A school bus aide in Spotsylvania, Virginia sexually assaulted multiple four- and five-year olds with disabilities on the school bus on Thursday, police said. According to a jail booking from Rappahannock Regional Jail, Miguel Angel Velasquez Velasco was booked for eight counts of aggravated sexual battery of a victim less than 13 years, sodomy, and indecent liberties with a child by a custodian, and is being held without bond. Spotsylvania Police Major Troy Skeba said in a Saturday statement that school authorities notified the police of suspicions that “inappropriate touching of a student” had occurred on a school bus. “Detectives with the ‘Child Victim Unit’ and school administration immediately started an investigation and obtained substantial evidence that Mr. Velasquez Velasco assaulted three separate children on the school bus on the day of September 26th,” Skeba said. “The victims ages range from 4 to 5 years of age who are students with disabilities.” Skeba said Velasquez Velasco is an immigrant who is a legal permanent resident and has no known criminal record. Superintendent Clint M. Mitchell has not informed the community of the incident. The Daily Wire sent Mitchell questions about the incident at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, but, as of this writing, he had not responded.   Spotsylvania Commonwealth’s Attorney Ryan Mehaffey told The Daily Wire that the “case is very important to our community and it has my undivided attention.” He said the charging documents could not be released because it is currently in juvenile court. Spotsylvania is a semi-rural county about 60 miles south of Washington, D.C. Related: Loudoun County Schools Tried To Conceal Sexual Assault Against Daughter In Bathroom, Father Says

“Morning Joe” regular Katty Kay conceded on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris does not poll well with men — across a number of demographics — and she suggested a possible solution the campaign might implement in order to bridge that gap. Kay argued that Harris’ campaign — which has not been terribly forthcoming with regard to answering questions from the press or outlining actual policies that were likely to be implemented in a Harris administration — could have her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), do more from the campaign trail. WATCH: .@KattyKay_: "The real struggle for the Harris campaign is young men, older men, men of color, white men. And they're doing all they can. The debate next week will be really interesting to see how Tim Walz reaches out to that group." pic.twitter.com/mwL41t104d — Morning Joe (@Morning_Joe) September 27, 2024 “Either the concern or the upside, depending on how you look at this from the Harris campaign’s point of view, is that Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin people think will break the same way,” she said of Harris’ focus in the swing states. “That’s what they’ve done traditionally ever since 1980, I think there’s one exception, so if they lose Pennsylvania, what would that then mean for Wisconsin and Michigan? If they win Wisconsin and Michigan, does that then mean they’re going to win Pennsylvania?” Kay then pointed out that the major problem facing the Harris campaign was “men.” “But it’s men, I think the real struggle for the Harris campaign, is young men, old men, men of color, white men — and they are doing all they can, you can see – I think we’ll see the debate next week will be really interesting to see how Tim Walz reaches out to that group. Doug Emhoff … he is making a concerted effort in his own way to reach out to that group. They know that’s where they — they know that’s where they have a weakness.” “No self-respecting man buys Tim Walz’s schmalzy Midwest Dad schtick. Mr Stolen Valor is as phony as his boss and even weirder. (Who gets married on the anniversary of a massacre? The Manchurian candidate.)” Miranda Devine commented via X.

High school seems like so long ago. Back then, we were young and free without a care. Sometimes, we took things seriously, and we just let them slide on other days. Those days in our youth can sometimes come back to haunt us or at least give us a really big laugh. Keith Urban Has A Wild High School Story Of His Own Keith Urban, who just released his newest album, High, on September 20, sat down with Kelly Clarkson and told her an unbelievable story. Kelly wanted to know who Keith’s favorite music teacher was when he was a kid. He didn’t hesitate for a second and said, “Mrs. Grimmer.” Keith was in 10th grade studying music, but much of his final grade was based on his ability to read music. He and many of his friends couldn’t do that, so Mrs. Grimmer came up with a plan. “But we were all gonna fail music because it was all theory-based,” he explained “She wrote an entire play for us to perform, and we were gonna be graded on the play and the performance. Everybody did it.” At the end of the year, the whole class got together and performed this fantastic play, and it went off without a hitch. That was until the principal told them it didn’t qualify as part of the curriculum, and he “failed music,” he said. Kelly chimed in in shock, “Hilarious! That’s like Neil DeGrasse Tyson failing science.” Fans of the show loved seeing Kelly and Keith together, leaving comments on Kelly’s YouTube channel. One wrote, “Well what did it for me is the music staff on a music sheet my brain was like noooooope lol so yeah I can relate to what he is talking about.” “We love Keith Urban and Kelly Clarkson,” a fan cheered.

