Transcripts For FOXNEWS The Story With Martha MacCallum 2024

Someones background, their race, theyre gender, their geographic location, i know that people are deeply troubled by what is happening to that community in springfield, ohio. And its got to stop. And iraq to say that you cannot be entrusted with with standing behind the seal of the united president of the united states of america, engaging in that hateful rhetoric that, as usual, is designed to those that divide us as a country, is designed to help people pointing people fingers at Each Other. Its designed to do that. And i think most people in our country, regardless of their race, are starting to see the smoke through this nonsense and to say you know what, lets turn the page on this, this is exhausting and its harmful. And its hateful. And grounded in some age old stuff that we should not have the tolerance for. So lets turn the Page And Chart a new Way Foreword and say you cant have that microphone again. Madame Vice President , im switching gears again. Quick question i want to talk to you about gun control. So you said you support Support And Assault Weapons Ban and universal Background Check and we actually learned during the debate that youre a Gun Owner. But in cities like philadelphia, handguns are responsible for most homicides and violent crime, the most recent fbi data shows handguns were involved in 59 of murders in our country. How would you address the issue of the use of handguns because a push for an assault Weapons Ban only addresses a significant but small part of the problem . So first of all, yes, i am a Gun Owner and Tim Walz is a Gun Owner, and were not trying to take away anyones guns from them. But we do need an assault Weapons Ban. Assault weapons are designed kill a lot of Human Beings weekly and aunt im going to get to it. And have no place on the streets of a civil society. We need universal Background Checks. Which to your point about handguns is about saying that it is just reasonable to want reasonable Gun Safety laws that say we should do Background Checks, we ought to know, you should be reasonable, you might want to know before someone can buy a little weapon if theyve been found by a court to be a danger to themselves or others and respectfully, we do understand that. Im asking specifically about handguns because many of those handguns are universal back on Track Supply to handguns. They do but in many instances those handguns arent even bought lawfully, yes . Which is also why ive been very adamant in years in fact, i myself protested at a Gun Show probably 1015 years ago about the Gun Show loophole and why we need to close that. Because what ends up happening is that Gun Shows at flea markets, gun dealers, or not under existing law in the past required to register there sails. And so you are exactly right. That a lot of homicides for example in a good number of them have been this is distinct in front mind are committed with illegally purchased guns, and that is why we need to address each Entry Point in the issue, including universal Background Checks, closing the Gun Show loophole, and what we need to do as a general matter to focus not only on reaction to grime but prevention of crime. So you are raising a very important issue that has many facets, including what we need to do in terms of reasonable Gun Safety laws and what we need to do around crime prevention. What we need to do around crime deterrence, but less than, i have personally prosecuted homicide cases. I have held the hands of mothers who have come to me, crying, who have said i only want to talk to kamala because they knew when they sat down, i would treat them with the Dignity And Respect that they were entitled and do about the loss of their child, often their son, to Gun Violence, and they need to take it seriously. And we must take it seri seriously. In every way understanding its not just about the soundbite. Its about a comprehensive approach that deals with the tragedy of to your point everyday Gun Violence in america. Its real, it has had a profound impact in terms of trauma that, for the most part, has gone undiagnosed and untreated. The trauma that exists in communities around the violence of losing their children, losing her brother, losing a father and uncle, all of that must be addressed. And we must have to have a holistic approach to it. Other things we havent thought of yet . Because every time we bring up this issue of Gun Violence, universal Background Checks comes up and a ban on assault weapons. Are there other solutions that you are also thinking about that will get at this issue . Absolutely. For example, part of what we did so we as as Vice President with the president , we were able to pass the first meaningful Gun Safety legislation in 30 years. And part of what that involved was millions and millions of dollars to put more Mental Health counselors in public schools. Right . Because we know that there is an aspect of this that is about treating the trauma, and dealing with it at its source before it ends up manifesting itself in a problem. There is the work that we need to do that is about putting resources into communities around violence protection. Amino a advocate for that for years. Which includes what we need to do around putting resources into community based intervention that is not just requiring on the good people in the community to volunteer. To do the intervention but actually paying people to do it because its a fulltime job. Its about understanding what we need to do to, again, understand that, to your point, we have to have a holistic response to this issue and prioritize it instead of reacting that tragedy that, sadly, they are too predictable. Thats all agree, enough over that. There are very few solutions that we havent thought of. We need the resources into them. Madame Vice President , we need to smoke we want to look to the topic of reproductive access, something youve worked on a kneading on both in the administration and in democrats and as Note Top of the ticket. You set as president you roobroeck to access until fetal viability which it also says it is at about seven months that low but it may occur early or even a 24 weeks. So do you similar similarly about abortion in the third trimester of pregnancy and necessary to save a Mothers Life . We need to put the protections of rural viewing back into law and when that bill gets passed by congress i will probably sign it into law. Understand what is happening in our country. Over 20 states have passed what i call Trump Abortion bans because understand how we got here, the former president handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court with attention they will undo the protections of rural viewing. Needed as he intended and in state after State Laws have been passed criminalizing healthcare providers. I dont know if anyone here has heard the stories most recently out of georgia, tragic story about a young woman who died because it appears that people who should have given her healthcare were afraid they would be criminalized after the Dobbs Decision came down. Laws that make no exception even for Rate Rape or incest which means youre telling a survivor of a crime of a violation of their body that they have no right to make a decision about what happens to their body next, which is immoral. An approach that doesnt take into account that most people i think agree you dont have to abandon your face, or deeply held a great beliefs to agree that