vaughn, stay with us, we're going to continue our conversation. a short time from now, president biden and vice president harris will be traveling to maryland for their first major political event since the vice president replaced the president at the top of the ticket. meanwhile, later this afternoon, former president trump will be holding a news conference at his golf club in bedminster, new jersey, this comes one day after he delivered a speech on the economy that frequently veered into appearance attacks on the vice president. >> she cast the tie breaking votes that gave us record inflation and for nearly four years kamala has crackled as the american economy has burned. what happened to her laugh? i haven't heard her laugh in about a week? that's why they keep her off the stage. that's why she's disappeared. >> vaughn hillyard is back with us and joining our conversation, kayla gardener, white house correspondent for bloomberg, tara setmayer, former communications director and co-founder and ceo of the seneca project, and msnbc political anal

vaughn hillyard, nbc news, ashboro, north carolina. >>> all right, vaughn hillyard, thank you. >>> here in chicago this is a far different democratic convention from the one originally planned. "meet the press" moderater kristen welker joining me now. this ticket is only three weeks old and now this huge test. >> that's right. kamala harris and tim walz are facing the test of their political lives and it's particularly critical for tim walz that he land this speech tonight. he's got to introduce himself to the country when so many people say they are not familiar with him, so i am told to expect him to cast himself as a former teacher, a veteran, and also a family man, and that is reflective, that tone is reflective of what we've heard throughout the course of this convention, which has been reworked over the course of four weeks now. the goal here is really to convince people that kamala harris will take the country in a positive direction when many people are dissatisfied with the direction the country is headed. lester. >> these delegates now taking their seats as this is about to ge

vaughn hillyard reports. ♪ >> reporter: the political winds of the 2024 presidential election swirling again today with new polling from four sunbelt states indicating vice president kamala harris is making gains on former president donald trump. "the new york times" sienna college poll showing the rivals within the margin of error in arizona, north carolina, nevada, and georgia. states where the polls showed president biden trailing in the race before harris took over the top of the ticket. >> hello, nebraska. >> reporter: her running mate tim walz campaigning in nebraska where he grew up. it's one of only two states that splits its electoral college votes. >> the people in this state are decent people who show kindness, who show generosity. >> reporter: in battleground pennsylvania today, donald trump kicked off a multistate swing designed to counterprogram the coming democratic national convention next week. >> are you better off with kamala and biden than you were under president donald j. trump? i don't think so. >> reporter: for his part, president biden at camp david today worki

to the new philadelphia police station to meet with neighboring millersburg police chief, thomas vaughn, but she's unable to hear anything that's being said. >> the police officer introduced me to the police chief who was going to be conducting the voice stress test. they just said it's like a lie detector test for teenagers. they did some preliminary questioning to talk to him, help him relax. we had nothing to hide. no big deal. >> sitting there behind the glass next to cindy was detective urban, who she considered a friend. their kids went to school together. >> the voice stress test would be kind of a prelude to the next step. and if you fail the test, now we're going to take it a step further. >> that "relaxing" conversation turned into an 80-minute interrogation, all recorded on audiotape. >> did you do this crime? >> no. >> i can only help you if you help me. you're sorry you did this, aren't you? you didn't mean to kill her, did you? >> i didn't kill her. >> i think that both of us know that something happened out there. >> and then chief vaughn hones in on race as a possible mo

with us now nbc's mike memoli and vaughn hillyard and jeff bennett, co-anchor of the pbs news hour andcal contributor. vaughn, there's new information about the controversy surrounding former president trump's visit to arlington national cemetery. >> reporter: we're getting more details over what was described to be a brief altercation at the site there as donald trump was visiting section 60 of arlington national cemetery. this included a trump campaign staffer as well as an official from the cemetery who was helping oversee that visit. we have obtained the instructions provided by the cemetery to the trump campaign ahead of this visit. there's two direct lines i want to look at. one was grave side visits by families and guests will follow arlington national cemetery's policies. photographers or any other purposes in direct support of a partisan politic cam campaign are not permitted on arlington national cemetery. the trump's campaign put out a tiktok video and other content from that arlington national cemetery visit marking the withdraw from afghanistan that led to 13 u.s. service

