told bret baier the country needs to move on. problem is, she's part of the current administration, remember? >> bret: you've been in office for 3-1/2 years. >> and donald trump has been in office. come on. >> steve: j.d. vance will reacts, jd, you are next. >> lawrence: "fox and friends" exclusive series i went to barber shops to talk politics. >> remember is so short right now, was it not vice president harris who supported what? defund the police? >> ainsley: north carolina still struggling to rebuild from hurricane helene, but country mu music's biggest stars are doing their part to help. parmalee joins us later in the

show. >> lawrence: final hour of "fox and friends" starts now. >> steve: it happened last night, must-see fox news interview. bret baier pressing the vice president about the economy and border, a lot about the border in her 1st sit-down with fox news. >> ainsley: and the democratic nominee refuses to take responsibility for migrant crime under her administration. >> jocelyn nungaray, rachel morin, laken riley, young men who were brutally killed by those released -- do you owe the family an apology? >> let me say, those are tragic cases, there is no question about that. there is no question about that. i can't imagine the pain the families of those victims with experienced for a loss that

should not have occurred. so that is true. it is also true that if a border security had been passed nine months ago, nine months we would have more border agents at the border, more support for folks working around the clock. >> madam vice president -- >> to ensure no future harm would occur. this election in 20 days will determine if 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. there was a solution, bret. >> lawrence: the mother 've rachel morin joined us on "fox and friends" with emotional reaction to the harris interview. watch. >> i've talked to people that have lost children and they said the pain never goes away. i will walk with it the refrt

've rest of my life. that is unbearable thing. i want to feel happy again, i don't know how to do that. this should not be. if they had secured the borders and american people should come first, that is why we elect officials, to protect our country. not to open the border. >> steve: we brought her on today because kamala harris was asked a couple times whether or not she owed the families an apology. she did not apologize per se. she said they are tragic cases and i cannot imagine the pain the families are experiencing. we asked patty morin, tell her about the pain. that is what she was talking about. patty morin, whose daughter, ravel, 37 years old, when she was murdered by a migrant in the cou country illegally. she said the pain never goes

away. >> ainsley: let's bring in j.d. vance. good morning to you. >> good morning, guys, how you doing? >> ainsley: doing well. you heard that interview, that is gut-wrenching to know it is preventable and it happened after they did away with the wall and ended remain in mexico. what is your reaction? >> first of all, our heart goes out to patty morin and all the people who have lost lives because of illegal immigrant crime. we need to change the policy so it doesn't happen to the next be minute american girl ore family. what i heard from kamala harris last night, these girls, jocelyn nungaray and laken riley and patty's daughter are not dead because of some accident or some force of nature, they are dead because kamala harris opened the border and let their killers into our country to go after their daughters.

they don't need our sympathy or kind words, they need leadership who puts security of this country first and they are not getting that from kamala harris. guys, the thing i found bizarre about kamala harris entire interview, 25 be minutes of a person who could not answer a direct question. how many illegal immigrants have come in? did not answer. what are we turning the page on? she talked about donald trump, who has not been in office for 3-1/2 years, kamala harris has been. she did not have the skill to navigate a tough interview and does not know how to explain her record because her record is not possible to explain away to american people. she dipped and dodged questions for 25 minutes, that is not leadership and not contrition and american people would like to see acknowledgement that she screwed up. it is why we have so many

problems. real leadership would be promising a new course and acknowledging why the old course did not work. >> lawrence: senator, stay on immigration, one thing i noticed in that interview, there is a misunderstanding between changing the laws when it comes to immigration reform and border security. it seems like they feel like it is one or the other. i guess my question is, how do you guys highlight that on the campaign trail? you saw in the interview with bret baier, she continued to say, we proposed a bill. that bill had no border security measures there. >> yeah, that's exactly right. go back to the original days of biden-harris administration and 94 executive orders when kamala harris became border czar and had purpose and effect of opening american southern border, ending donald trump's remaybe in mexico policy,

