[cheering and applause] >> speaker-01: good evening, 11:00 p.m. on the east coast, 8:00 in los angeles and this is

america's late news, "fox news @ night". breaking tonight, 35 minutes until daylight in israel, a live look as the idf is vowing to respond to iran's major missile attack on tuesday. israel says the response will be robust. the biden administration is pushing for something lighter. our correspondence on the ground will bring you any news across the hour. meantime... you say trust the experts. they have phds but they don't have common sense. this has to stop and we are not going to stop it by listening to experts. we are going to stop it by listening to common sense wisdom. >> we have to get rid of that. stop listening to the economists and start listening to common sense. >> trace: j.d. vance back on the campaign trail after his star continue rising in the wake of last night's debate keep leading the new coalition in bringing back common sense conservatism. >> the debate moderator attempted to fact-check me.

she says what is your evidence that illegal immigration promotes and increases housing cost increase and i said first of all common sense. every democrat who's watching at home, every democrat who's in this room, you are more than welcome in donald trump's republican party where the party -- we are the party of common sense. >> trace: he must mean the common sense department. we should sent him a mug. meantime it was cleanup on nile tim walz today after a few detrimental mistakes last night. >> i've become friends with school shooters. i've seen it. >> can you clarify what you said about school shooters? >> i need to be more specific on that. all i said was like out there that summer and misspoke on this so i will just, that's what i've said. >> can you clarify? >> look, i had my dates wrong. >> trace: senior national correspondent kevin corke live in d.c. with new information on this. >> reporter: sent him a mug.

do that stat. i love that idea. it evening my friend. it's not often that you get consensus in politics but media reaction to last night's vice presidential candidate debate was almost unanimous in it's assessment of the winner. "politico" for example called it a very midwestern debate and vance won. the guardian said trump aids believe a polished j.d. vance made the campaign more palatable. even the liberal "new york times" admitted, who won the debate? a crisp vance. for his part, the ohio g.o.p. senator's barred with the democratic governor for minnesota, often disagreeing without being disagreeable. and the consensus afterwards was yep, it worked. >> j.d. vance is a much more experienced public speaker, at pivoting. >> i think there was a clear lack of preparation and

execution. >> i think the lack of interviews he's done with national media, with local media, it showed. >> reporter: it showed. meantime walz's performance panned as uneven at best. compared it to biden's initial debate on cnn. vance on the other hand seemed to score very well with nearly every single snap poll and focus group after the debate. and perhaps the "politico" put it best saying the democrats are fortunate presidential debates tend to matter a lot more than vp debates. truer words perhaps never spoken, trace. >> trace: kevin corke live in d.c., thank you. let's bring in former l.a. g.o.p. vice chair, daily wire actor along with fox news political analyst. thank you for coming on. i want to play this and then get your response. this is a key exchange last night on abortion and minnesota. watch.

>> the statue you signed into law says that a doctor who presides over an abortion where the baby survives, the doctor is under no obligation to provide life-saving care to a baby who survives a botched late-term abortion. >> trace: it is true and that's the thing here. we can quickly put it up. tim walz should know this. he should know that, you know, that the law changed under him as a governor. what do you think about that answer? >> it's not that he should know. he did know but he lied to the american people just like he's made numerous other statements and has lied to the american people over and over again. i think what j.d. vance last night is -- did is put on a master class. a refute with their democrats and their allies right before their face. fact-checking him, ensuring the facts are there, to the point that even the liberal media had to say i guess he really did do

it and he made what they call trump is more palatable. but there is so much more to expose with these guys and i think j.d. vance is the guy to do it. >> trace: interesting because you talk about abortion. i want to put the power rankings up on the screen if we can. you look at the top two issues, immigration and the economy, president trump up by 11 on immigration, plus nine on the economy. kamala harris up by 17 on abortion. the question everybody is asking, is abortion enough? otherwise she's in deep trouble. >> i think this goes back to the late great ronald reagan. it's the economy, stupid. right now we have two individuals over there who seem a little lower on the intellectual level as people like donald trump and j.d. vance. what vance did is show the

embodiment of better political representation as opposed to a career politician. so it's something where he had a mission, he went out and showed that what trump and maga is about is not dangerous for our country. he sold it perfectly. tim walz looked like a deer in the headlights. i would be afraid of those two are answering a call at 3:00 a.m., walz and kamala. i'm glad to see what j.d. did. >> trace: i found this poll interesting because they normally lean a little left. this is georgia and north carolina. you can see in georgia it's got the former president up by five in north carolina literally a dead heat. the former president up by one. but it's a shift. when you are talking about political polling organizations that tend to lean a little bit left, a shift to the right is significant. >> yeah but this is exactly why the working-class and the middle class has been what the trump organization or campaign has been focusing on.

