running for office. >> bret: but you've been the person holding the office. >> come on. >> steve: come on. >> lawrence: it was tension at times as she dodge questions and blame donald trump. toward the end of the interview bret says it had to be quickly wrapped up after his team signaled to him to stop. >> they feel. >> bret: look at what the administration did and say and think differently. madam haven't they are wrapping me very hard here. i hope you got to say what you wanted to say about donald trump. there are a lot of things. >> i have lots i want to say. >> bret: they are giving me a hard wrap. >> well, i thank you for the time. >> bret: okay. prior that time hairs faced several tough direct questions how her presidency would differ from the current biden-harris administration. >> bret: so, you're not joe biden. you're not donald trump. but nothing comes to mind that you would do differently? >> let me be very clear, my

presidency will not be a continuation of joe biden's presidency. and, like every new president that comes in to office, i will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas. i represent a new generation of leadership. i, for example, am someone who has not spent the majority of my career in washington, d.c. >> bret: your campaign slogan is a new way forward and it's timing to turn the page. you have been vice president for three and a half years. so what are you turning the page from? >> well, first of all, turning the page from the last decade in which we have been burdened with the kind of rhetoric coming from donald trump that has been designed and implemented to divide our country. and have americans literally point fingers at each other. >> bret: madam vice president more than 70% of people. >> that is about turning the page on rhetoric that people are frankly exhausted of, bret.

>> bret: you have been in office for three and a half years. >> and donald trump has been running for office since. >> you have been holding the office, madam vice president. >> come on, you and i both know what i'm talking. about you and i both know what i am talking about. >> bret: i don't. what are you talking about. >> over the last decade people have become. >> bret: but number of power. >> listen, over the last decade it is clear to me and certainly the republicans who are on stage with me, the -- the former chief of staff to the president, donald trump, former defense secretaries, national security adviser and vice president one that he is unfit to serve, that he is unstable. that he is dangerous. >> lawrence: we had bret baier on yesterday to preview the big conversation with kamala harris. one of the things i noted is that what bret baier is really good when this comes down to the research. we saw that yesterday because it was question after question

based on her record and prior statements. and i got to be honest. she didn't meet the moment in the sense of having a response to those questions. but, i think it was a better format for kamala harris vs. some of the softball interviews she has gotten. at least she rose to the occasion in the sense of wanting to fight back. if you are on the left, maybe you applaud her. if you are somebody hobby waiting for the big interview then you thank bret baier for asking the tough questions. >> ainsley: but you have been in office it was almost like i haven't been to europe either. donald trump was running. he said but you're the one in office. you are the one we are turning to for change it. you want to turn the page. this is what you stood for in 2017 when you ran for president you you wanted to allow immigrants to apply for drivers licenses, free tuition and healthcare? do you still support that kamala said that was five years ago i will follow the laws.

>> bret: you chose tim walz as running mate and he signed all of this into law. do you. >> . we are clear we will support federal law. >> lawrence: which means nothing. >> steve: yesterday, when bret was on with us as you alluded to. >> ainsley: change the law. >> steve: we talked about how she is a known filibuster error. >> lawrence: we saw it. >> steve: she went to the answer we heard of a million times like she was reading a teleprompter. 20 seconds in he tried to refocus her on the actual question. it was back and forth the whole time. i will tell you this: if you and your family set this up as a drinking game before it started and you said okay, every time she says donald trump, i'm going to take a shot, you would have been so. >> lawrence: stoned. >> ainsley: smashed. >> steve: yeah. that's a good word. i would say 10 minutes in. because she every time the going

got tough she went to donald trump. >> ainsley: yeah. >> steve: ultimately, i think the campaign said, we w want toe able to say we have done a tough interview. they checked that box. they also say tim walz halls done a couple interviews on "fox news sunday" back-to-back. the campaign brian fallon put out a statement and they said they reached an audience that do not hear a lot directly from her and she showed her toughness. i think they think it was a win. >> lawrence: but the question that really i think is going to be played everywhere was when bret baier asked a direct question, when did you know about the diminished faculties of the current president of the united states? >> steve: and she turned to donald trump. >> lawrence: she went to donald trump. there was a huge pause there as if she was not expecting that question but the answer was not sufficient enough, especially when what we witnessed, ainsley on the debate stage. >> ainsley: i was watching bret

