to signed officials to brief them twice a week on the status of this investigation until it concludes. >> dana: before we go, we'll do this on "the five" last name. an airport in new zealand rolling out a limit on goodbye hugs. cap their failures at three minutes. the rule is designed to prevent traffic jams. >> bill: so make it quick? >> dana: three minutes to me feels like a long time to say goodbye. >> bill: i agree. >> dana: you showed me the map. how many traffic jams do they have there? it's not jfk. >> bill: population is 130,000. people live there. if you studied the geography of new zealand it's way down. next up, antarctica. >> dana: harris faulkner is up next. >> harris: president biden just

brought some unwanted attention to vice president kamala harris's campaign trying to convince voters she will be different than biden. well, she might have to prove that. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." a lot of heat for the campaign of kamala harris and joe biden current president after his remarks about former president donald trump. watch. >> president biden: i know this sounds bizarre and if i said this five years ago you would lock me up. we have to lock him up. [applause] politically lock him up. lock him out. that's what we have to do. >> harris: he is trying to clarify there. he has done it since. politically lock him up. well, that seems to be kind of what's happening if you want to play a game with weaponization of government, which that's the accusation on the table. the trump campaign accusing biden of saying the quiet part

out loud. former president trump advisor stephen miller posted this. public admission of what we all knew. every bit of the communist regime lawfare against president trump was directed by the ruling democrat party. trump's campaign is asking the vice president now to condemn her boss's comments. so far she has not. president biden was also part of vp harris's latest interview. hallie jackson pressed her on her boss's mental acuity. >> i know that joe biden is not on the ballot. he dropped out of this race. i want to ask you and it was largely because of that debate performance in juvenility you defended him as you were campaigning for another four years for president biden. can you say you were honest for the american people what you saw in those moments with president biden?

>> of course, joe biden is an extremely accomplished, experienced, and -- and capable in every way that anyone would want as their president. >> you never saw anything like what happened on debate night behind closed doors with him? >> it was a bad debate. >> that's the reason you are here and he is not running for the top of the ticket. >> you would have to ask him if that's the only reason why. >> what do you think? >> i'm running for president of the united states. joe biden is not. and my presidency will be about bringing a new generation of leadership to america. >> harris: did you hear that? you'll have to ask him why or if that's the only reason why he left the debate. was that the only reason? senior white house correspondent jackui heinrich with more. there is some intrigue around

this issue of her being different and now maybe how they tend not to appear to support each other. >> it was interesting to watch and seemed like she really didn't want to get into the sensitivity about what we all witnessed, which was party leaders really forcing this decision. obviously president biden has not been a major force on the campaign trail. in part because he wasn't animating the crowds at the campaign wanted and that is what forced these party leaders after that debate to change out their horse. but harris has had to answer whether there was anything more behind the scenes that caused her to question the president's mental fitness because it speaks to whether the american people can trust her. >> can the american people trust you in these moments? you feel like you never saw anything like that from president biden. >> i have worked with joe biden whether hours and hours and hours over these four years, whether it be in the situation room or the oval office.

joe biden is the one who was able to bring nato together. he has done the work that has been about being a leader on what we have done to fix so much of what has been broken in terms of the economy because of donald trump's mismanagement. i speak with not only sincerity but with a real first-hand account of watching him do this work. i have no reluctance in saying that. no, of course i don't. >> a circuitous answer but she gets to it. no, i didn't see anything else to cause me to question his mental fitness. whether biden would have been forced to withdraw if he hadn't had such a bad night at that dey debate. harris lacking in momentum and democrats nervous about they should have changed thafr horse.

what if joe biden was the better candidate all along? it is in the time that is left to campaign, the party, democrats, are pulling out all the celebrities, eminem with obama and tim walz yesterday in detroit to try to fix the lagging momentum. >> i think vice president harris supports a future for this country. >> i was feeling some kind of way following eminem. [cheers and applause] i notice my palms are sweating, knees weak, arms are heavy. >> biden might not be running for office but casting a long shadow that harris is having a long time straddling as a new way forward and while also taking credit for the successes under his administration, harris. >> harris: you were the last person in the room on every decision including the debacle and deadly exit from afghanistan

to everything else. now you were not in the room? yeah, it's tough. jackui heinrich, thank you. not tough to just tell the truth. jason chaffetz, fox news contributor and former republican congressman from utah. so how important is this issue? isn't it also interesting that while kamala harris has to deal with how different or not different she is from joe biden, something else is heating up. that is the fact she has focused all her energy now on trump. >> well, that's the only thing she has got. she doesn't have a policy to compel people to come to the polls. she is upside down on everything. everything she told us, every single step of the way about the economy, safety, security, the border, about inflation, about what's going on overseas, she is backwards. she has no plans to deal with energy. no plan to deal with illegal immigration. of course the only thing you'll go with is being anti-trump.

