too long ago. this hour we are learning that the democrat master platform has been released could i just save it to my desktop. they are falling at the final master platform which contains nearly 20 references to president joe biden's second term. i surmise we will see some editing there. maybe there is something we don't know. we will learn more as the day progresses. our entire fox lineup is here live in chicago for the dnc. our special coverage of day one of vents begins at 10:00 p.m. eastern time ahead of president biden's big speech. he is beginning of the end of his exit from his national political life. 52 years on the political scene and tonight he exits. five months left to go in his term. tune into fox news for the best analysis in the business. stick with us tonight. ♪ ♪

>> finally the day is here. august 19th and the entire world is watching. >> there is a horrific of palestinians taking place that is being aided and abetted by the democratic party leadership and its representatives in joe, killer kamala harris, and baby killer a blanket. >> sandra: a live look from chicago as anti-israel protesters swarmed that city threatening to disrupt the democratic national convention. they are bracing for chaos. that is a crowd that is growing in size by the hour. i am sandra smith in new york. >> john: and i am john roberts in washington. this is "america reports." "the new york post" besting the frenzy in chicago as a case study in democratic leadership. >> sandra: this weekend alone

at least 33 people were shot in that city with a one man gunned down just blocks from the convention site. a chaotic backdrop for a party trying to prop up a new nominee. >> john: president biden speaking tonight as the dnc's keynote speaker where he will have to rally support from the party that effectively forced him off of the ballot. leo terrel on the chaos in the windy city. jacqui heinrich live from the convention with everything that we can expect tonight. >> sandra: we will get to them in moments but we'll begin with steve who is live on the ground there in chicago as these protests are ongoing. what are we seeing and hearing so far and what is expected? >> the crowds are getting bigger and louder. it is a real hodgepodge of different groups. basically if you hate the u.s. for some reason your group is here today in union park in chicago. those are some u.s. philippines groups, we have seen and the korean war, weaves and communists, bring down capitalism, but most all over

and over again we are seeing pro-palestinian protesters. people who are anti-israel protesters. the police and the secret service have been preparing for potential violence here for the past year. they say they are ready for it. any signs of violence such as throwing things or destroying property will lead it to immediate arrest. >> it's important to understand that our job is to uphold the constitution and that is exactly what we are going to do. what we will not tolerate as vandalism to our city. what we will not tolerate his violent activity. if we see that, we will put an end to it quickly. >> a lot of storeowners said they've been through it before or after the george floyd riots in 2020 so they are boarding up and not taking any chances. this march is supposed to kick off in about an hour's time and we will see if these protesters will be content with marching

around a 1 mile circle over and over again or will they try to push the envelope a little further. back to you. >> sandra: okay. just pointing out where exactly you are, union park there in chicago for us steve. one of the sites where the protests are growing. thank you very much. >> john: president biden is going to give tonight's dnc keynote speech. less than 30 days ago he expected to be accepting his party's nomination. this coming thursday. jacqui heinrich is live in chicago. she has more on all of this and jackie a lot of biden supporters coming out of the woodwork today with thoughts about how the president is feeling about all of this. >> it's going to be an interesting night for them but even more interesting, tonight the delegates are going to vote to approve the democratic party platform. it was just released today. here's the thing. it still contains 19 references to president biden's second t term. it was evidently voted out of

committee before he dropped out and they evidently did not change it. we have asked the dnc and harrises team if they have planned to change it in the works. we are waiting to hear back and we will let you know what we hear. but there's another side of how hurried to hand off as that. the campaign website does not even have a policy section on it. they have bios for harris and walz, donate, and a merch shop and attempt to volunteer. they gave abc news this explanation. >> the more details you share, the more your policies are going to get picked apart but she is saying i trust the american people, i trust the journalists to explain these policies and our values to folks and when that happens, it will be successful for democrats. >> that's not normal. in 2016 and hillary clinton had 200 policies it spelled out for her run. in 2020 biden had a 100 page document and he never got this kind of celebration because of