last night on sean's show. sean was saying, you know, you were supposed to do this interview at 5:00. he said she didn't walk out until 5:17. she knew he had a live show at 6:00. she knew we had to turn, this get it into the tape room so we could push play on that at 6:00. she knew how stressful that would be for the staff, the team, she knew she could eat into some of her time that she had promised bret baier. bret said we were supposed to have 25 minutes and she only gave us 20 minutes. i don't like interrupting but i had to interrupt a lot because she was filibustering. she just kept talking and talking about things i wasn't necessarily asking her about. so i had to interrupt. but, he said if i hadn't interrupted we would have probably gotten four questions in five minutes per question. so i had 75 questions prepared. >> steve: right. he was very well prepared. and he asked a lot of questions. throughout the 26 minutes. one of the ways that donald trump has really made some hay in the last couple of weeks is when an ad talking about how she

supports surgery for prisoners, gender changing surgery. and he asked her about that. and, once again, she started an answer and then she mentioned donald trump. watch. >> bret: so are you still in support of using taxpayer dollars to help prison inmates or detained illegal aliens to transition to another gender? >> i will follow the law. and it's a law that donald trump actually followed. you're probably familiar with now it's a public report that under donald trump's administration, these surgeries were available to on a medical necessity basis to people in the federal prison system. and i think, frankly, that ad from the trump campaign is a little bit of like throwing, you know, stones when you are living in a glass house. >> bret: trump atedz say he never advocated for that gender policy and no gender transition.

>> you have to be responsible for what happens in your administration. >> and no surgeries happened in his presidency. would you still advocate for using taxpayer dollars for gender surgeries? >> i will to the the law. >> lawrence: obviously she did not answer, ainsley the "yes" or "no" question do you support taxpayer funds going to gender reassignment. she always traps herself that last line you got take responsibility for what happens in your administration. so, the border, the 8 point some million folks come across the border. record inflation in the country. grocery prices going up. an economy that is not bouncing back. maybe if you like the stock market, then you are happy with it. but if you are going to the grocery store, is she responsible since this her administration? >> carley: yeah, she keeps saying i will fault law on the gender transitioning surgeries and prison. i will follow the law when this comes to the border? well, you have access to the law if you are the vice president. if you are running for president and you become president.

you can change the laws. there are executive orders. they did away with most of donald trump's executive orders when it came to immigration. bret knows the facts and bret really pressed her on this. and said what about immigration? how many across the border under your administration? she couldn't answer that she pivoted and changed subject. but she mentioned the amnesty bill again. and bret said that would have given 11 million illegals amnesty, a pathway to citizenship. because when she is asked about immigration. on day one, right after hours within us taking the oath, we tried to pass the u.s. citizenship act. and then that's when bret said, that would have allowed 11 million people to get citizenship. that's an amnesty bill. then she started talking about the bipartisan border bill that donald trump blamed it on donald trump that never passed. and bret said but democrats voted against it. democrats have problems with it. that would have allowed 1.8 million illegals to be allowed in our country every year. that is not closing the border. >> steve: so the question is, after the 26-minute interview, how many people who were watching fox or saw the

collision would actually say, you know, i was undecided, i'm going to change my mind. we talked a little bit about how there are so few. just a narrow little sliver of the electorate that is undecided. what is interesting, fox news came out with a brand new poll yesterday. and it had some good news for donald trump. he is now leading her by 2. she was ahead by 2 in the last poll. but what is interesting, in the fox poll it says that 10 percent of his supporters and 10% of -- about 10% of his supporters and about 10% of her supporters might change their mind. so, ultimately, they took a high risk gamble to come on fox and get a great grilling by the great bret baier. did she change any minds? it's interesting. because, earlier in the day, she appeared on stage there in pennsylvania with a bunch of republicans who said okay, we're supporting her. one other fact from the fox news poll is 20% of non-maga

republicans apparently are going to vote for her. the balance of them are going to vote for him. >> lawrence: so we're going to have senator j.d. vance, the g.o.p. vice presidential nominee to react to the kamala harris video interview with bret baier later on in the show. this election is not over though. it is whoever can get and break up the other person's coalition, and part of the conversation that is happening is in black barber shoppes right now, ainsley. black men are supporting trump in a record that in modern daytime they have never supported a republican. kamala harris still has some support as well we have been going across the country and talking to supporters will candidate. first one detroit. let's watch. >> it i'm with trump. >> lawrence: okay. why are you with trump? >> because i know when trump was in office four years ago, it was a lot better than it is right now. >> i get there is a lot of angst

