wanted to get elected into a position to make a difference and you can't do it, you've got to step aside. it's time that citizens and voters start to put the politicians in place and give them a gut punch. you can't embolden criminals and say we can't keep up with this, we can't protect you, we can't protect our citizens, let the criminals do what they want. if you can't handle this job, whether you're elected politician or political person or chief of police or mayor of a city, step aside, step down, let someone step up that's going to take charge. it's out of control and disgrace to the country. jillian: let's take a look at the numbers here, the chicago july homicide numbers as you can see, they're at 139% increase from this time last year and then if we go ahead and take a look at new york city gun violence, there were 776 shootings all of last year, 784 so far this year. we have video from portland where there it was reported that

150 round shooting happened at an apartment building as crowds there continue to clash with police. what is your message to america this morning? >> my message is this. if we don't stand up right now and get rid of this defund the police movement, this is only going to get worse. you have a criminal system right now that knows nothing is going to happen to them. you have political officials that like keeping everybody weak right now, like i've been saying for the last three or four weeks, keep everybody weak because there's an election coming up, make people change their mind, make people think the country is outs of control. in august of alone, we have 26 people shot in chicago, eight murdered and there's people talking about defunding the police. we don't have enough cops on the streets. we don't have enough cars. some cops are riding four deep in a squad car. it's time to put these people in

check, vote them out. go ahead. todd: i was going to say, switching to minneapolis for a second, these are actual police officer tips to stay safe as street crime surges. take a look at these. don't walk alone, carry only items you need and less cash. don't carry as much cash is what they're saying. be prepared to give up your cell phone, purse and wallet. use a tracking device. memorize your license plate number. this is advice you give to people going to a third world country. when you see this, what's your reaction? >> totally unacceptable. you have just given up. you raised the white flag and begin up. let the police be the police. you have to start in every community throughout the city right now, throughout medicine , wherever you're at, let the police be the police. have you a protest movement of everybody deserve a trophy protest movement that's going on through the country right now.

a lot of people out there don't know why they're out there. some are being paid to be of out there. you have a criminal enterprise going on because criminals are so emboldened. chicago, our state's attorney won't lock anybody up. a person shot a police officer that was on parole for another shooting, he shot a police officer in the face, thank god he didn't lose his life. if you're going to give up on your city, state and country, step down and let someone else take over. jillian: those are tips that the minneapolis police department has given to their citizens. i wanted to be clear, we weren't talking about other elected officials. those were tips from the police. >> let me tell you this, no police officer is ever going to give that tip out unless someone told them to give that out. there's not a cop in this entire country, proud to wear that badge on their chest, is going to give that tip out of unless somebody higher up or in some city council somewhere else said you better give this out because we can't keep up with the crime

right now and we're going to talk about defunding while we're at it. jillian: glad you made that clarification and told us that. thank you, anthony napolitano, thank you. appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me. todd: time now, 17 minutes after the hour. microsoft moving forward with talks to buy tiktok as president trump threatens to ban the chinese owned app. jillian: kurt the cyber guy reacts and gives you all the information you need to know, next. guys, it's that time... and nothin's happenin'.

of this. we're going to fix this. todd: the clock is ticking for tiktok, to potentially sell their u.s. operations to microsoft. president trump giving the company a deadline to make a deal before moving forward with threats to ban the app over security concerns. jillian: could the ban have an impact on the vote this november. kurt the cyber guy is here to react. we can take a look at who exactly thinks this is a good idea to ban tiktok. gen z and millennials, the majority say they don't want a ban. gen x and baby boomers feel differently about this. what kind of impact could this have? >> i'll tell you now, log onto tiktok and there it is, chorus of people in the community are to retaliateban tiktok and against the president, almost waging their own war. there's some concern there. there's also a rapidly of evolving story there. they need to chill for a moment.

