Washington tonight. The unserious woman. That's the focus of tonight's angle. Laura: democrats are in a box. They are trapped inside and it's a box of their own making. Slowly, but surely, kamala harris is being exposed for what she is. An empty pants suit. Even when obvious questions are asked, she won't answer them. You have changed your position on so many things. You were against fracking. Now you are for it. You have supported looser immigration policies. Now you are tightening them up. You were for medicare for all. Now you are not. So many of the people don't truly know what you believe or what you stand for. And i know you have heard that. In the last four years i have been vice president of the united states. And i have been traveling our country, and i have been listening to folks. And seeking what is possible in terms of common ground. I believe in building consensus. We are a diverse people. Geographically, regionally, in terms of where we are in our background, and what the american people do want is that we have leaders who can build consensus. Where we can figure out compromise and understand it's not a bad thing, as long as you don't compromise your values to find common sense solutions. And that has been my approach. Laura: how does that explain the flipflopping, again? after this interview americans will understand why that the campaign had to keep her so sheltered. But that strategy allowed donald trump to run the table and since the debated, he has been on the move almost without a break. He is the energizer bunny candidate, which is making the media and democrats very, very anxious. Got such big problem with men and there is under count of the vote misog nation in all of this. Black and white men, bringing problem, but also the business world. They don't think she is serious. They don't think she is a heavy wait they have tried to promote her as the true change candidate. People are exhausted and they are ready to turn the page and chart a new way forward. I believe in my soul and heart the american people are ready to turn the page. I think we all know it's time to turn the page. It's time to turn the page. [applause] well, folks, it's time to turn the page. Laura: but today on the view, kamala blew up her own narrative. Would have you done something differently than president biden during the past four years? there is not a thing that comes to mind. Laura: nothing that comes to mind. So much for being the change candidate. How does she not have a prepared answer for that question, by the way? kamala harris just wrote a devastating campaign commercial for the trump campaign. Inflation, afghanistan, the border, all a disaster under biden, and she can't think of anything she would do differently? has the woman not seen the right track, wrong track surveys that are out there? yeah. Not good. If you like the directions we are going on country, high grocery bills, take away your gas powered car. Healthcare costs, kamala is definitely your gal. She is another puppet of the failed establishment. She is biden without the experience a serious candidate doesn't avoid doing a real press conference and then sit down with a sex and dating podcaster. Can you tell the daddy gang when people tell you no when people look at you and doubt you what does that in you. I don't hear no. I urge all the daddy gang don't hear no. Governor who has been nothing but masterful in leading a state through crises and natural disasters. Here is kamala off the cuff. Nbc is reporting governor desantis is ignoring your calls on hurricane resources and help. How does that hurt the situation here? it's utterly irresponsible and it is selfish. And it is about political games manship. Instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first. To call her response dim witnessed is an insult to dim wits everywhere. She is not even smart enough to know not to pick a fight with someone who is, well, really smart and whose state is about to get hit by the worst hurricane in, what, a century? we have been on an emergency footing for two weeks straight. Around the clock, 24/7. She has never called on any of the storms we have had since she has been vice president until apparently now. Why all of a sudden is she trying to pair shoot in and inject herself when she has never shown any interest in the past? we know it's because of flicks. We know it's because of her campaign i have zero time to entertain these political games. Again, kamala's hurricane smear, it is just another fumble. A fumble by a player who never should have been put on the field in the first place. She is so bad that she makes biden seem presidential and suddenly engaged. Engaged enough to let her twist in the wind. Governor of florida has been cooperative, he says he has gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday, and i said you are doing a great job. All being done well. We thank you for it. I literally gave my personal phone number to call. Maybe joe biden is the one turning the page. Because even in his diminished state, he probably knows how unserious kamala is. A serious candidate knows how to answer predictable questions. Was democracy best served by president biden stepping down and basically handing you a nomination? you didn't have to go through a primary process. You didn't have to fight off other contenders, that's not really the system our system was intended to work. President biden made a decision that i think history is going to show is rare among leaders, which was to put country before self. And i am proud to have earned the support of the advisors majority of delegates and to have been elected the democratic nominee. But i think this truncated process is why people think or say they don't really know how are. Look, i have been in this race for 70 days. It is my responsibility to urine the vote. And i'm going to work to do that. Laura: but increasingly, it looks like she is going to be relying on celebrity surrogates to do the heavy lifting for her. I would really like it if the discourse could become kinder, and more effective. And i think that that will be