Fund. Check your local listings. Greta is on the record. She is sitting right next to me with very special guest. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. We will see you later for coverage of the Democratic Convention here on fox all eyes are on philadelphia, big night at the 2016 Democratic Convention president barack obama Vice President joe biden and Hillary Clintons vp pick tim kaine is speaking tonight. Security is extra tight and burning with expectation. Cohost of americas newsroom, martha . Good evening. Here is some of what were picking up on the floor tonight about what you can expect. Look for Mike Bloomberg who has a very high speaking spot today. He is going to come right before tim kaine this evening. Look for him to take down Donald Trump New york billionaire to new york billionaire. I have detected quite a bit of air the delegates is doing some well. Mike bloomberg thought about running himself, of course, he decided not to. Now that its such a tight race he may be rethinking that or having buyers remorse, who knows. He expected to slam donald trump and try to take him apart tonight as someone who knows and understands him from new york city. Also, in terms of what we expect to hear from president obama this evening, he will go line by line, talking about how he has improved during his administration the economy, including housing, talk about the fact that they were losing 800,000 jobs a month when he took office. Expect him to talk about the Auto Industry again. In many ways its reminiscent, greta what we heard last time around four years ago from obama and biden. You remember the phrase gm is alive and bin laden is dead. You may hear a refrain from g. M. Being alive. I doubt very much you are going to hear bin laden is dead too much tonight because, of course, isis has taken the place of that threat that faces the United States and our allies as well. But president obama wants to reclaim his legacy. He wants to put it down in writing and on stage and on video for what he remembered about what he says tonight about his own understanding of what he achieved as president and then move on to Hillary Clinton. Back to you. Martha, thank you. Lots of excitement here. This is a huge, powerful night at the Democratic National convention. President obama, Vice President joe biden will both take the stage. The president is expected to tell the American People about the Hillary Clinton he knows. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is here to go on the record. Good evening, leader. Good evening. You have said that we shouldnt vote for a candidate simply because she is a woman. Right. There is a certain amount of excitement, is there not, that secretary clinton will be the first woman to head the president ial ticket once she formally acceptance . Very exciting. I think she will be chosen because she is the best, the best person to be president of the United States. And thats why people should vote for her. The fact that she is a woman is exciting beyond words. Its really thrilling. Is she going to be a third term of president obama or is she different from president Obama Policies . They have shared values about an economy that works for everyone, not just the privileged few. About respecting the judgment of women about the size and timing of their families. That Climate Change is real and not a chinese hoax. That we should have comprehensive Immigration Reform that we should have common sense gun safety laws in the and arrests. She will bring her own priorities and freezing rain structure in a bigger way, i think, to the presidency. But she will tell us herself what her priorities will be. But she is a different person. She is a person who has ha lifetime dedication at Public Service. How does she get that . One of the hurdles she does have. The polls show that her trustworthiness is not in a good number. A lot of people dont trust her. How does she gain the trust of the American People . Well, neither of their numbers are that good. Both are lousy. But thats what campaigns are all about. And in an election you decide who is going to hold the seat. Who is going to win the election. But its also a discussion of your vision for the future. And her vision for the future, i think, will be much more positive one for america than her opponents and in the course of engaging with the public. Showing what her presidency means in their lives again, ache woman president doesnt mean anything excepts what it means in the lives of the American People. All right the dnc took a beating this week with revelation of the emails. Certainly looked that senator Bernie Sanders had a legitimate beef that the dnc had been impartial and fair throughout the election. What do you say to Bernie Sanders supporters. A lot of them are fine. I think they are not a monolith. Senator sanders presentation was that last night . It seems like a long time ago. Monday. Did a great deal to bring people together. Its hard to bring your people over just like that. And i think it will take some time. But overwhelmingly, i believe his supporters understand why they have