>> all right. think where we are last week at this time. joe biden's still very much in the race and then he withdraws from the race and now we have a new person on top of that democratic ticket, herself looking for someone to balance out that ticket so that search goes on. donald trump goes on with j.d. vance right now, controversy there, whether j.d. vance was the right pick and most could be hedged to donald trump. and when it comes to statistically, things have drastically changed. the campaign takes a whole new meaning today. and madison in st. cloud, minnesota and one right now targeted by both candidates. what's the latest, madison. >> hey, neil, that's targeted by both candidates and trump has the event in st. cloud later this afternoon and the line stretches really around the block and people got here as early as 3 p.m. yesterday to

start getting in line. but the reality is, minnesota, it's a blue state. so take a look at the polling that we have. this is coming out after biden dropped out of the race and harris rose to the likely nominee spot. you see that harris has over 50% likability with minnesota voters. keep in mind, minnesota has voted blue since 1976 when it comes to president, but these voters here are very pro trump. even women we know is a group that trump has historically struggled with. i've met wonderful people like judith. we were chatting and we know that trump is behind harris in the poll especially with women voters in minnesota. as a woman why are you trump. >> i go to the grocery store and gas prices they're tied together and on the border issue, harris was a pivot person for that. she was the point person to be in charge for that and bringing them over economically, it is

not going to be good and physically will not be good for my children and grandchildren and i fear for their safety and their well-being. >> thank you so much. we have lori here, also from minnesota and you voted for trump the last elections and you plan for voting for him in november. why are you supporting president trump again? >> because of his policies and he has shown that he can lead in strength and peacefully. and he knows how to take care of the economy, our border is in disarray and he will lead us back again to prosperity. >> thank you so much. and we do know the economy is huge for voters. trump leads on that issue. kamala harris has avoided it in her speeches since becoming the likely nominee. i do want to bring in joe now, you're here with your daughter. you guys were camping two hours away when you heard about this. why did you-- you said the rally two weeks ago is part of the reason you want to come here. >> absolutely. >> what was the reasoning

behind that with you and your daughter and wanting to come here. >> i wanted her to see what this is about and want her to see what trump is about and the car that biden's driving, we need-- the driver that's going to take over, we need to polish that car and soup it up get the economy going and border going, she's not right. we've heard, neil, even though kamala is likely the top of the ticket and voters feel she's similar to joe, and at least with this crowd voting in november. back to you. neil: thank you for that. when we talk about the economy, certainly a big issue, but the issue that's dominant on so many american's mind, the border, what's going on on the border. griff jenkins has more, joining us out of washington. griff: hey, neil. democrats want to change the narrative and they've got talking points which fox has obtained contending that vp harris was not the border czar,

arguing her roll was limited to the root causes of migration and mexico and northern triangle countries and it's clear they got this at the white house. >> she is not a border czar, it's not just us. independent fact checkers said the same thing that that did not exist and that that is not true. griff: the bullet points came from chairwoman of the congressional hispanic caucus, neil. she posted peter doocy questioning her about it. and the republican waste of time resolution they've put on the floor this week, but not all democrats are on board. six joint house republicans in passing that resolution, which condemned harris as a failed border czar. so, neil, let's take a look at the numbers. according to the cb pp date yea, illegal crossings that harris was put in charge of, stemming from mexico, honduras, it's 30%

higher than owl eight years under obama. and finally, neil, these numbers doesn't account for the known gotaways, more than 1.6 million under the biden-harris administration and those are the ones that officials worry the most about, neil. neil: well put, my friend. looking more on the air with griff jenkins. thank you, griff. as griff pointed out it's the ones who got away, a big worry for the fbi director. take a look at this. >> i am increasingly concerned that foreign terrorists could seek to exploit vulnerabilities at our southwest border or at other ports of entry, or in other aspects of our immigration system to facilitate an attack here in the united states. i think that's something we have to be concerned about.