look, these last few days they've been really bad days for kamala harris. when she actually has to do an interview and answer a question she makes things worse, not better. >> harris: talk to me a little bit about the down stretch. you held office before and you've campaigned and you were chairman of a committee so the campaign continues even once you are on the hill, i would imagine. what is this last stretch of 13 days supposed to look like for these candidates? you say she is failing. how do you measure that? >> well, she took the day off yesterday. that's a pretty bad sign. she has three senators on the democratic side of the aisle, wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania running ads touting their proximity to donald trump and his economic plan. they don't mention kamala harris. they mention donald trump. that's a really bad sign if you are trying to become the next president of the united states of america. and everybody in the world saw the mental decline of joe biden over the last year or so.

for her to say i didn't see anything, are you kidding me? it was there for everybody to see. there was a reason why he was booted out of the party and she was installed. she can't be candid about that leads you to believe she won't be candid about anything that really matters. >> harris: 13 days to go and some democrats -- you said it first. she was off yesterday. she said her team said on her behalf she was getting ready for the telemundo interview. she had a couple of interviews. democrats some of them aren't happy about this move. the harris campaign is planning to take more time off or out on this final stretch to make some red state stops. vice president kamala harris, who heads to pennsylvania today, will hold a rally in texas on friday. not one of those states is in play for kamala harris. it is not time off but it is time-out from shoring up her

blue wall. democrats are freaking out over deadlocked polling between the v.p. and former president trump. and former president obama had an interesting take on the current numbers. >> we know this election is going to be tight. as a country we've been through a lot over the last few years. we forget sometimes. historic pandemic wreaked havoc on communities, families, businesses, and then disruptions from the pandemic caused price hikes. >> harris: the "wall street journal" writes this. democrats are growing more anxious over deadlocked race. harris's inability to establish a lead and stirring fears in a party scarred by its 2016 lost. journalists from outlet reporting the warn signs are clear for the vice president. on queue, some of the liberal media melting down a bit. >> i'm starting to worry about the polls because i see a lot of

the media saying that he is leading and everybody is getting nervous and all that. >> it's why they're saying it. >> they are doing that on purpose. >> i don't see how my fellow americans, how this election is close. >> how did we get here? how is the race this close? >> this race will be far too close. unfortunately we have a fascist ground swell in this country mainly among white men. >> why are they saying the election is way too close to call? what is this election really about? what is it going on here that allowed this election to be so close? >> harris: black men, white men. do they not like men voters at this point? this is a lot. >> they've never understood the american voter. kamala harris, come campaign in provo, utah. maybe that will help drive you

to victory. the idea she is spending time in states she has absolutely no chance of winning is stunning. she did an event with liz cheney. i thought her whole campaign was supposed to be about joy. are you kidding me? do you think anybody follows liz cheney out there and says goodness, that was joyful and really good? this makes absolutely no sense. it is one of the worst-run campaigns. the problem is, kamala harris is the problem. more kamala harris means she loses votes. more cowbell leads to her declining in the polls. i think the campaign has said hide her, don't do interviews, go to states that don't matter and hopefully people will not see and hear you. it is exactly what happened in 2020. she came out strong, was right at the top raising the most money and the first to drop out because the more people heard from her, the more they disliked her to the point she had to drop out before even the first vote.