the pandemic and at this convention which would have been his nomination four weeks ago he is now just the opening act. lawmakers can't avoid questions about what the party did to biden because tonight and only tonight it's about him. >> i think president biden just made one of the most selfless decisions of any elected official i have ever seen. and choosing to step aside and let his trusted and valued vice president step forward as our standard bearer for the selection. he always wanted to be a transition to the next generation of leadership. speak out that is also not entirely true. just a month ago the president was justifying his decision to abandon his pledge to serve as a bridge saying that the gravity of the challenges that this country is facing demands a qualified leader and his 50 years in politics made him that person. tonight he is going to explain his decision to step aside.

it is a speech he has given before to a camera in the oval office in the last time he addressed a roomful of lawmakers was the state of the union when he was launching his reelection bid. this is going to be quite an interesting night tonight. >> john: we will have a chance to ask senator coons about whether or not biden always planned to be a transition president when we speak with him in our next hour. jackie, thank you for taking that up for us. >> sandra: looking forward to bringing in leo terrel of civil rights attorney and fox news contributor onset today. good to have you here. it is tough to differentiate between what is happening to businesses that have had to board up and close because of the economic peril of that city but there's also businesses who have put up boards because they fear the growing protests that we are seeing in that city. this is some of the boarded-up businesses. we took this video on sunday. you go back to this live shot. this is union park west of the city right by where the convention is happening there.

apparently it is about a mile away and the number of protesters is growing and we had raymond lopez who is a democrat alderman in that city on this program yesterday. he said this is being encouraged by that city's mayor. listen here. >> we have a mayor who is openly encouraging the protesters to defend on the city of chicago. he is allowing select protesters for you have the mayor saying we can handle this and businesses are boarding up because they know we can't. >> sandra: it's only monday and we'll see where it goes. your thoughts. >> the pro-hamas group out there, they have the mayor's blessing. here's the reason why. he doesn't encourage law enforcement. i have been on your show and numerous tough times. where's the arrest and wears a conviction and where's the imprisonment. this is state level. if they arrest everyone tonight they will be released. where is the federal government involved in federal charges?

all of these rallies, these riots, these protests, when it comes to this hamas group, it is the democrats are going to appease the left wing of the party. >> this is no cash bail. they will take that stage and he will tout dell and got policies that led to the chaos into the crime of that city been suffering. look no further than this mo mother. this is a chicago mother whose son died and she talks about what she wants to see from leadership. listen. >> focus more on helping. we are losing babies. we aren't losing the elderly as fast as we are losing our young people. they are getting a chance to grow up. i will never know what it feels like to have a grandchild from him. we are losing our future. >> sandra: we grieve with her.

an incredible interview with our own lawrence jones. we are losing babies. who is listening to her? >> no one. and the democrats have controlled chicago for 50 years per you have a black mayor he was preceded by a black mayor. you have black on black crime. black on black crime is not a priority within the democrat party unless there is a white police officer involved. this goes on every weekend and you have this crime. that's the elephant in the room. with the democrats have done as they have taken the black community for granted. that woman won't get justice and she won't get any form of satisfaction because it is a low priority among the democrat party and what else is happening is that they are not taking any action. they are not going to. >> sandra: miranda devine has a message to voters on democrats and that city with her headline crime filled chicago displays all that is wrong with democrats and one failing city and the message of this week's dnc as we will make america more like chicago than run for the hills. after 100 years of democratic

rule, the windy city is a basket case and guess what anybody who has been able to stay in that city because they had to work or they couldn't afford to leave, they are getting priced out of it. they have quadrupled property taxes for anybody who still lives there. people can't even afford to stay. >> the mayor destroyed the city. he does not believe in the criminal justice system at all and he wants to rehabilitate criminals and murderers an rapists and democrats in that city are in peril. >> sandra: a once great city, and from there, and it's tough to see what has happened there. great to have you here. thank you so much. we have been watching these live shots. this is union park. i think this is just shy of a mile away from the convention there from the united center. it is west of the city, obviously. it seems to be growing in

