Who knew that dana was that demanding . We knew. Bret shes going to be great. See you guys. Good evening. I i im breath bear. The site of tonights republican debate, hosted by fox business, simulcast on fox news and fox nation. Well get to that in moments. The massive influx of migrants at the Southern Border Proving to be a life and death situation, forcing officials to take a version step. Well bring you that. The House OversightCommittee Chairman produces new allegations against the president s son ahead of tomorrows first Impeachment Inquiry Hearing. Disorder and chaos hit a flash as a Flash Mob Loots and damages several stores. The stage is set. We are just three hours away from seven president ial candidates making their pitch to you, the voters, at tonights republican debate. President ial hopefuls will try to convince you why theyre the best option to tackle major issues like the economy, immigration, education and more. Correspondent bill malugen is here. The bottom line for tonights debate, if any of the candidates want to be the gop nominee, they have to find a way to shake up this race, cut into Donald Trumps huge lead in the polls. Tonight they have a chance to go after not only donald trump but each other. These candidates, each of them, have to have a moment where they break out and say i am the great communicator. It is officially debate night in simi valley, where seven president ial candidates square off at the Ronald Reagan president ial library. Former President Trump is skipping the debate, but thats not stopping some of the candidates from calling him out. He said he was going to drain the swamp. They didnt drain the swamp. He still defends hiring christopher wray, he didnt fire marfauci. Former governor Chris Christie is posting on x trump told everyone he was going to build us a big, Beautiful Wall and mexico would pay for it. We got 52 miles of wall and havent received a peso from mexico. This disaster at the border is just as much his fault as it is bidens. Former Governor Asa Hutchinson didnt qualify for the debate. He said if he is not polling at 4 by thanksgiving, he may drop out. Thats what i need to make. If im not at that point by my deadline which is thanksgiving, well reconsider where we are. Today, the rnc is drawing parallels to 1980 when Ronald Reagan beat jimmy carter. The last time a republican beat a democrat incumbent president. I think there are a lot of similarities with the world as it is today, with joe biden failing the American People and biden am imcompetents and plagues. Time for republicans to take back the white house. And bret, we talked to three campaigns about expectations. Nikki haley extremists the knives will be out for her after a strong first debate. Vivek ramaswamy says they wont be surprised if things get sporty. Ron desantis plans to make it clearest the only one on the stage with a proven conservative record to run on. Well send it back to you. Bill, thank you. As republicans get ready to take the debate stage here at the Reagan Library, back in washington, the threat of a Government Shutdown and tomorrows Impeachment Inquiry Hearing into President Biden and his son taking center stage. White house correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has details from the north lawn. Good evening. Good evening, bret. It doesnt appear the president will be Pay Attention to republicans aiming to take the white house or even to the scramble on capitol hill to avert a government shounz. He has two two fundraiser in california, then heads to phoenix for some more. All signs point to more pressure ahead when he gets home. I dont think anything is inevitable in politics. President biden staying optimistic, despite no Movement AmongHouse Republicans on a budget bill to pass both chambers. If i knew that, i would have done it already. The president calls on house gop members to do their job, his team isnt wasting a chance to call out republican priorities, as two Impeachment Inquiry Committees unveil new evidence days before a possible shutdown. Theyre doing it because they dont want to talk about their shutdown. They want everybody to focus on their attacks on the president. The impeachment stunt that even members of their own party said they dont have the evidence to do. Tuesday, the Oversight Committee produced new allegations about money wired to hunter biden. The beneficiary address listed was joe bidens home address. White house counsels office swatting it down. He is making unfounded claims, frankly lies, saying the president took money from Foreign Countries when they have no evidence to back it up. You maintain he never took a dollar from any of the Business Deals . Correct. Today, republicans on the ways and Means Committee unveiled 700 more pages of irs whistleblower material they say shows the doj mishandling of Hunter Bidens case and raises questions about joe bidens involvement. The very existence of this file makes it abundantly clear that irs investigators were concerned there was in fact a connection between Hunter Bidens global influence pedalling, joe biden, and official u. S. Government activity. Democrats on the committee had a different take. They presented nothing that was new. Very incomplete, if anything. I invite you to sift through it, if you can find anything points a finger with direct evidence against President Biden. House speaker Kevin Mccarthy shot back at the claim republicans arent doing their jobs saying it is