releasing violent criminals from jail. but it also means an agenda when it comes to our kids. allred has voted for boys competing against girls sports. he voted for boys being allowed into girls restrooms, into locker rooms and changing rooms. >> allred chose not to do a sit-down with me. his campaign sent a statement saying ted cruz is more vulnerable than ever and his desperation shows. cruz has been in washington for 12 years. refuses to secure the border, is responsible for the extreme abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest or the mother as health. according to enjoys perthes i spoke to, this is the closest race republicans are defending. for national democrats, ted cruz is seen as the most vulnerable republican. >> texas could provide democrats with that senate seat they need to make up for the one that they are likely to lose in montana.

>> and both campaigns are trading some really harsh words this morning. allred's campaign telling me this november will be ted cruz's accountability. ted cruz tells me we're one vote away from utter disaster. bill. >> bill: we'll see how it goes. brooke, thank you in dallas, one to watch. thanks. >> dana: fox news alert. the race to the white house is getting tighter and the candidates are putting a laser focus on undecided voters in a key toss-up state with 21 days until election day. some early voting is already underway. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." we've been underway, i'm dana perino and who are you? >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. we have seven battleground states. the key to victory now. new fox news power rankings forecasting the race is a toss-up. everything you see in yellow there is the ones to watch on

election night. in the crucial homestretch, however, vp harris agreeing to a sit-down interview with bret baier on the fox news channel. >> if these polls hadn't tightened would kamala harris be doing an interview with fox right now? >> we enjoy coming on your air. you will get to hear from the vice president tomorrow night about her vision for the country and what she is looking forward to presenting to fox news viewers. >> what took so long? >> better late than never. >> dana: a quick answer there. this week the harris campaign focusing on three must win blue wall states, pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan as she tries to shore up her coalition. >> bill: bret baier will do the must-see interview. mark meredith reports on the trail in pittsburgh today. good morning, mark. >> good morning to you both. vice president harris is stepping up public appearances in the final stretch of the campaign. overnight she was rallying

supporters in erie county, pennsylvania. the democrats flipped it last cycle. she made it clear trump is using dangerous rhetoric that should be a warning to voters in the keystone state. >> he is talking about that he considers anyone who doesn't support him or who will not bend to his will an enemy of our country. [booing] >> it's a serious issue. >> harris is in detroit today participating in a radio town hall with charlamagne tha god. the campaign is trying to win back any black voters that may be considering voting for trump. in michigan they're struggling to win over some arab americans. the headline from "politico" is that the political committee of arab americans based in michigan is not going to endorse harris or trump for president. the first time the group has

withheld supporting a candidate since it was founded more than 20 years ago. overnight trump held a town hall in the philly suburbs. the event generating bad press after multiple people fainted and trump also played d.j. for more than 30 minutes. he also still took time to accuse democrats of election meddling. >> when they talk about a threat to democracy, how about where they take a candidate who won fair and square, they throw him out and put up a woman who failed, was the first one to drop out of a field of 22, and got no votes? >> trump is back in battleground georgia today. he has an event in the atlanta suburbs with early voting getting underway. harris will be back in pennsylvania tomorrow. >> bill: we have moved michigan to a toss-up. it was a big move on our power rankings. mark meredith in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. >> dana: top-up is yellow. more on this special report anchor bret baier. this morning i was listening to

podcast of the "new york times" and they choose three or four stories to highlight in the morning. your interview with kamala harris is one of those three. this is big news to everybody. people are getting a lot of -- there is a lot of interest in it. i'm curious if you could walk us through. how did it come together and how much time do you get with her? >> good morning. you listen to a lot of those podcasts. >> it took a long time. i've asked, a lot of us have asked for interviews. i was also asking about a debate that we were trying to have, a final closing arguments. the campaign came back and said she was going to have this event in philadelphia and i could have a sit-down. so the time is roughly 25 minutes, 25 to 30 minutes. we were trying to do it live but they gave us the time 5:00 p.m. eastern time. my show starts at 6:00.

