assassination attempt. >> will: we'll also ask trump about potential endorsement from r.f.k. jr. who reportedly plans to drop out of the race foam. rachel campos-duffy recently spoke to him about his political future. >> don't become president, are you willing to take on a position like this in the trump administration as health czar? >> well, one way or the other, i'm going to be fighting to get this stuff out of our foods. we are poisoning. we have a generation of kids that are swimming around in a autisttoxic soup right now. >> the isn't stopping violence in chicago. talk to family members who share

their message to democrats. watch. >> actually do something for the community please do more to keep these criminals and drug dealers and people who shoot guns off the street. >> she is going to be a number. and i'm going to be a number. and that's not fair. >> brian: wow, the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. remember, your mornings are better with friends. ♪ >> will: now a fox news alert. as many as 2,000 anti-israel protesters rallying in the streets of chicago yesterday. >> brian: meanwhile uncommitted democrats staging a sit-in outside the united center demanding pro-palestinian activists get time on stage at the dnc. >> ainsley: steve harrigan joins us live from union park where the march all started and ended. good morning to you, steve. >> steve: good morning, ainsley. no major acts of violence overnight. just about 2,000 protesters out on the streets. that's a fraction of what organizers had promised would be here. they didn't try to block traffic like they did the night before. so no really arrests overnight.

but the big march is scheduled for tonight. and some law enforcement analysts say there are going to be some extremist groups who may be looking for a fight. >> a win for them is a right. riot.they want optics, cops flag away with batons without any context. letting off pepper spray and social media meme of police brutality and overreaction. it means funding. >> one of the most emotional moments of the convention so far when rachel goldberg spoke about 23-year-old son hersch. he was taken hostage by hamas back in october. >> the issue should not be a partisan one both parents say. >> among the hostages are eight american citizens. one of those americans is our only son. >> a deal that brings this

diverse group of 109 hostages home uncommitted delegates staging a sit in. they want a speaker from the podium about the suffering in gaza. >> will: vice presidential nominee tim walz admit that voters need to hear exactly what kamala harris would do as president before they ask for asking for their vote. >> ainsley: he didn't offer any of the campaign distances on policy. >> brian: jacqui heinrich is live in chicago. jacqui, the vice president said he should do it. the vice presidential nominee said she should do it. tell everyone, will we ever hear those policies? >> well, i think probably not this week. it's fair to say at this point, brian. we will get to that in more detail in just a moment. i think really the point last night was for tim walz to

introduce himself to america, is he a relatively unknown quantity up until he was selected as the running mate for the new democratic nominee. and he is sort of framing himself as the half of the ticket that might appeal to rural voters, blue collar voters. and broaden their chances in november. a big focus though from the rest of the speakers was jab 6th. they played video of rioters breaching the capital from congress as they were trying to certify the election results. a few of the speakers had something to say about trump. walz said this about leadership. take a listen. >> when i was teaching every year, we would elect a student body president. and you know what? those teenagers could teach donald trump a hell of a lot about what a leader is. >> i haven't given a lot of big speeches like this. but i have given a lot of pep talks. so let me -- let me finish with

this, team! it's the fourth quarter! we are down a field goal. but we're on offense and we've got the ball. we're driving down the field. [cheers] and, boy, do we have the right team. >> jacqui: former president bill clinton also tried to juxtapose president biden's decision to voluntarily give up a chance for a second term with former president trump's revel to accept the 2020 election results. even though there is much we can talk about in terms of just how voluntary biden's decision was. and who was involved in pressuring him to reach that decision. however, at one point, twaldz acknowledged that now that there is a new ticket in town, they have work ahead to explain to the american people not just who they are, but what they represent and what they are going to do if they win. >> we have got a chance to make kamala harris the next president of the united states.

