♪ ♪ >> john: live look at the federal reserve where a decision on the future of interest rates is imminent. we should get it any second now. this announcement should have major implications for americans feeling the pinch of inflation. we do expect federal reserve chairman jay powell toehold a news conference later this hour as is traditional. with that, john roberts and washington. >> sandra: sandra smith in new york. might as well sell myself because right now you are looking at a bit of a turnaround. what are we looking at with the dow? but the tick marks not indicating that peer do you see that? the tick mark is read. we are going to look at that because i don't know what that is. a minute ago it was flat now it is up -- okay, the decision is now, okay, 50 basis points. the tick mark is not on the screen but that is accurate. the dow is now up 323 points,

john. that tick mark -- there it is! there it is. all right, so this was highly anticipated. kelly o'grady from fox business ran onset with us to cover this breaking news. the fed has decided, this is what market started predicting, the fed fund futures throughout the day and the afternoon, they started the price at probability 61% chance of a 50 basis point cut, i just told john i was going to tell our viewers why this is so important. we have seen interest rates at a 23 year high. why? the federal reserve has had to try to tame sky high inflation that has happened over the past 3.5 years. this is the biggest move we have seen from the fed, the biggest cut we have seen from the fed in 16 years. in fact we haven't seen interest rates lowered since 2020 at all. but 50 basis points, you would have to go back 16 years to see it move like this. your thoughts on what this means for the average american at home? >> i think what this means is powell says okay, we are

comfortable we are going to get to that sustainable 2% inflation cart target. also, look, i don't want the labor market to get worse comes of the 50 basis point cut you are seeing is an indication that is what they are worried about. remember the fed has two mandates p or for the average american at home, you are going to see the couple of things, credit card interest rates coming over half a basis point, that is not a time when average rates are at 24.92% right now. mortgage rates, though, that is where this is really interesting because i think the mortgage rates, the 30-year fixed stands at 6.2% right now. it was pricing in at the half a basis point already. you could actually start to see over the next month at takedown the work, so first-time home buyers like myself, we love that. really, though, sandra, this was priced in with the market. certainly what investors want to see. you are going to see the stock market -- >> sandra: they are pricing

in, it's up 300 points. >> the market was predicting it come investors were thinking okay, this is what we want. where i think you need to look in the next hour is the oppressor. because everyone is going to be looking at the language that fed chair powell uses, what does it look like when the fed meets in november, what kind of cut are we going to get? what does it look like when the fed needs in september? is it going to be 50 basis points? that is going to drive mortgage rates, back to your question come average americans at home -- >> sandra: that could take some time and on the bigger question when you look at the political landscape and one of the candidates promising handouts to first-time home buyers, that could have a big influence on the housing market. it will take some time for interest rate cuts to work their way through the system, for sure, but nonetheless this is obviously some news that the market is trying to digest right now, john, and it has pretty big implications all around. this has been an economic environment that has been hungry for some interest rate cuts and it looks like maybe this is the

beginning, took kelly's point. we will see what the federal reserve has to stay in that presser a short time from now. >> john: biased toward the future but the market doesn't seem particularly enthusiastic about this. it's up just slightly less than 200, see where it goes through the rest of the afternoon. now bring an anchor and executive editor of special report chief political editor bret baier. the politics around us, there are many republicans who say wait a second, 48 days to go until the election, you are cutting rates now, why didn't you do it a couple months ago? listen to what steve forbes said. >> if they're going to do something they could have done it this summer or even the spring or wait until after the election. they have a meeting in november just days after the election. they could have done a big one then and no one could have accused them of playing politics. >> john: so could they have done it weeks and not months ago, and is doing it now look like powell is putting his thumb on the political -- >> former president trump said he should wait into after the election although some democrata

