Harris it has come down to any moment now. Former President Trumps suspected would be assassin, Ryan Routh, is about to appear in Federal Court accused of hiding out with a gun for nearly 12 hours, enough food to do that, too. He was in for the long haul. It was right next to the former president s Florida Golf Course last sunday. But he was spotted. The u. S. Justice department now will argue routh should stay in jail until his trial. Today the department of justice released this photograph of the rifle he had with him. And a note he allegedly left in a box with a neighbor a few months ago. Here is Back Story coming in clear. In that note, Ryan Routh admitted plan to kill former President Trump. Routh faces two federal gun charges so far. Constitutional Law Attorney Jonathan Turley says more charges are coming. They come with a hefty maximum, 20 years. He is interesting in one sense that will drive the Defense Counsel to distraction. That is he is all aggravateors, no mitigateors. Usually you have something to try to lower that potential sentence on these types of crimes. He has only aggravateors. It will push it toward the maximum. They wont be the only charges. Harris of course, Theyll Monitor the situation for any updates and bring you news as soon as it happens. Former f. B. I. Agent Nichole Parker as well will join me later. So she will be with me to digest anything we find and also to talk more widely about the new details coming out in this case. Tensions between israel and the Terror Group Hezbollah have reached a Fever Pitch at this hour. Remember, they are hours ahead of us and it is already nightfall there. This is lebanon. You would be looking from the northern part of israel into lebanon. They are seven Hours Difference there. Both sides, the terrorists and the government, the military of israel, hezbollah are terrorists, have accelerated attacks on each other over the weekend closer the region to allout war. Israel is already fighting hamas terrorists. Now to the north hezbollah. President biden says the united states is doing a Quote Everything we can to prevent that. But some are blaming his failures for the situation that were in right now. A Critical Point for israel, our strongest ally in the region. Im Harris Faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. The israeli Defense Force says it has hit more than 300 hezbollah Targets Today alone. And thats after heavy fire from the iran proxies yesterday. They are paid for and in some ways established by and fueled by iran. Hezbollah launched 150 rockets into Northern Israel. The idf has been Warning Civilians in Southern Lebanon to evacuate, escape as it carries out strikes in large stretches of the region. They are giving those civilians, the citizens and families, people caught in between what is developing, it looks like, into a wider conflict now, they are giving them the headsup to get out. The idf also put out this video of hezbollah terrorists trying to launch a Cruise Missile from a home in lebanon. They say they were able to eliminate the terrorists and the missile before it launched. The israeli military also is saying it has already killed six top members of hezbollah Military Command in just a few weeks. Netanyahu with more. On October 7th the hamas Terrorist Monsters Burst into israel. A day later October 8th another iranian terrorist proxy, hezbollah, attacked israel completely unprovoked. They havent stopped for a single day attacking us. No country can accept the rocketing of its cities. We cant except it, either. Well take whatever action is necessary to restore security and bring our people safe back to their homes. Harris Nate Foye is in tel aviv, israel. Sirens are blaring across several different areas of Northern Israel at this hour. Idf says in the past two Hours Hezbollah has fired an additional 80 rockets. The Health Minister is providing an update on the Death Toll from this Mornings Air strikes. It keeps growing. Right now 274 have been killed. More than 1,000 injured as a result of todays strikes. Look at this video. Israel Targeting Weapons Facilities and hit more than 300 hezbollah sites today. Moments ago Benjamin Netanyahue said i promised wed change the Security Balance of power in the north. This is exactly what were doing. Israel is putting out Evacuation Orders in arabic for the people of Southern Lebanon. Many headed north. Those who are still in the south have to worry about not only Air Strikes but also secondary explosions. New video showing a Chain Reaction Ex potion after israeli jets hit hezbollah weapons stored inside a home and took out terrorists ready to launch a Cruise Missile. Some rockets did get through. This is a direct hit in Northern Israel where school is canceled today and a hospital has been forced to move patients underground. Israel expanded Air Strikes and hit the Area Northeast of beirut 800 times. Israels War Cabinet met in the last hour as they accept a greater response from hezbollah. Harris quickly, forgive me if i missed this. Are people taking the headsup. We do that as a country. Weve done that in wars before telling civilians to get out of the way. Are people listening to that . Many are, harris, in the video we showed in the report there is significant traffic in Southern Lebanon are people are headed toward beirut. Several videos of people picking up children from school, take them north or to a shelter. Some people are taking the warnings. Others certainly arent. We dont know the difference in the Death Toll how many are hezbollah fighters and how many are civilians. A deadly day in lebanon. The most deadly day when Hezbollah Started firing on israel last year in october. Harris a massacre on the 7th, Hezbollah Start firing the next day. Do you think terrorists talk to each other . Just an open question. Thank you very much. Joni ernst of the great state of iowa, member of the senate armed services committee. The last time you met with Benjamin Netanyahue you committed to working to rescue the hostages still being held by hamas and supporting israel. 