stopping construction of the border wall, that threw open the flood gates. they want to pull a bait and switch. yes, we opened the border for three years, if congress had bailed us out, that was going to make original three years of our open border better. i was there when that bill was negotiated. it wouldn't have secured the border. it would have allowed two million peep toll come into our country everyday and impechl welled catch and release policy put in place. if you have catch and release and have an illegal immigrant come in and float around our country, you will never have real border security. i would like her to acknowledge they came in saying they were going to open the border and undo donald trump's border policy. they did that and predictable consequences ensued. admit it, admit you screwed up

and change course. don't blame congress because you refuse to do your job. >> steve: senator, we were joking earlier, if somebody was playing a drinking game where every time she said the name donald trump, 10 minutes in, you would be toasted because every time he asked a question about her or the biden administration, she talked about donald trump. one of the things she had to do was clean up the mess she made last week on "the view" and stephen colbert show. when asked, what would you do differently? a kamala harris administration? she goes, nothing comes to mind. bret wanted to make sure she actually felt that way or did she have a different answer? she has a different answer. listen to this. >> your campaign slogan is a new way forward and it is time to turn the page. you have been vice president for 3-1/2 years, what are you turning the page from?

>> turning the page from the last decade in which we've 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. that is your honor itting the page. >> bret: 70% of people -- >> people are exhausted, bret. >> bret: you've been in office for 3-1/2 years. >> donald trump has been running for office. >> bret: you have been holding the office. >> come on. >> steve: two or three times for a drink during that one answer. what she did, joe biden is deeply unpopular, she declared her independent from him and said her administration would not be a continuation of joe biden's presidency. do you believe that? >> no, not at all. the entire theme of her campaign

is that she hasn't even met the president that is the president, even though she is sitting vice president and ran on the ticket with him. she is deciding vote and trillions of joe biden's spending, she bragged about being last person in the room when major decisions were made. step back and appreciate, there is something pathological going on here. she's been in power for 3-1/2 years and when asked about how she would be different, she goes and talks about donald trump. when it is pointed out, you have been in office for 3-1/2 years, she says, he's been talking about politics for 10 years. what is it in the mind of this person that can't acknowledge she's been in power for 3-1/2 years and bears some responsibility as the sitting vice president for the condition the country is in. she could say, well, i think things are better than you are giving me credit for or she could say, this was not totally

my fault. she pretends donald trump bears responsibility for problems that happened while she was sitting vice president. she does that beg your pardon border, about affordability of groceries, about chaos on the world stage. i've never seen a person running for president as sitting vice president who pretends she has nothing to do with the country she's been governing. >> ainsley: we saw elon musk supporting donald trump in butler and now in pennsylvania. you just spoke to voters in that battleground state, what issues are you hearing that matter most? >> you know, i'm hearing consist e7 e entally about concerns about the border and about manufacturing and about american energy. the most important part of manufacturing in this country is having low energy costs. pennsylvania workers are saying, we have best energy in the world and kamala harris won't let us

get it out of the ground, that is why we're supporting donald trump, he will. of course, finally, you are hearing concern about the cost of groceries, small business owners can't afford to get by. moms and dads can't afford to buy things at the grocery store. we're going to be back in pennsylvania later today, i love the state of pennsylvania, the commonwealth of pennsylvania and i think we're in a good spot to win it. people are fed up with more of the same under kamala harris. >> lawrence: you see it in swing states, in pennsylvania, i've been going across the country going to barber shops, you are breaking up that coalition with black males. how do you get those people, we know they are frustrated and willing to give you guys a shot. get them to the polls. how do you get these voters, are you encouraging them to start voting now? early voting is happening. how do you get them there?

