3:00 am
very well said. jillian: thanks, carley. don't forget to set your dvr every morning so you never miss a minute of "fox & friends first." todd: with that a very fun show and informative show, jillly meally do you agree. jillian: i agreed to pod with that "fox & friends" starts right now. bye-bye. >> the case against donald trump and mike pence is open and shut. >> she is ready to do this job on day one. the case has never been clear. the stakes in this election has never been higher. >> kamala harris comes from the middle of the road moderate ring of the democratic party. >> the government watchdog website still ranked harris as the most liberal senator in 2019. >> the white house and democrats are still nowhere near a deal. >> payroll tax, what he is doing is undermining social security. >> this coming evidently agreement on the payroll tax cut, this is necessary because our economy and our people need this boost.
3:01 am
>> doctors, teachers and parents express concerns over long-term virtual learning. >> schools not only provide the academic for students with special needs and much needed therapy and services. >> you don't have to worry about bears when you are with this family or maybe you do. >> peanut butter and jelly sand witch. ♪ that's what i like about you. ♪ that's what i like but. that's what i like about you. brian: all right. welcome, everybody. it's going to be a big show. according to reports three hours it. might go longer especially if ainsley and steve have anything to say. steve: we have a lot of coffee yet. brian: somewhere. steve: right here. brian: i haven't seen it. two and a half hours get the job numbers and also see the vice president is going to be seeming like kind of normal. is he going to iowa to talk to
3:02 am
farmers launch a new group to talk about farmers and ranchers so it seems like everything is getting a little bit normal because now we have a completed ticket for the democrats he is going to the iowa state fairgrounds to talk to ranchers and farmers. there obviously dnc it's going to be virtual. the president is going to visit four battle ground states. steve: all states joe biden would like to win, right? well, because the gloves are off. and yesterday joe biden, kamala harris slammed president trump in their first event as running mates. as you can see there they are screen left in a high school gym wearing black face masks socially distanced. ainsley: screen right you see the current president and he gives it right back, brian. brian: just like within a half hour, griff jenkins is in washington with a war of words. griff, that was the assignment we gave you. did you complete it. >> i did.
3:03 am
over dinner last night. fantastic. finally felt like a presidential election. brian, ainsley, steve, good morning. they all came out swinging in dueling press conferences. first joe biden introducing newly minted running mate in wilmington delaware where both went on the attack hammering the president on the pandemic and economy calling it the worst jobs record of any president. then the prosecutor in harris came out. >> america is crying out for leadership. yet, we have a president who cares more about himself than the people who elected him. and, let me tell you, somebody who has presented my fair share of arguments in court, the case against donald trump and mike pence is open and shut. >> after the big event neither took questions from the press gathered in the gym. now, minutes later, at the white house, the president offered a very different take on the economy touting strong stock market numbers, saying it
3:04 am
signals a v shaped recovery. and true to his nature returned the punches from harris. >> there was nobody more insulting to biden than she was. she said horrible things about him, including accusations made about him by a woman where she, i guess, believed the woman and now all of a sudden she is running to be vice president saying how wonderful he is. >> so it appears from yesterday that the next 82 days are going to be a slug fest. one thing i wanted to point out finally and that is about yesterday's rollout. look at the cover of the "new york times" in 2016. four years ago when trump tapped mike pence you see just a small picture of pence. below the fold in the quote man in the news feature the headline read unbending conservative. well, let me show you yesterday's cover in case you missed it. it is a glaring photo a beautiful photo of kamala harris
3:05 am
all three columns are about her and, of course, she did make history undeniably but critics will charge that, perhaps, the coverage four years ago to yesterday was unfair. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: not fair and balanced? shocking. all right, griff, thank you very much. set the table for us. we understand in the final nine days before mr. biden selected kamala harris, he interviewed 11 women and they were asked a number of questions that included what do you think the president's nickname for you will be that was one of the questions i doubt she thought it would be phoney, nonetheless that's what the president has tagged her with. officials say the reason she did get the job her policy knowledge and her background as a prosecutor to prosecutor the case against donald trump however, when you forget about the aggressive tone with that, she is a moderate, at least
3:06 am
that's what you see on the mainstream media, even though that defies her record. first, let's watch last night's tv. >> kamala harris comes from the middle of the road moderate ring of the democratic party. not the first choice of progressives. >> cultivating a moderate political reputation and inviting criticism from some liberals that she was insufficiently progressive on criminal justice i. >> harris is not a radical. she is a -- she is a centrist and a moderate. >> trump campaign has been chomping at the bit for someone to attack, something to stick they seem to have only to this attempt to tie a decidedly moderate ticket to the radical left. steve: okay. so joe biden is a centrist and now we are learning more about kamala harris. she is a moderate, right? well, that's what they said on tv but that simply is not true. the watchdog gov track dot us ranks all 100 senators.
3:07 am
guess what? she is the most liberal of all-american senators. she is more liberal than bernie sanders. she is the least bipartisan senator of 471 bills she co-sponsored only 15 of the bills had another legislator who was not a democrat. so, brian, as you take a look at her going forward, if you are looking for somebody who will work with the other side, doesn't look like her record would support that. brian: i mean, in america right now, her record as a prosecutor going the maximum charges for marijuana possession, putting parents in jail whose kids don't go to school. wow, she is law and order. suddenly i guess she realized america is changing the view on that. she has went way over to the left. she did it with her voting record when she became senator. and she did it when she became a candidate. can we just say this for the record? she was a terrible candidate. she had no support. hollywood loved her. the money poured in. but her campaign was at each
3:08 am
other's throats. and it collapsed before a single primary. no one seems to bring that up. george bush 41 had a successful run and really gave ronald reagan a scare when he named number two after criticizing reagan when they were both candidates. that is not case right now. so, kamala harris, in fact, she replaced barbara boxer. barbara boxer says by the way the former attorney general should apologize for her tough law and order stance when she was attorney general if she plans on moving forward on this ticket. here is kamala harris, the moderate supporting things called extreme liberal issues. >> i strongly believe we need to have medicare for all. within that system. >> do you think that's socialist or not, medicare for all. >> no. no. it's about providing healthcare to all people. >> mention that and resolution that i supported and i support the goal. have to figure out a way to get
3:09 am
there. >> assault weapons, and do you support a mandatory buy back. >> i think it's a good idea, yeah. we have to work out the details. there are a lot of details in it. i do. we have to take those things off the street. >> raise your hand if you think it should be a civil offense rather than a crime to cross the border without documentation? can we keep the hands up so we can see them? brian: that was after the first debate they realized democrats this is a disaster, other question they came down was do you believe that illegals should get healthcare and they all put their hands up again, ainsley. this is a woman that jogged way to the left. why is it and i can't answer this question that the media is pushing her to be portrayed as a moderate. if they believe and write all the time that these progressive causes are right, why is it so important for this liberal candidate to be portrayed as in the middle? it doesn't make any sense.
3:10 am
ainsley: it's a good question, brian. let's talk about her record. you all have to go to the polls on november 3rd and tough make a decision on their voting records and what they supported in the past. that will change the country in one direction or another. she has co-sponsored the green new deal. she is supporting banning all tracking. she supports the ban on plastic straws. steve: wait, plastic straws? that's too far. ainsley: get rid of private health insurance. she wants to raise your tax. she praised l.a.'s mayor for slashing the lapd's budgets by $150 million. she supports sanctuary cities. she wants to stop the construction on the border wall and even compared immigration and customs enforcement, ice, to the kkk. now, mike pence, who is the vice president, running against her, he said on hannity's show last night that the democratic party has been taken over by the radical left. listen to this. >> joe biden's decision to add
3:11 am
kamala harris to the ticket confirms everything president trump and i have been saying and that is that joe biden and the democratic party have been overtaken about the radical left. kamala harris, like joe biden, supports higher taxes, socialized medicine, open borders, abortion on demand. and where joe biden said he would be willing to cut funding to police she said recently that she thought that we should reimagine the police in this country. and i just have to tell you, you know, i like the matchup. ainsley: even supported candidates who believe and were pushing that abortions can happen at the very end of your pregnancy. steve: so, what we have shown you is while a lookout of people refer to her as a moderate. her record would suggest that that simply is not the case. but then again, she is a politician and sometimes politicians say one thing one time and something else later when it's politically beneficial to them.
3:12 am
for instance, nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house. she has been, over the last week or so, deriding the administration for not being able to get congress together to do their job and pass a coronavirus relief bill. so, instead, the president of the united states wrote an executive order essentially that cut the payroll tax. she hates that. but, in 2012 when barack obama did exactly the same thing, she called it a victory for americans. so we will get into the way back machine. first you will see nancy pelosi in the past week talking about how bad donald trump is doing this. but then back in 2012, barack obama a genius. watch. >> when he says he is going to do the payroll tax, what he's doing is undermining social security and medicare. so these are allusions. >> this is necessary because our economy and our people need this
3:13 am
boost. for individual families, 160 million american families this will be a boost. >> do you worry though that this does take money out of the social security trust fund and that it may never fully be refunded, repaid? >> no. no, i don't worry about that. steve: okay. so she was for it, brian, before she was against it. brian: yeah. we will talk more about that rescue package. they did speak -- both sides did speak yesterday, no progress. never know what is going to happen today. meanwhile when you talk about sometimes sports can be inspirational. you remember after 9/11, you remember the national anthem when the giants ended up beating the bills in the super bowl with whitney houston. and now we have a time with the pandemic and america's number one sport, american football is in training camp and wants to gets started. jerry jones is the owner of america's team dallas cowboys. like it or not cowboy haters, it
3:14 am
is true. he talked about his players inspiring others by working through the pandemic. living with it instead of waiting for it to leave, have a vaccine or therapeutic. he says we are going to play and play in front of fans. >> >> the dallas cowboys plan on playing all of ourn front of our fans. we will have our challenges. the people that will volition. just as the players that are on this field out here for the cowboys are here because they have chosen to be here. our fans will be in the stadium because they have chosen to be there. i think it's important in the country, the nfl can be exciting -- when i say exciting, it can be an inspirational part of you who we address covid, not only the remainder of this year but as we go into 2021. brian: they just think it's
3:15 am
important that we have to live with it. whether it's going back to school, back to work. going to a stadium. many decisions we can make ourselves. so give us the opportunity to do it. and that's, i think, what jerry jones was saying there. ainsley: that's a good point. can you make a decision if you want to buy a ticket and go to the game. he says he wants to do it safely and responsibly. let us about the light to help our country get through the coronavirus. he also talked about the national anthem issue. and he said there is grace. he has been an advocate of standing for the national anthem. even though that one time he did kneel down with the players. he said he wants to hear all sides of the issue and he wants to have grace to see all sides. brian: can i add the nfl is not going to play with the players on the field they are using the excuse it's coronavirus, keep everyone apart. let's just play. i think they are going to skirt over it this year. steve: the thing about jerry jones tat aren at&t arena as. people can social distancing.
3:16 am
side doors and provides the kind of ventilation you need. the question is whether or not they would require masks. ainsley: seats 100,000 people in that stadium. steve: i think people would feel more comfortable if they knew everyone was wearing mask. it all comes down to safety. let's see if they play football with fans in stadium. somebody who is for that is jillian mele who joins us right now, right? jillian: i would love to go to a game. let's see. the president releasing brand new guidelines on the reopening of schools making his position clear it can be safe to open if you follow these recommendations. the president hearing from teachers, parents and doctors at the white house. >> one thing we have learned during this horror show of the china plague is that virtual is not as good as being there. >> meanwhile cdc director robert redfield sending this warning to americans. >> i keep telling people i'm not asking some of america to do it. we all have got to do it.
3:17 am
one of these interventions 95, 96, 97, 98, 99% if it's going to work. jillian: redfield if americans are not vigilant this fall could be worse from a public health standpoint the u.s. has ever faced. the fbi is agent is the shooting of a military helicopter injuring one crew member aboard. authorities say the air force helicopter was on a crew teen training mission when it was shot from the ground over middleburg, virginia. despite a bullet hitting the aircraft, it landed safely at the regional airport. the injured crew member is expected to be okay. no arrests have been made. we will keep you updated. meantime evacuations are underway as a fast moving wildfire erupts in los angeles county overnight. the lake fire burning more than 10,000 acres in just hours. a wall of fire turning the sky red. and then take a look at this. a home completely engulfed in just 20 minutes. high heated and strong winds making it tough for firefighters to battle those flames. a will heend is added to the

