the disinformation democrats. that's the focus of tonight's angle. it was only a few weeks ago that we told you that the democrats were very worried. the new york times published a piece quoting various democrat officials who were concerned but had hoped that a conviction of trump would improve biden's chances of winning. well, trump was convicted and this is what happened. it did not move the needle. really not at all. and now, top party leaders are again sounding the alarm, this from axios today. senior democrats including some of president biden's aides are increasingly dubious about his theory for victory in november which relies on voter concerns about january 6th, political violence, democracy and donald trump's character. well, of course they're right to be concerned. this is all failing. the top concerns of voters remain the economy, border, inflation, the cost of everything. and biden has made it all worse. everything they try for their strategy to turn it all around crashes and burns. remember, they tried to shift biden over to normandy so he would look real presidential. instead he looked lost. then they touted a new border enforcement approach. but, come on. we all saw through that fakery. >> that order is in effect today, too, and it is having little to zero impact. if anything, it's gotten busier out here in san diego sector. where are you from. >> mauritania. >> mauritania. where are you from? what country? what country? china. >> china. >> china. where are you guys from? mexico, guatemala. where are you from. >> chew china. >> where are you from. >> guatemala. >> laura: and yesterday they are trying to swear or even increase their uninspired base than requested biden to fire up the express. >> the young people known as dreamers live and learn out of the shadows we're a much better and stronger nation because of dromeers. >> laura: to heck with americans dreams. this is just more confirmation that this bunch does not care. so much for working class joe. and now trump has his wind, the wind at his back. the big betting markets all have him as the odds-on favorite. that's something we didn't even see in 2016. interesting. and voters consistently rank him way above biden on the issues that matter. this is vexing. it's perplexing. all those hard core liberals like chuck todd who wrote one of the biggest developments of this campaign and the biggest difference between 2016 and 2020 and today is the lack of fear of another donald trump term. this lack of fear of trump could be a real stumble block as they try to gavel eyes voters to remember what trump's presidency was really like. and some msnbc reporters do know the truth when pressed. >> folks remember -- forget the politics of it. they remember a life that they lived, again, outside of politics, before the pandemic. and for donald trump and for lara trump, right there heralding folks back to memories of their own lives at that point in time versus whatever they are experiencing life now and there is something to that here. >> laura: yeah. ya think? wait a second, that's all too logical. what about the midterms? >> he still is on a losing streak. >> why should we believe that this moment is different? that suddenly president biden and the democrats are so much weaker today. >> donald trump's rhetoric, even, and even his sort of swagger looks more like 2016. trump in detroit and those events he did, he was oddly loose. he was trying to be funny. if he somehow drops the grievance, he could end up looking more like that 2016 candidate where he was the outside disrupter. >> maybe. >> laura: katie didn't know what to do with that comment. chuck todd was actually making a really good point. and i actually think it can look a little bit more like 1984. forget 2016. i'm not saying this could be a 49-state land slide that's probably not possible but that most americans today simply believe that trump's policies were better, and that he would be the best on the economy, best on foreign policy and obviously best on immigration. and, thus, they think, the voters, trump, not biden, deserves four more years. now, you should expect that there's going to be a lot of finger pointing on how biden's posse made huge mistakes in communications and pr. and huge errors on the political strategy but frankly i think most of that's unfair. biden's favored to lose and it's not because kjp is bad, although she is bad. he's on track to lose because his policies have failed and failed miserably. and his cultural policies, oh, my god, they reveal a deeply anti-american, anti-christian, anti girls and women core in the democrat party. there's just no spinning that. and we know biden's economic policy resist lowering our standard of living. look, they're borrowing $1.9 trillion a year. and they're losing ukraine. our military is short on recruits. consumer spending is slowing. so how is the calm shop supposed to message any of that? and we all know, and the democrats know that biden himself is literally coming apart, physically, of course, and cognitively. we all see it. and the comms people couldn't ignore the memory care moments biden keeps having. instead they play the only card they have. try to blame republicans for misinformation and disinformation. literally telling you that the unedited videos that you're watching aren't real and aren't fair to show. >> cheap fake clips went viral on social media and were picked up by some news outlets. take a look at this clip for example. it shows biden and other world leaders watching a skydiving demonstration before the president is seen walking away and looking in in another direction. outlets claimed that he was sort of just aimlessly wandering away. >> laura: now cbs has actually deleted from circulation that video. they say that they slapped the warning on the wrong video, though. okay. thank you comrades. now, democrats want you to believe that the real crisis, it's not that we have a president who looks like he belongs at madame tussauds but that a video is circulating of his freeze ups and his aimless wandering. >> we are seeing in the last few weeks is really the steady stream of videos that are targeting president biden and in particular taking aim at his age. >> right, and they are being picked up by news outlets that know they're fakes, and -- or know that they are misleading but post them anyway. >> laura: is this amazing or what? zero inquiry by journalists about biden's actual condition. do they have any curiosity about that whatsoever? any? and, yeah, this is all coordinated. >> calling it cheap fakes, that is something that came from, directly from the meade why outlets and calling it that, the fact checkers and calling it that. so we're certainly going to be the really, really clear about that as well and calling it out from where we are, from where we stand. >> laura: calling it out. so it's basically, pay no attention to the president who forgets where he is. and that means it's time to control the information. >> what i worry about, misinformation, the disinformation, the stuff that's happened on social media that people repeat, and then main stream media rather than report it as it is and to repeat it and you keep repuig it rather than explaining exactly what's happening, that