taken for granted. we are seeing that our differences are precious and our similarities intimate. we have shown that the heart of this nation still beats with kindness and courage. that is the soul of america joe biden is fighting for now. after our son beau died of cancer, i wondered if i would ever smile or feel joy again. it was summer, but there was no warmth left for me. four days after bo's funeral, i watched joe shave and put on his suit. i watch him steal himself in the mirror, take a breath, put his shoulderss back, and walk out into a world empty of our son. he went back to work.

that's just who he is. there are times when i couldn't imagine how he did it. how he put 1 foot in front of the other and kept going. but i always understood why he did it. for the daughter who convinces her mom to finally get a breast cancer screening and misses work to drive her to the clinic. for the community college student who has faced homelessness and survived abuse, but finds the grit to finish her degree and make a good life for her kids. for the little boy who is is serving as a marine in a rack and put on a brave face in the video call and doesn't the only thing hewants for his s be with her. for all these people joe gives his personal number two.

at rope lines and events. the ones he talks to four hours after dinner, helping them smile through their loss, letting them know that they aren't alone. he does it for you. joe's purpose has always driven him to work. his strength of will isth unstoppable. and his faith is unshakable. because it's not in politicians or political parties or even in himself. it's in the providence of god. his faith is in you. in us. yes, so many classrooms are quiet right now. the playgrounds are still. but if you listen closely, you can hear the sparks of change in the air. across this country, educators,

parents, first responders, americans all walks of life are putting their shoulders back, fighting for each other. we haven't given up. we just need leadership worthy of our nation, worthy of you. honest leadership to bring us back together, to recover from this pandemic, and to prepare for whatever else is next. leadership to reimagine what our nation will be. that is joe. he and kamala will work as hard as you do every day to make this nation better. and if i have the honor of serving as your first lady, i will f too. and with joe as president, these classrooms will ring out with laughter and possibility once again. the burdens we carry are heavy.

and we need someone with strong shoulders. i know that if we entrust this nation to joe, he will do for your family what he did for hoursur. bring us together and make us whole. carry us forward in our time of need. keep the promise of america for all of us. speak a great job. i love you... >> great job. i love you. hey, everyone. i'm joe biden's husband. you can see why she is the love of my life, the rock of the family. hnever gets much credit. she is the strongest person i know. she's a backbone like a ramrod. nothing stops when she sets her mind to do it to get something right. for all of you out there across the country, just think of your

favorite educator who gave you the confidence to believe in yourself. that is the kind of first lady, lady, lady, lady, this joe biden will be. >> go to joebiden.com and join our campaign. >> thank you for watching. we'll see you soon. thank you. >> martha: we'll seel him on thursday night when he accepts the nomination.he you heard earlier that when he got the delegate vote, went over the top, that he was invited to speak t on thursday night. it's hard to imagine a more powerful advocate for joe biden then his wife jill biden. that was a very strong speech. we finally got to the point in this process where there wasn't some things. she started out kind of a little bit downbeat in terms of everything that's going on, but she had a hopeful message that i think we've been waiting to hear over the past couple of days. >> bret: go to our panel.

chris wallace, obviously jill biden hit those marks. the dismount didn't seem to translate. it was at little awkward when joe biden came in and said i'm joe biden's husband. i think that's what he said. i think that jill biden made the case in the classroom as a teacher and the concern about covid they seem to be going through this night. >> i thought he said president too. he shouldn't be measuring the curtains in the oval office quite yet. i think tonight there was a theme here. in the theme was a return to normalcy, if you will. both in a political sense and a personal. with jayla biden, she was basically saying that joe biden grew up in middle-class circumstances, had tragedy in his life. shoulderinsoldiering through it. he'll restore the values that you treasure, americans

treasure, that he will restore them. you also heard it in the -- started last night with bernie sanders who said a lot of the things that donald trump has done, he called it authoritarianism, but they are not t normal. you heard from michelle obama last night about chaos. you heard from bill clinton tonight aboutab chaos. and i think that if you are looking for bold new ideas, you aren't going to get them from joe biden. they aren't offering them. i think almost the emotional centerpiece was that tributes to john mccain in the j sense that after these four years, hungry to go back the old way. sounds odd because we always talk about the new chapter, go back to the old way, reach back across the aisle and work back together and i think that's what you heard tonight. >> bret: it may have been hard to hear. he might've been saying jill biden's husband, but it wasti garbled.

