to save our democrats, to be a light to the world once again and finally to live upam to and make real the words written in the sacred documents that founded this nation. that all men and women are created equal. endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. life, liberty and the pursuit of certain inalienable rights. life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. you know, my dad was a honorable and decent man. rt he got knocked down a few times pretty hard. he always got back up. he worked hard, and he built the great middle-class life for our family. he used to say, "joey, i don't expect the government to solve my problems but i sure as heck expect themt to understand them" and then he said, "joey, the job is a about lot more than a

paycheck and it's about your it's about respect. it's about you placing the community, it's about saying hey, it's going to be okay. and mean it." i've never forgotten those lessons. that's why my economic plan is all about jobs. dignity, respect, and community. together, we can and rebuild our country and when we do, will not country and when we do, we will not only build back, will build back better. with modern roads, bridges, broadband, ports, airports, a new foundation for economic growth with transports, clean water, to every community.y. 5 million new manufacturing and technology jobs of the future is made in america. the health care system in all its premiums, deductibles, drug prices, by building on the affordable care act he is trying to rip away.

in the education system that trains are people for the best jobs of the 21st century is not a single thing american workers can do. the cost does not prevent young people from going to college and student that doesn't crush them when they get out. for the child care and eldercare system that makes it possible for parents to go to work and for the elderly to stay in their home with dignity. with an immigration system that powers our economy and reflects our values.on and with newly empowered labor unions. they're the ones that built the middle class. l with equal pay for women, with rising wages you can raise children on and a family on, and yes, we're going to do more than praise our essential workers. we're finally going to pay them, pay them. we can and we will deal with climate change and it's not only a crisis, it's an enormous opportunity.

it's an opportunity for america to lead the world in clean energy and create millions ofop good paying jobs in the process. and we can pay for these investments by ending loopholes and unnecessary loopholes ine te president's $1 trillion tax giveaway and most profitable corporations some of which don't pay any tax at all.be because we don't need a taxod ce that rewards wealth more than it rewards work. i'm not looking to punish anyone. far from it. but long past time the wealthiest people and the biggest corporations of this country pay their fair share and for our seniors, social security is a sacred obligation, a sacred promise made. they paid for. the current president is threatening to break the promise

and proposing to eliminating a tax that pays pays for almost half the social security without any way of making up for that lost revenue. resulting in cuts. i will not let that happen. if i'm your president, we are going to protect social security and medicare. you have my word. one of the most powerful voices we hear in the country today is from our young people. they are speaking to the america. inequity, injustices grown up in america. economic injustice, racial injustice, environmental injustices. i hear their voices and if you can listen, you can hear them. the existential threat posed by climate change, the daily fear of being gunned down in school. the inability to get started in their first job.

it will be the work of the next president to restore the promise of america to everyone. and i'm not going to have to do it alone. because i'll have a great vice president at my side. senator kamala harris, she is a powerful voice for this nation. her story is the american story. she knows about all the obstacles thrown in the way of so many in our country.n women, black women, black americans, south asian-americans,en immigrants, left out and left behind. a but she has overcome every obstacle she has ever faced. no one has been tougher on the big banks and the gun lobby, no one has been tougher in callingt out the current administration for its extremism, it's a failure to follow the law and its failure to simply tell the truth. kamala and i draw from the strength of our families,

for kamala, it's doug and their families. for me, it is jill and ours. i've said many times, no man deserves one great love in his life let alone too but i have known two. after losing my first wife in the car accident, jill came into my life. she put our family back together. she's an educator, a mom, a military mom. an unstoppable force. if she puts her mind to it, just get out of the way. she's going to get it done. she was a great second lady and i know she will make a great first lady for this nation. she loves this country so much. and i will always have the strength that can only come from family. hunter, ashley, all our grandchildren. my brothers, my sister, they give me courage, they lift me up. wally is no longer with us, beau inspires me every day.

