parenting. pete: or resourceful. let's bring in brian mast, members of the house foreign affairs committee and retired army ranger. congressman, thank you so much for joining us this morning. so, former vice president joe biden conveniently temperatured out to a virtual convention recently. now, he hasn't talked a whole lot about foreign policy as we know his track record is not stellar there. he was asked about china. here is a portion of the former vice president's answer. listen. >> the way trump-out way china will respond is when we gather the rest of the world that in fact -- in open trade and making sure that we are in a position that the world -- that we deal with who the right way. that, in fact, that's when things begin to change. pete: congressman, he was asked about trade with china i don't know if he con fueled the w.h.o. with the wto. what's the reality of a biden administration when it comes to staring down the communist chinese? >> i think for biden's foreign

policy it's going to be very simple and totally wrong. he is going to say if president trump did something it doesn't matter how much it put americans first, he is going to go out there and do the opposite. that's the whole problem with that leftist platform. the president has gone out there and said, look, we are going to put americans first when it comes to immigration. we are going to put americans first when it comes to jobs and people working here. no more important time than when the uncertainty surrounded by the committee and coronavirus to put americans first. he is going to say let's go out there and do the opposite of that because that will apiece the leftist mobs of portland and seattle that he is going out there and trying to pander to now. it's the worst thing that can happen for the economy and america and business and manufacturing, trade and everything else. >> brian: he has a lot of experience but it doesn't mean a good thing. remember, when he was speaking naturally he said china is not a threat. we can eat their lunch that's not true. sings that time they have

crushed hong kong. they are trying to reestablish south china sea. they are harassing vietnam. tijuana is on a daily threat. we sent our health and human services secretaries over to to taipei in order to send a message to china. this is no time for someone that can't find a vowel in a sentence let alone make a coherent statement on policy. this is too serious. >> they are doing everything powble, china, the they in this, to make themselves a threat. they are expanding themselves from more of a regional military to much more of a global military on top of what they're doing with the south china sea. they are going out there and doing everything possible to buy up ports, to buy up infrastructure. to buy up different places around the global. why? so that they can have military access on top of other access into those places. places of influence. even in our own hemisphere, our own areas. they are doing everything possible to be the biggest threat that they can become. on top of that they are also working to start exporting not

just their goods but their version of social monitoring of all of the people of communities. their version of a socialist society. and everybody should be worried about that. ainsley: congressman, when the president was asked about mail-in voting, this is what he said. >> it's been a total catastrophe. you can't have that. so, it's okay. able absentee voting, great. but this mail-in voting where they mail indiscriminately millions and millions of ballots to people. you are never going to know who won the election. ainsley: he is suing nevada for the way they do. this he is praising florida. you are a congressman representing florida. what are you all doing down there that is working? >> i have to say this is a caveat. whole country should know probably have to wait for palm beach county in any presidential election cycle people come used to that absentee voting vs. mail-in voting is specific. mail voting en masse is

everybody out there has a ballot sent to them that's dangerous they might send in a ballot and also go to the supervisor of elections or somewhere else and vote. absentee voting, you are a registered voter. you went onto the supervisor of elections website and said send me an absentee ballot. you fill it out. you speak why it is that you want that and you make sure that you get it sent. in you can track it. you can count the ballots each and every night. it's much more specific than the process that the president was warning people about on the other side of this. but, an important political point on this for the state of florida is this: you go back to senator rick scott, becoming senator, he won by about 10,000 votes. at that time republicans wonnable absentee ballot voting by about 10,000 votes. right now republicans are still behind in the state of florida by several hundred thousand requests for absentee ballots. we have got to go out there and make sure get ahead on this.

pete: we have seen massive increase in the amount of applications for absentee ballots. in a new york city democrat primary race alone, 80,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified. 400,000 second. in only 318,000 counted. 25 pierce. if you are one of the 80,000 who thought you voted but your vote didn't count, what's the reality of how that amplifies on election day? >> look. that's why you don't want to put all of those eggs into that basket because of the election fraud that can take place. we see it for our service members. we don't want that to happen for those that might be abroad in other places that may not be getting them in the way that they just mass mail it out instead of specifically requesting where you are going to get it at the right address because that's where you are now located. you can't have that take place and let the elections be in flux until january of 2021. that's exactly what the president was speaking about.

if every state goes out there and just mass mails everybody. instead of doing the systematically, methodically. letting voters who want it mailed to them because of specific reasons request it be mailed to them. do it in a smart way. brian: brian, you are taking action when it comes to veterans and memorial services. we all know people that can't have a funeral for those that lost their lives in this coronavirus era that we are in or very small ceremonies. what about the military? >> look, military in many fronts, they are being limited to no more than 10 people to one of these funerals. a veteran funeral and a veteran cemetery like in palm beach county or other places. this is a big problem. i think it's a typical example of d.c. hypocrisy. when you see representative john lewis he had over 50 members of congress alone that atengedded his funeral but we are going to tell veterans you can't have more than 10 people? it's hypocrisy. it shouldn't happen. have you got to let the families go out there and mowrnl and show their respects to the service

and life of these people that went out there and left this world. brian: i wes watched west pointd athan police. huge crowds but spread out the graduates. do the same spread. it takes a little bit of everett. >> listen, we are smart. we are americans, we are engine knewive. we can figure things out really well. i think spacing between people is probably one of the easiest things that we can go out there and master. >> so, congressman, the v.a. press secretary says the number of attendees varies on state and local guidelines for gathering sizes and the ability of the cemetery to accommodate attendees while maintaining physical distancing. nowhere will the number permitted to attend be fewer than 10 but many locations are allowing more than that are you satisfied with that and have you heard back from the v.a. secretary? i know you sent a letter to robert wilkie addressing this. >> i haven't heard back from

secretary wilkie. i'm going to hope that we do speak later this week. i'm well aware in many cases they are going based on local guidelines of what different counties are saying for social distancing and other places. these veteran cemeteries, they are federal property. they need to go out there and say simply, listen, if somebody passes away, they are a veteran, they are military, everybody that wants to show up, even if it's the entire community can show up and celebrate that person's life. there is a lot of space in cemeteries. i haven't been in a crowded one yet. i think we can make that work. pete: we saw days of protests whether it was george floyd or as you talked about john lewis i can go in walmart and wait for a half hour to buy a floaty. i can't go to the cemetery to honorable a dead veteran. it's amazing. thank you for highlighting. this something not enough people are paying attention. >> to it's a sad hypocrisy. ainsley: he's a veteran. he would know. lost both of his legs. thank you for your service. >> and you, pete. pete: what he gave is unlike

>> you could use that term, yes. brian: could i insert a term fall guy? sally yates calling out james comey during her testimony on capitol hill claiming the former fbi director went rogue during the russia probe. here were the top takeaways here to analyze the top take aways is former doj spokesperson ian prior. ian, first off, your take on the give and take? >> yeah, i mean, first of all, i think james comey has been the biggest piñata in washington over the past four years. nobody whether democrat or republican that worked for him or with him trusts him to do the right thing. he went rogue during the clinton investigation came out and exxonner rate offed her which was not his job and went rogue on her again. the mainstream media attacked rod rosenstein memo perhaps we need new leadership at the fbi because james comey could not follow orders. i think we see that you know, i tend to doubt that, you know,

it's all james comey's fault here. the point is somebody who has fallen so far, you know, i guess his tweets in the middle of the forest aren't getting to sally yates. brian: on all the books written about this period or investigation, he gets the show time special based on his, which should have been the fiction side of this whole thing. meanwhile, the question is, after all the information we have now, and the push by the attorney general to exxonner rated flynn and say investigation was unwarranted and which is something i believe, sally yates was asked from what you know now, with the falsifies is a report and all, would you still do the investigation? listen. >> did you authorize that interview? >> no, i did not. that's not the same thing as saying i don't believe there wasn't a legitimate basis for it. >> so you believe there was a legitimate basis for the interview. >> yes, i did. it was not a look back. it was a counterintelligence consult.

