since you're heading off to dad... i just got a zerowater. but we've always used brita. it's two stage-filter... doesn't compare to zerowater's 5-stage. this meter shows how much stuff, or dissolved solids, gets left behind. our tap water is 220. brita? 110... seriously? but zerowater- let me guess. zero? yup, that's how i know it is the purest-tasting water. i need to find the receipt for that. oh yeah, you do.

his own spokesman, don junior making the case for his father. >> trump policies like rocket fuel to the economy especially the middle class. biden promised to take the money back out of your pocket and keep it in the forum. that makes sense considering joe biden is the loch ness monster of the swamp. >> reporter: the first lineup included a number of gop stars including us ambassador to the un nikki haley. >> last time joe's boss was obama. this time it would be pelosi, sanders and the squad. their vision for america is socialism, joe biden and the socialist left would be a disaster for our economy. >> reporter: south carolina senator jim scott raising the issue of race in joe biden's record versus his actions.

>> they said he wasn't truly black. his actions take it to a whole new level. look at what he already did and what he didn't do while he has been in washington for 47 years. >> reporter: meanwhile joe biden taking a page from the trump playbook, in a tweet storm saying the only person responsible is donald trump, it didn't happen to be this bad, a graph you see with it. coming up tonight, the second night you will hear from the first lady milania along with eric trump, his son and daughter tiffany and mike pompeo, the first time a sitting secretary of state and several others.

president has done and the contrast between the two policies and the initiative of that. from ambassador haley and senator scott. they able to connect in a way that americans appreciate because they gave it with true passion, personal story, that is what the independent freethinking voter wants to know. that -- what did donald trump do and how has this policy impacted me and was would it be like under a biden administration that would articulate it? jillian: let's talk about vernon jones, lifelong democrat making the case for republicans as the party for everyone. >> i have news for joe biden. we are free, we are free people with free minds. i am part of a large and growing

sentiment of the black community who are independent thinkers and we believe donald trump is the president america needs to lead us forward. >> reporter: how much will that resonate in the african-american community? >> it will resonate quite well because representative jones is a democrat who is not changing his party but still supporting donald trump. he talked about how the cancel culture tried to get him kicked out of office, he knew that something is more important than the mob on the left coming after you. for the black community, those who looked at the speech, i could be connected to my community. i am not black like a joe biden tries to say we weren't because of voter suppression that he engaged in but i can be proud of

what i believe in. still vote for donald trump facts layout by senator scott. a personal connection for a long time with this president, independent-minded freethinking black americans trying to figure out is at donald trump or joe biden? they gave donald trump a first look at the republican party a second look last night and they continue to do so. when we have more black americans say i am proud of my community, in the fight for my community but a champion for the community and i didn't vote for him. jillian: thank you for waking up early. >> thanks for having me. >> sitting buildings and cars on fire clashing with police for the second straight night in kenosha, wisconsin.

cause dangerous, even deadly destruction. people need to be on alert. complete your tasks today because the storm is on its way. category 3 is 111-129 miles per hour. just remember katrina 15 years ago was a category 3 when it made landfall, wiped out portions of the gulf coast. there is your wind field, we are talking a major hurricane the next 24-48 hours, pretty big deal, temperatures in the gulf of mexico very warm. all indications are a strengthening storm as it makes landfall between texas and louisiana. heavy rainfall we could get isolated amounts 10 to 12 inches of rain, storm surge very dangerous, the potential as well for tornadoes and major

>> my speech is centered on law enforcement, border security, the things our president has done to make our country safer. we need to end sanctuary city policies across the country and joe biden would get into office, more mainstream across the country, these sanctuary policies are in place without voter approval and provide refuge for illegal criminals in our country. a scary time for me. our president is in tune with this. i know law enforcement is important to him and we need to back our police officers which i pray every morning the men and women who put their uniforms on keep the nation safe. >> your son brandon, 32-year-old police officer killed in 2014, someone who was drinking and here illegally taking a look at

his face on the screen, take a look at your screen. what do you want people to know about how your life has changed since that moment? >> brandon was the third of my four children and we were very close. we traveled along and had a lot of the same interests. with him gone, a big hole in my heart and a huge part of the community, six years later, getting messages and talking to people to talk about him. he was a modern day -- he knew everybody in the area he patrolled, got rid of illegal drugs and enabled the community to reclaim that park and have a safe haven for their family.

i don't want to this to happen to another american family, angel family collectively across the country speak up. there are thousands of us who dealt with our children's life being cut short and we've got to become more aware of the magnitude of the crimes, there's 500 illegal felons roaming our streets with deportation orders that have not been deported and we have a revolving door at the southern border. i researched it 24/7, i know the people coming over, 15, 16, 26 times and committing crimes, it has to stop. jillian: it is hard every time, look forward to hearing what you have to say, appreciate your time.

todd: 19 after the hour, pfizer seeking approval for its coronavirus vaccine by october. jillian: we will ask doctor nichols have fire who joins us next.