It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 25 years since the world first heard Survivor host Jeff Probst say the iconic phrase, “The tribe has spoken.” The reality competition show captivated audiences who watched as 16 people were left on the island of Borneo. They had very few material things but a huge will to win. Week by week, the contests were played, plotted, and schemed, and one by one, they were picked off at the tribal council as Jeff extinguished their torches. The first season finale boasted 52 million viewers on the edge of their seats. They waited in anticipation to see who would be crowned the inaugural Survivor. Richard Hatch walked away with the title and the $1 million grand prize. He was part of the beginning of a franchise that is now entering its 47th season. “Survivor” Has Seen Many Changes Throughout 47 Seasons To stay on the air for 47 seasons, Survivor continually reinvents itself. There are new locations, games, strategies, and a wild cast of characters. Season after season, avid watchers tune in to see what’s new. For many reasons, a big part of the game we were contestants’ luxury items. They bring something from home that gives them comfort and sometimes also serves as a strategic part of the game. In season 2, contestant Colby Donaldson’s Texas Flag served as sentimental and functional. But as the game changed through the years, so did the use of luxury items. Jeff Probst explained during a recent episode of On Fire: The Official Survivor Podcast,  “In the early seasons, we allowed them to bring one emotional item,” the host and executive producer continued, “Which means it couldn’t be survival related. You’re not going to bring a toothbrush. But then we stopped letting them start the game, and we started using them as rewards. And then we just stopped altogether. But we do still have them. They bring one with them, and we approve them, and then we hold them in case we decide we want to use them in the game for any number of reasons.” Luxury Items Could Be On Their Way Back To Prominence Season 46 runner-up Charlie Davis shared his luxury item story. When a listener said they’d like to see luxury items back in the forefront, Charlie liked it. “It’s an interesting question,” Charlie responds. “How would it affect the game? So if you got your emotional item at the start of the game, it would be an instant way to connect with your tribe mates more. You could tell stories of your loved ones, point to them in a photo, show them your mangled stuffed animal, your favorite place you used to visit back home. And then, if we’re talking as a reward, talking as a part of the family reward, I think it would make people fight that much harder because you’re always looking for a little bit of comfort. But when you have people fighting a little harder, you also have the losers of the family reward feeling a lot worse about being left behind. So maybe some even more tension, if you had that in there.” This story’s featured image is by Michael Tullberg/Getty Images.

Harris was filmed alongside the border wall, which she previously called a 'gross misuse of taxpayer money'

An Oklahoma teen wakes up to get a drink, but when he returns to his room he looks out the window and sees an unexplained red-eyed humanoid that he was positive was malevolent.I received the following account:"I saw something that I still can't explain. I was 15 years old (47 now, so long ago). I’d been asleep on a school night. I woke up feeling like my mouth was sandpaper dry. I went to the bathroom for water and when I came out, I was facing my bedroom's west window. We lived on 16 acres and only the space around the house was kept mowed. Everything else grew wild. It was around 2 or 3 am.The first thing I saw was the reflective eyes. Red. It was not brilliant like a red light shining, but more muted like a reflection. There wasn’t anything on that side of the house. I went to the window to see what could be out there and saw it.Standing perfectly still where the yard edge met the tall brush. Standing slightly sideways I could see the front arm hanging down. Staring directly at me. Staring at my eyes. It did not look like a deer standing on its back legs. We always saw deer around our property. This wasn’t that. This was something else. I remember the fear that went through me, overwhelming and hard to breathe because it was watching me. This was pre-internet so I’d never heard of things like skinwalker but I knew what demonic meant and this thing was definitely that. I could see its breath because it was a cold night, so there were condensation clouds as it exhaled. Other than breathing, it didn’t move for a solid 5 minutes.I remember stepping off to the side of my window, hoping to still see it but it does not see me. It didn’t move, continued to stare at my window. After a bit, it turned and walked into the tall brush. It walked like a man, not like a deer standing on its back legs. I was shaking from fear and remember going to sleep in my older brother's room. He of course was annoyed with me the next morning and asked why I was in his room. I told him what I saw, and described it in detail.After getting ready for school we went outside to that side of the house. We could see the path the creature took away from the house. Just some brush that was pushed down as someone walked through grass that hadn’t been touched in a long time and parted it. No hoof prints. The brush was too tall and thick to see that. The brush was about my head height (5 feet). This thing stood a good 2 feet taller because I could see its chest and head as it walked away. I recently asked my brother if he remembered this night and he said he remembers it vividly. I’ve never seen this creature since. I’ve seen other odd things, but never anything like this. We lived in Payne County, Oklahoma, near Stillwater." M**********GIANTS! LEGENDS BASED ON TRUTH?