brian: so she disseminates that what do you think? >> i don't understand what the counterintelligence issue is here. clearly, what we saw was fbi agents using the logan act, a 1799 law, there has been two prosecutions, zero convictions iand the last prosecution was 1852. they use that to go interview flynn to try and get him to lie. so she can spin it as a counter intention investigation all she wants, but the bottom line is, they were using a law that nobody cares about, including every administration that comes in, they were using that to investigate flynn and try to get him to lie. brian: the big story is i don't remember is the phrase used when it came to who brought up the logan act. do you know why? because peter strzok's notes said joe biden did. and the last thing you want to do if you are sally yates is hurt joe biden now because you despise president trump. >> that's exactly right. i have got the notes right here.

peter strzok, vp, logan act. he is the one that came up with the idea. sally yates conveniently doesn't remember that she doesn't remember any of that but she does remember no attempt was made by biden or obama to influns the investigation. peter strzok in his contemporaneously notes say it differently. i wouldn't be surprised if sally yates is on the very short list of attorney general in biden administration. she is not going to go out there and do anything that is going to jeopardize his chances. brian: bye the way the overriding fact is they put sanctions on russia after the election. when they didn't have immediate reprisal there has got to be something wrong. we want reprisals. what happened is after conversation we michae we didn'e anything to do with that. we are going to have a different philosophy when we take office. there is nothing wrong with that for the obama administration they should have been bubble wrapping stuff and mailing stuff home. instead, they seemed to be

cutting out the knee was of the next administration and certainly michael flynn it. seems personal. i cannot wait to see what emerges john durham is set to interview john brennan which could signify the end of his investigation, ian, which means we are calling you again. is that all right? >> that's absolutely great. brian: ian prior, thank you. remember when joe biden said this? >> if you have a problem figuring out whether you are for me or trump then you ain't black. brian: our next guest is calling democrats out for claiming the black vote and ignoring president trump's pro-black policies. from prom dresses... ...to soccer practices... ...and new adventures. you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past... they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. let's help protect them together.

representative in the state of ohio and you worked for tim scott, who is a senator from south carolina, helped him on tax reform and he thanks you for doing a great job there you wrote this op-ed. telephone me why you wrote it on foxnews.com. it was out yesterday. >> i wrote this op-ed because the democratic party joe biden as the current leader have long taken the black vote for granted and they haven't had anything close to a sub stanive black policy agenda that would really improve black folks lives for decades. and what this presents is a frustrating situation for black voters but it also presents a special opportunity, i think, for this president based on what he has accomplished in his first four years to really increase the share of the republican party's share of the black vote i think we could double it.

ainsley: really. you said democrats assume black people are too stupid to think for ourselves and judge candidates on their merits. he lab where rate on that. >> absolutely. so, when you look at what is offered from the democratic party. whenever black folks ask the question what are we getting for giving literally 90% of our vote that democrats. if you present that question to a white liberal or a white democrat, the response is going to be well, the republican party is prejudiced. and they are going to give that response whether the president is donald trump and also give that response had it been a president cruise o cruz or rubyr casey. here in ohio simply because john kasich didn't have any black folks in his initial cabinet, democrats here called him racist for four straight years. but black folks lives improved

under kasich so they weren't buying it. when kasich ran for re-election he got one out two of black mayle male votes and one out of four black female votes for over 25% of the black vote at overall because their vote did improve. i think donald trump could produce that same kind of increase. if republicans just get just 20% of the black vote, we would never lose another national election. ainsley: i thought this was interesting. pugh research center 25% of the black voters identify as conserving. >> right. ainsley: shae hawkins thank you for being with us. if you want to read it it's on foxnews.com. >> thank you, ainsley. ainsley: you are welcome. president trump knocking on 1 million doors this he can would. team biden not one. is that a good strategy? sarah sanders is up next ♪ if you want me ♪

pete: that was the latest installment of joe biden from his basement. here to react sarah sanders fox news contributor and former white house press secretary. sarah, thanks for being here. there is two parts to this our own doug mckelway asked if he take cognitive test in june he says i take it all the time. the second part is if asked a hard question joe biden either can't answer it or yells at the reporter. i mean at least he didn't call him a dog faced pony soldier. what's your your take away from. this first, these aren't even hard questions. hard questions are dealing with the problems he would faces a president. the things that are coming at him right now, particularly questions from reporters when he actually shows up to take a few are softball questions. the ability, rather, the inability for him to answer any of these questions, i think, give everybody a lot of pause before voting for him. but, one of the things that i

find so shocking is how quiet the media is when he comes up with all of these crazy answers. can you imagine if donald trump said -- gave that answer to a reporter about whether or not he was mentally fit to be president. they would go absolutely crazy every time the president says one word off, they lose their minds, they spend the next 12 hours running it on a loop talking about how he shouldn't be president. joe biden can't get through a single interview, put one coherent sentence together and, yet, they sit quietly. i find it absolutely amaze amazw little you hear about this. particularly on an answer where he asked a reporter if he was a junky. it's truly mind blowing. brian: at least four times that i have seen when he was on the campaign trail trying to earn this nomination that was just handed to him by james clyburn he has told those questioners or

those asking a question in niece town hall settings you better vote for somebody else. called another guy fat. all right? so this is the man uncle joe that everybody says is such a great guy. he might be. i have not seen it yet or was. and sarah, how many times would you want to turn around on that reporter whe you were getting blistered on a daily basis to keep your calm. i don't know if you have a punching bag or heavy bag at home, i never saw you sweat. joe biden sweating in his basement and he has got the air conditioning on. meanwhile, the biden campaign said this to fox. it was a preposterous question deserving of a response that showed the be a suffered at this of it all. listen to his answer. it backed up the need for that question. >> not only that it's the same question that they have asked donald trump a million times. where was the biden campaign saying it was preposterous to ask donald trump that very same question? i mean, again, the idea that he can't field a basic question on

whether or not he is capable of doing the job as president, i think, shows he is incapable of doing the job as president. we have big challenges that our country faces. and he is going to have to be able to handle a lot of difficult things. if he can't handle basic questions, i can't imagine how he handels rebuilding the economy, defending against some of the toughest adversaries our country may face. fighting back against china and russia. and a number of other things if he can't handle a couple of softball questions from reporters without losing his, you know, cool every single time he gets a little bit of push back. i think that's one of the big reasons that donald trump is going to do very well in november because people, at the end of the day, know that joe biden is not ready to lead this country and certainly not ready to take on the challenges that we face ahead. ainsley: you bring up a good point we would never ask someone at a dinner party that but you can ask the president of the united states someone who wants

to have that position, commander-in-chief, who makes decisions about our military putting our men and women's lives on the lines, i think it's a fair question. let's talk about the campaign strategies of both camps. you have politico writing this is their headline trump campaign knocks on a million doors a week. biden knocks on zero. then the headline for "new york post" op-ed says joe biden's basement strategy will backfire. compare the two campaigns and how think is doing a better job. i guess i know what your answer is going to be. >> i think it's really simple. there is enthusiasm for president trump where there isn't for president biden campaign. people just aren't excited about seeing joe biden win the nomination in the way that people are ready to do just about anything to see donald trump reelected. this country has done infinitely better under his leadership and people want to see more of that. and they love that he is somebody who fights back, who stands up for our country and,

