e interest rate on a newday 100 va home loan. pay off high rate credit cards and other debt with a lower rate newday home loan. save hundreds a month, thousands a year. >> john: law enforcement has arrested an alaska man for threatening six supreme court justices and their families. the doj said he sent hundreds of threatening messages that escalated to death threats. this begins a new hour. i am john roberts in washington. sandra, it just doesn't stop. >> sandra: i am sandra smith in new york.
11:01 am
this is america reports. those arrests made public days after another assassination attempt on former president trump. it is putting extreme rhetoric and political violence in the spotlight, weeks before election day. let's get straight to david at the justice department with what we are learning. david? >> sandra, more than 450 messages allegedly sent via an online portal to 6 unnamed supreme court justices using homophobic language, and racist language and other threatening language. this is something that the justice department revealed in an indictment today, and it comes as public officials are seeing their safety at an all time threat. this is allegedly coming from a 76-year-old man in alaska. his name is ponos anastasio. he threatened justices and their family members. this was picked up after july 1st of this year when the supreme court majority ruled in
11:02 am
favour of president trump in the federal immunity case. there are 22 counts in this indictment. according to the indictment there was a threat to murder sprout justices one and two and family members one and two by threatening to send fellow veterans to spray their homes with bullets, hopefully killing them. and providing a rope to hang from an oak tree. the attorney general that was nominated to be a supreme court justice, himself in 2016 said in part in a statement, our justice system depends on the ability of judges to make their decisions based on the law not on fear. our democracy depends on the ability of public officials to do their jobs without fear for their lives or the safety of their families. this man could face up to 90 years behind bars and those are just for the nine counts of threatening federal judges. and you have to remember two years ago, a man named nicolas roski was arrested outside the home of brett cavanagh.
11:03 am
he has yet to go to trial. he is set to go to trial potentially as early as next year. but certainly there is a heightened level of security and fear, i should say for these public officials, whether it is supreme court or former president. >> sandra: wow. live at the justice department. thank you, john. >> john: our own hilary vaughn catching up with law makers, asking them if they need to tone down the political rhetoric regarding president trump. >> reporter: i wanted to know if you think it is time for democrats to stop calling trump a threat to democracy? >> no. the fact of the matter is that, he is a threat to democracy. >> reporter: i wanted to know if you think it is time for democrats to tone down the rhetoric? yao well, it is important for all of us to tone down the rhetoric. let's make this an election about policy. >> reporter: do you think it is time for democrats to stop calling trump a threat to
11:04 am
democracy? >> no. i think we should be clear that he is a threat to democracy. >> reporter: do you think that the rhetoric needs to be toned down? >> i think the rhetoric should be toned down, absolutely. >> reporter: do you think it is time for democrats to stop calling trump a threat to democracy? >> he is a threat, point blank. >> sandra: not backing off of using that word, and that idea after two assassination attempts against the former president. >> john: i thought what was striking is hilary clinton, literally saying that trump is dangerous, that there is no way we can let him become president here again. this is the same rhetoric that the united states is using towards iran. we can't allow iran to get a nuclear bomb. well what are you going to do to stop it, and does it encourage the crazies out there, to take matters into their own hands. that happened in butler and palm beach near the golf course. >> you have these threats
11:05 am
against the supreme court justices, six of them. and our fox news legal editor is joining us on that. >> john: always looking forward to seeing kerry. she will be with us in a few minutes. >> sandra: 47 days out of the election, the teamsters are not endorsing the democratic presidential candidate. but the union is also not endorsing the other candidate, former president trump, even though an internal poll shows members support him over harris nearly 2-1. the former president sees this as a win. >> teamsters carry a lot of weight. the democrats cannot believe that -- you know, it was always automatic that the democrats get the teamsters and they said we won't endorse the democrats this year. that was an honour for me. >> sandra: brand new polling showing that harris has a 2% national edge. let's get live to mike meridith.
11:06 am
>> sandra, good afternoon to you. we have heard republicans say that they believe that vice president harris is shifting positions on a number of issues. and new new fox polling shows that the majority of americans feel the same way. 55% of people think that harris will say what gets her elected. compared to 48% for president trump. since becoming the democratic nominee, she has passed positions on standing against fracking and calling the border wall medevil. they may not like it, though. the latest fox survey shows former president trump ahead on the topic of immigration. but harris says voters will be outraged by a second trump term. >> donald trump and his extremest allies will try to pull us backwards.