neil: i always think when i have lieutenant chris olivares on, when i hear authorities speaking like that that they're still holding back details which they're quite familiar, as would chris be, that chris, he's essentially saying very dangerous people are here as we speak. do you agree with that? >> well, good morning, neil. absolutely. we've known that, neil. we've talked about that, you and i the past two and a half years during the interviews and the threat, how the current border situation is more than mass migration, it's more than people turning themselves in to border patrol agents and processed and get into the country. it's the got-aways, the unknown got-awas, those threats that we face in our country because we have an unsecured border and it's very real. it's a reality of the situation, the fact of the matter is that we have not experienced a catastrophic situation as of yet, but that does not mean that we're out of the clear.

because when you have millions of people coming across that border unvetted, unchecked, and released into the country to include got-aways, to include unknown got-awas. there's no telling when a situation will happen in our country because of that, because of those threats, because of that irresponsibility of our federal government in trying-- in helping to secure our border, which they refuse to do. >> the president in his address to the american people earlier this week, chris, spoke of real progress at the border down to a trickle now, i'm paraphrasing. is it down to a trickle and why is it down to a trickle? others tell me that it could be just the weather and the heat and this is the time of year where it's dangerous to put it mildly, but your thoughts? >> well, there's a lot of factors involved, neil. i think it's disinagainous disingenuous, and where were they when we've seen the most

catastrophic unmitigated disaster at the border, to new got-aways, drugs, fentanyl, criminal gangs across the border, where have they been the last three and a half years. you cannot take a victory lap now since january and claim that you have taken action to secure the border when they could have done that from day one. they could have prevented so many tragedies the last three and a half years. so many families could have their loved ones today. what we've done in texas the last three and a half years has resulted in a catastrophic shift to the west, arizona, san diego, california, where we see now an influx of illegal border crossings because no one wants to cross in texas. we've made it much more difficult to cross into texas because we have physical barriers and consequences and we are arresting them.

and a shift next november and next year depending if we have a change in leadership, but we still maintain our presence on the border and we have not slowed down. we're going to continue to, you know, fortify areas along the border and continue to make arrests until we have a secure border. neil: you know, chris, while i have you here. i want your take on this bizarre, you know, arrest of these two cartel members and big wigs from mexico and included apparently is el chapo's son who arranged this in the united states. what do you make of it? >> well, it's a critical arrest by federal authorities, obviously, this is to the high ranking leader of the sinaloa cartel, one of the founders. one thing about all of these when we have these high profile arrests and even with el chapo in 2016, it did not change out the outscape or the outlook of the cartel. there will be a realigning of

the cartel within the leadership, but because you still have two sons from el chapo who are within the cartel. a son from el balo who was arrested. and you may see some inviting between the sons to try to gain control of the cartel. this is going to have zero impact as far as on the border and zero impact on fentanyl production and fentanyl coming across our borders, but we can expect to see some significant changes within the cartel leadership and we may even see an increase in narcotics across the border if there's violence between the sons on the cartel. neil: none of this goes away because a couple of cartel chie chieftains. thank you, chris olivares. there are some democrats with

the inroads that kamala harris have been making regret the fact that this is rushed. the boston globe, it would have been better to have a contest to see who would replace on the top of the democratic ticket. a congressman to see whether he agrees with that. the chase mo. hellooo new apartment. one bank for now. for later. for life. chase. make more of what's yours.

hi, i'm kevin and i've lost 152 pounds on golo. i decided to give golo a try. taking the release supplement i noticed a change within the first week and each month the weight just kept coming off. with golo you can keep the weight off. >> all right. kamala harris might be off and running in this whole debate over who is going to succeed joe biden at the top of the ticket is over. it's not going down with everybody. this boston globe editorial sums up the view of many that this was a mistake, that it was rushed, premature. and i want to go to massac massachusetts congressman jake auchincloss whether he agrees with that. i'm sure you've heard variations, we rushed this, yes, a great deal more enthusiasm for kamala harris among the base than there was for joe biden and maybe a sign

