that struggle as we speak, especially in this moment of crisis, especially with so many jobs lost. kamala and i both know that all folks are looking for, as my dad would say, is an even shot, give me a shot, a fair shot, shot at making it. and it would be the work of our administration to make sure they get a fair shot. working families need someone on their side in this nation because they certainly don't have anyone in the president now on their side. that's going to change in a biden harris administration. it's going to be gratifying to see the strong enthusiastic reaction to senator harris is our next vice president. you know, it comes from people all over the country.

it's already occurring. all over the country. all ideological views, all backgrounds. events of course, we are predictable some of them. comes from all over except of course from donald trump's white house and his allies. you all knew it was coming. you could have set your watch is to it. donald trump has already started his attack, calling kamala "nasty, whining about how she is mean" his appointees. it's no surprise because whining is what donald trump does best. is anyone surprised donald trump has a problem with a strong woman or strong women across the board? we know more is to come so let's be clear. if you're a working person worried about whether or not you'll have a job to go to,

whether or not you'll be able to pay your mortgage, pay your rent, worried about the poison in the air you breathe, the water you drink, worried about your civil rights, even your basic right to dignity. which is under attack with this administration. kamala harris has had your back and now we have to have her back. she's going to stand with me in this campaign and all of us are going to stand up for her. on january 20th, 2021, we are all going to watch senator harris raise her right hand and swear the oath of office as the first woman ever to serve in the second highest office in america in this land. then we're going to get to work fixing the mess of president trump and vice president pence both at

home and abroad through four years of mismanagement and coddling of terrorists and thugs. not only will we dig out of this hole, we will build back better. we have a public health crisis. while he's in court trying to do away with health care. more than 5 million reported infections. 165,000 people dead and climbing as a consequence of covid-19. and still months later no real leadership or plan from the president of the united states and how to get this pandemic under control. no real help from states and -- to states and local governments trying to fill the vacuum of leadership from the white house. no real help for children and educators, small businesses and front-line workers holding the

country together. instead, he's issuing executive orders and making promises that in the end will defund the social security system while insisting that this virus will disappear. the joe biden and campbell harris administration will have a comprehensive plan to meet the challenges of covid-19 and turned the corner on this pandemic. masking, clear science-based guidance, dramatically scaling up testing, getting states and local governments the resources they need to open schools and businesses safely. we can do this. we just need a president and vice president willing to lead and take responsibility. not as this president says, "it's not my fault. the governor should thank me

more." there's an old saying, "give me a break." we have an economic crisis. more than 16 millions americans, 16 million. still out of work. donald trump is on track to break another record. on track to leave office with the worst jobs record of any american president in modern history. but instead of doing the hard work and meeting face-to-face with congressional leaders, democrats and republicans, in the white house like every other president has done in a crisis, to get americans the relief they need and deserve. donald trump is on the golf course. if i told you this three years ago, you look at me was i -- like i was being crazy. he hasn't even met with the

leadership. he doesn't have time, it appea appears. we have a climate crisis that donald trump refuses to even acknowledge. when he thinks about climate change, all we hear is the word hoax. the biden-harris administration is going to beat the climate crisis, protect the health of the american public. along the way we are going to deliver one word: jobs. good paying jobs. we have a racial justice crisis. donald trump seeks only to inflame it with his politics of racist rhetoric and appeals to division. you know, today is not only the day i am proud to introduce senator kamala harris is the vice presidential nominee of the democratic party. it's also the third anniversary

of that terrible day in charlottesville. remember? remember what it felt like to see those neo-nazis. close your eyes. those klansmen, white supremacist. coming out of fields carrying lighted torches, faces contorted, bulging veins, pouring into the streets of the historic american city, spewing the same anti-semitic file that we heard in the 1930s. remember how it felt to see a violent clash in suit. -- violent clash ensue. for me it was a call to action. my father used to say silence is complicity. not original to him but he believed it. at that moment i knew i couldn't

stand by and let donald trump, a man who went on to say when asked about what he thought, he said they were very fine people on both sides. "very fine people on both sides." no president of the united states of america has ever said anything like that. cm continuing to attack everything. everything that makes america america. we were in the battle for the soul of a nation. that's when i decided to run. i am proud now to have senator harris at my side in that battle because she shares the same intensity i do. she is someone who knows what's at stake. the question is for all americans to answer, who are we as a nation. what do we stand for? most importantly what do we want to be? you know, someone who knows that

