1:17 am
the declaration allows them fema and federal government as well. with every disaster always local planning and preparedness. it is not new as you heard from janice dean following a similar path as farther inland people will have to -- significant rain will occur, floating between texas and louisiana. to be prepared for that. rob: our prayers are with the people of texas and louisiana. eric trump slamming the far left agenda of the democrats saying they want to defund those disrespecting law enforcement. how worried are you those far left policies are not only taking over america but could be seeping into texas as well. >> we counter with renew,
1:18 am
restore and rebuild. the sharpest contrast for me the night before, significant testimony, the president signing a right to try bill, previous convention, we heard the candidate talk about what is coming and this president who says i will get you what you need. i will remove the restrictions that prevent you from trying, when you're in trouble with something, you have the difference between a candy president and the candidate. we can't have that. jillian: i want to get your opinion on this. they focused on mike pompeo's speech last night as night 2 of the rnc, representative walking castro announcing an investigation into this. a lot of people take issue, this
1:19 am
was done with him as a person, as a private citizen. what do you say about this. >> a novel approach. investigation of this administration. we have never seen that before. if there's any disagreement with this president, to launch a major congressional investigation. and i don't see that a major congressional investigation is wanted, necessary or a political ploy. >> we appreciate your time. >> 19 after the hour. hillary clinton sending a message to joe biden as the

1:30 am
respond to joe biden and kamala harris's criticism that donald trump's administration was casting darkness and the rnc has been a dark week so far and here's what she had to say. >> democrats and joe biden and kamala harris, the most stylish radical socialist ticket in the history of politics want to in their own words fundamentally change america, they want to take us on a path toward socialism, full government control. it is not the america we've always known and loved. it would be a very different country and i don't know we could recover from a biden harris ticket if they were to win. >> reporter: as someone who has some insight on the campaign's thinking and operations i asked what they could accomplish this week at the convention. >> we are trying to be inspirational and hopeful from the trump campaign and with this convention we want people to leave this convention inspired
1:31 am
and excited about the future of america. i didn't get that sense from the democrats last week. that is our hope at the end of this week. >> reporter: it will be fascinating to see what she has to say and the big speech from mike pence and sharon pens at fort mchenry in baltimore, a site chosen because it was the site of the war of 1812 when francis scott key did the star-spangled banner. todd: very symbolic, thank you. jillian: the convention striking a different tone and conventions passes everyday men and women take center stage in the political process. todd: victor davis hanson points out the shift in the republican party under trump is one that better represents the american worker. >> this is not the party of john mccain and mitt romney anymore. they would never have a
1:32 am
convention where people were talking about the opiate crisis or workers in the midwest or the need to confront china or the immigration challenge head on. it is more of a populist workers party. i am for capital gains reduction and privatizing social security but those are not the issues today and they are not talking about those things. that is an aristocratic party, this is a working party. todd: one of the most memorable moments donald trump welcoming five illegal immigrants to the white house to become us citizens. >> you follow the rules, obey the laws, learn your history, embrace our values, and the most prized, treasured, cherished and priceless possession anywhere in the world called american citizenship. jillian: does this disprove the less narrative that republicans are anti-immigrant, it rnc rising star joins us with his unique perspective.
1:33 am
thank you for being here, appreciate it. tell me how big a moment that was last night. >> we -- i am praying for the state of texas and the people of louisiana for this hurricane, i hope everyone is staying safe and my prayers are with them. in terms of last night it was an incredible moment, what the american dream is all about. and immigrant living in the united states, it is an honor and privilege to be a citizen of the united states of america, the greatest country on earth, a beautiful moment, an incredible moment, just thankful and i congratulate the immigrants who are now united states citizens. todd: the president describing one of the latest us citizens, take a listen. >> robert martin ramirez
1:34 am
outcomes are is from bolivia and has been a lawful permanent resident of the united states since 2013 starting his own business, a construction company that now employs five workers, soon you will have hundreds of employees. todd: do you see this moment swaying any voters? >> absolutely especially with the hispanic community. the hispanic community, especially immigrants, we work hard and he is what the american dream is all about, a small business owner starting your own company. at the end of the day hispanics and immigrants, american prosperity, this president provided this in the last four years and i know covid-19 has happened, the pandemic has happened but i bet you and guarantee you, continues to talk about economic progress and immigrants and hispanics across
1:35 am
the country definitely resonate. jillian: let's talk about milania trump getting high remarks for her >> what she had to say in the rose garden specifically about becoming an american citizen and making her american dream come true. take a listen. >> i arrived in the united states when i was 26 years old. i studied for the test in 2006 and became an american citizen. i understand what a privilege it is to live here and to enjoy the freedom and opportunity we have. jillian: a real people who will continue to knock her down but this was a powerful moment. tell me what you think of what she had to say. >> she's living the american dream. someone who came from another country can be an american and here she is, first lady of the united states of america.
