>> lawrence: it's 8:00 a.m. on east coast, this is "fox and friends". with four weeks until the election, kamala harris struggles to answer basic questions about the border. >> policies we've been proposing are fixing a problem, not

promoting a problem. >> but numbers did quadruple. >> brian: plus, white house press secretary walking out of a briefing yesterday after being pressed by peter doocy on fema funds. he has money for people in lebanon, what does it say about his values? >> the premise of your question is misinformation, sir. ar >> ainsley: north carolina getting help from luke combs and eric church, and they will join us coming up. >> steve: big final hour of "fox and friends" and starts right now. >> brian: fox weather alert, coast bracing for hurricane milton. as it heads toward tampa. >> lawrence: milton could be

strongest storm to hit tampa in more than a century. >> steve: check in with senior meteorologist janice dean. we keep showing the cone, that cone gives approximate proach, we still don't know exactly where this is going. >> janice: right and 10-mile difference means difference in 10 to 15 foot storm surge or someone's problem. at one point it was 180 mile per hour wind, strong elf in gulf of mexico we've ever seen temperature will be influenced by this trough and weaken, but going to expand its wind field, so it will get bigger. don't focus on the category, it will still bring devastating storm surge and along the coast

is about storm surge. category of wind is how strong winds are, nothing to do with storm surge, which will be the deadliest in most vulnerable city across the u.s. depending where that center of circulation comes onshore is difference from catastrophic event for tampa bay or cata sstrophic event for someone else. right now tampa bay need to be prepared for worst storm in history. we have evacuations and fort myers upward of 10-foot storm surge, which could be devastating, as well. expecting landfall wednesday

evening, we think potentially worst case scenario for this vulnerable coast line. >> ainsley: if it hits wednesday night, when will it get to east side of florida? >> janice: thursday. inland flooding for orlando and storm surge on the other side of the coast of florida. that is something we have to watch, as well. >> steve: they are getting ready on the gulf side, i understand tampa international airport is going to close in 55 minutes from right now. >> janice: looking at the storm path, very good idea. >> lawrence: thank you. >> ainsley: so tomorrow night. >> lawrence: praying for those folks. >> brian: talk about what is going on with helene and talk about funding. we see and know for a fact that people in mountains were not at

attended to and a lot of flood insurance, they don't get it, they don't live by water and don't think it is an issue. people need aid and mayorkas says, fema is out of money, we need replenishment, showing tone d deafness, kamala harris talked about giving lebanon $167 million at same time $100 million go to storm-ravaged people of the united states. that create said controversy. how could you not have enough for hurricane season and why get it automatically and have to get congress to okay it for us. >> lawrence: put tweets back up. before we get into briefing, this started it all, she's ensuring lebanon gets 157

million. next tweet that day, today i announced $100 million to prepare i-40 in western north carolina. >> ainsley: she is giving $157 million to lebanon, total of 385 million over the last year without congress coming back, giving them that money. sean's show, taxpayer money 12 billion to ukraine, 2 billion toethiopia, 3 million to ta taliban, somolia and -- to help america. we are giving this to other people. this is a concern for people in

north carolina. you have redneck air force t there. >> lawrence: special forces guys. >> ainsley: volunteers helping because people are not seeing fema's help. peter doocy, set this up, talking to kjp, what happened? >> steve: people are frustrated. last week joe biden sent a letter to fop four people in congress and said come back and give us more money for fema. mayorkas reported last thursday, we don't have enough money if there is one more hurricane. hurricane season runs through november. had no idea major hurricane would bear down on florida today. so peter doocy took all this information about how lebanon is getting $157 million new dollars immediately and people of carolinas, no money for them? that led to this.

