00:00Breaking tonight, the U.S. is approving a massive arms sale to Israel as the region teeters on the brink of a wider war.
00:07Meanwhile, there is ongoing uncertainty about whether a peace deal can be reached in the next round of talks scheduled to start Thursday.
00:15U.S. officials tell Fox Iran could launch its promised attack on Israel this week with little or no notice.
00:22The Islamic Republic is said to be positioning missiles and drones for that potential strike.
00:27Meantime, Israel is bracing for that assault.
00:30The U.S. has moved more firepower into the region.
00:34National correspondent Jeff Paul starts us off tonight live from Tel Aviv.
00:38Good evening, Jeff.
00:40Well, good evening, Brad.
00:41Iran has reportedly said the only thing holding it back from a major attack on Israel is a new ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
00:48And when asked about it tonight, U.S. President Joe Biden said he agreed and that was his expectation.
00:54With the next round of talks set to resume in less than two days and Hamas not fully committing to them just yet,
01:00this region once again finds itself near an escalation of major proportions.
01:08It's a nearly daily occurrence along the Israel-Lebanon border.
01:12A barrage of drones launched at northern Israel with the Iron Dome intercepting most that pose a threat.
01:18The constant exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces only adding to the growing tension in the Middle East.
01:25We are closely following what is happening also in Beirut, in Tehran and in additional places.
01:31Facing pressure from major world powers, Iran's foreign ministry said on Tuesday that calls for restraint against Israel, quote,
01:38lack political logic and contradict principles of international law.
01:42What's reportedly now holding Tehran back, a potential ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
01:48I really can't speak for what Iran's endgame is, but I can tell you what ours is.
01:52And that is to prevent a wider regional war from spreading out within the Middle East.
01:57As Israeli forces continue to operate in and strike Gaza, talks are set to resume Thursday.
02:03Everyone in the region should understand that further attacks only perpetuate conflict, instability and insecurity for everyone.
02:10The U.S. is adding to its Navy assets in the region.
02:13Fourteen warships plus one guided missile submarine equipped with over 150 Tomahawk cruise missiles in the anticipation of an attack this week.
02:22The bottom line is, you know, I'm not going to speculate or try to guess when they might attack other than to say we need to take it seriously.
02:32And we are doing that. And so we will be prepared and are prepared.
02:39Now, tonight, the State Department issued a statement saying that it strongly opposes the recent visit of Israel's national security minister's visit to the Temple Mount,
02:48which is a holy site both in Judaism and in Islam.
02:52State Department said it demonstrated blatant disregard for the Jerusalem holy site and called it a provocative action,
02:59especially during a time of an effort to get a ceasefire.
03:03And we should also add that the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it is inconsistent with Israeli policy.
03:10Brett, Jeff Paul live in Tel Aviv. Jeff, thanks.
03:18Well, many questions, but still very few answers from Vice President Kamala Harris or her team as the media and public wait to learn about her specific plans.
03:26Should she win the November election?
03:28The Democratic presidential nominee is, however, doing an about face on another big issue this time.
03:35It's health insurance. Senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy has details tonight.
03:40A Harris campaign official tells Fox that if the vice president is elected president, she will not push single payer or Medicare for all.
03:48Harris isn't making that case herself publicly yet, though it represents quite an evolution on health care.
03:53In 2017, Harris was the first Senate Democrat to co-sponsor Bernie Sanders Medicare for all bill in 2019.
03:59She told Fox why she'd do away with private plans.
04:03How important is it to your health care plan to get rid of private insurance companies?
04:08Because there's some confusion about that.
04:10Yes. So I'm glad you asked.
04:14So the bottom line and the most important is that everyone have access to health care.
04:20That is the goal. That is the purpose for me, supporting the policy of Medicare for all.
04:26And showed similar support for the idea in the 2020 primaries.
04:30Who here would abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government run plan?
04:36Yes. All right.
04:39Medicare for all, then Senator Harris argued, was key to convenience.
04:44You don't have to go through the process of going through an insurance company.
04:47Let's eliminate all of that. Let's move on.
04:49Later in 2019, Harris changed her position slightly to allow some private insurance plans and told Axios on HBO.
04:56I knew I'd be called a flip flopper for that.
04:59Harris campaign officials press on why Harris isn't answering questions on this and other apparent policy.
