that the vice president has had a hard time shaking on the campaign trail. >> bill: okay. all right. thank you, sir, from the white house. grady trimble. there he is. >> dana: he is great. the concert for carolina that happened saturday night and raised more than $24 million for victims of hurricane helene and took place in charlotte. luke holmes and eric church organized it. >> thank you so much. i know some of you don't have a dollar to spend but you spend it anywhere to give it to somebody else in need. >> dana: what a lineup. it included james taylor, keith urban and our own favorite scotty mccreery. great night. a lot of need and those guys came through for their home state. >> bill: it's monday. catch you later. >> dana: stay great. "the faulkner focus" is next. >> harris: fox news alert. former president donald trump is

going to georgia to talk with faith leaders and later hold a rally in atlanta. you know we were just there with "the faulkner focus" all women town hall. i witnessed the first day of early voting and it continues now to set records in that very, very tight race for both trump and vice president kamala harris. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." last night quite the spectacle. it was eye-popping for the former president in deep blue new york city. [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting usa, usa] >> harris: that's iconic madison square garden packed to capacity. more than 19,000 people cheering on trump and a host of high-profile guests. his supporters lined up for hours, some camping out overnight to try to secure a seat inside.

thousands ended up watching from outside as well. new york may not be in play for the former president but the powerful imagery could affect voters around the nation and in key battleground states. the "new york post" cover says maga square garden, new york city shows trump some heart emoji. trump's message not limited to that event. millions saw his television ads watching nfl football games and a little bit of one of those ads during the philadelphia eagles game. >> we'll make america great again, greater than ever before. i will fight for you with every breath and i will never let you down. >> harris: the full ad is two minutes long. the placement targeting voters in the key swing state of pennsylvania. this one also aired during the

games. >> we are going to launch a new golden age of american success for the citizens of every race, religion, color and creed. >> remember, kamala broke it, president trump will fix it. >> harris: bill melugin is in atlanta where donald trump will be later today, bill. >> harris, good morning to you. former president donald trump continues to crisscross all over the country in the final days of his campaign. he has two events in georgia today including a rally here in atlanta tonight but last night during that packed rally at madison square garden he went after v.p. kamala harris. take a listen. >> kamala's gross incompetence disqualifies her from being president of the united states of america. she is grossly incompetent. all you have to do is look at her interviews. >> before trump spoke he had a

long list of speakers who were on stage before him included melania trump, rfk junior, dana white, hulk hogan, elon musk. he said he wants to work with the trump administration to create a department of government efficiency and cut wasteful spent. got the crowd riled up when he said he thinks he can cut $2 trillion right off the bat. >> your money is being wasted. and the department of government efficiency is going to fix that. >> donald trump's running mate jd vance also spoke at msg last night on offense over the weekend. he went on several of the sunday shows yesterday and some of those interviews got pretty contentious. take a listen. >> the military to go after the enemy within which is the american people. >> he did not say that, jake. he said that he would send the military after the american people. show me the quote. >> he said the enemy within.

>> he said far left lunatics. he is talking about the pell owes east. >> he is talking about people rioting after the election. >> and trump is scheduled to speak here at his atlanta rally around 6:00 p.m. eastern time. the venue is actually just down the street from where he debated president biden here in atlanta back in june. harris, we all remember that's the debate that pushed biden out of the race and upended this entire thing. we'll send it back to you. >> harris: we'll never forget it. danielle alvarez in trump campaign senior advisor and now in "focus." last night was a big night. talk to me about what the goal was. in looking at the latest polling, is there any anticipation that trump could take new york? i'm not seeing that. so what was the goal? >> first of all, madison square garden is iconic, everyone dreams of playing that and president trump is iconic. also his hometown and his city. his fingerprints are all over the new york skyline.

