House speaker mike johnson, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will give the middle to those killed. Congresss highest honor. Some of the Gold Star Family members put the blame for their loss of their Loved Ones squarely on the shoulders of the Bidenharris Administration. Never heard from either one of them ever. In the entire three years since our kids were killed by their administration. It has been three years. No response from them, no im sorry. It is the lack of Empathy And Sympathy for a situation that could have easily been at least say im sorry. At least apologize for lack of leadership. As far as the Biden And Harris administration, still to this day still to this day we have not heard one thing. Harris that ceremony is getting underway. Well bring you there. Retired marine and afghanistan war veteran, my friend, joey jones, will join us. Fox News Alert for this. The High Stakes abc News President ial debate is tonight. However, Vice President Kamala Harris and her team have been working for weeks to lower the expectations now for her after ramping her up to be ready for these big moments, 51 days ago. They now want to say she is the underdog. Does that give them an advantage . What does it give them . Im Harris Faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. Here is the v. P. Before she began studying for that debate a week ago. This race is going to be tight until the very end. So please, lets not pay too much attention to the polls because we are running as the underdog. Harris she says it herself. Many of her fellow democrats have been working overtime to push that very same underdog narrative. It will take almost super human Focus And Discipline to deal with Donald Trump in a debate. It is no ordinary proposition. He is the best Counter Puncher in the history of american policy. Donald trump is a skilled debater. This is his seventh general Election President ial debate. Probably the most of anybody in history. Donald trump is a showman. We know he will come in ready to debate. She will do great, of course, Donald Trump will be good, too. We can all remember he wrecked all of the republicans. He is a good debater and it is going to be close. Harris critics are not buying the whole underdog strategy. One argues harriss only shot at justifying her existence in the race is the September 10th president ial debate on abc. The bar is set really low, lucky for her. Almost a decade of telling us President Trump is a buffoon. All of a sudden Regime Media is claiming that hum, he is a formidable opponent. To quote them, he suddenly now has historic skill. Theyve effectively given her a low bar of expectations the make this an easy win for her. Karl rove broke down his expectations for former president Donald Trump. You think that the stakes are higher for trump . He has a harder job . I think he does because she has miraculously grabbed the label of the candidate of change when it was biden versus trump where trump was the candidate of change. But now with harris on the field, miraculously she somehow has been able to dissolve the bonds that tied her to her superior and is now seen as the new different face. Harris new and different . She has been Vice President for 3 1 2 years. Senior white House Correspondent Peter doocy is inside the Debate Hall in philadelphia. Peter. And harris, the campaign is now admitting the Harris Campaign is admitting publicly for the first time not being able to convince the hosts, Abc News to mute to keep the mics hot kind of messed up their strategy. Its a challenge for the viewer who wants to see these two candidates engage with each other in a real debate. She is not a Fact Checker in chief. Thats the job of the media and pundits paying attentiOn And following along. On the contrary according to the Trump Debate Preper Tulsi Gabbard who believes the v. P. Hasnt been properly scrutinized and who says Tonights Debate is a chance to touch on things left unsaid last cycle. She talked every day about how she would be a prosecutor president. But No One questioned her about what that record was and how that would translate if she were president. She will have a tough time trying to defend this record that quite frankly from the view of the american people is indefensible. On the big Philly Area roads today, 95 and 676 the dnc has a digital billboard up warning about trumps threat to abortion access. He plays from the old and tired playbook. There is no floor for him in terms of how low he will go. And we should be prepared for that. We should be prepared for the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth. The Harris Campaign is using a new ad starring Barack Obama to telegraph another potential line of Trump Attack that could accuse him of having crowdsize envy. This weird obsession with crowd sizes. It goes On And on. America is ready for a new chapter. A new chapter. That might be an empty promise, though, based on a look at the Harris Campaigns new Issues Page on their website because the new republic decoded some of the Computer Coding on it and determined that large chunks of the Harris Issue Platform are just direct Copy Pastes from the biden Issues Page. Harris there is no question about that in terms of the depth of the material. It looks like somebody did that