about anybody else. we will be back at 4:00 p.m. eastern. we will have a preview of the republican national convention, it's going to be quite a week here on fox news channel. first tonight, the president at 6:00 p.m. eastern on coronavirus. ♪ ♪ gillian: the white house fighting back against president trump -- president trump's niece reported without consent and tapes have been obtained an released to the public by the washington post or at least parts of them have. welcome to america's news headquarters from washington this afternoon. i'm gillian turner, leland, it is great to be with you and great to be with everybody at home. leland: nice to be with you as well. i'm leland vittert on the

sunday. we can expect the president will be asked about the tapes, he has a briefing at 6:00 p.m. eastern about possible developments in the fight against the coronavirus. the briefing live on fox news channel as it happens. right now kevin corke, north lawn of the white house with a look at what was actually in those recordings, morning, kevin. kevin: great to be with you, who would record, record a family member for hours and then release that information to the public and then have it perfectly timed right before the president's convention unless, of course, it wasn't secret at all but you just don't know. all we can tell you is by my measure, any fair measure the comments were provocative. and that i can tell you this, is there are a number of comments that were made and i just want to be careful in how i frame them, mary anne trump in secret recording have said his blank

tweet and lying, oh, my god, i'm talking too freely, but you know, the change of stories, the lack of preparation, the lying, holy blank. so that's kind of how it all went. so what about the white house reaction to the comments and the story itself, well, here is what the chief of staff mark meadows had to say about it earlier today? mark: i think the president has already spoke, another day another political attack. what i find interesting any family member that would tape 15 hours of a conversation with somebody, obviously to promote an agenda, she's been very vocal in her support for -- for joe biden. >> pretty amazing when you get right down to it, this from the white house, in fact, a statement from the president himself every day it's something else. who cares? i miss my brother and i will continue to work hard for the american people. not everyone agrees but the results are obvious, our country

will soon be stronger than ever before. that from president trump reacting to that piece in the post. you mentioned 6:00 o'clock news conference here. i actually saw the tweet come across my phone or a little bit after 11:20 last night from kayleigh mcenany and as you mentioned, leland, she talked about this idea of a possible breakthrough with respect to therapeutics. as you know, the white house has been super eager to open the gates and let people get testing and make sure that the possible vaccines are not inhibited so ultimately they can be safe and distributed to the american people. it'll be interesting to see what the president has to say about all of that, but as you saw there in the tweet, a couple of other high-profile individuals, azar and hahn, i'll i'll be there for you. leland: unlikely coincidence with dnc and rnc and the same week that the president layed brother to rest.

kevin, great reporting. thank you. kevin: thank you. ♪ ♪ gillian: president trump is planning to make an appearance every single night of the rnc this week. it's going to kick off tomorrow, conclude thursday. lucas tomlinson, that auditorium will be central hub for a lot the events and speakers this week, lucas. lucas: good afternoon, a few blocks from the white house where trump campaign released complete list of speakers, first was launched this morning on fox news sunday by the president's chief of staff. >> joe biden has been in office for over 40 years, politicians give speeches. what we are looking for is action. this president has shown action each and every day. joe biden has barely passed two bills, one of which he's trying to run away from because of the left and when we looked at it, this president accomplished more

in first 100 days than joe biden did in last 40 years. lucas: plans for the convention, on manned presidential nomination by delegates, senator tim scott and steve scalise will be speaking. tuesday land of promise, first lady melania trump and wednesday land of opportunity, vice president mike pence will deliver remarks from fort mchenry, national monument in baltimore made famous in war of 1812 and inspire today write star spangled banner. thursday president trump will speak in keynote address, fourth time this week expected to appear. the president wants more live speeches than we heard last week at the dnc. top republican leaders say the president will be going to tar hill state this week. >> well, he will be in north carolina unlike joe biden who didn't go to wisconsin, the

state where he held his convention. the president has an event planned in asheville, he hasn't confirmed if he will come by charlotte yet but we have the delegates here. lucas: complete list of all gop speakers go to foxnews.com and stay here for the fox news channel for all your latest campaign and gop convention news. gillian. gillian: lukeas thompson -- lucas tomlinson, thank you. leland: steve cortes, great to see you, appreciate you taking the time. i know it's a busy day. how have your overall convention plans changed since watching the past week the democrats? steve: they described an america that i don't know, certainly not