just extrapolating there. brit, to kris' point, the biden camp seems to be using 47 years of time in washington as an asset, saying relationships matter, john mccain, colin powell, bernie sanders saying that all this time matters because of the relationships. but it is not the bold big change that progresses have been calling for like aoc tonight. >> no, it's not. but i think the speech tonight by jill biden was tremendously effective in the sense that it didn't have a hard angry edge that we heard last night to considerably extend from michelle obama. and she highlighted things about jill biden's character and temperament that were touched on by others which are real and members of both parties have recognized in him a long time. he's a very decent guy. he is a very nice guy. he's not an unforgiving guy. the strength that he showed in recovering from the tragedies

that he's had in his life is a meaningful quality and the ability that he has to deal with others, to make friends, to make business with political adversaries is a viable quality as well and i think that came through in her and she came across as very likable tonight. >> martha: there is that moment, dana, that's been talked about this entire primary process where you aren't sure that joe biden is going to stick the landing. she was super confident and she pulled off that big speech hitting the marks where the camera turns in everything. did he say this, did he say that? the hardest parts of that process lie ahead for him, dana. >> i do think that if you had been in your home for several months and f you been trying to work from home and you are trying to do birthdays, anniversaries, weddings on zoom, it's not always perfect. he does refer to himself as jill

biden's husband just as it might'vesounded a little gari also think there's a lot of love between the two of them and he had tears in his eyes and she is a self-described introvert. talks about how hard it's been, to overcome the shyness. i think it was really driven by the level of the husband and she is a different type of person. she worked at the community college of northern virginia. she said if she were to become first lady, she would work those as well. >> bret: the most powerful night for you? >> you have to add them up. right from the start you had a number of women led by sally yates, the former deputy ag, but you have to go through and have to remember michelle obama last night, cindy mccain's voice

speaking so clearly.nd and then you get to jill biden. the refrain is pretty clear. they are speaking to american women. they are speaking in terms of understanding what those women are goingg through. i think that's why she walked into the high school classroom and said that this room is qui quiet. i think lots of families are concerned that their kids aren't going back to school, bret. she speaking in a very emotional level speaking to those women. joe biden is the kind of person you can relate to, you can trust. that he is someone who is not only acting in terms of the political operation in trying to win, but somebody who has faith and when their son beau died, she was amazed to watch him shave. that was pretty good. that she watched him shave and put 1 foot in another and stepped back into the world. she said, step back into the

world to work for moms, single moms, families. that's pretty effective. i didn't think she was flawless and the delivery. looked like an amateur. but it was an amateur who was authentic and that counted. >> i thought she was pretty good. when she talked about how you make a broken family whole, that sort of a metaphor for what everyone is going through right now. i think the setting was perfect in her being so natural in a school setting. i thought that was a pretty strong finish. >> bret: to brit's point earlier, a focus for this party. making sure that i translate, can handle that better. we will see what tomorrow goes. that is kamala harris' big night. this has been night to go. we will bring you night three and night four. i'm back tomorrow at 6:00 eastern. >> martha: i'm back 7:00 p.m. eastern.

we are both back tonight tomorrow 7:00 p.m. eastern. the "the ingraham angle" is up next. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight as david two of the democratic convention has just come to a merciful end. we got marks from everyone aoc, joe biden, stacy abrams, other featured guest will dissect in a moment. under an hour ago, joe biden officially clinched the nomination for a celebration it was right for, i don't know, "saturday night live"? we break down what you might miss with ben shapiro, mike huckabee, raymond arroyo, and a lot more. also, her ad went viral for good reason. tonight, republican kimberly clay sik is here exclusively to tell us why she thinks she made baltimore an example to other democrat run cities. but first, democrats doing

everything in their power to avoid telling you what the real plans are if the country actually picked joe biden. they trotted out old familiar faces in a desperate attempt to assure midwest voters that biden will govern as a moderate. after watching tonight's speakers line up, every american should be alarmed. it was a venerable hughes who of failure. each of whom has done immense damage to our country. let's start with this blast from the path. >> when ias ran for president in 1976, joe biden was my most effective supporter in the senate. determine not only our vision, but that's what we need. >> laura: god bless him but are democrats trying to hearken back to the days of double digit unemployment, inflation, and jimmy carter's malaise?

