wealthy peers, but will provide a safety net for peoples facing hard times. and if we want to have a chance to pursue any of these goals, any of these most basic requirements for a functioning society, we have to vote for joe biden numbers i that can't be ignored. because right now, folks who know they cannot win it fair and square at the ballot box are doing everything they can to stop us from voting. they are closing down polling places in minority neighborhoo neighborhoods. they are purging voter rolls, they are sending people out to intimidate voters and they are lying about the security of our ballots. these tactics are not new. but this is not the time to withhold our votes in pretense or play games with candidates who have no chance of winning.

we have got to vote like we did in 2008 and 2012. we've got to show up with the same level of passion and hope for joe biden. we have got to vote early, in person if we can, we've got to request our mail in ballots right now tonight and send them back immediately. follow-up to make sure that they are received and then make sure that our friends and families do the same. we have got to grab our comfortable shoes, put on our masks, pack a brown bag of dinner, maybe breakfast too, because we have got to be willing to stand in line all night if we have to. look, we have already sacrificed so much this year. so many of you are already going an extra mile. even when you're exhausted, you are mustering up unimaginable courage to put on those scrubs

and give our loved ones a fighting chance. even when you are anxious, you are delivering those packages, stocking the shelves, and doing all that essential work so that all of us can keep moving forward. even when it all feels so overwhelming, working parents are somehow piecing it all together without child care, teachers are getting creative so that our kids can still learn and grow. our young people are desperately fighting to pursue their dreams. and when the hordes of systemic racism shook our country and our consciousness, millions of americans of every age, every background it rose up to march for each other. crying out for justice and progress. this is who we still are. compassionate, resilient, decent

people. whose fortunes are bound up with one another. and it is well past time for our leaders to once again reflect our truths. so, it is up to us to add our voices and our votes to the course of history echoing heroes like john lewis who said when you see something that is not right, you must say something. you must do something. that is the truest form of empathy. not just feeling, but doing. not just for ourselves, or our kids, or for everyone. for all our kids. and if we want to keep the possibility of progress alive in our time, if we want to be able to look our children in the eye after the selection, we have got

to reassert our place in american history. and we have got to do everything we can to elect my friend, joe biden. as the next president of the united states. thank you all. god bless. >> martha>> bret: former first , michelle obama, a quiet sobering speech at a taped message but one that imagines translates pretty powerfully to democrats better than they would translate in the hall with packed folks. at one time saying that donald trump is the wrong president for our country, he cannot meet at this moment. specifically saying that joe biden is the man who can. >> martha: she said that trump is in over his head, she said that it is what it is, dana, we have heard that the former first lady had been down lately and it seems that in moments she seemed on the verge of tears as she deliver the speech.

if she feels very strongly about's going on right now and she definitely wants to get out the votes.es difficult to connect with a audience any actual offense there with you but has the ability the ability to connect with people through the screen but you talk about authenticity, she has it in spades. she has that voice, she has like clarity, and she knows when she's out there wanting to do and she was trying to get everybody to really focus and then she had the call to action. after your ballot tonight i think at the dnc as they look over the course of the night, the first virtual convention for history, i think they would say that michelle obama stuck the landing. >> bret: chris wallace, your thoughts? >> i agree, dana, it's interesting, michelle obama as she said, doesn't like politics and she said the speech is the main contribution to the biden campaign. it was a heck of a contribution. she really flayed and sliced and sdiced donald trump, talking about the chaos and confusion

and the lack of empathy, especially coming from the president and the white house. spoke more about the deficits of donald trump and the pluses of joe biden, p but did talk about, especially, not soll much polics but especially his empathy and what he has been through and his care for average americans. h he said we have to vote for donald -- for joe biden like our lives depend on it and again, very practical, not just, you know, this is what you're feeling syrupy but you got to get out, you've got to vote, you've got to convince your neighbors tot, vote. this was a very effective speech. >> martha: juan, what did you think? >> will tell you guys, i didn't know how she could outperform which he did in 2016, and you remember when they go low, we go high, but she really did it. dana said she stock and chris said that this was a speech that came from the heart. i'll tell you how i heard it, martha. i heard it like a son. i thought she spoke like a mother come out like a stern

mother come out like a tiger mom saying to you this is important. this is something that's important to our family. this is who we are in this family. this is our identity. we have empathy, we understand compassion, and you know, i'm just paraphrasing her here. because we haven't been lying to you, this is who america -- this is people of value and the principles of america stand for and that's why we speak this way to our children. i am surprised that -- how penetrating i felt it to be. i really thought that was a greatly speech. >> bret: this is a democrats week, it's their time to put their foot forward. this really was their best foot forward on the first night first night. it's because she was a really good, a very good speaker and for someone who doesn't like politics she certainly is good at it. i don't dispute anything my colleagues have said about how effective the speech was, but away the factor of how we view these things and were talking about the style and some broad themes. it were not talkingoa about the

specifics of what she said. which was absolutely laced with distortions and exaggerations, but that's we expected with the political rhetoric, that's the way you do it. becomes, youon know, not the actual truthfulness of the case that is made, but how effectively it's deliveredd and effectively the attacks are to have the effect on the electorate that she hopes for. i suspect in this case, probably it did. >> martha: your thoughts and there was one person that she did not mention tonight. >> yeah, i was a little bit concerned that i was waiting and she kept talking about joe biden and she knows joe biden very well but she also knows kamala harris, one of the first to endorse barack obama when he ran. i was disappointed but i just heard that perhaps she taped the speech before the announcement. but i'm disappointed that we not here kamala harris, the first black first lady of the united states did not mention the first black female ever to be on the major party ticket. i'm a little disappointed i did not hear that.

