you. the president here in the scranton area on the very same night joe biden will speak at his own convention. president trump says even though joe biden was born in this area his economic values don't match up anymore with the blue-collar workers here. take a listen. president trump: joe biden is no friend of pennsylvania. he is actually for the reasons we just said he is your worst nightmare. biden supported every single globalist attack on pennsylvania workers. reporter: that the is argument the trump campaign feels will resonate in this part of this key state and it worked four years ago. mr. trump saying today hopes to build on it. president trump: in a second term in office we will create 10 million jobs in the next year. we will end our reliance on china and other countries for drugs and other things. [applause] we will make our critical drugs, medicines and supplies here in

the united states. we will give tax credits to companies. reporter: all of this said it is joe biden who has been leading in the polls here in pennsylvania. we've been around the state talking to a number of voters here the last couple of nights ahead of the former vice president's speech tonight. we even stopped by his old neighborhood, drove by the old biden childhood home earlier today. he moved away when he was 11 years old. you speak to the biden supporters, they say they want change. it is trump supporters who will probably decide this election this time around in a state like pennsylvania, the ones who voted for him last time. some of those trump supporters do say they have soured in some ways on the president. however, many of those same people who are starting to turn on president trump when we speak to them in voter interviews they say they have not quite jumped on the biden bandwagon. the former vice president gets his biggest chance to make the case tonight at the convention.

david: what was great to hear a real audience after all these virtual audience. at least the president had a real audience there. connell, good to see you. thank you very much. chaos in the states, in the streets across u.s. cities as violence escalates. crime is surging and riots, they just keep raging on n portland, oregon, protesters breaking i.c.e. building windows. police responding with tear gas. while the manhunt is still underway for the suspect accused of that savage beatdown in the street. new details emerge on his the criminal's past, seven arrests in the past eight years, including domestic assault and criminal trespass charges. now the victim of that horrific attack is speaking out. watch this. >> i stepped out of the vehicle. i didn't even think anyone was following me still. before i got my door open someone was yanking me out and i hit the ground. i sat there for a while. they wouldn't let me get up.

david: that is the result of mob violence. all this as vice-presidential nominee kamala harris ignoring the violence in her keynote speech. encouraging more protestors take to the streets. listen. >> there's something happening all across our country. it is not about joe or me. it's about you and it's about us. people of all ages and colors and creeds who are, yes, taking to the streets and also persuading our family mem members, rallying our friends, organizing our neighbors -- david: welcome congressman mark green of tennessee on the house homeland security committee. he is a also a former e.r. physician. we'll ask him about health care in a moment. first, congressman, what do you make of the deafening silence at the democratic convention about

the violence in our streets? >> thanks, david, for having me on the show. what we're see hijacking of outrage about george floyd, by an an arc differents, criminals. they want to destroy america. democrats are not for assault but they want to take advantage of what is going on, they think this chaos, plus covid equals trump out of office. they're being quiet about it. they see it as an advantage to them. they're not concerned about the people. they're not concerned about the individual getting hurt. they're not concerned about the crime. look at chicago, michigan avenue looks like beirut. and still, don't come help us, mr. president. for them it is really about winning in november and nothing else. david: you say they're not for assault. how can you be for an organization, an organization openly continues to advocate

violence in the streets? i'm talking about black lives matter activists who are encouraging people to destroy buildings. who are defending looters saying it is some form of reparation for slavery? even elizabeth warren who was on last night virtually at the convention, she was speaking from a schoolroom. it looked like an elementary schoolroom, in the back of her somebody planted b--l-m, standing for black lives matter. it is extraordinary, at some point how will they explain how they divorce themselves if they're for blm, how can they be for what blm activists are advocating which is violence in the streets? >> sure. there is a movement out there for reconciliation. we need reconciliation in this country. we don't need riots. we need people to come together. no time in our history have we