what does that say about their platform today? carter's big as a college meant was getting ronald reagan elected president. tonight's lineup was a time warp amalgam. it's what would've looked like if both parties held a joint convention in, let's say, 2004. first up, john kerry is the reporting for duty. >> for years in the obama america deserves a president who is looked up to, not laughed at. >> laura: john kerry is bestin known for windsurfing, sending pallets of cash to behind the backsof the presidene state department. but sure, he really cares about americans. wait, there is one more. another night, another former republican.

>> i support joe biden. he will restore americans leaderships and moral authority. a president with america's strongest win. we lead both by the power of example. >> laura: his endorsing biden is the most unshocking thing to happen in the last year. he backed obama twice and hillary in 2016. he is a nice man, a patriot, obviously. but colin powell talking about the example of a our power, really? the dems trot out the master mind behind a iraq?is this how joe's foreign y will be shaped? the race of the bottom didn't end there.

former acting attorney general sally yates also made an appearance. >> i was fired for refusing to defend president trump shameful and unlawful muslim travel ban. that was the start of the relentless attacks on the democratic institutions and countless dedicated public servants. >> laura: weight, attacks on our democratic institutions? this is the woman president trump fired for putting open borders above the american people. she helped weaponize the doj against the trump campaign. last but not least was bill clinton who uttered one ofa the least aware lines of the night. and that's saying something. >> the oval office should be a command center instead of a storm set or where only chaos. >> laura: i don't think you should ever talk about the

oval office. the menn who turned the oval office into a mini playboy mansion shouldn't be lecturing americans what it should symbolize. he forever disgraced the office of the presidency with his sleazy political arrangements that continued after he left thi white house. just today, a new pick was revealed showing bill clinton getting a massage from one of jeffrey epstein's accusers. so i ask, a are these really the luminaries that democrats think best represent their party? the ones you americans want close to power again? if so, then the choice in november should be an easy one. but we want to go back to the days of economic calamity, malaise, and endless wars? or do we want to continue the unprecedented prosperity and economic renewal ofs, the trump era? here with reaction is

mike huckabee, former 2016 g.o.p. candidate, also with me is ben shapiro, editor in chief of the daily wire and author of "how to destroy america in three easy steps." the democrats, it was kind of like an old home week. the focus group of the midwest is terrified of aoc and the gang, terrified of the riots and the looting, so they wanted to bring back the year 2004 or so or go back since 1978 to reassure americans, explain. >> if america is electing somebody to be nice, they would elect joe biden. they would elect a better biden to be on the ballot. this is not what it's about. this is about very serious policies that determine the future of our country. if you like the idea of open borders, more statism, government control of your

lives, abortion funded by the taxpayer, if you like us would be happy and keep putting back in the hands of politicians, the democrats would be your choice. if you like us surrendering to iran and delivering pallets of cash, we'd be a whole lot better off in this country, if you let mobs run freely in the country and beat this not out of innocent people driving through a street, the democrats are your choice. t if you think america deserves better than that, and build an economy that's based on unabashed capitalism, if you think the values of this country should value every single human being, if you think we should control our borders and the other things, president trump should be reelected in a landslide and i don't understand that's what the american people will be choosing on, not the

packets of videos, but whether or not this country moves to the far, far left with the green new deal in this nonsense or whether we have some sanity in our policies. >> laura: i mentioned how bill clinton had one of the least aware messages of the night. this one may match it. elizabeth warren without a hint of irony participating in the dnc's native american caucus? >> supporting the democrats so we can all continue our work for indian country is more important now than ever. >> you have always truly been an incredible friend. more than kind in terms of your work with me and with indian country. we all know where your heart is at. >> laura: but do we know>> where that legacy dna... you know, that experiment has been? what was that alll about? >> a lot of high cheekbones going on.