the future of this country is limited only by the barriers we place our own imaginations, because there's nothing americans cannot achieve we put our minds to it, only good together. one of the reasons i chose kamala is because we both believe we can define america simply in one word: possibilities. possibilities. let me say it again. possibilities. that's america. that's what sets this nation apart. everyone, everyone, the ability for everyone and we mean everyone to go as far and dream as big as hard work and their god-given ability will take them. when i agreed to serve as president obama's running mate, he asked me a number of

questions. the most important was he said to me, he asked me what i wanted most importantly? i told him i wanted to be the last person in the room before he made important decisions. that's when i asked kamala. i asked kamala to be the last voice in the room. to always tell me the truth, which she will. challenge my assumptions if she disagrees. ask the hard questions. that's the way we make the best decisions for the american people. i got a chance to spend some time in my home today, with kamala and doug and i want to thank them publicly for agreeing to join and take this journey with jill and me.

doug, you're going to have to learn what it means to be a barrier breaker in this job. america's first second gentleman. although they are not with us here today, i want to thank ellen cold. i had a chance to speak to doug's mom and dad. we are going to get our kids together. let them know what's coming. my grandchildren are about the age of their children. i got to speak to them. my campaign has always been a family affair. i have some news for you. they are all honorary bidens. here's the best part. kamala, you have been an honorary biden for quite some time. you know, i came to know who kamala was to our son, beau biden. they were friends.

they served as attorneys general at the same time, they took on the same big fights together. kamala in california, beau here in delaware. big fights that helped change the entire country. i know how much beau respected kamala and her work and that mattered a lot to me, to be honest with you, as i made this decision. so now we need to get to work. pulling this nation out of these crises we find ourselves in. getting our economy back on track, uniting the nation. yes, winning the battle for the soul of america. my fellow americans, let me introduce to you for the first time, your next vice president of the united states, kamala harris. kamala, the floor is yours.

>> thank you, joe. thank you, joe. as i said, joe, when you called me, i am incredibly honored by this responsibility, and i'm ready to get to work. i am ready to get to work. after the most competitive primary in history, the country received a resounding message that joe was the person to lead us forward. and joe, i'm so proud to stand with you. i do so mindful of all the heroic and ambitious women before me who sacrifice, determination, and resilience makes my presence here today even possible. this is a moment of real consequence for america.

everything we care about, our economy, our health, our children, the kind of country we live in, it's all on the line. we are reeling from the worst public health crisis in a century. president's mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the great depression. and we are experiencing a moral reckoning with racism and systemic injustice that has brought a coalition of conscience to the streets of our country demanding change. america is crying out for leadership. yet we have a president who cares more about himself than the people who elected him. a president who's making every

challenge we face even more difficult to solve. but here's the good news. we don't have to accept the failed government of donald trump and mike pence. just 83 days we have a chance to choose a better future for our country. so joe, dr. biden, thank you for the trust you've placed in me. jill, i know you will be an incredible first lady. my husband, doug, and i are so grateful, grateful to become a part of your extended family. and ever since i received jo's call, i've been thinking, yes, about the first biden that i really came to know and that of course is jo's beloved son, one of his beloved sons, beau.

in the midst of the great recession, must be i beau and i spoke on the phone almost every day, sometimes multiple times a day. working together to win back billions of dollars for homeowners from the big banks of the nation that were foreclosing on people's homes. let me just tell you about beau biden. i learned quickly that beau was the kind of guy who inspired people to be a better version of himself. he really was the best of us. when i would ask him, where did you get that, where did this come from? he would always talk about his dad. and i will tell you the love that they shared was incredible to watch. it was the most beautiful display of the love between a father and a son.

and beau talked about how joe would spend four hours every day riding the rails back and forth from wilmington to washington so he could make breakfast for his kids in the morning and make it home in time to talk them in bed each night. all of this so that two little boys who just lost her mom and sister in a tragic accident. was know the world was still turning. that's how i came to know joe. he is someone whose first response when things get tough is never to think about himself but to care for everyone else. he is someone who never asks wise this happening to me and instead asks what can i do to make life better for you. his empathy, his compassion, his

sense of duty to care for others is why i am so proud to be on this ticket. joe and i, yes, we are cut from the same cloth. family is everything to me too. i cannot wait for america to get to know my husband, doug, and our amazing kids, cole and ella. whether i am cheering in the bleachers at a swim meet or setting up a college room dorm or helping my goddaughter prepare for her school debate or building legos with my godson or hugging my nieces or cooking dinner, sunday dinner, my family means everything to me. i've had a lot of titles over my career and certainly vice president will be great. but momela will always be the one that means the most.

