6:01 am
describe him as a good man. >> he was not a radical, not a racist and he was not a fascist. he was not an insider or instigator. he was a freedom loving american who died expressing his beliefs. a right guaranteed to all of us through the constitution. >> sandra: the scene outside of mayor wheeler's home last night turned destructive for protestors setting fires in the street prompting police to declare a riot. more on the developing situation in portland in just a moment. but first later today president trump will be visiting kenosha, wisconsin, large protests are expected and more than 1,000 national guard troops are standing by. the president is planning to meet with law enforcement on the ground there after last week's riots. despite growing requests from state and city leaders to cancel his visit. good morning, i'm sandra smith. hello, trace. >> good morning. i'm trace gallagher.
6:02 am
the wisconsin governor urged president trump to not take his trip. but the president wants to thank officers in kenosha for their response to the violence. >> the governor says he doesn't want you to come. why is it important for you to be seen by the people of wisconsin now? >> president trump: because i'm a tremendous fan of law enforcement. i want to thank law enforcement. when the governor said he would prefer i not come, i'm the one that called him and said tony, you have to bring out the national guard. well, i don't really want to do it. >> sandra: fox team coverage for you on tuesday morning. katie pavlich standing by with analysis. peter doocy is in delaware and we begin with garrett tenney live in kenosha. what will the president be doing on this trip? >> sandra, the president has three stops on his trip as of now. he will be touring some of the damage from last week's riot.
6:03 am
he will be touring and visiting an emergency operation center and holding a round table with law enforcement officers here in kenosha. one thing that is not on the president's agenda, though, is meeting with the family of jacob blake. the white house says it has been reaching out to the family over the past week to try to arrange a phone call with blake's mother. president trump yesterday said the family's attorneys were insisting being on that phone call which he thought was inappropriate. for now it will not be happening. the family's attorney has issued a statement saying if the call had occurred, ms. jackson was prepared to ask president trump to watch the video of mr. blake's shooting and do what she has asked all of america to do. examine your heart. after speaking with folks the past few days there are concerns the president's trip could reignite a lot of tensions we saw last week after things have largely begun to calm down. we know of at least several
6:04 am
protests -- counter protests scheduled to take place during the president's visit today, sandra. >> sandra: grabbing a lot of headlines this morning also is the president in that briefing late yesterday when he weighed in on the 17-year-old who shot three people during those protests last week. what are we hearing? >> sandra, one week ago today that took place. kyle rittenhouse came to kenosha as part of a group that was coming out to protect local businesses after two nights of riots and destruction. and rittenhouse, his attorneys say -- they tell us he acted in self-defense when he sthot three people. two fatally. yesterday president trump expressed a similar view. >> president trump: that was an interesting situation. you saw the same tape as i saw. and he was trying to get away from them, i guess, it looks like. and he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it was something that we're looking at right now and it is
6:05 am
under investigation. i guess he was in very big trouble. he probably would have been killed but it's under investigation. >> witness video of the shootings does appear to show protestors chasing rittenhouse but not violently attacking him. not to say that wouldn't have happened but the video doesn't some that. they didn't have a chance to do that because two of the people he fatally shot appeared to be trying to take away the ar-15 rifle he was carrying at the time. rittenhouse is facing six charges, the most serious of which is first degree intentional homicide which carries a minimum life sentence. mandatory life sentence here in wisconsin. >> sandra: we expect the president to leave shortly. garrett tenney, thank you. >> trace: joe biden laying into president trump in his first post convention campaign speech in pittsburgh accusing the president trying to incite
6:06 am
street protests. >> it is worse and you know why. donald trump adds fuel to every fire. because he refuses to acknowledge there is a racial justice problem in america and he won't stand up to any form of violence. >> trace: peter doocy is live for us in wilmington, delaware. what else did biden have to say in his speech? >> joe biden is now also asking voters to take a step back. >> you know me. you know my heart. you know my story. my family's story. ask yourself do i look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters? really? >> but because joe biden never specifically condemned antifa by name and never explained why members of his staff donated to a fund that bailed george floyd protestors out of jail in may the trump campaign is insisting
6:07 am
biden did not go far enough and the president is saying biden is not strong but instead -- >> president trump: look, he is a weak person. he has weak all his life. now he is really weak. he shouldn't be running for president. he should not be there. >> biden's trip to pittsburgh included a brief pizza delivery for emts. two quick local news interviews but other than that his interaction with swing state voters was limited. a few dozen showed up. he never popped out to wave. his main focus was on the speech and trying to make the case that president trump is trying to distract voters away from his covid response. >> this is a sitting president of the united states of america. he is supposed to be protecting this country. but instead he is rooting for chaos and violence. the simple truth is donald trump failed to protect america so now he is trying to scare america.
6:08 am
>> biden does not have any events on his public schedule today. there is just a virtual fundraiser that we know about and within the last two or three minutes a protective pool traveling with biden just advised us not to expect to see him at all today. >> trace: peter doocy live in wilmington, thank you. we'll have more on the 2020 race coming up shortly when former wisconsin governor scott walker joins the show and he will also give us his take on president trump's visit to kenosha later on today. >> sandra: we look forward to that. for more on this let's bring in katie pavlich editor for town hall.com. i'll start with the "new york post" front page this morning. joe biden asks quoting him do i look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters? joe biden took to the campaign trail yesterday and made a pretty big speech. did it make a big splash in
6:09 am
this race? >> well, it's very obvious that joe biden and his campaign are trying to take back the argument here when it comes to public safety. we've seen public safety, law and order shoot to the top of the issues of the polling when it comes to what people are focused on and worried about. in minnesota we're seeing the president is tied with joe biden. the biden campaign is spending a lot of money on ads in minnesota. that's based on the law and order issue. also on top of that you've seen president trump receive endorsement that typically endorse democratic candidates for president. biden is trying to take that back. it will be difficult considering the things joe biden talked about his speech. he pointed out do i look like a radical socialist who has the soft spot for rioters? the vice presidential pick he chose, kamala harris, was tweeting out links to bail out
quote
6:10 am
rioters in places like minnesota, minneapolis, where businesses were burned to the ground in may and june. so they are going to have to explain that. and also he accuses the president of wanting chaos and continued violence when all the president has been doing is offering federal help for the violence. they're trying to bury it, and that isn't going to work and they have to address it at some point. i'm not sure the argument they made what the president's actions have been is going to work. >> sandra: michael goodwin this morning said finally condemns riots only to blame them on trump. that was the same reaction that the president had with this tweet immediately following biden's speech yesterday. he tweeted just watch what biden had to say. he is blaming the police far more than blaming the rioters which he could never blame or he would lose the radical left
6:11 am
bernie supports and then here is the president yesterday. he did hold this briefing and gave a new interview, of course, as well, saying he was upset that joe biden didn't specifically call out antifa. listen. >> president trump: he didn't mention the far left or from what i saw i don't believe he mentioned the word antifa. antifa is a criminal organization and he didn't mention antifa thugs. mostly seemed to blame the police and law enforcement. >> sandra: grabbing a lot of the headlines this morning was the president in that moment responding to questions about kyle rittenhouse. as we know the investigation is still ongoing and the president pointed that out himself. he was asked to condemn his actions and he suggested that this could have been self-defense. we'll see what the investigation turns up. does that help to have the president do that?