we're doing it pre-tape but wanted to wait until we got the commercial structure. now we do thanks to the folks above. we will run it uninterrupted and unedited all the way maybe 30 minutes. the first part of special report and then we'll have a panel discussion about it afterwards. so that's how it came about. a long time in the making. i'm in the making of how it will be structured. >> bill: curious to know how she got to yes. before i let you answer that i want to read this headlines from "the new york times" today. it is what we woke up to. harris's final challenge defections from black and latino voters with making kamala harris more dependent on white suburban voters and complicating her path to victory. so why would she see this massive audience as an opportunity or who does she see in that audience? >> well, i just think that you are right, we have a lot of

eyeballs. we have democrats, independents and republicans. we have the biggest cable news audience. and this -- probably it will get a lot more eyeballs. i think tough but fair is what i pitched it as. that's what they will see. if you can think of the issues that people care about, that they answer to pollsters what they care about, those questions will be in the mix. and some things that perhaps haven't been asked in other interviews. there is time. 30 minutes is enough time to press and follow up and i think we'll go down a number of different roads. that event outside of philadelphia is a republicans supporting harris. so i think she is using that event to kind of make a point before the interview. >> dana: david plouffe was with obama and now kamala harris campaign told "new york magazine" this is going to be close and this one may be close in more states than we've seen

in a long time. we have six, seven states come down to a point, point and a half. call for number five and that's probably where this is headed. then if you just look at the fox news power rankings forecast map we put michigan as a toss-up. that had been lean democrat. then you look at these abc and nbc polls with harris 50-48 and 48-48. i heard it described as it is tied and getting closer. >> yeah, exactly. and if you believe these polls and there is a slough of them, it is all within the margin of error and comes down to those seven states. in the final three weeks it is hard to believe we're three weeks from the day. any little thing that moves the needle any bit could be a factor. so these events are big things. harris's town hall with the former president will be a big thing tomorrow. and we've invited the former president for the same format of this interview uninterrupted 30 minutes and we'll see if he

takes us up on it before the election. >> bill: maybe harris wednesday and trump thursday. that would be a good week. >> dana: you want it to be live at 5:00 i'm sure we could accommodate on "the five." >> bill: a little round table question? >> dana: why not, let's go. >> i would be fearful of greg. >> dana: never fear the greg. >> bill: talk to you soon, thanks. consumer concerns firmly in the spotlight three weeks until the big day. new polling shows that former president trump holding an edge on the key issue of the economy. edward lawrence is live at the white house now. how will it play out? good morning. >> good morning, bill. the economy again. that number one issue. now consumers are still seeing prices are 20% higher since the month that president biden and vice president kamala harris came into office. we're also seeing credit card delinquency rates rising at the highest level since the fourth quarter of 2011. that's what the federal reserve

looks at for possible weakness in this economy. in fact, j.p. morgan set aside more money to cover the loans. americans have a record number of credit card debt as spending is strong. most of it on credit cards. it all plays into the election. >> donald trump was president, wages adjusted for inflation maceively up. people could buy homes and save. people could pass and start to build wealth to pass on to the next generation. that was the trump economy. >> others see the economy another way. companies able to handle the higher prices and consumers buying enough even though costs are starting to change buying habits. >> tech, financials, consumer staples very strong through. inflation is dropping. prices are dropping. good operating environment for people who are in business to make money these days. >> the fact is banks are cashing

out for possible loan defaults. a wave of that. even though we see the three banks reporting earnings this morning beat estimates going in which shows that maybe the economy is holding up even in the face of higher interest rates. again, you have different sides, different comments. >> bill: nice to see you. more on your money coming up with you fox business from the north lawn. thanks. >> [bleep], [bleep], [bleep], [bleep], [bleep], [bleep], [bleep]. >> bill: why. >> dana: chaos at the heart of the u.s. financial system. they storm the new york stock exchange. the mob didn't get away with it. >> i don't agree with this. i'm not going to hate on what you choose to do with your life personally but in volleyball i just can't stand for that. >> fight for fairness in women's sports gaining steam. some female volleyball players

is saying enough is enough in there sport. >> dana: the world watching for israel's retaliation against iran. netanyahu reportedly telling president biden the targets that are on and off the list. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100 percent of your home■s value. if you need cash for your family call newdayusa. with automatic authority from the va we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call. here's why you should switch fo to duckduckgo on all your devie duckduckgo comes with a built-n engine, like google, but it's r and doesn't spy on your searchs and duckduckgo lets you browsel but it blocks cookies and creepy ads that follow youa and other companies.

