>> i am pleased to announce that vice president joe biden has been officially nominated as our candidate for president of the united states. >> it means the world to me and my family and i will see you on thursday. >> this is going to be the most consequential presidency. this is going to be the most important election of your life. >> joe biden will be a president we are proud to salute. >> they want to spend very little money and much less on our military. the biden harris plan is a

step-by-step recipe for abolishing america's borders. >> blame, bully, you know what joe biden will do, build back better. >> if we entrust this nation to joe, he will do for your family what he did for hours. >> the survival of our nation is at stake in this election. never let you down. todd: preparing for political battle, joe biden officially accepting the democratic nomination for president during night 2 of the dnc. good morning, you are watching "fox and friends first" on wednesday morning. jillian: thank you for joining us, biden's nomination coming in a virtual cross-country rollcall. todd: griff jenkins has the highlights as donald trump slams biden's policies during a trip to the southern border.

>> reporter: everyone is talking about the nationwide virtual rollcall with delegates in respective states from american samoa to alabama to las vegas to calamari in rhode island, everyone congratulating joe biden. it is now official. his wife congratulated him from a high school in wilmington as she made the case for the biden harris ticket. >> we just need leadership worthy of our nation, worthy of you, leadership, to reimagine what our nation will be. that is joe. he and kamala harris will work as hard as you do every day to make this nation better. >> reporter: absent from doctor biden's speech were attacks on donald trump. that job was left to former president bill clinton.

>> at a time like this the oval office should be a command center. instead it is a storm center. there is only chaos. one thing never changes, his determination to deny responsibility and shift the blame. the book never stops there. you have to decide whether to renew his contract or hire someone else. >> reporter: interesting moments, alexandria ocasio cortez. what what she would do? she nominated bernie sanders. the rnc pushing back, mercedes schlapp had this to say. >> it was like a bad homecoming party. let's roll out bill, let's roll out john kerry and they don't talk policy. it is all about joe is a good guide. >> reporter: hitting the campaign trail donald trump in the battleground state of arizona blasting his opponent's immigration plan.

>> biden's plan is the most radical, extreme, reckless, dangerous and deadly immigration plan ever put forward by a major party candidate. it must be defeated and it will be defeated on november 3rd. >> reporter: here comes night 3 of the dnc convention. a theme of a more perfect union is a lot of democrats star power from president barack obama to nancy pelosi to senator kamala harris to hillary clinton and elizabeth warren. we will see what they say. todd: thank you. jillian: senator ted cruz points on a major difference between the trump and biden campaigns, republicans have ideas to help the country and he says

democrats don't. >> if this election turns on ideas, substance, policy, what actually works for the country than republicans are going to have a fantastic election in november because our policies work, freedom works, free enterprise works, protecting, securing the border, protecting our homes, having police enforce law and order. all of that works. democrats want this to be a battle of personalities. what they are gambling on, their base hates donald trump and they want it to be a personality battle. it is not even close. >> heavy hitters and others attacking donald trump's record but with a fair assessment? todd: black voices for trump's stacy washington, thanks for being here. these attacks were numerous, sharply worded. let's take a listen. >> a president doing everything

in his power to make it that way. keep it that way. >> the oval office should be a command center. instead, it is a storm center, there is only chaos. >> donald trump has divided our country, diminished our greatness, demeaned everything this statue represents. america, donald trump has quit on you. todd: of course they were going to attack trump but were those attacks rooted in fact? >> schumer on statues, a democrat leader talking about statues and clinton on the oval office, they don't know iron he. i was holding back laughter listening to that. this is an interesting dichotomy for them because as democrats let cities burn they are having an event on production values filled with people talking about essays. they can attack the president

that can't attack him on his accomplishments. he has done more in 3 and a half years than any of them have done, joe biden had 7 years in dc. they are attacking someone because that person has accomplished, donald trump is unmatched in his fervor for the american people, his desire to see everyone not just have a job but still in our economy. we are on the way back up. everywhere you look, like high school bullies, they are attacking him for an imaginary thing. they don't say what donald trump is done that is wrong. they just give euphemisms. i am happy to be the cochair of black voices for trump working every day to reelect the president. jillian: they also don't say what they will do. they are on the attack. expect both sides to be on the attack at this point but everyone, not everyone but people are getting frustrated that we are not hearing much of their plan. a second night we didn't hear much of that.