>> federal agents arrive in oregon to clear out hundreds of protesters, ice says they were blocking suspects carrying suspects of accused of violent criminal history. here is retired ice director tom homan. tom, thanks goodness we were there to back up what ice was doing. but why did it come to this? >> you know, it's really disgusting. you would think the community would be grateful that ice is taking public safety threats off their streets. so ice is helping protect that community but, look, the state of washington, the state of oregon has been taken over by the progressive left. and for the police department to stand there and do nothing. what really irritates me is district attorney of that county made a statement he has never been so proud of that community and disgusted with the federal government. he should resign immediately because that is not what he is supposed to be about. is he supposed to be about law enforcement protecting the community. enforcing the law and
3:24 am
prosecuting criminals that's what ice is doing in his county. he should be thanking them and not gusted with. they. >> his name is john hummel he said quote i was on the scene of the standoff with ice and impressed with the passion shown to our community. criminals blocking a bus for criminals? he said they have tried to broker some type of resolution with dhs to no avail. >> he should resign today. it is disgusting. he is in direct conflict of his duties as a district attorney to, number one, protect his community. number two, protect law enforcement and the rule of law. brian: right. but we're in an era where illegal immigrants have the same rights as legal immigrants and in an era where no one pays the price for criminal activity, hence look what happened in portland and chicago. many people outraged we will see if they show up at the ballot box. let's talk about kamala harris and this moment i know you will never forget when you have then
3:25 am
acting director of border patrol talking to -- testifying on capitol hill about our policy at the border. listen to where the senator from california takes this conversation. >> the plan was that what we would call today a domestic terrorist group. >> are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ice is being used to enforce the laws? are you atblar is a perception. >> i see no. >> are you aware there is a perception. >> put ice in the same category as the kkk. >> and just to give total context for that he is asked to group, mr. vitiello, acting director of ice and talk about our border policy. she says do you know what the clan is. >> yes. >> do you know what they did. >> yes. >> now, how do you disseminate between what the clan does and did and what ice is doing? can you believe that? one federal law enforcement agency compared to a domestic terrorist group?
3:26 am
>> you know, i wish i would have been there for that it. i wish she would have asked me that question. men and women of ice are american patriots. they are enforcing laws that congress enacted, her, a member of congress. ice isn't making this up. nine out of ten people ice arrests are public safety stlets. pending conviction or pending criminal charges. enforcing the law protecting this country. to say compare them to the kkk is ridiculous. that, itself, is a racist statement made by kamala harris. brian: hey, it worked out for her. she is thought running mate of joe biden who are 80 days to find out if she is the next vice president of the united states. crazy either law enforcement or anti-law enforcement that's what it's coming down. to say tom, thanks for keeping your cool. i appreciate it. not easy. >> you got it. brian: straight ahead, president trump discussing reopening schools at the white house. one mom talking about the impact on children with special needs. >> schools not only provide the academics for students with

we didn't even know that she had covid, to a week later, and her passing. the president made a huge mistake in downplaying this virus. there was a lack of leadership, a lack of responsibility, and a lack of resources. i felt like our elderly have not been a priority for this administration, that they don't matter. and, i feel like my grandmother didn't matter. last time i saw my grandmother, we weren't going to be allowed in the hospital. we asked if we could video chat her, and everyone could say a little something. we gathered as a family and we prayed. but the fact that she was alone, it just breaks my heart. did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance ta-da! so you only pay for what you need? i should get a quote. do it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

3:31 am
teachers about the impact virtual learning has on special needs students. >> it was like falling off an early intervention cliff. schools not only provide the academics of students with special needs but also provided some much needed therapies and services. the structure and routine of school day is so critical for this population of students. it simply cannot be replicated in a virtual platform. ainsley: this hits home for fox news contributor rachel campos-duffy her beautiful daughter valentina was born with special needs and has her therapies pushed back due to the pandemic and rachel joins us now with more. good morning, rachel. >> good morning. and thanks for having me on such an important topic. ainsley: vul. tell us how it is affecting your family. >> so, our baby is very little. she had to wait to start therapy physical she kind of healed from her heart surgery. she is ready to start. but the services aren't available in the way that she needs right now because of the
3:32 am
pandemic and this is something that parents of special needs kids are facing across the country. children with even much greater needs physical and cognitive needs. what's happened is basically as you saw in the claim of the bulk of the services that children receive and there is 7 million american students with special needs and disabilities here in america. they receive the bulk of those services at schools and schools are shut down. services are shut down. and it seems that really only those who have money and resources who can sometimes bring those services in to the home can access them. but, even then, it's not the full range that kids need. and what we find is that special needs children need much more consistency. they need to have their games reinforced daily. and so there is a huge regression, special needs kids are going backwards. they are regressing. i posted richard engel's really
3:33 am
excellent essay if anyone wants to see it about his child's struggles. he has -- his child has rhett syndrome. has been seeing a lot of decline. i posted on my facebook page and the response was overwhelming, ainsley. so many parents have across the country have been reaching out to me saying, please, we feel like our children have been an after thought in this discussion. we need governors and teacher's unions and everybody to put these children who are the most vulnerable among he is first in this discussion. ainsley: so what's the solution? >> the solution is to open up. what parents are saying to me, what i can tell you from my own experience is that the danger of my -- of our children contracting covid versus the danger of not getting these therapies and regressing and losing so many of th gains that they have made sometimes over years is far worse. and so, there needs to be exceptions and we need to just overall think about opening up schools and putting things in
3:34 am
balance. what are the dangers versus what we're losing when we close down schools? the social interaction. the routines, the their piss that have become like another family member to so many of these children. these are the things we need to think about in this discuss. instead i think a lot of the decisions that have been made have had a very political nature to them instead of a scientific and in this case medical and special needs cases not being considered fully. ainsley: you said you are worried about regression and children not being up to speed. give me some examples of what kinds of things can happen to our children if we aren't giving them the therapies that they need. >> you know. in the case of down syndrome. that social interaction some down syndrome children are mainstreamed into the school and it is life breathing for them. it's everything to. they for other special needs children, it's physical. so, some of the things that they are experiencing muscle
3:35 am
deterioration, and regression in those regards, that's very, very serious. and, again, people can go to my facebook page where parents are weighing in on all the different things i have been learning so much from reading my own facebook page of what people are going through and all the different things that are being impacted and what's interesting is those with resources, those who are wealthy are able to mitigate this more. it's the middle class, the poor, the working class who are suffering the most. that's really sad. ainsley: i know that breaks our hearts. these children who are getting it break mice heart for them, too. we have to figure out how to do it safely so our kids don't come home and infect grandparents and their parents. thanks so much for being with us, rachel. >> thank you, ainsley. steve: yosteve. ainsley: president trump says democrats are afraid to call out antifa. >> in my book it's virtually part of their campaign. antifa, the democrats act like, gee, i don't know exactly what that is.

