[cheering and applause] >> trace: good evening. i'm trace gallagher. it's 11 p.m. on the east coast. 8 o'clock here in los angeles, and this is america's late news,

"fox news @ night." >> mr. president, what do you want your legacy to be? >> president joe biden: the economy. >> history in the making. >> what some would call history in the making. >> you have never been down 1,000 points ever, even intra day on the nasdaq. >> trace: breaking today, president biden said he cured the economy, the very same economy that's part of a global meltdown. as wall street plummets, where is the vice president? >> she hasn't answered a single question, not one single question by the media. >> trace: in other words, nowhere to be found. donald trump is calling it the kamala crash and she was the deciding vote on the $300 billion inflation reduction act which did the exact opposite. >> the senate being equally divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative and the

concurrent resolution as amended is adopted. >> trace: so if kamala harris is truly proud of the she, is she also proud of the plunge? also breaking tonight, we are getting very dangerous new data from dhs showing the biden/harris administration had 99 terror watch list suspects detained until they let them go. we have more with the frightening numbers. bill, good evening. >> trace, good evening. 250 people on the fbi's terror watch list have been caught trying to cross the southern border illegally during the first three years of the biden/harris administration. according to dhs records provided to the house judiciary committee, 99 illegal immigrants on the terror watch list were released in to the u.s. after being apprehended at the southern border between fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2023 and another 34 terror watch list suspects are still in dhs custody. >> even when they screened them, even when they're on the terrorist watch list, they're

being released in to our country, and one terrorist might commit a terrible crime. >> the dhs data also reveals that during the biden/harris administration, border patrols apprehended illegal immigrants on that terror watch list from 36 different countries. take a look at the map here... obviously including some countries with very significant security concerns. republicans are now pointing to this exchange with dhs secretary mayorkas from last fall... >> is every person that you have listed on the terror watch list detained right now? >> and if, in fact, they pose such a threat they are to be detained. >> okay. so why did you release people in the united states that matched the terror watch list? >> congressman, we do not release individuals. >> trace, fox news reached out to dhs nine hours ago asking for comment about these terror watch list releases. we still shockingly have not heard a single thing back. >> trace: bill, thank you.

[ ♪♪ ] well, we have been long enough to remember the years before 9/11 when illegal border crossers were not considered a national security risk which is why we had 9/11. now illegal immigrants are considered a risk except america is only kinda sorta serious about protecting the border. dhs alejandro mayorkas says they are adequately screened. adequately means good enough. so we've gone from american exceptionalism to good enough? since 2021, 250 migrants were stopped at the border for being on the u.s. terror watch list. that's the list we watch to make sure terrorists don't get in. yet of the 250 on the list, 99 of them, 40% were set free to roam the u.s. so apparently stopping 60% of

terrorists is now good enough. and "the washington post" says don't you dare blame kamala harris. this is a national failure. so instead of blaming the person in charge of fixing the immigration crisis, we should blame us? you and me? maybe that's why kamala harris has a new campaign ad saying that she will fix the broken immigration system, and trump is trying to stop her. that statement can only be believed by her biggest supporters, the ones who also know it's false but also think whatever, it's good enough. let's bring in former fbi special agent fox news contributor nicole parker along with criminal defense attorney and federal litigator vic bujag. troy knells had a good question. he said the following on x, quoting, between fiscal years 2021/2023 at least 99 illegal

alien on the fbi terror watch list were released in our country. where are they, in your state, community, city? border czar have failed to protect the american people. the question that i thought was effective is where are they, nicole? >> that's a great question. we have no idea. for law enforcement, particularly the fbi who is now tasked with finding and tracking down these potential terrorists, it's like playing hide and go seek with the entire nation. i mean, it's virtually impossible. and i think to put this in to perspective, it took 19 hijackers to take down four airplanes on september 11th in 2001 to kill thousands of americans. i myself was a witness to the terrorist attacks. i was working at the financial center at merrill lynch and it was absolutely horrific. to think we are welcoming these individuals, to know they are on the terrorist watch list and not stopped. also of note as well, 19 hijackers, 13 of them arrived in the united states in the year 2001, six of them in the year