number. this is just monday and the kickoff to the convention so we will see what happens as far as the protests, the number of protesters that show up. to the alderman's point when he joined us yesterday, he says as a democrat he feels that the mayor in that city has encouraged this. >> john: he did say unlike richard daley who said it shoot to kill the arsonists and shoot to maim the looters, johnson is taking a different tone. he wants there to be dialogue, he wants her to be cooperation. let's see how that changes if and when the protesters make their way downtown to where the united center is paired i remember 1996 the last time chicago hosted a democratic convention. it was grant park that was the center of all of the protests. things get pretty spirited. they didn't get that far out of hand and as was feared that they might like they did in 1968 in grant park but we will see as the hours and days progress

exactly where these protesters go. >> sandra: we will be watc watching. >> john: president biden heading to chicago this hour for the dnc after his own party gave him the heave-ho and one "new york times" columnist making it perfectly clear reminding everyone that "a coup is still a coop." plus this. >> house republicans have wasted a year and a half of the american people's time on a vengeful politically motivated stunt. none of it turning up any evidence of impeachable offenses by president biden. >> sandra: house republicans putting out a report as they make the case to impeach president biden. our political panel will be joining us live in moments.

accusing president biden of committing at least two offenses that would justify his impeachment. the report accusing biden of engaging in abuse of power and obstruction of justice related to lucrative over received's business dealings by his family. they advise the dnc during the 2020 election is a former republican chairman of the house oversight committee. good day to both of you. this is a report from your old committee oversight as well as judiciary and the house ways and means. it says the biden family made at least $27 million since 2014 and says in part the following. this pattern of conduct insured his family and provided no legitimate services lived a lavish lifestyle. it reflects a family selling the biden brand around the world with president biden the big guy swooping in to seal the deal on speakerphones or private din dinners. a chosen effort to conceal president biden's investment in the families peddling scheme. the committee says that this is impeachable conduct but the

question a lot of folks have is now that he is out of the race, will democrats continue to shield him or his biden on his own? >> once again the most unpredictable majority in our nation's history is to manufacture outrage around president biden when he had nothing to do with his son. quite frankly the republican majority should be focused on dealing with the issues that matter to the american people. we have had republicans cry out loud that there is nothing impeachable here when it comes to president biden. they want to impeach him for simply being a father. and that's a big distraction and the reason is they have not passed meaningful legislation that would benefit the american people including the republicans who make up now the most in the congress. >> john: jason you used to chair oversight back in mid-2010s. what do you think of the report? >> nice try. the reality is the bidens were

taking in tens of millions of dollars selling access, providing access, getting president biden and vice president biden on the phone in meetings and having golf and providing access to the white house and getting him into meet with the officials at the white house. they were doing it in china, they were doing it and romania, they were doing it in other parts of the world. that was the family business. there were tens of millions of dollars flowing and to bury her head in the sand and say this doesn't matter i think one of the most egregious parts of this is the idea that the biden department of justice they are shut down the irs investigators. u.n. irs investigators, career professionals, not republican partisans doing their job and they were not allowed to do it. they were told to stand down. >> john: we continue to see if this goes anywhere. i wanted to turn you to the

evening because it will be a very important evening. biden speech is being described as a bittersweet moment. i imagine it is more bitter than sweet. >> i disagree with that. the president will go down in history as the most consequential and transformational president and all of our lifetime and the reason being because everything he has done has benefited the american people. not just democrats, not just those who voted for him. that's why in so many cases the bipartisan legislation that is now into law, even when washington, d.c., republicans voted no they went back home in their districts and took credit because these issues he prioritized as president were american issues because he has been an american president and he united this country and we are so proud of president biden for his dedicated service to our country. >> a lot of democrats saying we are so proud of him. thank god he is leaving the stage. here's the way maureen dowd framed it in her column on

saturday. she said the dems are delighted but a coup is still a coup. it will be a glorious coronation except everyone is mad at one another even though it was the right thing to do because joe biden was not going to be able to campaign much less serve as president for another four years in a fully vital way it was a jaw-dropping push. he will delve into his decision to withdraw tonight. how do you think you will frame it? will he frame it as a willing passing of the torch or more like caesar would describe the ides of march? >> i think the democrats are trying to rewrite history to suggest he is the most consequential democrat. more consequential than obama? then president clinton? you think is more consequential than that? there's a lot of us who don't think he did anything to accomplish that. it's a struggle. the world is on fire, the border is open, crime is out of control, and inflation? we have no plan.