beau served our nation in uniform here in iraq, decorated iraqi war veteran. i take very personally and a profound responsibility whoqi served as commander in chief. i will be a president who will stand with our allies and friends and make it clear to our adversaries, the day of closing out the dictators is over. under president biden, america will not turn a blind eye to russia bounties on the heads of americanblru soldiers. dignity. i will work in common purpose for a more secure, peaceful, and prosperous world. history, history has thrustt one

more urgent task on us. will we be the generation thatmo finally wipes out the stain of racism from our national character? i believe we are up to it. i believe we are ready. just a week ago yesterday, it was the third anniversary of the events in charlottesville. close your eyes, remember what you saw on television, remember seeing those the neo-nazis and the klansmen and white supremacists coming onto the field with lighted torches, veins bulging, spewing the same anti-semitic bile heard across the country in the '30s. inremember that a violent clash that ensued between those spreading that and those with the courage to stand against it. remember what the president said when asked, he said there

were "very fine people" on both sides. that's a wake-up call for the country, and for me a call to action. at that moment, i knew i had to run. because my father taught us that silence was complicity and i could never remain silent or complicit. at the time, i said we are in the battle for the soul of this nation. and we are. you know, one of the most important conversations with someone who is much too young to vote. i met with 6-year-old gianna floyd the day before her dad, george floyd, was laid to rest. she's an incredibly brave young girl. i will never forget when i leaned down to speak to her, she looked in my eyes and i say "daddy changed the world. daddy changed the world."

her words burrowed deep into my heart. maybe george floyd's murder was a breaking point. maybe john lewis is passing wass information but however it has come to be, however it has happened, america is ready and john's words to lay down "the heavy burden at last." and then the hard work of rudy now, our systemic racism. you know, american history tells us that it's been in our darkest moments that we've made our greatest progress. that we have found the light. and in this dark moment, i believe we are poised to make great progress again and that we can find the light once more. you know, many people have heard me say this, but i was believe

you can define america in one word.rd possibilities. the defining feature of america, everything is possible. that in america, everyone, and i mean everyone, should be given an opportunity to go as far as their dreams and god-given ability will take them. we can never lose that. in times, as challenging as itim is, i believe that there is only one way forward. as a united america, a united america, united in our pursuit of a more perfect union. united in our dreams of a better future for us and for our children. toted in our determination make theke coming years bright. are you ready? i believe we are! this is a great nation, we are a good and decent people. for lord's sake, this is the united states of america!

there is never beenfo anything that we have been ablehi to accomplish when we have done it together. there was a poet, seanmus, once wrote in history that says "don't hope on this side of the grave. but then once-in-a-lifetime the long tidal wave of justice can rise up and hope in history rhyme. this is our moment to make hope and history rhyme. with passion and purpose, let us begin, you and i together, one nation, under god, united and our love for america, united in our love to each other! for love is more powerful than hate. hope is more powerful than fear. and light is more powerful than dark! this is our moment, this is our mission! history will be able to say that the end of this chapter of american darkness began here, tonight!

as love, and hope, and light, joined in the battle for the soul of the nation! and this is a battle that wen! will win and we will do it together. i promise you.t thank you, and may god bless you and may god protect our troops! good night. ♪ [applause] ♪

♪ >> former vice president joe biden officially accepting the nomination of the democratic party, 33 years after he first ran for president. he is not known for his public speaking, but this, having seen him speak on the stump many, many times, was the best he has been as far as his delivery. he obviously started off very pointed against president trump, something that people didn't know whether he was going to do

or not saying that the characters on the ballot, compassions on the balance, decency, science, democracy all on the ballot and you can see all the folks around the country streaming in. they have more streams tonight for them to point at and then he will make his way out here to the parking lot and all the cars for an appearance on the stage behind us. this is what he needed to do for this crowd and the crowd around the country but thewd question was was it enough to affect this race and give in a bounce?o >> he tried to strike hopeful, he used the word hope of about seven times in the early part of the speech and he started by quoting a civil rights leader saying give people light and he enmade a lot of references to george floyd and what happened in charlotte and how that inspired him what the president said about happened in charlotte and that was my moment and i had to get in. talk about john lewis rooting

out systemic racism and that was one of the bigger themes of this beat and they tried to do something that really didn't happen last night with, harris. people involved, cars parked on here, trying to get music going and a little bit of energy into this thing which has been a little tough to deal in the virtual situation. >> bret: as they're walking out here, you can see joe biden, joe biden making their way onto the back o parking lot here. chris wallace bringing you in, one of the things is the energy, he did deliver the energy at the end there. at times it felt like a state of the union but then he kind of hit the dismount. >> oh, i thought it was an enormously effective remember remember donald trump has beenr talking for months about joe biden as mentally shot and a captive of the left and biden was reading from the teleprompter and a prepared speech but i thought that he blew a hole, a big hole in the characterization.he

