>> greg: thank you to kat timpf, emily compagno, tyrus, president donald trump! our studio audience, "fox news @ night" is next. i'm greg gutfeld, i love you america. >> trace: good evening, i'm trace gallagher, 11:00 pm on the east coast, 8:00 in los angeles

and this is america's late news, "fox news @ night". breaking tonight, just days after the second attempt on his life, former president trump is back in public, or as he says continuing the fight. delivering a strong message to democrats and the liberal media at a raucous long island rally. >> stop the hoaxes, stop the smears, stop the law fare and fake lawsuits against me and stop claiming your opponents will turn america into a dictatorship. give me a break. >> trace: but after years of comparing him to hitler and calling him a threat to democracy, the liberal media somehow still does not quite get it. >> let's stop this both sides stuff because it's not correct. it's not both sides, it's one clear side. >> recognizing that we are all in danger here. >> trace: apparently neither do democrats. >> when you have that kind of microphone in front of you, you

really ought to understand at a very deep level how much your words have meaning. >> donald trump is an existential threat to our democracy and our most fundamental freedoms. >> trace: we will talk about that and trump also mixed it up at a local new york bar this afternoon, becoming the first u.s. president to ever pay in bitcoin. >> what's your impression? >> a great place. i made the first transaction in bitcoin. [ cheering and applause ] >> trace: senior national correspondent kevin corke is live in dc with more on the former precedence a busy day in the big apple. happen, good evening. >> reporter: busy day indeed. just days ago we were talking about the second attempt on the life of the former president, but since then it has been full steam ahead with mister trump connecting with potential voters online and in-person from x to michigan, to the empire state, including tonight in uniondale where he reveled in the fact that the teamsters leadership

did not endorse vice president harris, but the rank-and-file back to him. >> this hasn't happened in so many decades. we won the overwhelming majority of the local chapters and the members and as a result the national organization has refused to endorse the democrat candidate for the first time in many decades. >> reporter: in fact you have to go all the way back to 1996 to find a year when the teamsters did not endorse the democrats. >> i think it sends a message to both parties that if they truly want to support working people, they have to reevaluate it and understand that nothing is given, it's earned. >> reporter: meanwhile in a statement tonight the harris team said when she's elected president, she will look out for the teamsters rank and file no matter what because they always have been and always will be the people she fights for. obviously it's too early to tell if the snob will have an impact on miss harris but becoming the

first democrat in nearly three decades to not get the endorsement of america's largest union, clearly doesn't help, trace. >> trace: kevin corke live in dc, thank you. [♪♪] >> trace: the "fox news @ night" commonsense department is a little confused by the teamsters nonendorsement for president and when you hear the explanation it sounds like the teamsters are walking a tightrope that is only secured on one end. meaning the other shoe is not the only thing bound to drop. the teamsters tell us that 59.6% of it's members voted for donald trump, 34 percent -- 34% voted for kamala harris, 26-point gap, which is hugely significant when you consider that when joe biden was running, he got 44.3% of the teams there vote, trump only got 36.3%. talk about a tied turn. and yet the reason there's no endorsement is because, at i'm

quoting here, member polling showed no majority support for vice president harris and no universal support among the membership for president trump. now when they say universal support, do they mean saddam hussein universal or just vladimir putin universal? commonsense suspects that kamala harris would have gotten the endorsement with 51% and yet donald trump needs, what, 81, 91%? remember, the teamsters have not endorse a republican since 1988 and it appears that only a venezuelan type election would end that gop drought. the teamsters have promised absolute transparency and yet commonsense is having difficulty seeing what they mean. let's bring in union members and electrical lighting technician at a teamsters truck driver, thank you for coming on.

your fellow members chose donald trump in this poll today but your leaders opted not to endorse. what do you think of that decision overall? >> unfortunately i disagree with that 100%. our brothers, and that's what we call each other, brothers, stood up and voted for having donald trump as our candidate and it saddens that they are not listening to us. >> trace: it's interesting because is trump seeing an increase in support across all of labor, do you think, or is it just the teamsters, or are you seeing it in your union as well? >> i'm seeing it in my union. we are seeing the rank-and-file in support of trump. i'm seeing trump stickers on trucks, on the lot, the guys coming up to me asking me about what are the policies. we just have to remember that