who probably was tasked with it in a few minutes and the quick and easy way to do it and you dont have to explain it if it doesnt match what she is saying now. Your last quick thought. Why did it take them so long to put it up there if they were going to copy and paste. I can copy paste a script from six weeks ago and do it from noon but i wouldnt have an excuse why it took me so long. Harris you wouldnt need one because you have skills. Peter doocy, thank you very much. Power panel. Gianno caldwell political Analyst And Doug schoen former clinton advisor. Doug, start with you. You were able to hear from Peter Doocy and i were talking about. All part of this whole thing of they will find out what she will be when it passes. It is very former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi like. Well pass the Healthcare Bill and whatever and you can see whats in it when it passes. What are we getting, doug . Were getting a candidate, harris, with a new way forward. I say that with a smile on my face because we really dont know what the new way forward is. What Karl Rove said is what she is trying to do is to make herself the candidate of change and i think Donald Trump has to in a respectful Way Tonight make the case that his record was better and he has a better agenda, given his speech last week to the Economics Club of new york. And he has an economic plan involving tax cutting, deregulation that is much more insync with what is american people want rather than redistribution of wealth and higher taxes. Harris you made a political turn on a weekend called the fox report. And you determined on that show on one night, on one Sunday Night you would no longer vote for your friend and former wife of your employer, bill clinton, hillary clinton. You couldnt vote for her. Will you vote for kamala . At this point i cannot. I would call myself undecided at this point. But i Cant Vote for her for reasons related to her change in positiOn And also the Middle East as we have talked about before. I do not believe she is sufficiently committed to Israel And Fighting antisemitism. Harris thank you for your patience and i asked that question, gianno. It is important to do the Table Setting now. Doug is about as democrat as i know. And we know because we work with him. Nobody is confused whether or not Doug Schoen is a democrat. The idea we dont know her after 3 1 2 years matters. It does matter. I will tell you it has become crystal clear to me that Kamala Harris is running scared. How do we know this . She has only done one interview since she became the democratic nominee with her Vice President ial nominee. There was a poll that came out today from npr showing 50 of independents believe she is too progressive, too liberal. With that consideration in mind, with this debate her record will be exposed before the american people. She will try to hide in the shadows of Joe Biden and only do Ribbon Cuttings but she will be exposed today. We are seeing the numbers come out every day looking in favor of Donald Trump and Nate Silver Analysis putting him at over 60 likelihood in the Electoral College winning it. Im sure it sends shivers down their spine. They have no response to it. What they continue to do is lie, lie, lie. They say that Donald Trump is his project 2025 is his plan. It is not his plan. This is what they are trying to do to win. Lie, because they have no good record to stand on. Harris not only had he been disavowing now the person with Heritage Foundation who had put all of that together, the director of that project, has resigned in recent weeks. So if the person who designed it is gone, how could it have been Donald Trump in the first place . It is not logistical. All right. A new piece and you alluded to this by Bill Mcgurn argues liberal media have inflated the stakes for Tonights Debate to help v. P. Harris. The low expectations for miss harris may be an advantage. All she has to do is not humiliate herself and her performance will be hailed as a triumph. If the Press Corps did its job we would all know more of what we need to know about Kamala Harris and what kind of a president she would make. But because it wont, it is all on Donald Trump to do that job himself. V. P. Harris and governor Tim Walz have only done six interviews combined together as a ticket. Just one of those was a Sitdown Interview Kamala Harris did along with Tim Walz. They sat together. She hasnt even been alone. Compare that to 39 interviews from Donald Trump and Senator Vance during that same time. You can get them alone, together. Harris has also gone 51 days without a single formal News Conference since it was announced she was running. Secr secretary she has been impossible to pin down on anything because she hasnt given any access. The american people deserve it. Wouldnt you agree . Yes and you know, i hear you but i respectfully disagree. This is a president ial election like no other. She only has a few weeks to do everything and she is spending her time talking to americans. She has the punishing schedule. Harris i want to get a really quick reactiOn And then i have another question. Doug, come to you. Reaction to that. Reaction is she will memorize talking points, she will regurgitate them and she will not engage and the media will declare her a winner