>> peter: issue of funding administration has money to send to lebanon without congress coming back. congress has to come back to approve money to send to people in north carolina. do i have that right? >> here is what i'm going to be very clear about. pres president and vice president had robust whole of government response to this. hundreds of millions of dollars, more than 200 million. instead people want to do disinformation, misinformation, which is dangerous. >> peter: president biden says show your budget and i show you what you value. if he has money for people in lebanon without congress having to come back, what does it say about his values there are not enough money for people in north carolina that need it. that is not misinformation. >> your premise of the question is misinformation.

way you are ask ing the questio is misinformation. money allocated to impacted area and money there to help people who need it. there are survivors who need the funding and it is there. i said we have money available to help survivors of hurricane helene and also hurricane milton. you are asking why congress need to come back and do their job, that is what you are asking me. congress need to provide extra assistant to disaster relief fund, that is what congress need to did and we will urge that. you may not want that, that is okay, that is what the president wants and the vice president wants. thanks, everybody. >> lawrence: his facial expression is all of us right now trying to figure out what was that. before we get to substance of

argument, white house pres corps has to push back, when a report erask a question they don't like, it is misinformation. they have been wrong on so many things and call it misinformation every single time. i don't think it is too much to answer why are americans be ing put last when it comes to this issue. not that we don't support other countries, comparison to 100 million in middle of a crisis and saying you got to beg congress for more money to help people of north carolina, it ticks a lot of people off. happenings >> steve: peter's point, you can't call a question you don't like disinformation. i think she referred to one of his questions as being dangerous temperature . it is a fair question, why dangerous? last friday she was made senior

advisor to joe biden. >> lawrence: great, because she's done so well as press secretary. yesterday she was defending atrocious optics of administration sending 157 million to people of lebanon while people of north carolina have to wait for congress to approve more money. what she's trying to do is confuse people. is peter asking question that is not fair? question was fair and answer was not right. >> brian: fema has unused money from super storm sandy, they hold on in case people file late. he tapped into 2025 budget to help fema now. why not tap into super storm sandy in 2012, use that, unfreeze that. >> steve: reprogram. >> ainsley: they gave 30 mill

whe ion according to research from fox brain room, 71 million to florida for helene, 5.know 7 million to north carolina, 175 to tennessee and 30 million sound like a lot from north carolina, people are not feeling it. lebanon, we approved 385 million for this year. >> lawrence: it is not just the money, fema representatives are in wrong location in north carolina. that is clear. when you have samaritan's purse doing leg work and christian organizations there and they are saying fema is there, not near where they need help. that is a problem, that is m mism mismanagement and bureaucracy in play and getting in the way of private organizations that are getting bodies out of the way.

getting people clean water. where is government providing g generators? private organizations are doing that. >> brian: fema director said because you don't see us, doesn't mean we are not there. isn't that holy spirit or jesus. >> lawrence: i will not do this with you. >> steve: i know there was a flood in the bible, i don't remember that part. >> steve: this whole question, kamala harris goes out over weekend and announcing we are sending all this money to lebanon. that is what prompted that. she's back in news and sat down with bill whitaker from cbc news yesterday and bill whitaker asked good question, he did not get good answer. we all regard border and

immigration as one of the top three. >> brian: and her weakness. >> steve: he has to ask her three times what this administration is doing and three times she doesn't answer. >> there was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across first three years of your administration, as a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from last year of president trump. was it a mistake to loosen the immigrant policies as much as you did? >> it is a long-standing problem. and solutions are at hand and from day one literally, we have been offering solutions. >> what i was asking, was it a mistake to allow that flood to happen in the first place? >> the policies that we have

been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem. >> numbers did quadruple. >> and numbers today because of what we have done, cut flow of illegal immigrant by half. >> should you have done that -- >> cut flow of fentanyl by half, but we need congress to be able to act to actually fix the problem. >> ainsley: from day one, we've been offering solutions, she said, these are her solutions, stop border wall, end remain in mexico, allow venezuelan immigrants to remain in the united states, decriminalize illegal immigrant, offer health care to illegals, hotels, food and education. this seemings to benefit illegals, not americans paying for it. >> brian: result is trump had 2.4 million cross border and she