needed to address, i mean, my black brothers, my white brothers have got to get together on this. we have to save our country from these anarchists. the democrats again, they see it as chaos advantage tank just to them. they are supportive of chaos in order to win in november. that is what it comes down to for them. our nation is being ripped apart. it is time for reconciliation, not for rioting. >> it is time to expose the farce this is still based on civil rights. we had something happen in williamsburg in the brooklyn area of new york the other night where the whole foods there was attacked. an apple store was attacked. signs on the walls were murder jeff bezos. here is what one of the observers of this said concerning its relationship to civil rights. the irony of it is you can clearly tell everyone on the video is white. it is like, do you guys even

know when you're doing this for? these are not civil rights protests. these are a bunch of spoiled white kids, primarily, who were out causing trouble in the streets. it just has to stop. what connects it to the crime that is happening, that is exploding on the streets of new york and chicago and portland and elsewhere is the liberal anti-policing policies of the democratic structures in politics in those cities. >> absolutely. the defund the police movements have been a big part of encouraging this. you look at the crime where they said, let's defund the police, where they have taken action. 36 of america's top 50 cities have seen double-digit increases in murders. we're not just talking violent crime and robbery or anything like that. we're talking homicide. this is craziness. this chaos, which is, you know, for the anarchists has to stop. david: it is not only leading to

the deaths of individuals which is horrible but it is also leading to the death of cities. i mean as people, as more of this crime continues, people are moving out. they're coming back from their stays in the country during the coronavirus lockdown and they're packing their bags, they are moving out. you have things like in new york, ems workers are now being cut. they're on the cutting block. there will be garbage trucks that won't be able to pick up the garbage. so you will have the spread of the diseases that come from garbage. i remember these things happening in the '70s and the '80s when crime was at its zenith. it is not only new york. it is chicago, portland, seattle, all the places run by democrats. >> democrat policies, they will do something great, increase taxes, build something cool for the community. then all the people who pay taxes leave that community and it, becomes, they can't sustain what they built.

thomas sowell said it from the very beginning. democrats don't look at secondary or tertiary results of their decision. we're cutting ems in new york? those medics are critical saving people's lives. de blasio wants to cut them out of the budget. he is either stupid or trying to leverage for something else. that makes no sense to me. it is the tail end, tertiary effect much democrat policies are failing everywhere in our cities. david: as an e.r. physician, it must scare the hell out of you, you may not have enough ems workers, essential workers who do save lives. exactly people who save lives like cops, ems workers, et cetera, who we will be without in our cities? >> that is exactly right. they're critical. you think of them transmitting an ekg of a patient with a chest

pain to the emergency department. i see it is myocardial infarction i tell them pushing drugs that will save the person's life before they show up to the emergency department. we often say, time is muscle, time is heart, in the case of stroke is the brain. every second counts for ems people. they save lives. de blasio wants to cut them out of the budget? david: he is a socialist. he is going to have to do something like that as a result of his socialist policies. you mentioned thomas sowell, i interviewed him a year ago. he said i'm afraid we have to go through socialism before americans realize it won't work. he has been right about so many everything. >> if we get back to federalism, allow washington and california try it. tennessee, see how they run a economically successful state. maybe they learn from that.

david: a lot of tax exiles going to tennessee. dr. mark green, congressman from tennessee. thank you. coming up congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez snapping back after former louisiana governor bobby jindal tweeting about the short window she had for her dnc speech. we'll ask jindal himself about that. postmaster general louis dejoy to testify before a senate panel tomorrow. testify about the security of mail-in ballots. we have more details on that right here. >> i want to make it perfectly clear whatever way a given state chooses to vote, those votes are going to be counted. the post office is not in trouble. we're going to make sure that they are able to deliver our ballots on time. the postmaster addressed i thought pretty well yesterday.

