further than it is now, and you have more people come to market, which is the positive. right now i think inventory is about 12.5% lower than it was in 2019. so there's less homes for people to buy, which means more demand and pushing prices even further. as rates start to come down, you have all the baby boomers, developers with shadow inventory, et cetera, bring their homes to market in a way they haven't over the past two years, which will bring more supply to the market but it's going to bring even more competition with lower rates. can you wait to? sure. but if you can use the current state of the world to get a better deal, to negotiate, you marry the house but you date the rate. always refinance. >> dana: i love it and i will never forget it. ryan serhant, where can people find you? >> ryan: everywhere. i'm easy to find. >> dana: thank you so much. >> bill: find him in tribeca. >> dana: i'll find you there!

>> every big city in america, i can't say enough. violence on randall's island is no different than rikers island. we believe public safety is a prerequisite to our prosperity. >> dana: new york city's mayor once again insisting the city is safe despite rising migrant chaos feeling the surge in crime and violence. we are now learning about the arrest of an illegal immigrant who accused dominic is accused of seeking a woman at knife poie world-famous coney island. and of the suspect accused of beating her boyfriend with a pipe when he tried to stop the attack. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america reports." i'm dana perino. >> bill: good to be back with you on this tuesday. i am bill hemmer. good morning at home. this assault, brutal, taking place outside the coney island hotel housing migrants. one of the suspect was released from jail less than two weeks ago after a plea deal for sexually assaulting another woman put him back on the

streets. all this coming just hours after a stabbing outside of a different migrant shelter run by new york city on an island called randall's island, and that is where alexis mcadams is reporting from yesterday. today she's moved in times square. good morning to you. where are we? >> reporter: i'm now in times square because there's a lot happening on the migrant crime friend in new york city, so we are following the latest of elements. in one case out in coney island, a migrant was arrested for reportedly raping women there, throwing her to the ground violently and assaulting her. this is not the first time he's been arrested for something like this in the big apple. that's his mom shot on the screen. he attacked this 46-year-old woman, throwing her to the ground in coney island on sunday night, and sexually assaulted her. last year the 24-year-old was busted for the same thing, according to investigators, allegedly sexually assaulting someone at a brooklyn shelter.

>> any time you take over 200,000 undocumented migrants to the city, it's going to cause issues. is it a crime issue, yes. migrants causing crime in the city, absolutely. is it all migrants? absolutely not. >> reporter: this comes as they look for the person he stabbed a man in the stomach outside a different migrant shelter on randall's island yesterday. that's where we were talking to people. and this migrant woman was shot and killed near the same spot, so the people feel very unsafe, telling me it is dangerous inside the shelters. as the crime continues, migrants are setting up tents outside the shelter's trying to sleep in those when they put their 30-day shelter limit. the people i talked to who live near there are fed up. >> it's a disaster here, absolutely a disaster. i don't have words to explain. >> reporter: fox has now learned one of the migrants who police say he attacked to kill nypd cops earlier this

year -- remember this video? it's hard to forget. he's back behind bars yet again, this time accused of stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from new york city stores, ripping it right off the shelves and running out, according to investigators. he was able to post bail after his arrest in january and apparently he's just been adding to his rap sheet. according to court documents, he has at least half a dozen cases in new york city from just the past year. back out here live, he can follow all that, we have more. he's going to be back in court in a few days, we are thinking next week. is he going to be able to post bail this time? they said they're going to raise it, so we will see if he has the money to do it. even with the migrant cases, who had the mayor of new york saying he thinks it is the safest big city in america. we'll have to see what people think. >> you've got your work cut out for you there, alexis. thank you, from times square. >> dana: how fortunate are we? joining us, sean hannity. i basically live streamed my

walk. i haven't seen murder but i feel like i've seen everything short of that throughout the city, sean. >> sean: how many more cases will it take until people realize this is an unmitigated disaster? the brutality of what happened, old people getting beaten in the streets, brazenly attacking police officers in times square. a young 13-year-old girl raped and videotaped in broad daylight in a park in queens, new york. a mother of five, a 12-year-old girl brutalized for two hours and then murdered by an unvested harris-biden illegal immigrant. we have over 11 million of them. it's fascinating to watch this, because kamala harris can't win