>> harris: who beat her? her boss, the one that they shoved aside and then in an interview a few minutes ago as we showed she said you have to ask him, meaning biden, if there is any other reason why he left other than that debate. yeah, that's the friend. new "washington post" poll shows slightly more registered voters in battleground states say they trust former president trump over kamala harris to handle threats to democracy. those numbers appear to undercut the vice president's argument that trump is a threat to democracy. yesterday president biden doubled down on that argument while urging people to vote. >> president biden: folks, there is so much at stake. so please, i know you will all vote but please call your neighbors, get your friends and relatives, get them to vote. because this is the nation's democracy in my view depends on it. >> harris: your reaction. >> that's pretty rich coming

from the party that installed somebody as their nominee without getting a single vote. again, total opposite is true. it is just projection in the worst possible way. by the way, put him in new hampshire? good, glad he is campaigning there at this point. >> harris: you know what was interesting, too, quickly to follow up. you said she is going to places, kamala harris, taking time out trying to shore up the democrat vote in those blue wall states to go to places you say she can't win. maybe she is looking and saying trump is going to new york, yeah, trump is coming here because they have a big issue with all the sourcing that went away from its own citizens. chicago knows a little taste of this, to pay the bills of the illegal immigrants that have come in. he will be in madison square garden. maybe she is trying to be trump. >> it's also the media center of this country and it is going to absolutely rock. he is actually trying to make it

work for him in new york and new jersey. it is not outside of his reach. >> harris: jason chaffetz, always good to see you. thank you. >> i don't know that i heard a clearance from you on the issue of gender affirming care. what do you want the community to know looking for a full throated backing from you for trans americans? >> harris: the vice president dodged that question more than once. the issue is becoming a key one in the race to the white house. plus more young voters than ever are eligible to vote for this very first time. but will they? and for whom? and what are the issues driving them if they do go to the polls? what's making them stay home if they don't? my special round table of young leaders in "focus" next.

veteran homeowners, car payments are getting out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans. you've got a pepto predicament, ace. you overdid it on the loaded fries and now your gut is in the gutter. undo it with pepto fast melts.

so you can keep on rolling. [bowling pins knocked down] when you overdo it, undo it with pepto bismol. (♪) i take you, body in sickness and in health. (♪)

through good times, (♪) bad times, (♪) and all the in-between times. (♪) for as long as we shall live. (♪) (♪) (man) look at this silly little sailboat... these men of means with their silver spoons, eating up the financial favors of the 1%. what would become of them when they discover robinhood gold allows others to earn their very liberal rates on idle cash, unlimited deposit bonuses and handsome retirement matching? they would descend into chaos. merciless chaos.

>> harris: with a razor at this time presidential race they're -- young voters, a group that typically leans democrat. polling is showing trump has made gains among young people since the last presidential election in 2020. recent fox poll shows 54% of voters under the age of 30 support vice president harris. 45% support trump. that's a margin of just nine points. in 2020, biden won the youth vote by 25 percentage points. so what is happening with young people? in this election, 8 million young americans will be able to vote for the very first time. if you add up all of the members of generation z, it is 41

million that are eligible to vote. but just how many of them are registered? a recent report shows an increase in young voter registration rates since july. however, 21 states are falling short of that registration seen in 2020. so they are eligible but they aren't registered to vote. in a focus, special round table of young voters now, i want you to meet some really special people. cj pearson, co-chair reed cleland. vp and youngest court land county new york legislator. tiktok influencer and brown is here. rock stars among us. cj, start with you. you can be eligible. it is your first time to vote.

why aren't people registering at the number we saw who were young in 2020? >> a lot of apathy. my grandmother told me if you don't vote, you can't complain. i have a lot to complain about. high inflation, record high gas prices and americans can't thrive. they are busy focusing how to survive under the biden-harris administration. i think we need young people to vote because it's our future on the ballot. if we don't make our voices heard who will speak for us? >> it's an interesting time to be a young voter. for the first time if we loop in the older gen zers, young people make up the vast majority of the largest voting block in america and there seems to be a disconnect. what we're truly looking for in our next president are authenticity. they're tired of being pandered tour and campaign trail slogans.

we look for a real person willing to stand up for real people. >> harris: you mentioned celebrities. that's what they are breaking out on the left right now. >> shockingly usher, liz owe, eminem don't seem to be selling the democratic party to young people. >> harris: i didn't know there were older gen zers. >> not geriatric ones. >> harris: what will drive young voters? >> it's great to be here with you, harris. what i noticed, i've been to every state working on a campaign except alaska. millions of young people feel disenchanted with the entire political process feeling these adults leading racked up 35 million of death. the reason we have wars and chronic disease and millions of young people are looking at donald trump for the first time saying he looks like a change agent in this election.

