>> the prayers of so many. >> america is the torch that enlightens the entire world. it was a heart full of gratitude and optimism. i profoundly accept this nomination for president of the united states. ♪ ♪ in american hands ♪ we will help you party ♪ we are in american band jillian: regardless what side you are on, whatever your opinion is you look at this and that is just beautiful. todd: juan williams now fan of the president said this was the

greatest fireworks display he had ever seen. look at that. jillian: you are watching "fox and friends first" on friday. todd: no fireworks today, we will send you to your weekend. the land of greatness, the rnc indicates light with fireworks over the washington monument. jillian: donald trump accepting the republican nomination at the white house. todd: the attacks on joe biden. >> reporter: the fourth of july called and they are jealous of that fireworks display. that was something, the president accepting the renomination, probably the best is yet to come but warned of a future under joe biden. >> biden is weak. he takes his marching orders

from liberal hypocrites who drive their cities into the ground while fleeing far from the scene of the wreckage, they want to open our borders while living in waldorf compounds in communities, want to defund the police while they have armed guards for themselves. >> reporter: he gave the speech on the south with 1000 supporters sitting in chairs, sitting close and not wearing masks. he highlighted his coronavirus response, a law and order message. >> as long as i am president will defend the right of every american citizen to live in security, dignity and peace. if the democrat party wants to stand with anarchists, agitators, rioters, looters and flag burners that is up to them but i as your president will not be part of it. >> the president was introduced by his daughter ivanka, making the case for another four years including alice marie johnson

who viewed the president that way. >> i was told the only way i would ever be reunited with my family would be in the courts but by the grace of god and the compassion of donald john trump i stand before you tonight and assure you i am not a ghost. i am alive. and most importantly i am free. >> reporter: the biden campaign responding, kamala harris had this rebuttal. >> donald trump has failed at the most basic and important job of a president of the united states. he failed to protect the american people. plain and simple. >> major twitter storm from joe biden. more than a dozen tweets in real

time, you won't be safe and joe biden's america, look around and ask yourself how safety of feeling donald trump's america? protesters took to the streets, senator rand paul surrounded by an angry mob, thinking dc police for making sure he was escorted out and was unharmed so now it is all over. what is next? the president will head to manchester, new hampshire to deliver remarks, an organized march in dc later this morning. >> thank you very much. >> lindsey graham said the president used to speech well to draw a stark contrast between him and the left. >> laid out the clearest choice that a free people will ever have between the two candidates,

unapologetic deal of america, the greatest country on earth. we will keep it that way. law and order versus chaos, private-sector versus the government. if you are looking for a choice donald trump gave you one. >> joining us is giano caldwell, thanks for being here. last week we heard about the growing democrat tend. did it grow last night? >> last night, this week was about attracting new voters. republicans provided inclusiveness. you've seen many african-americans with testimonies about the trump policy and donald trump in addition to the fact they spoke to issues, milania trump talked about the coronavirus, families impacted by it.

you saw don junior who talked safety and security from rioting and looting which many americans are uncomfortable with and concerns they may be attacked was a friend of mine is a white american who supports the black lies matter movement who called me one day and said he is concerned because he's white but he may be attacked and that the feeling a lot of americans feel so democrats looked at the rnc this week, the republican national convention and talk to themselves, the message is resonated beyond the republican side. >> i want to talk about what happened with senator rand paul in the video we played a second ago, you have protesters surrounding him after the convention. let's take a listen to this.

>> we must never allow mob rule. in the strongest possible terms the republican party condemns the rioting, looting, arson, and violence we have seen in democrat run cities all like kenosha, minneapolis, portland, chicago and new york. jillian: that was prior to this happening. this mob surrounding rand paul, going to his hotel. on both sides you have this -- it is frustrating when you are outside looking in. you have a mob surrounding republicans like rand paul happening all over the place, athletes across the country saying you are not listening to me speaking about black lives matter, just seems like people are not listening to one another. everyone is so forceful in their message they are trying to get across and in the forcefulness

nothing is being productive or happening or heard. how do we change what is happening right now? >> there is some legitimacy to the argument of police brutality and police misconduct. senator tim scott has legislation that dick durbin of illinois referred to, sponsored by senator tim scott was rejected by democrats because it is a wage issue for the election. this was an opportunity for democrats and republicans to work together for the benefit of all americans, certainly democrats didn't allow for that opportunity. the only way to solve america's issues is to sit together not as ideologues and have an ideologue fight between democrat and republican and be each other's check but listen to each other and get something done.

