From washington tonight. Breaking news from a moment ago a Cochise CountyArizona Deputy is lucky to be alive tonight after getting seriously injured while chasing an illegal Alien Crossing into the country. The deputy was flown by helicopter to tucson Trauma Center where is he receiving treatment for very serious injuries. We will have more details in moments. But, first, last night, Newt Gingrich said something on this show that had the internet buzzing for the last 24 hours. I think trump will be the nominee and the question now for everybody is do you want to see joe biden reelected . Or do you want to help donald trump . Theres no middle ground here, i dont think. Laura now, beginning grism is saying what most are thinking. Now, look at the polling. The Real Clear Politics Average has trump at 57. 6 . No one is coming close. Even desantis, who is in second, has barely cracked the double digits. Now, trump and the voters dont see right now any of these candidates as real threats. But, are any of them potential Running Mates . Were competing with the job candidates. They are all running for a job. No, they are all job candidates. They want to be they will do anything. Secretary of something. They even say v. P. I dont know, does anybody see any v. P. In the group . I dont think so. Laura oh, lets be gracious. Look, he says that now when he is up at a speech. But, may not be what he is thinking six months from now. Its friday, so lets break down the pros and cons. Hypothetical some potential v. P. Picks. Joining me now to do that byron york. Chief Political Correspondent for the examiner. Fox news contributor and Horace Cooper author and legal commentator. Byron, lets start with you. Who is a really good pick right now. New to pick one v. P. For trump, who would it be. If i picked one, i would probably pick Sarah Huckabee sanders. She is a governor of arkansas. A Trump White House veteran. No other governmental experience than that but actually really good choice for president trump. Laura okay. Horace, that is interesting Sarah Saunders obviously very young knows the president very well. He know he respects her greatly. What are your thoughts. Well, i actually think youngkin would be a Better Running mate if you pick up virginia and the survey show with him on the ticket you are very likely to carry virginia that would mean you wouldnt need to worry about a state like wisconsin in terms of electoral votes. You must figure out a way to grow the support on election day and thats one way to do it. All right. Well, you have three picks up there. We will get to each one. Byron, one of horaces choices, you saw up on the screen, was nikki haley who was very well respected governor of south carolina. Of course, u. N. Ambassador and they had a very good working relationship, but she comes from a different side of the philosophy in the Republican Party today no doubt. But, what about her . Well, as you said, she is one of my picks, too. As you said. The pros are she is very, very experienced both in domestic governing in policy and in international affairs, so thats a big deal. The con, of course, she is running against trump. And criticizing trump. But she hasnt been that Super Critical of trump and politicians can get over that sort of thing and, besides, i think trump kind of likes it when someone who has been very critical of him has to come around and maybe kiss the ring and be work for him. So, yes. She is from a different wing of the Republican Party, but they are out there, too. And they do vote. And giving them a reason to vote for donald trump against they might not vote for otherwise is not a terrible idea. Laura so you are saying it mollifies some of the concerns of the establishment types who are still very worried about president trumps electability. I understand that. Lets move on to some Cabinet Picks. Horace, the border is so important. Obviously needs someone who really know what is they are doing. And is credible on border enforcement. Who might trump choose for that . Well, i suggested that, perhaps, abbott might be a great pick for homeland security. Someone who is actually demonstrated some leadership in this particular area and someone who people trust would be serious about handling the duty. And someone who has had some leadership experience. He has been a governor, elected several times in the state of texas. Laura well, byron, i mean, governor of one of the most important economies in the world to Dhs Secretary, eh, yes, no . Laura seems to me like a demotion. He would be fantastic. I agree with horace, no doubt about it. Would that be something he would do . Because for a long time people thought he had president ial ambition. Maybe obviously not this time but maybe down the road. Absolutely. I sort of half expected him to run this time. But he did not do that. You know, another possibility for dhs, trump talks about he talks a lot about how well the border was working while he was president. Well, why not go back to the last Dhs SecretaryKen Cuccinelli and have him come back . I think a lot of what trump is going to want to do is actually restore the policies that he had put in place prior to joe biden becoming president and the same people could do it. Laura horace, other Cabinet Secretaries that are obviously very important would be treasury, commerce, Secretary Of State, cia director. I mean, i know this is friday, so we are playing these games. But it is interesting, and it may be something that, again, mollifies the concerns of some independents