very exciting stuff. we know the powwow child aficionado was the person to bring into that particular convention. bizarre n night for the democra. joe biden was joe biden was a good expositor for her virtues but all they had tonight was a old retread hypocrites. hearing bill clinton talk about the various uses of the overall office while he was nailing interns. it's weird to hear that from the me too party. weird seeing john kerry being jtrotted out the same week that you speak between israel and the uae,suda. trot out the secretary of state john kerry, the worst secretary of state of my life. trotting out sally gates who literally described herself astonished that barack obama knew about the developments in the michael flynn case before

she did and that james comey was not conveying it was a very, very strangeeven. if this is the best democrat had going all the way back to jimmy carter, it doesn't really recommend a lot. all it says is they are just really trying to avoid theti implication that aoc is thesh rising star. she hit every single term of my crazy socialist bingo card in a minute. >> laura: the biggest threat to america's security, china, was referenced so quickly, i could barely e even get what it was. a bit ridiculous. trump helping china? it's absurd. that in and of itself, the fact they did not address china head on tonight in their big foreign policy guru night, i think that told you everything you needed to know about joe biden and why china wants him to become president so badly. >> i think that's why john

ratcliffe the director of national intelligence said is the biggest threat to the election is china, not russia this time. nthe reason why joe biden and te democrats aren't pushing against china is let's face it, joe has issues there, taking hunter over there with him, the billion and a half dollar deal that hunter got with china. i the established when politicians, there are some republicans in this too. let's not act like the republicans are pure because a lot of them are also beholden to china, the multinational corporations that made al bunch of money losing and costing americans their jobs and their futures so that china could get rich and a handful of corporate snobs can get rich. president trump has had the guts to stand up for america and americans and that's why they have not been talking about china, but president trump will. he needs to. thank god he is because somebody is finally standing up for the united states of america.

>> laura: the obama administration, god help us of that ever happens, going to list all the tariffs, not get anything in return. gentlemen, thanks so much. >> we've shown that the heart of this nation still beats with kindness and courage. that's the soul of america joe biden is fighting for now. because it's not politicians or political parties, it's in the providence of god. his faith is in you. in us. >> laura: faith is in you? they are trying hard to sell it. but does it work? is joe biden really the faith and family values candidate? when it comes to faith, joe biden claims to be apex and catholic but at the same time he is an ardent abortion supporter. and there is the claim from joe biden's ex-husband the

marriage didn't chill and an when she found out she was having an affair with then senator joe biden. joining me is mercedes schlapp and raymond arroyo, fox news contributor. they were really selling this tonight. faith, family, country. you wanted to hear lee greenwood playing in the background. >> they can't! >> laura: are people actually bgoing to buy this given joe biden's position on key issues, and that's all that really matters? >> i think they really are trying toar sell this joe the gd guy type of narrative. let me tell you something. they might've forgotten that.ra the democrats took god out of their platform not too long ago. so let's remember that when it comes to joe biden. he has been one that has flip-flopped on so many issues. he supported the haida movement

at one point and th abandoned the haid he's become extreme on the issue especially allowing her late term abortions. and it's all because he's in the pockets of planned parenthood, the largest abortion provider. as a catholic and someone who's very strong, pro-life in my convictions, you need to stand for life and that something that i've always admired president trump because he has been the most pro-life president that we have seen in our lifetime. he has taken very bold steps in ensuring we protect the unborn and i remember, i was there in the oval office when he signed that letter to congress saying will veto any legislation that wouldn't include pro-life revisions. i think there is a stark contrast here and i think people have to remember that even kamala harris went after the

knights of columbus and her anticatholic bigotry needs to bl exposed. e >> laura: here's how the dnc tried to paint biden as a champion for women. >> joe biden has been fighting women his entire career. as senator, he signed the violence against women act and as president he will restore funding for planned parenthood. he will cosign roe v. wade and make reducing maternal materiallmortalityespecially foa top priority. >> laura: it's amazing talking about infant mortality in the same as support for planneds parenthood to. >> joe biden has always try to have it both ways here. look, he says that it's not the ten commandments, it's theol culture that i'm holding onto. this is why bishops have denied him communion. you can as a catholic go out and continuously defy church