>> they are taking a page from the hope and change playbook of the obama campaign which was very successful but the reason then candidate obama ascended to the presidency on euphemisms and change was the first black president. he was able to galvanize the coalition of people based on feeling and hope that he would accomplish something. many were disillusioned after voting for him the first time. here we are, joe biden's third presidential run and he is hoping to capture the same kind of fairytale unicorn quality of a campaign where he tells you nothing about what he plans to do and he levels now based attacks on his opponent and just makes you feel like he is the

nicest guy. i don't care about he is nice. i don't want someone nice. i want someone who is accomplished, who has an ability to do things for the american people. there is no one else running besides donald trump who can do that. todd: you hear that with trump supporters. the trump campaign suing new jersey governor phil murphy over mail in voting plans, the postmaster general says proposed changes suspended after the election. with regard to the suit, the latest information we have, what happens in the other 49 states if trump wins? >> this is another attempt to alter in the last minute the process by which we elect the president. if we wanted to make major wholesale changes to our voting system that should be something done in between presidential election cycles, not now. the president has to win all of these so that we have the ability to conduct a fair and lawful election this november. early voting begins shortly. we don't have time for this.

jillian: thank you for joining us, appreciate it. todd: a desperate manhunt for the person brutally attacking a man. jillian: police declaring a riot after a fire was set in the county seat of government. the mayor condemning the violence. >> reporter: the video was hard to watch. the search was on. find a man police a viciously attacked the truck driver in downtown portland. police made several attempts to contact marquis's love. there was no success this morning. they are urging love to turn himself in. they believe he is the man seen right there kicking the driver in the head, knocking him unconscious. witnesses tell fox news they believe the driver was hoping to help the transgender woman when the crowd turned on him. police begging for other witnesses to come forward. senator lindsey graham pushing for a federal investigation

tweeting i urge that the permit of justice to pursue prosecution of the perpetrators of this horrific attack after more than 80 days of unrest in portland. mayor ted wheeler responding to the chaos, quote, i denounce all violence including the assaults films and posted to social media. portland attorney joined us earlier. until the city starts prosecuting rioters, denouncing violence. >> if you let this kind of thing happen and it gets worse you are encouraging these worst crimes by not prosecuting the underlying crimes of disorder. >> reporter: democratic leaders remain silent on the violent attacks during night 2 of the dnc. gianna caldwell weighs in at 5:45 on "fox and friends first". jillian: it is 11 minutes after the hour. turning back the clock, night 2 of the dnc featured key players from the obama era. jillian: would be obama

>> that is a problem for me. every part of the world us foreign-policy was in worse shape with president obama left office, better the last four years. it is interesting to come back in and would have to build on foreign policy and security policy that is more successful than they were. jillian: what would they undo that would hurt us? >> not a lot of options. they can't go back to the iran deal. there negatively in iran deal together to. they can't have a china they want because china is very aggressive now. they have to deal with that. they can't reset with russia. that failed. very difficult to say what they will do better except it will be like kindergarten and all the kids in the class will get along. that was essentially the impulse of the obama administration and in every theater it never worked. todd: one of the secretaries of state was john kerry who

criticized the president's foreign-policy decisions. >> when this president goes overseas it is a blooper real. he breaks up with our allies and rights love letters to dictators. todd: is john kerry conveniently ignoring biden's foreign-policy missteps? >> he certainly mischaracterizing this administration. two fundamental criticisms, one is he doesn't deal well with alliances was the realities in every key theater our relationships are stronger. asia, japan, india and others stronger. europe way stronger. nato stronger. the middle east we have peace deals we haven't had a quarter of a century, more allies in the middle east, latin america, brazil, central america relations are stronger. even in africa this administration has built better relationships. every part of the world except

germany and france which are basket cases we have done better and even at the end of the obama administration europeans didn't like obama. alliances are stronger, no question. jillian: what about our military? >> the other criticism is trump is putting us at risk and putting our military at risk. is record on terrorism stronger. soleimani, baghdadi, destroying the caliphate, rebuilding the military after obama gutted it for eight years, no wonder they only gave him 3 minutes because they don't have a record to compare. jillian: thank you for joining us, appreciate your insight. todd: break out the tissues. >> say yes to be my best man. >> you want to be my best man?