who maybe just say im not going to vote this time or others who, im not sure he did that with the Supreme Court picks, in other words, he put out a list which i thought was brilliant in 2016 who he would put on the court. Why not put out a potential list of Cabinet Picks . Okay. So, first thing let me say i think thats one of the benefits that someone like nikki haley might bring, both as either Secretary Of State nominee or as a running mate because places like michigan, places like arizona, places like georgia have a suburban women vote that you might want to reach out to. Broadly speaking, there would be some substantial value to just listing some names of some people that we could trust. There were some hiccups to put it mildly, when the first round of Cabinet Officers were named during the trump administration. I think in the end we ended up getting a lot of good people in. But it might be a great idea like with a Supreme Court. Lets find out in advance who we are thinking about picking and let those people get vetted. Laura byron, i think the first 100 days, a lot of wasted energy in the first 100 days of trumps term. We can all say that now. Still, you know, working on the, you know, the band, the muslim ban that wasnt a muslim ban. Mediate by the way is reporting that r. F. K. Jr. Is planning to run as independent, is he going to make that announcement in october 9th in pennsylvania. Byron, how might this effect the race Going Forward . Is it good for someone like trump . Bad for biden . Or could there be some other contingency developed with that . Wasnt going to be any debates or acknowledgment there is a contest going on in the Democratic Party and indeed robert f. Kennedy jr. Has never surged and hit above 20 . A lot of times is he down around 14 or. So he does represent people who might be democrats who dont want to vote for joe biden it. Would seem to me that if he announced an independent run, that could be very damaging because there are those democrats. We know they are there. They dont want joe biden. Maybe they are not focused exactly on who they want. But, any credible choice they would take. Laura all right. Horace, i know i heard you cough there now im worried about you. I mean, somethings going around but im glad you are still there horace, i had a coughing fit the other night so im just empathizing with you on the air. Cornel west still out, there is he driving them absolutely nuts because he is just like look, i represent the real liberal progressive wing of this party. You guys are kind of half baked in that category. Might he still be a problem for this biden reelection bid . Well, first, let me say that byron york is connect. The chickens have come home to roost. This unfair effort to prevent a dynamic race among democrats is harming the support of joe biden. It would be better to defeat your opponents fair and square. Now, when you talk about Third Party Candidates, you start to see people that are just going to peel off. This election is probably going to be pretty tight. The pulling numbers show numbers on the left that go with someone other than joe biden cripple his opportunities. Look at the Prediction Polls where people are betting. For the first time in this election cycle, we are seeing something that we didnt see last time. And that is at no point did the prediction betting polls show that trump was likely to prevail in 2020. They are already showing that trump is likely to. The entrance of other Third Party Candidates is likely to exacerbate that phenomena. Laura byron, really quickly, do you agree with some who said that trump, including yours truly, by the way, some said for trump to really win he has got to get to like 55 , given how the democrats managed to, you know, creatively, you know, find votes, they are really good at mailin ballots but that this has to be bigger than a squeaker to have the real confidence that trump can win this. Listen, if he manages to get through the mine field of his trials next year and he wins the republican nomination, he is still going to have incredibly difficult time winning a general election. There are large percentages of americans who say they will not vote for donald trump. Important lesson for the 2022 can midterms that a lot of voters who said that the economy wasnt very good. It wasnt helping them. They would normally vote against the Democratic Party but they voted for democrats because the democrats had done such a good job convincing them of the threat of maga. That would be multiplied in a 2024 bidentrump rematch. Laura all right. Byron, horace, great to see both of you. Thanks so much. If, in fact, Dianne Feinstein were to retire, will you nominate an africanamerican woman to restore the seat that schars no longer in the United States senate. We have multiple names in mind and the answer is yes. Laura yeah, march in 2021 newsom admitted that he would discriminate based on race were he toe choose feinsteins successor. And now with the senators passing at age 90, will democrats plan b, newsom, keep his racebased pledge . Joining me now is larry larry elder, republican president ial candidate. Former california gubernatorial candidate. Larry, democrats would answer charges of reversed racism which are being lodged here by claiming there is no such thing first of all as reverse racism. And they would claim that by choosing a black woman, the principle of equity that they believe in so greatly is being advanced, larry On A Friday Night, tell us about this equity pledge and promise they