and your father had been what, watching -- >> "fox & friends" for 20 years. >> did you play football? >> right guard offensive line. >> brian: you and lee bryce. download the music right now and where do we get it from? >> anywhere you buy or listen to music. >> ainsley: has donald trump said anything about your song. he would love that. >> lawrence: he watches the show every morning. >> ainsley: maybe you'll be singing on stage with him. >> steve: thank you for writing the song. >> brian: you're coming upstairs to join me on radio. we need to talk. >> ainsley: i'm downloading everything you've every sung after this show. love you all. >> hello, president harris --

>> not yet. [cheers and applause] >> 47 days. >> yes. >> it's from my mouth to god's ear. >> dana: it was all part of a livestream that was high on star power and short on details. good morning, i'm dana perino and bill is off today and so i have -- i have martha maccallum. >> martha: great to be with you this morning. this is "america's newsroom." i think she will nominated for an academy award for that performance. we're 46 days from the election. vice president harris is turning to hollywood. oprah was the moderator of this event and despite the very friendly line of questioning, the vice president did at times struggle to give a straight answer and she is getting some

pushback for what many would call word salad on this answer when she was asked a direct question about how she would deal with rising prices and inflation. >> yours is a story i hear around the country as i travel. and in terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams, and ambitions for your family, and working hard and finding that the american dream is for this generation and so many recently, far morey he liesive. i'm talking on price gouging. most companies and corporations are good but for those bad ones, they take advantage of people especially during a pandemic or extreme weather and they end up jacking up prices.

>> martha: new fox polling what is motivating americans as they look ahead to this very important election a few weeks away. the top answer is that they are struggling with the prices of things that they need to buy. >> dana: they need good answers on that. it's not new. about the same as before. the harris-walz campaign granted 15 interviews if you can call all of them that. trump and vance have given 55. according to the former president it is by design. >> if kamala harris wins the election. her weakness and incompetence. she can't do an interview, okay? and let me tell you, i won that debate by a lot. by a lot. i walked off the stage. i said man, did i beat her, even though i was against three people. >> martha: mary kathryn hamm is

here. let's go to jackui heinrich in madison, wisconsin where harris will hold a rally this evening. >> president biden in 2020 won the state by less than a single percentage point. 20,000 votes. the campaign is out in full force really trying to up their ground game here. they said in a statement this morning we're leveraging this impressive campaign office staff and volunteer infrastructure to reach voters we need a win. 16,000 new voll untears. they knocked on over 500,000 doors across wisconsin since the harris campaign launched. a new poll has harris up by a single point here in wisconsin. it is well within the margin of error, which is plus or minus three percentage points. showing that really this state is not certain and of the states in this area, it might be the toughest for the harris campaign to win. in her interview yesterday, harris struggled to answer many

of the same questions that she has been posed in those very few interviews she has done. the same questions voters have about her. the top issue. what she would do on the economy and inflation. >> i'm sure many of you saw the debate. [cheers and applause] on that point about, all based on concepts. concepts. concepts. their project 2025 agenda would pull our nation backward but we are not going back. we are not going back. we are not going back. instead together we will chart a new way forward. >> president trump has distanced himself from project 2025 many times. even the white house from the podium acknowledged that they can't pin project 2025 on trump. in their language when they talk about it they say it's embraced

by republicans. the campaign not taking the same approach and continuing to try to tie trump to project 2025 hoping that that contrast will be enough to energize voters and get them out to the polls. harris is going all in on the contract with trump and her campaign said in a podcast today that they're hoping to get another debate because in that moment they think that that is when the contest will be clearest, martha. >> martha: thank you very much. >> dana: we have mary kathryn hamm. we love having her on. a few things are strange. twice now kamala harris has brought up she has a gun. no one followed up to say what kind. here she was talking about what would happen if somebody broke into her home. >> i'm a gun owner, too. >> i didn't know that. >> if anybody breaks into our house they're getting shot. >> i hear that, i hear that. >> probably should not have said that.