joining us now to go over that, nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard, also nbc news chief political analyst, chuck todd, and "punchbowl news" cofounder and msnbc political contributor, jake sherman. i know you wrote about this today. i want to read a line from goldberg, trump and his enablers created the vibe and now they're being hosted on it. >> he created a cult of personality, it's fine, you know, i've been chomping at the bit to either make an apprentice metaphor or not, but, i mean, this is the gary bussey celebrity apprentice season 15, right? like he's desperately trying to recreate the 2016 vibes, right, and that's what's really happening with him right now. and in fairness to him, he's not the only candidate where when things go wrong, you sort of go back to your political womb, and for him, his political womb is 2016. that was the one he won. so that's why you hear talk of kellyanne conway coming on the plane. maybe she can talk him into being slightly more disciplined because she seemed to pull it off for 11 days at the last 11 days of the campaign in 2016. but, you know

for opportunities to gain advantages to try to regain some of that momentum that's been lost. >> vaughn loud he's working hard to try to define kamala harris. what does that even look like right now? >> he had this rally in atlanta, georgia, on saturday night, notably while kamala harris is scheduled to go to the seven battleground states this week, we are not going to see him publicly until friday night in bozeman, montana, for a rally. >> which is not a swing state. >> it's not. there's a major senate race. i want to let everybody listen to part of the way in which he is characterizing kamala harris as you heard in the intro, often in very demeaning ways but also in ways that are catastrophic, suggesting if she wins office there's going to be a great depression. take a listen. >> four months ago he was considered grossly incompetent by the fake news. now they're saying, oh, isn't she wonderful? isn't she wonderful? no, she's not wonderful. so we have to work hard to define her. i don't want to even define her. i just want to say who she is. she's a horror show. she'll destroy our coun

with us now, allie raffa, nbc news correspondent vaughn hill hillyard in bozeman, montana, and an msnbcical analyst. so allie, the vice president and trump have agreed to one debate. trump wants three debates. how is the harris campaign viewing this? >> reporter: yeah, jose, vice president harris has agreed, has committed to that september 10th debate on abc news, and she had done that weeks ago after we saw former president trump waver in his commitment to that debate after agreeing to do it with president biden, and after the president dropped out of the race and endorsed kamala harris, he wavered on that. we saw him recommit to that debate yesterday. she says she will be there on that debate stage. as for the other two debates that he brought up yesterday, that september 4th debate on fox news as well as the september 25th debate with nbc news, we still haven't heard from the campaign whether she is confirmed to attend those debates. but we have seen her in the past be open to more than one debate. so at this point we're still waiting for that commitment from the harris campaign, jos

vaughn, trump seems frustrated with all the focus on harris. none of us knew what to expect from him yesterday until it happened then called him a stupid question. that's why he's not out campaigning more. he down played the importance of abortion in this cycle. what was the motivation behind yesterday's press event and does his campaign think it was effective? >> reporter: i think it's more so of whether donald trump thinks it was effective. for him, he believes he painted a contrast with kamala harris in terms of setting the stage for what the future under a democratic administration would look like. you were there in that room there and i think this is the part that is emblematic of trump here in the 2024 cycle. with less than 90 days left, yesterday's press conference was i think indicative of where we should expect him to go moving forward. that was painting a dark picture about what the united states would look like under a kamala harris presidency. but when it comes to actual substance and policy, your two questions to him i think were p

we're joined as well by nbc correspondent vaughn hillyard. vaughn hillyard, you are at a trump rally that they're not calling a rally because it is not the size of a rally and it seems they don't want their rally to be compared to the size of the harris-walz rallies. but tell me what this event is. is it people in a venue with a podium in the middle and remarks planned? >> nicolle, this is an economic address. it is not a rally despite looking like one. i want to be clear. the campaign has structured events like this frequently over the years, right. the campaign sometimes has one idea of a theme but then so often donald trump, he may refer to a few lines and in this instance about the economy, but then as he so often does, go off the script here. this is being billed as an kl after three weeks in this donald trump and his campaign have lacked a theme, have lacked focus. you heard nikki haley there bemoan the fact. but it is not just nikki haley. it is donald trump acolytes. those have been ride or die through the years including in the last

