>> democratic vice-presidential nominee, tim

walz, holding a campaign event today in battle ground pennsylvania as former president trump is gearing up for a rally this afternoon in battleground north carolina where he is expected to focus on the economy and high prices. as vice-president kamala harris held a rally last night in the blue wall state of wisconsin. and she faces calls for more interviews from the media. welcome to fox news live, i'm alicia acuna. griff: we're coming down the stretch, 45 days from election day as early in-person voting is now underway this three states this weekend and today is the deadline for states to send out ballots to military and overseas voters. alexandria huff is live in wilmington, north carolina, kicking things off for us. hey, alex. >> yeah, griff, early voting hasn't kicked off in north carolina just yet, but we have a few states where it's happening. we were talking to voters prior to the rally starting.

it's filling up behind me. most plan to vote in-person on election day, save for one older couple, they told me they will take advantage of early voting and go at their own pace and not stand in the kind of line they were standing to get into this rally. and president biden was supposed to be back in north carolina in april. weather stopped him from doing so, he kicked off in virginia, minnesota, south dakota and you know, elsewhere there's been changes made that are really getting the attention of voters. here in pennsylvania, the state supreme court mandated voters will have to properly mail in in order to count and in georgia ballots have to hand count by three, and the statement last week, there's a demographic shift here, a lot of new voters and president

trump will spend a lot of time here. and j.d. vance was here a couple of days ago and today he's expected to talk about inflation, the economy, housing prices. here is what he said at his last rally in new york. >> our heavy industries have exported overseas and our middle class has been eviscerated right here at home, been eviscerated. housing costs are out of control. inflation has cost a typical family $28,000. >> that resonates with voters here in north carolina. north carolina has long been considered a very affordable state. that's been changing a little bit since there's such an influx of outsiders moving to north carolina. it's not only impacted the political landscape of the state, but also prices. griff: the tar heel state could play a key role. alexandria hoff in wilmington. alicia: vice-president kamala harris facing new criticism over her lack of interviews with the media. this, as she held a rally in

battleground wisconsin with an interview with oprah winfrey. >> good morning, alicia. from wilmington to outside wilmington, delaware. vice-president here is not here to join president biden to meet with world leaders at the top of the agenda. one of the criticisms of vice-president harris is she would be another extension of president biden, a biden second term. here was the vice-president talking about that last night at that rally you mentioned in wisconsin. >> america is ready to chart a new way forward. we are ready. we are ready. we are ready for a new generation of leadership that's optimistic about what we can do together. >> now for the leaders of india, japan and australia here

in delaware with the president, a big part of standing up to china is beefing up forces in the pacific and biden's first year in office announced a new defense partnership with australia, part of that agreement selling up to five virginia class attack submarines to the aussies. the problem, the u.s. navy's inventory of attack submarines is short. supposed to have 66 on the books and instead only 49 with 40% of those down for maintenance at any given time. supporters of aukus, including the senator roger wicker from mississippi and warns it must boost spending, and wants to see a military buildup, 5% of the economy on defense, bolstering the submarine fleet, the u.s. navy maintains over china. wicker warns that china has 200 times the ship building capacity than the u.s. >> aukus is a great agreement

and we need to put our money where our mouths are, but part one of the treaty says that we will do our part to bring australia along with two-submarines in the near future. we don't have the industrial base right now to do that. >> now, if you wanted to hear president biden or any of the world leaders discuss this issue, you might be disappointed, alicia. because there's no press conferences scheduled this weekend. alicia. alicia: in the meantime, the world is watching. lucas tomlinson, thank you so much. >> acting secret service director rowe admits in butler, pennsylvania, complacency led to a breach in protocol. madeleine rivera is here live on the set. maddie, what do we learn from

this? >> it's not just complacency, but it's detailed from the start. secret service and local police knew that securing the rally site in butler, pennsylvania, was going to be a challenge. they recognized there was an unobstructed-- or rather, an object structed v of the stage yet, there was no mitigation of these. and there was a local tactical team located on the second floor of the building, but no follow-up with the secret service to move that team up on the roof. the suspect fired shots from na location. acting secret service director says there should have been clear instructions. >> the administration review identified deficiency in advanced planning by secret service personnel. these employees will be held accountable and the agency has among the pro bust table of penalties in the entirety of the federal government. >> some local police didn't realize that secret service had