when you talk about president trump, but when we talk about were we better off? i'm still on the fence. i haven't flipped because of what donald trump has done, i'm automatically voting for kamala. >> lawrence: right. first you are talking joe biden and talking donald trump. i wasn't satisfied. i wasn't happy with either one of them. now you have miss kamala harris, okay, who brings a lot more civility but i still like to see what her platform is. >> steve: that's interesting. >> ainsley: do you know what i'm learning though when we talk politics and i'm learning this just within groups, it's pretty civil. i feel like they're listening to both sides this time. >> lawrence: there was definitely some moments, ainsley nature of the beast where he got fired. people went at each other. >> ainsley: really? >> lawrence: things that were said that the other side didn't like about the other side. but, at the end of the day, they were able to walk out civilly and still be brothers, you know, you have elected officials in there. people that were business owners

there. former police chiefs in there. and so these are guys that were spirited and whoever they were going to support, but there is a movement happening. it's not over yet. but there is a trend that's happening that a typical democrat coalition has been broken up. so, are all of the people in that barbershop going to vote for donald trump? no, i think that would be inaccurate. would i say 40% to 30% of them will? i think that's what we saw. >> ainsley: are you surprised by it because remember when joe biden said if you ain't black, then -- if you are black and you don't vote for me you ain't black. are you surprised that we are seeing things change? >> lawrence: i'm not, ainsley. because i have been talking about it. i have been seeing it. >> ainsley: and you changed? >> lawrence: exactly. i think that -- i don't think this is a reflection of the republican party. i think there is an appeal of donald trump that is attracting

these black males. remember he was a cultural icon before he ran for politics. there is some of that, number two i think is the number one issue for those black voters is the economy. and i think there's a lot of people that when we went in there, even the people that are supporting kamala harris surprisingly said things were better economically under donald trump. that's the issue that is attracting black male voters. >> steve: and that is why lawrence has got this series of barber shops coast to coast and we are going to hear from some of the folks in detroit. extensively very shortly. here on the curvey couch, i think the cleaning crew is going to come in #:02 got to look spark links because the former president the united states, who could be the next 39 of the united states, donald trump, is actually going to be live in our studio right here on the curvey couch tomorrow. brian. >> lawrence: that should be interesting. a lot to discuss. >> ainsley: glad to have him here in person. >> lawrence: we are. >> steve: indeed. >> ainsley: hand it over to carley.

>> carley: kicking it off with sad news here fans holding a vigil outside a hotel in argentina after former one direction liam. he jumped from the balcony of the third floor of his hotel room and it happened after hotel employee reported an aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol to emergency services. tributes are pouring in from the music world. including producers and charlie poof. the mother of former band mate harry styles posted on social media he was just a boy. he was 31 years old and leaves behind 7-year-old son. federal appeals court will soon hear oral arguments on sean "diddy" combs push to be released from prison. that is fourth 8 civil lawsuits have been filed against him since his arrest. claims from 100 alleged victims.

nungaray, rachel morin, laken riley, they are young woman who were brutally assaulted and killed by some of the men who were released at the beginning of the administration. duo those families an apology? >> let me just say, first of all, those are tragic cases. there's no question about that. there's no question about that. and i can't imagine the pain that the families of those victims have experienced for a loss that should not have occurred. so, that is true, it is also true that if a border security had actually been passed nine months ago it, would be nine months that we would have had more border agents at the border, more support for the folks who are working around the clock trying to hold it all together -- >> bret: madam vice president -- >> to assure that some noe future harm would occur.

