>> greg: out of time! our guests! trace gallagher is up next. i love you all we're out of time. [applause] >> trace: good evening i am trace gallagher, it is 11:00 p.m. on the east coast,

8:00 in los angeles, this is america's late news, fox news at night. breaking tonight we are now 42 days away from election day. momentum appears to be shifting. >> she is the worst pulling democrat against otto trump in the history of national polls. >> if this was 2020 donald trump would win the election. >> trace: kamala harris has not done a single news conference. her campaign saying she is just too busy. >> she is a very busy person she is the vice president as well as a candidate. >> trace: too busy because she is the vice president? the very same vp who is not responsible for any of this administration's unfortunate policies. common sense might take issue with that. and then there is this. >> i want to thank you all for being here.

now who am i introducing next? who is next? >> who is next. >> trace: joe biden forgetting he was supposed to introduce the prime minister of india. by the way, kamala harris has not answered a single question about the cover up of biden. meanwhile donald trump is never too busy to talk to voters and media, even finding time to buy groceries for a mom of three in pennsylvania today. >> just went down 100 bucks. we will do that for you from the white house, all right? nice seeing you, everybody. >> trace: senior national correspondent kevin corke's live in d.c. with more on the presidents' day of the campaign trail. >> what a day and want to start to the day for the keystone state. filly wins their division title for the first time since 2011, egos a fresh off a win against the saints. and the former president is back in the state with a simple

message for the entire commonwealth. if we were in pennsylvania we win the whole thing. just one of many proclamations at tonight's brand -- rally in indiana, pens --, pennsylvania. donald trump promising tax cuts or limiting tax on things altogether like tax and -- tips and over time. the vp wants to -- wanting -- the vp wants to end fracking, and wants to send migrants into the states by the thousands. something trump will not let happen if he is elected. >> i have already done two debates. and we are good. but did with third one everybody is voting now. it is they relate to be doing at their debate. >> make no mistake about it donald trump's visit underscores the importance of pennsylvania in this election. out of the week and both

campaigns were there, the vp candidate j.d. vance, the second gentleman doug emhoff over inbox county. notably pennsylvania has noticed the highest grocery inflation rate in the nation. and 2023 they were up by eight-point 2%. the trump campaign is you vote for harris you were voting for harris, you vote for me but we are stopping things. >> trace: sports and news in the same story. kevin corke live for us in d.c. thank you, let's bring in the independent women's law center, and university of princeton political scientist. thank you both for coming on. i want to put this on the screen this is the pennsylvania price pain and you can the the and 20 -- c and 2023 the inflation rate was 8.2% i want to couple that with the dairy farmer from pennsylvania who said this. >> how are things going right now on the farm? >> not really well with the price, with inflation on everything from tires to

fertilizer it is really tough for the family farm to try to make the numbers work. >> trace: the bottom line is if you are a farmer or shopper it is not pretty. >> it comes down to energy policy, primarily which is something that kamala harris is terrible on. for one, she wants to end the types of energy that pennsylvanians rely on and that they work in. she wants to ban fracking but she also was the tie-breaking vote on the inflation reduction act which is also called the many green a new dealer which basically was handouts to green energy that is just not ready for prime time. shutting people out of affordable energy which is raising prices on everything. >> trace: it really is. trump, by the way, if i can put this on the screen. as we talk about the economy he is up by five points. but immigration, he is up by 10 points. hubris kamala harris.

this is video we just found. she is chanting down with deportation to. you notice who she might be with. watch this. [chanting] >> trace: that is, by the way, she was with jussie smollett and she was saying he was the victim of a modern day lynching. it seems like with this immigration they are trying to close this immigration gap. but when you say videos like that people are like i do not know. >> they are. frankly it is on trump and republicans and the trump campaign to really make that case. they should be talking about her record which is abysmal on immigration every single day. filters remember in the 2023 democratic primary when she raised her hand up for a publicly funded program for illegal immigrants. they remember when she wanted to

decriminalize the border. all of these progressive policies which have these aims which is we want to welcome people with open arms from desperate situations. then she turned around with an issue she should be an expert on as a former ag and senator from a border state. and said do not come, basically completely reversing care position. it is on trump to make that case. >> trace: in the meantime "the new york times" have battleground polls. put this on the screen it, trump was up by five, georgia was up by four. north carolina was up by two. in pennsylvania it comes down to she has to win pennsylvania. >> yes. there is no path to victory for the vice president without pennsylvania. i think what is very notable about these polls is that these were the ones that were supposed to show a huge front for kamala harris because she performed well, 70% of people who watch that said she performed 12 in the debate. that is the difficulty for her.

