[cheering and applause] >> thank you jamie lissow, kat timpf, tyrus, or studio audience. "fox news at night" with trace gallagher is next. i love you, america. >> trace: good evening, i'm trace gallagher. 11:00 p.m. on the east coast, 8:00 in los angeles and this is america's late news, "fox news @ night".
8:01 pm
breaking tonight, vice president kamala harris trying to close the deal with a message of unity, but president biden opened a can of worms with a message of division that many are now calling a deplorable's moment. >> the only garbage i see floating out there is his supporters, unconscionable. >> trace: no democrats and the media are saying trump supporters should not be offended by the word garbage, after the very same democrats and mediate said the word garbage was disgusting, hateful and degrading. >> comments about puerto rico are disgusting and hateful. >> a rally full of racist and vulgar remarks. >> while comments. >> so unbelievably degrading. >> trace: but former president trump fears no garbage, in fact today he was all about garbage. >> i hope you enjoy this garbage truck. kamala and joe call all of us
8:02 pm
and even them garbage. i call you the heart and soul of america. i want to thank all of our incredible sanitation workers all across america. they don't get the credit they deserve like our police, like our firefighters, like so many others. >> trace: so while trump is spending time touting sanitation workers, kamala harris is spending time embracing d.c. bureaucrats. we have fox team coverage, senior white house correspondent jacqui heinrich live in madison, wisconsin with a vice president. senior national correspondent kevin corke live in d.c. with a follow-up on garbage gate. but we begin with the senior national correspondent rich edson following the trump campaign live in green bay. good evening. >> reporter: good evening, trace. less than a week to go until election day and this race has devolved into a debate over garbage, or about comments over garbage. former president trump landed here in green bay this evening.
8:03 pm
instead of going right to the venue where he was speaking, he took a ride in a garbage truck. he wore a reflective vest, kept it on for the speech, safety first. >> you know, it actually makes you look thinner. [laughter] >> and they got me. i set i want to wear it on stage, i may never wear a blue jacket again. >> reporter: trump is trying to tie harris to biden's comments that the only garbage he sees is trump supporters. his demonization of latinos. >> rocha joe biden finally said what he and kamala really think of our supporters. he called them garbage. no way! no way! and they actually mean it. >> reporter: the white house argues biden was talking about -- trump's madison square garden rally who called puerto rico an island of garbage.
8:04 pm
former packers quarterback also sport -- spoke in support of trump to huge applause. the rally was only about a block from lambeau field. earlier today trump was in north carolina. over the next few days he scheduled to travel to new mexico, nevada, michigan, back in wisconsin, virginia and again to north carolina. state election officials in north carolina say early voting turnout is a strong there, even in the counties recovering from hurricane helene. here in wisconsin, election officials say more than 1.1 million ballots have already been returned. 600,000 of them from early in person voting, the rest from a male in. trace. >> trace: rich edson live in green bay, thank you. let's bring in trump campaign senior advisor danielle alvarez. great to have you on the show. i want to play some sound. we will get to the garbage gate thing coming up but i want to play some sound. kamala harris on abc avoiding yet another question. watch this. >> you are promising to bring
8:05 pm
people together, even people you disagree with. how do you convince trump supporters of that when you are calling their candidate a would-be dictator, a petty tyrant? >> i am talking to everyone in america, regardless of who they vote for. >> one last question -- >> trace: the answer not quite what was asked and yet she's been doing this the whole campaign and what are you going to do? >> we know that kamala harris believes that president trump and his supporters are fascists. tim walz calls us and joe biden calls us garbage. but president trump calls us patriots and he's been fighting for us every single day on the campaign trail. he fought for the american people for four years in the white house and he will do it again when he returns in november. you know, i think kamala harris is just not fit. she's just not prepared to lead. she's not ready for the promotion that she is asking for, and she proves it time and
8:06 pm
again in these interviews where she's asked basic questions that she is unable to answer. how is she expecting to run the free world, expecting to sit across from foreign leaders when she is just unable to answer basic questions? >> trace: to your point, the former president was in north carolina today and he had this message, kind of uplifting of hope. watch. >> i'm here today with a message of hope for all americans. i will and inflation, i will stop the massive invasion of criminals into our country, and i will bring back a thing called the american dream. our country will be bigger, better, boulder, richer, safer and stronger than ever before. >> trace: sound like he wants his closing argument to be about hope, to be uplifting. >> it is. president trump is ready to unite this country and he's ready to unite the country under
8:07 pm
