morning so you never miss a minute of "fox & friends first." jillian: it's been a busy week. for those who are waking up in louisiana and texas and those impacted by the hurricane we certainly have you in our prayers. "fox & friends" will have the latest coverage on that right now. have a good day. todd: bye-bye. >> i profoundly accept this nomination for president of the united states. [cheers and applause] >> donald trump knows that america's strength is america's people. >> president trump's mind set is to work tirelessly and help restore america. >> joe biden won't stand up for america, donald trump will. >> americans who don't just talk, they act. that was our daughter. that's president trump. >> by the grace of god and the the compassion of president donald john trump, i am free

president trump will fight with all his might. >> you are the reason he is going to keep fighting for four more years. >> this is the most important election in the history of our country. and when i'm reelected, the best is yet to come. ♪ [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ in the back it says u.s.a. ♪ ainsley: all right. well last night was the last night of the ramsey clark. we saw the dnc last week. >> now you have all the facts. can you make your decision. it's official president trump is the republican nominee for the ticket this year. and you saw it right there. first convention ever at the white house and ended with the fireworks that said trump 2020.

brian: i don't know how they do that i can't even get a bottle rocket to go in the air. this is pretty amazing. took the back drop and put the crowd there critics say why weren't they wearing masks and social distanced? that's fine. that's a criticism, perhaps. but it was real. if you compare the two conventions in terms of production and in terms of content and in terms of the disparity in guests, i just think the republicans just knocked it out of the park. and if you don't believe this thing has tightened up, steve, joe biden says he is actually going to start campaigning after labor day. he didn't plan on doing that i am sure unless this thing is tightening up. he has got to actually try to earn this now. steve: joe biden is not waiting. because, obviously, we had heard that the polling. brian: he says he is waiting until after labor day. steve: to leave the place. yesterday for the first time suddenly out of nowhere joe biden does two interviews. anderson cooper and andrea mitchell.

the president of the united states, this essentially summarizes it, keep me in this house. trump says i kept my promises. biden will lead to chaos. that's what essentially he said in his 70-minute long speech. joe biden was less than half that length. griff jenkins has been there during both the conventions and joins us with the highlights of the finale to last night's big show on the south lawn. griff? griff: boy, it sure was, steve, ainsley and brian. those fireworks brian you mentioned how did they do it? america's first family of fireworks they call themselves the grucci family did that. they had a permit to do so. worthy of a fourth of july celebration. they did it as the president accepted that nomination. he promises the best is yet to come. warning of a future under joe biden. watch. >> biden is a trojan horse for socialism. no one will be safe in biden's america. my administration will always stand with the men and women of law enforcement.

[cheers and applause] griff: the president speaking from the south lawn where more than a thousand supporters sat in chairs most of them not wearing masks as the president violate highlighted in his coronavirus response. h>> if the democratic party wans to stand with anarchists, agitators, rioters, looters and flag-burners. that suspect to them. but i, as your president, will not be a part of it. >> the president was introduced by his daughter ivanka who made a strong case for a second term for her father. >> to the hardworking men and women across america and here tonight, you are the reasonable my father fights with all of his heart and all of his might. you are the reasonable he ran for president in the first place, and you are the reason he is going to keep fighting for four more years. [cheers and applause]

meanwhile, a major twitter storm from joe biden. more than a dozen in realtime like this one. when donald trump says tonight you won't be safe in joe biden's america, look around and ask yourself how safe do you feel in donald trump's america? now, outside the white house last night, senator rand paul along with others were surrounded by an angry mob of protesters. paul taking to twitter for thanking the d.c. police forking that he him out safely. history books. what's next? the president heads to new hampshire today to make remarks. in d.c. thousands of protesters will be in the streets in organized march marking the anniversary of martin luther king's jr. march on washington. steve? ainsley: thank you so much, griff. you mentioned rand paul. evidence was walking away from the white house with his wife. and he had to be surrounded, look at this. officers had to surround them in

a box. steve: see that police officer right there in the front, is he holding a bike del up. so that he can protect rand paul but somebody pushes into the cop and into the bicycle and next thing you know. >> look at his wife right there. i'm sure they are terrified. this is what it is amounting to. our politicians are getting bombarded by protesters. he actually feared for his life because of he tweeted out thank you to the officers for saving my life. literally saving my life. is he going to be on our show at 8:15 this morning, brian. brian: rand paul gets attacked by his neighbor and can't even walk down the street at work. ainsley: unbelievable. broken ribs. brian: if you are looking for big celebrities that are starring in sitcoms look for another convention. instead you get people who were freed from prison. parents saying they appreciate the support that they got, even though their daughter was unable to be reclaimed from isis but the support he has gotten, real life stories. real accomplishments and even people who got a chance to know

him like herschel walker and dana white is the guy we need. guy not up for the job according to michelle obama, had a list of accomplishments and supporters and diverse average every day americans who were trumpeting his cause. here is the president. this is the most important elections in the hills industry of our country. [cheers and applause] at no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties, two visions. two philosophies or two agendas. this election will decide whether we save the american dream or whether we allow a socialist agenda to demolished our cherished destiny. this election will decide whether we will defend the american way of life or whether we will allow a radical movement to completely dismantle and

destroy it. brian: so as the president wrapped up his speech last night, it went a little bit longer than many people thought and great for them to go into the musical during the recap show where bret baier, brit hume and company. weave had a lot of opera in the background. most opera that i have heard sings episodes of the odd couple. two things ran out how dynamic the family is ivanka, don jr. and how under utilized melania has been. her speech was fantastic. captured the coronavirus. ainsley: and the american dream. brian: in terms of president being proud cause and see them as eloquent as they were throughout the four days is pretty impressive even though we got a chance to really meet them over the last four years. bring in hogan gidley. national press secretary in the trump campaign. seeing him in the white house close and personal. hogan, despite the critic who said don't use the white house,

it's a violation of the hatch act, not only did the president use the white house, he use offed the whole lawn, put a live audience in. had the washington monument as a back drop and off go to the fireworks. what do you think the message is? >> what an incredible exclamation point put at the end of a wonderful week outlining the greatness of america. it is the land of opportunity. it is the land of promise. it is most certainly the land of heroes and it was on full gla display for all the world to see last night. what a different message we had as republicans as republicans and behind the leadership of this president versus the democrats and what they had. the democrats spent four days telling everyone that america is inherently evil, that it is the cause of the world's problems and that is a flat out lie. this country is the greatest idea ever realize you had, a bee con of hope of compassion of strength of freedom around the world.

that's what we talked about and we didn't use the hollywood elites. we used the heartland to tell everyone this is how amazing our country is. it was real people who not only praised this country for the opportunities they have been afforded here. they couldn't get anywhere else. they also praised the president's policies and pointed out how he has positively impacted their lives. it was incredible week. i was so blessed to be a part of it. steve: when you contrast the two conventions, it was very clear and the republicans reminded everybody of this, during the dnc, you know, joe biden really never denounced the violence that has been sweeping our nation, which continues to this day. i want your reaction to mr. biden but, first, before that, you know, you are talking about the everyday heroes who were featured at the rnc. an every day hero nobody knew about was david dorn, he was a retired police captain who was

killed during some of the protests in st. louis. his wife spoke out about what is happening in the country. there is mr. done right there. captain done. here is his wife. listen to her and then your reaction to what's going on in the streets. >> as i slept, looters were ransacking the shop. they shot and killed david in cold blood. i learned of all of this around 4:00 a.m. when our doorbell rang. the chief of police was standing outside. i wondered why dave had not answered the door. i let in the chief and fighting back tears he uttered the words every officer's spouse dreads. i relive that horror in my mind every single day. my hope is that having you relive it with me now will help shake this country from this nightmare we are witnessing in

our cities. steve: so heart felt and so awful what that family has gone through. the president last night said we have to give law enforcement our police back their power they are afraid to act lose their job. they can't do their job. the people who suffered most are the people they so desperately want to protect. joe biden said yesterday in one of the couple of interviews he did that donald trump is rooting for more violence. he said he is pouring gasoline on the fire. mr. biden said i condemn violence in any form whether it's looting or whatever it is. we didn't hear that message last week. why is mr. biden speaking out now? >> it's very interesting. i do want to comment on mrs. done we watched that obviously in the campaign headquarters there wasn't a dry eye in the entire building. it was very heart felt emotional moment. but to hear joe biden talk about condemning this time of violence number that took the life of mrs. done's husband is too little, too late. this has been going on now close to 90 days and the only time we

have heard from joe biden was to defund the police which is absolutely ridiculous notion. people want more police. not less. but also the response comes at a time when so many of these cities are way past a breaking point. steve: what changed, hogan, why is joe biden speaking out now? >> sadly you heard it on other networks it is not helping him politically. is he doing it for purely political reasons. the democrats now have basically admitted. this some of these other tv hosts as i mentioned even said the quiet part out loud that it's hurting joe biden politically, it is helping donald trump. so he needs to come out and address it. don't come out and address it because people's businesses have been destroyed. don't come out and address it because churches have been burned, people have lost their lives, no. only do it for politics. that shows you where the democrat mentality is i have to

say these cities that are burning are absolutely controlled by democrats. the president pointed that out last night. but we didn't hear anything about these democrat controlled cities being destroyed at the democrat convention. how do you not mention what is gripping this nation right now with this lawlessness, this criminal behavior, this death and destruction. they completely ignored it. and there's a reasonable why all of these police unions that used to support joe biden are now coming out and supporting donald trump because they know he will also have their back. ainsley: when you look at the dohrn family the reasonable she is speaking out now because the issue for her family is law and order. her husband died as a result of it. our country is so divided right now. some people are progressives, the other side wants law and order and doesn't want to see our country going in the wrong direction. there are a lot of democrats who speak out saying reasons why they either voted for president trump before or why they are