has 8.3 and counting. >> ainsley: quadruple. >> brian: some orders are affected shg people in el salvador and -- go to central location and flown in and don't count as a border crossing. they end up in your town with your ngo and soon will end up in school. >> lawrence: they rewrite rules and claim credit, it is summertime, not a lot will cross the border, they will die. it does not address what they did on day one. to your point, they had control of congress for two years. if they wanted border legislation, they could have got it done. message sent out to people in foreign countries that america was open. we showed images of people with

biden-harris shirts and they say, don't come. people across the border heard a different message, come. >> steve: when you look at given fact, we're four weeks, four tuesdays from election day. "new york times" came up with new study and found in this new poll, the border is one of the top issues. number one issue is the economy and that helps donald trump. 42% say trump's policies help them personally. 75% of americans say the economy is fair or poor, that helps donald trump. about three quarters have cut back on groceries, donald trump is leading on the economy by two points. had been five points, now two. he leads on that. >> ainsley: hand over to carley with more headlines for us.

hello. >> >> carley: good morning, on the issue of southern border, four illegal immigrants set to be part of venezuelan street gang in custody for robbing and beating a woman in her dallas home. the men tied her up and threatened to cut off her fingers if she did not cooperate. they stole 75,000 in julry, luxury hand bags and valuables. god bless that woman. top right corner of youren s screen, a house exploding monday morning. it is going to happen right now. one person was hurt, no word on his condition. cause of the blast is under investigation. it was likely sparked by a gas leak from appliance inside that house. and tim walz response to

questions over past misstatement and whether american people can trust him. >> i think folks know who i am and know difference between someone expressing emotion, telg a story, getting a date wrong, unlike being pathological liar like donald trump. i will own up to being a knucklehead at times, but i keep my word. he was asked why he falsely said he visited hong kong during the protests. those are headlines, got to laugh that walz is facing questions on how much of a knucklehead he is and not if he is one. >> ainsley: not only lie he's been caught in. >> steve: he said kamala harris told him be more careful what to say. >> lawrence: she is last person to be saying that. >> steve: military record or china, tim, being more careful

and mindful, people are at aing attention. >> brian: like getting d-day wrong. i was there on d-day, i want there on d-d, i misspoke. tienemen square is a historic event. we don't know why he kept going to china and was china paying for it and why bring kids there. even bernie sanders doesn't understand why you honeymoon in florida with school kids. >> ainsley: former president trump praying with families of hostages still held by hamas. >> lawrence: one family who met with him yesterday join us next.

capabilities remain and hezbollah is proving that with large efts rocket barrage on haifa than any point during the war. take a look at the video. hezbollah fired 100 rockets in one hour. there is damage to homes, one person injured, israel responded with strikes. houthis launched a missile intercepted yesterday and hezbollah followed up with five rockets toward ton of the screen, they were sdreped or landed in open areas. israel's ground operation in southern lebanon continues, fourth division joined overnight, israeli jets continue to provide support. this is one of 200 ballistic

missiles fired at israel last week. they promise their response will be significant. iran foreign minister is warning against firing on iran promising iran's response will be more powerful. back to you, brian. >> brian: thanks, so many war fronts and challenges and waiting on the israeli response. praying with families of american hostages held by hamas at one of the holiest jewish sites in the world. four americans are still held in gaza, including new jersey's own eshgdon alexander. the family join us here in the studio. great to see you under terrible circumstances. what did you say to the former

president yesterday? >> i told him about edon, what kind of jersey boy he is. people that rescued in november saw edon in the tunnel and said to tell everyone he is an american citizen and tried to calm everyone down and say, you will be out soon, very fast, don't worry about it, gave us strength to know edan was strong on october 7. >> brian: he went over there just after high school to get back to israel? >> yeah, he always felt committed to israel, he loved both countries and he thought serving with idf is right thing to do and this is what they did. we were really proud of that. >> brian: you should be. first off, can you believe it

