>> brian: vice president harris plans to deliver closing argument speech on tuesday after ellipse, which is just steps from the white house. kind of early to do a closing speech. >> lawrence: that is early. >> ainsley: today she is rallying in the state of georgia with help from former president barack obama. and it's their first joint appearance this campaign season. >> steve: meanwhile, former president donald trump was just in the peach state of georgia yesterday where he vowed to make the country richer and safer. >> lawrence: lucas tomlinson is at the white house. >> good morning. last night as the that cnn town hall outside of philadelphia, vice president harris was asked about the high price of groceries. >> grocery prices have gone up quite a bit in the last four years. what would you do to bring prices down for americans? >> you are absolutely right. price of groceries still too high and we need to address it in a number much ways. part of my background and how i come to it is probably a new approach, grounded in a lot of my experiences as a former

attorney general. where i took on price gouging. and part of my plan is to create a new approach. >> harris was also asked what she could do if it's not possible to codify roe in the house. harris replied, quote: we need take a look at the filibuster. of course, that's a procedure senate where she served for four years. next week harris plan as speech at the ellipse same spot where then president trump spoke on january 6th. harris is off to georgia today where former president donald trump rallied support yesterday. >> today with a message of hope for all americans. together we're going to fix our nation and we're going to fix our nation fast. with your support on november 5th, america will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer and stronger than ever before. [cheers and applause] >> now, president biden has no plans to campaign with his vice president for election day. this afternoon, president biden is off to arizona, guys.

>> brian: wow, did i not pick up, lucas that she said get rid of the filibuster. that is something. >> steve: because she filibusters when she answers. >> lawrence: that's all she does, exactly. >> ainsley: thank you so much, lucas. >> brian: part of the things being extraordinary if she takes over. very important. if you get rid of the filibuster. that means whoever is president, you know those executive orders that have a time frame on it, now it's going to be legislation, every president that goes in is going to be here, here if that goes. because we already see with judicial appointments and that's why mitch mcconnell and others saying let's stop here. and i wonder if chuck schumer is going to come out and say let's leave the filibuster because it looks like the senate is going the other direction. >> ainsley: that's why early voting has turned out so significantly this year people already know who they are voting for, obviously. this is why. think sore different. these candidates. they have different policies. and it just depends on what issue matters the most to your family.

>> lawrence: hit with a two for. average guy in the crowd. just simply asking about his grocery prices. the question that all americans -- not only can she not answer, she doesn't even attempt -- i don't care about your background. stop reading your bioevery single question. i mean it's so nauseating that we're not having an actual debate candidate a believes this about groceries. candidate b believes. this all we get is her bio every single time. it's the filibuster as you noted. >> she gives very long answers. and to the conclusion of it, you know, she said i'm going to go after price gouging as did i when i was in california. we have heard that a million times. but then she said both parties haven't done enough to deal with the cost of housing which is crazy. that's an issue. and ainsley, to your point about everybody is going to the polls to vote on one of the two

candidates a lot of people are going do vote based on some of the propositions across the state and yesterday you highlighted some of them down in florida, they are going to vote on illegal pot. they are going to vote on abortion. interestingly enough it in california which has been it's way out left. and over the last year we have shown so many pictures of those smash and grabs and stuff like that. on the ballot right now, in california, is proposition 36. and what it would do is it would increase the penalties for some theft and drug related crimes. and currently, in california, 73% of those who responded said, yeah, it's a good idea. >> so maybe california is coming, too, she is still going to win there but that could actually drive early voting. >> brian: republican party has got to get together in california and organized. they have something to run on now. look at the record early turnout. we mentioned it last hour. georgia almost 2 million. north carolina and michigan.

battleground states, look at those numbers, 1.3. wisconsin 457,000. population a lot less. but what happens is the breakdown of republicans and democrats and with party affiliation is what has got republicans and democrats taking note. democrats still have more but republicans close the gap dramatically. >> lawrence: do you know what i'm surprised about, ainsley. the turnout in georgia is so high. i thought there was jim crow 2.0 operating there. why are people able to go vote. >> brian: couldn't get water. >> lawrence: fear-mongering seemed to have not worked because people are turning out to vote. >> ainsley: used to be that republicans, namely, would go to vote on the voting day. >> steve: election day. >> ainsley: on that tuesday, on election day. everyone just felt like it was sara. but then we realized after the last election and mishaps and/or conversations about voting and early voting and how democrats did it better than republicans