>> martha: it surprising and that was several days ago now, but i guess it giveses us a lite bit of a marker l how long ago e laid down the speech. you know, just in closing, i wonder how everyone feels about what we thought tonight in terms of virtual presentation. and whether or not it is overall effective. i mean, do people stick with a question mark do people follow this? >> bret: we are getting through this the first time too, the beginning of the show and a little audio glitch and you heard bill hemmer there, it's our first night but we've got other nights to go. listen i want to say that fox news has not changed, we have covered both parties conventions, from the beginning of the network. fully and fairly from all sides. we will continue to. i'm back tomorrow 6:00 p.m. eastern was due back "special report. >> martha: i'll be back with "the story" and back tomorrow at 10:00it eastern. thank you from the democratic convention. >> breta spewing good night, ev. >> martha: good night,

everybody. ♪ >> i'm laura ingraham and this is the ingraham angle with a full accounting of what you just saw on night one of the democratic national convention. now, tonight you will get exclusive reaction from eric trump, senator ted cruz, victor david hanson, sara carter, dinesh d'souza, more. the democrats billed tonight as a program to promote unity. will show you and you won't see it anywhere else, but this was nothing but a series of bromides to and cliches and turns out to be ane empty buzzword. equality, theyal trotted out mayor muriel bowser who cares more about a blm mural in her city and the fact that homicides are up in her majority black city nearly 20% over last year. now, to discuss covid, they brought on governor andrew cuomo of new york.

now, he oversaw some of the highest death tolls in the nation in his nursing home t policy was alone responsible for the deaths of 10,000 new yorke new yorkers. to discuss how democrats are the wparty of the working man, they trotted out bernie sanders to rail against wall street and corporate interest? this time tonight they filled their program with lobbyists and on ait day where it was revealed they were getting more money from wall street this cycle than they have in the decade. i wonder why. of china. sorry. you can see it's a night of contradiction and of course unity, and we will bring you more of this throughout the hour. but first, here to weigh in on the first night of the dnc, steve cortes, trump 2020 campaign advisor and former governor oofpennsylvania. i want to give everybody a taste of how democrats tried to woo

middle america tonight. >> were challenging all kinds of institutions and think about what they can do w better to end systemic racism. speak of the divisions have been growing deeper and the anti-semitism, the anti-emigrant fervor, racism and charlottesville. to speak of the most destructive, hateful, racist president in the history of this country.de >> authoritarianism has taken root in the country. >> turning it into a reimagining of a nation. >> laura: now, steve got i'm thinking of the people i spent last week with in minnesota. i was down there on east lake street, that was flattened by the riots. at the end of may. all over the state. i was thinking, how does this play to the average minnesotan? alall right, i was flabbergasted at the very negative and

depressing presentation tonight. and it's even the first lady and of course she gave a great speech because she's a very powerful speaker, never take that away from her and she is a global celebrity, but is this really connecting with that to middle american still believes that precovid life should be attainable? >> it certainly will not connect and it's clear that this was for a crowd in brooklyn, new york, rather than places like wisconsin this was catering to hollywood rather than the heartland. celebration of america,f it was an indictment f america and i'll tell you is a proudam america, and even recognize the country that they were describing in thiss ridiculous long commercial that they put on tonight. they were describing some sort of dystopian, racist, held skate. i would give you just a couple points to push back against that and number one, this is the greatest country on earth in which to be a racial or ethnic minority and i say that as a

hispanic. i would also tell you this. if we were in the country the democrats described tonight, why would tens if not hundreds of millions of people around the world who are definitively not white skin, why would they so yearn to come for this country? they must be false according to the democratic party to want to come to a country that is as systemically racist athlete democrats are trying to give us to believe. >> laura: governor rendell, i love having you on the show and timmy, you're more like a classic democrat andik to me the classic democrat of york, when i say you are, i mean like 5 minutes ago, five years ago maybe. this party is kind of unrecognizable. i mean, you did not hearu many policies, you heard trump bad man, trump not empathetic, trump is terrible, trump is rotten, america is rotten. i heardd nothing about how the democrats are going to make our lives better.