101 were told are estimated to be held still by hamas. Whats the latest on the hostages . Thank you, harris. This is an issue that is very important to me, making sure that our american hostages are returned home and what we know, after we saw the murder of six hostages held by hamas in the gaza strip, one of them, an american, goldberg polein, theyre kept in dark, damp tunnels beneath the gaza strip. They lack proper medical care. They lack clean water, food, and they are waning away. For those that are being held, it is very difficult for them. We do not have a complete number on those that actually might still be alive. Harris early on, i was fearful we would work with other countries, Special Forces take in a coalition. Americans are among those being held. Unfortunately we havent been able to report that. If its happening we dont know. Your last quick thought. We still have four americans that we believe to be alive, three others that are being held that are deceased. We need to see them home quickly. We ask egypt, Qatar And Turkey to lean On Hamas and allowed our hostages to be released. Harris lean in on the savages. You think that would be easy for those countries to do. Yes, absolutely. Harris leaders from around the globe are in new York City for the annual united nations general assembly. Biden may see it as a last chance to cement his legacy. He is lame duck now. Mike pompeo with this. Politico is writing bidens Foreign Policy Goals slip as clock particulars. The problems are starting to pile up. War in the Middle East, disastrous afghanistan withdrawal, Russias Invasion of ukraine, irans growing nuclear program, Chinas Aggression in the indo pacific and illegal immigrant criminals. Biden leaves his successor a world of disorder. His time in office adds up to the worst decline in the World Order and the largest decline in u. S. Influence since the 1930s. Yet mr. Biden continues to speak and act as if he pro sided over an era spending peace and prosperity. Whoever gets the White House they have to abandon the biden policies. Your thoughts on whether or not the Vice President is distant enough from Joe Biden to lead us in a new way with Foreign Policy . Absolutely, harris. What you just said with the world on fire, this is Vice President Kamala Harriss legacy. We dont need more of the same going into the White House. I want everyone to understand what you just said. When we had President Trump four years ago, we were celebrating the Abraham Accords and peace in the Middle East. What we have right now is a world on fire with russia invading ukraine, we saw it with the fall of afghanistan, the taliban moving in on women and girls disallowing them opportunity in that country. We see it now across the Middle East with everything that is happening. It is terrible what we see. Harris will just double down. We have left our friends, israel, behind, by not providing them everything they possibly need to push back against iranbacked hamas and hezbollah, not to mention the houthis. This is an absolute disaster when it comes to Foreign Policy, which is why we need a new commanderinchief. We can get rid of this abandoner in Chief And Focus on the future to see Peace And Stability under a second term of President Trump. Senator Joni Ernst from iowa. Thank you for your time and for your service to our military. Thank you, harris. Harris the Justice Department has released chilling new evidence on the suspect in the second Assassination Attempt on former President Trump. That suspect is in Federal Court right now. Meanwhile, the former president is hitting hard on the issue voters say is most important to them, the Bottom Line, the economy. If Kamala Harris is reelected, she will kill The American Dream forever. Vote trump and we will bring back The American Dream bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

Harris former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have their eyes on the allimportant Battleground State of pennsylvania this week. It is obvious by their schedules. Trump will hold a rally in western pennsylvania, the city of indiana today. And thats just more than 50 miles from butler, the site of the first Assassination Attempt on his life. Its only been two months. He is expected to focus on Inflation And Food prices today. According to consumer affairs, pennsylvania had the highest Grocery Inflation Rate in america in 2023. It rose 8. 