four years ago. i think republicans are saying okay. we can trust the system. >> lawrence: use all the tools. >> ainsley: let's use all the tools. many of us are going to vote no matter. what we would go on that tuesday. if it were the last day we are going to government some people that are busy, they are traveling, whatever, or they are not sure they gold on that day. they might decide to stay home. so they're preventing that by going early. >> so many people are doing what they refer to as banking their vote. and republicans did in a lot of these swing states are saying look, vote early. just in case there are shenanigans on election day and people don't want to waste their votes. >> voting irish term for chicanery. >> steve: i used chicanery yesterday. and when we looked at the breakdown of republicans and democrats who have requested ballots and returned ballots. it's interesting, because, when you look at the commonwealth of pennsylvania, where kamala harris really needs to win and, in fact, she was at a town hall there yesterday, today starts

where the afl, c.i. o they are going door to door and knocking on the doors not of union members, because they feel like they have got a better handle on that. but on nonunion members, and, in particular. they are targeting white working class, which is, you know, it is her worst demographic. in the latest poll in the "new york times," donald trump is beating her by 3. 50 to 47. so they are going to go and knock on the door across the state, commonwealth of pennsylvania. >> ainsley: why i like flifings apartment complex no one is knocking at my door. >> brian: and trick-or-treaters. >> ainsley: i don't want somebody knocking on my door telling me how to vote. >> brian: a ghost or a cowboy. >> steve: knocking on your phone. if you are a registered voter in a lot of states they will text you. brian. >> ainsley: neighbor came over and said i see you a trump sign in your front yard yeah. and u9 lady loses it. why would you vote for him? how could you vote for him she

is like that's your opinion. that's your opinion and god bless you. the lady was so mad. >> brian: by the power invested in you, you may go now. it was so frustrating watching some of the town hall, i had to flip. >> lawrence: nauseating. >> brian: i had to switch off say football. soundbites today. here's a look at the questions, concise and simple, and the answer is anything but. >> 2022, 2023, there were record border crossings. your administration took a number, hundreds of executive actions and didn't stem the flow, numbers kept going up. finally in 2024, just in june, three weeks before the last -- the first presidential debate with joe biden, you ensued executive actions dramatic impact really shut down people crossing over. why didn't your administration do that in 2022, 2023. >> first of all you are exactly right, anderson and as of today

we cut the flow of immigration by half. the numbers i saw most recently illegal immigration hold on a second. >> if it was that easy why not do it no 2022 and 2023. >> we were working with congress and helping we could have a long-term fix instead of short-term fix. >> you couldn't have done both at the same time. >> we have to understand that ultimately, this problem is going to be fixed through congressional action. >> under donald trump, you criticized the wall more than 50 times. you called it stupid useless and a medieval vanity project is a border wall stupidity? >> well, let's talk about donald trump and that border wall. [laughter] so, remember, donald trump said mexico would pay for it? come on. they didn't. how much of that wall did he build? i think the last time i saw was about 2%. >> to fix the problem you are doing this compromise bill it, does call for $650 million that was emarked under trump to actually still go to build the wall. >> i'm not afraid of good ideas where they occur. >> you don't think it's stupid

anymore. >> i think what he did and how he did it was -- did not make much sense because he actually didn't do much of anything. i just talked about that wall. right? we just talked about it. he didn't do much of anything. >> but you do want to build some wall? >> i want to strengthen our border. >> brian: you know what? i have to give him so much credit, haley jackson, too yesterday. they are not complex questions. they are the questions everybody has. they have not been forced to answer. got the nomination in july she hijacked it. here we are in october finally getting just normal questions in a follow-up and she has no answer. >> ainsley: anderson asked her why didn't she do vice president and this was her answer. >> there was a lot done but there is more to do. i'm pointing out things that need to be done that haven't been done but need to be done. >> brian: now it makes sense now that you read it back. now i get it. >> steve: there were direct questions that we all want the answer, to particularly undecided voters want the answers to. >> so frustrating to watch that.

>> brian: i'm not frustrated at all. >> steve: apparently she was asked a pretty simple question and gave a 7 minute answer that didn't actually answer the question. here is barack obama's former adviser, david axelrod, over on cnn with his assessment of her performance and, do you know what? it was not good. >> i think it was a mixed night, knock i think she was very strong coming out of the gate. she was very strong as she has been on abortion rights because she feels passionately about it. she could be clinical on some of these economic issues. she was great on the long-term care for the elderly. the things that would concern me is when she doesn't want to answer a question. her habit is to kind of go to word salad city. and she did that on a couple of answers. one was on israel. anderson asked her a direct question would you be stronger on israel than trump? and there was a seven-minute