success, unleashing american energy, unleashing the american worker, securing the border, making our country better for every single citizen. and then of course restoring our standing on the world stage. it is absolutely a message of hope and unity and a stark contract of four years of weakness and failure of kamala harris. and so the closing argument as we have seen starting at madison square garden is kamala harris has broken it and only president trump will fix it. >> trace: i have to go here but i was interested because franklin's said today that a lot of male voters feel like they are being forgotten and they are kind of migrating towards trump. 15 seconds left. do you feel like that is happening, you can feel that? >> i think it's every single voter, whether a man, a woman, hispanic, black, i think you are being left behind unforgotten by that harris-biden administration and that's why i reiterate she does not deserve the promotion she's asking for an president --
8:08 pm
in president trump's america, everyone had money and their pocket, you could afford the cost of gas, groceries and rent. >> trace: a lot of people are saying that. danielle alvarez, thank you for your time. meantime vice president harris also spent time in north carolina and wisconsin today with an additional campaign stop in the all-important battleground of pennsylvania. senior white house correspondent jacqui heinrich live in madison, wisconsin with outside of the story. good evening. >> reporter: good evening, trace. or though president biden vacated the white house yesterday so vice president harris could deliver her closing pitch that trump is the one with an enemies list, using 1600 pennsylvania avenue as the backdrop, biden's garbage comment left the democratic ticket fighting his shadow all day today. >> let me be clear, i strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for. >> the vice president and i have made it absolutely clear that we want everyone as a part of this.
8:09 pm
>> reporter: all day long harris tried to dance around the presidents remark while salvaging her closing message, that trump is the hateful one. >> unlike donald trump, i do not believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. you know, he talks about the enemies from within. when i am elected, i will walk in with a to-do list focused on -- [cheering and applause] >> reporter: but the fallout has continued. hunter biden said in an interview today that he sees half of america that would elect trump as a "fascist minority. out tonight the white house is facing fresh questions about whether they deceptively alter the transcript and make it look like the president was not denigrating all trump supp supporters. house oversight committee chairman calling it an apparent violation of the presidential records act. in light of that, we asked the white house if the stenographers signed off on the transcript
8:10 pm
they released, which is protocol by the way. we further asked for the official transcript if they did not sign off but despite multiple follow-ups, we got no answer from them. meantime as the vice president was delivering remarks in wisconsin, president biden grabbed more headlines for -- babies at a halloween party. gentle and playful but the still photos made him look more like commander the german shepherd then commander in chief. president biden's debacle with the garbage comment followed reports that the campaign has been rebuffing his offers to get out on the campaign trail because they are wary of his gaffes. as of tonight he does not have any campaign travel on his schedule. >> trace: jacqui heinrich in madison, thank you. it looks like the elections big october surprise is compliments of the sitting president himself as the fallout from joe biden's garbage comment continues.
8:11 pm
senior national correspondent kevin corke live in d.c. with the latest on this. kevin, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, trace. "newsweek" of all places may have put it best, asking the simple question, is joe biden's garbage comment kamala harris is deplorable moment? it certainly is worth considering. after all when biden responded to the looming blowback over the comedians joke about puerto rico at the trump rally this weekend, he proceeded then to apparently disparage half the country, saying the only garbage i see floating out there is his supporters. he certainly -- trump's backers of homes there are tens of millions. president trump and probably rolled out a trump branded garbage truck and even sported a reflective vest at his rally tonight. before you dismiss mr. biden's comments is being those of a man who may have, i don't know, lost a bit off his fastball, critics argue it's part of a pattern of
8:12 pm
behavior. biden after all previously said the maga movement threatens american democracy and maga republicans in congress have chosen to go backwards, full of anger, violence, eight and division. still unbowed, the white house his press secretary today as ever defended her boss. >> i think that that says a lot about who joe biden is, that he wanted to make sure it was clear that he was talking about a comedian and the hateful rhetoric coming from the comedian. >> reporter: valiant effort to clean up on aisle five but very late in the process. >> trace: kevin corke live in d.c., thank you. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ the "fox news @ night" common sense department always gets a good laugh at the white house press briefing but today it was extra entertaining especially when karine jean-pierre said the president biden would never say anything bad about those who back president trump.