4 . It has been 3 1 2 years of that under Biden And Harris. The Vice President heads to that state this week and she gave a little bit of a preview last night. Im going to be giving a speech this week that is really just to outline my vision for the economy. Youve heard me talk about, i believe in what we can create in terms of opportunity for the american people. Named it an Opportunity Economy which in short form is about what we can do more to invest in the aspirations, ambitions and dreams of the american people while addressing the challenges that they face, whether the high price of groceries or the difficulty in being able to acquire homeownership. Harris theyve already proposed several Tax Increases. Said increases including on investments and individual and corporate income. The Tax Foundation estimates her proposals could cost 786,000 jobs. They will contract because their taxes are going up. It would reduce the gdp, Gross Domestic Product by 2 and lower wages by 1. 2 . I thought it was a Democrat Thing to raise, you know, the hourly wages of people. The group says her plans could also generate 1. 7 trillion in revenue over ten years. Well, if its costing people jobs and livelihood and all that we know how they will pay for that. The group says trumps Tax Plans would cost fewer jobs, reduce gdp by less and increase wages. Jason chaffetz, Fox News Contributor and former republican congressman of utah, former chairman of the house oversight committee. I like to talk about your time leading the oversight committee. You were in charge of the money and where it was going. Compare these two plans if you can. Look, Kamala Harris has promised to do quote, unquote, investments. Thats code for im going to take more of your money out of your wallet and i will give it to somebody else. That redistribution of wealth is one of the scariest parts of what she is trying to do. The Vice President is simultaneously telling us she wants to cut taxes for the middle class while promising to get rid of the Trump Tax cuts, which gave everybody a tax cut. You cant have it both ways. She has promised to raise the corporate tax. That is going to cost jobs. S going to cost corporations and theyll pass it onto consumers. She wants to tax unrealized capital gains. She doesnt i dont think she understands how the economy works. We get to compare them sidebyside. We had four years of prosperity under Donald Trump. Life was good and Gas Prices were low and inflation was nonexistent. The world was safe. We didnt have the housing problems. She can flail all she wants about the investments she is going to make but spending trillions of our dollars for what she wants to do with them. I just think its fundamentally wrong. Harris you know, all the while she doesnt deal with the Coronavirus Pandemic to the likes of which we havent seen since 1918 with the Spanish Influenza pandemic. You had a lot going on in the last two years of Donald Trump. Theyve had 3 1 2 years without all of that. If the numbers are that upside down we have to take a closer look at that. If you raise the taxes on companies, on corporations, do you think they will leave america and take their Innovation And Money elsewhere . Yeah. They will take the path of least resistance. Or they will take those Tax Increases and pass them onto the consumer. It will make life more expensive not less expensive. You cant give 25,000 credit for everybody to buy houses. It will make housing more expensive. When you let in ten to 20 Million people into our economy and complain that the price of low Income Housing has gone up, there is a reason why its gone up. The basics of supply and demand. Harris all right. Lets move to this. The national treasury Employees Union including i. R. S. Employees announced it is backing Vice President Kamala Harris for president. Social media users say thats the red flag, a serious one. Here is a post. That should tell you all what her plans are for us. Get ready to be taxed to death. Another, actually this is the new oped, jason, recent oped. The i. R. S. Might take more of your money under Kamala Harris. Look, i dont know if you can play sneakier than to tell someone that you are invested in them and the cause but then get ready to tax them. Thats disingenuous. She tries to claim they will only go after people that are making more than 4 hundred thousand. They have increased the i. R. S. Budget by billions of dollars. If you look at the statistics, the people making in the range of 2 Hundred Thousand have had some of the greatest increases in the number of audits that are going on. Of course the i. R. S. Employees love Kamala Harris because they want more audits and more i. R. S. People and they want to increase your taxes. So she have is like the person of the year. There is no choice. Donald trump wants to simplify the Tax Code, get rid of the i. R. S. People. We shouldnt have to have them to get to a simplified Tax Code which is what Donald Trump wants to do. Harris mostly he wants to alleviate the current pain the current administration ignored for so long pedaling bidenomics and ignoring the real pain of people. It all will cost money. We dont want to completely shine. It is just that were already under pressure with pricing and what you described is like a hidden inflation tax, drives those prices right back up again even more. Jason, thank you. Gratitude for the beautiful warm Welcome And Fellowship i received on a september sunday. I traveled to florida for a huge Prayer Session with pastor Tim Grossmann and his congregation at first baptist church, Winter Garden outside of the orlando metro. We formed a giant Prayer Circle. Hundreds of people in that Prayer Circle and you know from when my book came out last year, faith still moves mountains i did these all over the country. This one was big. We were talking about how god still answers prayers. There were people who were there who had gone through so much and shared their own miracles as well. I enjoyed meeting everybody. Much love to that congregation and much love to the people wider of Winter Garden. They put up the yard signs all over the place. Im really grateful. There we are praying. Thank you for having me. The pressure is on for the Vice President to stop Ducking Unscripted media interviews. Yeah, we have a lot of questions about her economic plan as jason and i were just talking about. It has been 64 days without a solo news conference. 