american in this country. he wants to make that known. todd: laura trump says the president reached out to jacob blake's family for a potential meeting. so far there are no plans. jillian: tammy bruce says the timing of the riots is strategic. >> it's not a coincidence that this is happening if 2020. we know there has been a problem when it comes to equity and law enforcement and to the way people of color have been treated. the fact that this is happening this year is not organic. this has been a long-term problem, deserves results. but it's because the election year, this is organized, this is not an american movement as kamala harris and everybody else says. she even went on stephen colbert and told americans to beware and then encouraged it to continue. this is all they have and the american people should know that and it is something that the president must confront and get some control over.

jillian: joe biden addressed the violence and looting for the first time last week. todd: an hours long police standoff ending under bizarre circumstances after reports of gunfire at a pro trump caravan rally. a woman appeared to have her tire blown out by a bullet or bullet fragment. witnesses point todd a building, providing a picture of a man with a rifle on a balcony. when the s.w.a.t. team entered, there was no one there. police are searching for a suspect. jillian: a fox news alert now, a st. louis police officer shot in the head after responding to a shooting call has died. 29-year-old tamaras bohanan was with the department for three and-a-half years. his family releasing a better saying, quote, he is a hero to many but most importantly to his loving wife and three incredible

the middle east and beyond. >> reporter: now, this has deepened the riff between the israelis and the palestinian as the administration does try to continue pushing forward the deal of the century peace plan. take a listen to what netanyahu and a senior palestinian official had to say in response to these developments. >> as more arab and muslim countries join the circle of peace, the palestinians will eventually understand that this dissipated and they will be hard-pressed to remain outside the community of peace. >> i never expected this dagger, poison dagger to come from another country. i'm standing up for the last six months facing trump and netanyahu. >> reporter: this deal does temporarily halt netanyahu's plans to annex key parts of the west bank, there is ongoing tension between the israelis and

palestinians. they are trying to hammer out a temporary ska cease fire to avoa new round of violence in the coming days. todd: as you saw on your screen right there, that was a live shot of the plane there at the airport of. so telling that it was painted -- the word peace was painted in english, hebrew and arabic, obviously a sign of what people around the world are hoping to have happen in the middle east, peace. and bringing all those groups together would be one way to accomplish that. jillian: we will continue to follow this for you and bring you the very latest. in the meantime, we are following this. racial justice front and center during the mtv video music award. the weekend addressing recent protests during his acceptance speech for best r & b video. >> it's hard for me to celebrate right now and enjoy this moment so i'm going to say justice for jacob blake and justice for breonna taylor.

jillian: we are back with a fox news alert. police officers across the country shot or injured after a brutal weekend. it has been months of nonstop unrest in some of our major cities. how do we stop the violence happening? joining me now you to discuss is former nypd detective, dr. oscar odem and mason jasonette. we have had this discussion so many times. angel, i'm curious if you have any thoughts this morning on better ways to try to stop the violence on both ends. nothing seems to be working right now. >> i think that a supportive police being a partisan issue is a huge problem. we need to stop these leaders in these democrat-run cities who

are constantlyvill constantly ve police, athletes that villify police, they stop games. it's ridiculous and it needs to stop. jillian: let's take a look at the map of the violence against police that happened across the country this weekend. you can see a number of cities involved in this, dr. odem. look, i mean, athletes and others will argue that they're trying to get their point across as well, that there's a strong message there. yet angel said something that i think a lot of need to listen to, and that is that this shouldn't be a partisan issue in support of our police officers because many of them are good. >> most definitely. you know, condolences to the police officer in st. louis who paid the ultimate sacrifice to him and his family and the thing is, one of the things that -- there needs to be more support of the police officers.

