louis, david dorn. what else can you tell us about her and her late husband? >> ann dorn is going to be one of these very emotional speakers. her story or the story of her husband is something that really captured the imagination of conservatives during the george floyd protests earlier this summer. one of the things about having so many victims or families of victims speaking at this convention is the victims themselves are obviously no longer here with us to say how they would feel about it and two of david dorn's children apparently debra and lisa have both said that their father was not a trump supporter and they do not think he would have wanted his legacy to be used in a political fashion at a political convention in this way. it is one of those things where he is not here, unfortunately, to speak for himself and his children are not going to be here to speak with her. but this is going to be a really kind of one of those key, core messages that is going to be tying together the law and order idea and also this idea that protesters or rioters are ravagin

one of the most powerful things before the president, juan, was ann dorn, the widow of david dorn. she was here tonight. the president referenced here in his speech. her speech to the convention was quite powerful. >> yeah. i thought even the sight of her in the audience with her family and again, so interesting because it crossed racial lines. you can see people -- she's grieving over her husband's death and the violence in st. louis. but you know, again, i just -- i'm a little bit disappointed. my colleagues have said it was flat. i think president trump on script, reading from a script is not president trump on the ad lib being spontaneous. he has that magic when he's spontaneous, when he can stir a rally. that just didn't happen for him tonight. i expected there would be fireworks before that amazing show on the south lawn. those are the best fireworks that a fireworks lover has ever seen. i come down here on fourth of july. but that -- it struck me more as a rerun. we've seen so many of those lines before. it just didn't have the punch that i expected. even as someone that can

spreadmyth that is being only in washington, d.c. >> 77-year-old david dorn was shot to death at the pawnshop he was protected was being looted. >> dave underwood was killed. authorities say it was a targeted attack on law enforcement. >> this is ridiculous. these people are tearing up our livelihoods! sen. cruz: senator hirono. hirono: thank you, mr. chairman. nobody is condoning violence against anyone, by anyone. this hearing is titled, kwoit, the right of the people peaceably to assemble, protect ing speech by stopping anarchist violence, end quote. but the hearing we should be having is one called the right of the people peaceably to assemble without being beaten up by unidentifiable federal agents. that would address an actual problem lawful protesters are facing and the rest of us are seeing in this country. the murder of george floyd has led to protests across the country and indeed around the world. in response, the federal government has used violence and excessive force to break up these protests. we saw this in two well-known examples in lafayette square in d.c. and in po

dorn. >> violence and destruction are not forms of protest. they do not safeguard black lives, only destroy them. donald trump understands this, offered federal help to restore order in our communities. >> joe biden saying donald trump is the opposite. >> we keep pouring gasoline on the fire, donald trump's america. >> donald trump saying no one will be safe in biden's america. todd: brit hume, senior political analyst says biden is addressing the violence in our cities, realizes americans want law and order and is trying to score political points. >> we are not seeing signs of the backlash against this urban violence and rioting, now we are beginning to see it and to what extent it leaks into the presidential race is unclear but when you see joe biden after not speaking about it almost no one did, mentioned it at all starting to talk about it, blame it on the president, you know something is happening and it remains to be seen how far they go. todd: joe biden says he is considering visiting wisconsin. he opted out of traveling to the state fo

retired police captain david dorn's widow ann spoke of her tuesday individual killed at the hands of looters who live streamed his death as he bled out. >> my hope is that having you relive it with me now will help shake this country from this nightmare we are witnessing in our cities and bring about positive, peaceful change. we need to come together in change and remember every life is precious. judge jeanine: and mark and patricia mccloskey who testified their lives spoke of their pain as well. both dornan the d both dorne and the mccloskeys called for peace. bottom line. the left' blames america first, the right puts america first, and they want law and order back in america. that's bent message we chose to bring us out of the biden years. president's speech was a litany of the successes his administration achieved and compelling armed why joe biden cannot be elected president. president trump: make no mistake, if you give power to joe biden the radical left will defund police departments all across america. they will pass federal legislation to reduce law enforcement nationwide.