464 days ago it was announced that Kamala Harris would take over the top of the democratic Ticket And Kick biden out. Plus right now the suspect in the second Assassination Attempt on former President Donald Trump is appearing before a judge.

The suspect in the second Assassination Attempt against former President Trump is in court. We knew it was going to happen. It has begun. The department of justice prosecutors are arguing the keep him in custody. This morning the department released a memo which includes photographs and a chilling letter allegedly written by Ryan Routh, the suspect. It addresses to the world and says this was an Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump but, quote, im so sorry i failed you. Former assistant f. B. I. Director Chris Swecker has some thoughts. He basically made the case against himself, which i suspected, you know, might happen. That brings it under some very serious federal statutes. The more serious charges will come. They may not come today but they will use all this evidence and there is other evidence as well, to hold him on no bond. They dont want him getting out. Harris Dana Marie Mcnicholl is in west Palm Beach, florida, outside the suspects Detention Hearing. You have some new details. Thats right. Good morning. That Detention Hearing is expected to be quick. No cameras in the Federal Court. Well get details to you as it finishes. Lets get to the new information, the Court Documents revealing a lot of information about the day of that Assassination Attempt. What police searched Ruths Car they found two additional license plates, six Cell Phones, one of those Cell Phones had a Google Search of how to travel from Palm Beach county to mexico. The agents also found 12 pairs of gloves and documents, including a handwritten list of dates from august through October Of 2024 listing venues where the former president would be. Now additional new details come from a witness interviewed by the f. B. I. Said ruth dropped off a box at his home with ammunition, Metal Pipe and also other building materials. Also four Cell Phones and letters. One of those handwritten letters addressed to the world. It said, quote, this was an Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump but i failed you. I tried my best. I gave it all the gumption i could muster and offered thousands of dollars to finish the job. Prosecutors will argue this letter does prove some intent. Now Today Routh is facing two charges. New Court Documents say the rifle was loaded with a total of 11 rounds and had a round in the chamber. There was even Fingerprint Evidence Linking Routh to that rifle. Now these are not the most severe charges that could be brought but right now its enough to keep him locked up. Rouths attorney will be able to request bond. The judge will most certainly rule to keep him in jail until a new trial or again those more severe charges with brought. Right now he is in court. Were waiting for our producers to come out to bring you the latest. Harris. Harris thank you very much. I want to bring in now Nichole Parker, former f. B. I. Agent and Fox News Contributor. Great to have you along and seems like you bring breaking news with you in a good way so we can drill down. Lets talk about the letter and the items that purportedly were left be mind by this accused assassin, would be assassin. That letter is a Treasure Trove of information. They have two charges in place now. Solid charges, but you want to stack him with as many charges as possible. This letter is almost like a confession. I did this, you know, i attempted to assassinate President Trump and this is what i did and what the plan was and im sorry i let you down. It is crucial. I appreciate in the Detention Hearing theyre revealing this sort of information. The prosecutors have to determine and have to prove to the judge this person is a Flight Risk or an endangerment to community and society. When you read that and see all the evidence mounting, i think there is a strong possibility he will be detained. Harris yes to the public and all of that absolutely. But specifically to former President Trump. He apologized for not getting the job done, if you will, in that letter that he allegedly wrote. He is an immediate danger to a very specific target. Absolutely. The prosecutors had to reveal all this information that the general public. We didnt know until this point, right . There is so much more information as well. Cell phones. They are so powerful. The fact that you can identify the pings where he was and Support Team at the f. B. I. , they will triangulate and look at where the