my mother and father, they came from opposite sides of the world to arrive in america. one from india and the other from jamaica, in search of a world-class education. what brought them together was the civil rights movement of the 1960s. that's how they met, as students in the streets of oakland, marching and shouting for this thing called justice in a struggle but continues today. i was part of it. my parents would bring me to protests strapped tightly in my stroller and my mother raised my sister and me to believe it was up to us in every generation of americans to keep on marching. she would tell us don't sit around and complain about things, do something. so i did something. i devoted my life to making real

the words carved in the united states supreme court "equal justice under law." 30 years ago i stood before a judge for the first time, breathed deep, and uttered the phrase that would truly guide my career and there rest of my career. kamala harris for the people. the people. that's why represented as district attorney, fighting on behalf of victims wounded help. the people. that's who i fought for in california's attorney general when i took on transnational criminal organizations who traffic in guns and drugs and human beings. it's the people who i have thought for as a united states senator where i worked every day to hold trump officials accountable to the american people. and the people are who joe and i will fight for every day in the white house. let me tell you, as somebody who

is presented my fair share of arguments in court, the case against donald trump and mike pence is open and shut. just look where they have gotten us. more than 16 million out of wo work. millions of kids cannot go back to school. a crisis of poverty, of homelessness, afflicting black, brown, and indigenous people the most. a crisis of hunger afflicting one and five mothers who have children that are hungry. tragically, more than 165,000 lives that have been cut short. many with loved ones who never got the chance to say goodbye. he didn't have to be this way. six years ago, in fact, we had a different health crisis. it was called ebola.

we all remember that pandemic. but you know what happened then? barack obama and joe biden did their job. only two people in the united states died. two. that's what's called leadership. but compare that to the moment we find ourselves in now when other countries are following the signs, trump pushed miracle cures he saw on fox news. while other countries were flattening the curve, he said the virus would just go away. "like a miracle." so when other countries opened backup for business, what did we do? we had to shut down again. this virus has impacted almost every country, but there's a reason it has hit america worse than any other advanced nation.

it's because of trump's failures to take it seriously from the start. his refusal to get testing up and running, his flip-flopping on social distancing and wearing masks, his delusional belief that he knows better than the experts. all of that is reason and the reason that an american dies from covid-19 every a.d. seconds. it's why countless businesses bed to shut their doors for good. it's why there's complete chaos over when and how to reopen our schools. mothers and fathers are confused and uncertain and angry about child care and the safety of their kids in school, whether they will be in danger if they go or fall behind if they don't.

trump is also the reason millions of americans are now unemployed. he inherited the longest economic expansion in history from barack obama and joe biden. and then like everything else he inherited him, he ran it straight into the ground. because of trump's failures in leadership, our economy has taken one of the biggest hits hot of all the major industrialized nations, with an unemployment rate that has tripled as of today. this is what happens when we elect a guy who just isn't up for the job. our country ends up in tatters. and so does our reputation around the world. but let's be clear.

this election isn't just about defeating donald trump or mike pence. it's about building this country back better. and that's exactly what joe and i will do. we'll create millions of jobs and fight climate change through a clean energy revolution. bring back critical supply chains so the future is made in america. build on the affordable care act so everyone has a peace of mind that comes with health insurance, and finally, offered caregivers the dignity, they respect, and the pay they deserve. we'll protect a woman's right to make her own decisions about her own body, root out systemic racism in our justice system, and pass a new voting rights a act. a john lewis voting rights act that will ensure every voice is

heard in every voice is counted. the civil rights struggle is nothing new to joe. it's why he got into public service. it's why he helped reauthorize the voting rights act and restore unemployment discrimination -- an employment descriptiodiscrimination laws. he takes his place in the ongoing story of america's merge towards equality and justice is the only, as the only, the only who is served alongside the first black president and has chosen the first black woman as his running mate. as joe always points out, this election is about more than politics. it's about who we are as a country. i'll admit over the past four years, there've been moments when i have truly worried about our future. whenever i think that there's a reason for doubt, whenever i've had my own doubts, i think of

you, the american people. doctors and nurses and front-line workers who are risking your life to save others. the truck drivers and the workers in grocery stores, in factories, on farms, working, putting your own safety on the line to help us get through this pandemic. the women and students taking to the streets in unprecedented numbers, the dreamers and immigrants who know families belong together. the lgbtq americans who know that love is love. people of every age and color and creed who are finally declaring in one voice that yes, black lives matter. all across this country, whole new generation of children is growing up hearing the cries for justice and the chance of hope on which i was raised.