>> i took over the country who is covered on this front, convalescent plasma you saw, remdesivir, we will send vaccines pouring out years ahead of what they would have been. >> donald from celebrating the pharmaceutical establishment in the fight against covid-19 as pfizer confirms their vaccine is

on track for regulatory review in october. medical contributor doctor nichols have fire, good to see you. what does this mean as far as the timeline goes, if something is up for regulatory review in october where are we with timing? >> we have several companies entering phase 2 and 3 of their clinical trials, pfizer being one of them. they said they would be up for regulatory review in october and what that means is we have their phase i data that shows this is safely administered and they are well on their way to phase 2 and 3, 11,000 participants have received the vaccination and are reporting 3.8 times higher antibody response than those with the actual infection alone age 18-55 and those older than that are having one.8 times antibody response which it has proven safe and immunogenic meaning it is able to produce antibodies.

now what we are looking for is how is it able to prevent or lessen the severity of infection and to get that fda approval, that regulatory review they have to prevent or lessen severity of infection in 50% of people. the reason it is possible they can undergo the review in october is we still have widespread community transmission of this virus. a lot of times when you make vaccine it takes longer in this process because there is not as much circulating virus. they are targeting those hotspot areas, it is possible they set out enough participants and data by october, 430,000 people. it is crucial they make sure they are doing the elderly and black, african-american, latino populations if they are vulnerable to covid-19 so we want to make sure those areas are represented in these vaccine trials, we want to make sure the most vulnerable have access to the vaccine and that the vaccine

works in them. jillian: that it is safe and effective for everyone. let's talk about this. new coronavirus testing rules after what happened in new york with the nursing home. let's look at governor cuomo on august 19th. >> if you died in a nursing home it is a nursing home death. if you die in a hospital if it is a hospital death. it doesn't say where were you before. jillian: what are the new rules that are supposed to be put in place? how will this change things, everything that happened in new york that is such a tragedy? >> 60,000 american nursing home residents died from covid-19 that number is likely underestimated and this highlights how poorly we treat our elderly in the united states so what the administration is working on is moving forward. how do we protect our most vulnerable, our nursing home

residents and is revolves around testing and disclosure, making sure if anyone tests positive for covid-19 in a nursing home or exhibits symptoms they are presumed positive, everyone in the nursing home has access to testing, they can get testing. testing recommendations were very restricted when you didn't have as many tests. now that we have a minimal amount of testing and the trump administration under the defense production act has made sure nursing homes across the country have access to point of care testing they want to make sure they are able to diagnose early, quickly able to move patients around so they do not spread across nursing homes like what happened, protect our vulnerable made save lives. jillian: thank you for joining us, good to see you, we will be right back.

>> be careful, be careful, be careful. jillian: breaking news out of kenosha, wisconsin, protesters launching fireworks and water bottles after a second late of violence, the unrest following the shooting of a black man, jacob blake who is in stable condition. buildings and vehicles torched as rioters break a citywide curfew overnight, the permit of corrections building, furniture store completely engulfed, the government deploying the national guard to curb violence, it will remain in effect until 7 am central time. todd: night one in the books, the mainstream media was quick to line up with their criticism of the republican convention. >> we are broadcasting this, it is our responsibility to not unquestioningly broadcast potentially dangerous misinformation. >> he is as he or as his father if not more so to spread lies

and false accusations, complete revisionism when it came to donald trump's empirically mishandling of the pandemic. >> the dnc get the same treatment. beverly hall joins us with her take. good to have you here. what is your reaction to the media reaction? >> reporter: a difference of style of coverage, a lot of analysis throughout the convention or even at the end, focusing on fact checking, whether there was lying going on. you had msnbc with a graphic call reality check so speakers were speaking, correcting the information live. did you see this in the dnc convention? we didn't. i have no problem wanting to report accurately but they

seemed to take it too far with their fact checking. todd: night one did focus on donald trump as the law and order president. charged with defending, and check part of the speech last night. >> they don't view it as protecting citizens from criminals, not a single person in the out-of-control mob was charged with a crime. you know who was, we were. todd: are you worried that under a biden harris presidency our constitutional rights as shown by this case our second amendment rights are at risk. >> absolutely and that is why you see such an increase across this country. this couple has been marked by the left and many in the media, they represent a very legitimate fear that americans have across