A group of hikers made a spine-chilling discovery after looking back at a selfie they took on a mountain trail. The 'entity' is unknown to any of the group.The image has been shared on the Ghosts of London group on Facebook, where social media users submit photos they believe might contain something supernatural.The user who submitted this photo explained: "A friend of mine sent me this picture from his group of friends in Chile." The snap shows two men and three women crowding around each other to take a selfie, with some other people coming up the mountain pass in the background.It all seems totally innocent until you look between the woman on the left and the woman in the middle. Between their two faces appears to be a sixth, ghostly figure, with its nose and mouth visible when you zoom in.**********GIANTS! LEGENDS BASED ON TRUTH? LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us!

From the experiencer: This happened during the pandemic in 2020. It freaked me completely out, and I'm still trying to figure out what the hell occurred!"My girlfriend came down with a (non-COVID) illness that ended up putting her in the hospital. I drove her there and got her checked in, then called her sister, who lives out of state, to bring her up to speed. This was in the middle of the day. I did not speed, and my plan was to take the side road all the way home.The hospital is 11 miles away, directly north of my house, and I know this area of Dallas, Texas like the back of my hand. I decided to take a familiar side road home, to avoid the tollway.The sister and I had been talking on the speakerphone for 9 minutes when I noticed the road, one I knew very well, was unfamiliar. Then, suddenly, I realized I was approaching Love Field airport. This airport is roughly 6 miles south of my house.I pulled over immediately, shaking. The sister and I confirmed we'd only been talking for 9 minutes, and I had started the phone call as I left the hospital parking lot. She and I both couldn't explain it. Once she realized what I was describing, it freaked her out just as much.To drive 15+ miles to Love Field, I would have had to cross under one major freeway and cross both a major cross street and an additional major highway. I had absolutely no recollection of doing so. I also would have had to average about 90 miles an hour on a suburban road with a speed limit of 35 mph. I had not done so.I took a pic of Love Field, then turned back around and drove home - a drive that took me, as it always has in the past, a little over ten minutes.I do not recall any stutters or blips in the drive itself. All the cars around me stayed the same, normal traffic coming and going. Nothing suddenly shifted, I was driving normally when I realized the neighborhood I was in definitely wasn't one I recognized as being between the hospital and my house, on that road.The situation has not happened again." NFurther response:"I can't explain it at all, and it's really messing with my head every time I focus on it. I have a witness over the phone and the length of the call was right there on the screen. Furthermore, I would have had to cross Belt Line Road, drive under the 635 freeway, drive right past my house, and then cross over Northwest Hwy/Highway 12. I absolutely did not do these things.Initially, I thought I'd found a sign that something wasn't parsing, because a physical relocation, that fast, should have dropped the phone call. But my phone and towers in the area are 5G, which technically has the range to cover that quick of a spatial jump.If nothing else, physically driving from A to C in less than ten minutes is impossible. I don't think I could do it if I floored it, there was no traffic, and the cops didn't care. These aren't roads that you could easily drive any vehicle down at 120 mph without hitting a train track or pothole and destroying your car. I couldn't have even done it if I'd somehow taken the tollway and forgotten about it." N**********GIANTS! LEGENDS BASED ON TRUTH? LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us!

