men they use the issue of abortion not because they care about women are but because they care about political issue. that's what i was trying to point out. >> todd: are there voters picking trump and sherrod brown on the same ticket or something else going in will 20 seconds. >> name issue. go on bernie moreno.com. through out a few dollars that's how we will win the race. >> carley: your senator j.d. vance is going to be in the debate tomorrow as well. big day for tomorrow all aren't. how is he going to do. >> is he going to absolutely crush is he a great guy. >> todd: is he going to do the the i? >> carley: as all ohioans do. have great day, everybody. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: good morning, everybody, it is 6:00 here in

new york city. on this monday, september 30th, 2024. and this is "fox & friends." from y new and improved and just refreshed "studio m." >> brian: took me forever to get this ready. >> steve: it's really something. new coat of paint. anyway, we start with very serious news. a fox weather alert. rescue and recovery efforts are underway after helene leaves unimaginable destruction across towns throughout the eastern third of the united states. >> it's been an incredibly apocalyptic weekend for all of us here. >> carley: as nearly 100 people are confirmed dead, we talk to residence, local officials, and reporters on the ground all morning long. >> lawrence: plus, vice president kamala harris says she will do a better job fixing the border than former president trump. >> brian: yeah. >> lawrence: dhs down plays thousands of illegal criminals roaming our country.

>> these are serious problems. and we know donald trump won't solve them. >> brian: all right. and some news outlets painting a positive picture of the murdered hezbollah leader while ignoring the fact that he is a terrorist and leader of terrorist who has killed americans? we'll put that in perspective because fox and friends starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> steve: fox weather alert. nearly 100 are dead as mass destruction across the southeast and mid-atlantic. >> brian: millions continue to wake up without power as rescues operations are underway across the region. >> ainsley: president biden, vice president harris, and former president donald trump are all addressing the devastation. >> lawrence: madeleine rivera is live in washington with the federal response. but first we go to robert ray he is in asheville, north carolina which has been hit with historic flooding. robert? robert robert good morning.

amid the mud and the water receding here? asheville, it has been 27 hours of 4e8 30 people have lost their lives in this county alone which seats asheville. there is lack of power. although it is coming back. cell phone service is sporadic. and people are in dire need. all you got to do is look at the video from above and from the ground to realize the magnitude of hurricane helene's wrath as it made its way up into states like georgia, south carolina, and north carolina on friday. nearly 3 feet of rain has fallen in some areas. and there are still search and rescue operations going on in the hills surrounding this town of asheville. there are many roads that are compromised. significant roads.

though, you can get into asheville. and many people are wondering if this is the day where things begin to pivot. where more aid comes in. where the electricity begins to come on. where cell phone service starts and where water gets turned back on and is safe. we have been talking to residents. in fact, we just talked to one greg harrison last hour. let's listen. >> it's been an incredibly apocalyptic weekend for all of us here. almost no gas. there is almost no cell service. there is limited power. there is limited food. there are people who are trying to find potable water to feed their families to have water for their kids. >> there are nearly 5500 national guard troops that have been sent in from multiple states, including ron desantis' florida amid what is he going through, he sent troops up here. fema is on the ground. we are expecting the president

and vice president to make their way into this region at some point this week. former president donald trump visiting valdosta, georgia. and this is still a very fluid scenario here as helicopters are going to be circling the hills as the light comes up looking for survivors and hopefully more aid makes its way into this part of north carolina. back to you. >> brian: robert, i thought it was kind of strange. is he trying to tell people through you it's not hard to get to us. we are not in the hill country. just try. right? frustrated. he feels as though no one is trying to get him aid. >> robert: well, that's a great point. i have to say i mean last night we were down covering the i wal. made our way to ashville yesterday. we made our way in here. you know, yeah, interstate 40 is compromised in one area because it just collapsed. that doesn't mean that there are nod roadways to make your way into these pockets. where there is a will there is a