05:07Just because she doesn't have anything in interview schedule on her public schedule doesn't mean that she's not taking her message directly to voters.
05:13Her website still has no issues page.
05:16President Biden insists Harris is not as progressive as her record suggests.
05:21How much more progressive is Vice President Harris than you as a candidate in the general?
05:28The issues we've worked on together have made great progress economically.
05:33No one calls what we did on infrastructure progressive. It's a good policy.
05:38And something new tonight. As the presumptive nominee, Vice President Harris is supposed to travel everywhere she goes with a protective press pool.
05:47We just learned that she left her press pool behind to attend an event at Howard University yesterday.
05:54We've reached out to her office. We are waiting back.
05:57We are awaiting an answer back from them as to why she didn't want a small group of reporters documenting her trip across town.
06:06Peter Doocy, live on the North Lawn. Peter, thanks.
06:09A spokesman for former President Donald Trump says the Republican presidential nominee and Elon Musk, quote, broke the Internet last night during their interview on Musk's X platform.
06:21The site formerly known as Twitter had problems with the launch at the beginning of that interview that Musk blamed on a cyber attack.
06:28But the numbers of users, Musk and his team say the interview reached sky high.
06:35Correspondent Brian Yannis reports from New York tonight.
06:39Yeah, well, I think it's obvious that you're a believer and an advocate of free speech.
06:44Like we're having a great conversation right now. Kamala wouldn't have this conversation.
06:49Just hours after former President Trump and Elon Musk praised one another for protecting free speech in a live streamed conversation on X,
06:57the United Auto Workers Union, which endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, filed federal labor charges against the two.
07:05The union claiming Musk and Trump advocated for the illegal firing of striking workers.
07:10You're the greatest cutter. I won't mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say that's OK.
07:15You're all gone. You're all gone. So every one of you is gone.
07:19During the two hour chat, President Trump also laid out some policy proposals, including his desire to end the education department.
07:26I want to close up Department of Education, move education back to the states.
07:30The interview started more than 40 minutes late because of technical difficulties,
07:34which Musk claims were a result of a DDoS or distributed denial of service cyber attack.
07:40But critics are skeptical, pointing to the fact that the rest of X was working.
07:44And last year's glitchy streamed conversation with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, which Trump called, quote, a disaster at the time.
07:51One point three million people were simultaneously watching the Trump must conversation at one point,
07:57as Trump criticized several Harris policies, including her recent messaging on the border crisis.
08:03She's saying she was strong on the border. We're going to be strong.
08:07Well, she doesn't have to say she could close it up right now.
08:10The Harris campaign firing back, quote, Trump's entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself.
08:17Self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a live stream in the year 2024.
08:25And Brett Musk claims that that live conversation has reached a billion with a B views on the X platform.
08:32Musk, who endorsed Trump, said he's historically been a moderate Democrat, but he's encouraging other moderates this time to vote for Trump.
08:40Musk says Harris and President Biden are too far left.
08:44He invited Harris to have a live conversation on X soon.
08:48Brett, see if it happens. Brian, thank you.
08:51We will talk with former presidential candidate, U.N. ambassador, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley,
08:56about the state of the twenty twenty four race here on set in just a few minutes.
09:02Let's take a look at today's latest Fox News power rankings.
09:06This one forecasting the House of Representatives balance of power.
09:11Right now, Republicans have the edge. More districts in their corner overall.
09:15You see two eleven to two oh five. Who wins the majority?
09:18Still a toss up. Nineteen of these races in that category.
09:22If we look at some of the top issues in our battleground states, economy ranks first across the board.
09:29You can see those numbers right there that could come into play in House districts, especially in these states.
09:35Michigan has two of the toss up seats.
09:38Pennsylvania also has two.
09:41Here's the full list of all the House races, and we'll take a look at some of these toss ups.
09:46You can see the 19 toss up districts in Ohio's ninth district.
09:51Democratic incumbent Marcy Kaptur has held that seat since 1983.
09:56But as Ohio has turned red or more red, her seat has become more competitive.
10:01She will face conservative state representative Derek Marin in Washington's third district.
10:08Incumbent Democrat Marie Glusenkamp Perez is a blue dog.
10:12Democrat, more conservative among those who called for President Biden to resign.