bidens Border Policies that created the challenges in the funding battle. Now republicans have to make sure the president is doing his job, too, bret. Jacqui heinrich on the north lawn. Thanks. The surge of migrants on the Southern Border Left authorities with no good options. Allow them in or risk human lives. Griff jenkins is in eagle pass, texas where razor wire is proving to be no deterrent. The humanitarian crisis at the southwest border is only getting worse. More than 11,000 migrants in the past 24 hours, for the second time this week. A record setting pace. Texas is trying to deter the surge as Border Patrol scrambles to process thousands of new arrivals. You can see 50 or more migrants gathering, waiting, trying to get past razor wire. You have texas dps and special guard holding them back. [ speaking Foreign Language ] her name is ana. Says shes coming for opportunity. As the crowd grows, the temperature rises, Border Patrol makes the call to cut the wire. For the safety of migrants already on u. S. Soil. The Texas National guard assists, a temporary victory for the migrants. The optics are terrible. The optics show the border is open, come on down. But the facts are theyre already in the United States. It is incredible. Border patrol Chief Jason Owens who visited eagle pass yesterday says over the past 11 months they apprehended more than 12,500 migrants with criminal backgrounds. A reminder not all arriving are innocent. 2,000 miles away in the big apple, Texas Governor greg abbott often criticized for busing migrants north says dont blame him. The lead importer of migrants to new york is not texas. It is joe biden. And most of the migrants are here from venezuela. They first made the trip through the dangerous gap between panama and colombia, crossed through costa rica where the president there declared a State Of Emergency over the migrants passing through his country. Griff, thanks. Stocks were mixed today. The dow dropped 69, the nasdaq added 29. Democratic senator bob menendez pled not guilty to Bribery Charges in Federal Court today. That comes as an expanding list, more than half the Democratic Senators are now calling on the new jersey democrat to resign. Correspondent brian yen he is is outside the courthouse. Today, senator bob menendez and his wife nadine both pled not guilty in Manhattan Federal Court before being released on bond. I was deeply disappointed, disturbed, when i read the indictment. For the first time on camera, Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer commented on the federal Bribery Charges against his fellow democrat, stopped short in calling for his resignation. We all know that senators, for senators, theres a much, much higher standard. Tomorrow he will address the Democratic Caucus and well see what happens after that. The pressure is mounting as at least 30 democrat senators are calling on him to step down, including the number two democrat, dick durbin. Why wont you resign . Because im innocent. Two of menendezs alleged coconspirators pled not guilty for bribing the senator with a mercedesbenz, gold bars, and half a Million Dollars in cash, found in his home. Menendez has been here before. His 2017 Corruption Trial ended in a mistrial. Even his Democrat Senate colleagues say this time is different. The last time theres been a man with so much cash in their home in new jersey was tony soprano. I mean, it is not a close call. And prosecutors say senator menendez took bribes from egyptian born new jersey businessman will hannah. He pled not guilty yesterday. Fox news can confirm the fbi is now looking into whether Counter Intelligence officials from egypt are involved in this bribery scheme. Now, if convicted, he and his wife face up to 45 years behind bars. Brian, thank you. What can republican president ial candidates do tonight to separate themselves from the pack. Brit hume joins me to discuss. The center of the reagan bribe, the center of the debate visually above the candidates is obviously Air Force One. President Reagans Air Force one. Traveled more than 660,000 miles, took a trip to 26 Foreign Countries. 46 u. S. States. This is the inside as you get a look, President Reagan wrote a lot of speeches as he was traveling here in the compartment on the front. This plane actually served seven u. S. President s, watch your head, a little tight here. Not as big as the Current Air Force one, but this is the place where the executives kind of met, talked about speeches. Heres a shot of reagan meeting with gorbachev in the historic moscow summit. As you go through the plane, a lot of different areas. It looks pretty old now, compared to the Air Force One of today. You think about what the plane meant for diplomacy, for his presidency, and it also is just a signal of his ability to get around the world and to take the message he was delivering all over the place. An optimistic message about the future of the u. S. Maybe well hear some of that tonight on the debate stage. Come on with me. Hi, guys, how are you. So this is the debate stage, alongside marine one for President Reagan. You see it is a beautiful venue. There will be seven candidates up here at these podiums. Well see how they do with following the rules from our debate moderators, dana, stewart, ilya. It will be exciting. It will be interesting to see if any of them do the 11th Commandment, thou shall not speak ill of another republican. I doubt it. Special report continues after the break.