way, right? we know that can you do it from the ground and can do it from air and people need the help. back to you. >> lawrence: robert, can you give us some details? it looks like the response to what is happening in north carolina is much different than florida. were they not anticipating being hit this hard? >> >> that's a good question. look, the forecasts were there. fox weather, the national hurricane center was forecasting potential for up to 3 feet of participation to fall the problem is that when you are in a hilly, mountainous terrain like this. i mean, often and by the way when you haven't experienced anything like this in well over 100 years. the human memory kind of fades. so, they knew they were going to get hit. but what they didn't realize how fast and furious it was all going to happen and how widespread. having said that, indeed, i think this is a lesson to be learned, going forward. as this being, you know, at this point about 100 -- $100 billion

disaster is what it is estimated to be. and we are still going through it here three days after impact. so i think there is a lot of things that need to be looked at in the coming days. i hope this is a pivot day. >> lawrence: thanks, robert. >> ainsley: it's a beautiful area. if you have ever been to asheville, built more. summer camps there thankfully the children aren't in camp now they are in school. gorgeous area, about an hour northwest of charlotte just above greenville, north carolina. steve hundreds of miles from where the hurricane came from shore. >> ainsley: exactly. that's why they were not anticipating it. >> steve: we were talking about this on friday. more people die from sturgeon or flooding than from the wind. that area, you can see how hilly it is, it's not just flooding. it's mud slides. it is a storm of epic proportions. the governor, roy cooper there said it was unprecedented tragedy. and, brian, you were talking about how hard it is or is it hard to get to stuff to the

people impacted? there are over 200 roads that have been closed. and as robert just said, interstate 40 out of commission for a while. it's just. >> ainsley: in the carolinas, we were used to it hitting charleston, south carolina or some of the beaches in north carolina. you don't expect the mountainous area. >> steve: this is western portions of north carolina. more conch today. >> ainsley: madeleine a river is in washington with the federal response. >> madeleine: good morning, folks throughout the southeasting are go to need all the help they can get. assessing the damage and needs. she is not mincing words. >> we are hearing significant infrastructure damage to water systems, communication, roads. critical transportation routes. as well as several homes that have been just destroyed by this. so, this is going to be a really complicated recovery.

>> madeleine: president biden is receiving multiple briefings. on sunday he spoke with the governors of georgia and north carolina. there are disaster declaration for several states in the southeast. allowing survivors to access funds and resources to help with their recovery. more than 3,000 federal workers are on the ground supplementing response efforts. we're still waiting to hear more about his plan to visit the area. the president says he wants to make sure it doesn't disrupt emergency operations. >> you saw the photographs, it's stunning, getting all -- everything we have on the ground ahead of time, so we're working hard. >> madeleine: former president trump and vice president kamala harris addressed the damages from helene while campaigning over the weekend. >> it's been a rough -- it's been a rough one. that was a big monster hurricane. and was a lot -- hit a lot harder than anyone ever thought possible.

we want to extend our best wishes to everybody, right? >> i received an operational briefing from fema director chris well, more than 3300 federal personnel have been mobilized. we are deploying food, water and generators and working to restore water and power. and the president and i have told state and local leaders we will provide whatever help they need in the days and weeks ahead. >> madeleine: trump is expected to deliver remarks and give out relief supplies in georgia. meantime harris is cutting her trip in nevada short heading to d.c. this morning to get federal briefings on helene. she too wants to visit the affected areas as soon as possible. lawrence, steve, ainsley and brian. >> brian: trump will be there today. thanks, maddy. trump is going to be there today. they say well, why is he election nearing. no, if there is a problem in the country, i was president. i want to be president. i could be president in 36 days. i would like to find out what is going on personally. so, i think it's up to him.

