an indictment already dismissed, they are the best people to turn around. he was questioning that last night and see if he brings it up today. >> good to be back in palm beach county. i will assign the case involving the attempted assassination of former president donald trump to the office of statewide prosecutor under the supervision

of attorney general ashley moody. the suspect, ryan routh, is believed to have committed state law violations across multiple judicial circuits in this state. palm beach judicial circuit. judicial circuit in martin county and perhaps the judicial circuit represented by broward county. the state of florida has jurisdiction over the most serious straightforward offense, which is attempted murder. i've directed state agencies to move expeditiously and provide full transparency to the public. in my judgment, it's not in the best interest of our state or nation to have the same federal agencies seeking to prosecute donald trump leading this investigation, especially when the most serious straight forward offense constitutes a violation of state law, but not federal law. in addition to holding the suspect accountable, the public deserves to know the truth about

how this assassination came to be. i have directed allstate agencies to work expeditiously to be able to uncover the truth in addition to holding this suspect accountable. we are going to hear from some folks that will be involved in this starting with our attorney general, ashley moody. [applause] >> thank you, governor, thank you for all who are joining us today. i'm the attorney general of the great state of florida. really proud, as always, to stand with a leader like governor desantis who always appears to meet the moment, whatever that may be. whatever challenge may be upon us and he certainly not one to sit on his hands. today is another demonstration of that incredible leadership characteristic. i think america right now is, and florida citizens are very hungry for leadership.

this is unprecedented to have this much focus on a presidential nominee with the type of rhetoric and threats coming out of the mouths of so many people. i will just say it was really disappointing to hear the president say that president trump should be put in a bull's-eye just days before we saw the first assassination attempt. and then weeks later at the dnc say that that threat was still very much alive and now again in under 30 days another assassination attempt. so what i think people are hungry for is leadership. they don't want somebody to come out and say secret service needs to tell us what they need and congress should do something about it. it may very well be that resources need -- more resources need to be dedicated to secret service. but leadership is about strategy, about implementing a

plan, it's about determining where your gaps are, your deficiencies and filling those in. look no further than our governor when we were hit by a major catastrophe like ian, a hurricane. he didn't say somebody give them money and he didn't say you do this. he built a bridge in three days. he got it done. i told him that's what he should have ran on when he ran for re-election. that it was. a bridge in three days. what we need is the president to acknowledge. >> the governor stated his case. florida has jurisdiction over the most serious charge, attempted murder. as that press conference continue if he comes back and takes question we'll take our viewers back there. a former secret service agent with dana and me here in studio. good morning. a ton of theories. what is yours right now. >> right now looks like we have a lone gunman who took advantage of the fact that the secret service simply wasn't up to

doing the job at hand regardless whether or not the director refers to this as an off the record event site. he sat on the wood line for hours. as a secret service approached two or three holes ahead of the president this individual took that opportunity to produce that rifle, push it through the fence, hand was waiting for president trump, although he didn't realize the secret service agent was two or three holes ahead of him. had the president emerged at that point he would have fired the shot. >> dana: are you sure he is a lone gunman? >> we aren't sure. he traveled from hawaii, by all accounts. somebody must have paid for that trip. ends up with a vehicle. had to live somewhere, whether in the vehicle or somebody's house. he had enough opportunity to sit there for 12 hours. there is a good possibility somebody put him up to this. not to mention the fact he never got the shot off. sitting there for 12 hours,

produces that rifle so somebody could clearly see it. takes off running. when he is captured he shows no remorse, no despondency about being caught. no failure of his mission and says he was here to save democracy picking up on the words both president biden and kamala harris have used previously. in his arrest photo he shows no remorse or disdain for himself. maybe his mission was to test the resources of the secret service and some unknown group or person or individual put him up to doing that specifically. here is a rifle, go sit in the tree line for 12 hours or until the president shows up and see what the secret service response is going to be. if you get captured, so what? >> bill: that may be. appears the secret service guard was a hole ahead, which is policy any time you are giving protection to play it a hole ahead for the secret service and saw the guy's muzzle. >> he did see it.

