This is folk. Fox and friends. Fox news alert. We will take you to the picket line. Ainsley fox weather alert. Helene has destroyed neighborhoods. Franklin graham joins us alongside former President Trump. Lawrence counting down to Tonights Cbc News debate that Will Simulcast on Fox News. Will moderators be fair . Steve we are fair and b balanced. Final hour of Fox And Friends begins right now. Ainsley Fox News alert. Tens of thousands of Port Workers are walking off the deal, shutting down ports along the coast. Brian the ports are responsible for half of u. S. Imports and billions in trade per month. Steve products will not be imported or exported, including things you see on the screen, s chemicals, iron, steel, vehicles and European Chicago should be on the list, too. Lawrence lydia who just spoke to president of The N international longshoremens association, what did he tell you . Good morning, he tells me this is going to be the first day of a long battle that they are prepared to fight. I asked him what would it take to end this strike now on day one. He said just to get back to the bargaining table, he wants 5 per Hour Increase every year for all Work Ers across the board. The average wage for workers at port of New York and New Jersey 39 per hour. Most are making 100 to 250,000. Here is more of what he had to tell me much watch this they are money crazy. Not one company belongs to the united states, but they want to get rid of our jobs across the united states. 5 per hour every year. The chain is being broke now. Cars wont come in. You know, i asked mr. Daggets how he feels about this strike starting that will stop container shipments, hampering and devastating the economy. American farmers is who i think about. Mr. Daggett told me i have it shift said, he is not shutting down the economy, he is blaming them. He is demanding dignity and fair pay. Ive been talking to members on the ground taking to the picket line. One of their top concerns is inflation weve all been living under. Their wages are not keeping up with Cost Of Living increases. They need this to keep up and get by. Automation, they are concerned about automation replacing their jobs and trying to protect their livelihood for next generation. Lawrence is that 5 per hour they are asking for increase over six years . Yeah, that is what he says just to get back to the bargaining table. If is not clear what that means in terms of percentage, the union turned down a 50 Wage Increase over next eight years which sounds like quite a Step Up in wages. Seems like the two are awfully far apart. Steve workers told you they are worried about inflation, what they are doing will increase inflation. When talking to the workers, everyone knows this will be settled. How long can they be out and not draw a paycheck. This union does help basic needs get met and people get a check. And mr. Daggett said one month, two months and speculated beyond that. Whether membership has his back remains to be seen. Seems like he has a lot of support. This is his fourth term, he was just reelected to another fouryear term and people were excited to see him early this morning. He came to talk to them and just moments ago they showed support for him. Brian six ships are anchored off the coast, 35 will be by The End of the week. I remember ships on Long Island through the sound because they could not get in during covid, it was a huge hassle. Ainsley remember in california, took a long time to get products. Steve fruit and vegetables are perishable, that will all be rotten. Lawrence you get a 50 P Increase and then say no automation, as well. You got to pick one or the other. This massive increase in wages and then to say the Company Cant innovate that does not seen reasonable. Ainsley you know what will happen, the maritime industry will pass on to stores, Grocery Store and prices for us will go up. Steve administration will step in and invoke tapp hartley. Interesting if that comes up tonight when they put governor Tim Walz on the hot seat. Tonight is the Vice President ial debate you can watch on fox. Ainsley j. D. Vances team says he is ready to wipe the floor with Tim Walz. Lawrence here is preview of how candidates are preparing. Brian our idea to separate them, they get along. Begin with walzs Game Plan. B brian. Brian good morning. Minnesota governor Tim Walz is said to be nervous coming in to Tonights Debate and is worried about letting Vice President down. Largest Prediction Site online polymarket has away with 72 chance of winning Tonights Debate. Walz has two different advantages that are very clear here. First advantage, more experience than ohio senator j. D. Vance, 18 years under his belt as Governor And Congressman and walz is more likeable candidate. Walz is only of the four candidates who voters view more favorable than unfavorable. Vances rating is negative by 12 points. Walz team has been call ing debate prep camp north star, they believe tonight is about the Minnesota Governor staying true to who he is. Lean into every Man Persona and to not get caught up in mean and nasty attacks tonight. Tim should not get caught up in that, worry about what matters in americans lives. He needs to be real and that is what people are looking for. The Game Plan tonight is said to be concentrate on attacking former President Trump and focus on abortion, one big thing with moderators, they will leave the Fact Checking up to the candidates. Ainsley i like it better like that. Steve let them call each other. At Cbc News, we have alexis with a preview of what j. D. Vance is doing. Good morning, just a matter of hours, both candidates will face off for what could be first and final president ial debate. The Trump Team says walz is california Governor Gavin Newsom