>> ainsley: good friday morning to you, it's 7:00 a.m. on the east coast. september 20th. and this is "fox & friends." a former border patrol sector chief alleges he was blocked by the biden-harris administration from informing the public about potential terror threats. listen. >> they wouldn't allow us to put out any information. it was very frustrating, knowing what was going on, that there were real threats there, that we weren't age to address. >> steve: griff jenkins on that in a moment. meanwhile, the vice president was questioned about how she would secure the border with oprah. >> this is not a theoretical, um, issue for me. i have prosecuted transnational criminal organizations. >> brian: we'll show you the major assist oprah gave her in answering the question.

>> lawrence: plus early voting kicks off today in virginia and will cain is having breakfast with friends in virginia beach. look at him. that's a nice shot. why don't i ever get those type of assignments? it's incredible. >> brian: fracking. >> lawrence: blue moon he gets the one with a great skyline. >> steve: or the ocean. >> lawrence: second hour of "fox & friends" begins right now. mornings are better with friends. ♪ turn it up ♪ and sing along ♪ we all wait until the daylight's gone ♪ we all knock off the edge around 5:00 ♪ fall in love from a kiss. >> will: good morning from virginia beach, virginia. good morning, and welcome to "fox & friends." i'm will cain here where early voting has started all day in virginia. this morning, we're having breakfast with friends. we're going to have governor glenn youngkin join us in a state in one of the few areas of a state that is a battleground area, virginia beach, virginia. there is a fight between donald trump and kamala harris to take

this area of virginia. and it all starts here today. lawrence, ainsley, steve, brian, welcome back to virginia beach. i hope to welcome all you viewers in by the way to the bell very sear south diner where i will be hanging out with "fox & friends." >> lawrence: what's with the jacket? >> will: too buttoned down? >> lawrence: you are in virginia beach, why the jacket? >> brian: i like the look. >> ainsley: did you want to him to wear shorts? >> will: yeah, what do you want me to wear, lawrence? >> brian: full body shot. >> will: i go wherever i go. my belt buckle from lawrence jones as a gift from lawrence jones. yeah. lawrence, here was the calculation. tank top and shorts? i'm interviewing a governor. >> lawrence: that's true. >> ainsley: you could have worn a vest. >> steve: when will and i were down at first baptist church in dallas, i do believe you were wearing a jacket playing pickleball. so this is the will cain friday

look. [laughter] >> will: yeah, i have really loosened up. i lost the tie. >> will: i am two buttons down. i am self-conscious. i don't want to bring burt reynolds out too early. >> steve: if you are in the virginia beach area go to belvedere south, the diner. have breakfast with him. he will probably put you on tv, right? >> will: pretty good chance. >> brian: especially if you dressed like your wife, right? >> steve: we have seen that already. >> will: yeah. >> steve: beautiful day in the commonwealth of virginia. as he said, the governor of the commonwealth, glenn youngkin is going to be sitting with him at belvedere south in the next hour. >> brian: that will be a guy definitely running for president. as soon as he is done. you are one and done in virginia. >> ainsley: that's right. a former border patrol chief delivers some damning testimony accusing the biden-harris

administration of suppressing information about migrants coming into our country. >> lawrence: he says some of the migrants had, quote: significant ties to terrorism. >> steve: why are we just hearing about this right now? griff jenkins live at the white house with more. griff, a lot of his testimony was jaw-dropping. >> griff: it was, indeed. i know the chief, is he making a major accusation. current stuff that the current border patrol tells me what keeps him up at night. >> this is a serious accusation from the former border patrol chief in the san diego sector that sees the overwhelming matches of those on the terror watcher list. he says the administration muzzled him. listen. >> they wouldn't allow us to put out any information. it was very frustrating, knowing what was going on. knowing that there were large gaps in the border conch. and that there were real threats there, that we weren't able to address. and they were real threats entering our country.