this election in 20 day also determine whether we have a president of the united states who actually cares more about fixing a problem even if it is not to their political advantage in an election because there was a solution, bret. >> steve: in her first formal interview sitting down with fox news. facing questions about migrants on their watch. including the tragic case of rachel morin a mother of five murdered by illegal migrant. rachel's mother patty joins us. good morning to you. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> steve: you bet. she never answered the question. bret was asking duo an apology to the families? does she? >> i think that she does. answers speak louder than words. she has had almost four years to

prove her mettle and by her actions i would say that she puts illegal immigrants above the american people. >> steve: right. >> she has allowed all these deaths to happen on her watch. >> steve: you know, during the interview. and i'm sure you saw it. whenever there was a question, -- uncomfortable questioning regarding the border or migration she would pivot back to donald trump torpedo that border bill. your daughter was murdered over a year ago. and the border bill was not brought up and discussed until may of this year. so, it would not have saved your daughter's life. it? >> would not, and i think the only reason why they tried to push this border bill was to save face because they knew that this invasion happened on their watch. and woefully, i believe, it happened. and then also, if the american people actually read the bill,

they would see that the majority of the money was going to foreign interests like ukraine and israel and very little was actually going to the border and what went to the border, was to actually facilitate bringing more illegal immigrants into the country. not securing and closing the border. >> steve: as we look at your beautiful family, patty, these images, do you blame the biden administration for the death of your girl? >> i do. the reason why i do is because there were policies that were already in place. you don't need to change the law you are. vice president. those policies were in place. mr. trump had them in place. and they revoked them all. more out of spite towards mr. trump, i believe, than anything. and they completely opened up our border to a massive invasion of illegal imgrants. like none ever seen in the

history of our country. so, yes, i completely and totally blame them. >> steve: so she wouldn't answer whether or not she owed an apology, she said it was tragic. she did say i can't nag the pain these families experience. paste, tell her the pain your family has experienced. >> oh my gosh. man, if i start telling the pain, i'm going to be crying. this past weekend, i went down to connect. it was a little over a year ago when my daughter, we heard the news that my daughter had passed. i was in kentucky because a grand baby had passed. and to sit with my family a year later and to see them still mourning the death not only of their own child, but their sister and to speak to the other moms and listen to her pain, it was heart breaking. it was heart breaking for me because now i understood -- at

the time i don't understand the loss of a child. and now i understand that loss. and it's something that never goes away. it's -- some days, you know, i mean you are okay. but there never goes a day by that was poor english, where you don't think -- i don't think about rachel. i don't cry for rachel. i don't think about her children, and there is never a day. and i talk to people that have lost children and they said the pain never goes away. that i'm going to walk with it the rest of my life. that's an unbearable thing. i want to feel happy again. and i don't know how to do that. sorry. >> steve: no. that's real. that's how you feel. >> yeah. it's like this should not be and if they had secured the borders, and just american people should come first. that's why we elect these officials, to protect our country.

not to open the border and allow all these sworn enemies of our country into our country. and then give them aid and comfort above the american people? that's just not right. >> steve: it isn't right. patty, thank you very much. >> you're welcome, sir. >> steve: god bless you and your family. >> thank you. bye. >> steve: rachel morin was 37 when she was murdered. we'll be right back. ♪

to go down. so they would have more money to feed their families. the one guy said about kamala harris, i don't have enough information on her stance on immigration. i'm like how much time do you have because we could inform you. >> lawrence: one of the brothers that was in the barbershop is a construction worker. he goes look, i don't want to give donald trump credit on this, but he goals when i was in the construction industry because of what was happening on the border when he was cracking down on it, he goes our wages went up because they weren't allowed to you hire -- to have the illegals to hire. he goes i have to give him credit on that because it did directly impact my job. and i think that's what it is going to come down to as the race settles down, we're almost like getting close to two weeks out. then people are going to make decisions based on how it will impact their day-to-day lives. >> steve: sure, and the barbershop itself. i bet business is off from the hay day just because people don't have enough money to go and get a hair cut, a shave and they do a shoe shine there, too,

right? >> lawrence: 100 percent right. traditional. it was respectful. even though heated sometimes. civil. people left hugging. went right back to work. >> ainsley: so you did thisn ch. detroit? >> lawrence: detroit. then we're going to air atlanta and then have a big one in the bronx here in new york as well. >> steve: fantastic, good job. >> lawrence: a lot of fun. >> steve: all right. meanwhile, 16 minutes before the top of the hour. college volleyball players refusing to face another team over a transgender athlete on that team as donald trump fights for fairness in women's sports. >> just yesterday they had a volleyball match. and i saw the slam. it was a slam -- i never saw a ball hit so hard. you just don't let it happen. >> ainsley: riley gaines is coming up next. ♪ there are many ways to do things. at old dominion freight line, we do them this way. this way has people who start early.