the data is showing that shootings, murders, robberies are constantly going up, increasing exponentially. the other thing they don't understand is that term, no justice, no peace, also is interpreted that if there is no justice, meaning that the court systems are not functioning, they're not prosecuting and convicting people who are committing these crimes, there will be no peace in the communities because there is no justice because you keep on letting them back out and you're not protecting your police officers so there will be no peace because there is no true justice. jillian: let's talk about what's going on in wisconsin for a second. the gofer nor -- governor there tells the president that he's not welcome, president trump wants to go out there, he wants to visit kenosha, he's attempting to discuss what happened to jacob blake with his family or of jacob blake himself, to our best knowledge nothing has been set where that is concerned. how does this help? does this help at all, the

governor telling the president not to visit, dr. odem? >> definitely it does not help. this is the united states of america. we having called democracy. whether you agree or disagree with a person, he is the president of the united states of america and, therefore, his voice should be heard. to be able express his viewpoint and say what's on his mind and also the fact that he is backing the police officers. no one should tell the president you cannot say this. this is america. we have freedom of speech and this is the president so he can say what he wants to say and we know he's going to say something that will support you law enforcement and law and order many this is what this country was built on, law and order and that's what we need. people are dying. the people that are dying are the public, the public are suffering. they're suffering because of this by holding back and handcuffing the police officers. the police officers are there to protect and serve. this is what we want. jillian: angel, i want you to a

look at a video right now, this is one of the performances, the vmas last night by an artist known as the baby. in this video you sees jumping on top of a police vehicle while the city behind him is in flames, it's burning. there's a sign on the left side of the screen that says "stop killing us." i'm curious what this does to the mental state of the many, the thousands of good police officers who risk their lives every day, they wake up in the morn, they kiss their kids good-bye and don't know if they're coming home that day. >> it's disheartening for police. they're constantly painted as the enemy of black people in particular, right, which is false. okay. there's over 900 million interactions between the police and people of every color in this country a year. there's 7,000 black homicides a year. police account for 0.02% of those homicides. i mean, it's unfortunate that,

again, these athletes, these celebrities, they want a virtue signal, they want to act like the police are the problem when they're not. jillian: we are out of time. thank you for joining us. and we'll be right back. while i was in the navy,

i decided that i wanted to go for electrical engineering and you need to go to college for that.

if i didn't have internet in the home i would have to give up more time with my kids. which is the main reason i left the military. everybody wants more for their kids, but i feel like with my kids, they measurably get more than i ever got. and i get to do that. i get to provide that for them. todd: welcome back. researchers now believe that children with asymptomatic cases of coronavirus could spread the virus for weeks, which could help explain the 21% increase in cases in kids this month. jillian: family and emergency medicine doctor. dr. nesheiwat joins us with more on what parents should know as kids head back to school. thank you for joining us. this is the news we were fearful of. what is your messaging to

parents? >> basically what this tells us, this small study, it took 91 kids and found that a fifth of them, just a small number, continued to spread the virus when they tested positive. fortunately, it's just a small number and what it tells us is that it reminds us we need continued testing and surveillance. a lot of schools will require their children and the students to be tested before they can go back to the classroom. it also reminds us that we need to make sure that we continue with preventative measures, meaning wearing a mask, cleaning, disinfecting, making sure that we're taking care of those who are most vulnerable, making sure we have good ventilation in the classroom, opening up a window, allowing hybrid schedules, meaning if some students could stay home and practice their classroom work, their student studies, they can do that from home versus being in the classroom. all these preventative measures together can help minimize the spread from one person to

another. it's easily spread with coughing and sneezing. this study tells us we have to continue preventative measures and not let our guard now. todd: the fda commissioner says he's willing to fast track a coronavirus vaccine before clinical trials are done. is that a good idea? >> well, maybe six months ago it may have been a good idea. right now, it's really important that we conduct phase three because phase three is what tells us is it safe, is the vaccine going to work, what are the side effects. so this is really important. and the way to determine this is you through time. through following a large number of patients, a large number of volunteers who are inoculated with this vaccine to see are they going to have any side effects. with emergency use authorization, this is usually reserved for therapeutics, we saw it with hydroxychloroquine, with remdesivir, with convalescent plasma, to those who are already ill. we're giving this vaccine to a

healthy population. we want to be careful, not cause any potential harm. we do that with proper studies and evaluation and trials. todd: dr. nesheiwat, we appreciate your insight and we will see. thank you very much. >> thank you. jillian: it is 27 minutes after the hour. as unrest spreads across the country, joe biden hits the campaign trail, asking are you safe in donald trump's america. todd: who is the real law and order candidate? our panel debates, next.