answer but none of it related to the question he was asking. >> lawrence: let me tell you something the analysis that one of the obama bureaus is giving, is essentially reflecting that the former president of the united states, president barack obama feels and david plouffe, who is now running kamala harris' campaign. i owe them a lot of credit from my childhood teaching me how to do community organizing, knock on doors, communicate. she has some of the best tacticians on her campaign. the problem is they have a terrible candidate. they were used to dealing with barack obama go out there and speak and communicate to the american people. who wanted the moderates to come and vote for him. who was called deporter in chief. now you have a candidate that has had years to craft some sort of message and she has nothing? nothing at all for the american people i mean, good luck. >> brian: this is why the answer is donald trump is unelectable, unhinged too old. that's why she is going to be at

the ellipse, january 6th. that's what she is going to say. vote for me because you don't want to vote for him. that's pretty sad when they look around with their communications experts and say judging by your performance, we have to make him unelectable because we can't make you electable. >> lawrence: yeah. that's true. >> ainsley: running for president would be very difficult. you are asked questions. you have to think very quickly. >> steve: every answer could kill you. >> ainsley: you have to be smart about it but when it's over and over and over that whole town hall she wasn't answering any questions. it makes me wonder is she prepared for this? does she have a plan? or is she saying i'm a think area answer this right now. she needs to go back stage and ask her people what to say. >> steve: tonight on the stage she is going to be down in atlanta and there with tyler perry, bruce springsteen and people like that. that's one of the ways you can pack the house and then can you get your message out. it doesn't mean everybody there is going to be saying okay. i'm going to vote for her.

>> this a message she is going to read off a teleprompter? >> steve: i don't know. we will have to stay tuned for that what is interesting the number ever people this cycle sitting it out. warren buffet put together through company website saying there is a lot of fake news on social media that i have endorsed somebody? i'm not going to endorse anybody. which is the same case as the "l.a. times." the news today about the "l.a. times" not endorsing anybody op-ed editor quit because apparently they were planning to endorse kamala harris but the billionaire owner said we're not going to endorse anybody this time fries in the face of what they have done for decades. >> lawrence: i want to go back to ainsley's point for someone that ran for president in 2019 the current vice president of the united states that, when faced with issues of the country says she is still thinking about things. in any other job, you are asking us to hire you, and you don't know the answers to the questions.

>> ainsley: 12 days away. >> lawrence: why are you 12 days out and you don't know how to fix the border? you still don't have a answer on how to lower the price of groceries. that makes zero sense. any other job it would be disqualifying. >> ainsley: why are these jobs so important now to secure our border, to fix the grocery prices? why weren't they over the last three and a half years when she was saying the border was secure? >> do you know what else you notice how many denny's are closing and how many fridays are closing. >> lawrence: people can't afford it. >> brian: very interesting to see why some of these franchises. >> ainsley: three fabulous restaurants closed here in new york. you drive up madison avenue it used to be store after store. empty, empty, empty. >> steve: part of it is the high cost of food and labor. the other thing is people can't afford to eat out as much. >> ainsley: people aren't shopping as much anymore. >> don't don't worry she has a plan people don't go to prison for weed. that's what we are all concerned about right now people can't afford things. so insulting to the american

people when we continue to ask for basic things. how to eat, you know, secure the border. you give us weed. >> brian: who is going to be a better friend to israel should be the question you or donald trump? and she basically had no answer. >> steve: seven minute answer. >> ainsley: trying to get those voters in michigan. also trying to get those voters in, you know, south carolina. >> brian: are you amazed how patient carley shimkus is? >> lawrence: she is very patient with us. >> carley: i don't have a watch on if i did i may have checked it just once. just kidding. great discussion, guys. new one to get to when it comes to the crisis at the southern border. listener to this. louisiana is suing homeland security charks alejandro mayorkas and ice. after chinese illegal immigrant may have exposed people in the state rare drug resistant form of tuberculosis. the chinese national had crossed the southern border illegally through california in july. louisiana governor jeff landrieu saying quote we have dodged a bullet this time. we have utilized the justice system to ensure that we can

>> lawrence: welcome back. let's take a look at the big board because we are tracking pennsylvania today. i think the thing that continues to catch our eye is the registration data. i mean, obviously it doesn't tell you a lot but it does show where the interest is. let's look at 2020 for the democrats. about 4 point 2 million in registration. now in 2024, they are at 3.9 million right here. that's a 257,000 loss right there. but, when you look at the republicans, tells a story. 3.5 in 2020 and 2024, 3.6 million. that's a 428,000 gain. so we have been tracking. this five states tracking pennsylvania is definitely one of them. at one point it was lean dem and now it's a toss-up. excitement when it comes to republicans it's still anyone's game. look at the democratic counties they are focusing on. it's always erie.

