Transcripts For FOXNEWS The Faulkner Focus 20241005 : compar

Hurricane helene is more surreal than ever because the time that has passed. The Death Toll is now climbing above 220 people. It is expected to grow as hundreds of people are still missing in areas that are so tough to get to and that means that they are cut off from the lifesaving things that they need. This is the deadliest storm to hit the mainland u. S. Since hurricane katrina. This is the faulkner focus. The more our cameras can get in and show you this and the more people can get some of the help they need, what they are dealing with becomes really clear. Tragic scenes from decimated communities are now in full view. President biden has spent the last two days visiting hardhit areas and he said this about the people in the middle of all of that. Watch it. What are the stilts in the Storm Zone. What do they need after you saw today . President biden in the Storm Zone. I wondered what storm you were talking about. They are getting everything they need. They are very happy across the board. Harris what is he talking about that they are happy . What does he mean that they are getting everything that they need . What does he mean he doesnt know which storm were talking about when we ask about Hurricane Helene . What is going on . People on the ground certainly dont understand what he is talking about because their reality is hell. The new York Post is reporting Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina in particular are fending for themselves as response from the Bidenharris Fema overwhelms and people in those areas are not staying quiet. I was here my entire life and grew up saw hurricane hugo, fran, floyd, The List goes on. Nothing compares to what has happened out there. 15, 19 hours days and i have seen two fema officials, two officials, no trucks, no trailers, no camp. Thats really the truth right now. I just i feel like im living in an alternate universe. I dont understand where our government is. It had been several days since it happened there was still no aid here at all. It is all communitybased essentially. It is too late. I mean, they took too long. They had it took them five days to get here. It is disgraceful. They keep saying we the people, no, there is no we the people, it is them versus us. They arent for us. Harris Madison Scar Pino is in North Carolina ten miles from asheville. Madison. Harris, the majority of those deaths that you mentioned at the top of the show are here in North Carolina. Were in a city now, one of the hardesthit areas. People who live here are describing some of this town as a War Zone or apocalyptic. You can see why. Right now were standing on a lot that was home to four or five mobile homes. We talked to the owner of the t just there. He tells us thankfully he got in touch with everyone who lives here when the floodwaters started coming up and they got out safe. But hasnt talked to them since they got out. And he tells us that quite frankly they dont have a lot of money and he doesnt know how they are going to recover from this. This is one of the countless terrifying and devastating stories were hearing from people who live here. When it comes to that federal help, we are hearing from residents that they have seen some fema people on the ground. Some people tell us that they havent heard from them or seen them themselves yet but another person tells us that they have already applied for that federal aid. But they are not relying on that. When it comes to people cleaning up here, right now its majority neighbors helping neighbors. Here is what one guy had to say. The real heroes of this community are the community itself. It takes so long to get papers signed in washington, weve got boots on the ground here actually the neighbors helping neighbors. Doesnt matter about anything other than help. Dump trucks going up. People bringing excavators and getting muck cleaned up and getting our infrastructure back. The guys worked since the storm started. Harris, right now the number one need remains clean water. The thing about some of these mountain communities, Well Water is very common but even if people still have Well Water right now, they are being told not to drink it or use it because of the contamination. We will be on the ground here all day and throughout the next few days keeping you updated with everything. Back to you. Harris thank you very much. Great reporting there. I want to bring in now a voice that we hear from during the storm, ron desantis, Republican Governor of florida. Where the effects of Hurricane Helene were hit first. His state took it first and you are feeling it, too, governor. I want to start, and i have to, because it just seems surreal that the president of the united states would say that anyone is happy and that they have enough at this point. And that he was confused about which storm we mean. Your reaction. Well, harris, we obviously got the initial impacts of the storm. It was a category 4 storm. We prepared for it. We had Tens Of Thousands of Utility Workers ready to go and Power Restorations in record time after a major hurricane. But we also between state and local conducted thousands of Rescue Missions as soon as the storm happened. So then we were in a situation where we got through friday of last week, come in Saturday Morning and we didnt have a demand for rescue but you saw western North Carolina, you saw people that were very desperate. So i authorized air assets, National Guard, State Guard, Highway Patrol to go into western North Carolina and it created this Odd Circumstance you have people there in western North Carolina. We have a lot of floridians that go there over the summer. It wasnt like a random spot on the map for us. That is an important part of our state people where they go. But you have a situation where the first people that they come in contact with is some State Guard unit from florida and not any