families, moms and union laborers and family members have lost so much of the last three and a half years and i think that's why they are supporting trump. >> trace: it's fascinating when you talk about you being a member of the union in california and they are leaning toward trump which is a big statement. alexandra costa cortez today said when the teamsters are in trouble they always call the democrats. she's kind of dismissing this kind of leaned towards the republicans saying they are going to come home again. would you think about that statement. >> when the democrats need help, they call the teamsters and the unions, they go out and knock on doors for them. when the democrats need help, that's when they come ask us. we never ask them for anything. >> trace: it's interesting because we are talking about the shift right here but i'm wondering, when you see the shift are you kind of looking back thinking what's going on here, are you surprised at all

or would you tell your friends you kind of saw this coming? >> i'm not surprised but i think a lot of people are. i've been a political junkie my whole life since fourth grade, i ran for school president. >> trace: did you win? >> not until sixth grade. i just got my 20 year service pin, i talked to a lot of labor union members on the lot and i'm not surprised because, again, we have to remember what families have lost over the last three years. i have a good paying job, good healthcare, but i'm struggling in some ways and a lot of my union brothers and sisters are not working because the biden-harris administration is driving the trucking industry out of california and also driving the motion picture industry out of california. >> trace: not got 30 seconds left for you, would you agree with that statement, are a lot of union members, even though they are gonna good wages, still kind of doing the month-to-month thing?

>> definitely. i mean it's hard here in california, we are going to be losing our jobs if we start getting a look those battery trucks because i don't see how we will be able to afford drivers to continue doing what we are doing. myself, i'm in politics because donald trump, i'm running for state assembly right now because it's important to get people involved, every person should be involved in our politics. >> trace: best of luck to both of you, thank you for coming on. >> thank you. >> thank you. earlier today i was honored to receive the endorsement of the rank-and-file membership of the teamsters, but, you know, this hasn't happened in so many decades, we won the overwhelming majority of the local chapters and the members and as a result the national organization has refused to endorse the democrat candidate for the first time in many, many decades. >> trace: without let's bring in trump advisor, senior advisor

it's great to have you on the show, i'm wondering, talking to these union members, i'm not sure if you heard it but it's fascinating to see that, you know, look, they are worried about their families, worried about their financial future and you can see union members kind of migrate toward the former president. i'm wondering, because, you know, members wanted him, the teamsters and the union leaders did not choose him. what do you make of that decision? >> well i think it's clear, president trump has always been a president for working families and working americans. whether it was before he entered the political arena when he was in real estate, incredibly successful in new york, he's had his thumbprint on the new york skyline, and even to today, our rally in uniondale was put together by union workers. that stage set up, the lighting was all put together by union workers. what president trump has done is

really focus an economy that works for all americans. we saw that when he was in the white house, we've seen that destroyed by kamala harris through bidenomics and americans are ready to turn back to prosperity, to go back to president trump, because he delivered for them. >> trace: it's interesting because you talk about kamala harris and the former president was just on gutfeld a short time ago talking about kamala harris and the barrage of flip-flops in recent months. watch. >> she said no, i don't want to -- for 20 years she's wanted to take your guns and all of a sudden she says no, no. one thing about a politician, they always revert to where they were at the beginning, that's what their natural inclination is. >> trace: i talked to the former president on friday, over the past few days i've been watching him and he seems to be going after kamala's policies and the flip-flop aspect. is that. we. >> that's absolutely right.

harris said it herself during her see in an interview, she said my values have not changed. she's trying to be something else and deflected from who she is at her core and at her court she is defunding the police, against fracking, she wants buyback programs for guns, she wants to decriminalize border crossings, she wants to reimagine ice. she's just terrible for america and we've experienced that for the last three and a half years. she may want to claim, you know, that she's going to turn the page, but it's her who we have to turn the page from. she's absolutely failed, she's weak and she's dangerously liberal and we are living her disaster right now. >> trace: yeah, danielle alvarez, thank you for coming on, we appreciate it. >> thank you so much for having me. donald trump and his extremist allies will keep trying to pull us backward. now they have pledged to carry out the largest deportation, a

mass deportation in american history. how is not going to happen? massive raids? massive detention camps? what are they talking about? >> trace: kamala harris once again going after trump supporters, labeling them extreme. let's bring in fox news contributor steve hilton and fox news political analyst. great to have you guys on the show. axios writes the following, they had line is, progressives hope harris border shift is temporary, going on to say dozens of groups believe vice president harris recent hawkish immigration pledges are harmful and part of a maga anti-immigrant agenda but many are backing her anyway. jd vance responded to that saying "a left-wing immigration group thinks kamala harris is pretending to be moderate, of course he is, her policies have opened the border and she will do more of it if given a promotion." i think the response a lot of

