won't get them. language or a class size gets bigger and the teacher has to focus on the kids in the back with no idea what they are saying. >> that's exactly right. look, again we have allocated resources for a school year with a certain enrollment amount. this illegal immigrant wave is rushing our classrooms and fentanyl as well. resources are being diverted quickly to deal with the crisis affecting every family, parents, children, administration, kamala harris has ignored this crisis and issue. we absolutely have to have president trump back in the white house to fix this problem for our families. >> brian: but the invoice in the oval office and hopefully it will get paid. thank you for watching. this has been "fox & friends." more continues with this guy named bill hemmer and dana perino. >> bill: thank you, sir, good morning, everybody. half a dozen days to go now. president biden is stepping in it in a big way last night.

the insult that might undermine kamala harris's closing argument. i'm bill hemmer good morning from new york. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." it is october 30th. this could be the october surprise. i don't know. i'm sure she didn't love it. harris spoke in front of a crowd of 75,000 people last night in d.c. it is this remark by president biden on a campaign call that stole her spotlight. >> just the other day a speaker at the rally called puerto rico a floating island of garbage. let me tell you something. i don't know the puerto rico that i know and my home state of delaware they're good, decent honorable people. the only garbage i see is his supporters. it is unamerican and totally

contrary to everything we've done. >> bill: instant reaction from the former president donald trump at a rally in realtime allentown, pennsylvania, here we go, roll it. >> i wasn't going to say anything but i have breaking news for you, mr. president. just moments ago joe biden stated that our supporters are garbage. he is talking about everyday americans who love their country and want to dream big again and support you, mr. president. >> that's terrible. so you have -- remember hillary, she said deplorable and then she said irredeemable. that didn't work out. i think garbage is worse, right? >> dana: the vice president hasn't reacted but her running mate was asked about it a few minutes ago. >> did it step on the vice president's message? >> well, the president has clarified his remarks. let's be clear, the vice president and i have made it clear we want everyone as part of this. donald trump's deviceive

rhetoric is what needs to end. >> bill: how will it fly? bryan llenas reports on the harris campaign live in harrisburg, pennsylvania. lucas tomlinson is at the white house where they are in damage control with a capital d right now. >> they sure are. just over a week ago when president biden said he wanted to lock donald trump up and now white house spokesman is replying to these allegations of garbage to his supporters saying, quote, the president referred to the hateful rhetoric at the madison square garden rally as garbage. one of the add ministrations closest all eyes replied. >> it is not words i would choose and i think it is important that we remain focused on the contrast between kamala harris and donald trump and not attacking supporters of either candidate.

>> as dana mentioned last night the attention was supposed to be on kamala harris. her campaign says up to 75,000 people packed the ellipse next to the white house to listen to her closing argument. >> it is time to stop pointing fingers. we have to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms. it is time to turn the page on the drama and the conflict, the fear and division. it is time for a new generation of leadership in america. >> here is former president donald trump yesterday. >> we are going to save america. we have no choice. it is the greatest there is. we love it and we'll save it. her message has been a message of hate and division and my message is about saving our economy, securing our border, bringing together the greatest and broadest coalition in

american history. >> senator tom cotton wants harris to condemn biden's remarks. the last time they were together on the campaign trail was around labor day. >> bill: thank you, lucas, nice to see you. >> dana: from d.c. let's go to bryan llenas in harrisburg, pennsylvania with the harris campaign, good morning. >> good morning. former president trump's closing message is vice president kamala harris broke it and he will fix it. the vp's closing message trump divided americans and she will unify the country. last night in front of tens of thousands of people she had that message at the ellipse in washington, d.c., the exact spot where trump spoke on january 6th moments before the u.s. capitol riot. harris said she wanted to remind americans of who trump really is and she did it last night using stark and alarming language.

>> they didn't do that. only they admit to the will of another petty tyrant. we are not a vessel for the schemes of wanna be dictators. this is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power. >> despite those attacks, harris said if elected she will be the one that can bring trump supporters and harris supporters together. the campaign says harris's message was meant for undecided voters including moderate republicans who supported former presidential candidate nikki haley. she is campaigning in philadelphia's suburbs today with republican senate candidate dave mccormick. last night haley criticized harris's focus on january 6th. >> the fact that she goes back to january 6th, people know how they feel about january 6th.