75 basis point cut. instead of 50. listen, it does affect the economy. it does affect things in the lead up to 48 days from now the election day. so of course politics is going to factor in. i think the fed was looking at the situation with inflation cooling and balancing that jobs inflation situation that they have to do every time. but when it happened, definitely will factor into politics. >> john: let's look back to 1992 to figure out what kind of an effect it is going to have because the economy was tanking. george h.w. bush had 91% approval rating, than the economy tanked. bill clinton and james carville came out and said it is the economy, stupid. bush's fortune started failing but in late 1992 the economy started coming back what people had already made up their minds. when you take a look at what the polls show, trump has a 13-point lead on kamala harris when it comes to voters preference for

who could best handle the economy. we've got those numbers if we can put them up. so is it too late for harris? have people already made up their minds? >> it may not be too late but a lot of it is baked in the cake. how you feel at this point, 49 days away from the election, is not going to change that much in the next seven weeks. however if the economy takes an uptick and you start to feel something different, it could affect around the edges. this is a race that is around the edges. you look at those swing states, summer down to .4, .5, that is 10,000 votes either way on election day. >> john: other big news, standby for a second. the latest on the assassination attempt of the former president, fox news alert. secret service officials are so deeply immersed in the florida incident that it is causing delays in the release of the pennsylvania shooting report, which was supposed to be out this week. david spunt is live at the justice department with more. when can we expect this report to come out, david? >> john, we are told at some

point over the next few days we may hear about a summary of kind of the mechanisms that the secret service as an agency will use to make changes. ron rowe, the acting director, said changes clearly need to be made but a lot of the focus no question on what happened in west palm beach p or just this morning fbi director christopher wray made his first public comments about the incident over the weekend in florida. watch. >> for the second time in just over two months we witnessed what appears to be an attempt to attack our democracy and our democratic process. and i'm relieved that former president trump is safe, and i want the american people to know that the men and women of the fbi are working tirelessly to get to the bottom of what happened. >> john, back to july 13th, a secret service report will be a self-reflection report coming from within the agency looking at what went wrong and what can be done better appeared five people were placed on administrative desk duty,

working remotely. as for the motive of the shooter, 20-year-old thomas crooks, the fbi still doesn't have one. fox news is told it is possible there may not be a motive. crooks was killed by secret service agent moments after he took multiple shots at the former president p or by husband and father lost his lif. it's unusual but not unprecedented to have no definitive motive. seven years later they still don't know the motive of the las vegas hotel shooter. congress conducting oversight and investigation into july 13th and will have a report out soon. also looking at what happened in florida. i am told members in the senate expect to have some sort of interim report out by the end of this month. multiple different investigations going on here and the fbi leading that criminal investigation. john? >> john: david spunt with that update. let's bring back bret baier. the lack of information from the secret service and to some degree the fbi, we heard from christopher wray, is really

taking off members of bipartisan task forces including senator richard blumenthal. listen to what he said. >> i am reaching the point of total outrage because the response from homeland security has been totally lacking. it is tantamount to stonewalling in many respects. >> john: that from a democrat appeared remarkable p or its. >> he went on to say dhs -- understand he is the senator in charge of the subcommittee overseeing the dhs, he says dhs is derelict in its duty. that is stunning from a democratic senator. now the bipartisan task force has come out and said this is full on stonewalling. we don't have information. some of them said americans are going to be shocked when they see and hear what they have heard already, but it is not complete. this is agree just. that it's been this long and we

don't have information. we don't have it. and even the bipartisan lawmakers don't. >> john: blumenthal said last week we will be shocked and appalled what we find out in the secret service report so eventually it is going to come out, may be a little bit of a respite now we have to have this other investigation to it. the other thing i want to ask about was rhetoric appeared we saw hillary clinton the day after a second assassination attempt come out and say trump is a danger to america, he can't become president again. karine jean-pierre yesterday said the following, and let me attach some other ones, listen to this. >> president biden has been clear-eyed about the threat that the former president represents to our democracy. >> donald trump is an existential threat to our democracy and our most fundamental freedoms. >> look, are they affected democracy? yes. are they going to take away our rights? yes beards. >> donald trump and maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our rep republic. >> john: i mean they just

don't stop. >> and j.d. vance said yesterday, if they don't knock it off, somebody is going to get killed. wonder who that somebody is. >> well, it is two assassination attempts of the former president has dealt with. obviously he believes and says that rhetoric he thinks is leading to these actions. democrats say it goes both ways. but you can't have it on both sides of the coin. you can't say i called to check in that he's doing okay. i want to make sure he doesn't get harmed. and then in the next sentence -- >> john: call him an existential threat. >> that can't be behind the presidential seal p or i had tim shriver on the show last night o take it down a notch but especially after active assassination attempts on a former president. >> john: we will see were all of this goes but it doesn't sound like anyone is planning to tone down their rhetoric anytime soon. bret, thank you. it continues, sandra. >> sandra: further proof with