you talk about the line the character is on the ballot, an enormously effective remember decency is on the ballot and talked about the different paths for the country. if not in a deep diplomatic sense but he did talk about the plans for the virus in the economy. t for the climate change, race, foreign policy, and he talked about what united america can co to accomplish all of those things. it seems to me that after tonight, donald trump will have to run against a candidate, not a caricature of the democrats having a good convention. now, it is the republicans turn. >> bret: let's listen in here, this is the parking lot right behind us. the horns are honking, and let's take a moment. ♪ [cheers and applause]

[horns honking] ♪

♪ ♪ >> bret: i tell you what, this is a different time with masks, with cars, socially distance, but there's some fireworks a he. donna, i can see you blowing the whistle there. what are your thoughts on this night? >> well, first of all, a good

sermon go slow, go fast, sit yourself down, and that was a good sermon!d let the church say amen! [laughter] no, he did what he was supposed to do. he connected with the american people, he shared his values and outlined his vision, and most importantly he spoke from the heart and people want to hear that. all i can t say, a+. i'm going to church this sunday. that was a hail mary, thank you lord. thank you. >> bret: brit hume, your thoughts? >> it was a veryry good speech, the delivery was full of clarity and no signs of the difficulties and sometimes his memory seems faint and grassed week, though you would not expect that in a prepared speech but he blew out all sort of possibilities as he did with bernie sanders and the way of debate that he could be strong on debate nights here and there as well.wo

good start for him it seems to me. there's a lot of democratic parties and we heard many times and many cycles, but nonetheless right for the audience and i would have liked to hear him say something about his plans about china and would you like to do about that. or the terrible trouble in the city's streak and learnedly utterly unmentioned as far as i can see, as c far as i could te. nonetheless, all in all a very good speech and i'm sure it will give you a boost and i think we can simply expect he will get a bump in the polls in the performance. >> martha: i was so struck by watching the whole scene and if you had dropped someone into this, one year ago, and said what is going on and everybody is wearing masks on the stage and this is joe biden accepting his nomination as president of united states for the democrats,

and you know, dana, this is such a unique moment as a country and you see people behind us as the americans have been doingma throughout to make this thing work. they are trying to make it their best shot. >> what a beautiful sentiment, martha, i agree. hawonderful to see americans and it might take us a few months to figure out how to have fun and do these things in a different way but we did it. look, the other night i said that michelle obama stuck the landing and i think keeping with the sameid joe biden just hit a home run in the bottom ofg the ninth which i thinkk i got that right in terms of the sports. he has taste, rhythm, energy, emotion, and delivery. i think if you look back, you can say that's probably the best speech of his life and he really just took the moment and i love that. on the policy side of things, a little bit of incoherence, and in a 3 sentence stanza he's going to create millions of jobs. but i'm not exactly sure how that works, but this was a speech that was 80% appealing

from the heart and 20% policy and now turning it over to the republicans. congratulations who put on the first unconventional convention and turned out to be a pretty good one. >> bret: the finale, the finale right there -- >> balloons, balloons. >> bret: the candidates with the honking horns behind us. w karl rove, your thoughts on this convention? >> i thought it was an excellent end and it was a very good speech. he had a balancing act here tonight, he was trying to balance, and one was the image portraying himself as a unifier who would bring the country together. he did, i thought so, very effectively and if i were a republican strategist in the trump campaign, i would be worried about how long and how effectively he carries that forward to. because that is the thing that will keep the swing voters in his camp if they are. on the other hand, the other

part of the balance was that he wanted to talk to the base and we saw a lot of policy in here fleetingly mentioned like for example when he talked about the economy, i counted 11 items that he rattled off when he talked about covid. he had six things he was going to do and most of those are to the left of his party. but again, it's a balancing act and that's the red meat for the progressives and at the same time that he was appealing for the swing voters. like brit, i was taken aback where we didn't hear anything about china, the big issues and obviously this is something that he and his people have decided that they will never talk about. i have looked back and i found four words in which he condemned the violence one time but other than that that they have been silent on it. finally, you know, 1960 we had the nixon-kennedy debate and if you listen to it on radio, you thought nixon won and if you watched on television you thought that kennedy won.