the country which is, in your dnc convention if you mention the violence going on cities once why are you going to find for us if we do have violence in our own cities, people see themselves in the mccloskeys, protesters who are violence coming to their neighborhood, will the police actually be there, this is an effective thing for republicans to put out there because the dnc convention did not do that at all. todd: to the mccloskeys a story sway any second amendment democrats to donald trump in those crucial swing states? >> we have to wait and see. they don't always appear as sympathetic in the way they have a large home and seem wealthy, sometimes they have a hard time seeing themselves in that but the message does resonate, definitely red meat for the base but many democrats out there also purchase guns who are

purchasing because they are fearful and it resonates in that regard. >> the next two month will tell the tale. we appreciate your time this morning. jillian: tropical storm laura expected to become a major hurricane as it heads toward the gulf coast. to go marco weakening to oppose tropical cyclone soaking the region overnight. live in new orleans, how they are preparing. >> reporter: they are certainly preparing on lake pontchartrain, one of the most vulnerable spots. on a calm day, you might see 2 or 3 steps that are bone dry. that is not the case right now as you get remnants of marco. we are hearing southwest louisiana could take the brunt of the force, they could have 11 feet of storm surge, texas officials say get out and start to prepare now.

>> residents should be making preparations for landfall as a hurricane. that is what we need to be prepared for. i always said our strategy should never be to hope for the best. we don't have the luxury, the time to prepare his right now. >> reporter: hopefully you have been doing it for days, in southwest louisiana past houston to mississippi, you need to get ready and get ready now according to officials, now is the time. back to you. jillian: thank you. todd: he lived under fidel castro's rule and last night slammed democrat socialist ideas. jillian: the warning from the cuban-american coming up. >> donald trump -- we choose america.

>> taking center stage at the republican national convention with a dire warning about socialism. >> an emotional plea to voters. >> good morning. the republican national convention kicking off last night. one of the highlights was maximo alvarez, founder of sunshine gasoline distributors, he fled cuba at the age of 13 as fidel castro took power. he warned socialist promises made by the democrats are empty promises. >> over our country. you can still hear the sounds of those broken promises, the sound of waves in the ocean carrying

families with children who are willing to risk everything. donald trump, because i choose america. >> also the promise of free healthcare and defund the police sound familiar in the country he was born in is totally destroyed. big moment last night. >> bill diblasio has a grim suggestion for restaurants and diners, bill diblasio, restaurants in the city for indoor dining may not open until 2021 amid mounting pressure from all sides especially small businesses in the city, suggesting those restaurants may not open until next year. friday, no plan to open restaurants inside despite the fact new york state has low

coronavirus numbers, a 66 positivity rate in new york state. 25,000 restaurants using outdoor space. this is going to devastate the restaurant industry and think about all those workers coming to new york city. >> unless your restaurant has the backing of a wealthy person, you are not going to survive this. >> that is no one in this city. all those folks in the hamptons right now, it will be a different story. jillian: major cities. >> us marine with a different

kind of patriotic gear, signing a deal with the new england patriots as a tight end. todd: the defensive end of the naval academy, joined the marines after graduating and put his football career on four years to serve our country. after being a marine the coaching of bill belichick will not seem that harsh. jillian: we will see. a retired nfl star, facing cause at the rnc. support for donald trump on the kneeling that is consumed around the world. where you live has never mattered more. for over 100 years, realtors® have brought local knowledge and deep expertise to helping people find new places to dream and thrive. the next great place you'll call home. so, whether you're upsizing downsizing or just ready to make a change. look for the r.

>> hello, welcome aboard, coming up on "fox and friends" in 13 minutes, you know that nice one of the rnc is in the books, some

speakers from last night include un ambassador nikki haley who says she could run for president next time. what a powerful speech by to senator tim scott of south carolina. steve scalise have strong words as did jim jordan, the ohio congressman and sean parnell, they all delivered their messages to voters last night. this morning they will join us live. we will get analysis of what we saw last night and what the republicans need to do tonight and tomorrow and thursday, newt gingrich, karl rove, donna brazile, we have a busy three hours kicking off 13 minutes from now on the channel you trust for your morning news. now back to todd and jillian for the conclusion of "fox and friends first". >> ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters for freedom and

liberty and the american dream, the best is yet to come. >> kimberly guilfoyle's speechmaking waves online. todd: is that what i sound like? i yell a lot. serious xm 115, carley shimkus here with reaction. carley: maybe a lower tone to your voice but other than that about the same, she delivered a lot of passion in that speech, people at home took note. on twitter, she said it for people in the back, just saying i had to lower the volume on the tv. kimberly described the election as a battle for the soul of america and described republicans as the party that build things up rather than burns things down so with that on the line no surprise she wanted to bring fire and enthusiasm to her speech. heather: accomplished that was one of the most powerful speeches came from one of the