President Ronald Reagan on the 11th Commandment i referenced earlier. Lets bring in brit hume. Good evening. Doubtful theyll get around the 11th Commandment tonight. Your thoughts on tonight and what youre looking for for the second debate. Of course, the first debate we hoped someone may break out and make it more of an actual race. As it is, it is a contest to be the alternative to donald trump. Whats striking since that debate, theres been shifting in polling One Direction or another for some of the candidates on the republican side, but the race is stable, one might argue frozen. Theres been real action on the democratic side where President Bidens standing continued to decline to the point where not only is donald trump even with him in some of the polls but ahead of him, which sparked a lot of worry in the Democratic Party about whether biden would look like a pure winner against trump to many people for a long time is a sure winner at all. It has been interesting to see the action is on the democratic side so far. What do you say when people ask you is this all over, is this just kind of running in circles here because he, the former president , is so far ahead. Obviously theyre all fighting to be the alternative to the former president and you dont have voting until january. Right. Well, his lead, Donald Trumps lead on the republican side proved remarkably durable. I continue to think something could happen that would hurt it. I dont know exactly what that would be, but when youre under indictment four times, things can happen. Had the ruling in new york yesterday which doesnt help mr. Trump. The truth is right now whats happening with mr. Biden is helping mr. Trump for the simple reason that one of the arguments against donald trump was that he couldnt beat biden because biden had beaten him once. Now with polling for the time being suggesting he could very well beat him, i think that helps the case for him. And Something Big would have to happen to change that, seems to me. Tonight as the debate stage is right under Ronald Reagans Air Force One, and Air Force One, i should note, that you traveled on covering different president s, but the Foreign Policy part of reagan and how he dealt with things, you know, it is much different today. When you look at ukraine particularly, we talked about it before, brit, about the Funding Question on ukraine, theres a real rift inside the Republican Party. You know, there is, bret, and a difference between the party of Ronald Reagan. He was preoccupied with the u. S. Standing in the world and struggle against the soviet empire. Obviously that cold war was won and won by the west and by the United States in particular. And a lot of the up and coming republicans now dont believe in the old reaganite ideals and preoccupations with the world. You hear arguments, were trying to protect ukraines border, were not protecting our own. It is a clever argument, i dont think it holds water when you think of it. Nonetheless, thats where the Republican Party is, that explains to great extent the difficulties that Kevin Mccarthy, for example, is having to keep ukraine funding in spending measures and struggling to get more effort made on the border and the rest of it. And thats a battle thats going to go on for the Republican Party for some time. It may well be reflected in the debate tonight. It may. Brit, as always, thank you. Thank you.