>> griff: take a look at the numbers. more than 3,000% increase in the number of individuals caught between ports of entry matching the terror watch list under the biden-harris administration. you see it 382 since fiscal year 2021 compared to only 11 under the trump years. and san diego sector continues to bees busiest in the nation. a local resident providing this video you are looking at, showing migrants this week crossing undeterred in the dead of night. it comes as lawmakers worry that a hearing yesterday just how many of the more than 2 million got aways might match the terror watch list. that, we may simply never know. finally, the cbp reached out yesterday. i talked to them. they did not directly address chief heike's accusations maintaining they have a high level of transparency on website interviews on social. you see his credentials an

credibility. in his statements is he a whistleblower in front of everybody he is blowing the whistle i is not looking for protection. is he telling the truth. are you surprised it's not getting m traction besides us. >> griff: i talked yesterday with chief heike about this. he is not a big enough fish. is he a former chief. i must stay in full disclosure that bill melugin and i have heard these things countless times down at the border just no one had the will to go out and say it publicly now chief heitke said it under testimony. weave will see where it goes. ultimately in his testimony he is saying that the office of professional responsibility the opr guys inside cbp weaponized in his words against chiefs from speaking out. we will see if we get any more. >> brian: let's work up that chain and find out who that person's boss is and that

person's boss is does that go all the way up to mayorkas? it wouldn't surprise me. >> griff: at that hearing yesterday that dove into the terror threat at the border, they requested and invited mayorkas to appear. he chose not. to say. >> brian: what does he do? not showing up assassinations, he is not doing anything. >> lawrence: important to note that a lot of the reporting that bill and griff does is from sources within the border patrol. because we're not getting the actual numbers day-to-day basis. depend on sources. this guy is not lying about it. >> brian: no one is challenging him. >> steve: here's the thing is he a former border patrol. >> lawrence: that's why he had to. >> >> steve: the administration will not make any of the current people available. that's why good reporters, like we have got plenty of them here at fox. you just mentioned two of the best. they get stuff from people who are on the inside who are frustrated with what is

happening oprah sat down with kamala harris, the vice president came in about a half hour into the program, it's called unite for america. it was town hall hundreds of people zoomed in. oprah tried to put the best kamala harris forward that she possibly could and there you see the screaming crowd. to her credit, oprah and the producers of this event did go through all the event they went through the touch picks of immigration and the border and that led to this, watcher. you know my background was

prosecutor and elected attorney general for two terms of a border state. this is not a theoretical, um, issue for me. this is something i have actually worked on. i have prosecuted transnational criminal organizations. for the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings. i take very seriously the importance of having a secure border answered insuring the safety of the american people sadly, where we are now can be tracked back to the fact when the united states congress, members of the congress, including from the most conservative republicans came up with a border security bill. >> so to answer justicens question, now that that bill has gone, it hasn't passed, will you reintroduce that? >> absolutely. and when i am elected president of the united states, i will make sure that bill gets to my desk and i will sign it into law. >> brian: the problem is a lot of democrats don't like it.

let alone republicans. number one, i would love to ask her what do you think is in it she has no idea. i asked the brain room, has he truthed transnational gangs? yeah 2012 and 2014. what is this? 2024. it's been 10 years. what you did there, that will be good to examine. what did you do from 2020221 until 2024? nothing. maybe accuse the horse soldiers of beating up haitians because they are black. maybe that maybe never apologize for that maybe a couple zoom calls with some central american countries? that's it. don't you feel like that's an epic fail? i actually don't think oprah is trying to save her. trying to help the audience. here is was not trying to help the voter. she was trying to help the candidate. when you hug a candidate like that you know what kind of interview that's going to be. >> ainsley: we did the story with tear connections under the biden administration and we are not getting those numbers. we'll weren't told. oprah brings in all these