10:17She faces a rematch in veteran and former CIA officer Joe Kent on to the Democratic presidential nominee.
10:25Kamala Harris's home state of California. We find three close races.
10:30Republicans won all three of these by narrow margins in the midterms.
10:35They face tough reelection battles with well-funded opponents.
10:3913 and 27th district leaning Democrat District 41 is a true toss up in our balance of power.
10:46And having Harris on the ballot could help Democrats in California flip some of those seats held by Republican incumbents.
10:57Up next, questions about the relationship between Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz
11:01and a Muslim cleric with some disturbing associations. We'll bring you that story.
11:06First, here's what some of our Fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight.
11:09Fox 5 in Atlanta. The Drug Enforcement Administration Atlanta unit makes its largest methamphetamine bust in its history.
11:17Agents say they intercepted more than 2,000 pounds of meth from a Mexican cartel's planned drop off at a suburban farmer's market.
11:26Fox 29 in Philadelphia is a man accused of ambushing a group of teenagers with gunfire, killing two and injuring a third.
11:33Pleads guilty to charges stemming from the deadly 2021 shooting and another that happened later that year.
11:39Prosecutors say 22-year-old Arshad Curry is a member of the street gang YBC, which stands for Young Bag Chasers.
11:48And this is a live look at Detroit from Fox 2, our affiliate there, one of the big stories there tonight.
11:53The city's newest transit option begins its inaugural journey from Corktown to East Jefferson and back.
11:59The autonomous transit system is a new pilot project servicing the downtown area.
12:05Follows an 11 mile loop Monday through Friday, marking stops 7 a.m., making stops rather 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
12:14That's tonight's live look outside the Belway from Special Report. We'll be right back.
12:19Agents with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement have arrested a Haitian immigrant who had previously been released on a 500 dollar bond
12:26despite facing charges of raping a child in Massachusetts.
12:30ICE had issued a detainer on suspect Corey Alvarez, but the local sheriff's office ignored it and released him on a low bail number.
12:39ICE officers found Alvarez in Boston Monday.
12:43Wholesale price increases eased in July, suggesting that inflation pressures are further cooling.
12:49The producer price index rose just one tenth of a percentage point from June to July.
12:54That was down from two tenths a month earlier. That helped send stocks way up today.
13:00The Dow surging 409. The S&P 500 rose 90. The Nasdaq jumped 407.
13:06There is new scrutiny tonight of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz.
13:10The Minnesota governor is facing questions over his alleged ties to a Muslim cleric who celebrated the Hamas massacre against Israel last fall
13:19and has a history of other troublesome associations.
13:23Senior correspondent Mike Tobin takes a look tonight.
13:26When I see a master teacher, I know it.
13:29This video is from 2018 when Tim Walz was a congressman running for governor.
13:33The man he is calling a master teacher is Imam Assad Zaman, executive director of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota since 2011.
13:41The same man who posted a link in 2015 to a Nazi propaganda film titled The Greatest Story Never Told.
13:49I do. Congratulations.
13:51When Walz became governor, he and Imam Zaman appeared together at least three times in January, April and May of 2019.
13:58Zaman delivered an invocation at the State of the State address with Walz tweeting,
14:02For the first time, we will have chaplains of three faiths deliver the invocation.
14:07In 2020, Zaman was with the governor calling for calm in the George Floyd riots.
14:11In 2023, he and Walz condemned vandalism at Minnesota mosques.
14:16Zaman has a history of anti-Israel social media posts, including on October 7th, 2023, following the Hamas-led massacre of Israelis near the Gaza Strip.
14:25Zaman reposting statements that the Muslim American Society of Minnesota stands in solidarity with Palestinians against Israeli attacks
14:34and that the United States government is on the wrong side of history today as it was always by supporting the extremist Zionist regime.
14:42The Harris-Walz campaign issued a statement reading,
14:45The governor and he, meaning Zaman, do not have a personal relationship.
14:49Governor Walz strongly condemns Hamas terrorism.
14:53The Washington Examiner reporter who first drew attention to the connection between Walz and Zaman is not convinced.
14:59It's obviously contradicted by the event in which Governor Walz is praising his personal relationship with the imam.
15:10Under the Walz administration, the Muslim American Society of Minnesota has received grants totaling over $100,000 since 2021.