you have seen that theme throughout the campaign where he has visited the harlem bodega, the south bronx rally and union workers and delivering that closing argument at madison square garden again having that the iconic moment in the mecca of where media is. obviously in the mid-term cycle we were able to expand our seats in the house through new york. we know we have critical seats to hold. the reality is president trump has both this broad coalition, even in the deepest of blue areas. >> harris: i want to broaden that out a little bit. something really caught my eye and ear last week. it is republicans in some areas are seeing their democrat challengers tout almost like a trump-like platform. they are not adopting his platform but it is like they know him in certain ways and i don't know, is that going to work for them? would it work in new york? >> you're seeing that happen in

ads in wisconsin and michigan and pennsylvania where senate candidates are running with president trump and shows how deeply unpopular kamala harris is and the harris biden administration. if you look at their closing argument, they are focused on donald trump. if you look at president trump's closing argument he is focused on the american people. >> harris: when we were in georgia, that was the first time that i had really seen him with an all-women cast like that. there were a lot of women on his staff like yourself. i think you all are used to it. whenever i see you with him i think there are a lot of women here. why such a gender gap for donald trump? >> actually push back on that gender gap. in 2020 president trump lost women by 15 points. had us down with women by ten points the latest poll. female or hispanic or black voters every type of voter president trump is focused on issues that matter most to american. economy, inflation and securing the southern border.

>> harris: do you think you closed some of that? and this question. his 20-point gap in the latest average of polls. kamala harris leading with women by 20 points. trump is leading with men by 16 points. this is almost a split. >> that's exactly right. president trump is leading with male voters and again it goes back to those core issues. when you listen to kamala harris talk she really doesn't have a message other than, you know, i grew up in a middle class family and i really care about a lawn and i'm not president trump. president trump can get to the substance of the issues. point you to the joe rogan podcast where he sat down for three hours talked about every issue from start to finish and you really got to know who president donald trump is. >> harris: had you any idea at that point that first of all it would go long? there have been a lot of questions how do you sit with anybody for three hours? >> president donald trump can. i don't think it's anything most

politicians could dream of doing. certainly not joe biden or kamala harris. but president trump is so well versed on policy issues across the political spectrum that it is so natural for him and i really think when we look back at this election president trump has been groundbreaking in circumventing mainstream media and doing the podcasts across the board. to do the long form interviews and let voters know exactly who he is. >> harris: mainstream media has been so negative for him. in either case whether kamala harris or donald trump it is a lot of time and eyes and ears viewing something. we'll have to see. she was with the obamas this past weekend and beyonce and we'll see. the voters will tell us what they were most moved by. i tell you what, there have been so many that voted already maybe it won't matter so much down the stretch.

>> it is three to five point shifts in voter registration in our favor. vote by mail and ballot requests are down by a quarter or a third in wisconsin and half and we're seeing early vote numbers skyrocketing. >> harris: in person especially. >> we can't take our foot off the gas. president trump is our secret weapon and we encourage all voters to swamp the involvement >> harris: the most famous secret weapon many people have seen. good to see you in new york. in the final stretch trump wants to help -- i should say biden wants to help but vice president harris's campaign is reportedly telling the president, the current president, we'll call you back. why she is apparently icing out her boss and if that will matter to democrat voters. so much more joy. the tone really changed last week. critics are now going after the

kamala harris campaign for sticking with its closing argument of dark anti-trump rhetoric. one of the v.p.'s top backers said she should focus on her own message voters. senator john kennedy wonders if she has one. >> i think she is behind because of all of her gauzy rhetoric. i think in some cases she lying. people are worried if she walked by a polygraph machine, the dang thing would explode. ey for reti.

>> harris: will it help her win? they are attacking donald trump using dangerous rhetoric. here is a little taste of what

it sounded like just this weekend. >> that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline. >> donald trump is a textbook fascist and would rule like a dictator. >> harris: to attempted assassinations on his life and that's their closing argument. ahead of his new york city rally at madison square garden mayor eric adams, former republican and now democrat mayor had some choice pushback for his own party. >> i know what a fascist regime looks like. i think, as i've said over and over again, that the level of

conversation i think we can all dial down the temperature and i've heard people say that the former president should not be able to have a rally in madison square garden. i strongly disagree. this is america. >> harris: michael goodwin echoed that in his column titled kamala harris needs to stop the hitler rhetoric with donald trump before we see more violence. when it comes to the pure politics of this strategy "the new york times" is reporting, quote, the leading super pac supporting the vice president is raising concerns that focusing too narrowly on trump's character and warning that he is a fascist is a mistake in the closing stretch of the campaign. the group said the focus on character and the fascist label were less persuasive than other messages. i don't know if you have a cohesive message and one filled with answers on how to fix the economy, jason, that might work.