the great country that i live in and love. in contrast, we are going to describe an aspirational and inspirational vision for america with concrete policies on how we make american greatness a reality and how we have done it in first term and how we will do it in a second. leland: you make a good point in terms of how divided america is, wrong track, right track, the way people view what conceivably be nonpartisan issues in partisan way. take, for example, the issue of coronavirus and the number of deaths from the coronavirus. this from our colleagues at cbs news, number of u.s. deaths from coronavirus has been acceptable or unacceptable? republicans say 57% of republicans say acceptable, 43% of republicans say unacceptable whereas 90% of democrats say the number of deaths have been unacceptable, 10% of democrats say acceptable. i'm trying to understand who would think the number of deaths

is acceptable. steve: leland, it's a shame that the pandemic has been politicized. it's been done by the democrats and not our side. i reject the whole premise. silly and insulting question to ask. of course, unacceptable. if you read into that it's clear that it's acceptable in -- in relation to expectations, for example, we were warned that there could be millions of deaths in the united states and on that basis, we are relieved -- never acceptable to have premature but we are relieved it's not as bad as it could have been. i think this is really important. left is playing games trying to act as if things are uniquely or singularly bad in the united states regarding the virus. when we look at the united states versus pure countries, we are doing far better than industrial nations like the uk, belgium, sweden. leland: depends on the metrics. i don't want to get in that

debate. you made your point in terms of the poll. let's just -- per diagnosed case or population on and on. let's not get into this -- go ahead. steve: why do you not want to get into it? leland: i don't have those statistics in front of me whether it's by case rate or diagnosed case or by population. >> steve: i'm saying population. hey, it's your show. leland: your tweet today from kamala harris said this, a reminder that harris is anticatholic bigot, are you now or have you ever been a member of the knights of columbus? steve: yes. leland: is that going to be an issue at the convention this week?

steve: i'm not sure it's highlighted at the convention but it's important for the american people to know this and in that article i give the exact quote from kamala harris when she's on senate judiciary committee, she's on the committee, reviewing the nomination of ryan bush, she went after him in written questions and attacked his catholic faith. she attacked him specifically for being member of knights of columbus, the largest fraternal catholic organization in the world, it helps men the live better lives of faith and to be better husbands and fathers, millions of hours of community service across the country and not just catholics but all people, however, kamala harris saw fit to assault him. it's not only wrong but unethical because the constitutional says there can be no religious litmus test for holding public office in the country. the fact that she chose that line of attack, i think reveals that there's a deep bigotry in her heart and she showed it

publicly and she does not respect those people of faith like bush and me and like millions of americans out there. leland: steve, your passion on that is understandable. as you said it's personal for you that your piece is up in real clear politics and newt gingrich has a similar piece at foxnews.com. we know that you guys will put on quite a show. steve: thank you so much. leland: thank you. gillian: joining us now is democratic strategist al, he served as member of hillary clinton's 2016 campaign on the national finance committee. al, thanks for joining us today, we appreciate having you on hearing your perspective. let's talk first about the week that is behind us, the reviews are in, your candidate, joe biden, got some rave reviews from democrats on his speech on

closing night and even republicans including president trump who told our own steve hilton, it was a pretty decent speech, not a lot of people saying it was terrible, so that's good, but here is the thing, if you go by the ratings and social media interactions, biden wasn't the star of the week, that award goes to michelle obama who had almost 5 times as many interactions on social media as biden did for their speeches, does that worry you? >> al: not really, gillian, i think the president did a great job and he's a decent man and that came through in his speech which is going to be a great contrast this election between biden and the president. and if you go back to cortés comments of kamala harris, you see the path that the republicans are trying to take, tearing down and hatefullness and if you want to apply his standard of bigotry to kamala harris words about catholics, you would have to say he says

it's deep in her heart, you would have to take the president's words and say it's draped over him like a white cloak. if you apply cortés standard of bigotry which i found shameful by the way. gillian: but, al, here is the question, is it enough to be a decent guy as you say, the former vice president is, is it enough to not be a bigot, does that qualify somebody to be commander in chief and serve as the leader of the free world? >> al: absolutely not. of course, he's much more than that. he's a very accomplished former senator, former vice president who helped us get out of recession. no one has been more successful at working with republicans in the congress than joe biden and that's the track record he would bring to the white house. we need someone with a can-do attitude who can work across party lines to bring us out of this mess and donald trump has shown no interest in working

with democrats and prefers to cater to his base and joe biden wants to biden the appeal made to all americans and look after all americans. gillian: so if the party is so proud of joe biden's many decades long record in government, why wasn't that featured or the feature of the convention? why was the talking point over and over again from the mouth of every speaker that took to the diais that president trump was unfit. what matters his is biden himself and his record and his leadership? >> al: well, i think the democrats are anxious, the democrat party is anxious that the same thing that happened in 2016 can happen again and when you roll out business plans an explain them in great detail like secretary did that won't be