frankly, doesn't apologize for the greatness of america. joe biden can't put a sentence together. there is no wonder his campaign doesn't want him out more. would you if you were his campaign manager, if you were the one making decisions? would you want him going out and making blunders after blunder? i don't think so. you would want to tuck him away. have other people put out responses and talking points on his behalf and hope for the best. donald trump has been out every single day. he takes hard questions. he talks about his record. he talks about what he is going to do. and, frankly, he has proven himself as a capable leader. i think the contrast could not be clearer. i think that november will show that i think voters are very smart. much smarter than democrats give them credit for and it's the reasonable that donald trump won in 2016 and the reason he is going to win again in november of 2020. pete: joe biden is on tour of ohio right now virtually a big bet being made by the biden

campaign they can do it digitally. in an era voter registration might matter where they are pushing out politics. this politics door to door could end up very important in key states. >> again, i think it shows the lack of enthusiasm. nobody is voting for a president biden. even when they talk about what reason they have for him, you know, becoming president, has nothing to do with joe biden and everything is about attacking donald trump. donald trump surrogates on the other hand have a lot of great things to talk about. have a record of three and a half years of accomplishments that they can tout when campaigning for the president. i think that is a huge difference and i think that's one of the reasons you don't see those volunteers. you don't see those massive voter registration efforts the way that you are seeing from the trump campaign. i think it's going to make a big difference. again, i think that enthusiasm gap was something that people missed in 2016 and i think they are missing it again in 2020. brian: they did outraise the

biden camp breaking their one month streak. they did raise more than them last month. >> 165 million for trump last month -- >> ivanka trump raise you had $4 million just this week virtually. that's more than joe biden can raise as a candidate himself. i think that shows the difference in the power of the people supporting this president versus those supporting the vice president. brian: sarah sanders, thanks so much. have a great day. >> you bet. thank you. brian: my privilege to toss over to jillian mele. she has been monitoring every story around the globe to tell us what is happening. jillian: it is my privilege to accept that toss. let's begin with this. heart stopping new video captured by a wedding photographer showing the exact moment an explosion rocked bay rooted killing more than 135 people. watch this. explosion] that is unbelievable. the blast nearly knocking the

aide carter page. >> do you regret the fact that the signed up locations that contained false and misleading material. >> i certainly regret that the department of justice submitted with the fbi fisa applications inaccurate. think that is antithetical. >> sally yates is either lying or grocery incompetent. not possible that she could have known so little about dirty cop james comey and others from her high position with the department of justice. the political crime of the century and she had no idea what they were doing. next up graham is going to call comey and his deputy mccabe we will see when that happens. and all of this, guys, as we await that durham investigation. it's anticipated to wrap up by the end of this summer, which we are approaching. and it's important to note, remember, can criminally charge individuals if he sees fit.

brian, pete, ainsley? ainsley: thank you, griff. we will bring in president trump's attorney. good morning to you. >> good morning. ainsley: so much to talk to you about what's going on in new york. the debates, moving up the debates. first i want to get your reaction to that senate testimony of sally yates yesterday. zero coverage on abc, cbs, and nbc. >> i mean, it's a height -- it's corruption, actually. what the media has gone from is being highly biased to beings involved now in corruption. i can't go through all the things they have done. you know them. how do you not cover that unless you are part of the democratic national committee? and absolutely disgusting. yates' testimony very, very valuable. i only disagree with my friend lindsey i would have asked her didn't comey go criminal? that's what he did. he became a g man who became a crook. and it's disgusting. probably the worst thing ever done by an fbi director

disgraceful episode in fbi's history. pete: comey and mccabe may go before that committee soon. mr. mayor, we will see if there is any network coverage of that and if there are any regrets for the fraud they put on the american people. i have to ask you. yesterday we had your boss, the president of the united states on this program asked him about the debates. he said he was hoping he believed one of the debates, at least, should be moved up before early voting starts. >> of course. pete: which is in the middle of september. makes sense to us. formally you sent a letter on behalf of the trump campaign commission on debates requesting either a fourth debate that happens earlier or moving the last debate forward. how likely do you think this is it will happen? >> i think there is a good chance it will happen. we have been negotiating this for four weeks now. and we wrote the letter really because we have been through a number of different possibilities. it's my this is my personal opinion not the president. the biden people are wrestling very hard whether they are going

to put him out there or not. they are worried he could blow up. and that you can't spin away from. if he doesn't show up. -- two minutes can't think behalf to say it would be hard to lie about that. in any event, we have to have a debate before the voting starts. i mean, those schedules were set 30 years ago. now, half the people vote by the middle of october. two of the debates are after half the people vote. that's just not fair to anybody. so, originally we asked him to do all the debates in september. let's use the first wednesday, the second workers' compensation, the third wednesday and get them over with and maybe then we do one last one in october sort of as a reminder for everybody. of course the biden people -- they are having a hard time with one debate. imagine adding i think the president originally had me go in with six i think they fainted. brian: mr. mayor, joe biden said and jill biden says he plans on

debating. right now, if we go on september 29th with week one, with debate one, 16 states will have already have started voting. if we wait for the vice presidential debate, you will have 20 million americans in 24 states have already voted. if we wait for the last debate, 29 states have already started voting, that's 39 million people have no idea what these men are like head to head on the issues that will affect all of our lives. this is not a hard one. this should not be political. >> no, it isn't a hard one. >> this is logical. >> i think if they don't do it, it really riewnsz the whole rationale for this commission. they really have to go. what about the right to know. you mentioned all those -- those people have a right to know. why are we having these debates? we are having these debates to inform the electorate. we might as well have them after the election. i mean, this is like sticking to a rationale that's 30 years old that has no application to

today. and it undercuts the entire mission of the commission. usually means, you know, unless they can figure out how to become [inaudible] ainsley: tell us more about this commission. because it seems like common sense to most americans. you have the debate before you pass out ballots. >> there is only one reason you wouldn't do this. you wouldn't do this because you think that one candidate has a real chance of making a total idiot out of himself in the debate. and the american people may actually find out that he has an illness which is being hidden by the corrupt democratic. ainsley: the commission isn't biased. >> i don't know. let's find out if they're biased. if they are not biased, they can't possibly want to deprive 60% 3, 0%, 50% of the american people of the information they need to vote. pete: of course why make themselves irrelevant. mr. mayor refresh your recollection going to insist also that the two men are in the same room, that the vice

president is not going to milwaukee. >> of course. pete: we have heard reports potentially they want to do it remotely. >> sometimes if you want to do a separate interview i will tell you all the excuses they have come up with i have negotiated everything imaginable including death sentences. these people are very worried their candidate is going to blow the election by either not debating or having a mind dysfunction. when you watch him every two minutes he changes the direction of his sentence. the non sequiturs are unbelievable. and the things he can't remember. i think we all know people with this illness. brian: moderators matter, too. i'm anxious to see who emerges and how okay the president of the united states is really concerned about mail-in ballots and i don't know if you have heard. got backed up by what happened in new york. they estimated after weeks of delays after mail-in ballots now that carol malone has won this

election. guess what, 26% of all the ballots mailed in were not counted because something was wrong with him. so out of the 403, 318,000 really decided this election. what a mess. does this underline your greatest fear? >> yes. my greatest fear of all. you know, we are saying this every four years. but i think we all know that this election is very consequential. it is the most important election, i think, of at least my lifetime and i have been alive a long time. whoever wins, this country is going in two dramatically directions. either going to remain a free enterprise country or become some kind of socialist country black lives matter wants, antifa, sanders. biden has agreed with it, and he is too weak to oppose it. he can't oppose anything. he looks like he can't make a decision. so, that's where we are going. and that's where they will go because that's the way they are

going to get reelected. if they get elected they will say we have got to go further left to satisfy our base. so we're headed for pure socialism. we are head for the he could of private education. we are headed for a drastic reduction in churches and want ability to go to church. brian: military spending. >> they are dead opposed to the military. they want to do away with the police. this is no longer america. this is some other country. they are literally trying to overthrow our way of life. we can't have that happen with a phoney election. the american people want that, they darn well better vote for it. i don't think they will. as they learn more about the agenda. just go read the two or three backup documents for black lives matter. black people get salaries for the rest of their lives. nobody else. it's a very, very strange society they want to set up.