>> steve: meanwhile, for everybody watching right now, the families affected by hurricane helene, urgently need support. you can help the american red cross provide meals and shelter to those families. donated today to hurricane helene recovery efforts by going to and this is the website, red cross.org/fox forward or take your phone out, open up the camera, and scan that qr code, then you will see a little yellow button. push the button take you right there to help the people who are impacted by this awful storm. >> ainsley: meanwhile, only a few weeks until the election. the candidates are out and about. they are campaigning all over the country. kamala is in ned over the weekend. talking about the border. she said she will be the one to solve the border problem. listen to this. >> we must have comprehensive immigration reform. [cheers] with strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship. [cheers]

including for hardworking immigrants who have been here for years, including our dreamers. and i was attorney general of a border state. i prosecuted transnational criminal organizations who trasked in guns drugs and human beings. as president, i will double the resources for the department of justice to go after those transnational cartels. [cheers] and take action to stop the flow of fentanyl coming into our country, which is destroying entire communities. [cheers] these are serious problems. and we know donald trump won't solve them. >> lawrence: we're not dealing with serious people right now. she says she is going to stop the fentanyl as is if she doesn't have hour to do so right now. they here to right behind her. look at the numbers when it comes to biden and harris and their record. 8.3 million people, that's

migrant encounters people coming across the border. when you look at the fentanyl seizures, 66,000 pounds of fentanyl coming across the border. and that's just the fentanyl that they seize. that doesn't count the got-aways, a, and, number two, the drugs that come across the border that's undetected, ainsley. >> ainsley: you are right. those numbers, what is it 8.3 million, under trump it was 2.4 million, and those are the ones we know about. how many are here we don't know about? >> steve: we have been talking about those numbers for a while. the former president was on truth social over the weekend. and made speeches as well. and he referred to how there were like 13 or 14,000 convicted murderers in the country. and that got pushback from the social not detained non-citizen convicted criminals. these are people who were

convicted of homicide who are or were currently are in the united states. as you can see right there, according to ice, the number is 13,000 convicted of homicide. 15,000 convicted of sexual assault. the total illegal criminals in the united states is at 425,000. >> lawrence: convicted of crimes. >> steve: right. exactly. when i saw that number, i thought how is that possible? well, as it turns out. a lot of the people have been in the country for decades. and a lot of the people who have -- were convicted of murder committed it here in the united states. the problem is because they are still in the united states, is a lot of them are from countries where it's like, okay, the person is from russia, we are going to send them back to russia. oh, russia won't take them. they're stuck here. that's why that is such a big jaw dropping number. >> brian: took decades. numbers are stunning but happened over decades.

dhs wanted to quantify it after they gave congressman gonzalez on friday. the data in the letter misinterpreted. ghost back decades. individuals went country last 40 years. custody, determination was made long before biden took over. also includes many under the jurisdiction of currently incarcerated federal or local partners. also keep in mind, too, 3.2 million. if you look at the percentages, obviously it's a lot less, lit alone the got-aways. few other things to keep in mind when it comes to the border. how unbelievable was it that you seen kamala harris walk the border wall. medieval border wall that was a vanity project. she was smart enough not to go through the trump wall. >> how bad is the obama world even looks worse. she mentored him. so he had to build a wall. she thought it was a vanity project. so trump finished the wall. she voted against it every

single step of the way. she has never pro-enforcing the border. and against illegal immigration. and she always caveats with and we need a pathway to citizenship. >> lawrence: that's her goal. >> brian: that train has left the station. the american people are no longer at that place. so she goes yeah, we are going to get a pathway to citizenship. that pathway to citizenship is not on the docket of the average american household. that's why she is trailing between 14 and 17 points. and 14 points in the arizona alone. >> lawrence: can i say something about these numbers? i think they are being intension nally deceptive. the administration is pushing back as steve noted and saying this is over 30 or 40 year period. this is decades. but, all they have to do is release year-by-year and give us the numbers. here's the problem. can you look at the known terrorists that have been caught at the border under this administration. >> it's over 100 compared to like 6 or 8 under the trump administration. so, when you look at the border,

it's just a numbers game. the more crossings you get, the more people that have committed crimes are going to get. the more terrorists that you are going to get. to pretend like okay, we just gave you the big pile of numbers. give us year by year then. we know we compare to all the other numbers when it comes to rapist as well as terrorist figures people that we know have committed rape. that there's a large number there. just take the l. don't try to go back and forth on this as if we don't know. >> i would like to add two the common refrain she is saying is about the compromise border reform that senator lankford put forward. on that compromise bill, i think people need to understand what it was going on. they offered it up there and without amendments and they did a test vote. on the test secret, they lost a lot of republicans except for the people that vote for it were murkowski.