♪. david: new york representative alexandria ocasio-cortez taking a swipe at our next guest, former louisiana governor and 2016 republican presidential candidate bobby jindal. after jindal tweeted about the short window democrats gave the progressive congresswoman for her convention speech. joining me is bobby jindal himself. good to see you. thank you for coming in. she didn't waste much time getting back to your tweet. she tweeted out, if i can read

it here -- she first bragged how wonderful she is a speaker getting it all in 60 seconds, meanwhile you, meaning bobby jindal is supporting gop sabotage. never mind she misspelled sobsabotage of people's medicine, votes by mail. apparently democracy means nothing to you. can you tell us how you're exactly sabotaging people's medicine and votes? >> i started out as a playful jess. maybe we should give her more time at our convention. i understand why biden didn't want her to speak more than a minute. more seriously, i really think this whole dnc convention, this whole week has been false advertising. they don't have the courage of their convictions. the reality aoc, bernie sanders they have taken over the democratic party.

if you read the democratic party platform. you have the courage to say, democrats are for "medicare for all," green new deal, open borders, defunding the police. raising taxes four trillion dollars. they will not say that. they will hide, stay in the basement. i thought i would have fun. if aoc wants more than 60 seconds, come to the republican convention. go to venezuela they giver plenty of time to talk. the more she talks the better trump does in the election. david: the democrats right now seem to be schizophrenic. they don't really know who they are. they will have to find a way to present themself to one face to the american public because people can't vote for two faces. they have to choose one. and is it the face of alexandria ocasio-cortez and bernie sanders or is it the face of so-called moderate joe biden? >> i think biden has done a great job pretending to be

moderate. the reality he has gone further and further to the left after he was presumptive nominee. that is opposite of what candidates do. they normally run to the left and come to the middle. he did the opposite. he spent the primary criticizing bernie over the green new deal, "medicare for all." after he got the votes he made aoc the co-chair of the climate change task force. he has taken more radical positions for climate. he appointed senator harris who is against fracking. specifically told people if you like private insurance. that is too bad. was for "medicare for all" but waffled on issue. senator harris is clearly for the green new deal. the radical left, the platform is a lot more liberal, radical, than anything president up obama was for. that is the crazy thing. this party, biden-harris ticket is running on the most radical, liberal democrat policies every democrat proposed for our country. they're doing a good job to hide

it. they're trying to have it both ways. they're pretending when you look the a their abortion policies. not moderate when you look at criminal justice policies. this is not a moderate ticket. david: governor, good to see you, my friend. >> great to see you as well, david. >> we'll be right bacacacac ta-da! did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? given my unique lifestyle, that'd be perfect! let me grab a pen and some paper. know what? i'm gonna switch now. just need my desk... my chair... and my phone. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ as business moves forward, we're all changing the way things get done. like how we redefine collaboration... how we come up with new ways to serve our customers... and deliver our products.

♪. david: former fbi attorney kevin clinesmith will be sentenced september 10th for doctoring a document to justify surveillance of former trump campaign advisor carter page. the charge he faces a maximum of five years in prison but reports say it is unlikely he will serve that much, if any jail time. it is the first criminal case to come from u.s. attorney john durham's investigation into the origins of the trump-russia probe but many democrats still refuse to admit there was any wrongdoing under the obama administration. here is illinois senator dick durbin speaking to this point on fox news this morning. >> when it comes to spying on the trump campaign, here is what it boiled down to the intelligence agencies were in fact monitoring conversations of the russian ambassador to the united states and when that ambassador engaged with general kelly they picked up on the

conversation. there is the spying. it had nothing to do with focusing on kelly. they were focusing on kislyak, the ambassador. when they went into conversations about lifting sanctions on russia, that is when the intelligence agency picked up on it. david: yeah, right. joining me is pennsylvania's guy reschenthaler from the house judiciary committee. congressman, great to see you. you know kevin clinesmith admits, he admits that he committed a felony in order to spy on an american, not on a russian, but on an american. that specifically, senator durbin sees nothing wrong with that. your response to him? >> well, david, first off, thanks for having me on tonight. david: thank you. >> the bottom line is that the democrats i feel are living in an alternate reality. we know that clinesmith lied, he actually forged an email to make it seem that carter page was a russian asset. he was actually an asset of the cia. he was being used to get

information on the russians. and when clinesmith forged an email and presented that email to the fisa court judges he lied to the judges, presented false information and he should face the maximum penalty of five years. hopefully he will then turn on those above him and we can do what is called a bust and turn operation where you get somebody lower on the rung and you work your way up. but what the senator was saying is completely false. as far as the obama administration trying to spy on the trump organization, we know they set out to this. jim comey what i call the merry band of negative trumpers set out to help hillary clinton win the 2016 election. when they failed to change the course of that election, they tried to undermine the transition of power between the obama administration and the trump administration. david: well the evidence we have now evidence. and clearly durham is going to

