Security concerns in the Nations Capital as well. And over the course of 70 minutes, President Trump went through his unprecedented and historic accomplishments of his historic first term in office. President trump reminded voters as well that there is much, much more to be done, more battles for him to fight and to win for the American People. Together we have ended the rule of the failed Political Class are, and they are desperate to get their power back by any means necessary. Youve seen that. They are angry at me because instead of putting them first, i very simply said america first. [cheers and applause] so tonight i say to all americans, this is the most important election in the history of our country. There has never been such a difference between two parties or two individuals in ideology, philosophy or vision than there is right now. Our opponents believe that america is a depraved nation. We want our sons and daughters to know the truth, america is the greatest and most exceptional nation in the history of the world. [applause] lou the president also lit into his opponent, china joe biden. The president mentioned biden by name, in fact, some 40 times. Law and order featuring, well, featured prominently throughout the final evening of the Republican National convention, and President Trump himself made it clear americans can choose four more years of his law and order policies and and enforcement or joe biden who will side with rioters and marxists. Your vote will decide whether we protect lawabiding americans or whether we give free reign to violent agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens. And this election will decide whether we will defend the american way of life or when we will allow a radical movement to completely dismantle and destroy it. If joe biden doesnt have the strength to stand up to wildeyed marxists like Bernie Sanders and his fellow radicals, then how is he ever going to stand up for you . Hes not. 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, they will make every city look like democratrun portland, oregon. No up one will be safe no one will be safe in bidens america. My administration will always stand with the mening and women of Law Enforcement. [cheers and applause] lou the evening, the final evening of the convention filled with emotion and elegance. The widow of retired st. Louis Police Captain david dorn choked up while she talked about her husbands death at the hand of looters. She made this argument against the radical lefts rampant if violence looters are ransacking the shop. They shot and killed david in cold blood. And then live streamed his execution and his last moments on earth. Davids grandson was watching the video on facebook in realtime not realizing he was watching his own grandfather dying on the sidewalk. He was murdered by people who didnt know and just didnt care. He would have done anything to help them. Violence and destruction are not legitimate forms of protest. Lou the parents of humanitarian worker Kayla Mueller argued her daughter might still be alive had President Trump been in office at the time. Kayla was beaten and killed by isis terrorists in 2015 as the Obama Biden Administration failed to bring her home. And Alice Johnson. She threw her support behind President Trump last night and his work for criminal justice reform. President trump commuted her life sentence after she served more than 20 years for a firsttime drug offense. In the white house today, President Trump surprised johnson with his full president ial pardon. And what was the radical lefts reaction to such a night of great drama and poignant, touching speeches . Well, in some places more mob violation. Leftwing fanatic es targeting supporters of President Trump as they left the white house grounds last night, as they left for the evening. Georgia state representative vernon jones, a black democrat who supports President Trump, was among those surrounded and threatened by the leftist mob. Black lives matter activists also attacked senator rand paul and his wife. Listen to this. [inaudible conversations] [background sounds] move back move back lou the d. C. Police escorted paul and his wife through the crowd. At least one Police Officer was assaulted as they left. Senator paul this morning said there was no reasoning with that mob, and he is suggested some in the crowd were paid to be there. Im actually the author of the Breonna Taylor law, so the irony is lost on these idiots that theyre trying to kill the person whos actually trying to get rid of noknock raids. My feeling is that there is interstate criminal traffic being paid for across state lines, but you wont know unless you arrest them. I promise you that at least some of the members of the people who attacked us were not from d. C. They flew here on a plane. Theyve all got fresh new clothes, and they were paid to be here. It is a crime to do that, and it needs to be traced. The fbi needs to investigate. They were inciting a riot, and they would have killed us had the police not been there. Lou that leftwing National Media doing its best again to defend the leftwing mob. Politico wrote, quote protesters confront rand paul outside white house after rnc. Confront. Senator pauls wife, kelly paul, tweetedded this in response no, politico, we were not confronted by protesters. We were circled by a hateful mob shouting vile expletives, preventing us from moving. The scene after last nights Convention Comes as, well, little surprise to many. The radical dems have been inciting such violence ever since President Trump was elected. Heres just a sampling of some of their rhetoric. There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as theres unrest in our lives. You know, when they go low we go high e . No. No. [laughter] when they go low, we kick them. Go to the hill today [cheers and applause] get up and, please, get up in the face of some congress people. And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you get loud and you tell them theyre not welcome. This is a movement, im telling you. Theyre not going to stop. Lou not one democrat among them all has condemned the attacks last night against their fellow americans. Or an attack against a u. S. Senator and his wife. While the radical dems continue to condone and in some cases actually encourage partisan rage, President Trump will be turning his attention to the gulf coast where he will be going to console victims of the powerful Storm Hurricane laura. President trump plans to be in texas and louisiana to tour and see for himself the damage caused by that hurricane. At least 11 people were killed in the storm. The hurricanes remnants threaten to bring heavy rains, high winds to the northeast over this weekend. A recordsetting day on wall street to close out the week.