why is that? >> first of all, laura, you have to understand both conventions to democrats and republicans. being taken in their entirety and hear more about the specific economic proposals. this nights and has three purposes come out one, to have senator sanders persuaded his supporters and all the supporters to vote for joe biden. i think he did a good job. secondly, s to get people like e two former republican presidential candidates to endorse joe biden. to get one of the greatest governors in the history ofor te country, to endorse joe biden buried him to give suburban women and suburban men the comfort level of switching and voting democrat for this election. he accomplished that in a big way. and then thirdly to have michelle obama fire up the pace and she did a absolutely spectacular job.

so you canhe call on the content of this one night but take the convention as a fortnight story and there's more lead on some of the proposals.e but those were the three things that we had accomplished them big time. >> laura: well on that point, there was aha moment bernie sanders rattled off a few quickies and then he also said this. t watch. >> our movement continues and is getting stronger every day. many of the ideas we fought for, that just a few years ago were considered radical, are now mainstream. >> laura: i love how he beats out every word, radical. he admits it's radical, he saying it's radical. the radicals have won in the democrat party, it's not ed rendell's party anymore, that party is gone and buried it and i don't know if they'll ever come back again.

steve. >> this is not your parents or grandparents party and he's right in the positions that i just recently as a few years ago were considered extremist and fringe leftist radical views are now considered orthodox. really unassailable within the democratic party and to be specific, what do i mean? things like effectively open borders they don't use the phrase of course but if you decriminalize border crossing and offer generous benefits to illegal aliens who don't belong in the country and joe biden promised them even more than that, full citizenship in the country even to reward them for breaking and entering into our land, theseea are the kinds of policies now unfortunately within the democratic party the norm. they have not been the main stream policies within america and therein lies the rub it and it's our job on the trump campaign to make sure that we effectively communicate just how radical the 2020 biden-harris democratic party is. again, i think they did us a favor tonight by showcasing their cynicism, their skepticism of this country.

again, this was an indictment that we saw tonight. >> laura: all right we got -- all right, move onra from that point because just for a moment, add to, tal touch back to whitm, christie todd, just for a moment because i think thaten i'm thinking in the last even cnn poll, 91% of republicans and i think other polls show 95% or 96 and one poll supported the president o. so john kasich and meg whitman, what's their constituency in the united states of america? god bless him, i guess they are nice people, but that to me is just a waste of airtime. i don't see how that gives comfort to anyone that joe biden is going to have the plan for magically stopping covid other than shutting down the whole country there i don't know, next year? >> the thing is, a lot of the republicans have left the republican party and become

independent. they still have to be persuaded to go through joe biden. and they are still republicans in the philadelphia suburbs, for example, they are still registered where you say 9%, 10%. well, you persuade two-thirds of the 10%. there goes michigan. there goes wisconsin, there goes pennsylvania. if so, you can't minimize an election that will probably be as close as '16 was buried in percentages, percentages can make the difference. it's pretty shocking when you have two presidential candidates but from four years ago. >> laura: yeah, i don't mean to interrupt, but i want to say that john kasich in 2016 could not persuade ohioans not to vote for trump. but somehow he comes back in 2020 and he's like a miracle

worker? forgive me, but i don't understand the idea that he is persuasive, i don't think he changes one vote and that's my view about john kasich. you're right, it will be a tough election it will be a close election. gentlemen, thank you and great to see you as always. in praise of job and his accomplishments andoe talents in tonight's dnc, while on the speech as it seemed a little bit forest, a little bit and consideror this. "wall street journal" poll fount that 50% of biden supporter said they're not voting for the former vp as much of their voting against a trump. and fact, 36% of them said they are casting the vote for biden and a number that's a lot lower than the 49% that said they were voting for hillary clinton. the 2016 election and what does that mean fairly election? how is the trump team responding? joining me now exclusively is eric trump, executive vice president of the trump organization. eric, the speeches do not seem like they were in support of

joe biden. so much as really they hit your dad. they think your dad is not empathetic, doesn'tth care, doesn't hug, doesn't h ride amtk and kind of all that combined. but what was here take away from that aspect of it? >> listen, laura, they were generic and here they are saying we would like to heal the soul of the nation and yet kamala harris is going out there and effectively g comparing it o the kkk. there is no specificity and when i talk about after the democrats find after we lost out of the thousand factories in the country and our jobs went overseas.s why don't they talk about that andy about the $150 billion that joe biden gave a run to usese weapons against her country and what about michelle obama who comes outnt and saying he's the one to rebuild the economy. it will come under biden obama, the dow jones went up 4,000 points in eight years. yet under my father and three

and a half years the dow jones has gone up 12,000 points. he's not the guy to rebuild the economy. advancing .49 gdp growth. if they don't know the first thing and joe biden can spell the economy. it's all these little fluffy messages and i think he said it in the best before. washed up republicans that god 0% of the votes back in 2016 and quite frankly, they are still bitter that my father beat them so badly. but there's no specificity to anything. our military was run down our educational system was broken. we weren't growing, our economy was an absolute mess. illegal immigration in the country with absolutely rampant and we are being used by china and used and abused by mexico, ripped off by the entire world. nato was taking us to the absolute bank and theab european union, i won't tell you what they were doing to us. i think i can go on and on, tlaura and there's none of tha. he's not a nice guy, you know,