2000. it doesn't take a lot of time for them to do the plans once they arrive here. it is dangerous. >> trace: it is very dangerous. vic, you come to california, you go to new york, you go to illinois, you are protected again. >> it makes you wonder when vice president says we're here to fix the border and president trump is getting in the way, what is fixing the border when all the laws locally handcuff local law enforcement from deporting people or even detaining them, what is the end goal? on the federal side, i encourage all of our viewers and listeners, go to your local federal court. sit down there and take a list of all the people that are being arraigned on serious criminal offenses whether it's weapons, whether it's illegal communications, illegal items that are hazardous materials that are somehow related to aiding and abetting terrorism activities. it only takes one, trace, and i remember this in 20 years of

dealing in federal litigation now, it only takes one to come on in to our soil and then recruit dozens to cause the harm that nicole parker so eloquently describes. it's truly frightening, and one has to wonder to what end? >> trace: foxnews.com writes, biden/harris administration has released dozens of migrants on terror watch list. those countries include afghanistan, iraq, lebanon, pakistan, somalia, syria, tajikistan and yemen. that's a big part of the equation. it's not just they're coming in, it's from where they're coming in, nicole. >> that's right. they're in known nations that are known to have very strong terroristic ties. unequivocally i can tell you that vice president harris, the border czar, has failed us, has failed the united states because we are now in a very vulnerable

situation. fbi director christopher wray has been saying it over and over. fbi agents i know, they are terrified about what is potentially going to occur. the lackadaisical approach to having no border security is dangerous for us. again, no border security equals no national security. we are sitting ducks. >> trace: the report also found that immigration judges granted bond, vic, to 27 migrants on the watch list. >> no surprise there. there was such a big push. so many people are coming on in to the country and we're inundated with a lack of judges to either stamp or really go through a methodical research on whether people should be admitted. the question is not how do you deal with the people that are coming in illegally. the question should be how do you stop it so that you don't have to fund the immigration judges who many times have to make a split second decision because there's 20 or 30 individuals on the other side of the door? >> trace: and a three-year

waiting list behind them. vic, nicole, thank you both. breaking information coming in to fox news @ night, several u.s. personnel injured in a rocket base in iraq as israel is bracing for a attack from iran senior national correspondent live in d.c. with the newest timeline. kevin, good evening. >> evening, trace. the attack at the al-assad air base in iraq comes amid extremely high tensions as israel braces for an iranian retaliation over the assassination of a hamas political leader in tehran last week. on x, the president said he and the vice president were briefed on the situation in the middle east on threats posed by iran and its proxies. diplomatic efforts to de-escalate regional tensions to support israel should it be attacked again this as the

defense secretary lloyd austin ordered additional military assets to the region including a carrier strike group, a fighter squadron, and additional warships. >> escalation is in no one's interest. it's not in the interest of any one country. it's not in the interest of the region. and it's certainly not in the interest of the millions of civilians who just want to live their lives free from violence and conflict. >> meanwhile, on capitol hill, some lawmakers remain deeply skeptical. >> the biden/harris weak leadership mismanagement and frankly bad decision after bad decision has practically invited this war and is making a hostage deal more and more unlikely. >> you may recall when three american troops were killed in jordan in that drone attack back in january, the u.s. responded by hitting 85 targets in the region. we'll see what retaliation may happen in the wake of this attack in iraq, trace. >> trace: we covered it.