hollywood celebrities. julia roberts, brian cranston, chris rock, merrill veep, and people are just tired of hearing from the celebrities. no one can relate to them. they are these coastal elites. we like them on television. we like them in the movies or when they sing but i don't care how they vote. i really don't. >> brian: in fact, it's a turn-off. >> lawrence: ainsley, as a d.a. and attorney general. when there is a case, you get a cheat sheet. the cheat sheet is the victims. running for office. most people strong when it documents prosecution, going after. they have all these list of victims that are so grateful because you were so strong that they want to appear in the campaign ads and they want to get you elected. we don't see any victims for kamala harris. >> brian: are you saying you would rather see victims than julia roberts? >> lawrence: 100 percent. if her story is true about her being so aggressive and saving the lives of americans folks from california. why don't we see ads of people saying oh, yeah, she took on the

cartel, this person went after me. murdered by family member and kamala harris went out there and prosecuted them. they don't. >> brian: imagine if rachel morin's family could say -- >> lawrence: other candidates, donald trump. >> steve: regarding the topic of the border and migration, didn't have what you are talking about right there. but, they actually did have a couple of victims. victims of because today she is going to be talking about abortion. >> lawrence: of course. >> steve: on the borings topic hadley deval raped by step-father who we have seen in an ad for haters and the family of amber thurman, a georgia woman after delayed medical care under georgia's abortion ban. they had some of the victims of that. and that pushes what they're trying to do and that's a topic they want to talk about. they don't want to talk about the border because the border is embarrassing. you look at the numbers and stuff like that. that's why she constantly defaults to when i prosecuted

and i'm trying to stop the fentanyl coming in. one of the things the chief said from the group was introducing us to is the chief said in the san diego area what they were doing, the biden-harris administration was they were taking people from the traffic checkpoints and that's where they stopped the fentanyl. all the fentanyl. they were taking the people from the checkpoints and putting them over to process all the migrants. and that meant the people got through with the fentanyl. >> ainsley: when i watch this and i eoprah save her because kamala harris would start an answer and it wasn't going the right direction. and oprah would say what you mean is this, this, and. this. >> lawrence: unbelievable. >> ainsley: that happened several times. i look at the big production and how they bring in all these celebrities. think about what trump is up against. the deep state, big tech, censoring stories, and then now. this the celebrity factor. but, what i also realized is we're not -- the american people, if they watch this, they are not learning the truth. as if the truth doesn't matter.

it's all propaganda. they hate trump so much they will go to all cost to make sure he is not elected. >> brian: ainsley, those are good points, they say 5% of most of these battleground states run decided. those people that looked at the debate and said i didn't get anything out of it. harris did better or trump did better. whatever. i don't know anything about her. they still don't after watching that. they are still undecided. you got to ask brian fallon the genius evidently behind let's not let her do anything interviews do anything to hurt. let's do no harm strategy. i don't know if you are having success in convincing people number one to jump away from republicans. moderates to think that she is the answer or truly undecided people to think that she would be a good president. either she is hiding her agenda or she has no agenda. >> steve: with the fox news polling which we have been quoting today, it showed that of the supporters for both sides

what he they're trying to do as i have read. they won't do introduce. instead they do a very friendly town hall like this. the whole idea is to presented a very, you know a very sympathetic person look at twitter x people are going to be looking at their feed specific short clips of kamala harris and these stars talking about how great she is. will that -- is that enough to move 1%? 2%? because across the board. >> ainsley: not going to move people until panama city. maga boat parade in panama city, florida. cnn,anderson cooper sent out to interview one of the people in the boat parade. the reporter he sends out is lecturing one of the guys she interviews because he has a

boat. listen to this. >> if you can afford a boat, you are not hurting so bad, right? because a boat costs a lot of money and upkeep? >> listen. nobody gave me [bleep]. i earned everything that i have got. i'm retired military. retired power plant. and i am successful and retired and with boats, jet skis because i did it right. everybody has that chance whether they choose or not, that's up to them. i want my money to go further, i want inflation to go down. i want interest rates to go back down. i want all that but that covers everybody in the economy. not just me, not just 9 poor. not just the rich. it covers everybody. >> lawrence: the fact they felt comfortable airing this after such a nasty question to an american alberto out there. i mean, it just shows you that it's just become activism with their news division over there just because you buy a boat, you got to keep the boat, pay for it. some people live on their boat. such disingenuous approach to

