pete hegseth is here, a fox news contributor and iraq war veteran. welcome, everyone. so hillary's downturn in this poll, do you think that's due to james comey and the way he laid out the case against her and poked holes in so many lies she sold? >> i think so. the republicans and democrats are fixed in positions or the email scandal. it's the independents that are affected the most. there was a 2-point swing amongst independent voters in florida. she was up 22, now down 9. what have they been hearing. comey's statements were the most powerful part of it even if the last two minute meant she wasn't going to be prosecuted. kennedy: there were a lot of analysts who sat back and said he could have done so much damage to her reputation because he's a non-partisan entity in all of this. but as you see from the nbc-marist poll, the polls will be all over the place. can we expect more shifts and bounces? it seems we can't get a handle on a trend. nbc pushed up to release their poll by five hours. the pen veins yeah poll quinnipiac put out show hillary is fine. kennedy: it sh

. >> fox news contributor pete hegseth. what's your response? audience rejects their existence. >> i hope they regret supporting hillary clinton at this point in light of that kind of reaction. it exposes the true core of the modern democratic party which in many ways has always been since the vietnam war anti-military, anti-war, anti-vet, anti-american leadership in the world and utterly lacking in true and real patriotism. the patriotism for the convention, dnc convention has all been reactive. they didn't have flags, they didn't talk about vets, they didn't talk about defeating isis. suddenly flags showed up, suddenly vets showed up. now general allen gave a strong speech, but i don't understand his endorsement in light of the fact that he saw the policy of obama and hillary clinton and how ineffective it was and isis and then he watched how the party reacted to him. basically dismissive. >> you believe that they separate hillary clinton's philosophy from barack obama despite the fact that she supported a war in libya where there was no after