the soul of our nation is quote unquote "broken" yet they are sparking divisiveness every single day and painting black lives matter in front of trump tower in big yellow letters every single day while the shootings are going on in the streets of new york and chicago and minneapolis and seattle. >> laura: eric, going to new york for a moment because governor cuomo and his a remarks at the dnc tonight. check it out. >> european virus infected the northeast while the white house washe still fixated on china. the failed federal government that watched in new york ambushed by their negligence and they walked new york suffer. but all the right learned absolutely nothing enter all the pain and tears, our way worked. it was beautiful. >> laura: it was beautiful. well, this is what he said about your father's response back in april. >> president brought in the army corps of engineers and they built a 2500 beds at

javits center. these were just extraordinary efforts and acts of mobilizati mobilization. m in the federal government stepped up and was a great partner. i'm the first one to say. we needed help and they were there. >> laura: we needed help and they were there. he was basically playing the phone a friend with your dad during the entire pandemic eric and now he gets up there on the virtual dnc and suddenly donald trump doesn't know how to handle covid? are you kidding me? it was pathetic! i'm sorry, all these people are giving glowing reviews of the convention. i thought that was one of the most pathetic performances by a political figure given the calamity that so many people are dealing with right now in new york and did during pandemic. sorry i'm acting as a guest on my own show but i'm pretty talked about i him. >> laura, they are, their phonies, and they sailed past

the statue of liberty and nurturing including the governor and the world was working together, but that is the phoniness of the politician and that's's why people loved my family. look at commo, harris, college i not a racist and believing this executed and all of a sudden he's a wonderful man who has done wonderful things for this country over the last 45 years. which is a question mark you can see one or the other, he did a phenomenal job from new york and you just can't change your mind midstream and the reason quite frankly cuomo is is because he killed 11,000 people in nursingn horrible horrible policies and so he has to shift the blame with somebody else. it is tragic. harris has done a greater jobs in the last three and a half years the way he turned around the country, the way he turned around the military or and turned around immigration and no longer being used by every country around the world he's done a phenomenal job and

they can't point to a single quantifiable measure that they have done better than donald trump. it's fluff andnd roses. >> laura: i want to give contests fix to fix on this and dealing with facts tonight about cuomo's handling of new york and covid. 32,445 lost their lives and that's the death rate of 167 per 100,000 residents, eric. compare that to red states that he likes toha criticize eggs, arizona, georgia, texas taken together, the states have lost 29,219 people and it's very tragic. but that is the death rate four times lower than new york i just 42 per 100,000. >> laura, the difference is that those states did not shutdown their entire cities, they don't have people leaving their states and their cities by the thousands. right, they still have functional economies whereas

new york doesn't right now. where is -- i mean, that is the difference. not onlyen did they lose less people, but the states are actually alive and not defunct. >> laura: and he has the gall to say it was beautiful or even use the word beautiful? it's beautiful that health care workers showing up every day and essential workers show up every single day and do their dying fast. that's beautiful. it's not beautiful when he has done to try to pass blame on the white house for his failures. that's what's not beautiful. and eric, so glad you joined us tonight andnd know your brother was on hannity, but hey, glad you're on tonight. thank you. and we mentioned earlier the former g.o.p. luminary speaking out against president trump and should we even bother with this? tonight, here's the sample. >> is about a person. a person decent enough, stable enough, strong enough to get our economy back on track. it donald trump is not that person.

joe biden is. >> joe barnett on the other hand has a plan that will strengthen the economy for working people andor small business owners. >> he's a really good man and he's exactly what this nation needs at this time. >> laura: is that really the new base of the democrat party? lobbyist a billionaire? but the so-called republicans were merely a warm-up act for the most insufferable of the never trumper genre. >> americas at a crossroads. it sometimes elections represent a real choice and i know that joe biden with his experience and his wisdom and his decency can bring us together to help us find that better way. they fear joe may be turning sharp left leaving them behind. i don't believe that because i know the measure of the man. it's reasonable, faithful, respectful. you know, no one pushes joe around. >> laura: didn't that remind you of the scarecrow inra "the wizard of oz"? like this? i don't even have words for

that. here to respond is texas senator ted cruz. senator, there is so much to say in so littleuc time. but your response to john kasich was mexico. >> well, look, he's been an angry denial for four years. i think what we saw tonight was the beginning of the collapse of joe biden's basement strategy. joe biden has been hiding in his basement since he won the nomination, but tonight was bernie sanders night. tonight, john kasich is promising voters don't pay attention to all the craziness on the democratic side. joe isn't that crazy. you know who didn't believe john kasich? bernie sanders did not believe john kasich because bernie sanders stood up there and said our radical socialist agenda has won and we have taken over the democratic party. and joe biden is ours. that really underscores the stakes of the selection, the democrats win, you're looking at bernie in ascension and looking at aoc, you're looking at mark