always state college. scranton as well. joe biden is from there. still allen town. when you look at the state as a whole, also pittsburgh, when you look at the state as a whole, a lot of red areas just populations in these counties is why the democrats typically end up taking it. let's bring in our guest right now. axios political reporter stef kight is here to break it all down. so, i'm curious, what are you looking at on the ground right now and looks like the race is shifting right now. the question is why. >> i mean, certainly republicans are feeling very confident about pennsylvania right now. according to the republicans that i talk to. they feel like they have the momentum on their side. of course, seeing the senate race in pennsylvania. even more likely for republicans to pick that one up. when you are talking about pennsylvania, you are not only talking about a state that could decide the presidential election, it could also decide

whether republicans have some extra room in the senate. there are also three very important toss-up house races in pennsylvania as well. and you look at the kind of ad spending that maybe going into that state, there has been no more than $970 million worth of ads being bought in pennsylvania. campaign ads bought in pennsylvania. since the start of the year. it's clear that both parties see the state as critical for control of government next year. >> lawrence: real quickly stef, because you brought up that senate race. did you shock it when you saw casey start to link himself to donald trump in ads? >> it was very surprising. it's something that we expect maybe from some of the democrats who are running in red states. job tester in montana or sherrod brown in ohio. then see democrats in battleground states, presidential battleground states, people like casey, as well as senator baldwin who has

featured trump in some of her ads in wisconsin. that's a clear sign that democrats feel like they need to do more to appeal to independent voters, to appeal to potential former republican voters and it's a sign that they don't feel as confident about linking themselves to their own presidential candidate. and so it was very interesting to see that kind of be the final argument when it comes to ads airing in these critical states. >> lawrence: stef, you talk about the final argument for voters. how much does fracking matter? i have been on the ground myself. seems like a lot of folks fired up. traditional democrats people i'm typically speaking with. could it make an impact on this race? >> absolutely could, you know, that's one of those issues where it kind of depends on state by state, we know what the top issues are for americans across the country, issues like the economy, issues like immigration, then you kind of zoom in to issues that matter to particular states, fracking is one of those. another issue i'm watching is ev

issues. vehicles in michigan. that's going to be a critical state we have seen president presidential and senate level. >> lawrence: definitely a link that i have noticed across the board when it comes to michigan and pennsylvania. it seems like a lot of those independent voters are voting the same type and the issues that matter to them pretty much the same. stef, you have been doing excellent reporting on the ground. thanks for giving us time this morning. >> thank you. >> lawrence: pleasure. kamala harris former senate opponent calling her out saying she has always been wrong about the economy. and he is going to explain, next. ♪

hour. kamala harris facing tough questions from voters on the economy. deflecting when it comes to her role in rising prices. >> grocery mices have gone up quite a bit in the last for years. and some people blame former president trump. some people blame president biden. who would you say is correct and what would do you to bring prices down for americans? >> thank you, eric, and you're absolutely right. you know it, i know it. i think most americans know it. price of groceries is still too high. part of my plan is to create a new approach that is the first time that we will have a national ban on price gouging. >> ainsley: our next guest ran against kamala harris for california senate in 2016 and says that she was wrong about the economy then and she is still wrong today. former chairman for the california republican party tom del vaccaro joins us now. hey, tom, great to see you again. >> great to see you. >> ainsley: you heard eric's question. she didn't answer it.

he says who do you blame and she starts talking about price gouging and go after that. why won't she answer these questions. >> turns out her whole career she hasn't answered questions. when i debated her in 2016, she was the only candidate on the stage where one of the moderators, who happened to be from the san francisco chronicle, a liberal newspaper said to her okay, but will you please answer the question? she seems to either have an inability to answer questions or refusal to do so. and part of that is because her response usually is son-in-law government action you, which people aren't -- don't find popular as a response. >> ainsley: her answers yesterday were so vague. anderson cooper would ask her specific questions. people in the audience asked her specific questions. when he asked her would you a build a little bit of the wall? would you add a little bit more of the wall? and she said i plan to secure the border. like answer the question. the question was about the wall. and here we are 12 days out,