we owe it to the american people to tell them exactly what she would do as president before we ask them for their votes. >> ironically, walz loosely outlined four general plans, including cutting taxes and protecting american freedoms. we didn't get a whole lot more meat on the and the trump campaign is trolling the new ticket. they yesterday launched a kamala 2024 policy website that actually leads to an error page because the campaign has still at this point nothing policy-wise written on it. so that was a little jab there, guys. >> ainsley: yeah. so, thank you so much for that report. i just logged on to it it's kamala 2024 policies.com. and it says kamala harris' dangerous policies are nothing to laugh about. and you can play a video of some soundbites of her over the years and what she has told reporters about her policies. and you go through and it will

tell you each of her policies and then you can click on that to learn more information. >> brian: if they are not going to put out policies go by her record prior to and having gotten the job as vice president. so let's take a look at it. setting murderers free, bidenomics is working. remember how many times she said that see it in clips. more taxes to make sure the middle class pay their fair share because people mischaracterized the trump tax plan as a break for the rich. they got oa 1% decrease. most of the middle class are ones who saw the tax increase. the tax decrease. >> will: can you see other policies there. ending wrong-headed thinking that police -- that more police mean safer communities. in other words, her policies. would take police off the street. there is a -- you know, an idea in politics, lawrence, define yourself or somebody else will define you. right here this is the trump campaign defining kamala harris when this comes to substance, when it comes to policies. >> ainsley: using her own words.

>> will: meaning she hasn't put any any specific poles in this campaign for presidency. this is her past as we put out, brian, put in the terms of kamala 2024 policies. >> will, they keep telling us that there's this new kamala harris. okay. well, then the new kamala harris needs to show up. i mean, the governor says on the stage that we owe it to the voters to go tell them where she stands on it. no, she owes it to us. she owes it -- she -- all we see is campaign surrogates telling us the evolution of kamala harris. not kamala harris telling us. if she has changed on her position which politicians do all the time, i think that's totally fine. but she needs to be able to tell us why she changed it. what's actual policy, and what she is going to do -- they keep saying there was this evolution because she was in the vice president's office. okay. tell us about that evolution then. >> ainsley: lawrence, if you go on this, it's very thorough. if you click on the first one beings fighting to set murderers free. it talks about her supporting the minnesota freedom fund, how

criminals were let out. one of them that was let out went on to commit a murder. it talks about different dates and when she co-sponsored. >> brian: here it is. did you see the cover of the "new york post" today. this is the story. of that murder. harris helped bail group out. raised millions to let loose murderers. they tell you about this stories these guys get out again and kill again she was one of the first george soros style a.g.s. criminals are good. let's let them rub wild. we see the ramifications of that in chicago. we certainly see it in new york. nonstop. >> will: this is the most important stuff in this election, make no mistake. what are your policies? i had trey gowdy on the will cain show this week. he is like republicans win when they talk about policies, we are going to lose talk about ad hominems, candidates and their policies. but, i do have to say, because they have made a central tenet of this election, the idea who is weed err weird. right? i'm going to tell you when tim

walz double wave above his head. how do you match the energy? all these exaggerated motions? >> ainsley: have you seen him kick the air? he always lifts his leg up. >> will: i'm going to say it's weird. that's one man's opinion. but that isn't a football -- that's weird. i didn't have that coach. >> brian: i will say this. if i brought up to dawn that i like to honeymoon in china with students, that would have been a stop sign. he did he honeymooned in china. >> ainsley: y'all could have talked trade, china. >> brian: going to communist china was never on my punch card. but, that's what he did. is that not weird? at the very least, i never thought it was a big deal to be a little different in this country, but they are running on it. >> lawrence: we're going to have donald trump coming up about 7:30. but, you know, we joke about this. i will say, this on a serious note. just about strategy, there is a danger of trying to run out the clock when the score is 0-0.

i mean, i know they are under this impression that they are in the lead, even though they continue to say they are not. that's all for politics, optics wise. >> brian: underdog. >> lawrence: the pretty, the vote. you to set exceptions low so people will show up. they are running as if they have the lead right now. and the problem is when you do that, when it's zero-zero. your opponent may score. and it may be the end of the game. and i think that's what's going to happen. everything is going to be riding right now on that debate. >> brian: lawrence, hold on a second, did you understand that? >> ainsley: i did understand that, i normally don't understand these sports aal analogies, keep it easy. >> brian: got to make sure. >> ainsley: lawrence, do you know what i'm noticing when barack obama was on stage i was thinking my gosh so much enthusiasm in this room. everyone loves the the obamas. >> we remember when he ran and everyone was excited about it. all the democrats. were there most of them voted. but, in this case, i'm noticing from everyone you talked to in