a separate communication center on site and personnel on the ground overly relied on phones not radio typically used to send out information and transmissions were missed. and secret service was not aware of a search by local authorities to find the suspect. passing a boost to provide security for presidential and vice-presidential candidates, and give them the same as sitting presidents. >> how many more assassination attempts need to happen before we as an institution get serious about secret service protection? >> they've increased for trump, but they want it into law. griff: and lawmakers have questions for protection for all the candidates. >> they do and we'll see more coming out from different agencies in the coming days and weeks. griff: all right, madeleine rivera covering that story. thank you. >> you've got it. alicia: thanks, griff. for more on this, let's bring in former dhs senior advisor

and former secret service agent, charles moreno. good to see i. alicia: thank you. director rowe brought forward this stunning admission of complacency on the ground in butler, pa. what are your thoughts when you watch the secret service and going forward, its ability to right the ship? >> i think what this means is gone are the days of the cookie cutter approaches to protection based on title. for example, former presidents like trump get this set amount of resources. those days are over in this dynamic threat environment. now the secret service, speaking of the paradigm shift that the acting director described yesterday, means that they actually have to resource to the threat level for each of their protectees. this is a dynamic threat environment that requires the secret service to be just as dynamic in the security plans that they put together, the staffing that they provide, including state and local law

enforcement. the technologies they use and the communication systems they put in place. alicia: you know, rowe also said that the agency is spread thin. watch. >> while we can do this, it is certainly, we are burning through a lot of assets and resources and that's the argument that we've been trying to show. this isn't some pie in the sky trying to say, hey, we want this now. we are not capitalizing on a crisis. we are showing the math. we have finite resources, and we are stretching those resources to their maximum right now. >> you know, charles, resources covers a lot of ground. is he talking about recruitment, retention, training? what do you hear? >> well, he's talking about all of that. the first thing that he needs to do to congress is prove that he's managing the resources that the agency has affect effectively and efficiently. if he can do that, congress

will support him. the resource issue is important. the secret service has the united nations general assembly this month on top of now, three presidential level details, including former president trump and vice-president harris. and two vp level security details. so the problem is, you know, where do they get all of these resources and how do they avoid burning out their manpower? they're already borrowing 1500 special agents from homeland security investigations. now, while these are law enforcement officers, they are not trained in the way that secret service are trained. it's that simple. the secret service needs to be able to sustain its operations on its own, and that's where congress needs to come in, but this won't be solved overnight, hiring, retention, these are all long-projected issues for the agency to solve. >> you know, and we saw the house pass this enhanced presidential security act.

but then we also -- which also like level sets the level of protection for vice-president, presidential candidates as well, and vice-presidential candidates, but then we find out from rowe that actually, trump already had elevated security status when the second assassination attempt happened in florida so what are we supposed to make of that. even if there are more resources on there. if they already have that level of protection and then this happened? >> yeah, not so sure they're speaking about the same thing, being congress and the acting director about what the expectations are for presidential level protection. i don't know if that was actually in place, based on the incident that took place at the golf course on sunday, where that perimeter was left unswept, prior to the former president getting there. so, i would dispute that, but what that bill does, that passed the house, and will likely pass the senate, is it takes away the discretion of the secret service.

and this will also be a huge manpower train because the secret service would usually have free rein to interpret and analyze the threat environment and assign the resources as necessary. what this bill tells the secret service we no longer trust you to make those decisions. >> interesting, when you talk about resources, and manpower, how long do you think it will take for the secret service, honestly, to get where it needs to be? >> unless they were able to do a rapid transfer of agencies, say from the homeland security investigations agency, because they all fall under dhs and say, look, if you're interested in becoming secret service agents, we'll put you through the training and switch you over immediately. short of that, any traditional hiring and background checks and medicals and physicals, these take a year to get done for the typical applicant. we're talking over a year or two to get where they need to

be. alicia: it takes time and here we are 45 days from election day. charles moreno, so good to talk to you and see you. thank you. >> you, too, thanks, alicia. alicia: thank you. coming up next hour, we will speak with florida attorney general ashley moody to discuss florida's investigation into the second assassination attempt on donald trump. stay tuned for that. griff. griff: . >> in san diego we had a significant increase of aliens, with significant ties to terrorism. at the time i was told i could not release any information on this increase in sia's or mention any of the arrests. the administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border. griff: shocking testimony on capitol hill this week over an alleged role the biden-harris administration had in controlling what information was released to the public about special interest aliens crossing our southern border.