there was no event, there was no thing for her where she can capture a new audience, nor is she going out there to try and capture new audiences. she has hit a wall and it does not seem like she knows what to do to get beyond that. and this is starting to reflect that. >> trace: the mayor of... michigan, endorses donald trump. he says that this is looking good he may or may not win the election to be the 47th president of the united states but i believe he is the right choice for this critical, and it seems like a little bit of a blow to the democrats and mexican. i have 20 seconds left for you, lauren. >> this is a fascinating case i was looking into this and thinking is it because this person has instituted some socially conservative policies. does he actually liked trump? i really think it is just a protest against biden and harris on the democrats for not taking a cease-fire position all day every day.

it is a step further then the uncommitted movement which was we are not going to move it all too we are very willing to support your opponents i think that is what this is a boat. >> trace: thank you both. and they meantime we have brand-new information tonight about the man accused of trying to shoot former president trump at his florida golf -- golf course. the justice department releasing letter that ryan routh allegedly wrote in the detail -- event that his assassination failed to. >> ryan routh left behind the note outlined detailing his plans to kill former president donna trump. the doj says the letter, addressed dear world, was dropped off at the inbox of somebody who has not been identified. they turned it in to police and routh was later arrested. this was an assassination on trump but quotes i feel do.

he offered $50,000 to ever can quote, complete the job. this also showed that authorities who searched the car of routh with a hand written note was found with days and venues trump was scheduled to appear. prosecutors push for routh to remain in jail. new information it could also lead to more serious charges. >> it may not come today but they will use all of this evidence and there was other evidence as well to hold him on no bond. they do not want them getting out they have to make a case to the judge that he is a danger to the public or himself and there was a flight risk. >> in a previous statement trump has accused the justice department of mishandling and downplaying the incident saying the charges brought so far are a quote, slap on the wrist. >> trace: while the countdown continues, 64 days kamala harris has it to do a former -- formal press conference since emerging

as the democratic nominee. many voters are asking where is kamala? actually, good evening. >> 64 days since kamala harris became the present of nominee and still no former -- formal press conference. we are also learning she is skipping out on another campaign event, a white tie dinner that raises funds for catholic charities. the came pit -- campaign aide told the hill that she wants to maximize her time and battleground states instead. the republican do choose to attend an election years since 1984. former president donna trump blasted the decision on truth social right can quote, i do not know what she has against our catholic friends but it must be unlocked because she certainly has not been very nice to the catholic votes. kamala harris should have their head examined. that announcement comes as criticism continues over the

democratic nominee's minimal press appearances and a lack of specific policy prescriptions. hillary clinton does not say anything. watch. >> we have lots of policy. at the end of the day that is not what caused people to vote for me or against me. high think the harris campaign knows that. >> harris senior advisor in communications brian told people over the weekend that people should not read it too much into the lack of media appearances saying they plan to do a mix of things in the near future including with national news outlets. >> trace: we shall see. actually lie for us in new york. thank you. ♪ ♪ >> trace: the fox news tonight common sense department will ask the famous ronald reagan question one more time. or americans better off today than they were four years ago? common sense is asking the question again because kamala harris is not answering

the question, again. her campaign does not think she has to answer the question again. in fact,, this harris advisor says when it comes to here is starting to media quote, she is a very busy person. busy person? common sense would argue that running for president is inherently a busy job. answering questions as part of that job. this is how voters decide if you are qualified for the job. even the harris campaign spokesperson ian sampson won't answer the question. instead he does what every democrat does, blame donald trump. when he do not have an answer blaming trump is the answer. even the media is a loving care is to stonewall. heck, the media is helping her to build the stone wall. some say that the media is holding a vice president terrorist to an unfair standard. suddenly it is unfair to ask the wannabe president why she wants