kamala harris very much looks like politics as usual. the same swamp creatures around for decades will be there with kamala harris and every turn recently she hasn't been able to gave substantial answer how she is different. >> harris: that's interesting because as vice president she is president of the same senate that she was a member of before she became vice president. i hadn't thought of it that way. reid, you have run for office as the youngest in your county. first of all when you hear some of these concerns, how do you address being different? because kamala harris can't figure it out. how to address being different than the guy you work with every day who says you are always the last woman in the room for every major decision? >> i appreciate the opportunity to be here and thank fox news. great to be with all of you. it is really important we have an opportunity to engage with each other ahead of what is a really, really critical day in our democracy. as to the celebrity point, i think that there is only one celebrity running in this race,

donald trump and he has his fame because of the number of years that he was a tv star and all of that. so i think young people just, like everybody else, like my constituents, understand that the system in washington, d.c., like albany, is corrupt, it is undermining american democracy, because of the billions and billions of dollars that flow through our political process and influence the politicians who put their hands in the cookie jar. medicare and medicaid. it really matters to working people. >> harris: look at pennsylvania now. $538 million just for that race. not going to the areas necessarily that you are talking about but just money in the race. >> absolutely. >> harris: young voters' top issues, economy is the top issue. followed by abortion, inflation, cost of living, immigration and character or competence of the

candidate. "washington post" poll shows 43% of voters ages 18-25 are more likely to be uncommitted. so not really registered with either party and may not know how they want to vote. a larger share than any other age group. how at this point, cj, can you not know for whom you would like to vote? >> it's a mystery to me. i'm reminded why i should vote for president trump every time i go to a grocery store and fill up a gas tank. something on the minds of every voter every time they swipe their credit card under this administration. >> harris: you are talking to young people and you are active in social media. i see that and other forms of media. when you talk with young people what are they saying the reason why they can't make up their minds right now? what has gone wrong or right for either of these candidates >> the gas lighting and the fear of -- they are afraid of what social media will say about them if they support donald trump.

>> harris: you think it is similar to 2016? >> i think so. people realize we can't afford to support kamala harris. we cannot afford four more years of the same disastrous biden-harris economic policies. i think we have a silent majority that comes out and speaks resoundingly in favor of the america first movement. >> each candidate first with kamala harris. what would young people like to hear. we have 13 days left. what do you think they want to hear from her and where does she need to go in particular? >> what's missing from the kamala harris campaign in terms of messaging to young people is an understanding of the america we live in today. we say we live in two different americas based on political and ideological divide. but a generational divide on both sides of the aisle. we've seen a difficult connection with young people and the national identity crisis our culture is facing. we can't answer where we're going, where we came from, what we want to survive in terms of traditions and bring it into a future. elected officials can't answer

the question what's is woman today without rustling some feathers. i think young people are looking for a strategic movement forward, a redefinition of the american identity and in many ways a cultural revolution 1776 style to reclaim a country we're proud to call home again and to the future. >> harris: a quick follow-up for you. i'm about the same age at kamala harris and i got cut in that response, i think. a big enough generational difference between you and your age and age group and kamala harris that you feel like she doesn't maybe understand why the economy would be important to you just to pull an example. >> certainly. every social issue under the sun as well. i'm a young woman pandered to on the campaign trail about the only thing i'm allowed to care about arequired to harris is a right to abortion. she is failing to recognize for voters under 45, only 9% support the all access abortion agenda including abortion through all

nine months of pregnancy that kamala harris is running on on the campaign trail. nine in ten voters support some restrictions on some or all abortions. a clear disconnect where the culture of america is today. we're looking for someone to bring a new generation of leadership to washington, new ideas, fresh perspective. it is not happening with a kamala harris regime. >> harris: fascinating that some young voters have said, like some of you hear that you would vote for trump. he is generationally farther away. we've seen the playbook before. kamala harris is leaning on big celebrities to wooh young voters. she appeared in a video and who spoke at her recent rally in detroit. >> do you know them? >> no. we all stand.

