>> i accept this nomination for president of the united states of america. american darkness for too long. >> the last four years we have been reversing biden's contrails and delivering historic winds. >> all elections are important. we know this one is more consequential. >> a second term in office we will create 10 million jobs in the next year. we will appoint prosecutors,

judges and justices who believe in the wool of law, not the will of that horrible mob. >> if you entrust me with the presidency i will draw on the best of us, not the worst. >> between the american dream and total insanity. >> this is a battle we will win and we will do it together. >> we are going to win this and i think we when it very big, a victory that will equal or surpass what we did in 2016. >> setting the stage for a fierce fight for the white house donald trump and joe biden trading jabs as biden formally accept the democratic nomination for president. todd: thanks for starting your friday morning with us, a night of praise for the former vp painted as a family man of strong character. he and the president face-off heading into november.

>> joe biden has waited 32 years to give that speech, no one in 1 million years would have thought he would do it in a nearly empty hallway after a week of a totally virtual convention but he met the challenge down to unite the country saying donald trump's first term put america in darkness. >> i will be an ally of the light, not the darkness. united, we can and will overcome this season of darkness. we will choose hope over fear, facts over fictional, fairness overprivileged. >> hard to overstate how much the democrat party platform has shifted since 1988 when biden first ran but biden took on donald trump on one of his strong fronts on the economy and jobs. >> my economic plan is all about jobs, dignity, respect and community.

together we can and will rebuild our economy and when we do we will not only build back but better. for the best jobs of the 21st century. >> afterwards biden was joined outside the chase center with his family along with kamala and her husband and socially distanced supporters celebrity menominee, donald trump firing back nearby's hometown of pennsylvania. >> we will create 10 million jobs in the next year. we will hire more police. we will ban sanctuary cities, we will appoint prosecutors, judges and justices who believe in the rule of law, not the rule of that horrible mob you get to watch on television. we will build and expand our energy infrastructure to a level that is even greater than what we have right now. >> later he called into hannity

and took to twitter saying in 47 years joe did none of the things of which he now speaks, he will never change, just words, next of the rnc starts monday in charlotte. there will be some delicate processes we will see but we do know donald trump intends to give his speech at the white house in washington. we will have to see. here comes another week. do it all over again next week. shannon: what did voters think of joe biden's address? todd: how did biden do? >> the videos they played last night made him come across as very empathetic and ethical, didn't put any policy ideas out at all. the entire night was about biden's character. if you are watching and learning about joe biden for the first time he came across very

positively. a 13-year-old kid helps teach to fix his stutter and things like that of that nature but the interesting thing is he put his family front and center. it does the character reference it reveals a weakness for something that has been covered a lot but we haven't heard about lately, hunter biden was featured prominently. hunter biden, one of joe biden's sons took a 50,$000 per month role with burisma, ukrainian company and while that seems interesting on its own merit because he never worked in energy before at the same time joe biden started to go after the top prosecutor in ukraine, prosecuting the guy who ran berries lower hunter biden was serving on the board. there are big ethical questions the president's team will be

attacking all day. shannon: let's bring in democratic strategists to join this conversation. as we bring you both in let's take a listen to one of the swipes joe biden took at donald trump last night. >> i will be a democratic candidate, i will be an american president. i will work hard for those who didn't support me and that is the job of a president, to represent all of us, not just our base or our party. >> numbers also tell an interesting story. polls can change. this is during the nbc, trump and biden now tides in minnesota which is a battleground state. the interesting thing is three weeks ago joe biden was a three points, two weeks ago up three points and then 13 points in july. things are definitely tightening. what is your reaction to that? >> joe biden delivered an

incredibly strong speech, connected with the american people, but the where they are, met their anxiety, their pain, he was hopeful and optimistic about the future. donald trump has failed as a leader, the worst american president in history, joe biden and kamala harris will be elected in november and that is the way it is. jillian: your reaction to the numbers in the polls, i prefaced this by saying polls change, they are changing in favor of the president. >> you will see a bump in joe biden's numbers after the convention and what we have seen, the president has gone up and down slightly but never reaches out to anybody outside his base. his base is not enough for him to win and that is what we will see. the numbers across the country, far behind joe biden in places