>> from the moment donald trump took office he has used his position to benefit himself rather than our country. he has trampled the rule of law trying to rep a nice our justice department to attack his enemies and protect his friends. todd: sally yates used the dnc to accuse donald trump of corruption despite being wrapped

up in the fisa scandal herself. our next guest calls out yates's hypocrisy, assistant attorney general in the doj committal division john malcolm. thanks for being here. wasn't yates, but weapon icing doj herself? >> why, yes. i have known sally yates a long time in the us attorney's office in atlanta, right about the same time colleagues for 7 years and that was a bit rich. i like sally gates but there is no question what is coming out is the justice department and intelligence community and the world's most powerful law enforcement agency, the fbi appear to have been weapon eyes to to go after a political opponent specifically donald trump and members of the trump campaign and they did it by falsifying information to obtain

a warrant to wiretap campaign workers. it is hypocritical of her to say that. whether it happened with her knowledge i can't say but it certainly happened under her watch. todd: ja to tax the travel ban. why? >> don't know if it was a bad strategy as much is shameful and unlawful. the supreme court disagreed with her and upheld the constitutionality of the travel ban. her job at the time as acting attorney general, she seeks that policy or a law is defense a bowl. and if she is offended by a policy or thinks it is a shameful policy she is supposed to resolve it. what she tried to do was say we are not going to do it.

public servants are supposed to serve and protect the constitution and certainly true. public servants don't do that by trying to undermine the love elections the president elected by the people. todd: the senate intel committee, justifying credence of the steel dossier and russia took advantage of donald trump's transition team. even though it was a bipartisan report each side is taking what they want from it what was your big take away? >> there were several. the fbi did not verify the salacious or non-salacious information in the steel dossier that has been out there for a while but it is true the russians did interfere with the election and tried to take advantage of political naïveté of certain newcomers in the trump campaign and paul manafort, dealing with a russian

intelligence operative, a business partner for years doing work on behalf of a russian oligarch and others and that was a point of real vulnerability in the trump campaign. it was something to take away for everybody and let's hope we don't have a repeat of this in 2020 elections beyond. rob: we have the senate report. trying to come up with something, see what he has and if any charges flow from what he finds. we appreciate your time. >> new mandatory evacuations underway as wildfires rapidly spread in california overnight. the rush to get everyone to safety.

of the national border patrol council to brandon judd joins me here. he i think for obvious reasons coronavirus is at the top of every one's mind in this election but immigration is also up there and our bigger role will display? >> year in and year out the american public said they want, always in the top 5 of the issues candidates have to deal with and in the selection candidates have to talk about that. joe biden failed when he was vice president, he failed at that time. if you look at the successes donald trump has had on the border you have to check that box and say he is the candidate who will do the most to secure our borders and secure our communities. jillian: this graphic lays out

the biden harris immigration plan if elected. modernizing america's immigration system. what would that look like? >> i they going to be willing to deport the individuals that are coming into the country illegally? the answer is no, they are not. they are going to put a moratorium on deportations for the first 100 days of his presidency. that will be a magnet that will invite people across the border illegally to escape into our community knowing they will be safe once they get past the border. that is a recipe for disaster that will put a lot of pressure on border patrol agents. jillian: you endorsed donald trump. tell me why? >> i will go back to 2016. on behalf of the men and women of national border patrol council i endorsed donald trump in 2016 on potential. today i am endorsing him based on accomplishments.

we look at this and once people that will step up to the plate, do what is right for the american public and donald trump did that and has done it time in and time out and he will continue doing that and that is the reason we endorse him today. jillian: what do you think he has to do to continue on? >> when you look at border security there are pieces of the puzzle that are separate, you have to put those together, have the proper mixture of technology, manpower, you have to have partners if other countries will help us. that is what i am pleased about donald trump, the pressure he puts on the mexican government to be true border security partners, step up to the plate and help us where we need the help and given us the infrastructure we need, building the wall. i can personally attest to how walls work, in arizona we were arresting 100,000 people a year.