and so far, they haven't said a single word, even when the terrible violence taking place by antifa or by [inaudible] both of whom are domestic terrorist groups without any doubt. do you know who knows that best, african-americans why aren't think classified as a terrorist group? just because they are black and nobody can say it? two of the people instrumental were big shots in the weather underground. they are convicted terrorists. one of them had 58 years in jail and bill clinton let her out in '16. and she vazzing their money. susan rosenberg when she was sentenced said i only regret that i wasn't able to kill the cops that arrested him. brian: right. >> that's who is running now. stop the nonsense. stop the nonsense. these are killers and people who hate white people. they are people who hate white men in particular and they want to do away with a mother/father family. they don't think fathers are necessary. this is what we are talking about.

not the bull that you get on silly telly. ainsley: important to point out there is a difference in the slogan black lives matter and the group that is yelling fry them like bacon. totally different. thank you so much for joining us. >> 100 percent, ainsley. that's a very, very important point needs to be made over and over again. ainsley: you are welcome. say prayers for this city. you cleaned it up. pete: he did, absolutely. ainsley: going in the crazy direction. pete: begging people to come back. thank you so much. jillian: overnight portland police declaring a riot as the city sees 70th night of unrest. protesters trying to break into a police precinct ripping off plywood ramming a wooden beam into a door and setting a fire.

ing ains wayne's with less than two weeks to the democratic national convention joe biden is narrowing vp choice down to kamala harris and susan rice a trump campaign official reportedly saying that rice is, quote, absolutely our number one draft pick. here to discuss the topic polster and fox news contributor kristen soltis anderson. good morning to you, kristin. thanks for joining us. >> good morning. thanks for having me. ainsley: what do you make of this? do you think this is correct insiders allegedly telling axios those are the two picks. >> it seems likely in that we know that susan rice has a long

existing rihanna with joe biden they are friends and have a working relationship. makes sense even though she would be unconventional pick in many ways she would rise to the top. list. at the same time kamala harris known national quantity somebody run for office. unsuccessfully running for president but nonetheless somebody who has been out on the campaign trail and knows what that is all about and meets the criteria that biden is looking for a woman and perhaps preferably a woman from the community of color. ainsley: why do you think susan rice is the top choice for them? >> i think susan rice is top choice for republicans for two reasons. one for the republican base and those who really love president trump. issues like unmasking. issues like benghazi. these are still very upsetting issues for many. this is something that republicans think hey, if he chooses susan rice, she was involved in these issues. we will get to reprosecute that case during this election. but at the same time, the other thing that i think is bakinger concern about susan rice and why

republicans would be eager to see her chosen, is she has never run for office before. now, if you are donald trump, you can run for president having never had your name on a ballot. but everyone in america knows how are. you are an established name. susan rice, despite being in obama's cabinet, i don't think is as well-known to many swing voters out there. there would have to be a lot of education done in a very short amount of time and the skills you get from campaigning in the past real delay help you become a better candidate in the future. ainsley: do you think she could his topic because she does have a lot of experience in washington. ambassador to the u.n. and national security advisor as well? she has already been in the oval office many times. you saw that picture of her on the phone next to barack obama. >> i think that's right. i think that's likely to be why joe biden, the extent that she is one of the final choices the reason why she is in there. they just had that working relationship for a while. and that matters. you need a vice president can you trust. ainsley: real quickly, what do you think about kamala harris? >> i think that there is still

some bad blood there from that awkward moment in the early democratic primary debate where she sort of accused joe biden of opposing immigration policies that would hav have -- she clais helped her get a good education. very awkward attack. it didn't work for her. there is lingering upset feelings over that. ainsley: kristin, thanks for joining us. good to see you. >> thanks for having me. ainsley: you are welcome. this year the reading of the names lost on 9/11 canceled. and frank siller lost his firefighter brother that day when he raced through the tunnel to the towers to save others. he has a message to the victims. is he going to share it with us next.

are less susceptible to the coronavirus. another day of another display of silicon's valley's flagrant bias against this president. this isn't the president's first run-in with twitter. the platform has flagged several of its tweets for violating its policies in recent months. pete? pete: thank you, ashley. mark zuckerberg's promise of not being an arbiter of truth lasted what, brian two weeks? brian: two minutes. pete: brian, take it from here. ashley, thank you. >> yes. brian: will for families to read the names of their lost loved ones during the ceremony. however this year the memorial deciding not to do the live reading due to covid-19 concerns and instead use a recording. our next guest brother new york city firefighter and familiar to you who raced on foot to the twin towers where he gave his life-saving others. now tunnel 2 towers ceo frank siller come up with a new plan to honor the lives of the fallen. frank, we got your reflections on the decision. you said you are going to take action. what happened?

>> well, the action is they are not going it read the names and the tunnel 2 towers we are going to provide that service. we are going to put -- make sure that the 9/11 families have an opportunity to read the names of their loved ones. we could do it in a very safe way because i'm all about safety. we hanged out over 3 million pieces of ppe, tunnel 2 towers to make sure hospitals and everybody in new york and the tristate area and further. got back from florida as a matter of fact delivering a truck load down there. so we understand safety. we're going to make sure the readers only one at a time come up to each podium. going to be two podiums. anyone that's on the stage will be six feet apart. they will be wearing mask and get up to the podium and take it off and read the names. it's not that difficult to do. we will make sure that anyone who gathers around and listens to the names being read are wearing a mask. going to have gloves for people to wear. we will have hand sanitizers. have our staff out there making

sure that everybody is safe. brian: frank, what you are doing is your own thing, you cannot convince the 9/11 museum to do their thing. >> correct. and i wish that we didn't have to do it. i know there is a lot of families that are upset that the names weren't going to be read. they don't know many of the families that we're going to be doing. i'm sure they are going to be relieved. the day i was down there, i ran into a firefighter who lost his brother joseph henry on 9/11. sea firefighter. his father was, his grand father. and they were so upset that the names were not going to be read. i said, look, we are coming up with a plan to read them. he said it his a widow manning who wants to read for the first time the name of her husband and he left behind two young daughters. and there is a petition out there i know i talked about from donna a 9/11 survivor. the day i came on with you about