6:12 am
the democrats say he is fanning the flames of violence after that. >> the president is answering questions. whether it's helpful or not is a question. he is simply answering questions he is being asked in this public setting when he gives these briefings. as he mentioned that investigation is ongoing. there have been a lot of assumptions by members of the media about exactly what happened there. but the president clearly since the beginning has been trying to stop violence on all sides and he has offered federal help over and over again to avoid the breakdown in civil society. whether it's 90 plus days in portland of riots and antifa-type trying to attack the courthouse. trying to put cement on the doors to burn down the federal courthouse with federal marshals and other agents inside. attacking police precincts and now murdering and killing people because of their
6:13 am
political affiliations. the president has been trying to prevent that from happening and a breakdown in society while governors and mayors continue to reject that federal help. and the biden campaign is trying to take back that argument. one thing that joe biden said yesterday, he believes these kinds of people should be prosecuted. he didn't say as president i will take these steps to stop this kind of rioting. he also claimed that none of this took place under the obama-biden administration. that's not troou. there was rioting in baltimore and ferguson and a lot of violence on the streets. the distinct contrast between president obama at the white house correspondents association with a split screen of riots going on under his watch. >> sandra: i want to get this to you, katie. in an interview he was answering laura's question whether or not he wants his supporters to confront this violence in america's city
6:14 am
streets and he answered like this, watch. >> do you want your supporters to confront the left wing protestors >> president trump: no, i don't want them. i want to leave it to law enforcement. but my supporters are wonderful, hard working, tremendous people. and they turn on their television set and they look at a portland or a kenosha before i got involved and stopped it. >> very important distinct the president made in that interview. final thoughts. >> his point is this is why the administration has bolstering police resources and why they are bolstering the idea of bringing in the national guard to avoid conflict. he wants law enforcement to take care of the riots and restore law and order. that's the point he was making. >> trace: d.c. appeals court ruling against the justice
6:15 am
department's motion to dismiss the case against michael flynn. what it means for the former national security advisor. plus president trump gearing up to visit kenosha, wisconsin today despite pleas from state and city officials to cancel his trip. former wisconsin governor scott walker weighs in on that next. >> president trump: kenosha was something we did a good job on. the governor didn't want us there. he didn't want the national guard, as you know. very reluctant. but i give him credit he ultimately said yes and once he said yes, the problem ended. straining, and bloating, again and again. no way. more exercise. more water. and more fiber is the only way to manage it. is it? maybe you think... it's occasional constipation. maybe it's not. it could be a chronic medical condition called ibs-c, and time to say yesss! to linzess.
6:16 am
linzess works differently than laxatives. it helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. change your thinking to ibs-c. if your constipation and belly pain keeps coming back, tell your doctor and say yesss! to linzess.
6:19 am
>> sandra: a federal appeals court keeping the criminal case against michael flynn alive. the full d.c. court of appeals sending the case against him back to the trial judge. the justice department wants to drop the prosecution of flynn it pursued for more than two years. appeals court ruling give the trial judge the green light to hold a hearing on why the d.o.j. changed its tune. >> we always have room for presidents to come to visit. candidates to come to visit. that's the process that you have and it's something that we appreciate and have people do. but the timing on this we felt was not good and so we did make the request for him to do it at
6:20 am
a different time. >> trace: the was the democratic mayor of kenosha, wisconsin. the president expected to take time on his trip to thank law enforcement. if i didn't insist on having the national guard go into kenosha, wisconsin there would be no kenosha right now and great death and injury. i want to thank law enforcement and the national guard. i will see you on tuesday. let's bring in former wisconsin governor scott walker. great to see you. the governor of wisconsin, tony evers, says the president's visit will hinder our healing. on the flip side the president says it will increase enthusiasm, love and respect for our country. what do you think about the timing of today's visit, sir? >> i think the president should absolutely be there. he is completely right. after three nights of essentially almost burning the city down and sadly two deaths finally the democrat governor anticipated the president's offer of assistance and things
6:21 am
indeed did calm down, thank god for that after the national guard came in in force and helped with local law enforcement. the president right now is going to come in and thank law enforcement and national guard. to talk to the people who live in the community and who have small businesses. many of which are boarded up or some cases burned to the ground and talk about how do you rebuild this great city and make it wonderful for everyone? the president is the only one really up front talking about that. and i think he absolutely should be there and i'm glad that he is. >> trace: i want to get your thought. you said earlier two people killed in kenosha, wisconsin, the president has many times condemned the violence and in this case didn't really condemn the 17-year-old bringing that gun allegedly. what are your thoughts on the way the president has handled that part of the kenosha violence? >> well, the president as just mentioned made very clear when talking to laura ingraham he wants law enforcement involved
6:22 am
with this. that's his preference and what he has covered in kenosha and in the portland, the mayor and governor there both democrats, liberals refuse to accept federal assistance. he could help clean up the mess in all these major cities across the country that are seeing turmoil under democrat leadership if only they would accept as kenosha and wisconsin did the assistance. things calmed down. they got back on the right track. sadly i think what you see in the last few days are democrat governor and democrat mayor and democrat attorney general and democrat nominee joe biden realizing the polls across the country people want reform, yes, but also want a stop to the senseless violence. that's what the president is offering. >> trace: speaking of the former vice president i want you to listen what joe biden said about president trump yesterday, sir. >> i find it fascinating, quote, you won't be safe in joe biden's america and what's their proof? the violence we're seeing in
6:23 am
donald trump's america. these are not images of some imagined joe biden america of the future. these are images of donald trump's america today. >> trace: the intimation here, of course, is that the president is causing the violence among the left. your thoughts on that. >> joe biden is an absolute joke and he is proving it again and again. they are trying to flip the script. they know they are in trouble. they know they're desperately in trouble. joe biden has outsourced his entire agenda on this and other topics to the radical left including his pick for vice president senator harris, who according to "newsweek" has a voting record that is more liberal than bernie sanders. she as well as many of his staff helped to get some of these criminals who were creating chaos in our cities out of jail. the more people look at the facts, the more they are going to see the president is right. this is in these democrat-led cities this is what happens if you put people like that in