Guns N’ Roses exploded onto the rock scene in the mid-1980s, hailing from the gritty streets of Los Angeles, California. Formed in 1985, the original lineup consisted of Axl Rose (vocals), Slash (lead guitar), Izzy Stradlin (rhythm guitar), Duff McKagan (bass), and Steven Adler (drums). This lineup came together at a time when the Sunset Strip was dominated by glam metal, yet Guns N’ Roses distinguished themselves with a rawer, more dangerous edge. Their fusion of hard rock, punk attitude, and bluesy influences set them apart from the polished sound of many of their contemporaries. Their debut album, Appetite for The post Guns N’ Roses’ Best Song On Each Of Their Studio Albums appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

On Friday, ICE revealed that it estimates there are roughly 13,000 non-citizen murderers running loose in the country, but only NBC found time to mention it on their Friday evening newscast. ABC and CBS, meanwhile, not only failed to cover it, but tried to spin the border situation as positive. ABC White House correspondent Mary Bruce took the lead on Friday’s World News Tonight when she hyped Kamala Harris’s trip to the border, “Tonight, Harris promising if she's elected, she will add 1,500 more border agents and officers, crack down on fentanyl smuggling and human trafficking, and surge resources to the border. Much of this was included in the landmark bipartisan border security bill that Harris supported but that Donald Trump urged members of Congress to tank, just as the campaign was heating up.”   MaryAlice Parks also ignored the numbers, "This was the toughest language we have maybe ever heard from a Democrat when it comes to the border." pic.twitter.com/imxARzeWm2 — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) September 28, 2024   Bruce also hyped, “While apprehensions at the border hit a record high under the Biden administration, over 8 million. On the ground in Nogales, Arizona, Border Patrol telling us they've seen a notable difference since the president put new limits on asylum claims. Riding along with them on patrol, we get a firsthand look. Since President Biden enacted those new asylum restrictions back in June, they have seen a drastic decrease in the encounters along the border, 60 percent in this sector alone.” Concluding her report, Bruce again promoted, “Harris here tonight is arguing that we can be a nation of laws and also a nation of immigrants. You don't have to choose between securing the border and creating an immigration system that is orderly and compassionate.” The next day, fellow White House correspondent MaryAlice Parks told Good Morning America, “I mean, long gone, Whit, are the days Democrats talking about wanting to decriminalize the border. This was the toughest language we have maybe ever heard from a Democrat when it comes to the border.” Parks also recalled, “I also talked to one immigration expert that gave Harris some credit for how she talked about fentanyl as a law enforcement issue, not an immigration issue. We know that the vast, vast majority of fentanyl is actually trafficked into this country by U.S. citizens at ports of entry. Harris talked about needing to crack down on that without blaming migrants, guys.” On Friday’s CBS Evening News, White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe likewise painted the situation as under control, “foot traffic across the entire U.S.-Mexico border is down in recent months amid Mexican attempts to stop immigrants and the Biden administration's push to restrict asylum requests.” O’Keefe’s colleague, Adam Yamaguchi, also reported, “While the numbers of illegal crossings has dropped significantly, it still isn't zero. People are still crossing over into the U.S. illegally on a daily basis.”   A Saturday Willie James Inman report does likewise, "While unlawful border crossings are at a four-year low, former President Ttrump has placed the blame for the situation at the border on the Biden administration, including Vice President Harris." pic.twitter.com/nZBF5bep3Q — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) September 28, 2024   At the end of his report, O’Keefe did manage to play a clip of GOP Douglas, Arizona, Mayor Donald Huish claiming, “We need more of their involvement. It’s a federal issue, we need the federal government to take over the situation and not leave it on our doorstep.” On CBS Saturday Morning, White House correspondent Willie James Inman also tried to play up Harris on immigration, “Kamala Harris said she'd put tougher executive authorities in place as president to slow the flow of migrants.” Inman added, “While unlawful border crossings are at a four-year low, former President Trump has placed the blame for the situation at the border on the Biden administration, including Vice President Harris.” Back on Friday at NBC Nightly News, White House correspondent Gabe Gutierrez was the exception and mentioned the numbers immediately, “Vice President Harris landing in Arizona for her first trip to the Southern border in three years and also facing new criticism from former President Trump after the Immigration and Customs Enforcement director sent a letter to lawmakers revealing more than 13,000 migrants previously convicted of homicide are currently free inside the U.S.”   