the question as an investigator you can't discount the possibility was it produced getting ready to take the shot or did he produce that muzzle in an attempt to bring the secret service agent? >> bill: he had the ceramic tiles to give him defense and on and on. this is a picture from the paparazzi's vantage point. call for number four. you can see the former president in the background and what we're told is that when the photographers show up at this site, they alert the local police that they are hanging out there. that did not happen in this case. there is the shot. >> i've been to the golf course many times and played it before. any event site the president goes to with regularity the secret service at the most basic level is supposed to assign a site agent to the site. we've done it in waco with president bush and the united

nations. it is incumbent upon that nation, designated as the site agent to learn everything about the site and where are the points of vulnerability. where does the press and citizens like to hang out to be afforded the best view? you have to deal with that. this hasn't been done by the secret service. the most basic things the secret service is supposed to do haven't been done. no one mentioned the site agent at mar-a-lago or at the golf course in bedminster. i know there isn't one there. there is no one up there. where is the site agent that should have been at this site? the secret service is not affording president trump the level of security that the president should be afforded. it simply is falling through the cracks. the secret service is broken. >> dana: would you agree or let me phrase this however you want that is the secret service that needs to change its behavior and not president trump that needs to re-evaluate his movements? >> that's absolutely right.

it is not the job of the secret service with a 0 fail mission. by statute is there to provide protection to the president of the united states. we do not tell the president of the united states you can't do something. in fact, it is just the opposite. we will do and utilize every resource, every manpower, every asset, every resource that the federal government has and state and local municipalities to make sure we can provide the most secure environment for the president of the united states and potentially the thousands of american citizens that show up to these events. it is just not getting done. i believe it's not getting done because the political feelings of the senior most leadership of the secret service has permeated the secret service and impeded field agents from doing their job. >> bill: strong words. >> dana: thank you, rich. >> bill: thanks for coming on. so the battle for the white house continues while all this happens now in the background reaching its final stretch now. 49 days, folks.

only so many swing states left in play. harris is back in philly. the keystone state is razor tight. we'll show it to you on the board when we continue next. because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100 percent of your home■s value. if you need cash for your family call newdayusa. with automatic authority from the va we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call.

it is hope this event will help provide realtime training for emerging storytellers. former president trump met with the same group back in the summer. generated plenty of headlines talking about harris's race but claimed he was facing nasty questions. >> look, if i came onto a stage like this and i got treated so rudely as this woman treated me, and i'm fine with it because she was very rude, sir. very rude. that was a nasty -- it wasn't a question. she didn't ask me the question. she gave the statement. it wasn't a question. >> the vice president will likely be asked about the latest assassination attempt against trump. trump is claiming it's harris's rhetoric causing the violence against him and she says she stands against political violence. >> in america we resolve our difference peacefully at the ballot box, not the end of the gun.

america suffered too many times the tragedy of an assassin's bullet. it solves nothing and just tears the country apart. >> we also appear only hours away from another major development in the race. the teamsters union with 1.3 million members is announcing it endorsement. it met with harris on monday. trump met with the group in february. this teasing about an announcement coming as soon as tomorrow. dana. >> dana: mark meredith, thank you. bill, show me something i don't know. >> bill: you probably know it, dana. i want to show you three things quick. overnight usa today poll in pennsylvania. harris 49, trump 46. i would take note of this right here. margin of error 4.4%. that means this race in pennsylvania according to this polling is still a flat out tie. here are the battleground states that we see. carolina, pennsylvania, georgia, wisconsin, nevada, arizona. we changed it last week. it hasn't changed as of this

week. pop here and show you where pennsylvania is so important. 270 map to find out how each campaign most easily succeeds. trump in north carolina wins it by 1.4%. 74,000, 481 wins north carolina. 2016 against hillary clinton. margin was 177,529, 3.8% acknowledge points. biden did better in 2020 than hillary clinton did in 2016. he drove up his numbers in the urban areas and reduced the margin in rural areas, not good enough for joe biden four years ago. now here we go in the path to 270. going to set up your panel coming up here in a moment. as it stands today donald trump's easiest path to victory to go back to the white house is simple. if you are at 219 here, you win