6:24 am
power. years ago when joe biden was the vice president baltimore was one of those cities suffering that and the democrat mayor at the time basically said just let them do what they're going to do. it was a republican governor larry hogan who brought in the national guard and brought things to order. the same is happening with this president across the country. he is ready to calm things down. he needs local and state officials, all of whom are democrats, to make the call and he he will provide the assistance. >> lastly i was interested to read the "washington post" op-ed from jennifer rubin and she quotes. he cannot stir up white you supremacists and then he has abandoned americans outside his cult. he may regret that. interesting. we've heard the left call the president's supporters deplorables rubes and now cults.
6:25 am
>> the washington bubble. 68 square miles surrounded by reality. where we live in wisconsin people want law and order. they want harmony amongst the races. they want police officers to do what the overwhelming majority do every single day, follow the law and keep us safe. oftentimes risking their lives to do just that. this president is doing what he should be doing and the irony is one of the people complaining a democrat governor even the kenosha newspaper, a paper that historically goes with democrats. they said fan the flames of the riots before the rioters got there. it wasn't until after i said three nights of rioting and two deaths before joe biden even spoke out. donald trump didn't need a foix group to do what was right. he immediately offered help and thank god they took it in kenosha. it is a great city and will be even greater but it has to have law and order to do just that.
6:26 am
>> trace: former wisconsin governor scott walker. thank you for joining us, sir. >> thank you. >> sandra: joe biden back on the campaign trail not taking any questions from reporters at his first campaign event in weeks. is he avoiding the news media? we'll ask marc thiessen. riots becoming a regular sight in portland, oregon. will local leaders take back control of that city or is this the new normal? >> president trump: i think the people of portland and of oregon. i know it is considered a liberal state. they're tired of it. they're tired of living with this curse. or powders. try the cooling, soothing relief of preparation h. because your derriere deserves expert care. try new soothing relief.
6:31 am
>> sandra: the bottom of the hour. here are the top stories on tuesday morning. later this morning president trump set to depart with kenosha department meeting with law enforcement and surveying damage after the riot, state and city leaders have been urging the president to cancel his visit. >> trace: the u.s. has now surpassed 6 million coronavirus cases as the nation struggles with the pandemic's lasting fallout. >> sandra: protests erupting in los angeles. the l.a. county sheriff's department says the man punched a deputy in the face after deputies tried to question him. officers opened fire after the man dropped a bundle of books he was carrying with a gun wrapped inside.
6:32 am
>> trace: chaos overnight in portland, oregon. another riot after protestors demanded fires outside of the may or's home demanding his resignation. matt finn is live in portland. what are we learning about what happened last night? >> trace, last night was the 96th night of unrest here in portland. police say this time a crowd of 200 people marched to the mayor's condo tower here in portland and carried out another violent and dangerous riot. on the way there some of the rioters let commercial grade fireworks, broke windows and burglarized a business stealing furniture to feed flames. the rioters lit a fire at the base of the may or's building. police declared an unlawful assembly and warned over a loudspeaker to immediately leave the area. failure to do so may result in arrest and crowd control agents.
6:33 am
rioters did not leave. someone threw burning material through a broken business window and police are looking for that arson suspect this morning. 19 people were arrested. here in oregon the governor has authorized state police to return to portland to assist the police department. but the head of the police chiefs and sheriffs association wrote a letter back to the governor saying state police will not be sent to portland because criminal rioters are not being prosecuted or held accountable here and the acting secretary of homeland security chad wolfe wrote a letter to the mayor saying his inaction has fueled the violence. i urge you to prioritize public safety and to request federal assistance to restore law and order in portland. we are standing by to support portland. at the same time, president trump has made it abundantly clear that there will come a point when state and local officials fail to protect its citizens from violence the
6:34 am
federal government will have no choice but to protect our american citizens and this morning police are investigating the shooting death of a man here in the streets of portland saturday night, trace. >> trace: what else do we know about that victim? >> police have identified him at 39-year-old aaron danielson. the shooting was caught on video. so far police have not released the name of a suspect. danielson is believed to be associated with a conservative group patriot prayer that was part of a large pro-president trump group that caravaned through portland saturday. that group clashed with another one. danielson was shot dead in the streets and we'll keep you updated if they identify a shooter or make any arrests. >> sandra: joe biden blaming president trump for rising violence in major u.s. cities after his speech yesterday in pennsylvania. he declined questions, however,
6:35 am
from the press afterward. biden has faced reporters just five times since march 1. marc thiessen, a former speech writer and fox news contributor. let me repeat that, marc. we'll put the brain room data on the screen. these are the biden media events in which he took questions and answered questions from reporters. that's happened at least five times for joe biden since march 1. at least 150 times for president trump, marc. >> biden yesterday accused president trump of being incapable of controlling the violence. seems joe biden seems is he incapable of answering a question. a few days ago biden did an interview saying he could win the election from his basement. then a few days later he announced he will be going to battleground states and then all of a sudden he shows up in pennsylvania a week before labor day and condemns the
6:36 am
violence that he didn't even mention during his convention two weeks ago. usually when -- if you want to know who is worried about an election you look at who is changing strategy. joe biden is the one changing strategy and why coming out of the basement? the polls are tightening in battleground states and failure to condemn the violence has been hurting his campaign and helping donald trump. so they had to risk bringing him out. they weren't willing to risk letting him answer questions. >> sandra: as far as the substance of the speech yesterday, do you feel like he now is coming out and strongly condemning the violence? michael goodwin who has been critical of him not doing so writes up a solid piece this morning about fine messages that biden shared in that speech yesterday. >> no, first of all the democrats have spent months ignoring the violence because their left wing base wouldn't allow it. then all of a sudden they have turned around suddenly and started criticizing it.