[shouting and chanting] >> bill: you have more than 200 anti-isly protestors under arrest after they stormed the new york stock exchange on monday staging a sit inoutside the landmark. demonstrators flooded the area and change themselves to the doors just minutes before the stock market's opening bell. as you know by now trading did

proceed as scheduled. in the meantime you've got a fifth women's volleyball team forefitting its match against a university. we have the story. >> good morning. nevada school officials say this game on october 26th will go on as scheduled but the players say they won't show up. >> university of nevada reno's women's volleyball team is the fifth to forfeit a match against san jose state. a roster includes a player named blair fleming. according to a lawsuit against the ncaa, fleming is a male. what is more the lawsuit alleges school officials told the players to, quote, not speak about fleming's sex or gender identity with anyone outside the team. that didn't sit well with fleming's roommate and team co-captain who has joined that federal lawsuit to protect women in sports.

she says fleming's spikes are so powerful they could seriously injure other players and she says it isn't fair for a biological man to take a scholarship spot away from a female athlete. >> i was honest with blair from day one. i don't agree with this. i won't hate on what you choose to do with your life personally but in volleyball, i just can't stand for that. >> in a statement san jose state said it is committed to helping all student athletes participate in an inclusive, fair and respectful environment. there has been no comment about blair fleming who denied our interview request. she and fleming still live together with two other teammates. she admits it is tressful. in private and publicly at games she has been getting overwhelming support for taking a stand. >> she says she actually supports those teams that are

f for fitting games. she says she believes the tide is turning in the trans ideology movement. >> bill: see how that goes. interesting. thank you in california. >> dana: israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahue reportedly telling the biden administration that israel's retaliatory strike against iran will target military structure but not nuclear and oil targets in iran. dan hoffman, i want to read you this. he said this about the "washington post" reporting. we listen to the opinions of the united states but we will make our final decisions based on our national interests. dan, i just talked to condoleezza rice about this last week. why is there so much leaking from the conversations between biden and netanyahu? it always seems to be coming from the u.s. side and in a way that hamstrings israel from doing what it thinks it needs to do? >> i think from the u.s. side, look, we're in an election season and the biden

administration is trying to message our own citizens as if to emphasize that we want to de-escalate and avoid a wider war. perhaps the biden administration wants to message iran as well so iran believes that the united states is trying to put the brakes on israel. but look, let's just be real clear here. iran launched to massive attacks on israeli territory. hezbollah launched a terrorist attack last year and hezbollah has been raining down rockets on israeli citizens in the north for over a year. if israel doesn't respond militarily and regain escalation dominance, and take the fight to the enemy fully, then those threats will persist and israel must take care of their own national security just as we would. >> dana: general keane was on the show monday and said this about biden's strategy. watch. >> the biden administration really is they want a permanent cease-fire and the war to stop right now. they wanted that months ago.

they don't advertise it like that but that's really what the policy is. and that's the pressure that is on israel continuously. >> dana: there is the clock that we have here which is the election. >> right. general keane is absolutely right. that has been the overwhelming response from the biden administration from the beginning, de-escalate. arrive at a cease-fire. but listen, there is no such thing as a cease-fire or proportionality when you are dealing with terrorists, whether it's hezbollah and hamas or houthis or a terrorist state like iran. the way to deal with that is what israel is doing. restore deterrents through kinetic action. there is no other option. >> dana: the other thing i wanted to ask you about. yesterday there was breaking news from lebanon you had the u.s. embassy telling americans this. u.s. citizens in lebanon are strongly encouraged to depart now.