what they are living right now and deciding on is whether they want another four years like the four years they just lived. >> haley said last night the last time she spoke to trump was back in june. she remains on stand by if the campaign wants to utilize her. harris will have three rallies today in north carolina, wisconsin, and here in harrisburg, pennsylvania where the senate race and presidential race are both toss-ups. >> dana: you are right in the thick of it. >> bill: marc thiessen joins us now. good morning to you. shades of eight years ago, right? here is the comment. by the way, i think this was in september of 2016. late october right now. six days out. here we go. check it out, hillary clinton. >> you could put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. [laughter] right? [applause] the racist, sexist, homophobic,

xenophobic, islamophobic, you name it. >> bill: trump team jumped on that. the white house was spinning wildly. so the media and the harris campaign has run with this comment from a comic who was on stage five hours before trump was in the building. three days now. i don't know what they do with this. this is a sitting president and as "politico" wrote this morning sitting 1,000 feet behind her in the white house president joe biden was busy undoing all the message on stage that harris was trying to communicate. where does it go and is there ab impact? >> keep in mind. this is the president who said he would put his whole soul into uniting the country. a couple months ago after the first assassination attempt he called on both sides to tone down the rhetoric.

now he is calling -- hillary clinton said half of trump supporters were deplorables. he is calling all trump supporters garbage and stepping on the unifying message of kamala harris calling trump a petty tyrant, unsable, consumed with grievance and out for unchecked power. so that was the unifying message he stepped on but calling on the people. 74 million people who voted for trump last night garbage. that's quite a -- quite a way to unite the country. >> dana: what about the media's response? >> it's fascinating. as bill said they spent three days obsessing about a comic, an idiot, who said something really stupid. now the president of the united states goes out and says the same thing about all americans and they are trying to walk it back for him.

if you look at some of the press coverage last night they took the garbage quote and said he was saying it about their rhetoric, about trump supporter's rhetoric. no, he said it about all trump supporters. the white house put an apostrophe and said as if to suggest he really wasn't saying what he actually said. which by the way is just a violation of their ethical and legal responsibilities to accurately record what the president actually says for history. and the media just goes ahead and -- they will bury this. they won't be talking about this tomorrow. this is just a gaffe, another biden -- old biden not on the ballot anymore stepping in it and we're just going to move on. >> bill: trump may have already gotten himself another closing argument and closing statement. 12:30 in the morning he put out this. you can't lead america if you don't love the american people. now, imagine the ad with him

serving frys at mcdonalds and said i'm proud to lead the most important political coalition in american history. that's all he has to say for the next six days. >> one of the most unattractive political characteristics there is contempt, right? people throw insults at each other and call people names. she is closing with calling him a nazi and fascist. by extension calling all the people in madison square garden fascist comparing it to the nazi rally. showed pictures of people standing with arms in the air with hitler salute comparing everybody in that room to those people including the people with israeli flags apparently. when you have contempt people feel that. the democrats, biden and harris, have contempt for half of america. and trump is right, you can't lead the country when you have contempt for half the country. >> dana: a quick thought of the location of harris's speech last night. you wrote the words as a speech writer but the venue is important and talking in d.c.

1,000 feet from where the president said this. >> yes, she trying to evoke january 6th. nobody is voting for kamala harris. no one knows who she is. she is the the silent partner of joe biden for the last four years. she didn't run in a primary. she didn't debate or put out a platform. she is generic democrat they found to swoop in when americans discovered they had been lying about biden's cognitive decline after the debate and they inserted her. even her most staunch supporters are going out there because they think kamala harris is the person to lead this country. it is all to stop trump. her entire closing argument is a desperate call to say we can't allow nazis and fascists to come into our country and take over our country. the venue was intended to send that message. and it is a desperate argument.

>> bill: thank you, marc. i wonder how long it takes for trump to get on the back of a garbage truck. we may see that by this weekend. thanks for coming back, all right? we'll talk soon. marc thiessen. check this out, virginia. >> these are individuals that have checked a box at dmv when they tried to get driver privileges indicating they are non-citizens. that's been a law in place and been enforced by democrats and republicans. >> bill: we have lawyers all over the country right now scouring this story. the battle over ballots escalating. in this case it's virginia. supreme court set the rule on several key cases. what they mean for the integrity of the vote next tuesday. >> dana: growing outrage in texas over billboards offering help to illegal immigrants. are your tax dollars footing this bill? is it just fueling the border crisis? plus this. >> bases loaded, two out. deep left field.

redemption. >> the bronx cheered. the yankees avoided a sweep. we have ourselves a game five in new york city tonight on fox. ♪ lord, you know what's on our hearts. you know where we struggle. you know where we need to be pushed. help us give it all to you. the good, the bad. help us turn to you in everything. amen. you should join me in more prayer on hallow. stay prayed up.

