Through the region in what has become the deadliest u. S. Mainland hurricane since katrina. Well take you live to North Carolina in just moments. Welcome to Fox News live, im Jacqui Heinrich. Griff im griff jenkins. Meanwhile, former President Trump is returning to butler, pennsylvania, today at the same field where he was nearly assassinated less than three months ago. Elon musk will be among the notable guests there. Alexis mcat also, who covered that event in july, is there again in butler with more. Hey, alexis. Reporter hey, griff. Yeah, things are going to look much different than they did 12 the weeks ago, last time former President Donald Trump was up on that stage here. Were 30 days away from the election, so thats his message again today, he will do what it takes the fight for america. But this time hes going to be standing behind bulletproof glass as people say theyve noticed much more security. What looks different Today Security wise when youre back . Theres a lot more, it seems to me, a lot more. More in the crowd, more organized. Last time was, it was kind of just you could tell it was different. You could tell there was something off, but theres definitely more reporter and its going to be a very emotional day here in butler, pennsylvania, griff. I was on this Media Riser pretty much in the same spot, about 80 feet back was where the former president was speaking. What we heard was what kinded sounded like fire firecrackers, the former president went down behind that riser, and we were not sure if he was going to come back up. [gunfire] get down, get down, get down [background sounds] what are we doing . What are we doing . Reporter thats just some of the chaos that unfolded on stage 12 weeks ago, shots ringing out as former President Trump was speaking. He fell to the ground after that bullet grazed his ear. The gunman was able to somehow just climb right up on a roof that day and open fire into the crowd. I want to show you a live look at the memorial for corey comperatore, okay . Hes a volunteer fire aman, a Husband And Dad shot and killed at this butler rally. Former President Trump will honor him and two Otherral Rally Goers who were shot and injured. They say him coming back here motivates people to go to the polls. Listen. I think that the turnout for trump is gown to be the really huge. Pennsylvanias filled with hard working people, labor industry, and i think that they see how he fights for us. Reporter and at all of these rallies that ive covered, you can say the mood if can be electric. I expect it to be emotional here today, a massive crowd much bigger than last time. Who else will be here . Elon musk, to name just one of the notable guests, along with j. D. Vance and members of trumps family. Well keep you posted. Back to you. Griff and with four hours until the event starts, we can see that crowd is actually packed behind you. Alexis mcadams, great work on that tragic Day And Today as well. Alexis, thank you. J j on the heels of a rally in flint, michigan, Vice President harris is headed to the Disaster Zone in North Carolina to the assess the damage of Hurricane Helene. Lucas tomlinson is live on the ground ahead of that visit. What do we expect from the Vice President today . If. Reporter well, theres been a lot of pressure for the Vice President to come here to asheville. Shes been anxious to to come here. Shes stated as well as President Biden she didnt want to disturb some of the rescue efforts, some of the of thes efforts to help people heal. This car behind me in all this mud, this is a city thats used to hosting millions of tourists a year on a typical Fall Weekend in october like this, hundreds, thousands of people would be here on the streets here in the river Arts District just the enjoy the sights and sounds. Thats not the case today. You mentioned the Vice President speaking Last Night in michigan, heres a little bit at what she said. She took some shots at Donald Trump. As president , he did not lift a finger to save the pensions of millions of american workers. We did. [cheers and applause] we did. This is a man who sold promise after promise to american workers but never delivered, who said he supports socalled right to work laws 100 . Those are his words. He when joked and laughed he who joked and laughed about firing striking workers. Reporter here in western North Carolina paratroopers in chinook helicopters from the Combat Aviation Brigade from Fort Liberty have been ramping up and delivering missions to those badly in need of some aid. We just heard and saw a chinook flying overhead just a few moments ago. Critics say they should have been ordered the Ais Cyst much sooner. Now, the North Carolina air national guard has been here and pleating rescue missions, some completing rescue missions, some 146 in all, rescuing 530 people as well as 150 pets. Overnight, 80,000 pounds of Relief Supplies were sent to asheville to be delivered by the 82nd airborne. The hardest hit areas, a Distribution Center being run by fema. Earlier, Ashevilles Mayor spoke to neil ca view though. This is my city, i have never seen it like this, and it is the going to take a long time to dig out so that we are able to rebuild anden continue to be the amazing the and continue to be the amazing city that we are. This is a place where we have over 11 Million tourists a year, but right now were just devastated. Reporter so again, 11 MillionTourists Visit asheville every year, thats about A Million a month. And just to get another sense how important tourism so to this town, a minor League Baseball Team for the astros, their nickname is the tourists. Jacqui thank you, lucas. Griff . Griff well, as you well know, yesterday President Biden surprised everyone fielding questions in the white House Press Briefing room for the first time during his presidency. During that session he did not address criticisms about his administrations disaster response. David spunt if has more from the White House are where biden just spoke moments ago. Hey, david. Reporter hey, griff. He did speak on the south lawn. I asked him specifically his message to the Family Members of the hostages who have been in captivity by hamas since October 7th of last year ahead of that Oneyear Anniversary. He said that he would be talking to a bunch of them. He didnt say when or where, and then he sort off walked off, got on marine one. Hes heading to a wedding in indiana, with dr. Biden, the first lady. Then theyll head to Camp David. Over the weekend hes going to be briefed about, obviously, whats going on in israel. But many say more importantly in this country with those people devastated by those floods that you just saw in lucas report, people are still without power and still dont have the answers and the money they need, and theyre going to be struggling for a long time. Now, congress is out until after the election. Time is running out for the biden administration in the next four months or so to get the money to these people. Here is the President Yesterday on that. Were going to have to deal with unforeseen costs of what this hurricane is going to cost. Its going to cost a lot of money, and im going to probably have to ask the congress