upset. >> you see the kids have been upset. so they shot this music video with the help of an organization called hip hop into learning its founders say their mission is to give kids a platform to use hip hop and music videos to make positive changes in their community a few months ago, they said they wanted to write this song about busing in their own way. >> and that's what leads us here today. >> music is their language. this is the way that they tell their stories. and we're just so proud of our students that they can express themselves in their own way when it comes to real situations that affect them to the real young prodigies, i see you. thank you for joining me today. i'll see you back here next saturday 8:00 am eastern smerconish is up next reversion to the mean.

>> i'm michael smerconish in philadelphia. think about it one month ago today. donald trump looked invincible he'd had a successful debate against president biden, survived an assassination attempt. he was presiding over a unified and well-choreographed republican convention in wisconsin and all the polls were in his favor a new york times sienna poll found that trump was leading biden in five of six battleground states james carville earned the wrath of some in his party when he wrote in the new york times, the jig is up and the sooner mr. biden and democratic leaders accept this, the better we need to move forward. david axelrod said that biden was more likely to lose in a landslide, then when it all for three nights, trump sat pensively speaking little and watching the rnc when he's spoken the final night, victory seemed assured and then came kamala harris and trump reverted to the mean the real mean. >> he called the vice president a bum said that she was evil,

called her crazy, stupid an incompetent socialist lunatic. >> and even questioned whether she was truly black. and then he sat silently when an interviewer said that second gentleman, doug emhoff, was a quote, unquote crappy jew trump added that harris herself doesn't like jewish people even claim that harris is huge crowds were actually an a.i. creation and so what happened, trump's numbers dropped. harris's numbers, rose today. she leads trump in five of the 6 battleground states at according to the cook new political report plus, just this morning breaking news from the new york times, harris has stormed into contention in arizona, georgia, nevada, and north carolina, according to their new poll they put georgia in that mix, although trump leads in that state as david frum observed, the trump campaign has now entered pleas shut up phase bill gorleston writing for the wall street journal, said that harris just

had the three best weeks and political memory, trump just had the three worst weeks in political memory. he wrote this, mr. trump meanwhile, has appeared out of sorts into off-balance rather than confront ms harris on substance, he has resorted to a familiar litany of personal incident salts. the result has been a dissonance between his campaign ads, which are mostly issue-oriented and his public comments, which dominate the news and distract from his case against ms harris similarly. aaron blake writing in the washington post, put it this way. recent days of featured a familiar sight, a coterie of trump allies taking to broadcast outlets such as fox news seemingly to send a message to trump in the apparent belief that this is how you get through to the cable news junkie former president. they practically begged him to change it up. they've sought to push him away from talk of crowd sizes and personal attacks on harris and toward policy but whether he

refuses to or can't that message is going unheated by the audience of one trump has been unrepentant when asked about his conduct at thursday's presser, he blamed harris for the weaponization of the government against any said, i'm entitled to personal attacks it sure seems like there's a causal connection between trump's reaction to harris and her rise in the polls. but on my sirius xm radio program this week, mark halpern offered a different take it's an interesting counterfactual if he were doing much better and much more with every republican i know and you know, would like him to do stop talking about trump engaging in personal insults, stop talking about things that that are off, off the main subjects and just talk about the biden-harris record on immigration inflation, crime i mean, americans are all the world would he be doing much better everybody thinks so, but i'm not so sure in part because of

the press coverage, in part because she's doing quite well. >> and in part because there's just the natural dynamics of by not being joe biden, by not having the infirmity questions associated with her. she was going to be springing how burn added that trump was hit by a hurricane whether he put up the protective covers or not, the house will still going to get blown away of course, whether the harris hurricane lasts is another thing kamala harris is not indestructible. she has served as an undistinguished, nearly invisible vice president. there appears no accomplishment. she can point to for her most important responsibility addressing the origin of the border crisis. a second, she picked a nice guy from minnesota, tim walz but he might turn out to have as many waltz's j.d. vance. and i don't mean the allegation of stolen valor. he spoke sloppily in that instance, but i don't think there's much there there but the cnn kfile report of his congressional campaign, deceit over his dwi is a real an

embarrassing issue. as usual, the cover up was worse than the crime it's still too soon to know how much she might regret not picking josh shapiro. and third thus far, harris has had a free ride she's not given any media interviews, hasn't faced voter questioning. what asked recently, she said that she would give an interview by the end of the month she said that on august the eighth no doubt she wants more time on the clock to prepare answers as to why she's flipped on health care fracking, we'd and the death penalty to name just a few sooner or later she's going to be held accountable and face pressure that she has thus far largely avoided just yesterday, her first substantive economic policy proposal, it received mixed reviews. bernie sanders loved it. he called her idea a strong progressive agenda but the washington post said that her proposals were gimmicks cnn's analysis said that her plan could create more problems than it solves you'd think the chill enjoy another week of