here is nbc's vaughn hillyard. >> reporter: vice president kamala harris holding a sold out fundraisern san francisco after she and her running mate, tim walz, gathered massive crowds this week in pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, arizona, and this weekend in nevada. >> so good to be back in las vegas. >> reporter: the crowds rivaling the republican's republican nominee donald trump, including at his event in montana. >> they said oh, she had a big crowd. >> reporter: trump accusing the vice president of faking her crowd size at this michigan rally, posting on his social media platform "we caught her with a fake crowd. there was nobody there." that assertion definitively false. thousands appearing at each of her events. the harris campaign responding trump has still not campaigned in a swing state over a week. low energy? a new poll shows harris leading trump among likely voters in michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin, within the margin of error. on the trail, harris out thing a policy proposal. >> we'll continue our fight for working families of america. including to raise the minim

vaughn, yesterday he had this economic policy speech, light on the economics, today he's holding a press conference. what's it about? >> reporter: right. and yesterday at that event in north carolina, he said he was told that the economy was the major, most important issue, but he was not so sure of that himself. he did talk some policy around the economy. he said cutting electricity prices in half, though not articulating exactly in a details form how he would go about that. today, 24 hours later, we expect him in front of his bedminster club to talk more about the economy and the reason we believe that to be the case is because this time he has what you can call some props. outside at a table that we just caught our eye on were some boxes of cereal as well as some bread, some coffee, and so i think the point that you made in your introduction there, we can expect to hear donald trump at least point and reference the prices of grocery items over the course of the last year. he is dealing with the reality at the same time, katy, that two years ago, inflation was at 7.5, 8%, and is now do

vaughn hillyard, we've been reporting this week on the former president struggling to stay on message, many of his allies encouraging him to do so, what is trump campaign saying about expectations for this press conference? >> reporter: this is a press conference where we, from the eye i caught a few moments ago, the expectation after yesterday's rally in north carolina billed as an economic address, focus a little bit on economic policy, veered off into personal attacks on kamala harris, but this event is clearly designed or intended to at least hold up the prior price of grocery items over the course of the years of the biden administration. two years ago inflation was up 7%, 8%, it's down under 3%. with 2 1/2 left until this election, there's been urging from allies for trump to focus on policy. >> vaughn, the harris campaign said it's open to a second presidential debate in october only if former president trump shows up to the first one september 10th, it used to be we didn't debate debates, what's going on with this back and forth here? >> reporter: right, usually it was the pre

trump is speaking with a very well-known podcast or in an interview that is going viral with theo vaughn former president has never had a drink or a drug, theo vaughn is in recovery, they had an interesting chat, here is part of it. >> outages do cocaine. [ chuckling ] >> mr. trump: that is down and dirty right? but you don't anymore? it. >> i'm not doing it anymore man. >> mr. trump: is it too much to handle? >> i don't know where they were getting it from this country but it started to make me feel like i was a mechanic or something. >> mr. trump: say went back to alcohol? >> at what i want probably is cocaine but are know if i have a drink, all will be like, okay,, i had a drink i can do this. >> mr. trump: is cocaine stronger? >> yeah. >> mr. trump: way up with cocaine? >> cocaine will turn you into a damn owl homie, you know what i mean? you will be your own streetlamp. >> mr. trump: is it a good feeling? it's a miserable feeling? >> martha: very interesting conversation as a former president trump reaches out to very popular podcast are is including theo vaughn per that is the stor

vaughn hillyard is with the trump campaign in north carolina.cused on national security today, what is the form er say about policies on national security. >> reporter: he said a lot as he does. national security specifically, he referenced the fact that russia took war into ukraine during the biden administration and then hamas had its biggest planned attack on israel at any point in recent decades and unlike during the trump administration, he urged this crowd to harken back to a time where he was president of the united states and had control of the oval office, contending to this crowd he would be able to pick up the phone and stave off military conflicts and he mentioned the fact that he had a relationship with north korea's kim jong-un, this is for donald trump a political message where he's warning of a potential world war iii-type situation, of course a lot of donald trump's actual plans to counter or to get the united states out of potential conflict has not been laid out clear. he's not offered any details. he's not commented either on

