You tonight. Trump's running mate j. D. Vance is here but, first, hide and go freak. That's the focus of tonight's angle. Well, here we are. The end of surgeon, at least in the political sense, and as the angle predicted, the state of the race shows us that kamala harris' post dnc bump amounted to kind of a dead cat bounce. In other words, nothing. In fact, if anything, donald trump is now the candidate who has the momentum edge. Nate silver, the polling analyst lash guru has done an extensive analysis and as of today, he has trump with a 56. 7% chance of winning the presidency versus harris with a 43% chance. Now, that is almost a 14 percentage point drop. Since his august 14th odds. Now, as far as the all important swing states, those odds are also in trump's favor, according to silver, again, his trend analysis has harris up only in the battle grounds of wisconsin and in michigan. Silver has trump with a far better chance at taking pennsylvania i guess not buying fracking walk back of harris. Nevada, arizona and georgia. By the way i love that governor kemp is putting party first there. Big event, i think, with trump coming up in the state of georgia. And trump's chances of winning north carolina, check this out. It's up at a whopping 69. 9%. According to silver. And that's not all. If this continues by the way. Get ready for the never trump heads to blow off the shoulders all across the country, four out of six big betting markets, that's people putting real money on this race. Are now favoring trump to wins a well. Gamblers were apparently unmoved by harris' performance during her cnn interview last week. Which did little to impress her naysayers and even earn criticism from democrat voters. Well her campaign staff has made or tried make a concerted decision for her to generally steer clear of the economy. Keep things kind of soft, by doing so they hope, they really hope that they can win over enough women voters by selling kamala not so much as a tough commanderinchief but more of a spunky lifestyle influencer. I slice up my garlic first, i chop up the bacon and get that you will fat going. Then i do vinegar. And then i heat do a little tabasco. Laura: well, watching that, all i could think was presidents putin and xi, oh my god they must be terrified. Now, the woman is terrified of unscripted moments that involve real policy. That's obvious at this point and by the way you know the tactic that sometimes like junior high or high school girls use when they want to avoid talking to a former boyfriend as he approaches maybe in the parking lot? yeah, you pick up the phone and you just pretend that you are talking to someone else and hope that he just keeps walking on? kamala is doing that, too. She has a corded phone. Picking it up. Well, turns out measure is not dumb. And the democrats had hoped. All you need are eyes and ears to sense that any momentum harris may have had. It was just entire media generated. It was long on social media hype and brat vibes but just short on substance. Sorry, i forgot how serious a guy tim walz is. Thank you. Thank you. Why did they ever think this would work? how arrogant to think they could carry out a coup against their own incumbent only to choose a candidate that they are obviously just embarrassed by. I have been covering this is my eighth presidential elections. I cannot remember any political campaign that had a lower opinion of its own candidate than harris'. Well, okay, i'm not counting joe biden post debate. Now, everything about this woman, and i mean everything comes across as phony. And comes across also as plotted out by overpaid consultants somewhere. And their job, remember, their job it is to round the clock make you forget how much you didn't like kamala ever since she first presented her sanctimonious selfat the kavanaugh nay hearings. Do you agree that it is possible for men to both be friends with some women and treat other women badly? laura: she had to read most of those questions. Yeah. I forced myself to go back watch that of course it was all scripted. Because she cannot be trusted to think or speak for herself. Total phoney. Now, honestly, when i first dubbed her kamala chameleon back on july 26th. I did not anticipate that she would really go full hillary on the fake accent. Who knew kamala was raised with a tennessee twang. You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time. Laura: weird accent for a detroit crowd and a gal that grew up in, what, oakland. Maybe someone told her how dumb she sounded because later the same day she changed her accent. Thank unions for sick leave, thank unions for paid family leave. Thank unions for your vacation time with that verbal range she is missing her calling. She really should consider a career in maybe, i don't know, cartoon voice over work or regional theater. I'm sure summer stock somewhere would love to have her talent. So leave the governance to someone who doesn't spend her days either cackling through recipe descriptions or ducking reporters' questions. This is getting harder to spin. As a senator then a vp, the woman has been on the national political scene since 2017. But the old obama crew is down playing her weaknesses, typical for just they are just at this point for a political newcomer. The fact is vice presidents are known but they are not known. She has done a very good job in the first phase of filling in information about herself, and she has made up a lot of ground. This is a neck and neck race. Made up a lot of ground. We have known her since 2017, david, come on. I feel bad for him. What else is he going to say? as we enter the fall push, and it's going to be a push. It looks like a neck and neck race for the white house. I realize a lot of you o a lot of you came up to me over the weekend i was in new england. You ever stunned that given harris' night mariucci record it could be this tight at all. How could it possibly be? yet, the democrats have a nominee, unscripted. Republicans. They are led by a man both members of the ticket. Who is already ended the political careers of hillary clinton, joe biden, and who has the most loyal and fervent fan base in american politics. And that's donald trump. And, of course, on the key issues, the economy, inflation, immigration, president trump has a cleared a vantage. Of course the democrats have the media. And, of course, they have a lot of money. And there are still drop boxes. You are going to worry about and last minute court cases. We will get into that. But they don't have a candidate who can actually do the job. And we know the chaos that such