is my guess as to how it will all go down because i dont think she will be pressed the way she needs to be. Harris gianno. Well, i dont believe that Kamala Harris is coming ready to play. She is relying on the media to support her and certainly with abc giving 100 positive coverage for her 98 negative to Donald Trump we know what the table looks like. Harris i think we learned it, too, at that interview where he was with the black journalist in Chicago And Abc news had the first question on that one and it didnt even acknowledge that he had survived an Assassination Attempt not too long before. I have think we know what we could get. Lets be positive and hope everything is fair. Hope is not a strategy, though. Doug, i want to come back to you. You said Donald Trump has to respectfully go at the policies of Kamala Harris. I think i know what you mean. If you attack her too hard she becomes the successful victim that she knows how to play. She is a former prosecutor. Thats exactly right, harris. Every poll that weve done and ive seen says that on the issues of inflation, the southern border, and crime, the top three issues facing the country, trump leads her and has a better record from his presidency than bidenharris. Thats where he needs to go. Thats what he needs to do. If he is too over the top attacking her, questioning her ethnic or racial identity, all that will happen is it will backfire on him. Harris gianno. Ive been talking to members of the Trump Campaign and they feel really good where Donald Trump is and they feel he will do an excellent Job Tonight sticking to policy and solutions for the american people. Thats what we so desperately need. Harris he won the one against biden and ended a 50 plus Year Career by making him a Lame Duck in one night on June 27th this year. All right. Well see the woman who took his place at the top of the ticket, Kamala Harris go up against Donald Trump. The world will be watching, not just america. A big audience. Great to see you gentlemen. Today congress is honoring the 13 service members who died during the disastrous u. S. Withdrawal from afghanistan. A blistering new report now lays out how exactly the Bidenharris Administration failed to properly plan its exit. She cant say she didnt know because remember, she was the last woman in the room, the last person in the room. She says it over and over and so does biden. There were no daylight between them on these decisions. One republican is comparing the afghan disaster to vietnam. I say this was worse. Harris will the american people ever get all the answers about how this went so terribly wrong . Joey jones in focus next. Maya knows how Quality Care can bring out a smile. But its been a few dog years since she was able to enjoy a smile of her own. Good Thing Aspen dental offers affordable, complete care all in one place. And new patients without insurance get 29 exams and xrays. Plus 20 off Treatment Plans for everyone. Loving our patients unconditionally. Its one more Way Aspen dental is in your corner. Veteran homeowners, Car Payments are getting out of control. Get a newday 100 Va Cash out loan at lower Mortgage Rates to pay off those high Rate Car loans. man this whale is unaware its being exploited for financial advertising. Look at this silly little sailboat. These men of means with their silver spoons, eating up the financial favors of the 1 . What would become of them when they discover robinhood gold allows others to earn their very liberal rates on idle cash and unlimited Deposit Bonuses . They would descend into chaos. Merciless chaos. Harris a solemn ceremony is underway right now at the u. S. Capitol. Congressional leaders honoring the 13 service members killed in the 2021 attack on Kabul Airport. Their families will receive congressional gold medals. Thats congresss highest honor. Todays ceremony follows Sunday Night release scathing report on the biden administrations disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. House republicans on the foreign Affairs Committee compiled that report. This was a catastrophic failure of epic proportions. State department by law has the authority authorized by congress, to come up with a plan. State department wholely failed in that response payability. I think the american public was intentionally misled during the withdrawal. They deserve transparency. Harris while the White House didnt fight for our Men And Women on the ground that day, they are ready to fight the republicans. White house dismissing their report as an attempt to score political points. House republicans released their Investigation Report into afghanistan withdrawal. This comes two years after their first report and this one says little, nothing new. Weve already issued comments about the onesided nature of this report. Harris a new York Post opinion with the headline. Joe biden and Kamala Harriss fingerprints are all over the disastrous afghanistan pullout. Joey jones, veteran, we thank you for your service and your thoughts on this. You just heard Admiral Kirby at the White House now saying that there is nothing new. Sometimes you put out a report to Rubber Stamp the facts, to give more breadth to the facts. Are there any things new in this in your interpretation . I dont think anyone in the White House pisses