chicago. they are like, when you went to the barbershop, yeah, i might vote for kamala. but i mean, she really hasn't done anything. they are not as enthusiastic about her. they know she would be the first black woman president. you don't have the enthusiasm like you did with barack obama. >> lawrence: ainsley, it goes to the point i have been making the whole time. i'm not some outside creature. i was part of the 2008 obama movement. i remember all the t-shirts, the shoes, i had them. i was at all the conventions, i remember how it was palpable. it's still palpable. the problem is he won't run again. he can't run again. and michelle is saying no. they keep telling me it's the same for kamala harris. i haven't seen that what the energy is that joe biden is no longer on the ticket. so there is some energy. it has nothing to do with clarifies. >> brian: i like him but i don't long for his eight years as a president. i would love to know how that library is revitalizing chicago. all i hear money being poured into library. sucking money out of chicago. i can't wait to see this obama

library. >> will: rumors swirling around r.f.k. jr.'s campaign as is he scheduled to address the nation about it tomorrow in arizona. >> brian: wow, that's right going to be interesting. donald trump will also be in arizona visiting the border an potentially expecting a high stakes endorsement from the independent candidate. >> ainsley: brian with his reads. "fox & friends weekend" co-host rachel campos-duffy recently sat down with r.f.k. jr. and she joins us now. hey, rachel, tell us about your interview. >> well, i brought r.f.k. jr. in to talk about food and what's happening to our food, which is being poisoned by so many chemicals that are actually being allowed by our government to be in our food and many times we're subsidizing. we had that conversation at the end of it i asked him on camera, on this, listen. >> if you don't become president, are you willing to take on a position like this in the trump administration as health czar? >> well, one way or the other, i'm going to be fighting to get

this stuff out of our foods. i mean, we are poisoning. we have a generation of kids that are swimming around in a talks soup right now. and we need to why are betraying them. we are supposed to taking care of our kids. agencies massive poison. nobody in the world has a chronic disease epidemic of the kind we have in this country. >> so, guys, he deeply cares about this issue. make no mistake. it is democrat dirty tricks that have brought donald trump and r.f.k. potentially together with this endorsement. he has experienced r.f.k. jr. personally. what it's like to have the democrat machine go up against you, trying to take you off of ballots in states. he has experienced lawfare. he has all kinds of lawsuits lodged against him and his campaign again to stop him from running and competing fairly

against the democrat machine. and, also, i think just the history of, you know, here's a man whose family was, you know, experienced assassinations, and you have donald trump as well. and i think more importantly, even just the food issue, guys, is really about government corruption, i think both of them have very similar views, when it comes to reforming the doj, the fbi, the cia, having more transparency. they also agree on war. less war, control the war machine, big pharma, et cetera this is a real threat to the democrats, r.f.k. jr. does a very good job of appealing to disaffected young people. and he could, i believe, move the needle. >> brian: they were friends before when they were both nonpoliticians. so they have a history of a friendship. i know trump doesn't feel comfortable criticizing him i don't think. when it looked like r.f.k. was

taking a bite out of his numbers. he went after him for a couple of days. i think it was hard for him. because i know he likes him. it would be very interesting to see what happens on friday. be the first momentum grab for trump in about three weeks. >> ainsley: rachel, i like that idea. i don't agree with him on everything, i like the idea of cleaning up our foods. when you look at the back of a box of food. you can't pronounce half of the things. i would love for it all to be fresh, no preserves. >> will: all right. nice job. >> rachel: ainsley, this is the sleeper issue for women is food. democrats want to focus on; a lot of moms are sick and tired of the food poisoning, bringing chronic and metabolic disorder. >> will: we have to run. a big interview coming up 15 minutes, donald trump coming up at 7:30 a.m. eastern time here on "fox & friends." >> brian: meanwhile one of donald trump's good friends nancy pelosi praising joe biden's presidency on the dnc

stage with a tongue firmly in her cheek but makes no apologies for her role in his exit. >> will: tim walz admit he and harris owe to america to lay out her policy. but their campaign website still doesn't list a single one. tonight, on fox nation, catch my conch of the convention at 11:00 p.m. >> lawrence: here we go. ♪

kamala harris set to take the stage tonight in the dnc. she going to deliver her keynote to address coach tim walz admits she will need to be more open about her vision for the country. listen. >> we have got a chance to make kamala harris the next president of the united states. we owe it to the american people to tell them exactly what she would do as president before we ask them for their votes. >> lawrence: so here with reaction is democratic strategist antoine. it's been a while we have did it? >> good to link. >> lawrence: kamala harris has had some positions before but she says she has changed. back in 2019 she supported decriminalization, border crossings. now in '24 she is saying that she wants strong borders. that she wants people to earn a pathway to citizenship. then in 2019, when it comes to crime, she ran as a progressive prosecutor. looking to end cash bail. she now says that she wants to be a more pragmatic prosecutor, taking on the predators and