like texas. the map is shrinking for donald trump and every single day as we get closer to the election. todd: how big a bump will biden get from the >> what do you make of the closing by the president? >> we started at 11:00 pm last night. i don't think many people were watching. if you look at the ratings for the entire convention they were pretty low. we will see if the rnc does better but the convention has been a bust so i don't expect much of a bump. the polls are tightening and to the point about the worst president ever, these poll numbers are obviously bad for him, we all heard this stuff four years ago the trump was going to lose and i was thinking the same thing but he surprised us on election day in the polls are showing a lot tighter in

places like minnesota and if minnesota is in play a lot of states are in play. i don't think this election is over by any means and polls are tightening and this will be a close election. jillian: thank you for joining us, appreciate it. >> police firing rubber bullets. jillian: police asking for witnesses to come forward, a violent attack on a truck driver, the suspect is still on the run. where is the investigation going? >> reporter: portland police are asking for your help tracking down a witness to the brutal attack. this man may have been in contact with marquis love before the assault. they are asking anyone who knows him to come forward. love is accused of kicking that truck driver in the head and knocking him unconscious. police made several attempts to

contact him with no luck. the crackdown on violent offenders comes after 80 nights of protest in the city. officers releasing an alarming timeline of crime in the last two months, 17 times in almost 80 days, 500 arrests have been made but as the demand for police increase local business owners say they feel abandoned, toy store owner billy galaxy says it took hours to respond after his store was burglarized two nights in a row. >> i am not their number one priority but i am my number one priority, this is all over portland, people suffering from covid-19. >> reporter: donald trump claiming lack of law and order will get worse if biden wins in november. >> if you want a vision of your life hunter biden's presidency think of the smoldering ruins in

minneapolis, the violent anarchy of portland, the blood stained sidewalks of chicago. imagine the mayhem coming to your town and every single town in america. >> reporter: a harrowing attack caught on camera, retired police sergeant assaulted and robbed on the ground in broad daylight. several people just watching a. the big apple has seen a steep rise in crime. according to the nypd this past june was the deadliest and most violent in 24 years with 205 shooting incidents. jillian: 11 after the hour. the moment the fly. >> how can you help joe? supersimple. if you can vote early in your state please do so. early vote. >> democrats pushing early voting before the debate.

a strategy to lock up support. is this all biden gets? next. well, force factor prostate helps reduce urges to urinate, plus fully empty your bladder and promote a normal prostate size. don't settle. choose force factor prostate, from the #1 fastest-growing men's health brand at walmart.

>> they've gone stone cold crazy. joe biden is a puppet of the radical left movement that seeks to destroy the american way of life. >> the president take no responsibility, refuses to lead, cozies up to dictators, fans the flame of hate and division. >> donald trump and joe biden going after 5 in dueling speeches but which message will resonate with americans. >> the president of the black foundation live. gloves are off, jabs being at on

both sides, reaction from both of them. >> yesterday was an interesting day. pretty much bashing the president and his response to covid-19, makes you wonder if covid-19 didn't happen was what they have to say? todd: on the left and the right, praising biden's delivery. is everyone placing the bar low, running for the highest office in the land? >> he got through the speech, something they are raising, it was not actionable lead -- it was sad when the actual speakers before the main speakers, more exciting than the main speakers.

the biden campaign, they get through the speech without any gaffes. >> what is your reaction to early voting, if that is going to be the case, perhaps we should debate sooner. where do you stand on that? >> 16 states vote before the first deviated everyone deserves to hear from both candidates, it is fair we move the debate up so that every voter can hear from both candidates and hear from both candidates on policy who actually can stand a chance to be the president. >> a lot of democrats we heard last night had a different message, take a listen. >> how can you help joe? super simple, vote.

if you can vote early please do so. >> sabotage our right to vote, sabotaging democracy. todd: the undercurrent is the pandemic. i democrat using it as a precursor to get people to vote early prior to these debates? >> they are definitely using the pandemic to get people to vote early and using it to get out of the reason joe biden cannot debate against donald trump. he cannot stand it, he will not survive a debate with donald trump and they are trying to get as many people to get their vote before the first debate. todd: appreciate your time, great insights, have a great day. jillian: debates will be interesting. it is 18 after the hour. bernie sanders not pleased the dnc features republicans more than progressives. todd: does the party have a progressive problem?