wearing a flannel shirt. Well see what goes down. The Team Plans to expose Tim Walz as a Fraud And Brand him as trader tim. Slamming his decision to retire from National Guard just before his unit was sent to war. They plan to attack walz for supporting woke left policies like free college tuition. They will attack the top of the t ticket. Trump team says harris is responsible for high prices for gas, groceries and housing. Former President Trump will watch this debate closely ands the economy is hot topic. What is difference for your plan for the economy and Kamala Harris . There is a lot of them, we are bringing companies back. We are lowering taxes and shes Raising Taxes. S economy and immigration will be discussed. There will be no factchecking between the moderators, that will be between the candidates. Trumps he thinks this whole thing is still rigged. Steve thank you. Brian if you watch sunday shows, the way she was after republicans is hardly balanszed and the president watches the sunday shows. Ainsley we have a clip. We know media seems uninterested in Fact CheckingJoe Biden from number of false claims he made. Ive lost track, ive told media is on every single side of this and it is our fault. President trump says xi was lovely individual. Do you agree . President trump gets along with world leaders. He is more effective diplomatically. That is different than laying down the law to xi jinping. Not that Donald Trump and i called out what happened in Sp Springfield im not asking about that, weve documented that, i am asking about your words. You only documented it after Donald Trump called attention to it. Steve preview. Brian he was doing a sunday show. He does four in one day. 100 since named. They are so confident they wont let Tim Walz do a solo interview. Ainsley We Saw that with Joe Biden, he campaigned from the basement and maybe they are doing it now. Lawrence i think that is why moderators dont matter for j. D. Vance. He is with them every sunday and has reps to defend agenda against progressive agenda. Brennan tried to play the victim. You guys concealed Joe Bidens health for all these years and we have to look at it on the Debate Stage and you got set on these stories and when he got out of the race, the stories stopped again. Steve j. D. Vance is in New York, He Sat down with Billionaire Class of republican donors at a Restaurant Brian they are open . Steve good point. I talked to one guy who was there and he said j. D. Vance was excellent, over 100 guests. He should be impressive tonight. Youll be able to see it on Fox News, we Will SimulcastCbc NewsVice President ial debate starting 8 p. M. Eastern and tune in tomorrow, well be official postgame show starting at 5 00 eastern time. Ainsley i dont remember, i had fox on, a graphic said 83 , 80 of all stories on trump are negative on Cbc News and stories for Kamala Harris what percentage was it positive for her . Brian 84 positive. New york times said Kamala Harris is their pick, they pick a democrats every year. What they did say what weve been saying, they say shes the patriotic choice, she is getting it because shes not trump. They say it is disservice to the american people to go into public office with sense she is being shielded from tough questions. Biden could back fire, capable generation stands ready to take the reigns of power. They called her out for not doing interviews. That shows how egregious and gaping this is. Lawrence i dont understand how they say that acknowledge it, but endorse her . Everyone knows, i just dont think most americans feel that way. Policies affect them on daytoday basis. Ainsley it is referendum on trump, when we interviewed melania, she talked about Kamala Harris and she just went through her record. My husband might have a few tweets, look at her record. As america, you get to choose. Very elegant way to end that going through her record. Steve 36 days to election day. Brian Fox News alert. Israeli troops moving deeper into Southern Lebanon after beginning their Ground Innovation overnight targeting hezbollah and by proxy iran. I think that it is very good that were talking about the islamic republic of iran because they are the source of violence and instability, threatening Troops Day and night. That is where israeli focus will go, we have some other fish to try to deal with first, hamas and hezbollah. Brian Fox NewsChief Correspondent Trey yingst joins us. Well get to your book, too. But your thoughts, first time since 2006, idf In Lebanon. Trey absolutely, israeli forces launched Ground Offensive into Southern Lebanon going after hezbollah positions along the border. My team and i were embedded with an israeli Commando Unit and went to the Hezbollah Unit O overnight. We got a look at the staging of israeli troops on the border and how they crossed into hezbollahcontrolled territory. There are a number of places they will put new pressure on the iranbacked group. They ordered evacuation of two dozen neighborhoods, they want people to go north of the litani ri river. Daniel hagari is addressing the israeli public. Israeli military has issued new homefront guidelines to civilians in israel to remain close to shelters and limit public gatherings. Well wait to see how hezbollah will respond to. Lawrence what was the Turning Point . Israel has been on offense with hamas, not for hezbollah. After the Pager Attack and now going more offensive, what changed . Trey i spoke with a number of israeli officials trying to understand why now after nearly a year of conflict with hezbollah along The Northern front. They said momentum, they targeted operatives, it was an israeli operation that took years to put into place. They have been able to target hezbollah leadership in the airstrikes and that