okay? [ laughter ] >> no, but i'm serious. jillian: who are democrats really voting for this november? "fox & friends first" starts right now. ♪ ♪ take on me. ♪ take on me. ♪ take me on. ♪ take on me. ♪ i'll be gone. ♪ todd: not necessarily an aha moment with the vice presidential selection by joe biden, a lot of people expected this but we promise, we will take it on for the next hour here on your tv. good morning, everybody. you're watching "fox & friends first" on this wednesday morning. i am todd piro. jillian: i am a fan of that musical selection, by the way. i'm jillian mele. let's get to this, in their first appearance as running mates, joe biden and kamala

harris will deliver their message to voters this afternoon. todd: griff jenkins live for us in washington with reaction to the newly minted biden/harris ticket. griff, good morning. >> reporter: now we've got a race, todd and jillian, good morning. she's the daughter of indian and jamaican parents, making history as the first woman of color on a presidential ticket, the one time primary rival to biden will appear by his side in delaware. biden made the announcement, saying i've decided take kamala harris is the best person to help me take this fight to donald trump and mike pence and then to lead this nation starting in january 2021. harris took to facebook saying in part, i've never been more ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work. donald trump thinks this country belongs to him. but joe biden knows it belongs to all of us. to the people, and together the people are going to take it back. this is the -- she was california's first woman to be

attorney general. and best known here in washington in her short three year senate career so far for her prosecutorial style and being tough during hearings. >> did you watch dr. ford's testimony? >> i did not. i planned to. i planned to but i did not. i was preparing mine. >> reporter: democrats across the board sent swift congratulations from the other vp contenders who didn't get picked, former secretary of state hillary clinton and progressive senator bernie sanders giving her a congratulations. the california senator showed early in the primaries she wasn't afraid to take on biden. >> to hear you talk about the reputation of two united states senators who built their reputation and career on segregation of race in this country. there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her

public schools and she was bussed to school every day. and that little girl was me. >> that's a mischaracterization of my position across the board. i did not praise racists. i agreed -- my time's up. >> reporter: meanwhile, president trump wasting no time going on the attack. >> she was very, very nasty to -- one of the reasons it surprised me. she was probably nastier than even pok pocahontas to joe bide. >> reporter: the trump campaign is already starting running ads, casting harris as too liberal to be in the white house but for now, the race is set. here we go. 83 days. todd, jillian. jillian: griff jenkins live for us. thanks, griff. todd: is a biden/harris ticket enough to gain the support of the far left. jillian: here to break it down is social justice director, less

laitezlyn figaro. joe biden said he would pick someone that would be ready on day one. is she ready? >> a lot of folks feel she is ready. she has more experience than the other women who were considered with the exception of karen bass. senator harris was the second black woman ever elected to the u.s. senate. when you looked at all of the women that had an opportunity to be on the short list. a lot of folks believe she had the experience. it was a slight of woman who certainly had a lot of experience as well but it looks like it's come down to senator harris and they believe she's ready on day one. todd: let us take a look at kamala harris' positions on political issues. she helped pen legislation prohibiting use of choke holds and no knock warrants, praised the la mayor for slashing the police budget, supporting medicare for all that allows some private insurance, wants

abortion rights protected, calls herself a progressive prosecutor and she has called to study reparations. are progressives energized to head to the polls because of this pick. >> i guess it's what do you call progressive. when you look at a public defending who said she is one of the most progressive das she ever worked with in california but there are some progressives that will never be satisfied unless bernie sanders is running. he has supported senator harris saying she's ready for the job. i think she shows a balance to vice president joe biden, which is a good thing. it's not always good to have folks around you who are in agreement with everything you say and if bernie sanders had the guts to stand up to joe biden like senator harris did, perhaps maybe he would be the democrat nominee. but he didn't. so senator harris took the leap and challenged joe biden on issues she felt were not leaning left enough. i certainly wouldn't say she's far left by no stretch of the imagination and certainly joe biden is not. he is the person at the top of

the ticket. he's the moderate. he's against medicare for all. those are issues the democrat party will have to fight out on how will they move forward on medicare for all as they move forward, not just through the election but if they win when it comes down to legislation. jillian: if they are to be elected this november, a lot of people are questioning right now when people cast their votes this november, are they going to be voting for joe biden or for kamala harris. because you've got to look, is joe biden going to be able to sustain a second term if that were to be the case. where do you stand on your opinion as far as that's concerned? >> well, i mean, to be honest with you, i think people who are not for joe biden are just not for joe biden. it doesn't matter if bambi was the vice president candidate pick. there are folks who are against joe biden and i don't think joe biden is concerned about people who are against him. i think the democrat party is focused on who they can get to the polls, opposed to begging those who are not coming out, no way in hell. you're either riding with biden or you're not.

