Ainsley good morning, it is 6 00 a. M. On the east coast. It is tuesday, october 8th, and this is fox friends. With exactly four weeks until election day, Kamala Harris struggles to answer basic questions about our border security. The policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem, okay . But the numbers did quadruple. Meanwhile white House Press Secretary Karine Jeanpierre walked out of the Briefing Room after being pressed by Peter Doocy on fema funds. Peter if he has got money in people lebanon right now without congress having to come back what does it say about about his values. Your whole premise of the question is misinformation, sir. Unbelievable. Im back after reporting from a storm ravaged North Carolina with an exclusive look of Helenes Damage from the sky. Brian later we hear from Country Music Superstar Luke Colmes and Eric Church hurricane relief concert. Fox friends starts right now. And we do start, obviously, with a fox weather alert. Millions across a storm they havent seen in perhaps 100 years. Ainsley right now Hurricane Milton is an extremely dangerous cat 4 and it could be pretty strong, stronger than that when it hits tampa, the worst storm in a century they are saying. This incredible footage taken from the international Space Station shows the size of the eye wall. Brian the taupe area counties under mandatory evacuation Orders Governor desantis suspended tolls in central and West Florida to help get out. Lawrence unbelievable. Lets get to janice dean for fox weather forecast. Janice looking like the worst Case Scenario for the Tampa Bay Area. Category 4 storm. I dont want you to pay attention to the deargts, okay . Because the storm, even though its weakening a little bit. It could bump up to a category 45. The problem is it is expanding. As the storage weakens a little bit. It gets bigger, larger, and thats going to effect not only sturgeon, but effect more of the Po Storm Surge But Effect mor. We are expecting it to bump up to a Category 5 again. Regardless of the category, as it approaches the be florida ie tampa, we could be talking about record Storm Surge and as steve mentioned a storm they have not seen in a century. This is the worst fears coming to light in the Tampa Bay Area as we have got a bullseye right now. So heres the Steering Conditions right now. We have the Je Jet stream thats downward picking storm up. Also help to weaken it a little bit. As it weakens it expands winfield if you think about Hurricane Katrina almost 20 years ago, it was a Category 5. Made landfall on the coast of louisiana, mississippi as a category 3. But with a 30foot Storm Surge. Storm surge is the killer and when you have a 15foot Storm Surge along this vulnerable coast line, that is unsurvivable. I know we have used that word a lot. That is exactly what is happening right now. 10 to 15foot Storm Surge puts everything here under water. And thats why we have one of the largest evacuations, as well as a 10foot Storm Surge in fort myers. Helene didnt even make a direct impact and we had catastrophic damage. This is just, you know, this is just salt in the wound for this area of the West Coast of florida. There is no other way to put it. This is catastrophic. It will be lifethreatening and if you dont get out when you are told to, youre risking your life and Familys Life as well. Back to you. Steve janice the mayor of Tampa Bay Caster said if you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you are going to die. She did not mince words. You are going to die. Janice this is a once in a lifetime storm. We have covered a lot of them. You think of sandy. You think of katrina. You think of all of these Category 5 storms. There havent been many of them but because of wall of water that is coming on the most vulnerable city across the u. S. Even more vulnerable than parts of the louisiana coast line, this is going to be a catastrophic event, no doubt. Ainsley janice we have been talking about the family we know lives in tampa she got in the car three dogs and two kids wrote me got there at 4 45 in the morning. Took her 10 hours to get there just to get out of the Tampa Area took about hour and a half, two hours. Definitely worth it. Her husband decided to stay with the house. Hoping is he going to be okay. Steve it is, indeed. Lawrence going to have governor Ron Desantis coming up later in the show to give his response to what folks need to do. Brian Media Blitz from the Harris Campaign is continuing. She sat down with the big podcast on sunday. Going to be with Stephen Colbert this afternoon. Taped the 60 Minutes Interview i believe a couple of days ago. At which time it was contentious. It was direct. There were followup questions. And in many ways she struggled to answer them and one is to deflect to donald trump. Here she is trying to defend her Border Policies which dont really exist. They are in theory. Watch. There was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your administration. As a matter of fact, arrivals quadruple from the last year of President Trump. Was it a mistake to loosen the Immigration Policies as much as you did . Its a longunderstandingstam and solutions are at hand. From Day One literally, we have been Offering Solutions. What i was asking was, was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place . I think the policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem, okay . But the numbers did quadruple under your watch. The numbers today, because of what we have done, we have cut the flow of illegal immigration by half. Should you have done that. Fentanyl by half. We need congress to be able to act to actually fix the problem. Steve once again, she made congress the boogie man. We have heard a lot of that from this particular administration. Going, in she obviously had one Talking Point per issue. And then when Bill Whitaker, who did a very good job, he would ask a follow up. Well, you know, you didnt really answer that she would go back and rephrase what she said the first time. And when he would ask a follow up to the follow up. She would essentially say the same thing as well. She did not stray from her Talking Points, and she tried to stay on track and thats kind of what we got. We didnt hear anything really new. Ainsley she said from Day One we have been Offering Solutions when it comes to the border. What are her solutions . Are these solutions or for americans or foreillegals . She stopped the trump wall. They ended remain in mexico. Allowed venezuelan immigrants to stay in the u. S. Only to begin deporting them again. Now venezuela doesnt want them and take them back. Create a controversial Migrant Parole programs. Only to find reports of massive fraud. She wanted to decriminalize illegal immigration. Offered healthcare to illegals, food, education on your dime. These are solutions for the immigrants not for you, the american people. Lawrence the Talking Point just doesnt hold water. I mean, everyone knows what happens on Day One of the biden administration. They publicized. They are prout of It Led to the 8. 