eric: prime minister benjamin netanyahu speaking out. he's about to join us right here on america's news headquarters, first televised interview since historic u.s. brokered peace agreement with the united arab emirates, what the landmark deal means and how the region is better prepare today face the threat from iran and more on the results of the trump administration foreign policy that exclusive interview with the prime minister coming up minutes from now. hello, everyone, welcome to america's news headquarters, i'm eric sean. hi, arthel. arthel: i'm arthel neville, i'm looking forward to your exclusive interview but we will begin with congressional democrats sounding the alarm on the u.s. postal service.

the house oversight committee calling louis dejoy to testify. democrats accusing him of deliberately slowing mail delivery and underfunding the agency ahead of an election where a record number of americans are expected to vote by mail. we have fox team coverage on this david spunt following the president in bridgewater, new jersey but we begin with mark meredith reporting live from washington. mark. mark: arthel, good afternoon, democrats are accusing the trump administration of trying to sabotage the post office ahead of the general election and democrats are placing the blame squarely on the newly installed post master general and as you mentioned they want him to testify before congress later on this month. now, louis dejoy was sworn in as new post master general back in june. before that well-known businessman and also a very generous republican donor and also contributing to president trump's campaign. since taking over dejoy has made a number of changes at the post office including cutting back on

employee overtime and also calling for operations to be overhauled holding some deliveries a bit longer in an effort to save money but the changes have sparked controversy on saturday, a group of demonstrators showed up outside of dejoy's dc home to protest and now the post office inspector general is looking into dejoy's work in the last couple of months. we also have seen democrats demand details about the post office's plans for mail-in voting and ensure that the post office is prepared for the november election. >> the bill is being put together right now during covid that we don't take out machines to move mailboxes, tell postal workers that they can't work overtime. mark: while democrats are asking him to testify, congressman cooper of tennessee could go further, we need to subpoena the post master general and if he fails to appear we should send the sergeant at arms to arrest him.

now the post office says it's already working with individual states to best explain to them how they are going to be be able to handle mail-in voting come november and spokesperson says thiara ready for this, the postal service's financial condition is not going to impact our ability to process and deliver election and political mail but the post office is warning those individual states that delays are possible so certainly out there and with congress demanding we hear from the post master general this issue is not going away any time soon. arthel. arthel: mark meredith, thank you. now we will go to david spunt, he's following the president in bridgeparty, new jersey, david, the president vaguely weighing in on the controversy, tell us more about that. david: a lot of talk about the postal service. the organization has been around for almost 20 years, arthel, the first post master general benjamin franklin, long history and story tradition at the post office but the inspector general

investigating after democrats are calling on post inspector general tammy to investigate allegations that collection boxes had been removed, machines are no longer working and employees are seeing overtime cut and democrats calling voter suppression and louis dejoy, trump donor with deep pockets and promised to do the best he can for the organization and he's under constant criticism. yesterday his boss, the president of the united states, defended mr. dejoy. listen. >> the steps that he has taken are trying to stop the tremendous losses that have taken place for many, many years and trying to streamline the post office and make it great again. david: democrats want 25 billion with a b dollars for the post office to make sure voting is streamlined, a number the president says he's not prepared to sign off at this time, also sad news from new jersey,

president trump is mourning the loss of his younger brother trump. he was just 11 days short of 72nd byrd and died in manhattan hospital yesterday after fighting an illness, an undisclosed illness. i want to read a statement from the president of the united states directly to the american people about his brother's passing. he says it is with a heavy heart that i share that my wonderful robert peacefully passed away tonight and he was not just my brother and my best friend, he would be greatly missed, we will pete again, robert, rest in peace. joe biden put out tweet, jill and i are sad to learn of younger robert's passing, i know tremendous pain of losing a love one and i know how important family is in moments like this. i hope that you know that our prayers with you all. president trump has a busy week going to four battleground states over the next few days but i'm told he will be attending his brother's funeral

service whenever that's announced to the public, arthel. arthel: and my sincere condolences to president trump and his entire family and our prayers are with you as well, sir. all right, david spunt, thank you. david: definitely. eric: yes, sympathies to president and his sisters and the whole trump family on this loss. more on controversy surrounding postal service, welcome. what are the post office workers -- what do they tell you they are seeing on the floor? >> well, what they are telling us and they are very troubled by it is that the new policies of the new post master general are actually slowing down the mail and postal workers are extremely dedicated to the mission of serving the people and the country and taught to treat the mail as if it's our own and