Is so tonight i ask you a simple question, how can the Democrat Party ask to lead our country when it spends so much time tearing down our country . [applause] in the lefts backward view, they do not see america as the most free, just and exceptional nation on earth. Instead, they see a wicked nation that must be punished for its sins. Lou President Trump last night said the party of hate cannot win in november. Breaking news now, a new study finds republicans twice as likely to hide their voting intentions to pollsters than democrats. Twice as likely. The study finds 11. 7 of republicans, 10. 5 of independents would hide their true opinions on their preferred president ial candidate. Only 5. 4 of democrats would do the same. Also breaking tonight, the radical dems in virginia apparently believe assaulting a Police Officer is now a misdemeanor. The state Senate Passed a bill wednesday that allows judges to reduce the charge from a felony if the officer is not injured. The bill also removes the mandatory minimum is six month jail sentence for assault ising a Police Officer. Assaulting a Police Officer. That bill now goes to the house of delegates. It has a democrat majority and is very likely to pass. Oh, yes, and they have a democrat governor as well. Joining us now to take all of this up, victor davis hanson, senior fellow and military history at the hoover institution, Professor Emeritus of classics at california state university, best selling author, National Review contributor, Great American, and it is great to have you with us, victor. Lets, lets turn to your impression of the contrast between two conventions, that of the democrats and the republicans. Well, i think lets start off with the mood, lou. I think the republicans came in the there thinking they were closing the lead and that the trajectory had changed and the may and june news cycle was not the september news cycle. And so they were upbeat not just because they are naturally about america, but they felt that they were going to strengthen what is a pretty good trajectory. The democrats came in there very worried, and they kept saying vote, vote, vote, weve got to get out the vote. And then during the Republican Convention we heard from hillary that biden should not concede under any circumstances. Almost assuming hed lose. And then nancy pelosi said there should be no debates. And then don lemon at cnn said, you know, the polls are not good for us, weve got to come out and condemn the riots. They must have been getting data. And when you mentioned polls that are somewhat skewed by the republicans reluctant to tell the pollsters what they really feel, theres two types that are immune to that. One are the betters in vegas, and about 85 of the recent bets went to trump, and the other internal polls. Nobody pays money to be lied to in confidence. And i think a lot of the democratic worry was that their internal polls are not showing a good trajectory. And its kind of important because one of the subtexts of the Republican Convention was to get joe biden out of the basement. And that run out the clock strategy, i dont think, is viable when the polls are almost equal or getting close to that. Is so i think there was a greater worry on the part of the democrats, almost a frantic anger, and it amplify their innate idea that america was founded in sin,s and it was flawed at its origins and the republicans contrasting view that, you know, we dont is have to be, we dont demand to be perfect to be good. So it was very different. And i think its going to be very different. I see these conventions as kind of recalibrating the entire campaign from a virtual candidate of biden to a virtual debate, into something very different. Its going to be, its going to be the wide open now, and i think biden can no longer hide. Lou yeah. It seems that its inescapable, he has to find some way to be at least somewhat animated, show some level of energy. It is highly risky for him given his many confused moments when he has been public. Its, you can understand his strategy which is to basically hide. But as you suggest, that may no longer be an option. Cam aha Harris Kamala harris now not taking questions from the media and the media not demanding she do so. The media not demanding that biden emerge from his cocoon and actually engage with the public. This is, this is madness. Theres no precedent for anything we are witnessing in this political year. No, it isnt. But i think, as ive said in another case, hes sort of a prisoner of his own paradox because he cant debate for the reasons that he detailed, but if he doesnt debate, hes sort of reduced to Clint Eastwoods empty chair when Clint Eastwood spoke at the 2012 Republican Convention. Theyll have a chair up there and trump will be talking to him, and it wont look good. And if he has a nonscripted press conference and he has a town hall meeting or he has a tarmac rally, its not going to go well. But if he doesnt, its not going to go well either because this strategy of playing out the clock was based on an 8 to 10point lead, and i dont think anybody believes either the polls are that accurate or that these internal polls reflect that lead. And so i think hes going to be pushed out. But if hes pushed out, he feels he has no confidence to wage a campaign, so now theyre turning to surrogates. And kamala harris, unfortunately, there was a reason why she didnt do well in the democratic primary, because shes offputting, shes shrill, and shes sort of, you know, race, race, race, race, race. She cant finish a sentence without saying something about race. And when she talked about the rioting as, you know, mostly peaceful and lawful, that wasnt true and people knew it wasnt true because they watch local television or fox news or youtube. So i think theyre going to have some problems that are going to amplify. And theyve been running, lou, against the virus and against trumps tweets and against the lockdown and against the recession and against the george floyd, that trump caused that. That cycle is changing. Trump is a much more disciplined, careful candidate than he was six weeks ago, and the virus is going down in daily case numbers in most of the country. The lockdown is now get 50 million kids back to school, which is popular, and people dont see much connection from looting a gucci store in chicago and george floyd or trying to burn up policemen as theyre barricaded in a barracks in portland. Is so that news cycle is no longer a tailwind for the democrats, and i think theyre going to have to change. Yet they think we have to change and biden has to go ott there out there, it cant be good. Lou were going to be back with more from victor davis hanson, and on the other sid