padilla and menendez on the test vote. and booker. butler dropped off. then every republican voted against it except murkowski. where is the name trump in that? because as hard as they worked in a matter of weeks to put something together, it wasn't close to what they needed. unaccompanied minors still came, mostth money was going to catholic charities and ngos that were just going to house people. and most of the people went to expediting into small airports around the country. this was never going to be accepted. >> steve: so 37 days until it's election day. and this, the border, immigration, migration, certainly a big topic at tomorrow night's big vice president debate that you can see here on fox. >> ainsley: we will be here at 5:00 on wednesday morning to all the coverage. >> steve: we'll be. no tax on overtime. >> ainsley: we start with, begin continue with a fox news alert. this is a live look at beirut as the idf confirming they killed

the head of hamas' lebanon branch. and n. an overnight strike in the country. >> lawrence: it comes as israeli forces continue striking hezbollah terror targets in yemen and lebanon. >> brian: nate foy is in tel aviv with the latest. >> just mommy's ago hezbollah's deputy chief said if a ground invasion happens in southern lebanon, then hezbollah will be ready for it. this as israeli airstrikes continue causing massive damage not only to hezbollah but also hamas and the liaison between the two organizations. the head of hamas in lebanon, sharif was taken out overnight in airstrike in lebanon and so were militants from a different organization. three of them in cen central be. an area not hit until this point in the conflict. take a look at the damage in central beirut. as you can see the popular front for the liberation of palestine says the strike hit the top floor of an apartment building. but another strike from israel

yesterday sent an even bigger message to iran. take a look at next video. israel hit ha data. houthi fired two missiles at tel aviv. israel hit its target from over 1100 miles away and that's roughly the same distance from israel to iran. overnight an israeli navy body israeli airstrike hassan nasrallah and 20 others on friday. iran's parliament met yesterday and chanted death to israel and here i am nasrallah. take a look at this. so iran's parliament speaker vowed to continue fighting israel and says the u.s. must accept the consequences of supporting israel. so, now we continue to await iran's response after the killing of nasrallah there are reports from several different

organizations that small israeli groups, special forces are going into southern lebanon to gather intelligence ahead of a possible ground invasion. yoav gallant met with troops a moment ago told them killing nasrallah only part of the plan and them going into lebanon may be the next part. we will send it back to you. >> steve: stay tuned for that nate, thank you very much, a live report from tel aviv 1:20 in the afternoon. >> brian: friday we get word that nasrallah's bunker has been hit and no way he could survive. israelis did not confirm it until saturday. what does it mean? so since 1992 this guy has been in charged. he has been looked at as a hero and indestructible and invincible mainly because when the israelis tried to go n the 1980s and again in 2006, they are unable to destroy the lebanese -- excuse me, the hezbollah army. but, they took tremendous losses. and they had to back out and since that time, hezbollah has been reinforced and reinforced

to the point where they have 150,000 rockets over the last year. they aimed 80,000 rockets into israel. and they said no way, nothing is going to happen to me. last october, netanyahu knew where he was. and he told the u.s. i'm going to take him out. last october the u.s. says you better not. so they didn't. and guess what happened over the weekends? on friday they took him out while the planes were in the air with the bunker busters were on board 80 tons they said we are about to kill nasrallah. essentially we didn't ask your permission this time. >> steve: exactly. the thing to keep in mind hezbollah is a terrorist outfit. they have killed so many people. >> lawrence: americans. >> steve: it's curious in the 72 hours since the announcement of his death, what some of the coverage has been. so we are going to highlight some of that the associated press said that he was considered a magna tis. but amidst the fact that hezbollah murdered a lot of americans. >> ainsley: hundreds of americans, a bombing of u.s.