8:13 pm
it's her way of saying that joe biden never called trump supporters garbage. one day after joe biden called trump supporters garbage. the argument isn't about whether president biden said it, he said it all right, the argument is whether he meant it. common sense thanks it's hard to argue he did not mean it when his reputation precedes him. this is the very joe biden that has called trump supporters "megamall go and semi fascist. accuse them of destroying democracy, threatening the character of the nation and saying they do not believe in the rule of law. in other words, common sense thanks biden's garbage comments looks and walks like a doc. the left is twisting and turning trying to spin and lie and scramble to clean it up. tim walz says the garbage comment does not undermine kamala harris unity message because honestly, what's more unifying than calling half the country refuse we common sense
8:14 pm
thanks its time for the left to apologize. they see garbage everywhere and there is not a single item to recycle. let's bring in california assemblywoman kate sanchez, fox news contributor jason chaffetz and chuck schumer's former policy advisor jim kessler. welcome to all of you. jason, here's trump in the garbage truck and he had this to say, watch. >> i think the comment made by both of them, about being garbage, may be hundred 50 million people. this is the deplorable. >> trace: politically speaking, what do you think of the optic and the strategy with that? >> i think donald trump is perhaps the best retail politician of my lifetime. he knows how to seize on a moment, continue to make an issue, private home and distinguish himself versus the comments. -- drive it home -- i love your
8:15 pm
common sense, you heard it, he said it, and it's the repetitive nature of the democrats continuing to beat this drum and say that the voters supporters of more than half the nation are somehow political. called garbage, deplorable's, whatever it is, this is a pattern, it's what they do and it's divisive. >> trace: jim kessler, kamala was asked about the garbage comment and she did not answer. watch. >> you sympathize with any voters who feel offended by the garbage comments? >> i will repeat over and over again, i am sincere and what i mean. when elected president of the united states, i will represent all americans, including those who don't vote for me, and address their needs and their desires. >> trace: she knows she's going to get the question, why not come up with an answer? >> i think it's a pretty good answer.
8:16 pm
i think joe biden was referring to the people on the stage. i also think it's time for joe biden to get off the stage. this was not a good moment for him, it wasn't a good moment for kamala harris, but i've got news for the trump team, he's running against kamala harris, not against joe biden and i think donald trump wishes he were running against joe biden. kamala harris is a lot harder to beat. it's why she did not want a debate. he backed out of the debate with her. she's tough, she had a spectacular night. granted, joe biden but some clouds in the sky, but she was very good and he wishes he was running against him not her. >> trace: meantime, kate, it's also there's garbage comment is affecting the senate race because you have this, i want to play this, this is mccormick against his opponent bob casey. >> i would say in the case of
8:17 pm
joe biden, he has the kind of integrity that is uncommon. >> trace: yeah, i mean is it effective? >> the only people spewing divisive rhetoric right now are the far democrats. i can tell you for certain donald trump is uniting this country and he's going to fight for us through november. >> trace: a michigan reporter questioned harris about this and here's what she said, jason chaffetz. >> the average person can't afford groceries or rent and recent polls in michigan show that michigan voters believe that donald trump would do a better job with 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 won't forget where i come from. my mother worked very hard. by the time i was a teenager she was able to save up for our first home. >> trace: this was today, jason, not two months ago. she's still using middle-class, still using the very same
8:18 pm
answer. i'm going to try to get everybody in on this. 90 seconds left, jason first. >> kamala harris is even worse than joe biden. that was a nonanswer on the most important topic. two thirds of the country believes the country's off-track. if she had solutions she should have done them over the last four years and she hasn't. >> trace: jim kessler, she's been asked this question a thousand times and she still giving us the middle class child? >> she is a middle-class child. look, whatever you want to say about her answer, she has close the gap on the economy and jim almost she has almost pulled even with donald trump in the blue states. she's making gains and it's undeniable. >> trace: the hitler strategy, what you think about that? the economy, the hitler strategy, what is your take? >> the people of california are hurting and we need new direction, new leadership and we have given kamala harris or chance. it's time for her to go. >> trace: thank you all.