me off more than John Kirby who wore the uniform of the united States Navy Admiral and now should have dnc tattooed offer his suit. Thats all he represents. All things he did in service doesnt matter to him anymore. The Point Isnt there is nothing new. The point is 13 people died, dozens more injured. We never talk about those that lost limbs. We dont see their names and faces. There are those whose lives were wrecked not because they were fighting and defending their country but they were trying to survive a withdrawal that almost certainly was going to put them in imminent danger. Thats what is so frustrating. Every report. If they did a report every year on the year to further amplify what went wrong and what was failed, it is on one hand to hold accountability but on the other hand to hope it doesnt happen again and that someone might learn from it. Harris the biggest headline out of all of this. We didnt know the drilldown when the plan of action was put into place. There are very few missions in life, whether you are military or civilian, that can go down without a wrinkle less than 24 hours before. What in the world were they thinking without having a more structured plan and listening to The Generals . That is new. We didnt know just how bad it was. It seems from this report i understand there is a partisan nature to anything done by one political party or caucus. So take that for what it is. It seems in this report the buck really did stop with Joe Biden. His own stubbornness. He is the man in charge and has that authority, went against the advice of just about every entity mentioned in the report from embassies to State Department staff to d. O. D. Staff, to the german and joint chiefs of staff. It seems like he believed for some reason that their advice was too cautious perhaps or too illadvised. This idea that came out immediately after and tried to blame the Doha Report is put to rest. They had options, they chose not to use them. Harris President Biden made it a point of saying that Kamala Harris was the last person in the room. In fact, i think he is really coined that phrase forever to have so many different meanings applicable to her in specific. He uses it about her all the time in every instance. Their policies are the same. In fact, v. P. Harris has been trying to walk a line to distance herself from President Bidens policies. Well, after this report i can understand why. There is no distance. Everyone knows she has been part of this administration for more than 3 1 2 years. This issue could come up at Tonights Debate and i hope it does. This may take creating distance pretty difficult. Watch. Afghanistan, were you the last person in the room . Yes. And you feel comfortable . I do. Harris joey. I dont think anyone takes it to mean she was making decision. I dont think anyone on her side or the other believes she had some sort of big disturnible role in making decisions. The reason why it should be pointed out politically. She didnt have any kind of Experience Or Leadership to advise against it and show where it wasnt a good idea and she had a better plan as the Vice President ready to be president. The belief among voters, i think, is that she doesnt have that type of acumen. Perhaps some voters on the left see her to be strong in other areas but no Voting Demographic that thinks she is the person to keep us out of the next war or win the conflicts were in. I hope President Trump brings it home and hope it brings it up every chance he can. Maybe not just with the afghan Withdrawal But Everything foreign policy this administration failed at. Have her ask questions she perhaps cant. Harris you open our eyes from a different perspective having served. That would be like someone coming in and just maybe taking notes on what The General is saying but not making their own notes to ask questions and to really push in. If she had a problem with the policy. She said she was comfortable with it. The follow up would be which part did you like . Exactly right. I wish i knew how someone could stand their Like Kirby says it is the most successful airlift ever. The most successful retreat, surrender, loss. The jets dont go and say well at least we scored nine points. No, no, you lost the game. We lost the war. We lost people that day. There is nothing successful about it. Im glad we did something right to get some people out. We left 1,000 americans, some held hostage. Left thousands of others we promised to come here. Nothing successful about it. Harris joey jones, i know you have lost friends and we are so blessed to have you on our team here at fox but i pray for you all the time because i know it wasnt easy. Watching this today is tough. Thank you very much for your experience and all that youve done for the country. Yes, maam. Thank you. Harris all right. Raw emotion on Capitol Hill this morning. Even more of it i should say. That was raw emotion. This time congressional republicans are highlighting the victims perspectives of the Bidenharris Administrations Border Crisis. Family members of Loved Ones allegedly murdered by illegal immigrants. Those victims including jocelyn nungaray, Rachel Morin and kala hamilton. A list of others we talk about it all the time on the focus. Each of their mothers now are among those scheduled to