people have is of course she is. she's going to go back to the left as soon as she gets elected. >> exactly because those are her instincts. it gets worse and worse every single day. the total joke of this harris campaign, where they say one thing and then it's another and you don't know what they are actually going to do other than exactly as president trump said, revert to the gut instincts of these politicians. she's saying all this stuff because they are putting it in her mouth but actually she is fundamentally a far left politician from the bay area. one last thing on all this deportation stuff that she's using to scare people, i did some homework for you, i know you like that from your guests. i looked up the hispanic vote. in 2012 obama, 71%, romney 27%. forty-four% democrat lead. now with president trump, despite all this nonsense they are putting out there, harris 51, trump 42.

it's gone from a 44 democrat lead to a 9% lead. it's a collapse in support from the hispanic voting population, despite all this stuff she's putting out there. >> trace: meantime newsweek says kamala harris gets potentially worrying sign from the naacp. goes on to say among younger black voters 18 to 49, harris support drops further with just 56% backing her candidacy. the poll found that 40% of respondents cited economic issues as their highest priority. you have people like don lemon saying no, this is an support for trump, this is just bravado. what is your thought? >> will that's not true. one thing has become very clear to me and that is that helium has escaped the balloon and that's what we are seeing with kamala harris. trump's winning on all the major issues. we talk about the economy, immigration, crime, there's no major issue that trump isn't

leading on and that's why we see this analysis saying that they believe it's a likely chance that donald trump will win the electoral college if we continue to see poll after poll saying exactly that. this is what's really intriguing trump is usurping the democratic party's most loyal constituencies, the african-american vote, the hispanic vote. we saw what happened with the truckers, union members, working-class white folks from different regions of virginia. this is something we've never seen in politics i think in general, this transformation. >> trace: the atlanta journal-constitution poll, this is september 9th through 15th polling so very recent. donald trump up three points there. it seems like in georgia voters kind of swung towards kamala and now they are swinging back. >> exactly. they took a sniff at the new

cocktail that was put in front of them and said we don't want it. they are not interested because -- this is why the debate, despite with a pond and said, was decisive in favor of trump. you saw the lack of substance from harris and the serious responses on the issues from trump. what you've seen from donald trump since he took over this party is a revolution, a political revolution. the party has become a multiracial working-class coalition. it's an historic transformation. >> trace: who do you trust, put this up on the screen, 50% say trump in pennsylvania, 46 harris. michigan 49-48 which is very close and i'm kind of skeptical about that. in wisconsin 52 trump 45 harris. you think the national polls it's in the sixties for donald trump and in michigan it's almost tied. your final thoughts, about 20

seconds. >> twenty seconds, kamala harris sales pitch is fundamentally flawed. i will fix all your issues in day one but you are in office right now and nobody believes you. >> trace: gianno caldwell, steven caldwell -- steve hilton, thank you both. president trump now has the same level of secret service protection he did when he was in office. the new information comes as the investigation into the two assassination attempts against him continue, but not without delay. matt finn live with the latest on what's being uncovered. good evening. >> reporter: today the details came out that after the july 13th shooting, former president trump's secret service detail was increased to the level as if he was the acting president. a secret service or says trump is getting the same protection right now as president biden, including counter snipers, surveillance and drone teams. that means trump had a presidential level of security during the attempted assassination this past sunday in florida. tonight the fbi is continuing

two criminal probes involving trump's safety amid intense criticism. >> the men and women of the fbi are working tirelessly to get to the bottom of what happened. >> secret service has been much more forthcoming. the fbi in contrast is very much giving us -- they haven't been as transparent in my view as they should be. >> reporter: so there is a secret service internal report about the july 13th shooting. it was expected to be released any day now but fox news is told that gets delayed as agents are now working on the florida case. meanwhile florida has launched its own investigation into sunday's assassination suspect. >> we have a very strong interest in holding this suspect accountable to the fullest extent of the law and we are in a better position in the state of florida to be able to provide answers to the public. >> reporter: quite interesting, democratic senator has accused homeland security of

stonewalling a congressional investigation into the butler shooting. >> trace: thank you. let's bring in trump senior advisor kash patel. great to have you on. just a pickup on what matt was saying, you had the liberal senator of connecticut say that dhs is stonewalling. and then today you had the fbi director saying this, watch. >> second time in just over two months we have witnessed what appears to be an attempt to attack our democracy and our democratic process. i'm relieved that former president trump is safe and i want the american people to know that the men and women of the fbi are working tirelessly to get to the bottom of what happened. >> trace: tirelessly? i mean we are being delayed, tirelessly might be the wrong word. >> great to be with you, trace. the men and women in the rank-and-file of the fbi might be working tirelessly but do you know who's working overtime to