changing their minds and they're going to vote for him this time. and the republican party or the administration put together this montage of democrats that are now voting for trump. watch this. >> but liberalism has changed, and i don't fit there anymore. i'm a democrat, my parents are democrats. i was a huge usama bin laden supporter. >> in the 2016 primary i voted for bernie sanders. you i mean i was a socialist. >> it feels like democrats sort of get people hooked on this drug of free money where they basically say, you know, if you want your fix you have to keep voting for us. >> his entire campaign works for all americans, that was a turning point for me. >> i want people to hear my story and want people to know that you can go from being a democratic socialist to being a trump supporter. >> i hope that trump wins and we can continue with the progress he has made and the policyst he has put into place. ainsley: you know, brian and steve, it's interesting because that is what people are talking about. i know here in this city and new york, i have had friends saying

they are worried about even going to sit outside because you can't sit inside restaurants because they are worried somebody will come up to their table or rob them or they're there won't be a police officer around or call 911 get a recording saying we are backlog and we can't come and help you. scary times. brian: absolutely. big story in the "the washington post" today people have got to calm down right and left. it's politics, country, same thing we are all in this together. you might have different beliefs, but there is no reason to harms people because they want to go to dinner or they want to get in their car. i think everyone has got to realize that. there is no winners there. in fact, initial who is for the biden cause and was aggravated about biden you see the way arranged paul was treated and lose your argument entirely. other thing to keep in mind donald trump is going full bore going to new hampshire and over to texas and louisiana over the weekend. and joe biden is going to have to go into situations where there is going to be no script. and that's what donald trump wants. and if he starts dropping the

ball, steve, i don't know how you feel about this, but that means i think. steve: you mean joe biden dropping the ball. brian: joe biden drops the ball i look for speaker pelosi's warning. that is a precursor to get joe biden to bail on all three debates. steve: there has been a lot about the debate. we heard the president a couple of days ago i think he was joking saying that joe biden should take a drug test before the debate. but joe biden has said you know what? bring it on. i'm ready for it. see where it goes because as ainsley stuarted this program out she said the conventions are concluded and now the race is on. all right. 6:17 in new york city. anxiously, what's next? ainsley: well, the parents of an isis victim give an emotional speech at the rnc last knight while slamming the obama administration for their response. and marine corps veteran joey jones is going to recount their story coming up next. ♪ as a caricature artist,

>> the obama administration administration said it was doing everything the trump accommodation is. if donald trump had been president when kayla was captured she would be here today. brian: i don't know how that parents were able to get through that describing their daughter who was just a super star and what she went through and her last moments alive go beyond logical thoughts the parents of kayla mueller speaking out at the rnc arguing their daughter might still be alive if the obama administration took a tougher stance to rescue their daughter. kayla mueller was killed in 2015 after being captured and tortured by isis for two years.

joey jones, what do you think about the parents coming out and saying what they said? >> you know, listening to them speak last night is reminded me why i joined the marine corps when i did in 2005. when evil like that exists in our world, the least our president can do is send our warriors to that evil, to send their souls straight back to hell where they came from. that's a pretty easy decision. i'm glad president trump has a pretty long list of victories when it comes to making that tough decision i understand there is political capital involved there that many presidents or candidates wouldn't take. joe biden is a perfect example of that at least president obama was willing to kill bin laden because joe biden wasn't willing to do it. i appreciate president trump the way he acted decisively even if the risk was being a failure or unpopular. brian: joey, the problem is, most of all you know you can't reward hostage-taking because it will end up being more hostages taken. they felt as though they weren't

being listened to. no one seemed to care. here is kayla's dad. >> exactly. >> what a difference a president makes. under president trump u.s. army special operators conducted a raid on al-baghdadi's come pound. after we learned that al-baghdadi was killed. we learned something else the operators named themselves task force 8/14 after august 14th, kayla's birthday. and the mission was named operation kayla mueller. brian: the detail and the mission and what her daughter went through in her harrowing and telling. >> you know, i can't say that kayla would have lived. for all i know her day she was taken as a hostage i don't lay that at president obama's feet. what we do know it was a breakdown in communication with her own family that they suffered all those nights not knowing. there isn't a an easy day in

war. can i tell that you in afghanistan. those nights get a hell of a lot easier when you know that you are there to do something, to bring someone like kayla home or end someone's life like al-baghdadi that doesn't deserve to live rather than being there in 2010 to help the 2012 election easier which is how it felt for us. the communication with the american people, the communication with the families that president trump has been able to do in the decisiveness in taking action it really is remarkable when you look at the last two presidents and the i don't i don't that i lived through deploying on the american people lived through not ever knowing what our goals were. >> no president is perfect from eisenhower on down even with his military experience, i get it. but, when you look at the president, what president obama did there. pulling all our troops out, allowing almost baghdad to fall. isis to take root. establish a caliphate the size of new jersey beheading americans. he had a red line forgot about

it and went golfing and allowed the russians get back in the middle east. yes, sir they brag about foreign policy dare i say they are vulnerable. your thoughts? >> listen, the greatest thing you could have done to dishonor our sacrifice for the tenures after 9/11 was to allow isis to form. president obama said there must be some magic wand president trump had to create jobs. must have been another one to defeat isis to get the taliban to the negotiating table to bring some sort of calm in a world that was absolutely perilous in the middle east but the entire of obama's presidency. all i can say is i'm not aware of every decision made and every policy kept. what i can say is our men and women in uniform believe they are in a place that's much better than before president trump took office. brian: if you want to know more about johnny joey jones it's on fox nation. that story is very moving as well. thanks for putting it in perspective. we appreciate it. >> thanks, brian.

steve: yesterday, at this time laura was a hurricane a cat 3 as it tore into the coast. now it has been downgraded as a tropical depression moving through arkansas triggers flash floods and perhaps even a tornado. the storm struck louisiana and

texas a 4 initially killing at least six people. jeff flog is live in louisiana with a look at the damage. jeff, as the sun came up yesterday you were able to seat devastation and it was shocking and through the day it just got worse. >> you are dead on right, steve. and, in fact, you know, now we lighten it up but it is shocking. i mean, you look at the kind of devastation here. 150 mile-per-hour winds. that's what it will get you. everywhere you go in this town it's a huge swath of destruction and damage. i mean, you know, jewels pieces of concrete and brick everywhere, glass everywhere the power lines down. i think last count almost 1 million people in three states without power and will be without power for a long time. also no water in places like lake charles. and this isn't where the storm, as i said came ashore. we did get a direct hit here, but it was in a town called

cammeron which is down the bayou down on the coast that is where they got the surge. we didn't get surge here we just got tremendous wind and destruction and rain. they got the surge down there washing homes literally away. the good news if there is any good news and it's not all good but, you know, we have got four dead in louisiana as a result trees falling on home only two other deaths. six total deaths at this point as far as we know. to me, with this kind of destruction we are seeing here, that's almost an amazing number. so, trying to be positive in a town where not too much positive can be said, steve. steve: jeff, thank you very much for joining us on this friday just awful. all right. anxiously. ainsley: thank you, steve. the 2020 republican national convention has officially wrapped up. how did the president's message and that of other featured speakers resonate with the american people? here with the dials partner and president of maslansky and

partners lee carter. hey. lee. >> good to see you this morning. steve: start with a soundbite for the president. yellow line independents. red obviously republicans and blue is democrat. this is the president slamming the democratic agenda saying that their party is extreme. watch the dials. >> at the democrat convention you barely heard a word about their agenda. but that's not because they don't have one, it's because their agenda is the most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee. joe biden may claim he is an ally of the light, but when it comes to his agenda, biden wants to keep us completely in the dark. ainsley: lee? >> you can see the republicans gave this an a minus. independents a b minus and democrats an f. last night's speemps were not quite as popular as the other nights. i think that the president was much more subdued than he has

ordinarily been. we have seen those dials go right off the chart. that said, this message did resonate with both republicans and independents. when you listen to both sides, they are casting the other side of as the one that is eel or the one that is -- if you vote for them the country is going to be over. the question really is which one of those arguments is going to stick? right now it does look like independents are aligning with republicans but it still remains to be seen. ainsley: rudy giuliani was talking about law and order which was a big theme last night and he cleaned up new york years ago and now new york is going in a different directions and we are all concerned about it. here is he talking about democrats enabling all the violence. >> now today my city is in shock. murders, shootings, and violent crime are increasing at percentages unheard of in the past. new yorkers wonder how did we get overwhelmed by crime so quickly and decline so fast? don't let democrats do to

america what they have done to new york. ainsley: lee? >> so you can see the republicans gave this is a b plus, independents a c plus and democrats an f. again, the message resonated just not as intensely as we have seen before. i think a lot of the people are very very concerned about law and order, their safety, they are very concerned about happening in cities. >> less so in new york and more so than some of the other cities that are really the focus of most attention. that's part of what you saw there and why the dials didn't go quite as high as otherwise might be. ainsley: thank you so much. you have been helpful this week with the dials with the rnc and dnc. >> thank you. ainsley: we will play clips throughout the morning if you missed it because it was kind of long. will joe concha is here to break down the media reaction next ♪ do me like that

that was the easy part. usaa insurance is made the way liz and mike need it- easy. president trump sat toring norm standards perhaps even laws by holding such an event. >> filled with harsh attack glls it was so dark and stressful that there is no hope in that message. >> darkness. >> articulating what he is against more than what he is for. >> he didn't paint a clear picture of his second agenda. >> fidel castro, julia caesar, sake co. that was not an american president giving an acceptance speech. that was a monarch. this would be the end of america. if this is what we are going to be, this won't be a democracy. that's a monarchy.