11:07 am
now they have pledged to carry out the largest deportation -- a mass deportation in american history. imagine what that would look like, and what that would be? >> john: trump continues to bring immigration front and centre. he accused democrats of ignoring the crisis for years. >> they are doing things in politics that have never been done before in the history of our country. and worst of all with the open borders and bad elections, they have made us into a third world nation. something that nobody thought was even possible. >> john: we will see if the vice president response to his latest attack. she will do a livestream event with oprah this evening, and battle ground stops on friday. >> sandra: very interesting. we will be watching for that. john. >> john: vice president harris becoming the first democratic candidate to not win the
11:08 am
endorsement of the teamsters union. the group's president explaining the decision yesterday on fox. >> we didn't get solid commitment from either candidate which was a major factor in our decision, as a general executive board not to endorse any candidate. however, we did a lot of polling, as you know, and the polling leaned heavily towards former president trump. >> john: let's bring in a political reporter and columnist that joins us in summerset county pennsylvania. celina, it is great to see you. we should point out -- go ahead. >> always great to be with you. >> john: oh, yeah. we should point out that you are the daughter and granddaughter of teamsters, so you know about this. here is what the board said about no endorsement for the election cycle. after reviewing nation wide member polling and rapping up ramping and file interviews with major candidates for the
11:09 am
presidency, there were little commitments from president trump or vice president harris, and found no definitive support among members for either party's nominee. here are the findings of the poll. trump had 59.6% to kamala harris's 34%. a 27% margin. if that is not definitive, i don't know what is? >> right. we have seen since between 1996 and 2000, if you look at election exit polling, that labour -- labour rank and file have been very disconnected from their union leadership. now, they used to be in lock step. democrats -- rank and file used to vote democrat and do it proudly, but however, both parties have changed and their coalitions have changed. and the rank and file are much more aligned both culturally and a lot of the issues more with
11:10 am
republicans, they -- you know believe that they are more the party of the working class as opposed to the democratic party. as both parties have sort of traded places with the republicans used to be sort of the country club, and you know, elites. it is now that the democrats are the academics and the elites and the republicans are more rank and file. >> john: so back in 1980, 84, and 88, the teamsters union supported the republican candidate for president, george bush, and ronald reagan. they have supported democrats. they skipped 1996 because they were angry with bill clinton about nafta. but there was an overwhelming majority, nearly two-thirds of teamsters members that wanted trump and they said, we are not going to endorse. is that a suggestion that they are hedging their bets? are they just down right afraid of the left?
11:11 am
>> i think it is a little bit of both. i have seen this in western pennsylvania, with the labour unions. they have come out in the last county-wide election. an area that has always been with the democrats and went with the republican instead. and they took a lot of heat for it. and there has not been a lot of business coming their way since then. so i do understand that fear. and also, you know, corporations, unions, they always hedge their bets, right? because they don't want to anger the person that possibly wins, if they didn't support -- too much. but they also want to send them a message, and i thought this was a very clear message. and anyone in the democratic side that doesn't think that this was not a forceful message that they sent to them doesn't
11:12 am
understand how much the voters have changed. >> yeah, well, the harris campaign is trying to spin why they didn't get the national vote saying we will take it from the locals. because you are out there in the country, in pennsylvania, which is a place i spent a lot of time, around fracturing locations, our laurence jones spent time out on the fracking rigs and asked people in pennsylvania what they thought about harris flip flopping on her idea of banning fracking and where she stands now. listen to this. >> kamala harris is the vice president. she was once against fracking. >> there is no question i am against fracking. >> she says she is now for fracking. do you believe her? >> she is saying whatever she can to make people try to swing her way. if she can get the presidency. >> the sentiment around this whole region is nobody believes that. >> i won't be anybody in that administration. >> what do you believe happens if she becomes the president? >> you are going to have more
11:13 am
regulation, you are going to have people -- banks are not going to want to invest. you are going to see people move out of the areas where gas is. >> john: a fox news poll found that 55% of respondents think that harris is saying what it takes to get elected not what she believes. but if people in pennsylvania thinks she is hostile to the industry, how does that play out in the election? >> they do believe she is hostile, because -- if she is so supportive of the industry, why didn't she call either during the debate or -- all the time she has spent in pennsylvania, that she will lift the ban that the biden harris administration has placed on lng, liquid natural gas exports. if you are supportive of it, you lift that ban. because that ban not only impacts people in the industry, and i am not talking about just working class, i am talking
11:14 am
about geologists, engineers, computer technologies, but also farmers. they get royalties from the extractions done on their -- just like right behind me, on their properties. that money is cut off -- they do not believe she supports fracking because she should have said that immediately and she did not. the ban is in existence. >> john: really find out november 5th what folks in pennsylvania think. salena, love to have you on. love the back drop. >> thank you, have you for having me. >> john: okay. thank you. now this. >> this is dangerous for our democracy. to have an outside country interfering and a government that is competing in the campaign in terms of vice president harris who has done nothing to tell the iranians stop this, and give them reason to do so. >> sandra: that was mike pompeo reacting last hour here, after tehran is interfering in the presidential election.