north carolina and hold that state. flip georgia and pennsylvania and you are at 270. let's go to kamala harris and her campaign. her easiest path as of now at 225 is to win wisconsin, win michigan, hold pennsylvania, and then take nebraska two out there and she is at 270. that's as simple as we can do it. who knows what happens on the 5th of november? back to you. >> dana: i love all those maps. tom bev-in and carley cooperman join me now. i want to play for you something from one of the pollsters at cnn. he says harris is in the danger zone. watch here. >> right now harris is right now in the danger zone where basically half the time given that popular vote margin nationally she would be win. we could head to a split in 2016 and 2000. one candidate wins in the popular foot but loses in the

electoral college. at this hour we're in the weird middle zone where we don't know what will happen. >> dana: tom, do you know what's going to happen? i'm kidding. tell me where you think things are right now. >> this race looks a lot like 2016 to me. nationally kamala harris is up 1.7% in the real clear politics average. she won that race by 2.1% but lost in the electoral college. the seven battle ground state, michigan is the one we include in that group the biggest lead anybody has there is less than a point and a half. if you take an average of the leads of those seven states, kamala harris leads by 1/ten of 1%. it is that close across the board. four or five of these states the margin is less than half a percentage point. it is close in the battle ground states. >> dana: carley, watching some of the round table that mark halperin did talking to undecided voters.

it seems that the debate did not scratch their itch. they are not exactly sure. here is an interview she did at a local station in philly last friday night. watch here. >> i grew up a middle class kid and raised as a middle class kid. focusing on again the aspirations and dreams. i believe in the ambitions, the aspirations, the dreams of the american people. creating an opportunity economy where it's about investing in areas that really need a lot of work. i intend to create an opportunity economy. >> dana: that was from the debate and the interview. the question -- whatever the question was, she seemed to have that answer down from her debate prep but what the undecided voters are saying they can't get a feel for what her authentic policy would be. does she have a problem there? >> i think a lot of what we're seeing is in terms of post debate bumps, one of the reasons

we're seeing one to two points across a lot of the polls is harris strengthed her support among her base. more favorable to her than less. not the same for trump coming out of the debate. it was largely with democrats. it helps in terms of turnout. needs her base to show up. it could make a difference in spring states. reaching undecided voters is harder. we know 28% want to know more about harris. it helped to some extent. she didn't necessarily go into detail defining specific policies and something that undecideds wanted the hear. >> dana: wisconsin is going to be the latest state to deny rfk juniors request to come off the ballot. in north carolina he will be removed from the ballot. those ballots will be reprinted. in michigan and response it will remain. quick answer from both of you. does it matter in those states of michigan, wisconsin, and north carolina, tom? >> absolutely could. wisconsin could be decided by

>> bill: here is the updept from lower manhattan. sean diddy combs indicted oh charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. we'll probably get a statement from his attorney. he talked on the way in. we expect to hear something on the way out. stand by on that. the border, this continues.

new data revealing more than 1.3 million migrants have been allowed into the u.s. through two controversial biden-harris administration programs. bill melugin joins us on that now from midwest bureau. what do you have? good morning. >> good morning to you. record high illegal crossings down at the southern border have obviously been a huge political headache for the biden administration. at the start of 2023 they created two new programs to allow migrants to come into the u.s. really by passing border patrol entirely. according to new cbp data those biden programs have allowed more than 1.3 million migrants to come into the u.s. look at this. according to the cbp data 530,000 migrants have now flown into the u.s. as part of the biden administration's mass parole program for cubans, haitians, nicaraguans and venezuelans.

