wilmington, north carolina, in just under an hour where he is expected the focus on some of the top issues for voters including housing and the cost of living. welcome to "fox news live," i'm griff jenkins. hour two, alicia, here we go. alicia: let's keep going, i'm liver shah acuna. we are just 45 days from election day as early, in-person voting is now underway in three states this weekend. alexandria hoff is live with a preview of today's trump rally. hi, alex. >> reporter: hi, good to be with you. yeah, the former president was supposed to come to north carolina back in april, but weather made that event get pushed back. here we are today, a sunny, hot day. lots of excitement here. so, yeah, the former president is expected to focus on the economy, cost of living, inflation. he won north carolina in 0216 -- 2016 and in 2020, but by 2020 the it was by smaller margins, so it's become a toss-up state according to our fox news power
10:02 am
rankings. the former president is hoping for a threepeat here. while democrats see this as an opportunity to turn north carolina blue, flip the state, early voting here though, it doesn't actually begin until mid next month but has started other places like virginia. you seeing video of that now, i hope. also minnesota, south dakota. and there are there volunteers here at the trump rally today. they still have time. they were getting voters registered to make sure they can turn out. all the voters we spoke with said they do prefer to cast their ballot in person, but some willing the show up before election day to do so. >> old school, in person. >> reporter: on election day? >> on election day. one day, yes. >> i'm going to go in person. i plan on going in for early voting. i think we start here in the county october 17th, if i'm correct, but my intention is to voted early and get my vote n. >> reporter: we primarily herald some of the older voters said it just helps them prioritize their time to get in early.
10:03 am
they won't have to spend time in lines, like they did today, thousands here awaiting the arrival of former president trump. north carolina is going to be a challenging state just because of the demographic shift that this we've seen since 2020. so many people have moved to the state, it not only impacts the political land scape, but prices as well. we expect to hear the remedies that he says he will put in place if he should win this election. guys? alicia: alexandria hoff, sounds like quite the party almost. thank you so much. congress is reportedly closing in on a funding deal as they a face a deadline just over a week away to avoid a government shutdown. in this comes after house speaker mike johnson's attempts to tie the funding to voter id legislation have so far failed. we may have new details on the text of the new proposal this weekend with the house vote possible early next week. griff: acting secret service
10:04 am
director ronald rowe admitting his agency failed on the day of former president trump's first assassination attempt in butler, pennsylvania, adding that complacency led to the a breach in protocol. madeleine rivera is live here on the set with the latest. hey, madeleine, what can you tell us? >> reporter: hey, griff. what's shocking in this secret service report are the hissed opportunities to potentially stop this suspect. acting director ron rowe is promising there will be accountability for the security breakdowns. he didn't lay out exactly what to expect, but rowe admits the secret service did not give clear instructions to local law enforcement to secure the rally. in fact, the local tactical team which was posted on the second floor of the agr building never even communicated with the secret service before the event. the suspect, thomas crooks, fired shots from that location. there were no follow-up talks between the agency and local police to address the concern over exposed rooftops. >> issues were encountered the day of the visit with respect to line of sight concerns, but they
10:05 am
were not escalated to supervisors. while some members of the advance team were with very diligent -- were very diligent, there was complacency on the part of others that led to the a breach of security protocols. >> reporter: other highlights from the report, important information was shared by secret service agents and other law enforcement on cell phone text chains. rowe says the old-fashioned radio frequencies were not used and should have been because trump's protective detail missed key details regarding the search for crooks. the secret service also wasn't able the deploy, rather, a drone on the day of the rally which probably would have increased their chances of spotting crooks because he threw his drone over the site earlier that day. griff: that's a great point, maddie, because we're going to get into that here in just a moment with the situation in florida. thank you very much. >> reporter: you got it, of course. griff: for more on this and the latest in the investigation into the second assassination attempt
10:06 am
at west palm beach, we're joined by florida attorney general ashley mood key. ashley, thank you for taking time -- ashley moody. let's start with, what can you tell us, what's the latest with florida's investigation? >> yeah. as you know, after the second attempt on president trump's life with generally the same things leading up to it, lack of strategic planning and then follow-through on advancing a site, ron desantis, our governor here in florida, and i announced that that we would be doing our own separate investigation if for violations of florida law. and let me just back up because i think this is very important for folks who aren't are fully aware of the different jurisdictions of federal and state the laws. they each have their own set of laws, and the elements of those crimes may be different, and each of those jurisdictions has the ability to move if forward with their own investigation. and in light of the public scrutiny on some of the fbi investigations and the doj going
10:07 am
after president trump, governor desantis and i felt like this was very important not just for floridians, but for americans, that that we conduct our own investigation into this, what we would allege as an attempted murder if that's where the evidence leads, and we have set off to do that this week. griff: and, ashley, you've described this as a dual track investigation, if you will. is the federal counterparts, is the federal government being cooperative and transparent with this dual track investigation? >> so, you know, at this point the federal government has charged two to the gun crimes related to the apprehension of the suspect and the if charges that fold -- and the charges that followed and his detention. obviously, as we all know, this person was lying in wait to assassinate president trump, and we believe the evidence will show that. and so a more serious charge that would carry with it a lot more weight than these two gun charges will be forthcoming most likely.