vaughn, j.d. vance defending his comments about abortion. give us the full context.you have new reporting on trump campaign hires. >> reporter: right. we are two and a half months away from the general election. you have j.d. vance, who is a novice and some not too distant old statements coming to light. this is a moment where the campaign is looking at the reality they are behind in a great many battleground state polls. would there be a shakeup within the campaign organization? the answer here just in the last hour is yes. number one, corey lewandowski. folks will recall he was donald trump's initial campaign manager back in 2015. corey lewandowski is re-joining the trump campaign here in 2024 for the home stretch. also, donald trump's one-time body man, political advisor after leaving the white house and the head of the maga inc. super pac is moving over to the campaign infrastructure as well as additional hires. this afternoon in bedminster, there's going to be a press conference at 4:30 p.m. eastern. undoubtedly, we will hear donald trump talk about the new addi

nbc's vaughn hillyard is in one of those states in pottersville, michigan, vaughn, what's trump doing here? >> reporter: he's actually going to be speaking here momentarily at a steel plant here in potterville, michigan, before making his way to la crosse, wisconsin, of course two key battleground states. for donald trump, this is very much so about building a coalition or at least parts of a coalition. donald trump, in order to win here in november, he is going to have to juice his particularly white rural support. numbers that he reached in 2020 while also trying to attract a larger number of voters of color. now, in 2020, nationally, he won about 12% of black voters. and this campaign believes that they can make even greater gains despite kamala harris now being at the top of the ticket, and they have a new ad where they're trying to build on some of that support that they were able to garner in 2020. and they're trying to cut into kamala harris's solid support among the black community. take a listen to the new ad from the trump campaign. >> i am not with kamala harris. >> i am no

what are we expecting, vaughn? >> reporter: this is the first outdoor event since butler, pennsylvania, when donald trump survived that assassination attempt. you can see the bullet proof glass on the front and the back side of this podium here. we expect donald trump to take the stage at any moment. j.d. vance spoke to the crowd. take a listen to a little bit of his counter message to the stage in chicago. >> donald j. trump represents something so many in this country need. it's important to recognize it, we need hope in the united states of america. >> reporter: we maybe heard the word hope spoken from that chicago stage by particularly michelle obama just last night, but of course it's a republican ticket here that is trying to, in its own messaging, use the term about its future for america. i want to also be clear, today's event, chris, is supposed to be focused on national security, and j.d. vance as part of his remarks was talking to the crowd, suggesting there was no war in ukraine, under the trump adminis

nbc's vaughn hillyard is in bozeman, montana.ategist and former aide to the klobuchar and clinton presidential campaigns. matt gorman is a republican strategist, former senior communications adviser for tim scott for america, and former nrcc communications director as well as aide to jeb bush and mitt romney. good to see all of you. okay, vaughn, in one of those very beautiful cities in a very beautiful state, but nobody's idea of a swing state. i think 2020 trump won there by 16. so what does his campaign think he can really accomplish by going there? >> reporter: right, they should be out here in montana hanging out with me. when you're looking at the senate map, look, this is one of the senate races that could change whether republicans have the majority come 2025 or not. if you look for republicans, all they got to do is pick up one or two senate seats. if donald trump and j.d. vance win, j.d. vance could be that tie breaking vote. if it is a 50/50 even split in the senate. when you look at west virginia, the expectation is t

mark leibovich and vaughn hillyard, thank you. i want to go to mike memoli who's in savannah with the harris/walz ticket, campaigning. this is the rally they're ending their bus tour with. you heard mark talk about how kamala harris isn't respond to go a lot of this. j.d. vance told her to go to hell for being upset with donald trump for what happened at arlington cemetery, but kamala harris hasn't mentioned any of that. is she going to? >> reporter: first let's talk about what the harris campaign wants to be talking about today. we'll see the vice president after this interview with cnn hit the bus tour again. small businesses talking about the important issue of the economy, and then she's going to come here to this arena where she wants to lay out that contrast argument, talk about project 2025, the governing blueprint as they argue the trump/vance ticket. contrast that dark and dangerous vision with what they are calling a patriotic and optimistic agenda. it's been a week since she accepted the nomination in chicago. laid out