some strapped into strollers of their own. trust me, it's a song you will never forget. so to everyone keeping up the fight, you are doing something. you are doing something great. you are the heroes of our time and you are the reason i know we are going to bring our country closer to realizing it's great promise. do it, we will need to work, organize and vote. we need more than a victory on november 3rd. we need a mandate that proves the last few years don't represent who we are or who we aspire to be. joe likes to say character is on the ballot, and it's true. when he saw what happened in charlottesville three years ago today, he knew we were in a battle for the soul of our nation. together with your help, that's a battle we will win.

earlier this year i said i would do whatever joe asked me to do. so now i'm asking you to do the same. visit joebiden.com to get involved in this campaign and vote. electing joe biden is just the start of the work ahead of us. i couldn't be prouder to be by his side running to represent you, the people. thank you and may god bless the united states of america. >> jesse: welcome to "the five." that was joe biden and kamala harris for the first time together. the 2020 ticket. kind of a rickety rollout. maybe three hours late but they finally got together. joe biden got up there, talked about kamala harris' biography, how she's also work always been a fighter for the middle class, someone who's taken on the big banks, big oil in the big gun

lobby. someone who has always kept her family very close, the daughter of immigrant parents. there they aren't together with their spouses. waving it kind of an empty gym but it's obviously a time of a pandemic so we have social distancing in place. joe biden then pivoted to talking about president trump, saying obviously the attacks on kamala harris shows the president does not like women and we can expect more attacks like that. then he announced, he made this big announcement on the anniversary of charlottesville, invoking adolf hitler and the ku klux klan. then handed off to kamala harris 2k mountain very eloquently delivered a speech talking about the biden family, how compassionate, empathetic they are and their relationship to the late son, beau biden, and talked about her biography and how she was raised to be a

fighter for the people and a fighter for justice. then connor framed the race is about competence. there was the ebola crisis joe biden handled with two deaths. she said donald trump has mishandled the coronavirus pandemic and now we have over 160,000 deaths in the united states. obviously framing this race about race, about the economic hit we've taken, and about the coronavirus. dana perino, what are your thoughts on this as we also await donald trump's news conference and a little bit? >> dana: i think the president will probably give that a little bit of breathing room so everybody can take it in and move on to the news of the day that he would provide and probably a response. one of the things we should point out, they were a little delayed in getting started because there's been terrible storms on the east coast. the power went out where they were going to have their event.

it's different to have a rollout like this taking place in the middle of a pandemic. you saw that they had to be separated. there is not a big hug between them. i think it through the biden campaign, you're pretty happy with how it went. both speeches given on teleprompter. i think the other thing she said in addition to all the points you made, jesse, she talked about how if they were to win, doesn't just need to be a win. it has to be a mandate. they are looking to try to see if they can figure out a way to not just win by a little bit where they want to be able to win so they can figure out how to move forward on their agenda. i think you also saw that for a lot of americans, this might be the first time they are ever listening to a speech by kamel harris. not every american pays attention during a democratic primary and she didn't even make it to the early states to be voted on the first time. she dropped out in december of 2019. she has an opportunity here to have a second chance at making a first impression.

