this was all about politics for trump as her. they include cues vice president harris of lying about working at mcdonald's and she was a young woman. however the vice president pushed back insisting that's our time with the golden arches was very much real. >> i love it mcdonald's. i love it jobs. i like to see good jobs. i think it is inappropriate when somebody puts down all over the place that she worked at mcdonald's there is a big part of a resume that she worked at mcdonald's. she told us what a tough job it was she specifically worked at the french fry, to make the french fries. >> trump rally his supporters and latrobe that's outside of pittsburgh pretty generated quite a bit of controversy by talking about golf or arnold palmer manhood but polls show the race in the keystone state remains very close to her today from democratic governor josh shapiro who believes even now this race remains a true tossup. >> we are used to close elections here in pennsylvania.

i choose not to worry about that. i choose to work right through it. we understand this election will likely come down to tens of thousands of votes. >> governor shapiro is raising concerns with the new effort by trump supported billionaire businessman e long must to give away a million dollars away to people who support a potent trout pro trump pack up intimacy of trump talks about that when he takes his stage here. i got to mention a huge crowd here in lancaster. an indication there's a lot of exciting for trump and then battleground state it's the photo op for mcdonald's earlier today you will see everywhere in the next 24 hours. >> yes you will. by the will take my fries without politics please, just the salt. that's all i need just saying though, it was fun though. >> everyone is going to have an opinion. you're right about that absolutely. arthel: it is what it is been a big crowd behind you by that is good there in lancaster, pennsylvania.

communications, right, during and after the hurricane having better communication than they had before. we owe elon a lot. north carolina, georgia and some other areas have very little communication where they got them because of elon musk. i asked him to do it. question going to north killer tomorrow, what he hoped to accomplish there? >> just to let the people know i'm waiting. the government has been very bad to north carolina but the white house has been very, very bad to north carolina. the governor of georgia is doing a very good job. i don't how they treated georgia but the government is doing a very good job. but north carolina has been treated badly by the white house. so i'm going to let them know i am with them. >> you criticize you for having antonio brown speak at your rally? you're going to be with him at the game tonight are you concerned your proximity to him given the allegations he has? >> i don't know anything about the allegations. i don't know anything about it. i know he's a football player.

>> are criticizing or terror for proposal your trade policy is basically gibberish. you a response of that? >> policies are going to make this country rich. richer than it ever was. we've been taken advantage by every country in the world including our allies. including the european union. not only china by the way. in my traded policies will make us very rich. make tremendous numbers and jobs for take a place like detroit make up the motor capitol, the car capitol of the world. we will do that. our trade policies will make us very, very rich. elon musk is supporting me because he knows what's going to happen. drive the businesses outs and people out of the country. she got elected we have a 19209 to style depression not recession for this will be a 19209 style depression we don't

want that in our country are policies are done by very foolish people and stupid pe people. i don't think she can get elected. i can't imagine. you won't have any jobs in the country. [inaudible] arthel: president trump though the former president taking off the cuff questions from reporters. he is going to be heading over too the rally where we have mark meredith and of course marco bring his reports throughout the evening. so stay right here on fox for more. space bar she mentioned early vice president harris is stumping in georgia. urging americans ahead to the polls and now as early voting is underway in that state. she also warned voters about what she said are the dangers of the conservative project 2025 for the choice in this election is between compassion and chaos. alexandria hoff his life in atlanta that with the very latest on this campaign.

hi alexandria. >> good to be with you. today is all about outreach. particularly for one voting group. polls show among black voters vice president harris is falling behind the levels of support seen for typical democratic presidential candidates bid that includes president biden back in 2020. at today is about outreach. it's also crossing off something that harris says is on her bucket list. watch. ♪ ♪ ♪ happy birthday ♪ ♪ happy birthday ♪ ♪ >> that was scooby wonder there leading that birthday song but helping to celebrate the vice president's 60th birthday here in georgia predestined our second church stop of the day in jonesboro, georgia per this morning she received birthday wishes and delivered remarks at baptist church in stonecrest. this is part of the campaign souls to the polls effort to

encourage blackwater participation through ministry outreach. >> this is a moment that is challenging our fundamental values. in challenging us as americans and with people of faith. as the good samaritan reminds us, it is not enough to preach the values of compassion and respect. we must live them. >> harris held a rally here in atlanta last night the speech of special guest r&b star usher. before that lives owe help with get out to vote rally alongside the vice and vice president lizs hometown of detroit. here in atlanta had the vice president set now that al sharpton for an interview but she is now on her way to philadelphia. eric: alexander, thanks so much. arthel? >> do you think vp harris would be able to bring some these people up with her as republicans feel trump absolutely well for them in they're down ballot races?