>> aren't the democrats the party of joy? it is so offensive to compare donald trump to adolph hitler who murdered millions of people. instead of teaching the world the holocaust was real, they are trying to equate this guy, who has for four years the president who didn't bring us into war. we were signing peace deals in the middle east and you want to say he is like hitler? are you kidding? it's the same party that also called mitt romney hitler and called dick cheney hitler and then they accepted dick cheney's endorsement like hey it was a feather in their cap. they are so -- at the heart of this, harris, kamala harris has got nothing. she has no issue to run on. it is the only thing she can do is demonize the other opponent. >> harris: this idea of hating trump worked potentially in 2020.

and hillary clinton tried to just hate all his voters with the deplorables line. why is the the party of so-called joy going back to hate? do they see something that has worked with that strategy? >> negative campaigning everybody says they don't like it but it always works. that's why you see it. >> harris: this is more than negative campaigning. he has had attempts to kill him this summer. >> attacking somebody's policy, fair game. attacking somebody's character and comparing him to somebody who is going to kill americans, that is so fundamentally wrong. they've tried it. they try it again and keep trying it. every time they do it they lose more ground. >> harris: vice president kamala harris is freezing out president biden in the closing days of her campaign. this feels like al gore and bill clinton a little bit, right? didn't work out for al. i don't know him well enough to call him al. mr. gore.

the report says, president biden wants to campaign for vice president harris in the last days before the election. harris's campaign keeps responding we'll get back to you. three people familiar with the dynamic -- with that dynamic told axios. a reporter with the outlet said this. >> i don't think it's controversial to suggest that joe biden might not be the best asset for the harris campaign in every state. the other part here is there is tension between team harris and team biden. one of the last sort of arguments from the pro-biden faction within the democratic party was he is the the only person that can beat trump. implicit in that argument was the idea that harris couldn't. >> harris: another factor in the stiff arm could be the president's disapproval rating, 56% according to the average of polls. jason. why not deploy the current president, who will be president until inauguration day? >> kamala harris is trying to

say she is the future, that she will do things different. when asked the question what will you do different, she says nothing comes to mind. and so to compare the two, it just reminds america that four more years of joe biden's policies are detrimental to the united states of america. kamala harris has to be her own person. she has to make the closing argument but she can't. she has nothing. she is an empty suit. she doesn't have a message or a policy that resonates other than i will raise taxes. that is her only message. >> harris: it seems like such an easy question and every cycle would be different but negativity, the hate, the call for violence that sort of thing. lock him up. oh no i meant politically biden said last week. maybe that is why kamala doesn't want him on the campaign. the prices of food are so high. that's the bottom line.

>> the reason donald trump is winning and i believe will win handily north of three electoral votes. >> harris: that's a bold prediction. >> you are supposed to act like you are down by 1%. donald trump is rocking it right now. a positive pro-america. he makes people feel good. like the reagan campaign and this is also for kamala harris exactly what she did in 2020. she came out hot, raising the most amount of money and had big audiences and she started spinning and suddenly she was the first one to drop out. she was polling behind andrew yang in her home state of california. polling behind him in her own state. people figured out who she was. >> harris: she called joe biden a racist in one of the debates. wow. jason chaffetz. thank you. i know you gave us some perspective what was going on while you were on the hill. appreciate that. neck-and-neck race nationally in the battleground states as well.

one key group that biden won by a large margin is now not breaking for kamala harris with eight days until election day. plus both candidates looking to the keystone state as the key to victory. harris spent all day long yesterday there. pennsylvania democrat senator john fetterman calls former president trump's impact in the state quote, unquote, astonishing. power panel next. you're the first to know when high rate debt is stressing your budget. but your family's service has earned you a big advantage. the va home loan benefit. with the lower rate newday 100 va cash out loan, you can pay off high rate credit cards and car loans. that's real money you can use to take care of your family and home.