i think that you saw the democrats of closed ranks all around. they have a staff ready to go to be able to support her. i thought sarah palin's advice to her that she provided last night was really good, including the one of don't trust anybody knew. have your own team around you. sarah palin still looks back at what happened to her in 2008 think that was one of the things that was absolutely terrible that happened her on that campaign. the last thing i would say is i think you'll see her out a little bit more. it's not sustainable to run for a campaign and to only do one or two events a week. she said there is 83 days left to go so this is probably one of the best days that the biden-harris campaign will have. the rest might get a little messier. >> jesse: i would agree. greg, what did you think about dana's point that she's not a well-known politician, the way you think of a bernie sanders, even elizabeth warren, a hillary clinton, joe biden. what do you think she did for

herself in today's speech? >> greg: for one thing, she sold out the cops. that was the thing that really stood out to me. she was a cop but she is no longer a cop. it's a two-way race in the sense that it's going to be about race and it's going to be about race. you saw joe biden trot out the fine people hoax which has already been discredited. trump wasn't talking about racists. he was talking about both sides of the statue debate. anyone with half a brain knows that. he mentions the clan, this from a guy who spoke at a funeral for a klansman. trump didn't speak at a funeral for a klansman. joe biden did but i guess we forgot about that. then he said something totally mind-boggling that said that trump coddled terrorists. i'm thinking, like, this is from a guy who was against taking out bin laden and trump got rid of

isis, general soleimani, and al-baghdadi. is he losing his mind greasy flat out lying? lastly and this is why i hate politics and politics is b.s. it shows you how awful people can be. i heard the kamala-beau biden story about the strong connection between kamala and beau. if she knew so much and learned so much about joe's character through this close relationship with beau biden, why did she say she believed the sex abuse accusers of joe biden? why did she smear him as a racist sympathizer with segregationists if she had learned so much from beau biden? it's probably because she's just lying. if she can make an attack like that on joe biden for debate theatrics, it's reasonable to conclude that the ruination of brett kavanaugh was just curing theatrics. she will ruin you for political

reasons. if you're new to politics, you learn to sober lesson. it's complete and utter b.s. people will say anything to get power. so what she did was she was willing to crush kavanaugh and go biden but when the door opens up for power, it all goes out the window. >> jesse: absolutely. valid questions that need to be answered. she said a lot of things about joe biden and eventually she will have to answer those questions. led spring in bret baier, chief political anchor, "special report." you were talking about seeing two people up on stage and getting a sense of the chemistry. what did you think of the chemistry of these two individuals? >> bret: it's a little tough, isn't it, in the covid times with social distancing and everything else and the empty gym where they are waving to essentially 12 reporters in duct tape circles that are 6 feet apart.

it's empty and they pump the music in. it's a weird, surreal moment. but i think what you saw in those speeches was an effort to tie the two together, to show they are simpatico, in joe biden's worth. and they are real string together was they both spent a lot of time going after donald trump. i think that's what you're going to see out of kamala harris, on the attack and a prosecutorial way. i agree with dana that there was a piece of it that was about introducing senator harris to the american public because every network took it. there will be a lot of eyeballs to see what this ticket looks like. >> jesse: let's bring in geraldo rivera. speaking about the ticket, what do you think the addition of kamala to the ticket does for joe biden? where does it energize him? where does it help him? what are your thoughts? they say nobody votes for vice president.

except this time may be. when look at joe biden, every time i see him i like him, however we are almost the same age. he's eight months older than i am but he is an old 77. he has a fragility about him, a fragile nature that seems to me, you look at kamala harris and you look at the person who will be the 46th president of the united states, not necessarily four years from now. god bless him. i hope he lives forever. that's my instinct. my impression just looking at him. in terms of kamala harris herself, senator harris, i think what everybody has missed up until this point is this is history, man. it's a very big deal. this is a woman who's got a reasonable chance of being the next vice president. she is a woman of color. she's a black woman. she's a south asian woman. i think you minimize her, to

your detriment. i think she had me all the way until she took a dig at fox news which i thought was unnecessary. she also mentioned glowingly black lives matter in the same week where the black lives matter leader in chicago said that the looting was reparations for the historic injustice black people have suffered. i think she has to divorce herself from at least the most radical aspects of black lives matter. she has to embrace the centrist position. i think she will. i think she really is a sensational pick for him, for all the reasons that i mentioned. she's a prosecutor, the weakness that she had in the democratic primary because she was tough on law and order and put all those pot smokers in jail. that kind of thing might help her with the fringe and the general election. i think it's a win for the democrats. i think joe has to come out of the basement. he can't ask kamala to carry the