it has gotten worse under him and not better. other than that. >> that's not true jason. that's not true peered. >> it is true. everything one of those is true. jason. jason, can i just remind you a bit. last week we saw that inflation is down to the lowest point sent april. >> it is not down. >> that is true. you debate the economist that put out the information, not with me because i am giving you facts. >> inflation accumulates. and so it is more like 20%. it builds on each other. and under donald trump it was never, ever above 3%. ever. so you can try to spin it all you want and say it is down from 9%, but he drove it to 9% with his excessive spending. i want kamala harris to try to even define what inflation is. she doesn't know what it is let alone how to solve it. >> gentlemen, a lot still to chew over in the days ahead

peered one thing we can say is inflation may be coming down but prices have not. antoine and jason, thanks. >> sandra: as we have been we are monitoring these growing protests. anti-israel protests are underway in chicago as the dn say gets underway. we will be watching for all of this. law enforcement has been warned that this could get chaotic. we are watching it. plus this. >> kamala harris is a woman who broke this economy and open up our board appeared she will be the one to fix our economy. vehicle vice president, harrises economic plan getting major push back. what the price control agenda could do to the economy and your wallet. moneyman charles payne helps answer that question coming up next. ♪ ♪ with so many choices on booking.com there are so many tina feys i could be. so i hired body doubles to help me out.

>> you can't pay more than $2.50 for milk and if you do we will charge the grocery store with some criminal act. >> it leads to shortages, it leads to black markets. plenty of uncertainty. >> is this plan to ban price gouging any more than a gimmick? >> john: the reviews seem to be n. vice president harrises economic plan includes price control as inflation runs rampant in america but intervention on grocery prices would cripple small businesses. moneyman charles payne standing by to break down the economic plan but first kelly's a very live in city. how exactly would harass control food prices if she became president? >> there is no plan as of right now. we have looked at the facts

sheets when she announced her economic policy ideas and as she has no details on how she would do it. this is leading to a lot of criticism. not just from economists but also from local grocery store owners who are looking at how small the profit margins already are appeared in the grocery industry we have seen them hit the lowest level since 2019. that is a 1.6% and people like barbara eastman tell me that they cannot squeeze these profit margins any tighter. you have been with happy foods for a while. you have been in the grocery game. when you heard about harrises idea to fix prices and to stop price gouging what went through your head? >> i thought she was trying to throw things against the wall and see what sticks. they can't squeeze much more between that and a minimum wage hikes that we get. nothing else. it can't go. >> you were talking to me about the different factors that go into changing prices at the grocery store. what have you been seeing? i know eggs have been a hot topic throughout the past few

years that have contributed to this that she is not really looking at when creating this plan. speak out you have to be able to raise and lower prices as they come in. eggs go up and down every week. we have the commodity eggs that came in and because of the avian flu there is no supply. they are at that price now for selling peered we can adjust that. if you have fixed prices, what do you do? the government comes in and says you are out of line and they write a fine. can't do that. as a grocer you need to be able to adjust daily. >> thank you barb. good to see you. there's a lot of things that go into this. there's unpredictability of farming like she mentioned pure disease outbreak and also weather events that can happen. plus the cost of transportation and shipping the items to the store. as barb tells me, there's a lot of things that need to be considered that she just has not seen put on paper just yet. back to you.