of the federal assets . So the reality is, i dont think the federal assets were marshaled very quickly at all but the lesson that i think people should take for this we learned in florida long ago, we dont rely on fema to do any of that type of activity. We rely on fema to basically be a bank account. There is federal programs in place. We get our people qualified for individual assistance, reimbursement for some of the debris. But we take the matters into our own hands for the preparation and the rescue and response, and i just think it is sad this has come to it. But i have a lot of people up there now working. They are bringing food in. Taking people back to safety. It is a really, really dire situation up there in the mountains. The people that have been up there before. Ive been up there a number of times since ive been governor, and it is beautiful but it is rugged. If roads start blowing out or failing, you cant reach some of these communities unless you are putting in air assets, which we have been willing to do. Harris part of that beauty is because it is so inaccessible and preserved, the nature there. Ive seen it and lived in the state more than once in my lifetime, North Carolina in particular. It is. Where the president was, i just want you you have shown so much leadership and your experience with the Storm Type of situation really shines. You see governor Brian Kemp of georgia and you see others. You are having to do a lot of this on your own. When you hear the president of the united states say that he doesnt first of all know which storm were talking about when we ask about it as journalists and people are happy with what he has done. What is your reaction, governor . Well, i can tell you in western North Carolina the reports im getting thats just not true. Our guys are out there. People are desperate. They are very thankful that you have florida assets that are there. Weve got our Department Of Transportation is up there. We brought 7500 feet of temporary bridges. Well help repair bridges up there. Federal government is not doing any of that. But the reality is is you just cannot the federal bureaucracy is not going to do the trick in these situations. So we were able to do it. Interesting in florida, we conducted thousands of Rescue Missions as soon as the storm hit. Most a lot of it local. Some joint, state and local and other state. All those missions were successful. We did have fatalities but the people that were in Dire Straits that needed help got rescued and brought to safety. That is the way its done. Harris you helping other states. They really need it. I was on the radio with a station in morning for quite some time in North Carolina and it is grim and they are finding their own way not only to sustain but to deal with the loss of life and to discover that on their own. It is heartbreaking. Look, this had a second layer until it seemed like late yesterday and there was a Collision Point again with you at the center of it unleashing the National Guard on a situation that really is the federal governments responsibility. A reprieve at least for now. Dozens of ports during the Port Strike which ended overnight, along the East And Gulf coasts have reopened after the dock Workers Union reached a tentative deal. It offers a 62 Wage Hike over six years. The two sides will still have until January 15th to reach a full deal. So i would imagine, governor, if that doesnt happen, this gives you a little bit of time and we need that cooling off period, biden could have done that before. But were not done with this yet. Well, harris, i did an Executive Order to declare a State Of Emergency with respect to the ports because we cant have a situation where they are trying to cripple the economy and by extension cripple the ability of Storm Victims to be able to have the supplies that they need to be able to rebuild their homes and get back on their feet. So i authorized National Guard to be at our ports. They would have received cargo. They would have done whatever is necessary. Im glad that subsequent to that theyve decided this was not a good idea to continue on this Work Stoppage but were going to be ready in january because yes, we will get a lot of stuff done between now and then with respect to the storm. There will be a lot more that needs to be done. And i dont think you want to put those folks and make them pay the price because of a lack of leadership in washington. So we were ready to do what needed to be done now, fortunate plea we wont have to do that in the short term. Well be ready in january as well. We are going to get the things to the people that need them. That should be true in florida, georgia, North Carolina and across the united states. Harris tennessee, virginia, south carolina, so much. Thank you for joining me in focus. Biden will still be in office. Yeah, the current administration will still have it for a few days in january. Bless you and the states are you helping and, of course, florida. Former first Lady Melania Trump has spoken out in favor of abortion rights. You would think the far left would like that.

My profound honor to have your support. [cheers and applause] harris i really want to get into this. This has been an issue for the left. Former republican congresswoman Liz Cheney campaigned yesterday with Vice President Kamala Harris in wisconsin where she endorsed the Vice President. The v. P. Was in that Swing State looking to appeal to antitrump voters and cheney is an outspoken critic of the former president , as you know. Four years ago she was a vocal critic of Vice President Kamala Harris. In 2020 she posted Kamala Harris is a radical liberal and supports dangerous policies that would devastate millions of americans. Here is senator tom cotton. Liz cheney said Kamala Harris would be dangerous for america and the world. I dont think Donald Trump has changed in the last four years. I think Liz Cheney has changed.