it's working, but others are still angry about it. are you? >> no. and good morning, neil. thanks for having me on. i agree that we should have an open and transparent-- i agree we should have an open and transparent process. kamala harris agreed. she said she wants to win and earn the nomination and within about 24 hours her top half dozen would-be competitors would endorse her. she can't apologize for winning fast. it's politics and everyone competes hard and the reason she won closed the enthusiasm gap that was existing within the democratic base relative to the republican base. just as kamala harris is full steam ahead uniting the democratic party, donald trump introduced j.d. vance and he insulted women who can't have

children or jennifer aniston as disgusting. i would offer your message to j.d. vance that jennifer aniston is disgusting, you, sir, have lost the narrative. neil: you're right a bumpy start and puts added pressure on kamala harris who she picks as number two not to suffer the same fate. a lot of this goes back to social media or prior appearances, and vet candidates considered be more scrutinized and maybe the trump team knew all of this and didn't scrutinize enough. how important is that? do you even when you frame your visits or go somewhere, now, some day down the road someone could pull this and humiliate me? >> neil, with respect, this isn't a couple of mischosen words by j.d. vance, this is a theme. he's a maga shape shifter, he doesn't appear to have any real political beliefs except for

the deep-seated denigration of woman and stood against rape and incest for abortion, against in vitro fertilization, insulted women trying to get a family and mean when gets pushed on it. how hard would it have been to say to jennifer aniston, i empathize toward your journey for a family and we want to help women who wants kids with a subsidized tax credit, no, he calls her disgusting. this fits into a pattern republicans have with disrespect for women and donald trump bragged about sexual assault and found liable with-- >> and i guess what i'm asking, i see where you're coming, i'm not going to adjudicate vance, he can explain. he was talking whether there should be special credits for those who have children and

morphed into some of this craziness, but let me get your take on kamala harris to avoid at that kind of dust-up, whether justified or not. are there many among the candidates she is supposedly considering you like and could add to the ticket? >> well, i'm not privy to kamala harris' internal conversations or vetting so i'm not going to presume who is on the short list. the democratic party has a terrific bench of talent. people who can go out as candidates or frankly as surrogates talking about lowering costs for americans, making housing more affordable and lowering the cost of prescription drugs. neil: do any of these names-- i'm sorry, congressman, but do any of these names, mark kelly of arizona, josh shapiro, roy cooper, do any of them say to you that completes a good ticket right there? >> it's a wealth of talent. and this is going to be up to who kamala harris feels she has

a bond with. neil: okay. >> who she thinks can help balance the ticket and deliver that 270th electoral vote. and i have great confidence in her on that, regardless who she chooses. much more compelling than trump and j.d. vance and want to defund the fbi, and insulted police officers active duty or retired and they're digging a hole and bringing the tent in as opposed to expanding it on the republican side. neil: all right. well, people can quibble with some of those descriptions, but i did want to get your take on what not only this boston globe editorial laments the fact there wasn't a process, you're right they never got the chance because the potential candidates rallied around kamala harris, but a big donor in your party drew the line right there and said i'm out of here. i want your reaction to this. >> you get the pick the best players on the team, and we're playing fantasy basketball. we would pick in one second all

of us, probably, lebron james. well, we have that type of opportunity, when i say we, the democratic party, has that type of opportunity, but seem to be squandering it by taking a lesser pick. i don't understand that. neil: you know, and lebron james, he doesn't know, but it wasn't kamala harris so he's out as far as giving money. what do you make of that? >> donors don't get to decide, voters get to decide and come november-- >> he's saying that voters didn't get that chance, congressman. he's saying that voters didn't get that chance. >> well, in fact, they did. and here is how it works, 14 million democratic primary voters voted for the biden-harris ticket to be the nominee when biden steps aside those delegates are unbound, free to choose whom they prefer. they chose harris and that's exactly the rules of the democratic party's election system and i think it's pretty rich for republicans to be casting out on the integrity

the process after what they did on january 6th in pursuit of the big lie. they're bankrupt on their credibility on that front. kamala harris is going to win this election because she's going to speak to the median american voters in the swing battle ground states on two fundamental issues, one at rule of law and her respect for it and two, lowering costs in this economy. neil: okay. so for now, am i okay putting you down as a maybe on donald trump or what? [lau [laughter] >> all in for kamala. neil: got it. all right, seriously, very good having you on, i appreciate it. >> you, too, thanks. neil: okay. in the meantime, you've seen what's going on across the country, it's getting hot again and they're having these massive wildfires, but that wasn't a natural development in california that was man made, after this. ethan! how's my favorite client? great! i started using schwab investing themes,

