good luck to everyone traveling and watching and hoping -- thank you, nice to see you. all right, dana, what do you got? >> dana: before we go, this was neat. i saw the moon and i thought we had to pay attention, but i did not know tonight if you look up you may see a rare blue supermoon that happens once a decade we are getting ready to see it for a second year in a row. how is that possible? >> bill: that's pretty cool. >> dana: it will look a little thicker and brighter, and you will see it above the opera house of all places. >> bill: i did not see it, but i trust that it's there. >> dana: i went by the chicago opera house last night, gorgeous. have to say. good to be with you. >> bill: a good-looking town, chicago, second city. >> dana: we will be here all week. "the faulkner focus" is next. >> harris: we begin with this

fox news alert, anti-israel hate is rampant on the first day of the democratic national committee and in chicago. law enforcement, business owners, people going about their daily lives are now forced to deal with a new reality of for them where thousands of activists and their city protesting policy is a vice president kamala harris and her democratic party. right now organizers are holding a news conference ahead of what many are concerned could devolve into full-blown chaos. they are gathering in having news conferences to take questions about what they want to do. and here in the local news i've seen since i've been in chicago they are over that too. getting the messaging out saying kamala harris is not doing enough to satiate them. i am harris faulkner, you are in "the faulkner focus" live from the united center and chicago, illinois, a taste of what is to come, protesters marching through the streets was their initial demonstration here and they had permission from the

city. chicago officials are allowing a 1.1-mile route for these protesters just blocks from the dnc convention site. that's a pretty small space that will have to allot for what organizers say will be tens of thousands of people, protesters, chicago's democratic mayor brandon johnson is welcoming the dissent. >> as far as who will provide some dissent to ensure that the voices of individuals who wants the government to be better, look, that's going to happen. and in fact, we support the first amendment we have to make sure we protect the rights of individuals to be able to bring their grievances to this to the leadership and for our party to respond. spiel one democratic city leader was not happy about that, criticizing johnson's handling of the potentially dangerous situation. >> we are expecting protest to come because we have a mayor who

is openly encouraging the protesters to descend on the city of chicago, not just allowing all, but select, like not allowing the pro-israel demonstrators near the united center, but he is allowing those that are supportive of the hamas actions to be close and vocal. >> harris: alderman lopez has a point, this is political flexing by the mayor of chicago. former president donald trump posted this, the radical left protesters in chicago are going after the democratic party because they know they are weak and ready to break into a full-blown party of socialism or if they really do their job and with a little bit of luck, the communist party of the united states of america, either one of those options would be good, right? correspondent steve harrigan is live at union park in chicago and i understand that that is right on the protest route and they are already gathering, steve?

>> that's right, harris, people have been gathering from early morning come agency on the side getting ready for a press conference and ready to march. one of those major marches is scheduled for this afternoon as we have seen hundreds of signs being hanged handed out, megaphones being handed out, 200 groups involved and some much more extreme than others as they have negotiated everything from the platform to the speakers to the porta-potties to that root system about a 1 mile loop where they are allowed to walk. we will see whether they stick to that are not. some people say in chicago what's being forgotten are the hostages. here's a chicago truck driver lawrence jones who spoke this morning. >> i feel like they should know the facts about what they are saying when they say river to the sea and everything, i have never heard one person say anything about the hostages been from: since i was six years old, 28 now and he was about to who did everything, he, his brother

uncle cousin, because he did not know what to call me. but that's my guy. >> secret service and law enforcement have been preparing for these protests for a year now and even opened up courts that will work until midnight if they do have an overflow of arrests. harris, back to you. >> harris: thank you very much, steve, the democratic party returned to chicago as a return to the path with some good times and bad times in our path. one headline asked will the dnc be more disastrous like the 19681 or celebratory like 1996? doug schoen, former clinton advisors with me now and focus and doug, here we are in chicago and we are finally seeing all of this come together and vice president kamala harris is being greeted by i guess you could say it was predictable, but are you surprised at how many potentially could be here?