differences between bernie. Whoa, isnt it mean dont you sort of understand at least Vice President biden does the anger of Bernie Sanders supporters those emails did look like the fix was in. Well, i understand about emails. I dont think it would have made the difference in the election. I dont think the dnc or the rnc should have any role in the primary i sympathize with the concerns that they have Debbie Debbie wassermanschultz schultz has stepped down and go forward now. I dont think that even Bernie Sanders is saying but for those emails he would be the nominee for president. Everyone is talking about Vice President biden and president obama speaking tonight. We are going to meet senator tim kaine tonight. Very exciting. What do you think is going to surprise the American People about him. Before you went into that you said president obama and Vice President biden. Nominee tim kaine. We also heard from Senate Democratic leader harry reid it was very well received and moving and i want to recognize that my view of tim kaine my word for him is answer gel lick a beautiful lovely person. Values based in his Public Service courageous in going forth with what he believes in. And a life of commitment to helping people. I dont envy any of them tonight having to speak because there is a lot of competition up there in terms of, you know a lot of attention on all of them. Well, right now we have gavin newsom, Lieutenant Governor of california. Thats your home state. Yes, indeed last night president bill clinton spoke your thoughts . Beautiful. It was beautiful. Typical he has his own rate of time of unfolding the story but at the end of the day a very powerful speech in support of Hillary Clinton. All right. 30 seconds left. What do you want to hear most from secretary clinton on thursday . Whats the one key thing she has to zero in on . The difference between democrats and republicans trickle down economics that benefits the very few or an economic an economy that works for everyone. I think that is really the message that has to be delivered. How she chooses to do that, by story telling, by her own priorities will remain to be seen. She is the nominee for president of the United States, the first woman ever she will have her own original presentation to make and im sure it will be magnificent. Leader pelosi, thank you very much for joining us. Dont be a stranger to fox news. I wont be a stranger. Invite me, i wont. Thank you, greta. Thank you. Thank you. And donald trump as you no doubt suspectside not sitting back on the counter. Trump on the offensive and blasting the Democratic National convention. They havent mentioned isis. They dont want to mention. Why . Because they created it. So they dont mention isis. I told you before they dont mention our police or our Law Enforcement and they wouldnt have those doors open for two minutes if it werent for the police. [cheers and applause] they wouldnt have them open for two minutes. Okay, this poll may interest you. A recent Pew Research Center poll finding 59 of americans saying too many people are easily offended over language, 39 say people need to be more careful with language to avoid offending people. Former New Hampshire senator john sununu goes on the record. Good evening, governor. I always try not to offend anyone, greta. You know that. How do you do on that . Are you good or not good at that . I guess im not very good what do you think of trump going on the offensive and basically getting right back in the news in the midst of this democratic connection . He is never going to sit back and wait. Is he going to do that whenever there is an opportunity. And for the first two days the democrats seemed absolutely committed to the obama ostrich head in the sand theory of Foreign Policy. They figure if they can hide themselves from it will go away. But, unfortunately, this is a tough world and the president of the United States has to lead in that direction. And if mrs. Clinton persists in having her convention avoid National Security issues, she is going to really get burned in the election. Do you expect to hear from her on thursday night about National Security . Well, now that we have been pointing out that they havent said anything about it, she really has to bring it up. And unfortunately, she probably will bring it up as a continuation of the same policies that she supported in the obama administration, which has produced the disaster of isis. So is she better to sort of pivot away from president obama . She certainly wants his aggressive support on the campaign trail this fall. Does she pivot away from him on National Security and other issues or does she embrace it fully and say, look, this is a third president obama term . She will do what the clintons always do in certain groups she will embrace it and other groups she will pivot away from it and hope that the press will cover her trail. And donald trump, what do you expect him to be doing over the next couple days as this winds down here and she becomes the first woman to have head a major party ticket. I wouldnt be surprised if he had a News Conference