>> yeah, great question and great point. i'm not one of these guys who loves election season. as donald trump says, it is what it is. if democrats are going to use early voting, mail-in voting, republicans, we have to take advantage of the opportunities out there for us to vote. whether demp accurate, republican or independent, use abs centee voting, use mail-in voting and early voting and it is kicking off the ground in pennsylvania. our numbers are quite good. you asked, how do you get folks to the polls? hammer the message over next 18 days, only way to change direction of this country is to actually get out and vote for donald trump and on the ground with our campaign we're spending time knocking on doors and calling people, going and visits people and saying, vote when you can, country depends on it. >> steve: if you don't vote, you can't complain. that should motivate a lot of

people. >> that is what my grandmother said, steve. >> steve: she was smart. thank you, senator, for joining us today. we did reach out to the harris campaign, but haven't heard back. we will not hold our breath. >> ainsley: i got a video yesterday from someone in atlanta, they got a knock on their door, from someone campaigning for kamala harris. she said, we have a trump assign in our yard, can't you see i'm voting for trump. they said, do you have college-age students here at the house i can talk to. she said, yes, they are both voting for trump. >> lawrence: former president will join us live on the curvy couch tomorrow with reaction to his big talk tonight at the al smith dinner and we'll ask him about the kamala harris interview. we'll hear from you, as well, you can send a video, right, steve? >> steve: take your cell phone and put into video and do a

selfie or what-not, we want you to do your name and town, hi, i'm steve, i live in new jersey. then ask the former president your question. if you can keep it you're 20 se seconds more likely to make it. e-mail us friends at foxnews.com. >> ainsley: give them your cell phone number. >> steve: enough people know it already. >> ainsley: fox news alert, any minute president joe biden will head out on what is likely his final european trip as president. >> steve: heading for germany for meeting with leaders there to discuss conflicts in ukraine and middle east. >> lawrence: jacqui heinrich is live in berlin with the latest. >> good morning, guys, main focus of this trip to fortify ukraine's ability to defend itself with future of usz

support uncertain after the election. two big things are not on the table now, biden has not made a decision to green light ukraine's use of targets deep inside russia, zelenskyy's number one request. there is no consensus between nato and ufr offering ukraine invitation to join. in mid-july, all 32 allies affirm ukraine is on irreversible path to membership. question is about tactics of how to encourage that path and gain consensus on the next steps. 340e69 likely it won't be in the cards until the war ends. >> we want to be in a place where zelenskyy and ukraine from position of strength is able to start talks with russia. until that moment comes, he can count on continuing support and putin cannot count on us letting go of that support. >> president biden spoke with zelenskyy yesterday and

announced 425 million security package, it includes munitions and armored vehicles. it is unclear if zelenskyy will appear in germany as biden meets with france and the u.k. and they are expected to discuss the war in middle east which has stocked concern about full-scale conflict with iran with resources being spread thin. this is likely the president's last visit to europe while in office. it is also a bit of a bittersweet goodbye. president biden has played role in shapeings u.s. policy for 50 years and will receive military honors from germany while here, highest recognition a person can receive. >> steve: heading that way shortly. jacqui heinrich in downtown berlin. looks like a beautiful day. thank you. >> steve: our vice president will be the first presidential candidate in decades to mistonight's al smith dinner in

new york city. is that a good idea? we'll discuss that next. york ci. is that a good idea? we'll discuss that next.

died. medical officials say he fractured his skull and died instantly after jumping from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in buenos aires. an aggressive man under influence of drugs or alcohol was reported. fans lining the streets and holding candles. liam payne leaves behind a seven-year-old son. independent panel released a report on first assassination attempt of former president donald trump in butler, pennsylvania. the report from bipartisan panel blames secret service for failed communication and not securing the building used by the would-be assassin. in a letter to dhs secretary mayorkas, requires reform, without reform, it is believed

another butler can and will happen again. president biden announcing plans to cancel 4 billion in student debt for 60,000 public service workers. president biden saying from day one of my administration, i promised to ensure a ticket to middle class, not a barrier to opportunity. i will never stop working to make higher education affordable no matter how many times republicans try to stop us. those are headlines. steve, up to you. >> steve: thank you. donald trump is expected to attend al smith dinner tonight in new york city. his opponent, kamala harris, will not be there. this is the first time a presidential candidate has skipped this catholic charity event in four decades. here is what the archbishop of new york, cardinal tim dolan had to say about that. >> we are disappointed, we were