we can't do that unless everyone is willing to work together. you talk about tim scott who has been racially profiled 12 times even in the state capital and on the left, we can't solve the issues of the day until we can sit together and that will be a continuous thing if we don't set out. >> 3 months since the killing of george floyd, where are those sitdowns? we appreciate your time. november 4th, it will happen. appreciate your time, rand paul will be on "fox and friends" later. >> let's talk about this, 700,000 without power after

laura lashed the deep south as a category 4 hurricane. before and after photos showing in louisiana. >> laura causing flooding and a tornado in arkansas turning into a tropical depression. >> janice dean is tracking the latest. >> the storm is weakening but will bring risk for strong wind heavy rainfall and even tornadoes around the center of circulation but the national hurricane center were right on with their forecast, they are saving lives. i want a shout out to them. this forecast five days out was almost perfect. really incredible. computer models were showing a turn towards houston and stayed steadfast in their forecast. truly thank you to the national hurricane center. there is the history of the storm. it was a category for, one of the strongest in the gulf coast. now is weakening depression, 30

miles per hour and we expected to become extratropical as it moves across the ohio valley and the mid-atlantic. there is the track, still going to pack a punch, some areas could receive a few wind gusts and severe weather around the storm. heavy rainfall. keep that in mind is not only the risk for severe weather because of the system but a frontal boundary across the midwest and great lakes will bring the risk for severe storms as well so keep that in mind. we haven't talked about the wildfires across the west. it continues with more hot temperatures, dry conditions and thunderstorms which could spark more wildfire danger. we watch all those stories, the tropics are a little quiet. jillian: 12 minutes after the hour. are democrats losing faith in joe biden? >> i don't think there should be any debate. i wouldn't legitimize a

conversation with him. todd: that was something else, speaker pelosi sounds like she's having second thoughts about a biden trump debate but what does biden think? that is next. i like liberty mutual. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. what do you think? i don't see it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

jillian: there are people who don't like donald trump because of his tweets and his approach to things but the message tried to get across last night especially from ivanka trump is look at the record. do you think that resonated? >> i think it did, this convention was all about the record. there was a ton of policy and more importantly how policy impacted real lives across america and that was very effective. i do think the president's style attracts people to his campaign, some people to his campaign because it allows him to go around the media and we know oftentimes that message gets distorted in the media so he doesn't allow it to get around the media but most effective when he is focusing on real results, the impact on real people and making that case they are only attacking him to get to americans, to get to his supporters and that is more

effective case when he tweets about media figures or things that have to do with his ego or something someone said about him personally, those -- the american people and how people are attacking trump to get to them. the communication style is quite effective. todd: nancy pelosi saying joe biden should cancel his debates with the president, joe biden saying i don't want to do that. >> they continue down the straight and narrow, i will debate him and be a fact checker. everybody knows this man is a pathological tendency not to tell the truth. todd: what do you make of this inconsistent messaging from the dems? >> pelosi is worried about putting joe biden against donald

trump on the debate stage. an unusual debate style but the primaries in 2016 was effective against hillary clinton on the debate stage, there are questions about joe biden's -- you wants to put those to rest as a way to do that to stand up on the debate stage but it is unusual pelosi would say openly like that, testing the waters to see how voters react to joe biden refusing to debate. jillian: people want more debates. because of mail in voting is what we are up against this year. thank you, appreciate it. it wisconsin machine shop owner praising the president for taking on china during last night's convention. >> actually cared about bringing back made in america.

to tell the nation your story? >> i have said before that i wanted to make a difference and this was my opportunity to talk about what donald trump's policies have done and how it contributed to our current success. jillian: you nearly lost 50% of your business to china when joe biden was a senator and how it is different now. >> we were one of two manufacturers who made our product in the country before that and suddenly china copied our product and very quickly over just a couple years we lost a great deal of our business and struggled for many years to find

ways to compete. over the last several years we decided to bring that business back. our customers have become much more interested in american products and a booming economy and good business environment allowed us to be more competitive and invest in our business to compete with china. jillian: prior to the last few years was there ever a time you gave up hope? >> we never gave up hope, we have a pretty awesome business but when we moved into after

9/11, we lost this business to china and after that we fought through the great recession and we were feeling we were succeeding despite the government and like i said in my speech when trump was elected, collective sigh of relief because we felt government was behind us and the business environment and staff is very optimistic the last three or four years. jillian: story resiliency, debbie flood, appreciate the story. jillian: time is 26 after the hour. todd: democratic areas dealing

with unrest accepting federal help. the mission to restore law and order and the gulf coast, how volunteers are helping pick up the pieces.