that's underscored in the pandemic, frontline as essential workers in dangerous and challenging times, we have proudly been out there connecting the people, the country. we are getting reports from all over the country from boast postal workers and customers that mail, indeed, is slowing down and we work under a law that says we provide prompt and reliable efficient services and prompt means speed and that's what we are dedicated to as postal workers. we want the policies to be -- to be immediately reversed. we made that clear both privately and publicly to the new post master general. eric: the nation i think we take mail for granted and you go down the end of the driveway and the mail is always there somehow, so we owe debt of tremendous gratitude to all the postal workers around the country. do you think this slowdown, the administration said it's because they are trying to streamline the service because of the tremendous budget problems that it is not a working business

model anymore? do you think these are being done for business efficiency? do you think they are trying to gum up the work? >> i can't think of motivation. i just look at the needs. it's not the united states postal business and that's for a reason, it's called the united states postal service and that's for a reason and what enables us to go to every single address no matter who we are and no matter where we live is the universal service mandate so it's not just so simple to apply a cost-cutting measure. the emergency financial condition is actually caused by the impact of the covid economic crisis and there we need congress to act and that was a lot of the short-run problems and at the end of march -- >> eric: what do you want to see? >> well, we would like to see the 25 billion that passed the

house of representatives but it's not just democrats that are asking for that, the postal board of governors in a unanimous ask and it's a republican majority board asked for more than $25 billion of covid related relief and it's now in the hands of the senate and in the hands of conversations that are going on. at the end of march, the congress and this administration took care of private sector through the tune of over $500 billion, the post office did not get a dime. it's time for congress to act and make sure that the post office is taken care of because that takes care of the people of the country. it's not about a shareholders, it's about the people of the country and we don't run on tax dollars, but this is -- it's an emergency. eric: remarkable the volume this morning mark meadows was talking about this, 8.6 billion, 8.6 billion pieces of mail every month, you perhaps could have

150 million people casting their ballot by mail and you would think that the postal service could handle that. here is mr. meadows discussing that saying the post master general dejoy that he will authorize to get us through election appropriately and correctly. here is mark meadows. mark: there's no sorting machines that are going offline between now and the election. that's something that my democrat friends are trying to do to stoke fear out there. that's not happening. i can tell you that the sorting machines, listen, the volume of first-class mail that they have at the postal system right now we haven't seen the volume since i was 17 year's old. eric: do you have confidence that the workers, the folks on the front lines that they can get the job done for the election? >> i have absolute confidence in postal workers. we are not beholding to any candidate or any ballot issue or any political party when we are talking about moving mail ballot and giving it priority and

moving heaven and earth to make sure ballots get there on time. it's a preferred way of voting for many, many people and we have been doing it for generations. nothing new. our military personnel has been voting by mail going back to civil war, virtually free of any fraud and now we are in a pandemic where people will actually have access to the ballot box and many, many cases they are going to have to vote by mail. so i have absolute confidence that the post office has the capacity, the postal workers have the dedication to our civic duty but what we can't have our hands being tied by policies that slow down anything that we do whether it's medicines, veterans, seniors or mail ballots. we certainly want people to vote by mail, it's secure, private, vote early and get that vote in and we will get it there on time. eric: yeah, that's what they say, get that absentee ballot and get the request in. it's either snow nor rain nor

gloom of nights day complete position of rounds, the motto of the postal service still stands today in the challenges that we face. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. ♪ ♪ arthel: well, it is a big week ahead for democrats as the party kicks off its convention in milwaukee tomorrow. this election cycle absent the media blitz no large gatherings because of coronavirus. the convention will be mostly virtual. peter doocy is live in wilmington, delaware where the presumptive democratic nominee will be making acceptance speech later this week. peter, tell us more. peter: arthel, good afternoon, as we all remember a strong keynote speech at the dnc convention in 2004 is credited with putting barack obama on the pathway to the presidency just four years later but this year