to be president? common sense understands the vice presidency is busy but if america's -- americans were, in fact,, better off today than they were four years ago you can bet your bottom ballad she can find the time to tell you. let's bring in this independent journalist hopper along with... and partners president lee carter. thank you both for coming on. we have set the name a couple times, lee carter, 64 days, no former all news conferences. he was the media. the woman who is competing at this very time on and on the network on her show said this. watch. >> he is not -- she is not running for perfect. she is running against trump. we have two choices. there are some things you might not know her answer to, and in 2024 unlike 2016 for a lot of the american people we know exactly what trump will do, who

he is, and the kind of threat is to democracy. >> trace: i always thought we were kind of a curious bunch. >> we want to know the questions. we are inquisitive that is what we do that is why we went into this industry and not wanting to know. i do not think that is helping kamala harris. >> not even a little bit. i think a lack of curiosity that some people have is actually quite frightening. it shows how out of touch these folks are with the american people. undecided voters and many voters out there are questioning whether or not kamala harris is it really any different in any way then what we are

experiencing right now. they want to know what she would do on the economy. they want to know what she would do with immigration. they feel like she has failed on those and they want answers. they deserve them they should not be criticized for asking them. god forbid you ask a question rather than just a post on her truck. i think that is a really dangerous place to be. >> trace: you want to run for the top job you should give top-notch answers and give a lot of them. he was a tiktok creator, she is roasting kamala harris and oprah winfrey for using her name, she is not a supporter. she is doing a little bit of her own kamala harris. watch. >> as i stand here today on this stage standing on this stage today, the day after yesterday, i just want you to know, okay. how i stand, and how i stand today. because i do not support harris for president. >> trace: kind of interesting got a lot of views. one of those things where you were like this in, they threw up, the she is a supporter, not a supporter. and people are pointing at that. what do you think? >> i could not have love this

even more because you have those washed out singers and bands who you tell trump he could not use their song coming out on stage. so i am so happy to see this tiktok star who has millions of followers to come out and say you know what. i'm not a fan and i will not be voting for here is. i am happy to see this. a got a different kind of audience and it is good that more people are stepping up its peak to get we need this. >> trace: a little sound here from back in 2016, the outlet smith dinner back trump versus hilary. >> i have no doubt that hillary is going to laugh quite a bit tonight. sometimes even asked and appropriate moment. >> donald wanted me drug tested before last night's debate. look, i have to tell you i am so flattered that donald thought that i some sort of performance enhancer. >> trace: always good fun, kamala harris is not joining for the first time since 1984. is this a mistake? 30 seconds each.

>> i think this is a big mistake the last person to not show up was a... and look how that turned out for him. >> trace: that its a very good point. brittany hopper? >> i think it is an embarrassment. a lot of the money that is raised from this dinner goes to women and children. this is the potential to be the first female president of the united states of america and she will not attend. i think it is an embarrassment and this is sad. >> trace: like come on this is supposed to be in good fun but you have to play along sometimes. lee carter, benny hopper, thank you both. >> what is your most important issue? >> the economy, getting the interest rates down, getting it to what we can afford in america. >> if you can afford a... you were not hurting so bad? >> listen i am retired military, retired para plane. >> i think it is interesting that people who are a little bit more comfortable are still so concerned about the economy.

>> trace: let's bring in the trump supporter who sent cnn straight. it is a pleasure to have you on the show, joe. that was media take down 101 you were very quick on your feet, sir. thank you for that. the funny thing about this is right now, joe, you do not own a boat. >> i do not. >> trace: you own jet skis but you do not own a boat right now in your point is your money does not go as far today as did a few years ago. >> that is correct. >> trace: what did you say to cnn? like this is crazy that we are having this debate. >> yes. because i just, i mean we are out there trying to cover a parade and a political event that was going to support trump. and she was there trying to undermine the people who were at this parade it to be able to celebrate and have a good time. >> trace: i wonder what you think because we have been

