FOXNEWS Fox News Democracy 2024 October 6, 2024

Claudia you are looking live at the butler, pennsylvania fairgrounds where a massive crowd is gathered to hear Donald Trump in the same location where an attempt on his life was made at a july rally. He says the rally delivers another message that he will fight for america and never back down. As we head into the Home Stretch before Election Day, this is democracy 2024 Special Coverage. We are waiting Donald Trumps returned to the podium in the small town of butler three months since that Assassination Attempt. We will take you there when he goes live. Republican congressman Jody Arrington and Byron York are standing by. We take you to butler, pennsylvania where a long list of special guests are about to join Donald Trump including Elon Musk who endorsed trump shortly after the first Assassination Attempt and is expected to deliver remarks today. Also in attendance is trumps running mate j. D. Vance who finished speaking a few minutes ago and the family of Cory Comparetory who was killed trying to shield his wife and kids from gunfire during the July 13th shooting. Alexis mcadams was there that day and shes live now. Reporter it was 12 weeks ago to the day that i was here on this Media Stage talking to you when the former president was behind us in butler, pennsylvania giving those remarks. He was talking about immigration when we heard what sounded like firecrackers thrown is the crowd, we saw him go down behind that Podium And Werent sure if he was going to come Back Up. More security in place, snipers on the roof and a massive crowd. This time the former president is behind bulletproof glass, as he said his job is not done yet in butler, pennsylvania. What are you expecting him to say on that Stage Today . Extraordinaire restore confidence that may have been lost because of what happened last time, expecting him to say things that will unite everybody at least at this rally. Anybody with Common Sense that sees the state of our economy now and what we had four years ago is a shoe in. To me, no Way Trump Cant win. Reporter if theres one thing i have covered a lot, its a lot of trump rallies. This one in pennsylvania feels different. There is still excitement in the crowd and the crowd is massive, bigger than it was 12 weeks ago but there is also a solemn mood here because theres a memorial mixed in for Cory Comparetory who lost his life in the last rally. You can hear the shots ringing out, he fell to the ground after a bullet grazed his ear. Feels like yesterday, people are wondering how this all unfolded, how was a gunman able to climb onto a nearby roof and open fire to the crowd. Take a look, live look at the memorial growing in the stands. This is what it is all about, its about cory, you see his suit, he was a Volunteer Firefighter for buffalo. He shielded his own family with his body, his wife and his daughter in the crowd, he just came that day to be part of the rally and lost his life. He will be honored tonight. Nobody should come to a political Gathering And Fear about losing their life. On a personal level it is an unimaginable tragedy to have something like that happen. Its impossible for me to pretend i might know what they are feeling. Reporter hard to put yourself in the issues of the Family Members. The former president was able to meet and talk with Corys Family. We expect a hear from them today at this rally. What this is about is bringing america together. We will see how the mood playS Out. If you can believe it, 30 days from the president ial election another stop for Donald Trump in the Battleground State of pennsylvania. Shannon it seems so much as happened in this campaign and in the world since we were last doing this on a saturday night, July 13th when Donald Trump got shot. I see from people you talked to there are return folks, butler rally, an event in july. Do you get a sense talking to the crowd that people who were there that day who were brave enough, ardent enough of that most are back with this crowd that seems bigger than it was that day . When i ask people, they think about their own Safety But Everybody i asked do you think twice about coming back to butler, standing in the same field where you saw the former president nearly assassinated they say i knew i had to be here as soon as Donald Trump announced he was returning to butler i had to be their too. The people in the crowd who were sitting in front of the former president didnt get up and run out. They sat and waited until the Secret Service moved in. There was a mood of more calm than i would have expected. To make a triumphant return in pennsylvania. Shannon i remember thinking that there were so many people who sat still, who waited, who did not rush out of their. Office asked whether we would have reacted that way but i remember how stunning it was the crowd had that kind of reaction. We know that security is different from wherever the former president is traveling. Do you get a sense of a different Security Posture . Last time, there were a lot of volunteers helping out that day telling people where to go and where to park and which entrances to take. That is no longer the case at any of these rallies including butler, pennsylvania, state, local, federal authorities on the ground, and