ticket for him. they haven't senator harris an effective, formidable weapon to use against the trum trump-pence ticket. i strongly urge president trump not to go after kamala harris. go after joe biden. my wife and her democratic friends are elated that the choice. i think it spells trouble for the republicans. they had their hands full. the polls indicated that and i think she has strengthened biden's hand. >> jesse: i will see your democratic fringe and double down. i have democratic friends too, geraldo. i don't think they are elated at the kamala harris pick as your friends are. judge jeanine pirro, geraldo rivera talked about vice president joe biden's

fragility. i think half the democrats pulled don't believe joe biden is going to finish the first term if he's elected. what does that tell you about harris as a pick for vice president? >> i have a lot of thoughts. the first thought is for some reason i just have this feeling that joe biden isn't going to be on the ticket. i have a sense that something is going to happen before the election and he's not even going to be on the ticket. so don't even ask me if he's going to make four years. let me tell you a little bit about what i saw. as a woman myself, i was the first woman d.a., first woman county judge, that kind of stuff. it is momentous. geraldo, you're right. but i think that's because we didn't see it when we were younger. maybe some people see it as a big deal. in the end, it's not about the vp. it's about the presidential candidate. let me tell you what the problem is with the speech. as polished as she is and as

clear as she is in terms of what her attacks will be, i'm tired of people lying to me. i get really disgusted when they start saying the donald trump destroyed the economy and the whole covid problem is all about donald trump. here's the bottom line. joe biden and barack obama couldn't put the economy together. donald trump did. and the truth is that in terms of covid, it was donald trump who stopped it from coming in. i don't have to go over the facts. when she stands up and she says look, we are going to get this country back online. we're going to make it economically successful again and in the same breath, she talked about, what did she say, the new deal. i think it was she said the california clean new deal, whatever it is. she's a person who supports the green new deal. she is against fracking.

they are going to get rid of hundreds of thousands of jobs. she's going to lose ohio, west virginia, and pennsylvania. so how is that going to help americans? by the way, as a candidate from california which is a blue state, how does that help? the most important issue in addition to covid right now is what's going on in our cities around the country. she wants to give kudos to black lives matter? she wants to talk about the fact that we're going to go after a system of criminal justice that has systemic racism in it. what do you do about it when you were the ag? what'd you do about it when you were the district attorney and since when have you changed your stripes? she's got a lot to answer about. in the end, i think she is in inauthentic candidates and i think like joe biden who wrote the crime bill, she's got a lot to answer for. >> jesse: the inauthenticity, that something that the president mentioned yesterday about her phoniness. we don't help anything happens

to vice president joe biden anytime soon. let's bring in bret baier again. you heard judge jeanine talk about kamala harris is pretty far left record. the media tried to caster today, "the new york times" called her a pragmatic moderate. when you go down the list of things that she has said and done and voted for. it stacks up as pretty liberal. what are your thoughts about that. >> bret: let me say i respect judge janine's opinion. last night was the last democratic primary, connecticut, 60 delegates went to joe biden. he's going to be the nominee. next week we will see the official -- you're saying he doesn't make it all the way. the bumper stickers are already printed. it is biden-harris. he is going to be the nominee. as of next week. but let me say that there is an effort to make her more moderate than her voting record is.

if you look at the data, she has one of the more liberal if not the most liberal voting records in the senate, definitely for 2019. if you look at the stats about bipartisan outreach, she's down to the bottom of that list. 88 in one survey. 93 out of all the senators. so on the stats you could make the case pragmatic moderate is a temper case to make for "the new york times." >> jesse: and we -- >> can i say something? i wish you all good health. that's not what i'm talking about. he's got the numbers but things are so crazy right now, i don't know what's happening in the democratic party. that's all i'm saying. i hope he lives forever, that's not my point. i know he's got the numbers. >> jesse: we understand. still awaiting president trump's news conference at the white house briefing room and we will bring it to you whenever it begins.

dana perino, you heard the judge and bret baier talk about kamala's voting record. it's farther to the left than elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, as judge jeanine pirro mentioned. she has against fracking which is the cleanest most fuel-efficient way to power this country. it has made us energy independent and created tens of thousands of jobs. some of the things that she set about open borders and giving health insurance to illegal immigrants. do you think she will be challenged on those issues? do you think she will kind of skate by under the guise of pragmatic moderate, as "the new york times" is deemed or? >> dana: that "new york times" tweet was quite the eye-opener. i don't even think she would describe yourself as a pragmatic moderate. she might think it's offensive actually. it's not just on her voting record. look at her legislative record. the only law she's passed was a