the president is reportedly going to allow 45-day respite to allow for a transaction for tiktok and have a better look at it. last we checked, microsoft is still in the bidding for that. late-breaking news overnight, that the british government reported by some newspapers is apparently going to allow bite dance, the owner of tiktok, to move their headquarters to london. how that influences the president, it's likely not to be good. it will be an interesting way to see how the white house takes -- if that's indeed true, it will be interesting to see how the white house handles that. jillian: for sure. todd: to be clear, though, microsoft owned tiktok would still have your data, would just be american owned, not chinese owned, right? >> i think we would be -- our concerns about the chinese government and the communist party there having legal access to the private data of all the kids in america that are on tiktok would go away. if they moved to the u.s., they

were out of china, had no more ties there including ownership, then that would be a solution to thwart that problem. the other thing is has this done damage to tiktok long-term. you have kids all right bolting to other appings apps, and theyy to go somewhere else if it gets turned off for some reason. the president has complete authority to ban tic tiktok. there are broad international laws, he could declare a national emergency related to data. jillian: i can't keep up with the kids these days. what is bite? >> bite is a tiktok competitor that was created by the same guy who made vine, remember vine, the video app? it is like a vine revival. jillian: i never got on vine. >> you didn't? you're very tech savvy, we know that. if vine were still a thing, you

would be transitioning to bite. tiktok has a more current pop culture focus. bite is not very relevant that way. triller is the app kids are moving to in droves. a lot of those up in the air about tiktok say -- it will be interesting. secretary mike pompeo said the president is looking at a broader china tech ban in the coming days. i think we have a chill out for tiktok, we have a broader look at what are we doing with chinese technology as relates to the tentacles in the united states with concerns about our privacy and how the data could be used against us. it will be interesting to he see how this evolves. jillian: good information as always. good to see you. it is 25 minutes after the hour. some biden supporters say don't debate president trump because it gives him more chances to lie. is that the reason? or some concerns about more gaffes like this?

>> all men and women are created by -- you know the thing. we choose truth over facts. todd: you know the thing, jill -- jillian. can biden hold his own, though? we won't cancel this debate. it's coming up next. ♪ one way maybe next week. ♪ i'm going to meet you.

jillian: overnight, tropical storm isaias crawling along florida's coast. powerful winds and heavy rain hitting the sunshine state throughout the day, before taking aim at the carolinas. todd: the storm leaving a trail of destruction in the caribbean, massive floods in the dominican republic killing at least two people there. meteorologist janice dean joins us with more on the storm's

path. janice, good morning. >> good morning. well, the good news is, the storm is now a tropical storm it was a hurricane over the weekend and then it weakened and we don't think it's going to regain hurricane strength which is great news. however, we're still going to see the effects of strong winds, at least tropical storm force winds as well as heavy rain and storm surge. it's going to be rough along the coast, not only for florida but all the way up towards the northeast. there you have a look at it, 70-mile-an-hour sustained winds, 74-mile-an-hour makes it a hurricane. it's just off the coast of florida. it will continue its northward sainjaunt up towards north caro. here are some of the current wind gusts, in excess of 30 miles an hour along the coast as it moves towards the carolinas, potentially making landfall over south carolina today and then moving up towards north carolina and then eventually the northeast as we get into tuesday

and wednesday. and by the time it gets up to the northeast, it's going to be like a nor'easter. so, you know, definitely the potential for heavy rainfall, strong, gusty winds. it will be a rough beach day along the coast as well and we could see heavier rain totals, 4 to 6 inches in some isolated amounts as it moves toward the carolinas and eventually the northeast tuesday and wednesday. but the good news is, we are going to potentially see a landfall across south carolina, north carolina, but a weaker storm. nothing that they're not used to along the coast. so we'll continue to bring you the very latest from the fox news extreme weather center. all right, todd, jillian, back to you. jillian: thank you, janice. we'll check back in with you later. the countdown is on with just two weeks until the democratic national convention, presumptive nominee joe biden ramps up his search for a running mate. todd: as the veep stakes heat

up -- >> reporter: vibiden kicking off his made in america tour this week. the two weeks before the democratic convention, all eyes are on who he will pick as his running mate. the decision is expected any day now. senator kamala harris, california, remains the likely frontrunner. karen bass also from california is garnering attention. bass now expressing regret for one time in the past when she called cuban dictator fidel castro commander in chief. >> i absolutely would have not put that statement out and i will tell you that after talking to my colleagues who represent the state of florida, raised those concerns with me, lesson learned, would not do that again for sure. >> reporter: trump senior campaign advisor jason miller says biden's choice here is extremely important given a lot of speculation over just how long he will be able to stay in