fraud centers. so who is the real kamala harris? >> well, i think the real kamala harris is the one you see continuing to introduce herself to the american people. and, by the way, the american people are responding in historic way, $500 million raised in matter of a month. to thirds of those folks are first time voters. she is making her case directly to the people on the issues that matter to all americans. not just democrats. not just republicans. and you see the unifying of the party. but, in some ways you see independent thinkers, independent voters, as well as republicans responding in a unique way and i think that's why you see the kamala money tum this country is experiencing happening the way it is part ofe debate is figuring out where the candidate stands on the issue. still on the website. antjuan. why is that? is there a fear when it comes to

the campaign of her talking directly to the media, pushing her on the positions and telling us why. if she has changed tell us why. >> the most important segment she can interview is the american people they are ultimately going to decide this election. i think it's crystal clear where she stands on the issues especially when it comes to a woman being trusted to make her own healthcare decisions. certainly she has been clear where she stands on the border saying on day one she will sign the bipartisan legislation to secure our border. i think she is very clear that she will continue to implement the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed by the biden-harris administration. her economic vision has been very clear. she has laid that out. i think when it comes to issues that matter to the american people, including the climate crisis, we just heard janice dean talk about how hot it is in texas. she has been clear where she stands on the issues. i think what she has to do with the next 70-some odd days is to continue to lean it to make it more clear for people who think she is not doing that. >> lawrence: i have been in texas all my life it's always

been hot. >> it's getting hotter. >> lawrence: talk to someone who you respect is nancy pelosi. here is what she had to say on joe biden. watch. >> the inauguration of joe biden and kamala harris, we established one of the most successful presidents of modern time. all thanks to president biden's patriotic vision of a fairer america. doing so with liberties and justice for all. thank you, joe. >> lawrence: antjuan she pushed him out. everybody is wearing the godfather -- godmother with nancy pelosi's face on it here in the convention. >> i don't know if pelosi pushed joe biden out. i think joe biden made a selfless decision to do what's in the best interest of his party and the country. and i think the american people are responding accordingly. keep in mind it was nancy pelosi who was the speaker of the house that helped marshall through the biden-harris agenda which arguably has been the most consequential in the american history. even republicans who may have

disagreed with the policy positions have gone back to the districts and taken credit for those things. nancy pelosi is a team player like everyone else. and i think you're going to see the team continuing to respond in the days, weeks and months ahead. >> lawrence: do you know what i think? as much as i want you here at fox with us. i think they should hire you. you do a better job making a case than they do. antjuan, thank you so much i appreciate it. don't move, president trump is going to join us live on "fox & friends," next. ♪ my symptoms got worse over time. my eye doctor explained the root was inflammation—so he prescribed xiidra. xiidra works differently. xiidra targets inflammation. over-the-counter drops don't do this. they only hit pause on my symptoms. but twice-daily xiidra gives me lasting relief. xiidra treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. don't use if allergic to xiidra and seek medical help if needed. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort,

place today too from what i just saw in your weather forecast. she was in trouble i didn't think too much about it. i don't want to talk about it, actually. i thought we had very good protection. >> ainsley: mr. president, when you listening to the dnc and all the speeches they're spreading many different lies, we eat, sleep and breathe this. you know what they are saying is wrong but you don't hear your take. there is no one fact-checking. here is governor tim walz trying to still connect to you project 2025. listen. >> some folks just don't understand what it takes to be a good neighbor. take donald trump and j.d. vance. [crowd boos] their project 2025 will make things much harder for people who are just trying to live their lives. they spent a lot of time pretending they know nothing about this. but, look, i coached high school

football enough to know and trust me on this when somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they're going to use it. [cheers] we know if they get back in the white house they will start john mark karring up the costs on the middle class, they will repeal the affordable care act. they will gut social security and medicare. [boos] >> they will ban abortion across this country with or without congress. [boos] >> here's the thing, it's an agenda nobody asked for. it's an agenda that serves nobody except the richest and the most extreme amongst us. >> ainsley: this is your chance to set the record straight. what is your response. >> first of all, a total light weight. he shouldn't have any access to possibly being president. the guy has been a terrible governor. they have had nothing but problems in their state he has