teachings as something as basic as life, and this is a candida candidate, he wants to do planned parenthood fully, fund it, wants to codify roe v. wade as you heard from the lady there. and look, the little sisters of the poor, claims he loves the nuns but he's about that he would take the little sisters to court to get them to pass contraceptives onto the employees. it's not his personal piety. he may even be more personally pious then president trump. that's not why americans vote for a candidate. you vote because they are following a moral code that you agree with, not that theyd personally hold something and vote or legislate in an entirely different direction and that sort of what's happening here. >> laura: mercedeshe, they didn't really talk for the second night in a row much policy at all. it's just like hide the ball, hide the policy.

i guess people are somehow reassured. you put all these old homies out here. the hometown team, you think we are going to be reassured after iran and syria. they couldn't really talk poli policy. instead they resorted to a string of bromides. let's share them. >> i know joe biden cares about the struggles. that's why i trust him. >> he has the heart and the compassion for this moment. >> we need a president who will restore the soul of america. we need joe biden. >> laura: mercedes, it's again orange man bad. like all the posters in the protest? that's all it is. take away the trappings, the bad music and everything, that's it.

joe biden nice and orange man bad. >> i feel like i'm in kindergarten class. can we share a chair and be kind? what the american people are not seeing is the fact that their policies are detrimental for the country. in fact, they are dangerous. we have the biden record. the mere fact they said he could go in the situation room and make good decisions is just crazy.si because it wasn't the situation room where he was wrong on usama bin laden. he has made these decisions time and time again where he was in favor of the iranian nuclear deal which of course was supporting a country that supports terrorism. and so, it has been one bad policy decision after another. i always remember the red line in syria where they didn't act and t the syrian civil war only got worse. this is what needs to be exposed. it's what robert gates said

joe biden couldn't be trusted with any of our foreign policy decision. he's made the decision time and time again. to bring out secretary john kerry to even defend him, they obviously didn't tell the whole story to the american people. >> laura: raymond, stylistically at the very end, the big reveal was for joe biden to walk into the classroom. your take on that moment? >> laura, this felt like one of those saturday morning infomercial blocks. you are waiting for sally struthers to come out and say, won't you help these democrats? you had carter, you had kerry, you had mccain. inauspicious group to be with. this is an empathy play. they want you to think that joe biden is a nice guy. and now with jill's ex-husband questioning when they might have met with the conditions of their meeting and possible affair, all

of this is thrown up in the air. i think that's going to have to be t scrutinized in the days ahd as donald trump's relationships in regards, i think you have to be fair here. but on the hole? this is an empathy play. that's not policy and i'm not sure that's what americans are looking for rightt now. >> laura: did he say lady, lady, lady? >> sound like a song! "lady in red." >> laura: great to see you tonight. we've gone through what the democrats wanted you to hear tonight but the big news is what didn't they mention? there wasn't a piece about the s&p 500 closing in at a recordy high today, erasing all the losses from the covid lockdown. no one mentioned the housing market is on fire. housing jumped a whopping 22.6%

last month which was above expectations. there wasn't a word about the skyrocketing amount of murders in democrat-controlled cities. murders are up 29.1% in new york city over last year. schumer didn't mention that. chicago has seen their homicide spike 35% and murders shot up 35% where they are supposed to have a big convention in d.c. joining me now, it's time for cofounder, real clear politics raheem kassam. it seems like to me it seems like a mistake for democrats not even acknowledge passing overtaking cities combined with the antifa and blm activists who

got mixed up in all of this rioting and antipolice stuff that's coming on. no mention at all. is it a mistake? >> i think it might be. they aren't going to talk about the stock market or housing, but the way on the other side of it they have really driven social justice, the systemic racism angle, and this push for equity and inequality and all of that, but i do inc. they run the risk of voters tuning in, especially not hard-core democrats, but independents and moderates, and having this disconnect of what they are seeing on the television at night during the democratic convention and what they have been seeing online and television during the day. it's been a really awful bloody summer of violence and looting. we seen what's going on in portland and these other places. without even acknowledging or even a passing word to denounce