jillian: good morning. welcome back. we are back with a fox news alert now. police firing tear gas and smoke bombs to break up protests intensifying outside of the white house overnight. >> if we don't get no justice. >> then you don't get no peace. jillian: protesters lighting fireworks while marching through neighborhoods, this one day after five officers were injured during violent protests in the

city's black lives matter plaza. police say officers were hit with rocks, bricks and fireworks. five people were arrested for assaulting an officer and rioting. while joe biden has condemned what he calls needless violence, donald trump junior says he and his party missed their chance to deter violence in liberal-led cities. take a listen. >> not one person at the dnc condemned the looting, the rioting, the violence that's been going on in, again, democrat-controlled states, democrat-run cities. it was an embarrassment. the fact that they had a week to address the violence that's going on, the looting, the burning down of buildings, now it's happening in our suburbs, if you just look at what's going on in wisconsin. this isn't isolated to big inner cities. it's a disgrace. they had a week to touch it. and not one person even mentioned it. jillian todd: as donald trump junior mentioned, democrats finally addressing the violence now that

it has spilled into the suburbs. it all comes as joe biden heads to pennsylvania to push the new talking point that the country is less safe in president trump's america. >> he has encouraged his supporters to go out, to be aggressive. it. is better for this president if there is more anarchy, more violence, more chaos. he has had every opportunity to try to fan the flames here. todd: after months of silence from biden and the democrats, will voters believe that this is all president trump's fault? democratic strategist anthony toll and chairwoman of the tea party patriot citizen fund jenny bess martin join me now to debate. anthony, first question to you. isn't this strategy that biden is now taking on, blaming the president, sort of a slippery slope in light of the fact that the violence we're seeing is mostly in democrat run cities? >> it is. and it's a problem, the fact that the former vice president

has waited so long. i do think now he needs to get on top of the message and get -- and try to reclaim the narrative. however, the ideal that it's president trump's nation or vice president biden's nation, i think that's pretty clear by the fact that president trump is the president. even if president trump wins, it's still going to be democratically ran cities and ran states so it's unreasonable to say this is what's going to happen if biden wins, because it's still going to be the same thing that it is now. i don't think the vice president has pushed that message enough. i'm hoping they're able to push it this week with some kind of pushback. todd: your response, i mean, the president is the president right now. president trump is in office while all this is happening. your response? >> well, yes, he's the president. he's offered to help these cities get the violence under control.

he and the national guard. and where they've taken him up on it, they're able to get things under control. where they're not taking him up on it they're running into very serious problems, destruction of property, fires, looting, rioting. it is terrible. and it's because th they are refusing it. vice president biden has been very -- [audio difficulties] -- reducing the funds for police, which is close to defunding the police and it's a real problem. there's a clear difference, supporting law and order on the one hand, which president trump is doing, and being for law -- being against law and order, means in effect you're for lawlessness which is what joe biden is doing. todd: your awed grow -- audio is a little choppy there.

the president said i want to send in federal troops. the president has said, look, i do not want to defund police. what more can president trump do? >> well, that's a good argument that the president will have but it doesn't get around the fact that more than likely if the president prevails and gets a second term, he'll still be dealing with those democratic cities and those democratically ran cities and mayors. the president's message is, this what is the country is going to look like under a biden presidency, biden is fair to say this is what it's like under a trump presidency, right now. so that's kind of -- i agree that the president has taken control of the narrative but that's because the democrats and biden have waited too long to respond. hopefully he can get on message starting this week, starting tomorrow, and he can point out the fact that this is the president's economy, it's the president's coronavirus issue and the violence in the streets starts with the president, and he's the ones who should be able

to clear it up, regardless of the fact that the democrats leads most of the cities. it stops with him, he's the president. todd: we'll try one more with you, hopefully we can get the audio on this one. what do you want to see the president do besides what he has done in response to the violence we're seeing throughout our nation? >> well, what he's doing is the right thing to do. he is offering to help he's able to offer. i think that he can just be very clear that he's making that help available and they're refusing it. he could challenge biden, urge the democrat mayors to accept the help. at some point we have to say we're all americans and we want what's best for the country and i haven't seen the democrats doing that. trump is doing that. todd: all right. again, thank you you for fighting through the audio problems there. i think we got the points out.