it was repugnant. sorry. brian: i think she could have written that before he spoke. meanwhile harsh words for president trump's rnc address from many in the media. how does that coverage compare to when joe biden took center stage last week? steve: let's bring in our our old buddy from the hill joe concha from my hometown: joe, how are? >> happy friday. steve: indeed. what a scary y. vision those analysts had watching donald trump. when you listen to the media in general talking about joe biden's speech, the week before, quite a contrast. watch this. >> it was all hopeful, upbeat, optimistic. >> it was deeply optimistic speech. hopeful. >> it embraced the light who spoke against the darkness. >> so hopeful. it's so so positive. >> i think it was important for him tonight to make people feel that hope. >> it was ultimately a message

of unity to the country. steve: okay. so, that's their opinion. explain what we just witnessed. >> okay. i know you guys probably saved the tapes on this show so before the rnc began i joined "fox & friends" and i said that dark was going to be the word they would use the most during this week and sure enough, not that that was such a bold prediction. dark or darkness won by secretary trit proportions describing not only the president's speech but speeches throughout the week. you compare that to joe biden. van jones gave away the whole game last week. i like van jones. you can agree or disagree with his opinion. at least is he honest with predictions. he said we were prepared for it being a terrible speech speaking about biden as long as he didn't embarrass himself we were going to come out here and praise it. in other words, it's a predetermined analysis that was given with biden. it was with trump as well.

but this rnc, guys, walls very effective in terms of we heard from very few politicians. instead we heard from regular people telling their inspiring stories while supporting the president. and the rnc production had an energy and a pop to it whether it's the vice president fort mchenry just yesterday or the president at the south lawn last night in front of live audiences outside. it certainly resonated. and you compare that to the dnc, hillary clinton joined from her living room in new york. michelle obama joined from her living room in march that's vineyard. joe biden, the nominee, couldn't even leave delaware to go to wisconsin because apparent liver going to wisconsin if you are a democratic candidate isn't a thing anymore. steve: parking lot. >> he joined as well from delaware. so comparing it to the zoom meetings that we saw last week, i'm telling you, the biden campaign saw no bounce in their polling after their convention. i have never seen that before. usually you get 5, 6 points points, zero points for biden. we have lived a full decade now

in 8 months when you think about it. the president was impeached this year do you remember that a pandemic that shut down the economy. the country a deadly pandemic. and we see chaos in our streets and the fact that the biden campaign in battle ground states is essentially tied in the real clear politics index of polls. i'm not cherry picking one poll. i'm going by 8. the fact that these two campaigns are tied given everything we have seen this year must be disturbing for the biden campaign at this point, guys. ainsley: all right, joe. thank you so much for joining us. >> all right. thank you have a good one. ainsley: you are welcome. >> do i have to say goodbye because i do have one quick story to tell oops, sorry are we still here? steve: you got it. tell us now. >> my car was stolen out of my driveway not far from where steve lives it was recovered in newark, new jersey. i have to see what recovered looks like apparently the car was crashed. that's my friday hope you guys have a good one as well because this should be interesting. ainsley: what's going on? so many people have had their car stolen.

two of my friends, too. you are my third friend. >> the whole thing of not having a could i put. you can very easily leave it in the car when you are getting dogs out and groceries out. now apparently there is this technology thieves from the bottom of the driveway see if you have your keys left in your car or not. i just admitted on national television before millions of people that i left my keys in my car. you know what? this is apparently a thing. nine cars were stolen in my neighborhood which is quite remarkable quite frankly. not the only i had out. enough about me. got to go. steve: lives of joe concha. brian: 1-800 schwinn. ainsley: jillian has headlines. jillian: steve, make sure you take your keys with you. steve: i got them right now. jillian: japanese prime minister shinzo abe over health i. announcing health this morning saying he did not want his illness to get in the way of

decision-making. his decision comes just days after he became japan's longest serving prime minister leading the country for 8 years. abe says he will remain in the post envelope his successor is dhofn a mandatory jail sentence for assaulting a police officer could soon be eliminated in virginia. senate democrats passing a bill keep the charges a felony but allows a judge or jury to decide whether to reduce it to a misdemeanor if the officer is not hurt. several republicans are slamming the measure saying it disrespects police. democrats say it makes a distinction between serious and minor assaults. the bill now moves to the state's house delegates. former heisman trophy winner herschel walker speak out against those who unfriend others over their political disagreements. after defending the president during his rnc speech walker telling "u.s.a. today" in part saying, quote, losing friends has been a big cost. i lost some friends and that's what so strange about it. how could in a country like america you disagree with someone that you now want to

injure that person? walker adding that the president never asked him to speak at the rnc, that he offered. a look at your headlines. i will send it back to you. brian: all right. thanks so much. appreciate it, jillian. go over to janice. she has been tracking laura and the aftermath. hey, janice. janice: good morning. we are almost done with the storm although we are going to see the potential for showers, thunderstorms, gusty winds along the track of the storm. it's a depression now. we are still going to feel the effects across the ohio, tennessee and mississippi river valley and then the mid-atlantic as we get into friday or today is friday. into the weekend. so there's the track of the storm. we will finally be done with it on sunday. but we could expect some definitely gusty winds and perhaps some stronger storms. forecast precipitation a couple of inches around the center of the storm as it moves offshore. but not a big deal. we are going to see the potential for stronger storms with this system across portions

of the mid south and then frontal boundary is going to bring the potential for showers, thunderstorms and stronger storms across the upper midwest, the great lakes and interior northeast. the other big story is the heat across the southwest and texas and otherwise a quieter forecast as we get into the weekend. still watching the tropics. i will let you know if anything develops. for now a breath of relief. steve, ainsley, brian, back to you. steve: thanks, j.d. straight ahead. alveda king joins us on our friday "fox & friends." ♪ insurance. simply sign up, drive and save. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ tonight, try pure zzzs all night. unlike other sleep aids, our extended release melatonin helps you sleep longer. and longer.

colored blind, healing the racial divide." dr. king, good morning to you. >> good morning. thank you so much. hello, everyone. > steve: indeed. how do you and your family regard what your uncle said 57 years ago today? >> when i think about the words of my uncle renksd dr. martin luther king jr., my parents were there at the march on washington. i, of course, was 12 years old. i was at home. we were able to watch a lot of it. and so i remember those words. i remember the dream. the dream is still alive. the legacy, life and legend of dr. martin luther king jr. is still alive. one part that people don't talk as much about is that bounce check. and the check is being made good on today with historically black colleges and universities, opportunity zones, the employment rates for blacks and everybody was very strong before

covid and we do thank god for that first and president trump for that as well. steve: sure. you know, i'm old enough, i remember the 60's and i remember there were a lot of protests over race and over the vietnam war and things like that. and i was talking to somebody yesterday and they s so divided. you can't really disagree with a lot of people with their opinion. and the person says well, don't you blame donald trump for that because he has -- his rhetoric is so blunt? you know, he has contributed to this nasty tone in the country. do you think that's true? >> in the 1960s, our home was bombed. you know, my dad referenced a.d. king worked very closely with my uncle referenced dr. martin luther king jr. donald trump is not responsible for the molotov cocktails. the bombing of the home of my parents, martin luther king jr.'s home was bombed. so, when you have those kinds of

hostile force come in. you need strength. you need someone who believes in god. so the tone today, the christian church has to rise up as well. all church leaders, all spiritual leaders regardless of the denominations and faith maybe, but the christians need to be standing up. we were taught to protest peacefully. speak about things that are good and to solve problems. >> what would dr. martin luther king say about what is going on in america american streets today? it started with demonstrations and protests, but, frequently, it has evolved into violence and looting and arson. >> thankfully we still have the worlds of dr. martin luther king. we must learn to live together as brothers and or perish together. police brutality. mob brutality. gang brutality.

the problems with abortion. the war on the womb. the little babies in the womb. he would say that rioting and violence are not the answer we have to resolve these peacefully. and he would certainly agree we have to pray. blessedly, we have his words. and he would encourage us to resolve this without the violence. i'm sure he would. steve: indeed. all right. dr. alveda king. dr. king, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: all right. still ahead on this friday, house minority leader kevin mccarthy, senator josh hawley and judge jeanine. stick around. you are watching "fox & friends" live from the heart of new york city. ♪ ♪ this is my town ♪ i was born ♪ you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past... they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b.

he was able to list accomplish. s. people up there from all walks of life talking about how he has impacted them. the goal was to humanize the president. good job. to say lay out an agenda. that was effective. to win over the white suburban mom more than anything else and also let minorities know you are safe here. and from jack brewer to herschel walker to alice johnson. i saw real life stories of you who african-americans feel this administration has served what they wanted. >> it's interesting. there is a story in the "wall street journal" today about how apparently last week the president of the united states was watching the dnc. and then he said, you know what? our speakers are going to have much shorter punchier speeches. so he cut a minute or two out of every speaker. and then his actual acceptance speech he added 1,000 more words than he had in 2016. and it wound up being 70 minutes long. he provided a positive vision

for america and the future. he went completely scorched earth on joe biden and the democrats. it was rousing, bare knuckled. he was talking about how the vision of america going forward could not be clearer. you can either go his way or the way that joe biden is suggesting, ainsley, which he said we have made a lot of progress in the last four years and if joe biden is elected poof it's all going to disappear. ainsley: some speakers throughout the week telling stories of real americans. people who have blue collar jobs and have talked about the economy, helping their business they stood on stage together holding hands and it was difficult for them to get through it, you could tell. they were talking about their daughter, their precious daughter kayla was in her 20's and most 20-year-olds are out with heir friends or going to college and having fun, not thinking about saving the world.