the government should be not telling her to do with her body. If you choose she will talk with her pastor, her priest, her rabbi, her mom, but it should not be the government or from among government telling her to what to do what so thats what the protection of roe v. Wade and put that into law and those restrictions we need to put back in place the protections of roe v. Wade and lots and individual in consultation with her doctor, make the decision based on what she can determine. Because she is smart enough to know whats in her best interest instead of having her government tell her what to do especially a bunch of people in the state capitals who think theyre in a better position to tell her what to do when she is to know whats in her best interest. Before we conclude, Madame Vice president , social you didnt say that just a minute ago and your opponents and republicans has of times weaponize you laughing in Campaign Expert as for example. Why is joy important to you to insert into this election and what do you make of republicans using that as a way to suggest that you are not a serious candidate . Sometimes i think, you know, and ill say to whoever the people are who are watching this there some times when your adversaries will try to turn your strength in to a weakness. Dont you let them. Dont you let them. I Find Joy in The American people. I Find Joy and optimism, and what i see to be our future and our ability to invest in it. I Find Joy in the oppression of the people. I Find Joy in the dreams of people. I Find Joy in building community. Of Find Joy in building coalitions. I Find Joy in believing that the true measure and the strength of a leader is not based on who you beat down but who you lift up. And i think we should all Find Joy and have a sense of optimism about who we are as americans and what we need mean to Each Other and what we can do to lift Each Other up. Roe v. Wade madam Vice President , did you and President Biden attempt have you spoken to him and i have. Today i assume . Yes. How did that go . One to give us some intel . Sure. I checked on to see if he was okay. And i told him what i have said publicly. Theres no place for political violence in our country. I am in this election and in disgrace for many reasons, including to fight for our democracy. And in a democracy, there is no place for political violence. We can and should have healthy debates and discussion and disagreements. But not resort to violence to resolve those issues. On january 6, your vehicle passed a viable pipe bomb. I was in the building. You were in the building. And we see whats happened with former president from. You have full confidence in the Secret Service to protect all of you . I do. Do you feel safe, you and your family . I do. And i mean, you can go back to ohio, that everybody has Secret Service. And there are far too many people in our country right now who are not feeling safe. I mean, a look at project 2025 and i look at, you know, they dont seek a lot coming out of florida, members of the 2slgbtqia Community dont feel safe right now. Immigrants or people with an immigrant background dont feel safe right now. Women dont feel safe right now. And so, yes, i feel safe. I have Secret Service protection. But that doesnt change my perspective on the importance of fighting for the safety of everybody in our country. And doing everything we can to, again, left people of an upbeat people down so they feel alone and are made to feel small, and made to feel like there somehow not a part of it for us. Madam Vice President , thank you so much for your time. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. [applause] thank you. s before wrapping up the interview with the Vice President Kamala Harris, current candidate obviously for the presidency. She was speaking with the National Association Of Black Journalists in philadelphia this afternoon. Wideranging interview, maybe one of the most substantive that we have seen in terms of the range of questions. There were some questions that were not asked, The One that really jumps out to me is the issue of how did you get from some of your positions eliminating medicare, mandatory gun buyback, fracking, to where you are now . That remains a very big question that has not been answered but it was a substantive, wideranging interview know we just watch play out. Were also keeping a close eye on the other Breaking Use this afternoon, Sean Diddy Combs In Court right now in new York City, he is facing very serious charges. Of sects trafficking, kidnapping, just abhorrent behavior to women, abuse, beatings. He has pled not guilty just a few moments ago. Defense asking the judge to lock him up until his trial. They believe he is a Flight Risk. Watch this since. Combs allegedly planned and controlled the six performances, which he called Freak Office. And he often laconically recorded them. The Freak Office sometimes less than these at a time. Martha if you read this charge, it is pretty intense and there is a lot of bizarre behavior in here that hes being charged charged with an abusive and violent behaviors that hes been charged with. Will have a lot more on the Breaking Use of this indictment which is playing out right now in a courthouse in manhattan and we do expect that his attorneys will come out to the microphones any moment now. Well take you there live and we have a great panel to discuss this here onset with me. Kennedy who covered his Music Career for many years as an Mtv Vj, and judge Jeanine Pirro, of course, he had a long history of as a judge and so theyll both be here to react to that in just a few moments. But first lets address what we just heard from Vice President harris in the very important State Of Pennsylvania as we wait for her first former News Conference which has not happened yet. Almost . Months of the president dropped out and she became nominee. Whispering in Kellyanne Conway former senior counselor to President Trump now that president of Ka Consultant and up Fox News contributed and Patrick Murphy Iraq War Veteran and former army undersecretary. Welcome to both of you, good to have you both here. I want to start but actually play a comparison of the first question that this group asked former President Trump and then the first question that was asked today to the Vice President harris. Watch this. You attack black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the question that the asked are stupid and racist you had dinner with a white ceramicist at your maralago resort. So my questions, sir, know that youre asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after youve used language like that . A question that has been asked of you and everybody that found that is on the democratic side is whether or not voters are better off now and there were four years a ago . Are they better off another war they were four years ago . Martha okay. Kelly and, your reaction to the first question out of the gate for both of those candidates . Is pretty typical. I found the Vice President to be a little condescending if not rude to the Moderators Today when they dared pusher to actually answer the question that the asked and had every right to ask including whistle probably 30 minutes ago at question about handguns. She wanted to talk about assault weapons, the moderator tried to get her back talk about handguns. She doesnt like that and i think Kamala Harris takes the media for granted the way she takes for granted, you know, Hardcore Democrats