if america knows who she really is. she's got to her positions. now she is saying, i'm going to be tougher than donald trump on the issue of borders, and i'm going to tackle inflation on day one. she has been vice president for nearly four years. what have you done to fix these problems except lie and say the border is secure and inflation is transitory? how do you make the case is going to be tough on the borders when you want to decriminalize illegal immigration? you want to give them free housing, free health care, free education. her running mate wants to give drivers licenses. they both want sanctuary cities and states. and this weekend she took it a step further, a path to citizenship. let me translate for a very smart fox news audience. that means amnesty. so we will reward all the wrong behavior, all the illegal behavior, and the worst part of

this is we have people coming from over 180 countries, some of our top geopolitical foes and people with terror ties. how many more are they going to allow them to the country? we learned about 99 a week ago, the guy who had recently traveled to iran and they let him in under a special designation program. this is the definition of madness, and we are putting the american people at risk. it is the most preventable thing -- we could stop all of this tomorrow. the trump policies work. it's infuriating. i will say this, my prayers go out to these families. how would you feel if it was your family? asked everybody. if it's your family -- i'm sorry, bill. go ahead. >> bill: it's okay. you've raised a number of questions. the way it's going right now, there's a debate for weeks from today, september 10th. there's a chance we may not get an answer or even have that

direct question for four more weeks. this is going back to 2018 and then i will ask you a specific question about the remaining months. >> sean: you bet. >> i think there is no question that we have to critically re-examine i.c.e. and the work it is doing. >> let me be very clear, we need to have a secure border, but i'm in favor of saying we are not going to treat people who are undocumented and cross the border as criminals. >> would you be committing to close the immigration detention centers? >> absolutely, on day one. >> bill: that's a lot. she is saying that trump blew up the deal. sean, if they cared -- i mean, biden is still the commander in chief. she is the vice president. he signed 70 executive orders on

day one. what can you do in the next four or five months? >> sean: they bragged about undoing all the trump policies that were working. "we ended so many of them, i can't even list them," mayorkas said. so the woman who was the tie-breaking vote on the inflation reduction act, which basically was siccing the irs on service workers to get their tip money, she changed that position. now she's changing on the mandatory gun buyback program. now she's changing her position after comparing i.c.e. to the kkk and decriminalizing illegal immigration. as i said earlier, housing, health care, education, driver's license if you are in minnesota. she's going to change her position on that. she's changing her position on fracking, changing her position on drilling. pretty much everything, every position she has had. the reason she is doing it, if

america knows, they can't win. it's too radical, extreme, it is out of the mainstream, and frankly these policies are dangerous. so what they're going to do is there going to adopt the joe biden "let me hide in the basement" strategy for 2020, and the media is complicit. an extension of their press office, they will allow them to go through this campaign with few to little interviews and no press conferences. she only agreed to one debate. >> bill: so far. >> sean: she complained about trump not debating, trump said the other night he would do three. i think the american people deserve to hear from her and explain what this election year conversion is. >> dana: sean hannity, thank you. you obviously work all day. you have radio and then you have your show tonight which we will watch. >> sean: there is one great thing. i get to see and hang out with

both of you in chicago. >> bill: oh, right on. >> sean: i'm going to pay for all the hot dogs you can eat. we'll have our own little fox news hot dog eating contest, and i'm going to run it, and i'll put my money on hemmer. i think hemmer can suck down a lot of hot dogs. >> dana: i want tyrus on my team! >> sean: mustard, relish, pickles, and peppers. >> bill: thanks for coming up. >> dana: if you want more politics, don't forget to check out "perino on politics." this week, liam donovan. and we have a new read on the economy showing wholesale prices rising 2.2% in july from the same time a year ago. that's a drop from june. of course companies pass those price increases for their goods and services down to you, the consumer. another key inflation report is due out tomorrow. brian brenberg told us yesterday we have to pay attention to that one. the consumer price index. we will be watching that closely. >> bill: here are the whoppers

on the border. car insurance up, extreme a number here. you've got transportation at about 18.5%, that's a whopper, as well. shelter, we talk about housing in america, how difficult it is. 13% in change. have you checked out your electricity bill? i have. i am shocked by this. up about 10%, and child care. if you're trying to take care of your kids and your family and also hold down a job, this is going to put a major crimp in your budget. all of it weighing down on the middle class, and gerri willis from fox business has more on that. good morning. >> good morning to you, bill. you can call it a death bomb, that's what a lot of americans are facing, especially when they are starting their adult lives, with more than half a million dollars in debt taken on by most young folks as they buy items that previous generations took for granted. the median price of a home at an all-time high of $423,000. even as the inventory for homes

