Breaking tonight, president trump back in the nation's capital this evening speaking at the annual moms for liberty sub it, standing up for parental rights in their children's schools. It's a group that his opponents campaign calls antieducation extremists. Here's the former president. I'm for parental rights all the way. I don't even understand the concept of not being. The parents truly love the kids, okay. Some of the people on the boards, i think they don't like the kids very much, what they are doing. You have to give the rights back to the parents. Kevin: looking pretty relaxed there. Earlier today the former president putting kamala harris on blast in the battleground state of pennsylvania, telling prospective voters there that her first televised interview of the campaign made her look week. Look, people will see who she is. All you have to do is watch yesterday. The that's not a president. That's not a president. And we can't let that person destroy our country. Kevin: plus mister trump making 2 major campaign announcements related to reproductive rights, saying if elected he will make sure that the government helps to pay for ivf treatments and that he will personally vote against florida's sixweek abortion ban come november saying that is simply not enough time. Dr houman hemmati will react to that and more in a few moments but first to correspondent lucas tomlinson keeping an eye at the action for the moms for liberty event and joins us from dc. Reporter: good evening, kevin. President biden excuse me, former president donald trump found a receptive audience at the moms for liberty summit. They call it the joyful warriors summit after flying in from pennsylvania, kamala harris is first interview came up since becoming the democratic nominee. Former president trump said he does not expect her to make anymore. She's not good at it i guess, and they knew that. They knew something that we did not know. I think she would have been better off if she did interviews, even if they weren't great. Now we see she's a defective person and we don't need another defective person as president of the united states. Reporter: trump spoke to moms for liberty, a group dedicated to what they say is returning more rights to parents and protecting against government overreach. The group, the justice department has labeled domantas terry took domestic terrorists. One of the reasons trump came to address them is to boost his numbers among suburban women were he's down in the sun belt states. The cofounder of moms for liberty said they want to stop changes to title ix and keep boys out of girls sports and their locker rooms. We are trying to sound the alarm that the harris walls mac ticket is the most radical antiparent ticket. My message to american moms is this, you need to fight like a mother. We rose up in 2020, we took back our schools and we need to rise up in 2024 and take back our country. Reporter: donald trump brought up his visit to arlington national cemetery on the three year anniversary of the abbey gave bombing. He did not address the controversy about the allegation that one of the members of his team shoved a member of arlington national cemetery because he was not supposed to be taking photos of former president trump who said he took photos with victims families at their graves at the request of the families. Kevin: lucas tomlinson, thank you. Meantime earlier today mister trump was campaigning in pennsylvania where he attacked kamala harris for her joint interview with a running make to malls and her election year policy reversal on fracking, a major issue in the keystone state. Correspondent chanley painter life at that side of the story. Reporter: hello my friend. Former president donald trump wasted no time sharing what he thought about his campaign rivals joint interview last night, telling a crowd in pennsylvania that in his opinion it made kamala harris look week. Did you see her? did you see her last night? did you see her last night? i don't know. You think she will be able to handle president? i don't know, i don't think so. China, north korea, russia, i don't know. Reporter: trump also did not miss the opportunity to bring up fracking, an issue very important to pennsylvania voters and what many believe is a major policy flipflop for harris since she took her first run at the white house. Will you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking your first day in office? there's no question i'm in favor of banning fracking. You still want to ban fracking? no, and i made that clear on the debate stage in 2020, that i would not ban fracking as vice president i did not ban fracking, as president i will not ban fracking. Reporter: trump said pennsylvania voters won't be fooled. The people of pennsylvania are smart, they are not going to fall for her. She will destroy if you don't have fracking, you don't have a commonwealth. Reporter: now pennsylvania employs some 100,000 people in the fracking industry while fox polls show the race tied in that key battleground state. A recent poll shows harris with a slight edge over trump, finding in a hypothetical two way race, harris receiving 50% support and trump receiving 47% support. In her cnn interview harris said while her values have not changed since she last ran for president, her positions on issues like fracking may have changed her campaign telling fox news her evolution stems from three years governing at biden's side. Kevin: all right, presto chango. Thank you. For some instant analysis of trump's busy day we want to bring in vivek ramaswamy's former director tricia mclaughlin along with rnc surrogate an attorney mehek cooke. I'm going to read a little bit of this excerpt from the piece in the new york times, a brilliant writer is talking about harris making careful use of joe biden on the campaign trail. This is interesting because we talk about possible flipflopping. Maybe she will be tied to his record as well. He writes in part, miss harris and the people running her campaign plan to use the president, but carefully and in a targeted way. The president and vise president will campaign together some but not too much and mister biden will travel mostly to the important swing states of pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan where he still appeals tote white workingclass voters and union members. Campaign advisors to miss harris and mister biden's aids in the white house who are carefully coordinating