most powerful runners in the nfl. >> love and respect the flag, our national anthem and our country doesn't mean they don't care about social justice. i care about all those things, so does donald trump. >> herschel walker is a you can support our country and social justice at the same time, doesn't have to be an either/or. important message according to south carolina senator lindsey graham. take a listen. >> i want people to hear what herschel walker said about donald trump. we don't make a commercial out of what herschel walker said about the president, his political malpractice. jillian: political malpractice was walker and donald trump, the president purchased a new jersey general, and knows what racism looks like, donald trump is not it. >> he had a powerful message.

todd: an american city and flames as riots erupted following the police shooting of jacob blake. jillian: a powerful message on race, law and order and the american dream, doctor ben carson joins us with his take on the rnc and unrest. i'm making sandwiches!

on king's hawaiian bread! yum! king's hawaiian.

>> fox news alert, chaos in kenosha, wisconsin as writers set buildings and cars on fire. >> doctor ben carson. >> a pleasure to be with you. it is quite troubling as we look at the these things going on. i was in detroit in 1967. you can still see the vestiges of that and people need to recognize when people come into the communities from outside and destroy things those are not your friends or people who are helping you. they are destroying your opportunities, people have to start thinking a little more. let the system work. the situation with the police

officers in kenosha will be investigated and information will be available and may be let's see if the system works. there has been more attention to police brutality and things that are unjust, there needs to be attention to things that sometimes appear different. let the facts come out. jillian: there is still so much about what happened sunday evening, the investigation is underway. before we find out all the facts we are seeing places and american cities burning. how do we change that from happening? >> notice the cities that are permissive, they -- the sanctuary cities.

this is the same thing that would happen. if you are raising a child, what kind of child do they become? we need to have law and order. it is important for people to feel safe in their neighborhoods, saving their businesses, to start a business in a place that is going to be burned down by rioters with nobody doing anything about it. this is antithetical to the whole concept of individual freedom, entrepreneurship, innovation in this country and if we don't stop it it will just continue to magnify. todd: senator tim scott's speech is getting a lot of attention. >> our family, from cotton to congress in one lifetime.

there are millions of families just like mine across this nation fool of potential seeking to live the american dream, supporting the republican ticket gives you the best chance of making that dream a reality. todd: putting aside your role in the administration for a moment, how do those words make you feel as a black american? >> i can remember as a 9-year-old sitting on the ghetto stairs in boston looking through the building across the street, all the windows had been broken but there was a sunbeam shining through that made me think about my future and i remember feeling you will never live to be 20 years old because that is what i saw around me and yet my mother made me start reading books and i started recognizing the person who had the most to do with what happened to you is you. i started studying, became a brain surgeon, he became a

rocket scientist. america still allows that to happen but you have to be leave and put forth the effort to achieve what your dream is and all of us need to put in place those letters of opportunity that allow that to happen and that is going on now. you see $75 billion brought in, expected to be $100 billion, we are 2 quarters of the way there and wonderful things happening all over, opportunities to look at the best practices, every place around this country is benefiting. todd: let's talk about those opportunity zones. what would they do to the suffering we are seeing in these cities across the country? >> they are already providing job opportunities, designating a place an opportunity zone

increases the property values by one.one% for the half of people in opportunity zones who own homes, their net worth has gone up $11 billion so this is the kind of thing the president is trying to do with a rising tide floats and lifts all boats is what we are talking about. jillian: 30 seconds left in the segment. talking about opportunity zones, stories like we did from tim scott last night. do you think these words resonate in the black community. >> there are a lot of black people thinking for themselves and looking and seeing what is happening and recognizing this is an opportunity for us all to thrive and survive, not listening to the purveyors of hatred and division which will destroy this country if we listen to them. todd: powerful words this morning following powerful words last night at the rnc.

appreciate your time. thank you so much. jillian: set your dvr to start every morning with "fox and friends first". todd: we have covered a lot in two hours on "fox and friends first". "fox and friends" takes the next three hours, it begins right now. >> four more years. four more years. >> we are here tonight to talk about the great american story. this land of promise and opportunity. heroes and greatness. we see the choice clearly. strength or weakness. energy or confusion. success or failure. >> we want safety in our neighborhood. we want a chance to get ahead not just get by. that's what president trump promised and that's what president trump delivers. >> he never stops. he leaves nothing on the field. some people don't like his style, but that's how you get the job done. >> democratic party does not want black people to leave their mental plantation. i have news for joe biden. we are free people with free