remains tight. meanwhile, rising prices for cars and trucks causing consumers to lengthen their loans to 84 months. that is longer than the vehicle may last. education debt is another looming issue for many, as we talked about, and of course putting a ring on it. well, the average wedding costs $30,000. it's no wonder the bank rate survey found americans believe they need $186,000 to live comfortably. that is more than double the average income earned by americans, of $79,000. there is increasing evidence of this burgeoning debt already causing some americans to tighten their purse strings. real retail sales, that peaked three years ago, about the time americans were spending their government pandemic bonuses. that money, though, long gone, and now many of us are facing a debt hangover as delinquencies rise. look at these credit card and auto loan balance delinquencies. we spoke to jade warshaw. she and her husband decided enough is enough and paid off

$4,600,000 in personal debt over seven years. listen. >> the slogan that most americans need to embrace is, when it comes to debt, just say no. for most americans, that is the problem. you can't solve a problem while simultaneously creating it. >> she says focus is the key to paying off debt and boosting your income. well, that doesn't hurt, either. >> bill: hoping for good things. more data to come tomorrow. we are watching that on the inflation front. >> it's coming. >> bill: gerri, thank you. >> dana: news from overseas, israel puts its military on high alert, preparing for attack from enemies committed to its destruction. as the u.s. doing enough to help? >> bill: and a competitor made out of nuts and bolts. a google robot versus a human and table tennis, and guess who came out on top? >> dana: and when it comes to the press, kamala harris looking like he's in the witness protection program. will she ever faced questions from reporters, or not?

>> she has yet to face the media. to face the media is to face the voters. the democratization of information, where everybody gets to see what a presidential believes, all at the same time. missing out on the things you love because of asthma? get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. allergic reactions may occur. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. step back out there with fasenra. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

>> dana: fox news alert, the fbi now in the case, investigating an attempted iranian cyber attack. those hackers allegedly targeting the trump and harris campaigns. gillian turner is at the state department with more. tell us what you now. >> the fbi is now confirming to fox news that they are officially investigating iranian government cyber hacking attempts into the trump and harris campaigns. we are getting wildly different responses from the two sides to this development. take a look at this, the harris campaign told us yesterday, last

night, "our campaign vigilantly monitors and protects against cyberthreats and we are not aware of any security breaches of our systems." state department and white house officials are not commenting on this specific investigation, but they are affirming that the threat of iranian interference in the 2024 elections is very real. listen. >> these latest attempts to interfere in u.s. elections are nothing new for the iranian regime. >> any kind of report like that, any activity, we are going to take a very, very seriously. >> unlike the harris campaign, it appears the trump camp believes their internal communication systems were actually breached. the former president wrote on truth social, "we were just informed by microsoft corporation that one of our many websites was hacked by the iranian government. never a nice thing to do." trump's claim does appear to be backed up by "politico," which reports its staff began receiving emails last month from someone calling themselves "robert," writing from an aol email address, that included all

kinds of internal commutations from the trump campaign including a research dossier they put together in february on senator j.d. vance. obviously now former president trump's running mate. the iranian regime is denying anything to do with this, obviously, but the cyber experts we are talking to are telling us that the techniques used in this breach reflect very clearly in one direction, back to iran. dana? >> dana: be careful who you get emails from and don't click on things unless you know. >> never click on a link. >> bill: it is men or women against the machine now. google unveiled a paddle-fitted robot that can be humans at the beginner level in ping-pong. meanwhile, testing driverless cars without a human on board on the streets of san francisco. carley shimkus, cohost of "fox & friends first," and tom shillue, comedian and fox news contributor. i don't know what's funny about this, tom, that i guess we going

to find out. >> i'm suspicious of technology, obviously. i'm a bit of a luddite, it's going to have benefits but it's going to have potential risks, including job displacement. that's big. bias in decision-making, and probably most important of all and not talked about enough, emotional intelligence, which is essential for many tasks that include sympathy and empathy. you know what is most interesting about that, what i just said? everything i just said was written by ai. >> plot twist! >> chatgpt gave me that answer. >> you didn't even study for the segment, you cheater! i was up there in my office doing all this research! the ping-pong robot and also the driverless car -- you are right, they do use strategic decision-making skills. that means they learn as they go and get better and better at ping-pong and driving the more they do it. that's why people are fascinated and also very uncomfortable and it comes to ai.