their decisionmaking have decided there is no real advantage for the vice president and making it clear a clear public break with the president or his policies. I mention that because joe biden was never against fracking, kamala harris was certainly against it back in 2019 and now looks like they are sort of trying to blend their policies together. What say you? i agree, this is the biden harris administration and make no mistake, this shows you the hypocrisy of the democrat party. They have the audacity to come to the swing states and ask for your boat but when voters are asking biden to show up and be the commanderinchief, he refuses. We are paying him $400,000 a year and he's been sitting on a beach while world war iii may break out, while we have an economic crisis, housing crisis, there are so many issues they should be addressing to the american people. They are in office right now and they refused to do that. The fact that biden will come and put his hand out and ask for a boat, americans are smarter today than ever before, we know what's in our bank accounts, we know how much we are paying for the housing crisis and we know we can't afford tomorrow or the american dream. Kevin: very good point, especially about the idea that listen, i remember speaker johnson said after joe biden decided he wasn't going to run for reelection that if he's not fit to do that he's not fit to be on the job. We've barely seen him, except for the convention, and i'm just wondering if now they are going to roll him out there a little bit more, may be idea that hey listen, kamala and i are one. Is that even smart in your opinion? i don't think so. If i were advising kamala harris i would say stay as far away from joe biden as possible, create as much daylight as possible. He was a historically unpopular president. She was a historically unpopular vice president, but she has to wear his policies and her policies around her neck now. Major inflation, double what they came into office with. Twenty% higher prices. She's floating price controls just to get the prices under control. Foreign policy, we are facing two major wars, one in the middle east and one in ukraine. Not to mention the immigration crisis which under her watch, ten to 15 million people were allowed to illegally enter the country. There has to be culpability somewhere and people recognize that kamala harris by all intents and purposes is the incumbent, she's not going to bring change, it will be four more years of biden harris radicalism. Kevin: it's interesting you mentioned illegal immigration. Kamala harris lately has decided that yes she's for a border wall of course before she was certainly against funding for that and now she's a latterday convert of pro fracking. That hasn't gone unnoticed, not just by the media but by her opponent, president trump. Listen to what he had to say about that tonight. Throughout history people have gone into one or two areas where there's a difference. You like something and then all of a sudden it's but almost every single thing, in fact we are seriously thinking about sending her tomorrow a maga hat because she loves everything we are doing. So we are going to center a nice bright red make america great again hat. Kevin: i don't care who you are, that's funny. In 15 seconds, your thoughts on may be sending the vp a maga hat i mean we should but she's not going to drill, baby, drill. She said it herself, her values have been changed. That means she does not stand for what she says, her policies aren't going to change, she's not going to drill and i warn every person in pennsylvania, if you want your jobs, if you want the economy, if you want to survive and build the american dream, over president trump. Kevin: trisha, you can wrap us up. I think it will be mighty difficult to explain how she separates herself from the president and yet at the same time she wants to distance herself from some of the things that did not go so well over the last three and a half, four years. She squandered that interview opportunity yesterday. It could have been a gift for her. With kid gloves. For her to answer the question, why did she flipflop and why did her positions evolved. She really just double down and made it clear as mud. Kevin: that is always key. You can say you've changed your position but you should explain why or at least when you decided you were going to have a presto change out change of heart. Thank you for joining us tonight, we appreciate your time. Meantime we are taking a closer look tonight at how the mainstream media and the harris campaign have been reacting over the last 24 hours to the candidates big cnn interview. With that we welcome national correspondent griff jenkins with more. Reporter: good evening. Homerun, crushed it, earth shattering. Not ways anyone in the mainstream media is describing harasses interview performance last night. It seems the only thing remarkable about it is that after five weeks she finally sat down for an interview. This was some of the media reaction last night on cnn. There was sort of a collective exhale, including from harris, advisors, biden advisors, because they know that some of her worst moments have come when she does not give a confident interview. She was very connected, she seemed strong and competent. She seems like someone who could be president. Reporter: in the reviews did not get much better today. I think the headline today is that there is no headline. We got more of what we already knew kamala harris was. A vapid tosser of word salad. I think she did well and did not do any harm. I think we saw why it took her 35 days to do the interview. She was weak and it was artificial. I think she did more than just get through it. Reporter: in print the new york times wrote kamala harris showed her tendency towards winding answers in the cnn interview but said nothing likely to cause her serious political trouble. In the guardian, they said harris was doing enough to clear the bar and doing herself no harm. Turned an interview into a soon to be forgotten pit stop along the campaign trail. And as for what her opponent thought about it, trump gave it a oneword review, writing boring in all caps on social media. The two faceoff and a debate for the first time ever in less than two weeks and that they not be so soon forgotten. Kevin: boring, oneword, very pithy. Thank you. We want to continue to have the conversation with the spectators washington editor amber duke and