11:19 am
>> sandra: as we know chicago that's not been making the grade when it comes to education. failing children in that city. students struggling last school year in reading and math. but instead of focussing on how to improve results and students proficiency, the chicago school board is voting to pass a five year plan to create more equity driven schools.
11:20 am
let's bring in brian. thank you for being here. this issue is near and dear to my heart. i have studied the report cards in the state of illinois. chicago is failing those kids so badly. and they know it. they don't fail the kids any more. they pass them right on through the system. they graduate kids, seniors in high school, that aren't even reading at third grade level. it is sad. and somebody has to put an end to this. but this certainly won. this move by the school board. >> very similar to what happened in new york, he wanted to get rid of the successful schools. so if you were a kid that is aspiring and making success -- having success you wouldn't be able to apply to better schools. you have 20,000 kids applying to the top schools, when they don't get in, there is a lot of competition there. they said, why don't we make the schools better. why don't we wipe out school choice for the kids that are a cut above.
11:21 am
so i find that is hard to believe, they use the term, ambitious, equity driven vision. we are back to equity instead of excellence. to control the outcome is wrong. >> sandra: they keep lowering the bar. people are saying, you don't want to fail the kid either because they will go back on the streets. if that is not the solution, you have to improve the school system. you have to improve the teaching. you have to bring in better people. that's not what they are doing, though. we know alderman lopez, he is a democrat. often sounds like a republican. but he said this about the situation. >> 2 plus 2 will always equal 4. but we are saying it could equal something else depend on your lived experience, your trauma and your zip code. that will not serve the students of chicago well, when they go out in the real world and meet
11:22 am
other individuals who have been taught 2 plus 2 equals 4. >> sandra: i looked at this a long time, i don't know what they do there. the problem is so massive. >> they have money. so it is not like they are out of money. they say they are out of money, but i don't know if it is going to salaries, they take whatever the union wants and put it into the school system. what i think is note worthy is these kids from other countries, illegal immigrant get placed in the cities that don't speak a world of english, and the teachers don't speak a word of spanish and they are told, give the kids a 70 grade. and just pass them along. >> sandra: let's not even mention the schools that had been shut because they could no longer -- could no longer operate. they are now occupied in many cases. especially in the south side. >> they are homes to some of these kids. >> sandra: they are homes to some of these kids. this is paster corey brooks. and he says, what i don't see
11:23 am
here is families taking responsibility for their kids. there are parents that are outraged and challenging the system, but it is not enough. where are the boy cots and the marches around the schools. i don't care if you are working two or three jobs, take care of your kids. but some of the parents are working two jobs to put food on the table but parents need to own this as well. it is a great point. put the score card up on the screen here. this is a report card for chicago public schools proficiency for third to eighth grade students. 31% for reading, 19% for math. it makes you want to cry. the kids are not choosing this, right? and they don't see a path forward. and there is not an adult standing up for them. >> you have to offer school choice, but it will never happen with this mayor. he will never do it. if you offer school scmois give the kids an opportunity to get into a charter school or something else, that will force the schools to get better -- but
11:24 am
if they get better, and these schools start competing with each other, that is proven in the past it will help. and these people of chicago, you can't say they are not taxed enough. >> the people who would be standing up would be taxed out. they have left. i want to ask you about the big interview with gutfield. you had a chance to talk to the former president as well. he sat down, and challenged kamala harris, saying she would never do this. >> never do it. >> sandra: here is some of last night's interview. >> doesn't do interviews. you would not see her come on this show. >> no. we ask her now, come on this show, kamala, we will have a box of wine! >> she doesn't like doing interviews. >> yeah. >> she is not knowledgeable about the economy and various things. and it would be a problem. >> sandra: it was interesting. there was a challenge there. they talked about the economy and the border, they talked about the second assassination
11:25 am