15:18Another grant of almost $25,000 is promised for fiscal year 2025.
15:23Mike Tobin in our Midwest bureau in Chicago.
15:26We'll see you out there next week for the DNC.
15:28Mike, thanks.
15:29Up next, former U.N. ambassador and presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Trump versus Harris and where she sees the race right now, plus the situation in the Middle East.
15:39First, beyond our borders tonight,
15:41Russia says its forces have prevented an effort by Ukrainian troops to expand a stunning weeklong incursion into the Kursk region inside Russia.
15:50It says fresh reserves, aircraft, drone teams and artillery forces stopped Ukrainian armored mobile groups from moving deeper into Russia.
15:58Meanwhile, a Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesman says Kiev has no intention of occupying Russian territory.
16:06Tropical storm Ernesto batters the Northeast Caribbean as it takes aim on Puerto Rico.
16:11Officials there close schools and government agencies watching that storm.
16:16And the Berlin Zoo says Mang Mang, the panda, is pregnant again.
16:20Something's in the water there.
16:22This comes months after the first giant pandas born in Germany were sent to China.
16:27The zoo says ultrasound scans over the weekend showed Mang Mang is expecting two cubs.
16:32Congratulations.
16:34They're due at the end of this month.
16:36Just some of the other stories beyond our borders tonight.
16:38All right.
16:42Joe Biden is not going to be the nominee.
16:44I would make any bets about that.
16:46The party that gets rid of their 80 year old candidate is the party that will be the Democratic nominee.
16:54Why? I've said there's going to be a female president of the United States.
16:57It will either be me or it will be Kamala Harris.
17:00And if Donald Trump is the nominee, mark my words, we will see a President Kamala Harris.
17:05Donald Trump has my strong endorsement, period.
17:12You don't have to agree with Trump 100 percent of the time to vote for him.
17:18Well, there was a change.
17:20Join us tonight to talk about the presidential campaign, the situation in the Middle East.
17:25Former presidential candidate, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
17:30Governor, thanks for being here.
17:31It's great to be with you.
17:33You know, when you talk to somebody about that evolution, obviously you're running for president in one and you're endorsing the former president at the RNC in another.
17:41How do you explain that?
17:43And where do you see it right now?
17:45Well, if I thought Donald Trump and Joe Biden were the best candidates, I wouldn't have run.
17:49I ran because I thought I could do a better job.
17:51I ran because I really cared about the next generation, what was going to happen and all of the issues that I talked about on the campaign trail.
17:57But we are where we are.
17:59I am a voter, too.
18:00I have to make a choice.
18:02And when I look at the issues and I look at the differences between the two candidates we've been given, there is no question that I want to see Donald Trump win this election.
18:13Because we can't have a Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
18:16I mean, all you have to do is look at what Kamala Harris has said.
18:20She doesn't think illegal immigrants are illegal.
18:24She thinks that we should give them free education, free place to live, free health care.
18:29Tim Walz thinks socialism is neighborly and he's gone a step further and thinks we should give them free tuition.
18:36They want to raise taxes.
18:38You look at everything that's happened with our economy already.
18:41We can't afford that more than anything from a national security perspective.
18:46You can't go to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz who have not had the foreign policy experience.
18:52And the experience they do have is that they want to expand the Iran deal and give more money to a terrorist organization that says death to America.
18:59There's a lot of differences there.
19:01We are where we are.
19:02And right now, for me, for my family, for those that I love and as a voter, I think we need to hope that Donald Trump wins this election.
19:10A couple of recent polls have shown this bump, that this enthusiasm, that this new ticket has received.
19:18Reuters has registered voters at 49-47 with Harris leading.
19:23And among young voters, a big shift going that way.
19:27NPR, PBS, Marist has it 51-48 and with suburban women, Harris leading significantly.
19:35Will you go out and campaign for the former president?
19:39Well, I think the first thing you need to ask is, you know, I said that early on, I said a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris.
19:47I was always running against Kamala Harris.
19:50Republicans should not be surprised that we are now running against Kamala Harris.
19:53It was her all the time.
19:55There was no way Joe Biden, in the condition that we saw him, could take on the stresses of a presidential election.
20:01So, you know, that was something I believed in then.
20:04It's why I constantly referred back to her because I knew that Kamala Harris was the person that we had.
