>> dana: democrats kicking off their convention tonight at united center in chicago. just four weeks ago president biden was ready to accept the party's nomination himself but tonight, his role looks different as he officially passes the torch to vice president harris as the party's presidential nominee. what a turn of events it has been. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: 24-hour whiplash and i'm bill hemmer, good to have you along for the ride in chicago. harris rise to the top of the ticket leaving voters with a big question is the convention gets underway here to help are left will she go? if the democratic party is any indication, we were given a preview of last night. anti-israel protesters outside the dnc calling harris killer kamala. >> dana: another group calling for the product, a slogan to

endorse terrorism and violence against jews around the world. >> bill: and israeli abortion calling the vice president harris a "baby killer." >> dana: that is not the half of it madison alworth in chicago and the deep divisions amongst democrats, high medicine. >> high mecca medina higher up in the united center at the dnc starts today but progressive's got started earlier yesterday. we do know pro-palestine protesters took to the street outside of the united center in chicago and when it comes to the protesters they called out kemal harrison used anti-semitic language that calls for the end of israel appeared protesters threatening to hold the vote for kamala harris to be outwardy progressive. >> i'm here today because i want the biden-harris administration and i want vice president harris ten oh there are people who are not willing to vote for her if she is going to continue to arm

and father of the israelis. >> over the course of the week, more than 200 groups plan on protesting in the city, the majority anti-israel. there could be as many as 100,000 protesters. progressive politicians, they are also making their voices heard with two day event progressive central 2024. the goal of the event with progressive policies and get them in front of a larger national policy. bernie sanders and on sunday made her argument for medicare for all. >> it shows us exactly what it looks like when you have expanded medicare system that actually covers all of the things that you need with no co-pays, no private insurance premiums, no deductibles. you actually get health care when you need it. >> this comes on the heels of vice president kamala harris' economic speech friday in which the nominee laid out her plans for price control from

health care to food and housing. while the policy proposals appear to be a nod to the progressive wing of the party, some high-profile democrats more subdued in their support when asked if the price controls were smart policy, governor gretchen whitmer said the idea was worth having conversations. those divisions are expected to remain below the surface at the dnc where we are expecting a real show of unity as kamala tries to unite the party behind her. speed to a national conversation means i don't want to do that. thank you so much. kayleigh mcenany cohost of "outnumbered" an abc headline what you may or not marijuana, the death penalty and fracking have in common? harris shifted positions on all of those. and people are cool to that? >> you can add that list medicare for all and add to that list reimagining the police, reimagining i.c.e. and they were a number of things she has shipped and on. interesting position i read this

week reporting from cnn and cnn said, "look, kamala harris had to sit down with the posters and a phone coal three weeks away and the pollsters gave her advice. i'm not listening to the posters but going with mike and stinks. we have seen what her instincts are passionate passing over josh shapiro and price controls which is widely a floor idea. her instincts are aggressive but she is trying to shield that with a veneer. will it work? >> bill: a's like abc poll up 49 and we will see how that goes in the battleground states. and they found in the polling trump leads and immigration bites and from elites and the economy by none, leads inflation by nine, the war in the middle t by five and crime by three as well. you mentioned the price control from last week and that was the equivalent of hash plunders. it didn't go over well at all. >> absolutely and i'm reminded

mario said you can't pay in government pros. prepare to overdose on poetry. that did not go well so you will see poetry, broad strokes, paintings of lowering cost without much detail or footnote how to do that. it is going to be grandiose, but it will be broad. this is where the debate for trump to nail down specifics. >> before we get to harris speech we will have a speech from joe biden tonight. he's coming in and it will be a late night but we will take you through it. senator manchin said this about biden joe biden has been pulled so far to the left after elected that it was not joe biden i knew all these years. i kept saying that and i'm hopeful that my friend have come and i have known can come back to where i know he's always been and his comfort is in the middle. he's going to hand the torch over tonight and i don't know how much politics or personal reflection or trip down memory lane we will take with him. what do you think? >> i think it will be interesting to watch and

of course he will endorse kamala harris and say all the right things. he is angry and defiant according to "the new york times." he has resentful according to cnn. this is someone pushed aside and his exit after 50 years in politics. one campaigner said he's like a shark and he wants to keep moving and going to the next step. we have seen that half a century. today, his exit, i think he will make it a graceful one, but it is not one he wanted. he did not want this exit. >> bill: i will agree with that. the insiders that got to him because he defied them for a long time. all the reporting we get and you wonder, what was the last thing? what was that piece of data? that said, you know what, this is better for me. it is better for the party. and it is better for me. >> i think he realized he would be lonely at the top of the ticket. what is interesting when you look at joe biden's legacy, it