I know Kamala Harris<\/a> hasnt changed. At every turn Kamala Harris<\/a> and Joe Biden<\/a> have made the world more dangerous. Harris power panel. Tammy bruce, Fox News<\/a> contributor. Patrick murphy, former pennsylvania congressman. Great to have you both. Im confused by this actually. You are going to lean on a republican to come forth, somebody who has criticized you mightily in the past. What do you make of this . I think it is folks that are really put the country over party and thats why a lot of folks say it isnt democrat versus republican. It is people who believe in the constitution. Senator cotton that was in 2020 before January 6th<\/a> and i think there are people that really are upset. Donald trump lost 2020 and they still wont admit he lost in 2020. I think thats i dont think there is anyone at this point who is still confused about who to vote for. You are not waiting to find out who Liz Cheney<\/a> likes before you decide to not vote for trump. You could not vote for trump and write in someone. You could still write in robert f. Kennedy. You dont need to vote for Kamala Harris<\/a> who Liz Cheney<\/a>, who i have known and who i have liked and who i noted on x the other day is this is like kind of a public selfemulation because of her personal rage at Donald Trump<\/a> who has said things about her father and her fathers legacy. So i think look, everyone is a Human Being<\/a> and has feelings. But clearly this is not about country over party. This is about Liz Cheney<\/a>, she thinks getting revenge. But i dont know who it will sway at this point. I think people pay attention now. Its five weeks to go, 4 1 2<\/a> weeks to go. There is a reason why 40 of the 44 members of Trumps Cabinet Arent<\/a> supporting him including his Vice President<\/a>. There is a reason why 741 national leaders including the commander in afghanistan who came out for Kamala Harris<\/a>. Harris what about the 370 who do support from former members of his administration came out, the Signatores Yesterday<\/a> and talking about support for the president. I am not quite sure if you are seeing the whole picture there. By the way, how do you think that some of those democrats feel about this current administration who are trapped fighting for their lives in a Storm Zone<\/a> that happened eight days ago last thursday . How do you think they are feeling . They may have some misgivings about the current. I do want to get into the Voting Process<\/a> for those Swing State<\/a>s that have been hit by the storm in a second. Your reaction. One of the arguments why trump is so popular is the issue about the establishment. One of the Things Trump<\/a> tried to do in his first term was bring everyone in. Clearly some mistakes were made when it came to judgment about certain kinds of people. At the same time when you have people they will be moved on certain issues now like the storm, like the response, like whats happening in The Middle East<\/a>. But not with someone who is let me finish. Not someone who is reviled by the left because of war mongering aspects, reliance On War<\/a> and that is the argument. Liz cheney is not a blank Slate Everyone<\/a> loved. She is representative of a dynamic that people are tired of. Keeps us on our heels. Americans what change. The top dynamic for voters. Liz cheney and Kamala Harris<\/a> and biden are not change. Trump is the change. Its why we dont have foreign wars anymore. Harris there is long war going on we could have helped prevent in two places in the world right now. Russia, Ukraine And Israel<\/a> and on two fronts with terrorists. Critics are going hard after liberal Media Member<\/a> for vile comments about melania trump. The former First Lady<\/a> appears to signal her support for reproductive rights in a Video Out<\/a> yesterday. Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that i safeguard. Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth, individual freedom. What does my body, my choice really mean . Harris this take is pretty shocking. I think she hates him. Okay . We can all agree on that. Thats a given. I also think she wants to take him out. Harris wow. That is violent. Theyve got to stop talking like that about a former president who has had two assassination attempts. Thats just ignorant. A tiny sample of the social media backlash. These are such vile comments that they are exactly what the views audience love. It is targeted perfectly at a radically feminist liberal audience that loves hate. Another. This is loving intolerant rhetoric the left uses which they accuse the opposing side of using. This one, those women are a danger to america. They do more than anyone else to stoke political and social tensions. The former president says he thinks his wife should be allowed to think for herself. We spoke about it and i said you have to write what you believe. Im not going to tell you what to do. You have to write what you believe. She is her own person. That has been clear. I also argue constantly considering my background on the left and with the national organization for women that there is no real choice when you are economically disadvantaged. When you are on the margins. Is that choice only comes in when there is a surprise and you can think and say i can do this as