Philadelphia is on edge after large crowds of young looters wreak havoc on the city, ransacking multiple stores, damaging property. Comes as increasing number of retailers are closing shop over crime. Eric shawn has the story. Laughter amid the mayhem, brazen mobs went wild in city central philadelphia, looting stores, most with little consequence. About 100 people fueled by social media descended Downtown Breaking into the apple store, lululemon, will h Liquor Stores to seemingly steal as much as they could. Police officers arrested looters carrying plastic bags stuffed with items like clothes, sneakers, liquor, iphones and ipads. What we had tonight was a bunch of criminal opportunists take advantage of a situation, attempt to destroy our city. Not everyone seen in videos was taking part in looting. The rampage followed a peaceful protest after a judge dismissed Murder Charges against a Police Officer who fatally shot a man last month. Officials say the looting wasnt connected to that protest. It is the latest example of mass looting of stores, a wave that hit retail from mom and pop stops to Big Box Stores across the country. Mass shoplifting is causing target to close nine stores in major cities saying it cost the chain half a billion in profits. We need it here. We dont have anything else. Youve seen shoplifting, people steal stuff here . Yeah. How often . Like four times. What are you going to do, close one store after the other store after the other store in. Will you miss this target . I will. This target in east harlem is one of the stores that will shut because of crime. The closing will hurt residents, but target beefed up security were no match for the shoplifting invasion. Eric, thank you. New concerns regarding tens of billions of dollars being sent to ukraine to help with the war and humanity efforts against the russian invasion. Talked about that before with brit. U. S. Taxpayer dollars being used to fund many different kinds of programs. Most americans are not even aware of. Jillian turner has the story from washington. The Biden Administration spent 110 billion assisting ukraine since the start of russias invasion. It may come as a surprise not all of the money is being spent on the war effort. Seeds and fertilizer for small and industrial farmers. Salaries for ukraines entire work force of 57,000 first responders. 10,000 new jobs to boost ukraines economy and money for small and medium sized businesses to scale up. All initiatives u. S. Taxpayers are bank rolling and are well known to ukrainians. We understand, we would never make it without the United States and were not going to make it without the United States. The Biden Administration rolled out a 230 Million Program in july to begin rebuilding ukraines economy which the war has shrunk by a third. Here at home that news mostly flew under the radar. The additional money is meant to support ukraines economy and reconstruction by bowlering private sector productivity, job creation and exports. This revelation comes amid growing concern the u. S. Is providing too much support to ukraine in its war with russia. This according to abc news the Washington Post polling. Nearly 4 in 10 americans feel that way now as opposed to 33 in february and just 14 in april, 2022. This concerns at the heart of some republican lawmaker threats to withhold funding for the entire u. S. Government, prompting fears of a shutdown. I will not consent to easy passage of more money for ukraine. The American People need to know that we are out of money. Tonight, House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy is signaling to Senate Minority leader Mitch Mcconnell he will not advance the Spending Bill because it contains more money for ukraine. Bret . Thank you. Officials arrested the former head of a separatist government trying to cross into armenia following a blitz to regain control. The arrest appears to reflect their intention to enforce a grip on the region. The Military Offensive prompted rabid exodus of Tens Of Thousands of ethnic armenians. Azerbaijan officials have had two rounds of talks but no details have been made available. The u. S. Soldier who sprinted into north korea across the heavily fortified border between the koreas two months ago was released to american custody today. Travis kings expulsion almost certainly doesnt end his troubles, declared awol by the u. S. Government. Can mean punishment by time in military jail, forfeit you are of pay or dishonorable discharge. According to associated press, he will arrive in texas overnight. China and other foreign adversaries are gaining leverage over the u. S. Buying millions of acres of farmland. Thats what was testified to today. They say it is a matter of protecting our home land. Here is correspondent mark meredith. Food security is National Security. Tonight, the senate is examining how vulnerable americas security is as china and others spend billions to buy up u. S. Farmland through Shell Companies which can obscure the buyers identity. All of us know the same, theres lots of things you can get more of, theres not moreland. Usda is aware of Security Concerns but lack tools to fully know who is buying what and where. There is not currently system at the National State or local level that tracks deeds. Rural america is tracking the threat. They stopped a Chinese Company from building a corn mill near an Air Force Base over concerns it posed a security risk. And there are economic concerns. Farmers fear more foreign Land Purchases will further drive up their costs. The Chinese Government is running land prices up right here in the United States. We cant go to china and buy land in china. The issue making its way to the Campaign Trail where former u. N. Ambassador Nikki Haley Says the Biden Administration is not doing enough to ensure u. S. Land remains in american hands. China has been preparing for war with us for years. And thats not being dramatic. Theyre already here. Some experts believe chinas land grab is more about its own economic interests than National Security goals. At least two dozen states put restrictions in place regulating how foreigners can purchase land. Right now, theres no federal law banning these practices. Theres debate in congress now limiting on banning Land Purchases in the future. Bret . Mark, thank you. We are under two and a half hours from tonights republican debate.