changed dynamic. Steve quick question about the calendar, Tomorrow Night is start of holy days of the jewish new year, will that impact what israel is doing . Or is this a different year given October 7 was 51 weeks ago . Trey there is always concern for israelis with high holidays due to the fact other organizations have targeted israel on these days. We expect Homefront Command to stay in place fearing attacks from Gaza And Lebanon and iran, as well. Ainsley congratulations on your book, you are an excellent Jou Journalist and kept us abreast of what is happening there. You lived through this, it is Black Saturday, infiltered at attack. You write about how that day was for you and how close you came to death. Trey morning of October 7, i got a call from my producer who said something is happening in the south korea. We headed to the border as rockets were reigning down on israeli cities we did not know it was infiltration into Black Saturday. We tried to bring images to our viewers live on fox. As the day progressed we gathered more information from israeli communities under attack from hamas and people inside gaza. To get a full understanding what that day was like. Black saturday is My Story In Southern Israel on that Morning And Story of israeli soldiers, police officers, civilians taken hostage and later released as part of the ceasefire agreement, doctors, israeli lead ership, hamas leadership. It is what it was like to live through this war. It is still developing as we speak. The war in gaza continues a year into the Conflict And Focus shifted to The Northern front. Steve the book is officially out today, buy it wherever you buy boobs Black Saturday is written by our friend trey yingst. Thank you for bringing it to everybody.

R Robert Ray is in asheville, North Carolina, amid the devastation. It is hard to look at in asheville. It looks like tornado damage, but it is from rushing water from rain that fell in aftermath of hurricane helene. The smells and sights take you back. That is what many are going through. I want to make this clear. It is not just asheville in Dire Straits right now. So many communities in western North Carolina are impacted. Look at this video from pine spruce, this town we visited yesterday, a small town ruined by the water. A muddy mess and structures infiltrated by the mess and creeks. Hundreds are shut off from society and missing because they do nots have Cell Phone Service or power. They are awaiting aid and Red Cross and ngos are helping, as well. So many people without necessary goods to live and are hurting right now. That is a problem with 1. 5 million Power Outages. The Death Count continues to rise. We will traverse to another Mountain Town and see if we can get information outside of asheville to continue reporting on this catastrophic situation in western North Carolina. Back to you in the studio. Janice thank you for bringing those stories to us. I know a lot of people that watch are grateful to you for shining a spotlight on this story and well continue to watch it. We have Power Outages for millions of folks. North florida to Ohio Valley including the mountains of carolinas. We have rain in the forecast, most north of the really bad areas. It will not take much to cause more flooding. We saw avalanches of water because of hurricane helene. I read 40 Trillion gallons taking away livelihoods. This is a story well continue to watch. Asheville in terms of the forecast for rescue and recovery, dealing with mostly sunshine and dry conditions. Friday we could see scattered storms. Tropics, still monitoring several areas in the atlantic. We are in peak season. This is one we need to watch. Yesterday showing ominous situation like We Saw last week. Right now, not as imminent, it does not have a center of circulation. We hope it keeps trending this way, we have to look after it, if it goes to gulf of mexico, it has opportunity to develop. Scatter storms for eastern third of the country. The heat across california is another huge story. Lawrence, over to you. Lawrence Two Million people without power. Janice almost a week, humanitarian crisis. Lawrence East CoastDock Workers on strike, shutting down 36 major ports. For one business owner, this feeling is familiar, six months since the Bridge Collapse stopped ports for a week. Thank you for joining the program. My father is a truck driver, i know the situation all too well. Tell us impact of shutting the ports down . It is hurtful. It has my guys sitting home not really working. After past six months after dealing with the Bridge Collapse, we were already struggling to keep work. Now we hear of this strike situation. It is hard right now. Lawrence i hate to ask this, how do you survive with something like this . You were already hit hard, 10 Billion Dollars projected of impact oflet baltimore Bridge Collapse. People are living paycheck to paycheck with a job, and you may be out of work right now. Yes, we did prepulling, means pulling things out of port to try to survive next couple days, we have four or five days of work. It is hard right now. I thank the state of maryland for giving funds during the Bridge Collapse. People went through that by now. Just tlrying to make Payments Ad Pay cost of Fuel And Toll and everything else. Lawrence i hope they come to a compromise. As a Truck Drivers son, we need you guys, we appreciate you guys. I know yall can make a deal. Thank you for joining the program. Absolutely, i give all Truck Drivers doing container work, i hope you guys can stick in there. As i say, keep trucking. Lawrence just keep trucking. Thank you. We are counting down to Tonights Cbc NewsVice President ial debate. Will senator j. D. Vance get a fair shake . Tim Murtaugh Will Preview tonight. He is next.