tomorrow and another one on friday. I wouldnt be surprised if we all took it as well, right, governor . You will run it live. Governor, always nice to see you. Enjoy New Hampshire, sir. Thank you. Byebye. And, of course, as we alluded to, trump imimmediately seizing on the two email scandal. News the dnc email hack. Both scandals now playing secretary clinton in this weeks Democratic Convention and trump is not holding back. You know, i put whyself through your News Conferences often, not that its fun. 235 days. No News Conference for Hillary Clinton. You ought to check it out because there is a lot going on. Her great disloyalty to the person who rigged the system for her, Debbie Wassermanschultz, she totally rigged it Bernie Sanders never had a chance. And total disloyalty. Its like youre fired, get out fast. The email situation, i call it the double email situation both very serious. What was said in the last ones to the dnc was horrible. Absolutely horrible. If i would have used language like they used about religion, about race, about Everything Else that they discussed in those emails, would have had to run and hide and probably drop out of the race. With her, everything is just fine so just ask yourself why she doesnt have News Conferences. And honestly, the reason is because there is no way she can answer questions because the job she has done is so bad, when they talk about change, i noticed they have change. She has been there for 30 years. 30 years. There is no change. Its going to be the same. Going to be an extension of obama and in my opinion worse. A little bit earlier today top clinton policy aid Jake Sullivan saying in a statement that reads in part this has gone from being a matter of curiosity and politics to being a National Security issue. Ouch. I bet Donald Trumps first thought when he heard what sullivan said that clintons email server in her house is likewise a National Security issue. The on the record Political Panel is here from u. S. News and u. S. News and world report hide ideal. Nice to see both of you. Good to see you, greta. First to you, hidy. I think what Jake Sullivan was talking about is the whole idea donald trump was making russians should check to see where 30,000 emails is. It does seem that Jake Sullivan stepped right into the trap by saying that its a National Security issue because naturally people are thinking well what about that server in the house . And that was the bulk of Donald Trumps News Conference on message and on point talking about what this means in terms of the server being hacked and in terms of the wikileaks told us about the dn cs meddling and Hillary Clintons rise. But, unfortunately, the one joke and i guess his campaign is now saying its a joke, sent everybody into clean up mode and took that headline away to now be that donald trump made this joke, you know, encouraging the russians to try and continue to hack into Hillary Clintons emails. And that, unfortunately, kind of became the narrative. Is it a joke, david, first of all, the Trump Campaign says it was. And then you have got Clinton Campaign saying National Security emails while they are letting her server in her basement being so vulnerable and suddenly emails are National Security. Both campaigns have weaponized the whole topic. I dont think its a joke at all. I think trump knows exactly what he is doing. I think the democrats got their acts together last night and looked like they were having a more United Convention after a raucous first day. Donald trump looked at that and said im going to change the subject. Im going to hold a News Conference and make a provocative statement about russia and emails. Get emails back into the headline so on night three of the Democratic Convention when they are rolling out owe bomb marks biden and cain you have emails as headline. Thats not a headline. I talked to a trump advisor today. They dont think when they are talking about emails thats not good for the Democratic Party. Trump is trying to crash the Democratic National convention and get them off their messaging tonight. He is trying to crash the convention. Can he do that in many ways. People including on his own campaign are now in cleanup mode because jason miller took to twitter after that and said trump is not encouraging espionage here and his Vice President also came out and said look, if we find out that the russians are behind, this there will be strong repercussions. So he had a very different response than donald trump did. Point taken he stole the headline though, right . He did steal the headline. As long as theyre talking about emails, thats a better night for trump than it is for Hillary Clinton. That to me. And if these emails werent so serious, i would say part of the democratic platform should be we are not going to do emails anymore any place any time. Its a serious issue. Heidi, david, thank you both. Sure. Now outside to the streets of philly on the record Griff Jenkins has been out in the blistering philly heat with a few protesters. Griff . Greta, parched they are certainly feeling the burn no, intended pun, if you look beh