and she was a humanitarian and she wanted to help out individuals in other parts of the world that were less fortunate. she went to help doctors without borders in syria and aleppo. she crossed the border with a friend. and her boyfriend. and they were taken by isis. and allegedly abducted by isis and al-baghdadi held her, cepghtd her captive 18 months and repeatedly did the unthinkable things that a father would have ever have to talk about on stage to his daughter every day. and then killed her. they still don't have her body. she died in 2015. and this is a clip of the parents on stage last night. >> the obama administration said it was doing everything it could the trump administration is. let me just say this. kayla should be here. if donald trump had been president when kayla was captured, she would be here today. ainsley: they said they weren't even supposed to have a second

child and god gave them this miracle and now she is gone. and we hope that her body will be found and she can have a proper burial here in america. they gave credit to donald trump for his help. we are going to talk to them coming up. steve: we will coming up in this hour. brian: so let's talk about what's going on and then shortly we will talk to kevin mccarthy at the rnc. especially when you talk about all four days how effective they were. the state's craft was fantastic. they had the advantage of seeing what the dnc did and how ineffective, i believe, the zoom calls were with all those people many of which were duplicates. you saw people go out and say this is what the president has done because the president, as you know, is extremely frustrated because he has about every network going out of their way to destroy him on a daily basis. and the president does this other thing that's unique. he fights them every day on a daily basis and tells them the opposite. at the same time over the last three years you heard about he didn't really win. jill stein protested the

election. of course get the electorates not to report from the electoral college and then you had the russia investigation the next two years which turned into impeachment which turns into the pandemic. the pandemic is real. the other stuff, huge distraction. yet the president found a way to accomplish a lot and he went over that. here's the -- some of the people. the every day average people who spoke at the rnc. >> violence and destruction are not legitimate forms of protest. >> if donald trump had been president when kayla was capture you had, she would be here today. >> by the grace of god and the compassion of president donald john trump, i stand before you tonight. >> when we lost nearly 50% of our business to china in the mid 2,000s we wondered how a small company like ours could continue to compete. then donald trump was elected and we breathed a sigh of relief. he actually fought for american workers.

>> don't let democrats do to america what they have done to new york. >> he is our commander-in-chief, champion of the american worker, defender of common sense, and our voice for the forgotten men and women of this country. steve: and then she would introduce donald trump. let us introduce tout house minority leader congressman from california kevin mccarthy. congressman, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: and then donald trump came out and he had a confession last night. he said he broke the cardinal rule of d.c. politics, he kept his word. >> you know, he kept his word he likes to say even more than he even gave is promises. you watch that as we had this campaign in 67 more days for what they prom political scienced to do for the next four years. it's very important to see what you have done in the past. this president what he has been able to do walk through rebuild our military. build the strongest economy. criminal justice reform. kept -- build the wall.

and then you look at joe biden joe biden has a 47 year history of being in washington. do you know when joe biden first went to the senate. he served with people who was born in the 1800s? now, i don't know how you are going to become the leader of the free world if you will not leave delaware. he wouldn't even leave during the convention. you cannot listen to people. you cannot lead the free world by thinking can you put a few movie stars on the stage. that's the difference what i saw in these conventions. that we had the real heroes of america. the average americans that struggle every single day and what they would say regardless of republican or democrat that they found in donald trump that he listened to the forgotten person. that voice that others would not. that's what he promised and that's what he kept for the last four years. ainsley: yeah, like the alice marie johns of the world. she was supposed to spend the rest of her life behind prison and dnc even have a record other than this one mistake that she

made. and he got her out of prison and she said she was on stage last night talking about how he changed her life, clearly. and she was so excited to see her family and hug her grandkids. jack brewer said two nights ago he was always a democrat. is he a democrat but is he voting for donald trump. there were others that said the same thing. listen to this. >> liberalism has changed and i don't fit there anymore. i'm a democrat. my parents are democrats. i was a huge obama supporter. >> in the 2016 primary i voted for bernie sanders. >> i mean i was a socialist. >> it feels like democrats sort of get people hooked on this drug of free money where they basically say, you know, if you want your fix, you have to keep voting for us. >> his entire campaign worked for all americans. that was a turning point for me. >> i want people to hear my story and know that you can actually go from being a democratic socialist to a trump supporter. i hope that trump wins and that we can continue with the progress that he has made and the policies that he has put

into place. ainsley: was a socialist. enough to she is voting for president trump. why do you think this is happening? >> because the president personally touched them. the thing with the president is he puts america first. he doesn't put. and to be able to move those many people. if you spent a few days watching this convention, i know you had every emotion from a cheering to a crying to the empathy to the empowerment of this country. that's just such a great contrast to the democrats i felt emptiness when i left there i knew they hated the president. i knew they want to raise taxes. i know they want to defund the police. but tell me what are you going to do for the average american to make this place better? brian: people should understand what's at stake if the democrats win the white house and most likely going to win the senate. that means they will blow up the filibuster. so whatever joe biden want and bernie sanders wanted that's what the country is going to get nothing will be there to stop them if you can't find a way to win the house. then you look at places like

washington, d.c. and you realize that's going to become a state because that's what they will want. meanwhile if you understand some of the anger in washington, d.c. towards republicans, evidently all you had to do was watch the exit ramps from last night's event. waiting for them was angry crowds. rand paul felt as though the cops weren't there he actually he and his wife might not have sur viferred if the cops weren't there. i'm looking at ari fleischer's feed on twitter. you could see people walking out from the event were being screamed at. explicatives thrown their way just because they went to the white house to support the president. describe, kevin mccarthy, the level of anger in washington towards the right? >> you don't have to watch the conventions to understand what this country would look like. go to portland. go to chicago. go to new york. that is what this country will because those are all run by

democrats. they are allowing this to go forward. for individuals to be out there to harass another individual simply because they came to the white house. they are not harassing. they are almost to the point of violence. you don't have to wait for a speech in the white house. can you just go to a restaurant in washington, d.c. and you are going to get intimidated. you are going to get harassed. brian: have you never seen this before? kevin, have you not seen this before? >> i have seen it many times. brian: have you seen it before president trump took the white house? have you seen this level of anger? >> no. and the sadness is what i watched the day after he was inaugurated i remember driving from the hotel what the streets were filled with it started from day one to never give him an opportunity, which is so sad. because the history of this country, regardless of who wins the white house, there is usually a honeymoon. this poor man has never had that moment to govern. but, in you a of that all of thr stopped fighting. think what he was able to achieve. the tax cuts.

putting more people to work. bringing jobs back from overseas. raising everybody up regardless of color of skin or gender. think about how much more we could do if this president had a congress and a senate that would work for them. that's why we could actually retire nancy pelosi if people would go to take the house.com. because it's more than just the presidency. this is the nation and the next century. is it going to be america? are we going to guarantee that tomorrow will be better than today? because what i watched for the four days of the democrats and four days of the republicans it's not hard to make a decision now. and it's not hard to go out and make the case. it doesn't matter if you are republican, independent, or democrat, it's a clear choice here. joe biden is not the same as he was before. barack obama has even said that there is no difference between joe biden and bernie sanders. bernie sanders is a registered socialist so either we are going to go forward in prosperity or go backwards in poverty. we are either going to go forward in freedom or backward

in socialism. it's a very clear choice. steve: well, you would like nancy pelosi to be retired because then you would probably take over but that's a different story for another time. one of the things that has been made clear over the last four nights of the rnc is we're talking about something that nobody talked about last week and that was the lawlessness, the chaos in america's streets. it started with the killing of george floyd. and there were protests. but then, unfortunately, it turned into things like looting and vandalism and all sorts of arson and stuff like that. joe biden who did not mention it last week but has since, he suggested yesterday that the president is actually rooting for more violence. he said, joe did, he is pouring gasoline on the fire. but finally he said twice this week i condemn the violence in any form whether it's looting or whatever it is. why is he talking about it this

week and not last week when they had the big staining? >> therbig -- big stage. >> two things he didn't talk about on the stage what was going on in portland. he would not talk about the unrest in america. because he supported it. you know, 13 people on his campaign actually gave money to bail people out who were looting and beating people up. so he must support that. he has actually said he would defund the police. he said i didn't use the word. no he wants to reallocated the money. that's defunding the police. it's too late for joe biden to stand up to what has been going on day in and day out. and the part that i see is when we look at what happened in wisconsin, president trump leaned in and was going to help the national guard to be able to get there the governor of wisconsin said no and only brought 250 troops when they were asking for 750 to 1500. brian: so weak. >> it only perpetuated the

problem. brian: all right, congressman, thanks so much. it's going to be an interesting 67 days and it looks like something happened with this convention because suddenly, joe biden says i will start campaigning after labor day. i believe if he was so secure in front, he would not be coming out of his basement. so, game on. thanks, congressman. ainsley: thank you. >> i look forward to the debate. ainsley: if they happen. nancy pelosi is saying suggesting he doesn't debate. we will see. thanks so much for being here. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. jillian, over to you. you have headlines for us. happy friday. jillian: good morning. happy friday to you. let's begin with this. aerial photos from the path of destruction was left behind by hurricane laura packing 150 mile-per-hour winds. look at this. the storm lashing the deep south leaving lake charles, louisiana in ruins. the category 4 storm killing at least six people and taking out power for nearly 1 million customers. winds so powerful forcing this sign into a truck tearing homes apart in texas.