dig up more evidence. he already has got it though. we know what clinesmith's motive was for breaking the law which he admitted to. here is what he said just days after the election in 2016. he said the crazies finally won. this is the tea party on steroids. we have to fight this again. also vice president mike pence is stupid. the guy, the guy just hates the trump administration. he hated them before they were elected. he hated them the day or two after they were actually elected. he was going to use his power to lie and cheat to try to get the trump administration out of office, to defy the will of the people. that is more than just a minor criminal offense. that is really treason. >> well, david, it just wasn't clinesmith. there are a whole bunch of unelected bureaucrats that were trying to undermine the will of the american people, undo the 2016 election t wasn't just him

t was jim comey. it was strzok and page wanted quote-unquote quote insurance policy in case trump won. the merry band of never-trumpers. they tried to set up michael flynn. we have copy of their note. what is the point of the get him to lie. fire him. put pressure on him. they set out to undermine this president. by extension the will of the american people. david: yet listen to a woman who actually agreed with your analysis of what comey did when she was speaking to senator lindsey graham the other day, listen what she told the democratic convention the other night. play the tape. >> from the moment president trump took office he used his position to benefit himself rather than our country. he has trampled the rule of law, trying to weaponize our justice department, to attack his enemies and protect his friends. >> that of course is sally

yates. she is the former attorney general much of the united states. she was fired by president trump which he has right to do. sounds like she is talking about the obama-biden administration. >> this is classic social justice warrior. classic liberal tactics the left will use what they are doing to attack the right and to attack conservatives. the ones that weaponized and poe littized the fbi were higher echelon of the fbi under the obama administration. everything she is accusing president trump of doing, it was actually the obama administration and jim comey that was doing it. david: right. >> so they're trying to deflect. they're trying to conflate and confuse the american people but it is not going to work. david: i hope not but the bottom line here is when she is under oath, she tells the truth about what comey and rest of them were doing but speaking at the

democratic convention nobody swore her in to say what she said. she has a different tune. quickly, did clinesmith make a deal to rat on somebody higher up, maybe john brennan, maybe higher than that? >> that is the case i'm not aware of it. the sentencing is in december. perhaps something can be worked out from now to then. but i think that someone had to have had knowledge higher up than clinesmith. that person may be, maybe it is jim comey. maybe susan rice. maybe it is even then vice president joe biden but someone had to have been aware at a higher level. clinesmith was forging documents and then lying to the fisa court judges. david: congressman reschenthaler, i'm glad you're on the house judiciary committee. we thank you for coming in. good to see you. >> thank you, david. you too. david: goodyear tire company speaking out after president trump called for a boycott over a cop policy some say is unfair and biased. we'll show you the evidence and you decide. republican strategist ford

employees wearing maga hats, all lives matter hat or any other kind of clothing and blue lives matters, also forbidden apparel while still allowing black lives matter apparel. one employ shared what he claims is a slide from the corporate office outlining the policy, though goodyear strongly denies it. you see it there in black and white. with me is republican strategist, ford o'connell. good to see you, ford. you really have to look exactly what they said was acceptable and what they said was unacceptable. by the way, not only do we have the screen shot i just showed, we also have sound from the seminar in which they were explaining this to the workers. we'll put up acceptable and unacceptable categories. acceptable is black lives matter, started by a group of marxists. their cohorts advertise all over the place that it is okay to burn down buildings, to hang

cops until they're dead but meanwhile police themselves, it is unacceptable to wear any kind of blue lives matter material or clothing. and again you go down the line. all lives matter is unacceptable as well. you can't even say all lives matter. masking ga material. maga material. trump picked a good target. this is the forced political correctness that makes no sense. it is okay to accept marxists. it is okay not to accept police. it is being forced on us by a politically correct culture americans are sick of, no? >> you're absolutely right and i think president trump is absolutely right as well. this is far bigger than goodyear. this is censorship and political bias. what exception expressions are acceptable and what expressions are not. in the workplace, if you're republican or conservative,

