mid may. kevin corke is live at the white house with more on the administration's push for in-person learning. good morning. >> good to be with you. a bit of frustration on the president as the administration continues its push to try to get school districts to reopen and allow school age kids back into the classroom this fall. >> president trump: i want to get the schools open. they should be open. the children, if you look statistically it's incredible how strong they are. their immune systems are incredible. we have to get our schools open, our country open. a lot of the reason it's not happening is because blue state governors, if you take a look at some of the democrat governors, they don't want their state open. they think it hurts me on november 3. >> that from a conversation with maria bartiromo this morning. the white house yesterday laying out its recommendations to enhance safety and reopening schools this fall including understanding the symptoms, self-assessing the health every morning. encouraging frequent hand

washing and sanitizing. minimizing large indoor group gatherings. maintaining high standards of ventilation and social distancing, encouraging the use of masks and literally posting instructions and do so liberally. speaking of masks, the administration announced it would provide 125 million masks for schools nationwide. that announcement yesterday. the president floating a unique idea allowing parents more school choice if their home districts remained shut erd he would like to see the federal money follow the students giving parents a chance to choose if their local schools remain unavailable. no public events for the president today, trace, we expect a press conference. >> trace: much more reaction to this throughout the morning. betsy devos joins us at 10:20 a.m. eastern time and former

>> she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and laughed about it when you were in a position to make an impact in these people's lives you did not. >> have you ever smoked? >> i have, and i did inhale. [laughter] >> trace: that was tulsi gabbard last summer saying she did a flip-flop on marijuana and not the only one coming after harris accusing her of flip-flopping on that as well as other key issues throughout her career. marc thiessen is a former speech writer for george w. bush and fox news contributor. good to see you. i want to put some of the flip-flops on the screen if i can and get your take on thing. things like medicare for all, marijuana, immigration, death penalty. the list is pretty extensive. the theme here seems to be, marc, that she says something that she believes is going to gain attention and then kind of

backtracks to a safer position, is that a fair assessment? >> i think it's normal. the truth is that every vice president takes out certain positions and when they join the ticket they'll have to conform to the presidential candidate's position. we'll see more of this. she supports medicare for all. joe biden supports medicare for all who want it to use buttigieg's phrase. she has to conform her views to his. it also shows the effort to portray her as a pragmatic moderate is not true. she staked out some liberal positions she will now have to make seem more moderate. she supported the green new deal, medicare for all. you know, she is according to gov track she was the out of 100 senators she was the most liberal member of the senate and the least likely to support bipartisan bills in the entire senate.

she is not a pragmatic moderate at all. what i'm more concerned about is joe biden's flip-flop. you had the chair of the house progressive conference, don't worry about joe biden, he will be very moveable. as soon as we get him in the white house he will adopt our positions. they see him as a trojan horse. this nice, inoffensive moderate bipartisan works across the aisle and american swing voters will say there is no danger electing him. inside the trojan horse are the progressives who are going to pass all these things and send it to him for his auto pen. >> trace: you mentioned gov tracks. tends to be a conservative leaning organization there. when her voting record is liberal you're right. i was interested in her pivot on law enforcement. when she was the attorney general she was california's top cop. she applauded ice agents and

worked with them and recently called them compared them to the kkk. i want to put these up. she said this in 2009 quoting about police officers. if we take a show of hands of those who would like to see more police officers on the street, mine would shoot up. virtually all law abiding citizens feel safer when they see officers walk a beat. 2020 it is status quo thinking to believe that putting more police on the streets create more safety. it is just wrong. it seems to be a pattern of placating social justice warriors, marc. >> she is ideologically flexible and why they put her on the ticket. keep in mind also she was the one who tried to accuse joe biden essentially of being a racist because he had supported mass incarceration and when he was -- when he passed the crime bill. they both flip-flopped on that issue dramatically. >> trace: it is interesting.

there are also people who think the whole flip-flop thing could benefit her in the long wrong. some say it can turn out to be a positive. the following quote that harris is willing to change her views on controversial issues shows that she is open to listening to public opinion and adjusting her policy prescriptions when necessary and it is just the kind of approach the country needs now in our highly fractured and polarized state. he is saying it is not confusing but necessary in these times, marc. >> what we need is more political weather vanes. that's the worry. they're portraying themselves as being the moderate, centrist, reasonable bipartisan work across the aisle type and her record doesn't show that at all and joe biden is going to just -- he will be the auto pen. the auto pen president. chuck and nancy will send up whatever bills they decide to

pass with their left wing caucus and his job is to auto pen them and that's why the trojan horse for socialism. >> trace: i have to go, marc. what's the reasoning for that? are you looking at battleground states? you paint yourself as a moderate in the battleground states saying we serve everybody? >> the liberal base will back him no matter what. they want to get rid of donald trump. he has to get swing voters not socialists to give them permission to defect from donald trump and vote for the biden/harris ticket. he can't portray himself as a radical socialist but as a moderate. i say it again inside that trojan horse is an army of socialists waiting to get into the white house gates and wreak havoc on our country. >> julie: the search for a kansas mother missing for more than a week now. focusing on the banks of the mississippi river. what her family is asking for in a live interview coming up.

florida's tourism industry left reeling by the pandemic. how businesses are coping and why some are still optimistic about a comeback? sxwlao >> we're missing 80% of our tourists. the tour buses aren't even coming. if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back,

inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation.

don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye.

>> trace: bottom of the hour top of the headlines. police declaring a riot last night in portland officers using tear gas after the crowd

refused to disperse. a huge fundraising haul for the biden campaign bringing in $26 million in a single day after announcing kamala harris as his running mate. and the labor department announcing that 963,000 americans applied for unemployment benefits last week. the first time in five months the number has dropped below a million. >> julie: the pandemic dealing a major blow to tourism especially in florida where some businesses are reporting a 90% drop in revenue. we have more from miami live. hi, bryan. >> good morning. look, the heart and soul of miami is not south beach, it is communities like this. little havana, tower theater, cultural icon in miami has been shut erd. if you walk with me the cruise

industry stopped allowing cruise ships to dock in march. no tourists are coming to little haven. domino park closed until further notice. without those tourists this neighborhood is suffering. tourists would come to watch cubans play dominoes in domino park. part of this community's pulse. without tourists business is down 90%. they deliver ice cream with dry ice to try to stay afloat. >> we're at 10% of what we used to make. so normally this shop would have lines out the door. on the tuesday or wednesday, every day. at night even worse. but at night the streets are full of music and people don't mind waiting. so now there is no music, tower theater is closed, domino park is closed. >> hotel demand in florida was down 77% the first week of april for a loss in hotel

revenue that week of $343 million. hotel demand in florida was down 45% last week of july for loss of $150 million. all together florida hotels thus far are down some $5 billion compared to 2019 and look, people are still coming to south beach but it is definitely quieter. we witnessed a tourist get ticketed for walking outside without a mask on ocean drive yesterday. there is also a 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. curfew in miami-dade. >> the hotels and airline tickets aren't expensive because a lot of people are afraid of flying. >> it's a good time to travel. >> always a little scary trying to go anywhere but it is like you are going to take a chance being in your own city so why not take a chance being in another city where you want to be and see palm trees and have fun? >> miami-dade county is