dedication to a memorial. when barack obama chose joe biden to be his vice presidential nominee, one of the reasons was he wanted an elder statesman that was more of an established part of the democrat party and he wanted simply who would work on capitol hill very well and get deals done such as they -- when they were able to put obamacare across the finish line. kamala harris doesn't have that at this point. i do think she's going to be challenged on all of those things. i know the media, they have a softer touch with the democrats, they always do and they have a soft touch when the announcement is first made and it is historic and it's a moment. as i said it's probably the very best day that the biden-harris campaign will have. you have reporters were also ambitious and yes, at some point reporters going to say, when you said you were for this but than against it for them for it, where are you actually? when you said you're against

fracking but joe biden says he's -- what's your position going to be? private health insurance, you said you were for banning it and then he walked it back. what do you stand for, what do you actually believe? i think those questions will be asked. it might be subtle but the other thing you're going to see as you're going to see media support for her that will be what i call soft power. you probably saw today that the woman, the actress that played her on "saturday night live" was like oh, boy. she's going to be really busy. i think it will be not in terms of where they make fun of donald trump. it was like when they had hillary clinton. they didn't go after her. every once in a while a shot but the soft media power she will have will probably push her along a little bit. i think on the money side of things, they have this grassroots push and are trying

to make up for lost time because the trump campaign was so far ahead when it came to the money game. we will see if people want to put their money where their mouth is. my last point, hillary clinton did not get enough black americans to come out and vote for her. she fell short over and over again. does this pick change that for this ticket this time? is going to be a very close election. getting everybody out to vote is going to be really important. how do you do it in a pandemic remains to be seen but can she bring more african-americans out to vote than in 2016? i think the biden campaign is betting yes. >> jesse: let's go to bret baier on that question. i'm sorry. let's go to greg gutfeld on that question. everyone today in the media is talking a lot about how kamala harris is going to really energize the minority communities. if you look at the polling and look at the votes cast in the primary, she did not energize the minority communities at all and she dropped out very, very

early. what do you think makes the difference this time. where do you think she helps. do you think they think she helps with women? what are your thoughts? >> greg: she has improved. she only got 3% support. she is not well-liked in california but you took some time off, revamp your staff. judge jeanine is not far off in what her intuition is. when cnn publishes a piece that says harris is ready to take over when joe steps aside, you can already tell that they are setting the table for something, a takeover. maybe they meant the first term is over but that's not really what you're getting at. i believe joe biden in many ways has been seen as kind of a trojan horse. that's not a conspiracy when you see people on the left saying the same thing. what you saw with harris, she could've gone in one of two directions. she could've restored a sense of law in order to the

democratic party or she could have gone full identity politics. you're going to have a convention speaker lineup which is going to be a lollapalooza for the left, woodstock for the whelp. she could've stood up there as the lone adult but what you saw today, the same litany of identity politics with unprovable claims about this, that, and the other but not addressing their riots, the looting, the sense of chaos. people fleeing cities. moving companies breaking records to get people out of the city. also this moderate myth gain steam as the democratic party lurches further left. right now you have liberals wanting to defund the police, excuse looting as reparations and vandalism as speech so right now if genghis khan ran, he would look like a moderate. >> jesse: geraldo, let's address something we've been talking about a little bit today, this trojan horse concept and joe biden's vulnerability.

when you think about it, to greg's point, kamala harris said that this guy was palling around with segregationists and she believed he sexually assaulted an intern. why would he choose her to be his running mate? was this the california wing of the democratic party pushing kamala harris on the ticket? >> he just dismissed it as politics. one follow-up to what greg said. the one thing they did not mention at all, either the former vice president or senator harris, was law and order. you mentioned "the new york times" is this progressive tribune now. all they do is the far left cheerleading. but the two articles on the front page this week boli that notion. there were two articles on the front page talking about the violence in chicago specifically

and in urban centers throughout the country more generally. there was a line in the front page story, i wish i had the paper in front of me, it said there's been a surge in urban violence unseen in decades. i think that to a large extent this election will boil down to a referendum on how the president has done in fighting covid-19, and fighting the coronavirus, a lot of it has to do with the timing of this vaccine. will the russian vaccine make it to the market? these other vaccines? when will they be available? sufficient promise that by election day everybody can breathe a sigh of relief? people are focused on that and they think he hasn't done well, he loses. the republicans on the other hand will focus on this law and order issue. if the cities are crumbling, if people are fleeing, if your apartment which was worth 500,000 is now worth 300,000 and