>> john: kelly, thank you. >> sandra: charles payne joining us with making money on fox business. i couldn't wait to talk to you today and by the way smart lady at the grocery store there. she is saying what everyone else is thinking. >> she is very diplomatic. >> sandra: plain and simple you can't do that. it would kill her business. milton friedman won a nobel prize for economics in 1976. two years later he was delivering a speech and said that's. it's really important in the middle of all of this. >> it is a device that governments have repeatedly resorted to to try to cover up the effects of their own policies. it is offered as a cure for inflation. it is not a cure for inflation, it has never been a cure for inflation. >> sandra: and that is true today. price controls a device that governments have repeatedly resorted to to try to cover up the effect of their own failed

policies. >> in this particular case the biden-harris modern monetary theory is the $1.9 trillion the economy did not need, another trillion dollars for the inflation reduction act, more money here and more money there. don't pay this, don't pay that. they created a groundswell of inflation that to be quite frank i don't think anyone thought could ever come back. 42 your high inflation and we have only compounded the cpi number last week people said it was good. as long as these numbers keep going up it is not good because it adds to it and adds to it. the pain and misery of everyone in this country outside of the most fortunate it's pretty clear. with this device you get to things. you get not only deflecting your involvement, their fingerprints, biden-harris' fingerprints, some of it belongs to the fed but of the majority to them. money that was poured into the economy that was not learned about was spent. >> sandra: we need to remind everybody that we are seeing her

pitch policies to try to cure the high prices that resulted of her intro and joe biden's policies. since harris when she made the announcement. >> i will work to work to make the first ever price gouging on food. prices are still too high. a loaf of bread it costs if 2% more today than it did before the pandemic. ground beef is up almost 50%. >> sandra: those price gains happen over the past three years. under her watch. and by the way she said price gauge income achievement price gouging which led me to another question in all of this. if this does not sound good to "the new york times," it doesn't sound good to "the washington post" who came down hard on this or any economist left or right, who pitched her on this? who put it in front of her, who is advising her, and why did she

think it sounded good enough to pitch it to the american voter? >> pitching politics of envy, anti-corporation corporate greed has always been in the democratic playbook. that is not new. in that case it was these greedy corporations are taking your money. i will come to the rescue. that's not new. that's deeply embedded in the playbook. i saw mark sandy and axios to today, i like him as a person but i think he is rubber-stamping a lot of the vanity is in the biden-harris administration and we know there's been a lot because from jason furman to others they said don't do this and don't do that. larry summers, please don't do $1.9 trillion. they predicted we would be here. he's a chief economist so he has the title and he has the cachet. today he argued that if kamala harris, president harris could get home builders to make

all of these low priced homes, it would be a pretty good idea to have 25,000. some of these ideas. >> sandra: if it was economically beneficial to those homebuilders to doing so they would do it. if they thought they could profit in this environment. they cannot. the resources, the timber, everything has gone up in price. >> and regulations as well. >> sandra: i want to finish with this. they are transitioning from the biden team today harris team now. to the point of who is advising who. this is what he said march 7th defending bidenomics and what he is now saying today defending harris' economic pitch. >> middle out and bottom up economics focusing on working families, working on manufacturing and investing in the united states has led it to a resilient and equitable recovery. we are going to be looking for a legal behavior, negative unfair

behavior where you are taking advantage of a crisis to jack up profits at the expense of working families. >> sandra: to milton friedman's point, are they doing this to cover up their own policies? he's making a pitch to fix what is broken over the past three and half years. >> look at the producer prices and the ppi to producer price index versus the cpi. vertically all producer prices have been higher than consumer prices. they weave in and out but for the most part this is significantly higher than this number. this is what they are paying to create the product to sell to the consumer. if it was all about praise engaging, gouging, it would be this way. they would be paying so little and charging the american public so much. and we know our business. it's so far-fetched. >> sandra: robert wolf was on here yesterday. a democrat. he advised obama and he is

talking to the harris team. he made the point that this is already law in 37 states. >> 40. >> sandra: last i checked it was 37. that's great. he's making the case for it at the federal level but if it is already law in 37, 40 states, where is the evidence that price gouging is happening? they would be held accountable if it was. you have five seconds. >> every state has its own definition. >> sandra: absolutely true. >> the grocery store makes 2% profit. is that gauging or gouging? >> sandra: you are the best. >> john: the trick is to gauge the gouging. breaking news out of the middle east. antony blinken in israel what he is saying now about a potential movement on a cease-fire deal. general keith kellogg to head with his analysis. >> sandra: and former president donald trump delivering her parts on the economy. that is happening a short time