>> should they publicly denounce antifa as a domestic terrorist organization? >> they should. i think they are afraid to.
3:41 am
it's in my book it's virtually a part of their campaign, antifa, the democrats act like, gee. i don't know exactly what that is take a look at portland. take a look at any place you want to take a look at. they are all over the place. >> they're all over the place. let's bring in tammy bruce, fox news tributer at fox nation and the president of the independent women's voice. tammy, i'm sure you saw the president yesterday make those comments about antifa. for a little while, yesterday, pranksters redirected, if you went to antifa.com, it would take you to the joe biden website. and then have you got the president saying he should denounce him. but he has not so far. why not? >> that's a good question. we heard the attorney general speak. is he very concerned as everyone should be that democrats have not condemned. this nancy pelosi when asked about the general violence said effectively people are going to do what they are going to do.
3:42 am
when you have got a major american party, a woman in her case who i think is third in line for the presidency who is not naturally denouncing extraordinary violence against law enforcement, against each other, against regular citizens. a story in the "new york times" about a week ago about the horror of what was going on in that chop zone in seattle. you know, we have seen this. we see it around the world. this is not a local dynamic. there is a reason why they have been designated a terrorist group. so you have got an operating terrorist group in american cities around the democratic party leading democrats the democratic nominee for president kamala harris should be asked. this is a no-brainer. this is not -- you know, a strange thing to wonder about. but, yet, the democrat -- the president is genuinely sounds perplexed as all of us are. why aren't they doing it? and is it because they are
3:43 am
afraid? and why would they be afraid? it's leadership, it's the very lowest rung of leadership to be able to say you are against violence and you want safety for your communities. >> when you see a carpool up and they pop the trunk and in come a supply of bats. when you see pal letting of bricks being dropped off. when you see groups with roads in their ears where they're communicating form of defense against police law enforcement. and then you come to the conclusion that they have swamped the racial justice element sings the george floyd death and put their socialists anti-american anarchist principles first. this is an easy one for harris and biden and they're refusing to take the layup. let's talk about where this race is right now. 5:38 which was really defamed after the 2016 election got another conclusion. they used their delicate mask to say joe biden has 71% chance of victory november 3rd. does that sound familiar? >> it does.

it's groundhog day again. it's exactly the percentage that they declared hillary was going to win by. brian: oops. >> democrats look at that and get nervous. they clearly have learned nothing. if there was any messaging from 2016 it's this predictive model we saw saw, of course, the failure with the coronavirus. predicted models and the experts using their numbers which completely discount the human condition and what is going on with the individual come up with -- in very often scientists see and find what they want to see and find. we know kato poll just recently found that 62% of americans, almost two thirds are afraid to speak openly about their beliefs because of today's climate. the only people, brian, who are comfortable speaking openly are people who identify as strong liberals. so, look, there is a reason why trump was elected. and the sensibility of being afraid of being able to speak up
3:45 am
is even higher now than it was when trump was elected. so, americans see what's going on. they don't like it. and polls are troubling because you are reliant in a large part, crunching the numbers of other polling. and those, we found, you know, they can show you larger trends. can you look at that. but the larger trend here is that polls see what they want to see often. you can't trust them. especially in this kind of unique dynamic where the american people are rebelling, even the democrats, you know, these last primaries have shown democratic establishment is also under threat, incumbents are losing to challengers and none of that is figured into any of these polls. brian: interesting. ainsley: tammy, i know you wrote an op-ed on fox news dom come spent a lot of time on that article. i would love for people to go and read it. tell us about it and why you wrote it. >> well, this is about very important dynamic when we speak about the impact on the american
3:46 am
people. a group of democratic operatives, women, who then created an ad hoc group called we have her back, sent out a memo to media organizations effectively, it's the democratic party and the biden campaign, telling media organizations that they had better be careful in how they cover kamala harris. that anything that is critique that they don't like wil deemed racist or sexist. this is, of course, not that they have to tell legacy media to be good soldiers and toe the line. this is a message to individuals who might think about actually looking seriously speaking honestly about harris' record but, also, this is not -- they say it's about women. you know, if they were worried about women in the arena and there is sexism and there is racism in this country, but the fact of the matter is, is that when they are doing this for her, and with sarah palin as an example who was treated like a
3:47 am
piece of meat on the serengeti and ivanka trump and the first lady, melania trump how they are treated by the media and by the establishment. it's hard to take them seriously. but, they tell me that in this memo, it's a 2 and a half three page memo single space about all the things that you are not allowed to do. things like speaking about a woman's ambition or talking about whether or not women can be good leaders. the fact of the matter is, as we have seen in chicago. lori lightfoot or seattle with jenny durkin or the governor of oregon. sometimes women aren't good leaders. and that this memo, i contend, is the height of sexism. they are arguing that you had better not treat a woman or a woman of color the same as you would someone else because they are infants. they can't handle the heat in the arena. that's the sexism and to become a good leader means we have got to confront it. but, you know, have you got to
3:48 am
give them credit for thinking that the media is going to follow their orders because they certainly think they are going to. steve: well, if folks would like it read your op-ed it's at foxnews.com. tammy, thank you very much have. a good week. >> thank you. steve: president trump says joe biden's policies would destroy suburbia if joe is elected. star parker says there is one plan in particular that will crush the american dream. you want to hear about this because she is next ♪ don't do me like that. ♪ don't do it like that ♪

steve: president trump has warned suburban voters that a biden presidency would hurt the housing market with new policies that could lower their property values. >> they ar going to be opening p areas of your neighborhood which they're doing. they want to expand it. they are going to, in my opinion, destroy suburbia. when they go in and change zoning so you have lots of problems where they want to build low income housing, you want something where people can aspire to be there. not something where it gets hurt badly. steve: joining us right now with reaction the founder and president of the center for urban renewal and education and
3:53 am
author of that book necessary noise. star parker. good morning. >> good morning. good morning. steve: so the president says that joe biden would destroy suburbia. i think part of what is he talking about is biden's plan on fair housing and zoning. and joe biden has said this: and then we will get your reaction. as president, biden will enact legislation requiring any state receiving federal dollars through the community development block grants or surface transportation block grants to develop a strategy for inclusionary zoning. i have no idea what that means. that's why we have called you in. explain it. >> it's called a threat. it is one of the reasons that maybe we should start dismantling the relationships that we have with the federal government and do things more locally. look, it is not the federal government's job to divert the fine neighborhoods so people of different income levels can live together. that's what the biden-harris
3:54 am
plan is their housing policy will do exactly what the president said. it will dictate the suburban and rule zoning communities and affect their laws. they will dictate from washington, d.c. they will then impact as a result the local rent and the local housing crisis. they call this eliminating crawl. they do not like the suburbs. they don't like the values. don't forget liberalism is entrenched in big city urban. and they don't like the values of the suburban. so they want to, in the name of environmental justice and removing our carbon footprint they want to control the suburbs. that's what this is about. make no mistake they will come into the suburbs with everything they have done to destroy the rest of the country in our hard hit cities and that will be rewhat is reflected in our communities if they are elected. steve: when biden and harris are talking about the home act. that actually is from cory
3:55 am
booker from the state of new jersey. that's what he has suggested. but, explain, you know, why would they go to the suburbs and how would it impact -- let's say it happens in my neighborhood, what's going to happen to my home price? >> what happens right now, hud controls the marketplace when it comes to how we deal with those that are not able to buy a home or think that they have housing crisis. why we have a federal government involved in housing in the first place is a question we should be asking ourselves. but what has happened as a result they have basically controlled rent and destabilized the market when it comes to the valve housing your local community housing complex. dictated by hud, that's going to destabilize your current prices which are on the marketplace. that's why what people would think but they wouldn't know
3:56 am
that. >> well, no, no, no. there are solutions. that's not fair. this is what the left tries to do well, you don't want us coming to your neighborhood and don't want poor people there actually, if they really wanted to help poor people to get a better life maybe a suburban life. voucherrer rise the whole thing. let the people live anywhere. the government controls where our poor lives through section 8 and through hud. all the programs of hud. that's not fair. this is about control. it's not about whether suburban people want others in their community. steve: i gotcha. star, thank you very much for explaining to us that on this thursday morning. all right. coming up. we have got eric trump and separately bo derek. start your day with secret. secret stops sweat 3x more than ordinary antiperspirants.