>> i am surprised at the vehemence and the numbers, harris. i also participated in what was called a celebratory '96 convention" that helped my clients at bill clinton when, and 68 that played a singular role in the defeat of hubert humphrey in that year's election, so this could be decisive, harris, and i will say what alderman lopez said reflects the broad feeling of much, not all, but much of the democratic party and what mayor johnson said, frankly goes well beyond the first amendment to encouraging a level of protest and discord that i think it is not helpful and not constructive. >> harris: what is the point of courting that as part of the party? when you look percentage-wise, can democrats win without them is the question and the other is can you ever really satiate them

or be enough as kamala harris vice president for three and a half years to flip the switch and do something these people want that she has not already done? >> harris, those are great questions, first you can never save these people, they want israel eliminated, they want a vast majority of that or anti-semites, and to your first question, as a practical political analyst, you are darn straight you can win without it. there might be a few voters in michigan that are potentially at risk because they are arab voters, but across the country, people want the democrats to stand up against protests, for a law and order coming in for the state of israel. and we need the hostages back, we need a peace treaty that works for the only stable democratic ally we have in the middle east and i very much hope that my party has a backbone and a spine for political reasons.

>> harris: it's interesting, you say that democratic voters want that, everyone wants that. that's part of why joe biden was losing to donald trump and potentially why kamala harris could still lose no matter what the polls say now, this is a huge issue for them and again, the question is what does she do and say on the ground? she can't just ignore it. let's move did this, some headlines, the radical protesters who plan to shut down the dnc for gaza and for "the new york post" editorial board there is this, dems deserve the anti-israel rioters they have created and excerpt here. the hamas loving chickens are coming home to roost for the democratic party. these leftist goons cannot be telling democrats any louder, we expect you to kneel to our demands and neil as all democrats have been doing instead of telling these radicals to kick rocks, they have coddled, placated, and encourage them. i don't want you to repeat yourself, let's take it in a

different direction. republicans see this and it's an opportunity to really do what they have always been doing, and that is have a great relationship with israel, have israel's back, talk about the future, how you get iran to stand on and something that when asked president biden and said i don't know if they will, but i hope so. i don't even know what that is, what is your thought about what republicans can do in this moment? >> well, i thought what president trump said last week about standing up for israel, resisting hamas, hezbollah, the iranians, the rebels was a very good and constructive statement. and to go directly to your question, kamala harris has to indicate by word and deed that she supports those policies. that she is not trying to -- 's beyond you think she will? >> no, i don't. and it makes me doubt my party in the same way i did 2016.

>> harris: you are right on said, i'm not voting for hillary clinton anywhere in the white house with her husband. so i know you meant it. one protesters said this, just a few minutes ago at the news conference, let's watch. >> joe biden allows him to do it. make no mistake, joe biden can turn off that tap of money and funding immediately. he can do it right now. he could have done it back in october. the fact that he did not to means he supports this, that he has the blood of 40,000 palestinians on his hands. >> harris: and that means kamala harris has that too and that man's opinion. so is the democratic party at a stuck point? >> yes, the democrats have to denounce people thinking like that, speeches like that. there is no choice.

that is outrageous, we need a democratic party that fulfills its historical mission to support israel and if not, then a lot of democrats like me will not be able to fully embrace the harris/walz ticket on the bottom of the ticket as well. this is a fundamental issue for jewish americans, but all americans as you quite rightly point out, harris. >> harris: that's a lot. we will see what happens and cover every second of it. glad i am here to witness this part of history. president biden will take the dnc stage tonight and it's been called what i call his final act really. after his own party shut them out of the race and remember he name checked nancy pelosi in terms of his exiting, he did drop her name in that conversation. now it's nothing but love ahead of one of the big nights. the last night politically for him. >> this is a man who has accomplished more in three and a

half years that most presidents get done and eight. so we are going to see a celebration of him. >> there will be so much love her joe biden. there is going to be tears of joy when he walks into that whole and what he has done, he literally saved our democracy in the u.s. he beat donald trump. >> joe biden i believe will go on the democratic mount rushmore with fdr, with president kennedy, with president truman and with lbj. he has also put himself in a position now to be remembered for the one job that he left, the job that he has left for kamala harris to finish as she picks up that torch and runs with it. >> harris: ahead of the president's expected hero's farewell, cnn writes this, democrats gather to enshrine their stunning turn from biden to harris. president biden will not stick around for the rest of the week's festivities we have planned. he will not hear speeches from his former boss barack obama or

house speaker nancy pelosi, those two were reportedly instrumental and kicking him out. and is reportedly still a touchy subject, you think? he will still be more than 2,00a when kamala harris accepts the democratic nomination on thursday night. a "new york times" column, the dems are delighted, but a coup is still a coup, she argues that the dnc is going to be a glorious coronation except that everyone is mad at one another. doug? wow. >> yes, i think the democrats have huge challenges, healing the wounds, but also something else, harris, looking at a vision and specific policy is that so far we have not heard. it's all well and good to talk about passing the torch, but if we have no idea what that torch is being passed to accomplish her for what reasons, it is a hollow victory. >> harris: really quickly, i'm