hillary vaughn on capitol hill with a microphone in the hallways of congress. she caught up with a few house democrats to get their thoughts on the rhetoric following the second assassination attempt on here is what she heard, john. >> for years americans have heard democrats call trump a threat to democracy. are you surprised now that two people i tried to kill him? >> trump has called us communists. he said we are a threat to the united states of america. >> are you surprised that after americans have heard democrats say trump is a threat to democracy for years that two people have now tried to kill him? >> i think it's unfortunate. that is the environment we live in. >> do you have anything to say about the second assassination attempt on former president trump's life? >> i will just say that any assassination attempt on anyone is terrible. >> sandra: so we will see. these continued calls to tone down the rhetoric or at a minimum condemn it, where it goes, but considering all of that the white house has doubled down on it, john. >> john: something we are going to checking later this

hour with the panel and joe concha is what karine jean-pierre said yesterday in response to a question from peter doocy. ducey asked is it time to really tone down the rhetoric? you will remember in the wake of the july 13 shooting and butler, pennsylvania, everybody from the president on down was saying we got to tone down the rhetoric. it lasted about 72 hours. and karine jean-pierre responded to doocy by saying it's your question that's dangerous. >> sandra: a remarkable exchange, for sure. >> john: i got a bunch of words rolling around in my head i can't stand television in response to that but good lord. we will put it to concha and the panel paid. >> sandra: coming up appeared meanwhile we are watching the dow come as you mentioned, john, the markets reacted severely, take up, 400 points out of the gate come after the decision was made and now up only 41 points because guess what? we are waiting on the federal reserve chair to speak at half past the hour and what he says will be critical for

these markets because now that we have cut rates, will that incur more spending and therefore more inflation? this is what the market is strong to figure out. we will talk to brian brenberg and taylor riggs, cohost of the big money show, on what it means for you and your money. plus this. >> so i was raised as a middle-class kid pure i grew up a middle-class kid beard i grew up a middle-class kid. i started my career as a prosecutor. i was a career prosecutor for most of my career. having a background as a prosecutor. >> john: vice president kamala harris sticking faithfully to her talking points. but why not venture out? reaction from joe concha just ahead.

>> sandra: on the right we are 19 minutes past the hour and here is a live look at the dow's reaction to the federal reserve cutting interest rates by a half

a point, the biggest cut in 16 years and the first cut since 2020. so what does all of it mean for everyday americans and all of us? what's bringing brian brenberg and taylor riggs, cohost of the big money show on fox business p had my mind goes to the massive credit card balances that americans have racked up in recent years amid sky-high inflation. you can put the numbers up, americans have been drowning in credit card debt, all-time high topping a trillion dollars and the average on that credit card debt interest rate 21%. how does this change that? if at all, brian? >> taylor had some great data on our show earlier. >> sandra: should i ask taylor? >> because credit card rates don't correlate quite as well to the interest rate -- >> sandra: take some time. >> you might not get a ton of relief and that is a problem because delinquency rates have been rising quickly. >> some of the other data we were looking at, mortgages are

obviously very much more correlated, so when the fed raises and lowers interest rates, mortgages generally track that a little more. >> sandra: depends how responsive the banks are, right? >> you have s no mike banks respond. the mortgage rate this morning was 6.1. a little bit of a correlation but your auto rate a little less. credit cards, i was a little surprised by this, a little bit less correlated. doesn't track the federal funds rate as much. you rarely see credit card on averages rates dipped below 15%. always about 15% to 20%. could see a little relief but may not on the credit card site -- >> the translation is don't expect a big help right away from this rate cut for credit cards, et cetera. >> sandra: interesting watching these markets navigate this decision. 10 minutes away from the federal reserve chair speaking. potentially move markets, as well. the fed fund futures, we are