vaughn hillyard is covering the trump campaign. gabe gutierrez is joining us from the white house.oody. vaughn, this trump event today comes after what was meant to be an economy-focused speech yesterday. at least that's what the expectation was from his team where he, again, seemed to veer offtrack. >> right, ana. we're here down the road from his bedminister club ahead of what we anticipate and what the campaign has called and billed a press conference at 4:30 p.m. eastern this afternoon that we plan on attending here. but last night you noted in ashville, north carolina, this was an event that the campaign wanted to come across as an address on the economy, not a rally. even though it looked much like a rally and, of course, this comes after more than three weeks in which the campaign and donald trump have struggled or willfully chosen not to stick to any direct theme or messmessage. that is where last night donald trump took the stage in this economic address. one of the things he said is that he and his campaign team, the economy is the most important issue but that he was not

vaughn, good morning. what more are we learning from trump while democrats rally in chicago?plans? >> reporter: right, this is one of the lines we heard last night up on stage from president biden is the fact that when you look at violent crime, this is an event here today in michigan where donald trump is going to be appearing with local law enforcement at a local sheriff's office here, and the fbi crime statistics show that violent crime in the united states is at its lowest point right now than at any point during the trump administration years. and that it has steadily declined since the height of the pandemic when the biden administration came into the white house here. so, for donald trump, he continues to depict for the american people, though, that crime is at a staggering rate and it is infecting communities around the country. i want to let you listen to another part of that interview yesterday, though, because for donald trump, a lot of what he has been talking about in recent weeks, like you just heard, are those personal attacks against the top of the democratic

i want to bring into the conversation, nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard, in beautiful montana. it's also got one of the most contentious senate races on the map. democrat jon tester versus republican tim sheehee there. >> reporter: especially when we're talking, ali, in the idea of donald trump's political pro es, not only when he is on the ballot, the 2018 election cycle, 2020 election cycle, 2022 election cycle, there were senate candidates expected to win. it was trump-backed gubernatorial candidates expected to win and over the course of the last three cycles, there was a turn to donald trump and an understanding that he was the backbone of the republican party and frankly, if republicans are not able to, again, regardless of whether donald trump wins the white house or not, be few these trump-backed senate candidates are not able to knock off incumbent senate jon tester here or the likes of tammy baldwin or bob casey in pennsylvania, or sherrod brown in ohio, or ruben gallego in arizona, suddenly it calls into question whether this is the best sort of political decision ma

. >> joining us now, nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard, any sense, vaughn, that this double speak on what he did or did not do for the border bill is going to hurt him? >> i think to the extent to which kamala harris in a presidential debate brings it up and hammers home the points and who was associated with it, we heard in one of the speeches last night, a reference to an oklahoma senator, james langford who was one of the authors of that bill that ultimately donald trump, you heard him say, blame me, he was the one who began making phone calls to congressional republicans to try to quash the measure from being passed. it should be made clear that that border security measure, right, for decades, we have talked about immigration reform, usually democrats demanded either a pathway to citizenship or legal status was tethered to border security funding measures, and that's not what played out in this measure here. so for donald trump, it's no coincidence on the same day kamala harris is set to make her acceptance address to the nation in chicago that he's down here on the border. w

vaughn, we just heard from jd vance.arly, the trump campaign is already focusing in on what they call the governor of minnesota's record. what do you think they are looking at right now. there was such uncertainty as to who the vice president would pick. what does this message tell the trump team? >> this pick comes 91 days away from election day here. and tim walz is largely an unknown commodity to the american electorate. this is where jd vance, he was announced at the republican national convention, right before he was about to take the national stage and able to introduce through his own biography on prime time television who he was. this is a little bit different here. this is where you see trump allies trying to get out in front in framing for the american public who tim walz is. the trump campaign fundraising message that went out to supporters, quote, tim walz will unleash hell on earth. the trump campaign is claiming that harris bent the knee to the radical left. there's a new video that the trump campaign put o