talking about this a lot over the past several minutes. what do you think about trump do you think about kamala harris not answering any questions about the economy? she cannot answer we are better off today than we were four years ago or won't answer it? what you think about that strategy? >> i think it is not going to work. we want to know what you can bring to the public and what you can do to be able to help us get to the next level or make our lives better. spend more. i didn't have that conversation with the cnn reporter. >> trace: what did you tell her at that point connected to tell the same think you just told us? >> basically, first off i told her eye do not think that kamala harris should be on the ticket because she does not have one american vote. >> trace: well that is true. that is true. i want to circle back to the economy conversation. because... came out today and said if people can afford to buy more today than they can during the pandemic or before the pandemic

and a lot of people are like that is not true. >> she is lying. because i could buy a lot more four years ago. being on a fixed income because i was retired four years ago. being retired i told the cnn reporter i want my money to go further. >> trace: and it does not. it does not. joe, we appreciate having you on the show thank you for your military service. enjoy retirement. and if something comes up you can come back on any time, sir. thank you. >> thank you for inviting me. >> trace: in the meantime israel looking at the likely possibility of fighting war on two fronts as the u.s. deploys more troops to the middle east. fearing escalation. later in the "night cap"... >> incidentally bumped into me and she very simply said pardon me.

>> trace: the harris campaign announcing that harris will skip the historic catholic territory -- charity out smith dinner for the first time since 1984 to abandon the tradition of roasting each other. given that this is typically an occasion of unity and she can write her remarks in advance why do you think kamala harris is forgoing this event to? give us your responses on the x and instagram we will read your responses later in the "night cap".

(♪♪) >> trace: the pentagon is sending more u.s. troops to the middle east with our assets already in the region on standby as israel gets over 300 hezbollah talk its -- targets in lebanon on day one.

fears that a wider war in the middle east will escalate even further. jeff live with the latest news on this. >> israel and iranian-backed hezbollah continue to exchange fire. the u.s. military is watching this explosion very carefully. they are adding additional u.s. assets in the region. and major general says in light of the increased tension they are sending a small number of u.s. military personnel to the middle east. this is out of an abundance of caution and adds to the estimated 40,000 troops already in the region. currently more than 1000 navy warships positioned across the middle east. we are learning that the uss truman, a cruiser, and two destroyers are heading to the mediterranean's -- mediterranean sea. this is part of regularly scheduled deployment but the u.s. could choose to keep them in the region at the same time given the escalation. >> do not believe that

escalating this military conflict is in their best interest it will not be in the best interest of all of those people that prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants to say that he will -- wants -- says he wants back home. >> strikes are only reaching as the days go on at levels we have not seen since the 2006 wars. fighter jets have had over 800 targets in lebanon. its real is actively warning residents and southern lebanon to evacuate. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke directly to the people of lebanon he told them that hezbollah has been using them as human shields placing the rockets in living rooms, and missiles in their garages. officials have dismissed the warning saying this is all part of israel psychological warfare. >> trace: thank you, let's bring in idf special operations veteran aaron cohen the president and founder of... israel's major emergency rescue organization along with the project founder and executive

director routh goldstein who was on the ground for us right now and what is early-morning it is real welcome welcome to all three of you. you first, the white house national security comms advisor john kirby had this to say about escalation. >> do not believe that escalating this military conflict is in their best interests are did they go to the best interest of all of those people that prime minister netanyahu says he wants to be able to send back home. >> trace: it seems like there is a governor. every time is a real defend itself, fights back, as an attack because they think that something has arrived the united states get to do this -- considers this escalate tori. what do you think of the strategy? >> i think it is real strength lies in its offensive operations. i think unlike kimchi toll and ronald rosa, slowly deteriorated secret service was tested to come up with answers after the attempted donald trump assassination, on like the secret service, israel maintains

a ready posture. these forward operations are part of israel's self defence. they have a ton of intelligence assuming israel had listening devices and tracking devices and those pagers i believe this is the second layer of that operation which is now taking all of that intelligence over the last five months and tracking those pagers, is strategically putting meso's -- missiles to deaden any hezbollah cap abilities -- capabilities and getting those 8000 citizens in their homes where they need to be. >> trace: this brings us to you, i know your group you have 7000 doctors and paramedics and emts and you name it ready to go ready to help. are they ready i guess is the question? it has been a long time since october seventh are they tired. are they ready? what can you tell us? >> our troops are spread all over the country. the threats that are proxies from iran are threatening every threatening every single israeli, 9 million israelis are under threat from iran and all