marine baraks in beirut in 19 # 3. in addition to hundreds of americans dying. 48 french soldiers died as well. look at the next one. seen as a father figure. nasrallah, hezbollah leader and force in the middle east is killed. >> lawrence: the "new york times" saying he had the propensity to crack jokes. i mean are they moronic? these. >> ainsley: is that a joke? >> lawrence: it's just crazy. >> steve: i don't remember them talking about bin laden as a jokester. >> lawrence: unbelievable. equivalent to bin laden the israeli people and to us as well. there is r.t. station, of course, russian television, and they bring on this supposedly journalist and she breaks out crying when this happened. do we not understand the terror that he has brought to families all over the world. >> ainsley: terrorist organizations. >> brian: hezbollah alienated the arab world.

gulf stays burying people in syria. cheering in many factions throughout the middle east. all the pressure on iran right now. now, you are the big brother. you said you were going to watch their back, hamas, watch their back. iran, go ahead. give it a shot. because, israel is saying just try it. this is an extremely tense time. >> ainsley: the leader is gone. a lot of the followers, pagers blue ublew up while they were cg them. they were killed in that. >> steve: carley joins us with news at what happens at midnight. >> carley: good morning, guys. we have big news to get to with a fox news alert. america's busiest port could come to a halt tomorrow as tens of thousands of dock workers prepare to walk off the job. they are demanding higher wages among other things. the strike stre stretching frome to texas could cost the economy up to $5 billion daily. we're going to follow this story all morning long. and we're going to tell you the

impact to you, the consumer coming up. and take a look at this, gigantic cloud of toxic smoke billowing from gary chemical plant after a fire broke out. residents in that atlanta suburb are being asked to evacuate for their own safety as officials work to clear the area. fire officials say water from a malfunctioning sprinkler came into contact with water reactive chemicals and caused that fire, thankfully no one was hurt. but i'm sure people in that area, guys, are very concerned. given that big giant toxic plume that you just saw. >> steve: carley, thank you very much. >> brian: no toxic plume here. >> ainsley: we freshed studio. >> steve: extreme makeover studio edition. welcome back to "studio m." we have been in studio b for a couple of months as they, you know what? we repainted everything. >> brian: they did you know believable job. look at the lights. we lose every corner. we don't have any.

>> ainsley: our curvey couch is on the bottom floor. this is a two level studio. we are usually on the top floor. >> brian: we will be up there for one-on-one interviews and when we want to be alone to get away from the others. >> lawrence: they put extra cushion. >> brian: for now until hegseth comes in on the weekend. >> lawrence: worried about you extra level. >> brian: until hegseth crushes it over the weekend, i love my foam. i love my resilient foam. they did a fantastic job. >> ainsley: now i know what to get you for your birthday foam. >> steve: tempur-pedic. i believe this is the biggest studios in new york city. one of the biggest studio. >> brian: don't move, gma. >> ainsley: more "fox & friends" from "studio m." >> brian: that's the back of our crew. ♪ ♪

♪ >> brian: fox news alert. the secretary of defense austin ordering the u.s. forces to be yesterday to deploy as iran vowed revenge for the killing of hezbollah leaders hassan nasrallah. overall has la has 30 other higher ups dead with him somewhere receiving virgins. let's turn to the wall to see exactly what the israeli penetrated and how they got into the hezbollah network. this is the gold standard of terror opportunities. so here we have, this would happen in new york. shot prime minister netanyahu

giving orders to take out nasrallah, why? they have been tracking them for months and they knew he was heading to the headquarters where they knew exactly where he would be. go deep underneath all the higher command. they start seeing other movements, they were tracking the g.p.s. on their cars, spies on the ground. they knew something was up. returned fire after a series of explosions, then they would quickly hit and drop 80 tons of bombs into the bunker believed to be 60 feet below where nasrallah was. and he thought he was impervious to any type of bomb. when you drop 80 tons of bombs. 2,000-pound bombs they would do the damage. early on when the bombing started, they said he was alive. soon it became clear when nothing came out that he was indeed dead. take ache loot a people just standing by. look what is around there, apartment buildings. not just apartment buildings. there was also as we switch walls, there was also a u.n. school building right there. think how good this air force