a situation created with biden so for pulling this hide the candidate routine again, it should cost democrats dearly in november. And that's the angle. Now cnn just reporting tonight that kamala harris is ignoring the pleas of her attorneys and certain media types and actually will l. Take another crack at introducing her economic policy. Now recall the first one including price controls and that crashed and burned it's going to shopping you to learn that kamalaomics involves raising taxes and letting the government spend more money on pet projects. Of course roll back to the trump 2017 tax cuts. One close adviser told cnn harris believes the federal government should use those expiring tax cuts to get at issues that evening the bottom line for the average american joining us now vice presidential nominee senator j. D. Vance. Senator, i don't know what that means because presumably, they have been trying to get at the the root causes and the really important issues for the last three and a half years. But what of this new kamalaomics the 2. 0 that she is going to introduce on the campaign trail to help the average american? well, first, laura, let's laugh at the fact that kamala harris is promising to do something that the american people give her promotion that she hasn't been doing for the past three and a half years as vice president. This is the lie at the heart of kamala harris' campaign that if you elect her, she is somehow going to be different than she already has been in office where her policies have caused higher grocery prices. Higher food prices and, of course, a wide open southern border. So we have to say that if kamala harris thinks these policies are going to do a lot of good and of course most of them are nonsensical if she thinks she are going to do a lot of good. Try them out now. Currently in power not promise to do something in the future when she is in the office in the present. That's number one. The second thing, laura, we have to remember, kamala harris' entire economic program fundamentally boils down to proglobalism, and american worker. She wants to raise taxes on american workers and reward companies for shipping jobs overseas. Sometimes subsidize them actively from manufacturing in places like china. And what does donald trump want to do? he wants to lower taxes on american workers, penalize china and penalize companies that are manufacturing overseas instead of hiring and building in the united states of america. It's a fundamentally different approach. And i don't think, laura, that you can build a middle class in this country by allowing the chinese to steal our entire industrial base. That's what kamala harris has done. And that's what she wants to double down on. Laura: well, she said yesterday, i believe it was, of course, in a tweet that someone else undoubtedly wrote for her that she is she doesn't think u. S. Steel, the company u. S. Steel, should be bought by a foreign entity. You know, nippon steal wants too buy it american company wants to buy u. S. Steel. You know, the government agency that looks at foreign transactions such as these, no movement yet on that. Do you believe her when she says she wants to protected u. S. Steel from foreign acquisition and if not why haven't they done anything on it? yeah, well, laura, if kamala harris wants to protect u. S. Steel and keep it u. S. Steel, i wonder if she knows anyone in a position of authority like maybe the vice president of the united states? she is currently in a position where cfius could block this transaction if the vice president did something about it. Now donald trump and i have been fighting this transaction since it was announced. But we have been fighting it me from the united states senate and, of course, donald trump as a citizen, you cannot do anything really except for try to force people like the vice president to act. And, again, it just drives home how absurd her entire argument is, laura, she is trying to say elect me president and i will somehow do all the things i haven't done for the last three and a half years. I just don't think americans buy it. Laura: senator, she now has a running mate, tim walz, being asked a question about the six israeli hostages killed. Watch his response. What's your reaction to the six hostages being found dead in gaza? thanks, everybody. Laura: he blatantly egg norsz the question, couldn't even muster a perfunctory response of outrage, shock and obviously prayers for the families? it's a softball to offer sympathies for people who lost their lives and an american citizen. The reason these people lost their lives is because kamala harris' foreign policy has led to chaos whereas president trump's foreign policy led to peace and stability. I actually think this is one of the most important selling points for president trump's agenda is when you project american strength and when you engage in smart flomsz, can you keep the world from blowing up. Kamala harris has us on the brink of world war iii. The innocent people who died in gaza are just the at this point of the iceberg tip of the i. If we give her more power. How can we expect her to sit in a room vladimir putin or xi jinping or the leaders of the world. She is terrified to sit for a friendly interview, laura, we cannot trust this person to negotiate on behalf 6 this country and she will blunder us in to a third world war if the american people griff her a promotion that's why we have to bring back donald trump. There's a real problem we have right now with military reyiewght, i know you know this well, the numbers that they are not hitting off by 10s of thousands so they're basically reducing the number of recruits that they say they need. It's a typical government weevil move. Senator, are we not getting ourselves in a position of woke leadership of our needing a military draft because of their policies and their handling of the military affairs in general in our country? it's a very important question. And we really are on the brink of serious readiness issues. Nobody wants to put on a uniform and serve in kamala harris' military. This is a person who wants the united states army to be about gender inclusion, ridiculous diversity politics instead of about serving your country and uniting together as americans to serve on the same team and defend your nation. She is also, by the way, laura, a person who wants to plunder us into world war iii and of course it's not her family that's going to be fighting that war. It's going to be working and middle class kids across the state of pennsylvania, michigan and wink. If you are a