of their proxy switches hamas, hezbollah, i says, the who sees it, and others. we have volunteers we are ready to go. many of them are exhausted from almost a year of protecting israel, fighting for people's lives, and we also lost volunteers. volunteers were killed. three volunteers on the day of october 7th were murdered by hamas. but we are ready to go. we are fully motivated to protect the country. >> trace: it is interesting goldstein i know you are on the ground early-morning it is radio, what are the people saying there about the prospect of fighting wars on two fronts? >> i think that they are actually relieved and i would argue would israel is doing is a de-escalation. it is absolutely untenable that the world should expect over 100,000 israeli civilians to be displaced from their homes in the north, displaced from their homes in the south, and just sit

here under constant rocket attack and threat from hezbollah and from hamas, iranian proxies. what israel doing his precise attacks on over 800 targets. by the way, hezbollah is hiding their rocket peoples, they are hiding their drones, they are hiding their weaponry amongst the civilian population. israel is doing everything they can do warn those civilians to vacate the area so they can take out the threat and the region can become safer for everybody. >> trace: aaron, to you now, the headline in "the wall street journal" reads biden's diplomatic magical thinking. goes on to read, the by the administration want something it cannot happen in the middle east, continued influence with diminished presence. they want to be the big dog but they want to pull back some of the resources. [speaking another language]

>> when is biden going to learn the language of hebrew, arabic. they want their cake, they want to eat it as well. they want to pull off the most significant counterterrorist operation against terrorism and the history of modern warfare. had israel been listening to biden from day one which they have been ignoring, israel would not have been able to take out 3000 hezbollah militants, track thousands of communications devices. doing what he has to continue doing, the israeli people are so splintered but they are still behind... because he is a strong wartime leader. at the end of the day is for your needs to protect her own and they will continue with forward operations as it is part of israel's macro self defence. >> trace: i wonder if you would like to comment on this because the palestinian will live forever festival here is macro more and just look at what they are chanting and the crowd goes right along with it.

watch. >> straight up. say it. i'm not going to stop you. i'm not going to stop you. yeah, [bleep] america. >> trace: it is anti-semitic, it is anti-american, and they cheer. >> we are israelis and we are proud of israel. is a first responder we have arabs and fighting together to protect 9 million israelis under threat. hamas and hezbollah want to destroy the country because we are different than them and we are planning to go from here to europe and the united states. if we do not protect this country, if the world is not helping israel to protect against the worst enemies of human beings since the holocaust , it will unfortunately go to the doorstep of the united states. we need to win this war.

we are fully motivated to win this war. my son, my son was 21 years old, fighting now, nine months in gaza, now he is in up north. i think every single israeli, every single human being who cares about democracy and human being should be with israel right now. >> trace: your thoughts on this i have about 30 seconds for you. but the israeli national news on sunday rates,... demand immunity for employees implicated in the october seventh massacre. with the support of the u.s. department of justice department of justice claims that on the right employees who participated in the october some of the massacre have immunity from prosecution. >> if that is not an admission of wrongdoing i do not know what is. by the way, that concert was going to benefit unwra. this is the arm of the hamas terrorist group in gaza. unwra hires teachers off the hamas payroll.

unwra members willingly participated in the october seventh massacre, and now this biden administration is now frantic efforts. cut off the funding's argument get a court of law that its employees should have immunity from. it is absolutely outrageous. >> trace: broke, alley, aaron, thank you well. at coming up, actors penelope jones mother joins us to talk about playing the iconic nancy ragged on screen and what she thinks about facebook's admission at that they abandon adds about the new movie. 8:30 six on the west coast. san francisco, california, the electric television was invented, who knew? st. louis, missouri,, the first u.s. city to host the olympics. finally a live look at lakewood beach, florida. did you know that florida is considered the boating capital of the world.