10:08 am
we expect that the feds will follow up on another charge, but certainly florida wants to do our own investigation. unfortunately, we have experienced some difficulties and frustration this week in pushing forward as we generally do with the feds when we're going after very serious criminal acts when there is overlay of crimes. if i hope, i expect that we will be able to work this out but, certainly, that's going to be necessary as we move forward in florida's own investigation. griff: ashley, you heard in madeleine rivera's great report there just prior to our interview talking about the drone question. have we learned any details about whether or not a drone would seem to be one of the most useful tools when the president is going to go out to put it up in the sky and have a look? >> well, look, i think the report that was unveiled by the director of the secret service
10:09 am
speaks volumes in terms of what was not done whether that was based on a communication failure or a strategic deployment failure, in planning for, you know, an event, for a presidential activity. and it appears based on second attempt on president trump's life we are looking at the same types of details. now, of course, the evidence will unfold as we move forward in the investigation, but the reality is you had a suspect, a defendant here that was able to lie in wait for 12 hours along the line of the golf course and got within a few hundred yards of this president. and that is absolutely unacceptable, it's preventable. and, of course, those questions are going to come along. i think the real question is here if we found out there was a problem after the first attempt and every representation by this administration was made we're on this, we're going to fix this from president biden to kamala harris on down and now we're keeling with the same type of
10:10 am
issue -- dealing with the same type of issue, the lack of a deployment of resources, you know, fool me once, shame on me. fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. that's what this administration has to grapple with, the lack of organizational leadership and making sure that we can prevent folks from getting that close to the president or within the line of sight of the president. and i am a hopeful that we'll be able to move forward in a cooperative manner, but certainly florida is going to to the aggressively pursue these charges and, hopefully, these questions can be answered in a credible way for the people of not only florida, but this entire country. griff: i thought it was interesting to the hear acting secret service director rowe when he addressed his sort of assessment of how the situation was mandeled in west palm beach. here's a little of what he said. i want to play it for you and get your reaction. >> based on the information i have right now, i say that that, that situation was managed
10:11 am
according to our training. and so in the case of west palm beach based on the information i have now and, again, we will review it, it appears those agents, those supervisors made swift and correct decisions. griff: your thoughts, your reaction. >> well, i echo the other folks within government have said, you know, i kudos to the folks on the ground that day that spotted, spotted that person on the fenceline and were able to neutralize that threat to the president. thank goodness that we weren't dealing with something much more serious. if we want to commend our officers, anyone that signs up for these jobs, we mend them. but you the -- commend them. but you cannot argue that having spun someone lying in wait for 12 hours in a place where they can have a direct line of shot at the once and future president of the united states with, it's
10:12 am
an interesting analysis of how are we so quickly just a few days after saying everything was done right here? obviously, this is something that should never have happened, and having the right organizational a leadership and strategy leading up to these events is incredibly important. and i think that the investigations moving forward will show that there's always room to improve here. i'm guessing that the secret service will realize that as well. griff: and lastly, and we look forward to florida's report on your investigation to find out what you've learned, i just want the ask you lastly, madam attorney general, we've heard this environment we're in now 45 days to go that we're in a dynamic threat environment. how concerned are you that enough is being done the next time that former president trump takes to his golf course for a situation similar to it? >> i think there's a lot of scrutiny now on the issue. i think the american public is
10:13 am