>> why is his more important than mine. think we should sue for a billion dollars. >> jerry jones says we are going to play and play in front of fans. >> dallas cowboys plan on playing in front of our fans. the nfl cannen an inspirational part of you who we address covid. ♪ ainsley: that is an appropriate song. good job whoever chose that back there. we saw joe biden and we saw kamala harris announce that they were going to run together yesterday and they were doing that in square and they were social distancing. announced her name she is sitting off to the side and comes up to the podium. it was interesting because there were no cheers. there was no clapping because we can't have audiences right now. steve: we can't. peter doocy was there he said it was sur real because it's unlike anything that we have seen in the past but, nonetheless,
4:02 am
that's where we are today. and that goes to the jerry jones sound bite that we just saw a moment ago where we is the owner of the dallas cowboys, the so-called america's team and he is trying to figure out how to do things. how to get america back to normal. he would like to have the season in front of fans. brian. i'm sure these candidates would love to be in front of fans. the pandemic has changed everything. brian: it has. and one good thing for sure they wanted a crowd. i'm sure donald trump wants crowds. but they got about $46 million raised between when he was announced until after they were done fund raising yesterday. so it was a big day. griff jenkins is live in washington with the details on this new marriage somebody has he had the job four years and that's the trump pence ticket. griff: what we learned is it is going to be a slug fest because both sides came out swinging at dueling events. you can't call them both press
4:03 am
conference because only one of them didn't take any questions. first it was biden introducing his history making running mate senator kamala harris in empty gymnasium in wilmington, delaware. owe both went on the attack hammering the president on the coronavirus and challenging him on the economy. >> donald trump is on track to break another record. on track to leave office as the worst jobs record of any american president in modern history. >> trump is also the reason millions of americans are now unemployed, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground. >> prosecutor on full display. she said the case against trump and pence is open and shut. afterwards neither harris or biden took questions from reporters gathered in the gym. minutes later on your television at the white house you saw the president offering a very different take on the economy.
4:04 am
>> we are rebuilding america's economy that nobody thought possible. incredibly well. stock market is up 300 points. the stock market rebounds signals a v-shaped recovery stronger than our competitors anywhere in the world. >> then when asked about harris by the press, the president punched back calling it a risky pick say nothing one in the primary was more insulting to biden than she was. one thing worth noting about yesterday's rollout, let me show you the cover of the "new york times" four years ago when trump tapped mike pence as his running mate. you saw just a small picture below the fold in the man in the news feature. the headline reading unbinding conservative. well, let me show you yesterday's "new york times." you see above the fold a large glaring photo of senator harris all three columns about the senator, her record and her past, the caption beneath it
4:05 am
says senator harris an establishment friendly democrat. critics would say that's not fair coverage. although harris is certainly history-making in every right. brian, ainsley, steve? ainsley: thanks, griff. the moment it was announced we were reading so many articles about who she is as a person and what her record is like. here are some of the things she has supported. she co-sponsored the green new deal. she wants to ban all fracking. ban all plastic straws. get rid of private health insurance. wants to raise your taxes. praised l.a.'s mayor for slashing lapd's budget by $150 million. she supports sanctuary cities. she wants to stop the con destruction on the border wall. and she wants all of the candidates you saw in the primary raise their hands. they want taxpayers, legal citizens to pay for the healthcare of illegal citizens. steve: some campaign officials spoke to the "wall street journal" yesterday why she wound up getting the job over the other, i believe in the last nine days, joe biden personally
4:06 am
interviewed 11 candidates. and one of the things about her was the fact that she, they felt that she had great policy knowledge and because she was a prosecutor, she could very effectively challenge donald trump. and yesterday she tore into trump for running the economy into the ground. we know, however, the economy was going great in the covid pandemic struck the entire planet. it's not as if donald trump invented the pandemic. it's something they have got to deal with. they have finally figured out a more effective response federally than in the very beginning. nonetheless, when you look at the coverage of kamala and, you know, to the point of griff with the newspaper the growing coverage the inches of kamala on the cover. there are different standards whether the person is a liberal or a conservative that is what
4:07 am
tammy bruce told us 20 minutes ago on this show. >> this message to individuals who might actually be looking seriously. speaking honestly about harris' record. they tell media in this memo, it's a two and a half, three page memo, single spaced about all the things that you are not allowed to do. things like speaking about a woman's ambition or talking about whether women can be good leaders. sometimes women aren't good leaders this memo i contend is the height of sexism. they are saying you better not treat a woman or a woman of color the same as you would someone else because they are infants. they can't handle the heat in the arena. >> and speaking of women, according to the rundown for the dnc next week on monday. michelle obama is going to be one of the keynote speakers, and then later aoc herself is actually going to speak for 60 seconds.
4:08 am
that's all they are giving her. brian: wow. steve: it's going to be prerecorded and her supporters say it's a slap at the progressive wing of the democrat party. so, aoc, 60 seconds the meter is running. brian: i feel a little bit of civil war they all got renewed they passed their primaries. they are going to grow. more radical lefties take seats in left wing districts. i don't understand if they are so proud of getting the young vote, so proud of being progressive, why are they so determined to make senator harris seem moderate? which all you have to do is a little work to find out she is not. one thing is clear that susan rice was one of the top 2 finalists, maybe three if tammy duckworth reports about tammy duckworth having a late surge as a contender. look like she has been told in her interviews yesterday that she is going to have a prominent role in the administration. not hard to imagine. after all i imagine elizabeth warren will be secretary of treasury. karen bass will be doing
4:09 am
something there bourque has alreadbeto o'rourkehas been pro. he has none. the problem with susan rice is almost everything she has done has been wrong from the iranian deal to the libya adventure to not to saying that bowe bergdahl served with honor and distinction. steve: she should be secretary of state. brian: talking about her possible role. let's listen and read between the lines. >> i will do everything i possibly can to help joe biden become the next president of the united states and to help him succeed in governing in whatever form or fashion he wants. i will let joe biden answer that question but, let me say, i'm proud to serve him in any way he would like. brian: no doubt she will be there. and there is no doubt that john kerry, seeing him in that shot. he was one of the first to endorse biden when he was down and out. ric grenell who use used to be ambassador of germany and took over the dni. said this about what he knows about harris and it was one in
4:10 am
which about harris in particular she was somebody did not even return his calls when he started to give information in intelligence about what was happening over in europe and then, of course, what was happening here with intelligence. here he is weighing in on susan rice. she pass passed over because the obama by ten team and now the biden harris team problematic from the get-go. i think she is going to need to have, if they win and i don't think that they will we will have to have an appointment. she can't get through the senate. she has been lying and spying for too long. when you read her under oath transcript when she was under oath with penalty of perjury she
4:11 am
said i didn't see any russian collusion that was a different story when she was on tv spouting that she knew and saw. >> our country is going through so much right now. we are -- what is it 8 82 days until the election. there are some different themes going on in our country and different emotions when it comes to black lives matter. when it comes to the thin blue line. there is an artist that supports law enforcement and he lives on staten island. he went out and found a stretch of road right in front of the one of the precincts there and painted a thin blue line all along the median -- what do you call it the divider right there. this is on highland boulevard. it took him two hours to do. this now is he being ordered to remove his painted blue line, which is in support of police. >> ainsley, so, the thing that is really bugging him is when you look at mayor de blasio who has taken part in doing the black lives matter murals in all five burrows right there. you can see that mayor de
4:12 am
blasio did not gate permit and he said and we're going to give you a flashback just a little bit about a week or so, here he is saying i don't need a permit to do this. it's a freedom of expression thing. watch. >> what i decided to do with the black lives matter mullers transcends all normal realities because we are in a moment of history where this has to be said and done. but the normal process continues for anyone who wants to apply. ainsley: for everyone else. steve: i don't need a permit because i'm the mayor. scott la bade dough who ainsley has been talking about the artist with the paint roller he is being told to take it down by the department of transportation because did he not get a permit just like the mayor. here he is earlier on "fox & friends first." first amendment issue why is his artwork more important than
4:13 am
mine. he is saying it's not political it's a movement. i understand that nobody understands how politics work more than i do. my art is not a political message. it's a piece of art to show support and tribute to the men and women in blue, represent memorializing the men and women who made that ultimate sacrifice. running into a river to save a baby, it's a sacrifice that they met. that's a tribute that blue line. >> obviously somebody at the department of transportation said oh, we have got to go after that guy because he didn't follow the rules. but, you know, our friends who is in law enforcement, joe pair trees he has applied fora permit to do a black lives matter muller outside one police plaza. he is still waiting. unless you are like the mayor and then you just go do it. brian: unbelievable. that's what we are dealing with if you are listening around the country and around the world with a mayor totally incompetent
4:14 am
and tone deaf and feels his mission is more important than everyone else's. everyone right now in new york city is just leaving. nobody working here. leaving in drones. steve: we are the only three. brian: lost a trillion dollars worth of revenue if you are in commercial real estate you are out of luck. if you are. ainsley: residential real estate, too. brian: just know it's a beautiful neighborhood and pay a lot to be there. 26th street and 6th avenue about 30 to 40 vagrants who sit along the block. flower pots as homes. people who don't have customers are trying to open up their delis and dry cleaners you can't get to them. so they are keeping their doors closed. what is this mayor doing? deciding we need a muller in every borough in this city. is he an impairment to the country and this should not be aloud. ainsley: he said he was going to clean this area up immediately that was three weeks ago, brian. on sunday i sat down and read "the new york post."
4:15 am
few few pages probably six pages people moving out of the city. they don't feel comfortable. they don't feel safe. >> upper west side. >> that's what the highlight was. brian: doing crack and shooting up in front of everybody in the middle of the street. ainsley: and pedophiles. steve: please stay in their place. you know, it's one thing for mayor de blasio to go ahead and paint those mullers. we get that then again, when somebody else is going to do something like the blue line to support law enforcement, let them do that. it's is that blue line hurting anybody. ainsley: that artist said he is not black lives matter. he is pro-law enforcement, too. steve: it's not hurting anybody. ainsley: suing for a billion dollars and wants to give the money to law enforcement and people hurting right now. steve steve we will keep you posted. brian: crisis in law enforcement, they should be able to do it. next guest warns joe biden will not be able to stop it. former acting attorney general