>> harris: right now tim walz, governor of minnesota, is campaigning next door to his home state in the swing state of wisconsin. this is walz's second event of the day in that state. he is there pretty much the entire day. has one in milwaukee later and then going to waukesha later

this afternoon as well. the kamala harris campaign is ramping up events in and around that battleground state and all of them with just eight days until the election day. we'll monitor this and bring you any news that is made out of it. meanwhile this. >> the path to victory runs right through all the leaders who are here, through all of you. [cheers and applause] and your vote is your voice and your voice is your power. so today, philadelphia, i ask you, are you ready to make your voices heard? [cheers and applause] >> harris: vice president was in the critical battleground state of pennsylvania and former president barack obama will be there tonight stumping for

harris. the race there is deadlocked and trump leads by only a half point in the latest real clear polling average. democratic pennsylvania senator john fetterman says trump is getting some attention and so is he, fetterman, for saying this? >> it is astonishing. i was doing and event in indiana county, very, very red and there was a -- a super store of trump stuff and it was 100 feet long and it was dozens of t-shirts and hats and bumper stickers and all kinds -- where does this all come from? it was almost like taylor swift kind of swag. >> harris: power panel now, t.w. shannon, former republican oklahoma speaker of the house and patrick murphy, former democratic pennsylvania congressman. great to see you both.

t.w., i will start with you and the swag comment from senator john fetterman. hold on one second. the vice president is talking at joint base andrews. let's take a listen. >> dividing our country and it is not in any way something that will strengthen the american family, the american worker. it is nothing about what he is saying that is actually going to support the aspirations and dreams and ambitions of the american people. it is absolutely something that is intended to and is fanning the fuel of trying to divide our country. as i've said many times and say tomorrow night in my speech, there is a big difference between he and i. if he were elected day one he will sit in the oval office working on his enemy's list. on day one if i'm elected president of the united states that i intend to be i will be

working on behalf of the american people on my to do list. take any questions. >> michelle obama said recently you faced a double standard in this campaign. do you feel you have to clear a higher bar every day than trump sew >> my role and responsibility is to make my case to the american people and getting their support and why i'm spending time traveling the country to listen to folks and to talk with them about my plans. my plans for strengthening our small businesses and helping people with homeownership and plans to help young families with children. and that's the work i will continue to do and not taking anyone for granted but knowing that i have to earn their support and my plans and policies including economists who reviewed them point to the fact my approach will strengthen america in many ways including our economy. donald trump will weaken america and our economy.

>> you are making several stops in michigan today. tell us about your final pitch to michigan voters today? >> i'm heading back to michigan to talk with working people and families, with young people about the issues that they care most about. they want to make sure we will lower prices. they know the price of groceries is too high. i know it, too. i have a plan to deal with that, a number of things including with price gouging. they want homeownership and my plan giving people a $25,000 down payment assistance if they are a first-time home buyer matters to the people of michigan. they care about american manufacturing. i will talk about that again. my plan includes what we will do to continue to invest in american-based industries, american manufacturing and american workers. that is how we are going to remain strong and globally competitive and win the competition for the 21st century with china and anybody else.

>> one follow up to your remarks about president trump's rally. some people who watched that made comparisons between a rally that happened at madison square garden in 1939 with neo-nazis back then. do you see those comparisons and can you also expand what he said and what you said yesterday about puerto rico? >> donald trump -- this is not new about him. what he did last night is not a discovery. it is just more of the same and maybe more vivid than usual. donald trump spends full-time trying to have americans point their finger at each other, fans full of hate and division and people are exhausted with him and people who formerly have supported donald trump, have voted for him are supporting me, voting for me. people are literally ready to turn the page. they're tired of it. in terms of puerto rico, even when i was in the united states

senate knowing that puerto rico does not have a united states senator, i was intentional about doing what i could as a united states senator to make sure among my priorities it included paying attention to the needs of the people on that island including the aftermath of hurricane maria. i have announced also my plan that is about my opportunity economy at large but specific targets that will include a task force focused on the needs of puerto rico understanding it has very spoofs i can needs in terms of upgrading and repairing the electric can grid and what needs in terms of investment with private partnerships. i'm proud to have the support of others who were supporting me before that nonsense last night at madison square garden and are supporting me because they understand they want a president of the united states who is about uplifting the people and not berating. not calling america a garbage

can, which is what -- those are the words he has used. there you go. see you later. >> what about tariffs and chip? >> harris: that last question was really teed up to get kamala harris to compare again it would seem donald trump to in some form hitler. that was obvious because he was talking about the rally last night and doesn't it remind you of something in 1939. that was a reporter question. just pointing out gerald ford, ronald reagan, both bushes many people have had rallies leading up to being in the white house let alone being on the campaign trail at madison square garden. patrick murphy and t.w. shannon. patrick, all credit for taking questions there. at some point she said give me questions. and that was as rare as a unicorn in a sweater vest.