kevin, thank you. let's bring in former navy seal w along with ellie cohanam. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said this today... >> [speaking alternate language] >> (voice of interpreter): the state of israel is in a multi-front war against iran's axis of evil. we hit each of its arms hard. we are prepared for any scenario both in defense and attack. i repeat to our enemies, we will respond and exact a heavy price for any act of aggression against us from any front. >> trace: cameron, netanyahu says they are prepared. but are they prepared for a war on three fronts? >> i don't know that there's any good way to carve that out. i think ultimately israel has to do what's necessary to defend its territory. we've moved our resources in to the region, one of the largest deployments in quite some time. i think because we have quite a bit of americans that are actually living in that region as well so we have to protect

our interests. israel is a very defensible, very capable nation, but if this, in fact, opens up in to a multi-front warfare, it will really be anyone's game because there's quite a bit of armoury and arsenal in the adjacent nations. >> trace: robert greenway at the heritage foundation, the center for national defense said the following, elliot, and i'll get your thoughts. >> the introduction of military forces is helpful. we need to accelerate the provision of capabilities to israel and we need to look to our own defences inside the united states recognizing iran has capabilities across the world and in the united states because of our open borders. this has to be done immediately. >> trace: ellie, do you agree and does he go far enough? >> well, rob is exactly right, my former colleague in the trump administration. trace, the biden/harris administration has criminally practically been withholding arms and munitions resupply to israel at a time when they are facing a seven-front existential

war. there's no excuse for it. trace, you know, i can't help but contrast where we are today with where we were at the end of the trump administration. biden/harris, they inherited a middle east that was peaceful and prosperous under president trump, and they have appeased the iranian regime from day one and here we are today. >> trace: and here we are. cameron, i'm curious, we talked about a war on three fronts. how do you think iran goes about doing this? they've kinds of indicated they're going to attack. do they use the hezbollah? do they use the houthis and hamas or do they actually go in themselves? >> i think they use every resource available to them. again, the middle east is not as well unified as many people think. there are sectarian divides that go back for thousands of years. we've garnered much support and great relationships with other nations that need to be also putting additional pressure on iran. unfortunately those relationships have been strained because of the weakness projected by this administration. that has real-life consequences that will bear result on israel,

the united states, many other nations. again, it's a very tenuous future that we'll see what happens. >> trace: it's interesting, ellie, because you will you hear from the administration is we need to focus on de-escalation, de-escalation. it's late in the game for de-escalation. there's got to be a plan b. >> exactly right, trace. look, the biden/harris administration has brought no consequence to the islamic republic regime after ten months of war and terror and their unprecedented direct attack on israel, never mind that what we saw today which was iranian proxies attacking the american al-assad base and hurting five american service members. so it's well overdue for biden/harris to bring consequence to this islamic republic regime. >> trace: it really is. cameron hamilton, ellie cohannam, we appreciate your time. the honeymoon for kamala harris

could be shortlived after stocks took a massive dive today. the v.p. is expected to announce her runningmate as early as tomorrow. ashley is live in new york with more on the markets and the ticket. ashley, good evening. >> at this, trace. wall street took a massive tumble today with many of the major indices closing at near record lows. the dow plummeted close to 1,034 points. then the nasdaq dropped 576. the s&p 500 gave up 160 points for the worst day in three years. many investors are blaming a weak jobs report which saw unemployment notch above 4%. today's selloff already fuelling a debate about a recession in an election year. >> mr. trump: you will quickly have a kamala crash. you could have a crash like we had in 1929 because that's where we're headed. >> the former president pointing

to those comments to say i told you so branding monday's market meltdown "the kamala crash." >> president biden's economic plan is working. i think we should be really grateful for that, for the american people. >> meanwhile, we could be just hours away from learning who vice president harris will pick as her running mate. according to reports, the joyce is between pennsylvania governor josh shapiro and minnesota's governor tim walz. trace? >> trace: ashley, thank you. let's bring in princeton university political scientist lauren wright and fox news political analyst gianno caldwell. i want to play some sound from ap reporter michelle price on cnn talking kamala harris honeymoon. >> everything that has been in this honeymoon period might seem silly compared to when people are looking at their 401 ks or