enough to roll the dice with president trump, we don't want that to happen again. i think that's a large part of why he was under so much attack. i do think that in the coming days and weeks you will see a greater focus on the economy from biden's campaign, a greater focus on what he plans to do, but last week was about rolling out the notion that he's an acceptable alternative, better alternative and one poised to lead the country into the future and to greatness. gillian: i want to get your response to something that i just got in a few moments ago. we don't have it to put it up in the screen, a quote from a new yorker article that's out today interview with president barack obama. here is a quote from president obama, if you look at joe biden's goals and bernie sanders' goals, they're not that different from a 40,000-foot level, is that helpful? >> al: i guess it depends on the audience. perhaps not the folks watching this show but one example that comes to mind when i hear the quote is that both of them would

like everyone to be covered with health care, joe biden goes about it in a different way, bernie would do medicare for all which joe biden rejects. but biden -- vice president biden would like eventually every american to be covered with health care. this administration at this moment that we are having this discussion is suing in supreme court to take away all the protections to have affordable care act, so i'm happy to have the election debated on health care. i think that's probably the best example. joe biden would like people, another example, to get reimbursed for college. bernie would probably want everyone to be be reimbursed. both of them want to help people and give them more opportunity and leg up to be successful in the country. gillian: right, al, thanks for pinch hitting for us, we have to leave it there. we will talk to you soon. thanks. leland: al always answers the bell when we need him to, we appreciate it another riot in portland saturday night, demonstrators and police clash

in the streets for the 87th straight day. this time it went to residential neighborhoods. we will talk about how the city perhaps is or is not responding to the violence when we come back. of credit card debt. they helped me consolidate all of that into one low monthly payment. they make you feel like it's an honor for them to help you out. i went from sleepless nights to getting my money right. so thank you. ♪

gillian: protests turned violent in portland, rocks, bottles, all getting thrown at officers by demonstrators all of it forcing authorities to, again, declare a riot. matt finn with the latest on that, matt. matt: once again riots and brutal assaults, videos appear woman being punched and knocked to the ground. the police had rocks and hard objects thrown at them. portland police made dozens of arrest friday and saturday. >> this is the portland police bureau, this has been declared unlawful assembly because people are throwing projectiles. matt: last night saturday was the 87th night of unrete in city of portland. yesterday afternoon hundreds of opposing protestors clashed with each other. around noon right-wring group

and various antifa-type counter protestors clashed with those groups and violence broke out around the city, 14 people were arrested in portland last night. police say they confiscated bucket of condoms with unknown fluid and bottle of water with unknown fluid. demonstrators also placed the american flag and protestors chanting black lives matter and video shows opposing groups clashing in portland, assaults caught on tape, police using crowd control agents, portland police say they are investigating criminal acts and are asking witnesses to come forward and in denver, there was also violent demonstrations, a group of up to 100 people gathered outside of police department and set trees on fire, broke windows and threw

fireworks at officers. 9 people were arrested and here in washington in oh limpia, hundreds of protestors gathered yesterday, some supporting black lives matter and others backing the blue, gillian. gillian: matt finn, live in seattle, thank you. leland: we bring in acting dhs ken cuccinelli, there's talks that things are getting worse. >> i don't know if they are getting worse every weekend but this city we had more cities involved. we had this maybe a month as well and it didn't keep expanding but, you know, what concerns me this weekend is you now have opposing groups intentionally showing up in the same places at the same time and clearly the intent is to mix it up and, you know, having been a state attorney general, policing 101, when you have opposing groups is you keep them

separate. leland: portland police, we have different video -- >> that was a complete failure. leland: portland police let them go at it, they didn't have the manpower to keep them apart or let them go at it. the federal courthouse that had been under siege for so long, things moved away from it a little bit, but the bomb threat closed federal courts, same pretext that was used back during rodney king riots but then president h w. bush to call up the marines and declare the act and if federal courts in portland can't operate? ken: well, first of all, this president hasn't taken any actions off the table and that being said, what we are dealing with here is people in the order of hundreds, not like los

angeles in the early 90's with the rodney king riots where it was literally an entire swath of one of america's largest cities, so you're literally dealing with tens of thousands of people potentially violent, and you know, the tragedy here is this is all controllable if the governor would simply continue to back -- or back up, she's pulled out her state police, the local police and bring in her own national guard. she has over 7800 national guardsmen who she refuses to activate to contend with the situation in portland. oregon has the resources to solve this problem and yet they refuse to do it. leland: it would also help -- it would help if they also stopped letting people out with no bail who they have arrested for rioting and assaulting police officers. ken: connect. leland: this video is different