20:09And look, what I'll say is it's not an issue of whether I go out and campaign for Donald Trump.
20:15He's decided the way he wants to do this.
20:17What I will tell you is the Republican Party needs to make a serious shift here.
20:23And the first thing is the Republican Party, Donald Trump.
20:29People here at Fox, quit complaining that she's not giving an interview.
20:34You don't need an interview from Kamala Harris.
20:37I take her at her word. I take her at her word that she wants to raise taxes for households over one hundred thousand dollars,
20:43that she wants to add a pharmaceutical tax and a health care tax.
20:46I take her at her word that she thinks that a legal immigrant should be able to vote and be given driver's licenses.
20:52I take her at her word that she wants to ban fracking and kill a bunch of U.S. jobs.
20:57Take her at her word.
20:59Despite the fact that the campaign has pushed back and put out statements and saying that her positions have changed.
21:05She has said this.
21:07Now, what Donald Trump needs to do is go out there and campaign every single day,
21:12telling the American people exactly what Kamala Harris has said.
21:16We are 80 plus days out.
21:18We need him to win.
21:20But you got to go out and do the work.
21:22And the one thing Republicans have to stop, don't quit whining about her.
21:26We knew it was going to be her.
21:28She's not going to give an interview.
21:30They're going to hold out as long as they can.
21:32That's their right. They can do it.
21:33That doesn't mean we can't talk about what she believes in.
21:36And we should be getting out there and doing that.
21:38And more than anything, this is not an election for just the MAGA vote.
21:45Trust me, Donald Trump has that.
21:48Republicans need to be fighting for suburban women, for college educated, for independence,
21:54for moderate Republicans and conservative Democrats.
21:57They want to be asked for that.
22:00The Republican Party needs to go out for them.
22:03Talk to them.
22:04Talk to them about the fact that Americans, the average American homeowner is now 49 years old.
22:11And do you think that's not happening now?
22:13Do you think that this campaign is floundering on that point?
22:17I want this campaign to win, but the campaign is not going to win talking about crowd sizes.
22:22It's not going to win talking about what race Kamala Harris is.
22:26It's not going to win talking about whether she's dumb.
22:29You can't win on those things.
22:31The American people are smart. Treat them like they're smart.
22:34Do you think the campaign is missing the mark on those things?
22:39I think the campaign needs to focus.
22:41That's the main thing.
22:43Look, this is a winnable election, but you need to focus.
22:46Who is your target market?
22:48Your target market is suburban women, college-educated, independents, and conservative Democrats.
22:54That's your target market.
22:56The target issues are the economy, the fact that Kamala wants to raise taxes,
23:01the fact that she's taken money from those that didn't go to college and has given it to those that did,
23:07the fact that when Afghanistan fell, the fact that when they lifted sanctions on Iran,
23:12the fact that when they actually said that they would help Israel and then pulled back,
23:17where was Kamala when that happened?
23:19She was sitting right next to Joe Biden in the Situation Room.
23:22This administration is Kamala Harris' administration.
23:26Everything that has happened is hers.
23:29So define her on that way.
23:31Talk about those issues.
23:33Talk about how dangerous it is to expand the Iran deal and get back in it.
23:37Talk about how dangerous it would be to do an arms embargo on Israel.
23:41Talk about how dangerous it was that Afghanistan fell.
23:44And talk about how dangerous it is that you have a presidential candidate and a vice presidential candidate
23:51that have never dealt with foreign policy,
23:54and their way of dealing with it is we shouldn't treat Russia and China as adversaries.
23:58That's what they said.
23:59You were very prescient, as you talked about, about facing Kamala Harris
24:04and that she eventually would be the nominee.
24:07Do you think that it was designed that way?
24:10Do you think that the early debate and the whole, you know, they knew,
24:15do you think they knew that this was not going to be their nominee?
24:18I don't know and I don't think it matters.
24:20We're in a knife fight right now.
24:22Right now we need to be focused on who we need to be,
24:25not so much how we got to this point.
24:28I always knew it was going to be Kamala.
24:30I was prepared for Kamala.
24:31The Republican Party, I think, should have been prepared for Kamala, and I think they are.
24:36But here's why it matters.
24:37The key is talk about it.
24:38The New York Times op-ed, there is still a Biden scandal.