1:36 am
it doesn't get better than that. he has been an incredible first lady, taken that role with love and grace and patience and so much kindness so to see her as an immigrant be the first lady let you know anything can be anything they want, you work hard, put your faith in god and you believe in freedom, anything can happen, doesn't matter where you come from, if you're an american, or you need to do is put god, family and freedom behind you. todd: thank you for your insights this morning. jillian: hurricane laura strengthening to a category 2 storm is a store texas and louisiana. todd: mandatory evacuations are underway right now. >> reporter: the message from local officials this morning, board up and get out.
1:37 am
here is the texas governor. >> people anywhere near where the eye of the hurricane will come ashore will need to be very aware of this high water surge because it could easily sweep you away. >> reporter: holly beach was devastated in hurricane rita 15 years ago. look at the before and after photos, houses by the beach in 2001, then just after rita nothing. we talked to local deputy who says most residents are getting on those evacuation buses and taken far in land. the hour long drive from lake charles, there are a few that are sticking around. >> someone has to stay behind to watch the elders that can't move, the facilities the can't move. if you can get out safely i would do it. like i said, some of the cowboys got to stay behind and protect the heard.
1:38 am
jillian: hurricane laura could bring 13 foot storm surge to holly beach. this house in theory could be fine when it comes to storm surge but you have to remember the winds. they are predicting could hit with 120 mile-per-hour winds, stronger than rita and you saw what that storm did. todd: you can plan as much as you want but mother nature will do what she wants. thank you, please be safe. jillian: 38 after the hour, mike pompeo says four years of donald trump will make america even safer. todd: skinner reacts to the unprecedented speech coming up next. weats. find your friends. find your sense of wander. find the world is new, again. at chevy we'd like to take you there. now during the chevy open road sales event, get up to 15% of msrp cash back on select 2020 models.

1:42 am
tensions grow along israel's border. >> reporter: us secretary of state mike pompeo did meet with the crown prince of the rain this morning. he's headed to the uae to discuss the normalization of ties with us ally israel as part of a multi-country tour of the middle east. mike pompeo met with sudanese leadership, he and the prime minister discussed the possibility of removing sudan from the state sponsor of terror list as part of deal to normalize relations with israel. sudan faces heavy sanctions as a result of being on that list. donald trump's son-in-law jared kushner will visit the reason for peace talks in the coming days. it was announced yesterday kushner and the delegation will take the first ever commercial flight from israel to the uae. the flight will leave on monday and an israeli team will promote medical, technological and
1:43 am
diplomatic advancements between the countries. kushner's visit comes amid ongoing tension not only on the israel gaza border but also the israel lebanon border. overnight the israelis struck targets in lebanon and gaza amid tension in a security situation. todd: mike pompeo taking time to address the rnc. >> i have a big job as susan's husband and nick's dad. susan and nick are more safe and their freedoms more secure because donald trump has put his america first vision into action delivering on the duty to keep us safe and our freedoms intact. this president has led bold initiative in every corner of the world. todd: the speech is stirring controversy, it did lay out the foreign-policy accomplishment of this administration. senior advisor to mike pompeo joins me to react which is mike pompeo correct? is the usa for because of donald
1:44 am
trump? >> i actually agree because the president has delivered on key objectives that he outlined in the 2016 campaign long before he had foreign-policy advisors and the secretary of state and put it together in a way that we haven't nato alliance despite the difficulties we had with our european partners and those -- it continues to exist. we have a growing kind of euro of nato communities, gold states that partnered with the united states and israel against the terrorist supporting regime in tehran. when you look around the globe the united states has a set of regional partnerships that were in their infancy or didn't exist at all when donald trump became president. i think a lot of the credit for
1:45 am
the various foreign-policy items mike pompeo mentioned should be given to donald trump himself. i was struck by the fact that most of them originated in the white house not the state department, not the defense department. rob: there's a ton of pushback from democrats to this speech. listen to a little bit of it. >> the fact that a sitting secretary of state would give a speech like this is flat-out disgraceful. >> the secretary himself cautioned employees at the state department that they should not be engaged in any partisan activity because they work for the state department. todd: are these criticisms justified? >> i bank that is an important question to ask. there is something called the hatch act and the secretary let the state employees now, they