office. >> his vp pick is in many ways his political living will. he said he's going to be a transition candidate, onto the next generation. he refused to say he would run for a second term. it really does matter who he picks. >> reporter: the contenders for the vp nod say they will be ready to take over if needed. >> you can never be 100% prepared. but absolutely, i do feel that i could do the job. >> i think any one of the women whose names have been mentioned, being considered, are fabulous women and well prepared to step up and do the job of vice president or step up and take over as president if needed. >> reporter: as election pressure ramps up, senator bernie sanders is laying out the left's game plan behind getting joe biden elected. >> the immediate path is to come together to defeat trump. and then as progressives, we're going to do everything we can to make the biden administration the most progressive

administration that it can become. >> reporter: president warning his voters about that move to the left in the party, saying american jobs and livelihoods are at risk. >>.>> joe biden and the radical democrats are against fracking, they're against guns and they're against the bible, essentially. >> reporter: the president will be signing an executive order today encouraging businesses to hire american, guy, so look out for that. a lot of focus on manufacturing jobs in the midwest, the rust belt, all that stuff. jillian: all right, rob, thank you. see you in a bit. todd: some of the names on joe biden's vp short list facing back lash for controversial comments they made in the past. with only a few months before the 2020 election, could this impact joe biden's viability? joining me to debate, republican strategist, joseph pinion and democratic pligh political anal,

kelly himan. a lot of scrutiny on the karen bass statement on fidel castro, following the death of fidel. she said the passing is a great loss to the people of cuba. obviously getting a lot of pushback on that. let's not forget about susan rice on the defens defensive fos comment on benghazi. >> what sparked the recent violence was the airing on the internet of a very hateful, very offensive video. todd:.todd: kelly, this criticf these two individuals, does it impact joe biden's vp selection and in turn his candidacy? >> no, i don't think so. i think whoever biden picks is going to be scrutinized. but honestly, i think it's a disfractiodistraction of what'sn in our country. i mean, we are facing an unemployment rate which we've never faced since the great depression.

we have over 100,000 people dead because of covid. i mean, we're facing really concerns in our country. so i really don't think it's going to have any effect on biden's selection. whoever he picks is going to be criticized and i think it's just a distraction. susan rice has been exonerated for everything that she's done. and also, you know, in regards to the other potential candidates as well, she has come out and said she made a mistake by her statement. so as i said before, i think it's just a distraction. todd: joseph, if kelly's answer is any indication of the entire democratic parties, they're going to make this election a referendum on covid and impact of covid. there is a lingering issue of biden and the veep stakes. what say you? >> look, i think the reality is that joe biden should be focused on picking someone that gives him a little heft with the electoral college. he should be focused on picking someone that can do the job on day one because we're not

entirely sure he is up to the task. so those are the things that you would hope the democrat woulds be focused on. instead, they're leaning full throttle into identity politics, they're really focused on everything from -- you want to pick someone like susan rice, it would be benghazi, 24/7, seven days a week. at some point we have to focus on the fact that, yes, joe biden needs to answer serious questions about covid, that's why we should be talking about 7 million people that -- are they going to have a pathway back to getting jobs. i don't think the person who was barack obama's copilot for the slowest recovery in the history of the modern world is the person that will have the answers to the 21st century problems that will be facing america. todd: a lot more to come of this. this comment from former clinton press secretary joe lockhart over the weekend raised a lot of eyebrows throughout the nation.

it was something to me. listen to this. this is what joe lockhart said about vice president biden urging him not to debate president trump because it gives trump a chance to lie. take a listen. >> it's not really a debate if only one side is willing to tell the truth. giving him that sort of national forum to continue to get to 21,000 or 22,000 lives, i think just isn't worth it for the democrats or for biden. todd: kelly, is that attack on trump a convenient excuse to keep biden off the debate stage. >> whic no, i would totally de with that. biden has committed to have three debates with trump. the concern is that trump doesn't follow the rules and ellies. according to the washington post, trump has over 20,000 lies or misstatements. we're looking at basically 12 lies a day. we have to think do we really want someone that lies so much as the leader of our country?

sitting here today, are we better off today than we were four years ago? the answer is no, we're not. todd: joe, quick rebuttal. >> look, this is not about protecting the american people from lies, it's about protecting joe biden from scrutiny. the democrats are trying to complain about lies. they're the same people that ran hillary clinton i'll wipe down the server with a cloth for president of the united states four years ago. what we should be focused on are the debates. reporters will give him hard ball questions on the economy, stability in the region, china, and all the things that democrats have no answer for. todd: thank you so much, joseph and kelly. obviously, a long way to go before this all gets settled. we appreciate your time this morning and i think we'll have you back if these debates ultimately happen. jillian: firefighters rescue a dog from the bottom of a well.