6:37 am
why is that? the polls show that 77% of americans are either very or extremely concerned about the rise of crime and violence in our city streets. and majority, 51% say local democratic officials are not doing enough to prosecute the crimes. so this is an area -- they are only responding to this now because it is hurting them in the polls. americans see the chaos on the streets and think it is hurting them. this is not genuine. by the way, they own this violence, sandra. how did this violence start? it wasn't donald trump's policies. it was the democratic officials in minneapolis who approved the neon neck hold that killed george floyd. their policing policies were responsible for what set this off and then they said no, we can handle this on our own and you don't need to intervene. that means you own it. >> sandra: that's a debate we can take on for another day. when it comes back to the messaging, marc, and joe biden
6:38 am
taking questions on important subject matters like the one you just mentioned, this is now the trump campaign strategy. put this up on the screen. this is the director of rapid response for the trump camp jake schneider on biden not taking questions. since july 19th joe biden answered 139 questions from the press. president trump answered 838 questions. joe biden hasn't taken questions at a press conference since july 28. he went 32 days without taking a single questions and now the president himself in this new interview with laura ingraham is making the case that the tightening in the polls is what is forcing joe biden to now come out. listen. >> president trump: they have lost control of these people and it is hurting them. don't forget. biden wasn't going to come out of his basement until the election. now he had to because the polls are so good for me. now he had to because the polls are different. so all of a sudden he is in pittsburgh. he wasn't going to leave his basement.
6:39 am
>> sandra: final thoughts on that, marc. >> they would prefer -- if they could win this election from joe biden's basement they would. it is a risk for them. every time he comes out and speaks he usually makes a gaffe of some kind not reading off a teleprompter. there is a risk when he is in an unscripted moment and he speaks. you law nancy pelosi laying the ground work for biden to pull out of the debates. so far he said he will debate. i would say that's only 50/50. it puts them in a bind. if he debates there is a high risk he will do or say something that makes it clear he is incapable of being president. if he doesn't debate eval dates trump's claim he isn't up to the presidency. he is caught in a vice. >> sandra: despite nancy pelosi's suggestions not to debate he says he will debate. >> we'll see if it happens.
6:40 am
>> trace: treasury secretary steve mnuchin set to testify on capitol hill today as coronavirus relief talks are at a stand still. what he blames for the hold-up. after a democratic convention focused on character, joe biden comes out swinging in his first campaign speech attacking president trump. will the new tone appeal to voters? that's next. there was a time when this represented the future.

>> we're facing multiple crises. crises under donald trump have kept multiplying. covid, economic devastation, unwarranted police violence, emboldened white nationalists, a wreckoning on race. the common thread? the incumbent president who makes things worse, not better. >> trace: joe biden ripping president trump in his first post convention campaign speech as biden's lead in the polls begins to shrink.
6:45 am
let's bring in robert wolf. former economic advisor to president obama and ceo of 32 advisors. robert. good to see you. you heard joe biden's sound bite there and some of the conservative pundits are saying the reason joe biden's tone is becoming more brash is because he now realizes he is in a dog fight and he is kind of adopting president trump's gloves-off approach. what do you think? >> i would disagree with that. it depends on how you look at it. today's morning consult poll which i think has more people taking that poll. 10 times more than the emerson poll showed joe biden up 8 nationally. up 10 in arizona, up big in michigan and big in pennsylvania. we know that polls are all over the place and we know it will be a tight race. i think he gave that speech, trace, because we've listened as a democratic party and nation to the rnc and donald trump and the rest of the
6:46 am
republicans are pointing fingers at everyone else but the president of the united states who is responsible for the nation. unemployment is up, poverty sup, crime is up, covid is spreading. you can't blame that on joe biden. he isn't president. joe is making clear what he would do differently. >> trace: robert, you brought up the polls. i want to put them on the screen. the real clear politics average. july 1 joe biden was up by 9.4%, right? august 1 that slips to 7.4%. september 1st biden now up 6.2%. convention bounce, what do you make of biden's lead beginning to slip? >> trace, you know polls are all over the place. like i said, morning consult came out this morning. they were up 8 points nationally. >> trace: you are kind of saying i'm saying the average. what do you make of this dip? >> i make out it will be a tight race. i don't think the polls 6%, 8%,
6:47 am
10%. 60 days is a lifetime. i like where joe biden stands today. there is going to be a fork in the road and people will have a real choice. i think joe biden has stated his case. i know people loved his speech yesterday because he stated facts. it is a fact that crime is up 26% since donald trump has been the president. that's just a fact. it is a fact that unemployment was at 4.7% under president obama and now up to 10%. those are facts. we can't look back. we have to look where we're going forward and so i think joe biden stated a strong case. but i'm sure all the trump people believe donald trump states a great case. so there is going to be a real debate in the next 60 days. >> trace: and i'll get to your comment there about crime being up. i just want to put this on the screen. this is from 2016 for context. in 2016 september 1st same time hillary clinton was up by 4.9%
6:48 am
over president trump. just wanted to show that, robert. moving on the president responded to joe biden's speech. you said the public loved and he said this quoting here, just watch what biden had to say. to me he is blaming the police far more than he is blaming the rioters, anarchists, agitators and looters which he could never blame or he would lose the radical left bernie supporters. is it fair to point out that joe biden has yet to come out and condemn antifa despite the violence kind of escalating? i know you blame the president saying violence is up 27%. but the majority of these violent protestors are antifa members. >> a few things. one, joe has been very clear he is not for defunding police. he has been very clear since the george floyd situation that he is not for violence, he is not for riots or looting. i think more importantly i would ask president trump what do you think about a 17-year-old kid who crossed