anticipating this cut, while it is bigger than many possibly wanted to see come i guess the fear is, is this such a big cut, that people go out and spend more and therefore inflation doesn't come down any further? >> i think the fear here, the thing to watch is these guys made a pretty big cut for a first-round cut and the question is are there problems in the economy that they are more worried about then they -- >> what are they seeing? >> what are they seeing on jobs. i think they have a political incentive to go bigger first because they were so slow raising rates -- >> sandra: they would say we are independent. >> they don't want to be the guys who see a recession happen and say you cut rates to slow on the back end. to me they have a political incentive to cut rates here but i think the question is we want to hear from jay powell, how worried are you about this economy that you are moving 50 basis points? >> sandra: voters should think

about why we're here to begin with. we were at sky-high interest rates, the highest we have been at in years, to tame unprecedented inflation. how did we get there? massive government spending. guess what is happening in the political environment? there are promises for new government spending. this was interesting -- >> johnson was speaking on a stage recently, and he compared some of vice president harris economic pages to the american voters on the debate stage to oprah winfrey giveaways. listen. >> comrade kamala harris as president trump is known to call her now wants to take it to a whole different level. if you followed her around on her little campaign speeches, all she is talking about is a more centralized price controls and new government spending programs, everybody gets a car, it's like oprah is running for president. >> sandra: everybody gets a car, it is like oprah is running for president because these are some of the messages she is putting out there if she becomes president, this is what she says

she will do. >> we fight for a future where we can build what i call an opportunity economy. let's just do the work of giving first-time home buyers a $25,000 down payment assistance. we will also cut taxes from working families, including restoring and expanding the child tax credit. it has been about spending health care for more americans including dreamers. it has been about forgiving billions of dollars in student loan debt to. >> sandra: i just heard you, brian, y you here spend, spend. that is how we got here. >> the most fundamental economic choice i have ever seen in an election year between a candidate who just wants you to keep more of your money at a candidate who wants to take your money to give it to someone else. trump, harris. if you care about growth, prosperity, that's the comparison you make, and it's as stark as it could be. >> news flash come if i give you $25,000 to buy a home, guess what just happened to the price

of the home you want to buy? i just jacked it up by $25,000 because i know you just got more money and are willing to pay more. that further creates this housing on affordability crisis that we have. >> sandra: you guys are so good, great to have young breaking news, so we will see what powell has to say about 5 minutes from now. we will be monitoring. john? >> john: sandra come a live look at the white house briefing room where we are waiting to hear from karine jean-pierre on the pager attack targeting hezbollah in lebanon. plus this. >> a lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today. you have pushed false claims about some of your rivals. >> why is joy important to you to insert into this election? >> sandra: vice president harris' interview with the national association of black journalists striking a much different tone than former president donald trump's p or go over that in a moment. joe concha will join us with his comparisons next. kidney failure with farxiga.

>> john: vice president harris is planning to, quote, earn the black vote, that's according to her interview with the national association of black journalists yesterday where she dodged the question what and whether she supports reparations. critics say the group went much easier on harris then on former president trump during his july sit down with them. joining us now is fox news contributor joe concha. joe, before i get your reaction to that we have cleverly put together sound bites from then and from yesterday. to compare exactly how donald trump and kamala harris were treated by the nab jay. let's listen in. >> a lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today p or you have used words like animal and rabid to describe black district attorney speared why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that? >> well, first of all, i don't think i've ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner, first question. >> why is joy important to you

to insert into this election? what do you make of republicans using that as a way to suggest that you are not a serious candidate? >> sometimes when your adversaries will try to turn your strength into a weakness, don't you let them. don't you let them. >> john: all right, joe, break it all down for us. >> all right, that moderator we saw with trump, you will never guess who she works for, oh, right, abc news, who did that disaster disgraceful debate last week, accuses him of being unmitigated racist right out of the gate. the kamala harris interview, you heard those questions, why is joy important to you? what other control measures do you want to see when it comes to guns? so the entire conversation yesterday john can only be described as the rhetorical version of the hot stone massage. but despite the hospitality kamala harris did not do well by answering questions with specificity and she sounded so scripted again. when she is asked a specific question a policy like how are you going to bring down the cost-of-living she is the