person thinking about joining the military, you are probably not going to want to sign up if kamala harris is the potential commanderinchief, we know that we can have a strong military. We just need strong leadership, laura, and i think if we want to fix that recruitment problem, the best thing we can do is reelect donald j. Trump, people trust his leadership. They also know that a military led by donald trump is about what unites us as americans and it's not about this ridiculous division of kamala harris. Laura: senator, people i guess they do these polls and say oh your favorability isn't as high as tim walz is. You know, there is a gender gap for your ticket compared to harris and walz. How do you go to the undecideds at this point, the shrinking pool of people and convince them no not only are you serious and seriously smart, but you are a regular person? i have known you for a long time. You are really fun, really funny, versus the giggle and vibe show that seems to work for a lot of women voters out there? you know, laura, my approach to this is just to get out there and meet as many people as possible. I know this is donald trump's approach, too. We don't do the scripted stuff. We don't only speak in front of the teleprompter. We actually like to get out there and give some unscripted remarks. Some press conferences and also just go out there and talk to people. That's what i'm going to keep on doing, laura. I don't put much stock in the polls. Even the polls that show us ahead. There are a lot of those these days. What i put stock in is the wisdom of the american people and the fact that if we go out there, make our case, don't hide behind the teleprompter but get out there and meet people. The american people are going to elect me and donald trump. I have no doubt about that. We have to do our work and we have got 65 days to do it. We are finding out tonight that jewish students on campus at columbia university are feeling under threat, senator. What will your administration do with president trump to protect students of all political beliefs and persuasions on college campuses feeling safe? you know, laura, it's very sinch. We're going to enforce the law. Nobody gets the right to harass their fellow students nobody gets the right to set up tent encampments and set up college campuses garbage dumps and forbid their fellow students attending class. This is not rocket science, lawyer. You need to enforce the law. Whether it's antijewish bigotry or any other kind of bigotry. Enforce the law. Make the crazy people protest within the first amendment and within the legal frame works that are appropriate. So long as you do that, these colleges campuses are going to be fine. What has happened, laura, a lot of administrators in the name of woke politics have allowed these college students to break the law. To say turn the campuses into garbage dumps to harass their fellow students. Just stop it. Enforce the law. Let everybody speak their mind but does it without harassing fellow students. It's not hard. Laura: senator vance before we let you go. Ultimate so loan online liberal journal, they are upset with your beard they are prepared prove he occupied with your beard. They are not talking about the g. D. P. And what it means to be a man. Vance working man's candidate his performance persuade rugged every man beard is one of his most important props. Senator vance, will you clear this up tonight for everyone watching? is your beard your best prop? ha ha ha. Well, laura, here's what i will say a few years ago my wife and i went on vacation. I didn't shave for a few days and she said you know i like the beard. You should keep it. I, of course, mainly concerned about an audience of one, happy wife, happy life. So long as my wife likes it, the beard is staying and that's that. Laura: if they shaved your beard they would accuse you of bending to the will. Senator vance, i'm glad you cleared that up. It's really important for us. Senator, great to see you. Kamala attacks trump for going to arlington national cemetery but gold star families are not amused by it. They set the record state, next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ sandals jamaica sale is now on, visit sandals. Com or call 1800sandals laura: gold star families are fighting back after kamala harris attacked trump over an alleged incident at arlington national cemetery. A solemn place not a place for politics. The former president disrespected sacred ground all for the sake of a political stunt. She can accuse him of paying politics. One thing is clear donald trump showed up for the families, kamala harris never did. Kamala harris was sitting at mansion in washington, d. C. 10 minutes she could have gone to the cemetery and honored the sacrifice of those young men and women. She hasn't. She hasn't spoken with them or taken a meeting. They did meet with them at the dignified transfer. They were with them at the dignified transfer. Laura: no she didn't. Kamala wasn't even there nbc was forced to issue a clarification joining us now and so glad they are with us two members of the gold star family alyssa lopez hunter lopez and riley both died during the abbey gate attack in afghanistan. Jim, the nation's heart never really healed after what happened to your son at abbey gate. But i want to ask you what is your response to vice president harris saying that donald trump used the death of your son to disrespect sacred ground? absolutely hypocritical like you said good to see you again by the way. We invited president trump to be there the families that were in arlington asked him to bring his filming crew to capture the moment. My understanding is they didn't want people on their phones. They wanted them to be in the moment and be present. Trump was gracious enough to be there for one. Which i thought was absolutely beautiful thing. I got to watch later that day on monday it made me proud that he was there representation all 13 kids but, more importantly, i got to see darin hoover and kelly barnett standing behind president trump before he laid the wreath and as he went up the stairs i got to see nicole's family. For me much like the rnc where our kids' names were finally recognized. This was recognition that we have been longing for and wanting and it was absolutely beautiful for me to see and then in the blink of an eye, he turned it into political into something it absolutely was not. Dana bash on cnn discussed the kamala statement. Watch this, alyssa. My understanding is she decided to weigh in over the weekend. They were being asked a lot about it underst