anticipation of a potential large scale military strike by israel against iran in retaliation for that october 1st missile attack here. now in the meantime the united states just announced it carried out that large attack five military sites controlled by the houthis in yemen. the u.s. says it used provision b 2 berms against the houthis, weapons storage locations. this attack can also be seen as the united states warning iran, which is the houthis main benefactor. lloyd austin writing u.s. forces targeted several of the houthis underground facilities housing various weapon components of types that the houthis have used to target civilian and military vessels throughout the region. we will continue to make clear to the houthis that there will be consequences for their illegal and reckless attacks. now, switching back over to israel. the idf just announced a short while ago that it killed a hezbollah batallions commander in lebanon. and also eliminated dozens of

[cheers and applause] >> not a big deal. >> ainsley: it comes as players from the university of nevada volleyball team refused to compete against san jose state over a transgender player on their roster. citing safety concerns and quote injustice against female

athletes. independent women's ambassador and host of the gains for girls podcast on outkick.com who actually broke the story riley gaines. she just spoke to the team. what is your reaction to what president trump said? can a president actually ban this or does congress have to change the law? >> of course a president can use his or her executive power to protect women's sports. which, of course, this is in total contrast with what the biden-harris administration has done. they illegally and administratively have totally abolished title ix as it was originally implemented. certainly a president can reverse course. i was so enthused to see president trump's moral clarity, to see his leadership and effectively and emphatically saying enough is enough. this is absurd. he literally said this is crazy, i will do everything in my power to make sure that this stops at all levels.

>> ainsley: harris asked for a show of hands and she said basically the whole room was worried about their. i'm sure you are hearing that from some people. what was your meeting like with the women playing on the nevada volleyball team who decided to forfeit their game? >> they are now the fifth team to do so. which as a college athlete, to be very clear, it is pretty detrimental to you're seasonal to accept a loss, which is what these teams are doing to accept a loss in conference play. but in talking with these girls, they told me this is a loss that they are willing to take because they understand some things matter more than victory, and their safety, their well-being and the integrity of sports is one of those things. so i commend them. i commend their bravery and their leadership. certainly more bravery and leadership than the adults in the room, their coaches, the president of the university. the athletic director showed. again, can i tell you based on internal and private conversations, these leaders, they know what the right thing to do is. but they say they cannot do the

right thing. that their hands are tied. since when did we allow our leaders, elected or appointed for that matter, to knowingly do what is unfair, unjust you, unsafe and just plain wrong? if our leaders cannot ginsd it within themselves to do the right thing, then step aside and allow someone who can to be in that position. so i guess they are going moral compass or get out of the way. >> was it the majority of the team that said we want to forfeit? all the women or just the majority? >> no, these teams all five of them actually, they ended up taking a vote. and what we have seen in all five teams is the overwhelming majority of players decided that it wasn't worth it. they said we know we are standing down. but in relates, we're standing up. we are standing up for not just ourselves, our teammates, but for many future generations of women and girls to come. >> yes, i watched the video. remember was it a year ago? a year and a half ago of the

north carolina volleyball player playing against another team with a transgender athlete and that transgender athlete spiked ball, hit her in the head, she suffered a concussion and had a lot of problems after warts? >> ainsley, even still to this day, that hit was over two years ago, it was in september of 2022. >> ainsley: okay. >> still to this day payton mcnabb is partially paralyzed own her right side. her vision is impaired. memory is impaired. special accommodations for testing in school. she had dreams of playing softball in college. all of that totally -- i mean her life changed because of a man being on the court posing as a woman, which, keep in mind, a men's volleyball net is 7 and a half inches higher than a woman's net. it's almost as if we acknowledge innately that biological advantage. >> ainsley: it's about fairness and safety for you. this is a statement from a partial statement from the university of nevada, reno. the player's decision does not

represent the position of the university. the university intends to move forward with the match as scheduled and the players may choose not to participate in the match on the day of the contest. and it looks like they have decided not to participate. riley, thank you so much for coming on. >> of course. thank you, ainsley. >> carley: can you see more of riley on trans fixed on fox nation. still a big show ahead, c tulsi gabbard and j.d. vance coming up. ♪ so, what are you thinking? i'm thinking...