[laughter] my staff will deal with that later. >> dana: what did you think of yesterday? >> it might be the first time i have agreed with her on the right of self-defense. he said they were racist and grounded in racism and has a limited view. i'm not surprised it's okay fiori leitz to try to dpe fend defend themselves i'm sure oprah has armed security as well as they should under the constitution of this nation. when she was giving the answer about prices for day-to-day living and the couple looked like laboring to understand if there is a point in there for them. there is not. she basically says i'll lower prices by lowering prices. that's a thing that i'm going to do because america and your dreams and that is not really a sufficient answer. she is up against an opponent who has his own liabilities and

might make her more attractive for that reason but she in this forum, which should have been just easy to knock out of the park. oprah is helping you the whole time. meryl streep there is not remembering her lines. everybody is having a good time. it should have gone off perfectly and these answers are pretty hard to listen to sometimes. particularly if you are a person -- i was checking. i have four kids. our grocery prices, a double digit percentage increase from this month in 2023 to 2024. i didn't even go back to 2021. it is several hundred dollars in a movement this is what people are dealing with. if it's hurting our family it is hurting others a lot more. that couple didn't hear anything about how she would help. >> martha: i'm watching that couple's faces launching into this long thing about, you know, coming from a middle class family and the hopes and dreams and aspirations and you can see on their face yeah, and? how is this going to make my

life better? they are very polite and obviously, you know, they just want someone to give them an answer. they didn't really get there. then we got all of these moments from all of these fawning celebrities and i'm just thinking whose mind is this changing of the very small sliver of ten or 11% of people who haven't made up their minds. watch these reactions from some very big celebrities. >> i'm just smiling from ear-to-ear, oprah. i have never felt this much joy and optimism in a campaign in a long time. >> i've always been a fan of kamala. >> everybody is so energized. >> exciting. >> this campaign to beautiful, wonderful kamala harris. >> martha: does that move the needle here? >> i don't know how far it goes with working class voters who are trying to feed their families dealing with the cost

of living, right? people like celebrities, it adds a little -- to this campaign and all of it is joy. it might energize the base to some extent but you run the risk of hanging next to them and not looking like you are particularly in touch with the issues of regular voters as kamala illustrated she is not. she had no answer for the couple who had issues buying groceries. >> dana: today it's 46 days until the election. not many days left to help change minds. look at their strategy might turn out to be brilliant but might turn out to be the thing that hurts them the most. mary kathryn hamm, have a great weekend. thank you for joining us. >> martha: thank you. >> i think it's safe to say they're here for sure. >> dana: that's former u.s. border patrol chief of the san

diego sector on sean hannity revealing he believes illegal immigrants with ties to terrorism are in our country. officials within the biden administration are covering it up. watch. >> so they basically were telling you to lie to the american people and cover it up on their behalf. is that an accurate description? >> i think it's pretty accurate. they wouldn't allow us to put out any information. it was very frustrating knowing what was going on, knowing there were large gaps in the border coverage and that there were real threats there that we weren't able to address and that there were real threats entering our country. >> who was telling you to do that? >> it came through border patrol headquarters. >> dana: during trump's time in office only 11 encounters with known terrorists. under the biden-harris administration it ballooned to 382, more than a 3,000% increase not including the ones that got

away. >> martha: one small town is dealing with major surge of illegal immigrants. bill melugin on the ground in springfield, ohio where vivek ramaswamy is hearing about the impact of the biden-harris open border policy. many of those people are there through a different program and some are there legally but bill a lot of people in springfield are not happy. >> good morning to you. i can tell you many of the springfeld residents say they aren't angry at the 15,000 haitian migrants for settling in the city or blame them for wanting a better life but blame the federal government and local leaders who they say are not listening to them. you can imagine how excited they were last night when former republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy showed up and got cheers when he walked in. he essentially handed the mic over to more than 200 of these locals, let them sound off and

vent about the issues they say this haitian influx has cost for their little town. >> we could have handled 3,000 or 4,000 people. we're not -- unwelcoming to that effect. but 20,000? when does it stop? >> make the haitians feel welcome but they also have to learn our culture and the biggest thing is -- the biggest thing is they don't know how to drive. >> so we needless migrants in this town. we can't absorb them. >> springfield has made national headlines as the influx of so many haitians has stretched services and accused its residents for being unwelcoming. i asked those residents last night to respond to that. >> there are people outside of springfield who call you guys racist for being worried and upset about that. how do you respond to that? >> you know what? you don't live here so mapped your own business. >> how about i change your population by 50% and see how