8:19 pm
one of the new elements of this election cycle is how different the campaign strategies are, like tiktok being used to attract a new generation of voters. jeff paul is live with that story tonight. >> reporter: as you know the 2024 election cycle is anything but normal and a lot of it has to do with the outreach to younger voters. honor the days of the elaborate rock about concerts and targeted ads on networks like mtv, it's all about social media and specifically tiktok and podcasts. >> our right to vote is under attack. >> i hear a lot of great things about you too. >> did you vote? >> i think you and your listeners have really got this thing right, which is one of the best ways to communicate with people is to be real. >> all i know is my kids say dad, you have no idea how big this interview is. >> reporter: while sit down sans podcasts can last hours, tiktok focuses on quick video
8:20 pm
clips the last a few seconds. both formats can create buzz and views but in some cases accounts with millions of followers can potentially have a huge influence on who's watching. >> influencers definitely play a role in this. this is -- even if it's not contracted by either party, it's who they are talking about, who they are supporting, who they are endorsing. all of those things will have an impact on their audience. >> reporter: if you are shaking your head at home, a recent research study shows 86% of 18-29-year-old prefer to get their news from digital sources. tv, painfully 8%. print though 3%. >> trace: they have to start watching. thank you. now for our nightly journey behind the latest poll numbers let's bring in pollster sean trende. great to have you. i want to put this up on the thing. you are familiar with this stuff. this is the historical averages. trump leads in 4 of 6 of the battleground states.
8:21 pm
and then he's also in the national league. to these averages, do you think they are the best barometer? >> absolutely. there's some fancy math i will spare you but the basic idea is that the more polls you get, the closer you move to the real number, if you average them together. so absolutely you should look at the poll averages before anything else. >> trace: the cnn guru, the numbers guy said this about underestimating the trump vote. watch. >> if the polls are going to underestimate donald trump once again, that would be historically unprecedented. maybe you want to make the argument that donald trump himself is historically unprecedented but what normally happens is the pollsters catch on, we are underestimating, not taking into account some part of the electorate, they make adjustments and i think that helps to explain why we have never seen that the same party has been underestimated three times in a row in presidential elections over the last 52 years. >> trace: do you think the
8:22 pm
trump undercount is over? >> i don't really know. i like harry and i think he's a great analyst but we don't actually have that many presidential elections going back 53 years. it's a small sample size. more importantly i think there are certain things about donald trump that make his supporters, a certain sub-sect of them not want to answer the phone. high i'm from msnbc, will you take my pole? no. >> trace: i want to put these up quickly because this is fox's it was polling. pennsylvania, harris and trump deadlocked, 48 each. north carolina, harris and trump, trump leads 49-47. what does that tell you? >> this is a close election. everyone who wants to make a difference needs to get out and vote because this is close and you don't want to wake up today after thinking thinking man i could have made a difference. >> trace: could have made a difference. thank you for coming on the show, we appreciate your time. coming up, the many ways the mainstream media is trying to

8:29 pm
several different approaches to try to explain away president biden's garbage remarks. some are blaming a punctuation error. >> the question of an ', really. >> reporter: others say their mistake was a result of the president long thought speech impediment. >> the president always has that battle against stuttering and that seemed to be a parent in this as well. clearly this is a verbal gaffe that is problematic politically. >> reporter: others are turning the table on, you guessed it, donald trump's payment regardless of weather he did or not, he came out and clarified. kamala harris has distanced herself. trump has not once clarified anything he's said. >> reporter: not everyone is convinced though by these arguments. former cnn personality called the white houses explanation laughable and current cnn host said this... >> the white house is trying to
8:30 pm
say that what president biden was saying, they are putting an 'there. it's hard to really look at that when you could listen to it for yourself. >> reporter: and one writer for "the washington post" pointed out that regardless of what biden said, the lesson is that democrats should "probably be glad that guy who keeps stepping in it like this isn't actually leading their take it anymore." >> trace: ashley strohmier live in new york, thank you. that's bring in rnc creator and pro-israel activist emily austin along with political commentator james klüg, thank you for coming on. emily, i want to play some sound, msnbc political analyst who says that trump supporters are the ones that are pearl clutching over this whole thing. >> these folks think they can say and do anything and be as insulting and as mean-spirited as they want to be and when they are called out on it, they clutch their pearls. it's a kind of hypocrisy that is