a week ago. she had a little over 2,000 signatures. now it's up to nearly 50,000 signatures. there is a great calling for us to read the names. and we, at the tunnel to towers foundation are always about remembering the sacrifice, the life lost that day. never forgetting. and it's so important to have that emotion of that day to read the names and for other generations to know what happened and you can't have a videotape of years in past. you have to have these families reading and we're going to do that. brian: we realize that used to be a country figure out. now it's all about we can't do. we can't get people into the city now. if you are coming from the outside. one of those banned states, you have to quarantine for two weeks or you could be massively fined. tell all the families that i hate to see them fall victim but we're probably going to get this on the stream and be able to contact you and see where we go from here. the memorial museum letter to families goes like this. we will use recorded name

readings from museum's memorial to make sure your loved ones are recognized and remembered. that wasn't good enough for us. certainly not good enough for frank in memory of your brother and some others. so, again, tunnel 2 towers making it happen. >> and i hope fox is down there recording it and doing it and i'm sure they will because they get it. and i'm sure many others will too. brian: that's why you give tunnel 2 towers donations you know your money goes to the right place. tunnel 2 towers.org they will take every month $10 or whatever can you afford so you don't have to worry about it or forget it. frank, thanks so much. >> thank you very much. brian. breen. brian: meanwhile straight ahead our own joey jones lost his legs 10 years ago after stepping on iud in afghanistan. >> amazing feeling because you are not knocked out by a blast. usually people go unconscious because their head gets hit. my head didn't get hit so i was awake the whole time. brian: now here joey is here to

celebrate what he calls alive day. his incredible story next. a lot of healthy foods are very acidic and aren't necessarily great for your teeth. the acid can actually wear away at the enamel which over time can cause sensitivity and a lot of people start to see their teeth turn yellow. i like to recommend pronamel to my patients to help them protect their teeth and keep the enamel strong.

i like to recommend pronamel to my patients find your get-up-and-go. find pants that aren't sweats. find your friends. find your sense of wander. find the world is new, again. at chevy we'd like to take you there. now during the chevy open road sales event, get up to 15% of msrp cash back on select 2020 models.

that's over fifty-seven hundred dollars cash back on this equinox. it's time to find new roads, again. >> the way trump-the way china will respond is when we gather the rest of the world that in fact -- in these -- and in open trade and making sure that we are in a position that the world -- that we deal with who the right way. that, in fact, that's when things begin to change. pete: let's bring in joey jones, fox news contributor and marine corps veteran, joey, thanks for being here. this day has special significance to you very much so. we will get to that in a moment. first, please do your best to be the joe biden translator for me this morning. he was asked a question about how he would take on china. that's what we got. >> yeah. so i guess, you know, few people have had a chance to influence

our relationship with china like someone who has a vice president for 8 years. clear to see this entire campaign is going to be about joe biden pointing to trump and saying he hasn't done enough to fix the problems that joe biden and barack obama created or allowed to happen the tariffs can be bad for manufacturing and consumers. more so taxes and regulatory burden. i have a small business i paid more taxes this year than the first year i made in the marine corps. i would love not to have to pay so much in taxes. nike and apple and brings that home if you want to fix our relationship or give the u.s. an upper hand. i think the tariffs were just a first step in that. brian: joey, i don't have to tell you this. is dead serious. china is our number one enemy. economically and militarily. we know they have just crushed hong kong. we never thought they were going to do it. what's going to stop them from stopping in tijuana. what's going to stop them from asserting themselves basically as we leave afghanistan taking afghanistan? i mean, everywhere we go. they are pushing. and you can't have somebody who

can't string three words together. >> no. that's absolutely right. hopefully we will stop them from doing something in tijuana. that's been a shaky relationship between china and tijuana but something we have had a big hand in now for a long time now since the 1940s and 150s. what we can do is invest from n. our country. bring manufacturing home and quit sending money to china. and also show the world we are not just a police force around the world. we actually can do diplomacy and we actually can get people to the table in different regions of the world where china wants to have influence. i think president trump was early on in his negotiation with china and we had this big virus dumped in our lap. there is not much you can do about that besides recover from it and continue pushing forward. ainsley: why is today so meaningful to you? why do you call it the alive day. >> first today, in 2011 was extortion 17. we lost the largest group of special operators and hospital crash. that's probably the most

important thing ever happened on this day. a year before that in 2010 i was blown up and lost my legs in afghanistan. we lost corporal daniel grier and that was a tough day for me. a live day in general is someone like myself catastrophically injured probably should have died or would have just a few years before lived. this is the day i stayed alive and represident-electing on a academic indicated since then, it's kind of surreal but it's also really amazing to relive that day and seat reaction on people's faces with our fox nation special like commander littlejohn that saved my life or leg deer general ben watson held my hand while they were trying to save my life. pete: joey, we are seeing images. for viewers these are images of joey 10 years ago featured in the fox nation special alive day. something fox nation does so well the content you will not get anywhere else. here is a clip from that fox nation special. from that brigade general ben you were talking about, joey. >> i was kneeling next to him in the dirt next to his stretch.

had a hand on him and just talking to him. just said sir, i'm so sorry i let you down. which at the time was kind of stunning. it wasn't something i expected. just speaks to heart and taker of the marine sergeant jones. at a time when he is not even sure is he going to make it through the helicopter ride all his thoughts are with of rest of us. pete: i get chills listening to that when you talk about alive day you are so right to contrast it with extortion 17 a year later losing some valiant seals. you live on and that's what alive day is all about. >> absolutely. we owe it to those we have lost to live and live well. i live every day in honor of corporal daniel grier and all the marines, sailors, social, airmen that we lost in this war and this amazing country we are still love and are fighting for. ainsley: who is the lady in the video was that your mom feeding

you. >> high school girlfriend i had the opportunity to wrangle back up to the hospital and create a new relationship with. even without legs maybe a little charm. ainsley: did you know immediately you had lost your legs or were you still in shock? >> i did. i had seen this happen in front of me. i had responded to similar instances and you understand when a bomb goes off under neath you are probably not going to survive intact. my first reaction walls to try to put tourniquets on. my arm was burnt so bad. i couldn't reach the tourniquet. i realized my own situation were in peril. there were people around me that needed help. going in shock probably not as coherent as i wanted i tried to be helpful. i learned this about things i don't know about that day. i will put it that way. pete: we learn from you as well. the film is called alive day, johnny joey jones now on fox nation and now until august 22nd

can you get a free copy of sean hannity's book live now or die for signing up for a two year plan. the kind' of content ethics cysts. joey, god bless you. happy alive day. >> thank you. a lot of people wouldn't have the attitude. pete: right? ainsley: that's what a soldier is. you are a hero. brian: joey, another reasonable to get fox nation. meanwhile jillian mele, you are poised to give us the news. jillian: a cancer researcher and mother of two it is murdered on her daily jog. she was found dead near a creek in plano, texas on saturday. her family says she was brutally killed by a stranger in a random attack. police were responding to a home burglary nearby when her body was found. the suspected burglar is also considered a suspect in her death. cracking down on ms-13. 11 alleged gang members arrested for sex trafficking and assaulting a 13-year-old girl. court documents say the minor

who ran away from a group home in virginia was also beaten with a bat over 20 times twice and given drugs while being trafficked. the attorney prosecuting the case says justice will be served. >> fighting ms-13 is not anti-immigrant. fighting ms-13 is about as pro-immigrant as it gets. we will not stop until we get ms-13 contained and eradicated. jillian: the gang members are facing 20 years to life behind bars. new jersey officials looking for a stiff punishment against two gym owners refusing to close during covid-19 shut down orders. >> they are throwing everything they can at us. they are trying to revoke our business license. governor murphy is requesting that the court fine us in the amount of $10,000 per day every day that we have been in operation. finally he is looking for a possible imprisonment of six months or more. >> the owners of atilis gym say they have tracked more than