townhall. Com columnist spencer brown. I try not to laugh but it is funny. It's quips like that that people relate to. As you saw there from former president trump. But i want to get everyone else's reaction before i get you to way in. Here's another clip of some of the reaction by the media to the big interview. She did no harm. She's asking the american people to vote for her on the merits, on her experience, on her positions. I thought she did very well in that interview. They should be feeling good about it in part because there were no mistakes. I don't think she move the ball much but she certainly did not fall back. So how many more times? i don't know how much that matters and i do get a little nervous, in the media we are preoccupied with how much access they get nervous and the media, how much axis. You are running for the presidency, help me out here, don't you want more access? you absolutely do and i would like to applaud you for bringing me on so amber does not have to do this interview alone. [ laughter ] a critical step. But i mean the analysis, generally vapid and ridiculous. I disagree that she did not do any harm. She basically admitted that her policies have not changed and that takes us back to 2019 when she had a policy page on her website and those policies are far to the left of where joe biden was and why she did not have a shot in that primary and why i think donald trump is doing a very good job of pointing out that she's a radical san francisco progressive. Because those are her policies and she said that she has not change them. Kevin: what's interesting to me, amber, is this idea that you can say you have changed your mind but you can look at someone. People are smart, they can sense if you are selling them a line for political expedience versus you really are a true believer and what you are saying. I don't think she came across as genuine in her interview as some people are suggesting. I don't think she did. She was deliberate leave egg. The only answer she was pinned down on was the fracking answer, and she lied. During her 2020 vise presidential debate, she did not say what her policy was on fracking, she said but joe biden's policy on fracking ones. Let's reset the conversation a bit. All of these mainstream media figures are talking about this, that she did not do any harm. This is the exact same way they were talking about joe biden prior to his debate with donald trump. That should not be where the bar is set, that's the bear minimum. Kevin: that is so shocking to me. I want to share something though. I found this really interesting. The wall street journal, the editorial board there, basically seem to suggest tonight that this is working, why change it. Listen to this, the harris campaigns that is that vice president can soar to victory on a cloud of general promises, platitudes and joy. The campaign is betting the press won't care and they are betting that mister trump won't do the homework and does not have the discipline to focus to expose any of this in debate or consistently on the stops. So far it's a winning wager. That is a surprise at least to me. Do they have it right? i don't think so. Donald trump as we saw in the clips, even if he does not have the facts and numbers and specific metrics, he comes across better than she does in an interview. Everything with the harris walz interview, even the set was bad, you just did not work. It did not seem presidential or inspiring. Trump leaning back in his chair, that comes across way better and's messaging cells better. I think it's interesting they think she can soar through without having to answer the questions. The press showed that they can hold the biden harris administration accountable when they pushed joe biden out but now they don't seem to care. Kevin: we will talk about that more later, the idea that the press is sort of catching on. I'm not so sure the journal has this right. I agree. I think it's by design that kamala harris is giving all of these vague answers. Or policy changes have not come from the horses mouth, they've come from either anonymous or some lowerlevel named campaign staffers and she still does not have the policy platform on her website. She's setting up a scenario where she has plausible deniability once she gets into office, to revert back to those radical policies of the 2019 campaign. Kevin: let me followup, i'm trying to understand why the american people aren't more angry about this. We are talking 68 days between now and an election of the leader of the free world, and you don't have a lot in the way of answers, you don't have a lot in the way of information. How are these polls, the way they are suggesting she's winning, and voters don't know much about what she stands for? i don't buy it and that's what's frustrating about the media pundits talking about this as if it's a political strategy. To an extent, yes, you are running a campaign, but at the same time, from a basic democratic perspective, the american people have the right to know and deserve to know where you stand on the issues. Kevin: spencer, 30 seconds. I agree. The american people will be making a very consequential decision and if they are going off of vibes, that's not a good enough reason to pull the lever in the ballot box. I think she owes it to the american people if she's asking for their trust in vote, she should be answering these questions one way or another and at this point it's just kind of a retread of the basement campaign we saw in 2020. Kevin: it worked for them then. But i think more americans are on top of it. You get more information from more sources, people are relying on just the mainstream media. I think they can smell a rat when there's one out there. Great to see you. Amber and spencer, thank you. Coming up, an update on the death of actor matthew perry and the doctor who has been charged in his death. Later in the nightcap, in a rare break from the usual, even the new york times is taking aim at kamala harris following her muchhyped cnn interview last night, calling her answers, wait for it, vague and vacuous. That criticism comes on the heels of an earlier piece in the economist which said she lacked charisma and time. Out we are asking you tonight, you think the media is finally turning on kamala harris already? and if so, why do you think it's happening? let us no one x and instagram, @foxnewsnight, and we will read some of your responses and i expect they will be plenty.