for more let's bring in some of the witnesses at those hearings, san diego county supervisor jen desmond and aaron hiky who made the allegations. chief, first, thank you for being here. i want to start with you, as full disclosure i've spent a significant amount of time in your sector back when we were seeing this surge of sia's. so our viewers understand, these are individuals who, because of their travel patterns, may pose a national security threat to the u.s. what did you want to convey? what does the american public need to know about what was the intention of the administration to muzzle you? >> the ultimate impact that i see is that they didn't want to see the threat at the border, threat that existed and since the agents were off the border, moving care and feeding of the

masses, there was gaps in the border and when this happens, it gets around, word gets around and those that really want to get through to do bad things see the opportunity and in the past, when san diego would arrest 10 to 15 a year since we started tracking those numbers, 10 or 15 arrests of individuals with those backgrounds, that went up to over 100, and then over 150 and even more than that this year. they're taking advantage of that gap so there's a very, very significant threat out there of bad people doing bad things that are coming into our country that are taking advantage of the increasing gaps on the border. griff: chief, i want to show our viewers the numbers. there was a 3300% increase between the trump fiscal years, 2017 up to 2021, to 22 to '24. have we ever been at a greater

threat of a terrorist slipping across the border than we are today? >> no, in my opinion, no, i've never seen it. griff: and when i spoke with cbp about your testimony, they did not address directly your testimony, but rather said that they maintain a high level of transparency because they've published the numbers on their website and because they make sector chiefs available through social media and interviews. what's your response? are they transparent? >> no, the amount of information that sector chiefs are allowed to disseminate on their social media and their ability to contact the media is extremely limited. those limits come through customs and border protection and the department of homeland security. as information that they want to put out is limited and the

chiefs are told when and what they can put out, so, no, it's -- that information is not freely put out in the sectors or the employees. griff: we're working to reestablish our connection with jim desmond. the san diego center is the epicenter of the border crisis and i want you just to speak, if you can, chief, for a moment about why specifically they don't-- the administration may not want information released from that sector? >> there's a large amount of people coming from areas that we are very concerned with, pakistan, iran, iraq, china, russia, and those people come for a multiple of different reasons, but many of them have actual ties and contact with

organizations that we're very concerned with and when those numbers rise in the dramatic ways they have over the last couple of years, it's very concerning. it shows that there is an active threat and that information, the administration doesn't want, doesn't want put out into the media. griff: when you say they don't want it put out to the media, is this a coverup? >> i wouldn't directly say coverup. it's an effort to minimize the threat. it's an effort to minimize what is actually going on there and to deflect that to simply that the large amount of migrants that are coming into the country, they want to deflect the actual violence-- potentially violent threat and bring it over to that we simply need to take care of the masses that are coming in. just to go, to get away from

that and to give people concerned with taking care of people who need help, but not get to the root of the very potentially violent program. griff: and chief, just quickly, before we run out of time, i want to play for you a short sound bite, president biden saying that his border plan is working. he said that thursday night to the congressional hispanic caucus. >> i took executive action to secure the border, it is working, border encounters dropped over 50%. griff: what's your reaction? is it working? >> well, it's working right now. my question is why it took four years for this action to come in. now, the executive order has a minimum impact. more important things that they've done very recently in the last month, the last couple of weeks is to actually asking mexico for help for the traffic

that's coming through their country, actually going back to the darien gap and using our friendly forces there to help minimize the migrants travelling through that part of the world and other places, whether it be brazil or ecuador. those things were all being done prior to this administration. they haven't been done the last three and a half plus years and now, just recently, they're starting to do those, they have an impact and a positive impact, but why did it take three and a half plus years to do that? and are they going to maintain that once the election is over. griff: why did they wait? that's such a great question. retired san diego sector border chief aaron heitke, thank you for being here. and our apologies, we lost our connection to mr. desmond, but we'll work to get him back in the future. thank you, chief. alicia: griff, israel's war front dramatically shifting to the north against iran-backed

>> israel defense force is saying at least 16 hezbollah militants were killed in the targeted attack in beirut friday. this after united nations human rights chief says israel's pager and radio attacks violate

international human rights law. nate foy is in tel aviv tracking that. >> hey, as you just outlined, certainly a very busy week in lebanon and because of that, all eyes right now are on israel's northern border. today, more intense fire being exchanged between israel and hezbollah, at one point, israel said over the course of just an hour, it struck thousands of hezbollah launchers ready to fire on israel. take a look at the northern border. you mentioned what played out earlier this week, with several rounds of explosions. that certainly leading to increased tensions and yesterday, hezbollah launched 200 rockets into northern israel and hezbollah says it will keep firing until israel reaches a cease-fire deal with hamas. and israel conducted its third air strike over beirut since the start of the war. this happened yesterday. take a look, you see the destruction here. the death toll is now 37 with