violence or looting, i think that you run a risk and that's obviously a message that president trump and the republicans are going to pushli very hard, law and order. it'll be a stark contrast. >> laura: we heard from alexandria ocasio-cortez, a big nomination of bernie sanders. she got 60 seconds. but if you are a lobbyist in the biden administration, who would youu think is going to have more influence? aoc or john kasich and colin powell? >> that really depends and that really depends on who the lobbyist wants to grease that day, that's who will have the most power in a joe biden administration. i want to come back to something that's been mentioned across so far but it just strikes me that when we look at trying to win this election, that's what we are trying to look for, signs where thef democrats can actualy

win the election, you hear so much emotion today. some of it even genuine. but you didn't hear much loved office, much in terms of policy, nothing much in terms of substance. certainly you didn't see, laura -- you look at the rejects lined up whether it is john kasich, sally yates being fired opposing something the president of the united states was elected to do just very recently after she decided it was on her to stop it from happening. of course, what a time to put bill clinton up on stage. for me when you look at all those three things and you see they are just purely focusing on the emotive side of things, that's a misjudgment. it's a dangerous misjudgment by the democrat party. they've got to look at consultants of people running their campaigns again because they just don't get it, they don't understand this country wants to see action right now.

there are three words we care about, it's action, action, action. the rnc is not going to learn lessons from this, is to get away from this telethon style format and look to a more action based format. >> laura: i want to talk to you about that, given that the polls are tightening across most of the country right now. what can the republicans learn given what we've seen with the mechanics of how this is going as a virtual convention? it's my understanding that the trump campaign, at least they haven't told us, where exactly the president is going to be giving his address from. at the white house, but where? is it at cortical, isn't inside? maybe there's too much fluidity about what the trump campaign has planned next week? i'm a little concerned about that. but somehow this stitch it together resume video type stuff gets really old really fast.

>> i it does. it's tough. both parties are operating under extraordinary circumstances. the democrats are technically prettyre good at this stuff. they've got the backing of hollywood and they can make these slick productions and even with all of their wizardry, it still comes off as synthetic and forest. i want to say one more thing and you talk about this last time, laura. one of the reasons we are seeing democrats so heavy on the anti-trump stuff i is that's what's animating their base. you've got two-thirds or three quarters of the base saying they turned up to defeat donald trump instead of joe biden. that's the dynamic they are playing on and is the question is not going to be enough if there is no policy, no vision to go along with it. it didn't work for democrats in 2004 when they tried to down george w. bush. didn't work for republicans in 2012 when they try to take up barack obama. hating the opposition will only get you so far unless we see that vision piece of it emerge in the next couple of days i think democrats are leaving an opportunity on the table for

donald trump and the publicans to fill in the vision void. >> laura: basically under a joe biden administration, kids would be laughing and playing again in'm schools? every democrat state for thet most part has kids out of school right now it's the democrat states that have the mosteg stringent rules and regulations in place. new york, new jersey, massachusetts had some of the worst covert losses. i'm not kidding, waved a magic wand and joe biden is going to open the schools. that doesn't even pass the a straight face test. they are the ones closing the schools. and all the presenters at tonight's dnc did their best to ignore the violence and decay of all the chaos in the american cities as we were just saying and it doesn't take a detective to figure out why. perfect time for the g.o.p. to start taking advantage of it. my next guest is working to do

just that.us and she has gone viral for taking her message to the streets of baltimore. >> the people who run baltimore don't. i can prove it. walk with me. they don't want you. i am kimberly klacik. is baltimore, the real baltimore. this is the reality for like people every day. crumbling infrastructure, rumbling homes, poverty and crime. baltimore has been run by the democrat party for 50 years. what is the result of decades of leadership? baltimore is one of the top five most dangerous cities in the the america. the murder rate in baltimore is ten times the u.s. average. ask this question to anyone in baltimore, do you want to defund the police? >> no. >> no. >> absolutely not. >> i think if we defund the police, it's going to be worse than that.