florida's covid-19 epicenter. the positive covid-19 rate is at 18%. if florida's tourism industry wants to bounce back they need to get it under control. $90 billion tourism industry, number one in the state, julie. >> julie: thank you. >> trace: the kansas mom missing for more than a week now. the search has moved to the banks of the mississippi river after surveillance video showed her checking into a hotel in missouri a few miles away. carley shimkus live in new york city with more. >> i just got off the phone with her brother-in-law and he said the search is dedicated exclusively to the mississippi river right now. they really want to rule out the worst case scenario. they formed their own search and rescue team dedicated to canvassing that area. she was headed to alabama to seek mental health treatment and the key here is that investigators say the last time her cell phone pinged was in

the memphis area, a city right next to the mississippi river. so investigators are honing in on that area. it is still an ongoing active search not a recovery mission thankfully. but the family, trace, is absolutely desperate for answers. >> trace: i can imagine. any chance, carley, she might have checked herself into a mental health facility? >> her brother-in-law says that she was a bit confused and disoriented the last time her family spoke to her and they are so keenly aware that may be a possibility that they have reached out to hundreds of mental health facilities. unfortunately they have not heard back with any positive news as to her whereabouts that she might be in one of those facilities that they've reached out to. >> trace: the family is looking for help from the public. what exactly, carley, are they focusing on? >> i have to say god bless this family. they have launched a website, a facebook page dedicated to the

search and they are asking for help. help in getting her picture out. look at that face. they are also asking for people volunteers to put up flyers and maybe email a flyer to their local police department because she really could be anywhere. trucking companies nationwide are also doing just that thankfully. her youngest child turns 3 years old on monday. the family prayer has become bring mommy home by anna's birthday. >> trace: i can imagine that family. thank you, carley. >> >> julie: lebanese lawmakers calling for a sense of emergency. protestors gathering outside the palace as they keep up their demonstrations against the country's political leaders there. trey yengst is live in beirut following this story from the

beginning. what's going on in the city today? >> good morning. the lebanese parliament met for the first time since the deadly explosion last week killed more than 170 people. over concerns of protests erupting during this meeting many of the roads around that palace were blocked off by the army and other police. inside lawmakers declared a state of emergency essentially giving the army control of the country for the next two weeks. this will give the army the power to close places of assembly, set kur fuse and expand jurisdiction of the military court. the army handed out aid five days after they said they would start doing so and expected to make a statement later today. ongoing discussions underway to form a new government after the rest ignition of the prime minister and his entire cabinet earlier this week. now the trump administration is preparing to impose anti-corruption sanctions against allies of the lebanese militant group hezbollah. the goal is to try to decrease

some of the power that hezbollah has across lebanon in the aftermath of this explosion. additionally we know senior u.s. official david hale will be in beirut to help the people. there is concern about the cause of this explosion and whether or not there would be a cover-up attempt by the lebanese government. back to you, julie. >> julie: trey yengst, thank you, live in beirut this morning. trace. >> trace: three people killed and six hospitalized after a passenger train derails in northeast scotland. those pronounced dead at the scene including the train's driver and conducter. it happened after heavy storms in the area. >> there has been some very extreme weather and concerns about land slips. one of the things i've done today is convened emergency meetings in order to insure

that we look into that specifically along the line in other locations just to make certain. >> trace: a government report shows the operator of the u.k. rail network was warned about land slips on the tracks in bad weather. the exact cause of the derailment is still under investigation. >> julie: a terrifying moment caught on camera in california. a man is saved from the path of an on coming train without a second to spare. watch this? >> can you get up? get up, get up, get up. wow, the breathtaking rescue happened after the man's wheelchair got stuck on the

tracks. the police officer saw him struggling and ran over to him pulling him to safety in the nick of time. he injured his leg but thank god is expected to survive. >> trace: break out your best hat and grab a mint julep. the kentucky derby is on. when it is set to happen at churchill downs. the mainstream media is quick to call senator kamala harris a moderate. an organization looking at voting records called her the most liberal senator of all last year. howard kurtz joins us next to tell us how it might play out with voters. i'll give you a hand. and i'm gonna put lisa on crutches! wait, what? said she's gonna need crutches. she fell pretty hard. you might want to clean that up, girl. excuse us. when owning a small business gets real, progressive helps protect what you built

guests allowed. >> president trump: she is a big taxer, as joe is a big taxer. they want to tax $4 trillion. the biggest tax increase in history by far. and they are big taxers. it is something that won't work. you will see a depression. >> julie: that's president trump earlier on the fox business network today laying into the biden/harris ticket calling them big taxers as some media outlets downplay harris's progressive record after biden picked her to be his running mate. howard kurtz is host of "media buzz". always great to see you. during her own presidential run she expressed her support for the green new deal, medicare for all, decriminalizing illegal border crossings and gun buy backs. why are media outlets pointing

to her as a moderate candidate? >> first let me say kamala harris is getting walk on water coverage. it is stunning. look. she is a groundbreaking pick. first black woman. the daughter of jamaican and indian immigrants. there is an effort by the media conscious or unconscious to say she is a moderate like joe biden. that's only true if you mean more moderate than aoc. the most liberal ticket in democratic party history given how far left the party has moved. >> julie: this week "the new york times" referred to her as a pragmatic moderate. op-ed on wednesday declared her as a small c conservative. according to a gov track analysis kamala harris scored as the most liberal u.s. senator in 2019. out ranking bernie sanders and liz warren.

with that said will the voters buy into harris recasting herself as a moderate? >> first of all, it's ultimately going to be a trump/biden race. right now we're seeing an explosion of gushing commentary and coverage of kamala harris. i haven't seen anything like it since the clinton/gore bus trip of 1992. you can't hear a single criticism of kamala harris. "the new york times" news story, let's see, harris is ready to fight. her whole career prepared her. in my estimation she is not quite as liberal as bernie sanders or elizabeth warren. she was flirting with that getting the presidential nomination. she back tracked on the medicare for all. her presidential campaign imploded and question her record as a prosecutor. the criticism is off base from the right as biden didn't really make this pick, she will

be running the show. he will step down and she will become president. no evidence of any of that. >> julie: i do think there is talk and there was talk before he actually made his official pick though this was no surprise she might outshine him a bit. we saw what she did to him in the debates. apparently it's all kumbaya behind the scenes now. as you mentioned duly times covers showing harris announcement versus the pence announcement in 2016. so yeah, a little bit of a difference there. compare "the new york times" front page covering biden pick to the pick of mike pence four years ago. >> two different universes. it was a very important pick in 2016 but nothing like you getting all this cultural coverage. i understand go out and interview black women excited about this choice. that's one thing.

the disparity is really something and i have to say when you look at this, the fact is that kamala harris, you know, didn't even score all that well among african-american voters when she was running for president. but there is this -- what happened is, julie, that major media outlets were part of a drumbeat, a pressure campaign to get biden to pick a woman of color. now that he has done that he is getting non-stop praise for doing that. when all of this subsides and we will have a closer look at her record. i think journalists need to take a fair, tough look at her record especially given there is a 77-year-old nominee and that she could well be said to be the frontrunner for the nomination four years from now especially if the biden ticket wins. >> julie: howard kurtz, great to see you. go to the beach now. thank you. >> i will do that, thank you. >> trace: chicago mayor lori light foot sounding off on this week's looting in this city and why she says it was a planned

attack plus the national park service issuing a new warning about bear safety. their light hearted message to americans is next. >> they'll come to you. look for the bear necessities, the simple bear necessities, forget about your worries and your strife. our agents helped make saving on insurance easy usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa here's your iced coffee! ♪ america runs on dunkin'