we all stand. >> in the curb we're all family. >> if you ask me if america is ready for a first woman president? i only got one thing to say. it's about damn time! >> harris: i've said it before. not mad at her for the gorgeous white pant suit. that's not the point. the point is what was the point of that? >> exactly. i think kamala harris is coasting on vibes. housing crisis is the number one issue for our generation. how can i afford a home and equity in an asset like that? how can i afford to go to the movies? faith and family are important to millions of young people. they want to settle down, have kids, buy a home. much harder under the biden-harris regime. >> harris: you were an advisor to robert kennedy junior this

cycle. i read you brought him together with donald trump on the trail. how did that happen and what was the calculus with young voters as rfk junior was added. >> some of us who saw there wasn't maybe a clear path to victory at that point. i thought it is always better to have a seat at the table 10% of something than to go home empty-handed and you want to influence policy for the better. as early as january 20th i was pushing bobby, go talk to trump and see what you can do about the issues you are passionate about. i'm happy to see this unification. >> harris: childhood diseases we're talking about with more processed foods at an early age. reid, i want your perspective. you said donald trump is the only real celebrity here. hollywood has some deep pockets. i don't know that kamala harris needs more money. what is the calculus she is

doing on this. >> the one president we can't afford is donald trump. he was the president who passed a tax cut bill where 83% of the benefits went to the top 1%. >> harris: so are you -- what do you want to see that is different with kamala harris? >> kamala harris has laid out an agenda for working people. 82 pages. all this talk about kamala harris hasn't laid out. she has laid out an agenda. 82 pages long. >> harris: is it enough to win your vote? >> absolutely. i and my constituents, we cannot afford a donald trump presidency. we can't afford the conflicts that he puts us into abroad. we can't afford, for example, kamala has said we need to get a cease-fire now. now in the middle east. >> harris: so my question for you, i want everybody at the table to feel like they can have an open conversation, i will ask the first follow up to that. when you say gotten us into

situations abroad, there were no new wars under his presidency. >> that's not quite true. i don't accept that. donald trump may have -- there were several deals under his presidency that were between countries that weren't at war in the first place. >> one war that president trump got us involved us, name it. >> he increased drone strikes >> can you name one war he got us involved in? >> he moved the embassy in jerusalem which aggravated the palestinian/israel conflict. >> harris: everything ago rah vats them. >> the larger point that camp hair and joe biden ran as a great unifyer. i've been around for five decades and have all this experience. since he took office war in ukraine, war in israel. a war at the southern border with the immigration crisis and millions of people coming. housing crisis. biden having experience and kamala has well and reaping the

horrible repercussions of this experience. >> the covid relief bill that provided billions, the inflakes reduction act. >> she cast the vote. she cast a tiebreaking vote for the american rescue plan. trillions of dollars in debt. the interest on that debt will cripple our generation. >> on economic issues, foreign policy, international conflict and cultural issues americans are dealing with there is a dichotomy of choice for young people. business as usual in the system that you claim is unbelievably corrupt in washington, d.c. or what we're seeing ohs a unity party for the first time with classical liberals, republicans coming together to fight against that very establishment and provide lasting peace, economic stability. cultural identity for americans

to identify with again and why 43% of voters under 25 necessarily haven't felt committed to that very establishment on both sides of the aisle. we are looking for that excitement in the unity party that has been so cleverly put together. >> harris: your thoughts. reid, great to have everybody here. we need every perspective and glad that everybody -- i sat back and let you guys jump in because that's what a round table is about. i just want to ask you we opened with what reasons do people have to sit home. are you talking with young democrat voters who are planning not to vote or are they on fire to vote for kamala harris? >> people are upset about atrocities about the palestinian people. >> harris: they're unhappy with the policies. >> that have been commit ed by several administrations. i would like to see her stronger getting a cease-fire right now in palestine. >> hasn't she been the last one

in the room for all these big decisions? she is like who is this guy? when i get into office. sweetheart, you have been there 1400 days. should have, could have, would have. we've heard it from kamala harris a thousand times. >> all these plans and concepts and plans she is putting out. she had four years to do all these great and amazing things. you talked about the inflation reduction act earlier. gave money to the middle class to go after middle class americans. >> all the people giving to the harris campaign. >> they are targeting middle class americans. the audit rate for middle class americans is higher than the top 1%. >> she proposed a middle class tax cut. >> what has she done? you are talking about proposals. >> harris: i will cut in here a little bit. she has had 3 1/2 years in office. that's not just a talking point on the right. it is true. what you are saying on the left is it's also true, voters need to get out and vote.

you are proofing that right now. you are invested in voting. no matter how anybody votes. my dad fought for the country, vote. i'm glad you guys were all here. >> presidential elections matter. state elections matter. local elections matter. local officials affect people's lives every day. >> harris: 200 million followers you guys? god bless you all. when it comes to young voters, especially young men. he plans to sit down with joe rogan on friday. after this moment on the debate stage. what some called the sleeper issue of the election is blowing up. >> she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison. this is a radical left liberal that would do this.