8:31 pm
mind-numbing. >> trace: so the comedian says it at madison square garden and it's hate and biden says it and it's overblown. >> here's the biggest difference. i don't -- a comedian at a trump rally making a joke who i will remind everyone, he makes jokes about every single race, every demographic, every religion, he chooses everyone to make fun of, is very different than the sitting president of the united states not making a joke, calling people garbage. they are incomparable. talk about hypocrisy. there was only one proper solution to biden's big mistake that just handed trump the election, it's an accountability problem. instead of doubling down a coming up with excuses i've heard everything between he's senile, stuttered, everything but an apology. say you made a mistake, apologize and move on with it but they will never take accountability. >> trace: when the comedian
8:32 pm
said garbage, the media melted down and we have the proof. watch. >> obviously those comments about puerto rico are disgusting and hateful. >> it was so incredibly crude. >> calling puerto rico garbage, basically calling puerto ricans trash. >> he made plenty of other horrifying remarks about latinos but they are too x-rated to play here. >> trace: who's clutching pearls, james? >> they are. i mean look at this selective outrage. as emily said, this is an insult comedic. we can have this debate on weather this was appropriate at a trump rally. whatever, he makes fun of everybody. and those are lies right there. he's not -- in the joke he wasn't talking about the people, he's referring to unfortunately the garbage problem that puerto rico does have. this obviously isn't about the comedian that made a joke.
8:33 pm
this is about getting donald trump. >> trace: it really is. a republican pollster said that the garbage comment, even though joe biden said it, it could be very damaging and here's what her explanation was and i will get your response. >> that's why this comment is so potentially damaging. when people feel like that candidate does not like me, you will go to the mat for the side you think does. >> trace: it's one of those things you are like why are they constantly telling us we are horrible people? she's trying to win people over to her side who are right on the fence and you have this kind of thing. people are like no, i'm not going over there. >> it shows their hypocrisy because kamala and walz are running on this campaign. it started with the happy vibes campaign and then we are the party for all americans, the party of unity. how are you going to unite a country where right now the election is allegedly 50/50 so
8:34 pm
you are calling 50% of the country garbage people, biden is an kamala is an extension of biden's presidency whether people want to acknowledge that are not. how dare you call yourself the party of unity when you go out and spread this rhetoric that they are accusing donald trump of but they are the divisive ones themselves? >> trace: then you go back to kamala's closing argument last night in a cnn pundit saying that putting kamala in front of the white house is, as he said it, political malpractice. watch. >> 68% of americans think the country is on the wrong track and they blame joe biden and increasingly kamala harris. by standing in front of the white house tonight she's going to own all 68% of that disapproval. >> trace: it's a fair assessment because that is the one thing, you are like it's optics. have a politics is optics. what do you think of the optics there, james? >> i mean the optics are horrible but quite honestly, i think it's pretty fitting for her campaign. she represents what biden
8:35 pm
represents which is open borders, high crime, i inflation and that's really her comfort zone, you know, not appealing to the working-class americans that are struggling with these multiple crises. she appeals to the political elite. really her comfort zone. >> trace: do you agree with that or disagree, emily? >> i agree. i think the worst part is they always call trump a threat to democracy. you tell me, what is a bigger threat to democracy than putting kamala is a front runner for the democratic party went not one person voted for her to be there? talk about a bigger threat to democracy than that. everything they accuse the republicans of doing, it's projection of their own faults. now the american people are starting to see it. i'm happy this is coming out now. >> trace: emily, james, thank you both. voters join us live to explain their presidential picks next and you maybe shocked by what they have to say. plus, a pair of michigan brothers racking up thousands of dollars in fines for flying a trump banner on their own land.