positive coverage amidst the dnc, which will feature three democratic presidents, but with passions inflamed about israel and gaza. there is an air of unpredictability as to what will happen in chicago. as i like to say, still to come events, we could never foresee and individuals whose names that today, we don't even know it all brings me to today's poll question at smerconish.com between now and election day, who will make fewer big mistakes? kamala harris or donald trump joining us now, james carville, the democratic strategist, david axelrod, the former senior adviser to president obama, and cnn, senior political commentator. i'll ask you both this question, david, beginning with you, was her ascendancy guaranteed or is it because of trumps self-destructive behavior? >> look. i think it's a combination of things. i think there's a tremendous sense of relief in the democratic party and in the country, nobody wanted the choice between biden

and trump. and i think nikki haley was right, the first party that dispatched there octogenarian candidate was likely to profit from that but it's also true that harris got out of the gates very quickly and she did. she consolidated the nomination very quickly. her performance was very strong coming out of that. and so she added to the momentum and listen, i think she'll she'll have a good week here and then you hit the labor day and then you have a debate one week after labor day. and if she does reasonably well in that debate, she could extend this momentum, right into when the voting period begins she's in she's in a good spot, but i i was the fact that month ago, things were the way they were and the way they are now should be assigned to people that

these things are not to be taken for granted and things can happen that can change the scenario. it's going to be a very close race and one of the variables michael is can trump get control of themselves? i think he's freaked out because he thought he had this one and now he doesn't necessarily have it won and he's looking at a woman who's telegenic. he has the eye of a casting director. she's getting bigger crowds and he's getting her poll numbers are all the things that he rates people by she is doing well at right now and i think he is he's come undone because of it change what's your answer? >> how did we get where we are in the span of one month? >> well first of all, i agree with everything david said which surprised no one you know, leontes makes i think said and mike tyson, he hit you so hard and changes the way it taste trump on tastes the same.

now than he did to sunday. that biden dropped out of the race. it just completely upended his world and as far her economic plan that she thinks that is companies and getting together in colluding in raising prices. and i think that's true. and idiotic press say, wow, can hurt if you do this. but capitalism for work, it can't work where you have collusion when airline calls an airline or almost school come to tall and other pharmaceutical company, an insurance calls and other insurance company. or they have people back challenged each other to see how much they can raise it and i think the american public is on to that i think it's a legitimate thing, and i'm glad to see that she's going to investigate it. and i wasn't if i was engaged in price collusion, i'd be worried right now david for how much longer can she be inaccessible? >> i took note of the fact that my introduction, my opening that on the 8 august, she said,

well, by the end of the month, i'm going to sit for an interview and i went back and i looked at the calendar i mean, it's inexcusable. right yeah. >> look, i if i were her team, i would want to be doing what she's been doing. i would want to be riding this wave and organizing through these big rallies and creating a sense of momentum and so on. i don't fault them for that i do think that she's going to have to submit to these and i've said before, if i were her, i'd be doing gaggles. i'd be going to the back of the plane and going on the record and talking to reporters. there just to make these interviews. and i be talking to local outlets in these battleground states just to make the these interviews less eventful less unique, and she's set up she's raising the stakes for an interview. i suspect that she and her running mate will do a 60

minutes type interview coming out of this convention. but then she's going to have to get into a routine of it. and i think that she will and that will be a test that she will have to pass james talk to me about the map. you might be the rage and cajun, but you earned your stripes in pennsylvania. i need to remind people pennsylvania and georgia seemed to be the most important of the two. do you agree with that? >> pennsylvania's i mean, not that ron, a pathways i think they have more pathways that you could lose georgia and when the electoral college or that you lose pennsylvania and when they're told i mean, i don't want him, you know, it's kind of a asking you what kids you like the bass, i mean they're both critical stage and i suspect that we campaign in hard and so will trump and his maga as two the question about news conference. okay. first of all, she spent a tad visit. it's not been for which she's

picked a vice president. she said the planet convention, she had to merge two campaigns together she had to do all of this. and what trump out there, sam stuff like he'll like melbourne and those because they'd been shot at real it's kind of the preliminary qualification for getting one is to get shot at j.d. vance says some 70 asinine thing every other day as doctrine in presidential politics have says, if your opponent keep shooting himself, don't, don't get in his way in about long foam press conference, this medication david, i have had callers to my radio program question whether he's trying to lose it, whether he's trying to tank it and my response is to say his liberty interest is on the line. this is a guy who for his own freedom and for financial reasons, he needs to win this race well i think that's part of the problem, michael, i think he is you know, the stakes for him are