attempt. the former president said he would have taken him out with his three wood. your thoughts. >> not only did he take it from tyrese and cat, and emily, but opened up to the audience. he has no idea what was going to happen. you are in and out in 45 minutes. but he sat there, and i don't know that the audience thought they were going to see trump. they thought they were going to g gutfeld. he makes the first ever presidential crypto purchase downtown. he sits down with gregg for 45 minutes, and then he goes and he does an event last night that lasted 2 hours. he took 200 pictures with donors, did my interview for 10 minutes and then came out. >> sandra: most of us are tired thinking about it. >> he is 78 years old and got shot two days prior. they took aim and tried to shoot him two days prior. you couldn't have more of a contrast between these two people. and kamala has done the most
11:26 am
impossible thing that i didn't think was possible. she has taken the speech and put it into every interview and you have another guy that no two interviews are the same. let alone remarks are the same. >> sandra: but some are saying this is working for her. one nation, brian coming up on saturday. >> one on one for the president for the first 10 minutes. and talking about the dangers and the opportunities with ai. and we also have some great robert dobby is joining us, and pete. we will see if we can jam it into an hour. >> sandra: we love it. we will be watching. john. >> john: one nation, one vision. looking forward to that, brian. the stunning arrest tied towards threats to six supreme court justices. kerri is joining us on that, coming up next.

he has two big gigs tonight. first a anti-semitism in america event and then addressing members of the israeli council at the national summit. we have the latest on that. hello, aysha, what is going to be his message? >> hi, sandra. good to see you. if it is anything like the rally last night, the message is what do you have to lose. he is trying to target the disenfranchised voters. and many jews feel overlooked due to the rise of anti-semitism in the last year, and a conflicted democratic party in the israel hamas war. the president is going to be speaking to thousands of people tonight. harris was invited but will not attend. i think she is in michigan. the round table is hosted by a
11:32 am
huge gop donor that has pledged a hundred million dollars to help re-elect trump. trump is up 7 points when it comes to the israel hamas war. who would handle it better, but not everyone out there is supportive in that community. he drew criticism last month for calling pennsylvania governor a highly overrated jewish governor. now the gop nominee was in long island last night with this message for that blue state. >> so i say to the people of new york, with crime at record levels, and terrorists and criminals pouring in, and inflation eating your hearts out, vote for donald trump! what the hell do you have to lose? what do you have to lose? >> here in washington, security is extremely tight around the hilton, washington. where the former president is expected to make the remarks tonight. i have already noticed that the
11:33 am
mags are out for hotel guests trying to get in. so security is high. >> sandra: as one would expect at this point. all right, john. >> john: for more on this, let's bring in kerri, the fox news legal editor. it seems to be that the doj is in a mode when it comes to anti-semitism of saying one thing. the doj and the biden administration are condemning anti-semitism. but they are slow to prosecute. >> they charged a an agitator that was defacing the union train station. >> john: so they are defacing federal property, or city property, but what about the threats against all of -- >> there has been nothing. we have heard crickets from the department of justice and out in los angeles with respect to the attack on the synagog. and yet nothing, no one has been charged. no hate crime investigations
11:34 am
have been opened. it is disappointing. >> john: another looming victim, i guess in the university's inabilities to deal with anti-semitism. this time it is president jonathan holloway that is expected to step down soon. he said that this decision is my own, and reflects my ruminations about how best to be of service. i am proud of what the university community has achieved. and for society, more broadly. it is expected because of the way he handled anti-semitism on his campus, as well as other things. and he is going to leave the job. so we have another victim of failure to leave. what is -- that is the president of harvard. do you pen this -- there is probably other ones as well. why is it difficult for the university professors to get it? >> it is not that difficult and it shows their hand. >> john: sure looks difficult. >> it is not. there are so many things you could do. for starters, you could enforce
11:35 am
trespassing rules. >> john: you could enforce hate crimes. >> you could enforce codes of conduct where you can't harass other students. and making sure that anyone who has damaged property, who is where where they shouldn't be is made to pay for that. there should be consequences but we have seen so little of that. but john, the question that i have and i have been thinking a lot about this in the last couple of weeks, why is there no curiosity about iran funding some of the anti-semetic protests that are happening on campuses. that is crazy. you have iran, we know for a fact from intelligence reports and the news that they were hacking into the trump campaign, and then getting that information, and giving it to the harris campaign. that they do not want donald trump to win. they have been trying to disrupt our election in favour of kamala harris. we also know that they have been funding some of the anti-semetic