24:41The people who readily signed up for another four years of a 10-4 presidency
24:45are still running the government around him.
24:48Certainly it's better for Kamala Harris not to be asked questions,
24:51assuming that she ever deigns to be interviewed,
24:54about whether she participated in that cover-up or was taken in by it.
24:58Indeed, it's better for Harris not to have her boss in the political conversation at all,
25:02the better to separate her own identity from his presidency's unpopularity.
25:07But to the point of this, President Biden is still the president,
25:11and there are real questions about, on at least the Republican side,
25:15about his capacity to be president.
25:17Do you have those same questions about him as president right now?
25:20From the very beginning, it's the reason why I said we should have mental competency tests.
25:24That wasn't just a campaign slogan or a joke.
25:27I was very serious about the fact that we needed mental competency tests
25:31for anyone over the age of 75.
25:33I think we could do them for anybody over 50.
25:35But we have these issues.
25:37When you've got the leader of the most important country in the world,
25:42and you saw the press conferences, and you saw the shuffling,
25:46and you saw his inability to keep on a conversation,
25:50we knew that she was going to step in.
25:53It wasn't if, it was when.
25:55Now we're at the when.
25:57To make sure that there is not a President Kamala Harris.
26:00And the way to do that is, let's focus, let's get to work,
26:03and they need to be out there talking about the issues that that 20% care about.
26:09If former President Trump follows your advice,
26:12and really hits those different demographics, and wins this election,
26:17and he asks you to serve in his administration, will you?
26:22Well, I genuinely hope he does that, and I genuinely hope he wins.
26:26But, no, I'm not interested in serving in the administration.
26:29I said that on the campaign.
26:30This was never about a position for me.
26:32This was never about something else.
26:34I ran because I love this country so much.
26:37My husband's a combat veteran.
26:39I'm the daughter of legal immigrants.
26:42I have kids that I worry about as they grow up.
26:44It was really in that vein that I ran.
26:47But now it's in that vein as a voter that I want to see Donald Trump win,
26:52because we can't afford to have a President Kamala Harris.
26:55It's so much more progressive than Joe Biden has ever been.
26:58Do you think that the first woman President title carries with it a number of votes
27:04that people say, you know what, I'm not sure where she stands on these issues,
27:08but she would be the first woman President?
27:10I think women and I think Americans are smarter than that.
27:14I think what they want is someone who's going to care about them.
27:18They want someone who's focused.
27:19They want someone who's going to talk about the status of education right now in this country,
27:24and that our kids are getting dumber, not smarter.
27:26They want someone to talk about home ownership and how hard it is to own a home.
27:30They want someone to talk about the fact that prices have gone up 19 percent,
27:35and they can't do anything about it.
27:37They want someone to talk about how we're going to prevent war.
27:40Is Donald Trump that someone?
27:42He can be, and I want him to be.
27:45He's not now.
27:46You don't need to be talking about crowd sizes.
27:48You don't need to be going on rants about her not doing an interview.
27:51You don't need to talk about, you know, things that don't matter.
27:55It's not about her.
27:57It's about the American people.
27:59Talk to them and let them know you need their vote.
28:03Don't assume people are going to bend a knee.
28:05That is not that 20 percent.
28:07Their ideas are still out.
28:09What they like about Kamala is that she's being hopeful.
28:14She's talking about freedom.
28:15She's talking about a way forward.
28:17They don't want a former president talking about the past.
28:20Trump knows how to win.
28:22He just needs to do it now.
28:24He has the ability to do it.
28:26Governor, there's someone inside the Trump campaign,
28:28and maybe the former president himself, who's watching this interview,
28:31saying, wow, she's really good.
28:33Why can't we use her in suburban wherever?
28:36If he called and said, could you go here to campaign for me, would you do it?
28:41He's welcome to call.
28:43I have talked to him.
28:44He's welcome to do that.
28:45They are doing what they think is best,
28:47and that is his right to run the campaign he wants to run.
28:50He's chosen that.
28:52All I'm saying is I want to see them focus, and I want to see them win.
28:57We have too much at stake.
28:59We have to win this election,
29:01and I genuinely hope that he will go out to the 20 percent of people
29:05that are going to decide this election and say, you know what, I need your vote,
29:09and I'm going to fight hard to do it,
29:11and these are the issues I'm going to fight on.