in front of a bear. >> trace: good news. more fallout from the looting in downtown chicago sunday night. the mayor telling "time" magazine it was a planned attack claiming the looters knew when police staffing would be low. ronald mcdonald house confirming one of its locations was vandalized during the chaos. one person is asking for kim foxx to resign. anthony napolitano is the alderman of the 41st ward in chicago and former police officer. welcome to you. i'll get to kim foxx quickly. i want your take on a couple of things. when the mayor says they were capitalizing on not having enough police officers in downtown. a scary thought going forward. >> it absolutely is. we haven't had enough police officers in the city of chicago for the last five years or so. our department is not able to keep up with the rate of attrition. now with this recent anti-police movement nationwide it is difficult for us to get people to take this job, that will be tough for the city of

chicago to recoup from that. >> trace: the looting they're going after clothing and stereo equipment, whatever. why are you targeting a ronald mcdonald house with 30 families inside, sick children in there? it's baffling. >> let me break this down for you as quick as i can. we had a justice protest that was hijacked a couple of months ago by domestic terrorists. they rioted the city and we locked up the criminals. state's attorney let them go. our country has the worst gang problem. our city does with 117,000 gang members. we average over 500 murders a year, over 2800 shootings per year and our state's attorney just got credit for letting over 25,000 felony offenders go. the problem here is it's a catch and release system. why not hit everybody? why not destroy the city and loot it? now after this recent looting they are already in the process

of letting the criminals go again. we're a target. we are a target. >> trace: i just want to piggyback on what you're saying and put numbers on the screen. chicago violence in july 2020, 573 people were shot, 58 of them were juveniles. next full screen. homicides on the rise july 2020, chicago 430 murders, up 51% from last year. there were 237 murders in new york. it has six times the population. it is one of those things where, you know, the solve rate alderman is 26%. 26% of suspects for murder are arrested, 5% in shootings which means you have a 95% possibility in chicago of shooting somebody and not getting caught. >> yeah. i agree. listen, i'm a common person. i was a chicago police officer and fire firefighter. i could do the simple math and

the common denominator is the state's attorneys office. the line here now. if you are going to do the crime you won't do the time in the city of chicago. they're laughing at us for this. if people don't stand up and make a stand right now and draw a line in the sand and get rid of the state's attorney it will get worse in the greatest city in the country. we need to fix this. >> trace: she got national name recognition dropping the charges against jussie smollett. some other things kim foxx dismissal of cases 29.9% of felony charges dropped. her predecessor 19.4%. that's a significant increase over previous years. >> they are celebrating this. they're celebrating letting these felony criminals go. we have more people on the street with ankle monitors committing crime after crime after crime. we're giving out i-bonds like popcorn at a fair. this is just not the way to go about it.

we have a tough city. this is not an easy place to live. if you aren't going to fight crime or combat it, it will overtake the entire city and we'll lose it. >> trace: anthony napolitano, chicago alderman, thank you. >> thank you for having me, sir. >> julie: fox news alert president trump doubling down on his push to open schools. remote learning is not the answer. how do we do that while keeping kids safe? education secretary betsy devos joins us live next. you try to stay ahead of the mess

>> to those who engaged in this criminal behavior let's be clear, we're coming for you. >> the department launched a website today with images of the suspects and others wanted in connection with the looting that took place downtown and elsewhere. >> we are our best grassroots fundraising day of the campaign. more than double our previous record and in doing so we set a single day record for online political fundraising. i think i know why. >> this really is still a mystery to everybody. in the last physical presence of carter was from hotel security video and hotel in missouri, her family still maintains hope that carter is alive. >> clearly trusting god for

this. we know he has got this and he knows exactly where she is. >> trace: we begin with tense moments overnight in bend, oregon. >> you create hate. you create hate. >> trace: hundreds of protestors surrounding two ice buses in a stand-off with federal agents who had detained two people in those buses, ice says they were a threat to the public. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm trace gallagher. >> julie: i'm julie banderas. sandra smith is off. along with the tension in bend, oregon police in portland once again declaring a riot after protestors lit a fire outside the federal courthouse. that building focal point of nearly 11 straight weeks of demonstrations that have often turned violent. president trump meantime says the chaos must stop now. >> president trump: we're recommending to the governor that they call in national security, call in the national guard.

we're willing to get -- we would stop that problem in one hour. we sent just defensive measures to protect and save that courthouse from being burned down or knocked down. we also saved a couple of other buildings, federal buildings, because they were unable to do the job. >> trace: let's bring in retired acting ice director and fox news contributor tom homan. always good to see you. your former agents out there were holding and carrying buses with two illegal immigrants that had criminal violent backgrounds. that doesn't appear to be a protest, it appears to be interfering with federal agents. your thoughts? >> they are absolutely impeding federal law enforcement officer, a crime in itself. you would think the crowd would educate themselves. what are these ice agents doing taking two serious public safety threats out of your community to make your community safer. so rather than putting them in

harm's way you ought to be thanking the officers. bake them a cake. they are making their community safer for your families. the district attorney there, he made a statement he thought the federal government was disgusting. proud of these demonstrators. he ought to resign immediately. he has forgotten what he is supposed to do. he is supposed to enforce law, prosecute criminals, support law enforcement and keep his community safe. that's exactly what ice agents are doing in his county. he ought to be praising them for it. >> trace: you have in cities across the country the theme seems to be that the politicians are supporting the looters and the vandals and the protestors and the question i have for you, sir, is what are supervisors telling ice agents in the field from the district attorney john home el who attended the protests saying i've never been so disgusted by my government and so proud of my community. what are you telling agents or what are they being told in the

field on how to react and respond to these types of incidents? >> first of all i've never been so disgusted with somebody supposed to be a district attorney that is supposed to be supporting law enforcement. he is ridiculous. the men and women of ice, look, they're american patriots, these men and women leave the safety and security of their home every day. a gun on their hip and a kevlar test and protect people they don't know and even the people that despise them. these men and women won't be bullied to do their job. they know they're doing the right thing for the country and making the community safer. people can hate on them all they want. it is shameful. they won't stop ice agents from doing their sworn duty to protect this country. >> trace: the central oregon peacekeepers president luke richter, he said the following quoting here. if they're going to take people from a sanctuary city they need to have proper documentation of that.

we have not seen any warrants for their arrest. the theme being here is before you do something, before you do your job, you have to kind of run it by the city to see if everything is okay. >> that's not going to happen. ice don't answer to him and ice doesn't answer to the city. state of oregon and washington have been lost to the radical left. when you have the mayor of portland and the governor of washington, you knowville filing the men and women of ice and the border patrol. they're leading the state down a bad road and leading by example to hate cops. same thing with kamala harris and aoc. they call hitler, nazis, run concentration camps, kamala harris calls them the kkk. they've set the stage for the hatred of law enforcement. you know why there is such hatred for law enforcement because members of congress set the stage. they led by example. it's okay to hate law

enforcement. a sad day in america when the good guys who enforce the law all of a signed are the bad guys. the ones who violate the law are the victims. this world is upside down. we need to make sure donald trump comes back. >> trace: were you heartened by saying it's the federal agents it was their fault and when they pulled out the violence continued and they had to say maybe it wasn't the federal agents. was that heartening or just i told you so? your final thoughts. i have 15 seconds. >> i knew the mayor was wrong and the governor was wrong when they blamed dhs for the rise in violence. there was out of control rioting before they got there and it has gotten worse after they left. again the president trump did the right thing by sending federal agents to protect federal property. that's legal in the law. the law that congress enacted and doing exactly what congress told them to do and funded them to do. president trump will keep america safe if governors and

mayors fail to do it. >> trace: good of you to join us, thank you. >> good to see you. >> julie: joe biden and kamala harris making their first campaign appearance together yesterday. wasting no time blasting president trump as a failed leader. president trump meantime firing back this morning in an interview with maria bartiromo accusing harris of being ultraliberal. >> what is your reaction to kamala harris joe biden's running mate? >> president trump: she is radical left. now she tries to pretend she is not. she is the most liberal person in the u.s. senate, acknowledged to be. she has done things that are terrible in terms of the police, in terms of the second amendment, in terms of everything else. >> julie: griff jenkins is live in washington griff, the campaign trail appears to be heating up pretty fast. no surprise. >> it sure is, good morning, yeah.