state lines, which is illegal with an ar-15 who was under age and then actually killed someone? in my opinion i don't understand how the president did not denounce that. those were many different illegal things away from the idea okay, we shouldn't even have ar-15s in public hands. >> trace: we have brought that up a couple of times, robert. we have brought it up. >> i know you have. thank you. >> several interviews. the question of biden not condemning antifa. >> i think he should condemn all looting and rioting. president trump last night talked about dark shadows in the streets. i don't know what he is referencing. i think laura ingraham should have asked him what do you even mean by that? >> trace: thank you, sir. >> thanks for having me on. >> sandra: the aftermath of a terrifying car crash caught on video. >> i got her, i got her. >> sandra: three children

7:03 am
the case out and eventually present them. >> demonstrators want answers as to what exactly caused deputies to fire their weapons. did the man reach for a gun? was it in his hands? did they try to stop the man using non-lethal force? a lot of unanswered questions. the family of the man killed plans to speak outside the local sheriff's station later this morning at 10:00 local time. we should also mention in addition to the l.a. sheriff's review of what happened there will be a report filed by the l.a. d.a.'s office and the l.a. county inspector general. >> sandra: thank you. >> trace: another big story we're following. president trump to visit kenosha, wisconsin later today meeting with law enforcement and survey damage from protests over the shooting of jacob blake. a 17-year-old from illinois accused of killing two people with a semi automatic rifle during that unrest. the white house says the president can help the city heal but kenosha's mayor, like
7:04 am
wisconsin's governor is asking him to stay away. >> we always have room for presidents to come to visit. candidates to come to visit. that's the process that you have and it is something that we appreciate and have people do. but the timing on this we felt was not good. >> mark meredith is live on the ground in kenosha. mark. >> good morning to you. the president says he will be coming to kenosha so he can meet with the residents dealing with the civil unrest the last several days. he will only be on the ground for about three hours. we know on the schedule is a stop at an emergency operations center. also a chance to hold a round table on community safety. one thing not on the president's schedule is a meeting with jacob blake's family. blake was the man who was shot several times by police. his family says he is now paralyzed and an investigation is underway to find out exactly what led up to that shooting. the president says he wanted to come here to wisconsin to get a better idea of what things are happening as things have calmed
7:05 am
down the last several days. >> president trump: i am a tremendous fan of law enforcement and i want to thank law enforcement. they've done a good job. when the governor says i shouldn't come or he prefer i not come. i'm the one that called him and said tony, you have to bring out the national guard. >> wisconsin governor democrat tony evers sent a letter sunday essentially telling the president not to visit kenosha and in the letter he said the presidential visit would tie up much-needed resources and said i am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. i'm concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together. while we've been here we've seen an increase in law enforcement on the ground in kenosha. national guard is here. this morning a lot of residents are coming out getting coffee and going for runs. at night there is still a curfew. we saw it last night as we were out to dinner. an alert on our phone that indicated they wanted people to go back home and told the gas stations in the area to shut

7:09 am
importance of a coronavirus relief package. >> we're going to succeed in negotiations, we have to look to the science. we have a real problem here because they will not -- they do not understand the gravity of the problem. they refuse to accept the science and what science is advising. >> there is some talk in the senate trying to hold a vote next week on a narrow targeted coronavirus bill. some republicans oppose doing anything at all. that's why administration officials have held a conference call nearly every day with senate republicans trying to drum up support for a gop plan. if they get something through the senate they have to be talking to democrats. they need democratic support otherwise the math doesn't work. here is the other problem. they have to fund the government by the end of september. it is possible that they could try to lop a coronavirus bill together with a bill to fund the government, a band-aid bill as one aide said this morning. the calendar will be set by the

agenda. >> sandra: good preview of what's to come. thank you for that. >> trace: d.c.'s mayor calling out the u.s. attorney's office for violent protests in the district. >> i mention one very specific thing that our federal partners can help us with and that is prosecuting people that have been arrested for this violent activity. >> trace: now the feds are pushing right back. what is behind this dispute? plus joe biden unleashing on president trump saying he is trying to scare america with his law and order message. trump campaign communications director joins us next but first here is the president. >> president trump: we will never surrender to mob rule because if the mob rules, democracy is indeed dead. helping thousands of veterans save thousands of dollars by refinancing at today's record low mortgage rates. with newday's va streamline refi,

7:15 am
lawmakers say the documents they want also relate to changes at the post office that may have caused those delays. >> president trump: we must strictly and fully enforce our law and have no tolerance for anarchy and no tolerance, zero, for violence. anyone who breaks the law should be arrested, prosecuted and punished. >> sandra: president trump pushing his message of law and order in a white house briefing yesterday. he is expected to double down on that message today when he visits kenosha, wisconsin. democrats are warning the trip will only make a bad situation worse. erin perrine the trump 2020 communications director. thank you for being here. you have heard from the wisconsin governor tony evers saying this will only hinder our healing, please don't come. the kenosha mayor says the timing is wrong. please don't come. why does the president believe it's important to still make this visit there today? >> president trump is going to thank the law enforcement who have stood up in the face of
7:16 am
anarchy. and to support the american businesses going through a tough time right now in kenosha. kenosha is a great city. i have a number of my family members who live there. they're really struggling right now. what you haven't heard reported in the news are seven members of the county executive board standing up and saying yes, president trump, please come to kenosha, we appreciate your leadership and we want you here. the media is only talking about the democrat naysayers and not those who support the president and this trip to kenosha. >> sandra: i can tell you that the seven kenosha county board members are saying we're hurting and looking for leadership. the kenosha county sheriff david best, the president will be quite safe here, please come. that's our goal. also the kenosha county executive, there are a number of officials on the ground who are encouraging the president to visit. the governor and mayor are not. this is in the wake of joe biden now taking his message on the campaign trail to condemning the violence on the
7:17 am