thinking in that speech which will be on a teleprompter, we can see the set up from here. that's not just similar to others that have accepted the nomination and both parties, that's not the point. the point is if it does not have what you're talking about in it, she is not likely to ad lib. it in any way. really quick last thought. >> yes, this is a totally scripted process. i think the democrats will probably get a modest benefit from going into labor day, by four, five, six points. but the real campaign will start september 10th with the debate when she has to get off the teleprompter and confront her principal adversary, president donald trump. >> harris: we have heard it, concerned i may be a little disbelief and what lies ahead for your political party, the democrats. i always appreciate you, so good to see you. 11 people were shot here and chicago this weekend, saturday and sunday when we were arriving

here, some are fleeing the city after 100 years of democratic leadership, and underneath it, violence, economic despair, more violence, plus a border crisis is a top issue for voters. we know that anand has been for pretty much the whole presidency of joe biden and the vice presidency of harris. marsha blackburn says the blame is at the top. speak at the biden/harris border policy has been an open border. now they are having to say, let's do something about it, because it is election time. it's beyond democrats seem to be spinning in overdrive to defend the vice president kamala harris, but polls show americans don't believe a word of it. gianno caldwell in focus next. if you love to save, check out the wise buys sales event going on right now at america's best — get two pairs of progressives for just $129.95.

>> harris: the democrats have arrived in chicago to celebrate vice president kamala harris becoming their official nominee, although they did that by digital roll call a couple of weeks ago or something. went all around the voters, but they will make it super, super official now. all this despite the biden/harris administrations border crisis raging on and dogging kamala harris' campaign. one democrat is defending her. and at senator mark kelly from the border state of arizona. kelly was reportedly on her short-list for a possible running mate and did not make it, obviously, here he is. >> she has been focused on this issue where the former president is trying to undermine her border security. >> do you think vice president harris understands this issue? >> yes, she does. absolutely. and i think what we talk about some of the democrats in the

united states senate that weren't really getting end in 2022, now they get it. does not actually want to fix this, kamala harris will fix this problem. >> harris: she gets it, but she does not want to fix it. in "new york post" opinion piece says the vice president "it can't escape the human toll of her dismal border record." and a new poll shows voters favor donald trump by ten points on this key issue of immigration. gianno caldwell. so it's interesting to see mark kelly of arizona saying that republicans don't understand the issue i want to do anything about it when we know she doesn't and has not done anything about it. >> i mark kelly is right and she understands the issues and my question to her and her administration is do you care about your fellow citizen? but the first time in american history recently we have had 100,000 people overdose from a drug. we are talking about fentanyl

coming across the border and american citizens who are hurting right now, the credit card debt is over a trillion dollars, the first time in history we have seen these numbers because of inflation and then the city of new york they spent over $5.5 billion for migrant services. and the state of illinois, $3 billion, that does not include education costs and some of the local costs for illinois. this is a major issue that is impacting all of us. it should be an american-first conversation. i understand other countries may need help, but we need more help right here, our own people. >> harris: we were in chicago just a short time ago a couple of weeks ago here for the national association of black journalists, and former president trump was center stage for an interview and i asked him about jobs and illegal immigration during that interview, here's part of it. >> i want to talk about why you are here today, i mean, it is not lost on us how divided we are as a country. and as you were coming today, we

really got to see we were divided along the lines of race, along the lines of gender and there is this question of in this moment where we are, why come here? what is your message today? >> my message is to stop people from invading our country that are taking a lot of problems with it, but a lot of the journalists in this room i know and have great respect for. a lot of journalists in this room are black. i will tell you that coming from the border are millions and millions of people, the first group of people, the bl black population has happened is that, and kamala is allowing it to happen. the worst border saw in the history of the world, they are taking black dogs and hispanic jobs and frankly, union jobs.