right to be cautious and scrutinizing whether or not all of the precautions are being made to protect this presidential nominee and our former president, donald trump. that is why we believe it is the so important that the federal government instead of obstructing or frustrating florida's efforts to be transparent and provide trust to these investigations, they should work with us, provide us evidence, provide us access. that is not just good for florida and the evolution of our prosecution, it is good for this country and for their credibility. i believe it would do a world of good for the doj, for the fbi, for the secret service to embrace florida's independent investigation and our own prosecution. that, that more than anything will bring a lot of credibility to this effort moving forward and, i think, assurances to the american people. griff: well, and faith in the
10:14 am
system certainly is what the american people need. we look forward to the results of your investigation. florida attorney general ashley moody, thank you for taking time today. >> of course.great to be with y. griff: alicia? ♪ ♪ alicia: and, griff, a shadowy group is recruiting unsuspecting political candidates to act as potential policiers -- spoilers in competitive house races. senior national correspondent rich edson has information about what is called, quote, patriots' run project. >> reporter: joe weed run says last year a group called the patriots run project contacted him about running for congress. it got him on the general election ballot. the iowa trump support withdrew when he realized the group was registering him as an independent, and that would draw votes from republican incumbent zack nunn. >> democrats have stepped up their game to use truly shady tactics. >> reporter: the patriots run project also recruited

♪ alicia: the nypd says its officers were justified when they shot and wounded a knife-wielding suspect on a subway platform. but demonstrators insist they went too far. c.b. cotton is in new york to take us through the body cam footage. hi, c.b. >> reporter: hi, alicia. well, the nypd says this all started after its officers spotted the suspect, darrell nichols, with a knife as he entered into the subway system twice without paying his fare. but the nypd says this shooting is not about fare evasion but, rather, about an armed suspect who repeatedly ignored officers' commands. what you're about to see may be disturbing. take a look. surveillance and body camera video show the two officers fold nichols up to the subway platform and can be heard repeatedly telling him to drop the weapon.
10:21 am
nichols responds telling the officers to leave him alone and even challenging them to shoot. officers used their tasers, but it appears they have in effect. the confrontation moves back on the platform where a video then shows mix if also rushing towards one of the officers, and that's when shots are fired. nichols and and an officer were both injured and an innocent bisustained who was headed to work tragically was left critically wounded. the mayor, eric adams, and the nypd have expressed condolences but said, look, the shooting was justified. >> our prayers go out to the families. this is fast moving, fast paced and a special situation, and we did the best we could. to protect our lives and the lives of the people on that train. >> reporter: protests have erupted this week because of bystander gregory dell pesh injured in the gun fire. he's reportedly still hospitalized for his injuries.

♪ alicia: the israel defense forces say at least 16 hezbollah militants were killed in the targeted attack in beirut friday. this after the hezbollah chief calls pager and radio attacks earlier this week an act of war. nate foy is live in tel aviv tracking the developments. hi, nate. >> reporter: hey, alicia. so just in the next couple of minutes here, thish s df spokesman is sit to make a speech the address safety concerns for residents who have not evacuated in the country's north. this happens as within the past hour israel has launched a new wave of strikes into southern lebanon whereas hezbollah has launched over 1000 rockets todam intercepted by israel 's iron dome. we have brand new video to show you of that. of course, tensions have increased along the northern
10:30 am
border after several attacks in lebanon this week. hezbollah launched 200 rockets yesterday, israel responded with airstrikes and artillery, but the big attack yesterday with, of course, happened in beirut. it was israel's third airstrike on lebanon's capital since january. at least 37 people were killed including 16 hezbollah terrorists, and the most important was hezbollah commander inn rah rahim akeel. he was wanted by the u.s. for husband role in the 183 u.s. embassy and marine barracks bombing, led the elite fighting unit in southern lebanon. we also have new video of hezbollah's walkie-talkies exploding on wednesday. take a looked at this. in total from two rounds of explosions on tuesday and wednesday with the group's communication devices, 37 people were killed and more than 34000 -- 34000 others wounded. -- 3400.