jillian: welcome back. steve bannon released on $5 million bail after pleading not guilty to wire fraud and money laundering charges. eric agents arrested him on a luxury yacht off connecticut's coast. federal prosecutors indicted a former white house advisor and 3 others for allegedly defrauding donors in a $25 million fundraiser to build the border wall. bannon is accused of funneling $1 million from a nonprofit and using it on personal expenses. todd: lori laughlin and her husband will be tested in a college admission scandal, calling for her to serve 2

months behind bars at her husband 5 months, they will be set for hearings, the couple pleaded guilty to paying half $1 million in bribes to get their daughters into usc. jillian: bernie sanders clearing up confusion about his nomination from aoc and addressing far left disappointed by the lack of progressive voices at the dnc. >> not understanding what happens at the convention. if you question, alexandria and others receive more time, i do think so absolutely. todd: carley shimkus has online reaction to the progressive problem. carley: a major topic of conversation was the fact that alexandria ocasio cortez only got a minute to speak and when she did she nominated bernie

sanders. there was a lot of confusion surrounding that. sanders is clearing that up saying it is totally customary for the primary runner-up to be formally nominated at the dnc and he asked her to be one of the people to do that for him. he is also saying the dnc didn't invite her to speak at all. he gave her that airtime and he is upset with the dnc for inviting more republicans to speak them progressive voices. ocasio cortez is upset with nbc news for misleading tweet pointing out she did not endorse joe biden, that was not her intended purpose of speaking, she posted a tweet saying waited several hours to correct your obvious misleading tweet, sparked enormous amount of hatred and vitriol and the misinformation is circulating on other networks generating hate clicks from a pre-recorded routine procedural motion.

the most interesting thing is the dnc didn't give her that 60 seconds. it was bernie sanders. todd: she does have a point. going back to the dnc, big event that stole bloomberg's thunder. >> an unwanted visitor during michael bloomberg's was a fly landed on his face as he was criticizing donald trump. this happens more than you would think because of fly also landed on hillary clinton's faced during one of the presidential debates, the magic of life tv. this was a pre-recorded speech, someone should have watched the tape a little closer. so gross. does this happen to all of us? todd: is this a convention deal? get back to us. carley: i am on it.

todd: four nights at the dnc no violence in our major cities. >> they don't want to talk about police because it is a losing subject. they want to defund the police and abolish police. jillian: are democrats sweeping it under the rug? our law enforcement panel is live to react.

>> if you interest me with the presidency i will draw on the best of us, not the worst with great honor and humility. i accept the nomination for president of the united states of america. todd: joe biden and his wife jill and kamala harris and her husband submitting fireworks tapping off the dnc, the solution coming hours after donald trump was in pennsylvania. trump using the event to slam his former vp.

biden would terminate this unprecedented recovery, cause a permanent lockdown, a socialist takeover of the us economy. lock it down. >> blaming the president for stoking anger and division. as we get closer to november mark levin shares this warning biden takes the white house. >> if they win on november 3rd everything about your country is going to change for the worse. america will not look like america again. we tried these field experiments throughout europe, tried them throughout the third world, you get poverty, dislocation, massive inequality, you get a police state, that is what they stand for, that is it. todd: the woman accusing joe biden of sexual assault speaking out as he accepts the democratic

presidential nomination. tara reid saying sexual assault survivors are disappointed in the democratic party. >> we are being translated. they are pretending they are upholders of me too, people involved with the party perpetrated themselves. >> reporter: read claims biden assaulted her when working in the senate office in 1993. biden denies all these things. >> the dnc wrapped with joe biden accepting the presidential nomination and without a single mention of the violence throughout our country. donald trump thinks he knows why. >> you see portland and new york with 350% increase in crimes, you see what is going on in chicago. it was a losing subject for them. they want to defund the police, they want to abolish police. jillian: what will it take for

democrats to address the unrest and why it is so important for them to? joining me live is retired nypd lieutenant joe cardinal. thank you for being here. joe, i will start with you. why are we not hearing much about it, we didn't hear about it at all this week? >> they hide behind the cover of their real agenda. they have no desire to put this on the front page, this is really what it is all about and that is not what their agenda is. they have their tunnel vision and will proceed the way they've been proceeding like it never happened and hundreds of americans are getting assaulted and it is going to continue and get worse because their main objective is that white house and they will take it at any cost. jillian: on one hand it is going on in a lot of major cities

across the country, for people who need to hear the messaging about the violence and what is going on this impacts far beyond the city where this is happening, it does impact suburban voters. a lot of people who live in suburbs, restaurants, their kids might be going into the city, this does extends beyond the city. >> absolutely. i want to say something as well. as a democrat not every democrat is afraid to call out violence when they see it. perpetrators when it happens, like many politicians have become so accustomed to blaming some amorphous social issue as opposed to the demons in our own neighborhood. i made it part of my career to address that knowing it is not popular. an interesting result, brought

more people to the camp who have a sense that we have to protect our neighborhoods and cities and have to end this perception that violence has no warriors standing against it. >> point taken but why are we not hearing much about this at the dnc? >> i'm disappointed we did not address this was we cannot ignore a certain amount of lawlessness across the country. social justice are good things but when co-opted by individuals organizing agitation for twisted different agenda we have to call that out too. losing political points because the far extremists are trying to co-opt this moment.