>> dana: fox news. we have learned exclusive new information about the damage those israeli air strikes inflicted on iran last friday. a senior u.s. official tells fox the retaliatory strikes took out three of iran's russian made s-300 air defense systems. a devastating blow. the white house official tells us the majority of iran's air defense has been taken out

describing it as iran is essentially naked. trey yengst on the story. more as we have it. >> bill: back at home in texas there is a bit of out rage after the dhs funded a series of billboards in the state offering free help for those with friends or family in immigration detention. brooke taylor is running on the story with mcallen, texas with more of what we've learned. good morning. >> good morning. dhs is using taxpayer money to put up these billboards offering help to migrants in immigration custody. a dhs source sent us this picture right here of one of those billboards you could see. it says, quote, your brother in immigration custody has rights. we're here to help. sources from ice and border patrol tell fox that this is insulting especially given their limited resources. they say it undermines their enforcement efforts. the ads all part of a campaign launched by an independent

branch within dhs called uphills of immigration detention or. the goal to promote humane conditions and tell illegal immigrants about their rights. congress approved establishing this office in 2019. started operations in 2021 and billboards went up during the biden-harris administration. tony gonzalez tells us he plans to push congress to defund them. >> it is a slap in the face for the men and women at ice and border patrol that are working around the clock to make sure americans are safe. here they are fighting for funding, fighting to make sure they have the resources they need to do their job and keep americans safe. >> fox news has reached out to dhs for nearly a week now. we can't get answers to simple questions like how much taxpayer money is actually being used to

fund the billboards or how many billboards there are. meanwhile the former president trump took to x to say when i win the billboards are coming down. >> bill: we shall see. brooke, stay on it. >> dana: he is still officially an option in some places. the supreme court rejects a bid by robert f. kennedy, jr. to remove his name from the ballot in wisconsin and michigan. let's bring in fox news legal editor karrie urbahn. michigan officials rejected it. what kennedy said in regard to how the supreme court ruled. >> as i said before, the democratic party was suing me in ten states to keep me off the ballot, including here. and as soon as i switched to donald trump, they changed their

lawsuits to keep me on the ballot. they want me on the ballot to trick people into voting for me instead of voting for president trump. >> dana: what's going on here? >> two things can be true at once. i think it's true rfk junior was all over a map when it ca im to where he wanted to be on the ballots and where he didn't. i think he is right here. it is true they changed their tune. interestingly justice gorsuch alluded to this. when the supreme court decided not to get involved yesterday. which is not surprising given the fact that i think they are loath to get involved in the election a week before the election. the last position they want to be in. i would expect more decisions like this in other cases as well. gorsuch did something called he wrote something called a dissent from denial. in that he expressed his displeasure that the court had not gotten involved and he did so very clearly. what he ended up doing is referencing another court decision about this same case in

michigan. he gave the page number so people would know where he stood on this. one of the things that's referenced in that decision is the secretary of state in michigan did change the rules. something rfk junior has been arguing. he said i filed in time to get my name off the ballot. the secretary of state turned around and changed the rules and how is that fair? it is complicated situation. not surprised the supreme court didn't get involved. i think it is a little disappointing. >> dana: take us to virginia. the supreme court could rule today on this story we've been covering about the purging of voter rolls, which the governor youngkin says the on the books. this is allowed. the attorney general of virginia was on "fox & friends" first this morning. watch. >> they basically ordered virginia to ignore our own law and put 1500 non-citizens back on our voter rolls. we've had a law that has been on the books since 2006 signed by then governor kane, a democrat.

to remove non-citizens. the fact the department of justice is trying to do this 25 days before an election is injecting chaos and something we don't need right now. >> dana: is this one of the cases you this i the supreme court will decline to hear? >> it's a timing issue. the supreme court has had a rough year in the court of public opinion and now dealing with election challenges a week before the election. they are calculating the political ramifications getting involved in any of these things. i don't know what they'll do here. forget the virginia law for the second. the federal law says non-citizens can't vote a virginia law says if you put yourself down as a non-citizen, which is what happened in this particular situation, you also can't vote. virginia is arguing this is not a system theic purge. it is individual. why is doj suing us in october? they could have done it in august when we issued the e.r. formalizing the process we've