if it hasn't felt like there is a presidential election it sure does now. the gloves came off in dueling events. first in wilmington, delaware biden introduced his history making running mate inspiring nation of chlorination wide and both attacked president trump of his handling of the coronavirus and the economy and then the prosecutor in kamala harris came out. >> i want to tell you somebody who has presented my fair share of arguments in court, the case against donald trump and mike pence is open and shut. >> president trump: she is radical left. now she tries to pretend she is not. she is the most liberal person in the u.s. senate, acknowledged to be. she has done things that are terrible in terms of the police, in terms of the second amendment. >> got the intros in there. what i was going to take you to, minutes later at the white house, the president after of

course the wilmington event the president defended his coronavirus response, touted economic recovery and returned the punch that came from harris. >> president trump: there was nobody more insulting to biden than she was. she said horrible things about him including accusations made about him by a woman where she i guess believed the woman and now all of a sudden she is running to be vice president saying how wonderful he is. >> pence weighed in he had a message for harris saying congratulations, i'll see you in salt lake city. a reference to the veep debate in october. >> julie: they are looking forward to it i'm sure. we'll all be watching. what kind of impact is harris having on fundraising? the numbers are pretty impressive. >> huge. the pick was a cash bomb for biden. national press secretary for the biden campaign tweeted joe biden just announced in the

last 24 hours since announcing kamala harris would join the campaign we've raised $26 million including 150,000 first time contributors, a big part of that haul was the virtual fundraiser shortly after that roll-out raising some 9.6 million from 200,000 unique donors. julie. >> julie: all right. griff jenkins. thank you. this weekend fox news brings you special coverage of the democratic national convention kickoff. that is this sunday night 10:00 p.m. eastern with bret baier and martha maccallum. you won't want to miss it. >> president trump: they want 3 1/2 billion dollars for something that will turn out to be fraudulent, election money basically. they want $3 1/2 billion for the mail-in votes. they want $25 billion --

billion for the post office. they need that money in order to have the post office work to take millions and millions of ballots. >> trace: president trump taking aim at mail-in ballots. one of several sticking points holding up a stimulus deal with both sides standing firm. chad pergram is live on capitol hill. anything new? >> not really. it is kind of like we're caught in a time loop like the edge of tomorrow where everything happened over and over and over again. that's what we're in. the senate comes in every day at 10:00, 11:00, meets an hour and a half. a few senators that give opposing speeches. congressional leaders go on dueling tv appearances. that's it. no new talks. this is starting to worry rank and file lawmakers. let's start with tim kaine democrat from virginia. >> it's disappointing for millions of americans in the midst of hard times right now. they are worried about their

own health or the health of their loved ones. they're worried whether they'll receive unemployment benefits or how they'll make rent or the mortgage or how their children will get an education. >> it's just not democrats starting to worry. listen to the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. >> many employers are exhausting the money they had already received. our country is approaching another small business tipping point and workers could begin getting pink slips instead of paychecks. >> the secretary of the treasury steve mnuchin reached out to house speaker nancy pelosi yesterday. the first communication they had since last week. pelosi and chuck schumer said the administration haven't budged but mnuchin says that's not true, an accurate reflection of the conversation. he said pelosi won't meet unless they will agree to spend

$2 trillion. cost, money for postal service, money for state and local governments. here is roy blunt, republican of missouri. >> let's set aside the other third of the bill that deals with state and local government. us giving state and local government we don't have to replace money they don't have and i'm not going to say that some element of that won't be in a final bill, but let's talk about the things we all need to -- know need to be in the first bill. >> nancy pelosi will have a press conference during the hour. it's unclear what unlocks this impasse. >> trace: chad pergram live on capitol hill. thank you. >> julie: fox news alert. fast moving wildfire is burning outside of los angeles. the lake fire as it is called destroying homes and prompting evacuations near the angeles national forest where it has already burned more than 10,000 acres. we have jeff paul standing by

live in california with the latest. hi, jeff. >> firefighters working through the night to contain a fire that originally started at just around 100 acres and quickly spread to 10,000 acres and counting. what is making this fire particularly difficult for firefighters to contain is the topography. a mountainous region. the flames will keep spreading through the afternoon. the first call for the fire came in yesterday 3:30 p.m. local time and people started seeing a large column of smoke from as far away as venice near the beach 50 miles away. what is concerning to firefighters at the moment is how this fire is spreading and we see rapid growth of fires due to strong winds picking up embers. that's not the case with the lake fire just yet. >> you can see the significant fire activity in the hills that

occurred throughout the entire afternoon. whereas this fire is moving without any or minimal winds on it as we anticipate later in the fall season where we get the santa ana winds. >> what's also driving the fire is the dry conditions here. you can rip these off with your hand and we're being told that this particular area, the angeles national forest hasn't had a fire like this is more than 50 years. couple that with what's expected to be triple digit temperatures tomorrow. they certainly have their work cut out for them, julie. >> julie: wow, all right. jeff paul, thanks for keeping an eye on it for us. >> trace: the sheriff in florida is issuing a new type of mask mandate. billy woods of marion county sent an email to his staff on tuesday ordering all employees and anyone visiting the office not to wear a mask. it says if part quoting we can debate and argue all day of why and why not. the fact is the amount of professionals that give the

reason why we should i can find the exact same amount of professionals that say why we should not. he ended the email with my orders will be followed or my actions will be swift. be safe. he says he is doing it to improve communication between officers and the public. the order goes against the cdc guidelines last month encouraging americans to wear masks. >> julie: chicago police are asking for help to identify suspects looting downtown earlier this week. watch the video. why the mayor says it was a planned attack that criminals organized. plus this. the push to reopen schools, secretary of education betsy devoes with a look at the latest safety plans. >> president trump: so when you have students sitting at home, playing with a computer it is not the same. it is one thing we've learned for sure. not the same, can never be the same as being in a classroom.

i try to put my arm around any vet that i can, absolutely. at newdayusa that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase, we can help them and provide that financial solution for they and their families. it's a great rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique.

polls on the screen. it seems to me and a lot of americans for the push to get in-person learning is losing steam. you see from may 25th to june 8th. 56% of the population wanted in person school and you move forward to july and now down to 36%. so the whole push seems to be losing steam. what does the administration think about that? >> well, we know that it is a coordinated effort in a campaign to continue to sew fear. when you look at facts and when you look at the science we know the important thing for kids is to be able to get back into school, into their classrooms, back with their peers, back with their teachers and learning in person. and for most students this is the case. there are some for whom it is not the right answer but we need kids back in school learning. as secretary azar has rightfully said this is a matter of health versus health.