people. everyone knows, not just for rich people, poor people. people in the middle class. number one issue is the economy. for her to say oh, okay, because you have a boat t your concern doesn't matter. >> brian: i'm not concerned doesn't mean i don't care about other people like kids coming up or my grandparents. >> ainsley: there is nothing wrong for. ing to keep your own money. hardworking money. >> steve: the guy's name, joe hannerer, a trump supporter obviously, he made it clear. i'm retired. when you are retired. you are on a fixed income. you don't have a lot of extra money. and as we have told you, ad nauseam, particularly for groceries. we are all paying 22% more for groceries than two years ago. joe got to pay more for groceries, gas and everything. he just got a certain amount pot of cash. >> brian: he can't afford a shirt. >> steve: that would be the

lead. >> ainsley: retired military, deserves to be on that beach with his beer 'without a shirt and having that boat. she kept going. she said to him groceries are probably a smaller partly of your budget than someone who is worse off. >> lawrence: unbelievable. just activist reporter. >> steve: they did run it. they didn't have to run it. they ran it. >> ainsley: that's true. >> brian: i also saw when they went after trump his speech in front of the anti-semitic conference. he came out and he said, look, if you are a democrat, i don't understand how you could voted -- if you are a jewish person in america how you could vote for a democrat. they are going to destroy israel. that's all they focused on. how could donald trump threaten democrats. he is not threatening them. is he trying to say i'm pro-israel. you saw what i did for four years. that was their angle on covering trump. >> lawrence: corrupt. all right, carley has some headlines for us i certainly do. eight firefighters are hurt after fire truck crashed on highway in orange county, california. a ladder in the road caused the

truck and another vehicle to swerve. the fire truck actually hit a guardrail and then overturned. just look at that the responders were on their way back from battling the 23,000-acre airport fire, which has been burning for nearly two weeks now. on to a fox business alert. the port of new york and new jersey is preparing for a possible strike by the international long shoreman's association. it would be the first work stoppage there since 1977. the largest union in north america says its members are prepared to walk off the job on october 1st if dock workers do not win a fair contract, that includes protections against automation, a strike would shut down 36 ports along the east coast and gulf coast, which would threaten the auto motive supply chain. it is a very big day here at "fox & friends." today is ainsley's birthday. ♪ isn't she lovely >> carley: we have a very

special birthday message for her, watch this, ainsley. >> i'm so glad you were born. says happy birthday, too. ♪ >> carley: how sweet. take it away. >> ainsley: i love you. >> carley: we have special guests.

>> ainsley: i know you don't eat meat but do you eat cake, brian? >> brian: for you i will eat in the break. >> carley: champagne balloon. >> ainsley: break some open. >> steve: full-time for us to all say ainsley we're so glad you were born. >> ainsley: thank you so much. hey to hayden. she said momma, we don't keep secrets. i said i know. she said am i allowed to tell you? i did a video for your birthday.

>> brian: leader of hezbollah. devices declaration of war. happening over the last two days. meanwhile secretary of state antony blinken hoping to lower the temperature continue working toward a cease-fire. >> get a cease-fire for gaza over the finish line. we don't want to see any escalatory actions by anybody. >> brian: by all sources it's not close. here to discuss is retired four star general jack keane. is he talking about gaza. we are talking about lebanon. they said the idf pulled off the second largest official attack on hezbollah of the year last night leading up before that with these explosive devices. israel ready to go war right now in lebanon? >> think certainly are preparing for it. and their discussions they clearly have a campaign plan. they have had some open discussions where they have

actually announced that they are getting closer to the reality of that they have moved one of their elite divisions out of gaza into the operational area into the north. they have not mobilized referrings for that particular mission. if they were going to do a large scale ground assault, which likely would need to be taken, they would use reserves, but they could start with a surprisl with the operations they have done: not going to stop attacking. started october the 8th. and continued it ever since. set leader of hezbollah. and the reality is so our viewers understand there is 70,000 israelis that are displaced from their homes in northern israel. and for them to go back to those homes, the hezbollah military organizations have to move back across the litani river, which