much larger than for any normal candidate because the consequences of a defeat is that he's going to have to face the bar of justice here and he thought he had beaten it. >> he thought that he had won when we were in milwaukee, the talk there was a landslide and it was it felt like the they were talking about the terms of surrender that they were going to demand and he was very he felt very serene that he had beaten is now all of a sudden his life is flashing before his eyes, and i think it's one of the things that's unsettling him, but they send them out yesterday to do a press conference or two days ago about the economy and his big challenge is to make her the incumbent not the turn the page candidate and he wants to link her to biden in a way that will make her the incumbent and that was what the press conference was all about and instead, he blew himself up and spent ten minutes on his legal problems

and lashing out at in other places. >> and he overwhelmed the message of his own press conference. >> he is not a competent candidate right now and one of the questions about this debate is, is that the guy who's going to step on the debate stage? because if it is, they got a world of hurt hey james, final question for you. look forward to this week. it's the democratic national convention, is it a given that it's another week of good press for her or is the risk of the situation with israel and gaza such that's chicago could again become something i'll, in 1968 the one thing we knew about politics, but we know it better than we ever known it right now nothing is a given but i think her job in chicago and a job at a convention as people really don't know, vice president harris at well, there were no she'd vice president we know certain things about it on the surface but this is a chance

for to tell her story and if she gets her story told they'll come out of that convention with something fundamentally good. >> now the perimeter around the convention is going to be pretty tight, but i'm sure people have a right to demonstrate devil, you know, upset the united states so i suspect there will be some demonstrations, but in terms of security to convention, i think it will be fine and might be a little difficult or around downtown chicago or something, i see david and helped me navigate it. he tells us what may around we got to cover that's recovered brother david, your hometown. >> it's it's your hometown. give me 30 seconds on the convention i agree with everything that james said. >> look, there may be some there obviously going to be protest and there may be some malign forces that want to throw logs on that fire. and that's something that you know, the folks who are here to

provide security need to be aware of. but i really think that this is a great opportunity for her for all the reasons, james said, and i think they'll take advantage of it they've turned a battleship in three weeks from a biden convention, which would have been 80% carpet bombing on trump two to a harris convention which is going to be a lot of storytelling about her and her values and our history and i think there'll be successful axelrod and carville thank you both very much. let's do this again before the election. thank you what are your thoughts hit me up on social media and i'll read some throughout the course of the program from the world of x. what do we have catherine? everyone knows everything there is to know about trump. no one knows anything about harris. the risk is her as well. i think there's also a great segue from paul's comment into today's poll question, which is between now and election day. who's going to make fewer big mistakes, they're each going to make mistakes. and i think paul's got a point he's still in the pool. we're still at the stage of getting to know

the democratic candidate for president. but which of the two of them is going to make fewer mistakes go to smerconish.com and cast a ballot on that question. i've had nothing separates a voter opinions about the candidates like gender how come pollster and communication strategist frank luntz is here to explain also when you're voting sign up for my free and worthy daily newsletter. steve breen, sketched wordings this week five. >> good things. >> listen wherever you get your podcasts i have dry i retired, itchy burning my symptoms got worse over time. >> my eye doctor explained the route was inflammation so he prescribed via adre hunter works differently. zeidler targets inflammation over-the-counter drops, don't do this the only hit pause and

prepared to address one more. if i've got time for it, do i quickly another social media reaction. what do we have? look at chicago, all boarded up just like the 2020 election wasn't necessary if biden one, who are the destructors, good question. i hope there's no unrest in chicago. i'm particularly interested to see whether the delegates who are in that hall are some supportive of the situation of the palestine. in other words, i'm wondering if there's going to be any ruckus in inside the hall as compared to what goes on outside. and i think that if there's any discontent inside the arena, it will become a bigger issue than whatever there might be outside. make sure you're voting on today's poll question. it is this at smerconish.com between now and election day, who will make fewer big mistakes? kamala harris or die? and old trump still to come. what's behind the gender divide? if you think tipping culture is already out of hand, think about what would happen if workers no longer had to pay taxes on tips something

male and female voters. men favoring trump by 12, women favoring harris by ten. joining me now is frank luntz pollster and communications strategist, frank, two to three times a week, you're conducting focus groups, you know, a little something about the subject why the size of this gender divide in this race? >> well, the problem is that kamala harris reminds men of the first wife and donald trump reminds women of their first husband's divorce lawyer and it's actually kind of true. and now it's funny. it's kind of true and trump is losing is actually going out of his way to insult his way to this huge gender. and it's not a gap. it's a chasm and as you said in the introduction, we've never seen this before. i actually believe that they're going to be divorces because of the battle between them first,