11:36 am
protests across the country. so you have to wonder, why do they want kamala so bad. obviously it shows where she stands on i think, jewish american rights, and the whole conflict in general. >> john: the press has been relatively incurious about iran hacking the trump campaign and giving the information to kamala harris. if the shoe was on the other foot, if this was russia hacking the harris campaign and giving the information to trump, it would be blared over the headlines of every newspaper publication across the country. >> don't i know it. when i was at the department of justice. russia, russia, russia. that's all i heard. and that was a hoax. and we have hard facts about the things that iran wants to do. including want to go kill donald trump but there is no curiosity, and we will pretend it is not happening. it is mind-boggling. >> john: an alaska man is under arrest after making threats against six supreme court
11:37 am
justices. this is what merit garland said, the defendant threatened to murder and torch supreme court justices and their families. to retaliate against them for decisions he disagreed with. they have to make their decisions based on the law and not fear. at least the doj is taking action this time. >> i was happy to see the statement and happy to see them coming out swinging on this front. but look, they didn't enforce the law on the books against those protesters who showed up at the conservative justice's homes a couple of years ago. they could have done that. those protesters were intimidating those justices and bullying them and harassing them. >> john: one man wanted to kill brett cavanagh. >> that doesn't go to trial until next june. there were two attempts on donald trump's life. who appointed six of the conservative justices and you have to ask yourself, why is this happening. when you have the new york times pushing out hit pieces against the conservative justices and
11:38 am
you have those on the hill constantly calling for recusals and slandering these justices and mischaracterizing their actions, it is no wonder we are here. >> john: let's hope nothing happens. because it is only a matter of time, sometimes. kerri, thank you so much. >> sandra: israel and hezbollah trading fire over the lebanese border after a blast killed dozens and injured thousands in lebanon. where the rising conflict goes from clear >> and tehran tampering with our nation's presidential election. we have rob and morgan on that just ahead. stay with us.
11:39 am
11:40 am
11:41 am
11:42 am
>> in terms of the attacks that we are seeing in lebanon, we
11:43 am
were not aware of either incident of what happened on tuesday or on wednesday. we are continuing to monitor what is happening in the region on the larger point on -- you know, regional escalation, that's something that of course we are worried about, we are concerned about. >> john: the pentagon stating it did not have prior knowledge of the attacks in lebanon over the last couple of days. hezbollah vowing revenge on ilya solovyov over exploding radios that killed dozens of people and injured thousands. we have more on this. nate, the leader of hezbollah spoke earlier today. what was the message? >> reporter: he admitted it was a serious blow to hezbollah as the group now scrambles to find a safe way to communicate with one another. the two sides exchanging fire now throughout the day. and he said that the explosions could constitute a declaration of war. and he talked about red lines being crossed. take a listen. >> the israeli enemy targeted
11:44 am
thousands of pagers and they were detonated at the same time. the enemy crossed in this operation all the rules, laws and red lines. so hezbollah fired on northern israel this morning, john. killing two idf soldiers, and 8 israelis were injured. meanwhile, israel continues to strike hezbollah sites in lebanon. they hit a weapons storage facility and several other sites today. this as the defence minister talked about what he calls, the next phase of the war. today he said that the new phase brings significant opportunities but also significant risk. israel brought a top italian to the northern border in anticipation of what comes next. meanwhile, the death toll from both rounds of explosions in lebanon is at 37. over 3400 others are injured, and today, there are several funerals for hezbollah
11:45 am
terrorists killed in the pager and walkie talkie explosions. a man appeared in court accused of colluding with iran to assassinate benjamin netanyahu. >> john: nate, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: iranian hackers trying to meddle in our election. stolen nonpublic material was sent from the trump campaign to those associated with the biden campaign. let's bring in rob, and morgan, the former states department spokesperson. we spoke with your former boss, mike pompeo joined us. why are we not doing more about this? >> this administration doesn't know what to do. the problem is that the chickens are coming home to roost in their own administration. from the four years of failed iran policy.