>> all right. you've got some nasty weather across the country. of course, these forest fires in california are widening, getting worse. that wasn't entirely mother nature there, more on that in a second. what's going on in the rest of the country is maybe a preview of continuing attractions. rick reichmuth following it all. >> we've had a hot summer and breaking records. the heat across the west have allowed things to dry out fast. we've had a lot of moisture the last two years, so it's not a drought issue, the moisture, not allowed the grass to grow and then the really high temperatures dried everything out again and spawned the fires. we had 260 fires, especially into the pacific northwest and there's one fire specifically, actually in parts of northern

california, park fires start this had week and is up 307,000 acres burned. a before and after, i want to point out the houses there, look at post fire, everything is burned, but the houses fared pretty well and it's because they've cleared out the brush from close to their house. this is something you can do to protect your house when these potential fires are coming, it's good to always do, keep the dry brush any dead tree limbs, stuff cleared out from around your house and you can protect your house if a fire gets in toward your area. we'll be watching the smoke and it will have impact from people's health, anybody who is sensitive who has respiratory issues for air quality. air quality is bad because of the fires. and the tropics, we are in a season normally we don't have a lot of activity, the meaty part of the season begins a couple

of weeks from now and look at the water temperatures, the entire atlantic basin is watching temperatures above average, because of that, we still think we're going to have an incredibly active season and even though we've had a few weeks of depressed activity. the reason for that has been dust. the dust comes off of northern africa and moves across the atlantic. where you have that dust you don't see much chance of any kind of tropical development generally. look at this right here, this little break between the dust. we have one disturbance out there right now, the tropics looking like they could be coming back alive, and by next weekend it could be matching the little spot that doesn't have the dust and if that happens, we could see some sort of a tropical development. we have plenty of time to watch this which we'll do right here with fox and keep you abreast of this. we're about to get into the busy part of the season, neil. i think we'll see the tropics come alive the next couple of weeks. july is the normal time we have the saharan dust, and that's

when we see the activity pick up at that point, neil. neil: after mid august into september, that things really start to escalate. >> mid august to say october 10th-ish and most of the hurricane activity and we expect it to be an active time. neil: you've been saying. thank you, rick for that. and a lot of people saying when it comes to the campaign, how is this going to affect the economy and the markets. the markets aren't so keyed into the campaign just yet, not that donald trump isn't important to them or that kamala harris isn't important to them and how they all sort that out. there's a guy that's important, even for the time being, that would be jerome powell, the chairman of the federal reserve and kenny, great to have you. he sets the rates and that's important to the money guys, right? >> he certainly does.

he's been preparing the markets for a rate cut come september, not in july. we'll hear that on wednesday at about 2 p.m. when the fomc meeting finishes and he comes out and does a press concerns and hear that they're probably setting the markets up for a rate cut in september. so, it's going to be interesting, the market fully expects it. in my mind, the market fully expects three rate cuts, september, november and dec december. way overdone and the economy is fine where it is, 25 basis points isn't going to impact it. if you cut it three times, maybe sending a message to the markets, one where you see the economy faltering and that's going to be a definite different message in an economy that remains robust so we can cut rates. depends how he says or how he presents it. >> you know, i'm glad you mention that, because i sometimes think there's a lot of anticipation of a rate cut

and selling on the fact for fear that maybe the fed is conceding something that, the slowdown is on and something worse. we got hints of that with a number of airlines talking about slowing business. and some who were hinting retailers and the like, that the consumers are getting pinched. that's not a universal sentiment and we still see strong job growth and the like, inflation numbers coming down from highs. they're still high so i'm wondering how that first rate cut will be received. >> well, again, it's going to be how he presents it. how he says it. how the market interprets it. people don't necessarily hear what somebody says, they hear what they want to hear versus what they're saying. again, if powell presents as if the economy is strong, we remain robbrobust. and we're tweaking the rate.