looking forward to giving the vice president an enthusiastic welcome. this has not happened in 40 years since walter mondale and he lost 49 out of 50 states. we are nused to this and not giving up. >> steve: "wall street journal" editorial member bill mcgurn joins us now. i love to see this dinner because it is both sides making fun of themselves, each other, it is a great night. >> bill: would you turn down dinner with cardinal dolan? it would be enjoyable on its own. this institution of america, this dinner, both candidates could meet in a civil setting. proceeds go to charity and the speeches are gentle ribbing back and forth. it is a great event. i don't know why kamala harris

would miss it when of course, catholic vote is important in states like pennsylvania. >> steve: tonight when donald trump is speaking, i'm sure fox news channel and other news channels will feature it. her campaign says she's busy. she's in wisconsin, a bunch of stuff to do. maybe she just thinks new york state, where this event happens, is in the bag. same time, you know this, you turn on one of the local channels, there are so many kamala harris ads and those are probably trying to flun people down ballot. hey, vote for me. vote for the democrat for congress. >> one thing, big loss for america, we need ceremonies like this. it is part of tradition. it is nice temperature is like joe biden turning down the super bowl interview, it is inexplicable. these are not hard places to do.

people want to see your personality and so forth. as i mentioned, the catholic vote is very important. kamala harris really does not seem to be considering it. she's very mixed record in the senate as attorney general on religious things and in pennsylvania, catholics are according to last exit poll, 30% of population, in a state that is 1%, that is important. >> steve: absolutely. thing upon about this gathering, it is not all catholics, it is to benefit catholic charities. if you're democrat, it is uncomfortable if conversation turns to abortion given the stance right now. maybe that is part of the cal

cl calculation. >> remember president biden went and bill clinton went. it comes up but it is better to go than not go. the vice president has not been out there. this is a setting that is fun. this is a genial night, she could give it to donald trump a little bit. she would have to take some. the people like it. inexplicable why she would snub it. >> steve: i'll bet tomorrow campaign geniuses will say, why did we skip that again? >> some may be responsible for skipping it. who knows. >> steve: 100%. bill mcgurn, go upstairs and get to work. >> will do. >> steve: 8:29 here in new york city. "fox and friends" exclusive, lawrence's barber shop series kicks off in detroit and voters share issues that matter to them the most. >> go to the grocery stores

one hundred republicans who worked in national security for presidents reagan, both bushes, and for president trump. now endorsing harris for president. she came up as a prosecutor, an attorney general, into the senate. she has the kind of character that's going to be necessary in the presidency. vice president harris is standing in the breach at a critical moment in our nation's history.

we have a shared commitment as americans to do what's right for this country. this year, i am proudly casting my vote for vice president kamala harris. former generals, secretaries of defense, secretaries of the army, navy, and air force, cia directors and national security council leaders under democratic and republican presidents, republican members of congress, and even former trump administration officials agree: there's only one candidate fit to lead our nation, and that's kamala harris. i'm kamala harris and i approve this message. i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years in active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served. they've been in leadership positions. they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary. and they come to us and they say, i need some financial help at this point in time. they're not looking for a handout. they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can

to see what people are saying on the ground. let's go. >> lawrence: if election were held today, who would win the election? >> kamala harris. >> i think it is a coin flip at this time. i really do. >> i think the country is so divided, you would not have numbers like you have, it is frett fretty pretty much 50/50. >> i'm in between myself, a lot of decisions have to be made. me being an entrepreneur and father and grandfather. >> end of the day, i'm trump, my eyes open, i can see he was doing a lot better than we're going through right now. you can't go to grocery store right now without making a life decision op what you want to get. you got to compromise. we don't have to go through that

four years ago. >> being able to live on a day-to-day basis has become harder at this point in time. >> it is hard to put our economic condition now on any particular administration. >> in regard to the economy, i do think that trump has some benefits as far as bringing, keeping our jobs right here. right here in this country. not sending another job overseas. we are going through enough crisis here in our country and i think working class would need more job security right here in this country. >> who thinks immigration wise kamala harris is better? >> i don't have enough information. >> that is fair. >> lawrence: who thinks donald trump would be better for the border? >> individuals are coming into our country, not just illegal, they are criminals. >> lawrence: third issue is crime, who is best candidate to

handle crime in america? >> kamala harris would be best. >> memory is so short right now, was it not vice president harris defund police? >> lawrence: more black men voted for donald trump than any other republican ever. so why is that? what is leading toward more support for him versus any other republican? >> my brother, is a firm donald trump supporter. some things he always says to me, some of his principles as far as abortion, as far as same-sex marriage, those things are a lot of sticking points that draw a lot of black men. >> sometimes us as black brothers, we feel like the other is better than we are. to me, that is slavery mentality, that master is better and we want -- >> hold on, bishop.

