it's happening here in new york -- >> oh, of course. david: -- of course, in chicago, portland and in seattle. and it should be noted a gallup poll just came out that 81% of black americans want either the same or more police presence in their communities than before. >> right. david: this runs absolutely counter to the rhetoric of black lives matter. and it leads to a question, exactly who does black lives matter represent? >> well, certainly the organization -- the words lower case letters black lives matter is, of course, true. all lives matter, including black lives. the organization, if you look at a what they believe which they publicly declare, it has very little to do with that. they work racial justice in there, but they -- several of their founders are marxists. so that's where they're coming from x. in portland we see antifa, we see anarchists, we see that same ideological grouping loosely organized, i would say, attacking not just federal law enforcement and federal facilities, but also the local and state. and you're seeing that

david willis, bbc news, los angeles. greg swenson is from republicans overseas uk. i spoke to him a little earlier. well, i think you have to have some balance and perspective. it was his speech on the last night of the convention. i guess if you wanted to look at vp biden and senator parris walking out with the masks, there is clearly a difference between the parties on where they rank the priorities, and it is amazing, the partisan difference, and when they poll democrats, by all means, over 7596 poll democrats, by all means, over 75% say the pandemic is the biggest issue, and when they poll republicans, it's the economy. and i think what he is trying to message is that a thriving economy is not incompatible with managing the virus. and it is important to balance both. but the economy isn't thriving and the virus isn't partisan, and this was the biggest

david: no, congressman, you have to look at the trend. you have to look at the -- we have an increase of 200% in violent crimes in areas of new york. 200%. chicago, look at it in baltimore. the trend is definitely going sky-high. i haven't seen a trend like this in a long time. >> david, david, why don't we, two of us, not debate it. put the statistics up, put them on the screen, then we can see who's right, who's wrong here. but the reality is, the democrats in this convention are dealing with the factors that lead to violence. clearly there are protests around the nation and clearly some of those are violent, clearly there have been the problems that you have mentioned in new york and chicago. as to whether they are up or down more or less, put the statistics up and we will do that. but let's also consider that the democrats in this convention, particularly joe biden, laid out a very positive vision about what america could be if we worked together. biden will not be a president that will divide. he will not be a democratic president, he said it very clearly, he will be an american president. and he said clearly and committed himself, u