>> what is most crucial now is that everyone, everyone will refrain from taking any actions that could fuel further conflict, escalate tensions, and result in the spreading of violence and conflict. >> sandra: that breaking news out of the middle east and the status of a potential cease-fire. fox team coverage right now for you. general keith kellogg is standing by but first let's get right to alex hogan who is live in tel aviv for us. what is the latest from there?

>> after hours of meetings with israel's president, the defense minister, and the prime minister, u.s. secretary u.s. blink and says israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has agreed to the current proposal on the table. he is also calling on hamas tonight to take action. moving forward, hamas would need to agree to this proposal and it would be up to negotiators to really implement it. he will travel to egypt, cairo tomorrow. that's where they will continue to meet as a discuss the plans, the ins and outs of what all of this means. it also comes as he tonight says there are severe concerns and disagreements of how to implement this process. for example one of the sticking points are the displaced palestinians. what hamas wants is for these palestinians to be able to go home freely given that 85% of gaza's population has been displaced according to the u.n.

but israel wants people to be screened. another potential impasse is the fighting in gaza. hamas is calling for an immediate cease-fire, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has called for a total victory meaning the idf would be able to keep fighting in the gaza strip to ensure that hamas no longer poses a threat. that leads to another potential hurdle to overcome. hamas wants a complete withdrawal of israeli forces. israel wants to retain control of the philadelphia quarter, that's a 9-mile stretch of land separating gaza from egypt. blink and mention those sticking points saying all of this is laid out in a three phased plan but it is really as to how to properly into implement it and get these agreements passed. he also spoke to the families of the hostages here in israel telling them that this could come to fruition in a matter of days. >> sandra: live in tel aviv for us, thank you.

john. >> john: let's bring in tired lieutenant general keith kel kellogg. advisor to former president trump and mike pence. this ideal that israel says through benjamin netanyahu that they will accept the latest bridging proposal but hamas yesterday rejected it because it says there is no way that hamas would agree to allow israeli forces to be on the southern tip of gaza. israel wants them there to prevent the flow of weapons back into gaza so that hamas could rearm. do you think this is going anywhere? >> thank you for having me. no. i really don't and here's why. you look at the last ten months and what has happened. there's a lot more to this cease-fire than meets the eye. just the hostilities and the hostages. they still have five americans hostage and we don't know if they are still alive because we have had no proof of life and you look at the reconstruction of all of the damage that was done there. what will happen with the

leadership and the government of gaza as well? they will have to be ironed out and discussed. i don't see anything in the near term. here's what i think needs to be addressed really is i know he's over there for the ninth trip trying to figure out how to do a cease-fire but i want to know where kamala harris is coming from when we talk about what is happening with israel and what's happening in gaza. that whole region. she has not come online and she is tied to the biden administration which happened in the middle east but we don't know what her plan is for discussions with hamas or hezbollah or iran. she wants to talk with saudi arabia. we want to know what she intends to do. we know what she has done in the past because she has been tied to biden. for example with afghanistan she said she was the last one in the room and we saw what happened there. the wood disasters withdrawal and the 13 dead at abigail. by the way a dignified transfer that she did not attend. we don't know what's happening and that needs to be addressed because netanyahu is not looking

