>> ann dorn is going to be one of these very emotional speakers. her story or the story of her husband is something that really captured the imagination of conservatives during the george floyd protests earlier this summer. one of the things about having so many victims or families of victims speaking at this convention is the victims themselves are obviously no longer here with us to say how they would feel about it and two of david dorn's children apparently debra and lisa have both said that their father was not a trump supporter and they do not think he would have wanted his legacy to be used in a political fashion at a political convention in this way. it is one of those things where he is not here, unfortunately, to speak for himself and his children are not going to be here to speak with her. but this is going to be a really kind of one of those key, core messages that is going to be tying together the law and order idea and also this idea that protesters or rioters are ravaging american cities. >> so many african-american speakers this week

your reaction to ann dorn here? >> well, i mean, it's tragic.rs in my eyes, i'm sure most americans did when they were watching that. you know, we know where the president stands, and ann dorn explained that to the people. what do the democrats stand? kamala harris has repeatedly called for doations to the bail funds for rioters and looters in american cities. that's where she stands. and as the attorney general of california, what did she do for criminal justice reform or african-americans? she put a lot of people in jail, but she did nothing to make sentencing disparities more fair or anything like that. so the disparity and the dichotomy between the two choices could not be more clear. only president trump has solutions for inequities in our society and is lifting up people who have been discriminated against. democrats are offering more of the same. they totally have failed the african-american community, and that's why you're seeing so many leading democrats including legislators, mayors, community leaders, pastors, business owners flock to

one of the most powerful things before the president, juan, was ann dorn, the widow of david dorn.t. the president referenced here in his speech. her speech to the convention was quite powerful. >> yeah. i thought even the sight of her in the audience with her family and again, so interesting because it crossed racial lines. you can see people -- she's grieving over her husband's death and the violence in st. louis. but you know, again, i just -- i'm a little bit disappointed. my colleagues have said it was flat. i think president trump on script, reading from a script is not president trump on the ad lib being spontaneous. he has that magic when he's spontaneous, when he can stir a rally. that just didn't happen for him tonight. i expected there would be fireworks before that amazing show on the south lawn. those are the best fireworks that a fireworks lover has ever seen. i come down here on fourth of july. but that -- it struck me more as a rerun. we've seen so many of those lines before. it just didn't have the punch that i expected. even as someone that can be critical of the

you couldn't help but have your heart go out to ann dorn. >> bret: yeah. really compelling.d from senator rand paul trying to get out the rnc and the white house. take a listen. >> they were shouting threats, you know, to us, to kill us, to hurt us. also threats saying shout, shouting say her name. breonna taylor. it's like you couldn't reason with this crowd. so the irony is lost on these idiots that they're trying to kill the person that is trying to get rid of no-knock raids. >> bret: he's talking about the experience of being on the streets and surrounded by people yelling in his face. >> these were disturbing images and similar to the images that went vial hahn twitter this past week of a group of activists harassing someone dining outdoors in washington d.c. and taunting and harassing her to raising her fists in affiliation with their aims. this is fear in america right now that sense of fear should continue, will help president trump win the election. >> the thing that was noticed is joe biden, marc, has announced after labor day, he's going to be going out, campaigni

lee ann is sharing her story with the world for the very first time as she joins us now along with her husband philip dornrom their home in destin, florida. lee ann, i am just thrilled to see your face, to see that radiant smile. philip, you look like you're holding up as well, too,

the convention also heard an incredibly moving and powerful testimony from ann dorn whose ex-police officerband was killed by rioters while he was trying to protect a store in st. louis. >> i relive that horror in my mind every single day. my hope is that having you relive are it with me now will help shake this country from this nightmare we are witnessing in our cities and bring about positive, peaceful change. gerry: president trump pounded the issue of crime during his lengthy speech accepting the nomination. >> make no mistake, if you give power to the to joe biden, the radical left will defund police departments all across america. they will pass federal legislation to reduce law enforcement nationwide. they will make every city look like democrat-run portland, oregon. no one will be safe in biden's america. gerry: it was, on the whole, an effective convention for the republicans last week. forced to follow the democrats in staging a tv-only event, they showcased president trump's record on tax cuts, deregulation, trade, etc. but also in a potential appeal to voters who have been turn

my name is ann dorn.you to introduce you to my husband david, father of five, brother of 12, grandfather of ten, friend for thousands. he was a most kind, dedicated, loving life partner i could have hoped for. he had a big smile and a heart to match. he was blessed with the gift of gab and that gift enabled him to touch souls and inspire people especially young people. oh, how kids loved him and they really loved him back. dave was all about service. he served 38 years in the st. louis metropolitan police department and six years as chief of police. after 44 years, he retired from law enforcement, but he never retired from helping a friend in need. since he befriended every person he met, he was a very busy man. one example of that was his friendship with a man named lee. david met him when lee was just a kid after members of his family were attacked and murdered. dave took a special interest in the boy. they bonded and their friendship grew and remained strong throughout the years. lee eventually opened