steve: the 2020 republican national convention has wrapped up as of last night how does the message and other featured speakerrers resonate with those who are going to vote. here is lee carter from maslansky and partners. good morning. >> good morning. steve: it has been a long two weeks. thank you for doing the dials. overall, as you look at the enthusiasm level as we have seen with both parties over the last two weeks how do you summarize it before we take a look at these particular sound bites. >> so i would say that the republicans are really excited about donald trump and i think that the democrats are very excited to beat donald trump. that does not mean that they are excited about joe biden. it means that they are excited to you beat donald trump. that's a very, very different feel. and what we are also seeing over

the last couple weeks is independents seem to be lining up a lot more with donald trump's message. he had a very, very good week. although last night not quite as strong as some of the other nights. but certainly the take away for most voters that we spoke to that are republicans and independents is that donald trump a president that's going to fight for them. >> let's take a look at the president himself. here he is in a sound bite. watch the dials. he is talking about what is at stake here. the yellow line independents. the red republicans. the blue would be the democrats. and so let's play the clip and watch what they think. >> at no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties two visions, two philosophies or two agendas. this election will decide whether we save the american dream or whether we allow a socialist agenda to demolish our cherished destiny. steve: in that sound bite we

could hear somebody with an air horn about a block away through the whole thing. what did everybody think? >> you can see the republicans gave this a b plus, independents a c plus and democrats an f. this isn't bad. it just wasn't quite as exciting and enthusiastic support that we see for donald trump. when we see the enthusiasm for him we canthe chart. it wasn't the case last night. it was a play it safe speech. he read off the prompter he wasn't ad-libbing. it was a fine speech. the big take away folks had is this. donald trump is a president who is going to fight for me and if we do not elect him the american dream could die. i think that message did get across. the question is it going to last? is it going to resonate and is it going to be enough? that remains to be seen. steve: a fine speech very long speech 70 minutes. does that impact people? >> yeah. it absolutely does. it was late and it was long. and it wasn't as exciting as many of his speeches are.

he got in-depth in policy which is a criticism he often gets. but, at the same time, it just didn't carry the same type of excitement that he often does. steve: one of the sound bites we wanted to play this morning his daughter ivanka here she is talking about the impact this president has had on d.c. >> 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. [applause] washington has not changed donald trump. donald trump has changed washington. [cheers and applause] steve: and the grades? >> you can see the republicans gave this a b plus, independents a c plus and democrats an f. this was a very good line. it wasn't very, very exciting. i think the people like to hear more from ivanka about the things they otherwise wouldn't hear like what it is it -- what is he like behind the scenes? those are the kind of things people want to hear.

steve: she said regarding his communication style is he unfiltered which i think we do. but, you know what? i'm having deja vu all over again. these particular dials are reminding me of four years ago when it was closer to the actual election the independents that had been right between the blue and red, they are starting to putting red line and what does that mean? >> it certainly does seem that wait a minute i think that-out election is going to be won and lost by independents. that's what happened in 2016. so this really have a battle for those voters who are undecided. those voters who could go either way. and right now it does seem like independents are lining up much more with the president than we saw last week with joe biden. still have a long way to go even though it doesn't season like it. everything could change and we saw that happen last time. we will be watching every moment. steve: the conventions are over.

next stop you will be dialing the debates that come up in less than a month. >> that's right. steve: lee carter thank you very much. >> . thank you nice to see you. steve: nice to see you. a police captain's widow address the rnc and remembered her husband david dorn who was killed during protest in sangt lewis. missouri senator josh hawley is here to reflect on her story, so emotional. the senator is next. ♪ new advil dual action with acetaminophen fights pain in two ways. advil targets pain at the source... ...while acetaminophen blocks pain signals. the future of pain relief is here. new advil dual action.

country her husband david dormer was killed trying to stop looting pay pawnshop in st. louis. i didn't have to explain that to my next guest the message was loud and clear to him senator josh hawley. senator, what did her remarks mean to you. >> i think they really capture what's at stake in this election, brian. i mean, do you want somebody who is going to protect america or do you want somebody who is understand by while america -- that's really what she said last night. we are talking about david dorn, her husband who went out to give his life for a friend trying to protect another individual's store from rioters and looters. what did democrats? what did joe biden have to say about any of this? what have they done to actually secure our streets? what have they done to bring peace to protect americans? nothing. they are on the side of the rioters and looters. that's the choice. is this country going to be protected or are law-abiding citizen going to be protected or are you going to get joe biden who will watch it burn? brian: very interesting. did he come out and speak about

it yesterday. maybe something is happening in the polling. do you think you guys should be speaking about jacob blake and say i don't know the details but shot seven times at close range. maybe the president makes a call. do you think you guys should be talking about the police reform that tim scott put forward that went nowhere that talked about extending time in the academy and changing tactics? >> well, this shows you exactly where the democrats are they didn't even want to take a vote on police reform. tim scott's bill that he worked so hard on he talked about it at the convention. democrats wouldn't let it come up to be debated. they are not serious about this. this is a campaign issue for them. again, they are content to watch portland and kenosha and other places, riots all across this country. they won't come out and say this has got to end. they won't come out and defend police. they won't defend law-abiding citizen. and yet they are willing to stand with the rioters and looters. that is the choice in this election. i think from trucks we are the party of due process. we are the party that believes in our court system and laws.

absolutely due process for every victim. no matter their race or background. there ought to be the fair and equal treatment of the rule of law. that's not what democrats want though. they are willing to stand by and watch the country burn. brian: let's talk about what mitch mcconnell said because the senate is at stake. if the senate does flip, along with the white house, the filibuster is gone listen to senator mitch mcconnell. >> i'm immensely proud of the work the senate as it done. we are the fire wall against nancy pelosi's agenda. like president trump we won't be bullied by a liberal media intent on destroying america's institutions we will stand our post on behalf of the millions of americans whose stories aren't told in today's newspapers. brian: what happens if it's a simple majority in a democratic senate. >> if the democrats take the senate it's real simple steam roll. they will absolutely steam roll

through the radical left agenda. because i don't think the democrats take the senate unless biden becomes president. and then you have got the trifecta the house, the senate and the white house. and you want to see -- you talk about a radical left agenda. that's when we get the defund the police. that's when we get the selling out to china. joe biden is a guy let's not forget on the china issue who says that china isn't a real competitor that we don't have anything to fear from them. it will be right back to that agenda of shipping jobs overseas. outsourcing abroad. allowing radicals to run loose at home. i mean, this is what they will do, defunding the police again at the top of that agenda. and this is what will happen if the senate turns blue. steve: d.c. a state. maybe add some people to the supreme court. we will see what happens. senator josh hawley defending 23 states -- 23 seats, not yours, of course, you just won that thank you so much for joining us today. it will be an interesting 67 days. >> thank you. brian: coming up straight ahead a group of former democrats

think that speaks to a lot of you who people feel because the party has moved so far left and removed itself. there is a guy in the video that talks about you know i was always antiwar and still am and the democratic candidate doesn't stand for that i was always pro-free speech the democratic candidate doesn't stand for that there is a whole bunch of people out there we need to not forget feeling misplaced. they are feeling lost. they don't know where to go and they're being drawn to donald trump because donald trump is not an establishment g.o.p. candidate. he hasn't been in washington for years. he is not that political hack that they feel like oh, well he has been preaching the same thing for 30 years and nothing has gotten done. incredibly important video for people to see who are on the fence. ainsley: pete, take away last night for me debbie flood she is a manufacturer and she said china coiptiond her product about 10 years ago and then during the recession she really struggled and she said because president trump was in office more people were interested in

buying american products and the economy was good. then they were talking about law and order. they said no one hates the bad cops more than the good cops. what were some of your takeaways? pete: the evidence that elections have consequences, policies have ramifications. and you can have people from all walks of life stopped up to that podium and say my life was changed because someone actually kept the promises. ainsley: alice johnson. pete: absolutely look at that direct. donald trump has built the single biggest political movement we have seen in modern era by simply telling the truth. when you have a video about formal liberals voting for trump, that's a recognition that your daddy's democrats are gone these are leftists who hate our country. look around around say that's not me. donald trump speaks honestly and does what he is going to do. can i vote for that this convention is a great supervisors to bringing more of

those people into donald trump's big tent. the left likes to talk about they are a big tent. what donald trump showed if you love our country you are welcome. in it's a very effective message. brian: i know the chinese stole our content. a lot of times will, pete will steal talking points. get will he at this tim litigio. your take of the overall four days. will: i will help you out and get pete back steal something from him. last night scrolling from twitter feed and saw pete said this election is going to be a landslide. trump is going to win in a landslide. i am going to use a sports met for, brian, can you appreciate it. this is new england patriots coming back from a huge deficit to beat the atlanta falcons. the democrats had this thing in the bag. they had a massive lead and they are choking it up. that video you played shows why. i believe this i inherit goodnef america understanding the

nefarious of china and declining tomorrow brace destruction in our street and destruction of our businesses and destruction of our history books is something that hits people very deeply and crosses party lines, left, right, republican, democrat, if you believe those things increasingly, it is the republican party and donald trump that are offering you those platforms. brian: will, let me tell you how on the money you are, president trump always brags to the fact that he did not get up at halftime. he watched because this is the patriots. they are going to come back against the falcons and sure enough his buddy robert kraft ended up winning. signal if i can to what ended up happening the last two weeks. the walkout of the milwaukee bucs and orlando and other teams deciding not to play the season. marlins and mets walked off after player introductions. all mls games. they are trying right now to get sports back on track. is sports doing the right thing in reacting to wisconsin's shooting this way? will: i don't think so. i think sports is committing

suicide, honestly. i saw lawrence jones our friend on your show earlier this week. he made a very good point. i respect that the players are putting their money where their mouth is. but they are building this based upon a tore that most americans do not believe is true that america is inherently racist country and that law enforcement is essentially committing genocide on black men across this country. that is not the america that most of us know. we do believe we have work to do, that racism exists and must be overcome. but if you build this entire movement in sports on that story, i think you will lose your audience and much of that audience, brian, over the past five months has realized something they can live without sports. brian: yeah. steve: don't lose our audience this weekend. i know tomorrow on the program have you mike huckabee, nancy grace, devin nunes, corey lewandowski and lawrence jones. so, we'll all be watching but it won't be a six person grid it will just be the three of you right there. will and jed and pete,. pete: we'll do our best.