looking at what it costs at the grocery store. the hype that is kind of coming back down to earth. we might be entering that phase that the trump campaign has been waiting for. >> trace: people didn't like the economy two days ago, and they don't like it now at all. >> exactly right. the harris/biden gaslighting campaign is officially over. we've been hearing line after line on how great the economy is and the conservatives are creating a bogeyman but we're finding out that isn't true. the policies of the biden -- rather, the harris/biden administration has been a disaster for all americans especially those in the working class and which democrats often say that they care about the most. wages are being evaporated due to inflation. and we're continuing to see record unemployment. not record but recently record unemployment in this administration. so i think for biden and harris to not answer questions at this

particular point in time is something that i think americans are finding to be scary. >> trace: i think you're exactly right. as far as the headlines about, lauren, for the harris campaign, "the wall street journal," poses risk to cracks. "the guardian" says it may be bad news for kamala harris and cnn saying kamala harris's economic pitch got a lot more complicated. even if the markets recover a little bit, the economy is still shaky and people know that. this is not helping confidence. >> that's a key point because, you know, both candidates will do what presidents and candidates often do, they cast blame on their opponent. they take credit for good things sometimes that are totally out of their control. so that's typical, but the reason why trump's critiques of harris are fair in this case is because we're in a policy vacuum with regard to her campaign. we don't know what her economic stances are. would she have, for instance,

unilaterally approved $6 trillion of still -- stimulus? does she think the president has anything to do with slowing wage growth? we don't know. when you don't share your perspectives and your stances, your opponent is completely free to fill in the blanks and that's what trump's going to do. >> trace: they're in the dark. top harris contenders, put 'em up on the screen you have josh shapiro, the governor of pennsylvania, and you have tim walz from minnesota, the governor there. who do you like, gianno? >> i think most democrats would probably like to see josh shapiro be the v.p. what, 60% approval rating out of pennsylvania. that's a must-win state for the harris campaign. but for a fraction of their progressives, they would like him one part of it is because he's jewish. that's what we've seen in the democratic party is this level of divisiveness and

discrimination which oftentimes is only okay if you're a democrat unfortunately. but they're going to have an issue there. but harris has got to continue to divorce herself from biden's policies on israel i think in favor more of the palestinians. >> trace: lauren, i have 30 seconds left for you. a lot of people say, listen, people vote for the top of the ticket. do you like one of these two? and do you think it's fair to say they vote for the top of the ticket? >> i do like josh shapiro. i'll update positively if she picks josh shapiro but the pressure she is getting from the left wing of the party not to choose him is pretty ridiculous. all he's said on israel is it has a right to exist and there's no place for antisemitism in america. if that's too extreme for the left wing of the party, that doesn't tell me about him. that tells me about the democrats. >> trace: thank you both. coming up, new radio transmissions revealing just how bad communication was at the trump rally site between the secret service and local law

enforcement meaning the security disaster in butler is getting worse. we'll have the latest. in the nightcap, harris set to announce her new running mate. we'll show them to you. >> so pennsylvania's governor josh shapiro is being discussed. he also endorsed her tonight. in your view, what are the pros and cons for putting him on the ticket? >> he's a first term governor. he's jewish. there could be risks in putting him on the ticket. >> trace: so shapiro appears to be more popular but will kamala overrule the radical anti-israel part of her party and pick a jewish v.p., or will she give in to the progressive left? let us know on x and instagram, @tracegallagher. we'll read your responses in the nightcap. we are coming right back.ac torye visual solutions to perfect your process. ♪

fastsigns. make your statement™.

[ ♪♪ ] >> trace: now to the attempted assassination of donald trump. there is new audio evidence tonight showing a lack of communication and coordination between federal and local law enforcement that almost cost the former president his life. bill back with more on this. bill? >> trace, good evening to you. that lack of coordination is on full display with these radio excerpts, these transcripts that "the washington post" was able to obtain. take a look... for example, 29 minutes before the attempted assassination, a local counter sniper identified the shooter thomas crooks as being suspicious but the local commander had to use his cellphone to relay that message to secret service. that became more problematic. that's because 3 minutes before the shooting at 6:08 p.m., according to "the washington post," a local officer radioed "someone's on the roof."