i think it's especially important to note that folks who are suffering the most under joe biden and kamala harris' policies, when you talk about immigration, inflation, the economy, is the working-class and the middle class which are represented well in those particular areas. the fact that donald trump has been doing direct outreach to those groups, going to brooklyn and other places where republicans don't normally go, it's making an impact. >> trace: i want to put this up because we have about 30 seconds left but "the new york times" rights, talking about kamala harris, she barely mentions the president's name in her campaign speeches and makes a middle class pitch that aims to correct for inflation and high prices voters blame on mr. biden's economic stewardship. the scenes of striking workers, hurricane devastation and missiles over israel are unwelcome complications to her case to keep democrats in power. it's a triple whammy. the question is, how much damage does it do?

about 15 seconds. >> it does a tremendous amount of damage there. i think that people are getting it. they are going to believe what's going on around them regardless of what msn and the biden-harris campaign try to lie to us about. so this is something that people are feeling and they are not falling for it. j.d. vance did such a great job of saying come on in, the water is fine. >> trace: it's great. thank you both. meantime president biden and vice president harris finally visited hurricane affected areas today but the democratic presidential nominee keeps ignoring reporter questions again and again even in the face of three major crises that may very well define the closing weeks of the presidential race. chanley painter is live in new york with that story. good evening. >> reporter: good evening. today several days after hurricane helene main landfall, president biden and vice president kamala harris made separate visits to storm ravaged areas.

biden on the ground and the carolinas while harris made a stop in georgia. >> the president and i have been paying close attention from the beginning to what we need to do to make sure the federal resources hit the ground as quickly as possible. >> reporter: harris seemingly responding to criticism surrounding the timeliness of their visits to the southeast after former president trump two days ago attack to the harris administration's response as he delivered trucks of relief aid in georgia monday. harris is also facing some backlash for still avoiding reporter questions amid not only historic storm distraction but also massive escalations in the middle east and a port strike threatening economic chaos. [simultaneous talking] >> reporter: biden will be in georgia thursday while harris plans to visit north carolina in the coming days, both states key

battlegrounds where as you mentioned trump is currently ahead in georgia 50-45% while showing a slim margin of 49-48% in north carolina. the biden administration also making clear they plan to their storm visit so as to prevent any hampering of rescue or relief efforts. >> trace: chanley painter live in new york, thank you. ♪ ♪ the "fox news @ night" common sense department called out "the new york times" this week for calling kamala harris the only patriotic presidential candidate. and it's nonsensical op-ed the times did not really argue why kamala is the most patriotic. instead the argument, as always, is that trump is not patriotic. which it also did not explain and which common sense finds amusing because an interview has surfaced from 2016 when kamala harris was running for u.s. senate in california where she was asked about a big

controversy at the time, athletes not standing during "the star-spangled banner". the question was very straightforward. "should folks stand for the national anthem? ." you would think the only patriotic candidate would quickly answer yes, but harris chose then, like she chooses now, which is to not answer. instead offered up 65 words that look like they all came out of a ball game. then she ended her response by saying "i will defend it to the core, which is that we give people certain choices in this country." common sense would remind you the question was simply should folks stand, yes or no? not do they have a right to stand or sit or kneel. common sense things most patriots would likely consider kamala stage to be a glaring omission. -- kamala's dodge -- let's bring in amber duke and beverly

hallberg. thank you for coming on. we appreciate it. here's part of kamala's pointy 16 national anthem answer and we will let you answer. watch. >> should folks stand for the national anthem? >> we should be treated as equals. we articulated those principles in our constitution and part of what we decided is what makes a fair and just and noble society and a democracy, a trudeau mocker sea is freedom of religion, freedom of association, freedom to organize, first amendment. >> trace: i watched it four times and i still don't know what she's saying but the question was not do you have a right to kneel or stand or clap or, you know, drink a soda during the national anthem, it was should you stand. what do you think? >> it's the longest answer i think i've heard to a "yes" or "no" question. it's her word salad once again and look i think her intent, this is what she should have

said,'s yes, you should stand, but we do have a right in this country not to. but that's not what she did. what kamala harris continues to do is try to get away from answering any clear question. she does not want to give declarative statements. it's always us being left was trying to figure out what exactly she's trying to say and why is somebody who is running for the presidency not willing to make a statement that yes, you should stand for the national anthem? it's not a hard question but she makes most questions pretty difficult. >> trace: here's some north carolina residents and i will get your response. watch. >> there's no power, no water, there's no internet, there's no cell phone coverage. we are just in a disaster. >> pray for everybody here. everything is replaceable, life is not. >> no water, barely have food. everything expiring in the fridge. >> pima is not on the ground there at all. they are not in these cities. not in these towns and not in these villages.