unions have been very effective by the people that are pouring into our country. and as we discussed, many of these people are coming in from mental institutions, from prisons, from jails, they are gang members and other countries. >> harris: i should say this, because our audience will be able to hear the mic checks and things they are doing on stage here at the united center. they are getting ready to open up the dnc conventional for this 2020 year. so ford about what donald trump has to say? >> first and foremost, you did a spectacular job, thank you for your journalism at a very high level for those who were able to see per president trump is right, said things that people in chicago have been saying at city council meetings, we will vote for donald trump because you don't care about the issue with a real quick antidote,

people have been talking about black jobs, my grandfather and construction no money made good money years ago and he would talk how people would use illegal immigrant help and pay them no money, basically. and then they would undercut him for business. he is saying that they are stealing the black people's jobs, back in the '90s with me. it resonates more than anything else and we have to ensure that our citizens are the ones that benefit from our government more than anyone else. >> harris: look, we already know that oppositional you politics are going to pick up on certain words and on kamala harris' side on the left side of the political aisle, they are running a campaign and are going to pick up on words like that so they can divide us further by race and as you gape by personal experience and that of your dads, it's a ridiculous try, but they will keep doing it. look, chicago has had this over and over, a deadly weekend, a

dangerous weekend. this time 11 people were shot in front of the dnc which is stretching people thin in the business ranks. and businesses are boarded up and they fear, those business owners that thousands of protesters in the city will mean looting and the city, destruction and the city. and chicago has had the second highest homicide rate among major city as last year. money jacobson was murdered in chicago last year. she told fox & friends, jacobs' son. she told fox & friends she is looking for police about her son's death. >> i know my son, we know them. and you can't tell me, thinking i will let that go, because that's not what happened. and i know you know more, but you don't call me to update me

about anything. and i think it's unfair that i have to keep calling you, but he is the top case in their priority, but how could you not reach out to me and keep me updated about what you are finding out? thank you, you know? it's hard. so i see the things that me and my kids have to see, it's just hard. how can i vote for somebody who i don't feel like has my back? this crime has been going on for decades and it's getting sickening. so why her parents on tv crying about the loss of their child? 's be on there so much they are. we play for money jacobs, of course. and it's been decades and decades of the same thing as she said all under blue leadership, all under democrats, something has to change. >> how can your heart not break seeing a mother in pain. and it reminds me of my family at the tragedy we experience june 24th 2 years ago when my innocent brother was murdered on the streets of chicago, me

recognizing to her point, these progressive policies have been the cause for many of the deaths we have seen in the city of chicago. this is why i created the caldwell institute for public safety to go after these progressive elected officials who are so in chaos through their policy is, and people right now or in the city of chicago and a lot of journalists there, they are probably wondering, where's all the crime? well, they have roped it off with much security and law enforcement and the benefits the people of sick kids city of chicago do not have, i've tweeted a link for people who want to take a look about what's going on in the city and we have to change this dynamic that will start with us. >> harris: i think about your brother and your family, beautiful christian, gone. and you are in a group of people now, like money jacobs and so many others, july 4th, 109 people shot in one holiday weekend in the city. i pray for all of you. good to see you, my friend.

thank you. >> thank you, my friend. >> harris: critics are furious. there is a mobile clinic here at the dnc that is offering free abortions, and vasectomies. and it's right next to us here. and they say they can just keep it moving i guess while they offer some services. i don't know how that will work. plus vice president kamala harris has revealed something of an economic plan, loads of criticism from both sides of the political aisle and all along the ideological spectrum. with bugs, the struggle-is-real. that's why you need zevo traps. zevo works 24/7 to attract and trap flying insects. for effortless protection.

afford groceries, democrats lined up to defend it. >> i think people are reading too much into what has been put out there. >> this is not about trying to price fix it's making sure the economy is operating in the it should that this is supply and demand which we all respect. it's no different than what teddy roosevelt did in breaking up monopolies. >> vice president harris is simply saying we have to make sure that markets are properly functioning. that's the american way. >> harris: fox business is edward lawrence's life for us at the top, if you raise everybody's ability to buy a house by giving them free $25,000 to put down, why in the world wouldn't do sellers want to raise their prices to make even more money and make that price higher? but the interest rates won't come down necessarily, they certainly won't go back to 3%, so you're going to pay whatever you do on that house for longer

and more each month because the interest rates are so high. it does not take a lot of math, because i can figure it out. >> and it will increase demand, that's a problem that it would increase the demand, pushing the prices up, that's been the issue here, now it's been a cleanup basically on aisle six for the reception from this economic plan from republicans, but many democrats, you see cleaning up the circuits of economic messes, not only tighter self more closely to buy it in economics but pitching more spending for the federal budget says the vice president can make plans all and add 2.1 trillion to the federal deficit over the next ten years. >> the first role is that you stop taking, there are going to be new priorities, and a question. so we should figure out how are we going to pay for it? and then we need to go beyond that and figure out, how are we going to actually dig up, how are we going to climb out of the hole we are in?