children's mental growth and well-being, their social emotional growth. their development. all of it relates to a continued effort to make sure students have the opportunity to be back in school full-time. >> trace: you talk about following the science and you mentioned secretary azar. back in june the cdc was saying that the risk to children appears to be very low. we've had a little change since then because now you have the american academy of pediatrics and the children's hospital association between july 9 and august 6 there were 179 plus thousand cases of children getting the coronavirus. that's an increase of 90% over four weeks. does that number give you pause at all, secretary? >> well, we know that children are going to get the virus. adults are going to get the virus. the facts have been that the virus has not impacted children in the same way that even the

average flu season does. the number of children that have actually succumbed to the virus versus the flu is 1/6 the amount of an annual rate. so again the focus really needs to be on doing the right things. the cdc has provided a lot of guidance and a lot of recommendations. many schools have reopened and they are doing so successfully when they follow this guidance and they take the matter seriously. but the point is they are doing the things, some of them hard, some of them unusual for a normal school circumstance, but they are doing the things that need to be done to get kids back into the classroom and back into their learning. >> trace: the president floating this idea secretary devos of having the money follow the children and the schools that open giving them some money and the schools that don't pulling back some money and giving it to the kids. the pushback has been pretty

severe from democrats and educators across the country. your thoughts on that. >> we make a promise when we invest in education and that is to actually educate children. and that promise is made to their families. and if that is not going to happen, the president is absolutely right, parents should have the power to take those resources and find a school or an environment that is going to work for them. we're seeing a lot of schools, a lot of charter schools, a lot of private schools that are successfully reopening and we need to insure that parents and children have these options as well. >> trace: it is interesting because, you know, you see a lot of these patchwork plans around the country and lastly i want to put this up there. georgia schools seem to be a lot of focus. a lot of conversation about what's happening there. they opened, 59 confirmed cases. they have more than 1,000 students quarantined. this appears to be what might happen. you understand the risk and you believe that everybody is still

on board in the administration with going forward saying we'll have setback but in the end there are kids that need student meals, they need internet, they need supervision and they need to get back in school. >> they need to get back in school. and again the cdc has provided very good information, very good recommendations and guidance, and have laid out procedures for recommendations for what to do when you do have a case or a couple of cases in a school. and if those things are followed and they are taken seriously, a lot of this can be addressed very effectively. we're seeing it in many schools across the country. and we are going to continue to see it more as those that are committed to doing what's right for kids actually do provide in-person learning and provide them the option of being there five days a week learning, moving ahead as they should be doing. kids only is 7 one time in

their life. you can't get that time back. that's true for children of all ages. >> trace: education secretary betsy devos, ma'am, thank you so much. >> thanks, trace. >> julie: chaos and violence in chicago. why the mayor now says the looting earlier this week was a planned attack. >> it was not first amendment protected speech. these were not poor people engaged in petty theft to feed themselves and their families. this was straight up felony criminal conduct.

nobody has ever seen it. i was cruising to election. they weren't going to be a factor. george washington would have had a hard time winning. we were cruising. you had to see the numbers. it wasn't even going to be a factor. and the market was going to go through the roof. having joe biden is a big overhang. if he got in, the numbers would go down. thousands of points. >> julie: how will the president's economic record, charles, stack up against a biden/harris ticket? >> well, you know, i think to president trump's point if you think back to february and all of the concerns of voters, the economy had drifted down to 6, 7, 8. people were more concerned about so many other things because they had a job, wages going through the roof, buying a house. they felt financially secure. market was up. it became a non-issue. it is so disingenuous to suggest what is happening in

our economy now is because of trump's economic policy. it is crazy disingenuous to make that suggestion. we're in the middle of a global pandemic which is -- listen, it has destroyed economies -- every economy around the world one degree to another. if you go back to where we were in february, we were absolutely a juggernaut. manufacturing was coming on, again the housing sector was coming on. some of these things have muscle memory. manufacturing is coming on right now. housing continues to boom. but other parts of the economy are coming on as well. when you start talking about records, right, when president obama and biden came into office employment population ratio was 60.6%. when they left it was lower. up until january of this year it was significantly higher. same thing with wages. i think this is what people need to understand. blue collar wages january 2009 were growing 3.8% year-over-year. the first month that trump was

in office it dwindled down to 2.4%. the most recent months we saw 3.8%. blue collar wages growing faster than inflation. the first time in over a decade. obviously you can try to portray this as the trump policies but it is not. >> julie: i want you to listen to kamala harris yesterday during her first event with biden hitting trump on the economy. >> the president's mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the great depression. but here is the good news. we don't have to accept the failed government of donald trump and mike pence. in just 83 days, we have a chance to choose a better future. >> julie: i want to talk about

this. the trump campaign is going after harris being too far left claiming she called for trillions in new taxes and backing bernie sanders government takeover of healthcare. how will biden and harris tackle the talk of tax hikes during the pandemic which is the last thing this nation needs now. >> biden promised tax hikes throughout the campaign immediately. the moment he would potentially be sworn in. maybe they'll backtrack. the media is calling them both moderate and conservative and things like that. they have a lot of cover. it stands to reason, julie, they will be very progressive and we saw, of course, kamala harris embrace the green new deal and a lot of other -- these are very expensive experiments and they are making all kinds of assumptions. i don't think they'll come through. if you get rid of fracking and you destroy all those amazing jobs from pennsylvania to ohio

marilane carter has been missing for over a week now. joining me now is her brother-in-law, brady. i want to get right to the search for marilane focusing on the mississippi river. can you explain to me the latest on the investigation and why the river? >> yes, julie. thank you for having me on. this morning at about 6:30 volunteers with a boat and high-powered sonar were able to start the search of the mississippi river near i-55 and i-40 in the radius of the area she was last pinged on her cell phone sun, august 2. the reason we go to the river law enforcement searched by air and ground the land area west memphis side of the river. we're trying to rule out the possibility she may be in the water. >> julie: i'm sorry to hear that. i understand there was surveillance footage of her checking into a hotel for some sort of period of time

apparently in missouri before moving on toward memphis, which is where she last spoke to her husband and mother on the phone. do we know why she was at that motel and where she could have headed next? do investigators know? >> yes. she checked into the hotel 3:30 sunday morning. we left her house and told her husband she would head for the birmingham area saturday night at 8:15 p.m. it shows she checked in 3:37. checked out just after 6:00 a.m. she was there for less than 2 1/2 hours to continue her journey. what we don't know is the different travel paths she may have taken to get to west memphis. last night law enforcement shared new video of her at a service station in west memphis confirming she was there. we had credit card transactions for. the last known area is around the west memphis/arkansas area.

>> julie: what do investigators think happened? do they believe foul play is suspected? >> law enforcement from overland park has been in great touch with us. they don't believe a crime has been committed. they're keeping all options on the table to get to the bottom of this so we can find marilane. >> julie: marilane's husband was tried to use social media to recruit help in finding his wife. the biggest need we need help with right now is we need volunteers to help us search the river right around the i-55 bridge there in memphis. tell me about the response you've gotten from the community and volunteers. >> it has overwhelming to see the volunteers who have come out to offer to do a search to post flyers and especially in that local area of memphis. on the boat side we have a boat in the water, very encouraging, sonar analysis is in progress as we speak.