then 3 minutes later, "he's got a long gun." in the 30 seconds between that moment and the shooting, the absence of a direct line of communication prevented secret service from ever becoming aware of that threat. that allowed crooks to fire off eight shots hitting former president donald trump in the ear while killing one rally goer and critically injuring two others. here's congressman mike kelly of pennsylvania... >> we need to get the right answers. the american people have the right to know and we have the responsibility to find out for them. getting there quickly is not as important as getting there the right way. >> congressman kelly is part of that task force investigating the july 13th assassination attempt. he says the task force will be out again in butler, pennsylvania as that investigation moves forward. >> trace: let's bring in melanie burkholder and jonathan gilliam.

here's a partial transcript of radio communications on july 13th. this was a big part, the coms problem. just an fyi -- this is from "the washington post." we had a younger white male lurking around the agr building. he was viewed with a range finder sighting the stage. we lost sight of him. nobody got this message so they did not get this message, melanie. 2024 and they're blaming cellphones and all kind of stuff. back in the day when you had walkie-talkie, they would have got that message like that. >> trace, that's correct. i find this so amazing because after 9/11 the feds put a lot of money in to restructuring how we communicate with each other because they found that to be problematic then. so i don't know why there wasn't a command post set up, why there wasn't messages being relayed through the command post to the agents that needed to know what was going on on the ground around the president because this is complete failure of communication, right? and communication is key to doing the mission of the secret service. >> trace: communication aside, jonathan, you look at the whole

thing and this was literally a laundry list of mistakes. they could not have made more mistakes throughout this entire day. >> right. and i think, you know, first off, we have to point out and not forget that this fatal funnel and avenue of approach that was used by this shooter was created from the secret service not doing their job with a threat assessment and setting up the security at the event for overwatch. that being said, this lack of communication between the secret service and local and state law enforcement, believe it or not, is not uncommon. these relationships that law enforcement has with federal agencies is almost always strained in some way, shape, or form, and in many cases they actually don't want to be in their own command post together. so i think this is something -- after 9/11 they did really try

to work on communications, but interoperability channels and command posts are still not utilized properly across the board. >> trace: i wonder if i can go back, greg, and you put that video back up. while jonathan was talking there, he makes a very good point and it's incredible because that red dot that you see on your screen and we're going to try to get this video back up, that is thomas crooks right there going back and forth, and this is minutes before he was shot. so here's acting secret service director ronald rowe on spotting the shooter. this is what he said... >> we thought we might have had it covered with the human eye but clearly we are going to change our approach now and we are going to leverage technology and put those on man aerial systems up. >> trace: those who attended the rally, melanie, saw this guy. a lot of people, a lot of p people, including the video saw him moving with a gun on the roof. >> the statement, we thought we might have had that covered?

what! it's 150 yards from the president and we don't have that covered? the communication was horrible. i agree with gilliam that it is an ongoing struggle for communications. for agents to be communicating by a text when there was no cell service? this is not acceptable behavior on any front. >> trace: it really is. i'm just wondering, they talk about human eyes and maybe they need to increase or improve some of the resources they have. the question i have for you is eyesight. you can't spot the guy on the shoot there. two, jonathan gilliam, was this a lack of resources or did they have the wrong resources in place? >> you have to understand this is the secret service's job, right, to protect the president or the president-elect or former presidents. with that being said, you have to ask yourself when you say they don't have the resources,

that's an impossible question to ask because that's their job. they get a billion dollar budget that goes towards protecting these individuals. make no doubt about it, when it comes to investigation, they may not know everything about crooks' background, but they know everything that they did wrong that day. that's why this political talk and all this back and forth is ridiculous because everybody knows what they did wrong. it's already there. they just have to tell us. >> trace: and we just get little bits of new information every day that just makes this really -- it was problematic from the get-go. melanie, jonathan, thank you both. coming up, an update on tropical storm debby still bringing dangerous conditions to the eastern seaboard plus kamala harris pushing back against trump's challenge to debate right here on fox news and the media says, of course, it's our fault. meantime, 8:34 on the west