no capability. they call him coach. is he a semi coach if he coached football for a little while. this guy is a light weight. he shouldn't have access and for him to say about project 25 is disgraceful. they know i have nothing to do with it. i had no idea what it was. a group of people got together. they drew up some conservative values, very conservative values and in some case perhaps they went over-the-line perhaps they didn't. i have no idea what project 25 is. they know it. just like charlottesville totally discredited. biden gets up all the time and says charlottesville. he ran because of charlottesville e got run out of office by the democrats. they did a coup on him. and he is sitting some place in california on a beach because he is in california, it's crime-ridden. crime ridden place. it's not the same place. more people leaving than coming and all of the things that these people have done, kamala has been the worst -- everything she

touched turned bad. california turned bad. san francisco, you can't walk into san francisco. you barely can go into california anymore. people -- it's a state that's in terrible, terrible crime trouble and every other form of trouble. monetary trouble. has nothing -- drugs all over the place. did you go into los angeles, you can't walk down the streets, it's a shame between gavin newsom. but it was really more kamala because she was your district attorney in san francisco; san francisco is unlivable now. unlivable. 15 years ago it was the most beautiful city. one of the greatest cities in the world. today it's unlivable. it's going to have to be hopefully be able to be brought back if that's possible. kamala, who is a marxist and a radical left -- frankly, she is a radical left lunatic. and, if she became our president, this country would turn out to be a big version of san francisco or a big version of california itself. so, these guys, they talk about

that. they talk about all different things that they know are totally discredited. they have a thing with soldiers where looking over the graves of soldiers and saying horrible thing about dead soldiers from world war i. it was totally made up. it was a made up story. confirmed -- that was confirmed my side of it by 26 people in the military that it never happened. they had one lunatic talking about it. and they use it all the time. there's nobody that loves the military more than me. nobody did more for the military. i rebuilt the military. they gave $85 billion of it away to afghanistan in the dumbest and one of the most horrible things that's ever happened. probably the most embarrassing moment that ever happened to a country the way they -- >> brian: she was the last one in the room when that decision was made. >> sure she was the last one. she made the decision -- she made the decision. it was one of the most embarrassing decisions.

not brian, not the fact that we got out. the way they got out. i was ready to get out. but i was going to keep bagram. that's one of the biggest air bases in the world. it was one hour away from where china makes their nuclear weapons. one hour away. very important that we keep it. they left bagram. the biggest runway. most powerful runways can handle the heaviest loads. this was designed, billions and billions of dollars years ago. we gave them the keys. and now china occupies bagram. we should have kept that that was the one thing we should have stayed. not because of afghanistan, but because of china. and we gave it up. they took the soldiers out before they did -- soldiers first. we left people -- we -- to this day we have people living there that can't get out. we -- 13 great people who i know the families, as you know. 13 great people killed. 45 absolutely obliterated. the arms, their legs, and hundreds of people killed during that day.

people falling off planes, many people falling off planes from 3,000 feet up. that's like three times the height of the empire state building. >> will: president trump you are talking about something. >> so sad to see. excuse me. then i have to listen to a light weight like this get up and absolutely lie. but they all lied. and they mentioned my name. i read where in -- and frankly i watched where you said, your group said you said,specifically, i think they mentioned me 29 # times. they mentioned the border once. they mentioned crime twice. they don't mention the economy, because the economy is horrible, they defrauded the people of our country with the job numbers. you saw that 818,000 fake jobs. they put on the rolls. they thought they could keep it. they thought they were going to keep those numbers until right after the election, when they could announce a revision. but they weren't able to do that because they had a leaker. and somebody leaked the numbers. they were fraudulent job

numbers. just like they have fraudulent crime numbers. fbi didn't include new york, chicago, and oakland and a couple of other places that aren't doing so well on crime. if they would have included those numbers. they are the worst crime numbers we have ever had. >> lawrence: so, mr. president, let's talk about chicago. you brought it up. i had the opportunity -- i have been going all over chicago for years now but i went to barbershop and there was a lot of people there. they talked about you. they talked about kamala harris stealing the tip plan from you. they say they are open. this is a little bit from the folks that i talked to, watch. >> we have been doing these barbershop tours since '03. it's really enlightening to hear individuals start to change their political direction. i think it's time that blacks, in general, need to boost our political iq. stop being blindly faithful to a one-party system that doesn't work for us.