>> if i win, which i hope to win, how can you not when you see numbers like this both on the virus and on the economy. eric: well, that's president trump last night saying that the administration could move to slap -- snap back sanctions against iran in the united nations this upcoming week. after rejecting u.s. resolution to extend 13-year long arm's embargo. benjamin netanyahu calling that failure scandalous saying, quote, iranian terrorism and aggression threaten the peace of the region and the entire world. this comes after the major diplomatic victory this past week. the prime minister and the president and the emirates crown

prince to restore full diplomatic relations with first arab gulf nation in israel, other gulf states could soon follow and that would realign the middle east to face the growing iranian threat. with more on this prime minister benjamin netanyahu. you must be feeling good, pretty surprise that you sprung on the world. >> well, thanks to president trump and the crown prince mohamed, i think we are changing and making history. peace is a good thing and the peace units moderate -- two of the most advanced economies in the world, israel and the united arab emirates and we are fighting iran and radicals and

propagate terrorism, this is good for security, good for prosperity. i think it's good for the united states and good for israel. eric: first it was egypt relations established back in 1979 and then jordan in 1994. eu one of gulf countries, which one would follow? what do you think will follow next? >> i think the next pursuing discreetly as we work discreetly to achieve breakthrough peace. all i can tell you is that i have been talking to arab leaders sometimes in the open as in my public visit to oman in the late sultan that invited my wife and me to formal visit even though we didn't have diplomatic relations and i can tell you that's not the only meeting that

i've held in the region and the arab countries have been coming around to see that they can't be held hostage by palestinians, they have peace with israel and change technologies and coronavirus vaccine development, health, infrastructure, energy, all the wonders of israeli technology and entrepreneurship that you see in gulf states and especially in emirates and in israel, and if we join things we can do wonderful things and limitless things for the benefit of the people and well-being and for their security. eric: diplomatic relations you just pointed out have been announced israeli research company uae is working on covid but you also have the fact like jerusalem post, you can read that in uae and you have direct telephone service and soon direct flights and you mentioned the palestinians for years we

have seen that you have to have peace with the palestinians and the rest of the arab world would come around and you trimmed around and establishing peace with arab neighbors and working on the palestinian issue? >> look, if you give the palestinians a veto on peace between israel and the arab world we will never have peace with the arab world because they are refusing to have any realistic settlement. by the way president trump's peace plan is the only realistic proposal that's been put forward for many decades but the palestinians are not coming around, so i think it's actually not that if we have a breakthrough with the palestinians we will broke open to arab world. i think it's the other way around. we will have a breakthrough with arab states and the palestinians will come around in a more realistic way, so i think this is good for peace all around, but i think that, you know, i think that it really does begin to change history. it's third-peace agreement that israel has had with arab

country. the first peace agreement between israel and one of the gulf states and i think the first peace agreement in which i promulgate new doctrine, some people call it the netanyahu doctrine, it's called peace for peace and peace through strength. now, you know peace through strength. nobody wants to make peace with a weak country. everybody wants to make peace with a strong country and i think that under my leadership israel has become a very strong country, strong economically, strong technologically, strong in terms of security and strong in the willingness to face up to a regime that bullies everyone and threatens everyone, i'm talking about iran. this is peace of the strong and i think peace of the hopeful for the future. eric: we've -- i've interviewed you starting back in 1984 when you were were united nations ambassador here in new york and we talked about iran and islamic terrorism at that time and you wrote this book and i'm holding

it up right now. terrorism, how the west can win. you wrote this book i think it was a couple of years into your tenure as the united nations ambassador and now you see what happened at the united nations where you used to work just this past week giving iran basically, not just a free pass, but they could have a flow of weapons coming in starting in october, russia and china vetoing the u.s. backed resolution, what does that day about what we have or have not learned all of these years since we first started talking about this decades ago? >> well, first of all, i smile because, you know, the u.s. -- rather the un disappoints us once again. well, that's not a surprise. we in israel have been disappointed by the un time and time again, but i think that this particular decision is absolutely scandalous, you know, iran is proving murder and terror throughout the middle east, attacking everyone. it tax saudi arabia, it attacks

-- it attacks iraq, it attacks -- tries to attack us through syria and lebanon. it's just in africa, everywhere sowing mayhem and what does the un do, rejects the u.s. resolution that calls on the renewal of the arm's embargo to iran. iran has done nothing to earn this from the un, it does everything not to earn it and basically see continuation to have arm's embargo and what is needed for blocking aggression and furthering peace and again the un has disappointed us. not a surprise but disappointment but we in israel will do whatever we need to do to defend ourselves against iran's aggression and i'm sure the un -- the u.s. will do the same. eric: do you think ironically with the iranian nuclear deal negotiated under the obama administration that in a certain way and this is ironic called

gulf nations to have a second look and actually in a sense got them to mistrust iran even more and come to the table and meet you and start diplomatic relations? >> well, what i can tell you, eric, is that i know many leaders in the middle east were -- took note of the fact that i was willing to stand up sometimes against the entire world, sometimes alone against the dangerous nuclear deal with iran. i think that definitely had a contribution to achieving the historic, many countries now in the middle east used to view israel as their enemy, now view as indispensable ally in protecting their future and their security. eric: it is a seemingly changing step by step with the victory.