greg: ann dorn did story that the immediate chose to ignore because it wasn't beneficial to them. the demonization of anarchy and protesters led to what was predicted here some time ago the mayhem begets mayhem period there's rand paul and his wife escaping the mob after trump's speech. what if there weren't armed officers there? so the mob groups everything set up the convention. >> mobs tore down cities while members of congress promotes the same socialism that my father fought against world war ii. the convention's theme is an fear freedom, freedom from fear and the fear of attack losing your home business, light bird this is a message we need to hear his or country at the mercy of brockers but that's what happens when leaders cower and the celebrity darlings choose to pat -- back lawlessness than those who fight it. connor lamb and stacy are missed the republicans have this guy from cuba. say aye i choose america. i choose freedom. there is no other place to go. greg: if you want to know who the enemy is why not hear from a guy who has seen the enemy before and today he is a r

what i thought interesting of her, i called her my winner of the week, her and ann dorn last week, she support for the police. so have black communities where they do not want to see defunding. yet democrats, you know, keep pushing the narrative that the police are part of the problem. i don't know how you can have it both ways? >> you cannot have it both ways and here's the problem for democrats, it is not just that they have their names on these cities. it is that their policies are creating the problems. basically we know it is the opposite of broken windows policing f you let people out of jail, if you institute bail reforms so that people aren't locked up for doing pretty terrible crimes like armed robbery, guess what? there are more criminals on the streets and if you coupled that with defunding or taking any money away from your police departments, you're going to, you're asking for trouble. charles: yeah. >> the other thing, charles, that really should be said, if you take the seven cities we're talking about right now that have such problems, that is about 20% of the gdp of th

how things could have been different under this president, how he's working on their behalf, or ann dorn was when he struck the biggest cord. or even the mom who was out there, who said she had a special needs child, and that she got credit in order to take her child to a different school where they were really helping him. these are all real people we can relate to who don't have an agenda, who are not trying to get power, and that was a genius move. more than the president's speech, i think that had the biggest impact this week. >> harris: you mentioned alice johnson, prison reform was talked about last night. i always bring up the economy, because that's what people say they vote most on. all right, we'll move on. federal prosecutors have announced dozens of arrests in portland, oregon, as people in the streets there may be shifting their tactic, some of them, after months of unrest. >♪ >> harris: and a tense scene on the streets of washington, d.c. you heard dagen touch on this, from last night. protesters swarming senator rand paul and his wife after they left the white house. nearl

. >> hello, i'm ann dorn. i'd like to introduce my husband david.her of five, brother of 12, grandfather of 10, friend to thousands. he was the most kind, dedicated, loving life partner i could have hoped for. he had a big smile and a heart to match. he was blessed with the gift of began and that gift -- gab and that gift enabled him to touch souls and inspire people especially young people. oh how kids loved him and they really loved him back. dave was all about service. he served 38 years in the st. louis metropolitan police department and six years as chief of police. after 44 years he retired from law enforcement but he never retired from helping a friend in need. since he befriended every person he met, he was a very busy man. one example of that was his friendship, with a young man named lee. david met him when lee was just a kid after members of his family were murdered. dave took a special interest in the boy. they bonded and the friendship grew and remained strong throughout the years. lee eventually opened a pawn shop. he trusted dave impl

that's what the president's message is, and ann dorn's pain really makes it palpable. but david's daughters, may he rest in peace, they say their father would not have wanted this speech to happen. that they -- that they believe he wouldn't want his name used to help re-elect donald trump. deborah white and lisa dorn join us, now. officer dorn's -- veteran officer dorn's daughters. thank you, both. i am very sorry to meet you, under these circumstances. i am sorry for the loss of your father. and, if nothing else, i'm sure that there should be pride in the family, that he is being remembered well for his service and his love and how people loved him. now, obviously, his widow, who gave the speech, is not your mother. but this isn't about the family. it's about how you want to remember your father. so, lisa, let's start with you. what do you want people to know -- to know about your father that did not come out at the convention? >> you know, let me just, first, start off by saying thank you for having us. on the surface, i felt like the speech was very, you know, was a