katie, greg mentioned david dorn's widow. he was the policemen that was killed. his children didn't want the widow to speak there. they thought this politized his death. >> the woman who spoke has every right to speak whenever she wants about her husband who was doing a friend a favor in trying to keep the business safe. she was in the crowd last night at the white house on the south lawn with her family who happens to not share the same skin recall of her to listen to the president. you don't have to be a trump supporter to want save communities and want to stop people from losing their lives simply for defending the property they worked so hard over a lifetime to keep and use to provide for their family. i want to touch on another issue. the speech that president trump gave was long, but they addressed every single issue. if you are a single issue voter, they went through every single topic you could imagine in that speech. president trump attacked joe biden's record and explained his record on the issue after 4 years in the white house and what he would do in

there were so many spectacular moments, whether it was the testimonial videos from the wife of david dorn and whether it was young congressional candidate madison standing up on that stage and there were so many powerful moments, moving moments. i don't think anything could be further from the truth. i left feeling very good about where republicans are, what we believe in and our path forward. democrats were doom and gloom and i think they should be very disappointed in the contrast between the two conventions. jesse: i thank you can tell they are disappointed because they are freaking out. joe, where the word dark is repeated by every single individual in the media, is that because a memo goes out the night before or that morning? in most businesses you try to distinguish yourself from the competition but in the media it is like a pack of wild dogs, like they work as a unit. is that what is going on? >> the hive mentality, right jesse? if you go on the dictionary dark is the only adjective that is in there so it means he only had one were to work with clearly. when you juxtapose tha

louis police captain david dorn choked up while she talked about her husband's death at the hands of looters. she made this argument against the radical left rampant violence. >> as i slept looters were ransacking the shop. they shot and killed david in cold blood and then livestreamed the execution and his last moments on earth. david's grandson was watching the video on facebook in real time not realizing he was watching his own grandfather dying on the sidewalk. he was murdered by people who didn't know and just didn't care. he would have done anything to help them. violence and destruction are not legitimate forms of protest. lou: the parents of humanitarian worker kayla mueller argued her daughter might still be alive had president trump been in office at the time. kayla was beaten and killed by isis terrace in 2015 as the obama-biden administration failed to bring her home. and alice johnson threw her support behind president trump last night and his work for criminal justice reform. president trump commuted her life sentence after she served more than 20 years for a first time

veteran police officer, david dorn. here's a little of it. >> david is never, never coming back to me. he was murdered by people who didn't know and just didn't care. he would've done anything to help them. violence and destruction are not legitimate forms of protest. they do not safeguard black lives. they only destroy them. president trump understands this. >> the sickness is not systemic inequality, it's the riots. it's the reaction to the same. that's what the president's message is, and ann dorn's pain really makes it palpable. but david's daughters, may he rest in peace, they say their father would not have wanted this speech to happen. that they -- that they believe he wouldn't want his name used to help re-elect donald trump. deborah white and lisa dorn join us, now. officer dorn's -- veteran officer dorn's daughters. thank you, both. i am very sorry to meet you, under these circumstances. i am sorry for the loss of your father. and, if nothing else, i'm sure that there should be pride in the family, that he is

whether you are the family of breonna taylor or david dorn, these are the ideals that will heal our nation's wounds. republicans will never turn a blind eye to unjust acts, but neither will we accept an all-out assault on western civilization. my values were shaped by my faith and by my parents. i worked at their small coffee shop meeting people from all walks of life. i realized something, no matter who we are, everybody needs a cup of coffee. that lesson stuck with me because despite our differences, we all want the same thing. for our children to have more opportunities than we did. to feel the dignity of work and to believe that if you play by the rules, you can make a good life for yourself and your family. so the question is, will we choose the path that gives us the best chance to meet those universal desires or will we go backward to a time when people were treated like political commodities who can't be trusted to think for themselves? i think often about my ancestors that struggled for freedom. as i think of the giants and their broad shoulders, i also think about joe biden who say