also nearby Water Tower seems to be covered this time. To say the Security Perimeter has changed is an understatement. Hard to get as a Media Representative to get off the stage and get into the crowd because they havent blocked off. This is what it should have been like 12 weeks ago. They havent blocked down today. Shannon we will go back life when he takes the stage. Thanks so much. For the first time ever President Biden took questions in the white House Briefing Room friday but he didnt talk about growing concerns about his admin a straight ans disaster response. Hello, david. Reporter the white House Briefing Room used to be franklin roosevelts swimming pool, now he made the surprise appearance yesterday, hes on his way to Camp David for the weekend where he will be getting briefings about israel at whats going on in this country with the Hurricane Cleanup which has devastated millions in the southern united states. I asked him a question on the South Line as he was leaving what he wanted to say to the families of those held hostage since October 7th. Watch. What is your message to the families of the hostages ahead of monday October 7th . President biden i will be talking about them. Reporter he will be talking to a bunch of them. He didnt say what he would do to commemorate specifically. Hes also dealing with the Hurricane Cleanup in several southern states, devastating circumstances. It will take years to get back to normal in some cases. Yesterday he made his way to the briefing room, for the first time as president to answer questions and address the tragedy from helene and what its going to cost. President biden we have to deal with unforeseen cost of this hurricane. Its going to cost a lot of money. Probably have to ask congress before we leave, for more money to do some of that. That remains to be seen. Reporter the president touted to deal with those striking the ports, we could have run into a real problem had we had the Port Strike and the Hurricane Cleanup at once. We are one month away from the president ial election. Thats not lost on President Biden. Hes not even four months left in office yet a lot of work to get done. Relating President Biden to Donald Trump, made sure the security for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, secret Service Protection would be the same after July 13th and in congress, that will go to President Bidens desk that he indicated he would sign. Shannon we will check back in, thank you. Mounting frustration in Hurricane Helene Disaster zones. These communities are devastated. They are grappling with what many of them say is a slow federal response under the Biden Harris Administration and while more american this are begging for help and underfunded fema is reportedly spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the migrant crisis. They say those are not from the same batch of funding. Joining us Texas Congressman Jody Arrington. I want to play something from the asheville mayor talking about that situation of devastation and that is just one of many cities and towns in the region. There are places that are isolated, there are washouts, still only accessible by helicopter, needed to bring resources in and we have fema on the ground, a State Effort and able to airlift those resources into those communities and in the center of the city we are able to stand up several sites for people to receive those just lifesustaining support that we need right now. Shannon hundred are missing, we dont know their situation. What are your thoughts . Our hearts and prayers are with our fellow americans. Unfortunately i think the resources are not with our americans right now as we know only 45 Million has been spent. We authorized 20 Billion in temporary funding of the government. Miss harris said she would give 700 in cash to those folks who may need it. Meanwhile, this administration is spending thousands of dollars per illegal immigrant, 2700 just for healthcare, 1300 per illegal immigrant on welfare, Numbers Usa says its 9000 per illegal immigrant being spent by this administration. Taken together thats more than we spend on all our Militarys Retirement benefits and individually it is more than we spend for the most vulnerable american on medicaid. This is more of the same. And refocused our whole of government on cleaning up the mess instead of serving the needs of The American people. Shannon the Government Response is these are different buckets of funding, theyve been out located. What they are spending on one thing which may be migrants coming into the country would take away from what they can spend on helene and there are calls from fema that they will need more money to get through hurricane season. Theres another Storm Building in the Gulf Coast off of florida. Ive gotten the speaker with me on Fox News sunday. He so far said he wont call you back for funding but do you think congress needs to come back before Election Day off the Campaign Trail and authorize more money . We dont need to authorize more money. If we did i think we would be there for our fellow citizens. What we need to do is we need to prioritize The American people, use the 20 Billion authorized and if need be, this president with the stroke of a pen provided obamacare services to people are