obvious gate and deflected those informational reports? the leadership structure at the fbi. if the fbi were less focus on climate change and dei and white rage and more focused on the profile of the latest assassin they would have picked up on the fact that he publicized to the world on social media that he wanted a wrong to murder donald trump. they would have picked up on the fact in social media, yet again for the world to see, that this individual had been hiring mercenaries and utilizing gofundme to go higher terrorist organizations to fight a foreign war overseas. this is all information that could have been scrubbed on the internet if our intel a law enforcement prioritized this. i don't buy for one seconds a donald trump has the same level of secret service now. i've done 60 trips with him before and after he was president and he still does not have enough. >> trace: what do you think about the secret service telling the local police in pennsylvania two days before the first attempted assassination that they would cover the roof where the assassin was firing from,

and they did not? >> a monumental failure of leadership but it's what you started the topic with here, where's the report, why is it being delayed, why don't we have a definitive answer instead of a he said she said, why aren't these individuals placed under oath in congress and sworn to testify to the truth for the american people? now yet again thanks to the fbi's deflection and blame game it's being delayed yet again and the only reason, the only time the fbi comes in to flecks and delays is when they have a hand in corruption and when they use the classified system to hide corrupt details just like from russia on down. they are writing the same playbook so i don't trust them. maybe the republican majority in congress can give us answers. >> trace: running up against a break but i want to put this out, iran attempted to pass act trump campaign info to the biden campaign. i got 15 seconds, what is your response to that? >> of course they were trying to do it. it's not russia, it's iran. the ironic thing is they hacked

the campaign and sent it to the biden administration. the question i have is which one of the biden administration employees told the fbi they got this information? >> trace: a good question. kash patel, thank you for coming on. coming up a cbs reporter went looking for supporters of kamala harris in battleground nevada and let's just say you could count them on one hand. later in the nightcap. >> no endorsement i think sends a message to both parties. >> i don't mean to disrespect here but no endorsement also means you can have it both ways. and you are not taking a stand. >> we are not looking to have it both ways at all. i take a stand every day. >> trace: why did the teamsters declined to endorse donald trump despite 60% of members favoring him? is the nonendorsement a win for trump or a slight weight let us know x and instagram @tracegallagher, we will read your responses, coming right back.

kamala harris getting a postdebate bump but good news when it comes to the former president when it comes to enthusiasm in key swing states. chanley painter is live with more on the state of the race. >> reporter: the race for the white house remains razor thin in three key battleground states. you remember some of those swing states like wisconsin gave us a margin of a little over 20,000 votes back in 2020. brand-new polling shows vice president harris leading former president trump by five points in pennsylvania and michigan. and she's out by a single point in wisconsin. that's essentially a tied. however patrick murphy, the director of the university polling institute notes that former president trump is doing

much better with motivated voters then with the overall electorate. that includes voters who may not have turned out in 2020 and that enthusiasm could make all the difference in key states like nevada where a cbs reporter could find only three harris supporters after visiting multiple spots in the silver state. watch this. >> what was really incredible is in every single restaurant, the people willing to talk to us, we could only find one harris supporter in every restaurant and we left no stone unturned. but people are really excited about trump. >> reporter: listening to the vice president on the campaign trail, she has been warning her supporters do not treat her like she's a front runner. >> we are the underdog, let's remember that and know that. we know how they play, we know how they play. >> reporter: and just to give a sense of exactly how close this race is, the folks polling also say we are now at the point

were turning out 10,000 extra voters in a key swing state could likely determine the outcome of this contest. >> trace: indeed, chanley painter live in new york, thank you. let's bring in rnc national spokeswoman elizabeth pipko along with the author of what's killing america, seattle talk radio host jason rantz. welcome to both of you. elizabeth, to you first, he might have heard chanley painter talking about how the cbs reporter went out and literally no stern -- stone unturned and said there's a lot of excitement for donald trump. i want to play some of the sound she got and we will get your response. >> i want someone who's strong, who demands respect and who gets respect and who can deal with foreign leaders. i think trump is the guy. >> everybody feels that at the grocery store, the gas pumps and yes, i do contribute that's a biden. >> sometimes the solution is you have to tear it down and rebuild. >> i'm extremely concerned about the border. >> there are people who have come here illegally.