tweaking by 75 points, is a different message. one that he's concerned where the economy is going versus what people want to hear that the economy is strong. i think that's going to be the line that he has to walk, so he's going to be very, very careful how he chooses his words and how he then presents it going forward. and in the end, the market is already expecting at least two, if not three rate cuts. so, in my mind, i think you could actually see the market pull back. >> all right. well, we'll watch it closely. very good seeing you again. and i do want you to alert something coming from senator chris coons, big backer, leading the reelect biden. coming off cbs this morning saying a lot of democrats backing joe biden are angry and hurt, his words, by this repeated calls to end the campaign, that that is not going down well among a good portion of the particularly older democrats who like joe a lot and don't like the way he was treated. we have mentioned that here and

this issue of loyalty and whether it could boomerang on the new ticket trying to get going, but chris coons saying and acknowledging a lot of those voters are, indeed, not happy. stay with us. n a home and neey for your family? newday usa can help. veterans have earned a lot of va benefits with their service, but the va home loan benefit is a big one. by using your benefit at newday you can borrow up to 100% of your home's value and take out an average of $70,000. use that money to pay off high rate debt and get back on your feet financially.

>> you might find this hard to believe. they are still cleaning up in washington d.c. after protesters were doing their best to disrupt benjamin

netanyahu and his appearance in congress, to a joint meeting of congress. i think they call it joint meeting rather than session. that's the linguistics, but no one has been spoken to congress more breaking winston churchill's record. and some say it's a waste of time having him. and madeleine rivera, life following that and cleanup after that. >> hi, neil, the u.s. attorney's office in d.c. charging eight people from the anti-israel protests in the nation's capital, three with carrying a dangerous weapon, and against a police officer and one charged with making threats. and dropping lower charges in 11 cases for protesters alleged to have crossed a police line, incited violence and causing unreasonable fear. an official from the d.c. ag's office tells fox when making charging decisions, prosecutors weigh factors like the ability

to prove a particular case in court, or a person's prior record. still, this will likely give more ammo for republicans on capitol hill who already accuse prosecutors in d.c. of being too lenient. >> d.c. is not doing enough to prevent carjackings. d.c. is not doing enough to prevent this kind of i think embarrassing behavior. >> several democrats are defending free speech, but say it should never extend to violence and vandalism adding those who commit crimes should face consequences. >> we do not want to stoke fear or hate in any form and so, we cannot have that. we cannot have the burning of flags. we can't have the calling of violence towards any group of people. >> everyone has a right to free speech. it's not the kind of speech that i would participate in, but you know, we should always, you know, peacefully protest. that's something that i would never do. >> because this is an ongoing investigation, more charges

could be filed in the coming days, neil. neil: thank you for that, madeleine in washington. and i want to go back to the former ambassador to the united nations, next month the israeli ambassador to the u.n. so, danny, always good to have you and i'm wondering what you made of this. not so much the protests outside. i think your government, our government was prepared for that, didn't really have the man and woman power to deal with that, but it is sadly what it is. but the way benjamin netanyahu had to go to obviously president biden, to go to kamala harris, to go to donald trump, he covered all of his bases, but it was the meeting with kamala harris that generated the most controversy and anger on netanyahu's part, much being said that some of the stuff that she claimed in a public press remark after that