have. Well, laura, thank you for having me. As i outlined in my book thats coming out in november called as goes california. This is a race and gender guy in a race and gender party. Remember after Bernie Sanders won the nevada caucuses and for one brief shiny moment he was the partys frontrunner in 2020. And then james clyburn, the longtime leader in south carolina, endorsed joe biden. Exacting a promise if joe biden became president , his first nominee would be, what . A black female. Joe bidens running mate black female. As you pointed out gavin newsom said in the event that Dianne FeinsteinCannot Finish her term he would appoint a black female. Now if he reneged on his promise he is in deep, deep voodoo. Added a caveat not a black female currently running. That means excludes barbara. Constantly checking a box but then adding an interim to it. She had no problem with the box. She had a problem she was not the person who is going to be the box thats being checked. And by the way, if this were Fantasy Football, laura, the ideal scenario is that gavin newsom would appoint Kamala Harris if Kamala Harris would agree to be appointed and then gavin newsom would hopefully be swapped out for him v. P. And if joe biden cannot fog up a mirror, it is then going to be gavin newsom. Thats his Fantasy Football pick. But the problem with that scenario is Kamala Harris. She wants to be president. Laura wait a second. Speaking of harris. Im so glad you brought her up. She is really upset over the attacks that have been growing on the diversity, equity, inclusion stuff, larry. And this is what she says. I look at these attempts to attack dei, diversity, equity and inclusion, they are trying to do the same thing they did with woke. They are trying to turn it against the people who understand exactly why it is important to focus on and be alert and awake to what is happening. Laura i dont know what any of that means. But she kind of does like weird Hand Gestures and it doesnt actually amplify or explain what she is saying, larry. But, perhaps, can you interpret for me. Well, the party is confused. Cacall recall the candidate bark obama 2004, Coming Out Speech was in boston, i was there. There is no blue america. There is no red america. There is no black america. There is no white america. There is just one america. United states of america. Then a few months ago he was defending the use of Identity Politics and said he doesnt understand why its under attack. This is the race and gender party. Except it only applies by the way on their side. When i was running for governor, new york times, big long article about larry elder running for a governor never mentioned that i was black. Never mentioned i would be the first black governor and im fine with that but, on the same day, same newspaper, mentioned that kathy hochul was the first female governor of new york. When you have an r. At the end of your name it doesnt matter if you are the first. If you have a d, its the only thing that really truly matters. Laura you dont have the right views. Change your entire political persuasion and recognize you for who you really are larry, thank you. Great to see you. If you are not buying the lefts Equity Argument to justify blatant employment. Wait until you hear this next story. The democrats message to criminals just leaf us alone. Having more trees and more access to green space is critical it for our communities. Inflation reduction act brought this program 1. 5 billion. And this 1. 5 billion is historic. Its not just historic, its epic. Laura this is im being punched On A Friday Night by my producers, this cannot be true. It is . The u. S. Forest service has selected 385 access to trees. And green spaces. Associated with improved Health Outcomes and reduce crime. One organization, American Forest was awarded 50 million for its tree equity catalyst fund. And they have made the same argument that strategically planted vegetation in under privileged communities may actually reduce crime. Defund the police, fund the forest. Yeah. Makes a lot of sense. All right, elon musk is getting a lot of attention for his trip to the border. But theres one thing he said that i really dont agree with im going to explain it. Plus, new details on the border agent seriously injured while chasing that illegal alien. Texas governor dan patrick will react to that and a lot more after this. They slept on me for 15 years. Things i collected, pollen, dust, dander. All that time they could have protected me with an allerease mattress protector. It wouldve been soft and blocked 99. 9 of dust, dirt, and allergens. Allerease for a clean, healthy nights sleep. Every day, businesses everywhere are asking is it possible . With comcast business. It is. Is it possible to help keep our Online Platform safe from cyberthreats . Absolutely. Can we provide health care virtually anywhere . We can help with that. Is it possible to use predictive monitoring to address Operations Issues . We can help with that, too. With the advanced connectivity and intelligence of global secure networking from comcast business. Its not just possible. Its happening. Laura this is a fox news alert. A Cochise CountyArizona Deputy is really, really lucky to be alive tonight after being really severely injured after chasing illegal alien. According to sheriff mark dabbles one of his deputy was deploying spikes during his pursuit and fell 15 feet. Okay. Well, including a Rescue Efforts were involved and applied. The deputy was then flown by authority a tucson Trauma