the case with kamala harris and tim walz. Hi, i'm bruce springsteen, i'm supporting kamala harris for president and tim walz for vice president. And opposing donald trump and j. D. Vance. Laura: glory days have passed you by. And you know democrats are desperately hoping that taylor swift and obama somehow carry them to victory as well. Have you heard they are going to beg george w. Bush to endorse kamala harris? well, here's the cold hard truth. Harris is simply not capable of performing the type of function that we as americans associate with being the president of the united states. She doesn't understand the issues at the level of detail necessary to make effective decisions. She doesn't have the type of political support necessary to bend official washington to her will, she doesn't have the type of judgment needed to read the moods of foreign leaders, none of that. Now, the democrats already tried having a figure head president with biden. And it ended so badly that they fired him a few months ago. And, yet now they are doing the same thing. Only she is even less serious at a time when we face countless serious challenges. And for us, that would spell serious troubling and that's the angle. Joining us now is lara trump, cochair. Got a chance to hug you as you were coming out of the audience there. Let's talk about this for the moment. Because this really was part of their branding campaign. Kamala harris, the change agent, and then in the new new york times, siena poll, she does best donald trump as being the change candidate somehow among likely women likely voters by 2 points. What's going on there? well, i don't believe that poll at all. And by the way, don't take my word for it. Take joe biden's word for it. Because he is the one who told us the other day, laura that, kamala harris has been there side by side making all the decisions, of course, that we have seen in that white house. No one believes that there will be any sort of change with kamala harris. The people of this country are begging for donald trump to go back in that white house, you were in butler the other day. You saw the crowd in butler. That was the biggest crowd i have ever seen at a trump rally. I couldn't even see the end of it when i was standing up there on stage. Everywhere i go, people are desperate and they can't afford a kamala harris presidency. Look, we're talking about this person trying to get through an interview. Let alone do the actual job of being president of the united states. Our commanderinchief, the leader of the free world, no one buys that kamala harris has the capability to do that job. And polls like that, i think, are absolutely ridiculous, i get slipped beverage napkins every time i get on an airplane say would he go can't wait to vote for trump. Trump 2024 or people just coming up to me these days, lara, everywhere i go saying how excited they are to go out and vote early for donald trump. Laura: i want to turn to we obviously are seeing an horrific hurricane bearing down on florida now. But we still have north carolina and the other states affected by hurricane helene. Washington examiner is saying, laura, 1. 2 million registered voters across the 25 disaster counties in western north carolina as of sunday. Now, that total figure about 419,000 unaffiliated with party and made up the share of the region's voters. Republicans second highest share of the voters at almost 481,000. And then 294,000 for democrats. Trump won north carolina in 2020 by a mere 75,000 votes. Is this a problem, given the fact that we have a lot of voters who are without homes and, frankly without resources today in north carolina? yeah, well, listen, obviously, priority number one is making sure that everyone is safe, any rescue that needs to happen happens, and that we're thinking about the wellbeing of people before politics, that said, i get this question quite a bit can you imagine. This is my home state north carolina, cochair of the rnc we thought extensively about this. That's why today we sent out a memorandum to governor roy cooper and the north carolina general assembly asking them, giving them 10 different points in terms of things that we enact and put in place right now to ensure voter access we don't want people to have gone through horrific tragedy like a hurricane and really lost so much already to lose their ability to vote in this election. So, some of these things include allowing folks who have been is displaced from their voting county to vote in other counties or maybe turn absentee ballot in other counties or allowing some of these counties where this have this destruction to use temporary locations or new location for voters to access and by the way i want to let everyone know out there if you want to be part of a team, to help us get access to people in western north carolina, and likely coming up in florida, who have been displaced, their ability to vote, come join us donald j. Trump. Com/hurricane is a new site we have up right now, laura. People can volunteer to help us and make sure these people indeed have an opportunity to vote. It is absolutely vital in an election like this. We cannot leave a single vote on the line. That's why we are asking everybody to come join our team. Laura: lara, does this also mean that legal challenges could be in the offing filed by the trump campaign or others to ensure us a they are deal with all the other nightmares they are dealing with because of these natural disasters they are still able to vote? there are a lot of folks that came up to me in butler, were very worried about that. And i just want to ensure that that's happening. We have not been shy with the lawsuit, i think we are at 109 right now at the rnc. Yes, if needed we will take legal action. We hope we don't have to go that path. We hope they do the right thing and make sure that every person in north carolina and other affected states have the opportunity to vote. We are here to make sure they do certainly from the rnc side. Lara, great to see you from the rnc tonight. Thanks so much. Kamala is picking fights and playing politics. Yeah.

