1:04 am
immigration plan ever put forward by a major party candidate. it must be defeated and it will be defeated on november 3rd. >> reporter: back to the convention night 3 coming up, tonight will be a more perfect union and you have a lot of democrat star power, former president barack obama and senator kamala harris with nancy pelosi, hillary clinton and elizabeth warren, who i'm sure wished -- we will see what she has to say tonight. todd: what are the big take aways from night 2? jillian: let ask the executive director of the american principal project, democratic political analyst kelly and republican strategist, thank you all for being here. what is your reaction? what is your big take away? >> where to begin? this is a party, democratic
1:05 am
party, that had to trot out 17 stars. if you have 17 stars you don't have any leadership or anyone that stands out. my favorite part of the night was bill clinton sink four years of donald trump was going to be more of him being belittling, bullying and blaming other people when in fact that is what bill clinton and his wife hillary did to the people that accused him of sexual impropriety. it might be him claiming donald trump will spend all day watching tv and zapping people on social media, because that is what bill clinton did with interns in his office. it is a joke. this is a party without hope, it is a disaster for the country to elect this group of malcontents who don't have any plans for the country. jillian: your reaction? the second night we heard a lot about joe biden is a person with his character, not necessarily policies.
1:06 am
>> thanks for having me on the show. joe biden crosses party lines. he is a person that brings this country together. one example is secretary of state under george bush, colin powell, says we need a president that will unite the country, not divide our country and biden has a plan, a policy to bring our country back and bring people back together. right now we are in a global pandemic. over 160,000 people are dead on trump's watch, thousands did today, people are struggling financially. that is just not true. that is definitely not true. a false narrative. >> most of these -- shannon: coronavirus is an entirely different topic, the handling of it in new york state
1:07 am
a different topic than that. we will reserve the right to gain reaction on this because we could spend a lot of time talking about that but i don't want to eat of this segment but it is a worthwhile conversation but i think we will run out of time. i want to get your reaction from last night. >> a complete joke looking at night 2. all they focus on is how wonderful a guy joe biden is. this needs to be policy. if they want to attack the president of the united states donald trump is doing a phenomenal job but you cannot move voters by saying joe biden is a great guy, a specific policy, specific issue that will help them change that is going on. all they did was blame and -
1:08 am
what donald trump is not done. it is not the president's for people did not receive continued benefits for businesses and individuals. it is congress's folder they once to bring back post office issues but not people issues. they seem to want to focus on the post office but not the people. this weekend the post office, 25 billion additional dollars, people are suffering. that is what the issue isn't that they should be focused on, not just -- they need to focus on policies and have yet to do that. >> the trump campaign suing new jersey governor phil murphy over mail in voting as the postmaster general, supposed bones proposed changes until after the election. your reaction to the lawsuit?
1:09 am
>> a totally ridiculous claim, ridiculous notion mail in balloting, talking about counting mail in ballots even after the election without any postmark. if you think the russians hacked our election system and that is a huge threat the country you should see what tampering with the mail will do. todd: you agree with the suit by the trump campaign. i assume kelly does not agree. what if trump wins? >> if he wins, if that is what the american people want to. >> if he wins a lawsuit. >> basically the position is it is unconstitutional, we will see what happens. stand in line to vote. supporting fail -- mail in, the american people should vote by mail. >> absentee ballot and vote by mail.
1:10 am
last question, is this the first of many lawsuits in the lead up to november 3rd? >> we have to have a secure election, and people are dying, some don't exist anymore and ballots going out to random people that already passed away. currently living right now, we have to confirm identity and protect the election and that is what this is about and the most important issue. todd: we will have you go over coronavirus mail in voting, appreciate your time. jillian: a desperate manhunt for the attacker of this brutal hit on a truck driver. todd: after a fire was set at
1:11 am
the county seat of government. the mayor finally condemning the violence. >> the search is on to find the man who viciously attacked a truck driver in downtown portland. police made several attempts to contact this man with no success urging love to turn himself in. he was kicking the driver in the head knocking him unconscious. they believe the driver was helping the transgender woman, portland police begging for other witnesses. i urge the department of justice to actively pursue prosecution of the horrific attack after 80 days of unrest, ted wheeler
1:12 am
responding, i denounce all violence, were filmed and posted to social media. portland is not the only speed dealing with unrest in seattle, several condition surfaced to recall city councilmembers who voted to defund the police. >> they don't really know how to do this, so there will be a lapse in safety and someone could get hurt. jillian: several cities, shrinking voluntarily. in chicago officers are retiring at double the rate in previous years and in san francisco the city is on track to see twice as many, gianna caldwell in chicago, join us to discuss officers at 5:45 this morning. rob: fox news alert, a massive fire erupting overnight, a rush