pings were. He had been around that Golf Course since august multiple times and come down to florida and been in the Florida Area for about a month when this happened. All the searches that he did trying to escape to mexico potentially. Its a solid case. Dont forget the state of florida has rights to this investigation and i hope they run a parallel investigation to the federal investigation thats going on right now. Harris last week acting Service Director Rowe admitted his people failed. Its important that we hold ourselves accountable for the failures of July 13th and that we use the lessons learned to make sure that we do not have another failure like this again. These employees will be held accountable and this agency has among the most robust table of penalties in the federal on a Paradigm Shift to redefine how we have protective operations. Harris someone on my team reminded me, responsibility is not the same as accountability. Him saying my guys or women did a bad. We messed up. Where is the accountability . Not one person has been fired with a direct link to what is happening right now particularly with the July 13th butler, pennsylvania incident. I echo your frustration. I do. It makes the good agents look really bad when you have a real weak Advance Or Side agent. Whoever dropped the ball. Let me see the Operations Plan and understand it. Who signed that . At the end of the day the buck stops with you. The agent, supervisor, whoever was signing that, the buck stops with you. If you drop the ball there have to be consequences. Accountability has to equate to consequences. Americans want to see consequences. If no one is held accountable with a Consequence Accountability doesnt hold much weight. What will the consequence be . Will anyone be fired or move off Protection Detail going forward . 30 days on the bricks, the office, professional responsibility is doing this investigation and we want to see some consequences. Harri you are saying. Why did we have another one, a second Assassination Attempt . Those things obviously were not done. The buck stops with rowe. They stopped with the previous director of the Secret Service who quite after one day on The Hill of hearings. Kimberly cheatle. Now it stops with him. Would you feel safe if you were any of these leaders that are being protected, the current administration leaders, biden, harris or mr. Trump . God bless President Trump. He has such grace. He has a lot of grac to praise the good agents. I would be not feeling too confident if my life had been almost taken twice. What disturbs me is that Director Rowe is saying we have the full services of the Secret Service that sunday. The full offer of the Secret Service was there. Thats the full service that you can offer a second attempt is the full service . That is concerning. Kudos to the new agent. It was a new agent. They refer to him he was a fairly new agent, good for you for doing the job. The protective sweep is what saved President Trumps life once again. He has been spared. Harris amen. All right. Nichole parker, thank you. Two very different campaigns when it comes to talking with the media. Former President Trump sitting for dozens of interviews. Vice president Kamala Harris sticking to prepared scripts and very few sitdown interviews. Okay. Can she keep ducking spontaneous Question And Answer sessions . Can she do this on the fly . Power panel next. If you take Kamala Harris out of the teleprompter and take away Abc News moderators to hold her hand throughout debates, it is not going to go well. The calculation is to shorten the runway, run out the clock. We all Need Fiber for our digestive health, but less than 10 of us get enough each day. Good Thing Metamucil gummies are an easy way to get prebiotic, plantbased fiber. With the same amount of fiber as 2 cups of broccoli. Metamucil gummies the easy way to get your daily fiber. [narrator] life with Ear Ringing sounded like a constant Train Whistle i couldnt escape. Then i started taking lipo flavonoid. With 60 years of clinical experience, its the number one doctor recommended brand for Ear Ringing. And now im finally free. Take back control with lipo flavonoid. Harris the contrast could not be more stark. White house candidates do a lot of interviews, news conferences, town halls, everything. Donald Trump And Jd vance have done a combined 56 interviews. Harris and walz have done a combined 18. Critics say the v. P. Has stuck mostly to what sounds like scripted answers to soft questions. Why is joy important to you to insert into this election . I find joy in the american people. I find joy in optimism, in what i see to be our future and our ability to invest in it. I find joy in the ambition of the people. I find joy in the dreams of the people. What are one or two specific things you have in mind for that . Ill start with this. I grew up a middle class kid. My mother raised my sister and me and she worked very hard. I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn. Were an optimistic people. Americans, by character are people who have dreams and ambitions and aspirations. We believe in what is possible. We believe in what can be. And we believe in fighting for that. Thats how we came into being. Harris liberal Network Host says the Vice President is doing anything harder hitting is simply not in the cards. People also expected to have some idea of