15,000 visits to our facility since the pandemic began with no sign of cases. the gym has been shut down several times over the last few months but the men say they will continue to reopen. a man brings the heat literally when asking to take his girlfriend's hand in marriage. take a look starts out sweet display with hundreds of candles forming the words bury me. when he left to pick up the lucky lady his apartment in england went up in flames. their eternal flame is still burning because she said yes. oh my goodness. ainsley: i don't even know what to say to that. ainsley: i'm glad no one was hurt. did you see the picture. pete: i will leave all these candles chilling on the bed. ainsley: she might be saying thank goodness now i don't have to inherit his futon. brian: no one will. ainsley: look, there is a table. ainsley: we are happy for them.

we wish them the best. >> i'm sure the futon was wonderful. janice, over to you, my dear. janice: my husband is a firefighter and we have no candles in the house. just fyi. glad everyone is okay and engaged. take a look at the tropics. quiet for now, my friends. however, we just saw isaias carve incredible path of destruction. it just goes to show you it doesn't take a hurricane to cause massive amounts of damage. and, look at this. we are heading into peek season over the next couple of weeks in towards september. and colorado university has just released their forecast looking at 24 named storms and that would bring us to the greek alphabet. noaa releases their forecast today. past 24 hours, showers and thunderstorms for parts of the high plains as well as the mid-atlantic. very warm with high fire danger for the west. otherwise, a fairly quiet forecast but look at that

jillian: good morning and welcome back. quick headlines now. kraft is rebranding mac and cheese dinner as a breakfast food. the company says as more families are eating at home due to the pandemic, more than half of parents are giving their kids macaroni and cheese for breakfast more often. the word dinner will be changed to breakfast on the iconic blue box. meanwhile cheetos is getting into the mac and cheese market. bold and cheesy flaming hot and cheddar jalapeño. available for purchase at walmart on saturday and costs less than a buck. i want to try all of the above. pete: that is super smart. i'm going to try those as soon as i see them. a yale university student suing the school for what he calls interior learning experience.

federal lawsuit filed by jonathan rochelle's attorney school canceled contract when it canceled all classes in march. face a growing number of lawsuits over campus closures. here with more is jonathan's attorney jim francis. jim, thanks for being here this morning. so, according to my notes here. yale cost $75,000 a year, if a portion of a semester is gone because of the pandemic and learning from home. you are alleging hey, you are not getting the same education. we should get our money back. >> yeah. good morning. and thanks for having me. pete: good morning. >> that's right i this is really a case about not getting what you paid for. you know, we all know that the experience of learning on campus with these students in a class collaborating with professors, labs, all of that experience, that has a certain value. and attending just via online classes just doesn't come close to that and one of the ways we

know that is yale, like a lot of other schools already has discounted classes that are just online. so we don't know why they wouldn't simply charge that same amount that they have charged for other online classes in the past. and, you know, i think aside from the fact that you know, breach of contract case for not getting what you paid for, there is really an equitable problem here, right? these -- in light of the pandemic, so many people are hurting. that means students and parents who are paying for these -- for this really really high tuition at these elite schools. and you have a school like yale with $30 billion endowment. and it won't give a student or a parent a discount. even a modest discount? some of the other peers such asprinston and georgetown are already doing that. i don't even think those discounts are enough. but, i mean, for a school that could afford to pay for the entire student body's tuition for a year, less than the

interest that it makes on its endowment. we think it's unconscionable. less than the interest on endowment. yale has a fancy name. this could be any college across the country. here is a portion of you who yale responded to your lawsuit. they said yale acted to protect the community by moving quickly and effectively to online classes which allowed students to complete their semester safely also pro-i haded students with prorated refunds for the room and board that they were unable to use. yale says we gave back room and board but we still think we can give the same level of education. do you think that will hold up in fronts of a jury? >> i do not. there are plenty of studies which we will show through the case that an online education is simply not the same. you cannot collaborate with professors, with your peers. with your other students. you can't have the same online campus experience when you are sitting at home in your parent's house attending a few classes online. some of which, by the way, are prerecorded classe classes fromt year. right? it's not even close.

as i said earlier, i think the best litmus test for that is the fact that these schools already have online classes that are significantly discounted per credit because they know it's not as valuable. so we just have no idea why a school would yale's wealth superiority why they wouldn't -- why they should walk away without sheltering any of that hardship. like i said before it's unconscionable, arrogant and unfair. pete: jim francis, thank you very much. good luck with your suit. >> thank you. pete: different classes same bias either way. more "fox & friends" coming up on the other side. and wherever you're headed, choice hotels is there. book direct at choicehotels.com. and wherever you're headed, choice hotels is there. for bathroom odors that linger

ainsley: this year the reading of the names lost on 911 canceled and frank has a brand-new way to honor victims. >> the towers foundation is about remembering the sacrifice, the life lost that was that day, never forgetting. ♪ ♪ brian there you go. of course, new york used to be a place where you tried to get things done and now we go out of the way not to do anything, you can't come, you can't go, you have to stay and if you can come, reading of the names of 9/11, instead of figuring out a way to happen, not going to happen. frank came up with another way. ainsley: that was interesting he said -- he said this year was supposed to be family the

niece's term. that hit me. they all take turns in the families and means so much to them and all of us. pete: powerful tradition, for sure. former deputy attorney general sally yates slamming james comey in a fiery new testimony on capitol hill. ainsley: sally yates claiming the former fbi director went rogue during russian probe. brian: griff jenkins, i could almost see you in person. live at the white house with the details but outside the white house. griff: that's right, brian, pete, ainsley, good morning to you. turns out comey's boss sally yates says when it comes to doing things by the book, comey wasn't necessarily doing that. she told lawmakers she had not authorized the interview of michael flynn and comey was acting on his own. >> i was upset that director comey didn't coordinate that with us and acted unilaterally. yes, i was.

>> did comey go rogue? >> you could use that term, yes. griff: based on his contact with a russian ambassador. >> do you believe there was a legitimate basis for the interview? >> yes, i do. >> what was that basis? >> the russians were attempting to influence the election -- >> the election was over. griff: yates was grilled about her knowledge of the steels doe -- steele dossier. >> it contained false and misleading materials. >> i regret that the department of justice with the fbi -- griff: it's not so possible that she could have known so little of dirty cop james comey, the

political crime of the century and he had no idea what they are doing. next up chairman graham, he told us last month he intends to qualcommy as well as deputy andrew mccabe to testify what to find out, all of this as we await for the investigation to wrap up. we expect that by the end of the summer which should be season and the investigation has the power to criminal charge vims if -- if they see fit. pete: for 3 and a half years there was an entire investigation going on based on poison tree and the media was obsessed with it. russia, russia. the president was a russian agent. every single day. we fast-forward to a hearing where the people involved with it and hopefully hear from comey as well are saying, you know, reregret it, our bad.