seinfeld of candidates, her answers are a show about nothing and she reverts to how she grew up in a build middle-class family and wants a quote opportunity economy for whatever that is and we don't hear why she has not implement in these policies already as the sitting vice president. i just think all foam and no beer ain't going to cut it 48 days until the election. she has to be more specific. >> john: it's amazing how much you and i are on the same wavelength. here are those sound bites from kamala harris talking about her policies be let's listen. >> so i was raised as a middle-class kid. >> i grew up a middle-class kid. >> i grew up a middle-class kid. >> i believe in the ambitions, aspirations, dreams of the american people. >> we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams. >> the ambition, the aspiration, the dream. >> i started my career as a prosecutor. >> i was a career prosecutor for most of my career. >> having a background as a

prosecutor. >> i intend to create an opportunity economy. >> developing and creating an opportunity economy. >> what i imagine and believe and call an opportunity economy. >> john: now i covered the al gore campaign back into into thousand year and his stubborn insistence on sticking to talking point was infuriating but at least we tried to get some thing else out of him, it seems the folks interviewing kamala harris don't care about getting something else out of her. >> we all remember, he liked that mine. those interview questions yesterday and putting the head of the white house correspondents association, from "politico," yeah, i mean, you talk about they weren't even softball, they were t-ball if you put a beach ball up on the tee and no service to the american voters because we still don't know where she stands on the most important issues when it comes to the economy, crime, obviously immigration, and foreign policy.

yeah, you are trying to make her look good but she is not winning any votes when you ask questions like that and she gives answers like she is trying to fill the time on a verbal book report until she can get on the minimum time limit. it does nobody any good. she has to sit down and do some actual decent questions. i would love to see her do a town hall on fox since i think audience members asking questions and folks like bret and martha would be a service to our campaign if she is looking to get her policies out there. >> john: another big issue is the rhetoric surrounding donald trump and whether that is somehow feeding into the assassination attempt against him. peter doocy attempted to get an answer out of the press secretary on that front yesterday. watch how it went down. >> how many more assassination attempts on donald trump until the president and vice president and you take a different word tn threat? >> i disagree with the question you are asking. it is also incredibly dangerous in the way you are asking it.

>> john: a question that is incredibly dangerous? i have heard a lot of things. that amount to spin. but oh, my gosh, i am still reeling from that. >> yeah, i'm not going out on a limb john to say this is the worst press secretary we have seen in our lifetimes and peter doocy civilly asking a question about rhetoric as it pertains to the president or the former president of the united states, when you keep calling him a threat to democracy who must be stopped, there are enough crazy people out there that will literally take that as we've got to do it with a bullet insert about the ballot box. doocy simply asked a very fair question and karine jean-pierre's answer was -- i don't even have a word to describe it, quite frankly, like gaslighting. >> john: the opposite of a hot stone massage, maybe put it that way. that was a great line, joe, good to see you. >> i got one yesterday, really nice, got to try it sometime. >> john: when i get a chance. >> sandra: love you, joe. john, this just in. the teamsters releasing the

results of their member polling on which presidential candidate tobacco. here it is. 31% say they support harris compared to 58% who say they support trump. the union typically backs democratic candidates but has delayed its endorsement in this contest. the union's general executive board expects to announce a decision at some point today. my take from that what you will. >> john: put that back up on the screen. holy moly. >> sandra: yep. >> john: trump they prefer 58% to 31%, the teamsters? if that is the actual numbers and the teamsters doesn't come out and endorsed trump, something is wrong. i remember if trump was here with the teamsters and the head of the teamsters union addressed the republican convention. i mean, it was a screen of complaints. about how republicans have treated union members in some places. he still had a chance to air his views. people listened to them. now you get results like that.

that is a huge, huge turnaround for the former president. that is one that is going to make a lot of political noise. >> sandra: that's making a wad of waves right now and we will see where the official endorsement goes. shouldn't be any surprised, but then again -- >> john: that's politics. wow, that is stunning pure put it up on the screen one more time because i've never seen anything like that before. >> sandra: that is incredible. that is just in. we will get brand-new reaction to that coming up. >> john: trump likes to say he is a good friend of the teamsters, hired plenty of teamsters members on his projects. texas lawmakers taking on the fentanyl crisis killing tens of thousands of americans each year appeared what they are doing to stop cartels from using a vital tool to make millions of the pills look legitimate. plus this. >> we have to have a buyback program at i supporting mandatory buyback program. it's got to be smart. we got to do it the right way. spew to vp harris may have her own firearm but calling for a c

buyback.asa ho jason chaffetz and jessica tarlov just ahead. of yo? here's great news. at newday we've been granted automatic authority by the va to make our own loan approval decisions. in fact, if you've had credit challenges and missed a payment along the way, you're more than five times more likely to get approved for the newday 100 va cash out loan. no one knows veterans like newday usa.