don't insult opponent for how they look, how they speak. >> women can stay in that second. they expect you to focus on the future, not on anger about the past. and that's again, the exact opposite of what trump is actually doing. >> and third particularly now, we've had arguably eight years of this rough and tumble of politics the economy has been challenging. >> inflation is clearly made lives more typical for so many people and that you want to, you want to lean into that you acknowledged that you show people a solution you give them ideas for how they can change it. that's exactly what harris did yesterday. you may disagree with what she's saying but at least she is addressing it. donald trump surrounds himself as you said in that first brilliant segment, by the way, i think you're the first person to bring carville and axelrod together. good for you and your introduction showing the weaknesses and both trump and harris, good for you again,

the problem that we have right now is attorney news outlets seek to provide information that affirms people's choices rather than informs those choices, but what's critical here go ahead. >> okay. i want to put something on the screen and i'll read it aloud so that so that you can follow, because i can't explain this data. this is courtesy of my colleague harry enten when you look nationally at the gender divide, it had been biden by four among women, it grows to 11 for kamala harris trump plus nine against biden, still plus nine against harris now, however, if you take a look at pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan, put that up on the screen. the divide grows even further among women, harris, by 17 among men trump by 15. do you have any thoughts as to why in those three states, the

gender divide would be even more pronounced than what we see nationally yes, because no one seeing the campaign except for those three states and four others, and you've mentioned them already, that the truth is, this is not a nationwide campaign, is it campaign to win just seven states? >> so they're going to see all the ads, particularly the negative ones. they're going to get all of this intense focus. and i frankly feel sorry for them because they're going to get inundated over the next three months and it becomes oppressive when it's all this negativity. why the other side is evil, and why their enemies not just opponents and specifically it's the younger men versus the younger women. the divide gets smaller and smaller as you get older and older, once you are aged 60 and older, divide actually it's insignificant. the biggest divide is among younger women who see in harris themselves at some point in the future, and younger men who like trump's

rough and tumble approach to politics, you even see within the black community, younger men under age 35 a third of them were voting for trump over biden and older women in the black community. it was 95 to three in favor of the democratic nominee. so the divide isn't just gender-based is also generationally based. and i think it's going to get even wider as we move closer to the left you're explanation makes sense. i'm a lifelong pennsylvania and i feel i guess as people who live in iowa or new hampshire feel at the outset of a presidential cycle, every four years in terms of the bombardment of information mostly advertising in the race, so that we would be more attenuated to some of the issues that would bring out the issue divide. it makes sense. frank luntz, thank you. appreciate you being here thank you. more social media reaction. this comes from the world of youtube. yes, you can

find me there as well. 9% good lord, these men cannot handle the idea of a woman president. well, okay, you could say that, but can we put back up on the screen? the divide in those three states? harris, we just had that last full screen and put that back up okay. there you go. let's just let's just think for a moment. take a look at this. take a look at this in pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan arguably, frank luntz buys into this the three most important states in this election. there was a gender divide among women that was to the benefit of president biden, ten points. men favoring trump by 17. now, you look at what's happened given that biden has been replaced by its 17 points among women 15 points among men i guess i would say if you're making the observation that's what the social media response suggested like, hey, what's wrong with these men? you could say the same thing about women. it used to be, i would say that

education was the best predictor. tell me someone's level of education and i have a reasonable chance of telling you how the vote in the presidential election in this cycle, gender is replacing education. just my $0.02 still to come, trump was the first to campaign on not taxing tips harris soon jumped on board. is it a good idea? won't everyone want their income to be regarded as, hey, that was a tip that was not income. somebody on wall street, my bonus was actually a tip. my next guest has the expertise and credentials to analyze that are you voting on today's poll question? i hope so. go to smerconish.com and tell me this between now and election day who will make fewer big mistakes? they're both going to make mistakes who's going to make fewer big mistakes? kamala harris or donald trump, while you're there voting in, sign up for the newsletter, check out with jack ohman, sketched for us this week. love that

including to raise the minimum wage eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers trump was the first to suggest the idea he accused harris of copying his proposal for political reasons in 2022, harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass. >> the inflation reduction act, which gave the irs 80 billion in additional funding that money in part would later be used to crack down on service industry workers reporting tips. so they could be taxed. both candidates when will appeal to about 4 million workers that relied on earning tips last year, specifically, in the battleground state of nevada, but both of these tax policies would require approval from congress joining me now is stephen rosenthal fall a senior fellow at the urban-brookings tax policy center, a practice tax law for over 25 years. steven good to see you. i think tipping is out of control. i tip for good service, but to even go have a cup of coffee is