while i thought it's a strong performance tonight reading off the teleprompter, i wonder though if you looked at and ended it reminded you that he really is 77 years old. there were moments, granted, he didn't do a mistake or lose words and news flow was pretty good but if you look at him and you said that's an old guy and he's doing his best. >> martha: your thoughts?lo >> it's a very good speech and you know, martha, you and i were talking about the coronavirus going in. you know, exactly what role that might play in november. but this speech, i thought that he did as best as they number pe issue on the minds of american voters right now and i sense that he expects it will be the number one issue on november 3rd. then he was very clear in saying here is my plan, here is how i would deal with it, this is what we should have been doing from pthe start.

he said that we had 50 million infected, 200,000 dead, jobs lost, he made the burden very clear. on that point, i think that anybody who is listening tonight to that speech would come away saying i understand how joe biden stands on dealing with the number one issue in america right now. there wast poetry though, the ella baker, the whole notion of light and people will find their way. coming all the way back and then when he was talking about the idea that we can rise and be hopeful, that there is so much reason for people right now to give up hope. when he is saying don't give into the politics of hatred, division. to me, this was poetic because so much of that is that's what's at stake in the country. when he said that line about laying down the burden of hate that america is at this point

where we can lay down the burden of hate, i think it spoke to way more people than black lives matter. i think it spoke to americans in the suburbs, it spoke to americans in rural america, as well as americans in the city. you know what, we can move forward., we can overcome. in that sense, i thought it was a terrific speech. >> bret: katie, let's hear your thoughts and look forward. the marker has now been thrown, the republicans are next to take up the baton. >> the race is on, president trump in pennsylvania today taking on joe biden in his hometown. at a time when the biden campaign is not engaged in the grassroots effort, he did make it feel like tonight he was talking to you as a individual. it was a good speech until he gets fact tracked and scrutinized, and joe biden claims that he wants to unify the country, but the truth is on the campaign trail as we saw in the democratic primary and previously in the political race

he has a temper. he will have to answer some of the questions about hishe polics positions, what he would have done differently on the coronavirus and if that shouldn't be this way okay, what does that mean and what would you do differently to make american lives better on that front? he should give chris wallace an interview now that they've gotten the speech off the ground and maybe get them involved to answer some real questions about what the plan is moving forward. >> bret: all right, panel, it's been a lot of fun we did not know what it's going to look like and now we do. we have one under our belt but b next week as a wholeoo new ball game. we will be back tomorrow. i think youne are watching. >> martha: great having a privity with us this week and we will see you back tomorrow. "the ingraham angle" is up next. good night, everybody, from bloomington delaware. good night. ♪ >> laura: i'm laura ingraham,

this is this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight, that's a wrap on dnc for four days, politicians depressing big net vignettes from america that doesn't sound like the one that i remember. donald trump jr. will be here in just a few moments with exclusive reaction to biden speech, but first, and what felt at sometimes like an never ending zoom call with professional scold, the 2020 virtual dnch finally, mercifully wraps. after all the democrats and gauzy tributes to joe and the shameless liests about trump, all we are left with is a recognition that this is a party that has nothingng since 2016. think about it, to answer trump's popular appeal, they nominated a guy first ran for president 33 years ago. a guy that has been hanging around washington since the early 70s. aa man whose grandfather appeal, notwithstanding, epitomizes

the word swamp. then adding insult to injury, they think you are so stupid that you will vote for them even if you have no idea what he is actually doing to tackle our toughest challenges. >> they will get this pandemic under control. like joe did when he help me manage h1n1. and prevent an ebola outbreak from reaching our shores. >> joe will bring us together to end this pandemic and make sure that we are prepared for the next one. >> convenient, you've got to go and deal with the facts and go to work. our parties united in offering you a very differentan choice. >> laura: joe's only covid strategy is to lock you down and mask you up, he said as much tonight. and as we are seeing with the current case surge in europe, that doesn't work! the truth is, joe's messaging is ignoring the actual signs. after being demonized by the left for opening up too soon, arizona and texas have already