>> trace: these people are grateful for elon musk trying to bring in some of these internet stations, but the government, not so much, amber. >> there's been a complete abdication of leadership when it comes to the response to this storm. when president joe biden was laying on the beach before finally going back to the white house on sunday night and explaining away his absence by saying, hey, guys don't worry about it, there's such thing as phones while kamala harris was campaigning in las vegas and similarly did not return to the white house until monday when donald trump was already on the ground in georgia. these two did not even receive an in-person briefing on what had happened before the candidate that kamala harris is running against was able to go and offer these people hope and leadership. >> trace: i want to put this up. political rights this about the debate and i think it's fascinating, for weeks vance has been participating in a series of interviews often informs that were less than hospitable.

the democrats campaign chose a different path for walz as well as his running mate, essentially avoiding tough environments and it showed. beverly, the very same people who said they don't need to give interviews, the media are now saying they should have given more interviews, he would have better practice. >> being able to handle interviews well is a skill set, it's something that must be honed and something republicans are very good at because they are ask hard questions by the press on a regular basis. tim walz is similar to somebody who plays slow pitch softball. all of a sudden having to go and play in a major league baseball playoff game. that is the type of thing he's up against when he's not used to these tough questions. this is wear liberal journalists do not do themselves any favors when they actually don't hold people's feet to the fire. >> trace: i have to go but "politico" also says that vance -- vance his beard is a sign of aggression to women and walz saucer eyes shows passion. 15 seconds. >> that's how you know that tim

walz got absolutely beaten by vance because they had to worry about body language and esthetics. >> trace: it's crazy. emperor, beverly, thank you both. california governor gavin newsom facing new criticism over the lost jobs resulting from his fast food minimum wage hike and a new law he just signed that bands voter i.d. requirements right here in california. christina coleman is live with the new information on this. good evening. >> reporter: good evening trace, governor gavin newsom signed a bill into law banning local voter identification requirements at the polls. the move got swift backlash. elon musk wrote on x, wow, it's now illegal to require voter i.d. in california. they just made preventing voter fraud against the law. the joker is in charge. newsom signed the bill into law in response to a ballot initiative in the city of huntington beach that required voters to show i.d. in municipal elections. california's attorney general and secretary of state claimed it would suppress and disenfranchised voters, but

supporters say requiring i.d. to vote in elections is actually a good thing. take a look at this, there was a full-page add in "usa today" blasting governor newsom over the states fast food minimum wage hike to $20 an hour. the california business and industrial alliance ran the add today. they say fast food jobs took a nosedive, dropping from just over 742,000 in january to nearly 737,000 in august, citing the u.s. euro of labor statistics. in addition to thousands of jobs lost, the wage hike forced some restaurant owners to reduce work hours for employees and increase the fast food prices. the add says its time for the governor to "wake up" and it accuses him and his media team up denying reality saying small business owners are struggling. >> trace: and the governor's office has been on the phone with us now for a long time disputing miss. thank you, that's bring in california business and industrial alliance president and california g.o.p.

delegate. before we get to the full-page add i want to bring this up to roxanne because elon musk really did take a swing at gavin newsom today. foxnews.com headline reads, elon musk compares newsom to the joker after voter i.d. requirements banned in california. i mean he's right, he says it's against the law now and california to prevent voter fraud and unbelievably, he's correct. >> he has been a christian bale want to be for a long time so let's get that out of the way. but i became a u.s. citizen in the year 2000 and when i went to vote for the first time, i proudly took out my i.d. at the polling place and you would have thought i had pulled out a pistol. they were aghast. no, put that away, you can't, which is insane to me. you should be who you say you are in order to vote. >> trace: you would think. you can't do anything without an i.d. tom this is for you of course because this is the group. "usa today", the full-page ad,