He said it was a time for choosing, it was our rendezvous with destiny. I think this election is for our generation. Ronald reagan himself would be rolling over in his grave and is today knowing we depend on our adversary for our own defenses. The last of democratic incumbent president defeated was defeated by a republican governor, Ronald Reagan, from california. I can do the same thing. Well, the candidates likely are going to be referencing Ronald Reagan a lot here in the Reagan Library as the debate gets under way. You look at the debate stage, how theyre stacked. Florida Governor Ron Desantis in the middle, Vivek Ramaswamy and nikki haley on either side. Could be fiery, again, judging from the first one. Lets bring in the panel. Harold ford jr. , former tennessee congressman, cohost on the five. Kellyanne conway, and karl rove, former deputy chief of staff to president george w. Bush. From all of you. Two things you look for from the debate. Who are they going to try to pyile on and han handicap. Tried that with ron desantis. Nikki haley had a good night. I think theyll go after her a bit and get her to be more specific. Im looking for someone super gluing to a two and three point plan i can say a week, two weeks, a month from now, that person is going to do the following three things to cut taxes, to deregulate, to contain putin and xi jinping you c cans, to Recalibrate Trade deals. I dont remember anybody from five weeks ago in the debate you moderated in milwaukee coming up with a plan that makes me feel that person is ready on day one to be Commander In Chief. You cant just go for head lines and by lines, try to be funny, get everybody to laugh, clap, or boo. These are serious times, somber issues. Carl. Two things. Carl, can you hear me, two things about the debate . Im sorry, they were busy moving the bus. Two things for the debate. One is im looking for who does a good job making us feel at the end of the night they can be sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office Making the decisions we expect the Commander In Chief to make. They have to layout what they think are the big challenges facing the country and describe what they will do in a way thats forceful, strong, convincing. Second thing im looking at, who looks tonight like theyre comfortable on that stage . Last time around it was first time for a great many of them. Some of them sort of were overenergetic, some under energetic. Who looks comfortable and seems to be able to roll with the punches with whats going on on the stage. Theyre going to mix it up a lot more than they did in the first debate in all likelihood. I tried to squeeze you on. Sorry you have the bus. Try to get the bus moving. Harold. I agree with whats been said. You have to layout specificity. One is the economy. It implicates so many things, crime, border, border security. Even what happens in ukraine because of energy. I think youre absolutely right. I would love to hear how would you ensure america can produce our own energy in the next 10 to 20 years, how would you differ from joe biden and what we have been doing the last several years. Finally, how do you continue to derisk us from china. Whatever you want to say about joe biden, investments in Building Chips and making chips here and making other things in america only makes us stronger. I think kellyanne called it right, who looks comfortable. If you can look comfortable with that backdrop in this library and museum, youll convince a lot of americans you might be ready to be president. Heres the rnc chair about her expectations. Saying immi am great, not when you cant fill your car with gas. Gas is 5. 89. These candidates, each of them, have to have a moment they break out, say i am the great communicator, i am the reagan candidate that will take out a democrat incumbent like reagan did. You look at these polls, voter concerns, inflation, 91 , housing, 97 . Taxes, 75 . Those are big numbers. Here you have the president just a day ago h ing the picket line. Theres always a reagan tie. August, 1981 he stood up to the air Traffic Controllers union, 11,500 were fired in the wake of that. In the context of all that, how do you see this playing . Well, we all witnessed the presidency of Ronald Reagan. Joe biden is no Ronald Reagan. Well see who tonight can stand in their shoes. Joe biden yesterday spent like a hot minute, total of 90 minutes with workers. I dont think it was his best performance. Then he flew here to california, spent triple that time flying to california for a couple of fundraisers while he sends gavin newsom here as a surrogate, huge risk for joe biden whose numbers among democrats are so poor that theyre looking to replace him. I would argue kamala harris. When you show numbers like that in a fox news poll, 91 inflation, 75 housing cost, thats tripartisan agreement of what the issues are vexing and perplexing america. We want to hear solutions tonight, and i