so, i have always liked donald trump. you know, he was icon for years in our community. all of a sudden now he is this big klansman. >> lawrence: what changed? >> i think the powers that be saw his potential in our community. somebody -- the republicans started to come and really communicate in these communities, they will come to barber shops and start to see we are talking the same language. >> lawrence: um-huh. >> but they don't know how to communicate. so they would rather not do it. >> lawrence: so, mr. president, he says that you got to directly communicate to the voters. will you be on the ground at barber shops, local communities, talking about the issues that matter to them? >> and i am going to be doing that i like that guy. and i like those people. i watched yesterday as you did it. you are doing fantastically, by the way. i watched yesterday as you did the interviews. those are great people. those are people who just want safety. they don't want much. he wants to run his barbershop. the people that are getting the

hair cut thinking about maybe going there myself, i like the work. maybe they would make my hair look better. i would pay a lot of money to hair cut. they could make my hair look better. obviously those are great people. those are hard-looking people. they are strong, they are tough. and they know they are being conned by the democrats. you have a tough political system in chicago. look at the governor. the governor is an incompetent guy. he was thrown out of the family business. hyatt hotel. partners with them years ago on a job in new york. they threw him out of the business. i know the family very well. they threw him out because they didn't want him in the business. he ends up being governor. he has money. he ends up being governor. is he incompetent. look, chicago and the whole illinois thing is very, very corrupt. but, we're putting a big play there we are putting a big play in new york. you have the same situation in new york. if you went to a barbershop. any barbershop that you are talking about -- if you went to

a barbershop in new york and los angeles and any place you want to talk, about you will find the same thing. the same reaction. they are really upset and i watched the mothers on your show this morning before we went on, so sad. they have given up on life. you have the worst prosecutors. they go after guys like me. they don't -- they go after me because i questioned the elections and things like that. it's nonsense. if you can't question an election, we don't have a country. but, when people get killed. when their children get killed, nothing happens. i remember jussie smollett, i said you got to prosecute this guy. and they did. but, jussie smollett was given a free hand. and, yet, these killers, and they know who they're. the worst thing is, they know who they are. they don't even go and pick him up. and you have many communities like that. chicago is terrible in that respect. but you have many communities like that. chicago 20 years ago was a great city. i built a great building in

chicago. in fact, i see it every time they do the skyline. but, chicago has gone really wrong. and i think i'm going to get a tremendous amount of votes from chicago. >> lawrence: what would you do differently, though? you see what the biden administration -- are you sending in the national guard? are you mobilizing the businesses? are you going to change the education system? day one if there is a donald trump presidency, what would you do in chicago? >> first of all, i know the people in chicago. i know the police because i built the building there. i spent a lot of time building it. it -- it's a great building, a really great building, and what happened is i got to know a lot of people. including the police. every a great police force in chicago. just like you do in new york. just like you do in los angeles. you have great -- they are not allowed to do their jobs. you have got to let the police do their jobs, number one. number two, you have to do a policy of stop and frisk. when you see a guy coming down the street and you can -- the police know every one of them. they know their middle name. they know where they live.

they know every one of them, the local police and they are great great. you got to let them do their job. stop and frisk and take their gun away. you've got to do it. if somebody has -- because they have all these guns. you know, it's very interesting. the toughest gun law, the toughest by far in the whole united states is in chicago. and, yet, it's the most -- >> brian: most violent. don>> fourth of july weekend 14 shot and 17 died. that's worst than afghanistan. afghanistan doesn't have that. no place has that. that's a war zone. this last weekend, during the just prior to the start of the convention, with you will at police, everything else. do you know that so far five people have been killed. you don't read about it because the press doesn't want to report about it. five people have been killed in chicago during the democrat convention. >> will: right. >> it's terrible.

>> will: let's talk about the democratic national convention. stay in chicago go to the stage. tonight kamala harris will take the stage. many people have pointed out if we're talking about policies, many of which you are talking about this morning. you win. if we are talking about personalities, it's playing in to democrats. as you pointed out, they are trying to talk about your personality. brian interestingly brought up they are no longer saying you are a threat to democracy. they are saying things like you are a fraudster. and they are. >> brian: selfish. >> will: putting lies out there like the suckers and loser. or bloodbath hoax or very fine people hoax. tim walz said last night you were going to introduce a national abortion ban. the question is how do you as kamala harris takes the stage, turn this into something about how you or she will affect the lives 6 americans and less about you or kamala harris as personalities? >> well, first of all, in terms of personality, i don't think she has a personalities because she is a allowed crime to flourish, wherever she went. and if i were a person, i wouldn't like that personality.