opposed to i cant do this. So if this goes also to reproductive real freedom. It is not freedom when you do it 70 of abortions happen because of an economic problem or because of pressure from the outside. But if you have the money and you can say i can do this, i can choose this. But thats only when it is a real choice. Thats the only real personal freedom and where a better economy allows all of us. Nobody wants more abortions but when you are giving women a genuine choice and they can do it you have more babies, more women who dont have to go through that. Thats being prochoice not just saying you cant afford it, this is enforced by the government but well let you have an abortion. Harris one of the points during the Vice President<\/a> ial debates recently jd vance was making that point. That republicans needed to work to be more supportive of women as profamily, which they are, he said. They needed to make that case and earn the trust. It was a nice moment in the debate talking about it. I do think that women dont trust Donald Trump<\/a> because he says one thing and does another. Harris let me ask you this. I do want to get back to this point with the Left And Melania<\/a> trump. Why cant she be her own woman . Why all that criticism . That was gross from the view. The view is not the Litmus Test<\/a> of america. They were afraid of that remark. Harris why did they handle it that i with a . I would agree with you and tammy on that point. Im not defending that. The former First Lady<\/a>, second gentleman, kids should be off limits. Let the candidates fight for himself. Harris why cant she have her opinion . Is it because women on the left, at least these women on the left who are very vocal about, you know, being the only ones on the topic that really know whats going on, they are not accepting of all women. I think they are frustrated like a lot of women across america. More than 1third of women dont have reproductive. Its because of the economy. That is what forces women to have to make that choice because they dont have the money for an emergency or surprise. Trump will change this economy and thats why abortion is going down. Harris i will wrap it there. Glad to have you in studio. Lets get to The Middle East<\/a>. Israel continues to ramp up its fight against the hezbollah terrorists in lebanon. From the air and on the ground. Massive explosions overnight in the Capital City<\/a> of lebanon, beirut. Were still expecting the Retaliation Israel<\/a> is saying it will bring forth after irans massive Missile Attack<\/a> earlier this week. Well get into what exactly that could look like for Israels Enemy<\/a> to the north. Nate foye is on the ground inside Israel And Brent<\/a> sadler also joins me next in focus. Stay close. Might put this in the category of Damage Control<\/a> and relief. The White House<\/a> has just put this out. Fema has shipped more than 11 1 2 Million<\/a> meals, 150 generators, and now they will be giving an extra 45 Million<\/a> for the six states that have been hit by Hurricane Helene<\/a>. If you do the math on that, its 17 Million<\/a> for North Carolina<\/a> alone. Every little bit helps and theyre doing the least. We know from the department of Homeland Security<\/a> that fema is running short on cash and reported they wont have enough money to help anybody in the next storm. Where we are right now. This feels like Damage Control<\/a> coming out of the White House<\/a>. 45 Million<\/a>. Theyll take it. But wow, okay. Well move on. Israel is launching more intense Air Strike<\/a>s happening overnight. They are doing that into the Capital City<\/a> of lebanon, beirut. Targeting known hezbollah terrorist strongholds. The israeli Defense Force<\/a> released that video to show what it says are dozens of hezbollah weapons left behind during its Ground Operations<\/a> in lebanon. They say that they found that Weapons Cache<\/a> in the bedroom of a home. Meanwhile, that jewish nation is weighing how to retaliate for irans massive ballistic Missile Attack<\/a> earlier this week. Theyve been saying they will do something. What would it look like . Former israeli prime Minister Bennett<\/a> posted this. We must take out irans nuclear program now. Critics blame the Bidenharris Administration<\/a> for getting this for not getting this thing to the point where they could solve it. When President Trump<\/a> was the president it wasnt happening. Iran was broke. After giving them pounds of cash theyre on track to have a nuclear weapon. Iran was scared of america when President Trump<\/a> was in the White House<\/a>. Right now they think they can push around and walk all over Joe Biden<\/a> and Kamala Harris<\/a>. Harris the day after irans attack President Biden<\/a> said he would not support an israeli strike on irans nuclear program. Yesterday reporters pressed biden on how he thinks israel should respond. [inaudible question] President Biden<\/a> were discussing that. What are the plans to allow israel to strike back against iran. We dont allow israel. We advise israel. Harris Nate Foye<\/a> reporting from tel aviv. So as we consider what comes next in this conflict key insight from irans supreme leader speaking before thousands in tehran during a rare Friday Sermon<\/a> and said iran will strike israel