israeli prime minister netanyahu, thank you for coming to fox news channel. good to talk with you and we will keep up with you when another gulf nation will establish diplomatic relations, of course, we will report on that. thank you, sir. >> thank you, and we deeply, deeply appreciate the help of president trump and the u.s. in advancing this peace and further peace deals. it's been indispensable and much appreciated. eric: it seems like there will be more, thank you. arthel. arthel: terrific, job, eric. thank you very much, well, tomorrow we will get our first look at how a virtual convention works as democrats make the case for a biden-harris administration, a look at some of the big names speakers that will be dialing in and how they plan to energize voters without the usual spectacle.

eric: headlines for you this afternoon as we enter yet another week in the coronavirus pandemic that so far claimed lives of 169,000 americans. the center for disease control says the number of cases and rate of infections increased steadily from march to july. cd c says 16% of those children were asymptomatic but warns the study suggests infected kids not showing any symptoms could be as high as 45%. georgia's governor extending executive order extending till the end of the month prohibiting damager gatherings. there's no statewide mandate there and extended ability of local governments to own masks. it's time to get the rising number of cases and positivity rate that are increasing finally

under control. >> now is the moment to do common sense things. i know they maybe inconvenient, but they are common sense. you all have a mask on. we all can do this together and prevent this spread whether we are in a rural area or in an urban area. eric: topeka and wichita are seeing more spread of the virus. 109 teachers and staff in the santa ana valley school district refuse to show up to classrooms and don't feel safe teaching in front of students. arthel. arthel: eric, tomorrow marks the beginning of what will be a very different democratic national convention. the speeches and festivities

will be mostly virtual as joe biden and kamala harris accept the party's nomination to run for the white house. here to talk about it donna brazile, former interim dnc chair and fox news contributor. donna, always great to see you and understand that you have all your credentials and you're ready for the ride. donna: this is my backdrop that i will be using for my presentations. i have my pads, my all-access pads. we have also received note cards where we will be watching, dems across america, all 50 states, district of colombia, puerto rico, i have my joe sign, i went for my kamala sign, team joe. but look, this is going to be unconventional convention. as we know because of the pandemic, arthel, we are going to gather wherever we are in a safe place so that we can watch history be made. arthel: and, you know, listen,

donna, the most critical part of biden-harris journey, it will begin tomorrow. i want to begin with what should be smooth road and how do they galvanize and energy the base to turn up and turn out and specifically what's their messaging? donna: the message is a simple message, uniting america, uniting america because a united country is one that can fight a pandemic. a united county can deal with the challenges in terms of our economy, if we unit the american people we can restore the soul of this country and so i'm excited that this convention will bring unconventional speeches, unconventional performances because we are going to see ordinary extraordinary americans not just politician that is we are accost -- accustomed to seeing because this is an excitement moment for our country. new leadership for new times. arthel: and you are going to have the democratic power houses

like michelle obama, hillary clinton, president obama and clinton and what message must they deliver to add fuel to your party's tank? donna: we stand on their shoulders, their tremendous shoulders because of obama, clinton and i can go back that we've arrived at this moment. joe biden wanted to be a transitional figure and because of that we are going to see new people, 17 different keynote speakers. i remember back in 1976 watching barbara jordan give a keynote speech from new orleans where i'm from. arthel: where i'm from too. you can't claim new orleans by yourself. donna: i am so proud that this is chance at democratic convention. i've been delegate since 1996

and pleased to cast my ballot for joe biden and kamala harris. arthel: i think some people are considering the upsetting nature that some people are experiencing, but, you know, you also have the progressive super stars like senator bernie sanders, aoc, they are going to be on message, how do they convince their followers to get -- to get on the biden-harris bus and stay on board for the long haul? donna: well, as you well know, we have senator bernie harris -- bernie sanders. we have john kasich from the great state of ohio, from the buck eye state, we are bringing everybody together, doesn't matter if your liberal, conservative, this is a party that wants to unite the country. arthel: president obama spoke

with david, his podcast -- on podcast friday. you know, of course, david was his 2012 campaign manager and he's saying president trump says the road for -- excuse me president obama said the road for biden-harris could be uphill if a vaccine is available. let's listen to president obama. donna: yeah. >> it's possible that some of the trials that are being done result in us knowing before the election that a vaccine is on the way. that might relieve people's anxieties and that's good and we should hope for that but that also can change the dynamic particularly when you have a president who takes responsibility for nothing but takes credit for everything. arthel: so listen, that would be great for the american people as president obama said but it could propel president trump to reelection, what's your reaction?