mr. o'brien, ambassador o'brien, a.g. barr, fusion cell. my goodness. >> every one of them have just been extraordinary for us. when we were just in d.c., we had a meeting with mr. o'brien and something that's not in the news much is the fact that the trump administration has brought home 50 hostages, 50. ainsley: wow. 50 lives that were possibly saved. that's incredible. i want to hear more about your daughter, marcia. she seemed like an amazing person. at 24 she is helping overseas, people in need. doctors without borders. tell us what her personality was like. >> well, she just had a passion for people and helping people. whoever came god placed in front of her. she just took on this mission to help them wherever they were. that was her gift.

from a young age. she was always doing that. and what was extra special about kayla is she made you feel comfortable no matter who you were. and and one of the things we were told by some people overseas is that when they would just say her name, even if kayla wasn't there, if they mentioned kayla's name, the people would smile because they knew when she came to say she was going to help them, she followed through. she just didn't talk. she did what she could to help. and the other thing about kayla is she didn't just help them. she helped them find a way to help themselves. so that was so special about her. she just loved people. she just had a passion for people. ainsley: i know she was your miracle child you said last night you weren't supposed to have any more children and god gave you kayla. karl, i know that had to be hard last night talking about that

knowing what your daughter went through every single day at the hands of al-baghdadi. >> we are working outside the government and the government is supporting us right now. we were well on track to finding a lot of new leads but then covid happened and set us back quite a bit. but, we continue to search the trump administration continues to back us. we continue to have meetings, good grief, almost daily. so we feel we are on track to eventually find her. we know it's a needle in a haystack. but we're getting the support. >> ainsley, i would add to that. ainsley: we are about to get cut off. ainsley: we are not going to get off, go ahead, marcia. >> i just want to say our hope is that people see us, people that maybe knew something about kayla in this world and their hearts will soften and they will

yesterday was beautiful and pretty to see the white house in the background, here are the positives, god bless america songs and to see those fireworks and to hear all the stories of inspiring americans, just every day americans. brian: for the last four days but people are insensed because they think the president is using the white house for a political event. well, there's no room in joe biden's basement. he didn't even show up at his own convention. the president wanted to go to charlotte, then jacksonville and he wanted to do it from his house so why if joe biden can do it from his house but not the president? steve: and brian i heard john roberts make the historical point the other night, it was in 1940 that fdr did his speech from the white house. big difference though. it was on the radio, and this is my plug for brian's radio show and brian will be on the radio one hour from now. brian: absolutely. featuring senator tom cotton and so much more, no music meanwhile griff jenkins is live from washington with the president's message and highlights from the

rnc's final night. griff: good morning, guys, fdr didn't have fireworks like last night and a lot of people are feeling sorry for joe biden's fireworks guy this morning because last night, the family who did those fireworks outdid themselves. of course the president though first spoke for about 70 minutes from the south lawn with 1,500 guests in attendance many of them not wearing masks. the president struck an optimistic tone promising that the best is yet to come, but he also warned of a future under joe biden. president trump: biden is a trojan horse for socialism. no one will be safe in biden's america. my administration will always stand with the men and women of law enforcement. >> [applause] griff: the president was introduced by his daughter, ivanka, who made the case for four more years. >> but donald trump did not come to washington to win praise

protesters. paul took to twitter afterwards saying the d.c. police for escorting him safely out of there and today it's all eyes on thousands of protesters that are expected to turn out for the get your knee off our next march that marks the 57th anniversary of mlk jr.'s march on washington. dr. king's son will help lead it and it is called for peaceful demonstrations, but let me just point out, guys, as a little context. when i was driving home from work yesterday going through downtown d.c., many of the stores and businesses were boarding windows up, because the civil unrest has become all too commonplace. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: i read about that. all right, griff thank you very much. by the way, we just saw that video of rand paul and his wife kelly exiting last night. the senator is going to be coming up in our b block in about 10 minutes from right now. meanwhile let's bring in geraldo rivera, fox news contributor and correspondent at large.

geraldo: hi. steve: joining us from his house geraldo: good morning, hi, ainsley. steve: so geraldo take a look. this is the cover of the new york post. geraldo: warrior in the white house. steve: okay. the headlines. geraldo: i'm in a swing state though, steve. my headline counts more. warrior in the white house. i think this was the impression he made in middle america anyway steve: what do you -- geraldo: it was an extraordinary show. steve: sure what do you make of for instance he admitted i broke the cardinal rule of d.c. politics and kept my promises last night. geraldo: he certainly has been true to himself. if i may let me just characterize this event. i know that people have been nitpicking, it was partly tele prompter, it was, you know, a wood epidemic delivery or this or that. absolutely irrelevant, and what people will remember is that extraordinary show, the awe dos it of donald trump to hold this

party on the white house lawn. he and i had a conversation about it two weeks ago and i said why not the executive office building? why not the lobby of the trump grand hotel a couple of blocks away. he said he'd be criticized regardless of the venue. why not choose the grandest of them all and look at the show he put on those fireworks were amazing. i thought the opera singer was more of a distraction than the protesters outside the white house. i think he did great and i think that joe biden is looking over his shoulder right now. ainsley: a lot of people are worried about law and order with police officers, the largest police union is backing donald trump because they don't want the president doesn't want to de fund. he wants more police officers out there to keep all of us safe and safety is a big issue for moms and dads, and last night, the widow of that retired police captain, david dorn, killed during a protest, seemed like a wonderful man and geraldo he was in st. louis, got a call in the middle of the night that the alarm is going off at his

friend's pawn shop. he gets up, his wife said he always did to go help other people, and hi checks on it and that's when he is shot. his grandson, the shooting is on live stream social media. his grandson happened to be watching it, and didn't know at the time that that was his grandfather, fighting for his life on the sidewalk. listen to ann dorn, the wife. >> looters were ransacking the shop. they shot and killed david in cold blood. i learned of all of this around 4:00 a.m. when our door bell ran g. the chief of police was standing outside. i wondered why dave had not answered the door. i let in the chief and fighting back tears, he uttered the words every officer's spouse dreads. i relive that horror in my mind every single day. my hope is that having you re live it with me now will help

shake this country from this nightmare we are witnessing in our cities. ainsley: there was a nice guy that helped him on the sidewalk that night, geraldo and he was yelling at the gunman, as the gunman is pulling away or peeling out of the parking lot and he said all for tv's you did that for tv's you wanted to steal tv's you took that man's life away his grandkids don't have their granddad anymore. geraldo: it is infuriating to me and that's why i'm so scornful of black lives matter, black lives only matter when it's a cop, preferably a white cop, killing a black man but here look at this wonderful wonderful here hero. this police captain. a black man doesn't his life matter? it is to see her and later surrounded by her african american family and the live event. you say look at this. look what happened to this police captain. they took his life. they killed him for nothing. they killed him to put him on

social media. they treated him with such scorn and context. it was so pathetic and to hear her, making that message, that mourn full message, is unforgettable. and now, when you see the protesters, when you hear you see the hollowness, they're politicians. look at this. doesn't his black life matter? i thought it was enormously effective. he and his parents who have been on the program already this morning, i thought those were the highlights substantively speaking. those have been, those moments will be remembered. the president's speech was okay. i mean, it's not going to go down with the emancipation proclamation in the records of great oratory, but he was competent, he was confident, he exuded the authority of the office. i thought he did a great job and that is an event that was a combination of mardi gras and

4th of july and it was more like a state of the union address. ainsley: i liked it because there was no name calling i thought it was really presidential. brian: he went after biden not obama which was extremely smart even though president obama much more aggressive after donald trump trying to call him out. i think one thing is happening geraldo you're great looking around the corner seeing what's next. the fact we saw joe biden twice yesterday and kamala harris again and now we find out after labor day he's going to start campaigning and he chose those internals are revealing that trump is surging and i think this four days is going to help. your thoughts? geraldo: hillary clinton won the state of minnesota. a poll i saw yesterday showed donald trump and joe biden tied at 47 in minnesota. it's all because of minneapolis and the savaging of ordinary people's lives by looters and rioters and anarchists.