had to be bombs had to have been drop at that type of precision, that long do that much damage and avoid the u.n. school. as you saw on the other shot just minor damage to the apartment buildings. here is a look on the horizon of what was happening. see how thick this is populated. see how determined they were? they thought they were safe because they thought the humanitarian end of the israeli air force would not bomb in a dense population, but they had to. but when you see some of the bombing video, you see that underneath how many munitions they must have had secondary explosions down there as they killed nasrallah and higher ups. this is devastating. and finally how much damage was done to this organization? look, he's dead. he is their nemesis. maybe arguably more detrimental to the future of israel than the ayatollah over in iran. fully sponsored by iran. in fact, iran always said we got your back. they were wrong. look at all those who are eliminated. who could be next. maybe his cousin, this has seen.

71-year-old secretary general might be over. more important people taken out. ahead of the rocket force. elite units and some of the units be the one taking on the idf. this might be the perfect time for ground invasion for them to be successful. that's a look, lawrence, at some of the damage done to the most premier terror group. >> lawrence: great job, brian, breaking it down. >> brian: back to you. >> vice presidential candidates j.d. vance and tim walz take the stage for first and only presidential debate. next guest helping vance prepare by playing the part of walz. house majority whip tom emmer joins us now. mr. leader, thank you so much for joining the program. what do we not know about walz? >> we just don't know how unpopular he is in minnesota. tim walz plays the part of this folksy ag friendly outdoors men

when you first meet him and he has got these smiles. is he likeable until you start to get to know tim walz and his policies. this is guy who in minnesota he stood by as the city of minneapolis burned tout ground. refused to call out the national guard. by the way, kamala actually went in and bailed out the rioters and those that were attacking police. he wants to give illegals free healthcare, free college, signed a bill to give them drivers licenses this year, which now we got to watch that in the voting process. >> lawrence: congressman, you made me aware of something i didn't know he lost his district, congressional district when he decided to run for governor twice. why is that? the people that know him the best said let's not give him a promotion. >> no, no. so he got elected by playing a character for a decade. again, a folksy, outdoorsman, ag friendly guy from an ag district. the second he became governor, his policies, he talks about greater minnesota as all that

out there, lawrence, is rocks and cows. he lost -- we got 87 counties. he lost 74 of them in the last gubernatorial race, his re-election. he got 37% of the vote. he lost his former congressional district not only the first time but he lost it the second time by almost 10 points. they don't like him. >> lawrence: unbelievable. another thing to get comment on ice data just come out, talking about the amount of criminals that have crossed over murderers, rapists, sexual assault, all coming across the border. 13,000 convicted of homicide. 15,000 convicted of sexual assault. and we're talking about 425,000 of non-citizens that have been convicted of a crime. the harris-walz campaign have been saying that this is just data over decades. every what do you know about it. >> these are the only ones we know, right? there are others that we probably don't know because they have left that border wide open. we have had people pouring over that border for four years,

lawrence. this is clearly a shot from inside the border patrol, inside of ice. giving information because these -- the harris-biden administration has been putting their lives at risk for four years. and, you know that the company line is, hey, there's nothing to see here. it's all good. but, in the rank and file, you got to believe that those men and women who are serving us who have families have had enough. so this information is just the tip of the iceberg. i was telling you before we started, these guys, harris and walz and biden have been stonewalling every step of the way when congress is trying to get this information. so, i think it's pretty reliable, but now where there is smoke, there is fire. >> lawrence: definitely fire. there is inside the department of ice that said enough is enough. we're going to make sure that the american people get that information. and we appreciates them for doing that congressman, thanks so much for giving us some time. good luck in the debate.

let's see if all your prep work with j.d. vance. >> he is going to do great. >> lawrence: thank you, sir. fox news alert. america's busiest ports could come to halt at midnight as talks with dock workers stall. the impact of a potential strike that could cost our economy billions. we'll go into it, next. ♪ as a prosecutor, i never asked a victim or a witness: 'are you a republican or a democrat?' the only thing i ever asked them: 'are you ok?' and that's the kind of president we need right now —