you like it. >> it isn't racism. if they were 20,000 people from sweden it would be the same thing. >> i don't think i'm racist. i think springfield is a very welcoming community. >> in the meantime former president donald trump has said he plans to visit springfield in the coming weeks but the city's republican mayor said yesterday that a trump visit is not what's best for his city right now. take a listen. >> a visit from the former president will undoubtedly place demands on our safety structure. should he change his plan it would convey a message to peace of springfield. >> i can tell you several of these springfield residents we talked to last night expressed a lot of frustration about lengthy wait times for their medical appointments. just yesterday ohio governor mike dewine announced as a result of this haitian influx

and lengthy medical wait times, the state is going to be setting up a mobile health clinic here in springfield that will start next week. the state is hoping it will help out by meeting some of that demand and cutting down some of those wait times. one of the biggest frustrations for locals out here, guys. send it back to you. >> martha: thank you very much. >> dana: shocking crime in kentucky. a judge shot and killed in his chambers. authorities are charging a local sheriff with the murder. we have the disturbing details. >> martha: meanwhile a stunning report out of chicago. teachers say that they are being forced to pass migrant children regardless of their test scores. just move them through to the upper grades. we'll talk about implications of that and who else is being impacted by this. plus this. >> why are you in my car? no, you can't get out. we are calling the cops. what do you mean for what?

this is grand theft auto. >> dana: remember this? a man in miami catching a suspected car thief red-handed. the owner of that car is here to tell us how it all unfolded. i try to put my arm around any vet that i can. absolutely. at newday usa, that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique. here's an important benefit for veteran homeowners who need cash. you can take out $70,000 or more with the newday 100 va cash out loan. with home values still close to all-time highs, now's the time to turn your home equity into cash. rates on credit cards and car loans have skyrocketed.

>> a situation like this takes place especially in a small town, it shakes the very foundation of what the town is. this is no different. we're just hoping it is a bad situation that we can resolve it as quickly as possible and start that process forward. >> martha: an investigation underway after this kentucky judge was shot and killed in his chambers yesterday and police say that district judge mullins

was shot multiple times at the courthouse in the eastern part of the state and pronounced dead at the scene. a local sheriff has been arrested and charged with first degree murder on suspicion in this killing. so you'll hear more about this story out of kentucky as we get it. >> we're going to get them out. thank you all very much. that's a great group of people. that's a lot of people, too, we're going to get them out. thank you. >> dana: israeli hostages taking center stage on american soil. victims' families rallying in front of the u.n. refusing to let their stories be forgotten. cb cotton is here with the story near the united nations. >> israeli flags fill the plaza

hoping to send a message to diplomats arriving in new york city this week. people here tell me they hope when the united nations debate begins on tuesday hostage release is at the top of the conversation. nearly a year since the start of the israeli hamas war. people here are worried that the hostages in gaza may be forgotten. some loved ones of the hostages who are here today tell me that time is simply running out. >> one of the reasons we set this rally for today is that it is not on the agenda of any of the official meetings at the u.n. general assembly and these last two weeks and the high level week next week. we were shocked this is not on the table. no one is discussing this and hoping they will hear us and bring it to the forefront. >> today's gathering comes less than a month after six hostages

were found shot dead in a hamas tunnel under gaza. the 23-year-old israeli american whose parents for months made desperate pleas to world leaders to secure his release. another woman was found and her brother is speaking here today. tim walz spoke with family members of some of the hostages yesterday and former president donald trump spoke at the israeli american council. dana, back to you. >> dana: thank you, keep us posted. ♪ >> martha: troubling report out of chicago. public school teachers told by administrators that they need to let the migrant students get through the grade even if they are not learning or performing at grade level. even if they display severe academic deficiencies they are saying pass them onto the next grade. ultimately failing children in the long run obviously by doing that according to our next

guest. former ceo of chicago public schools, the runner up to brandon johnson in the mayor's race in the last election. paul, very good to have you with us today. obviously if they are pushing migrant students through the public school system, these children are not learning anything. what really stood out to me in your editorial was that you said the chicago school system is abandoning all students. this is a huge deal but it goes far beyond just failing migrant students. this kind of problem is happening widespread for a long time, correct? >> just not in chicago. i think there has been a national movement on the part of the major teacher unions, the national teacher unions, to really overturn social promotion. you are seeing it in the chicago public schools. the head of the chicago teachers union has argued that specifically that testing itself is an invention of white racists

to deliberately fail black teachers. that's the rhetoric you get from the chicago teachers union president's leadership. the mayor has basically said that he does not measure school success based on academic performance, he measures success based on funding. at the end of the day, i think post covid there have been a desperate attempt to stop keeping store. it is just the symptom of a much larger problem and that's abandoning standards and returning to the socially promoting of children to the next grade level. >> martha: it is so shocking. and it should be so shocking to everyone across this nation that a, the mayor thinks that the more you spend, the better job you are doing. kratz. he is doing a fab laws job. they have 30,000 per student. you know how many schools would love to have that money to do a good job educating children.