emerged from the worst of it. they of course our far better off than the democratic run new york and new jersey. of course, not many are even watching the democrat telethon or did. some not sure they're going to get the usual bump from it, joe's good delivery notwithstanding. now, not good for joe when in the key battleground state of pennsylvania, biden's lead has gone from double digits to a measly four points today.. so, why the tightening with all the excitement of the virtual dnc? well, today, joe was all about practicing the prompter. trump was back on the stump. >> joe biden is no friend of pennsylvania. biden supported every globalist attack on pennsylvania workers. my first week in office i was from the trans-pacific partnership which would been district if your job a horror

show. i withdrew from the one-sided paris climate accord which would have cost us so many billions of dollars. >> laura: it's about making america safe again. >> there is a certain sense four years ago and these people have gone insane. if you want a vision of your life under joe biden presidency, think of this smoldering ruins in minneapolis, the violent anarchy of portland. the bloodstained sidewalks of chicago. and imagine the mayhem coming to your town and every single town in america. >> laura: of course, the democrats mentioned none of this tonight. well, they couldn't, could they? americans aren't stupid. no matter how much team biden tries to hide the ball, they know that he will kill the fracking industry, he will of the steels left

industry when he lifts trump's trade tariffs on china, they know that biden presidency import more crime and cheap labor. when you wrap your mind around that, suddenly joe and jill's 45 year love affair becomes a lot less endearing or less relevant. they throw the word dignity around a lot tonight and over the past four nights. tonight, i will ask you, where's the dignity and taking in the american job and shipping it to china? where's the dignity and rewarding the lawlessness and sanctuary cities? where is the dignity americans left defenseless when police are defunded? where's the dignity and the empathy and keeping our kids out of the classroom in order to placate the teachers union? where's all that compassion and remaining silent as our cities are leveled by the democrats most violent and cruel supporters? answer? there is zero dignity, zero

compassion, there is zero empathy in any of that. here with exclusive reaction, tonight for the dnc, donald trump jr. executive vice president of the trump organization. all right, don, i went to play this moment from joe biden tonight. >> this is a life-changing election. this will determine what america will look like for a long, long time. character is on the ballot, compassion is on the ballots, decency, science, democracy, they are all on the ballot. >> laura: that sounds like a plan. that was really the theme of the week, no policy, just decency overloaded. meaning is that your dad doesn't have any of the decency or compassion thing. do this work, don? >> you know, i don't think so the american people expect results from their politicians. joe biden has been a 50 year swamp creature and he was elected into the d.c. office in his 20s.

now, half a century later, laura, he managed to read a speech on the teleprompter, he refuses to answer questions from the american people were journalist. he has been hiding in a basement but now he's also going to change things. i really don't think anyone believes that i don't think that joe biden has ever been inspiring in his career and i don't think any night was different. if you can read a speech on the teleprompter you would think he would be able to get to the american people that he would be able to do an interview with a real journalist where they are not giving him prescripted answers and reading the answers off the teleprompter. alele b we think it would be able to do that after half a century in washington, d.c. but he can't. the reality that you've seen this week, they heard joe biden, michelle obama, maybe that person should be running for president. they're not inspired by joe biden because he hasn't done anything tope disserve inspiratn through a very long and very swampy career. h >> laura: for the last four

days, too bad they were not in charge for eight years because he might might have done all the cool stuff. but he did beat the expectations and thatt people were expecting him to flub every line and have a senior moment. just the delivery and devoid of any policy other than universal masking, but he delivered a good speech and for what he was doing, very emotional. but emotional stuff, walk down memory lane and so forth. it was very well delivered. >> he also lied, he brings back the democrats only -- easy button going back to the line about charlottesville, talked about being tough on china. you're going to be tough on china now? when joe started pushing t and shilling for them to get permanent status in the world trade organization, china had an economy the size of the netherlands. hunter biden, he didn't talk too much about hunter strange enough, he took a $1.9 billion from the china government and

the average person, that's $30 million a year in fees. in fees! $30 million aye year annually ad you think is going to be tough on china now? joe fought for nafta, joe fought for tpp, all of the deals that really destroyed the american dream. our only experts under joe biden's 50 year tenure has been the american dream the countries that hate our guts and have been manipulating us for decades. donald trump is the first guy to stand up to those people he's the first guy to actually get the deal done whether it's with china, whether a peace deal in the middle east, where is joe biden and where he has he been? he was in control for eight years with barack obama, why did they not do any of these things? and joe biden knew how to fix anything, why didn't he tell a barack obama how to do it? why didn't they get it done? >> laura: or barack obama was keeping it secret to give to joe for later use when he was running. >> it's going to be their secret so now.