we are talking about the presidential election of 2024. what is the world going look like in 2044, 2054, because of ai? it's already being used in the military, for better or worse. similar experience, i googled "ai in the military" in my office just a couple minutes ago and the first answer i got was a google ai generated an answer about the benefits of ai in the military. we have seen the sci-fi movie before and it doesn't end good. hopefully if its use in the real world things and it better for us. >> bill: i am a fan of automated driving. it'll make us massively more productive and i can't wait until it happens. a robot playing ping-pong? i can whip that robot. >> i can't. >> bill: are you kidding me? the way that robot is playing, yes. this is in san francisco, setting off a bunch of alarms and stuff when it goes down the road. let's move to tom's favorite topic. this is ai, because the ghost of

hollywood past are coming back invoice for them. go ahead and roll it and we'll see if you can guess the voice of this character. >> at that moment, dorothy saw her lying on the table to silver shoes that had belonged to the witch of the east. >> bill: that was apparently judy garland reading. were you sold? >> it sounds like her, don't you think? >> its amazing technology, although i don't know about -- i think when it comes to these -- these people had personalities. judy garland, frank sinatra. they had amazing personas, and we don't have people like that. when you look at them, there's a reason they are so iconic. people lived in the real world back then. now everyone is so affected by their devices -- there is no more bogart, so they're going to have to use humphrey bogart to starting movies because nobody is interested. is there anyone like faye dunaway that you can find? there are beautiful women out there, but is anyone like humphrey bogart, like lauren bacall?

they don't make them like that anymore. >> b>> bill: is this tom shillue talking or chatgpt? >> the estates of these people are signing up using a company that all they need is a 30-minute clip of either burt reynolds, judy garland, james dean, laurence olivier. all of their estates have signed onto this, to use their voices. and it will be used for audiobooks and also articles. i know, dana, you have an issue with articles you listen to. so you can have burt reynolds. >> dana: there is a breathy robot reading the news and honestly i want to scream. i can't take it. >> if you have a british accent, you just always sound better. >> dana: the british accent i could take some of this on what she's reading the news, what are you doing? it's news! driving me nuts. thank you both. >> i appreciate that you get me. >> dana: thank you, carley.

there's a reason why she's not doing press conferences. "the new york times" is quoting some harris aides who say, in the fractured media landscape where trust in traditional news outlets has fallen, the most effective voter outreach comes from alternative venues like tiktok and their own social media platforms. over the weekend, while she was in las vegas, harris came out in support of ending federal taxes on tips. it is an effort that trump has champion for months, and his campaign says she is stealing his ideas. see eight writing, whether she's played raising ideas like no tax on tips were completely changing her position on fracking and gun rights, kamala has proven to be a chameleon in order to gaslight voters. in 2019, harris told cnn she is against fracking, a major business in swing states like pennsylvania. her campaign says she would no longer support a ban, but critics point to these clips which show she is flip-flopping for votes. >> there is no question i'm in favor of banning fracking. >> harris once supported medicare for all in order to overhaul the u.s. health system,

and while that no longer appears to be the case, some progressives say they are okay that she's changing her mind. >> she has to run her campaign. i'm sure she's talking to all kinds of people to come up with an agenda that will lead to victory in november. >> harris is going to be with president biden to talk about the economy on thursday in an event in maryland. big question come a stick with bidenomics or pit it away from that policy platform? >> dana: i guess we'll have to wait and see. >> bill: charles payne is bringing the pain. we just saw one flashback. 2019, that summer primary de debate. >> many have the health insurance of their employer. who here would abolish the private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan? all right. [applause] >> bill: you've got bernie sanders and kamala harris right there in the middle.