. >> my heart broke watching ann dorn tonight. she was so emotional, so personal, so vivid. about what happened. all because her husband tried to do the right thing and go out and protect, and when you look at what is happening in d.c. now, you have to pray none of that will happen in washington. what are they trying to accomplish in washington? i don't know yet. let's see what all of these videos need to, but did any of that happened in wilmington? did people descend upon joe biden and his speech in wilmington, for whatever purpose, to shout him down? and i saw also another video of people who left the white house to go to a hotel around the corner. mobs have descended around those people, and they are screaming and chanting and yelling in their faces. why? this level of mayhem is not good for our country and is going to hurt the democrats in november. >> laura: if you think america is an evil country, systemically evil, then the only answer is to burn it down. i mean, that is where they want to take this, ari fleischer, and i don't think -- i think you're right. i think, i

it's not just the people from housing it's the people who have the naturalization ceremony, it's ann dornho was not a trump supporter. they couldn't find enough black people to like trump so they had to trick black people into pretending like they like trump and later they were exposed. this was not a convention to bring people to the republican party. it was something they had to do because they had four nights of air time to fulfill. all trump and the republicans are doing is trying to consolidate power. they do not care about your vote. they want to make sure as few black, brown, white people they don't like -- they just sued two counties in iowa to stop them from sending absentee ballots. iowa. they don't even want white people to vote. it's not good and evil it's between fascism and a dictatorship and the remnants of democracy we still have. if we do not vote donald trump out. if black people and white people don't vote we don't have another free election for another 20 years. that is not hyperbole. that's what we have to remember. no matter what he tries to do we still have to vote

it becoming violent i think that is the case the president tried to make, i sat directly behind ann dornonvention. this cannot continue in america we have to keep communities safe kids should be able to walk streets of every race every gender without fear of being attacked and hurt and i think that is the message the president is delivering, and i think it is the reason that he is doing well will continue to do well leading up to november. dagen: sar sarah sanders get to see you. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you dagen. change the plan or stay the course? that's why northern trust is here. with specialized expertise... a history of success through every economic climate... and proven strategies rooted in data and analytics. giving you more control. clarity. and confidence. for now and whatever's next northern trust wealth management. dagen: nba playoffs underway dlaig start of police series strike beginning with bucks refused to play after shooting of being blake in her home state led to additional players other o professional athletes making statements, to -- nba commission

listen to ann dorn, the wife. >> looters were ransacking the shop.bell ran g. the chief of police was standing outside. i wondered why dave had not answered the door. i let in the chief and fighting back tears, he uttered the words every officer's spouse dreads. i relive that horror in my mind every single day. my hope is that having you re live it with me now will help shake this country from this nightmare we are witnessing in our cities. ainsley: there was a nice guy that helped him on the sidewalk that night, geraldo and he was yelling at the gunman, as the gunman is pulling away or peeling out of the parking lot and he said all for tv's you did that for tv's you wanted to steal tv's you took that man's life away his grandkids don't have their granddad anymore. geraldo: it is infuriating to me and that's why i'm so scornful of black lives matter, black lives only matter when it's a cop, preferably a white cop, killing a black man but here look at this wonderful wonderful here hero. this police captain. a black man doesn't his life matter? it is t

retired police captain david dorn's widow ann spoke of her tuesday individual killed at the hands of looters who live streamed his death as he bled out. >> my hope is that having you relive it with me now will help shake this country from this nightmare we are witnessing in our cities and bring about positive, peaceful change. we need to come together in change and remember every life is precious. judge jeanine: and mark and patricia mccloskey who testified their lives spoke of their pain as well. both dornan the d both dorne and the mccloskeys called for peace. bottom line. the left' blames america first, the right puts america first, and they want law and order back in america. that's bent message we chose to bring us out of the biden years. president's speech was a litany of the successes his administration achieved and compelling armed why joe biden cannot be elected president. president trump: make no mistake, if you give power to joe biden the radical left will defund police departments all across america. they will pass federal legislation to reduce law enforcement nationwide.

. >> peter, one of the most powerful speeches of the night came from a woman named anne dorn. her husband, a retired police officer, was killed during protests in st. louis back in june. he was standing outside a friend of his pawn shop trying to protect it from looters. people were very moved by anne's speech. but what people don't know is this man's whole story. when he was alive, he wasn't somebody who would ever consider speaking at the rnc. can you explain this to us? >> it was. she was one of the most powerful advocates for the president last night, speaking through tears about her husband's experience, his death at the hands of looters in st. louis in the wake of that rioting after george floyd's death. one of the st. louis newspapers spoke to the african-american daughters of david dorn, the stepfathers of anne dorn. that means that she was not their mother, and they say that this is not the message that their father would want delivered. here's one of the quotes that came from one of them. deborah white, one of the daughters says, we know his wife is a trump supporter