ainsley: we have been telling you about violence surging in america's cities. the homicide rate up 25% in 50 of our largest cities, steve. steve: that's shocking, ainsley. joe biden is not addressing the problem accusing him of, quote: pandering to the antipolice radicals. brian: here to explain author of above the law matt whitaker. matt, that's your book about your time in the white house, try to create some law and order leading up to the release of the mueller report. let me ask you, when you see the unrest in chicago, portland, seattle and new york. what do you expect joe biden to do if he was a law and order --
4:21 am
law and order leader? >> well, brian, it's good to be with you this morning. >> >> good morning. >> what i see is the left, including joe biden and kamala harris are unwilling to really say anything positive about law enforcement, to support the men and women in blue. and this surge that we have seen in murders and crime in our major cities is going to have to be addressed with more law enforcement, not less. and i see this campaign really is a defining moment in american history. do you want to continue what we had done in the first two or three years of this administration lowering the crime rate including violent crime and murders or do you want to see a continued surge like we are seeing in minneapolis and other in chicago and other places and it's really stark contrast. ainsley: matt, i'm sure this is a concern when you hear joe biden's stance and kamala harris' stance on defunding or
4:22 am
redirecting or supporting police because they have given different messages after george floyd died we heard defund and then joe biden was asked about it. he said let's redirect money from the police department. and then just last week he is saying now i want to give police more money to help with this god awful problem that they are dealing with but then kamala harris, she praised l.a.'s mayor for slashing the lapd's budget for $150 million. what are democrats going to do? who do we believe? >> yeah, ainsley, i think you have to watch their actions and what they are friends are doing in these places like california and where they control and that is that they are having the police retreat. they are making money away. this is a time where we need more law enforcement, better training for law enforcement and we need to invest in our communities so every child can play safefully their front yard. right now we see too much pandering to the radical left. to the violent extremists that
4:23 am
are really torturing and tormenting many of our major cities. so i would expect that this ticket for the democrats would take money away from the police and make us less safe. steve: i don't get that, matthew, she has referred to herself as california's top cop. she was the attorney general of the golden state. and, yet, now, you know, given the national narrative about what's going on in some of the nation's biggest cities that as the president has pointed out are run by democrats, do you think she might redirect joe biden another direction or she s. is she all in with him? >> >> yeah. it's very interesting how it appears that senator harris kind of on the issue of supporting law enforcement has her finger in the wind. in 2010 she wrote a book where she suggested that actually we needed more police to keep our communities safe and protect our liberties and now in 2020, she is praising, for example, in los angeles, reprogrammed or cut the police budget by millions of
4:24 am
dollars, and so i think this is one of the things that is really the american people are going to have to seriously consider is do democrats really support less police and less public safety, unlike president trump who continues to send federal law enforcement where needed to support and buttress these local police who are completely under attack. and are being attacked not only physically but also through, you know, the allies in the press. brian: ag is in portland and ag until seattle not doing anything. portland 550 cases handed over by law enforcement to the d.a. 140 were felonies. only 45 are being played through. the rest you are free and clear to attack a cop and destroy government property. and wreck the place. unbelievable. it's very easy to stand up against this type of anarchy but they are not. yesterday, if you went to antifa.com went to a joe biden website to support them and we know that black lives matter

steve: well, it was meant to serve campus discussion about the importance of racial equality today in the united states. however, tulane university putting award-winning author's event on hold after students complained about his book that reckoned with a white supremacist ancestor.
4:30 am
the student government saying, quote: this government is not only inappropriate but violent towards the experience and work of black people. here to react as part of our week long series on cancel culture senior editor of reason robby suave i hav suave. good morning. >> good morning. steve: it this particular book life of a klansman. it's to discuss the story and significance to national reckoning with racism. you would think that would be a conversation people would like to have given that some people are talking about this particular topic right now. >> absolutely. and you would think it would be a conversation that would not offend people on the progressive left. my understanding of the book is that it, you know, take as view that there is a degree of complicity in having had. anna: says tore who benefited from racism, which, you know, which is kind of something the left actually, it believes. so you wouldn't think this would run afoul of them. but these students, i mean, to
4:31 am
read what they said about this guy online, you would think that they thought he was the klansman rather than having had. anna: says tore who was a klansman. they said it would be violence. it would be harmful to have this event. and, remember, they weren't actually going to have the event in person, you know, given everything that's going on it was going to be a virtual event. they thought it was threatening and putting people's lives at risk to have a virtual event discussing this. steve: tulane says this book addresses painful truth of past. in louisiana. it engages with the vibrant national discussion of anti-racism. we realize, however, that some felt strongly that this virtual author discussion as planned and promote wood give a platform to white supremacy as a result we made the decision to reschedule the event. the actual author of the book edward ball says i honor your sense of injury and, yet, disagree with those stories that they should be silenced. i think that by opening the
4:32 am
wounds that we have in our national memory we might be able to heal our injuries more successfully. he makes a good point. >> yeah. is he absolutely right. and, of course, if you are support of a college campus, shouldn't you want to have uncomfortable but important meaningful discussions about these kinds of topics? that's what is so interesting about these students. a small number of students but a very vocal and powerful minority who want to shut down these kinds of events. they have decided on behalf of everyone else that you can't discuss issues. and i don't understand why you would want to be at a college campus if you think that you don't have anything to learn. and you reject the notion that you should be taught or that you should have something to learn. which is what this small number of activists seem to think. steve: robby, that last point is so important. because, when i went to college back in the day, there were people saying everything. every side of every issue is discussed openly on my campus. but now it's becoming harder and harder to hear certain viewpoints.
4:33 am
ultimately, if you don't like something that somebody is going to say, just don't go to that event. don't turn on your computer to watch it. >> right. right. don't appoint yourself like some kind of dictator who gets to decide for other people what sort of events they get to learn from. exactly as you said. tune out. if it offends you so much. don't assert that power on behalf of others. steve: there you go. robby soave thank you for joining us. join us tomorrow or series on cancel culture continues we will be joined by cabot phillips of campus reform. 7:33 here in new york city. kamala harris says she supports sanctuary cities and called to overhaul ice. will that hurt joe biden as he tries to win suburban voters? a panel of mothers here to discuss that coming up next right here on "fox & friends." ♪ r with less eczema, you can show more skin.

ainsley: president trump predicting he will win over suburban housewives as he calls out joe biden's housing plans. >> they are going to, in my opinion, destroy i suburbia. when they go in and change zoning so that you have lots of problems where they want to build low income housing you want something where people can aspire not where it hurts families. ainsley: a republican candidate for congress in virginia. hey, ladies, thanks for being with us. >> good morning. ainsley: good morning, i want to ask all of three of you what the suburban housewife, mom, worker, we have so many hats. what we're looking for in a candidate. so, i will started with you karith. >> well, you know, listen, education is huge for me as a mother of small children but so is their safety. i think the safety of off
4:39 am
children should be the focus certainly of not only this administration but any future administrations. as well as as well as getting our country back or track. ainsley: how do you feel with kamala praises the l.a.'s mayor for slashing the lapd's budget? >> you know, i hope that that means that those funds are going to other places to help support the police to take the pressure off of them so that mental health experts can come in and not the police officer's jobs anymore. but, you know, just being cut for the sake of being cut to, you know, say in your face. that's not okay. ainsley: alicia, what are you looking for in a candidate? >> i'm looking for someone that's going to keep us safe. kind of like what we were just talking about but schools, safety, and i think overall a push to really rejuvenate the economy on the other side of covid-19. >> i think that it's so important that we show families that they could be safe in america and we can thrive in
4:40 am
america again. that's what people are really looking for specifically in virginia 10 where i'm looking to be their congresswoman. ainsley: barbara, i think she is right we all want to keep our children safe and that's our jobs as parents. how about you? what are you looking for as a suburban mom. >> safety, he had its can a, i want to see these american small businesses get back on their feet. i want somebody that is looking out for all of families of america and to see our economy back and thriving. ainsley: yeah. so, karith, yesterday we saw kamala harris and we heard her speak and she is -- she said she is a mom to two. she married someone that has children and they call. >> geraldo: momala. which is cute. are you happy with her platform and some of the things that she has voted on in the past? what do you think? >> you know, i think that i want to believe again that every person who is running for these offices has, you know, their hearts in the right place. you know, for me, you know, her
4:41 am
record as a prosecutor certainly speaks for itself. but, you know, people are campaigning now. and they are saying a lot of things. and hopefully they will make good on those promises. but the good things that we know we can depend on to make our country stronger and better. ainsley: barbara, how about you? >> you know, i thought her speech was really powerful. i like her story. i love her history. she is really, you know, i'm really interested in her as a woman and a minority candidate. but, she lost me when she blamed trump for the pandemic. i really felt politics sneak in there and i was really disappointed. i also, you know, knowing that she is an advocate for defunding the police, gives, i believe, a lot of suburban mothers pause to really really consider her as a candidate. i think it's what suburban moms are really looking at right now is the safety of america. ainsley: yeah. i mean, we should all support one another. i believe as a christian we are all god's children. i support everyone. i support women.
4:42 am
i did think her speech was powerful, too. you agree with you. whether or not, you know, there are two different -- there are some different issues. and you have to go to the polls and look at the issues. that's how we have to vote. alicia, how about you? what did you think? >> i think she is a very powerful speaker. but i think actions speak a lot louder than words. and when it comes down to voting. i think that americans are really going to be looking at those solid issues of safety and when you are looking at kamala harris, you know, i struggle as a mother wondering how anyone who wants to defund the police can really have our best interest for security of our communities at heart. and that's something that's going to be a deal breaker come november 3rd for her. you know, i am a huge woman's woman. and i think we need to support women and continue to uplift them. but i truly think that she has missed the mark when it comes to wanting to support defunding the police because i think that so many men and women across the board want to support our law enforcement officers and want
4:43 am
the safety and security in our neighborhoods. and that has to be our focus in our communities is law and order. it's what we were built upon. i think that's a huge mark that she has missed. ainsley: why do you want to get into politics, alicia? why are you running? >> i'm running because i think my district is worth fighting for. our values are worth fighting for. security and safety in our communities is worth fighting for and ultimately the american dream. i'm going to be the first u.s. marine to ever since in the congress in 100 years of suffrage. never been a woman from the marine corps to serve. ainsley: really? >> it's incredible to think that way. i look and see how many people on capitol hill have not been able to come together and unify and support the american people in their dire need. they are more interested in putting the pork in to these bills than actually serving the american people. that's what we need. we need people that know it true there is an honor to serve. i think being a marine helps me realize a mother and the gravity
4:44 am
of the decisions that we make on capitol hill and the impact it has on our communities. ainsley: karith, what are you telling your children about politics these days? >> i'm sorry, ainsley, say that again? ainsley: are you all sitting around the kitchen table and talking about politics? >> absolutely. ainsley: you are? what do you say. >> we are. my children are aware that we have, you know, a woman of color, a woman who has now been selected as the vice presidential candidate. we, you know, we talk about what we want to see happen in our country and we want this division and politics of it all to end. i agree with alicia 100 percent. we need to come together as a country. this is not the time to continue the infighting. we need to think about our health, our wellness, our piece of mind. ainsley: barbara, how old are your kids? >> my boys are 14 and 16 and my daughter is 8. ainsley: oh, wow, so what kind of conversations are you all
4:45 am
having in your house? >> you know, that's a great question i appreciate because i'm raising boys and a little girl. we are excited that there is a broad mix of candidates right now. but it all comes down to the policies, their beliefs, their vision for america. irregardless if they're man, woman, black, white, whatever. we care about the causes that they are talking about. and that's it. that's what it comes down to. ainsley: well, thank you so much for informing all of our viewers out there that are going to have to make a decision on november 3rd. god bless you all. thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having us. >> thanks, ainsley. ainsley: you are welcome. to another female friend of mine upstairs jillian has headlines for us. jillian: good morning to you. good morning to you at home as well. witness residence in one chicago neighborhood are pushing back against anti-police protesters. [shouting] >> no matter what they were going to do they weren't going to come to englewood