why do you not think it is a front and center issue how we're failing our children across the nation and they are underperforming grade level in dramatic ways, 75 to 80%. why isn't this being talked about? i haven't heard kamala harris saying anything about it. she is talking to oprah. >> many tlsh -- look, post covid the national teacher unions have become so political. in chicago the teachers union is really the backbone of the political machine here. at the end of the day, they are the big -- they have the big muscle and they are constantly evoking race to justify additional funding while explaining the failures of the system. but again, this is just not happening in the large urban districts. it is beginning to happen nationally. the public school system -- the public school's response to

covid was so abyss mall. the catholic schools that closed down nationally showed literally no academic loss. the catholic schools who did not close during covid. >> martha: those children were well served. what is a suggestion of one solution. what is one thing that could happen that would start to help these kids get the education they need? >> look, i'm a strong proponent of school choice. you have to give parents the ability to select their own schools. in chicago they're trying to. charter schools, i'm a strong proponent of school choice and strong proponent of empowering the communities to select better school models when the schools are failing. the communities have very little input in what to do about schools. >> martha: i hope they continue to listen to you and that you

continue to get your voice out there. it is such an important -- people wonder why, you know, kids in their 20s and 25-year-olds aren't doing well when they start the first job. not hard to figure out. not well educated and have to start over at that point. great to have you with us today. thank you, paul. >> pleasure. >> dana: the middle east on the brink again as fire is exchanged at israel's northern border. where does the conflict go from here. acting secret service director ronald rowe taking questions from reporters later today. will there be accountability for the assassination attempts against former president trump? s life-changing medical breakthroughs, every second counts. but without investment, those breakthroughs are often paused. citi's seamlessly connected banking, markets and services businesses, deliver global financial solutions. so our client can keep investing in innovations

>> martha: anti-israel protestors having their way at the university of north carolina in chapel hill. they spray painted the rotc naval academy building on the campus. among the graffiti the words

burn and riot. officials said they moved across the campus. >> our policy has not changed. our commitment to israel's security is iron clad. that hasn't changed. have to fight against, you know, iran-backed threats including hezbollah. we want to see a diplomatic resolution. >> dana: israel and hezbollah have been trading fire across the border for months now following the second wave of device explosions as well. the conflict between the two arch enemies is heating up since july. how did we get to this point? july 27th, '12 children were killed in israel, israeli citizens killed by a hezbollah rocket. a strike inside beirut that took out of the one top military commanders of hezbollah.

now they say we're in a new phase of war. idf kills a hezbollah commander and idf is getting nervous. israel said we won't take it and we want to move citizens back into northern israel. they launched this preemptive strike against hezbollah and this week the digital trojan horse story of our lifetimes. hezbollah pagers exploded all over the country and next day with radios. israel at that point announced a new phase in the war. so where does that leave us? joining us now is former secretary of state mike pompeo. a fox news contributor and mr. secretary, i think that's where we need to go from here with your commentary and your expertise. where do you think either israel should go or what they should be prepared for as iran and hezbollah assess the damage? >> good morning. look, israelis have now declared an additional war aim. a simple one.

return roughly 90 or 100,000 people who had to flee their homes for months now back to where they live in the northern part of israel. hezbollah has fired this morning 150 missiles into the northern part of israel. the israelis will have to take out every one of these rocket launchers and take down hezbollah in the same way they have hamas in gaza. it's really ties back to the central challenge. without a united states that is prepared to assist israel and to provide them the things they need and to actually make clear that there is no moral equivalence between houthis backed the iranians launching missiles to kill americans in the red sea and the israelis who have launched an operation that took out hezbollah terrorists with pagers. until you have declared there is no moral equivalence there you'll convince the iranians to keep at this. we've lost deterrents. united states has failed israel and they have to do the hard work themselves i'm afraid.