>> charles: it is so interesting. the first clip was bernie sanders. what did he just say can and he says he's in favor of doing anything that would lead to victory in november. how can she win and then once she gets into office, bernie sanders is the architect, obviously she wants it. let me ask you, why do we need it? we have 65 million people on medicare, 82 million on medicaid, another 7 million kids. so why exactly would be needed? when you listen closely to a lot of proponents, there's a lot of things where it's not about economics or anything, it's this notion of fairness, that rich people get better outcomes, shared misery kind of thing. which is dumb, because even in london they did a survey of 17,000 civil servants. people have been civil servants and got private stuff on the side. that is so crazy and so disingenuous. in the meantime, even bernie himself, he said his plan would

cost $35 trillion. the ts never stop. if you truly and here and there and next thing you know we are talking real money. >> dana: the everything is, it't like our system, our health care system, is perfect. it's not and we know that. it'll be very strict and the government will decide. and if you remember in that debate, it was like 80% of people, everybody should have medicare. you ask the second question, it would require this, this, and this for you. and people are like, i don't want that. >> charles: what if you do this? let's compare to canada and their universal health system. wait for four months for nonemergency procedures. candidates, 62% in the u.s., people have to wait. 92%. we don't wait for procedures. also, to see a specialist within four weeks. 69% of americans say they been

able to see a specialist. only 38% in canada. when you think about how often you read a story of someone coming from europe or one of these universal health care nations for an emergency surgery or something they really need, coming to the united states to get it. >> bill: they have the money to do it. >> charles: this is nuts. it's expensive, it is done, so dumb and so expensive. you are right, there is no such thing as a perfect system, that these universal health care systems around the world have had terrible outcomes. i think that is what we need to talk about. ultimately the outcomes for people, patients, will be worse in this country. >> bill: it is up to trump on the issues and we don't know much. i want to get you on this because you cover it every day. this is a reuters headline that crossed, i think late last night. biden supports cutting taxes on tips, white house. >> charles: [laughs] >> bill: that was after several days of kamala saying it. >> dana: everybody in the pool! >> bill: if you wanted to be

fair, he would say biden supports trump's idea about cutting tax on tips. this, according to the white house. >> charles: you interject into the mainstream media, they're going overboard right now. i've never seen it this bad. they have thrown all journalistic integrity out the window. i have never seen it this bad were they just won't be honest about anything. obviously biden never -- listen, they put together the inflation reduction act, they want to add 80,000 agents, venmo charges $600. they hit the gig economy. look what they did in california beaten back by the justice system. they are not for tips. they want to tax everything and everyone. kamala harris wasn't for it until someone called and said, it's tracking pretty good. if you want to win the body, better jump on. >> bill: thank you, charles. see you at 2:00.

but it's under siege from big out-of-state media companies and hedge funds. now, california legislators are considering a bill that could make things even worse by subsidizing national and global media corporations while reducing the web traffic local papers rely on.

so tell lawmakers, support local journalism, not well connected media companies. oppose ab 886. paid for by ccia. >> we are certainly sending a message, and that is one of deterrence. we certainly do not want to see a regional conflict or a wider war spread out in the middle east. part of getting this cease-fire

deal in place is to de-escalate tensions. do we say it was going to be easy? no, it's going to take a lot of work. that's why you are seeing my colleagues at the state department. you've seen the president engage his counterparts from qatar to egypt. >> dana: israel bracing from fon imminent attack. intelligence indicates an iranian strike could hit our top middle east ally this week. joining us now, the former senior director at the national security council. great to have you here. what is the updated information about this attack? they are certainly giving a lot of signals that there could be one, and then they pull it back. what's the truth? >> i think the intelligence community in the united states and of course in israel is starting to see signs on the ground, indications and warnings that the iranians are preparing to do something this week. the question, the dilemma for the iranians is how did they do something that is muscular, that lands a punch, without provoking israel into a total war?

also, do they hit directly, only from iran proper? or do they unleash all of their surrogates across the region? certainly has villa is going to hit. maybe they hit first and iran comes in later, and of course the houthis. hamas doesn't have much capability to hit israel as of now, but there's a lot of different equations that i think the iranians have to bear and sort through, and that's what the delay has been about. >> dana: one of the ways to help prevent war is through diplomacy. do you think the state department is doing the right thing? a lot of the hangups have been that hamas has been unwilling to commit to a cease-fire deal and a hamas is walking away from it. it does seem like the administration continues to take pot shots at netanyahu and israel. >> i think the state department and president biden have gotten it wrong every step along the way. they constantly berate and pressure are ally, israel. they criticize them for going

too far constantly. that gives hamas comfort. that gives hamas the ability to say, you know what? is our enemy, israel, can't even rely on their best friend, the united states, for moral support, why should we compromise? why should we get involved in some sort of hostage negotiation? we should hold out for a while, hope that netanyahu is toppled or that he feels more pressure from the united states to give in to our demands. so i think they have gotten it backwards all along, and the diplomacy record for this administration stinks. >> dana: how do you think our adversaries, an entity like iran, in this case, looks at our current politics and the state of our race? the fact that we have a commander in chief who has pulled out to not run again for reelection, and the vice president stepping in? obviously it feels very chaotic here. are they likely to try and take advantage of that? >> i think so.