devout christian you pretty much have to keep your mouth shut you risk getting fired f you're a democrat, you want to express to your colleagues the stage is yours. i'm a big free speech guy. i hate censorship, but the bottom line is keep it fair. david: what black lives matter is doing, there was another black lives matter activists he was one of the intellectual leaders if you part done the expression of black lives matter, he says it is okay to tear down statues of jesus christ if they look too white. anybody that knows anything about christianity he claimed to be a christian, depends where you are. in many african cultures they have black versions of christ. some black versions of the virgin mary. in other cultures in latin america they have latin american versions. he doesn't even get it but he is advocating for the destruction of christianity. they're trying to wipe out the culture wholesale, aren't they? >> they are trying to wipe out

the culture wholesale. we discussed this before. they want to make the eventual case that the united states constitution is racist because it was written by a bunch of white guys. this is about making sure we eventually become a socialist/marxist culture they can write the narrative and control all of us. it is important that we put our foot down, whether in the public square or in the workplace to make sure we protect everyone's right to express things. if we cannot have a quality of expression in the workplace, then we need to censor everyone's expression. david: actually by the way happening to my own church where they are defacing the church property in horrible ways i don't even want to go to here. there is one democratic, former democratic presidential candidate who seems to get it or at least is trending in the right direction. he spoke out about this the other night. let me play the sound bite from andrew yang. >> democrats have tendency to have a message out there and then if you don't like the message, well, it's your fault.

there is something wrong with you. i think that is what a lot of the folks i met on the trail have picked up on. there is patronizing element to a lot of what we say and do. it is hurting us. and it's wrong. it's unproductive. it's great way to not win. david: ford, i think andrew yang gets it, doesn't he? >> andrew yang absolutely gets it. that is the reason why he doesn't have a large speaking role at the dnc convention this week. democrats want to circle the wagons, back each other up and not speak out what is right or wrong. their whole goal is to beat trump and they will lie and cheat their way to do it. david: ford o'connell, thank you very much. coming up with the dnc final night tonight, former cke restaurant ceo andy puzder says who will foot the bill for the democrats proposals? they cost trillions of dollars. president trump: as good as the

source of wealth. all they do is take what other people have made and spread it out a little, right? >> well, absolutely f you don't have economy where private sector businesses are growing, hiring, creating jobs, creating that competition for workers that causes wages to go up like we had before the pandemic, then you end up with a terrible economy that obama left for president trump. the last year i believe, gdp was 1.6% under president obama. if the labor participation rate had been the same as he left office when he took office, unemployment with be 9%. they have got this fantasy vision that government can create jobs. that government can create private sector growth. and it can't. they don't have one program, not one program, not one policy that would incentivize private sector businesses to grow or create jobs. all of their plans are, you grow government, you increase taxes to pay for it, which again,

discourages growth. it doesn't encourage it. david: not only discourages growth. it sends people packing. individuals and companies pack their bags and they move. that is why we had the greatest job creation ever in this country under the first three years of trump because he lowered the tax rates and brought companies back from places like ireland that had lower rates. >> that is absolutely the case. we're seeing it now with cities across the united states. i read today that in san francisco, which has a very high tax rate, the number of homes for sale are up 200% from last year. people are leaving high-taxed, high violence areas in the united states like chicago. lou: like new york, like san francisco and moving to places like nashville or like dallas, texas or down to florida, where you have a friendlier business environment, a friendlier tax environment. if the national policy becomes like the policies in these democrat-controlled cities, a lot of people are going to leave

the country. a lot of businesses are going to leave. you recall during the obama era, a lot were leaving. reincorporating outside of the united states. david: it is amazing how we never learn the lesson. over and over and over again. andy puzder, great to see you. thank you very much. we'll be right i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424.