>> trace: continuing coverage now of breaking news. hurricane debby made landfall on the gulf coast of florida this morning slamming vast areas in north florida with torrential rain, high winds, and flooding. we're being told at least five people were killed in car accidents and falling trees. debby now a tropical storm forecast to dump about 2 feet of rain on coastal georgia and

south carolina. that is going to be a mess and will likely trigger flash flooding all along the southeastern seaboard in the coming days including historic cities like savannah and charleston. fox weather, fox news @ night will provide updates on the storm's path and the damage it causes in the coming days. the mainstream media rushing to the defense of vice president harris for pushing back on trump's latest challenge to debate on fox news. back live to the senior national correspondent kevin corke. kevin? >> trace, it's the sort of back-and-forth you either love or hate depending on how much you appreciate political gamesmanship. on truth social, president trump proclaimed this... kamala harris doesn't have the mental capacity to do a real debate against me. she's afraid to do it because there's no way she can justify her corrupt and open borders. the environmental destruction of our country, the afghanistan embarrassment, runaway inflation, terrible economy,

high interest rates and taxes and her years-long fight to stop the words merry christmas. i'll see her on september 4th or i won't see her at all. okay, to which the vice president retorted... it's interesting how any time anyplace becomes one specific time, one specific safe space. i'll be there on september 10th on abc like he agreed to. i hope to see him there. now, did you catch that? safe space? that's apparently what they all think. you know, if it's on fox, it's advantage trump. by the way, and by "all" i mean all progressives like msnbc host joe scarborough. >> he obviously is now proposing something that is no more likely for kamala harris to attend than him attending something on msnbc in primetime. it's just not going to happen. >> a little sleight of hand there talking about the fox

primetime. those are opinion hosts. brett and martha are completely fair, but the narrative among the left is anywhere on, you know, that's not on the left-leaning network is just not fair. trace? >> trace: and we shouldn't forget the former president agreed to debate joe biden on abc, not kamala harris. >> that's right. >> trace: kevin corke live for us in d.c. thanks. let's bring in the author of "what's killing america." thank you both for coming on. jason rance to you, i know it's kamala harris. here's joe scarborough on why she shouldn't go on fox... >> this is serious. they all deliberately mispronounce her name. kamala, repeatedly. kamala, kamala, kamala. >> for one, it's kamala.

whatever, sorry. jason? >> yeah, it's absolute lunacy but, again, you're kind of working with joe scarborough here. he will say and do anything to get on the side of now kamala harris. see, we can say her name correctly. this from networks, by the way, including msnbc that refer to donald trump as a fascist or nazi or threat to democracy as a whole. if one says kamala instead of kamala, it shows she has no business going to fox news. that's absolute lunacy. i'm with kevin. i think brett and martha are outstanding at what it is that they do, and they i think would provide a better debate than anyone else in the business, period. >> indeed, bravo. that's exactly right. tiana, jim kramer says if you care about your paycheque, you do this. watch... >> if you care about your

paycheque, you go with trump. that's what you do. >> you do? >> yeah, well, he wants to cut your taxes. >> he wants to cut taxes. >> your taxes. >> trace: that's bad news for kamala harris, tiana. >> he's not wrong at all. there's no contest between trump's record for four years and the biden/harris record of three and a half years in terms of real returns. look, we still have, what, 5% loss of average weekly wages from the start of this presidency until now. as kamala harris has emphasized, she's been the last person in the room for every major decision including afghanistan. that's why the media is covering for her, not wanting to do a debate. the last time donald trump debated the democratic presidential nominee de facto, he ended his career. so kamala harris knows she just has to make it a couple more weeks until early voting starts, hope the rest of the progressive corporate media covers for her and she never is actually