u.s. citizens who choose not to depart at this time should prepare contingency plans should the situation deteriorate further. is that the current situation or something that's about to happen? >> honestly i think it is hard to tell. to me i would have issued that warning when the pagers blew up against hezbollah operatives and taking the fight to southern lebanon. threats to u.s. citizens not like fine wine getting better with age. we need to have warned our citizens weeks ago, not yesterday. so look, it is getting to be a little late to get them out of lebanon and hezbollah controls the airport. so there are not a lot of great options for getting out of lebanon. but i fear it may be growing too late for many of our citizens there. 80,000 in lebanon now. >> dana: there is a question. if hezbollah controls the airport is that a problem for americans who would want to leave? >> yes, it could be a problem if

hezbollah chooses to do something about it, absolutely. that's got to be an additional concern for us. >> dana: one of the things that's happened is israel is saying they want their citizens moved out of the north after october 7th to be able to go back to their homes. they don't want to go back to the homes if all those weapons and soldiers are right on border there and they're trying to push hezbollah and lebanese back to the river. do you think it's possible? >> well, i think it's israel's stated goal. look, just on recently hezbollah a couple of days ago launched 90 more rockets on israel into the north. israeli citizens can't return. 60 to 70,000 of them and the economy in that region has really suffered as a result. there is no question that's israeli's stated aim. i would be surprised if israel doesn't achieve that goal in spite of the fact that they are not getting at of the support,

certainly not all the diplomatic talk cover from this administration. >> dana: the last thing i would ask we're sending over some missile protection and some people. will that be there in time before there is an attack? >> that's a good question to be asking at the next white house briefing or department of defense briefing. i would like to hear spokesperson john kirby talk about that. yeah, we're sending the thaad anti-missile defense to israel. will it be arriving in time? will it be operational in time? if israel launches a strike on iran in the coming days, it may not be there in time if there is another iranian tit-for-tat response. >> dana: that might tell us something about the timing then. dan hoffman as always, thank you. >> bill: we have bill clinton saying the quiet part out loud talking about the lawless border. migrant policy and the death of lakin riley in georgia. what he said that has republicans pouncing. plus survivors of the trump

assassination attempt in butler, pennsylvania, looking back and speaking out for the first time. what they are saying about secret service security at the rally that day in butler. >> did the secret service fail former president trump and you that day? >> oh, yes, big time. >> it was a rush job, you know? there was put together too quickly and they skipped steps. . people tell me they'd love to buy gold. but because it's gold, they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital. with rosland... the entire process from start to finish is built on one concept. one... keep...it...simple. rosland capital a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs, and our premium coins, can help you preserve your wealth. call rosland capital at 800-630-8900 to receive your free rosland guide to gold, gold & precious metals ira, and silver brochures.

>> dana: the finger pointing continues after the arrest of a man from afghanistan accused of plotting an election day terror attack. some say dhs and state departments are contradicting each other. david spunt is at d.o.j. to sort it out. >> bill: a classic case of government finger pointing. the man is in federal custody this morning. he has been in custody for several weeks. we aren't getting answers why he was let into the united states. he came to the united states shortly after the u.s.

withdrawal in his home country of afghanistan back in september 2021. there is a lot of pointing and tension involving difficult departments. the c.i.a., justice department and f.b.i. and homeland security. we know he worked as a security agent on behalf of the c.i.a. in afghanistan. he was vetted for that job. he was vetted when he came to the united states. but the level of vetting is unclear. was he radicalized before or after he came to the states. that's where the government blame game begins. originally fox news was told it was believed he was radicalized after he came to the u.s. and if he fell through the cracks. queue the finger pointing. >> the department of homeland security is contradicting the state department in terms of who vetted who. i think all of us involved know the vetting wasn't as it should have been. they got out a lot of the wrong

people and left behind the right people >> when we vet and we do so intensively. when we vet an individual it is a point in time screening and vetting process. if we obtain information subsequently that suggests the individual could be of danger, we take appropriate law enforcement action. that is exactly what we did in this case. >> many more questions. the state department holding a briefing today and we hope to get answers who was the final person, the final say to allow this person into the united states. >> dana: i know you will have your hand up. thanks, david. >> bill: the former president, bill clinton, was in georgia taking an indirect swipe of the biden-harris administration suggesting that the former nursing student lakin riley would be alive if the border were secure. >> trump killed the bill.