dozens more wounded. at least 16 hezbollah terrorists were killed in this strike, including ibrahim akil, the member of telite unit and under nasrallah. and for the marine barracks bombing in beirut. and others were killed yesterday. and the health minister is accusing israel of war crimes for detonating devices. at least 37 people were killed and more than 3,400 injured across two-rounds of explosions this week. also, today in gaza city, an israeli air strike has resulted in the deaths of at least 22 people in what used to be a school. now, israel says that it was targeting a hamas operations center, but conversely, the

gaza health minister says the majority of those killed are women and children, send it back to you, alicia. alicia: nate foy reporting live from tel aviv. thanks, nate. alicia: vice-president harris has accepted cnn's invitation to a debate on october 23rd. her campaign has said in a statement, former president trump has not yet agreed to a future debate against harris. and we'll bring you more as we get it. griff. griff: i think the american people would like another debate. meanwhile, brand new fox polls out this week show vice-president kamala harris has inched ahead of former president trump for the first time since she became the nominee, but more to the story. here you see 50-48. she pulls ahead by two. but it's important to always look at registered voters. you see the margin of error there, 3%. so that means it's still very tight. but then, when you go to the battleground states, arizona,

nevada, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, georgia, north carolina, the battleground states we see an overall two-point advantage of trump over harris and in the counties within those swing states, also a two-point advantage, that tells us this could be tighter than we think to see that inverse. now, let's go and talk about the different demographics, a lot of information we're learning here and starting with this, harris, among black voters, plus 42%. seems like a big number, but if history reminds us of anything, when obama in 2008 and 2012, he had a plus 80% lead there. so, she's really only about half of what obama was. now, clear that, let's look at another number. harris, plus 10 amongst women. we know she's tracking strong there, but believe it or not, at this very moment in 2020, biden was ahead above trump by

13%. so she's underperforming there. we'll get to a little bit more of that in the next segment, but i want to go to the issues because here we see the same thing we've seen all year long, that is the pocket books matter the most. 39%, but then you get to immigration, the border, and abortion, 16% and 15%. obviously, immigration and border, strongest hand for trump. abortion believed to be strongest for harris. and i just want to look at one last thing and that's this, very interesting when talking about policy, candidates say what they believe. 51% to 43% and then it gets to will they say simply what gets them elected, harris 55%. trump 48%, and we're going to get into that, and dive in with our political panel coming up. you don't want to miss it.

>> i will plan to lower costs on everything ranging from health care to groceries, including taking on corporate price gouging. >> to help americans who are buried in crushing credit card debt under the kamala harris economy, we will have a temporary 10% cap on credit card interest rates. griff: that was vice-president kamala harris and former president donald trump touting their economic plans to help americans. let's dive right into our political panel with us today. new blue interactive founder and ceo, taran rosencrantz and the former chair of the regulatory commission under president trump, neil chettery, and a lot of economic stuff. as we showed on the touch screen, the top issue, economy remains where it always seems to be, on the very top 39%,

saying the economy was top, but then you get into immigration second, at 16%, abortion 15%, a little bit as i pointed out, seems like the real fight is going to be in the second and third issues, with harris, thinking women and the abortion is the strongest hand whereas the border is trump's strongest. let me start with you, is that going to be the difference-maker for harris? >> i think that you were showing earlier you were saying she's a little bit polling behind with biden and i think that yesterday's event in georgia and humanizing what abortion really is about, right, it's about, you know, making sure that we can provide the kind of health care that, you know, has ramifications that go just beyond providing -- that is about saving lives, right, that has the ramifications that can be about life and death for women that are about the deaths for the two women in georgia and what

that means. i think that really becomes about what are we doing to make families have lower costs for their prescription drugs, what are we doing to make sure that we're having the kinds of, you know, the things that are going to help us to have the kind of health care that we need for women and i think that that really is going to be something that's going to make the difference for her. that really brings these policies to life, that makes it about really what we're talking about and that's going to be the difference for her, yes. griff: and, neil, when you talk about women dying in georgia, laken riley and the border is certainly something that former president trump has mentioned. >> yeah, look, there's no question. i think what this polling reflects is how the coalitions have really changed and what you're seeing is because of issues like abortion, democrats are gaining with college educated suburban women in particular and they have really taken the suburbs which used to be republican strong holds, you're seeing republicans gain strength with working class