we didn't know the material wasn't legitimate and we shouldn't have applied for the application. would the news media, you think, right, you have to account for that mistake, they would come on the evening news programs and cover that very testimony, well here you have it, abc, cbs, nbc gave coverage of yates testimony, zero seconds each. narratives don't change when you commit the sin of omission, brian, and you never tell your audience, what we told you for 3 years isn't true. brian: what she did say -- sally yates said she did not remember who brought up the logan act but is that relevant now? i think so, ainsley during the break told me he's running for president. it's too much based on trust clearly. you trust the people that put this in the application under

risk of prosecution, are giving the judge accurate information. that's why they find out, lack of curiosity, also from rod rosenstein, same thing. there's a push from andrew weismann to stop having people like sally yates show up, stop cooperating, got 90 days until the election, let's wait it out. rudy giuliani, watched, prosecutor by trade, this is what he said. >> what the media has gone from is being highly bias to being involved now in corruption. how do you not cover that? yates' system was valuable. i only disagree with lindsay didn't call comey crime -- criminal. that's disgusting and probably the worst thing ever done by fbi director. brian: by the way, lindsey

graham says who is the fbi agent who looked at the source, we found him at brookings institute in america. ainsley: robert ray, he's been wrong on former policy and national security issue. do you remember -- [laughter] ainsley: interviewed about how he will handle china. listen to his answer. >> the way trump -- the way china respond is when we gather the rest of the world and making sure that we are in a position that the world -- that we deal with w.h.o. the right way. that, in fact, that's when things begin to change. ainsley: all right, w.h.o., china. pete: did he mean wto.

you have to translate for him. he has downplayed the threat from chinese. what were you doing about it for 8 years before donald trump came into the presidency and made it an issue and stared down and we had representative brian and joey jones talking about biden's answer. here is what they said. >> biden's foreign policy, it's going to be very simple and totally wrong. he's going to say if president trump did something, it doesn't matter how much you put americans first. he's going to go out there and do the opposite. that is the whole problem with the leftist platform. it's the worst thing that could happen for our economy and america, for business, manufacturing, trade and everything else. >> a few people have had a chance to influence our relationship with china like someone who was a vice president for 8 years, but it's clear to

see that this entire campaign is going to be about joe biden pointing to trump and saying he hasn't done enough to fix the problems that joe biden and barack obama have created or allowed to happen. yeah, the tariffs can be bad for manufacturing and consumer but even more so how about taxes and regulatory burden. that's where manufacturing like nike and apple make their way to china and bring that home if you want to fix our relationship or give the u.s. an upper hand and tariffs is first step in that. pete: softball answer in 20 second answer. brian: if you're a trump team as i mentioned, what you would want to do before big fight praise your opponent so when you beat them it looked like you beat legitimate threat so president trump should stay out of that thing. if the surrogates want to do that, let them. he wants to raise expectations, i think

that's a mistake -- did it bush 43, not a great word smith and when he finished solid they looked at it as a win. if biden doesn't make a mistake they will talk about big victory. the democrats were outraised by republicans the last month which is a good sign for the trump team and also this, the trump team is actually grinding it out, according to politico and we talked to ronna mcdaniels and the trump team has knocked on a million dollars for week, biden zero. the results more republican signups on to the election, signing up for the election than democrats. sarah sanders on pure hard work. >> nobody is voting for a president biden. even when they talk about what reason they have for him, you know, becoming president, it has nothing to do with joe biden and

everything is about attacking donald trump. i think that's one of the reasons you don't see those volunteers, you don't see those massive voter registration efforts the way that you're seeing from the trump campaign. i think it's going to make a big difference and, again, that enthusiasm gap was something that people missed in 2016 and i think they are missing it again in 2020. brian: joe biden did go onto say in fundraiser, i don't want to defund the police, i want to give police more money. that's fine. i personally agree with that 100%, the problem is not many people on the democratic side agree with that. is he going the walk that on the border wall he won't take it down but the wall stops the day he takes office. ainsley: if you look at at the numbers the majority of americans are not for violence, not for rioting and not for defunding police. i think it's probably smart of him to say. originally he said he was going to redirect the funds and now he

wants to give them more money. pete: his base is going hear that and demand a different answer. what does he say at the debate? ainsley: the moderates like it and the progressives want to defund. brian: if you can find a moderate, please tell me who that is? [laughter] pete: registered independents. jillian: let's begin headlines with fox news alert. several homes catching fire overnight. new video showing a home engulf ed in flames. at least 7 homes were destroyed there when hurricane isaias made landfall. the aftermath of the storm being felt along the east coast. nearly 3 million people are in the dark. 9 people are dead including a 5-year-old girl. new york's bravest navigating

to slash their police department's budget in half. here now is the president of the seattle police officers mike, mike, your reaction this morning? facing possible 50% cut, maybe this looks better but what's the reality of what they approved anyway? >> hey, pete, good to be with you. the reality is -- yeah, the ignored majority, the community in seattle are starting to be heard and that's why we pushed out a campaign stopthefunding.com and we got over 150,000 signatures in one week where people were like we are not going to put up but let's be clear what happened yesterday they are still coming after us, we will lose 100 officers in this budget cycle and they will keep coming from the next budget cycle in 2021 and so we must have people continue to push back against

this unreasonable activism, defund nonsense which will put people's safety in dangerous predicament. pete: a few of the items that the city council is proposing to cut. 800,000 from recruitment and retention. less officers. 80,000 from patrol, 50,000 from travel. 36,000 from implicit bias training. i thought that was their favorite type of training. is this going to mean less officers, less capable officers on the streets for you? >> that's right, a rise in 911 wait times, rise in crime and i tell you the hypocrisy is unbelievable. as almost 3 months ago the president in city council and the mayor were were applauding being the most progressive agency, here we are, the city council, still looking at defunding us. totally political pander to go say the least and then now with

2021 coming, they are going to be more moves to defund us for political pandering purposes. to me it's unconscionable and if you're a reasonable resident across the nation. this is going to be real in next budget psych that will we must have people sign petition to keep the process going. pete: mike, do you think -- seattle very left wing in support of a lot of the protests. do you think what you call the reasonable silent majority, change who represents them on city council on the topic? >> 150,000 signatures stop stopthefunding.com. no, we will not put up with activism because their public safety -- safety -- >> pete: they have homes, they have kids and livelihoods and ultimately they know who they are calling at that moment to come to their assistance. god bless the officers under siege there. they are seeing department cut

but they do their job every single day, mike solan, great spokesman for the department. we reached out to seattle police department and they responded but not have provided a statement as of yet. if we get one, we will bring it to you. the biden campaign kicks off a virtual tour of ohio. hard to see the corn fields from your basement. the goal win over working families but will it resinate. we will ask one ohio truck driver life-long democrat turn trump supporter next. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance,

awesome. we have given people to be great outdoor experience and to enjoy being out and being free and being on horses is the best place to be. >> you had to shut down 2 months because of the pandemic but once you opened back up, people have canceled summer plans, they aren't traveling as much and you're about 2 hours from chicago so people have found this an easy place to -- to come and reconnect with the outdoors, i guess. >> absolutely, grady, they can come down and enjoy 2-hour ride, come on out to the ranch. we are just 2 hours south of chicago. we can give you the outdoor experience and you can spend the whole day in the ranch. >> you don't do overnights yet. you're planning to next year. that's another big thing, you can plan a whole big trip and stay in one place and not worry about traveling to various hotels and getting on a plane and all of that? >> right, we can make the day trip or stay overnight with us and make the weekend out of it so we will give you the cowboy experience. come on down and hang with us