a lot of folks may stay home. obviously people will be voting for president trump. i think this season is a real clear line, either you're for it or against it. it's quite clear. we only have 83 days left. i think at this point most folks have figured it out. i don't think there's a lot of folks who were wavering one way or the other. but kamala harris will bring new voters to the table who are excited about her possibly historic win that joe biden just maybe can't motivate. todd: that bambi comment will resonate in my mind for the next 83 days. thank you, tezlyn. >> thank you. jillian: president trump doubling down on his promise to send federal backup to american cities under siege. todd: seattle's top cop said she will step down over the lack of respect for police. marianne rafferty is live for us in los angeles with the police pushback. >> reporter: the president making it aware help is

available for cities dealing with unrest for more than two months now, and they need only ask. >> we should do the opposite of defunding. we should help the police more. you look at oregon and you look at what's going on out there, we're willing to help. they're supposed to call and say please send help. they have 10,000 great law enforcement people. really, they can take care of it themselves but we would be glad to send in the national guard. >> reporter: instead of reaching out for help, portland is letting hundreds of rioters off without charges. to date, 550 cases have been referred to the da. of those, only 45 are being pursued. the da, mike schmidt, says he doesn't condone the violence, it's about the protester's right to be heard. >> this policy acknowledges that centuries of disparate treatment have left deep wounds. >> reporter: in chicago, a city under siege by looters, mayor

lori lightfoot instilling a curfew, tweeting access will be temporarily restricted from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. for the second night, draw bridges were raised and freeway entrances closed. business owners scared of losing everything hoping the curfew will provide a much needed break from the lawlessness. in seattle, business owners there begging for more officers to help them, even as police chief carmen best has resigned after the city voted to defund her department. >> this is not about the money. it certainly isn't about the demonstrators. i mean, be real. i have a lot thicker skin than that. it really is about the over-arching lack of respect for the officers, the men and women who work so hard day in and day out. >> nothing but the seattle police department's best efforts to help aid the business owners in the downtown corridor, only

to see them basically being spit on and being treated very poorly. it hurts all of us. >> reporter: chief best says she couldn't bring herself to carry out layoffs which she says would hit newer, likely minority officers the hardest. todd, gillian. todd: marianne, thank you. jillian: it is 11 minutes after the hour. mainstream media fawning over kamala harris, but are they digging into her past? former federal prosecutor brett coleman thinks her track record as a u.s. attorney is pretty brutal. he joins us live with his message. todd: and shark week continues. a chosen counter with a great white, the florida waters where that guy's lurking as "fox & friends first" continues. ♪

kamala harris' controversial past as a da coming to life, critics questioning if she was the right pick as democrats push for police reform. former u.s. attorney brett tulman says joe biden and kamala harris have horrible criminal justice records. thank you for being here. as a fellow prosecutor, what concerns you about her record? >> well, you know, prosecutors can be great or they can be terrible. what i mean by that is, they wield as much power as we grant in this country and kamala harris has a track record that should concern everyone and one that i think she is trying to outrun. she made decisions -- her gut instingtsinstincts were so poore instances, you take for example that she knew of exonerating evidence that would have exonerated an individual on death row, she held onto it. she didn't reveal it until she was absolutely ordered to by a court. she's now trying to invent

herself as the criminal justice reform candidate and i think we need to be careful because her instincts as a prosecutor and as attorney general in california were very poor. todd: you probably recall tulsi gabbard commenting on that during the debates. take a listen. >> she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then latched about it. -- laughed about it. when you were in a position to make a difference in these people's lives,. >> have you smoked? >> i did. i did inhale. todd: do you believe that harris has changed her tune when it comes to criminal justice reform, deep down in her heart or is this all to further the political career? >> you know, the sad state of our politics in this country really are that people are willing to say what is needed to be said. they don't stand on a foundation right now, joe biden, kamala