the bill was being written by senior republicans in the senate. and he killed the bill. why? you have a case in georgia not very long ago, didn't you? they made an ad about a young woman killed by an immigrant. yeah, well, if they don't properly vetted it probably wouldn't have happened. but if they are properly vetted, it doesn't happen and america is not having enough babies to keep up the population. we need immigrants to do work. >> bill: paul mauro is here to weigh in. you cover this story significantly from the perspective of american cities like new york trying to deal with this now. he said the quiet part out loud. >> he did. let me congratulate for perfectly articulating the

donald trump plan with the border. vetting is the key word. that's what has been missing. let's review the facts here. unfortunately former president clinton doesn't seem to have. september of 2022. the border bill was killed almost a year later, okay? so the vetting that he is talking about that didn't take place happened on the biden-harris watch. furthermore, he is from -- there are numerous programs to have special carve outs for venezuelans. chnv program. cuba, nicaragua, haiti, venezuela. none of those nations that we allow 30,000 immigrants from every month, we fly them in on our dime and we're responsible for their care and feeding. none of those nations cooperate at all with this nation. so how -- how he can be

complaining about vetting when that program is still underway. we all know if they're saying 30,000 a month it is significantly more. no wonder they can claim border encounters are down. these days the border is at the airport. >> dana: sure to come up that whole issue of the immigration with bret baier tomorrow night when he interviews kamala harris. in addition you have been to butler, pennsylvania for us several times. the two individuals who were shot but survived at that butler rally did an interview and they are mad about the process. watch here. >> i was more mad about it than anything. i was in the service, went through a war, didn't get a scratch and then you go to a rally and you get shot in the crowd. >> did the secret service fail former president trump and fail you that day? >> oh, yes, big time. >> it was a rush job, you know. it was put together too quickly and they skipped steps.

>> dana: and mrs. comperatore said she blames the secret service and they say we take full responsibility. what does that mean? is there any justice? >> i think it goes to the point of accountability. when you talk about justice, right? mr. comperatore is dead. there is nothing we can do about that. thank god these two men survived, right? the case resides on them with the pennsylvania state police. they are looking into crooks. it looks like everybody there has hit a wall and not getting a lot of information in terms of justice. you know, let's look at what happened afterwards and put yourselves in their shoes. imagine that happened, somebody gets killed, you get shot. the top person comes in front of congress and starts talking about the fact that there was a slight slope to the roof and so that's why -- and then this disappears and never heard from account. that's accountability? her number two by all accounts was running things actively, then comes forward and says i'm

the guy to fix it. i have been there all this time when it fell apart. trust me, i'm the guy to fix it. my boss is mayorkas, harris and biden all mia. what it really goes to, to look for accountability and advance the story and enlarge the canvas. the american executive at the top levels has disintegrated. we don't have anybody in charge. if we had an active, strong president after this it would have been i want a briefing tomorrow. everybody involved. i want it written and i want something i can release and i'll take questions and i will decide -- i will decide as the president who will take this thing over and fix it. that's hour bureaucracies that work function. >> dana: paul mauro at the ops desk. a present view of tomorrow night as well. former president trump will hold a town hall focusing on issues impacting women. harris faulkner is set to moderate and join us with a

pre-view next. whooping cough is making a resurgence.

judge ruling that georgia election boards are required to certify election results and cannot refuse to do so based on suspicion of fraud. what does all this mean? aishah hosni has more. hi, aishah. >> good morning to you. a big deal here in fulton county. what this judge here is essentially saying is that no matter what the results are this november, state election officials have to and county election officials have to certify those election results. this is a quote i want to show you put on the screen here from the fulton county judge robert mcburney who made the ruling.

he writes if election superintendents were as plaintiff urges free to play jury and judge, then georgia voters would be essentially silenced, he says. this case was brought by a republican on the fulton county election board, julie adams. abstained from certifying the results of the spring presidential primary and this ruling really comes on top of what just happened yesterday. secretary of state here in georgia said voters can trust the results and that people can say things, whatever they want to say. at the end of the day the winner will be the winner. one more level, one more thing that has happened in georgia saying to voters no matter what happens in november, those results will be certified. dana. >> dana: all right. aishah, thank you with the breaking news right out of georgia. >> bill: also in georgia today harris faulkner is set to hold a town hall with former president donald trump focusing on women's issues. everybody in the audience will be a woman airing tomorrow at