>> trump a such an enigma in this regard. he tends to bring out people who only come out to vote for him. i believe this is special and the 2020 election i had a much closer race than i did the term prior. a lot of it was a trump effect. arthel: one voting bloc could have a big sway in this year's election. that new polling data michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin leading in senate races while former president trump holds a lead or is tied with vice president harris and three of the four swing states but let's bring in doctor lord wright political scientist at princeton university. lauren, split ticket voting is when you vote for a candidate and the other party in a down ballot race. so, who has a better chance of driving down ballot race results

trump or harris? and who is driving business to their party and who is driving business away? >> it is very hard to tell. certainly there's cases both the candidates at the top of the ticket making harder for down ballot candidates. if you think of bob casey in pennsylvania for instance, he has campaigned so hard on a moderate message. it's pro tariff if you can believe that in his latest campaign ad. he is campaigning on tax cuts and potentially he is out pulling harris in pennsylvania and there's other states were trump hurts mary hogan in maryland, that's a blue state through and through but he is a popular former governor. you could see moderate republicans they'll take a chance on him but they probably do not like the idea of trump at the top of the ticket. cuts both ways. arthel: speaking of both ways its flip that around again are

there any down ballot races you are focusing on that are outperforming the top of the ticket? >> yes. i think bob casey is a good example of that. i think these races are were ts a really popular democrat incumbents are races where republicans are perhaps overconfident. ohio is a red statement brown is been there for a long time. a lot of people like him. i would say the same exact thing about jon tester and montana. it is a red state, yes. it's a year were people angry with democrats for their anger is biden and harris. but these are people who have run and red places because they have enough peeling statewide message. i do not think republicans can just set those aside and say this is a good year for us. there may be some surprises there. arthel: what about they're down ballot races performing not as good as a candidate for example some republican candidates

trying to out trump trauma. but there is only one donald trump. >> oh yes. kerri at lake in arizona is a great example of that. you know, she is more maga than the former president himself. that does not seem to be working for her. it's also a state where abortion is very much on the ballot. there is an outright ban and now they have 15 weeks they allow abortion up until. this is a constant issue and some of these states. where weight may have had a very strong reaction to rowe being overturned. but it is still on voters mind. even like a state like arizona where the immigration issue absolute benefits republicans bridget kerry lake has driven 70 moderate republicans away and her opponents has a border security message. some democrats are getting the message that pay republicans are doing well and we might shift a little closer in that direction.

arthel: listen, no doubt this will be an nailbiter until the end. neither side can take their foot off the pedal at this point. any races or trends that you are focusing on the home stretch? >> oh well, it sounds almost too obvious to say. but frankly we have no idea how these hurricanes r recently are going to affect voter turnout. whether they are even able to get to the polls or can concentrate on something other than taking care of their homes and their families. so all the way from north carolina to north florida. a lot of these districts that were strict they voted for trump in 2020 were utterly destroyed by these hurricanes. i don't think we know how that's going to play out. and that is just a logistical challenge in addition to a political one. arthel: definitely a logistical challenge for sure. it is my understanding all the folks in charge of the elections

are making their best effort to get that voting ballots to the residence they are getting them to the polls. let's hope they are able to -- bring the going through enough the way it they can vote. alright dr. lauren wright, it's almost here. we will see what happens, thank you. eric: celebrations turned deadly in coastal georgia a ferry dock collapsed on sapelo island living at least seven people dead and several others injured this happened during an event honoring the descendents of black slaves there. authority said they are investigating what led to what they call a catastrophic fai failure. jonathan theriot live in atlanta with the very latest on this shocking incident last night. >> hi eric. yes, very shocking for george authority's are blaming structural failure for the collapse of that aluminum gangway at a ferry dock on sapelo island. it happened saturday as hundreds were flocking to the georgia coastal island which is accessible only by boat for a

festival celebrating the community, descendents of slaves who have kept to many of their unique traditions alive to this day. at least 20 people fell into the water. seven died. speaking at a church outside of atlanta this morning vice president kamala harris acknowledge the tragedy on the georgia coast. >> i think all of the first responders who acted so quickly. and of course our administration has been in touch with state and local officials to offer any needed support. i know, on behalf of all of us here, that we pray for all of te who are affected. quick shortly after the incident georgia governor brian can't posted on social media, the great marty, the girls a in my heart broken by today's a tragedy on sapelo island. state and local first responders continue to work this active scene we ask all georgians join us in praying for those lost. for those still in harms way and for their families. and in addition to the seven fatalities authorities say

arthel: jury selection set to is set tobegin tomorrow and the manslaughter trial of daniel pennpending the marine caught on video putting homeless jordan neely in that chokehold. police eight neely was unarmed his family said is only asking passengers for food. but penny's lawyer said it was an act of self-defense but let's go to cb cotton with more. >> hi arthel we just heard back from daniel penny's attorney. he told us in part they look forward to selecting a fair and impartial jury in this case. we want to mention protest could erupt for jury selection.