has been a year? can you put into context what this year has been like for you? >> it was a very difficult year. our family is totally broken, not a second in the day we are not thinking about edan. we are doing everything we can and meeting with all the government in u.s. and israel. we are traveling a lot and doing whatever we can to free edan and 100 hostages still in gaza. >> brian: what else could the g government be doing? >> we have access on highest level of government and we are grateful. it was result in november, we don't see movement since then. diplomacy never works until it works. it should work this time really fast. >> brian: has american

government been informing you or israeli government? >> i think it is both. both. we with communicating more with u u.s. government because we live here. we resign in new jersey. we feel like israeli government should do more and we wish to see same amount of dedication to this issue as u.s. government. >> brian: how do you get your head around protest we're seeing in new york city in support of hamas at time like this. did you think you would see this in your life? >> never. this is very difficult to see. i cannot see footage from october 7. all footage they took with

goprogo pro camera, how they done all these terrifying things. i start crying just hearing sounds and it is very scary. i don't get it, how people don't understand this is terrorist group. they terror israel on october 6, it was quiet and peaceful in israel. i was speaking with edan october 6 and everything was quiet and suddenly october 7 happened. and it is very difficult. i don't get how people can cheer for this kind of act, horrific act. this is humanitarian crisis, the hostages. still 23 nationalities inside in gaza hostages. we need to let them free. >> brian: hope to get good news soon. next day they start bombing from

>> steve: hillary clinton said the quiet part out loud calling on social media companies to moderate content before the election. >> if the platforms, whether it's facebook or twitter x or instagram or tiktok, whatever they are, if they don't moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control and it's not just the social and psychological effects, it is real harm. >> steve: michael, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: why would you hillary clinton say that, we have to get control of this stuff or we're going to lose everything? >> it's an amazing revolutionary quote saying we'll lose total control. let's keep in mind the whole point of the first amendment is to prevent anybody from having total control. the beauty of free speech is

that we're all allowed to give voice to our views and opinions. that's been the tradition since 1789 when we created our constitution. so the remark is just what you said. she is revealing really where many people sadly on the left, many democrats stand. if it were just hillary clinton, if it were just an off hand remark i wouldn't be so concerned. but it came one week after former secretary of state john kerry, two weeks before bill gates, the world's most influential planner all raised concerns criticizing the first amendment. so it starts to look like a pattern. you have to wonder have they got something planned in case kamala harris wins? >> steve: great point. speaking of the first amendment there was a question asked in the briefing room yesterday actually a series of questions from peter doocy, our white house correspondent, and they had to do with the fact that the announcements over the weekend

they're sending $157 million to lebanon immediately to help over there. in the meantime, to help the people in the carolinas, there is not enough money. congress has got to come back and they will have to haggle over that. listen to this and listen to what the white house said. >> the president and vice president has had a robust, whole of government response to this. hundreds of millions of dollars. i said it at the top, more than $2 hundred million. instead people want to do disinformation and misinformation which is dangerous. >> steve: it seems like he hit the nail on the end at the end. any time there is a question they don't like they call it disinformation. >> that's right, including when you are simply providing useful context and then it goes the other way. if you don't provide context then they say it is

misinformation. it is really is itself a form of misand disinformation labeling things that and pre-text to censorship. they want small committees of people they create to decide what is true or false and want to give that power to news outlets that they fund and favor. so i think this trend is very concerning. like i said if it were just one or two people but some of the most powerful people in the world demanding the right to decide what they are allowed to say and hear online. >> steve: thank you for joining us live from texas. >> thanks for having me. >> steve: tonight at 5:00 eastern time join melania trump with the panel. thank you very much for joining us today on "fox & friends." it is 9:00 in the east and here now "america's newsroom" >> bill: good morning, everybody. bracing for impact and for good