city streets but pointing fingers at donald trump for it. here is joe biden on him stoking violence. listen. >> the incumbent president is incapable of telling us the truth and facing the facts and incapable of healing. he doesn't want to shed light, he wants to generate heat. and he is stoking violence in our cities. >> sandra: is there concern from the trump campaign that joe biden and his campaign are sort of flipping the script on the president's law and order message and saying this violence and unrest in our city streets is happening under his watch? >> well, i would push back on a couple of notions there. one it didn't take poll testing or groups to tell the president what he needed to do, which was stand for law and order. it took joe biden almost four months to come out of his basement to rebuke the violence we have seen in these streets. what you didn't hear from joe biden was a rebuke of antifa, a
7:18 am
rebuke of the violence we have seen, or a rebuke of his own staff who paid bail for the rioters in minneapolis. president trump has always stood for healing, not hatred. his words back on may 30th. justice, not chaos. just because joe biden lies to the american public and the media eats it up doesn't make it correct. >> sandra: america still dealing with an pandemic and looking at unrest in many of our cities. here is joe biden painting a picture of this is trump's america, listen. >> i find it fascinating quote, you won't be safe in joe biden's america. and what's their proof? the violence we're seeing in donald trump's america. these are not images of some imagined joe biden america of the future. these are images of donald trump's america today. >> sandra: erin, what is the
7:19 am
campaign messaging and counter to that as biden went on to say that fires are burning and this is a president who fans the flames rather than fights them. >> joe biden has amnesia with riots under his watch in ferguson and baltimore. that's joe. the president every single day you have seen unrest in this country has stood for law and order and has offered federal assistance to every state and every city in need. democrats have celebrated, cheered and applauded saying no and allowing their cities to burn. as soon as cities have stepped up and said yes, we need the help, the president has surged resources in a way to restore law and order to allow law enforcement to do their jobs and it has restored peace. joe biden behind the curve forgetting what has been happening. >> sandra: as you know, there have been some who have taken to the unrest in these cities
7:20 am
and taken it upon themselves to fight back. looking at what happened with kyle rittenhouse, here is the president. he was asked to condemn his actions and here is how he responded in the briefing room. >> president trump: that was an interesting situation. you saw the same tape as i saw. and he was trying to get away from them, i guess, it looks like and he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it was something that we are looking at right now and under investigation. but i guess he was in very big trouble. he probably would have been killed. it is under investigation. >> sandra: it is under investigation which led many to question why the president would come to that conclusion or lead others to come to the conclusion or support the claim from rittenhouse's legal team that he was acting in self-defense. >> the president was talking about what he saw on that video and he did point to the fact there is an ongoing
7:21 am
investigation. the president has also unequivocally said he does not want anyone to confront protestors. that he wants law enforcement to be able to do their jobs. as democrats have stoked the flames of fear in this country including nancy pelosi calling republicans the enemies of the state, maxine waters always encouraging people to get in the face of trump supporters, even you saw kamala harris, president trump wants law enforcement to have the resources to restore law and order in this country. democrats stand firmly. >> sandra: by that defense aren't you suggesting the president was encouraging trump supporters to go act on their own in these streets? >> absolutely not. and the president has been unequivocally clear he does not want anyone to confront protestors. you can't mince the president's words here. he said it very clearly himself
7:22 am
no. >> sandra: i will tell you clearly what he said in the interview with laura ingraham. we played it for viewers earlier. he was asked do you want your supporters to confront the left wing protestors he said i don't want them to. i want them to leave it to law enforcement. we appreciate you coming on this morning, thank you. >> thank you. >> trace: we are waiting for president trump's departure from the white house as he heads to wisconsin. he could speak to reporters on his way out. we'll bring you those comments if that happens. plus a fierce democratic primary fight today in massachusetts. a long-time senator trying to fend off a challenger from someone with serious name recognition. >> we have politicians in washington that think these problems will be solved in some back room someplace, not in our communities here at home. that's why i'm running.

weekend he is a nervous wreck quoting i think fall will be a bit of a mess. in labor day begins with a 50-person backyard barbecue that turns into a 30-person indoor drinks after the sun goes down. it will be a huge problem. do you agree? >> yes, i do. unfortunately we would all like to get together with people, but do it outdoors and do it with a mask on. when you are indoors with a lot of people from different places, that is the absolute formula for an explosion. an explosion of covid not just to the people there, but to their families, their friends, the people they shop from and that's the reality. we're all connected here in the fight against this virus and the more we work together, the more we can control it and get our jobs, our education, and our lives back. >> trace: which leads me to your op-ed about the masks.
7:43 am
dr. frieden, you say we could have saved lives if we had just worn mask. highlights of the op-ed that are significant that people need to know about. >> first off, let's be clear about what happened. this was a surprise. most infectious diseases are more contagious the sicker you get. i'm a tuberculosis specialist. sars, the closest cousin of covid acts the same way. the sicker you are, the more infectious you are. it was startling in february and march when the studies started coming out showing that you are most infectious early on even before you got symptoms in the first two or three days after you feel sick and some people will never have symptoms and yet they have got huge quantities of the virus in their mouth and in their nose and if they talk or sing or shout or cough or sneeze, they can infect a lot of people around them. that's why masks are so very
7:44 am
important. we had shortages of medical masks, still have shortages of medical masks. but whether a surgical mask or a three-part round cloth mask that you wear over your nose and under our chin it is something that protects all of us. there are very few things that cost so little money and can save so many lives and jobs. it's unfortunate mask wearing has been politicized. the last thing i'll say if you don't want to wear a mask, don't wear a mask, just don't go near other people particularly indoors. >> trace: you don't think if you're outside walking alone you don't need a mask. people feel like they are making me wear a mask. i'm walking my dog alone and want me to wear a mask. dount need one?