once we built that wall those numbers, less than 20,000. we have to have those things come together to create this picture and that is what donald trump is doing. >> we appreciate it. >> donald trump campaign. violating to invalid votes. the timing is suspicious. >> to make major wholesale changes to the voting system, that is done between presidential election cycle and not now. we don't have time for that. todd: it all comes as postmaster general lewis dejoy says he

the next couple days or at least tropical storms in the next couple days, something we are watching closely. the next two months the most active 2 months in hurricane season so we are just kicking it off even though we have seen so many storms. jillian: thank you. todd: we can call it the best story of the day, amen giving a special surprise to his brother with down syndrome, a message in a bottle that reads in their minnesota backyard. jillian: asking his brother to stand next to him at his wedding. >> will you say yes to be my best man? wants to be my best man? jillian: henry joe jumping into his brother's arms, it has been viewed millions of times.

jillian: the s&p setting its first record high since february raising a historic plunge. jillian: todd: cheryl casone he has more on the remarkable rebound. a lot of people out there are starting to open up those 401(k) statements, now it is okay to look.

>> reporter: it was a lot of fun to see those numbers at 4:00 pm eastern time. 126 trading days for the s&p to recover from bear market territory. the index had a new record, it is now up 4.9% this year. the fastest recovery we have ever seen, big tech leading the way, amazon, halliburton, clorox the big winners. investors still grappling, killed 170,000 people in the us, unemployment at the highest level since the great depression. franklin templeton addressed that fear, americans misperceive the risk of covid-19. they make the point those age 55 and over account for 92% of deaths in this country, 44 and under just 2.7%.

americans don't have a real grip on the true numbers. there is a pandemic, we need to be careful but it was a report they put out. jillian: i love girl scout cookies, not sure about the food, move over, it is over, it can never be over. there is a new girl scout cookie in town. toast will be available next year, dipped in white icing, the package is bright green. and virtual sales with contact less delivery options and set up a digital cookie booth donating to hospital workers. and -- >> i was a campfire girl. >> the important take away by this.

ratzenberger encouraging people to buy stamps for christmas this year. they are easy to buy, easy to wrap, they are worth something. i specifically like this idea if they come with a gift card to a spa or some jewelry or something like this, for a few months down the road. todd: who are you giving that hint to? carley: he may watch later today. jillian: don't you love it when a word leaves your brain? carley: i am the same way. the postal worker, mailman, it happened to me many times. jillian: thanks for saving me. appreciate it, 9 minutes until the top of the our. chicago reels from violent crime including police officers retiring at an alarming rate. carley: where are the city's liberal leaders? giano caldwell ways in next.

todd: for two nights in a row democrats remaining silent on the violent crime surges happening in the many cities they represent. there have been several calls to address systemic racism. jillian: why aren't there calls to denounce the violence? gianno caldwell joins us now. >> good morning. thanks for having me. jillian: of course. increase in percentages of crime

in some of the major cities across the country. chicago up 53% in the last year. fizzle 3philadelphia 31% new yoy 30%. what is it going to take for the leaders to step up and say enough is enough. >> this is one of the most fearful times in america. 49 people shot in 72 hours in new york. in the city of chicago in july there was over 105 murders. not shootings, murders. 28-year high for the city of chicago. you think about the fact that democrats have this major platform the whole world, if you will is watching their convention and they are not mentioning what is on everyone's hearts and finds especially in places like my hometown the city of chicago, which is people dying at alarming rates. there is a pandemic of violence and more than that, there is a pandemic of fear. used to be among the black

residents on the south and west sides of chicago. now everyone seemingly is in fear. the white residents in the most elite areas because it's reached them as well. so, for mayors like mary -- lori lightfoot, this is a time to put politics aside. they make it so political that if you even mention it that it must be a republican talking points. well, that's not what the folks that are coul dying in these cis are saying they are saying oh my god, i may not live tomorrow so i need your help. i need your assistance. whatever can be done. >> this is the problem with the democratic party. instead of addressing the issues head on we don't have to make it about politics. these are lives that matter all of them. talking about the politics of it and how they don't want trump's help more often than not. this is city in serious jeopardy. todd: here is what the dems were focused on at the dnc. take a listen, we need to end systemic racial injustifiable. >> fight systemic racism in the