donna: well, first of all, david, ran the president's campaign in 2008, i don't want them to think i'm trying to shortchange. i want a vaccine, i want a cure, i want more testing, i want more people -- i think every democratic, every american would like to see a cure. we would like to see a vaccine but that's not going to stop us from fighting for the american people to try to get the job backs and try to open schools. yes, president obama is right. we understand that the race will likely tighten and we know that president trump is a gifted, gifted politician when it comes to, you know, diverting attention and making it all about himself. you know what's the difference we have community up and down the ballot that is will energize the american people that will tell our story and we will -- we will prevail because we understand what it takes to win this time. arthel: okay, everybody will be watching this week, of course, good luck to you, donna brazile,

and who that to you. donna: who that to you, my sister. arthel: check out donna tomorrow with top political analysts tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern. you have donna brazile and the other all stars joining our all stars, bret baier and martha mccallum. arthel: thank you, friend. [laughter] eric: all right. well, changing gears now. you know there was a devastating storm in the nation's heartland this week and it left destruction in its wake. it tore through the region flattening crops and wiping out livestock and farmers they -- there are trying to pick up what's left of their livelihood. we will be right back.

arthel: triple whammy for parts of upper midwest where farmers are losing business due to the pandemic as they continue to feel the pinch from increased china tariffs and this week, past week mother nature dealt them yet another big blow when a rare powerful storm called the derachio rift through the region. 85,000 homes and businesses are still without power almost a week later after the storm happened which damaged more than 10 million acres of crops in iowa alone. dustin hoffman, broadcaster with the iowa agra business radio network joining us now from a corn field. man, you know, dustin, $10 million worth of damage crops in iowa alone. this is no doubt devastating. make us understand how bad things are, real-world,

real-life impact. >> well, right now, arthel, as you look behind me you see what's left of a flattened corn field here in central iowa, a few miles north of des moines and the field would be standing 6 to 7 feet tall well above my head and now it's laying flat and a few plants that are going to be coming back from this but the latest that came in 14 million acres in iowa, over 5 and a half million acres of soybeans tangled together and over 8 million acres of corn and so what's going to happen for us here, first of all, just on the crop side of it, it's going to be a slow-go just because the corn is down does not mean it's dead. there are some corn plant that is have snapped and the corn will be done for it. they start to make harvest and harvest slower going because

even if the crop does survive, they will have to get it off the ground rather than when it's nice a tall. arthel: how long does it take to recover and where is the aid? >> a lot of work being done with federal crop insurance as far as making them whole there. last we had heard 58,000 policies holders of federal crop insurance are affected right now and it is -- we are looking at right now, though, it's going to take a while. we could see several weeks of this corn before it comes up or before it can stand up or never stand up straight again. arthel: you said -- i want to know about aid immediately because i think you said 58,000 farmers have insurance policies that or claims out, when are they going to get the money, do you know? >> depends on how soon adjustors

can get out here. in iowa we have a situation that roads are closed because powers are down. it's gradually getting open and how soon debris can be off the road. cleaning roads and getting themselves moving again and insurance adjustors can start and evaluating the crops and the property as well. arthel: i'm going to throw this out there is there anything any of us listening can help? >> you can look for different organizations, unioned way, look for local organizations especially in cedar rapids and some of the world communities as well that have been affected by that. that's what's going on right now. there's a lot of organization going on. there are some gofundme pages out there to help with this, but, yeah, it's going to take a while before we are whole and is everyone is saying around here iowa will be whole and we will get back on the ground. arthel: when i saw the images it really hit me in my heart and i want all of the farms and farming communities to be whole and to be able to profitable and

recover from this as best as they can and whatever help that is due to go their way, dustin hoffman, thank you very much. >> thank you, arthel. arthel: eric. eric: well, arthel, from the corn fields of iowa to cities under siege. you know gun violence erupting again in major spots around the country leaving dead victims on the streets, how police are responding next.