As a wise friend and fierce defender, we advocate for better health, financial security, and stronger communities. Aarp. Join us in making a difference. S i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years in active duty. I understand the veteran mentality. These are people who have served. Theyve been in leadership positions. Theyre willing to put their life on the line if necessary. And they come to us and they say, i need some financial help at this point in time. Theyre not looking for a handout. Theyre looking for a little hand up. My team at Newday Usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan. Steve well, the Trump Campaign is setting expectations ahead of the Vice President ial debate between j. D. Vance and Tim Walz. And that comes amid Reports Walz is Fighting Nervouses for the Big Night but assuring hes no political newcomer. Here is trump 2024 official tim murtaugh. Good morning. Good morning, steve. Steve i saw this, i think on cnn, how he has a case of nerves. Hes done this A Million times, hes not nervous. No, that is most egregious case of expectationy lowering. Hes been through two gubernatorial races. Hes been through this a bunch of times and youll not see Governor Jazz hands like you are u used to seeing on the campaign trail. You will see a guy more buttoned up. He has a big job to defend Kamala Harris record and her agenda of Raising Taxes and contributing to inflation shes caused and j. D. Vance will do a great job. He is best Promoter And Defender of Donald Trump and his policy. Great match up were looking forward to. Steve there is always a possibility that j. D. Vance will turn it back to, i know were talking about inflation, tell you how border is impacting inflation. We will hear a lot about the border. That might come up, the two issues go Hand In hand. Border is causing Fentanyl Cries and violence and affecting small towns, every state is a Border State because Kamala Harris has dumped illegals in places across this country. That is message Donald Trump is picking up. Hell be in Wisconsin Today talking about the economy and taxes, focusing on taxes. Kamala harris, we know, would raise taxes by tune of 5 Trillion and let Donald TrumpTax Cuts expire, meaning Tax Increase on everyone who pays taxes. C contrast that with Donald Trump. Gave americans biggest Tax Cut in history. If you pay taxes, you got a Tax Cut. The economy, you cutting taxes and strengtheng the border. Steve thank you. M meanwhile, glad they turned off that buzzer. Happy 100th birthday to jimmy carter, First American president to ever turn 100. White house is featuring this display on the front lawn. He was born in 1924, his families he stays up to date on politics and his beloved atlanta braves. Happy birthday, jimmy carter. More Fox And Friends after this break. Brian Vice PresidentKamala Harrises she supports legalizing marijuana on federal level. Her instance is notable considering she sent people to prison while she was California Attorney general. Griff jenkins is live at the white house. Griff good morning. This is first time harris has spoken about this issue since becoming nominee in august, Reaff Reaffirming Support for legalization of marijuana. Speaking yesterday on a podcast. Listen. People should not be going to jail for smoking weed, we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior and ive this is not a new position for me, ive felt for a long time we needed to legalize it. Griff she has not always held that view, she aggressively pursued marijuana crimes with convictions you see there. Her views began to change when she got to washington, she c cosponsored a bill. Her position now goes farther than her boss as President Biden stopped short of full federal Legalization And Harris may have to huddle with her running mate walz. He was asked about it and dodged the question, he indicated he thinks it should be left up to the state. Maybe that will come up tonight.

Tens of thousands of Port Workers are walking on the job right now after failing to reach a deal shutting down major ports along the East Coast.

Hezbollah terrorists In Lebanon responding shortly after Firing Rockets on central israel injuring at least two people. The u. S. Says it is sending more troops to the region as the conflict seems to be escalating to a widerranging war. Well continue to bring you the latest on this as it develops. Brian keep in mind, too, so far they went in starting at 10 00 Last Night and met almost no resistance. No fatalities. So theyre moving forward. When you kill 3,000 of their fighters and wipe out their eight most important people and kill the head of that organization, kill the head of hamas over there, you wouldnt think there is any leadership. They got some fighters but there is no leadership. You dont know what youll come up against. This is fascinating because they have to move in, they have to get a distance which would allow 80,000 to 100,000 israelis to go back in their homes and sustain that distance to a point where a month and two months or three months from now they wont get racked again. Lawrence remember, they took out the coms, now they are in the Stone Age with that your Communication System and no leadership. Brian they got rid of cell phones.