we received volunteer help from a search and rescue team out of alabama to send resources with more experience to try to search starting saturday morning. so we want to rule out that possibility but it has been extremely encouraging to the family and gives us a lot of hope to know we might be able to find her safely. >> julie: i understand the couple's children are staying the relatives in the metro area. >> yes, adam and marilane's three children under 7 are staying in family in the kansas city area while adam is helping with the search in memphis and birmingham. >> julie: i want to say their youngest child turns 3 on monday. the family's prayer has become i'm quoting here, bring mommy home by anna's birthday. i pray that dream and birthday wish comes true. thank you for talking to us brady. a great time to spread the word so you get more volunteers and

pandemic but also unrest in that part of the world for obviously many years. this has also been a focus not just of the president but in particular of jared kushner. they have had a strong relationship with the israeli government as you've seen on our air. the president and benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister, speaking glowingly of each other. making something happen to advance the interest not just of israel but also of the other parties in the region, this is something that this white house has wanted to accomplish for quite some time. we were told about an hour ago by sources that this could be breaking this morning and in fact as you've just pointed out, we have just seen that the president tweeted that. as soon as we get live pictures of an announcement we'll share that with you. now, if you've also been surprised by as i try to make a hard turn to the right here, if you've been surprised by the president's let's say soft sell attacks on kamala harris you are not alone. usually he is a political

person always spoiling for a counter punch or fight whenever he is attacked as you probably noticed in yesterday's comments by kamala harris she went right at the president. the president in responding frankly has not said nearly as much as you might have anticipated. normally we would expect him to do that. this time it seems like he is being careful, leaving much of the hard hitting rhetoric for his online team to dole out. this morning in a conversation with maria bartiromo, the president again seemed to sort of try to stick to the issues. he said if you vote for biden and harris, you are voting for a big tax increase. >> president trump: they want to tax $4 trillion. going to be the biggest tax increase in history by far. it will triple records and they are big taxers. it is something that won't work. we'll have -- you'll see a depression the likes of which you have never seen. you will have to go back to 1929.

>> the crash of 1929. so says the president. now harris in her role as v.p. candidate will probably be the lead attack person not just on the president but also of the vice president. saw a taste of that in her remarks yesterday blaming the president for the covid crisis, thousands of job losses, huge unemployment and the deaths of more than 100,000 americans. we still expect a briefing at 1:00 today, trace. kayleigh mcenany is expected to be over there now between the u.a. and israel. as i get more details i will pass them along. back to you. >> trace: we'll get back to you with the breaking news. it is tape play back. as soon as we get this queued up we'll play it back to you. the president tweeted about a deal -- peace deal between israel and the united arab emirates. we view them and see these pictures of the skyscrapers and

so forth and they've kind of positioned themselves as a beacon of tolerance in the middle east. there appears to be some type of diplomatic deal with israel pertaining to the halt, the annexation of occupied lands sought by the palestinians. this is significant because the uae would be the first gulf arab state to have a diplomatic ties to israel and only the third arab state overall after egypt and jordan. as soon as the president's remarks are queued up we'll bring them to you and get back to kevin corke. julie. >> julie: all right, the president's comments meantime coming after senator harris laid out a case against his reelection attacking him on a host of issues including the economy. >> 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, he ran it straight into the ground. >> trace: peter doocy is live for us. >> trace, sorry, i heard a phone ringing for a second. trace, we noticed something unusual here in wilmington yesterday. at big events politicians and candidates are used to constant interruptions for applause and for cheering, but there is none of that when you are campaigning in a global pandemic. and so both biden and his new running mate kamala harris are sticking to the script. >> julie: >> somebody who presented my fair share of arguments in

court. the case against trump and mike pence is open and shut. >> $26 million in 24 hours. how important cash is to the campaign. right after the big in-person reveal the first off from the democratic ticket was a virtual fundraiser. senator harris's convention speech will be next wednesday. they will be a hybrid of lines she likes to use when she was running for president. her pledge to work for the people and lines that she is adopting from the biden stump speech about building back better as she begins her role as a running mate to a guy who knows as much as anybody about being a running mate. >> when i agreed to serve at president obama's running mate he asked me a number of questions as i've asked kamala. the most important one 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 what i asked kamala. i asked kamala to be the last voice in the room. >> and both biden and harris will be together again today in delaware. they are going to get a briefing from public health officials about covid-19, trace. >> julie: peter doocy thank you. i apologize. my computer unmuted itself and where the phone call came from. i don't know who it was. clearly they aren't watching fox now. i'll toss it to you now, trace. >> trace: fox news has all the angles of the convention with the dnc next week. catch bret baier and martha maccallum as they preview the big event for democrats sunday night ahead of the start of the convention on monday. >> julie: fox news alert.

more protests in downtown portland overnight. police say a riot broke out. officers using tear gas to try to clear the crowd. meantime authorities are saying a group threw rocks and cans of paint injuring some officers on the ground. the oregonian reporting a pig's head was set on fire in the middle of third avenue. >> trace: southeast of portland federal agents battled hundreds of protestors in bend, oregon. the crowd blocked two unmarked ice buses. dan springer live in seattle with more. dan. >> two different protests in two different parts of oregon. the first was about immigration enforcement in bend, a relatively conservative part of the state. ice arrested two illegal immigrants in the morning. word spread among activists who soon surrounded the two unmarked buses. the crowd grew and demanded the

two men be relaoesd. the stand-off lasted for 12 hours before more than agents showed up and started using pepper spray and were able to walk the detainees off the bus and got them to a secure location. among the protestors were at least two bend city council members and the district attorney who tweeted i've never been so disgusted with my government and proud of my community. it drew an angry response from the former head of ice. >> he needs to resign today. disgusting. he is in direct conflict of his duties as a district attorney to protect his community and number two, protect law enforcement and the rule of law. >> ice says both men detained were violent criminals. the mayor of bend says she were told there was an arrest warrant for each of them. in portland last night protestors returned to the federal courthouse downtown and were tear gassed there for the first time since federal agents pulled out. police declared a riot after

getting hit are rocks and fireworks and used stun guns on a crowd of 200 to 300 protestors and made several arrests even though the people may never get prosecuted. it all comes the day after the district attorney there announced a new policy that his office won't prosecute so-called non-violent riot-related charges. >> trace: dan springer live in seattle. dan, thank you. fox news alert now we told you moments ago we're waiting for the president to come -- not waiting for the president. he has already spoken. we're waiting for the tape play back of the president speaking. there is word from the president that they have struck a deal between israel and the united arab emirates, diplomatic ties. this would be in association with a deal to halt the annexation of occupied land sought by the palestinians. let's get to trey yengst live for us in beirut.

>> good morning. there is no other way to put this. normalizing diplomatic ties between israel and the united arab emirates is a massive win for the trump administration. the israelis and uae. what we've seen is the president creates something out of nothing. after more than a year of trying to push forward the trump administration's deal of the century peace plan it appeared that the palestinians described it dead on arrival due in part to the fact that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu planned to move forward with annexation of lands in the jordan valley and also some other key settlements that the palestinians said would lead to conflict in the region. this announcement today will halt those annexation plans and also open up the door to further relations between the uae and israel which will create a security situation that will only strengthen the israelis in the region. you have to look across the persian gulf to iran from the uae the major enemy of israel in the middle east.