thank you. >> thank you. >> bill: hillary vaughn, thanks. >> dana: talks resuming trying to bring ano the war in gaza. not everyone is at the table. hamas, the terror group that started the war on october 17th, is not at the talks. so at this point, if hamas says they will not come, does the united states continue to intn benjamin netanyahu to make more concessions? >> i think our hope for obta obtaining ceasefire are evaporating. u.s. has been applying pressure. if it result in survival of hamas, and complete withdrawal of israeli forces that cross israeli red linsey lines. >> dana: who would you trust to do a better job on foreign policy, trump 52%. i listened to hr mcmaster yesterday. you were there. do you think america has that right, 52-45? >> i think the 52 part makes sense, not sure about the 45. i think it should be higher. president trump in my experience guided by common sense and placing united states interest first. d disruption to trade in middle east impacts american consumers and inflation for every american. the policies of trump administration are in contrast. we ha

thought police, although free thought triumphed in this case, miss vaughn spruce has highlighted thet this type of action could create. as this case proves, there has been an obvious clampdown on certain points of view. indeed labour is considering a ban on silent prayer outside abortion clinics. well, i'm joined now by isabel vaughn spruce herself, as well as lorcan price, her barrister and legal counsel for the alliance defending freedom of speech. alliance defending freedom of speech . isabel, thank you very speech. isabel, thank you very much for joining speech. isabel, thank you very much forjoining me. speech. isabel, thank you very much forjoining me . although much for joining me. although you've won, this has been a very stressful process, hasn't it, from from beginning to end and taken many months . taken many months. >> yeah. i mean, clearly i'm delighted with the result and that the police have, you know, taken some ownership of the fact that they've been treating me disgracefully for so long. but like you say, it's 20 months plus since this first started in december 2022

vaughn hillyard, how does the campaign feel, the trump campaign feel about having the mics on? and i ask about that because donald trump seems to have a different feeling about than his campaign does. listen to what he told our embed, jake trailer. >> would you want the microphone muted in a debate whenever you're not speaking? >> we agreed to the same rules. i don't know. doesn't matter to me. would rather have it un, but the agreement is that it would be the same as it was last time. in that case, it was route muted. she wants to get out of it. she's not a good debater. she's not a smart person. >> trump would say he's a master at debating. how does the campaign feel? >> he doesn't need to prepare much, he told jake here. he started off the morning suggesting that the harris campaign was wanting to change the rules from what was initially agreed upon by the two camps, and of course, usually when the presidential debate commission is the one overseeing this, there's not much room for back and forth here. for the trump campaign, it was the harris team trying to suggest susie wi

vaughn, a ton of attention on walz today obviously in this announcement. what are we expecting from the trump camp? >> i think number one, let's look at minnesota and ohio. the two states where the respective vp candidates are from. the two states between them are michigan and wisconsin. donald trump choosing the americaner, and that's what -- midwesterner, and that's what kamala harris has decided to do. but will see vance and trump at his mar-a-lago estate, he has a rally coming up in boseman, montana, friday night. j.d. vance is going to be following the ticket around. they're not rallies, but he's going to deliver remarks to press cameras here. i think from the initial statement from donald trump's campaign, it's interesting the points that they point out. quote from the trump campaign statement, from proposing his own carbon-free agenda to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, walz is obsessed with spreading california's dangerously liberal agenda far and wide. the mention

maria: hillary, thanks very much hillary vaughn, joining us on capitol hill, liz peek jump in not firstime google has been questioned but whether president trump said that to me last week i thought to myself shut down what is he referring to obviously, he is aware of the debate underway on what to do with some social media companies that have become so powerful, powerful enough to control our information flow. liz: always a different answer different excuse this is not first time google meta, by the way, meta just as pad on this assassination, they called the picture of donald trump with a bloody ear fictional, told users that in fact whole thing was made up, i mean what are we going to do about this? i think what trump was talking about was antitrust case has been remarkably, decided against google for having too much monopoly power so what are they going to do? in is under discussion now, the justice department is considering breaking up the company. requiring the divestiture of assets or putting rules on them one might be how about fair treatment how about, unbiased, search results?