you're stuck with it because you can find a buyer. you're going to be disgruntled about a democrat who is not talking about the issue that affects you personally. i think this is a very interesting election. biden called it a battle for the soul of the nation. it really is in many ways. >> jesse: dana, we got the two-minute warning. we want to get dana perino in here. you heard geraldo talk about kamala harris, joe biden and what they need to win. how dangerous do you think you will be for this democratic ticket to ignore the violence in the streets, the surgeon murders, the unrest? do you think they are just trying to capitalize on it, and not discuss it or do you think they could really pay a price in november if they act like it's not happening? >> dana: it's an unsustainable position. what geraldo was pointing out about "the new york times" is, it's a warning shot, a signal.

that's "the new york times" and you better get on top of things. if all these people. let's say you are a new yorker and you flee and go live someplace else, do you still vote the way you did in the city? probably. i don't know. that's not great necessarily. if you're in a red state or red county, that's not necessarily a good thing. you might want to get cities back in order. i think it's an unsustainable position especially when you see the police chiefs, carmen best of seattle, who tried so hard to do a good job there. being pushed aside. basically her department not have any support from the elected leadership. that i think we'll come back to hurt democrats. does that hurt them enough? democrats are growing in number and growing places. republicans are shrinking in number in those places and the reverse is true. republicans are growing in places where there's not a lot of population and shrinking

other places. both sides have to work it out. one thing the democratic party needs to catch up on because the trump campaign and the rnc have done a very good job, registering new voters. the critical difference in 2004 for president bush. the incumbent, donald trump, he has to -- he has the advantages of being an incumbent but he also has the problems. pandemic, economic crisis, racial strife. it's unsustainable for the democratic ticket to sit back and not engage. i don't believe that will be acceptable. they will not be able to make money or raise money that way. they've got to be out there and be more forceful in answer some questions. >> jesse: judge jeanine i guess the point about liberals moving, i guess liberals are moving from manhattan to the hamptons or new jersey or connecticut. they are already blue states. they're not moving to pennsylvania. >> dana: don't forget florida. >> jesse: that's true. >> you know it's interesting,

have you heard kamala harris say anything about what's going on in the streets? everything is -- >> jesse: were going to have to interrupt. the president of the podium. >> president trump: appreciate you being >> president trump: gd evening as we continue to confront the china virus where we run the economy. no one thought it was possible actually but we are doing incredibly well. the stock market is up almost 300 points again today. our economy is performing significantly better than europe, which people have to understand my very strongly it is performing better than any market in the world. but at the same time, europe has experienced a 40% higher excess mortality than the united stat united states. and i will say the significant number, we are working on with

europe with their difficulties and we will help them all the way. and as you know, the vaccines and therapeutics, but think of that. we have the strongest economy performing in the world. i think it is $9 trillion since march, $9 trillion in value. that is the number that nobody's ever heard of before. we are also getting close to about a 50% number since march, which is incredible. so what is $9 trillion. it is almost 50%. in fact, i think it went above 50% today with a increase. so we are doing much better in europe. significantly. and at the same time europe has experienced a 40% higher excess mortality than the united states. i just want to mention because a number of judges were approved recently and probably over 300

judges with corded appeals judges appealed by the end of the first term and when they added new judges in june somebody's term, which happens seldom, but we have more than any, as a record, nobody's ever seen anything like this. so we will have over 300 federal judges and the court of appeals judges, and that is just in the first term. we will probably finish out over 300 which is pretty amazing. the stock markets rebalance signals they reshape stronger than our competitors anywhere in the world. strong grip you look. you will see exactly what we have. japan is second. we lead the world. but in terms of dollar power, it

is not even close. europe, united kingdom, japan, hong kong, the united states is leading the world very substantially. in the second slide you will see the virus induced economic contraction in the united stat united states. the united states far less severe with our peers and peer nations. you will see that right there. there is the united states, and that is the spike where we have done more testing than any other nation in the world. we have done more by far ventilators. we have thousands and thousands of ventilators a month and we are distributing them all over the world. we are helping other countries, but despite all of these factors, the shallowest contraction, which is a big deal. i'm sure you would love to put them in your various media

outlets.
