the president reportedly not giving up on his fight to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. and we will be told the plan will tell some type of executive action paid possibly an executive order. christopher bedford s editor in chief of the daily caller, and roger fisk worked on both of obama s presidential campaigns. and on the 2010 census during the obama administration. great to see you. i want to get to you, roger. why and how did you get the question that was already on the census taking off, which is basically a citizenship questio? it wasn t on there. first off, harris, thanks for having me. it s good to be here with you and christopher. it wasn t on there in 2010. when we administer the last census, i was in a appointee at commerce. we were under budget. there is a process for getting this kind of question onto the census. it requires the issuing of three
california senator kamala harris is making big gains in the national polls, riding high, you might say. after a debate performance last week, she confronted former vice president joe biden on race and his record on busing. now the latest quinnipiac university poll, harris has jumped to second place, just two points behind biden. with that would bring in boyd matheson, former chief of staff for republican senator mike lee of utah, and roger fisk, who worked on both president obama s campaigns. nice to see both of you. roger, she s two points behind biden. is this peaking too early, or does she have a real chance at it, do you think? it appears either roger is ignoring us or can t hear us. one of the two. the results the same. we ll go over to boyd. you saw her in that debate. obviously president trump and his team are watching as well. so many people walked away that i ve talked to you to switch to kamala harris side and now say essentially the reason they have is because they see her
organization, strategy, structure, and discipline. that s the name of the game. this is a long-haul pursuit and you ve got to build it out properly. leland: roger, we would know it president trump s playbook is against whoever is e democratic nominee. he s going to call them a socialist and say they are for open borders and for abortion on demand. that s the playbook right there. does any of these folks, as they are trying to rise in the democratic primary race, have to do any blocking and tackling to try and essentially fend off that attack before it comes in the general? no, because i think you are right. it s going to come no matter what. you could have a center-right democrat from the 80s who is tough on crime and everything else, and the president will still try and tattoo them with the skipping record you hear from them all the time. it s best to go into next year expecting that. but the key thing right now is to not worry about steps 3, 4,
ropes, joe biden, during the debate. gentlemen, i appreciate it. boyd, roger, good to see. happy fourth to you. arthel: and on this independence day, fox news takes you inside a historical naval aircraft carrier museum. fox nation host abby harness active live in san diego. hey, abby. like you said, i am live here in coronado, california, where thousands of military men and women make it possible for us to celebrate a a day as specialist today. as you look around the coronado fourth of july parade, you can really feel this #proudamerican pride from everybody here. i had a great experience because i got to tour the longest-serving aircraft carrier of the 20th century, and really felt what it was like to be aboard the uss midway. check it out. you are going to 1 of
the president. leland: we bring roger back in, where i believe can hear us now. we ll toss the poll numbers back up. quinnipiac has kamala harris just two points behind joe biden. roger, to you. she is now in the top tier. arguably the woman on the rise now. what does she do with that 20%? does she take it out for a spin or just keep trying to add to it? first off, thanks so much for having me, leland. any candidate who sees a bump like this would be well served by keeping their head down and focusing on the organizing work. especially in iowa and the new hampshire and south carolina and nevada. there is a major counter component to this, that a lot of folks don t focus on too much. on our side, it s very easy to peek too early or peaked too late. i grew up working for john kerry, and you could very well say that governor dean peaked too early in 2003 and 2004. a lot of people say if the iowa