no, i'm opposed to that. >> what are you going to defund the police for? how do you defend your city, your community? >> democrats think like people are stupid. they think they can control us forever. that wee won't demand and that will keep voting for them forever. despite what they've done for our families and communities, are they right? >> laura: joining me now is the woman you just saw, kimberly klacik. this now has 5 million views on your twitter page. but what's the response been from the people in baltimore? >> thank you, first of all, for having me, laura. just sitting here last summer talking about the blight when i took videos that kind of went viral because president trump we tweeted them. here we are a year later talkint about the same thing in the same problem but i've been noticing a lot of people have been commenting that, you know it,ut she's not lying about what's

going on here. i'm so thankful that so many people took notice and they've been re-tweeting it. even the president retweeted it today. so now people are really thinking, if we vote republican, could things change. i really just want to get in and show people you can get a bettel quality of life, it is possible, especiallyci if you vote republican. >> it seems likepu a message of hope used to be what the democrats stood for going back to s bill clinton in 1992. he was the man from hope, bill clinton, and then hope and change. the last few days of the democratic invention, there's been a lot of depressing, there's very dark fear-based messaging. i didn't see a lot of hope from either day, frankly. >> absolutely not. i saw the speech that michelle obama gave and she talked about how even she's a a victim, being black in america, in martha's vineyard. it's always about victimization.

i know for a fact, in baltimore city especially where i was in those videos, billions of dollars of federal funds were sent to that area and here we are in 2020, it still hasn't made it to the ground. from what i can see, the democrat party loves to leverage the urban struggles and annually ask for more federal funds but they actually don't remedy the problems and say that this is what we are going t to do, no oe follows up on it. and i think people accept it at this point. and i think now we are at a point where people are saying maybe i won't vote down ballot. maybe i'll take a look at other options. i have to say going to the city, i've been in west baltimore over a year now just talk to the people what the issues are and i asked them, why haven't you ever voted for a republican or something different? a lot of people willif say that you're the first republican i've ever met. as republicans, we have to start writing stop writing up the cities where i think we can't win and let them know that there are options.

>> laura: you can't win if you don't show up. a very simple commercial, simply worded and beautifully shot, and of course you look great in it as well. which always helps. it was beautifully laid out. i'm curious. who had the ideaf for the layout of the commercial? just a stylistic look of it? >> t luckily this is something we've been working on for over a year. if you go to my youtube channel you'll see where we have many videos will be go out and interview people kind of like the man on the street interview style. i would show people just exactly how bad the blight is. in west baltimore alone we have over 17,000 vacant homes. that's something that needs to change. this is an area where there aren't any career opportunities and for me a as a member hopefuy of congress in november i c want to bring careerno opportunitiese the area. baltimore city has the second largest port in the country and we can utilizepo that.

we saw with the covid pandemic, we relied on other countries for ppe. why not bring that medical industry back to america and right through the baltimore port? >> laura: have you heard from larry hogan, governor hogan? >> not yet but we are hoping he eawill reach out and we been trying to reach him too. >> laura: the republican governor of maryland has not reached out to you after this video? >> not yet. >> laura: has the rnc reached out to you to speak to the rnc yet? >> they have not asked me to speak but they did reach out and congratulate me on the video and said they are there to help. we have heard from them. >> laura: kimberly, she you should be appearing in the rnc next week. if they haven't figured this out yet, i don't know what to say. kimberly, best commercial i've seen in ten years. fantastic job. we will check back with you. >> thank you, laura.

>> laura: is abundantly clear that the democrats can't compete on policy. that's where they spent all night invoking their favorite bogeyman. >> we need to end systemic racial justice. >> fight systemic racism in the justice system. >> as black americans standing on native land, we proudly represent oregon. >> laura: joining me now is congress of racial equality chair, and horace wilson, author of "how trump is making black america greater again." how can democrats tackle racial injustice when they willfully ignore the horrific levels of violence that are destroying our cities right now, especially in minority neighborhoods? >> it's a bloodbath.