whether you are the family of briana taylor or david dorn, these are the ideals that will heal our nation's wounds. charles: so you know, he brings up the question, and here's the thing, why is there no compassion across the board? what happened, tiana, to the notion you can feel pain for a black man who is shot in the back, and you know, by several police officers and then you know you can feel pain for the business owner who is entire life savings have gone up in flames by looters and rioters? i saw a video of a police officer being hit with a brick. why are we being made to pick a lane in this country? >> sew we've completely jumped to this very tribal reaction where you can't necessarily just say you support respect for general law enforcement and also support some reforms to rein in individual instances of police abuse of power. and so i mean we're seeing this right now with wisconsin. we still don't know all of the details about these horrific killings from last night. we have two dead, one in critical condition. we don't know who the aggressors were. but what we do know, tons of priv

the briefings and we had people whose names are not mentioned in many mainstream publications, like david dorn, the police officer who lost his life and the rights and how ironic that "the new york times" rather than highlighting this tragic story that deserves attention they instead censor a piece that mentions and talks about the violence and the riots and that of course is senator tom cotton's op-ed. it's really egregious. >> sean: the world has changed, kayleigh. rush limbaugh, syndicated in 1988, 200 talk stations. the number one format and radio. 3,000 now am and fm. the president has 200 and i don't know the total terms of twitter, instagram, facebook. over 200 plus million people. he can go directly to. he doesn't need them. you have many and talk radio. i support the president's policies openly. i don't hide it and i'm proud of his compliments. you don't really have to talk to these people anymore. i don't think the president needs to ever argue with them again. it's a waste of time. >> you're exactly right. that's what drives them nuts. you have the democrats who engage in baske

well, kamala, is it black lives matter like david dorn, the black officer, is a black lives like the ones in chicago? you say black lives matter, is that all black lives or are you just saying that to appease the extremist group? that is a situation just explained to her the other thing about it is, if she is such a prologue order moderate democrat, where's the police unions supporting her? they are supporting donald trump. one last thing, she's a nasty person. she's mean. look what you try to do with justice kavanaugh. and when you talk about what she's planned to do, if i was joe biden, i would sleep with one eye open, because she is looking to take over the white house. she's only in it for herself, period. >> sean: wow. dan bongino, secret service, former nypd. i hate the way police have been treated, the 99% of brave cops that put their lives at risk to protect and serve others. >> yeah. well, you know, sean, nobody likes kamala harris, can we just be clear on that? she competed in a democrat primary and didn't even make it to iowa. i had nothing to do with it, i'm a registered

ann dorn, the widow of retired police captain david dorn, says she hopes sharing her horrific story would stop what's going on. >> they shot and killed david in cold blood and then live streamed his execution and his last moments on earth. david's grandson was watching the video on facebook in realtime, not realizing he was watching his own grandfather dying on the sidewalk. i learned of all this around four a.m. when our doorbell rang. the chief of police was standing outside. i wondered why dave had not answered the door. i let in the chief and fighting back tears he utter the words every officer's spouse dreads. violence and destruction are not legitimate forms of protest. elizabeth: you know, she went on to say that president trump has offered federal help to restore order in communities. your reaction to ann dorn here? >> well, i mean, it's tragic. i had tears in my eyes, i'm sure most americans did when they were watching that. you know, we know where the president stands, and ann dorn explained that to the people. what do the democrats stand? kamala harris has repeatedly called for

whether you are the family of breonna taylor or david dorn, these are the ideals that will heal our nation's wounds. >> no. breonna taylor's family does not agree with that. i want you to keep that in mind if you listen to them, as we have, because we've been covering their public calls for justice on this program. they have not been talking about, quote, ideals or thoughts and prayers but rather they and their civil rights representatives and attorneys have been demanding tangible action towards what they see as justice in their case. i tell you that tonight because it is similar to what the protesters are demanding in the new blake case in wisconsin. before it reached this new fever pitch. before that anti-violence effort was met with new violence. now, amidst all these stories, the nba formally postponing its playoff games tonight over this blake shooting. president trump says he'll send federal law enforcement and the national guard to kenosha, wisconsin, and we also want you to know, in terms of everything going on, there's a new hurricane, laura. it's now a category 4. it's approaching