By contrast, NBC's Gabe Gutierrez comes right out and reports, "the Immigration and Customs Enforcement director sent a letter to lawmakers revealing more than 13,000 migrants previously convicted of homicide are currently free inside the U.S" pic.twitter.com/CBALrr9cEt — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) September 28, 2024   The report also included that nearly 16,000 have been convicted of sexual assault and that there are over 425,000 criminals on ICE’s nondetailed docket of over 7 million. Gutierrez, however, tried to shield Harris from at least some embarrassment, “A source familiar with the data tells NBC News, many entered the country prior to the Biden administration and that ICE lacks resources.” After a digression for Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, Gutierrez added, “Still crossings have dropped dramatically in recent months, and Harris is slamming Trump for killing a bipartisan border bill earlier this year.” He concluded with two soundbites, one of a 2016 Trump supporter-turned Harris supporter who claimed Trump is “relying on fear” and another who claimed Biden and Harris’s initial reversal of Trump’s policies means that Harris’s current stances are “baloney. An absolute lie. She doesn't care about the border.” The Saturday edition of Today was preempted by golf. With ICE's report, maybe the media can stop pretending like illegal immigrant crime is no big deal, but that would require two of the three networks to acknowledge the report. Here are transcripts for the September 27 and 28 shows: ABC World News Tonight 9/27/2024 6:41 PM ET MARY BRUCE: Vice President Kamala Harris touching down late today at the southern border to tackle one of her greatest vulnerabilities in this campaign, immigration. Harris traveling to the border in the key battleground of Arizona. She's been closing the gap on Donald Trump's lead on the economy. Now aiming to fight him on who would be most effective on border security, too. Tonight, the campaign with a new ad. HARRIS CAMPAIGN AD NARRATOR: She put cartel members and drug traffickers behind bars, and she will secure our border. BRUCE: Tonight, Harris promising if she's elected, she will add 1,500 more border agents and officers, crack down on fentanyl smuggling and human trafficking, and surge resources to the border. Much of this was included in the landmark bipartisan border security bill that Harris supported but that Donald Trump urged members of Congress to tank, just as the campaign was heating up. KAMALA HARRIS: Donald Trump called up those folks and said, don't put that bill on the floor for a vote. He blocked the bill, and you know why? Because he'd prefer to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. BRUCE: While apprehensions at the border hit a record high under the Biden administration, over 8 million. On the ground in Nogales, Arizona, Border Patrol telling us they've seen a notable difference since the president put new limits on asylum claims. Riding along with them on patrol, we get a firsthand look. Since President Biden enacted those new asylum restrictions back in June, they have seen a drastic decrease in the encounters along the border, 60 percent in this sector alone.  But Trump, well aware polls show immigration is a winning issue for him, has tried to pin the situation on the border squarely on Harris, and he's promising an aggressive crackdown. DONALD TRUMP:  We will close the border. We will stop the invasion. We will begin the largest deportation operation in American history. BRUCE: David, Harris here tonight is arguing that we can be a nation of laws and also a nation of immigrants. You don't have to choose between securing the border and creating animmigration system that is orderly and compassionate. David, she's trying to do both. *** ABC Good Morning America 9/28/2024 7:41 AM ET MARYALICE PARKS: Yeah, wow, what an evolution we heard from the vice president yesterday on this issue. I mean, long gone, Whit, are the days Democrats talking about wanting to decriminalize the border. This was the toughest language we have maybe ever heard from a Democrat when it comes to the border. I mean, Harris said she will pursue severe criminal charges against repeat violators who cross the border unlawfully, she said if someone does not make an asylum request at a legal port of entry, but crosses unlawfully they will be barred from receiving asylum, period.  Now, that is the direction that this administration has been going but she went even further than President Biden. I think it's a sign of, you know, a changing time, a changing reality on the ground, but also changing politics. Even Democrats wanting more order on the Southern border.  You know, a lot of Democrats I talked to said she seems more authentically herself when she delivers tough talk and talks about herself a prosecutor. They liked that she blasted Trump for some of his immigration policy proposals and things that he did in the past when he was in the White House. Family separation, detaining families, I mean, those were policies hugely unpopular and last I’ll say, really quickly, I also talked to one immigration expert that gave Harris some credit for how she talked about fentanyl as a law enforcement issue, not an immigration issue.  We know that the vast, vast majority of fentanyl is actually trafficked into this country by U.S. citizens at ports of entry. Harris talked about needing to crack down on that without blaming migrants, guys. *** CBS Evening News 9/27/2024 ED O’KEEFE: Vice President Harris in Arizona tonight for just her second visit to the U.S.