more than 200,000 of them have been haitians coming in. two were arrested for sexually assaulted children this year. earlier this month a haitian national was arrested for allegedly molesting a 10-year-old boy in massachusetts. he flew into the u.s. as part of the parole program in june of 2023. then back in march another haitian national was arrested for aggravated child rape after prosecutors say he raped a girl in a migrant hotel outside of boston. he also flew into the u.s. as part of the parole program in june of 2023. there is a second program, according to cbp data, since january 2023 more than 800,000 migrants have now been allowed into the u.s. via the biden administration's use of the cbp1 cell phone app allowing migrants to book appointments at ports of entry to be released into the u.s. including nearly 45 thousand migrants last month alone. an average of nearly 15 hundred

migrants coming in every single day. this year a haitian national who came into the u.s. in july of 2023 via the cell phone app was arrested in new york and charged with a double murder after he allegedly stabbed two men to death. back here live these two programs combined together have brought in roughly 70 to 80 thousand migrants every single month. those migrants aren't counted in border patrol data. they are not illegal crossings. yes, border patrol numbers have been down significantly this year. those numbers are not a true reflection of the amount of people who are being allowed into the country. we'll send it back to you. >> bill: stay on it. i know you will. bill melugin in chicago today. thank you. >> dana: u.s. national debt continuing to skyrocket. many americans are looking to congress to clean up excessive government spending. vice president harris and former president trump are touting their solutions on the campaign trail. forbes media chairman steve

forbes joins us now. right now call for number one, cost of debt interest payments is topping $1 trillion. as i understand it, that's a tipping point and this "wall street journal" headline. federal debt is soaring and why trump and harris aren't talking about it saying both candidates produced growing deficits. neither is likely to reverse that trend if elected. is that a problem for america? >> a big one. a big one for the world. the u.s. is sucking capital not only out of the markets here bust around the world. that means less money for a productive investment. resources don't come from heaven, they come from you and me. resources are inefficiently used. who would you have somebody investing money, warren buffett or elizabeth warren? the question answers itself. the harris tax program even though she has a lot of cotton candy when she is on the campaign trail is one of the

worst packages in american history. what she is doing, she would make the corporate tax rate the highest in the developed world. capital gains tax the highest in the developed world. personal income rate could go near 50% and the wealth tax on the rich won't hit the rich. each year if they put that in they have to sell hundreds of billions of dollars of stocks to raise the cash to pay the tax. what is that going to do to equity prices? if you have a pension plan, ira, 401k you will pay that tax as well in a crash of equity values if that tax goes through. >> bill: 49 days. i get the sense we're starting to focus on policies like these that you just detailed in kamala harris. what about donald trump? is his plan better? >> his plan is better in the sense he has some tax cuts put aside the tips and social security. but reducing tax rates as he said he wants to do.

not to mention extending the tax cuts of 2017, which worked very well. revenues went up, not down, contrary to some of the rhetoric out there. so he has a positive plan to grow the economy. i think you learned from the first term you will have to do spending restraints. with all the so-called green stuff in there, which is just crony spending, wasteful and why germany has three times the electricity rates that we do. that stuff can be cut and would have huge savings. so if you want some little bit of sanity, you go to him, not her. >> bill: you bring down energy prices. cut gas prices in half. 3.50 a gallon, trump at 1.80 toward the end of the term. it would help us out across the board. >> transportation is the cost of doing business no matter what business you're in. what they administration has done, for example. liquefied natural gas, barring new facilities to export. china is the biggest importer of energy in the world.

whether it's directly or indirectly they would be dependent on our lng for their economy. that's the kind of position we want to be in going forward. >> dana: that's a strategic thinking economically that helps get you into a better geopolitical position and keeps us the leader of the free world. >> absolutely. you can connect the dots. >> bill: thanks for coming on. one-hand soldier fighting a battle continuously. we mentioned this a moment ago. new details coming out of court. federal charges against sean diddy combs. we believe he is still inside before that judge. we expect his attorney to talk. the federal indictment exposing shocking allegations against him yet again. we will update you on that as our coverage continues. in a moment right after that. yo? the news? sports? a little family gossip maybe? nah, you don't do that. right? here's another topic for you: as they get older their risk of getting really sick from a