anthony and jenny beth, we appreciate your time this morning. have a great one. jillian, over to you. jillian: congressman ken buck doubling down on rand paul's call for a probe into recent mob attacks, tweeting the justice department needs to open an investigation into who is funding the violent riots, expressing dismay after seeing senator paul and his wife attacked by pro. heatherprotesters whilewalking e white house following the republican national convention. the nypd using facial recognition to catch a man accused of trying to rape a woman on a subway platform. police say video shows jose reyes assaulting a woman after pushing her to the ground. other people on the platform were able to stop him. she is okay. reyes has been arrested 14 times, including for other crimes on the train. a deadly drive-by shooting capping off a violent weekend in

backing dni ratcliffe, explaining that while the delivery message may change, congress will still receive the same information. >> we have briefings, in-person briefings set up this week for the senate and the house and we have another eight or nine scheduled between now and the election. again, i think what people need to differentiate between what the department does and what the intelligence community does, they're going to continue to provide congress all the information they need in a written finished intelligence product so that congress can have the information they need to do their oversight responsibilities. this is not about limiting access, this is about providing the information to congress, they're going to do that in a different format. todd: congressman fred keller will join us in the next hour to he respond to the democrats' outcry. even nature needs to let off a little steam these days. check this out, one of the largest geysers at yellow stone national park roaring back to live after six and-a-half years, shooting a column of steam up to nearly 200 feet in the air.

>> these kids are coming to the united states looking for protection under our laws. we have a moral and legal responsibility to ensure that their cases can be heard. >> reporter: court monitors say the u.s. detained 600 children in hotels last month. while many families wait in mexico. for an asylum court date, whenever the pandemic ends. the poverty driving central americans north hasn't changed. caravans allowed migrants to avoid paying smugglers. mexico's crackdown make that impossible. will it change? president trump favors continued asylum restrictions. joe biden does not, calling existing policies detrimental. jillian: it is 47 minutes after the hour. a rapper uses the vmas to condemn police brutality. todd: but did it go too far? joe koncha reacts, next.

jillian: welcome back. joe biden hits the trail after campaigning primarily from his basement and now some democrats with record weed the nominee's strategy could backfire. todd: joining us to weigh in, media reporter for the hill, joe concha. here is the line from the democratic strategist, it reasons as follows, quote, if you're not going to be out on the trail, you should be doing interviews every single day. for whatever reason they have determined that they can't put him out there. that's the worst strategy. they need to get on the offensive, get out and talk to press. their strategy is running out the clock but they better expletive pray for an expletive debate, this of course in the hill, your publication there, joe. do you agree? >> well, i was hoping you would

say the f word. it is cable. you're allowed, right? jillian: no, no, joe. [ laughter ] >> look, joe biden has done two press conferences in 150 days. you juxtapose that with president trump or kayleigh mcenany who do press conferences a day on most days including weekends. what happens here, guys, is when you're not out speaking to the press or in joe biden's or kamala harris' case, you get the party nomination on august 20th and announce publicly you're not going to start campaigning until around september 10th, which i believe it's about three weeks after you get the nomination, out of your convention, you're not talking to the people? you're not talking to the media? you risk being defined by your opponent and that's what's happening right now. cities are burning. people see people dying in american streets. i'm not making this up. we see reports on a daily basis. and now they look weak. the people you're looking at,

for not talking to people about what they would do, particularly kamala harris as a former prosecutor, by the way. when you do that unfortunately, your poll numbers start to go down and now we've seen the real clear politics average, the eight polls averaged out in battleground states, we're in a dead heat now, where joe biden was up by 7 points not even two months ago. that's where we're at, the state of the race. joe biden doesn't have any momentum. president trump has all the momentum while he's out there speaking to people. jillian: i was going to ask you, maybe this is a little bit of it, are the polls that you referenced but i was going to ask what do you think made the sudden shift? it was just about a week ago that joe biden did an interview with i believe it was abc news where he was asked about campaigning in his basement, can you win from your basement. joe biden says yes. all of a sudden we're hearing he's going to be on the campaign trail. it seems a little odd to make the shift.

>> he still said, though, gillian that he's not going to go out until after labor day, in other words we'll take another week off and maybe we can run out the clock. hillary clinton said i often did not prioritize media the way i should have. trump would interview with everyone in his pajamas as i am from the waist down. they would take him. it was a consistent strand presence. i think i -- constant presence. i think i made a gross miss calculation. this is -- miscalculation. this is hillary clinton telling joe biden. people want to hear from the leaders that want to run the country. joe biden isn't doing that right now. todd: rapper d ebay by jumped on a police car as a city burned in the background, this was a vma performance, your reaction. >> if you're coming in new york, you didn't have t quarante