8:42 pm
country deciding what is most important to them as they cast their ballots in this presidential election. let's get a few of those opinions from california voter nikki bostwick along with michigan voter and retired business owner dan rittenhouse. thank you for coming on. dan, your story is fascinating because you have a piece of land, you are in iron mountain, michigan, you had a smokestack on your piece of land and you put it trump sign on there and now the mayor says you need to take it down. he has find you a bunch of times and he says you are violating the law. what are you doing wrong exactly? >> well that's the question. they keep changing what the ordinance violations seem to be. he's changed about three or four times and so, you know, he cites us for one thing and that does not stick so he tries another thing. that originally did not start out as a political event. it was just a tower we referred to that we own and we decided to call it trump tower, kind of in
8:43 pm
celebration of donald trump, a great president of the united states, and kind of in remembrance of election day which is a holiday in michigan. so the mayor ended up being really upset. we heard from numerous sources that he kind of blew a cork again at the local gas station and people came over and told us about it which really perplexed me because i thought it was not only a first amendment right, it's our property, we have every entitlement to be able to do it but why would he be so upset about a simple ordinance violation? that was the big question. it kind of went on from there and they are trying to find us $500 a day. somewhere between five and $6000 at this point. >> trace: meantime i want to bring in nikki bostwick because she was a former democrat, right? you were really really bummed out when trump won in 2016, now you are a trump supporter. what happened along the way?
8:44 pm
>> i guess i just stopped being brainwashed by the mainstream media and i started honestly i got rid of my tv and i started listening to trump when he spoke and not listening to what other people said that he said. really during covid i just, my eyes were wide open. i was appreciative of the policies that he was mentioning and i really care about freedom. that was a big reason why i voted for him last time even though as a lifelong democrat and a mother of two, the policies i really care about are the environment and health care, ending the forever wars. what i really liked about him and continue to like about him is that he did not start any wars. i really care about the environment and health care like i said and the democrats, if they actually cared they would talk about preventative measures that should be covered by insurance and they would talk about personalized medicine that should be covered instead of
8:45 pm
one-size-fits-all protocols that they are pushing. over the last 12 out of 16 years they haven't made a measurable impact. >> trace: maybe rfk will help you out on that. >> i really care about rfk. one of the most important movements of our lifetime. combined with trump, his foreign policy and the border security, i care a lot about that with my children here in laguna beach. we've seen boats capsized recently, several times over the last couple weeks. it's a serious issue. >> trace: dan, i want to say, if trump wins, i have to believe the mayor in your town will go nuts. are you going to keep fighting? >> yes, we are. we think it's a first amendment right. we don't think there's any reason why we should take it down. we think the mayor and city manager are just merely using their position as law fair, just like they are to preside president trump, using the law against us. we intend on continuing to fight

i fully believe, and i'm not exaggerating, joe biden has determined kamala's fate by his dumb comment about trump supporters being garbage and now -- and then trump's stunt in the garbage truck today. it's a done deal. maga. >> trace: speaking of winning and losing, kevin corke, the dodgers just beat the yankees in the world series. world series champions. but do you think the presidential race will be over by this time next week? >> four games to one, we should be a shove as ravine. no, we will still be counting. i think it should be done by the end of the night. it won't be but i think eventually we will not be surprised by the outcome of this year's election. >> trace: ashley strohmier. >> i hope it's a quick one and that we know fairly quickly because i think americans are over the economy issues we are having, the open border policies and i would really hope that people would vote with the best interest of the unborn in mind.