is about 20 miles away from the border. so that they can no, ma'am bomb or reach those homes. rockets with artillery and with mortars. so that's what this military operation is all about. others would say just leave it as it is israel, why start another war opening up another front with this war? if they leave it as it is. we are redefining the border of israel. that's the reality of what israel is facing here. that's unacceptable to them. and i certainly agree with that. i think military operation is coming. that's the reality of what we are dealing with. they started hitting israel rockets october 8th. 7th. unprovoked. they destroyed 100 hezbollah rocket ladies and gentlemens and a thousand rockets. this is israel's conundrum. every day that hezbollah is allowed to stay there.

they just seem to get stronger. and they have to ask themselves, are we just delaying a fight that will be harder to win in two years? why don't we do it now because they are not going to stop. but, let me ask you what it means for gaza because the word is if you read the "wall street journal" today, they say biden getting a cease-fire deal has escaped his grasp. it's not going to happen. what do i hear? i heard the same and heard the same for weeks. remember, i think the administration, i hate to say it. i believe they were hyping this thing. i believe we were closer and closer. got 90% of the deal is already done. you talk to sources. and not even close. and they knew where sinwar was. sinwar wasn't close to any kind of a deal. sinwar the leader of hamas inside of gaza. it never has been close. it never has been a reality. sinwar, what does he want? he wants his permanent savior

cease-fire and israelis out of gaza. that's unacceptable to netanyahu. is he not going to do that. the reality is hamas as a military organization has been rendered somewhat ineffective. they still have thousands of fighters fragmented, certainly, not fighting as military coherent organizations anymore but fighting in small groups, quungtedding attacks against israel ambushing them ied type attacks. same thing we saw in afghanistan and iraq. that's what israelis are facing. >> they are going to stay there until they stabilize that situation. don't need as many forces to do it. that would certainly release some forces to conduct an operation in the north. i think that is where they are getting to. you know, the operations in gaza are diminishing significantly. they have more operational forces available to them, naznasrallah the head of hezbolh

not backing away and forcing the israelis' hand. he attacked israel on october the 8th. nasrallah and hezbollah and have been doing that ever since. what do we really expect israel to do here, just continue to take this? we're almost a year into this. >> brian: israel is reestablishing how formidable they are and how innovative they can be with deficit stating attacks in hezbollah and relentless in gaza. thanks so much, general, always great to talk to you. have a fantastic weekend. >> yeah, you guys have great weekend. happy birthday, ainsley. >> brian: absolutely. thanks so much. meanwhile, let me tell what you is coming up this weekend at 9:00. great show. president trump is going to be with us. robert dobkin is going to bring down his stance when it comes to this election and from hollywood the legendary actor. tristan harris on the dangers and pluses with ai. a zoo raskin going to tell us a lot about it and pete you

different opinion. one opinion is pushed more than the other. the bottom line is trump, president trump is -- wants to make america great again. and, more than that, he has taken care of the economy. everything was better under him. economy, needs to be straightened out. immigration is a big problem. >> will: carolyn has pointed out as many people know and i have mentioned this morning, early voting. this has started elections season now in virginia. anna bell is in the hospitality business. you have firsthand experience with the economy over an extended period of time meaning this administration and the prior administration. >> yeah. and i just want to say that we have got to do something about the prices. when you go to the grocery store and it's ridiculous. and that's what this election is all about. we got to get rid of the chaos. but, by the way, i just have to say hi to moo moo in florida. >> will: hi moo moo, there you go. let me introduce to you squinch. nickname he has had his entire