3 million people coming across the border. Every time they go to the bipartisan deal. I always wonder do you want to forget the first three years before you even proposed that legislation . Does that erase all of the crossing, all of the drugs coming across the border . Ofor the first time we have got an reporter had an interview follow up after every single Talking Point and she wasnt ready for it. She was not yesterday for bills questioning there. I think he did great job. Brian he did. I also think there is a few things going on just wish would have hit with the Numbers Gain of 240 which you just showed. Did say quadrupled. Two things leans on in 2021 Joe Biden proposed immigration reform. At which there was a pathway to citizenship. There was no wall being built. It wasnt possible. And, when you have a program like the rescue plan, like the inflation reduction act. Like an Infrastructure Deal Talk about all those three things and he got them passed. He never talked about this. He never promoted it. It was never brought up in his senate and his house. Bill whitaker could have said you brought it up in 2021. You had the House And Senate and big win over donald trump. Donald trump was down in the polls. Why. Lawrence why didnt you bass it then . Brian who do you blame your senate or your house or both of them . Steve ultimately, what she did was as we had said she said one thing repeatedly over and over. We have seen that A Million times. To his credit. Bill whitaker did ask for some specifics, because she has painted a very broad rosy picture of what Kamala Harris administration would look like. But there arent any details. And in particular, she hasnt really for the most Part And Yesterday when she did the interview she didnt reveal any new Desk Policy proposals or share how to pay for the stuff that she has proposed. And that is what Bill Whitaker went after. How exactly are you going to pay for this . And she said something and we are going to play the exchange. Will she said something she has said before. That is we are essentially going to tax the richest people in the country and corporations and stuff like that. But he says, essentially, what if that does not pass . Because this is a real world. If you missed it on 60 minutes Last Night. Heres that exchange. My plan, bill, if you dont mind, my plan is about saying that when you invest in small businesses, you invest in the middle class, and you strengthen americas economy. Small businesses are part of the backbone of americas economy. Pardon me madam Vice President , the question was how are you going to pay for it . Well, one of the things im going to make sure that the richest among us, who can afford it, pay their fair share in taxes. It is not right that teachers, and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher Tax Rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations and i plan on making that fair. But were dealing with the real world here. But the real world includes. How are you going to get this through congress . You know, when you talk quietly with a lot of folks in congress, they know exactly what im talking about, because their constituents know exactly what im talking about. Let me tell you something, im a devout public servant. You know that im also a capitalist. And i know the limitations of government. Lawrence will Policy Proposals speak capitalism. If Anything Crony Capital Isms want to make sure the illegals are in the workforce. Goes to a point i made previously. She doesnt understand the legislative process. And so when you have bill saying look, you have all these great ideas, but what congress is going to pass this . She just skips on to say well in private conversations they agree with me. Ainsley votes like a socialist first of all. That idea is to take money from the rich and distribute it to everyone else so that everyone makes equal amount so that its fair. Kept using the word fair. And then she talks about small businesses and she is going to help them. She wants to raise the corporate tax to 28 . Thats not going to help the small business. Lawrence thats not capitalism. Ainsley only going to pass that onto the american people if they own a bakery. Pay 28 versus 21 or 15 under donald trump. They will pass that cost onto the customer. Brian couple of things tell you if you listen on radio this is the economy under President Biden. Household savings dropped 372 Billion. Consumer debt saw a 3. 15 trillion increase. Mortgage rates doubled and Inflation Rate hit a peak of 9. 1. Even though actually increasing slower, it never came off the 9. 1. Which means almost everything we are buying is 25 more. Heres the other thing. I was talking to Stuart Varney in the elevator. Taxing the rich. Paying over 25 in Taxes State and local. Talking about investment income. Warren buffet says my secretary pays more percentage. When he goes to sell he will pay that if you want to start taxing investment income, unrealized gains. I would love Bill Whitaker do you realize cutting Edge Proposal of taxing unrealized gains would do and explain it. Probably the first time she has ever heard it. Someone told her to write this down and proposed it two weeks into when she finally gave out her Policy Proposals. Other thing is Tax Incentives built into the system for those people upper 1 which by the way almost our billionaires are first generation billionaires which means they earned it the rest of the way. They are not sitting on their estates. You want them to invest in other companies, and other businesses so other people can get jobs and work their way up, Real Estate Agents being age to rent buildings and floors to the other companies as they begin to expand and give Tax Incentives to do that. You dont vilify those people. You salute those people. She has no answers to anything. The other overwhelming answer is why havent you done it already . And if her answer is Joe Biden doesnt listen to me. Thats a story. Lawrence thats another one. Steve today is tuesday. It is exactly four weeks before the election. And there brand new New York times poll came out an hour and 14 minutes ago. And Kamala Harris has a slim lead and, once again, we have been talking about the polls. They are neck and neck. She suspect by 3. They were tied in mid september, it is now 4946. That is why we are seeing more of her and we have been talking a little bit about how she is trying to get ahead with the storms and stuff like that. Thats one of the reasons why over the weekend she was out, the administration was promoting the fact that this administration has sent 157 Million to lebanon. Thats one thing but it comes at the same time that there are tens of thousands of americans struggle and the federal government doesnt have any money for them. Peter doocy asked some very basic questions about how lop sided that is let me get this straight. We have money for lebanon and dont have money for people in North Carolina . If you missed it, here is this extraordinary interchange. And on this issue of funding, the administration has money to send to lebanon without congress coming back. But congress does have to come back to approve money to send to people in North Carolina. Do i have that right . Heres what im going to be very clear about the president and Vice President has had a robust whole of Government Response to this, hundreds of millions of dollars. I said it at the top more than 200 million. But, instead, people want to do disinformation, misinformation, which is dangerous. Peter but, President Biden responded saying show your budget and i will tell you what you value. If he has got money for people