before we leave for more money to deal with some of those problems. But that remains to be seen. Reporter the president also touting the deal reached with those striking at our nations ports a few days ago a, highlighting the big problem we could have seen had we been in Hurricane Cleanup over several states and without those crucial imports coming through these ports. But we have to acknowledge the election is one month from today, november the 5th. The president was asked directly yesterday if the election will be peaceful. Here he is on that . Im confident itll be free and fair. I dont know whether itll be peaceful. Things that trump has said and the things that he said last Time Out when he didnt like the outcome of the election were very dangerous. Reporter so Camp David this weekend ahead of monday, October 7th, which marks one year since those hostages were taken. And its still not clear what the President S going to do to commemorate those that are still being held hostage. We assume therell be with something, we just dont know what it is. Wered asked and were told to stay tuned. Griff . Griff David Spunt live for us on the north lawn, thank you. Finish. Jacqui for more on the 2024 president ial race, lets bring in our political panel. With us today is Vice President of strategic communications at boaz public Affairs Group Pete and brown Steven Hyatt Shareholder al moder. Thank you both for being here on a saturday. Really appreciate your time. Great to be here. My pleasure. Jacqui all right. Want to start with this news that impacts harris. So, al, ill go to you. The International Association Of Firefighters decided that they were not going to endorse a candidate. That comes as a surprise from the union that was one of the first out of the gate the to endorse Joe Biden in 2020 to. An embarrassment for the Harris Campaign after a she mocked j. D. Vance, or her campaign mocked j. D. Vance when he was booed at their conference last month, and its all on the heels of the teamsters also deciding not to endorse a a candidate. If you Ec Trap late this out, i mean extrapolate this out, the decision from the Executive Board was a margin of 1. 2 where they decided not to endorse, but if you extrapolate that out to the broader electorate, that shows trouble for harris. Can she come come this when you see Working Class voters sliding away from the direct Democratic Party . I do think it reflects the current state of the race and, look, shes not doing quite as well with those rockerring Working Class voters. But thats to be expected because Joe Biden is probably the most prounion Candidate Weve ever had as a nominee, and harris is new to to these folk, and trump has a strong appeal with those same part of the electorate. I think though, however, the reason shes winning in all national polls and in several Battleground States is shes assembling a slightly different coalition than Joe Biden was working on a few months ago. Shes getting in young voters more energized. So while she may be ebbing in the union space, shes making up for it with other slivers of the electorate. Jacqui pete, whats your answer to why this is happening . I would, you know, expect that you see that trump does pretty well with Working Class voters, but this is a change that really hasnt a been talked about, i think, enough because its significant to see unions drifting away from democrats. Its an inconvenient truth for the duesloving, liberal leadership of the major unions across this country. They want to cram down topdown democratic advocacy with the Rank And File, and the Rank And File is saying, no, weve had enough. And an increasing number are turning to support Donald Trump. This is the political realignment of america happening before our very eyes, and this political reassignment could very well tip the scales 30 days from today. Jacqui i want to move to another topic. We had the Vice President ial debate this week, and once again we had Tim Walz in the spotlight for misrepresenting his sort of biographical narrative. He said that he was in Tiananmen Square for the democracy protests in 198, and as it returns out, he was in nebraska around that time. He was asked about it on the debate stage. This was his response. Play it. Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was can you explain the discrepancy . No. Alls i said was i got there this Summer And Misspeck on this, so i will just thats what a ive said misspoke. Jacqui so, pete, im going to go to you because, obviously, that explanation was lackluster. I asked democratic surrogates in the Spin Room if that was sufficient, and they told me its not going to matter because j. D. Vance really botched his answer about whether trump lost the election in 2020, and january 66th, and thats what people care about january 6th. They dont care about Tim Walz exaggerating the details of where he was, you know, 23 years ago. What do you say to that . Its one thing to forget whether you went to Olive Garden on tuesday or wednesday night, a whole other thing to embellish your Military Rank and to exaggerate where you were during an historic event such as the massacre Tiananmen Square. I know he say, oh, im just a knucklehead and i misspoke . If well, you dont get to misspeak with the chinese or with putin or even with the british Prime Minister. You tonight get a mulligan like that, and world leaders are not going to know if they can trust Tim Walz if he cant even get his own personal story straight. Jacqui but you didnt answer my question about how democrats are viewing this, because they look at, you know, whats coming out of the republican side, and they say we can i screw up quite a bit, and its not going to meampt. Ill give you one more chance at a answering that before i go to al. Well, its an unfortunate reality of the world that we live in now that some of these things kind of fly over voters heads. But it should matter and it should be brought up i didnt cannily so that Voters Cant miss it. Voters cant miss it. If its a day of the week, Donald Trump is embellishing something. J. D. Vance said even with his own words, even if i wasnt telling the truth about pets in springfield, ohio, im still going to say it because thats the messaging we need to put out there. Tim walz at least, at least said i misspoke. He owned it. Thats a world of difference from the two republican candidates. Jacqui all right. Moving on now, weve had the Vice President this week with campaigning with Liz Cheney. Significant when you consider sort of the realignment of some republicans who used to be in Trumps Camp now backing the Vice President s campaign. But i want to take you back to something she tweeted in 2020, Liz Cheney posted, Kamala Harris is a radical liberal who would raise taxes, take away guns and Health Insurance and explode the Size And Power of the federal government. She wants to create america in the image of whats happening on the streets of portland and seattle. We wont give her the chance. Pete, this the does this still stand . And how, how is it that you have someone who once said that now backing the Vice President s campaign the wreck the country . Because Liz Cheney disdains Donald Trump. If thats it.