been doing all along. what it speaks to in the big picture typically democrats are pretty successful at gaming the system when it comes to voting. now i think this is important to note. that doesn't necessarily mean it's illegal. i just think it raises fundamental questions of fairness and i think this is why people get frustrated when they see some of these shenanigans going on. >> dana: people could say if you wanted to do this why did you wait so long and now up against it a and the supreme court might not rule in your favor? >> virginia would say we have been doing it all along. a fair point. i wondered myself why do it 90 days on the nose during this quiet period? they could have made it cleaner had they issued that a couple of months prior despite the fact the law is on their side. it is possible they weren't aware of this period. d.o.j. didn't do anything until a few weeks ago. so is d.o.j. necessarily honed in on this? they may have caved to political

pressure and wanted to send a political message before the election. >> dana: i'm sure we'll be seeing you. thank you so much. >> bill: day before halloween and you get an october surprise. boo. this one hitting the harris campaign days before the big day. time to take out the crash, america. how does harris respond today to president biden's insult about trump's supporters? my psoriasis was all over. then psoriatic arthritis. who knew they could be connected?

comment throughout the day and some of the main candidates will have to answer to it including kamala harris and donald trump yet again i would expect. joe biden talking to a group of latinos by way of laptop computer. >> puerto rico, in my home state of delaware they are good, decent honorable people. the only garbage i see floating out there is just supporters, his demonization is unconscionable. >> bill: the line about garbage happened 7:30 east coast time. two hours later biden tried to clean it up. earlier today i referred to the hateful rhetoric about puerto rico spewed by trump supporter at his madison square garden rally as garbage. that's all i meant to say. the comments at that rally don't reflect who we are as a nation.

tom bev-in. this is front page for the moment. who does what with it and how does it play? >> it's not great for the harris campaign just as trump battled a couple of days of bad news cycles. this couldn't come at a worse time. it happened while she was speaking. while she was giving her closing argument. this entire thing blew up. what was joe biden doing on a zoom call at that point in time? it reinforces the notion and seen the comments, hillary clinton's deplorables, obama clinging to guns in 2012 or whenever it was. it reinforces the idea that democrats while they spent a couple of days of calling trump supporters nazis. they're alienating voters they need in the swing states in the

final week. >> bill: when you talk about margins, you're right. they could be small. you are crunching numbers all day long. a big piece in the times today getting out the vote. why it matters now more than ever before. the voters campaigns are targeting of which we believe there are 16% of the general population who vote. 6% of them are undecided. 10% say they could change their mind. that's what they say right now, okay? according to the survey cnbc two weeks ago. this is very interesting. which will drive us to the final point, tom. stand by for that. if you are extremely or very motivated one of the 85% of registered voters. independents the number is 2/three. somewhat motivated you are only 11% of registered voters. all that makes sense. the more enthusiasm you have to vote and vigor you have you will be on the voter rolls for sure. here is where it becomes very

interesting. if you voted in the primaries two years ago, you favor kamala harris by three points. if you voted in 2022 but not the primaries, dead even, harris and trump. if you voted in the general election only four years ago in 2020, you favor trump by 12 points. if you have no voting record, you favor trump by 19. there lies the riddle. those are the voters the trump campaign is trying to reach. are they being successful? >> well, i mean, we don't know that. obviously the campaign's focus is on early vote and getting voters out. the reason they do that, not because they think they add voters, it is because it is more efficient. once you know somebody is voted you don't have to send them mailers and try to get to the lower propensity.

the excited voters. its is the the hold-outs. the undecided. the people the most difficult to reach but have the most opportunity. those would be added votes. as you mentioned it looks like those folks are leaning toward donald trump. he whats a history of bringing disaffected people into the process. in this environment with kamala harris being the incumbent and part of the incumbent administration traditionally those voters will vote for change and one of the challenges she is facing. >> bill: "new york times" sat down which 11 undecided voters in michigan and what they concluded. harris's problems is change and biden. i understand not pushing biden under the bus but she needs to be more authentic and take responsibility for failures of your administration. on the same days, voters in michigan. on the same day she answered this question from a reporter in

that state. >> what is your message to michigan voters in terms of the economy? recent polls in michigan show michigan voters believe that donald trump would do a better job with handling the economy and bringing jobs back. what do you say to that? >> let's start with this. i come from the middle class and i'm -- my plan includes bringing down the cost of groceries and in particular i'll go after price gouging by corporations that have been jacking up prices. >> is that answer going to fly come tuesday? >> it is astonishing she is still giving that answer. still leading with that as the first response to these questions. she has been doing that for weeks. it almost became a character ca tour. you would have thought she would have gotten better answering that question. this has been another part of her campaign that she struggled with. some of those undecided voters in that focus group said if she