i appreciate what makes each person unique. that's why i like liberty mutual. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. almost done. what do you think? i don't see it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

president trump: they're going to pay at the border, at the gate. cars going through. we may do a toll for money being sent back and forth. they will pay for it. david: interesting idea. president trump floating idea of adding a toll at the border crossings paying for the wall. as department of defense inspector general confirming that sending troops down to the border is in fact legal. joining me to discuss it at all, retired acting i.c.e. homeland director tom homan. so much to discuss. can a cross-border tax pay for the wall? >> it would help pay for the well but we got to remember country of mexico is paying a lot of that wall, sending troops from the southern border to the northern border. remain in mexico. all the people claiming asylum. mexico acree he had to all of

this, i.c.e. detention is 35% of where they were last year. take cost of detention and medical care which is around $3 billion, the country of mexico has that down half. i.c.e. already saved over a billion dollars, close to two billion dollars. if you add the court costs, immigration courts, medical expenses, social services mexico is already saving this country billions of dollar, one way they are paying for that wall. david: interesting, interesting. second, military deployments at the border. apparently they're a go now according to a new ruling, right? >> i think they should be. look, people need to understand border security is national security. they need to understand that, during that crisis last year where we had thousands of family units coming through. david: caravans. >> over half, yeah, they said over half of the border patrol agents were no longer on the line taking care of family groups, changing diapers, making formula. when half the border patrol is not on the line, the line is vulnerable to terrorism, drugs.

that humanitarian issue, quickly changed into a national security issue. so having the military on the border, i think addresses a national security concern. so i think it's a good idea. david: that is extraordinary. we've been dealing with these problems for years, for decades, really. this is a president who said he was going to deal with it. he has been dealing with it. this is a real, important, accomplishment. mean while, we still have these attacks on i.c.e. this must be killing you, tom. former acting i.c.e. director. meanwhile, this is portland. i believe this is the one we saw in portland where, an i.c.e. building was attacked. with he saw that group in bend oregon surrounded ice agents prevented them from getting really bad hombres. they eventually got them. what you do make of the attacks on i.c.e.? >> first of all, your comments on the president, i worked for six presidents from ronald reagan. no president has done more to secure our border than donald trump. that is a stone cold fact.

i worked for six of them. as far as the attacks on i.c.e., it's a shame. if these people study did, like the issue in oregon, they're stopping this bus, letting i.c.e. do their job for hours. they are criminals on the bus. i.c.e. is protecting their community, taking criminals off the streets in their community. they ought to be thanking us. if they want to effect change. you will not bully i.c.e. doing their job. you don't like what i.c.e. does. go protell capitol hill to change the law. david: bingo. >> i.c.e. is enforcing laws enacted by congress. david: exactly. we have only a minute to go. we have the story about bannon, steve bannon getting arrested for this build the wall campaign, apparently was a scheme that he was involved with, siphoning money from this. the president back in july wrote the following, i disagreed with doing this very small section of the wall in a tricky area by a private group which raised money by ads. it was only done to make me look bad.

perhaps now it doesn't even work. should have been built like the rest of the wall, 500 plus miles. do you agree with the president, this was something that even, if it hadn't been found out to be a scheme it was a bad idea? >> first of all, steve bannon is found wrong and proven he needs to be held accountable. they spent two years looking prototypes what they want for border barrier. the experts on the border patrol tests nine different prototypes. they came up with what they want. this private project wasn't nor is near what the border patrol already studied and tested and wanted. i agree with the president. it doesn't follow the format of what the border patrol really wanted and studied. david: tom homan. we did it. covered four subjects in three minutes. final comment. you guys in i.c.e. and border security deserve our support and respect in never way possible. i thank you for your service, tom. i got to move on. i have to say that before we

end. i'm david asman in for elizabeth macdonald. you're watching "the evening edit" on fox business. that does it for us. watch coverage of the dnc. i will be with my buddy neil cavuto. thanks for watching tonight. have a great >> you're watching fox business coverage of the demic national convention. here is neil cavuto. neil: very good to have you with us. here we go. this is wrapup nine, the swan song. democratic nominee for president of the united states joe biden to strut his stuff and put a good crescendo on all of this. we got you covering offer every which angle. the president of the united states was not a passive player in all of this. very unusual for the opposition party to be just as active during the other party's convention. actually he has been acting more active. certainly meeting more and more people in some battleground