mymy words, elizabeth warren as treasury secretary. .bernie might be secretary of state and these are radicals and that's where the democratic party is and i don't think that's where the people are. >> laura: senator, the midwest, do you think of midwest states where i just spent the last week in the midwest. i'm not getting the strategy. i'm just not getting america is a horrible awful, racist country, trump is rotten. statues are coming down and we don't care. notice the rioting was not mentioned at all? the damage done by the rioting and that was not mentioned. howhe does this appeal, really appealed to john kasich ohio and pennsylvania and in places like minnesota, wisconsin. does this really appeal to stu stuff? >>? well, it doesn't and the democrats today are the parity of the rich, party of coastal elites, party of manhattan and san francisco and kamala harris and theis bold move to lock down

the boat in san francisco. that is who they are trying to appeal to, the radical left. when it comes to working men and women and when it comes to union members, when it comes to the ohio steel worker, they were nowhere to be found. the democrats don't have the message for the teamsters, the democrats don't have a message for right now. and t for mobs or police union homes and it used to be that unions would stand together bute care more about the wolk mob than we do about standing with cops or firefighters or working men and women and to go tonight without saying a meaningful worried about the riots, the police officers being murdered,ei it's an example of w the democratic party, they are getting more and more extreme and it is all because they hate donald trump and that's what they stand for. it is radical leftism and heating trump. i don't think that's the

majority vision of america. >> laura: and they go for a hollywood celebrity to be the mc tonight. i guess they hope that everybody watching is a "desperate housewives." senator cruz. that they are going to throw in with the democrats in were going to lose the free market and loose the police in the suburbs it was is a free ride to be ondo. but democrats use the night to spread and i have to get your take on senator cruz. this post office conspiracy to rig the election. watch. >> the u.s. postal service, it is central to so much of our lives. veterans count on theli post office to get their prescriptions. social security beneficiaries count on the post office to get their checks. > he's putting the lives of that of seniors and risk by trying to defund the post office.

the president may hate the post office, but he is still going to have to send to them and change of address card come january. >> laura: a note to ms. longoria and friends, stop social security checks, 2013 under president obama. senator cruz, first it was russia than it was the ukraine. ace new hoax for every time and every moment. >> this one is both bizarre, it's impressive to see the democratic talking points when they decided a message every single democrat across the country repeats word for word. at the post office, i bet not a personn speaking has not boughta stamp and they've no idea what's going on with a g post office. look, we know what this is all about. it's that the democrats are desperate to be donald trump and so they are pushing for this steam that they call universal mail in voting because they want everybody to both find mail and the reason that they wanted is

that male and voting is particularly susceptible to voter fraud and they want to enable what they've done in california which is called a voter harvesting. in texas, we had tough rules to protect against voter fraud in texas some of then history of them that we are actually adopted by democratic legislators in texas because there was a long history in south texas of voter fraud in democratic primaries where unscrupulous political operatives for example they go to a nursing home. if they go to each person and say hey, fill out your ballot in here, let me help you. just check joe biden right here and fill in the dodge. if they collect and then magically allhe the joe biden os get mailed and you know someone was was starboard enough to vote trump, well, they just have to throw that ballot in the mail and the democrats -- in the trash,ra rather. the democrats, they want to be able to enable voter fraud and that's what this whole post office nonsense is about. it is because that they are

trying to be in a position to steal the election and it's about their hatred for donald trump. >> laura: senator cruz really quickly, i believe that there is a very cynical undercurrent involved in all of this. that almost they want to see a building movement towards more civil unrest. if things don't go their way, because then they say they took it from the mailboxes, you stole the mailboxes. it seems like -- i find this to be very dangerous tactic. they are playing with fire here with these types of lives. are you worried about that, real quick? >> you're exactly right and we have seen whether it's representative presley h or earlier, maxine waters urged people to engage in civil unrest, essentially encouraging the rioters. you had in minneapolis when antifa, when the mobs were

firebombing stores and police cars. you had the attorney general of minnesota holding out the and tina havantifahand bucket, the democratic party, when given a choice, between the safety and the security of the men and women in this country versus the radical mob, they said we side s with the mob. i've got to say, i feel for the residents of places like seattle and portland where the mob has taken over and the democratic politicians have said to heck with you to the men and women they're responsible toey protec. because we are not willing to stand up to the radicals who are burning our cities down. that is sad for the democratic party and that's where they're listening to right now. >> laura: senator, thank you for joining us tonight late on "the ingraham angle." we mention this, the speakers of the virtual dnc tonight, they all failed to mention one of the biggest threats facing our

country right now. and some of our most beautiful cities. the extreme levels of violence, criminality, mayhem, just destroying neighborhoods. i thought last weekend in minneapolis. the president wentha there today and met withol business owners o have their entire lives destroyed. minorities, people from all walks of life is saying that their lives arepe destroyed. these cities are run by democrats and they've been run by democrats for decades. things are getting more depraved and more dangerous by the day. so watch this out tonight it's like it never happened. it's unbelievable. now portland last night, peaceful protesters, they chased a truck driver after he crashed. they dragged him into the street and they did this. i have to warn you, i've only been, able to watch this video for about five seconds it's the shocking. watch. >> back up, bro, sit down. and sit down. and sit the [bleep] down.