>> dana: why are hezbollah's pagers off limits? they're crying foul. israel isn't allowed the fight back. you have the united nations general assemblyly meeting in new york next week. what should the united states be doing and biden-harris be doing at this moment? >> they should be unequivocal. they should be demanding that the u.n. security council pass a resolution that declares that what the israelis have done is in their own self-defense and proper and demanding that israel return -- that iran stop all the funding and all the resources. you've seen it. it is not just the houthis or hezbollah and hamas, it is funding of the u.n. organization that now had terrorists folks in west bank now terrorists in the schools, that the next generation of palestinians in gaza to conduct the terror

campaign now almost a year ago. they should be demanding the hostages be returned. we shouldn't forget and i hope president biden invites president harris, there are still americans being held by iranians today in gaza. those are the things i hope the united states will argue for next week in new york city. my fear is they will be demanding a cease-fire, which would only reward the horrific barbaric behavior we've seen from the iranians over the past months and months and months. >> dana: iranian -- iran hacked into the trump campaign computers, tried to get that information to the harris-walz campaign. that campaign says we don't know what you are talking about. we haven't seen it if they did. iran is trying to influence the election, amongst other enty trees trying to do so. what should biden harris do to try to push back on that? >> so iranian hacking efforts are not new. american passivity and laydown

in the face of these threats is indecent and completely new. in the trump administration we would have imposed economic sanctions being enforced. this administration refused to declare the houthis are even terrorists. launching rockets and killing israeli civilians. they won't declare that they're terrorists in yemen. and now when they are trying to interfere in our elections in real ways. not about memes and social media posts and comments on x but rather actually interfere by stealing information from one campaign and delivering it to the opponent to try to influence the outcome and shape that in the battleground states. the government, the united states government biden and harris have a responsibility to impose real costs. we'll suffer this in the 46 days before the election the iranians will continue to double down and double down until the united states takes real action and

imposes real costs on the iranians. we have a tools, we need to use them for goodness sakes. >> dana: one man said it is time for the united states to go on offense against this. we'll keep you on speed dial as the tension in the middle east picks up. thank you. >> thank you. >> martha: the battle for power in the senate resting on one state, montana. republican candidate tim sheehy joins us next on the high-stakes race. an exciting week three of football. howie long will tell us what to expect this sunday coming up.

>> martha: republican senate candidate shey pulling ahead of john tester. the end of august recent poll shows shey leading by eight points. the real clear average is five points now. the balance of power may rest on montana. "politico" writes dem senate hopes are running through a single state, not looking great. that from the "politico" headline. tim sheehy joins me now. welcome. i think republicans feel that west virginia is their best bet to tie up the senate and now it's looking like you may be the best bet to produce a republican majority in the senate. give us your take on where things stand right now and how optimistic you are or how cautious you are? >> well, we have to run like we're behind all the way to the

finish line. we knew from the beginning this entire cycle would be very competitive and very important for the future of the country. as we just heard that mike pompeo talked about what's going on in foreign policy. that has impacts here at home. montana wants common sense back. we haven't gotten that for 3 1/2 years. the white house is critically important. everyone is realizing the senate is a check with with the radical agenda and the impacts of that in 3 1/2 years. the race in montana will be the tipping point race. we're running like we're behind and do it for another 45 days. we have to win this seat for the future of the country. >> martha: market in 2020 trump won monday monday. tester has been a senator since 2007. a lot of split ticket voting in montana. what do you think will make the difference? i saw tester on another cable news channel talking about

abortion rights and focusing on restoring roe v. wade. what do you think the most pivotal issues are in this race? >> kitchen table issues, common sense issues, they want secure border, cheap gas, safe streets. we see crime waves across all of america and montana. montana is mayberry. people aren't used to violent crime. they see that rise happen in the state. a lot of that ties to the drug trade. open southern border, severely impacting the small towns and tribal communities and big cities. folks are very logically looking at gas bill, grocery bill and crime in the streets and saying we want to get common sense back. john tester voted party line for his entire career to support all these leftist policies that aren't just harming america but everyday people in montana. for the last 3 1/2 years in the senate he is a rubber stamp for the biden-harris agenda. we're realizing he is not a voice for montana but d.c.