[laughter] ainsley: she need to get older. pete: very cool. joe biden making push to swing the buck eye state in his direction. brian: campaign launching a tour featuring made in america round table through state officials including senator sharod brown. ainsley: but would it work, let's ask our next guest, life-time democrat before voting for trump 2016, his name is gino defabio. thanks for being here. do you think this is going to work, the virtual tour that biden is having in ohio? >> you know, joe biden, he's having a virtual tour is perfect

because he has done virtually nothing for the people in ohio. president trump before the virus hit, everything was going great, our company, we couldn't find workers, we repair heavy equipment. there was nobody to hire because everybody was working. joe biden wants to reverse everything that president trump did. now is not the time to do a little experiment with joe biden. i don't think he can find ohio. good thing he is doing it virtually. pete: he has the slogan made in america effectively just trying to sound like president trump. would voters buy that when they look at his record? >> no, pete, between -- made in america. his policies, nafta from early 90's. tell me what policy he passed that brought made in america home. president trump came in 2017, he came to youngstown, ohio, don't

sell your house, since that time general motors had their largest car assembly plant, it closed, the politicians got out front with signs, trump did this, trump lost your jobs, you know, attacking president trump. president trump got on the phone and said mary barra put something in there. thank god, thank god last week, couple of weeks ago vice president pence was there for rolling out of the endurance electric truck plant that went into the plant. general motors is spending a billion dollars on a battery plant adjacent to that plant. that's winning, that's what president trump does. he gets things done. brian: it's very interesting because vice president biden said i will bring jobs back and i will raise corporate taxes. what brought them back getting more in line with the world and

what forces them away is taxes are too high. they have to do what's right for the company. what made you flip parties, was it any one policy? >> i worked in the industry for 27, 28 years and i saw that we could compete. we were losing our jobs and there was no reason for it and president trump's message was i'm going to cut taxes. i'm going to cut regulations. there's no reason why we have to make a coil of steel in china. we can develop it here. he was right. he's proved he was right. joe biden might have a connection with china, hunter would be ambassador or something. other than that, i don't know what he's going to do. friendly with china and they are our biggest threat economically and militarily. president trump is doing the job. there's no reason and people will see that. i was delivering signs for congressional candidate and i know they asked for her signs but normally i talked to people

in unions, you know, steel mills, power plants. these were teachers, people that are not supposed to support republicans and conservatives. teachers, people that worked in retail, doctors' offices, they can't wait to vote for president trump and this congressman kristina hagen come november. you watch. ainsley: i know the president will be in clyde, ohio, is it close from you? >> not far. ainsley, the last time i was on "fox & friends" in the morning he came to youngstown and that's -- that's right. they got in touch with me and they said, hey, we want you at the rally and i said i'm at the rally. it started at "fox & friends" in the morning and i ended up in stage. ainsley: largest washing machine manufacturing plant in the world. it all happens right there in ohio. >> yes, it is. pete: gino, thank you. ainsley: it's thursday, little

bit after 8:30 you know what happens. newest weekly jobless claims, the numbers were just released 1.19 million claims filed last week. former obama economic adviser robert wolf and white house economic recovery task force member stephen moore are here to react. if it's too late or where you happen to be. one dose of ubrelvy can quickly stop a migraine in its tracks within two hours. many had pain relief in one hour. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. few people had side effects, most common were nausea and tiredness. ask about ubrelvy. the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine.

brien: back with fox news alert. weekly jobless claims 1.19 million unemployment filed last week. that's less than what was expected, 56 million americans have filed for unemployment since the start of the pandemic. again, over a million, obviously not good but not unexpected, slightly less than thought. here to break it all down former economic adviser to president obama robert wolf and stephen

moore. they disagreed professionally but like each other personally. >> i don't like seeing a million new people signing for unemployment benefits. look, we have to get the economy up and moving, brian, we have to get businesses functioning and get workers back on the job. i love the idea that donald trump is talking about a payroll tax cut, robert. something barack obama did. why not do that to help get some of the jobs back? brian: robert, you're against that because it doesn't fund medicare or social security? >> no, i'm against it for many other reasons. twentieth straight week over a million jobless claims. what we are going to see in tomorrow's unemployment number those furloughed will become permanently unemployed. my problem with payroll tax cut

in some areas it would be great but what we have to take care of is two things, those unemployed from the pandemic and it does not help them. it does not help any businesses that have closed and for someone who scared about deficit and debts, we know this is just going to absolutely destroy the deficit continually as we are reading revenues. as we have a comeback that we will look at this but this would be wrong way to place our money today and doesn't help those who need it today and it's trickled-down economics. brian: robert, hover down like a turtle. >> come on, democrats will lecture about deficits when they want a trillion dollars. why not provide a payroll tax cut? as you know, robert, your friend

barack obama did and you guys said, this is great for middle-class workers. this is a way to get -- hold on, let me make one other point. one thing that we should all agree on, we should all agree on as americans it makes zero sense to be paying unemployed workers more money for not working than not -- working. the idea that we will get people twice as much money for not working, come on, robert, that doesn't make any sense. brian: you're talking about the rescue package that many people think the unofficial deadline is friday. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are not budging of playing 600 plus. >> this is 2 against one. you guys have to add more people on me. the facts are wrong. there's been 5 different -- 5 different analysts that have come up that say americans want to go to work, americans aren't

staying home because they want to collect unemployment. i'm surprised that the 3 of us -- brian: robert, you're missing the point. >> yale, michigan, all of the data come out that those facts are not factual that people want to stay home and not work. that's bs. it's just not accurate. brian: but you're not portraying it correctly, robert. it's not want to, if you're getting paid more to stay home, you owe it to your family to take that extra money even though that's not what it's for, right, stephen? >> it's not accurate. >> hold on, robert, talk to people on restaurants, people that run factories. what they are telling from california to new york, they can't get workers back on the job because as brian has said they get more money for not

working. we all want to be fair to people and provide safety net but $600 a week on top of normal benefits, how does -- by the way, how does paying people not to work stimulate the economy? >> you keep going back to same-old, same-old. first of all, i like how you say new york and california. brian: not the issue. let's move on and talk about the package and the broad scope. number 1, do you think it gets done, stephen, or do you think that mark meadows is pushing the president toward executive action and letting negotiations end in stalemate? >> i think the president should say no to the package. disaster for the economy. $3 trillion of spend asking way too much. president trump should take action by himself and get the economy stimulated by giving every worker in america pay increase. brian: robert, what do you think

will happen by friday? >> i don't know if they'll be a deal by friday but we should have a deal. it's the most important thing we make sure there's no evictions for the people who can't pay rent. there should be a moratorium. we should continue with payment protection plan and absolutely give direct payments. i mean, there's a lot of things that have to be done. by the way, i haven't touted 3 trillion nor a trillion so don't put words in my mouth. what i touted for is we need to take care of hard-working americans and small businesses that are unemployed or closing and payroll tax cut does not do that because those people don't get helped by it. brian: i think it's a minor point considering what we have. it's one element. we will see. we will talk about that next week.

usually ride together, but he wanted to ride his bike and so i guess when they went in the store obviously this guy comes up and takes my son's bike. they come running back home, mom, ryan's bike is gone. ainsley: was a christmas present? >> we took him to wal-mart a couple of weeks before christmas, just to see what they really wanted for christmas and that was, you know that was the main thing that had stood out to him. ainsley: the feel asking awful. the feeling from a child is even worse. tim, i see you shaking your head. did you get the call? >> well, the report came across my desk and bikele thefts are

kind of hard to investigate because a a a lot bicycles look a like and i thought nobody steals somebody's bicycle and they were able to provide surveillance of a white male, older white male stealing the little boy's bikele and i thought that was just wrong and a lot of times we can use social media and so i posted, had this guy's image posted on social media and hopefully trying to identify him while -- go ahead. ainsley: i'm sorry, we are close to the end of the show so i want to hear the wonderful part of the story. you heard about it and what did you do next, officer? >> i initially started looking for a bicycle and before i knew it there were several people within the surrounding community contacting me saying, hey, i