[bleep]. hey, bro, leave it. [bleep]. [bleep]. leap [bleep]. [bleep]. >> laura: i get enraged like, white, black, whatever your skin color nobody should be treated that way. it shocks the conscience and not even mentioned. marching down to the minneapolis police federation president's house and that's where an actual candidate for the minnesota house endorsed by the democrat governor, tim walz, one of the worst governors in the country by the way and ilhan omar who won her primary last week. said this. >> that's a lot up [bleep]. mother [bleep] and peace.

racist mother [bleep]. back down [bleep]. i don't care nothing, slipped up [bleep]. take that and skin your [bleep]! >> were coming for everything that you [bleep] took from us. we want were coming for everything that you took from us ci believe he said. there's a bunch of teenage girls out front and i guess they are a big threat. joining us now is victor davis hanson, sara carter, host of the sara carter podcast and also convince allison with us author of the vote the macbook of "the iron triangle." why should we expect the media to coveria this? they don't watch fox and they're not on certain websites, if they arees not on twitter and followg the right people, they would not have even known that any of this hasy been happening. they would not know what it all

and what iou thought in east lag street last week because nobodye is showing it and nobody'swi talking to the minority business people. so, we are operating in a information deficit that unless hyou watch the show or listen to sarah, vince's great book, you're never going to know about it. that's how bad it is right now. >> yeah, i think people are looking about it because it's ubiquitous, in their own lives and they see it when they drive around they see it in new york and in the suburbs and what this unity messages. think about it, they are saying that we want unity and the subtext about that is we don't have anybody trying to burn the opolice alive when we are there and we don't want to loot the million dollar mile and destroy the seattle or new york because we are going to tell them to stop because they are messages what we represent. they can get it through us and there will be no need to end in a weird way, they are holding the nation hostage.

because the subtext is that this is all donald trump's disunity but it's not and they lifted up and they can stop it if they get what they want. if that's the bargain that the election. t the other thing is, they're talking about the april may issues in the time warp and i felt like they were back in may. if george floyd has never mentioned in the demonstrations anymore and this is gone way beyond him. where in the ultimate a phase of the revolution and this is about destruction and antifa, anarchy, they still talk about george floyd. and they still talk about the virus while the virus is here, but for 30 days, daily, it's gone down into the very fluid situation and its changing and the lockdown, the lockdown is defined by one point now. 50 million children are suffering. if some dramatically sell because they can't go to school and there's less at risk of an facing influenza. we can take care of teachers and that's the issue. that's a losing issue for them and they don't understand that

this is august and trumps polls are going up because they are talking about things in april and may and they have no solutions or alternate policies. at the final thing is, whatever this and i have empathy for them with a virtual world we live in, but this is a bad infomercial. he doesn't work and i hope the republicans can find some way to etweak it or get actual light talking in interviews orua candidates. you know, impromptu. >> laura: werein going to get into this with a recommended that aspect of it. yeah, forgot to get into the other two guests. it vince, over to you. i think of what's happened to the poorest neighborhoods in the united states. okay, the poorest neighborhoods ravaged by crime, lockdowns are terrible for the most at risk kids. victor said, don't school is terrible for the most at risk kids. that's like none of it is happening and it's donald trump is a bad man, vince. quick. >> i understood the

democratic party for a very long time and my father told me a story about how they use the ku klux klan when ther he was ay young man. when he was trying to vote they try to kill them. at the democratic party has always tried to do that for their whole life, violence, murder, set assassination. if they don't care about the people, they care about power. they will kill anybody to get it. as of this violence is something that they've always done and they're used to it and they will always do it and i hope america will wake up and understand that they will not have freedom until the democrats are gone. >> laura: president trump was inin minneapolis in mankato, minnesota, and in minneapolis he met with the victims of the riots. watch. >> democrat-controlled cities have shown the democrat client and what they plan for america. minneapolis, 700 buildings were burned and damaged were

destroyed costing morees than $1 billion. just incredible people, their businesses were burned down,er gone. they don't know what they're going to do but they're going to try helping them to get rebuilt. >> laura: sarah, contrast that with biden, under the basement doing little infomercials that are so heavily edited that you wonder what the outtakes look like. kamala harris is not mentioning the shocking violence that we are seeing. >> no, their gas lighting everybody and i call it the virtual gas lighting convention day one with the democratic national party. this is how they operate and this is such a radical agenda, laura. if bernie may not have won the nomination, but his radical agenda did. n he did it through biden with their manifesto that they signed in early july. for the american people, particularly for people in urban communities like we see come up with president trump speaking directly to business owners and