and that will require real deficit reduction. >> even some prominent democrats pushing back against the vice president's plans even especially talking about expanding the ftc authority and going after price gouging which could lead to price controls. trump sarah gets also confused. >> it's astonishing to me that there is a major party out there that is about to have a big convention that wants to get everybody all hyped up to support their candidate and they are proposing things that pretty much caused most of the misery of the 20th century. >> with the committee for federal budget looking at former president trump's plans, no tax on tips, first mentioned by donald trump at the copy for the vice president adding 200 billion over the deficit in ten years, the big expense though it is tax on social security, but the 10% tariffs on goods the former president wants would cover the shortfall's deficit and kathy got if congress looks at the tax cuts, then the plans for both candidates, the numbers go more into the negative, back to you.

>> harris: that's interesting, 700 billion and deficit reduction, but they would have to do something a little different you are saying with the tax cuts under donald trump if he were to do that. fascinating and i love digging down into it with you. and thank you. vice president kamala harris with this when she was asked about all of her economic proposals. >> well, you look at it in terms of what we are talking about for example around children, and the child tax credit, the return on that investment in terms of what that will do on what it will take will be tremendous. we have seen it when we did it first of our administration, reduce child poverty by over 50%. it's a mistake for any person who talks about public policy to not critically evaluate how you measure the return on investment. you are strengthening neighborhoods, strengthening community's and particularly the economy of those community's and investing on a broad based economy, everybody benefits and it pays for itself in that way.

>> harris: marc thiessen is here, fox news contributor coming ahead her husband in the background, vice president, or vice presidential candidate and his wife they are out there to hear her, as that campaign simply enough that people got that? >> this is an absolute word salad, that one of the things i learned as a white house speechwriter is if you say things that are contradicted by the vitriol of the american people they will tune you out and read deck you, so what is it right now? i can give you the problem with the biden/harris economy and two statistics. on their watch we have gone from the highest personal savings ever recorded in american history to the highest personal debt, so if she has the deciding vote for the american rescue plan which was a $1.9 trillion spending plan that unleashed their worst inflation and four decades, and americans at that point had 2.1 trillion in excess savings and their savings account because of the pandemic and began spending at down at a clip of $70 billion a

month until in march they ran out and had at the same time they were lifting up and starting to build up their credit card debt, personal debt, that reached a record of $17.8 trillion under biden/harris up 3.15 under the administration, credit card debt is to record 1.14 trillion for the first time and 60% of americans are using credit card debt payday loans, borrowed money to pay for the groceries right now. that's what they unleash in the american people. she does not get why it happened. >> harris: and organizations that try to give people credit counseling are over one right now, reporting they don't have enough people that counseled the people on debt. democrats are saying that abortion should be safe, legal, and rare, now they are actually free, planned parenthood has a mobile clinic here at the dnc were near the building of the convention that offers access to medical abortions, vasectomies

at no cost, so men and women can come depending on what you want to do and get it for free. planned parenthood's website says appointments for both are already filled up, so there is a waiting list, republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene posted, i thought this was fake, but it's not. it's hard to even comprehend and it's truly heartbreaking. >> so the democrats used to treat abortion as a necessary legal, safe, legal, and rare, and out something to be celebrated. the first vice president ever to campaign at an abortion clinic. so it's not a big jump for them to now be providing free abortions at the democratic national committee end. the democratic orthodoxy has been abortion, taxpayer-funded abortion up until the moment of birth is the policy and is a minor my norio terrien position. there's a fraction that agree with that. donald trump is right in saying they are the abortion extremists and we should be campaigning on this and painting them as the abortion extremis.

when they are offering free abortions at the convention, there's something deeply morally wrong with your party. >> harris: on our things to expect to live at the dnc, americans for contraception are set to hoist at 4:00 p.m. eastern or local, an inflatable iud balloon blocks away from the dnc convention in chicago. that could be live. go ahead and say it. >> they are people out there protesting in abortion pill costumes. literally. >> harris: marc thiessen, thank you. these are tough subjects. we have to talk about them. 29 days and counting, no sitdown interview or news conference from the vice president. she promised one was coming, but still nothing. not on the calendar yet, power panel next. with fastsigns, create factory grade visual solutions to perfect your process. ♪