7:45 am
>> a question of priorities. inside within six feet of other people absolutely need to wear a mask. outside if you are passing people and you are crowded it would be better to wear a mask. outside alone not near others no reason to wear a mask but we need to get used to wearing them. whether it means we wear them not near others or only when we're near others, that is something for each place to decide. >> trace: we hear the increase in children is concerning here. we get a lot of information, dr. frieden, some of it scares people. you have some of these major publications saying the increases in the 100s of percent. any child it is devastating but you see there covid-19 deaths in children 0 to .3 percent. more children are getting sick and dying but still very rare
7:46 am
for a child to die of this. is that a fair assessment? >> absolutely. there is a strong correlation between age and how severe this is. the older you are, the worse it is and the more likely you are to get very sick or die. what's really clear is kids can spread it to others. so what starts in young people doesn't stay in young people necessarily. they may be someone less likely to spread it. the scientific evidence isn't clear but they can definitely spread it and it's so important that all of us protect all of us so we can all be safer. >> trace: we are noticing the increase in colleges across the country. always good information, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> sandra: new york city mayor bill deblasio wants to raise taxes as many of the city's rich flee. how would that work? money man charles payne will be here to react next. >> tech: when you've got auto glass damage...

>> i got her, i got her. >> an ohio police officer acting quickly to save a 4-year-old girl trapped in a car wreck. the mother was driving with three kids inside trying to pass another driver, overcorrected, left the road and flipped the car. the officer reached in to cut loose the girls child safety seat when he saw her legs were losing color. the mom and two other kids were able to get out with the help of some good samaritans. >> tax the wealthy at a higher level. i feel this is a lot of cocktail party comfort going on rather than people honestly dealing with this issue. help me tax the wealthy, help me redistribute wealth. >> sandra: new york city mayor
7:52 am
bill deblasio calling for a tax on the rich as many are already fleeing the city. charles payne. tax them more. is that the solution? >> it's not the solution and in this particular case he was actually answering a question about new york city, the racial composition saying that the one way do desegregate new york city would be to tax the wealthy so that black people could afford to live in new york city. here is the problem, sandra. bill deblasio is from the school that doesn't believe if you afford people the right back drop regulatory, educational, they can raise themselves. instead it's the same old story line. the heroic bill deblasio will come to the aid of black people from taking from rich white folks. you know what? give black students better curriculum. educational curriculum. make starting a business a lot
7:53 am
easier. to start a business in new york city you need to get -- i'm talking mall business. family leave. paid time off. predictable scheduling. minimum work hours. lactation room, congestion pricing if you want to take your business or truck downtown. the list goes on and on. there is a 20-year wait in new york city for a hot dog stand. if you really want to help the black people in new york city don't take from the rich anymore money and give it to these poor black folks. make sure children graduate with the reading level their right counterparts have and they can go to the right school. or make it so the father who wants to start his own business or mother who wants to start her own business can start their own business. otherwise everyone will keep fleeing new york city. there is a congestion on the way out of george washington bridge. you better get in line. it will only get worse. >> sandra: we have seen the images of moving trucks lining up people leaving the city.
7:54 am
charles, to your point. i know you love this city and see what's happening. it is not just republicans that are now taking issue with bill deblasio's leadership. a democrat is quoted in the "new york post," councilman from queens said the mayor should first cut the fat from the city's budget instead of squeezing more funds out of residents of this city. they'll just leave. >> these cities, these cities want to be urban utopias for the cocktail drinking elites and we have all these bicycle lanes and all these regulations and i mean it is just -- listen, bill deblasio built the city where only the wealthy could enjoy it and a certain lifestyle and of course it's too much fat in the proposal. he has promised everything to everyone. people do want to earn. people don't want to have a right. right now you have
7:55 am
gentrification. my neighborhood does not look the same at all. opportunity is where you help people. taking from someone to give to someone else just tells me that you don't believe those recipients can get it on their own. shame on bill deblasio. he is terrible. he is the worst. we need to see major changes in all of these cities. i hope that this is what the movement in this country is all about. when we start talking about justice or racial justice it includes the opportunity. i don't need you to give me or take anything from anyone else to give it to me but i want an equal opportunity and fair shake. that includes education, that includes a chance to start a business, not, you know, so many regulatory hurdles that i'm always just a worker. >> sandra: tell us about your town hall coming up america invests together quickly. >> can't wait for it. listen. talking about taking control of your own life, sandra. have you ever used zoom?
7:56 am
that's up 400% this year. wall street hated it. how many watching this own zoom in their portfolio. how you can take control of your own financial life and change it on your own. >> sandra: you always tell us exactly how you feel. we love it. we'll be watching. tharls, thank you. >> thank you. >> trace: fox news alert from the white house. president trump is just leaving the white house for his trip to kenosha, wisconsin meeting with law enforcement and inspect the damage from protests. how will the surge in violence impact the 2020 race? senator tom cotton joins us next. life doesn't stop for a cold. [man] honey... [woman] honey that's why there's new dayquil severe honey. it's maximum strength cold and flu medicine with soothing honey-licious taste.
7:57 am
dayquil honey. the daytime coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever, power through your day medicine. toi'm releasing a plan to save lives in the months ahead.irus. we need to increase federal support for testing, doubling the number of drive-thru testing sites. we absolutely need a clear message from the very top of our federal government that everyone needs to wear a mask in public. every single frontline worker should have the personal protective equipment that they need to be safe. we need to support schools and childcare programs so parents, if and when they can return to work, are confident that their children will be safe and cared for. and finally, we need to protect the populations most at risk: our seniors, vulnerable populations with pre-existing conditions. we need real plans, real guidelines, with uniform nationwide standards. it's a simple proposition folks, we're all in this together. we gotta fight this together.