think for biden, i dont know why they all spend their time on trump, hes in everybodys head, hovering like a hologram, i got it, even though he is not here. At the same time, you want to be a republican nominee and beat joe biden, you need to transport us to a split screen of you and joe biden. None have done that. Carl, i think we moved the bus. I moved the bus. Good job. You got a white board, tell them to move on. You know, to kellyannes point, the former president is obviously a huge part of this, he is not here. Theyre fighting to be the alternative to the former president. What do you think has changed since that first debate to tonight . Well, i dont look so much at the numbers on the who people are voting for because the first thing is youve got to be willing to consider them. That was the number i was looking at in the Washington Post before and after polls on the first debate. Everybody on that stage had an increase in the percentage of the republican electorate that said they were open to voting for them. A couple were jaw dropping. Nikki haley went from 30 of republicans to 50 of republicans said im open to voting for her. At the end of the debate, among all of the republican candidates, both the ones there and ones that werent, the number one candidate was ron desantis. 67 i believe it was of republicans said they would vote, were open to voting for him. On the other hand, the one guy that wasnt there, the former president , he dropped. He was ahead of desantis before, 6 2 2 p after. Before you can vote for somebody, remember the republican primary electorate are just beginning to know these people. For nikki haley, 60 improvement in the percentage of republicans willing to consider voting for her, she had nine minutes out of 90 minutes, that says how republicans are open to considering different people as long as they get a chance to see them in places like the second debate tonight. Yeah. Thats a good point. The haley campaign, harold, is Pitching Electability based on recent polls, including the nbc poll where she beats President Biden by the most, 4641. Her campaign before this debate is pitching thats why she should be the person. Probably have a more credible argument today than six weeks ago. There are two unions, public union, air traffic control, private with uaw. President trump and President Biden have gone there. Curious to see if candidates have reaction. Ukraine, you walk to this library museum, infuse with knowledge that we protect freedom, our values and beliefs matter. Interesting to see. The Ronald Reagan that i studied would want us doing what we are doing in ukraine. Interesting how they respond. Nikki haley distinguished on Foreign Policy and reproductive rights at the last debate. People listen. See if these men and this one woman tonight understand that and project that. Fun fact, President Reagan was the only president who was the head of a union, screen actors guild, led a strike at sag. Last time they had one. Kellyanne, final word. What about following the rules . I know the scoop on that. I hope it is better. It is a different environment, a little smaumer set, a little smaller set, a smaller audience. What matters is the candidates. It does. The behavior of those privileged enough to be in the hall, this is a privilege, democracy in action. It is a small audience here, but a huge audience. People at home have every right to be able to access candidates free of charge and instantly, to face tough questions from the moderators and also from each other. What is the most important attribute, not who you want to have a beer with, it is strength. Looking for a strong leader how reagan was, how trump presented himself. All of the nonsense trying to score points as funny, the issues are way too serious. Strength is most important. Well be watching that. Happy we got the bus moving. Appreciate the time. Ronald reagans life and legacy may live on in simi valley. When we come back, a look at a major piece of history from one of the biggest moments of the reagan presidency. Im at a point now where ive outgrown my house. Growing up, every me id get out of the shower, i would itch. My First Experience with goat milk soap, it kinda was like a light bulb moment. Tiktok is a fantastic platform for diy. If youd have told me three years ago that i would own my own business and be expanding into a separate building, i wouldve told you youd lost your mind. Im gonna hold you forever. Ill be there. You dont. You dont have to worry. Im andrea, and this is why i switched to shopify. It gave me so much peace of mind. If we make a change, my sites not going to go down. And just knowing that i have a platform that we can rely on, that is gold to us. Start your free trial today. We Welcome Change and openness, for we believe that freedom and security go together. That the advance of Human Liberty the advance of Human Liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.