speak at todays hearing. One of the witnesses, who is also there, is a Crime Victims advocate who shared this amazing moment. Im going to be the Voice Today for maria gonzalez. Also a migrant. She arrived here and her father didnt own a vehicle. He walked to work. Her father is the essence of the type of immigrants we should want in this country. Law abiding, Hard Working Man working for 7 an hour, 14 hours a day. He left that weekend and he told his daughter he was going to work. She had a cell phone. She was in her the safety of her home. This migrant came here as a child. Was given to a sponsor and only here three weeks before he decided to leave his sponsors home, Go To Texas from louisiana, and he saw maria. At one point or another he decided that would be his prey. He saw her Father Leave to work. He knew their schedule. He knocked on marias door. She recognized it was a neighbor told her father on whatsapp on Voice Message hey dad, somebody is knocking on the door and said it in spanish. Dad, is that you knocking on the door . Thinking her father had forgotten something. That was the last time he ever heard marias voice. When she went to the door there is a little chain that we have in those apartments, right, when you open the door the try to keep us safe. The chain was not enough to keep the animal out of marias apartment. He pushed his way in and maria fought for her life. She was 11 years old. To all of you, three little girls passing away may not be many. But what if one of those little girls was your daughter, granddaughter or your niece . Can you imagine them trying to fight off a grown man off of them . The shock of being undressed, the pain of being beaten and smothered, trying to fight for your life while a Predators Objective to our girls deserve protectiOn And live their life without fear and deserve to perish in a natural manner of old age. We live in a society where we have gained so much medical advancement if you have cholesterol, diabetes, Heart Disease Theyll take care of you. Were losing healthy children and this case to me resonates. She is also a migrant child. And this says to me were letting everything through the border because were not checking them. And you are victimizing citizens and immigrants alike. Were not against immigration. We are against unvetted immigration. I want you to know as a woman who has a majority of their family in mexico that arent privileged enough to be in this country there is no such thing as collecting Dna Swabs or embalming or doing an autopsy. Mexico and central america is where predators thrive. You think they come to this country and its the first time they do this . No. Just a place where we figure it out and we care about our daughters and we are going to find out. Finding a little girl in mexico that has been sexually assaulted is the normal tuesday. It is nothing unusual. So i want you to know immigration is good, i am the Living Proof of that. My patients dont have a speeding ticket. Thats the type of migrants we want. But bringing them to this country is further victimizing what the same immigrants got away from that nair countries. We need a real system. Checks and balances to identify the criminals hiding in wolves in Sheeps Clothing what is they are. I implore you. Close your eyes. Imagine Somebody Undressing a little girl in your family. Imagine somebody fighting her. Imagine somebody strangling her, maria was so covered in bruises i had to go and shop for a Funeral Dress for her to cover the damage that that man did to her. Maria lost fingernails in her fight and she is a migrant child. Not everybody is the same and we have to identify these monsters because like my dad says they are giving all of us good migrants such a bad name. We owe it to the migrants that are getting away from these communities and we owe it to our stints to offer them a safe society. People say well, citizens kill, too. In these cases, all these cases are migrants that caused this. Its the failure of our policies by not checking them. Harris i dont know if anything else needs to be said. We are in this together. That young woman just told us exactly why. Of course we want immigrants. We want them legally. We want the kind of people that she and her family are. As she describes the end of life for that 11yearold girl we should be ashamed as a country we toll late leadership that would let that happen en masse. Let people in that we dont know into the country. Not even fair to them the people coming who want to do it the right way. God bless us. God bless that childs family. I want to bring in now ben domenech, Fox News Contributor And Spectator editor at large. As we watch this we know there is a lot of work to be done on making legal immigration something that doesnt have to compete with the Drug Cartels wanting the ruin our nation. Yes, harris. I think thats a powerful message and what april is talking about there is something that is a fact of life for many of the migrants who are coming across our border. Look, we talk about this at length and it is something that frankly many other members of the media have only woken up to in the last couple of years. The fact is this is a Profit Center for the mexican cartels who have, through their importation of illegal drugs and through their