4:48 am
calm. ainsley: do not do this if you see a bear in the woods, i don't recommend that you feed it at the picnic table. jillian: no. ainsley: they are lucky. jillian: yes, they are. ainsley: hand it over to adam. are we going to be able to picnic this weekend? what's the weather looking like? >> anxiously, i'm glad you said that i thought i was the only one thinking that maybe you shouldn't be feeding a bear. yeah, diving right into the forecast though. it continues to be incredibly hot heat wave in the middle of the country spilling off to the west. texas back across the dessert southwest into california and running north. these are all heat warnings watches and advisories. plenty of these spots, talking 'highs today running up into the triple digits. 103 degrees in dallas. 114 degrees in phoenix. incredibly hot the next couple of days. other story we continue to watch is the tropics. we have possibly a tropical storm developing here the next couple of hours it. will be josephine. here is the route. you see it stays north of the lesser an tillies. as i toss it back out to you. this is not going to be a storm

4:54 am
it, ken? what do you see? >> women's contemporary sports wear, swim wear store in the heart of -- got the alarm call while i was on my way down. i was hoping to god i didn't get that call but five or 10 minutes after i got in my car i was trying to get down there. i got the call. i knew they were in my store and it was going to be bad. the second time i have done. this second time i have experienced it. yeah. it's a lawlessness. it's the wild west down there. and only thing i could do was get in front of my store and discourage them by having my presence there the neighbor that called me said i can see it. it's happening again. what he she sees is cars driving up and down streets. they are spanning the area. they organize. they have social media. they are calling their friends. and there are caravans of cars. two, three, four, five cars followed by u-hauls.

5:01 am
s are still nowhere near a deal. >> what he's doing is undermining social security. >> this coming evidently agreement on the payroll tax cut -- >> this is necessary because our economy and our people need this. this canine cop doesn't just sit. he also helps his deputy sit upholding down his partner's feet for that perfect form, look >> ♪ ♪ steve: great song. that's right. welcome aboard folks to the fox & friends for this thursday, august 13, and yesterday, joe biden welcomed kamala harris and her husband doug to the family. he referred to them as honorary bidens so i'd like to welcome everyone you're honorary fox & friends. just saying. brian: absolutely and by the way if michael bubley wants a

5:03 am
on the attack, on the president on the coronavirus and the economy and then the prosecutor in harris came out. >> america is crying out for leadership, yet we have a president who cares more about himself than the people who elected him and let me tell you, somebody who has presented my fair share of arguments in court , the case against donald trump and mike pence is open and shut. griff: neither took questions from the press afterwards and then minutes later at the white house the president offered a very different take on the economy touting strong stock market numbers and then when asked by a reporter about the pick, returned the punch from harris. president trump: there was nobody more insulting to biden than she was. she said horrible things about him, including accusations made about him by a woman, where she,
5:04 am
i guess, believed the woman, and now all of a sudden, she's running to be vice president, saying how wonderful he is. griff: so here we go it looks like it's going to be an 82-day rumble that we're in for. one thing worth noting about yesterday's rollout guys let's show you the cover of the new york times four years ago when trump tapped mike pence just a small picture below the fold in the main news feature the headline reading "unbending conservative" and now let us show you yesterday's cover of the new york times. you see a large photo an attractive photo of kamala harris, and all three columns here above the fold, about her, her resume and her record, many in the critics there are in the media saying it was not the same sort of treatment, that pence got four years ago. we'll see if the coverage continues to be balanced. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: good luck. ainsley: thank you so much, griff. you know when you hear he talk
5:05 am
and you know her story, everyone around america is going to love her story. the fact that her mom came from india, her dad came from jamaica to give her a better life for education she said, and she had a great education. she is strong, she was the a.g. , she's held some very important roles in our country. the question is, do you like her policies? you can love her story, and not like her policies, and conservatives don't. they say that she is a champion of the radical left, when you look at her record. but if you look at the media, many channels are painting her as a moderate. take a look. >> kamala harris comes from the middle of the road moderate wing of the democratic party, not the first choice of progressives. >> cultivating a moderate political reputation, and invit ing criticism from some liberals that she was insufficiently progressive on criminal justice issues. >> trump campaign has been chomping at the bit for someone to attack, something to stick, and they seem to have only this
5:06 am
attempt to tie a decidedly moderate ticket to the radical left. ainsley: so if you look at her record, she wants to ban all fracking, wants to raise your taxes, she praised la's mayor for slashing the lapd's budget by $150 million, she wants free healthcare for illegal, steve. steve: that her platform over the last year or so, so when you watched all those other channels say all those things about how she's a moderate, they don't want to talk about things that she's actually proposed, and actually done, because when she was in the senate, she developed a record, and and according to govtrack.us, they rank all 100 senators and she was the most liberal compared to all u.s. senators. ainsley: what about bernie? steve: she beats bernie sanders. she's more liberal than bernie sanders. she's also the least bipartisan senator because of 471 billions
5:07 am
she co-sponsored only 15% of them were with a legislator who was not a democrat so is she somebody whose going to work across the aisle? well when she was in the u.s. senate, she did not. so, that's the way we have set this up. we showed you that they're trying to, after the rollout yesterday, portray her as a moderate, because people like the idea of a moderate, and not somebody whose to one side extremely or the other, and given the fact that she's been rated the most liberal, then, when you hear her talk about things she wants to get done, it suddenly makes sense. here she is, in the wayback machine. >> i strongly believe that we need to have medicare for all, and within that system -- >> do you think that's socialist or not medicare for all? >> no, no, it's about providing healthcare to all people. >> you mentioned that and it's a resolution and i support the goal. we'll have to figure out a way
5:08 am
to get there. >> do you support mandatory buybacks? >> i think it's a good idea, yeah. we have to work out the details, there are a lot of details in it but i do. >> raise your hand if you think it should be a civil offense rather than a crime to cross the border without documentation >> can we keep our hands up so we could see them? steve: okay so the thats the reality with the speech she gave yesterday she was poised, she was aggressive, she was going right after trump and pence, but make no mistake about it. when you look at her record and think she has advocated, she is not a moderate. brian: and by the way there's another part to this and they ask, put your hand up if you plan on supporting healthcare, taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegals for 11-22 million and they all put their hands up again. after that you know how the network moderators dealt with that? they never asked him those
5:09 am
questions again. steve: joe biden put his hand up too. brian: they're remarkably unpopular with the mass audience in america. their internals must show that america does not want to elect a left wing radical. that is why aoc barely has a role at what they call the dnc , because the coronavirus barely exists but yet she's one of the most popular politicians in america. certainly everybody knows her, so this is fascinating. they are determined to say we put together a moderate ticket, but if you look at what they are saying, and what they've done, it has nothing to do with moderate and so many left wing democrats have spoken out and talked about how they've caresse d joe biden into the left of their party. they know that america does not want to go and elect an extremist but they are, according to the record electing an extremist being pushed in
5:10 am
that direction. there's just no doubt about it. ainsley: will the progressives be happy with this ticket? brian: if they look at the record they will be but if they listen to what the media is portraying them they won't be but they'll know, wing and the nod, you picked the right people why would james clyburn be supportive? ainsley: i want to know how they stand on policing because biden said he wants more money to go to police officers after he said redirect money a few weeks ago, and then kamala praised the lapd for slashing the budget brian: what about anterior a and foreign policy and for rough china rules? steve: and brian we had matthew whitaker whose the acting attorney general in the united states and he said that back when she was attorney general, she actually advocated for more money for the cops, so she was for more money before she was for less money. ainsley: all right moving on. steve: politics. ainsley: we have a fox news alert, moments ago this brand
5:11 am
new video coming into our news room showing officers guarding i.c.e. buses from hundreds of protesters in bend, oregon overnight. steve: the chaos so intense federal agents were called in overnight to help clear out the crowd. brian: now the unrest started earlier in the day. i.c.e. officials say demonstrators blocked buses in a hotel parking lot for hours carrying two men who were arrested for their violent criminal history. you wouldn't think that be a problem would it? but when i.c.e. buses get stopped, thank goodness, we had the department of homeland security to help out. tom homan, who used to direct i.c.e., said this about what he saw and cannot get his head around it. >> truly disgusting you would think the community be grateful to i.c.e. taking public safety threats off their streets. the state of washington and the state of oregon has been taken over by the progressive left. what really irritates me is the district attorney of that county made a statement. he's never been so proud of the community and disgusted with the federal government. he should resign immediately, because that's not what he's
5:12 am
supposed to be about. he's supposed to be about law enforcement protecting the community and enforcing law and prosecuting criminals. that's exactly what i.c.e. is doing in his county. he ought to be thanking them not saying he's disgusted with them. brian: and final thought on that he's referring to the councilman in the area who said i'm really encouraged and motivated and enthusiastic about the way our community stood up to the i.c.e. bus, pulling away criminals. it's nuts and he goes we tried to have an intelligence committee conversation with i.c.e. and homeland security they just don't want to deal with it. what don't you understand about criminals here el illegally breaking the law. what do you want in your community? this is not hard stuff. this is right and wrong i don't get it. ainsley: kamala compared i.c.e. to the kkk at one point. jillian: good morning we begin with a fox news alert because moments ago, president trump addressing ongoing stimulus talks saying that mail-in voting is one of the reasons
5:13 am
negotiations are being held up. listen. president trump: 500,000 applications for ballots got sent to everybody, nobody even knows got sent to dog, got sent to dead people. maria: this is one of the stick ing points holding back stimulus for americans during this coronavirus. president trump: oh, yeah that's one of them. that's right. jillian: stimulus talks stalled after the two sides failed to make a deal by last friday's deadline forcing the president to sign several executive orders evacuations are underway as a fast-moving wildfire ex pleads in los angeles county overnight. the lake fire torching more than 10,000-acres in just hours, with zero containment. a wall of fire turning the sky red and then take a look at this a home completely engulfed in just 20 minutes, strong winds and extreme heat are making it tough for firefighters to battle those flames. today the trump adminitration is expected to rollback restrictions on oil &
5:14 am
gas plants. the regulation on the release of methane put in place to limit greenhouse gas emissions. the white house billing the move as a way to strengthen and promote american energy. some states including california claim this is illegal and may sue to block it. okay, so it's not really a sweet moment for keith hernandez he tried to send his broadcast partner a cookie, didn't go so well. >> let me send one over to you. >> oh, you going to put it on there? >> oh, man. >> all right i hope it holds. >> i don't want your socks i'm just telling you right now. i don't want your socks! >> [laughter] jillian: the broadcast team is calling games from different booths to social distance during the pandemic but you can't drop the cookie! drop the socks not the cookie. steve: what is it? is that the clothes line? it looks like the clothes line we used to have in our backyard.
5:15 am
jillian: that's how they pass things to each other. steve: we know he's watching keith good morning to you, send us a cookie. brian: and he wants us to buy gold i think. ainsley: not a bad idea, buy it for us, brian. put a clothes line up for us. brian: absolutely and you don't want my socks either. ainsley: nope. steve: anyway, thank you, jillian for that. meanwhile, joe biden and kamala harris already pointing fingers in their first debut as runningmates taking aim at president trump for running obama's economy into the ground. a former member of president obama's national finance committee don peebles react, coming up next. >> ♪ ♪ ♪