could depress turnout. >> laura: and in order to stop videos of biden's decay from going viral, his campaign announced it was establishing something called a disinformation task force. yeah. and these people call trump an autocrat. a spokesman said that it was the responsibility of the social media companies and media allies to mitigate the impact of the videos. now, remember, these people call themselves the defenders of democracy where they control the media. again, they keep making mistakes. shielding biden from scrutiny is not going to make groceries more affordable or gas cheaper. and it's not even that biden's a weak candidate. of course he is. but he is literally, everyone watching has to know tonight, he is literally the best candidate they could find. who thinks barack obama would have been on stage last week with clooney and roberts with biden unless he thought that biden was their best chance? i'm telling you, if democrats had someone better, someone they thought could win, they would have nominated the him or her. they would have booted biden. the problem isn't biden. it's his policies. and what does this mean for the gop? i say keep on keeping on. the trump campaign is showing excellent judgment and approach, stay with the substance. they have a real record to run on. a record of success. biden meanwhile is just running away from his. and he's stuck on this continuous unconvincing loop about trump's character and the threat to democracy. it's not landing. 14 years ago, the tea party movement began as a frustrated response to 2-party establishments that just wouldn't listen to the concerns of regular people. and nine years ago, donald trump took the leadership of that movement with a simple message. america first. now, this is a new and long overdue republican party today. thank goodness. and now this movement is the strongest it's ever been. we're gaining young people. we're gaining minority votes. and we're moving into purple and blue states as well. and trump's in the lead despite everything they've thrown at him. it's driving them nuts. the democrats know this, which is why they're in a frothy panic tonight. but their desperate measures and their desperate moments is not going to convince anyone, and that's the angle. joining me now is byron york chief political correspondent for the washington examiner and jason chaffetz former utah congressman both fox news contribute tours. jason, what's amazing here is that they spent all this time building up this narrative that trump's a dictator, trump is an autocrat, and they are literally putting out messages to media allies, as they call it, and social media companies to control information. you literally cannot make this up. >> yeah, look, it started with obama when biden was the vice-president. remember, they were spying on various reporters? they were divinging into congressional records. this is part of their pattern. you know, they get the 51 intelligence officers to go out and talk about russia, russia, russia and trump. the problem is, america's figured this out eight years later that everything they tell us isn't true. they said that, you know, inherited 9% inflation. he didn't inherit 9% inflation. it never went above 3% with donald trump. they keep saying that the border was secure for three years, it was never secure. all these things that they keep telling the american people are a flat-out lie. and then they say they're deep fake videos? why do you think -- i think it's the italian prime minister. why did she have to walk all the way across all those people in front of the crowd and pull the president's arm. do you think she was concerned about what he was doing? yeah, that ain't a deep fake. that's reality. >> laura: a democrat strategist in touch with the biden campaign told axios that it's unclear to many of us watching from the outside whether the president and his core team realize how dire this situation is right now and whether they even have a plan to fix it. that's scary. byron, i was thinking today, do you think biden even knows how bad it is? do you think they even tell him? i, i bet not. i mean he might hear a little bit but i bet they keep it from him because lord knows what he'll do if he freezes, you know, at a fun entertaining event. what would happen if he actually hears the real news. >> well, i think the president has been convinced for quite a while because he said so at a number of events. he believes that he is the one person who can defeat donald trump. he is the one person standing between the america of today and the abyss of trumpism. what was in the axios report must have been worry spell for democrats because it's a bad idea when a president surrounds himself with a really really small insular group of advisors who are all afraid of disagreeing with the president's strategy for fear of being exiled from the group. and the president has decided that this election will be decided on the issue of january 6th and donald trump. now, you were just talking about how many americans are concerned about the economy, about inflation, about the border, about crime, about all sorts of things and as a matter of fact, in the new fox poll, they asked, in deciding the vote, are you going to decide the vote based on the issues and who can do best or are you going to decide the vote based on the character of each candidate? and it was issues 59%, character 29%. so biden appears to have the wrong reading of the race, but his advisors are afraid to tell him otherwise. >> laura: ah, jason i agree with that. i think, again, everyone can't get ahead of themselves on this. republicans have to be careful, you have to go for every vote and trump's doing that. but it's amazing that they think this is still a comms problem. biden is literally the best candidate they thought they had. he is it. i mean, that's getting lost in all of this. i know byron's been around for just as long as i have, he knows what i'm talking about here, but jason, what does that say about the democrat party, that that guy is their best shot. >> yeah, they don't have a bench and kamala harris is no asset. if they think more cow bell is the solution to the biden problem, let's hear more of joe biden then go out and do a press conference. why don't you do that? you haven't done one of those this year. there's a reason he's always in hiked. he has to hide out for the next week out in camp david to prep for the debate. he can't physically do it and kamala harris is a word salad that isn't a creed to what they're trying to do on the campaign. >> laura: byron and jason we'll keep on this. thanks so much. coming up next, is george soros planning to silence some of the biggest conservative voices in radio? up next. i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years in active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served. they've been in leadership positions. they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary. and they come to us and they say, i need some financial help at this point in time. they're not looking for a handout. they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan. no one takes care of veterans like newday usa. norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school. what?

