stuart: marc thiessen is here with us, former presidential speech writer. to see the president three times today. did he appear strong on his way out? >> first of all, he didn't decide, he was pushed out. this wasn't a budgetary stepping down from -- voluntary stepping down from power. put that in context. joe biden is the most catastrophic foreign policy president in my lifetime. he actually raised the iraq withdrawal as one of his great accomplishments. the iraq withdrawal led directly to rise of isis caliphate, which they seized the territory the size of great britain, beheaded americans, and carried out 143 terrorist attacks in 29 countries killing 2,000 people. and he considers that an accomplishment. then he talked about the afghanistan withdrawal, which was the worst foreign policy debacle in my lifetime. we all remember the images of people hanging and falling from american planes leaving the kabul airport and the 13 americans killed at abby gate who died because joe biden handed the air base to the taliban. that led directly to putin's invasion of u

agent and phil holloway and marc thiessen. bobby, i want to start with you. i'm reading through this indictment and it says eric adams, the mayor of new york city, also sought -- these are allegations against him, and received other improper benefits from some of the same co-conspirators who funneled straw donations to his campaigns. in particular a senior official in the turkish diplomatic establishment known as the turkish official from here on out in the indictment who facilitated many donations to adams and arranged for adams and holy spirit companions to receive free or discounted travel on the turkish national airline. tell me about the details in the indictment and what the investigation looks like from your perspective of someone who has done a lot of investigation? >> sure. there are three phases of that investigation. the one where you are looking for stuff that nobody knows about, you are monitoring phones and monitoring emails and then it goes more overt. you get subpoenas and get the documentary evidence and third phase is approaching people that

marc thiessen, thanks for the deeper analysis than what i just offered. chel: i want the talk more about that. jill's not giving him any more botox? that's a great topic. [laughter] all right. thanks, will. turning now to your headlines. pennsylvania's democratic senator john fetterman saying he believes support for trump has only grown stronger in the key swing state ever since the first failed assassination attempt. >> -- can has a special kind of place in pennsylvania, and i think that only deepened after that first assassination attempt. there is energy and there's kinds of anger on the ground in pennsylvania. and people are very committed and trump is going to be strong. and if that's -- we have to respect that. rachel: trump remains the only gop presidential candidate since 1988 to win the keystone state. >>> venezuela's exiled opposition leader says he left for spain if after being told nicholas maduro's socialist security forces were coming for him. edmundo gonzalez said if he stayed, he could have been jailed and possibly tortured. they've done th

mark these marc thiessen is -- marc thiessen is with us this morning.till don't know where harris stands on the issues. that was one of my takeaways. how about you? >> 100%, you're right. look, i mean, they -- the moderators were terrible. they asked for one question about having flip-flopped, and she delivered a word salad about how she supports the middle class, said she would take them on one by one and didn't, and they didn't follow up. but when donald trump says something, they start fact-checking him in realtime. this is a candidate who, you know, she referred to the your project 2025, which they didn't correct. it's not his project 25, it's the heritage foundation. he dissociated himself, but they didn't challenge her on project 20219 which is her entire agenda the that she campaigned on in her own words.

. >> ainsley: marc thiessen wrote a op-ed. knock her out of the race in this one debate. saying she has had cringe worthy word salads but that donald trump has some risks as well. he can't come in too hot. number one he says that donald trump needs to remind swing voters of what they like about him and his policies. and he says, you know, donald trump will get on stage and say, you know, stick -- everyone is telling me stick to my policies, don't get personal. yet, the democrats are personal all night long. we saw that at the dnc. says when he focuses on policy, he reminds swing voters of what they liked about his presidency. number two, steve, do you want to take that? >> steve: don't remind swing voters of what they don't like about him. and, you know, there are -- you know, would very heard a lot of people talk about okay. donald trump, get too personal and that is terrible for him. stick to policy. >> ainsley: don't mention january 6th. if you do, you are going to lose. kamala will try to bait him into defending january 6th. and he can't take that bait. >> steve: we w

which is 55 days to go until election day, did the debate wih a needle document marc thiessen, formerr at the white house, a "washington post" columnist, fox news contributor, and of course good friend to all of us. the consensus was that for the most part kamala harris had a good night last night. it was probably a moment that would have affected her more than the former president because people want to see if she falls flat on her face were engages in word salad. it might be over for her. she seemed to hold her own, but do you think it moved the needle? >> as someone who was in the pentagon on september 11th, 2001, seeing that picture of them together was very edifying. a very different story last night. [laughs] the fundamentals of the election, she needed to do better. she's behind, first of all, and people don't know who she is, so she needed to have a good night. everyone knows who donald trump it is. i don't think last night changed the fundamentals of the election. if you look at "the new york times" siena poll that just came out, this is a change election. 61% want major chan

marc thiessen said to call her madam vice president, to remind she has been in office the last 3-1/2ears. >> brian: when raskin was asked this question, is kamala harris the best running mate for joe biden? she came back and said he thinks she is. jamie raskin was asked, i don't know. they knew she was a problem. they wanted to say if joe biden gets too old at 86, we have a great running mate and she was not, she had 32% approval rating. if you think there is bad opinion of kamala harris, listen what she thinks about republicans. >> there are people who will never be happening shall we say inclined toy support democrats because of -- they just have a different orientation against women, peachel of color, lgbtq, they will not be there. that is say 30% or something like that of republicans. then you have very rich people who do not want to pay taxes or have regulation of clean air, clean water, any of that. deal with that. not as many very rich people. a lot of money goes into a campaign. >> lawrence: her friend. i find it interesting this is what this electric has become about now. it