life. besides me getting your name right here on national television that it's scwinch. what is important to you this election season? >> let me preface my answer with saying that i'm a world traveler and i love culture. i love world cultures i have to say that the border. you have illegal immigration is just out of control. and i love immigration. i think it's -- well, it's what we were founded on. i love it. but it's got to be in control. i lover that this being out of control, i think it's really doing a disservice to the immigrants themselves as well as the people who live in this country. i think that our -- the country -- we're having to split our resources with -- and we are neglecting a lot of our own citizens. >> about what had you to say. you travel. you appreciate cultures. one of the things that allows you to do if you have that great experience is to preach the your culture. to say appreciate america. because you have context to understand what makes this place

special, america. all right. that's going to be it right now from the belvedere south. in a little bit governor glenn youngkin right here in the diner coming up on "fox & friends." >> steve: all right will and scwinch. first squinch i ever heard of. >> brian: maybe is he out in. >> steve: it could be squinch in a pinch. >> brian: filling in. >> steve: check in with adam the "foxcast." >> adam: very pleasant weather on fox square. actually going to be talking about cooler air slipping into at least part of the country where the other half is still dealing with summer like temperatures. see that big area of the country 70 falling down to 62 in november that san area we soldier air. really temperatures across the plains. slightly above average. all of that blue funneling in. that is where we are going to see a change in the days ahead. particularly by the time we get into the back half of the weekend into early next week. here is what the temperatures

>> house of representatives set to vote today on new york congressman mike lawler's bill looking to give secret service protection to all presidential candidates. this as house democrats refuse to abandon their threat to democracy attack line against donald trump. >> i wanted to know if you think it's 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. >> no. i think we should be clear that he is a threat to democracy. >> do you think that the rhetoric though needs to be toned down. >> because rhetoric should be toned down, absolutely. >> listen, these are the facts. is he a threat. period. point blank. >> steve: thank you very much

hillary vaughan for those questions in the hall. meanwhile from another hall in the capitol, new york congressman mike lawler whose bill is they are going to vote on today from statuary hall. >> good morning, steve, thanks for having me. it's great to have you too. this is one of the rare times in washington where this bill is going to pass and is bipartisan. >> no question. i introduced this bill in the aftermath of the first shooting attempt on president trump's life with congressman ritchie torres, a progressive democrat from the bronx. because we both recognize that in america elections should be determined at the ballot box and not by an aas sin's bullet. and the fact that the secret service did not give president trump the highest level of security in the aftermath of the first shooting is outrageous. so we introduced this bill. and obviously in the aftermath of the second shooting, we're going to vote on it.

the secret service has since given the president the former president the highest level of security. but it shouldn't have come to this. >> steve: right. >> we have a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of the candidates running for president. on january 20th, 2025, either president trump or vice president harris are going to be president and we need to ensure their safety it would be catastrophic to have an assassination and certainly in the middle of a presidential election, and this is our responsibility as a government to ensure that doesn't happen. >> steve: indeed. and donald trump, because he -- to your pointed, could be the next president of the united states, he needs current president level secret service. you know, jimmy carter, a former president, has secret service. but, you know, it's not at the same robust level that obviously donald trump who is still doing a lot of rallies needs. meanwhile, we just saw hillary

vaughan, a great reporter on capitol hill asking some of those democrats what's the deal with calling him a threat? because, when you call donald trump a threat, mike that, is a go sign for some people. oh, he's a threat. i got to do something about him. they don't get that. , no question. even joe biden has said we need to put a bullseye on trump. you have had kamala harris and nancy pelosi and many leaning democrats say things that certainly are not. everybody needs to tone it down. calling him a threat to democracy is ridiculous. our democracy will endure as it has for 248 years. we're going to be fine, no matter who wins the election. >> steve: right. okay. >> i think to continue to do that by the way at the same time gaslight the nation for an entire year about joe biden's cognitive abilities and then

undermine 14.6 million democratic primary voters and throw him out and install kamala harris. you can't really talk about threats to democracy when you do things like that. >> steve: indeed. congressman, thank you very much for joining us live. good luck with the bill today. >> thank you. >> steve: we're stepping aside. the governor of the commonwealth of virginia, glenn youngkin coming up. ♪ cement we could trust.