larry: kamalanomics, hillary vaughn. >> it has a ring.larry: we'll t talk soon, joining me now, steve forbes, to talk about this and liz peek. and fox news contributor. so, apart from kamalanomics versus bidenomics. here, i will pause it. liz, there is a lot of lousy economic news, not saying we're in a recession yet, there is a threat of recession, i call this the front end, people are worried. i don't see between the vice president and her new running mate a single growth oriented policy on energy taxes, rig regulations and student debt, and entitlements and spending on u.s. dollar, not anything. i don't see anything remotely about growth, i think that a problem and a big opening for the trump-vance ticket. >> yes, because, they have no economic policies so far. you go to web site, i'm sure un, you get a advertisement that asking you to donate money to campaign, there is nothing about any issues. i don't think she can just skate on the surface all the way through the election. in her rally she talked about making housing more affordable

joining me now are my guests and vaughn hillyard. we heard senator vance's comments. will that be the end of this conversation? >> in no way do we expect this to be the end of the conversation. it solely gets at the heart of the u.s. military commitment overseas too. we have heard this democratic ticket criticize the former trump administration and its ticket for its commitment, for instance, to ukraine, and whether the u.s. in 2025 would continue to provide military aid, financial assistance as well to ukraine, and so this is where i think could be a welcome conversation from bothet of these men in a vice presidential debate. of course, jd vance served in the marine corps himself, served six years in iraq. for these two men, i think they're both eager to go toe to toe over their record and service, not only militarily, but in public office. if you're tim walz, you were in the office and as governor. i think it's an expectation that we should continue to see this play out in the next 2 1/2 months, and especially we should expect a debate when that takes place. >> we h

liz: always terrific reporting from hillary vaughn.s from the governor salary and a teacher pension. does this make him out of touch with the economy. bob, always great having you on and pleasure to see you again. you've got to ask, can he handle a recession? i mean, america is the financial capitol of the world. huh can he run it without being invested in it? >> yeah, it's an interesting comment and others going to the grocery store being shocked by the cost of food and bread and others and the way i want to talk about it is we talked earlier about resto less funs and what we'll go to a a more controlled spin, prioritization on issues going to get the economy growing again. day one of this administration, surrendered energy independence and get back to reestablishing energy and energy independence with certainty and stability. it is the bones. it's the bones of this economy. let's take the burden of the consumers and corpo corporationd not compete against corporation withs subsidies and lower taxes than we do here in the united states

fox business hillary vaughn live from the white house with the latest. good morning. >> good morning, cheryl economists at goldman sachs think a recession is more likely than it was before. economists raising likelihood from 15% likely to 25% likely. this after last week a weak jobs report triggered recession could be on the cusp americans are already insecure unsure about how things are going, finding only one in four voters say economy is in good or excellent shape a "the wall street journal" survey found that voters prefer former president trump over vice president kamala harris on the issue of the economy, by 12 points. democrats not doubting their strategy or their policies saying going to keep doing what they do when it comes to the economy. >> look. i think what she is going to be doing is telling american people, what they have been doing, there is no -- uh no doubt that there is fear anxiety for working families all across this country the history the record of vice president of the is very president. >> voters will make democrats own this econo

maria: thanks very much haley vaughn white house president biden sitting down for first interview sincereelection bid it is now 18 days since vice president kamala harris took over the ticket, her campaign web site still has no information about her economic plan, the page offers harris waltz biographies nothing about policy, bernie sanders meanwhile, is all-in touting harris-walz progressive ideas pushing back on cori harris v.p. calling tim walz a radical. i think to the degree that vice president and governor can stay focused on economic issues, the benefit working people demands the billionaire class paying fair share of taxes i think got not only wonder i think they have a chance to win pretty big. >> you want to attack radical i will help pay for the ad. >> "the wall street journal" reports the progress tax plan could foreshadowed what is to come as minnesota economy no success story under governor's watch the crux of the campaign we have no information whatsoever about what kamala and tim want to do. >> i am fascinating by speeches that start with on day one of my presidency i am

vaughn hillyard is following it for us. >> jd vance there, i want you to listen to a bit of his remarkst ahead of his running mate donald trump appearing two hours west later here today in york, pennsylvani take a listen for the beginning of the counter-attack. >> pennsylvania is an edge credibly important state to me and president trump. it's a state with a proud energy position, a produce manufacturing tradition. we believe if we make more stuff in america, pennsylvania workers, and pennsylvania families will benefit, so we'll be here a lot, taking our message to the whole state. >> donald trump 48 hours ago had ute rally in wilkes-barre, pennsylvania, so for this ticket here, this is just the beginning of what is, frankly the busiest campaign trail week for donald trump since he launched his bid back in 2022, not only the stops here in pennsylvania, but making his way to michigan, north carolina, arizona, nevada here, all this week. chris, this is a campaign unlike one that donald trump has run before. in 2016, 2020, with hillary clinton and joe biden, biographically, and on policy a