One of the most powerful storms to ever hit the state. Robert ray is on the ground in bradenton beach with more. Robert? yeah, laura, good evening and to everyone here, the sun has gone down and the darkness descending on bradenton beach. Meanwhile piles of sand and debris line all of the roads. This problem is all from hurricane helene, which came in 11 days ago. Five feet of storm surge and winds ravaging the tampa area and the barrier islands and then as we know, hurricane milton formed out in the gulf of mexico and is churning right now as a category 5, 165 mileperhour winds, and, laura, there was no time to get all of this debrief off of the streets. So what is going to happen? 24plus hours from now, when this storm makes its way into the land and we don't know exactly where the landfall is, but it is expected to decrease as far as the category, maybe a 3, maybe a 4, but that doesn't matter. It's the impacts. The swath of the storm is massive. And all of this debris that you see right now as the dark of night is falling on us, all of this will become projectiles, missiles from the wind, 120plus mileperhour wind gusts and get this: up to 10 to 15 feet of storm surge. To say illustrate this, come with me if you can and look at this beautiful little beach house. This is about 10 feet tall. The size of a basketball hoop, okay? 15 feet, 5 feet above that. That's just the surge. If you add the waves that come across, you have really the gulf of mexico coming completely into this area. Structures will be wiped off the face of the earth. All of this debris will be pushed and all of the wind field that comes in will kick around. That is why mandatory evacuations have been in play. All day here today there is no one on this barrier island. We have been talking to emergency officials and the national guard. They have gotten mostly everybody off and that is the case on so many of these islands in the tampa area. The problem is, is that storm surge is expected to hit fort myers beach which we know two years ago was rah advantaged by ian. Up to 12 feet of surge in that area will decimate that place trying to rebuild from what happened two years ago. Livelihoods will be uprooted yet again here on the gulf coast and this will be a catastrophe like no other. Potentially an historic hurricane that is churning out there right now. And people are ready. Emergency officials and the national guard historic amounts of national guard called on by governor ron desantis. We are awaiting here in the dark of night. Tomorrow, a different story. We won't be here. We will die if we stay. Laura? laura: robert, this is just unbelievable. It's unreal and it's heart breaking. Thank you very much for that report. Joining me now, jeanette nunez, lt. Governor of florida. Madam lt. Governor the tampa mayor says if you choose to stay as the reporter just indicated you will die. Is that your message as well tonight and do you have what you need from fema and the bidenharris administration? absolutely, laura, the governor has been saying this for the last couple of days. He has been stressing the importance of evacuating. We understand this is going to be a catastrophic storm. The storm surge as was mentioned up to 15 feet potentially. Torrential rain. Flooding, the winds all of that creates tremendous risk. We are encouraging people to do that now. They cannot wait around until tomorrow when the storm starts to set in and the wind starts to pick up. It's too dangerous for them to leave at that point. Emergency personnel can't go out and rescue you. We urge people if you are still in that evacuation zone, please leave now. We understand that the shortage of gasoline is now becoming a real thing. 15% and growing, the number of gas stations that are out of fuel tonight, now at 17%. What can be done about that or does that just have to wait until, you know, after the wrath of this latest hurricane hits florida? up until today, we had been amassing fuel, making sure we can get as much fuel as we could into our ports. Then distribute that fuel. We had florida highway patrol accompanying the fuel tankers to get into the impacted areas, so we know that this is going to be an ongoing issue as people continue to trickle out and evacuate. But we are also encouraging people to recognize you don't have to travel hundreds of miles or leave the state or potentially even leave your county. Number of shelters in every single county that are open and available. We have partnership with uber. They will transport you for free. Using the code milton relief and so there are many ways for you to get to shelter. And so gasoline should not be an impediment at this point. We want to continue to encourage people. Find a way to leave. Make sure you are heeding those orders. Laura: there was something of a dustup between your governor and kamala harris. Although your governor and joe biden seem to be having very productive conversations and biden has offered every you know, bit of help that florida wants from the federal government. But the two of them seem to be going b back and forth and essentially desantis pushed back against kamala harris' complaint saying, look, this is not about you we are in emergency footing and have been in such state for weeks now your reaction to that given the severity of what your people are facing? new role as hurricane helper. Leave the hurricane preparedness efforts to someone though knows what he is doing. Governor desantis has been working around the clock for the past two weeks. First with hurricane helene and then with the recovery and now preparing for milton. He has gotten everything he needs from the president and from the fema administrator who are the relevant players in this process. And so we don't have time for nonsense and shame on kamala harris for trying to inject herself into a process she has nothing to do with. Laura: well, lt. Governor, we are praying for you everyone in florida tonight certain whether i hope everyone is evacuated or has been evacuated by now. Thank you so much and we will put up obviously continue to put up red cross for people to be able to donate to. All right. Well, we know what's happening here on a political level. The biden and harris administration do not want a repeat of what to the people on the ground believe was a disastrous handling of that especially that first week after hurricane helene hit. But, unfortunate
