>> bill: back to the middle east here. joe biden is in berlin, germany and john kirby is briefing reporters at the moment and made comments about the killing of sinwar. i mentioned a moment ago about a cease-fire suggesting the conditions are not right for it. remember now what hamas leadership what's left of it and sinwar's brother mohammed may be elevated to the new leader of hamas. we don't know that. if he is he would have a lot of say as to what conditions they would agree to if a cease-fire were to happen. one thing they have said is they want the israeli military out of gaza. and that's kind of a no-go for netanyahu. we'll watch that as we go throughout the day and into the weekend. let's come back home to north carolina hitting the polls despite lacking basic necessities in the aftermath of

hurricane helene. day two of early voting people are lining up in the key battleground state. remember, there were 25 counties, most of them rural in the western part of the state affected. dana marie mcnicholl is in asheville, north carolina. there were long lines yesterday and what are folks saying to you today? >> bill, we're seeing even longer lines. people waited over two hours to cast their vote yesterday. there is a real sense of priority when it comes to voter accessibility here in the swing state of north carolina. 80 early voting sites were expected to be open before the storm. it has dwindled to 76. four had to close. those were here in this county where there was a most devastation. despite that, like you are seeing now, people are lining up to vote. take a listen. >> this is a huge election and i think it's really going to set the course for the next ten years of this country. >> top priority. top priority.

i think politics has everything to do with this hurricane and our climate. >> there were originally 14 early voting sites set to open in the area. they just didn't have enough poll workers to staff them. so you can see ten are just open. over 350,000 people across the state of north carolina came out to early vote yesterday. this is truly an all hands on deck effort to make sure voters get here to the polls. fema, north carolina department of emergency management, north carolina national guard are all working to get internet service, portable restrooms and generators to counties that need them for the early voting sites. all sites do have power but not all have water. officials say they are deploying special sturdy tent-like structures to serve as election polling places where buildings were washed away. using absentee ballots this is very important. officials are in contact with

the u.s. post office to make sure the ballots get to people with no mailboxes. returning those absentee ballots are easy for voters here in western north carolina. back out here live again is a sense of energy and enthusiasm here. people have all ages early voting is very important. i do want to note last year north carolina passed a voter i.d. law requiring people to show their i.d. if anybody doesn't have that because of the storm there are exception storms on site. >> a lot of democratic votes in asheville. we'll see about the surrounding counties as we move forward. >> dana: new fox poll shows a surge in the percentage of voters who want to deport illegal immigrants. in 2015, 52% were in favor. now 67%. let's bring in joey jones. what is interesting to me in reading a lot of this it seems like the democrats all of a sudden are trying to erase 3 1/2 years of what everybody saw with their own eyes and now they are

shocked and dismayed that 67% of people think we need deportation of the illegal immigrants. it is like they just forget that those 3 1/2 years of the open borders happened. >> yeah, i guess subjectivity and anecdote is dismissed in politics. i have stats and figures. peoples' lived experience is the heart of politics and where you find your political views. immigration touches more people's live experience in a negative way than it ever has. i grew up in a town 75% mexican migrants to work in factories for cheap labor. that's not the case anymore. the migrants that came in the 1990s have kids and grandkids americans, that are much more georgians, faith, family, food and those things are conservative in nature. maybe not food. i'll let everybody have that. faith and family are huge and that's the integrated part of the assimilated part of that

culture. the reason i bring that up. when you throw in something like covid in 2020 where everyone's livelihoods is affected in some way where you have a renaissance in skilled labor among all americans and gig work in all americans. the jobs they let them have now people are seeing, entrepreneurs are saying that's the only way i can make a living for myself. why are we importing people for it? competition in jobs and culture, competition in places you pile on top of that the negative effects of immigration, drugs, crime. those aren't the same people that came here in the 1990s and 2000s to try to build this country. people see that. from the democrats' efforts to disperse it in other cities people are touched by it. >> bill: i saw the numbers this morning. it is staggering. a couple clips real thing. kamala harris the big interview, did not get an answer on this