that's not the personality i want whatever she has got. they don't have it. because san francisco was crime-ridden and it's gotten worse and worse. she had policies $950, you can steal anything you want up to $950 in a store. and they are not going to prosecute the people. they have policies that are absolutely insane. this guy walz comes out. and he wants tampons sold in young men's bathrooms. you have to have tampons available. not evening sold. available in young men's bathrooms. we are giving our government away when we put two lunatics like this in. they can't -- if they take over, our government as president and vice president, our country doesn't stand a chance. the whole world -- i know every leader. the whole world is laughing at us. they can't even believe it's happening. biden is incompetent. he was the worst president in the history of our country. i see the way they build it up.

it was an overthrow. she is worse than him. because she is actually a radical left marxist. that's what she is. that's what she is always going to be. she is going to ban fracking. she is going to ban all energy production coming out of the ground. she is going to ban everything that's good. and she is going to go to like the all electric car mandate. how ridiculous is that? they are too expensive. they don't go far. and they do have a market. but we want gasoline propelled cars. we want hybrids. we want lots of things. we can have everything. what they are doing to our country is unbelievable. and most importantly they have made our country very safe. and internationally they have made it even more safe. as bad as when you see chicago in the cities, as bad as they are, much worse internationally. we are going to end up in world war iii because she is incompetent. biden sent her russia would have never happened with ukraine if i were president. israel, the attack on israel would have never happened, iran had no money.

they had no money to give to hamas or hezbollah. but, let me tell you, and a little known fact and the press doesn't want to talk about. biden sent -- i call her cam rad kamala, comrade kamala sent putin in russia three days before the attack he attacked three days later. he laughed at her. he thought she was a joke. now he is really laughing when he sees her. can you imagine her negotiating with president xi of china, with kim jong un of no north korea te whole thing is like we are living in a fantasy land. then i see the people it's like they are having a party. they don't mention the border. all they do is make up lies about me. every one of those things -- i really appreciative that you brought that up, brian. every one of those things is a lie, what they say about me. project 25 i have no idea what

the hell -- i don't even want to see it. i don't want to read it because i want to say i have no idea what it is. so, people get together, they do something that's extreme, i assume it's extreme. i don't know. because i don't even want to see it. it doesn't matter. on abortion, i will bring it up, we did a great thing. we got rid -- we did something that for 52 years people have wanted to do. they wanted to get rid of roe v. wade, they wanted to bring that subject back to the states. every democrat wanted that. every republican, every liberal, every conservative. and every legal scholar. and i did it. and it's now back in the state where it belongs. and they are taking votes to states. ohio came out with a much more liberal policy than people would have thought. kansas the same thing. texas maybe will be different. and what it was is they want the vote of the people. they want -- now, i will say like ronald reagan, i'm for exceptions, for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. i'm for exceptions.

ronald reagan was for exceptions. most people are for exceptions. you have to follow your heart. but, it's being voted on an issue that's ripped our country apart for 50 years is being solved at the voting booth and states are voting in what they want. and a lot of these policies, i will tell you, are much more liberal than people would have thought happened. but they say -- they say i want a federal ban. i would never -- they know i have said it. there will not be a federal ban. this is now back ithe states. where it belongs. and, again, every democrat, every republican, everybody wanted roe v. wade terminated. and brought back to the states. then about 10 years ago, they started talking about the number of weeks and the number of this or that. no, right now, it's in the hands of the people, the people in the individual states are voting. i did something that's going to bring our country together, eventually. but, because they lie so much at

this convention. they make it sound like it's -- i want a federal ban. won't happen. it's not going to happen. it's in the hands of the states. >> ainsley: right. mr. president, yesterday, there was a big announcement or big rumors spreading that r.f.k. jr. might be dropping out. might be endorsing you. his spokesperson said they will give a live address tomorrow about his path forward, and now there are rumors that he might join you at this rally in arizona tomorrow to announce that he is supporting you. what's the truth? have you talked to him? >> so, i have known him for a long time. he's a -- as you know, he is a little different kind of a guy. very smart guy. he is a very good person. if he endorsed me, i would be honored by it. i would be very honored by it. he really has his heart in the right place. he is a respected person. women love some of his policies and i guess some people don't like some of his policies. but, overall, i thought the democrats, he was a democrat, i