where ya headed? susan: where am i headed? am i just gonna take what the markets gives me? no. i can do some research. ya know, that's backed by j.p. morgan's leading strategists like us. when you want to invest with more confidence...

the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management >> john: just reiterating the news coming from next-door whers headquarters is, their phone poll on who the rank and file prefer in the presidential election. trump 58%. harris 31%. that is a huge turnaround from just a couple months ago when before biden dropped out of the race he was leading trump 44.3% to 46.3%. sean o'brien the teamsters president making an announcement later on today as to who they union is going to endorse. i don't know how they could do anything but endorsed trump p or he will be with neil cavuto on "your world" 4:00 today.

in the meantime vice president harris may own a firearm but she is still doubling down on gun control. universal background checks and assault weapons ban just a few of the restrictions she backed during her first solo interview as the democratic nominee. fox team coverage with jessica tarlov and jason chaffetz just ahead peered but first alexandria hoff is live in washington. what is harris' record? >> during her last go at the nomination harris consistently pledged support for programs where citizens would be required to sell firearms of their own, mandatory buyback, harris talking 2019. >> we have to have a buyback program and i support a mandatory buyback program. it's got to be smart. we've got to do it the right way. >> harris campaign "the new york times" this summer, she no longer supports a mandatory buyback. the vice president position, priority has shifted to this. >> i feel very strongly that it

is consistent with the second amendment and your right to own a gun to also say we need an assault weapons ban. >> second amendment advocates often say a candidate can't really promise not to take away guns while pushing for an assault weapons ban because there is really not a set definition on what an assault weapon is. what about illegal handguns? the ones most often being used for homicides and other crimes. harris was asked about that in philadelphia yesterday. >> you were asking specifically about handguns -- >> universal background checks apply to handguns. they do. >> those handguns aren't even bought lawfully. >> yes. which is why i also have been very adamant for years, in fact i myself protested at a gun show, probably 10-15 years ago, about the gun show loophole, and why we need to close that. >> she kind of goes into this gun show loophole sidebar when the question was still about illegal handguns that are being

used in cities, so no specifics they are. according to reuters, i thought this was interesting, harris' handgun, she mentioned it in 2019, is the same one that she mentioned now, secured at her home in california, john. >> john: alexandria hoff with the latest on that. thank you. sandra? >> sandra: jessica tarlov, cohost of "the five," and jason chaffetz, fox news contributor appeared a logic at two including the teamsters latest poll, get to that in jus. vance on harris pertaining to be a moderate, jessica, how do you respond to that? >> i don't think she is pertaining to be anything. she has been clear she has personally a gun owner but where the american people are with gun reform, she knows that background checks, universal background checks, over 90% of the american public is for that, for increased red flag laws, talk about the assault weapons ban, people like to pooh-pooh the effect of it but i have it right here, 37% while the band was in effect and skyrocketed

183% when the ban was lifted. ten years later. these are all common sense solutions to it and donald trump and his record on gun reform is quite checkered p or he rolled back actually an obama-era rulee prevented the maniac who was waiting for him on that golf course from being able to get that gun. >> sandra: let me get jason to respond to that. >> look, the second amendment, it's a right of americans, and i don't believe kamala harris. she is on video not very long ago saying she wants to participate and encourage and implement a mandatory -- which is confiscation -- mandatory buyback program. and as a prosecutor she was not very successful. she is out there trying to bail people out of riots and do that kind of thing. her record on prosecuting actual gun crimes is abysmal, and it certainly was during the obama administration. how many gun crimes did they actually prosecute in this country? you just can't find them. >> sandra: okay, i want to