10:32 am
you can see the most recent, rick rahim akeel -- ibrahim akeel, one of the masterminds behind the attacks, but also another killed a few months ago and a lot of the other leaders within the the structure of hezbollah's military chain of command. what do you make of this? >> yeah. i think a lot of the news coverage -- and rightly so -- has focused on this extraordinary intelligence success that israel has achieved by that pager operation, killing hezbollah terrorists and two-way radio operation precision strikes. but really israel has a strategy here, and i think it's becoming very clear that what israel wants to do is remove key hezbollah leadership from the battlefield as well as their fighters. secondly, they have destroyed hezbollah's line of communications creating a fog of war, or making it more difficult for hezbollah to defend
10:33 am
themselves and the launch attacks. and then i think the third thing that israel has done very effectively is to target key trying to gain escalation dominance and deter a wider war. however, if they're not successful in doing that, they're ready the fight that war against a hezbollah that is going to be less effective because of all these attacks, successful attacks that israel has mounted. griff: dan, many are saying that we're getting awfully close to that full scale war. how do you see it? are we on the precipice of that? if. >> i don't think that hezbollah wants that war. they'd lose it, and iran certainly doesn't want a conventional war that would risk their regime's security as well. and israel knows that, and that's how they are factoring in their strategic decision making. but what we also know is that hezbollah that has been launching 50- 70 rocket attacks
10:34 am
every day which force the evacuation of 600, 70,000 -- can 60, 700,000 israelis from those northern communities. it's devastating israel's economy, and israel rightly made the decision that they need to take the fight to the enemy now. they're not getting a lot of help from the united states, we're just seeking deescalation, but i don't think that's going to get to the root of the problem. griff: and you mentioned deescalation. we -- if you look at the big picture for just a moment and the 30,000-foot view for a second, dan, hezbollah is clearly iran's strongest militia force they have. and now israel has proven that they have greatly weakened is and diminished its capabilities. what do you make of the message being sent to to iran right now, and why isn't the u.s. a stronger participant of that? -- part of that? >> yeah. i think we could do more, for example, against the houthis who continue to disrupt trade in the
10:35 am
red sea. we could take a page out of israel's book and do more to counter those attacks. right now we're simply destroying houthi drones and missile attacks, but we're not getting to the root of that a problem either either -- either. this is going to carry on and continue until we gain that escalation dominance. and when all we talk about is deescalating, there's a slippery slope there to appeasement and not, again, getting to the what the root of the problem is here, and we need the stand up and be strong along with our ally. griff: i want to, for those old enough to remember history, i want to remind people that service the on the anniversary, september 20th, that israel killed ibrahim aqil. he was one of the masterminds of the september 10th, 1983, attacks on our marine barracks in day butte that killed 17. --
10:36 am
it strike me, dan, there's a reflection here that israel settled this score. it wasn't the biden administration, it wasn't the u.s. >> yeah. they kind of settled that score on our behalf. i don't know how many times, if at all, we had opportunities to to find and fix and finish aqil as we did with other terrorists with american blood on their hands like osama bin laden or zawahiri in afghanistan, but i think nothing really reflects the fact that we've outsourced our counterterrorism options -- operations in the region in israel more than this recent very successful kinetic strike. and, again, aqil was on the u.s. government most wanted risk, and it was israel who took that shot. griff: indeed, in the last 20 the seconds i've got left, where do you see this situation a week
10:37 am
from today, a month from today? >> it's awfully hard to speculate. i can tell you i spent a lot of time in the middle east, and one of the things that some iraqi partners used to tell me is, you know,ed the was a pretty rough day, but at least tomorrow will be a lot worse, and and i fear that that's where we're headed. griff: all right. dan ofman, always great insight. have a great weekend. >> thanks. you too. griff: alicia? alicia: griff, president biden is in delaware this weekend where he is hosting leaders from india, japan and australia to talk regional securities as tensions grow with china. lucas tomlinson is live in clay month, delaware. hi, lucas. >> reporter: good afternoon, alicia. president biden is hosting those world leaders right here at his former high school just outside wilmington. and, of course, as you mentioned, china is one of the top issues those world leaders are discussing although it's notable on a call with reporters, his national security