again if necessary. He characterized sending 200 ballistic missiles to israel against a defensive action and defended hamass atrocities on October 7th<\/a> nearly a Fuel Year<\/a> ago. The palestinian nation has a right to stand up against its enemy that ruined its life. The palestinian nation has this right. Irans foreign Min Esther<\/a> is in Beirut Today<\/a> saying if israel responds to tuesdays attack, iran will retaliate with an even bigger onslaught. Israel continues fighting several iranian proxies at once. They took out a key Hamas Commander<\/a> in an Air Strike<\/a> in the west bank. They also reportedly targeted a possible successor to nasrallah in beirut overnight. Neither have commented on that. In the past four days its Air Strike<\/a>s and Ground Forces<\/a> have killed 250 terrorists in Southern Lebanon<\/a> and taken out 2,000 hezbollah positions. But the cost, harris, is increasing. Today israel announced the deaths of two more soldiers killed while Fighting Hezbollah<\/a> on the northern front. Meanwhile hezbollah rockets continue coming across, 250 rockets and projectiles fired yesterday with the sirens blaring at this hour. Harris we have a former Pentagon Official<\/a> and senior Heritage Fellow<\/a> joining me now. A bit of what the world would say a delay at this point. Rosh hashanah, Jewish New Year<\/a> and we wish everyone i would imagine there is a calculation also going on with israel as the united states do you feel like they are doing as much as they could to shore up our ally taking nuclear weapons sites off the table for israel to even, you know, maybe posture and say they might hit them . Well, thanks again for having me on today. It is remarkable because of the tempo of activities from israel. The successes from the exploding pagers, walkietalkies, taking out hezbollahs leader. It seems like a pause. The complexities of a mass attack into defended sites is an operational plan that has to go into effect and make sure all the pieces are in place. It is understandable there would be a delay before any substantial response from israel. Despite the holidays and despite the military actions that are increasing in Southern Lebanon<\/a>. I think we should be heartened to the fact that israel will respond in some significant manner still. Harris October 7th<\/a> is monday. What are your thoughts . Well, were a year into what should have been foreseen coming based on all the activities in The Middle East<\/a> and yet we were Asleep At The Wheel<\/a> here in d. C. This current national security team. And then the mixed messaging in persistently trying to get to a ceasefire rather than trying to accelerate the conclusion of the hostilities. Were now into a year. It is something that could have been avoided and certainly more quickly prosecuted to a successful end and one favorable to u. S. Interests and less loss of life on all sides. Harris why do you think that is . Why are we at a Year Point<\/a> . Part of it is domestic politics and concerns in the democrat party. I think thats one that has been talked about by many people much more informed about the political calculations. I think also have is an attempt to try to split the difference despite the horrific nature of this current round that started this horrific round of violence, the attacks of October 7th<\/a>. Rape, murder, butchering of small children and infants. The nature of the acts of that day and the Terrorist Organizations<\/a> that have gathered together to include the iranian government is a stark difference. It should not have been a very hard choice to put much more visible and support on israel and a lot more pressure, visibly and also in the background, on iran to end its support to these groups. Harris quickly, do you think israel will keep on the table no matter what President Biden<\/a> says, those nuclear sites that exist . Well, there are three categories of targets in my mind that are worth thinking about for this response. Right now its no wonder that over the years of dithering that now iran is within days of having a Weapon Or Weapon<\/a> Grade Uranium<\/a> to put on a missile that they demonstrated they have. Going after the nuclear sites are many. Deeply buried. Some of them probably will escape knowledge of where they are located to be taken out. Thats a complex task. Going after the leadership, a lot more targeted could make iranians speak up against the government. But a lot of risk. Harris part of the risk is for hezbollah starting this that they did on October 8th<\/a> to shore up their terror buddies in hamas. All funded by iran because they took out one Hezbollah Leader<\/a> and then they took out the man who had been given the backup position. The israelis are serious about this. Great to have you on the program. I look forward to the next time. Thank you for your expertise and time. Have a good weekend. Harris its the other border. Our northern border. And things are getting tough up there now. The Bidenharris Administration<\/a> needs to learn more about protecting our borders, or at least act like they know. The stunning numbers on illegal immigrants coming in from canada now. And just its one issue at a time now on the border that the Vice President<\/a> has flipflopped on and she just simply cannot escape it.