voters, because of concerns about immigration and the economy. and i think those are president trump's strongest issues by far, he should just over and over and over again focus on those two, james carville said it's all about the economy, stupid back in 1992. here we are three decades later, it's still all about the economy and you're seeing, you know, both campaigns try to make their economic pitches because i think that is a factor. griff: neil, do you have some criticism in this. karl rove wrote a pretty tough piece at the wall street journal, talking about president trump, stop eating pets in springfield and focus on-- is the trump campaign a little misguided here? >> i actually think the trump campaign has been very effective. if you look at the ads they're running particularly in swing states hammering home their message on the economy on the border, highlighting the vice-president's flip-flopping on issues, like fracking in

pennsylvania, for instance, so i think they've been very effective. i do think former president trump missed an opportunity in that debate to really highlight those policy issues and he took the bait and got off track a little bit. but the campaign itself is definitely honing those messages in the pivotal swing states. griff: i want to ask you whether you see an alarm bell going off sips neil brought up the rust belt states. the teamster for the first time since 1996 teamsters chose not to endorse. that could play a role in the rust belt states. is that an alarm bell for harris? >> i think it could have been except that, you know, within 24 hours, every swing state had the local teamsters union endorse her. so, you know, you would have thought, okay, oh, my goodness, what does this mean for her, but really quickly, everything state had their local union endorse and then it's like, oh,

we're going to have this really transparent moment where the national teamsters endorse this polling, and you're like, okay, my goodness what does this mean except this is the first time we've ever had this national polling come out and they didn't show the sample size. they didn't show-- do you remember, you just went out there on your magic board which i love and look at the sample size we need to look at the-- >> always got to pay attention to the details. >> look at the numbers hearings, they didn't put out the numbers, the margin of error, sample size, put out who they talked to and just random numbers, you can't do that, you can't say here are all of these people we polled, but just this is a magic percentage you should just trust. so it really showed that there was a nonendorsement. it's kind of a nothing burger that they have a nonendorsement. they can't tell you who they polled. they're not going to give you information and then all the locals come out and endorse her. i think this maybe is like a save face that he showed up at the g.o.p. convention and couldn't get them to endorse

trump. it actually seemed like it was the opposite of, you know, a little bit of an embarrassment, i felt like it was kind of the opposite. griff: i don't know, neil, a non-endorsement a win for trump? >>. >> na, and that sounds like calling out the polling and sample size. donald trump has successfully shifted the coalitions and turned the republican party into more of a working class populist party and you're seeing that with his gains among these working class voters. and if you look at, you know, union joe biden, trump was still, you know, competitive with these working class voters when joe biden was heading the ticket. harris, if you've seen since she became the nominee, you're seeing real erosion of support there and i think this is an area of emphasis for the former president and those are the critical votes in pennsylvania, in michigan, in wisconsin, in georgia, in north carolina, and he's gaining with those voters, no question about it. griff: well, 45 days left.

we shall see where it goes. thank you for being here. >> thank you. griff: have a great weekend. alicia. alicia: thanks, griff. a kentucky sheriff is behind bars after he allegedly shot and killed a judge in his chambers during an argument. this, as authorities search for a motive in the killing. we'll be right back. life with afib can mean a lifetime of blood thinners. and if you're troubled by falls and bleeds, worry follows you everywhere. ♪ over 400,000 people have left blood thinners behind with watchman. watchman is a safe, minimally—invasive, one—time implant that reduces stroke risk and bleeding worry, for life. ♪ watchman. it's one time, for a lifetime.

a court clerk says that she saw them getting ready to go out to lunch together about three hours before the shooting. and here is what a local attorney said about the men. >> mickey and kevin were really close and good friends. that's the thing is they -- i never saw any hostilities between them. this community sort of gets along with each other. >> sheriff stines allegedly shot judge mullens after an argument thursday afternoon inside the courthouse. kentucky state police say that sheriff stines turned himself in and is now charged with first degree murder. >> this community is small and we're all shook. at this time i'm unable to answer. >> so a reporter was asking if they knew if this was anything personal. there's still a lot of questions about what led up to this deadly shooting. we do know that sheriff stines is accused in a federal lawsuit by ignoring abuse by one of his deputies, deputy pleaded to

forcing a woman to have sex in the chambers where the shooting happened and that the sheriff did not train the deputy. and it's unclear if the accusations in the lawsuit has anything to do with the murder, but sheriff stines was deposed about three days before the alleged killing in that lawsuit and he is expected to be in court on wednesday and hopefully we'll get more insight then. alicia: we'll continue to follow. madison scarpino, thank you. griff: and nominee tim walz is out campaigning in bethlehem, pennsylvania right now. let's listen in to what he's saying. >> steel workers always had our back and vice-president harris and i will have their backs. here are the connections, people, i'm a geography people for years, thanks to the folks at freedom high school for having us right here.