question here. >> how many illegal immigrants would you estimate your administration has released into the country over the last 3 1/2 years? >> well i'm glad you raised the issue of immigration. i agree with you, it is a topic of discussion that people want to rightly have. and you know what i'm going to talk about. >> the number, 1 million, 3 million? >> let's get to the point, okay? the point is that we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired. >> bill: never got a number. donald trump from two hours ago on fox. >> 551 miles of wall. far more than i said i would build when i campaigned. i had a border where the drugs at the lowest level. human traffickers -- they traffic in women. everything was at the lowest level. i got kudos from -- the border patrol gave me, with thousands of people. unanimous. every one. they endorsed me. >> bill: here is the thing.

on this issue, it's black and white. trump has his position. she has hers. you saw what happened when she has been in charge. you saw what happened when trump was in charge. it's straight forward. >> the question is, you are vice president, he is president. your policies dictate immigration more than anything congress has done in the last 20 years. why did you reversal these orders and let all these people in and change remain in mexico? her response to that is nuanced but quite simple. well, congress needs to be involved. you have a message from kamala harris that says i've been doing it for the last three years and i can't do anything without congress's approval or health. trump says i'll executive order it until congress figures it out. one resonates. the other says if you play the blame game we can't get congress to pass anything.

why we put all our eggs in the make congress work basket on an issue that touches everybody now. >> dana: they showed this summer they could change course if they wanted. the point is the number. that's how you get to 67% of americans thinking they want deportation. joey jones, you are here all weekend. >> i'm here for gutfeld tonight and the weekend show. >> bill: enjoy the city. we'll get back to the killing of this leader of hamas becoming another hot button issue on the trail. will his death effect the election and how you vote? former president trump lagging badly among women voters. will the gender gap be a difference maker come november 5th? 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 sinwar was killed. not only is the main obstacle to cease-fire negotiations been removed and hopefully we can get that restarted with him now no longer in the position he was to block it. >> dana: that was john kirby moments ago entering the homestretch of the 2024 race. the death of hamas leader sinwar is another contentious issue. here is what vice president kamala harris said. >> hamas is decimated and its leadership is eliminated. this moment gives us an opportunity to finally end the war in gaza. >> dana: joining us now is former foreign policy advisor in the bush administration and host of the call me back podcast. that's not what she thought a few months ago in march of 2024.

watch. >> we have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in rafah would be a huge mistake. >> dana: if israel had listened to the biden-harris administration they wouldn't have ever been able to decimate the leadership of hamas, including sinwar, dan. >> dana, i have strenuously resisted over the last 24 hours pointing fingers criticizing various political figures because it is such an extraordinary day yesterday, the elimination of sinwar. the closest figure israel has to osama bin laden type. to put it -- we talked about this before. put it in scale and proportional sense. when sinwar and his team and hamas orchestrated on october 7th was the equivalent on a population basis to 33,

9/11. his elimination is a moment and inflection point and honor it and marvel at it as such. however, it's not just this one clip you just played, although that's so darmg. the administration went to extraordinary lengths to keep israel from going into rafah. their big concern quote, unquote going into rafah among other things. a number of concerns they had. one of them was israel would not be able to move the civilian population out of rafah for israel to engage in the operation they needed to do and civilians would be at risk. for all the pressure and pressure, once israel did it did if he file answer of the administration, they moved close to a million people in ten days.