what was she like when you ran against her? what was it -- what was her plan? do you see similarities in how she is handling this campaign, too? >> yeah. keep in mind, that her whole life has been working for government. she came from a household which promoted government and was let's to be kind, skeptic of the private sector. so her only responses are going to be for some sort of government action that she likes. and we can't take comfort from her saying she is going to follow the law. because she didn't follow the law on student loan forgiveness, right, the supreme court said no, they keep going, she is not following the law on the border. so, she can't be trusted to stay to even her word of saying i'm going to secure the border because, remember, she said she agreed with all the biden policies and wasn't going to change things. so, even back then, when i ran against her, she not only did she not answer questions, but she remained vague as to what

she would do in washington, d.c. and we know what she eventually, did she became the most liberal senator. >> ainsley: tom, we have to remind our voters, overall inflation, under biden and under harris, 20%, food 22%, shelter up 23%. energy up 29%. electricity up 28. gasoline up 29. auto insurance up 57. these are things that we have to pay for in order to survive in america or anywhere. so, how does she keep winning? i know she wasn't even primaried in this. so no one has actually voted until now. how does she keep getting ahead? >> >> well, that's great question. she aligned herself. she has more ambition than -- how shall i say leadership skills or intellect. and lot of politicians have that but she alived herself with willie brown and she did well with that then she got to the u.s. senate. and what happened there was you saw it all on national tv. she threw a punch at biden but

brian, over to you. >> all right, carley. let's change gears if we can the state of florida suing the department of justice over handling of second assassination attempt against former president trump. the lawsuit alleges that they are being blocked from interviewing witnesses, and pursuing state level charges saying, quote: every day that florida is prevented from the investigation the state's case becomes harder to prove at trial. florida attorney general ashley moody joins us now. so, you find that the fbi is not welcoming your curiosity on what took place in your state? >> well, of course. this is a suit we hope to avoid. but, it had become absolutely necessary from a little over a month ago when that second assassination attempt happened. if you remember, governor desantis was very clear. he wanted florida to move forward with an independent investigation of state crime. working with the federal government, of course, he felt that was in the best interest of this state. our sovereignty, and for the american people as there are

concerns that the same federal agencies investigating the assassination attempt are the ones that are seeking to go after and prosecute the president. the victim in this case. and so, we hope that this would not -- this day would not come. but at every turn, as we have moved forward with our investigation. they have attempted to frustrate that and, in fact, it came down to them stating that they were suspending state jurisdiction, which would indefinitely put our investigation on hold. we don't believe the law supports that and so we have filed suit against the doj. >> brian: so are you getting any information, any evidence? are you working with the local police and you just can't get answers? you need access to the would be assassin? >> well, certainly when this took place, many of our local agencies assisted. in fact, we were responsible for apprehending the defendant, we have done everything in our power to assist. but, when it comes down to going after the most serious crimes

state law violations, including other state crimes, that resulted from this fleeing and alluding, that has been frustrated at every turn. we have made contact. we have had meetings, but, unfortunately, you know, florida and i as attorney general are going to stand up for the sovereignty of this state and push back on what we believe is an overreach of federal power. >> brian: all right, ashley, let's also talk about tren de aragua. this lethal gang from venezuela, which is just fanning out and recruiting across our country. so far there has been 600 migrants with possible ties to this group. 100 plus of the 600 were confirmed members of the gang. that are in this country coming to states like yours. what do you plan on doing about it? >> well, as you know, florida was one of the first to sue this administration when they took the unprecedented move of suspending deportations of criminals here, committing felonies that were not citizens. and now you are seeing what's happened. as they have pushed more and

more of these people into our interior, think about the irony here. they have let them come in. barely vetted them. now seeing them pop up all over our nation, and they cannot, even if they tried to do it now, cannot send them back to venezuela because venezuela says we won't accept them. so they have sent their most dangerous criminals right across our border. the biden and harris administration have basically thrown out the welcome matt, pushed them into the interior and now, because they have done such a sloppy, poor job of securing this border. in fact, i would say no job securing this border, we are now left with these very dangerous individuals roaming our country and even if they had the resources and wherewithal and the intent to track them down, they have no power or cannot now deport these people back to the country where they belong because that government won't work with them and it shows the lack of not just the lack of capability but their lack of respect by these foreign nations.

>> brian: of course they cut a deal with the head maduro to have a free and fair election start using their oil again. we stop buying their oil free election. he lost by dozens ever point still in power saying he won and the person who ran against him has to flee the country. their deal went bust got a pass criminals who are coming from the dungeons from venezuela. most are not coming here for the american dream they're here to create chaos. ashley moody, thanks so much. >> great to be with you, brian. >> brian: meanwhile, more "fox & friends" just a moment. thursday edition, 12 days until election day. that is a great-looking lighthouse. ♪ as fast as it can ♪ i see you pull me back ♪ ♪