questioned. >> trace: kamala's husband doug emhoff said this in february of 2023... >> there's too much of toxicity, masculine toxicity out there. we've kind of confused what it means to be a man, what it means to be masculine where you've got this trope out there that you've got to be tough and, you know, angry and lash out to be strong. just the opposite. >> trace: and the opposition research comes back and of course he had an affair with the nanny, impregnated her. the whole thing is a mess. when you put yourself out there as, you know, the person -- the moral compass for the country you're going to get bit. >> well, precisely. especially when we're talking about toxic masculinity leading in to something that is quite toxic and supposedly masculine. i think if this were j.d. vance and any other republican, if this were donald trump, we've obviously seen them go after him and his relationship. i think this is one of those stories you're probably not going to hear a lot of outside of maybe conservative media starting to talk about it but they're going to go out of their

way to suppress this as best as possible while still pretending that he is somehow the person we should talk to about toxic masculinity. >> trace: and i gotta go but i want to play this sound bite. this is rfk jr. on the bear, tiana and i'll give you a chance to answer... >> the woman in front of me hit a bear and killed it. so i pulled over and i picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van, and at the end of the dinner it went late, and i realized i couldn't go home. i had to go to the airport. and the bear was in my car and i didn't want to leave the bear in the car. i had an old bike in my car that somebody asked me to get rid of. i said let's go put the bear in central park and we'll make it funny for people. >> trace: the bear is apparently such a huge story that he has to get ahead of this, tiana. i have 10 seconds for you to wrap it up. >> record scratch, freeze frame. there's a reason why this man is polling at 1% despite being

against trump and harris. >> trace: it's kind of crazy. thank you, both. coming up, kamala's v.p. pick sure to make a statement as to the future of the democratic party. will she cave to the far left and choose minnesota's tim walz or make a moderate pick and choose pennsylvania's governor josh shapiro? who do you think she'll pick? will either choice ultimately make a significant difference? let us know, x and instagram @tracegallagher. we'll read your responses coming up next in the night cap.

[ ♪♪ ] >> trace: we're back with the nightcap. tonight's topic, the pick is in. reports say that kamala harris has narrowed her running mate pick to two top contenders, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, minnesota governor tim walz. who do you think she'll pick and will either make a difference, ashley? >> i'm not sure who she's going to pick. back in the day i would have thought the v.p. pick wouldn't have really mattered that much but emotions are so high. i think this election it could matter. with kamala harris's situation historically she leans far left. so i think she might lose some of the libertarians who want a democrat voter or the true blue democrats who don't want that

far left nonsense. >> trace: jason? >> she should pick josh shapiro just to make it at least seem like it's moderate but you have a significant problem with antisemitism in the democrat party so not only would you get a jewish vice president but one whose last name is shapiro. and i think that the left and the progressive side i think they're going to push back against that. >> trace: lauren wright? >> you know, i have to agree. i think shapiro would be the best choice as many people have said on the show. i think she'll pick walz unfortunately, and it tells me more about the direction of her campaign than her chances of winning. i think she's worried about the left wing of the democratic party. >> trace: kevin? >> i think she goes with shapiro. he is dynamic. he's young. they need pennsylvania. walz wouldn't be a bad choice but i think she goes with shapiro. >> trace: bill? >> i think the smart choice is shapiro. he's got an approval rating in the 60s in pennsylvania, a state she feels she needs to win. he would be seen as balancing out the ticket a little bit more

with some of her crazy positions. if she does, i think the dnc will have palestine protests. >> trace: vic? >> i would go with shapiro. 300,000 votes in pennsylvania that are sorely needed by the democrat party. 2020 was a flipping year for them. if they don't pick shapiro, you'd hope it's not because of race, ethnicity, religion, or political beliefs. he seems to be the one that's most needed. >> trace: i thought mark kelly might get a shot in arizona. we'll see. the poll will come as v.p. choice make a difference in november? yes on x, 23. instagram, 15. julie hamel shapiro already apologizing for supporting israel to appease hamas caucus. this one... that's all the time we've got. thank you for joining america's late news, fox news @ night. i'll see you back here tomorrow. ♪ control of my crohn's means everything to me ♪