harris, don't stand on a foundation of proven effort to try to reform a system that is indeed in need of reform. instead, they made decisions that at the time made them popular and now we see it again. joe biden, one of the authors of the '94 crime bill and other crime bills now trying to reinvent himself as someone who has cared about the communities of color and the impact of the criminal justice system. that's not accurate. and now we see it is not accurate with his pick for vice president. todd: let's switch gears to chicago, the police superintendent blaming the state's attorney for her soft on crime policies, basically saying, look, this is the reason we have the problems that we have now. let's pop up on the screen some of kimberley fox's policies, she is the state's attorney. she dropped charges in the just sigjussie smollett case. a 13% decrease in felony guilty

outcomes, 26% decline in guilty verdicts and 54% increase in cases dropped and dismissed since 2017. we've seen similar patterns in cities throughout the country. how concerned are you by this push left by so many prosecutors who represent the interest of the american people? they are the voice of the american people in that courtroom. >> well, the disconnect now between law enforcement who is being asked to investigate and secure cities and to be able to provide relief from a lot of the crime that is rising in areas of the country and the prosecutors who have to bring those cases is a scary thought and it should be one that a lot of resources and effort is put into. you think about prosecutor in portland, for example, who announces that he's only willing to take less than 10% of the cases that are being referred to

him. that's a disconnect in the system that is not going to function to secure a community and to let people feel like they're going to be safe. and i think the police officers are the ones right now that are perhaps most confused by what's going on. we need people that are going to be willing to implement reforms but they have to be thoughtful, they have to be data driven and can't be a knee jerk reaction from politics. todd: it's a fascinating and concerning dynamic we are seeing in so many of our american cities. brett, thank you very much. jillian, over to you. >> thank you. jillian: the biden/harris ticket raising some eyebrows. >> she was bussed to school every day and that little girl was me. >> that's a mischaracterization of my position across the board. i did not praise racists. jillian: trump 2020 senior advisor questions the pick, he joins us live, next. ♪

jillian: good morning. welcome back. from rivals to running mates, kamala harris now playing nice as joe biden's vp pick, despite their checkered past. >> there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bussed to school every day. and that little girl was me. >> that's a mischaracterization of my opinion across the board. i did not praise racists. jillian: what does the stark contrast from past to present say about the race to come? black voices for trump 2020 at 0 advisory board member paris denard joins me to react. she went pretty hard on him

during the debates. what do you think of the turnaround to be all of a sudden running mates. >> it's evident that kamala harris is an opportuneist and a phony who has no interest in standing for what she truly believes in but is more interested in being the vice president, just for the sake of being the vice president. there's no doubt that she had issues with joe biden's bigot t'ry,the comment she made about bussing was a continuation from a hearing in the '70s where he said he didn't want bussing and integration because he feared for his children growing up in a racial jungle. i don't know what he meant by racial jungle but i tell you it's not a complemen complimente black community, especially those in delaware. senator harris has to be wedded to joe biden's bigoted past and present, combined with her record, and the impact it had on

the black community. jillian: let's take a listen to what she those say on this announcement. it reads, joe biden can unify the american people because he spent his life fighting for us and as president he' he'll builn american that will live up to our ideals. i will do what it takes to make him our commander in chief. i'm curious if you think she will help pull in more of the black votes. >> i don't think senator harris is going to get joe biden over the threshold to win the election with the black vote. look, she couldn't even get enough black people to vote for her in the primaries to become president of the united states. this historic moment in their eyes could have been the other way around. she could have been picking the vice presidential candidate for her own campaign, meaning joe biden. instead, black communities and others rejected her in the democratic primary. with her past, locking up the

black people, for her past of not fighting for the black community, being more of an of opportuneist than an actual record, her record, joe biden's record doesn't compare to the positive thinks president trump and vice president pence have been doing for the past four years. jillian: thank you for sharing your opinion on that. todd: time now is 26 minutes after the hour. check this out. lightning striking the star wars ride at disney. wow. and it's all caught on camera. plus, a teacher worried about conservative parents listening in on virtual classes. is this proof of a liberal bias in the classroom? rachel campus duffy says this is a wake-up call for parents out there. she joins us next. ♪