importation of crime, have caused the deaths of many americans. But it is also caused the deaths of many migrants alike. These are victims of the cartels. They are victims of the violence and monsters they import. People who frankly serve at the behest of major corporate crime entities that are run out of mexico and that impede in every way our way of life here in america and frankly have corrupted so many of our communities with the level of crime that they persist in enacting in ways that invade our communities with all sorts of horrible aspects. Look, we have this fantasy of immigration thats being some kind of throwback to the days of Ellis Island and the Statue Of Liberty and all of these things that came before. But right now our Migrant Crisis that has endured during most of the biden Administrations Tenure has really created horrible disastrous effects within communities across our nation. Not just along the border, but invading really our communities in ways that i think have are undeniable in ways that have provoked even responses from democrats who formerly called their cities sanctuaries and things like that. They have to live up to the fact that this has been a huge mistake on their part. They have only enabled these cartels to profit from human Misery And Something that has to end. Harris with all that we have experienced in 3 1 2 years under this current administration, the one question i would have tonight for Kamala Harris as Vice President , the last person in the room on all the decisions that matter to americans, were told, why did he pick you . Why did he pick you to lead us out of the Border Crisis . Why did he task you with that particular job . What in your background that you arent currently doing now could you possibly do differently going forward when you didnt do it to save the children weve lost already . That would be the question that i would have on this topic. I think thats a question on the minds of so many different americans across the country. This is one of her singular tasks as Vice President. It was given to her by Joe Biden explicitly as much as some people would like to engage in revisionist history. She failed at it totally. In every way she failed. Whether it was addressing the root causes or whether it was addressing the problem as it is on the border, she failed to live up to her obligation. Look, you take an oath when you swear in as president or Vice President to defend our basic freedoms, to defend our border, to defend every american in terms of their interest and Thats Something that i frankly think she failed at utterly. Given the low obligations that are expected of a Vice President of the united states, infamously termed a warm bucket of spit, it is one of these things couldnt you do something to help these families to help alleviate this situation . She hasnt. I dont think she can expect if she was elected that she would in any respect. Harris a bit earlier the mother of Rachel Morin, a mom of five allegedly murdered by an illegal im grant. Spoke at the same hearing. Lets watch. Illegal immigrant crossed the border three times, was sent back. The fourth time he was a gotaway. If they had at any time did the Cheek Swabs for the dna they would have known that this person had an Interpol Warrant for his arrest for murdering a woman in el salvador, which is why he was fleeing to america. After he murdered my daughter, he stayed in the same town where he murdered her, continued to work in restaurants, her children having a hard time. All of us as a family are having a hard time. We have nightmares. Harris ben. I think that this is an incredibly awful aspect of the way that americans live today and we dont have to live that way. We dont have to live under a government that doesnt protect us. We dont have to live under a government that allows these kinds of monsters into our communities. We can have a different government, one that actually addresses this need to have security on the border and we need it now. Harris ben domenech, thank you as always. A bit of breaking news, a lot to react to. Glad you are with me. All right, lets go back to Capitol Hill now. This is live and you see the senate Minority Leader, Mitch Mcconnell there, the highest Ranking Republican on the senate. He is talking now at the Gold Medal Ceremony for the 13 american service members who were killed at the Kabul Airport during the disastrous pullout of afghanistan after 20 years of war.

Volunteers in the Sheriffs Department and hockey fans, Boy Scouts and future electricians. It has been said today that they were Sons And Daughters, brothers and sisters, friends and neighbors and they were united in service and bound by love. A love for their country, for the ideals that it stands for, and for those who could not protect themselves. Their Love Lives On in families, neighborhoods raised and heroic legacy and it lives on in the hearts of those they saved and in the gratitude of a nation that will never forget their sacrifice. Today, as their nation, we join their families and friends to honor their heroism with the congressional gold medal. At this point, i would like to ask leader schumer, leader mcconnell, leader jeffries, senator danes and Congresswoman Mcclain to join me at the front of the stage to present the medal.