so this announcement is not only focused on technology and travel and tourism but it is also focused on regional security. this is something that you are going to see a lot more from the white house today talking about what this means for the region, what it means for the israelis and also the middle east as a whole. but what we are learning according to this statement is in the coming days there will be further talks between the israelis and those of the uae discussing what this means. we did see this joint statement released by the white house. president trump the crown prince of abu dhabi and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. what it could mean, we will likely start seeing direct flights from tel aviv to dubai and abu dhabi and open up the door for technological advances and diplomatic advances in the region. >> trace: the first gulf arab state to have diplomatic ties

with israel. only the third arab state overall after egypt and jordan which established ties back in the 70s and 80s. we got a comment from the israeli ambassador to the u.s. just tweeting great day for peace. israel commends the courage of mbz for the historic decision of the uae to join egypt and jordan in making peace with israel. israel deeply appreciates all trump has done to make this breakthrough possible. more to come and secretary of state mike pompeo just released this i'll read part of it saying historic day for peace in the middle east. today is an historic day and significant step forward for peace in the middle east after vigorous diplomatic outreach. president trump along with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the crown prince signed and agreement to normalize relations. this is remarkable for two of the world's most forward leaning technologically advanced states and reflects

their regional vision of an economically integrated region and commitment to confronting threat as small but strong nations. the united states hopes it will be the first step to end 72 years of hostilities in the region. we have a few seconds to the president and we want to note this is a victory for the president and jared kushner has a big part in negotiating this for the white house. he has been back and forth from the middle east. the president will talk about that and keep this in mind, the uae has been saying for years they are and hope to become a future beacon of tolerance in the middle east. this is economically as trey was pointing out there a huge step for them and for israel it means one, economic benefits. it also means strategic military benefits because the uae as a bulwark and a blockade

between iran and israel works as well and provide future military bases in the region that israel could work from. 30 seconds to the president. the deal here is that it would halt the annexation of occupied land sought by the palestinians. this also might improve relations and stop the friction and contention, at least a little bit, between the palestinians and the israelis. the president now at the white house. he will talk about this right now. >> president trump: thank you very much. this is very important. this is a big event and i want to just congratulate all of the people standing behind me. they have done an incredible job. this is something that hasn't been done in more than 25 years. just a few moments ago i hosted a very special call with two friends. prime minister benjamin netanyahu of israel and crown

prince of the united arab emirates. they agreed to finalize a historical peace agreement. everybody said this would be impossible. and as you know, mohammed is one of the great leaders of the middle east. after 49 years israel and the united arab emirates willfully formal lao*iz diplomatic relations. exchange embassys and ambassador and begin cooperation across the board and on a broad range of areas including tourism, education, healthcare, trade and security. this is a truly historic moment. not since the israel/jordan peace treaty was signed more than 25 years ago has so much progress been made towards peace in the middle east. by uniting two of america's closest and most capable partners in the region something which said could not be done, this deal is a significant step towards

building a more peaceful, secure, and prosperous middle east. now that the ice has been broken i expect more arab and muslim countries will follow the united arab emirates' lead. i want to thank them for being not surprising knowing mohammed so well not surprising they are in that lead position and normalized relations with israel, we are already discussing this with other nations, very powerful and very good nations. and people that want to see peace in the middle east. so you will probably see others of these but this is the first one in more than 25 years. this deal will allow much greater access to muslims from throughout the world to visit the many historic sites in israel which the muslims want to see very badly and have wanted to see for many, many decades. and to peacefully pray at the

mosque which is a very special place for them. my first trip as president was to saudi arabia in may of 2017 and my speech to the assembled leaders, the 54 muslim countries, every single one was by their leader, their number one leader. it was an amazing, really incredible event, very important event. i made clear that the problems of the middle east can only be solved when people of all faiths come together to fight islamic extremism and pursue economic opportunity for people of all faiths and when you look at what's happening you are seeing a lot of progress is being made that nobody thought could possibly be made. and things are happening that i can't talk about. but they are extremely positive. i want to thank the leaders of israel and the uae for their

courage and for their leadership to forge this tremendous agreement. it will be known as the abraham accord. i would like to ask our ambassador, david friedman, to please explain why we're doing and calling it the abraham accord. david. >> thank you, mr. president. congratulations to you on brokering this historic peace agreement. abraham, as many of you know, was the father of all three great faiths. he is referred to as abraham in the christian faith and other names in the muslim and jewish faith. no person better symbolizes the potential for unity among all these three great faiths than abraham. that's why this accord has been given that name. >> president trump: it's a great thing. i wanted it to be called the

donald trump accord but i didn't think the press would understand that. i didn't do that. [laughter] >> really been the honor of my life to work in your administration. i think this reaffirms your commitment to israel, to civility in the region. just historic accomplishment and it is peace, peace is a beautiful thing and something that everything in the country should celebrate, i hope. i'm so honored to be here in your administration. >> president trump: you've done a great job and jared has done a fantastic job. people don't really understand the things that he is able to do. he has done a fantastic job on this and you and your team, nobody else could have done it. i don't think anybody else could have done it. jared, say a few words, please. >> thank you, mr. president. i want to thank the president for his leadership on this historic peace effort. the president like with all

things urged us to take an untraditional approach. you can't solve problems that have gone unsolved by doing it the same way that people before you have tried and failed. the president takes untraditional approaches and does things in different ways but he uses common sense and he tries to unite people by focusing on common interests as opposed to allowing them to focus on the common grievances. what happened was here we were able to achieve results others were not able to achieve and it will advance the region and the whole world. i would like to say to the people of the region muslims, jews, christians, that this does give hope that the problems of the past do not condemn you to a future with conflict. there is a lot of hope and a lot of potential and this will benefit you and also benefit people here in america because in america we used to have a big dependency on the middle east for gas and for oil. thanks to your leadership america is energy independent and we no longer have that. a lot of american soldiers have

fought for securing our allies in that region and making more peace there lessens our need as a country to have as many soldiers in that region and lessens our need to have as many conflicts in that region. obviously radical extremism, which we see as a cancer that has infected so many areas in the world. a lot of extremists have used these conflicts to recruit people and to say that the mosque is under attack and muslims don't have access to the mosque. now this will enable people to take flights from dubai and -- muslims will be welcome in israel and be a better faith exchange. it is a step for peace in the world and israel and- >> president trump: we don't need oil, we don't need

anything there except friendship. we have some great friends, these are two countries that have been great friends and we've been great friends to them. we no longer have to be there. it started off when we had to be there. as of a few years ago we don't have to be there. we don't have to be patrolling the straits. we are doing things that other countries wouldn't do but we put ourselves over the last few years in a position where we no longer have to be in areas that at one point were vital. and that's a big statement. we are there for our friends and we always will be there for our friends. robert, would you say a few words, please? >> thank you. you inherited a middle east that was a mess when you came to office. this is one more historic step in bringing peace to the middle east. first of all there was a caliphate that was raging

>> thank you for this opportunity, mr. president. this really changes the world.

>> julie: thank >> president trump: thank you all very much. [applause] >> president trump: any other questions? >> mr. president -- >> could you describe the tenor of the conversation you had with the two other leaders? was there any hesitation on their part for reaching this deal? >> president trump: no. it was like in love. tremendous relationship built up over the last year. before that it was very tense, as everything in the middle east is, very tense. it is a very tense place. it is becoming less tense. i have great relationships with all of the leaders.

some of our -are enemies about each other. i have gotten along -- when i was elected they said the war will start with somebody within days. i have kept us out of war. you look at north korea, everybody said including president obama that's the biggest problem. everybody said you would be at war. we're not at war. there would have been a war if i wasn't elected, if it was somebody else. nowhere -- we're doing very well in the middle east and i tell you what, an incredible thing. the relationship has become a very good one between uae and israel. and also with other countries. many other countries. i think you will be seeing some very exciting things, including ultimately with the palestinians. i think that will be happening at some point because it makes a lot of sense for them to let it happen. >> president trump: we are

talking to israel about that now. you know your stuff, don't you? we're not going to talk to you about that. we'll work something out and talk after it's completed. it will be a very satisfactory? >> why now did they come to an agreement? >> president trump: we've been working on this for a long time. it has been a labor of love for a lot of the people in this room and a lot of them love israel and a lot of them love the middle east and they love the countries that we're talking about like uae as an example standing right here. it has been a labor of love. they know it has to happen and i don't want to be speaking too much about it but if you look what has happened since i broke up that ridiculous iran nuclear deal, money has been going to horrible groups and you haven't seen the kind of terrorism that you saw before. now i don't like saying it because all of a sudden they'll say we have to do something. but you know what? they're not getting money because iran isn't giving money.