>> harris: vice president kamala harris and donald trump holding rallies over the weekend and the fight for the battleground states is now red-hot, although democrats might say it is blue. the most recent polling average has trump up in that state by a razor-thin margin. so you can see it on your screen there. a new national poll has kamala harris up by four points overall, but when it comes to

the top issues, trump leads. if the say they trust trump more on the economy, the border, crime, the hamas war -- that's a lot of categories. cnn anchor john lennon appeared surprised when those in new jersey said this. >> we are here in jersey, atlantic city, and trump for the win. >> does it have anything we're doing a woman? >> no. >> why don't you like harris? >> she does not have any experience. >> she is a vice president and a senator. >> no. >> i want donald trump. i just feel we need somebody with a stronger background with the military, and the world in general. >> she was a prosecutor and an attorney general and senator and a vice president. >> four years was better. it made a lot more money than i do now. >> i know you feel that way, but that's not what the record shows. the economy is better under

biden. >> harris: don lemon trying to talk people out of what they are personally experiencing is funny unless it's happening to you. charlie hurt, "washington times" opinion editor and fox news contributor. brad howard, boy, i have to tell you. you go down to the boardwalk, we were just in the short area, and my family last week and coming to talk with people in their small businesses, they are teaching them front and center about this economy, they will give you an earful if you talk to them just like don lemon dead. so what do you say from your party's perspective on kamala's new economic proposals? >> it's just part of a longer agenda she will roll out between now and the election. and you will see more from the convention, and preview what she will do, a lot of what they have done. inflation is coming down, the economy and employment/unemployment at record lows. we have to pivot to the future and i think you will hear a lot about it in the next four days. >> harris: you know, i like you. that was a lot of talking points, and you said the word

they a lot. you did not say the vice president. you did not say kamala harris, you did not say she or her, is she able to lay this out on her own? >> absolutely, this is a party convention. the demo credits -- democrats are more united behind two things, defeating donald trump and electing kamala harris as the next president. >> i would give her credit for one thing and that's that the party has switch last week from telling people, there is, your economy is great to acknowledging that inflation is hurting people. and that's a step in the right direction. >> harris: no offense to don lemon. >> exactly, the problem is that the reason we are in the situation we are in, is she has vice president, her policies have been what caused the economy that people are suffering under and obviously, she has enjoyed three weeks of unprecedented propaganda, which is very helpful for her, but i think after this week, she will get another week of it this week

it, but after this week we will talk about those hard issues and i think that there will be things with the picture in the national polling change. >> harris: it's been 29 days since she formally announced and took her bosses job atop the ticket for the democratic nomination, and we still have not seen a formal news conference or a sitdown interview with vice president kamala harris. she did once answer questions a new informal questions from reporters in pennsylvania, in fact we showed you a little bit about her taking those on the trail questions. once cnn host called her out for the media avoidance. >> kamala harris is not indestructible. she has served as an undistinguished nearly invisible vice president. >> thus far harris has had a free ride. she has not given any media interviews or has not faced a vote or questioning. sooner or later she will be held accountable and face pressure that she has thus far largely avoided. >> harris: nearly invisible,

but it is working for kamala harris in the polls right now, sooner or later, the day that you mention, all of y'all that are helping her, you have to sit down and she has to stand up stand up. >> and she will do, but we will see how that rolls out, most voters have not worked for the vice president, they knew about it and not a much better story than her background as she has been telling that story reminding folks that she is a prosecutor taking down convicted felons, explaining her biography and introducing herself to voters and as they are hearing that they are responding in numbers are going up, she has to enact on the support, who is floundering before that. >> harris: do you think you can convince those people outside and told to expect by the very organizations that have gotten them together, tens of thousands of people outside on the doorsteps of these conventions, can you convince them this is not a jewish skating party? >> you will not be able to commence everyone, but a large percentage of the crowd understands that donald trump will not be helpful to the

palestinian people and kamala harris will have a sympathetic ear and allow you to protest and then make a rational -- >> and i don't know if you caught the nuance, she has to convince them they are not jewish shading and stand up for the jewish state no matter what they do in the street. >> she will stand up for the jewish state. >> she does not want to answer those questions, one person she has failed to convince is sitting pennsylvania senator john fetterman who is probably one of the most high-profile democrats in the country, and he has not even coming to the convention, ending undercurrent for that is its over the lurched to the left on israel. spin on any last word, i will give it to you? >> i think that's a bridge they will have to figure out some way to get, and to these protests we see this week are not going to help them. >> harris: brad, you said on this program during the commercial that shiny objects of the free abortions and those things will keep us from hearing about those issues, we will see. >> that was more his point, but my point was that democrats

would rather talk about abortion and reproductive care than the palestinians. >> harris: i think you are right.