this really has struck a cord. the fact that america's cities have been burning in chicago and oakland and portland and seattle and new york and the violences at levels surging unseen in decades, this is finally resonating. i think that joe biden now is very very worried. he's lost the momentum. you know, maybe the president cheated in the race when he used the white house grounds, but it's like the officials didn't see , now the race is complete. the results are official, i believe this race now has totally shifted and i think it's donald trump's to lose now, not joe biden's. steve: see saw a poll yesterday that compared joe biden where he is now with hillary clinton. he's actually under performing which he did four years ago. geraldo rivera joining us from cleveland where he revealed at the top of the segment where he

still gets home delivery of an actual newspaper. geraldo: and the debate will be here on the 29th. steve: the debate is here every day, 6:00-9:00 just saying. thanks, geraldo. all right, 14 minutes after the top of the hour and jillian jones us with the headlines and once again we're looking at the weather. >> reporter: let's begin with the extreme weather and aerial photo showing the path of destruction left behind by hurricane laura packing 150-mile per hour winds. the storm lashing the deep south , leading lake charles, louisiana in ruins. the category 4 storm killing at least six people and taking out power, for nearly 1 million customers. winds so powerful, forcing this sign into a truck, tearing homes apart in texas. damage is estimated to cost billions of dollars. the now tropical depression causing flooding and a reported tornado in arkansas. we'll have a live report from louisiana coming up at 8:30 eastern. a business owner in tears after an employee is beaten by

president's rnc speech from the white house. actually it was a longer trip than that he joins us right now for his first live interview since that confrontation. senator good morning. that looks scary. >> yeah, you know, my wife and i it was horrific and we had two women with us who were friends of ours. we came out of the speech. steve: at the white house. >> and we looked into the street. our hotel was right across the street from the white house but he couldn't go because the mob was already chasing people down that chose to go out that exit so the secret service says get on a bus and ride to the trump hotel. so we got on a bus and it took 45 minutes to get through all the mobs and we get there safely and we say we'll get an uber to go back where we came from and we wanted to be dropped off at the hotel but a we got close to it the streets were blocked and no one would let us through and what happened is there was two blocks and i regret i made this decision but i said we'll walk the two blocks. we walked one block, but as we

walked one block, we could see police in the distance, but we also saw a mob of about 30 people marching and yelling. they all of a sudden saw me, right as we got to the police, unfortunately, i don't think we would have survived we got to the policeman, and i don't think recognized me and as they came closer they were shouting my name and the crowd doubled to 60 and then it doubled again to 120 , and as they were surround ing us and it got closer and closer and everybody kept pushing back the policemen were forming a barricade with their bodies and i wispered, they know who i am you've got to get reinforcement it's going to get worse. he called for reinforcement but we didn't get any, we waited, but the crowd was getting bigger and bigger and pushing in. they were yelling threats. they were trying to push the police over to get to me. they were grabbing at us, and it got worse and worse and worse, and finally, we decided to make a move. i said we've got to move. there's not reinforcement we have to try to get to the hotel which was another block and they were shouting threats to us, to

kill us, to hurt us, but also threats saying shout, shouting " say her name", and it's like you couldn't reason with this but i'm actually the author of the taylor law to end no knock raids so the irony is lost on these idiots they are trying to kill the person actually trying to get rid of no knock raids and they were shouting and screaming and really these people were un hinged, but i can't tell you how i'm not sure we would have made it so as we're walking sort of surrounded by the police, they're attempting push the police over to get to me, so at one point they push a policeman backwards, he stumbles and he's trying to catch his balance and i catch the back of him to stabilize him to make sure he's okay because he's our defend. if he's down the mob is loose on us, and you've seen the pictures of what they do to you. if the police are not there, if you defund the police, if we become portland, if america becomes portland, what's going to happen is people are going to

be pummeled and kicked in the head and left senseless on the curb. that would have happened to us i promise you had we not had the d.c. police to support us, we are thankful we have police, and we've got to wake up. we can't have the whole country. we can't have joe biden rule the country and have no police. i mean, we can't walk down the street in d.c. safely now. that's how bad it is. steve: i saw one police officer was actually using his bicycle to try to keep the crowd back. he fell into you, you almost stumbled and fell down. you and your wife are both okay, right? >> we are. we were unharmed, but you know it's still going on this morning there's still mobs in the street blocking the streets, and i know it sounds like over-the-top to say that people from out of town , but i think we're going to find out that these people are hired and from out of town specifically in our case, i believe they are going to be people who are involved with the attack on us that actually were paid to come here, are not from washington d.c., and are

sort of paid to be anarchists. this is disturbing because really, if you're inciting a riot that's a crime but if you're paying someone to insight a riot that person needs to go to jail as well, but we can't live this way. it's getting worse and worse. i like being free to be able to walk out and go for a walk in the park. we cannot go outside now. its become so dangerous for us and i don't hear joe biden or kamala harris saying one thing about the violence. this mob is their voters. this is the new democrat party, and if we don't resist this , united states is going to become portland. we're going to become chicago. all of these failed cities democrats have run the president said in his speech. if we allow them to take over the white house, we are going to become portland, the country will be on fire, we have to have law and order and we have to support the police. i can't say that strong enough. steve: senator some of the paper s today are reporting that what was being yelled at you was as you said "say her

name", brianna taylor, you know, you said there were obscenities. i would not like you to repeat those but you said there were threats? tell us what the threats were. >> well the threats were to f you up, you know, to kill you. the threats were if they could get a hold of you and i truly believe this with every fiber of my being, had they gotten at us they would have gotten us to the ground. we might not have been killed, might just have been injured by being kicked in the head, or kicked in the stomach until we were senseless, you've seen the pictures. most of the networks will not show the pictures of this. this is happening in all of our cities and its got to stop and thank god for the police. had we not gotten to the police, i truly leave that the police saved our lives and we would not be here today or we'd be in a hospital today had the police not been there and i'd like to thank them, if they're watching this. we thanked them last night but it was still, they were trying to get people, you know, away from us even in the hotel. people were following us into the hotel. steve: let me ask you this as an

exit question. given the fact that you said these people are still on the streets, protesters are still on the streets, and we heard from griff jenkins about half an hour ago apparently a number of businesses in washington d.c. are boarded up, because they are worried about trouble going forward. does a prominent republican, like yourself, somebody whose very recognizable, need to have security to simply walk in the streets of washington d.c. or major cities in america? >> probably, yes, from now on. i don't feel it at home. at home, people are so friendly. i can go to the grocery store and i want to live, you know, the life of a normal person where i go to the grocery store and buy groceries or stop at the minute mart and at home i do feel that, but this also isn't normal. there's something going on here. this is like the fbi needs involved. steve: what do you mean, somethings going on, senator? what do you mean? you've got a feeling tell us what you think. >> my feeling is that there is

interstate criminal traffic being paid for across state lines, but you won't know it unless you arrest them. otherwise you just think oh, these are some normal hoodlums from a big city. i promise you that at least some of the members and the people who attacked us were not from d.c., they flew here on a plane with fresh, new clothes and they were paid to be here. it is a crime to do that and it needs to be traced. the fbi needs to investigate but the only way you can do it is you have to arrest people and usually we say oh, well you didn't get hurt so we're not going to arrest them. they were inciting a riot and they would have killed us had the police not been there. they all need to be arrested an i'm not saying forever but arrested, questioned and say where are you staying, and the bills need to be subpoenaed by a judge to say who paid for your bill, how did you get here on a plane, and staying in a fancy hotel, and yet you're acting like a criminal. somethings going on here, and it's much bigger than people think, but the bottom line is we can't let the united states

become portland and that's what my fear is, that the united states is going to be on fire if we have no police, and look, i've been for reform. i've authored 22 criminal justice reforms they were yell ing at me. we're not going to let you go alive unless you'll say you're for criminal justice reform and i'm like you idiot. you are so dense that you have no idea that i've been a leading advocate for criminal justice reform, with president obama, with president trump and you're going to try to kill me and i've been trying to help the problems so this is what's sad but it's such lawlessness if we have this kind of lawlessness, i would say people are going to get killed. people have been killed. you know, the former police chief story was so sorrowful to listen to his wife that was killed in st. louis. the little girl, eight years old , was shot in the middle of the day in atlanta because they took a wrong turn, but they had let the mob take over a street corner, armed.

we can't let our cities be taken over by these thugs. steve: we're glad you are safe. you and your wife kelly, and we thank you very much for coming on to tell us your story. let's see what happens next. let's see if there is some sort of an investigation or if it just disappears as he did right there. senator, thank you. all right, exactly 8:30 that's why the satellite got clipped right there. former new york city mayor rudy giuliani blasted democrat leader s accusing them of enabl ing the mayhem and political unrest for political gain. the judge jeanine on that, next. ♪ ♪ my gums are irritated. i don't have to worry about that, do i?

murders, shootings and violent crime are increasing a percentage is unheard of in the past. we're seeing return of rioting and looting, of black lives matter and antifa sprang into action and in a flash they hijacked the peaceful protest into vicious, brutal, riots. don't let democrats do to america what they have done to new york. brian: former new york city mayor rudy giuliani lasting democratic leaders for enabling the surge of violence in some of our biggest cities. here to react the host of

justice with jeanine, author of the upcoming book "don't lie to me" judge jeanine pirro. judge, i thought rudy was really effective, but also bringing the city anarchy back home. >> well, i think that rudy giuliani is probably the best voice in america to talk about crime in the city and in any city, usa, given his experience and bringing crime down in new york city, when everybody thought the city was gone. look rudy giuliani understands what's going on with the democrats and with the socialist agenda and that is that it is anti-police and pro- criminal and it's not just democrats ordering police to stand down, it's prosecutors are being funded by certain organizations where they then come down and they say look we're not even going to prosecute you, we're not going to prosecute these looters. they have a right to peacefully protest but if you can give us evidence on the police we'll turnaround and prosecute them

for violence but rudy giuliani is the most credible person to talk about the fact that black lives matter is not conditioned about the little children being shot and being caught up in the gunfire in work and if you think it's new york city think again because it's coming to your city but i want to say one thing about the republican convention and that it is it was positive, optimistic, ordinary every day people telling stories about how the president has improved their lives and it was so effective that joe biden decides to send out kamala harris to talk about what's going on in the cities, but not one word about the chaos and violence and what we just heard rand paul talk about which is you can't walk down the street. this is going to happen to every american, this is unamerican, this is not what this country is about. look at the convention and what it was like. brian: we both had this happen to us, too if you watch what

happened with those people when they were leaving the white house after that event last night, they were being harassed by these radical mobs, there's not enough cops in the country to guard against this mania. coming up on your show, you got a great roster of guests. >> yeah, eric trump, kevin mccarthy, hershel walker, peter navarro. we've got pam bondi to talk about what's going on with the joe biden family, and all of the stuff they're doing that has caused them to be so so wealthy even though they are government people. it's going to be an exciting show, and one of these days, brian i'm going to get you on and you'll co-host. brian: that be my honor, judge thanks so much have a great show i know it will be. >> thank you. brian: meanwhile beings congressman jim jordan, former congressman trey gowdy will join us, next. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. i wish i could shake your hand.