what the program is of the person you are supposed to vote for. I dont think it is a lot to ask her to sit down for a real interview as opposed to a Puff Piece in which she describes her feelings of growing up in oakland with good lawns. When you move to nirvana, give me your real estate Brokers Number and i will be your next door neighbor. We dont live there. Harris harris will also skip Al Smith Dinner in new York City. Former President Trump is the Keynote Speaker there. Harris is the first major White House candidate in 40 years to miss that catholic charity event. A new York Post editorial with this. It is just her fear of having to be spontaneous, that phobia must be crippling. Harris has to know that the other exception came when Walter Mondale declined the invite in 1984 and went on to lose 49 states in november. Power panel now, cassie and anton, great to see you both. Antoine it is 40 years of Legacy And Success by candidates for both sides of the aisle. You want to go to the Al Smith Dinner. Why isnt she going . I know the schedule line. Does she realize what she is missing . I dont think she has to go. In fact, i think the best thing harris you Cant Zoom in. The best thing she can do is continue to meet voters where they are. Speak meet with catholic voters in Battleground States all across this country. Those are ultimately going to decide how this election plays out. The strategy she has is working. The polls indicate that. There is quality over quantity is getting to be very tired because the american people are tuned into what she stands for and the issues. I think the contrast is what Donald Trump continues to say in his interviews and people understand the difference between the two. Harris you are saying quality over quantity. Im saying depth. It has nothing to do with quantity. Im talking depth. Look, they could have put that statement out, cassie, that she cant make it to the Al Smith Dinner but intends to meet with the archbishop. She intends to meet Blah Blah blah. This was a Press Release and low hanging easy fruit. Yeah. It is not quality appearances that were seeing. If that were the case she would be enjoying more of a spread in the polls like Joe Biden had close to the five to seven Point Range very much in the margin of error or tied. Missing out on the Al Smith Dinner. She might be afraid of that conversation with the cardinal might be like because of her views an abortion. But the democrats refuse to let Donald Trump be a likable person. He is very charming and good at t reading a room. In the Al Smith Dinner he will do that and the clips will come out of President Trump looking human and charming and laughing at himself and it is a missed opportunity for Kamala Harris but something the left hates to see. Harris something you brought up, first, antoine. It shows a tight race between trump and harris. The election is likely to come down to just a handful of key Battleground States, which is why they are both spending so much time this week in particular in pennsylvania and other states like it. In terms of the polling. So the new polling from The New York Times shows trump leading harris by five points in arizona. Ouch slightly in georgia and north carolina. A Quinnipiac University Poll released last week shows harris is up six points in pennsylvania, which is outside the margin of error, but a Maris Poll released that same day shows them deadlocked at 49. When you look at real clear Polling Averages where they take a list of polls and take that average the race in the key Battleground States is neckandneck. Too close to call. The largest lead is a 2. 2 for trump in arizona. The Heritage Foundation Kevin Roberts says this. It has been a steady state since the switch that the democrats pulled. I think the race is neckandneck. The up shot about this race until and unless more people in the Legacy Media get the Vice President and the governor of minnesota to talk about their terrible policy records, you are going to see this race remain neckandneck. I have never seen anything like this in my entire career. Harris quick responses. Antoine. I have to respond. Joe biden is a practicing catholic and believes a woman should be trusted. Harris we want to talk about polling. I respect you have more to say about why Kamala Harris is not going to a large gathering including archbishop with the Al Smith Dinner. I respect that. Were talking about polling now. Less than a minute left. Antoine. The polling is a snapshot, 50 50 jump ball. Im proud of how she articulated her agenda to the american people versus concepts of a plan or black haitian immigrants are eating cats and dogs. We love to have the Policy Contrast Conversation continuously. Continuation going back to try to rehash comments out of context is all democrats can hang onto. People do remember what life looked like four years ago with President Trump. He is doing interviews and in addition people to having their own memories to recall. They cant say the same about Kamala Harris. They dont know where she stands on the positions. She flipflopped or derelict in her duty as Vice President. At the end of the day why you are seeing the tight polls is because people dont know enough about her to trust she will be a good president. Harris the Battleground States will probably decide this election. Thank you for the great debate. Outnumbered after the break