i appreciate that. but iran is going through very difficult times and i appreciate that. i'll say this, i can say it very publicly. if i win the election i will have a deal made with iran within 30 days. they'll make a fast deal. they would much rather negotiate with sleepy joe biden than with us. but we'll be having a deal made very, very quickly. but rightfully they're waiting until after the election. there is nothing china, iran, russia, all of them would like to see more than have trump be defeated when they can deal with joe biden. that would be like a dream. and this was something that was very exciting. we thought this would be the first country, he is a great leader, mohammed is a great leader and we're very happy he was the first country i would say. you will see many other things happening in the middle east over a fairly short period of time. this is the first time in more than 25 years.

and uae is big stuff. uae is very powerful, very strong, has one of the strongest militaries. it is big stuff. >> do you know when other delegations will meet specifically? >> president trump: very soon. do you have the time. >> we expect there will be a meeting here at the white house with the leaders. >> president trump: an official signing at the white house over the next few weeks and other than that we'll meet you at 5:30 or so and talk and actually take one of your questions, okay? [applause] >> trace: a couple of rounds of applause for the president there. this is by all accounts an historical agreement exchanging the president said embassies and ambassadors between the united arab emirates and israel that will lead to in his words

an increase of tourism, education, strategic purposes, he is hoping more arab nations will build diplomatic ties for israel. a big boost for the president and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who in recent polls has been battered because of things like the coronavirus and the israeli prime minister just tweeted a short time ago this is also an historic day for israel. if anybody is wondering how the palestinians believe or what they think, this is the statement from them from the plo department of public diplomacy. israel got rewarded for not declaring openly what it has been doing to palestinian illegally and persistently since the beginning of the occupation, the uae has come out in the open oh its secret dealing. normallyization with israel. don't do us a favor. we're nobody's fig leaf. keep in mind the gulf arab nations have grown closer to israel in recent years not so much because of their love for

each other but because of their shared hatred with iran. not only iran but hezbollah in lebanon, which brings us to trey yengst who is now live for us in beirut with more on what is happening there. trey. >> trace, good morning. reaction to this across the middle east will likely pour in throughout the day. whether you like or dislike president trump, this is a massive foreign policy win for the trump administration. normalizing ties between the uae and israel appears to be the first step in what the white house is hoping will look like momentum for the region to try to work towards a peace agreement that will be, as jared kushner described in those remarks, untraditional. i interviewed him last summer during this conference where you had the arab states coming to the table except the palestinians. it appeared that this plan would ultimately deteriorate and nothing would come out of it. it looks like the trump

administration has made something out of nothing and what we're seeing now today the normalization of ties between the uae and israel isn't just a diplomatic win where you'll see now flights between places like tel aviv and abu dhabi but also a security win. when you look at the palestinians what the president has effectively done in the short term is avoid a new round of conflict between the israelis and palestinians. when you look back at that july 1 deadline it appeared the region was headed towards conflict because netanyahu the prime minister of israel was going to move forward with annexation plans. the new agreement will freeze those plans. when you look at the iranian regime the key enemy of the israelis you have to look at the strategic location at the uae. across the persian gulf sits the uae from iran. right now you will have a key u.s. ally and now a friend of israel as a result of this agreement which will only add to the security bolstering of the israelis. when you step back from all of

this and think about what this means for the president going into the election in november and debates that often will focus on foreign policy, joe biden is likely going the try to hit president trump on his foreign policy record. the president is going to put forth that he has a key historic peace plan in the middle east between israel and uae and point to the fact that he moved the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. recognized golan heights and taking out baghdadi and the leader of the islamic state and other movements we've seen from the trump administration not withholding some of the action against the regime of assad when they tar g*eted civilians with chemical weapons. it is focusing it on foreign policy and the president will point to achievements including this new diplomatic relationship between israel and the uae.

>> trace: also bad news for hezbollah in lebanon. you've been reporting on protests going on in lebanon. people are tired of the influence that hezbollah has in lebanon. it is bad news for hezbollah, bad news for iran and very good news for israel and the united states. trey yengst live for us in the middle east. back to you when the news breaks, thank you. julie. >> julie: i want to bring in walid phares fox news national security and foreign affairs analyst. he joins us now on the phone. thank you for taking the time. this is a big, big day for the middle east, the agreement. it will be known as the president just announced as the abraham accord known as the father of all three great faiths symbolizing the unity of muslims, christians and jews. how will those benefit here living in the united states? >> this is a historic day of

epic proportion and i'll explain why and a major victory for u.s. foreign policy and obviously for the president in this case. we're talking about the uae, which was not occupied as a launching pad to do the peace agreement as for egypt or jordan or for the plo before. so this peace agreement is going to create an alliance between two allies, the uae has been our ally for decades. we have a president there. we have a strategic cooperation with them and israelis are historic allies of the united states. when you put both of them together in the equation you'll get the following. number one, you'll have an activation of the peace between israelis and palestinians. it doesn't matter at this point in time if this is not going to be immediate, the processes between israelis and nrins, the uae is a major player in the gulf will be a driving force on

the economic, diplomatic and political level. there is a large palestinian community that profits from the uae. it will be helpful. the big strategic alliance between uae and israel will change the game in the middle east with regard to those bad actors including the iranian regime on the one hand but all other jihadists. i'll remind our viewers the uae was the first arab country to announce the longest list of terrorist organizations, the longest one after the united states in 2014. so all of the evidence now will come in addition to the joint economic ventures, the uae is very advanced even on technological grounds the uae has launched their own cosmonaut into space just a few weeks ago. the cooperation between israel, uae and united states will be in a different place and last,

julie, the uae will be first, not the last one to engage in that route. >> julie: okay. all right. i want to talk about the nightmare. iran's worst nightmare is what they just said. i want to talk about how this announcement makes the uae the first gulf state to do so and third arab nation to have active diplomatic tiles to israel. it stops israel's annexation of palestinian -- >> the last point is yes, probably. we will know soon that the uae has actually asked the united states and israel that they need something that they can offer to the palestinians. so freezing some of the action that israel was undertaking in the west bank as a demand from the uae will yield results in terms of there will be a palestinians leadership that will engage with the uae.

the uae will play the role we expected from egypt and jordan. but because of domestic situations in these countries it did not happen. that's a plus for a peace process between palestinians and israelis which is going to profit from this. as you just mentioned earlier, the uae may be also bringing to the table after they sign their own peace treaty their neighbors, who knows? the saudis, they've been speaking with the israelis anyway. this is the beginning of a new process, not just the uae. >> julie: i repeat, i ran's worst nightmare. thank you for talking to us. >> trace: ocasio-cortez is speaking for 60 seconds at the democratic convention. how does she feel about such a brief appearance? h insurance and a partner who listens and acts. humana calls it human care.

we might be looking at 12 years of liberal power because of the specter of very young and ambitious person on the ticket. that's a real fear. you just talked about your party being united. that doesn't sound very united to me. will the harris pick divide the left or do you think the progressives and far left are a small group of democrats that are unhappy with this pick? >> you know, we welcome everybody into the democratic party. we're a big t*ent party with many faces and voices but we all believe that every vote must count. everyone is rallying behind this ticket. we have a lot of work to do in the next 81 days. i won't focus too much on what one person has to say or one organization because there are many. we respect them, get on board. we need everyone, all hands on deck. >> julie: in the final days of biden's decision making process there are several prominent progressives that said privately i understand that they had hoped he would have