to play nancy reagan. >> i told you on the break it is probably the hardest world that i have ever had. it is the most challenging and it was very daunting. i was excited because i always want to challenge myself onto always want to play somebody that maybe people do not think i could play. because she is so famous, so iconic, so well known, you always know people are going to camp here and say is she like her. so i did an enormous amount of research and to read her memoir it was like my bible i carried it around onset. it was dog-eared. highlighted. it helped me because i was able to understand her from her point of view which not a lot of people got to do when playing rolls. i got to really find out how she felt and who she was. flaws and all. it was exciting but hard to. >> trace: we have been talking to dennis quaid about this on the producers, facebook is

censored the promotion of this movie a few times. facebook again comes out and says so sorry we did that again it was our mistake. the court is this, while there are no restrictions on this page that would prevent at the admin from posting we did identify a handful of adds from this accounts that were incorrectly rejected. one mistake is a mistake. several mistakes as a pattern. >> this is the third time. it is really, i mean we have a cinema score, we have a 90 8% approval rating. it is still in theatres thanks to all of you. >> trace: and making money. >> you have been so supportive. people talk a, word of mouth, but they want to hurt us. you were like why? i do not understand it is a movie about a president from 40 years ago. >> trace: a much loved president. >> whether you like him or not there was so much to learn so much i do not know about him. it was like it was like a time in our history it was the 80s. i think it is important for people to do about it.

>> trace: you talked about the critics and you talked about the audiences we put this on the screen because it really is the biggest disparity in history. this is the broth and tomato thing. i mean the tomato the popcorn metre the audience 90 8% of the audience loved this movie. the critics? 19% of the critics. >> i think they all got the memo hate on the movie. people come out of the theatres and they are crying. we get spontaneous applause. we get standing ovations. seriously, we are not even there so they didn't need to prove anything to us the really moved by this movie so i think it has triggered a nerve in our country. i think it does not matter what side of the aisle you are on i think it is a really interesting story that people are really craving they are craving a story about a human being, humanity, character driven. you can go see all of the special effects movies but i think this has so much more to it. >> trace: you worked with dennis quaid, john...

i'm big fans of both. >> i was so lucky. >> trace: was there competition on the set. was it fun to do? >> it was so incredibly supportive. honestly those actors were i admired them and getting to play off them, and it dennis and i, the love story in this movie is the heart of the film. i think if dennis and i had not gotten a long or had the chemistry or the support that would not have worked. i think that is what makes you invested emotionally in the movie. seeing that story and seeing a side of reagan that people did not know. or even nancy for that matter. they were thick as thieves. they were the power couple. but they were really in love. he wrote her a love letter every day. thank god i like dennis. >> trace: it will be another bravo, it was fantastic, congratulations on the film and your success thank you for coming on the show. >> thank you for having me and thank you for loving our fellow.

>> trace: back with the "night cap" crew. tonight topic is coasting the roasting. the harris campaign announcing that kamala will skip the historic al smith dinner this year, the first presidential candidate to abandon the tradition since 1984. why do you think kamala is for going this event? skipping it is it a good idea? a bad idea? and why? >> because she cannot humanize hitler. her whole campaign is based on demonizing trump. she thinks it is bad for her campaign but it is good for the

country it is pretty sad to put your campaign against the whole of the country. >> i totally agree. democrats have elected everything from fascism to internment camps for critics it, to civil war. biden said the country will cease to exist basically if trump's elected. how do you stand on stage with somebody like that? you cannot send the same message and she could make a fumble or mistake and that could derail things as well. >> trace: hard to play nice with a dictator. >> the media will be there. it is heavily covered, god forbid she has to speak quickly on her feat. i would hope she is not going just because this is a catholic event that would be horrible on her part. but she does not want to be in front of the media she does not want to answer any question she does not have to. >> com -- kamala pitching the roast this would have been her first opportunity to come up with something unscripted. >> trace: kevin?

>> smart politically? i think she is just not good at this. i think it hurts the country people want to get to know you and she is missing that chance. >> i agree it would be fun to see somebody let their hair down a little bit, take a couple punches, be able to laugh at themselves. >> trace: 80 7% on x said bad idea, 80 8% on instagram said bad idea. for her this event would force her to be off script and that has not always gone so well. nick s says she knows that trump would roast her like he did hillary. she can dish it but she cannot take it. why does she think she is exempt from everything. tommy, bad for trump, good for kamala because she can't criticize trump. thank you for watching america's late news of fox news at night. i am trace gallagher we will see you back here tomorrow.