todd: welcome back. joe biden and kamala harris will

make their first appearance as running mates today. jillian: peter doocy shows us how the two went from opponents to allies. >> reporter: the challenges of vetting and rolling out a running mate during a global pandemic are on display in a new photo that shows biden and kamala harris talking to each other on a zoom call. thebiden says he has long felt connected to her through his late son, with this. quote, i first met kamala through my son beau. i thought about that as i made this decision. there's no one's opinion i value more than beaus. i am proud to have kamala standing with me on this campaign. the trump campaign is out with this. quote, not long ago kamala harris called joe biden a racist and asked for an apology she never received. clearly, phony kamala will abandon her morals and try to bury her record as a prosecutor in order to appease the

anti-mri'anti-police extremeist. she is the only black woman, the only south asian american woman to be on a major party ticket and is set to debate mike pence this fall. when harris was still a biden rival her campaign launch in oakland drew one of the largest crowds of anybody all year. and out of the two dozen democrats who debated this cycle, she created if most viral moment, surprising biden with a challenge to his record on bussing. months later, she was telling reporters to leave joe alone and this day may come as a surprise to some voters because when she was asked about a report that some day maybe she would be biden's running mate, she turned the tables. >> i think that joe biden would be a great running mate as vice president, he's proven that he knows how to do the job. >> reporter: it's not harris/biden, it's biden/harris.

their first evidence event will be right here in wilmington. jillian and todd. jillian: reacting to the announcement, president trump doubled down on harris and her left leaning views. todd: here's what he said to sean hannity. >> she wants to raise taxes. she wants to get rid of your second amendment. no guns for protection, no nothing. she is a very strong -- she is very strong on the second amendment, getting rid of it and very bad for the military. she wants to cut the military. she wants to cut spending for the military and the vets and, you know, i don't quite get the choice but we'll have it out. todd: how does the november rate look now that a huge piece of the puzzle is complete? jillian: fox news contributor, rachel campus duffy, joins us live to react. good morning, good to see you. >> good to see you. good morning. jillian: when the news came out yesterday, rachel, i'm sure you guys like many people, you kind

of flip the channels to hear everyone's take on this and to hear didn't view points. something i kept hearing pop up on other channels was she has a lot of popularity amongst women in the suburbs, amongst women in the suburbs, mothers in the suburbs. rachel, you're a mom. what's your opinion as far as that is concerned? >> i definitely think suburban moms are part of that small sliver of americans that are on the fence, that the democrats need to win over. i don't think she's a slam-dunk like many of us thought if he picked michelle obama, that would have really energized them. i think she's appealing in that she's a woman, in that she's highly educated but i don't think she necessarily energizing them. she doesn't appeal to the rest of the sliver, the conservative you blue collar democrats, catholics or hispanics. kamala harris is ranked if not

the number one, the number two most left wing politician in the democrat party, so she supports the green new deal. she is highly aggressively anti-catholic and anti-life. so on important issues to hispanics and to catholics, she won't win them over. actually, she'll energize pro life forces against her. i think it was of the group that he had to pick from, probably the best choice. but not the best choice. and that's why i think you really shouldn't limit yourself by saying i can only pick a black woman or i can only pick a woman. because i think you limit yourself to not picking necessarily the best person. i mean, we know that democrats don't need to win california. todd: there's been a lot of talk about her flip-flopping on a number of issues, one of them of course being criminal justice reform. there's also the flip-flopping on the biden accusers. take a listen. >> i believe them and i respect

them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it. >> do you believe that the vice president should -- [ indiscernible ] >> i wouldn't tell him what to do. he has been a life-long fighter, he has fight for women and women's equality. todd: you haven't heard a lot about the biden accusers recently. do you think this becomes an issue specifically when it comes to her flip-flopping on that issue over the course of the last few months, now that she is the vice presidential nominee? >> i think, sadly, the le electorate is very -- we're used to the flip-flopping, especially from someone like kamala who described sort of -- very often as transactional. i don't think that's going to be a big deal. i think what you mentioned before might be, which is criminal justice reform. here we have the first black woman running for the vice presidential position and actually it's donald trump who pushed criminal justice reform