...i don't want to miss that. that's amazing doc. mobile savings are calling. visit xfinitymobile.com to learn more. doc? ♪ >> laura: now, is it me or is thn e biden rescue coalition running out of ideas? >> you thought that you as an a outspoken critic could be a target yourself. some people think that sounds th overdramatic but i'm right there with you. i think that he is so vindictive that he will go after -- however he has to, through the irs maybe or even, you know, sponsors to ge it us off the air. >> i think it's bad to have somebody saying give me as much power as you can in this country so i can use it to go after other americans. i don't think anybody's safe. >> laura: oh, my goodness. no one's safe. well, that's very dramatic. it'sth deranged and as usual they're projecting again. because silencing and punishing critics isto exactly what the lt is trying to do. well, turns out george soros is asking the fcc to fast track hik nation-wide radio network takeover. accordin.g to the new york postn foreign company y ownership of u.s. radio stations is not allowed to exceed 25% but a filing acquired by the post details soros is asking the commission to make an exception. joining us now is fcc commissioneran brendan carr. brandon, i spent 17 years in a great, great run in radio, and loved every minute of it. but ifs george soros gets his way, will they have the ability to basically silence conservativece voices? >> look, this soros-backed groue is looking to buy the second largest radio station grouinp i the country. we're talking over 200 radio stations across more than 40 markets.em some of them are in pennsylvania, in virginia, and florida. the vast majority are probably,o you knowrt, music or sports but there are at least a handful ins those states that carry o in conservative talk radio including sean hannity, mark lavine, dana loesch. so i think there is a concern. look, congressman chip roy was first to this to sound the alarm that the fcc has been asked, no just to approve it, but to approve it on a special soros short cut where we're not even going to run the normal agency process ofat looking at this foreign ownership rule. and i agree with congressman chip roy. the fcc should not be creating t thiscu special soros short cut. look, some of these same voices you just w had on, they were silentte when democrats in om congress wrote tpao cable companies asking the m to drop fox news. they were silent when democrat members of congress asked the fcc toej reject a conservative purchase of a spanish language radio station in south florida. so it's a bit ironic to hear expressing these concerns now. >> laura: well, according to the washington examiner, americans still waiting on biden broadband plan rural high speed internet stuck inng dems red tape not a single home has been connected after three years. this was, they touted broadbandk i don't know how many times i heard biden talk about broadband. i know we're switching topics here but whal t can you tell us about that? >> yeah, a couple weeks ago there was national headlines when it came out that the biden administration got $7 billion ti build nationwide set of ev ar chargingge stations and they ha onlyd completed eight. and what's news on top of that is that same biden infrastructure package included $42.45 billion to bring internet service to millions of merngs and as of today they've connectepld zero people from thv 2021e. initiative. an td worse than that, the bide administration officials say it will not be until next year 2025 until the earlier that a single shovel's worth of dirt will be. >> lauraat: unbelievable and th fc c story about soros shows you these independent agencies there has to be a big change the way they're run.dan, totally unaccountable. brendan thank you. now up next does mayorkas even know her name? >> our hearts break for the childrene of the individual wh was murdered. the, the woman. the mother. >> laura: rachel's mother responds to mayorkas next.a lo in my office tell me about their frequent dry eyes, which may point to dry eye disease. millions of americans were estimated to have it. they've tried artificial tears again and again, but the relief is temporary. xiidra can provide lasting relief. xiidra treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. doctor: why wait?