1:46 am
can't be involved in presidential political campaigns and i think leadership starts at the top. it will be helpful for mike pompeo to explain to the state department employees in the nation why he felt he could use his personal capacity to make an important speech at a convention. it explains why this is outside of this, the rules that he embraces for his employees would be helpful and also would support the president because leadership is about being consistent with what you do, providing an example to follow you. jillian: it will be interesting to see the response from the secretary of state in the coming days, thank you very much. jillian: a high school teen demonized in the media standing
1:47 am

protesters in dc, showing full confronting a woman eating at a restaurant demanding she raise her fist in solidarity. demonstrators were part of a black lives matter much, the woman telling the washington post she supports the movement but since she felt, quote, under attack. jillian: covington high school student nick sandman tearing into the mainstream media for coverage of the center of this interaction, what he thinks of cancel culture. >> >> the target of network and cable news networks. what is happening to me had a name. it was call being canceled. i would not be canceled. >> joining me with reaction, your reaction to that. >> nicholas sandman, not long ago, just last year, sued cnn
1:52 am
for $250 million each and settled with both of those news organizations because coverage of him was so blatantly dishonest saying he had attacked a native american elder. you see the video, he's trying to defuse the situation, he didn't say a word but because he was wearing a amaga hat that was his crime in the media was going to take them down. he has settled on those lawsuits and the fact that we see two things, one in the new york times, talking about sandman previewing rnc speakers last night nicholas sandman, teenager involved in a confrontation with a native american man at a protest, that is all they say about him, not that he sued those news organizations but also you have former clinton white house press secretary joe lockhart say this on twitter last night. i am watching tonight because it is important but i don't have to
1:53 am
watch this snubnosed entitled kid from kentucky as if the network has learned nothing, you can't just attack a teenager for no reason. you see between on the screen. he's getting the last laugh and the fact you have worth -- former press secretary to her now political analyst attacking him shows they just don't get it. jillian: are we too quick to cancel right now? >> i want to cancel cancel culture? can we do that? it is the problem with social media, everybody can share their innermost feelings at any moment and these things go viral in a hurry and before you know it you have these businesses or certain corporations that panic because for five minutes something trends on twitter. i look at the goya ceo who said something nice about donald trump as he said something nice about president obama not long ago, he said i'm not going to apologize, you're not going to cancel me and he is still the
1:54 am
ceo of a new jersey-based committee, don't apologize if you feel you're in the right and too many people feel they have to because the mob is coming after them and that the only way to appease them with apologies get you nowhere anyway. jillian: someone else took a shot at the media, tiffany trump talking about misinformation, take a listen. >> people must recognize our thoughts are being manipulated and coerced rather than allowing americans the right to form our own base, this misinformation system keeps people mentally enslaved to ideas they deem correct. jillian: how are we better at this so we are not coming out and canceling kids and not giving misinformation too quickly because we live in a society because of the evolution of twitter and social media everything is instantaneous, everyone wants to be the first to have the information or give out the facts or what they think are the facts, how are we better, how do we better
1:55 am
ourselves? >> we have to be better, everyone wants to be first instead of being accurate, the foundation had a pulled out that was so telling and speaks to what tiffany trump was talking about. 84%, 8 in 10 americans think the media divides the country instead of informs the country. 86% thinks it is biased, 72% of american since 1976 trusted the media. that has been turned on its head. i wish we could be better but seems to be getting worse because of the point you made, social media being first instead of accurate and the fact we are so tribal in terms of putting opinion instead of fact is a big problem. it is wednesday, big morning exercise guy. jillian: it is important, thank you as always. good to see you. todd: exciting to hear the activity.