11:00 a.m. on "the faulkner focus." harris is live in forsythe county georgia, 40 miles north of atlanta. curious to find out what we'll learn. >> harris: i love the way you said women. like you put an emphasis there. you should. did you know that we're the largest group of registered and active voters in the country? women are. but i would tell you from talking with women in georgia and all over the country with voters' voices on "the faulkner focus", women's issues are everybody's issues and vice versa. so as we get ready for today, i will be pretty silent. you guys won't recognize me. i will talk much less and the voters are going to ask all the questions. so i know my husband can watch with the volume up now. my voice is just everywhere. anyway, thank you for laughing. there are some things you should know about georgia today. i know that aishah hosni was just reporting on the

certification rules and all of that with results in georgia. that's particularly important. early voting day is pretty busy. when i talk with local radio and tv people here, lots of media coming to this event to the town hall. i'm reaching out to everybody ahead of time and what i'm finding out is on the night at 8:00 p.m. we'll get a touch of what that early vote is like because in addition to the new certification ruling, there is also a side-by-side here in the state of georgia when they can start to count early voting. so that's going to be big. now remember, 6% of this state is still undecided. the vote went about 12,000 votes in between the two candidates last time to call the winner. so what does that mean? that means somewhere in the 6% potentially of people who don't know who they will vote for, there are enough of them to maybe decide the race. we don't know. so more than 100 women at a town hall with a lot of questions for one of the candidates.

we'll find out who is undecided. they want to talk abortion and security a lot. >> bill: can't wait to see it. good stuff. >> dana: i always wanted to go to that town that you are in. i know it's beautiful. >> harris: really? it is gorgeous. you love bucolic as much as i do. >> dana: i do. there is a show that i watched, i think based there even though it's somewhere else. tell me about it when you get back. we'll be watching. >> harris: i will. love to you both. >> bill: tomorrow 11:00 a.m. eastern time at the "the faulkner focus" harris from cummings, georgia. >> dana: we'll be there and it is a horrifying new statistic. whooping cough cases are up five times this fall compared to last year. it is hurting american children the most. what parents need to know right now. fox news senior medical analyst dr. marc siegel joins us with answers. whopping cough, how do you get it? >> you get it without knowing you are getting it.

it is a respiratory bacteria and very contagious. it is a bacteria. we don't know we even have it. we pass it among each other and little children get it and they are the ones with the big problems with it. under one year of age if you have this there is a one out of three chances to get hospitalized. >> bill: whooping cough systems. low grade fever, common cough. >> you don't know what it is. >> bill: later violent coughing fits and vomiting and sleep apnea. >> the bacteria affects the lungs. they are vacuum cleaners cleaning itself. this affects the hairs that do the vacuuming. if it's narrow it gets clogged and why you get the huge

whooping cough. there is an antibiotic that treats it but you have to know it is what you are treating. the key here is vaccination. the vaccine works dramatically. we see a drop-off in vaccines across the country here and only about 90% of kids are fully vaccinated before kindergarten and why it is resurging. this is a very, very safe vaccine. you get it starting at an early age and mandatory in all 50 states. a lot of people writing exceptions. >> dana: at what point if your child has these symptoms and not sure you think it might be a cold. should you go to the doctor immediately >> whooping cough is characteristic, a long whistle. whoop. you know it when you hear it. if you have a question definitely ask your pediatrician. antibiotics help. make sure you and your child are vaccinated. it is part of a tetanus series we give. you have to be up to date every

ten years. >> bill: a big one. i hope you can do it. there is a psychologist and a dietitian in l.a. talking about the stress that people take on during election season. all right? here is the quote. people are watching debates and watching the commentary on the couch quickly eating their bag of chips or cookies and it is destructive behavior. that may or not be the case for some people. talk about it. but the level of tension in america, i believe, can be felt the closer you get to election day. what is your advice on that? >> no question. emotional eating. a study shows it leads to weight gain and you feel bad and eat sugar. that is addictive. the way to get out of that is more exercise. one key word that dana shows on "the five" every day. empathy. listen to other people. it is not the end of the world if you disagree with someone. acknowledge you disagree with someone but don't make it so personal all the time. decrease your stress by