why do they get pushed aside? >> trace: cbs wasn't surprised by that. i was not one bit surprised. what about you, what is your take elizabeth? >> i certainly was not surprised, not by what the voters are thinking and saying but also not by the fact that they could not find kamala harris' supporters. this is a great example of the difference between a narrative and our reality. i think ever since 2015, 2016 people have been trying to paint a different narrative than what exists for the american people and their daily lives, including joe biden saying the inflation rate wasn't what it was when he came into office and so many other things, especially talking about the enthusiasm surrounding donald trump. that's why people have been surprised with trumping the front runner he's been since he announced his run in 2015. i hope people are paying attention because this is important. it does not just matter for november. this matters because the american people have to know that what they feel, thank nc is what matters, not what the media

wants them to believe. >> trace: here is what we call the kamala harris repetition edition. watch. >> i was raised as a middle-class kid. >> i grew up a middle-class kid. >> i grew up a middle-class kid. >> i intend to create an opportunity economy. >> creating an opportunity economy. >> an opportunity economy. >> what i call an opportunity economy. >> i started my career as a prosecutor. >> a career prosecutor. >> my career, having a background as a prosecutor. >> trace: soon we are going to ask voters what do you like about kamala harris? i like that she was raised a middle-class kid. we don't know anything else. >> it's my understanding that she's a former prosecutor as well, in case you did not catch that. obviously when you don't want to focus on any policies because you know that they are either deeply unpopular or will basically get a reaction of why did you not implement them over the course of the last three and

a half years, you essentially have to create a story, a narrative. obviously frequency cells. however if that's literally the only thing you are hearing has a potential voter, you are going to start to pick up on that. it's one thing to watch the news may be ten minutes a day, maybe give it bit more time over the weekend and only get little nitpicks of little tiny moments of these answers, but every single time, every single time you are hearing the same thing and i think that gets really boring for folks and they see right through it. >> trace: don lemon telling msnbc that black men will not eventually support trump. watch. >> i think that may be men who don't have agency, that white men have been society, maybe it's aspirational to them and they want to be like him so they say they will vote for him they would elizabeth pipko, it's not really that they like trump, his bravado is what he says. >> and he knows best, right?

he knows what every single american is thinking and feeling. it goes back to what i said about the narrative versus reality. i'm sick of people telling the american people how to think and feel and vote. that's on what we are supposed to do. i'm a spokesperson for one of the major parties in this country and i try to avoid that. i want people to get excited about the options in front of them, the possibilities that come with a trump presidency. i don't want to tell them how to vote, i want to inspire and excite them and not tell them they are wrong for supporting one candidate or the other. i hear it every day, the american people are sick of this attitude. >> trace: by the way kamala harris has another accent, jason, watch. >> hello to all my -- brothers and sisters.

[♪♪] >> trace: hundreds of people injured, at least 20 killed in another round of explosions inside hezbollah's home country of lebanon, this time walkie-talkies and a solar equipment that blew up. let's bring in the foreign desk

editor-in-chief and un watch executive director, thank you for coming on. senator tom cotton made a good point today about these exploding devices. he said this... >> whoever is behind these bombings, how do you think hezbollah operatives feel right now about using their cell phone or their tablet or their laptop or turning on their car ignition or even using the toaster or the coffee maker or the refrigerator? of course these explosions are going to wreak havoc inside of hezbollah. >> trace: he's right, they have to be a little jumpy inside lebanon. >> this is what's been going on for years, psychological warfare. this was an unprecedented attack and a lot of war experts are calling it that in the sense that it was so targeted, so impactful, it caused physical harm, it was so precise but also delivered a very important message not just to hezbollah but to hamas and of course the is rob -- islamic republic.