is yet to be determined. if kamala harris wins, he is the man who gracefully stepped aside. if kamala harris loses, he is the defiant president who drowned his party and dropped out too late in the game with over just 100 days left. we will see. he will pave that legacy tonight but november will tell the story how history will view him or his party. >> dana: i don't know for biden if it was a data point as much as speaker nancy pelosi who is really the head of this party is telling you you have to go and she pushed the elephant, the older elephant into the field by himself and now he is on his own. >> she is eight speaker for a reason for the democratic party. >> dana: i bet they will not have tea anytime soon. haley, we will see you on "outnumbered." >> bill: threats to donald trump and kamala harris' campaigns. david spunt watching intriguing story as we continue to follow it out of washington be read what you have? >> good morning bill,

good morning, dana, we will continue this week with iranian threats aimed at both harris and trump's campaign and confirm iranian hacking group busy to get into dozens of emails associated with highest levels of both campaigns ringing the fbi. the cyber investigators continue to piece together the name and location of some of these hacking individuals from former president as we know have reported a target of iran since in office 2017. things intensified for him after he ordered the killing of the 12 in 2020. law enforcement protecting the former president said he's had a constant threat stream since that point. now to the protest outside of the dnc yesterday, protesters expected to intensify as the week goes on in chicago. remember last month the director of national intelligence avril haines, oversees the cia, national security agency and other said iran is behind some

of the protest efforts in the united states to sow discourse. she said come in recent weeks iranian government actors have opportunistically take advantage of protests regarding the war in gaza. using your playbook other actors have used and tied to iran's seeking to encourage protest and even providing financial support to protesters. director haynes did go on to say that of course there are legitimate protesters who have issues with u.s. policy and no ties to iran and that is fine bt she put up a statement to keep people aware iran is behind a lot of the anti-israel sentiment and perhaps we see in chicago. we will see how those protests develop over the week and if, indeed, officials in d.c. can put together and tied that to iran. back to you. >> bill: nice to see you up in washington david spunt.

more clarity from harris but what they have proven so far, biden's position or i should say biden-harris positions have been the starting point. all of the areas we would like to ask her about in a press conference, gaggle, what have you come at the good money is betting she is starting from the status quo as opposed to the positions she's had before. >> dana: back in april 25th "new york times" biden's refusal to interview to systematically avoid interviews for major news organizations does not just undermine important warmth but establishes a dangerous precedent that presidents can use for scrutiny and accountability. you could write that today about kamala harris. i know that in the interview, i think david axelrod and james carville said it will be fun. >> i think that point, that story is on point. biden set this president you don't have to talk to the press and you don't have to do interviews where you can really

limit them and she, fortunately so far is kind of following in those steps. she is doing a few things differently. when reporters are on the plane with her, she is coming back talking off of the record, and that is at least giving the reporters a sense for her. >> bill: is that why they are giving glowing red coverage? i cannot speak to what the colleagues are writing about but i will say, we never got that sense for joe biden because he never came back. so at least exposed to her sort of verbal attendance. you get a sense when she is feeling confidence when she is not and that is invaluable thing but i think you are right. this idea of press conference, not having press conferences when i'm not sure why the democratic party is embracing that so fully. >> bill: my guess is monday or tuesday we will see a sitdown interview. when you cover conventions as many years as we all have, we wonder today what you remember at the end of the week. by that, i mean, do you remember

joe biden speech on monday ni night? and he is still the sitting president. this is a remarkable time, josh you're quite wonderfully come out of here friday morning and it's all about kamala harris. you mentioned that torch has been passed. how much do republicans remember from milwaukee a month ago? >> i was in milwaukee and i can tell you, trump's speech ends the list. but you can imagine if you went on vacation in july so it's been a blur, give me credit and cut me some slack. but i think biden would be comfortable with that, to be honest. if harris -- harris has not given big speeches but of course 2020 convention truncated online covid era. i think they would like for that to be staged and we will hear from hillary clinton soon. they were some democrats who probably don't want her to be in the top building all the time for them so we will see.