what were you hearing from that? no doubt you heard my reaction to the last question, can you compare trump to hitler? >> she did come to fox news and offered to do a fox news debate and he backed out. i'm glad she answered questions. i think donald trump in the rally yesterday again puts out speakers that demean our fellow americans. you know, i served in the military. people in puerto rico are american citizens. the people who lived their per capita have more medal of honor recipients and served in the military than my home state and your home state. when you disparage them it is wrong. it is absolutely wrong. >> harris: i want to give everybody a chance to say what they are thinkful. helpful if you answer the question and i want to know about the closing arguments

comparing trump to hit lear. you have a reporter playing tee ball. like a softball question to tee off on it. if i'm wrong please tell me how this is different than just letting her talk about it? it felt like an entree to do that? >> the reason that's the case. it's kamala harris's only plan for america to convince the american people trump is a nazi. look at the rally and how diverse it was at madison square garden. the number of jewish americans that we had there. the only people that supported hitler was a nazi. if you tell me the jewish americans and african-american and native americans were there are nazis. kamala harris is hemorrhaging talking about day one. her day one was in 2021. the most powerful woman in the world right now and she has

failed the american people and not wielded that power for our benefit and why our economy is faltering and why 21 million illegals have entered this country. she wants to worry about any focus as the border czar, that should be where she is focused. unfortunately she is focused on tearing down donald trump which proves the joy is gone in the harris campaign. >> harris: well, i do want to get to this. >> donald trump back in 2017 and fired four years later because he divides america. people are tired. they want to turn the page. they want a new generation of leaders. >> harris: what happened to the joy? this is reflexively an old playbook move by some democrats to go against their candidate at this point on what she has been doing and talking about policy. you went against joe biden now she is pushed into this talking point. where in the world is joe biden?

quickly last thought from t.w. >> i would say this. the joy left when kamala harris was the nominee and no election for her. let's have an election and find out what the american democrats want as their nominee not somebody appointed. the reason kamala harris is losing she hasn't delivered for the american people. >> harris: gentlemen, i will bring you back. great when these candidates take questions, that's fantastic. let's broaden it out to everybody is in the room to answer those questions. we have a quick correction on "the faulkner focus" from earlier on the presidents who have rallied at madison square garden. those actually including mix of democrats and republicans, fdr, truman, eisenhower, lbj and nixon are the names we needed to have on that list. i want to correct that material

and include also both parties. exclusive fox news investigation now reveals disturbing new details on the border crisis and violent crime. plus democrats are in full spin mode after two major newspapers refuse to endorse either presidential candidate after decades of backing democrats. tomi lahren in "focus" next. va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans. sleep more deeply and wake up rejuvenated. purple mattresses exclusive gel flex grid draws away heat, relieves pressure and instantly adapts. sleep better. live purple. visit purple.com or a store near you today

>> harris: fox news has uncovered alarming data on the dangers of the biden-harris border crisis. border crossers are entering our country in record numbers. a fox exclusive open records request is revealing in the harris county, texas jail in houston, one in ten inmates has a customs hold on them, which means they need to be deported immediately. that's 10% of the people in prison down there. this includes the two venezuelan men charged with the murder of 12-year-old jocelyn nungaray. her mother has this emotional message. >> i believe the biden-harris administration open border policies are responsible for the death of my daughter. i do this because my daughter

fought incredibly hard the last moments of her life and i will be damned if i don't fight hard the rest of mine for her. we need to make change. this has to stop. we cannot keep burying our children. >> harris: astonishing news about the harris county jail in texas. brooke taylor is in dallas now. >> i filed this open records request and found that one in every ten inmates in the harris county jail has an ice hold. behind necessary these numbers are real people and numbers, there are 9,000 inmates in the harris county jail and 1,000 of them have ice holds costing the taxpayers money as their cases go through the system.