can lead the economy when it comes out of this pandemic, but i don't think the country is going to blame donald trump for the pandemic. some people may blame him for how its been handled but not blaming him for the pandemic and its impact on the economy. steve: let's talk a little bit about how the federal government handled. you know, in the beginning there was so much that was not known. and there was a lot of unknown science at that point, and wear a mask, don't wear a mask, stuff like that and now they go wear a mask and everything else. can you really blame the president for the all of federal government response? >> well look. first of all, again, talking about the economy, the first two years of the trump adminitration were almost record setting economic growth and the lowest unemployment numbers for african americans and for americans as a whole since we've been keeping statistics on unemployment, so we had a very robust economy. i think that this issue with
5:23 am
regards to how the pandemic has been handled as a start began because no one knew the impact of it, initially trump wanted to close the borders and was criticized for that and then once he ultimately reopened the back because he relented to the criticism, then we started learning more about it and then he was blamed for keeping the borders open too long and not reacting quick enough. this was something that caught us all by surprise, and had a devastating impact on the world and has created a worldwide recession, not just america, so i think that there's an argument to be had that we could have closed it up, closed the country earlier and reacted earlier and then there's an argument that we didn't know but i think that ultimately, the question is is biden able to handle it better? what would he have done differently? and that we haven't heard yet. steve: exactly. you know, don, the pandemic struck shortly after some of the early primaries, and a lot
5:24 am
of people weren't really tuned in yet to the list of people who were running for president on the democratic side, and in fact , kamala harris dropped outback in december, then the pandemic struck, and now, people seem to be getting more engaged and paying attention and trying to learn more, but as we learn more about kamala harris, they're trying to portray her as a moderate, but the thing she's talked about in the past, not so moderate. >> well, i think that look, she has, you know, gone left, center , and in between there in different situations. i mean if you look at her law enforcement career in california , its been much more to the center in many areas and then if you look at her campaign when she's been running for president, it got more to the left and then i think that the progressives, the ultra left are going to have an issue with her in terms of her criminal justice record in california and
5:25 am
i think the centrists are going to be concerned about her shift to the left in certain areas so she has a wide range of positions and i think that the voters are going to want a little more clarity. steve: that's a nice way to put it. final question and it's what every person watching right now wants to know. it says the bath club behind you what is the bath club? >> the bath club is a private club in miami beach on the ocean that my wife and i own. it is the oldest social club in the southeast united states. it tells you about america for example, it was started in 1926 it was a restricted club that didn't allow african americans or jewish members. i bought the club in 2000, built a luxury condo development and now we're re-launching the bath club into a private club that is much more inclusive and reflective of america today and an example, by the way, of how far our countries gone. steve: you know, we started talking politics, this turned into a conversation about your
5:26 am
business. i got a feeling a bunch of people are googling the bath club in miami in about 15 seconds. don, thank you very much for joining us today. >> thank you very much for having me. steve: all right, very good. did not know that story. all right, meanwhile, we've been following the story from the start as atellis gym in new jersey defied state shutdown orders so now their license has been revoked but the owners promise their fight does not end there. they will join us live, next.

ainsley: your next food delivery could come from a ghost kitchen, they prepare to go orders only and are becoming the restaurant industry's next big thing. jeff flock from our sister network fox business joins us live from outside wing stop in illinois to talk about the trend hey, jeff. >> reporter: it's a trend, and i'll tell you, it's perfect for coronavirus. it is something not like, you know, wing stop has really been tremendously successful. you folks strike me as perhaps wings people, 1,300 locations around the country they've been expanding in the coronavirus,
5:31 am
same-store sales up 32% why? because they focus on delivery, and they do it through something called a ghost kitchen which essentially is a place where they just cook the food. you can't go there and buy a wing. you have to order it online, and then they send it from a ghost kitchen. they don't have to maintain these store fronts somewhere. they can just do the cooking and the delivery, and people seem to like it as i said they've been expanding big time, it is expected as you point out, ainsley, to be a big trend for all the fast food restaurants but nobody has been more successful yet than wing stop. for me, i actually throw the wings away when i eat a chicken. i want to eat something i can really sink my teeth into but that's just me. ainsley? ainsley: [laughter] you know buffalo wings are not made from buffaloes right? [laughter] thanks, jeff. >> reporter: i've heard that. i have heard that thank you. ainsley: let's hand it over to brian. brian: thank you very much, we've been following their story from the beginning. we last spoke to the owners of
5:32 am
the new jersey's atilis gym in july after a judge scheduled the state ruled that the state can permanently close the gym for repeatedly challenging shutdown orders. well the battle didn't end there on tuesday, the local council voted 5-1 to revoke the atilis gym's business license and here with an update on where they stand, co-owners ian smith and frank trombetti. where are you now? >> we are still at the gym. still operating as normal. brian: they told you you can't do a business, they told new jersey that you can't work out in a gym. why is it that you're so determined to push back? >> because if we don't pushback now, we're not going to have anything to pushback on because they violated all of our constitutional rights. the constitution, you know, basically says that they don't have any regulation or commerce and that's all they're doing. they do not have the right to shut us down in any way whatsoever. brian: so this is the statement.
5:33 am
atilis gym's conduct is abhorent to organize judicial system, jeopardizes public health and must not be tolerated. your reaction. >> you know, in that hearing, there was nothing put forth as far as evidence that can back up that statement that we are jeopardizing public health. we even asked for it and we asked to stay the hearing another week so that the state or the town could present that information and we could discuss it. there is no evidence to support that claim, so until we see some evidence that our facility is dangerous and that others are safe, we won't be shutting down. brian: all right, so we have 50 states. right now, you think the number is less but i have eight states that are banning health clubs. what stats are they looking at and how dare they do this to small business owners across the
5:34 am
country. what is the logic? >> i have no idea what stats they're looking at but i sincerely think they are actually looking to make sure they can mandate a peak and a spike in covid cases in the fall so they can shut everything down again, that is my honest belief. that if they open up gyms they know everybody will go to them, get healthy and feel better and build thin immune system and have less of a spike in the fall , and i truly believe that that's what this is all about, because they don't have any data and science to back anything up. we have as of midnight last night we have 19, 389 people that have come through our facility and we have zero people who have come back who were doing contact racing and everything abdomen nobody has come back with covid and we've now recently acquired and we have put it into implementation yet, we have some rapid covid-19 antibody tests that we are going to be offering for free once we figure out the legalities of how to do it with a nurse, and what other business is doing that?
5:35 am
brian: none. >> as far that goes. brian: none and they can put out monitors to monitor restaurants and bars and make sure you're not having a good time. they revoke licenses for people who are violating, but they can't do it to gyms? you would welcome the monitoring because you're living up to everything they require. this is inexcusable. two gym franchises have declared bankruptcy, 24 hour fitness and gold's and now small businesses are going to go belly up and they don't care. guys thanks for fighting for so many other people i appreciate it. frank andy an , continued success. >> thank you. brian: all right, you got it meanwhile straight ahead fox news alert the weekly jobless claims report moments ago. here we go less than 1 million people filing for unemployment last week that's the first time that has happened in months. the president's son eric trump, here to react, next. if you have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture, now might not be the best time to ask yourself, are my bones strong? life is full of make or break moments.