Harris Country Music Superstar<\/a> Garth Brooks<\/a> is denying an allegation he raped one of his former makeup artists. He says he is incapable of doing what she claims he did five years ago. Senior national correspondent William La Jeunesse<\/a> on the story. William. Harris, the claim comes five years after the alleged incident and three years after the stylist stopped working for brooks, who she claims sexually assaulted her in a Los Angeles Hotel<\/a> room in 2019. Brooks denies the claim saying lawyers for the woman attempted to extort millions from him to keep the allegations private saying quote, for the last two months ive been hassled to no end with threats, lies and tragic tales of what my future would be if i did not write a check for many millions of dollars. It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face. The sued seeks a Jury Trial<\/a> and unspecified damages. Her attorneys say brooks seized what he saw as an opportunity to subject a female employee to a side he conceals from the public. Brooks says those attorneys threatened him with a lawsuit after he refused to rehire the stylist. The accuser began working for Brooks Wife<\/a> in 1999 but garth took her on in 2017. She continued working for him until 2021. Even though the Sexual Harassment<\/a> was supposed to have occurred in 2019 and continued for several years. Brooks currently plays in las vegas. Hush money, no matter how much or how little is Hush Money<\/a> that is Human Behavior<\/a> that i am not capable have. Have to see where it goes. Harris well cover it. Americas other border, the one to our north, is wide open. Weve been saying it here on fox for years, 3 1 2. New numbers show a 50fold rise in illegal crossings at our northern border and why weve been reporting on it. Suddenly it is out of control under the Bidenharris Administration<\/a>. Why is that . Illegal crossings there were at 365 in 2021. In fiscal year 2024, 19,000. Thats more than the last 17 years combined. F. B. I. Director Christopher Wray<\/a> with stark warningings earlier this year. Were seeing a wide array of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border. When i sat here last year i walked through how we were already in a heightened threat environment. Since then, weve seen the threat from foreign terrorists rise to a whole other level. Harris why dont Biden And Harris<\/a> listen to their own people . Border patrol has encountered more than 1. 7 Million<\/a> people crossing over who could pose a national security threat. Another report shows the administration allowed people on domestic flights with 0 identification. And more data this week showing Tens Of Thousands<\/a> of people convicted of Sexual Assault<\/a> and murder. Illegal immigrants who already broke one law breaking into this country are known for killing people in their country and they are loose in american cities around the country. Sean duffy, cohost of the Bottom Line<\/a> and former wisconsin congressman. First of all, just your reaction to that big news this week of how many killers and other criminals coming from other countries we dont know where they are right now in this country. You and i and your viewers have long suspected it was what was happening. People were screened and let into country. It is confirmation. Again, these people are on our streets, they are on our airplanes riding with us. It begs the question who thinks this is good for america . Does it make us stronger or more prosperous, does it make us a better country . I think the answer to all those things is no. The question becomes why would any leader allow this to happen . You Cant Fire<\/a> mayorkas who has been part of the scheme, Kamala Harris<\/a>, you Cant Fire<\/a> her but you can in november. Why this issue is rising to the top and why we should talk about it. Is this what we want our country to look like where we have people who are harris, these are coming from heightened areas, heightened Risk Factors<\/a> and Border Patrol<\/a> is forced to let them still into our country. Harris she was just at the border and could have talked about it. They had the numbers, we had them. Kamala harris has done a complete 108 on this. However, the Vice President<\/a> Kamala Harris<\/a> cannot seem to shake her past when it comes to banning fracking. The 180, here it comes. A new ad highlights the issue. This week she did an Interview And Reporter<\/a> pressed her on it, watch. Let me start by saying that ad as you described it is absolutely a mischaracterization. I will not Ban Fracking<\/a>. I did not as Vice President<\/a>. In fact, i cast the tiebreaking vote to open up more fracking leases. Harris we showed our audience how she said she would Ban Fracking<\/a>. Sean. First of all, liar. The only Reason Fracking<\/a> was in that bill was Joe Manchin<\/a> from west virginia. If you recall democrats needed his vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act<\/a> which was the green new deal. Joe manchin fought to get some Fracking Legislation<\/a> in that bill. Kamala harris didnt want it. Her comments were crystal clear. A simple question and she gave a simple answer yes, i will Ban Fracking<\/a>. The question would become does she outright Ban Fracking<\/a> if she wins the presidency or regulate and rule fracking to death, which is the same thing as banning it . Well see. Hopefully she doesnt have that opportunity. Harris was she lying then or are we hearing it now . Where is the truth on it . It matters in pennsylvania and other places across the country where it is built into their economy as they try to be part of the answer to help us transition to a point back to being energy independent.