-Mexico border since taking office is hoping to cut into former president Donald Trump's lead on the immigration issue. She’s vowing to keep in place a recent Biden administration crackdown on asylum requests, and has promoted herself as tough on cross-border crime. KAMALA HARRIS: So I'm the only person on the stage who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations for the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings. DONALD TRUMP: She didn't go there for four years, now, today she shows up. O’KEEFE: Trump, who's attacked Harris repeatedly on immigration, knows Arizona is key to victory in November. He lost here to President Biden four years ago by just 11,000 votes. TRUMP: And we will close the border. We will stop the invasion. We will begin the largest deportation operation in American history, and we have no choice. O’KEEFE: This stretch of border in Arizona accounts for just a small percentage of legal crossings and apprehensions and foot traffic across the entire U.S.-Mexico border is down in recent months amid Mexican attempts to stop immigrants and the Biden administration's push to restrict asylum requests. Here’s what CBS's Adam Yamaguchi found this week along the Texas-Mexico border. ADAM YAMAGUCHI: While the numbers of illegal crossings has dropped significantly, it still isn't zero. People are still crossing over into the U.S. illegally on a daily basis. Welre just on the other side of Eagle Pass, Texas, which just a few months ago there were thousands, 3,000 to 4,000 people trying to cross the river over into the U.S. every single day. So then you think the numbers will go back up at some point? MAN: [Speaks Spanish]. O’KEEFE: Despite slower traffic, here in Douglas, Arizona, the Republican mayor tells us more enforcement help is needed. DONALD HUISH: We need more of their involvement. It’s a federal issue, we need the federal government to take over the situation and not leave it on our doorstep. *** WILLIE JAMES INMAN: After touring the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona, Vice President Kamala Harris said she'd put tougher executive authorities in place as president to slow the flow of migrants. KAMALA HARRIS: I will do more to secure our border. To reduce illegal border crossings. I will take further action to keep the border closed between ports of entry. INMAN: A campaign official told CBS News that Harris would keep the administration asylum restrictions and make it harder to remove the policy. Harris also said she would work to get more resources for the Border Patrol and make fighting illicit fentanyl a top priority. HARRIS: I will surge support to law enforcement agencies on the front lines, more personnel, more training, and more technology. INMAN: While unlawful border crossings are at a four-year low, former President Trump has placed the blame for the situation at the border on the Biden administration, including Vice President Harris. DONALD TRUMP: Our border is open. Our border is open. Nobody can believe it. INMAN: Democrats have blasted Trump for publicly urging Republicans not to support a bipartisan security bill that was announced earlier this year. TRUMP: Let me tell you, number one, I didn't stop it. The senators stopped it. But that's the worst bill ever drawn. It's a waste of paper, and she doesn't need a bill. *** NBC Nightly News 9/27/2024 7:06 PM ET GABE GUTIERREZ: Tonight, Vice President Harris landing in Arizona for her first trip to the Southern border in three years and also facing new criticism from former President Trump after the Immigration and Customs Enforcement director sent a letter to lawmakers revealing more than 13,000 migrants previously convicted of homicide are currently free inside the U.S. DONALD TRUMP: And I've been saying this from the beginning of the Harris-Biden disaster. [jump cut] What they've done to our country with this is inexcusable. GUTIERREZ: A source familiar with the data tells NBC News, many entered the country prior to the Biden administration and that ICE lacks resources to find them. All of it after Trump earlier today met with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. TRUMP: A great honor to have you. Thank you very much. VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY: Thanks so much. Thanks so much. GUTIERREZ: Trump calling it a great meeting. TRUMP: I also have a very good relationship, as you know, with President Putin [jump cut] I think that we can work out something that is good for both sides. GUTIERREZ: Meanwhile, here in rural Cochise County, Arizona, a senior campaign official says Harris will propose tighter asylum restrictions than President Biden. There's been a record 10 million illegal border crossings since Harris and President Biden took office. KAMALA HARRIS: We do have a broken immigration system, and it needs to be fixed. GUTIERREZ: Still crossings have dropped dramatically in recent months, and Harris is slamming Trump for killing a bipartisan border bill earlier this year. GUTIERREZ: How frustrating was that for you? DANIA ACOSTA: Absolutely frustrating. GUTIERREZ: Harris supporter and former sheriff's deputy Dania Acosta voted for Trump in 2016 but now says he's relying on fear. ACOSTA: That's really sad that people are being used as pawns for political reasons. GUTIERREZ: This has been in your family for more than 100 years. JOHN LADD: 128. GUTIERREZ: Though, rancher John Ladd says the Biden-Harris administration should never have ended Trump's restrictive border policies. LADD: Trump had it figured out. GUTIERREZ: Ladd took us to a border fence constructed during the Trump administration showing us where smugglers have cut it repeatedly, he’s skeptical of Harris's promise to support the border. LADD: That's baloney. An absolute lie. She doesn't care about the border.