i think they c probably feel lie they can get away with more under these conditions. the biden demonstration has been for de-escalation, which in the abstract sounds good, but if you overdo it, it comes across as weakness. if you calculate that president biden is going to be more d escalatory in the face of these threats from israel because he doesn't want to harm the prospects of kamala harris as she runs against donald trump, if you are the iranians, you may think to yourself, you know what? i will get away with a little bit more because the united states isn't going to hit me back in a muscular way, because they are too afraid of war, too afraid of what's going to happen electorally in the united states. so i do think it is a factor that the supreme leader and the new iranian president are weighing. >> dana: my last question to you is, with the new iranian leader, can we expect any change? or is it basically the same old crew? >> i think it is the same old

crew. there is no such thing as a true moderate or reformist within that system. it is always degrees of ultra conservatism in the brand of the supreme leader. they are still a revolutionary type regime, so i don't see any real flexibility. but, you know what? we need a different tact against the iranians. you might be able to get more out of them if you are consistently tough with sanctions and deterrents. and we haven't seen that in the last three and half years from the biden administration. >> dana: michael allen of beacon global strategies, thank you for coming on today. i'll stay in touch. >> thanks for having me. >> this guy was the closest -- a lot of people thought she would pick sort of the opposite, but she picked an anti-israel radical left person. >> bill: that was elon musk last night, a controversial muslim cleric create new problems for the democratic

border sheriff mark lam, tammy bruce, clay travis, "the faulkner focus" next. >> harris, thank you, we will see you in a moment here, for the first time ever scientist say that there is liquid water on mars buried six to 12 miles below the surface saying it could be enough to fill a global ocean. if so that would mean the possibility of life could exist. right now somewhere else in the solar system besides planet earth, but the rover can't go that deep, so -- i guess it's telling them something about the possibility of her what could be down there. >> elon musk doubters about life on mars for the future, maybe they will have to -- let's go! we will try to get you up there for a test. after you went to the arctic circle, your next step is mars. we will also tell you this now that minnesota governor tim walz is the nominee for

vice president he is facing backlash for his ties to -- after the october 7th attack on israel, mike tobin live in chicago with more, which we know, mike? >> well, dana, with what we have drummed up, we see them with a sods them on in january 19, then again in april and may. at one point to delivering an indication to the state of the state address as executive director as the muslim society of minnesota. did a background i would've found that in 2015 he posted a link to a pro-hitler propaganda movie called the greatest story never told. still he appeared with governor walton may have 2020 calling for calm on the george floyd riots and in 2023 following the string of vandalism at mosques, saying that he has been willfully ignorant of the radicalism because he remains on the muslim voting bloc and cannot do anything that would make him

appear islamophobic. >> on the stick ain't given the ability to embrace really just the worst kind of radicals within the muslim community, one can only imagine this will be replicated in the white house level. as he clearly does not want to know about the extremists. speak of the state records we have tracked down showed the muslim site minnesota has received grants over $23,000 starting in the career 2021 through next year, according to the washington examiner, designating the muslim society as a terrorist organization back in 2014 and federal prosecutors described the muslim american society has a direct arm of the muslim brotherhood. the same brotherhood that assassinated and gave birth to hamas. now the harris/wolves campaign has not responded to our comments. but to looking at the jewish insider and they said governor wohl's does not have a

relationship with him meaning -- and strongly condemns hamas terrorism. >> dana: mike tobin, we get more and more questions as the vetting process was a short one, and finding out more. thank you so much. >> bill: on the two-time speed, 3x, meanwhile minnesota business owner speaking out on walz's response to george floyd. >> if he gets to become the vice president he needs to learn how to love the people here especially minnesota because of the destruction that happened during his watch. >> bill: they are saying that writers destroyed a store and stole $200,000 worth of merchandise and received no response. >> dana: more to come on all of that and a debate as well. great to be with you. harris faulkner will take you through the next hour. here is "the faulkner focus." it's me on the last time i vice president kamala harris ran for the white house sh