>> my fellow americans, with a heart full of gratitude and boundless optimism i profoundly accept this nomination for president of the united states. >> todd: officially accepting the republican nomination in front of a crowd of supporters at the white house, the president slamming joe biden and the left's agenda during his speech. >> joe biden is not a savior of america's soul, he is a destroyer of america's jobs, if given the chance he will be the destroyer of american greatness.

joe biden's agenda is made in china, my agenda is made in the usa. todd: joe biden firing back at the president saying in part when donald trump says you won't be safe in joe biden's america look around and ask how feel -- how safety feeling donald trump's america? jillian: x democrat taking the stage slamming his former colleague, representative jack van drew explains why he switched parties. >> democrats tried, i was ready, willing and able to say i had enough with their radical agenda. to you really believe joe biden is ready, willing and most of

all able to do the same? >> reporter: van drew left the democratic party last year. tropical depression laura triggering flash floods and reported to tornado. todd: striking louisiana and texas as a category 4 hurricane, six people were killed. jillian: a closer look at the distraction, it is devastating. >> reporter: check out, the only thing is not heavy enough to move around in this business, you can see on the ceiling ductwork ripped out for metal beams hanging down, insulation on the floor. walk out here into the parking lot this used to be the storefront, now crashed into glass on top of the concrete, more insulation over here. the family got there first look last night, two family members lost their homes in the storms but no injuries.

in louisiana six people died because of the storm. listen to the governor. >> all were related to trees falling on residences which is in line with this being a major wind event. >> reporter: and laura. north it spun off a tornado near jonesboro, arkansas and tore part of the church roof off. the storm tracks through tennessee and kentucky today, knocked out power to 1 million homes and businesses and the number one priority today is restoring power, hundreds of linemen from all over the country, trying to get on the roads to get that electricity working. todd: they do amazing work. >> they are virtually untouched in the midst of that rubble.

>> homeowners in the storm's path left rebuild their lives but won't be alone. team rubicon operations support william porter joins us with how the group is responding. how is your team doing? >> we are doing great. we were pre-positioned in louisiana before the storm and as soon as it was safe to start working we started clearing roads through the lake charles area. jillian: describe your efforts over the last 24-30 hours. >> we moved into the lake charles area throughout the storm, as close as possible as hurricane laura came on the shore. at daybreak, we start seeing where the biggest impacts are. that was going on, we had teams of chainsaw operators and heavy equipment operators clearing

roads to open roads for social services for the population in their personal life as well. todd: compare the destruction of laura to other storms you've responded to. >> this is not hurricane harvey. it became a wind event and not a water event. we are looking at this as a less severe hurricane michael but now less than the population of lake charles, louisiana and southeast texas and a loss of damage throughout the area so it will take time for recovery. we know all those in the path are very resilient. we expect they will weather the storm. todd: text 20222 to donate $25 and text rubicon, 20222 to donate $10. thank you, stay safe.

our love and our intelligence to work together. >> reporter: multiple felony charges filed against kyle rittenhouse after being accused of killing two people in protests in kenosha. expected to hear in an extradition hearing as his attorney demands justice and in minnesota the national guard was deployed after dozens were arrested in violent booting. >> all i ask is the cities that are having difficulty if they request we send in the national guard we will be there instantaneously and put out the fire, put out the flame. jillian: the final night of the rnc republicans reaffirmed trump is the law and order candidate, listen to david doran. >> it is not a legitimate form of protest. they do not safeguard black lives. they only destroy them.

donald trump understands this. federal help to restore order in our communities. >> joe biden saying donald trump is the opposite. >> he is rooting for more violence, not less and pouring gasoline on the fire, this is donald trump's america. >> reporter: donald trump saying no one will be safe in biden's america. >> 38 after the hour the president giving americans a clear choice. >> this election will decide whether we save the american dream or allow a socialist agenda to demolish our cherished destiny. >> reporter: does the strike a chord with voters? lee carter is on deck next.

>> welcome back. the 2020 republican national convention has officially wrapped up so how did the president's message resonate with the american people? todd: partner and president lee carter. let's start with ivanka trump on how her dad took it on. >> if these problems were easy to solve previous presidents would have done so but you don't achieve different results by doing things the same way. washington has not changed donald trump. donald trump has changed washington. jillian: what are the greats? >> republicans gave it a b plus. independents a c plus and democrats enough. not surprising on the democrat way but ivanka had some good

lines, the best moment of the convention were people who gave a surprise about donald trump, talked about how they fought for them. not sure this is one of those moments. >> was hear from the president on saving the american dream? >> at no time before, clear choice between the two parties, two philosophies or two agendas, this election will decide whether we save the american dream or allow a socialist agenda to demolish our cherished destiny. >> tell me what you think about this, republicans didn't give it in a. >> republicans did not give last night's speech in a, they gave it a b plus, independents a c plus and democrats gave it an f. this was not trump's best

speech, it was a play it safe speech, won't stand out the most was what happened is donald trump made the case of what this was all about, a fight for america and americans, like him or not, that is the message that will be taken from here on out. everything else wasn't great, wasn't bad, wasn't as good, you see the dials go off the charts when the president, the dials go so high, talking to that, that was the case last night but certainly it was a b plus speech. todd: prompter versus ad lib.. there you go. fans waited months for the return of sports, several athletes are refusing to play in protest over the shooting of jacob blake, the growing movement across the sports world.