to be asked even before they've retrieved the coffee, how much do you want to tip? this is going to make it worse. no no absolutely make it worse. a bad situation, worse when we favor tips from a tax standpoint, we will get more tips so good politics may be if you're trying to win in nevada, but why be more expansive? is it bad policy in your opinion? >> well, the problem is targeting the lower paid workers that we all would like to help i'll help congress draft the tax rolls for many years in the 90s and oftentime, we discovered especially later, that we missed the people that we wanted to help. and we helped people that we wanted to miss so we might not help the lower-paid attack, lower paid

workers in the fashion that all of us are sympathetic to. we might end up being investment bankers on their bonuses or hedge funds on their performance fees or even we might see teachers being requested a more gifts or maybe your household employees, your plumber, your mates many of grocery tellers will see an increase in tips. oftentimes from people we would not like to like to expand their treatment has it technology also changed this entire subject area? >> if i give someone a valet five bucks for retrieving my car, i don't know if the $5 is being reported entirely, but if i'm using a keypad right, if i'm using freedom pay, because i see it all the time on a keypad system and i'm plugging in 20% presumably that's being tracked i think that's a

problem. and i think that's what's driving the increased demand to exempt tax exempt tips on tax historically many tip, tip recipients are simply did not report but with technology developing a point of sale developments hours being captured, i think it's a lot easier for now, the irs to oversee that tips are actually being reported honestly here in afford the irs is only enforced tips through voluntary efforts, compliance efforts with employers, as opposed to extensive audits. and i think the concern is the rnc going to have more and more tools at its disposal and more and more tips will have to be reported but if we exempt if you're not up for workers, we will find that many more workers, not just lower paid service workers. will see their compensation in the form of tips. and we'll get a lot

more tip requests on those ipads you describe well, aren't you incentivizing employers not to have a higher hourly wage? instead, they'll opt to say, you can take your compensation in the form of a tip because after all, you wouldn't be paying taxes on it, isn't this contrary to escalating wages is what i'm trying to say. >> well, i think so. i think that the more straightforward way to help lower paid workers is to increase the minimum wage and the subminimum wage for tipped workers instead, if we have more tips by customers, will find the employer's shifting some of the wage burden to, customers. this might be a windfall for employers rather than a benefit to employees stephen, here's some social media reaction that has just come in. >> we'll put it up on the screen both address it. this isn't about tips, says michael he doesn't care about that. i presume that trump reference. he's looking to make bonuses

tax-free, a huge windfall for rich folks in disguise, i have to note kamala harris is also in support of this idea. so i don't know if that person would say the same thing. what's your response? >> well, as drafted senator cruz introduced in the congress of the trump plan, or at least his take on the trump plan that was riddled with loopholes where investment bakers could exclude bonuses, arguably hedge fund managers could exclude performance bees. lawyers could, could exclude success fees. but frankly, it's not too hard to limit the benefits for high income earners. and kamala harris promised to do so to distinguish her proposal from trump's having said that, it's still going to be hard to draw a proper scope around tips and not spill over into other forms of compensation. as i

said earlier, there are a lot of lower paid workers never see wages, but soon to be if they were enacted legislation to exempt tips i see a, lot more shifting to tip requests than wages stephen rosenthal. >> thank you for your expertise. we appreciate it to me just seems like a blatant bid for the votes of nevada residents we'll see how it pans out. you still got time to vote on today's poll question. go to smerconish.com and tell me this between now and election day. who will make fewer? big mistakes, they're both going to make mistakes. who's gonna make fewer big mistakes? kamala harris or donald trump subscribe to the newsletter while you're there, you'll see the work of editorial oriol cartoonists like rob rogers he be on the

amount of voting was huge, real quick. social media reaction, if we've got time for one because i've got something very important to say. obviously, it's harris, it's harris. trump's biggest issue is he talks too much, especially about things in the rearview mirror. harris is only problem could be the debate. but there's a lot of time until that, not that much time. i mean, the kids are going to be back-to-school real soon if they're not already friday night lights and high-school football, but we'll be back among us. the debate will take place and people will be voting i've got a personal note that i want to close with. our team was stunned and saddened on thursday to learn of the passing of our colleague and friend, david handelman david was a gifted writer and producer who was with this prografteoul with a great wit after graduating from harvard, david as a print journalist before pivoting to television, writing and producing for shows on cbs and nbc abc hbo, the cw, and