care of these problems, answer the call 900% of the time. in easter would where i was in those videos they answer your call 5% of the time. at the federal level, federal funds were supposed to help people to see what is happening or know what was going on. todd: 53 years of democratic leadership, the top five most dangerous american cities, 10 times the average us murder rate, 20% of the poverty rate. it will all come down to votes, if you get the proper amount of votes. that blacks vote republican will get through baltimoreans nationwide. >> 26 democratic districts, every 10 democrats, one
1:19 am
republican, acting for a change at this point. my campaign ad and other people putting out things that social media, and democrat leadership has allowed to happen. people are starting to wake up, walk the streets and say what would it takes to make you vote for a republican, you are the first republican i ever met and now that i know there are options, i will take a look at this. the more republicans get out and talk to people in inner cities instead of writing them off of the more of us get out and talk to people. sean: kimberly will work with the trump administration and bring baltimore back, don't blow it. it is huge to get that endorsement from the president. we will be watching to see how your race is.

joining us, portland attorney james bugle. let's read the statement from the portland mayor as follows, i denounce all violence including the assault films and posted to social media. assaults like these make our community less safe. could this horrific attack finally be the turning point elected leaders put a end to the violence. >> not based on what we saw last. police are still under orders not to make the kind of arrests or do the kind of law enforcement that can put a end to the growing disorder. "imus in the morning" the da said assaults will not be tolerated days after vowing not to charge protesters. let's read the exact statement. they undermine everything our community is doing to remain meaningful and lasting change in the, justice system and beyond but there is the next step.
1:25 am
will the da sent the message by charging crimes like the horrific one we've been showing you for the last 24 hours prosecuting that to the max? >> i think he will charge those, to film somebody doing it in the public pressure makes was going on look bad they will charge that but the real problem is he's doing nothing about the larger problems of disorder that goes back to the broken windows theory of policing. if you let this kind of thing happen and it gets worse and worse your encouraging these crimes by not prosecuting underlying crimes of disorder, crimes like riot, violence and travel to us behavior or disorderly conduct, threatening the public, blocking streets,
1:26 am
sitting things on fire and these things are going on every night. sean: we have those on-screen. is the reason these crimes are not prosecuted certainly political? i can't see a public safety reason you would not charge these crimes. >> this is a political choice being made. within hours, videos of police with a large group of rioters and they don't know what to do. they can't make the kind of arrests they would need to. not like it is difficult to stop large crowds gathering in the middle of the night, but you charge people money, impose consequences for illegal conduct, and the illegal conduct will stop, criminal law 101. todd: like raising a child, you
1:27 am
don't want to reboard that behavior. thank you very much. >> first biden gave an interview to hardy be. now his first joint interview with kamala harris is with people magazine. when will the democratic ticket get the hard-hitting questions? we will talk about that next. >> african americans facing injustice at an opportune time, anthony did nothing. violence is more damaging than words. jillian: cancel culture going after susan b anthony after donald trump ardent her. the backlash on social media.

1:32 am
occasions at the dnc convention. those are scripted events he is speaking to. the dnc convention making a pitch to the moderate voter. aoc is not getting much of a platform. despite this joe biden isn't reaching out to moderate voters. they will understand what his policies are when he faces donald trump on the debate stage. ratings for the convention are down but they are playing up joe biden's character, not addressing his me too allegations. you have to question if he's reaching moderate voters, glorified zoom call, not taking on the tough questions from the media. todd: speaking of policy.
1:33 am
she wasn't given a lot of time but aoc was the second democratic socialist to address the convention this week. take a listen. >> millions of people in the united states are looking for deep systemic solutions including guaranteed healthcare, higher education, living wages. i second the nomination of senator bernard sanders. todd: what should be our take away that on consecutive nights we have democrat socialists, bernard sanders first and alexandria ocasio cortez second. >> interesting the media hyped up the fact that aoc was speaking last night but in the minute or so that she had she was making a pitch for senator bernie sanders and his policies. she on twitter did endorse joe biden but we know that is not where her policy positions are.
1:34 am
the administration far to the left on its policies, part of a climate change panel and so forth. democrats are trying to downplay the aoc type figures who are really in control of their party right now in a pitch to gain the more moderate voters but voters are going to realize when biden takes the debate stage the type of policies a biden/kamala harris administration would implement across the country and many of those policies would be more on the democrat socialist side. todd: there hasn't been a lot of policy in nights one and 2, it will be interesting to see what nights 3 and 4 bring. thank you very much.
1:35 am
jillian: aoc given just 50 seconds to speak, republican congressman dan crenshaw says democrats don't want to spend time talking about their agenda because it has moved so far left. >> they focus on trump and other vague platitudes. they can't focus on their platform. they want to defend the police, drastically raise taxes and raise spending, joe biden's energy panel, government bureaucrat in charge of healthcare, this is not a popular platform and there's a reason they won't talk about it. todd: another far left push, texas governor greg abbott proposing a freeze on property tax revenues in cities that push to reduce law enforcement funding. >> law enforcement is not a tool of political agendas. >> cities that endanger residents by reducing law enforcement should not be able to turn around and go back and get more property tax dollars. todd: the proposal coming days