than the past where quote, unquote, protestors, rioters, whatever you want to call them, have not gone just into the sort of downtown area like they did in denver last night but they actually went into neighborhoods and they stopped people from getting home, they were intentionally trying to sort of inflict a very violent and difficult situation on people who are just trying get a good night sleep. at what point, if the governor is not willing to do something and the city police either aren't willing or unable or don't have enough manpower to do it, at what point does the federal government start protecting people who are trying to get a night sleep in their neighborhood and being turned around by groups that come ready for a battle with shields and swords and long things to beat people with? ken: yeah, so the crossing of the residential line is really one of those things that at

least i personally feel like is an important escalation and i mean that in a negative, of course. people's homes are their castles. we saw this in st. louis most famously but this is intentionally intimidating tactic on the part of -- i won't call them protestors because they're intimidating, they are criminals. leland: right. ken: when you have local authorities that won't -- and that's the word here, won't solve the problem and some encourage rioters and criminals, should the federal government step in and as i said, the president hasn't taken any options off the table. i don't think we are going to ever broadcast how we would deal with that, but this is a pathetic failure of local and state officials and -- and -- leland: one of the things in the act would make it impractical to

enforce the law, so people can died from themselves based on -- ken: well, federal law. impractical to enforce the federal law and there's no federal law being broken with people marching through residential areas even if it's sense to intimidate. leland: we have to run but the intimidation in residential barrier is a point that you brought up that things changed over the past couple of weeks. we appreciate the time as always, sir. ken: yeah, good to be with you, leland, have a good weekend. leland: gillian. gillian: universities across the country are now facing outbreaks on campus, many of them pulling the plug sending students home and canceling plans of in-person classes for the semester

gillian: large waves of the south and midwest are trying to constrain coronavirus even total deadly cases continue to decline. this astrotropical storms advance to gulf coast raising concerns for states that will have to fight coronavirus and storms at the same time. aishah hasnie trying to fight this. aishah: 6 states have seen over 10,000 cases in the last 7 days. 11 additional states have had more than 5,000 cases in the last 7 days. georgia has been pretty hit pretty hard here surpassing 5,000 deaths this weekend with 252,000 total confirmed cases. georgia tech fraternity now under lockdown after 17 student members tested positive this weekend. the virus baffling people on the

front lines. >> we don't fully understand what covid is and -- and how it affects us on a day-to-day basis. you know, it's like a ghost basically. you don't know when you're contracting it and you don't know who you're passing it to. aishah: florida is approaching the 600,000 case mark. it would become the second state to do that right after california, however, the daily new cases, dropped significantly in that state since their peak back in july. in texas, state health officials say that there's a backlog of test results in that state which would not only affect the number of new cases but also basically affect the number of how those counties in that state, how they are trending, that could be a troublesome occurrence, the state is behind florida for the total number of cases. now the president plans to unveil a potential breakthrough

therapeutic this evening at 6:00 o'clock press conference tonight. he also said earlier this month americans could see a vaccine before tend of the year and, gillian, there are a number of vaccines in their last and final phase, the human trials so the world is waiting and watching, gillian. gillian: aishah hasnie in new york city, thank you. leland: because of coronavirus big ten and pack 12 postponed season, 35 by last count, but the sec is still playing football for now, hall of fame football coach wearing the blue and gold of notre dame. is the irish still going to play this fall, coach? >> the irish will play and the pack 12 won't play because of ban put on them, the week before

they wanted percentage of revenue. the pack 12 said we can't open ourselves up to that vulnerability so we just don't play. the other 3 conferences, asc and fsc. leland: big ten parents want their kids to play as well and outside of headquarters, take a listen. we need a response. >> the situation with the big ten, the lack of transparency is a problem for parents. parents have the best interest for the kids in mind. our kids are grown men and they can make their own decisions if they want to play or don't want to play. >> you're talking about hundreds of thousands of cases. i want to know one thing how many are hospitalized. there have been over 300 positive cases. with that, the league tested

positive but not a single one of them has been hospitalized. they are going to have the flu, they are going to have the virus and it is dangerous but not as near as dangerous for young people. the unfortunate people look at it like it's cancer. they are less people die under the age 20 from covid than influenza new years ago. leland: that's governor of mississippi where football is next to god only in terms of concerns, here is the tweet he put up. long tweet and we will skip to third page. we are in the middle of a pandemic and we have to make sacrifices that are painful and we also have to try to provide a safe environment for life as we know it in some capacity. there are many people whose lives are challenged because of -- larger change because of sports, they never get an education otherwise. will college athletics ever look the same to your point, we try to manage sickness among college athletes to zero?