one-on-one, she never said to him in that one-on-one. what do you make of that? >> if you look at the visit, a successful visit with president netanyahu, a very powerful speech in the house and the meeting with the president, the vice-president, and the president trump and i think it was very important. it wasn't easy for the prime minister to leave israel once we are at war. you know, we are if thankful for the support of the u.s., and about everything, it's legitimate, but i think one needs to understand what's happening here in the u.s. is different than the calendar in israel. you are very busy about the election cycle, who will be elected, but hamas, hezbollah, iran, they are not waiting until november or to the new president to step in in january. we have to take actions today and now, and i think that message was delivered clearly by the prime minister. neil: this is one of those rare times though, ambassador, where

benjamin netanyahu took issue with a top u.s. official to say, her remarks in this case, kamala harris', on -- with essentially detrimental to this process and securing what seemed to be an agreed to deal with hamas to release hostages, i'm sort of paraphrasing to get to the point here. but was it that bad? >> well, i think the main problem is hamas, they are not rational actors, they're playing with negotiators, and even in u.s. and eegypts and other players trying to break a deal, but it's not happening because of their actions so i wouldn't give credit to anyone else for the delays. we know that hamas don't want -- they don't care about the suffering of the hostages or the suffering of people in gaza and we have to be strong, we have to continue with real efforts and we rely on the support of the u.s., we need the u.s. to stand with israel. when you have a strong ally we

need them in a time of war. we're under attack from so many fronts and we need the u.s. to stand with us. neil: well, we haven't been standing as strongly with you as in the past. you've been second guessed on your military strategy and seems to be a continuation with kamala harris. does that worry you? >> well, we spoke a lot about in the past that we have to take the decisions ourselves, even if it means that sometimes we don't agree with our strongest ally, and when you look at history, where we attacked the nuclear reactor in iraq. and the u.s. condemned and president reagan, a friend of israel and the end of the day we know better the middle east, we know better the enemies and how to deal with them. like prime minister netanyahu said, our victory will be your victory. and even if the u.s. don't agree with the timing of the action, you have to look at the picture and we have no choice, we have to defeat hamas, bring

the hostages because otherwise we're talking three, four years they will come again after us. we cannot allow it. neil: well, your government has made it very, very clear that that's your position and that could take years and you heard donald trump say and he echoed it again, with benjamin netanyahu in mar-a-lago that this has to wrap up quickly and he would make sure that it would wrap up quickly. it can't as things stand now. you've talked in terms of years and so is that what we're looking at. and do you expect any better treatment from a potential trump administration than you would get from a kamala harris administration? >> well, i think every president will understand that it's complex. you know, it's not going in and out. when the u.s. went after what happened after 9/11, you know, it took you a long time to find osama bin laden, but when you

hear about the pressure to finish fast, there's a contradiction. you cannot finish fast when you go after a terror organization that's hiding behind civilians. we want to minimize civilian casualties. we take the time and the distinction between terrorists and we cannot finish it fast, unfortunately. and the u.s. and our allies have to be patient and we expect them to stand with us, even if it takes longer. >> all right. we'll watch it closely, ambassador. thank you very much. >> thank you, neil. neil: we have a lot more coming up. stay with us.

>> all right. two weeks ago, it happened in butler, pennsylvania. an assassination attempt that came within a min millimeter of becoming an assassination. and donald trump is talking about going back to butler and

security people are worried about that. >> hard to believe, two weeks to the day since that attempted assassination on former president donald trump, and things here around town in butler are slowly getting back to normal, but the scene of the shooting is still very much off limits. in fact, take a look at some of the video that our fox drone team shot. that's the grounds of the butler fairgrounds where the rally took place and that, according to our sources, is a group of fbi personnel and other investigators. they are still seemingly piecing things together, trying to figure out how this happened and most importantly, why. we're also getting an update on trump's condition. former white house doctor and current texas congressman ronny jackson says trump is rapidly recovering and doing extremely well. trump himself last night told a crowd in west palm beach at the burning point action event, quote, as i think you can see, i've recovered well and in fact, just took off the last bandage off my ear. in terms of what caused that