todd: israeli fighter jets carrying out air strikes overnight after military officials said they stopped four expected militants from planting explosives at the northern border. trey yingst has more. >> reporter: overnight, four suspects planted ieds along the israel, syria border, according to the israeli military. all four are believed to have been killed when the israelis responded with an air strike and small arms fire. defense forces tell fox at least two devices were planted and the suspects were hit within minutes of placing those devices. no israeli troops were injured in the incident. there is an investigation ongoing to determine who the suspects were affiliated with. this comes as the israeli military remains on high alert in the north, fearing retaliation by hezbollah. last month one of the organization's fighters was killed in an israeli air strike in syria. overnight, a rocket was fired into israel from gaza.

the israeli military responded by striking a number of targets linked to hamas, the group in control of the gaza strip. having tension in the north and south is a unique scenario for israel. the country is trying to avoid the possibility of getting into a multi-front confrontation. todd, jillian. todd: trey, thank you very much. jillian, over to you. jillian: after leaving the new york times due to what she says was a hostile work environment, former opinion editor barry weiss is doubling down on her criticism of cancel culture. >> leaders and editors need to have a level of bravery, thick skin and fearlesss in. when you live in fear of an online mob, that's extremely dangerous. what cancel culture is about you is not about criticism, it's about punishment. it's called something like social murder. jillian: does she have a point? joining me to break it down is policy analyst for the independent women's forum, kelly

buller. good to see you this morning. what do you think of what she had to say? >> well, she was unfortunately correct in her criticism of cancel culture. it absolutely is a danger to society. it is toxic. conservatives are often warning against it as barry weiss pointed out, it ultimately leads to violence because in american society if we can't figure out our differences through debate and constructive criticism, ultimately we're going to see more and more of these violent riots happening in the street. that said, conservatives such as myself warning my fellow americans about it isn't going to accomplish much. what really needs to happen is we need to hear voices from the moderate and really the far left coming out to speak about how toxic and dangerous cancel culture is to american society.

i am glad to hear bill mahr agrees with her in many ways. i would like to hear more voices on the left come out and have a real conversation about why cancel culture is dangerous for our society. jillian: it was interesting to hear her point about it being not about criticism but about punishment because when you think about it, even back to when we were kids and you make a mistake or say something wrong, you're supposed to learn from that, right? like if you're just punished without understanding why and learning from it then we can't grow as humans. across the board, that's political party aside. >> i couldn't agree more. forgiveness is a fundamental aspect of american society. and what cancel culture does is try to get people fired. i actually have reported on cases like this myself and it's not always for doing something that's extremely problematic.

sometimes it's simply just for supporting policies like president trump and other cases what barry weiss is warning about is cancel culture is having a impact in newsrooms. she used to work in the new york times and felt she couldn't publish any sort of moderate of right-leaning opinions because the new york times was bowing to twitter mobs and we know twitter is not representative of the american public and so when news organizations such as the new york times are getting their editorial direction from these far left activists who support cancel culture, it's not representing the american public or even what they think about cancel culture. i think a lot of us, whether you're right or on the left, have reservations about the path americans are going down. jillian: let res take a look at this headline from a new york post op-ed from over the weekend, a conservative author, and this says, quote, what the world needs now is love and a hell of a lot more defamation

lawsuits. the only way to get the washington post or cnn to stop the abuse is to make it cost them dearly. there's an opportunity for people who care about accountability in journalism to do some good. trust in media is at an all-time low, 52.1% of americans say media outlets are credible. you can see the breakdown there. what needs to be done? >> look, this isn't a situation i want to be advocating for more expensive lawsuits against the media but what we need right now is justice and accountability. what happens to nicholas sandmann is unfair. he needs legal help. luckily he was able to get that. he was achild at the time. he wasn't even 18 when this happened to him. so what these lawsuits can accomplish is justice for individuals who have faced media abuse such as nicholas sandmann and also accountability, preventing the media from going after individuals such as him,

smearing them and potentially having long-lasting impacts by not reporting fairly and so lawsuits are ultimately going to help the media get a wake-up call to start treating all individuals fairly, then i support that. jillian: kelsey buller, thank you very much as always. we appreciate you being here. >> thank you. jillian: todd? todd: one nba player standing alone, the social media response to the miami heat player's respect for the anthem when we come back. hike!