they were always capable of doing that. this is a pattern throughout this war. while the biden administration has done extraordinary work getting israel the munitions it needed and weapons over time, with some exceptions, including right now, there has been consistent criticism from harris and biden the risk, the problems it would encounter, what it could not do and almost every time they have been proven wrong. israel would suffer the ten times number of casualties that they have suffered . they told israel not to respond to the iranian attack in april on april 13th. remember president biden said take the win and not respond and yet israel responded masterfully. in fact, some of the officials i spoke to in the biden administration off the record said that they were wrong. that what israel did was

important. the clip you played where vice president harris is saying don't go into rafah. well, rafah is where a lot of the hostages are, including american hostages as we know from the death of the killing of goldberg killed in rafah. and it is where the mastermind of october 7th was hiding out. >> dana: dan, can i get a very quick answer from you? fox polling trump trusted more to handle the mideast conflict in our recent poll. you know domestic politics here well. do you think that president trump won't win the entire american jewish vote but do you think he will do better than he did in 2020 with that segment? >> yes. the jewish vote tends to vote heavily democratic. i think the thing to watch is a handful of the battleground states where there is a sizeable jewish segment of the electorate. they don't need to vote overwhelmingly for republicans

but they just need to move marginally, pennsylvania, 350,000 jewish voters in 2020. pennsylvania 7 1/2 million voters in the entire electorate. if you get a small percentage to move to the republican column it could be decisive in a state of pennsylvania. >> dana: everyone should listen to his podcast. >> bill: kamala harris facing backlash for transgender surgeries for people in prison. the biden-harris student loan bail-outs are back and back at it. how much it will cost you when we continue. >> dana: preposterous. my active psoriatic arthritis joint symptoms held me back. don't let symptoms define you... emerge as you, with clearer skin. with tremfya®, most people saw 100% clear skin...

funded sex reassignment surgery while sitting on death row for murder over two decades ago. william la jeunesse is live in los angeles. was it a strategy or surgery, william? >> it was definitely a surgery. harris said she would follow the law, she told bret. as state attorney general she worked to insure that california was the first state to provide gender affirming surgery to trends gender inmates. that upset some voters including the family of tom and jackie robbed and killed in 2004 by john jacobson who got his reassignment surgery in prison thanks to a policy change that committed taxpayers to pay for gender affirming claim. a clip now used by trump in attack ads. >> surgery. >> for prisoners. >> every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access. >> jacobson robbed the hawks

aboard this yacht. tied them to an anchor and through them in the ocean because he wanted money for the surgery, 100% for the surgery. now called skyler he told the washington free beacon i received gender affirming surgery in prison. transitioning was tough but i made it. he is trying to transfer to a women's prison because he says i get along a lot better with females than i do the guys. we spoke to the victims' mother, gail o'neill. >> his life, although he is in prison but getting done what he wanted to have done. and then getting sent to a woman's prison. it is ridiculous. i think they should be punished, not rewarded. >> right now each state decides on what it provides to transgender inmates but it is being fought in the courts. back to you. >> dana: thank you for bringing

us the story. >> bill: here we go again. white house announcing another 4.5 billion in hand-outs at the taxpayers' expense. thus far the biden-harris administration has forgiven $175 billion in student debt relief for 5 million borrowers. i thought some of it was caught up in court. >> all of it is. the court keeps voting against the biden-harris administration. important to remember, 178 billion in taxpayer money that is being used to forgive these student loan debts and vice president kamala harris pledges to continue the program and expand it. the committee for responsible federal budget estimates that taxpayers will be on the hook for $870 billion to 1.4 trillion for all of the continuation of all the current loan forgiveness rules. in a statement vice president harris says i will continue to work to lower costs, make higher education more affordable and

relieve the burden of student debt. republicans see this hand-out as an overreach of presidential authority. >> biden-harris administration had no problem putting forward a student debt relief package which was unconstitutional, by the way. they did not go through congress. they did it on their own and waited for the courts to catch up with them. they are quick to move to do stuff like that. >> at every turn the biden-harris administration loses in court. the latest loss with an injunction against the new expanded rules for forgiving debt. the president and vice president say they won't stop. they are ignoring court ruling trying to change a little bit and a tweak here and there trying to get it through the courts and takes time for the courts to catch up and get that injunction in between those times they are still forgiving student debt. >> bill: when you get relief let us know. >> i'm still waiting for mine. i paid my loans off, ten years. >> bill: by then you'll lose your hair. >>