742,000 fast food jobs in january 2024, 736861 in august of 2024. that is the raising it from 1 16-$20 and now the newsom team has been messaging us saying this is wrong, it's wrong, it's misinterpreted. what do you say? >> they continue to attack us. we ran a full-page add two months ago and we cited a survey that was done from the hoover institute and they said 10,000 jobs were lost. then the newsom administration attacked us immediately saying wait a minute, these numbers are all wrong. they said well it should be seasonal -- seasonally adjusted, we should start from the month and adjusted from then so they continue to attack our trade association. we represent small to medium-sized businesses and now we are saying these numbers just came out and there's thousands more than 6000 jobs that are lost. >> trace: we've said several times, not to kick roxanne out, but if newsom wants to debate,

we will slide roxanne over and he gets it right there and we will all talk about it right here on "fox news at night". gavin newsom tweeted, "real donald trump economic plan would cost american families an additional $4000. it's not a plan, just a tax." our friend shot back with "gavin newsom, your economic policies have already caused californian families an additional 10,000 or more in higher energy and housing and other costs so sit this one out." good advice. >> very good advice and he's absolutely right. i'm really happy to see the governor all of a sudden cares about the high cost of living in california. perhaps he could do something like repeal the gas tax like california republicans suggested he do in order to give us a break. >> trace: flash mobs, we have the video, i want to play this if i can because flash mobs have become a problem. but now our fox affiliate in los angeles says the following, flash mob kids busted by their own parents in 7-eleven

robberies. the l.a.p.d. and hollywood parents may difficult decision to turn their own children in to the l.a.p.d. after discovering their involvement in a series of disruptive flash mob robberies at 7-eleven stores, receiving widespread praise. i know you are looking around for small businesses, these parents have to be applauded because these things happen all the time. >> it's nonstop. small business owners are assaulted constantly, they are attacked constantly. not only by people breaking in their stores or their restaurants but the legislature. we have an 1100 paid labor law that we need to follow and they keep stacking more and more regulations, more and more laws. now you add this $20 an hour minimum wage hike to the fast food chains and they are already looking for a race. they already want to raise next year. 3.5%. so it makes it very difficult and people don't understand. just because you have mcdonald's on the front of your story does not mean you are a billion-dollar corporation.

these are owners, franchisees. they own five, ten stores, they are mom-and-pop shops. >> trace: tom, roxanne, standby. we have breaking news, some life looks right now in beirut, lebanon where there's apparently some smoke. we don't know if there has been more activity but it appears there has been from israel. israel has gone in a couple of times today. we are going to bring you more on the other side of the break but right there a live look, 6:22 a.m. in beirut, lebanon and it appears there have been more idf strikes. the latest on that as it comes in. the latest rescue and recovery efforts after hurricane helene, we will talk with a pastor on the ground in north carolina about his church and how they are helping. and in the nightcap, kamala refusing to answer whether athletes should stand for the national anthem. is she the most patriotic? tell us. (man) these men of means with their silver spoons. what will become of them when they discover robinhood gold allows others to earn

their very liberal rates on idle cash. they would descend into chaos.

alright, we got your home and auto bundled and you saved hundreds. oh, that's nice, with the economy and all. what's the economy? [chuckling] where do we start?

what isn't the economy? yes. [ laughter ] uh, it's -- it's so many thing. right. look, all you really need to know is that progressive can save you money without sacrificing quality coverage. you follow? i'll just look it up. hmm. that went well. but st. jude has gotten us through it. st. jude is hope for every child diagnosed with cancer because the research is being shared all over the world.

>> trace: back to the breaking news in the middle east and a live look at beirut. 6:28 thursday morning in israel and in beirut the conflict escalating once more with new explosions in southern lebanon in the past few hours. israel now conducting a precise air strike on beirut. three missiles also hit the very same beirut suburb where hezbollah leader was killed last week. "fox news at night" will continue updating you on what's happening on the ground. at least 180 people have been killed and hundreds more are missing as authorities in florida, georgia and north carolina try to calculate the devastating impact of hurricane helene. senior correspondent steve harrigan is in north carolina tonight. >> this was a brick building and it just pancaked. >> reporter: residents of

western north carolina survey what's left of their homes and businesses after one of the deadliest and costliest hurricanes to hit the u.s. >> devastation. a big old bomb went through here. >> reporter: search teams and dogs trudged do the mod looking for hundreds still unaccounted for as the death toll steadily rises from helene. [siren wails] >> reporter: in the close-knit mountain communities, each losses felt deeply, including the death of a long time food line cashier who died trying to save her mother. >> they unfortunately found her a few miles away from her house, swept away, still clutching her mother. they were not recovered alive. >> it's all gone. >> reporter: many are counting their blessings, including one couple who narrowly avoided being swept away by a mudslide while driving through the blue ridge mountains. president biden saw the damage today, flying over some of the hardest hit areas and meeting with first responders.