move onto the breaking news on the teamsters because this is obviously really something, and jason, i will get you to set this up for us, if we could put it up on the screen, pretty remarkable, the teamsters just-released the research from their phone poll and 58% support for trump, 31% support harris. right now we are looking at where this poll was in the last presidential election in 2020. that could obviously be telling but what we do you have is looking at when biden was still in the race. the straw poll for the teamsters between april and july revealed 44% support, jason, for biden, 36% for trump, so it would appear that trump is now surpassing kamala harris and far beyond where he was when biden was in the race. your reaction? >> 27%, that's not very close. these are working men and women

who want a job. they want america to grow. i think they recognize strength of donald trump and the weakness in kamala harris. if you look at the date range, the polling is actually going on at the date of the debate and then beyond the debate, so i don't think she gave the kind of ground democrats are trying to spin that she did. americans want to work, teamsters want to work and they know donald trump in those four years was a lot better than the last 3.5 years. >> sandra: jessica, your response question work. >> well, she's got some work to do if she is going to windows votes backman. president biden. could make the case she is going to be as good, she has been endorsed by the culinary union even though donald trump is out there with those no tax on tips policies which has a massive loophole in it. work to do but very winnable, can get the percentage closer, end.

>> sandra: it is fascinating peered we are reacting to it because it is just outnd am looking at the last time we heard from the teamsters general president sean o'brien come as we just told our audience will be appearing with neil cavuto in the 4:00 hour on the fox news channel peered we e following this and whether or not the endorsement will follow this poll. he did say that we are going to look at any and all options and that he cannot commit to what we are going to do. this was monday. meeting with kamala harris in a roundtable discussion, just spoke with her peer jessica, it was great to have you here pure. >> great to be here. >> sandra: jason, thank you, as well. >> thank you. >> sandra: john? >> john: the last republican teamsters endorsed was george h.w. bush in 1988. texas lawmakers targeted a tool used by cartels to make millions of fentanyl pills coming across the border look legitimate. what that tool isn't how they plangonn to crack down on it cog up next.

>> john: tens of thousands of americans are dying from fentanyl poisoning each year. now texas lawmakers are targeting a key tool used by cartels to make millions of fentanyl pills look like legitimate drugs. brooke taylor is live in dallas, texas, p or how are they going to crack down on this?

>> john, so what they are doing is targeting pill pressers because cartels, criminals, drug traffickers, they basically use this equipment to crank out hundreds if not thousands of fentanyl pills at the same time. take a look at these pictures of what the pill pressers look like. they are the same machine as pharmaceutical companies. it basically turns the fentanyl powder into looking like real prescription pills like xanax, even adderall. authorities say it is tough to track down where this equipment is coming from, so u.s. senator john cornyn has been pushing for a bill that would put serial numbers on pill pressers to help track down the criminals. >> the cartels, they continue to get richer and richer and richer while more and more of our children are dying. >> in 2023, 16-year-old from texas died from fentanyl after her mom says she took just one pill. her mom, stephanie, says her

daughter's dealer never gave up his supplier, leaving her in the dark about where the deadly pill came from. since her daughter's death, she has been working to raise awareness about the risks of fentanyl-laced pills. >> targeting our children. i mean, how evil is it to know that our kids are dealing with anxiety, adhd, and they are going to put -- they are going to -- they are going to make it look like xanax. they are going to make it look like percocet. >> and something that stood out to me while i was talking to her is she says she was a stay-at-home mom. she was on top of her daughter and says this still happened. her daughter just had a friend over. again it just took one pill for her to die. that is the message she wants people to take from this, just how deadly this could be, and to make sure you know what you are taking and you never know what could be in it because again all it takes is that one pill to cause a death. john? >> john: just about a grain of sand, that will kill you. brooke, thank you so much.

>> sandra: some good contacts on the teamsters polled adults showed trump leading 58% compared to harris 31 presented, it is out of 2020 with the union endorsing biden-harris. we are a month passed that considering the change in the race. when we looked at it when biden was in the race, he was leading trump so this is significant. >> john: this is a huge turnaround since then. 1988 was the last time that teamsters endorsed a republican candidate, that was george w. bush. very incredible. i do not know how the harris campaign will spend this. >> sandra: good question, we will see! lots of time. >> john: thank you for joining as i john roberts. >> sandra: and i'm sandra smith, 'the story' with martha maccallum starts right now