increasing testing, getting more protective gear for healthcare workers and calling for mask mandates nationwide. as president, he'll get working families back on their feet by lowering healthcare costs and helping small businesses recover. so what happens now? we elect a president who will build back better. i'm joe biden and i approve this message. ...to soccer practices... ...and new adventures. you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past... they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. let's help protect them together. because missing menb vaccination could mean missing out on a whole lot more. ask your doctor if your teen is missing meningitis b vaccination.

we walked one block but as we walked one block, we could see some police in the distance but we also saw a mob of about 30 people marching and yelling. they all of a sudden saw me, right as we got to the police unfortunately or i don't think we would have survived we got to the policeman, and the policeman i don't think recognized me and as they came closer they were shouting my name and the crowd doubled to 60 and then it doubled again to 120, and as they were surrounding us and it got closer and closer and everybody kept pushing back the policemen were forming a barricade with their bodies. i wispered to the policeman, they know who i am, you've got to get reinforcement it's going to get worse. ainsley: that's kentucky senator rand paul, responding to being ambushed by a mob of protesters as he and his wife were leaving the president's rnc speech from the white house last night. here to react is ohio congressman jim jordan and former south carolina congressman and fox news contributor and author of the

new book "doesn't hurt to ask" mr. trey gowdy. thanks, guys for being with us. >> good to be with you. >> yes ma'am. ainsley: congressman i'll start with you, because this affects you, you were there last night. do you feel like you need security and how did you get out safely? >> well we were, i was very worried about that. holly was with me, and before we walked out i actually decided to call leader mccarthy and ask him if he had left the grounds yet and he was still at the white house and of course the leader has clip police detail with him and i just asked kevin can we jump in with you pile into your suburban and get back to capitol hill so we were fortunate. i was nervous to walk out particularly when i had polly with me and congressman davidson's wife lisa was with and this is scary. rand is right. the attorney general asked the appropriate question one month ago today, and in that hearing we had on capitol hill he asked the democrats, why won't edenounce the mob? why won't you denounce the violence and he was met with

silence so we've got to speak out against this and this has got to stop and rand said said said it right if it's joe biden 's america we'll get more unfortunately. brian: congressman, trey gowdy you have a guy next to you whose a national wrestler can handle himself but you can't handle 100 guys and especially when you're with your wife or other people, how do we get here? i'm sure when you got to washington you never feared for your safety. maybe a debate on the street corner. what happened? >> well nancy pelosi called kevin mccarthy an en it any of the state. alice johnson last night was called a prop by politico. look at tim scott's twitter accounts sometimes look at the things he's called. a democrat congressman questioned his blackness this week because he happened to speak at the rnc. public safety is the number one function of government and if you've got a three-time ncaa wrestling champion who is asking for a ride out of somewhere you know it's out of control. rand paul is an eye doctor.

jim jordan was a national champion wrestler so if he's asking for a ride out of some place you know it's out of control, public safety is on the ballot in november. the contrast is pretty stark. steve: congressman jordan, you obviously watched the rand paul interview about 15 minutes ago. he suggested that it was organized, and some of the people who were outside who were protesting various people were being paid or at least transported there. they flew in and stuff like that what do you know about that? >> i don't know other than what the president said when he said antifa should be labeled a terrorist organization, and we know -- steve: was that antifa last night? >> well we don't know but what we do know is the judy miller is looking into this and that is critically important, and trey is exactly right. this double standard we get from the democrats. think about what americans have had to live through the last few months. you can't go to church, you can't go to work, school, the beach, you couldn't go to a

loved one's funeral, you can't vote in person and can't play college football but for goodness sake you can riot, protest and you can loot. that is ridiculous and trey is exactly right. we've got to call this out every leader has to call this out and why in the world democrat leader s in these cities and in these states, why they won't call it out why they won't get control of it i do not know but it is getting out of control and if it is organized, as the senator suggested, i'm sure the justice department is looking into this and we need to hold people accountable. ainsley: trey we're watching police officers and they're saying it's not worth it any more we're going to retire. is congress saying the same thing, you can't go to a restaurant with your family or the white house for the rnc? >> well rand has been attacked twice now keep in mind he had his ribs broken by a neighbor, i'll put that in quotes, sarah sarah huckabee sanders was forced to leave a restaurant. we want good people in public service, but yeah, but being a cop was always a tough job,

ainsley, and it's now just not worth it, for the ones that i've talked to. public safety, the number one function of government, if you believe that, you have a chance to prove it in november. brian: congressman, the other thing is, and both congressman, real quick, when you make the arrest, you find out if they're being paid. you find out why they're here. who new you here? who gave you that outfit? where is that backpack from? why do you have a radio in your ear? how come we don't have answers to any of these questions but we have riots for months in all these cities? >> because the prosecutors aren't doing their job in is of these cities just letting them back out after arrested but i don't think we should lose sight , this is critically important but contrast this with what happened over the last four days. i said this the other day. turns out americans love america and you saw that on display, night after night, hershel walker's story, lou holtz, alice johnson's story and on and on we could go about

what this country offers its citizens if they have a goal they work hard and make it happen. this is still the greatest place ever that's why it's so important we get a handle on what is going on in these urban areas what is happening in these cities and hold people accountable. steve: and the thing that freaked out the polls was the fact that in addition to the expletives that's freedom of speech but it was the death threats. all right, congressman, thank you very much for joining us on this friday. >> thank you. >> sure. steve: you bet. coming up after the president commuted her life sentence, alice johnson issued a powerful speech last night and she's going to join us live, next. it's time for the biggest sale of the year on the sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help with snoring? i've never heard snoring. exactly. no problem. ...and done save 50% on the sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed.

when president trump heard about me, about the injustice of my story, he saw me as a person. he had compassion, and he acted six months after president trump granted me a second chance, he signed the first step act into law that brought joy, hope, and freedom to thousands of well- deserving people. ainsley: alice johnson spent more than 20 years, t2 22 to be exact behind bars for a non- violent drug offense until president trump commuted her sentence in 2018.

last night at the rnc, she praised the president's push for criminal justice reform and for giving her a second chance and alice joins us now, hey, alice good to see you. >> hi good to see you too, ainsley. ainsley: i watched everything last night. why was it important for you to be up there on stage? >> it was very important for me to be there, to give hope to prisoners, and also, to talk about how important criminal justice reform is. ainsley: and what was your reaction when you were up there, from the folks that i thought you were up there on stage and you went down in the audience and the president even talked about you in his address and the cameras want to see you. what was everyone saying? >> oh, they were so happy. many were in tears, because they said that my story moved them. i was in a very dark place, a very dark hopeless situation that i'd never lost my hope, and instead of turning inward, and being bitter about my situation,

i decided to help the women who were there and not just myself but what i could do for others. ainsley: i remember asking this when i flew down to your sister's house to interview you after you got out of prison and i asked you how many people behind bars are deserving of a second chance. what was your answer? >> i don't remember exactly, but i still in my heart no that there's too many to even count. there's too many to even put a number on, ainsley, and they deserve, they deserve, they are rehabilitated and not a safety risk but they are still there. ainsley: you told me about a third. a third of the people behind bars, because you became such good friends with everyone after 22 years. >> yes, absolutely. ainsley: alice i want to talk to you about this because politico sent out a tweet that says alice johnson in trump's criminal justice reform push delivered her rnc address tonight and she's propped up as one of the most prominent

beneficiaries of the terms of the first step act. kim kardashian played a role in her prison release. do you think you're being prop ped up by this campaign? >> no, ainsley. what amazes me about the things that are being said is that another form of prisoner spoke at the dnc last week, and she was not called a prop for choosing to speak there. i don't have the choice to speak where i want to. i'm a person who was very honor ed to be there last night, so i just don't know this double standard. ainsley: i know tim scott people are questioning his blackness, because he's a black republican. how do you respond to that? >> well, both tim scott and i were both born black and we're going to die black, and we are exercising our choice, and our right and our freedom to use our

minds. i'm not a prop and i'm not a puppet. i make my own choices as to what i'd like to do. ainsley: you are free. you said that last night. >> i am free. ainsley: go live your life, alice god bless you. >> thank you. god bless you ainsley. goodbye. ainsley: more fox & friends moments away. discomfort back there? instead of using aloe, or baby wipes, or powders. try the cooling, soothing relief of preparation h. because your derriere deserves expert care. try new soothing relief.

>> all right. leaving you with some of the fireworks from last night. it has been a long two weeks. we didn't actually have to go