here illegally to the tune of 9 billion, the cbo this past week showed this administration has spent 16 Billion in medicaid and the list is long. Your viewers know that with the stroke of a pen the president also bailed out student loans the tune of half 1 Trillion or more. The list is too long to talk about the mismanagement, waste and all the ways this administration has prioritized again their progressive agenda and the cleanup of their selfinflicted disaster instead of The American people. The money is there. I think theres tremendous incompetence and it starts at the top. You already have the ceo of our country admittedly by the Democrat Party not capable to do the job. Kamala harris is the number two, she was given two assignments, one was the broadband, 40 Billion worth and not a single person is on the internet as a result and she was the borders are and we are all living with that disaster throughout the country. It is a combination of a record of failure, absolute Cluster Bomb of incompetence coupled with a radical agenda that has created a firestorm not just at the border but with inflation and crime and they dont know where to start. They dont know which way is up or down. Theyve overwhelmed and inundated themselves and it starts at the top. We need new leadership. Jacqui 18 shannon The American people get to decide how they feel about this administration, we will see what they do in november but in a lot of states they are already Well underway into a voting. Thank you for your time. Appreciate it. Thank you. Shannon lets bring in Byron York, great to have you with us. As we await Donald Trump returning to the side of the butler Assassination Attempt July 13th i want to play something from j. D. Vance. He spoke about why it was so important to go back. This community has been so good to me and Donald Trump, this community is so strong and resilient and my friends, we are so proud to stand here in butler, pennsylvania ready to take back the White House, ready to take back this country. David plouffe the Keystone State could be key to winning this whole thing. Absolutely could. I looked at the realtor Politics Average of polls, the race is tied, absolutely tied. It is a huge crowd out there. Weve seen some aerial pictures of a big crowd. One of the things this Event Shows is how incredibly different the race is today than it was on July 13th when trump was shot. Trump had a big lead over the democratic candidate, Joe Biden was the democratic candidate. Than the Assassination Attempt, i actually flew with trump on his plane to milwaukee the next day for the start of the republican convention. It was going to be a triumphant arrival anyway but after the assassination it almost had a mystical element to it. It was huge. It was a very good convention for trump and things looked really good for him. A few days later the democrats pulled the big switch, Kamala Harris became the candidate and the democrats became much more energized. Like they had a huge weight on their shoulders that was lifted off and they were happy about that. The race is essentially tied. Harris is a had a Couple Points in the real clear Politics Average of national polls and it is an entirely different feeling than it was July 13th. David plouffe so many things have happened between then and now. In recent pence of the appalling, people dont have a good feel for the economy. They do with Donald Trump The Edge on both immigration and the economy and yet the paul had him down a Couple Points, everything in the margin of error but knowing he has the wind on his back with issues of immigration and the economy, why is it such a tight race for him in that state . Trump has always had a temperament problem. There are always, all the democrats are going to oppose him anyway. Than as far as independents who dont like him they always dislike him for temperament reasons. They think he can be mean, they think he speaks offthecuff too much. They think he lies. Whatever. He has a temperament issue. It is always going to be with him. That is the problem. The race is still tied which nationally if Kamala Harris is a had a deck or two a lot of political strategists believe that means trump wins because trump is closer now than he was in 2016 or in 2020. You can say hes in better shape now than he was in one of the races he won and the one he lost. Shannon this crowd adores him, this is his Home Team and for him to return there they will remember people who were injured, Corys Family will be part of this. Why is it important for trump to go back . I wasnt surprised but i thought a lot of people see that is pretty gutsy. There is an unfinished business feeling about that. First of all it was incredible that trump survived the and on that day afterwards he was replaying in his mind the way he turned his head in just such a way the bullet grazed his ear and didnt hit him directly in the head. Theres an unfinished business to it. Obviously people did that. One man did that and two were seriously wounded in this so it is something he wants to pay tribute to them. You were talking about the town of butler. When something terrible happens in the town it is nobodys fault. They feel bad about it and hes trying to raise spirits not just in that place but in pennsylvania as a whole.