over the line and really can take credit for that. so he'll be able to tout that with black people, with the black community, and already i'm seeing t-shirts online that say kamala harris is a cop. and so the african-american community i think is going to take a close look at her record as a prosecutor and some of the things she did that are frankly quite corrupt. jillian: let's talk about this for a second. there is a school, a public school teacher in philadelphia who worries about conservative parents listening in on virtual classes. let's pull up this quote. it reads, this fall virtual class discussion will have many potential spectators, parents, siblings, et cetera in the same room. i'm most intrigued that the damage helicopter and snowplow parents can do, about gender and sexuality. conservative parents are my chief concern. what do you say to that, rachel? >> listen, one of the silver

linings of this pandemic will be that so many schools are not going to be in session and are going to be showing these classes live through zoom or even just printing the curriculum out so that the kids can follow along and so parents going to have a birds's eye view of being able to listen in on the indoctrination that's happening. i had a firsthand experience with this, when we had to do home schooling. i saw my own kid in a public school in a small town in the midwest was being -- the curriculum included communist propaganda videos with no discussion and no counter point of view. even i who talk a lot as you both know about indock cry nation -- indoctrination, even i was shocked by this. i encourage parents of all political points of view to listen in. we ought to hear what's being

taught to your kids. if you're going to pick a subject, history and literature, these are two areas of studies that i believe the bulk of the marxist indoctrination is happening, believe me, it really is happening in our schools. todd: we always appreciate your insight on these issues. thank you so much. >> thank you both. jillian: you too. now to this. at least two people are dead after a powerful storm devastates the midwest. todd: look at that. an iowa trooper recording wind speeds topping 90 miles per hour. hundreds of thousands still without power in the aftermath of the rare storm. jillian: winds flipped over several tractor-trailers in cedar rapids. meteorologist adam klotz joins us live with what we can expect today. >> good morning, guys. probably not a big storm like that again today but we're still tracking at least a possibility for some severe weather. let's dive into it.

this what is we're looking at as of right now. i run you back up into the upper plains, from nebraska, to north dakota, there's a slight risk of seeing severe weather once again today. when you see winds up to 60 miles an hour, heavy rain, possibly hail and isolated tornadoes still possible with this system, i don't think it will be as widespread as we saw the other day, being driven by warm temperatures, particularly in the middle of the country, getting up to the upper 90s, that could fuel storms. tropical depression 11 could become tropical storm josephine, it's the only storm out there right now, very small chance of this making it back to the states. so we're all clear as we continue through the week. jillian: thank you. todd: we can't have another storm in connecticut. check this out. a close call for walt disney world guests in florida this week. jillian: look at that. a lightning bolt striking the star wars galaxy's edge ride,

compete this fall, alabama, clemson, louisiana state may still play. there is hope. remember, jack made this point earlier, these college football programs fund so many other sports within the colleges. so there's a huge trickle down effect. jillian: absolutely. thank you very much. todd: time now, 45 minutes after the hour. up next, rudy giuliani joins us live on "fox & friends first." jillian: before that, we're going to check in with brian brn kilmeade to see what's coming up. >> chad wolf, he is offering to help seattle and chicago. they said no, h we've got this. if you see the video, they don't have it. chad wolf joins us live. jason chaffetz on the pick of kamala harris as the number two, what is she like in congress, what will she be like as a vp and running mate. it will be exciting. ben shapiro will be here live,

jillian: good morning. as we take a closer look at the democrat's candidate for vice president, you may remember senator kamala harris once suggested disbarring the president's attorney, rudy giuliani. todd: so what does he think now that she has gotten the nod. former nyc mayor joins us you now. mr. mayor, thank you so much for being here with us. your reaction to this choice? >> thank you. my reaction is that -- well, you know i once was a prosecutor of a lot more distinction than she was as united states attorney in the southern district of new york. i probably know that job better than i know any. kamala harris is the worst nightmare as a prosecutor. she was in some cases overly lenient, in other cases ridiculously strict and in some cases looked like completely