injury, the fbi released a statement clarifying its position after fbi director christopher wray testified whether it was from a bullet or shrapnel. what struck president trump in the year was a bullet, whether hole or fragmented or in pieces fired from the deceased's rifle. and the focus should be on how the shooting happened in the first place. >> what's so chilling about this, it's not just the shooter and the fact that he got eight shots off, it's the fact that these are law enforcement officers, fully tacked out in gear and supposed to be policing the area and looking at it like it was a street corner, a mile away and they drove up on it. this was their job to secure that. >> now, we also learning that according to according to former president donald trump not only will he continue to old outdoor rallies, but planning on coming back here to butler, pennsylvania for a

future rally. no word on the date or the timing of the event only saying on social media to stay tuned for details and that it will honor the victims of this shooting. neil. neil: thank you for that, jeff paul in butler. in the meantime, we have been talking about kamala harris and how much attention she's getting certainly from a much more favorable press right now, versus, of course, her boss, joe biden. then there's the issue of donors who are increasingly coming to her rescue and raising a whole lot of dough in the process. a big question how long that can continue and whether it's really all donors. a big one after this. ♪ you've got some winning genes. ♪ and for a limited time, ancestrydna can show you how your genes stack up against world-class athletes.

this day, very scary with the assassination attempt on donald trump and look what happened about a week later when joe biden decided to take himself out of the presidential race. so now we have this odd situation where the president of the united states is going to serve through the remainder of his term for another six months. we have his vice-president who is in this kind of co-president role in the interim. it is confusing and for a lot of joe biden fans and backers it's not a happy development. there are many of them who are reportedly angry and hurt, i use those words angry and hurt because they're coming from senator chris coons on cbs this morning. now, coons was in charge of president biden's reelection campaign and until it's final hours when the reality of this set in, many were loyal to the president and said they were indeed angry and very hurt by all of this. don peebles agrees with this much, it was handled poorly and this is something that could

hurt democrats because it's looking like the loyalty issue with democrats is come and go. he's a former barack obama fundraiser and don, that's palpable, when people are angry they show it and they show their frustration. i don't know whether this extends to all voters, clearly not in the democratic party, but older voters loyal to joe biden don't like how it went down. what do you think? >> well, look, i think that look, throughout the primary season, the voters voted for joe biden. and 2020, the voters selected joe biden over kamala harris, and so all the donors who have made the contributions, hundreds of millions in contributions on this cycle, they were contributing to president biden's reelection. so i think they're going to have some pause, many will, because they should make the choice of whom their money goes to. that's the first thing. the second thing, you have a sitting president who should have made this decision over a year ago, and then it would have been a smoother transition, the question is

whether or not harris could have survived a primary competition, so, therefore delaying into this points puts her in the position she's the only option as you and i have talked about before on your show. i think that's where we are right now. she's the only option and there is some resistance with donors and some-- many donors are questioning whether she can beat donald trump. neil: you know, i had a democratic congressman on from massachusetts saying, when you elect and opted to elect or reelect joe biden, you were, by extension, electing for the biden-harris ticket. so she was the beneficiary of that and got votes through that. what do you make of that? >> look, i mean, the idea that hopefully the vice-president never serves and the vice-president is there just in case, and so when people vote, when donors support a candidate they are supporting the top of of the ticket. the vice-president is almost ancillary, except in an extreme case like joe biden where his

cognitive ability were deteriorating very rapidly. then that would have been a question, but they hid that from the voters throughout the primary season so i don't think the voters made a decision to select kamala harris, i think they made a decision to select joe biden as did the donors. neil: real quickly, she's not hurting for raising money though, she's raising tons of it. >> yeah, because you've got donors who don't want donald trump under any circumstances and the euphoric moment here, that's going to slow down a bit and we are going to have to see how she performs, you know, with a give and take. neil: yeah, still early, a long ways to go as you often remind me. don peebles, thank you very much. a close confident of birm barac obama, and a good golfer, i don't know if barack obama is. and the impact with the ranges and developments continue. r ad n you can't control. you'll get better

when your pain isn't minimized, dismissed, forgotten. we will never stop trying to get better. because when medicine gets better, all of us can get better. (♪)