>> trace: former cia counterterrorist specialist said this was that hell of an operation. probably the most impressive intelligence top i've ever seen, they've now restored that notion of deterrence based on the year. this notion that israel has eyes everywhere. it reminds me a little of the killing of ishmael and iran put on a bigger scale. what you think about this? >> there's no question that in the history of modern warfare, we are not aware of a more precise pinpoint targeted operation which exemplifies principles that the un is supposed to care about. and yet incredibly un secretary-general, do you in humans rights chief have found ways to condemn israel without offering any other alternative way that israel could have more precisely targeted terrorists who have been firing 8500

missiles at israel unprovoked since october 8th. >> trace: it's amazing to me. the israeli defense minister said the following, the center of gravity is shifting to the north, this means we are moving forces, resources and energy to the north, i estimate that we are at the start of a new phase in this war. is it moving north, and if so does iran respond, what happens? >> this is a wake-up call for everyone. this war with hezbollah and lebanon was imminent. so many times we talked about if it would be now. now it's as though they've been so embarrassed that if there's going to be a war it's going to be now. whether this will be in conjunction with the islamic republic, willie launch an attack from iranian soil or will they wait and recalibrate and launch it from hezbollah in southern lebanon or will they do something in cahoots with gaza and the west bank? we know israel is fighting this war on multiple fronts but the one thing i want to add is the symbolic attack that this was an

iran's regime. iran's regime attacks women on the streets protesting and they gouge out their eyes. so many of these hezbollah operatives lost their eyes in this war so the poetic justice and the symbolic attack serve here is quite significant. >> trace: the washington post asked, hezbollah device attacks, is this a prelude to war or an alternative? is there an alternative to war? about 30 seconds. >> absolutely. hezbollah has to stop firing missiles at israel, it has to withdraw from the area which is south of the river under un resolution 1701, hezbollah is supposed to be disarmed. hezbollah has to end the terrorist war they started that allowed nearly 100,000 israelis to evacuate to return to their homes. the moment hezbollah stops the war against israel, peace will come immediately. >> trace: hillel neuer, lisa

hill, johnson and three other women mathematicians who played a key role in the space race received recognition from a grateful nation, along with the congressional gold-medal. they were given the rewards posthumously. their lives were portrayed in the movie it in figures based on the book. also awarded today, doctor christine, now 82, retired from nasa after a 40 year career. she became a leading specialist on aeronautical design and sonic booms. now with their stories told on the big screen and with their congressional gold-medal's, these women who were known affectionately at the time as computers are hidden figures no more. [ applause ] >> reporter: jennifer griffin, fox news. it was always automatic that democrats get the teamsters and they said we want to endorse -- we won't endorse the democrats this year. that was an honor for me. >> trace: former president

trump calling the teamsters nonendorsement a great honor, so why did the union declined to endorse trump even though 60% of it's members favor him? is the nonendorsement a win for trump or a slight to trump and why? let us know x and instagram @tracegallagher, we will read your responses as always coming up next in the nightcap. [♪♪]

[♪♪] >> trace: we are back with the nightcap crew, kevin corke, chanley painter, matt finn, jason rantz, steve hilton and lisa daftari. tonight's topic, union contribution. why did the teamsters union declined to endorse trump today, is the nonendorsement a win for trump or a slight to trump and why? jason, what do you think? >> i think this is good news for donald trump. obviously if he were to get the endorsement, that would have helped a bit but at the end of the day, whether teamsters or teachers unions, they rely on the left-wing media to prop up a lot of their positions and help them in their cause and i think they just did not want to turn this into a negative teamsters, you know, storyline, which is what i think a lot of the left-leaning outlets would have done. >> trace: kevin corke. >> if you know you know.

you know this is a huge victory for him without having to say it broadly. yes, it's a big win. >> trace: steve. >> i think it's both. it's a win for trump but it's also a slight. the win is with the members where as the slightest from the leaders. that shows you the disconnect between politically activist leadership and the actual workers. >> trace: chanley painter. >> i'm with the consensus of the group especially considering that the group hasn't endorsed since 1996. >> the union said they could neither get harris or trump to commit to issues but i would rather get the endorsement of the majority of the rank-and-file. that is the honor like trump said it is. >> trace: it feels a bit like you won the football game and they are saying they will decide the winner later. if you came out on top in points you should give the person his due. lisa. >> i think unions are synonymous with the democratic party and if

the union members want to trump and the bosses could not commit, that means trump wins. i think it's a positive. >> trace: a positive as long as you can convince people it's a positive. x it so win, roxanne says huge win, unions are always all in on democrats, meaning they aren't giving her manpower. robert, a win for trump and a cowardly move for the teamster bosses. michael, teamster leadership and democrats are in a quid pro quo relationship, you kind bite the hand that feeds. tomi, it's not a win, there's no gray area, they are either in together or not. carly says a major union not endorsing a democrat is a big win for trump and adonis says it's a win for trump simply because they did not endorse a democrat. fairpoint. thank you for watching america's late news, "fox news @ night". i'm trace gallagher in los angeles, we will see you back here again tomorrow night.