young black or brown men have a better chance of survival in the streets of kabul, afghanistan, or iraq than they do on the streets of baltimore, chicago, or my native new york. it's an absolute disgrace. the reason they run on these nice sounding terms like lsystemic racism is that it gis no culpability or responsibility for the conditions that most black people find themselves in in these urban centers that have been controlled not just by democrats today but for decades! for our lifetime! it's a disgrace. they have nothing to run in terms of their record. they run against this really evil sounding word called systemicou racism. >> laura:: stacy abrams made an appearance tonight and others spoke about the importance of having an empowered black woman in america today speaking and

connecting with others. is anything positive there to define? >> she wasn't able to convince the people of georgia come here something positive that she was offering. let me say this quickly, that systemic racism is a useful term whenou you don't want any way of there being an objective measure of whether you are making progress in solving the problem. the solving problem class greatly benefits from poverty, from ill education, and now when we bring the so called systemic racism to the front, they get their volvos, there is ski trips out to aspen, for decades to come, and we the taxpayers are left with >> laura: the old line repeated tonight about the postal service, trump doesn't want you to vote, they are trying to suppress the vote. again, it's the same thing we

heard in 2016. slightly updated with a fake post office story. >> the fear that democrats have, and they should have it, president trump certainly before the covid crisis, but even now president trump is doing better than most republicans had in black and brown precincts. they are afraid that if this president approach is between 13, 14, 15% of the black vote, 35, 40% of the black vote, there is nothing that democrats can do to win this election. capable of doing that, pitching economic message, brought economic recovery to these communities of color, and he'll bring bring it back after covid. >> laura: gentlemen, thank you very much. great to see you as always. coming up, with stacy abrams, as i said she's spreading conspiracy theories about your right to vote. georgette senator kelly leffler responds next.

♪ >> laura: of course tonight's lineup of dnc speakers wouldn't be complete without the democrats' poster card for voter suppression, stacy abrams. she used her time to falsely claim that your right to vote is being taken away by donald trump and the mean old g.o.p. >> we do not elect saviors. d we cast our ballots for those who see our struggles and pledge to serve, who hear our dreams and pledge to make them real, to defend our way of life by protecting our right to vote in a time of voter suppression at home and authoritarians abroad, joe biden will be a champion for free and fair elections. the one here to respond is georgia senator kelly loeffler. why does abrams keep getting a

free pass to spread these type of conspiracy theories? >>se look, laura, everyone who wants to vote in this election that's eligible to vote is going to get the vote. it really is an excuse for why she lost an election in 2018 and she's creating a road map of excuses for biden when president trump gets reelected in november and he is going to get reelected becausein he knows how to create jobs that left everyone in this economy up. he knows how to stand with our law enforcement. he strengthened our military. he helps americans be safe and secure. it's going to be completely evident to be on stage next week and that's what americans want, they want that certainty and security in the communities within their jobs. to talk about voter suppression, talk about the united states postal service. they were distracting from their lack of a platform that lifts all americans up. >> laura: here's what she said

last night on msnbc. watch. >> what brian kemp had done in plain sight is what they been operationalizing, he just decided to do it on steroids. they are trying to force people in early voting in election day because they also v have a plan for 50,000 people to serve as pole intimidator's, to serve as those polling places to do what does well to stir people out of voting. >> laura: this is just the wackiest thing i've ever heard. i remember years ago with the new black panther party that was playing games at some of the polling stations as i recall. but suddenly there is a thousand magical people showing up to intimidate people? she keeps getting away with this, and people on television say how eloquent she is. >> it's absolutely factory. it's a fiction that explains why she lost other than the fact

that georgia elected governor kemp and rightly so. she's he's leading our stateout of tha challenging time. what georgians want to hear about and i've been around the state talking to georgians. they want to know when kids can get back to school spirit one can their jobs be certain, how can they get the economy back on its feet? they are thanking me for supporting president trump in the effort to get the economy rebuilt. >> laura: a lot of racial fearmongering. virus fearmongering. and now voting fearmongering. thank you so much. great to see you, senator.at if you can believe it, the most cringe were the moment of the night involved joe biden himself during his crowning moment. >> proud to cast at 32 votes for our favorite son and next president, our friend, delaware's...