don't know what he is right now. but he was a democrat. they treated him very badly. i think he would have -- you know, he goes around saying he would have beaten biden in the primary. i think there was a good chance. what they did to him is what they did to biden. they really were harsh and threw him out. they wouldn't let him go -- they made it impossible for him to compete in primaries because he was doing so well. and they basically made it impossible for him to do what i think he would have been -- i think he would have overthrown biden. because biden is so bad as a president. when i hear there is talk about mount rushmore, i turn off the television if i have to read an article. i just throw it down. mount rushmore for this man who is the worst president in our history. he is allowed and she is because she was the border czar, now she -- you know, she disons disowns that many people of our country totally unchecked. totally unvetted. many of these people came into our country, think of this, from prisons and jails.

from mental institutions and insane asylums and, brian, there is many terrorists coming in. many, many terrorists. >> brian: no doubt about it, 99 on the terrorist watch list in our country right now. we just talked to a sheriff that says we have more people turn themselves in but more got-aways than ever before with these new rules. mr. president, they keep bringing up the fact that you were against the bipartisan bill that senator lankford and senator murphy came up with about six months ago. you didn't want it done. didn't you like about that bipartisan bill on the border? >> everything. it was no good. millions of people in that bill millions and millions of people would have allowed to come in. and, you know, senator lankford hurt himself. he is a fine person. he hurt himself by even putting that forward. more importantly, you don't need a bill. if they want to close the border. i had the best border in history. you see the numbers. you see the famous chart that probably saved my life if you want to know the truth. but the chart that i was

pointing to that i made a turn to the right showed that they had the least number in recorded history. the week that i left office, we had -- by the way, the lowest inflation and we had the least number of illegal immigrants coming into our country. >> brian: they say you killed the bill for political reasons. >> i didn't kill the bill. >> brian: you wanted to do it yourself. if you fixed the border, it would have hurt your chances getting reelected. what do you say to that? >> brian, i didn't do anything on the bill. people would ask my opinion. i didn't do anything on the bill. i think they respect my opinion. it was a terrible bill. more importantly, if they want to fix the border, they don't need a bill. the president of the united states, which is what i did, i didn't have a bill to close the border. i closed the border. i had the safest border. i had the least drugs coming into our country in 38 years. i had the least -- you have the human traffickers are horrible. and they traffic in children and they traffic in women, mostly women. but i had the lowest number

of -- we went after them with a vengeance. nobody has ever gone after them. they will be very happy, i will tell you what. they will be very happy to see these light weights get back into office. they don't want trump back. but i had the lowest human trafficking of children and women in -- ever recorded. ever. and, you know, the internet makes it very hard. because the internet, that's become a business, based on the internet. the internet has brought that into a modern business. and it's almost as big as the drug business for these people. but i had the lowest number of drugs. everything. we had a great border. all biden had to do was go to the beach and leave it alone. we had the best people. we had guys like tom homan and brandon judd and all these people. paul is taking brandon judd's place as you know. is he fantastic. all of these people are -- were stars. and they were doing such a good job. i had a policy. remain in mexico. you couldn't come in. mexico is going crazy with me by

the way. remain in mexico. you couldn't come in. the policy was so good. they ended it in the first week. no longer remain in mexico. it was so incredible. they couldn't come in unless they got approval. check them. very few people able to come in murder teres drug dealers. countries ascending from all over the world not just south america. drug dealers, murders and jails being emptied out into the united states of america. they are destroying our country. she is a marxist. she has no idea. she wants to have open borders. and if she got elected. the next day she would have no drilling and she would have open borders. with me it's the opposite. i get elected i drill, baby, drill first day and we have closed borders. >> lawrence: when you look at the polling you are winning on the issue when it comes to the border also winning on the

economy. which is why we were surprised when we found out this new data shows 818 million jobs the biden administration claims they created over the last year they didn't actually exist. this has been the largest revision ever in the last 15 years. so, mr. president, was this purely incompetence? what do you think is going on here? >> no, i think it was a fraud. 818,000 jobs. do you know what that is? almost a million jobs they said they had them and they didn't have them. i was surprised, too, because i see their job numbers. everyone knows the economy is lousy. i see their job numbers. i was surprised. it was a fraud. that was absolutely a fraud. they ought to investigate themselves and by the bureau of labor statistics came out with a revision because somebody leaked it. when they leaked it, they had to give real numbers.