cities that have now been just emaciated. the cas the chaos that has beenn in the failure of democratic leadership to unify the cities to protect their citizens, to basically -- they want to defund the police instead of protecting the businesses in their community and what we are seeing now is that exacerbation of what's happened in united states. i think thatit the voters realie this and i think they understand it. president trump, thend campaign, after agree with eric trump here and i have to agree with senator cruz. they have to reach the american people and show them what that's radical agenda and it will do. it will destroy the inner cities and racing with the democrats and we seen what they've done there and they'll spread across the country like wildfire. we can't afford for this country to be more divided and come november there will be one choice c and it will be you kno, a marxist agenda, progressive

agenda that is practical to back up radical. of principles that the nation will stand on end that is what the american people are voting for. nationa: we won't be a of snitches on each other and we won't be snitching onti each otr and we won't be condemning the country at every turn that we have given so much to each other the world to come out invention. i mean, it's like america as we know her doesn't even exist at all in the way that we are painting her. all night long, victor, get into what npr reported on which is the wall street opening of its wallets to biden and harris. deep-pocketedar donors in the halls of finance are giving more money to democrats than republicans. according to the center of responsive politics, biden is a known commodity on wall street and is widely seen at the more centrist, acceptable, alternative, more liberal democrats who ran for president.

while, i have one word to say to that. victor. i want you to weigh in on the other side which is china. how much is it that china wants joe biden to win and wall street makes an enormous amount of money in china and keeping wages low here? >> come rel, remember what they did and biden looked like he was going to get back with it michael bloomberg because he was so pro-chinese business person . it looked like sanders might come in and they resurrected biden. that was one of the issues and most concerned and they did it in 2016 and they outraised and outspent and i don't think it will matter. i don't think the people on their side -- i want to say one thing very quickly. i agree that michelle obama delivered a eloquent speech and it was cryptic but elegant but completely disingenuous and when she said we go high her husband just hijacked a funeral for john lewis. what did he do?

he brought things and like the filibuster and puerto rican stayed put and bull connor and her husband and that administration an and weaponizee cia. they destroyed the political opponent, the president say, as you're saying that we have a federal prosecutor who is already indicted and confessions that a employee of the administration tried to e a road that the sanctity of the court. that they go high, does the most corrupt administration and they dtried to destroy the campaign and transition. we don't of the full extent of it and that's hard toat tank. yeah. >> laura: yeah, this is three hours of radio every day because there is a lot of lies that day and night presentation. just really quickly, when they go low, she's like, well we go low and when we go low, we go

pfizer. i was thinking we go to the fisa court. i mean, this is just ridiculous. this has been the most hateful people on the left who have vilified from from day one and thee victors write giving style points to michelle obama tonight is not exactly, you know, difficult to do but difficult to do is rattle off what he just did it and educate the american public. vince, real quick. >> this is what they've done to america, joe biden is proud of what he did to black america and worst schools, cities on fire. families has been destroyed. if you're looking at an american cold war right now. where you see conservatism and you see the communists on the other side. conservatism wins and they are deflecting, no, it's them. we're watching right now for a long time the contest between who is right and who is wrong. we are right, we don't see us rioting, and neighborhoods into scoring our schools and property shooting and killing one i ano

another. as evil always does. if you want to understand who is right, you look at us and because kamala harris and joe biden, it is coming to a city near you and it's coming to your city and this is what they're going to do it to america. >> laura: that council candidates in minneapolis said that we are coming to the suburbs. he made it clear and by the way he decided to take his message right to a small neighborhood. so, they aim to move into the suburbs that's for sure. a panel, great to see all of you tonight and thank you so much. the theme again for the dnc is unitinghe america. it sounds so nice until you realize that what they're doing is bringing people together and they're not interested in speaking of common ground, there's no way. sure as heck not reaching across the aisle and obama never did. so what does it mean? here to tell us, raymond arroyo, dinesh d'souza, conservative author, filmmaker. what do democrats want to do in

uniting america against something or for something? >> yeah, they have a politics of unity, but it also includes a concealed disunity. they have a politics of inclusion but not everybody is included. so, they don't make any effort to find genuine middle ground either in policy or in rhetoric. i mean if they wanted to find middle ground in rhetoric for example they would say things like, well, we know that there's all these rights going on in the streets and of course we don't approve of that, and we support line order, but in this particular case, you know, in other words attempt to address the reality in front of us. instead what they are doing is trying to create you could almost call it a alternative reality. a alternative universe t to gets to live in it. all the forces are unified against us.