>> i don't know if the country will be exactly the same. you know, so many times to be a leader you have to look at it from both points of view. i had to look at it from a player's point of view and doctors only look at it from their point of view. one person is going to die and we have to do anything. the numbers on month of may was more than last year, you look at economic hardship on people, i've been quarantined for 7 months. my wife passed away two months ago but it wasn't from covid and it was long-term illness, from cancer, when in the world is it going to end. i just think that sometime don't keep me alive from preventing me from living. let me live my life. leland: hold on, coach, you make a good point. these aren't professional athletes and we know baseball players and others made the choice to play or not to play. these are students. isn't there a level of care that is entrusted to the coaches and to the universities to perhaps keep students from making decisions that are putting them

at risk? >> i don't know of any coach that hasn't forced an athlete to play. every coach -- every team, the young man can keep scholarship if he choses not to play. leland: i apologize. i'm up against a hard break, but the point you made is an understandable one and we haven't gotten a chance to talk since your wife passed away, our condolences, sir. >> thank you for having me. leland: we will have you back as the season gets underway. as we talk about summer coming to an end, college students even nonathletes are heading back to campus if there is a campus. and sometimes they're creating their own parties even if there's not classes on campus, what does that mean for local communities when we come back?

(door bell rings) it's ohey. this is amazing. with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, are you okay? even when i was there, i never knew when my symptoms would keep us apart. so i talked to my doctor about humira.

i learned humira can help get, and keep uc under control when other medications haven't worked well enough. and it helps people achieve control that lasts. so you can experience few or no symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible. gillian: fall semester underway at dozens of colleges and universities nationwide, the students are happy to be there but as they pour onto campuses

from across the country many of the local communities that house them are not as thrilled. so joining us now to talk about this is mayor of state college pennsylvania ron and illinois state senator john, ron, i want to start to you first. upenn has had fraternities hosting maskless and hundreds of kids running around without ppe on, tell us how folks in your community are feeling about this? >> i think there's a great deal of anxiety in the community, gillian, we are a university town, pretty much dependent on p enn state academically and residents throughout the year are pen nerving state students so we are not a very big town and you can imagine the impact when just north of 40,000 students arrive as they have

this weekend, during the last week more or less. there's a great deal of anxiety among the -- the residents of state college, if you want to put it that way, permanent residents, students are residents too but i'm talking now about the permanent residents, so, yeah, i think that the university has done a great job in trying to prepare for this. they've worked very hard but that, you know, fingers crossed, this is a grand experiment and we will -- we will see what happens. gillian: yeah. grand experiment not just for you guys but for the students but for the entire country. john, you guys have this pretty unique as i understand it covid -- it's a rapid diagnostic saliva test that you're using for students in the state, are you having success with that? john: yes, i'm proud of my alma mater of illinois, approved saliva test with rapid results

and coupled with the scale and frequency of their testing program and encompassing the entire champagne urbana community beyond the school and they are setting the model for creating a safe, in-person, on-campus learning environment so very proud of the work that the university of illinois. i'm not surprised they are leading cutting edge research facility but it really is a model that needs to be scaled out across the country. gillian: ron, are you guys doing any kind of testing at penn state and what kind of -- >> ron: the university has done paramount of testing already before students arrived on campus. some -- i don't know the exact number but i think some 30,000 students have been tested at home. students from hot spots, from states that, you know, are

having a serious problems, keep in mind that a major university like penn state draws students from all over the country, all over the world so it's a great deal of attention being paid to that, so that's been done. when the students arrive, the university will be testing every day a sample of students and the university as i said has prepared corridors for quarantining and done just about everything that you can do in my opinion to, you know, to -- if you're going -- the decision to open was the big decision, they decided to open although a lot of the classes, perhaps the majority of classes will be on line but students will be here and that doesn't change much for the town. the town is the same whether or not courses are online or face to face. gillian: yeah. john, quick last word for you,

we only have a few second left here, how are you feeling of cancellation of college football? john: you know, i'm really disappointed for the student athletes, they will have a difficult time. fall athletes watching peers compete, who better than the university of illinois and the big ten with cutting research to provide a safe environment for student athletes compete and i share the disappointment. gillian: thank you so much, i would love to talk to you more about this in coming weeks and months, we will reach out, thank you. >> thank you, gillian. leland: president trump in charlotte for tomorrow's kickoff of rnc, mark meredith. mark: leland, good afternoon to you, the republican national convention is about to quick off but this will not look like any convention that we have seen before. i am on the ground in charlotte and i will tell you what we can