at blink and invite them. he's at harris. >> john: she is a blank slate. there is no policy page on her website. her supporters say that she is holding off on writing detailed policy until after the election should she win. we don't have much of an idea other than what we looked at in 2019 when she unsuccessfully ran for president paired she was described as a hawk but at the same time she wanted to get back into the jcpoa which would indicate that anybody who wants to get back into that jcpoa would likely have a soft on iran policy. >> this is like rebooking tickets on the titanic. we just don't know what she wants to do and she needs to tell the american people and the reason she needs to tell the american people on national security as it's not just the economic piece or the diplomatic piece but there is the kinetic piece. as always a fight there. there's so many things that they

are engaging in absolute security that can get wrong and get you involved in a gunfight and the young men, allied and friends and enemies as well get killed in actions because of bad decisions and she does not have a very good track record of good decisions with national security. let's look at the southern border. she visited one time. look what she did with afghanistan. look at her noncomments on what's happening right now with hezbollah and hamas and iran as well. the american people, they deserve better. they need to know where it is the future president stand on these issues. >> john: and there is evidence that iran is behind a lot of the protests we are seeing against israel. here's what the director of national intelligence said. and recent weeks iranian government is taking advantage of the ongoing protest with the war on gaza giving the playbook of what we've seen over the years but we've observe actors tied to iran's government posing as activists online to encourage

protest and providing financial support to protesters yet the united states is still pretty much operating on a hands-off policy when it comes to iran. >> they look at iran as a benevolent relationship. we want to give money and they want to give aid and they shouldn't. they should look at the same thing we did with the trump administration when you have national pressure. the irani ands are bad people. they are the ones causing the problems. they are the ones that we have to go after. >> john: we should clarify to say that the irani leadership fits that leadership. there is a lot of great people in that country. >> sandra: so have you seen and heard this. free abortions and vasectomies being offered just blocks from the dnc. why planned parenthood is spouting outrage. plus this.

>> a mercedes-benz. his car is going to get messed up. >> john: devastating floods hit the northeast and forest daring rescues and more rain could be coming. this is really extraordinary. more on those floods and the forecast coming up next. (tony hawk) skating for over 45 years has taken a toll on my body. i take qunol turmeric because it helps with healthy joints and inflammation support. why qunol? it has superior absorption compared to regular turmeric. qunol. the brand i trust. you know, when i take the bike out like this, all my stresses just melt away. i hear that. this bad boy can fix anything. yep, tough day at work, nice cruise will sort you right out. when i'm riding, i'm not even thinking about my painful cavity. well, you shouldn't ignore that.

and every time i get stressed about having to pay my bills, i just hop on the bike, man. oh, come on, man, you got to pay your bills. you don't have to worry about anything when you're protected by america's number-one motorcycle insurer. well, you definitely do. those things aren't related, so... ah, yee! oh, that is a vibrating pain.

>> sandra: flash flooding hitting the northeast hard over the past 24 hours leaving at least one person data and one missing and more rain could still be on the way. fax meter whether all or just adam klotz joins us with what we need to know. >> we have seen a ton of rain across the portions of the mideast mid-atlantic. this is taking you through monday. afoot of rain. there's nowhere for that water to go. long island got in on the mix a little bit getting into central long island on the north side of the island. a whole bunch of communities getting a whole bunch of rain. and there is more moisture on the way. this is a little bit less drastic. it's not going to take a whole lot of rain for there to be trouble on the way as we are looking at a week a cold front drifting back across some of these areas bringing more showers and more storms to unfortunately some of these areas that have been really hard

hit. this has come at a cost for local airports as we have been seeing a 3 on a scale of 4 of her misery and duct which means a 500 cancellations and 700 delays so far today we are playg catch up a little bit. where's the flash flood for today and tomorrow? it sits on the same areas so you are looking at connecticut and stretching to the north. a lot of that is because the ground is so saturated there's nowhere for this new rain to ultimately go. >> sandra: we will keep watching. thank you very much. john. >> john: anti-israel protesters descending on chicago convention. while the dnc has out there celebrating kamala harris but can the party unite amid all the chaos? harris walz cochair chris coons on deck to react plus a live look from pennsylvania where former president trump is