>> i'm here to say that the united states, the nation has your back. >> reporter: the pentagon says it will send in 1000 active-duty soldiers to deliver critical aid. with so many still without running water, power and self-service. >> we need so much help, we don't want to be forgotten. >> reporter: vice president harris promised more help is on the way while visiting georgia. >> the coordination that we have dedicated ourselves to will be long-lasting, to get families, to get residents, neighborhoods back up and running. >> reporter: the death toll here has climbed to more than 180. people who live here say they expect that noah lebar will keep going up. >> trace: steve, thank you. let's bring in fox news medical contributor and biltmore church lead pastor. thank you for coming on. we should point out that the reason we are talking with the pastor right now is because of elon musk's star link. we hooked up to that and that's why we are able to bring him live because self-service in the area is bad.

pastor, thank you for coming on. i know you are very busy. what's it like right now and are you getting what you need, you and your neighbors? >> the need is so great, it's hard to say that we've got always need. they need is tremendous, there's a lot of resources that have come in from around the nation, people are stepping up. but the need is so great. fuel is getting a little bit better, cell coverage is very spotty, as you mentioned. power is very spotty. the energy companies are trying hard but it's i guess day five or six now since the storm and there's a long way to go. >> trace: long way to go. dr., i know you have traveled the world with samaritan's purse. going and helping people in need including ukraine, we've had you on the show from there. do you expect to be called in to help the people in these devastated areas sometime in the

next few days? >> yes, if there is a need for medical care, absolutely i will be down there at weather it's in north carolina, georgia or any of the other areas that were hit. but you are absolutely right, i blood medical missions around the world and i can tell you it's an extremely trauma time it -- traumatizing event. physically, mentally and emotionally. one thing i've seen with my patients is the fact that most of the injuries and illnesses that occur happen after a natural disaster. we tend to see injuries, upper respiratory tract infections, asthma, exacerbations from mold exposure. we have to be careful with the floodwater because it's contaminated with sewage, with waste products and other types of debris like nails and sharp objects and glass. we see a lot of gi, bugs, lose, and a lot of skin ulcers and erosions and infections. there's a lot of moving parts, it's a very dangerous event and

i pray for the people that have been impacted by this event and also for the pastor. >> trace: i want to play some sound. here's a victim of helene that said this... >> we are not getting the amount of support that we need right now. there are way more people impacted, we more people mis missing, definitely unfortunately way more people that are going to be found dead in the coming days, as far as i believe. >> trace: pastor, what do you say to the people in your community, your church that are saying listen, we are not getting the help we need, what do you tell them? >> well, you know, we say every day or at the end of every service, when we leave service, you are loved by god, sent by god into the community so there are some things we can't control. we can't control what folks do. what we can control is how do we love our neighbor, how do we

serve our neighbors like served us. one of the things we've done, and we've had people come up here who themselves are dehydrated and they are wanting to serve people, they are taking -- we are getting water from all over the country and distributing it out. when you go out there, the people are typically so very gracious. i was listening to the doctor a few minutes ago and i'm sure she will be definitely needed here. yesterday i was out in one community and you had the kids, they were drinking out of the creek water there. so as quick as we can get the fresh water and those kinds of things the better. >> trace: we keep hearing about these areas, we are looking at the pictures, dr., running a little low on time but it's interesting because they are saying the first responders are the local residents because you can't get a lot of outside people in because the damages so bad. >> absolutely. the damage and the debris. there are a lot of power lines that are down, you can get electrocuted. you have to make sure the area

is safe for the first responders, for the health care workers and also for the residents. i think right now the most important thing is check on your neighbor, avoid the contaminated water, watch what you are eating and drinking. we say if you can't watch it, toss it. if you are taking any medication, make sure they are in a safe place so they are waterproof in a plastic bag and then go from there and hopefully seek help if you've been injured. you might knead antibiotics, you might need your tetanus shot so seek help as soon as possible. >> trace: good advice. dr., pastor, best of luck to both of you and thank you for coming on. coming up, the world on edge as we await israel's response to iran after their ballistic missile attack. the payback could come at any moment. we will have the latest on that, next. 8:35 on the west coast, trip across america, a first live look at honolulu, hawaii, the only u.s. state with two official languages, english and