>> harris: vice president kamala harris once was boasting about paving the way for gender surgeries for prison inmates. it's on tape. now seems to be ducking questions on the issue. steve hilton in "focus" next. [crowd cheering] sore throat got your tongue? mucinex instasoothe sore throat medicated drops, uniquely fomulated for rapid relief that lasts and lasts. that's my babyyy! try our new sugar-free cough drops. instasoooooothe! i brought in ensure max protein

[cheers and applause] we're going to make a play for new york. hasn't been won in many decades. with what's going on in new york between the illegal migrants and the crime they're causing and hurting people so badly and all of the problems in new york, we'll give it a hell of a shot. >> harris: former president donald trump making a splashy pitch to voters this sunday in

new york city's madison square garden. a recent poll shows he is margin ali a head of where he landed against joe biden in 2020 in this deep blue state from which we broadcast every day. still online trolling. well, the trolls are feeling the need to disrupt attendance for the rally. they're snapping up seats with no intention of going. they hope to create a whole bunch of empty space in the venue. alexis mcadams is at madison square garden. alexis. >> well, a lot of people in new york city thought they would see the headliner at madison square garden as former president donald trump. planning on doing it for months and thinks he will have a major turnout. not everybody is excited to see him on stage. they're registering for tickets hoping to mess with turnout. look on your screen. what they've been posting on social media trying to rev people up to get on and log onto try to register for a ticket and

then not come. they are hoping not to fill up those seats. these people might think it's a pretty sly event. the first will be first come, first serve. it doesn't matter. it is not how it works to prevent things like this from happening in the first place. president trump is not focused on the trolls but focused on filling up the garden. >> holds 18 to 19,000. we have a floor and it sold out in three hours. that's a great honor. >> so this is going to be trump's third rally in the state so far this election cycle. those are two of them you are looking at. the large and di verse crowd in the south bronx in may. another one out on long island last month. he is making a play to win new york. he has lost the state in the last two elections by more than

20 percentage points. two of those young voters and talk to people across the country including in deep blue new york there are people fed up with the migrant crisis and the payments they are putting in for gas, groceries in new york. that is what could turn some people to vote republican. that have never done it before. see what happens. >> harris: i'm glad you caught a little bit of that. our future is in good hands, smart kids. >> i think so. >> harris: great report always. >> do you believe the transgender americans should have access to gender affirming care in this country? >> i believe we should follow the law. >> do you believe they should have that act sneeze >> that is a determination of what doctors will make in terms of what's necessary. let's understand that donald trump is running tens of millions of dollars in ads to talk about two cases to distract from the fact that his policy and plan is also to take away

the affordable care act. >> i don't know i heard a clearance from you on the issue of gender affirm care. >> i believe all people should be treated with dignity and respect period. >> harris: reminiscent to when bret bare said no, vice president, i don't know what you are talking about. kamala harris is dodging on her positions on transgender issues now. last night she gave a series of non-answers when pressed about transgender americans' access to treatments and surgeries. in 2019 remember she has run before. in 2019 she took credit for a california policy giving prisoners access to taxpayer funded sex change surgeries. >> i made sure they changed the policy in the state of california so that every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access to the medical care that they desired

and need. >> harris: that just makes its own presidential political ad apparently. former president trump with this. >> he murdered a father of three sentenced to life in prison. kamala harris pushed to use tax dollars to pay for his sex change. >> harris: the issue is back in the headlines after new developments in the case of a california serial killer. in a letter published by the "washington free beacon" he claims to have received transgender surgery while on death row. the mother of one of his victims talked with fox. >> now he is living his life, although he is in prison. he is 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. >> harris: steve hilton, fox news contributor. steve, your top line thought on this. >> first of all, that general