after eight years of failure, eight years ofof stagnation, you know, you're going to listen to michael bloomberg who has spent a billion dollars to win a american samoa, probably not going to take his advice either. >> laura: the elusive hunter biden, since he mentioned him, appearancee the tonight. and take a look. >> i'm hunter biden. >> and i'm ashley biden. >> joe biden is our dad. >> beau is our brother. >> we want to tell you whatt kid of president are dad will be. >> he will be tough. >> and honest. >> laura: do you know how they were trading words until the end until ashley said "caring and principled?" did they not hunter to say that? >> i don't thinkhe hunter after hiding for spousal support, child payments, et cetera, et cetera, again, not to mention the crooked ukraine deal, the politician, chinese government $1.5 million, not actually an investor before. i do not think that hunter will

talk much about characters in these things butun the reality whether it's hunter, joe biden's brother, whether it is his sister, they have all spent their entire lives profiting off joe biden, taxpayer-funded offices.iv that is all they know and that's honestly why they haven't had the decency to step in and say hey, maybe not your turn, maybe it should not be you.ec they should have done that during the primary but theyhe he nothing else. it's the epitome of the swamp and that's what the election will come down to.y it's going to be the swamp versus freedom in america, it's going to be socialism as you have seen with the bernie sanders joint unity platform on joe biden's website. it will be socialism versus freedom. worse than the constitution and all of those things that the democrats don't believe so much in and you also did not hear and again, they brought up the hoax, the nonsense "they've been able he did the media" for months about charlottesville. it knows they did not talk about the crime and democrat run cities, burning, m looting, beating people in the streets. joe is never even denounce that

and the democrats have never even denounced that it seems that they are allowing of it, laura. they're all democrats cities in over a century. >> laura: instead, the references to the city was always in terms of what's in it inspiring that these new versions of john lewis were out >> peaceful protesters. they don't burn down cars, burn down housing projects, they don't loot gucci stores to get a new handbag or purse or a belt, that is not peaceful protesting. and yet between the dnc and their marketing with the mainstream media, i heard a lot about peaceful protesting and i believe people called it the summer of love. give me a break. i hope a good god-fearing american people see through this nonsense because that is the problem that we face. we are in a uphill battlee in te sense that it is so biased, it is so flagrant, that the media

has totally just advocated their responsibility to be arbiters of truth. without bias to be activists for the left and that regular people aren't consuming that sort of news. joe biden getting tough on china, i mean, it is laughable. >> laura: it's beyond laughable. it's the china question alone. >> he should be able to do an interview like someone with you yourself orse someone who is not going to spoon-feed him questions that he already has the answer to that he is miraculously leading off the teleprompter. i don't think they will and nobody will push for it. >> laura: don, yes-or-no answer, do you think he is going to debate your dad, yes or no? >> i think he will try to get out of it however he can. >> laura: don, great to see you. thank you so much. joining me now karl rove former deputy of staff, and charlie hurtz, "washington

times" opinion editor and both are t fox news contributors. is it enough to deliver a delivered it well, well-written speech and he delivered it well, he really didn't, he delivered it well. but the void of policies beyond the universal masking's for the most b f part. >> i read a lot more policy and had the code words that would cause some of the on the left to say he's with us. no, one speech does not do it. one speech can open up opportunities for your opponent and tonight, he opened up some opportunities for president trump particularly on covid. he talked about -- i thought it was interesting he open the section by saying i've been talking about this since march and then proceeded to outline six things like rapid testing, more ppe, so forth. i thought it was interesting. he knows he's got the vulnerability on this issue and the vulnerability is that he and

his campaign were wrong on this issue almost from the start. in late january, remember, he has said in the china travel ban was hysteria and xenophobic, 31st of january. early february he sent out the campaign to say that this is less lethal than sars and is "probably not a serious epidemic." that was his campaign. by mid-february, he said we don't have a covid-19 epidemic, we have a fear epidemic. late february, they're saying that it's "like the flu and it will dissipate with warmer weather moved to the southern hemisphere." "masks are not going to help." early march, he was still holding a rally in wisconsin and then he came out and opposed the european travel ban and then in mid-march, one of theth few tims he went on the records he said that "very early decision to close travel with china was we need to stop the xenophobico fearmongering."