maria: hillary vaughn, reaction. carine: i think harris needs to address friendly and unfriendly media doesn't have a policy on campaign web site i think last night's interview could pose some problems for former president trump just because republicans are winning on issues the economy, winning on immigration, winning on inflation and foreign policy that is really all that they should be talking about, along rambling media appearances aren't going to help the president unless really focusing or former president unless really focusing in on those winning issues kitchen table issues. maria: what do you say chris former president trump emd hairs failure to secure border also reversals of policies like this one. >> i want to you know -- when you become president would you be committing to close thank you immigration detention centers. >> absolutely, on day one. on day one. >> trump pointed out increasing migrant crime under biden-harris administration here is that. >> they also say they did a good job on border we had w

joining us with all the details is fox business correspondent hillary vaughn, hello, hillary. >> hellodge. mark zuckerberg is getting a lot off of his chest. he penned a letter to congress that reads kind of like a confession of sins admitting that the biden-harris administration essentially browbeat them to censor americans over covid-19 content. zuckerberg writing this: i believe the government pressure was wrong and i regret that we were not more outspoken about it. i also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information we wouldn't make today. zuckerberg says they were also wrong to censor the hunter biden laptop story writing it's been made clear that the reporting was not russian disinformation and in retrospect we shouldn't have demoted the story. the white house though wouldn't do anything different. reacting to zuckerberg's admission saying, quote: our position has been clear and consistent. we believe tech companies and other private actors should take into account the effects their actions have on the american people while making independent

hillary vaughn is at the white house. a tough spot for american workers to be in today. >> it's a really tough spot and doesn't seem like the harris campaign is interested in turning around the way things are going, the direction they are going in. this is the worst jobs report since 2021, the first year biden and harris moved into the white house. backtracking progress the harris campaign has been bragging about to voters on the campaign trail. they won't to own economic wins but blame the economic bad on their predecessors. they try to distract from the poor report talking about former president trump's record saying quote, donald trump failed americans as president costing our economy millions of jobs and bringing us to the brink of recession. but we might be on the brink of a recession now underharris's leadership. economists think a recession is more likely than before raising the likelihood from 15 for25% we'll head into a recession. democrats aren't doubting their policies. they are confident that they need to keep

vaughn hillyard is on his way to that event and has more for us. >> reporter: good morning. to forgive me for being on the side of the road here making my way to that event here where donald trump and jd vance are slated to appear together for the first time on the campaign trail this week. donald trump in michigan yesterday for an event that was tailored to be focused on crime and law enforcement. today's focus, the campaign says, on national security. we have heard very little from donald trump in terms of responding to the substance of what was up on the stage in terms of speeches from the first two nights of the convention. his advisers and allies have been quick to make reference to how many times donald trump's name has been brought up by speakers on the stage. they have compared that in number count to the number oftimes that the border and inflation have been explicitly talked about from that very same stage here. for donald trump here, he's not shied away from the personal insults. michelle obama, who warns democrats that more unfair attacks will be coming kamala ha

. >> bill: hillary vaughn at the white house. >> the harris campaign is doing damage control after this brutal jobs report shocked economists showing that employment -- unemployment is much worse than they thought. the unemployment rate today is the highest it has been since 2021. the first year of it president biden and harris took office. there is campaign spokesperson trying to distract from the report talking about former president trump's record in office saying donald trump failed americans as president costing our economy millions of jobs and bringing us to the brink of recession. but we might be on the brink of recession right now under harris's leadership. economists at goldman sachs think a recession is more likely than before. raising the likelihood from 15 to 25%. democrats are not doubting their policies pledging to keep doing what they are doing. >> is there anything the administration will do differently now to work on this? >> you know, we -- it's not a change in course but it is a continued commitment to the course we've been on. >> are we in a recession? >> we're defin