sentiment there i think they should be punished, not rewarded you could apply that to what is going on across the board in terms of crime in california. the line from the jackson in the intervuchlt i don't think i heard a clearance from you. that sums up the kamala harris campaign. why? because this reveals yet again how fake she really is. she is not a politician with any kind of principles or convictions or beliefs that she holds firmly. she just says whatever is convenient at the time, whatever is politically expedient. when she was pandering to the left it was extremism. now when she is terrified it will hurt her politically it's no, no, i don't want to say. it is absolutely serious because when you have someone like that in a position of power, you have no idea what they will do. if they have no bedrock of belief or principle, they could do anything. and you are talking about a job

as serious as president of the united states, that's absolutely terrifying. >> harris: i don't know if you caught some of our young voter panel a few minutes ago we did a round table. a couple of them mentioned the term to get young voters to come out authenticity. and that's the opposite of what you are saying. i think you hit on something here that is consistent perhaps across generations. >> 100%. that's why we talk about the mcdonalds thing last weekend as it's kind of fun and all the rest of it. there is something serious about it. something deeply true about why trump is now doing well and kamala harris's campaign is collapsing. because it was so authentic in every single way. it was a political stunt but authentic to trump. everyone knows he loves mcdonalds. elites sneer at him because he loves mcdonalds. when he went there and tim walz criticized him for showing up in his white shirt and red tie.

it shows he is authentic not pander and pretending to dress a different way for a different crowd. he is who he is, all the same all the time. that's why people are now realizing that this is a person you can trust. someone like kamala harris who says the different thing whenever it suits her is someone you can't trust at all. >> harris: former president trump is joining joe rogan and will record an interview on friday. the joe rogan experience has the largest podcast audience in the united states and it is mostly made up of young men giving trump another chance to court that particular group's vote, both the male and young vote. rogan's show has 17.5 million subscribers on youtube. more than 14 million followers on spotify. the kamala harris campaign is also reportedly spoken with rogan's team about appearing on the podcast and waiting to see if any plans have been set. so far none. he has had words about both

candidates leading up to the election. let's take a look. >> everybody forever was like kamala harris is the worst vice president. she is the least popular vice president of all time. and then in a moment -- a moment in time all of a sudden she is our solution, our hero, he is funny like a comic, you know, just like we don't necessarily want that as the guy with his finger on the button is all it is. that's the thing that freaks people out. >> harris: steve. >> what's interesting from me personally i know both of these guys personally. i know joe and president trump and what i know about joe is that he is a deeply curious person. that's why he does so well. that's why so many people listen to him because he wants to know, he wants to get in. he doesn't go into subjects with any preconception. he wants to understand and why his conversations are so long and revealing.

so i think he will be very interested to get actually into many of the policy details of what it is like to be president. how president trump makes decisions and i think what you are seeing from president trump on the campaign trail already in some of these other conversations he is having is an insight into how he did the job last time and got great results. i think this will be very, very informative for the whole country as well as that audience mainly of men that you describe. >> harris: one more with you. the "los angeles times" just released its endorsements for the 2024 election cycle. they left off from the list the democratic presidential nominee kamala harris. in the release of the list, this time from the "l. a. times" wrote it is no exaggeration to say this may be the most consequential election in a generation. it is the first time the paper has not endorsed a democratic presidential candidate in more than 20 years. the break from tradition was

reportedly ordered by the paper's owner. the "l. a. times" did endorse democrat adam schiff for senate but not the state's former attorney general and democratic candidate for president, kamala harris. your take. >> it's totally bizarre but this whole -- really is a failing newspaper. trump used to call "the new york times" the failing "new york times." the "los angeles times" really is failing. who knows what they are up to? i suspect it is because she just as we were discussing earlier abandoning some of the positions that they would have supported for and now trying to wooh the mainstream. that may have something to do with it. >> harris: maybe she got lucky because they didn't explain why they aren't endorsing her. that might hurt and catch you, right? steve hilton. great to have you are in "focus." thank you for watching "the faulkner focus." it is my happy place. i get to go to another happy place now, though, "outnumbered" after the break.

ere shocked to n they've been paying 22% on their credit card balances. and if payments were late, as much as 30%. that's over three times the interest rate on a newday 100 va home loan. pay off high rate credit cards and other debt with a lower rate newday home loan. save hundreds a month, thousands a year.