corrupt. i would say her record as a prosecutor is an embarrassment. let's go on the heavy side where she wanted to impress the police. she prosecuted 1500 marijuana cases. i was u.s. attorney for 13 years. i never prosecuted a marijuana user case. she is one of the reasons president trump had to pass the crime reform act, the prison reform act because she flooded the prisons with mass incarceration. the biggest achievement, the only achievement joe biden had in government was passing the 1994 crime act. it took president trump to have to fix that. he couldn't fix it. obama couldn't fix it. president trump had to let all of the african-americans and some others that were put in jail for ridiculous periods of time for just having marijuana. she put them there. jillian: the point you're

making about marijuana convictions, the point you're making, you're recall, going back to 2019 tulsi gabbard called her out on this during the debate. >> she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and laughed about it. when were you in a position to make a difference and impact in these people's lives, you did not. jillian: people still have a lot of questions about that time when she was a prosecutor. that was then. you know, and when you look at the world we're in right now, take new york city, for example, you know very well what's being going on in new york city. we have the bail reform laws. it's a different new york city than it used to be. a lot of times people say new york city sets an example for the rest of the country. my question to you, what does a biden/harris administration look like in terms of fighting crime on the streets of the city. >> horrible. he's the panderer in chief and she's number two. they never stand for anything

for more than two days. she put all those marijuana people in jail. she let a career criminal go who committed murder after she let him go. she didn't bring cases against prominent judges and politicians in san francisco because she was afraid to do it. she was such a lousy da the homicide rate went up in san francisco while she was da. that alone should disqualify her. any da that has crime rates go up while you're da should look for another job, not be in public office. she changed her position on everything. now, i don't know what she's going to be. is she going to be the moderate vice presidential candidate or is she going to be for the green new deal which will bankrupt us and have airplanes gone. on the other hand, is she going to be the moderate that some people claim she is? what i see is a completely spineless, completely shifting, one position, one day, another

position another day, like her boss, the guy who was against abortion all his life and just changed his mind two months ago. and he's a catholic, right. so -- it's going to be a field day i think for a president who tells the truth. if you dislike donald trump, one thing you have to say, unless you're completely warped, is he tells it like it is. he has a press conference a day. biden hasn't had a press conference, he hides in his basement. he needed a piece of of paper to talk to her. and your sister -- not sister station, your competitor station, the corrupt msnbc cut it out, cut the picture out. he was reading. he can't remember. todd: i want to get your thoughts on another topic here. there's a new op-ed out there arguing today's mayors are way too weak and because of that it is destroying american cities. look, this is pretty personal to knee, mr. giuliani. in fourth grade, 1987, i wrote

an essay that said my biggest fear was being dragged to new york city and then you came in in the mid- '90s and cleaned up the city. hear me out on this. are my kids going to be scared to come to new york city? new york city and other great cities like it in our country if this continues? >> you know, i can't go to dinner now without having 50 people come up to me and tell me to either run again or find someone that can run, democrat and republican. in my city, no one likes -- this isn't just new york city. i really have to emphasize this. we've got a chance to change it. watch. it's happening mostly and worst of all in democrat cities. please note that every da, you just had the record up of the da in chicago, she was appointed by george soros. so was the one in san francisco that she had there after her. he got thrown out of office. the one that's bringing that silly case in st. louis about the people who were defending

themselves against people who might kill them, she's a george soros funded da. what's george soros funding 20 da races in the last few years? he's doing it to undercut our system of justice. like the black lives matter movement and like the democrats have signed onto, they want to create chaos so we'll become socialists. it's in their manual. todd: it's certainly the argument, mr. mayor. >> joe can't read but somebody could read it to them. todd: that's the argument, mr. mayor. >> they're not going to change the cities. jillian: if people want to hear more, you can catch one the mayor's podcast. >> they should elect a republican mayor. jillian: rudy giuliani, common sense. >> elect an republican mayor like me. jillian: thank you for joining us, sir. we appreciate it. we're out of time. we'll be right back.

♪ >> it is now official. california liberal senator kamala harris has been selected as joe biden's running mate. >> almost everything she does is so calculated and fake. i don't think this is a pick that's going to go over well in the long term. >> a lot of people think it's a dangerous choice. she want to raise taxes. she wants to get rid of your second amendment. >> an organizer of the black lives matter movement in chicago says the looting is a form of reparations. >> i don't care. if somebody decides to loot a gucci's or a macy's.