jillian: there is new video, looking at increases in homicides across the country, new video release of new york police officer, this happened last tuesday. you see it right here. this is at a deli on west 30 ninth street in manhattan, what is your reaction? >> this is what you get when you have the leadership of bill diblasio, a blind eye to what is going on between bail reform, the da office in manhattan. what do you expect is going to happen, not just a retired sergeant but everybody in new york city has 2 punch them in the face and out the next day, somebody sympathizes with the

far left agenda and this is what i've been saying, coming to a city near you, across america. he stands up but he is the exception to the rule in this. nothing is being says across democratic lines that will support law enforcement and that being said -- >> i don't live in manhattan. i live outside the city, they are afraid to walk down the street in daylight and philadelphia, in cities like chicago, where do we go from here. >> we have to stop demonizing each other, to protect the citizenry.

the legitimacy of law enforcement, recognizing 99% of the people who put on the uniform every day do their job well and respectively, we have to move forward, to know there is a better way than pointing fingers and try to demonize the other for political gain. jillian: appreciate you joining us. todd: the fbi offering a reward in the case of a missing mother, layla was last seen at a gas station in hollywood, florida. her 2-year-old son found hours later wandering around an apartment parking lot, police charging which doctor shannon ryan. fbi agents searching dumpsters at the gas station work habits was last seen every worker told them there were children's toys.

the department of justice reinstating the death penalty for the boston marathon bomber. djoksr tsarnaev was convicted, victims and families of justice was not served. william barr said the doj will appeal that ruling. jillian: postmaster general lewis dejoy will testify answering questions amid accusations the trump administration is trying to halt the usps to hinder meal in voting, a series of changes meant to save money for the postal service, $25 billion into the postal service. in an exclusive fox news interview sean hannity blasted the democrats claiming they are the ones trying to steal the election. >> now they are talking about sending 51 million ballots out

to anybody, nobody knows who is going to get them. it is a horrible thing, a fraudulent election. everybody knows it. you don't have to know politics to know it. 51 million ballots will be indiscriminately sent out to people who didn't ask for them. i just got a ballot, let me vote. it is a terrible thing. they are trying to steal the election. jillian: house oversight committee pushing to have the postmaster general testify. congressman fred keller on the committee joins us in the next hour. todd: the race to develop a vaccine for covid-19 nearing the homestretch. johnson & johnson adopting the largest ever vaccine trial. it begins next month, 60,000 people will be involved in that trial, double the number in similar trials. donald trump hopeful a vaccine will be ready by november. aren't we all? tim mcgraw surprised by special album.

take a look. ♪ jillian: that is cute. that is awesome. celebrating mcgraw's new album release here on earth with a family listening party instead of the usual release party, writing in her heartfelt post, they listen to their albums with their daughter. 20 minutes until the top of your, tough talk against the president during the dnc. >> they have a coward in chief, joe biden would never that tyrants manipulate him like a puppet. todd: doctor rebecca grant breaks down the president's record on the world stage, looks different from fred keller. we will get that change. ♪

jillian: russian doctors say they found no evidence alexi v novalni was poisoned, his condition approved overnight. the spokesperson says poison was put in his tea making him sick on a flight to moscow. the plane made an emergency landing. todd: a search underway, another fort hood searcher in texas, elder fernandez has not been seen since monday when a staff sergeant dropped him off at his home. all of his belongings, never picked up the keys to his apartment after two soldiers who disappeared were found dead near the base. jillian: military veteran,

critical of the current administration. >> they have a coward in chief. joe biden would never let tyrants manipulate him like a puppet. he would never turn his back on our troops or threatened them against americans peacefully exercising their constitutional right. todd: is that a fair assessment of the president's foreign-policy? we are asking national security expert doctor rebecca grant, always a pleasure to have you on the show. let's look at trump's foreign-policy record. facing down china in the south china sea, arms control talks with russia, eliminating isis in iraq, taliban peace deal negotiation and israel and the united arab emirates, us withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal and letting terrorists and soleimani. with that as a backdrop is duckworth's criticism justified. >> way off the mark, donald