joining us now, mollie hemingway, editor and chief of the federalist and marc thiessen speech writerush, both fox news contributors. mollie, it seems like the harris campaign is already trying to get out in front of the damsel in distress narrative. watch. >> she is her own candidate. she is the president's vice president. she is very proud of the record that they have accomplished together. and she has been proud to support and be a key player in so many of the key achievements of this administration. but she is her own candidate. and she has her own views. >> laura: that cnn host didn't even seem to believe that i am woman hear me roar through a spokesman. >> it has been amazing to watch this campaign where kamala harris is afraid. truly afraid to talk to the media. which is a weird situation. because the corporate press. they are already with her. they want her to win. and she is afraid to even talk to them. she is the incumbent vice president. she has a failed presidency. with president biden. but the arguement in democrats seems to be don't worry so much about kamala harris dojt

thank you, m marc thiessen, gret to have you on. >> i weight 95 pounds and couldn't defend myself if i had to. after living in this home for 45 years. he said it's time to pack up and leave. he said we can't do this anymore. it's killing both of us. liz: okay, even more sound of voters speaking out. this voter in ohio they say the biden white house and kamala harris ignited a really bad historic border crisis and then abandoned them to a taxpayer and housing crisis that this white house created in their hometowns. tonight, former president trump acting dhs secretary chad wolf takes that on. and biden doj smokesman now apoll -- spokesman apologizes for slamming da bragg and fani wilson's case against trump and first, more details on the damming house foreign affairs report and how the biden harris white house botched the exit out of afghanistan. top military intelligence commanders and nato allies said do not do it this way. but they lied about it to cover it up to the american people. congressman cory mills, a former army sniper, he'll take it on next. >> only ones that are doing any

marc thiessen is a former speech writer for former president bush and he has a what the hell podcast that i love. the numbers came out from dhs. a letter saying how many criminals are roaming around. the numbers were staggering. dhs said this. the data in the letter is being misinterpreted. it goes back decades. it includes individuals who entered the country over the past 40 years or more. the vast majority of those custody determination was made long before this administration and many under the jurisdiction and currently incarcerated by local, state law enforcement partners. kamala harris on friday at the border call for number four. this is what she said here. >> there are consequential issues at stake in this election. and one is the security of our border. the united states is a sovereign nation. and i believe we have a duty to set rules at our border and to enforce them. and i take that responsibility very seriously. we are also a nation of immigrants. >> dana: i will ask the roll room to put up while you're speaking call for number two. show the dramatic numbers of how many n

bring in our panel, "the washington post" columnist, american enterprise institute senior fellow marc thiesseningway editor and chief at "the federalist." okay, mark, where do you see it right now. >> as you said, it's a tight race. if you along at the rcp average not a single swing state that's outside the margin of error. the bases on both sides are energized. kamala harris is energized and biden is off the ticket and they feel they have a fighting chance to win this thing after the attempt trump's base going to walk over hot coals to elect him. this is all going to be decided by a handful of swing voters and states. last election 43918 votes in three states. trump, if he wants to win. they has to focus on the tens of thousands of swing voters who don't like the direction the country. think we are heading in the wrong direction but not sure about putting him back in the oval office. he has to assuage their concern and give them permission to vote in their self-interest. they liked his policies. they don't love him. >> bret: mollie. >> i like it look how pollsters perform historic hadly. go t

"the washington post" columnist, american enterprise institute senior fellow marc thiessen and mollie in those numbers? >> interesting poll. coming out of august where kamala harris had a really good month. she had her convention. she had a debate performance that people said was nag any if i sent and she is up 2 points. and so if you are kamala harris supporter, it's got to be a little disappointing. you think about what fox news was saying about biden's position versus trump four years ago, they had him up 5 to 10 points. >> bret: it was 9 at this point. >> you know, you look at these issues like the economy, immigration, and trump still seems to have a lot of strength there. and those fundamentals are really going to dictate a lot for the race. >> you look at one of these other little tabs here, juan, close 2020 counties. counties very close in 2020 and battleground states. it is the other way, 50/48 donald trump really what it comes down electoral college vote. the democrats have to be up 4, 5 points to really swing those electoral college states. >> juan: she is up in the quinnip

both sides talking about rhetoric and about violence meantime marc thiessen talked.t to democracy. he does however portray democrats on capitol hill who are taking congressional investigations into the assassination seriously. quote one thing i will say that the investigation that is going on is believe it or not it seems to be nonpartisan. i don't think they want it to happen to me either. but, rhetorically, it's very dangerous what they do. here is the former democratic nominee and former secretary of state last night. >> i don't understand why it's so difficult to have the press have consistent narrative how dangerous trump is. we can't go back and give this very dangerous man another chance to do harm to our country and the world. >> bret: vice presidential nominee j.d. vance says here is hillary clinton calling for civil and criminal penalties for a speech he disagrees with about why stop opponents. calling for censorship really calling for violence. reject censorship, reject violence. that's j.d. vance. with that bring in our panel ryan host of new hampshire to

. >> marc thiessen writes that kamala hasn't been able t to answer the most simple and obvious question. ifswer you were elected, what wd you do on day one? how can someone run for rea president of the united states and not have it ready? answer to that question. she had nothing to offer but a cringe inducing word salad. a moment like that on the debate stage with tens of millions watching could be fatal. >> the risk for trump is getting in the mud or appearing angry. >> peggy noonan writes that trump needs to present himself as cal m, reasonable,re laidback, even friendly. he shoulgiond walk across b the stage, give america a break, and shake his opponent's hand. t he should let the game come to him. if donal d trump runsam on the return of the american dream and ties kamala to biden, he'll walknt right back into the whito the house. >> his advisers are urging him to come out tomorrow. is happy. s p,trump not bully trump.says, but like mike tyson says, everybody has a plan till you get punched in the fac te. >> tulsi gabbard is part of the trump transition team and she is here. so, tul