11:46 am
to reverse course and deal with the islamic republic of iran, they are going to have to admit that everything they did since the beginning of biden harris administration has been a catastrophic failure. and what i mean by that, in the trump administration, under secretary pompeo, iran lost $200 billion. this is just a rough estimate because of our maximum economic pressure campaign. in the biden harris campaign, the estimates are that iran is a hundred billion dollars richer. so trump took $200 billion away from iran. and biden and harris gave them $200 billion back to them. now, you have a nightmare scenario in the middle east that was created by the islamic republic of iran. and it was put on fire by the biden harris policies towards the middle east. i would add, it is not just in this theatre. it is also in europe. and i detailed this since the
11:47 am
fall of 2022 in the wall street journal that russia has been using sophisticated drones from iran. so biden and harris have undermined their policies making iran rich. >> sandra: here is the former secretary of state, as i mentioned, joined us last hour on the growing threat and our lack of response. listen. >> the iranians have a full throated effort to undermine the united states of america and this administration, the biden administration went back to the obama policies of coddle, appease and allow the iranians to run over them and sell their goods across the world and now they are closer to a nuclear weapon and continuing. >> sandra: rob, what is the risk to not responding to the growing threat that iran is? >> well, sandra, i would like to answer that question in its historic context. since the establishment of the islamic republic of iran, sadly american policy has,

unfortunately basilated between abatement. let's not forget hezbollah -- and then the taking of american hostages. the bombing of the u.s. air force base in saudi arabia. to the recent attempts to assassinate iranian opposition figures, and of course, former american officials like former secretary of state, pompeo. when you look at iran's actions, this is a regime pledged to be anti-american, and the irony sa sandra, the irony is that the people of iran are opposed to this policy. >> sandra: a final thought to you before we go, morgan. >> it is not too late to fix it. yes it is a must. yes the u.s. navy ships are
11:49 am
seeing more action in the red sea than in world war two, but it can be fixed. if the economic pressure campaign was back on iran, talk to the e3, talk to germany, to france, to britain and have them do snap back sanctions at the united nations on iran, we can get this jeannie back in the bottle. >> sandra: i appreciate both of you joining us. morgan, rob, thanks. >> thanks. >> sandra: all right, john. >> john: if you held off due to buying a new car due to rising interest rates, will the rate cut help you buy a new one. we are in pennsylvania today, and he has a car behind him that i want to drive. >> sad news, john, if you couldn't afford this jeep wrangler, $50,000 before the fed cut rates, you probably can't afford it after they cut them now either. i will explain why that is so after we come back in just a moment.

11:54 am
jeff is live in pennsylvania with more. how is the rate cut going to impact americans who want to buy a car? >> unfortunately, john, i don't think it is going to have a huge impact, at least it is a good thing. any little bit helps, but not going to take much off your monthly payment. we have the numbers on that, by the way. take a look. the average payment right now $740. remember just a few years ago it was in the 5 hundreds. the average loan term is over 6 years, 69 months, almost 6 years. the average loan payment $40,000. the interest rates are about 7%. better if you have good credit. not so hot if you have bad credit. like if you are the 3 to 400 to 500 range of credit score, you are paying about 15%. this is a dealership called david, crysler jeep, dodge, ram, and david is david calihar.