trump particularly with china and iran staked out strong positions with china, started a reset that needed to be done and with iran we've seen events in the last few days prove that he is right to push for a better deal and particularly for controls on ballistic missiles in iran. jillian: you don't have to guess what our foreign-policy would be like under joe biden because we did get a glimpse of that as he was vice president under barack obama. how do you feel about four years of that if he were to get elected? >> going back to the obama biden policy is opening a pandora's box of problems without the hope, the obama administration left us in a bad position, in

the middle east. donald trump has quite a bit to turn that around. i am concerned biden would cut defense spending at a time we see russia and china being more aggressive and we see russia and china in a new battleground, the united nations themselves. i don't see a biden susan rice team strong enough to take on the military problems and a very intricate diplomatic and trade problem china and others are sending us. todd: china, russia and iran come to a head in the next topic. intensified over the snap back order uneconomic sanctions. tell us what a snapback is. allows an individual participant to restore un sanctions on

tehran should it be in violation of the deal. this is the iran deal the united states came out of under the trump administration. did mike pompeo have any choice but to step back like we did? >> he had no choice because an important embargo, and resonator defenses, for security council couldn't do it. i was appalled and we can see from iran's actions to keep the conventional embargo in place, to add the snapback mechanism, it is justified because iran has been producing too much nuclear material for over a year.

jillian: appreciate your insight. thank you for joining us. todd: joe biden's faith taking center stage. >> a proper political tool -- >> did he connect with religious voters? we ask pastor mark little next. aren't sweats. find your friends. find your sense of wander. find the world is new, again. at chevy we'd like to take you there. now during the chevy open road sales event, get up to 15% of msrp cash back on select 2020 models. that's over fifty-seven hundred dollars cash back on this equinox. it's time to find new roads, again.

>> i have known joe 30 years and seen his faith in action. joe knows the power of prayer and i've seen it in moments of joy and triumph and loss and despair. todd: chris coons throwing one more hail mary for joe biden as he looks for the backing of a

faith community. a lot of talk about faith this week. how that resonate with religious voters? joining me as pastor mark little. donna brazile called the biden speech a church sermon. with that as a backdrop does biden seem to be making in roads with evangelicals? >> he has a long road. i heard senator coons, i heard what he said. he said joe biden's faith was inspired by the dignity of all people made in the image of god and went on to say people, this is about the world, a world of lesser suffering and more justice. mister biden has a problem because it is what he is not saying. what he's not saying is he's taken on radical views about

abortion and put senator harris on the ticket and double down on his views. the reality is one of the greatest evangelists of our time, billy graham, we have to take up the cross, the cross isn't a fence because you have to live out your convictions. joe biden left his convictions at the front door after he settled up with barack obama he left his convictions at the door and became a coward. what i know is even transparently found that margaret's finger was a racist and eugenicists and joe biden has agreed to federally fund planned parenthood that i call planned murderhood. he promised to codify roe v wade. he has promised to repeal the

hyde amendment and mexico city policies that will allow taxpayer-funded abortion. these are the things joe biden is not telling the voters. todd: i want to get one more question. you pointed out the difference that exists with biden as a practicing catholic, abortion not real big in the catholic faith and kamala harris very pro-abortion. do you see religion swaying the black vote in swing states where that vote could make the difference as to who is in the white house next year? >> no doubt about it. there are 21 million pro-life democrats, since by reverend martin bear that out. the democrat party as a crisis of god. in 2012 a.

placing god back on the platform and the democratic caucus taking god out of the pledge of allegiance. the dog community is a faith community. 7% of the black community our churchgoers. they have a problem. >> we will have you back to talk about this issue that will be big the next few months. coming up in the next hour of "fox and friends first," i in see deputy communications director kathy smedley, brett keller and lee carter. jillian: first responders in new york will soon be out of a job. blasting bill diblasio for balancing the budget on their back, joining us live.

>> i accept this nomination for president of the united states of america. the current president has courted american darkness for too long. >> the last four years we've been reversing biden's trials and delivered historic winds. >> all elections are important but we know in our bones this one is more important. >> in a second term in office we will create 10 million jobs in the next year. we will appoint