against trump and against people who support trump and notice there's no effort to reach out to them. noticeth there's no effort to fd a middle ground with them. an effort to stigmatize and demonize and all the talk of unity cannot hide the fact that these are actually very vitriolic and hateful people. >> laura: they hate most people in middle america and they hate most people in the suburbs and hate the fact that they drive big cars, have big families, don't want to go to church on sunday but you can go out and protest and bring things down a problem. raymond, you noticed something in the buildup like the early red carpets at the oscars and eva longoria there. the early red carpet and you notice it's messaging to radicals let's watch. >> the insulated correct is probably not going to get it done. orbawe have god to have to turne system upside down. >> communities from boston, portland, everywhere, rising up. >> you have the nerve to build a wall. america, if you don't get your

act't together, you can and you may as well go to hell. >> laura: raymond. >> laura, these where the caucus meetings before the dnc. tonight, i have to tell you as i watch this i kept thinking this is like a model in mda telephone after they fired jerry lewis. remember, the pretaped segments and they raise no money and what we saw tonight and this was like a string of those state of the union response videos that nobody has paid attention to. it's very hard to watch and it's a dark modeling vision of america. really promoting fear, politicizing death, and it's frightening evening despite michelle obama and her speech and bernie, you know, energetic talk there. between the cracks of this, the imaging, the pictures were of a very dark and dreary america. with no solutions offered.

i would then joe biden is a decent guy. >> laura: no, joe biden rides amtrak and is nice to the engineers on amtrak which is lovely, i love that. but that does not mean you have the confidence and competency to be the president of the united states, dinesh u peered hopefully, dinesh, joe biden was going to do a little bit of interview intersectiona. a watch. >> what you think the next thing we have to do? >> it's a big uprising but then it settled down. we can't let things settle down. >> i think people are ready we just got to keepep pushing. we can't let out. >> laura: that's a lot of substance there, dinesh. keep pushing. can't let up. what? what does that mean? >> this is reminiscent of the movie being there. theater seller. don't mean to trespass into

raymond's and you are as follow what it territory, but it's a complete bromide that meant absolutely nothing but the people around him respond with thunderous applause. admiring his genius and that's what we have with biden, embarrassing spectacles but for the rest of us it's more likely the effort has no close and no amount of declaration can conflict conceal that fact. >> laura: it was going down as it went down and watch the youtube numbers and what are your thoughts on how this n will play? >> look, the audience does not want to be bored and frightened out of its mind. okay, this is not what we need in the midst of covid and that's what the democratic and 80 tonight offered up. weco will see what tomorrow hols but the most interesting thing to me ises that they are tryingo depict and frame joe biden as a decent man, a good man, moral man. decent, respectful, normal man but this is the guy who did wondered your view today. did it with cardi b. this be what we got it, we got it, let me play it.

>> joe biden is a decent man with a long history of public survey public survey. >> he will bring decency and honor back to the white house. >> laura: and then, then he was chatting with this woman, raymond. >> oh, boy. >> you know what i'm saying? i felt like his mouth gets them in trouble so much. >> the rest of the world look to us and why do they look to us? not because we are so powerful, but the power of our example. it look what they are seeing now with the t president. >spewing bicycling like this to the camera, he should really consider this as an example. >> i love the edits and i like the four edits in one answer. >> laura: cardi b, he's making a good point because he's very empowering for young girls with her latest video. ♪

>> laura: that's a very empowering raymond, what does that meetingng with cardi b? >> laura, when the world falls down biden goes high. but i can't describe to you the title of cardi b's song and so filthy and vile. the opening of the video reads "there are some whores in this house." it's the filthiest video, and just the vain quest for african-american votes and young voters, he's attacking himself to someone who definitely does go low, and middle leg. probably 1 of the purveyors of the debased cultures, if iam did nae couple people she would be on the list of that's amazing that a presidential candidate would elevate cardi b like this. >> laura: it's like old people

trying to be cool, like interacting. setting aside her filthy lyrics and that's what she does and that her thing and how she makes money off of it. but you have permission to smother me with a pillow if i, you know, and age 73 and trying to interview rappers. it won't work, whoever is popular at that time. butbu at justice actuates, dine, the fact that he is so -- i'm sorry, seemingly out of it. he can handle that. >> i literally predict before the convention, biden will be in the sense guided off the stage of kamala harris replacing him and giving people a clear idea that this was basically a trumpetrumperror rates. what makes it fascinating as they left has been going around the country yanking down george washington statues

because the man owned. as kamala harris, a product of identity politics from a jamaican slave owner who owned five plantations in more than 200. at thehe very least, the stunnig irony here that the democrats will have to have some exciting to go. >> laura:e gentleman, great to see you both tonight. don't take the pillow smothering thing literally, okay? before we go, we have to play this moment after bernie sanders was done explaining how his radical agenda is taking over the democrat party. there was a big pause for applause and that's when things got a little bit off. >> thank you. [cheers and applause] >> laura: i mean, it's hard to do the virtual thing but you have to find laughter wherever you can find it. that was one of the moments for mme tonight.

i'm sorry,y, shannon bream and e fox news at night team have all the important developments and the analysis and they will take it from here. it will be back tomorrow night. a speciale time right after the special hour of a coverage. see you tomorrow night. ♪ shannon: shocking violence in democratic-controlled city says the coronavirus pandemic wreaks havoc on lives and livelihoods and against that backdrop democratic party kicks off its visible convention like nothing we have seen before. gone are the crowds, and confetti, placed by police brutality, senate races and inflaming donald trump's policies. bernie sanders and former first lady michelle obama among the speakers on night one with a handful of 1-time republicans joining their ranks.