several involve violent crimes. among the cases we identified 75 murder cases, of which 22 are for capital murder including the two illegal migrants from venezuela charged with murdering 12-year-old jocelyn nungaray whose mother has been vocal about blaming the biden-harris open border policy. another one of these cases that we haven't heard from until now is 32-year-old man who according to ice is an illegal migrant from honduras accused of killing a 37-year-old during a road rage incident in houston in april. vega, a father of who small kids called 911 just before he was shot. i spoke to his mother who says she feels failed by the system. >> they need to know who they are allowing to come into our country. our country that we work every day for. i didn't ask for this. ricardo didn't ask to be killed. i didn't ask for my son to be

murdered. >> she says she is going to remember her son for the bright smile he had that could light up a room. she says she will continue fighting for justice for as long as it takes as this court case works its way through the legal system there in harris county, harris. >> harris: you hear that drumbeat. common among all the mothers and parents losing their children this way. i wish the fight were not needed so much by them that they felt like people were fighting with them, too. brooke, thank you. big drama over a big decision by the "washington post." thousands of people canceled their subscriptions after the "washington post" announced it will not endorse a presidential candidate this year. the paper endorsed democrats in every cycle since jimmy carter but skipped backing michael due caulkis in 1988. the "los angeles times" skipped an endorsement.

brian stelter with his take. >> the story here is about a concern that billionaires like bezos might be rolling over and appeasing donald trump even before the election day actually rolls around. this is known by some scholars as obedience, the idea some people obey in advance to curry favor with aspiring thor tarrance. >> harris: joe concha argues kamala harris failure to secure key endorsements suggests her campaign is in a free fall. donald trump says he will prosecute his enemies, order mass deportations, use soldiers against citizens, abandon allies and play politics with disasters, believe him. that's in one newspaper. what do you make of the media at this point and two major outlets who have mainly backed democrats in the past, not jumping in at all? >> right.

well, these are not conservative publications or outlets. surprising as the "washington post" non-endorsement was i found the "l. a. times" non-endorsement even more shocking. that's kamala harris's hometown newspaper. the most respected newspaper in the state of california. that's very telling. i find these non-endorsements more telling than the polls at this point, harris. i will tell you why. because unlike what brian stelter was trying to set up, that perhaps these owners of these publications were afraid of a donald trump authoritarian presidency. i don't believe any of that. i believe these publications are unhitching their wagons from the kamala harris campaign. they made the mistake in 2016, most of media did, with going all in on hillary clinton, a 91% chance of winning and embarrassed when donald trump won in 2016 and they're trying to save themselves from going down that path again. they don't want to be mentioned

in the same breath was a kamala harris non-presidency. i think it's very telling. add that to the teamsters union failing to make an endorsement. three major left leaning entities not in for harris this close foran election. >> harris: what has been report evidence about the teamsters is further indication of a problem perhaps for kamala harris and that is that that's a union that reportedly a lot of the members wanted to go differently than the actual union representatives. so you have a situation where the representatives would not have been able to do exactly what the people wanted and that was to majority support trump. it is a collaborative -- collision here. transgender athletes in women's sports. he said this. >> how do you plan on addressing the transgender issue in women's

sports? i have nine grandchildren, six of them female, all playing sports and we are very concerned for their safety not just on the field and the courts but in their locker rooms as well. >> it is such an easy question and everybody in the room. you know that answer. we won't let it happen. >> harris: now do you stop it? >> you just ban it. the president bans it. you don't let it happen. >> harris: olympic gold medal winner caitlyn jenner who started her transition nearly a decade ago has co-authored an op-ed in the "new york post." female athletes are losing opportunities to compete, earn scholarships and enjoy the activities they once loved. in reversing this dangerous trend will require strong national leadership. former president donald trump has proven himself to be the right leader to take on this challenge and the trump campaign flooding the airwaves with ads like this? >> kamala supports transgender sex changes in jail with our

money. >> letting biological men compete against our girls in their sports. >> kamala is for they/them. president trump is for you. >> harris: you get the last 30 seconds of the show. >> there is a lot of moral clarity on this issue from the trump campaign. i would also like to mention that donald trump has been incredibly sensitive when talking about this and having caitlyn jenner in his corner is very powerful. you can understand and be sensitive to the transgender community without believing that we should be paying for transgender surgeries for prisoners or transitions on minors without believing that trans genders should be in women's sports, locker rooms and restrooms. there needs to be moral clarity on this issue. majority of people believe women's sports can be protected. this is great to hear the trump campaign address it head on. >> harris: thank you for watching "the faulkner focus." "outnumbered" next. % if you pay.