remember, he's a guy who presided over the obama-biden administration and over depleting the national strategic stockpile of the ppe, the equipment that health professionals need andnd did not replenish it. the cupboard was bare when president trump had to go to the cupboard. he's given the opportunity here tonight in several ways but i think this is the biggest one trying to pretend that since march.oen his plan was delivered inet the interview two weeks ago and it was all six things and president trump and is an administration already done. >> laura: he will have 60 million rapid tests, charlie hurt's, like yeah, it must be really easy to to route 60 million rapid tests. since we talked about the word dignity, it used a lot over the last four days, hitting trump on the personality front.o it is a dignified given what

joe biden has said in the past? watch. >> the job is about a lot more than a paycheck, it's about your dignity. it's about respect. it's about your place in the community.di it's about being able to say hey, it's going to be okay. and mean it. i've never forgotten those lessons. that's why my economic plan is all about jobs and dignity, respect, and community.. >> laura: of course he talks about taking people behind the woodshed and beating them up in the past.t he's like hitting people left and right. suddenly he's ay choir boy of politics and he's never hit anybody hard in politics. >> i got to be honest, this was not a good speech. this is a guy who has been given political speeches literally for 50 years. i've been here for a good 25-30 years and this is a fair to

average speech from joe biden he's a very garrulous kind of guy. going back to what karl rove just said it's a very important and we heard it from barack obama last night, heard it tonight, the idea that they are going to blame donald trump for hundred and 70,000 deaths in america is so far beyond the payoff, it is so appalling, and it's not a h far off thing. every american has been through this pandemic. they have felt it in some way in a very personal way. their lives have been up ended in a very personal way. this is not some far off debate club topic, this is something that has reached into their personal lives to varying degrees and affected them. and for them to sit there and listen to politicians squirming up the greasy hole talking about trying to blame 175,000 deaths

on their opponents to reap some sort of personal, political reward at the end of it, i think it strikes people, especially in an emergency, is really, really gross. and so joe biden can talk about light and help, tryea to give positive notes to his speech, but when the speech also contains that there's really nothingh positive about it and i think that what comes through from thehe entire week. >> laura: a lot of use of personal tragedy for political ends and that's the way it fall to a lot of folks. >> it's disgusting. >> laura: gentlemen, good to see both of you tonight thank you so much. up next, raymond arroyo breaks down the dnc flubs and the inside events democrats hope you didn't watch, but we did. don't go away. ♪

>> laura, everyone was inducing about how fluid this was a beautiful and i thought it labored,d, tortured, there were moments like this where he was holding on and gripping for dear life and hoping he did not slip up. many of the lines, watching the events of biden daily, many of the lines are recycled and borrowed, old bits of stories strung together here so he was unfamiliar territory. whether it broke through in the running mate of covid-19 will be enough to push them over the edge with the swing voters, we will see. i thought it was unsteady particularly at the end. >> laura: it seemed like he was really, really trying hard and he did not mess up a lot. so, that is pretty good for joe. and speak of the sympathy, you don't want the audience feeling sympathy. laura: it seem like there lot of airing of personal tragedy which is horrible to go there because we have all been

abortion in his support for immigration or climate change and somehow that balance syncs up. it doesn't. in the catholic teaching, abortion is a grave moral evil in your for but into vote for somebody who supports it. when i heard him say does save our souls we have to vote for joe biden, that's quite a e mouthful there. faith that sees best in darkness and no, this convention looks best in darkness and faith operates best in light. that's where it should live. this was a very curious invocation. >> laura: the invocation of the john paul ii, lovee to talk about the lights and the lights, and so he uses the light analogy and a lot of people online were saying where is light in a million abortions a year? in the united states, where is the light in not speaking for the most defenseless among us? where is theam light there?

>> they talked about human dignity, can't have human dignity if they don't have light and we lament the 17 170,000 lis lost. nobody talk up about it but that was the heart of the party and joe biden's agenda and it's got to be considered by all people. >> laura: raymond, was that of nun, i was not aware -- okay. >> we got rid of the habits a few years ago, some of the orders she's an activist nun, mostly known for being on the bus. >> laura: the none on the nun. raymond. a moment that got overshadowed and the last bite coming up next. ♪