steve: we've got a fox news alert look at the numbers there the weekly jobless claims for first time unemployment is out, and 963,000 filed for unemployment benefits for the first time last week. brian: listen it's not a great number but in the scheme of things it is a great number that's less than what the experts predicted and the first time claims fell below a million in 21 weeks. ainsley: about 57 million americans have filed for unemployment since the pandemic started, and that is the lowest number under 1 million since march. let's bring in eric trump, executive vice president for the trump organization and son of our president, good morning to you, eric. >> good morning guys good morning, ainsley how are you? ainsley: we're great when you hear that news, what are your thoughts? >> well listen if you look at the last three months look at the last three months, 9.3 million americans went back to work, if you look at last month alone if you look at july, right, 1.8 million jobs were created which blew away expectations and then you look at this month, you look at the
5:41 am
claim you're talking about right now, well under 1 million which again blew away expectations. my father always said that you're going to have a v-shaped recovery and look at where the dow jones is right now. the dow jones is at 28,000 right now. look at where the nasdac is. the nasdac is all-time highs. i mean the dow was literally 1,000 points off all-time highs. do you know what that means for 401 (k) and pension plans and our economy in general? our economy is roaring back to life. it is roaring back to life and we should all be very proud of that as americans as much as kind of the mainstream media wants to ignore it, guys. steve: just imagine where the economy be if there were no global pandemic. who knows. but there is one, and that is something that kamala harris was talking about yesterday during the rollout with joe biden. they were socially distanced in delaware. here she is taking a shot at your dad, listen. >> america is crying out for leadership, yet we have a president who cares more about
5:42 am
himself than the people who elected him. a president whose making every challenge we face even more difficult to solve. the case against donald trump and mike pence is open and shut. we don't have to accept the failed government of donald trump and mike pence. steve: she also, eric, said that your dad ran the economy into the ground, but i think we all know it wasn't your father, it was a global pandemic. >> you know whose crying out, steve? do you know whose crying out the people of san francisco. right? her home city, when you see people deficating in the streets and kids walking over hypodermic needles, homelessness and the highest taxes anywhere in the world, that's no longer even embodies america in so many ways. you see what's happened to that amazing city under her leadership and many other people 's leadership. you know who else is crying out? law enforcement officers.
5:43 am
she compared law enforcement to the kkk, right? there's a lot of people who are crying out. you know who else be crying out? 180 million people in this country, who have private health insurance that she wants to eliminate. she wants socialized medicine, government-run healthcare. those people be crying out as well. i mean, listen. she didn't do too well in the primaries. you saw she got under 2% of the total vote. i don't know why magically she's going to become this unicorn that somehow, rejuvenates joe biden who has zero enthusiasm, but i really believe she was kind of a christmas present in august for my father and for the campaign, and we're really excited that she's on the ticket to say the least. brian: just taking a look at this almost every report going into today's show we started reading to find out an idea what they are projecting for the numbers. everybody, including the ap said over 1 million jobless claims and it's going to be really bad because the $600 ran out, and people are going to run out and apply for
5:44 am
unemployment. they aren't thinking. a lot of people, the theory is and according to a lot of experts is people are getting paid more not to work and unfortunately because of the stalemate, nobody is getting any supplement all money over the last three weeks. so now, the number went down below a million, the so-called experts have to scramble with another explanation, maybe a lot of people said now i have to go back to work i have no choice, perhaps we'll see. meanwhile the other story what your dad did over the weekend was on saturday, i'm going to take action and one of the things he said is i'm going to cut payroll taxes because for the people that work, they're making under $100,000, they are going to take more money home, and everybody was upset by that, except for , of course, nancy pelosi in 2012. compare nancy pelosi, couldn't believe the president did something so irresponsible in 2020 as opposed to a woman with a shorter hair style in 2012. watch. >> well he says he's going to
5:45 am
do the payroll tax and what he's doing is undermining social security and medicare, so these are illusions. this is necessary because our economy and our people need this boost for individual families 160 million american families, this will be a boost. >> do you worry though that this does take money out of the social security trust fund and that it may never fully be refunded? repaid? >> no, i don't worry about that brian: don't worry about it, eric. >> brian, i mean, you know, that's what all americans see honestly. she's a phony and chuck schumer is a phony and brian these people have never actually signed checks in their life. they've been dependent on the u.s. government their entire adult life and by the way look at the lives that they live. i mean, they are pretty lavish. they never worked a job in the real industry. they don't care. on different days of the week they'll go back and fourth on
5:46 am
positions depending on whose in power. that was like the perfect dichotomy where she loved it back in 2010-2012 she hates it today. they would do anything they could to solve the economy, they would do anything they could to stall unemployment, they don't want to see this economy come raging back as it is right now as you're seeing in virtually every economic number because they know it's going to help my father come november. he's been the greatest president in the history of the country on the economy, and you know, that's why they're doing this and the hipocracy is crazy and honestly we need more people in government that have actually signed the front of a check that have actually employed people, that have actually run businesses. she's been in office literally for 40 years, brian and the same thing, look at biden. biden has been in office substantially longer than i've been alive and these are the people making the economic decisions for the united states of america? give me a break. ainsley: eric thanks for being on with us today. >> great to be with you guys thank you.

brian: back with quick headlines a teen is dead after being stabbed and set on fire it happened in the bronx, new york. officials say winston ortiz was stabbed three times in the chest before being dosed with gasoline and set on fire with a match leaving him in critical condition. neighbors using buckets of water to put out the flames. he later died in a nearby hospital, ortiz is allegedly having an argument with an attacker right before the incident took place. the suspect is not in custody. georgia students and teacher s are pleading for their schools to reopen after being shutdown because of the coronavirus concerns. >> everyone has the right to make their own decisions and have opinions, but we shouldn't be forced to go online because others are fearful. brian: i hear you. the cherokee county district telling more than a thousand staff and students to quarantine after three staffers and six students tested positive for covid-19.
5:52 am
photos from north paulding high made headlines showing a jam packed hallway with only a few students wearing masks and final ly vandals severely damaging a colorado memorial dedicated to fallen officers the suspects destroying five names using a sharp object causing permanent damage. family members are devastated. >> just sickened and brought to tears when i came down here two weeks ago to see just a blatant disregard for these heros who sacrificed everything. brian: deranged. organizers say it will cost more than $50,000 to fix the memorial it's not clear if any arrests have been made. ainsley? ainsley: thank you, brian. well you know her from that right there, that breakout role in the 1979 movie. she is a ten. now actress bo derek is taking on another lead role in her work to support our nations disabled veterans and she joins us with more good morning to you,bo. >> good morning.
5:53 am
ainsley: thanks so much for being on with us. >> it's a pleasure, thank you. it's my favorite subject. ainsley: i love that you're doing this i know you've been helping disabled vets for a very long time. tell us how you got involved with this organization. >> you know, i was attending the inauguration for president george w. bush and i was at the vice president's breakfast which is a tradition, and i ran into the secretary of veterans affairs who is this incredible man and he told me about these events for disabled veteran, and how moving they were, how inspirational they were, so he invited me out for the winter sports clinic and i couldn't believe it. the whole mountain was just covered with 400 disabled veterans from every kind of disability and when they say they're adaptive sports they truly are. the va and all the volunteers hundreds and hundreds of
5:54 am
volunteers make sure that every single veteran gets to participate in these sports. ainsley: they do so much for our country and keep us all safe and we love them all, when they come home with a major injury, i always wonder how do they get through that but things like this it gives them a reason to live, right? >> it does, and you know, we expect, we demand, that they get whatever they need medically and i pretty much knew that overall, that's what they get , but this is so far beyond just a medical problem, or a medical rehabilitation in a room with a bunch of machines and physical therapy which is all very important, but when you get them outdoors in competition, sometimes a pretty rough contact sport like quad rugby, you can just see the blossom and the change in attitude and it was an incredible time for me. i think i did it about eight years.
5:55 am
ainsley: you know i love to think about what god has given all of us and god has given you, you know, you're beautiful and god allowed that and your talents as an actress to touch the lives of so many people and then when our veterans come home and they're disabled what is their reaction when you walk in their hospital room, or you put a medal around their neck? >> it's amazing. i mean, i never thought i could be that impress anybody that much, and these are young men and women who have chosen to serve, so they already have another mind set that most of us don't have and so it was an honor. i always thought i was the lucky american who had the opportunity to say thank you in person. ainsley: well i know that gives you so much satisfaction and in a different way than you're acting but in a monumental way you're able to thank the people that are out there, our heros. i know your dad served your step father served your late
5:56 am
husband served so thank you, they've instilled in you some great qualities, bo, and we wish you all the best, tell john cor bin hi and thank you for what you do god bless you. >> thank you. ainsley: we have more fox & friends moments away. >> ♪ ♪