>> lawrence: are you saying brothers -- >> i come from a different generation. >> lawrence: i understand that. are you saying brothers that subscribe to donald trump that feel he would be better, have a slave manitality? >> many of us have a slavery mentality. i'm voting for -- >> need to educate ourselves. >> stop this emotional, that is what is wrong with the black race, we are too emotional. i can't have an opinion without you being madz at me or upset wha what i said. >> the presidency is not a person, it is an institution to be protected. we need to get back to that. understanding the position, understanding what the intended job is. it is not kamala harris. it is not joe biden. it is not donald trump. right? it is united states of america.

>> steve: i love the discussion back and forth. >> ainsley: great. >> steve: some for her, some for him. >> lawrence: it was like being at home, this is how i learned to do this show, having debates in the barber shop. some people going with kamala harris, some are going for donald trump. the problem is traditionally in a barber shop, 95% of the people would be voting for a democrat. >> steve: you know, an important word you just said is an open debate. a lot of people, and ainsley and i have this shared memory, both of our dads had coffee with a bunch of guys every morning, same place, sirloin stockade in abilene around the table and everyone had a point of view. there was no wrong answer. just wanted to hear. same when i play pickleball. there are people who are for him. there are people who are for

her. what brings us together is h humanity of what we do and we talk a little bit about why we feel the way we do, they do. because there is the not somebody saying here is why you are wrong, then you are not afraid to talk. >> ainsley: what was reaction when you walked in? did they love it? >> lawrence: all love. everyone knows, you can have your point of view, still, no one in there, i think believes anyone in there wants what is bad for america. everybody wants what is good. brothers disagree on the way to get there. this is first of many. we started with chicago, now atlanta, bronx and finish it off and will be time to vote by then. >> ainsley: love that you are doing this, fun to listen to them speech. is the person in the chair like, stop talking and finish my hair? i got to go to work.

>> lawrence: you got to see this. the fbi has revised crime data from 2022 that now shows increase in violent crime. the initial data indicated crime had fallen. lucas tomlinson has the story on the numbers. lucas, they just updated and didn't tell us? >> lucas: that is right. as we have seen with jobs numbers, the fbi revising crime stats. back in 2022, fbi said violent crime decreased by 2.1% and now adjusting number to show increase of 4.5%. for 2023, it is predicted violent crime will show decrease of 3.5%. recall this exchange during the

presidential debate last month. >> crime is through the roof, despite fraudulent statements. >> fbis violent crime is coming down in this country. >> the fbi, they were defrauding statements and did not include the worst cities, cities with tz worst crime. it was fraud. >> lucas: here is the fbi statement, the fbi stands behind our publication. 2023 was first phase in fbi effort to provide more timely data. next phase will see a shift to monthly data to promoez trans parenty and provide opportunity for consumers to review data based on more timely accounts and data will be continuously updated. we'll check back to see if revisions from 2023 holdup. when steve was talking about

son, the grandson, because it's just too painful and they don't know how it will end. what are some of the stories you've heard that made you say i have to do this for my residents, my community? >> personally i have had a friend, had to check in on him and he had to tie things to trees so they wouldn't float away and in the process of cleaning up. luckily everyone was fine but unfortunately there were a lot of people lost and, you know, as musicians, i feel like this is how we give back. if we can play concerts and, you know, support everyone and raise money, there is nothing better we can do. >> ainsley: i know that we all love you but especially north carolina because parmelee, y'all started in parmelee, right? it's named after a town in north carolina. >> yeah. >> it is. >> ainsley: that's so cool. great. we're proud of you.