just taken responsibility. if she just said on the border for example, immigration is a huge issue for a lot of voters. instead of saying we got it wrong or could it done it differently she could have crafted an answer that still mollifys progressives but reaches those independent voters. she said we got it just right. wouldn't change a thing. it is not doing it for undecided voters. >> bill: thanks for coming on. check out your website every day, real clear politics. appreciate it. dana reads sports. >> dana: the new york yankees knocked off the los angeles dodgers in game four of the world series 11-four. but it was a controversial start to the game with two yankees fans trying to pry a ball out of a player's hands. >> the throw. torres back in the corner, does he have room?

he drove in his first run of the world series. the yankees exploded for 11 runs after struggling offensively throughout the series. who is not struggling dodgers first baseman freddie freeman. another home run made history last night. he hit a home run in six straight world series game breaking the all time world series record. if the yankees can send this game back to los angeles. it's on 8:08 on fox. >> dana: explain to me what a walk-off homer and a go ahead homer is. >> you learn something new every day, dana. >> dana: great assignment for you. the balance of power in the senate is up for grabs and some races are tight. one of them is in nebraska. senator deb fischer on her re-election bid straight ahead. stunning video out of michigan. an officer uses a sledgehammer to rescue a woman from an

a razor's edge. we're showing them to you all week. in reliably red nebraska deb fischer holds a two-point lead over an independent challenger osborn. deb fischer joins us now. i don't know if this caught you by surprise but it caught us by surprise. the senate leadership fund put $3 million into your race last week even with all the other races trying to deal with in battleground states. right now "the new york times" says nebraska is -- trump should win nebraska 55-40. what happened in this campaign? >> you know what? we're seeing in nebraska is an example of a template that democrats want to use in red states. they want to run candidates as independents because they know they can't win with a democrat on a ballot in a state-wide race. we expected this but what we didn't expect was to be hit with over $20 million in negative

attack ads in the last 2 1/2 months. so we have had our campaign set up with thousands of volunteers and great endorsements, working hard. our polling is showing good trending for us. we plan to win. george soros is not going to buy a nebraska senate seat. >> dana: dan osborn is your campaign person. i don't have him booked for him to respond to that and where the money is coming from. take your word for it at the moment. let's play a little bit of his ad he has been running about you. >> senator deb fischer is a fake rancher and fake conservative. just a career politician. we pay her millions and she can't pass a farm bill. >> dana: he says he would be independent and not caucus with either party if he became a senator. do you think otherwise? >> definitely. in fact, we were just sent a text message last night that was

looking for funding again for dan osborn and it said he would caucus with democrats. so even though in the past few days he has had this message out that he is a conservative, he has tried to cozy up with president trump and that's not going to work. in fact, president trump called me yesterday and i told him what dan osborne was trying to pass off on nebraska and he wasn't happy about that. >> dana: so it is interesting you've got all of these states like ohio and pennsylvania. i think the national republican senatorial committee feels confident about west virginia and montana and ohio. you do have races like in pennsylvania and in maryland where and nevada i should add and arizona we can throw that in there where they need those funds as well. do you feel in some ways that you were caught off guard? >> i think we were caught off guard by the amount of

outside money coming in. dan osborne is raising money and has been on act blue, which is a democrat fundraising site. he has received a lot of money from harris donors. also at play here in nebraska we are not a winner take allstate. kamala harris has put in over $20 million here in the omaha area, which affects my race, it affects our congressmen bacon as well. i just believe that nebraskaians are going to be able to see through this especially with dan osborne putting out conflicting messages depending on who he talks to. we use his own words against him in the ads, dana, where he says amnesty for illegals, illegal immigrants should receive social security benefits. he has an f rating from the nra. that message is now out there with our ads where we use his own words.

>> dana: we'll invite him on the show as well if he would like to come on. an important point about nebraska and bill shows that on the board. if she gets to 270, he is down at the bottom right. i can picture it in my mind. thank you. we have to run. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> bill: the vp kamala harris expected back on the trail today. what will she say about the president biden's garbage remarks? we expect to be -- her to be pressed on that. take a quick break, back in a moment. cosentyx helps real people find clear skin. and in psoriatic arthritis, can mean less joint pain, and help stop further joint damage. serious allergic reactions, severe skin reactions that look like eczema, and increased risk of infections some fatal have occurred. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to or if ibd symptoms develop or worsen.