griff: pro-palestinian protesters marched through the streets of new york last night. this aerial footage capturing thousands of them as they made their way to washington square park. the same demonstrators were also protesting the nypd over the recent police shooting that injured a knife-wielding suspect on a subway platform. alicia? >> i'm calling on kamala harris to officially disavow a support of all hamas sympathizers, anti-semites, israel haters -- [applause] on college campuses and everywhere else. alicia: thursday former president trump called for vice president harris to disavow anti-semitism as a new wave of campus protests start this year. here to tell us more we have george washington university student sabrina soffer, thank
10:47 am
you so much for being here, sabrina. very good to see you, we've talked before. so next week is the united nations' general debate, and ahead of that we saw family members of israeli-american hostages gather outside u.n. with supporters to call on member states to to prioritize the release of hostages. do you feel that they are being heard? >> thank you, alicia, for having me. and, yes, i really would urge the u.n. as they begin this new term to really prioritize the hostage issue, and i do feel that in the jewish community they are being herald, but in the international community they are in the. i actually think that that they're being ignored and this issue is being minimize. i really do believe that the u.n. should make a priority because hostages are being starved. i don't know how many are alive, and the lack of condemnation of hamas for what they are doing to these host acts and the their -- hostages and the their own
10:48 am
civilians and israeli civilians and destabilizing the entire region is absolutely absurd. and the fact that they're not prioritizing this issue is absolutely ridiculous and something needs to change. so this should be a moment of reckoning for the united nations and all global leaders. alicia: yeah. we continue to think about those families and the hostages. as you know, we're coming up on the day that will mark one year since the on the 7th attacks -- the october 7th attacks. we also know here in the united states things are very fraught for jewish-americans. a man from canada was arrested for trying to come into the united states for mans at a jewish center in -- plans for a shooting at a jewish center in brooklyn. some campuses are trying to keep protests outside their actual campus, but nonetheless these are happening. to how do you take this all -- how do you take this all in as we're approaching october 7th? >> sure. just tagging from the previous topic. antonio gutierrez says there needs to be deescalation in the
10:49 am
region. university leadership is saying the same thing. they want to deescalate campus tensions, they want to bring peace to campus, but that's not going to the happen until you stop the source of that tension to be. and the source of that tension is these campus protesters. so if these groups are not suspended, if they're not expelled, fundamental falsification and fabrication of anti-israel curriculum is not stop stopped and the university leadership is not held accountable for covering it up, it's only going to continue. i urge leadership the look at what happened last year. they don't want to bear those same vents again like the -- events again. they need to take a action this year and that means by deescalating by doing something about the source of the problem. alicia: the anti-defamation league came up with a list of things how to handle these the disruptions, we're going to put them up.
10:50 am
universities should review and strengthen policies, reiterate policies and the consequences, develop a security protocol, provide resources ahead of major events and enforce codes of conduct. i don't know about you with, but i feel like some of these types of rules -- and nothing existence the anti-defamation league at all, but some of these rules were kind of in place with these universities, and they didn't seem to be able to handle the situation anyway. >> sure. so, yeah, the reason that these universities are not able to handle the situation is because heir not establishing deterrence measures. so is, again, at gw, for example, they have established new policies, and they have enforced them by suspending the sjp and the jvp. these are the groups that are responsible for the campus tensions and the protests. however, these groups are so organized and they are reorganizing themselves, reconstituting themselves as outside groups, and they're continuing to perpetuate the same thing. so if these students are not expelled, if the professors are not held accountable, anything
10:51 am
will change. and there the needs to be some sort of an incentive for these university administrators to the the act. and and one of those things involves removing federal funding for universities that continue to cover up for antisemitissue -- anti-semitism the or fail to hold people accountable for it. revoking tax-exempt status. something needs to come from higher up to ensure that university leadership is taking action. things below that level, unfortunately, i would love for them to work, or you know, forcing security measures and stuff, that that's great and all, but if nothing is done that creates an incentive for add a morers to the truly take angst -- action, nothing will change. thinking about liver excellent points. look forwarding to seeking to you in coming months. >> thank you so much. griff: before we go, we'll take a look at the stories that are churning this weekend including october fest. it starts today. get your beer and brats ready.