>> trace: a live look, 6:41 a.m. in beirut, lebanon. these are live pictures. the smoke you are seeing is from what israel calls percent strikes in the suburbs of beirut -- precise strikes -- this is the same area that the hezbollah leader was killed just days ago. you can kind of hear that in the background. we are clear what that is but as you look at these pictures keep in mind a lot of the focus is away from here on iran to see what israel's response against iran will be. they say it will be robust. the biden administration is

trying to convince them to make it less robust. we are now hearing that six people have been killed by these strikes in beirut, lebanon. [speaking another language] >> interpreter: iran made a big mistake tonight and it will pay for it. we will stand by the role we established. whoever attacks us, we will attack them. [end of interpretation] >> trace: let's bring in former navy seal who trained with the idf cameron hamilton and black hawk helicopter captain. thank you for coming on. colonel, to you first. you heard benjamin netanyahu there. there is some word in the middle east that it appears that benjamin netanyahu has regained the confidence of the israeli people. do you think that's a fair assessment? >> i would hope so. he's been extremely effective along with the rest of his forces at largely decapitating the leadership of hezbollah. not only the top leader but about four levels down. when you do that, you make

everybody else think twice. and you really make them not able to function, you make them ineffective as a force. between that and the fact that hamas has largely been eradicated and have also been made ineffective, there's no reason to doubt netanyahu and his leadership at this point, that they will get done what they say they will. >> trace: meantime president biden said this about >> [inaudible question by the media] >> the answer is no. i think there are things that we will be discussing with the israelis, what they are going to do. but all of us agree that they have a right to respond. >> trace: the administration following this pattern. they've been trying to stop this war for a long time and israel is trying to win this war so they appear to be at loggerheads. >> they absolutely do.

thank you for having me again. i think what israel is focused on is simply ensuring that this attack that happened on october seventh does not occur again. they've already been bombarding a lot of southern lebanon to take out there missile infrastructure as well as to take out key personnel who are missile specialists. we saw that lebanon recently has launched a couple counter missiles which midst their targets and killed a few christian families in southern lebanon. i would expect things like this to continue because israel has been extremely effective in taking out some of the networks and some of the key officials who are engaging in large-scale fighting and preparing for eventual war with israel. >> trace: it's interesting colonel because you have president biden saying they should not go after iran's nuclear sites. what should they go after and can they go after enough sites inside iran, tehran, to may be cause some civil unrest among the people there? >> well i would not rule out the nuclear capacity of iran's and

israel's need to target them. whether it is coming in a week or weather they will get it in a couple years, either way iran needs to not be able to do that. i also would make sure that they target some of the oil infrastructure because that's where they get the money to pay for all of this. i would also make sure that the leadership in iran knows that it will never get any rest because of what they've already done against hezbollah and hamas. i think they can do those three things and keep being equally effective as they've been up to this point. >> trace: very quickly cameron, the hill writes the following, the widening of the conflict into lebanon marks an historic act of defiance from netanyahu and risks stoking in a dense regional conflict, a point on stunning display tuesday when iran fired someone hundred 80 ballistic missiles at israel. i mean it seems to me like defiance from netanyahu, what about hezbollah, what about hamas, what about iran, what about the defiance from them, cameron, 35 seconds.

>> exactly. bad policy has consequences and we are seeing it on display right now in realtime. this is exactly what was expected when we loosen sanctions against the iranian people, freeing up so much assets. what does iran to? of course they engage in commerce but they also procure weapons, resources and military supplies to further their effort, expand their proxies and their influence in attacking israel. what we are seeing now is a byproduct of failed foreign policy and we should not call it anything other than that. >> trace: yes. cameron, lieutenant, colonel, thank you, we appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me. >> trace: kamala harris seems to have a pretty unpatriotic passed for someone "the new york times" is calling the patriotic president. so what do you think, is kamala harris the patriotic choice for president? yes, no, why? let us know, x and instagram @tracegallagher, we will red your responses coming up next in the nightcap to duckduckgo on all your devie

2016 pages three days ago "the new york times" endorsed harris as the only patriotic president. do you think she is the patriotic choice for president? >> i find it rich that "the new york times" is talking about patriotic. no she's not. with having the tie-breaking vote for those two disastrous bills, to sky rocket inflation, that's coming at your kids. >> trace: amber. >> if this is what a patriotic president does to the country, i loath to think about what a nonpatriotic president would do. but to that point about "the new york times", do they not have someone on staff who said that she was afraid to see people flying american flags on the back of their pickup trucks? >> trace: that's a fact-check i'm not even going to -- kevin, you want to fact-check that for us? >> listen, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. the times can call her what they would like but if that is your