this case has really become a flashpoint for conversations about race, crime, and mental health in this country. the jury selection could last up to two weeks for daniel penney. he is the white marine veteran captured on cell phone video placing jordan neely a black homeless man and a fatal chokehold on the subway and may of last year. at the issue is what led up to it and what was penny's intent? penny has pleaded not guilty to second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. prosecutors state witnesses differ and threat assessments in a recollection about neely behavior on the train. cell phone video from a subway writer captured the chokehold about two minutes after it first began. according to prosecutors who say the entire chokehold lasted approximately six minutes. penny's defense team said the marine veteran was not trying to kill or hurt neely but instead trying to protect others who felt scared.

neely who once performed as a michael jackson impersonator was homeless. he had reported to prior arrests including a troubling history of attacks on subway writers. his family's attorneys have pointed out that neely had no weapon while on the train. they said neely had mental health struggles" demons of following his mother's murder. they claim penny felt entitled to take neely life pretty faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on the second degree manslaughter charge and up to four years if convicted on the criminally negligent homicide charge. online a fundraiser for penny's defense raised more than $3 million. arthel, this trial could last up to six weeks. back to you. arthel: all right cb cotton live right here in front of our building thank you. eric: washington is struggling to try to deal the migrant crisis nearly 100,000 migrants across into the u.s. each month

the texas department of public safety, originally stop the group of over 200 illegal migrants were among the 57 unaccompanied kids. some as young as eight years old. under the biden administration, illegal crossings have grown steadily. over 2 million came to the u.s. last fiscal year. the numbers are still down after a record high of two-point to million in 2022. lieutenant chris from the texas department of public safety joint is now. good to see you. can you describe these 200? it's so unusual which shows some photos. what is this group and what are they doing now to get the kids in? >> good afternoon. yes, that's it fairly large group we've ever encountered as far as a police state agency. fifty-seven unaccompanied children that were among this group of 200. this has been happening daily n the last two weeks and it texas we got we are encountering this

very large groups anywhere from 100 -- 200. in those groups you have 20 or 30 unaccompanied children but also special interest immigrants from other countries as well. what's a very striking about the number of unaccompanied children is the factor singing on a daily basis. what really illustrates want to share the images on the videos, really underscores the perilous journey of these children are making from their home countries to the united states. and how, because of the government policies there is loopholes were criminal smugglers exploit and take full advantage of by that's when they continue to smuggle these children across various countries into the united states alone. these children only come across they have a piece of paper and an address to an alleged sponsor which we do not know who the sponsor is and how they get there once they turn the children over the border patrol but our interaction, our state troopers, national guard soldiers is very brief we come

across these children but all we can do is check for signs of physical abuse. we document what we see, the pieces of paper anything that shows what they may have we document that before he turned over to border patrol. it just really highlights this is still an ongoing problem and we are seeing an increase in unaccompanied children. >> lieutenant, do parents give up their children and put them on this journey? is that how they get them to the united states through these smugglers? who are the kids, how does that work? >> exactly brisk book and to some of these children myself being on the ground and i have asked them how do you get here? where are you going? where you going to the specific location? for the most part these criminal smugglers that are exploiting these children they instill fear in these children. they're not saying a criminal paid -- the family page at the curb criminal across they have that fear if they talk to police

they may not make it to their destination but that is how much leverage these criminals have over these children, the power and control. but for the most part when these children are coming from their home countries who ever is supervising these children whether they be or their friend there paying a criminal smugglers for the various countries. another smugly will then take over and smuggle them into the united states and make it to the final destination but for the most part once i get across the river, turn themselves into border patrol they are free of the next destination. which leads to these alleged sponsors. eric: you describe once they get to that process they are released, a they released to anybody? or themselves to an alleged sponsor what happens to them and what will happen to them in the best couple of years? >> the disturbing part we don't know even us as a police agency in the state of texas we do not know exactly what happens. there has been reports over 32000 children are unaccounted

for. a lot of these are not vetted but we do not know what happens to them we can only expect to manyof these children will be trafficked for sex trafficking or labor trafficking that is the reality of the situation when many of these children are coming across by themselves. with no guardian. the work we're doing right on the board are state troopers, national guard, everyone's doing a phenomenal job but it's very challenging task when you come across these children. our state troopers over at 900 children that were left to come across the border by themselves. it's the reality these children are vulnerable. they're in a difficult situation. these criminal predators are preying on these children coming across into the united states. eric: heartbreak example of the migrant crisis of the southern border that we see. lieutenant of the texas department of public safety. lieutenant, good to see you. thank you for joining us. >> thank you so much. eric: of course, arthel? arthel: goodbye demonstration is investigating a major security

breach after intelligence on israel's plan to attack iran were leaked online. this as tehran is vowing to continue supporting its network of terror groups. the very latest from israel and the white house coming up next. and you're rich as hell. we're going to give you tax cuts. i am not rich as hell. i work hard. i scrape to get by. donald trump wants to give tax breaks to billionaires, but kamala harris has plans to help us. she's going to crack down on price gouging and cut taxes for working people like me. i voted for donald trump before, but this time i'm voting for kamala. ff pac is responsible for the content of this ad.