7:58 am
8:00 am
>> sandra: fox news alert. a live look at joint base andrews where the president is set to depart moments from now as he heads for kenosha, wisconsin. despite pleas from democratic leaders on the ground that are wishing him to reconsider his trip to a city rocked by protests after the police shooting of jacob blake. welcome back to "america's newsroom," i'm sandra smith. >> trace: i'm trace gallagher. the president set to tour the damage from the protests before meeting with law enforcement later today even after the mayor of that city and the state's governor asked the president to stay away citing fears his visit may inflame tensions. former wisconsin governor scott walker does not see it that way. >> the president is right not only to come in and thank law enforcement and the national guard but to talk to the people
8:01 am
who actually live in that community, to talk to the people who have small businesses, many of which are boarded up or in some cases burnt to the ground and talk about how to rebuild this great city and make it wonderful for everyone. the president is the only one really up front talking about that. and i think he absolutely should be there and i'm glad that he is. >> trace: garrett tenney is live in kenosha. garrett. >> we've heard from a number of folks here who feel like president trump has provided the kind of strong leadership that was lacking from state officials following last week's riots and those supporters of him want to thank him for that support and those efforts today. you can see a handful of supporters started gathering outside the kenosha county courthouse where protests are scheduled to start the next hour. we've also heard from a lot of folks even some who support the president that say they are concerned that his visit could throw gas on the fire that has been simmering in a situation
8:02 am
improving over the past week. yesterday the president said that improvement, though, is in part why it's important for him to come. >> president trump: i am a tremendous fan of law enforcement and i want to thank law enforcement. they've done a good job. when the governor says i shouldn't come or prefer i not come i'm the one that called him and said tony, you have to bring out the national guard. well, i don't really want to do it. >> notably absent from the president's itinerary is a meeting with the family of jacob blake. the white house says it was reaching out to the family to try to arrange a phone call with blake's mother but yesterday the family's attorneys were insisting on being on that phone call which he thought was inappropriate. for now it won't be happening. the family's attorney released a statement saying if the call had occurred ms. jackson was prepared to ask president trump to watch the video of mr. blake's shooting and do what she asked all of america to do. examine your heart.
8:03 am
as i mentioned earlier several counter protests to the president's visit are scheduled to get underway this next hour after his arrival. >> trace: garrett, thank you. president trump is set to land in a couple of hours. keep it here for live coverage of his entire visit. >> black lives matter. >> trace: hundreds of protestors flooding 2 streets of portland overnight police declaring a riot after demonstrators set fire outside the mayor's home demanding he and the police chief step down. matt finn live in portland. the department of homeland security says because the portland mayor's lack of action law abiding citizens continue to suffer. >> trace, the acting secretary of the department of homeland security has written a very strongly worded if not scathing letter to the mayor of portland here urging the mayor to
8:04 am
request federal assistance or the president could take action to end the often violent riots here nearing the 100 day mark. he writes the mayor in part your inaction has fostered an environment that fueled senless violence and destruction night after night. for more than three months portland is the epicenter of crime and chaos with rioters attacking government buildings with the intention of burning them to the ground. last night marked the 96th night of unrest in portland. this time a crowd marched to the mayor's condo tower on his birthday and lit a fire in an occupied apartment building. they burglarized a business stealing furniture to feed flames. police declared an unlawful assembly. rioters did not leave. police say someone threw
8:05 am
burning material through a broken window. they're looking for the arson suspect. 19 people were arrested. the governor has authorized state police to return to portland to assist the police department. the head of the police chiefs and sheriffs association says backup will not be sent to portland because criminal rioters aren't being prosecuted or held accountable here. and this morning portland police have identified the man who was shot in the chest and killed in the streets of portland saturday night. 39-year-old aaron danielson was reportedly associated with patriot prayer and participated in a pro-president trump caravan before being killed saturday. so far police have not identified a suspect. trace. >> trace: matt finn live in portland. matt, thank you. >> sandra: a lot of finger pointing going the campaign trail with joe biden blaming the president for all the unrest saying he has lost control of the country and let the crises multiply. listen. >> this president long ago
8:06 am
forfeited any moral leadership in this country. he can't stop the violence because for years he has form*ented it. crises under donald trump are multiplying. the common thread the incumbent president who makes things worse, not better. who sews chaos rather than providing order. >> sandra: the president reminding voters the violence is happening in blue states. biden tries to blame trump for democrat-run cities' unrest. michael goodwin the "new york post" columnist and fox news contributor joins us now. your piece this morning was interesting because you acknowledged some very strong points of joe biden's speech in your write-up. but you went on to say finally he condemns the riots only to blame them on trump. so was it effective?
8:07 am
>> i thought it was the first part was effective, sandra. i thought the condemnation was long overdue but it was strong. he didn't name the groups. he didn't say antifa, etc. nonetheless it went much further than he has gone before. i thought he was actually -- had some tough lines about president trump that would resonate with the president's opponents. but then when he begins to blame the riots, the looting, the arson, on the president. that just flies in the face of logic and the facts. we know, as you said, that all of these are occurring in cities with democratic mayors. the democratic mayors have failed to let the police do their jobs, to restore order. they have rejected offers from president trump to send in the federal national guard. they have basically not prosecuted those. for the idea that somehow this
8:08 am
is president trump's fault, i think that was the weakest part of the argument. in fact, i think it was a silly part of the argument from joe biden. >> sandra: a chunk of your piece. biden is beyond the pale claims that the surge in violent crime are part of a pattern. he added the coronavirus and racial justice as proof that america is out of control and jump is the common denominator. the most obvious contradiction is virtually all these cities ungefld in turmoil are in blue states and run by democratic mayors. perhaps that's why scott walker, the former governor of wisconsin, pointed this out in an interview this morning. listen. >> sadly i think what you see in the last few days are democrat governor, democrat mayor and democrat attorney general and democrat nominee for president joe biden finally realizing the polls in wisconsin and across the country are showing do people want reform, yes, but they also want a stop to the senseless
8:09 am
violence and that what the president is offering. >> sandra: for a while it's lack of condemnation on the part of democrats and joe biden on the violence in our streets. now you are seeing that message come out big time. is that the change? >> i think it's a very big change. i think scott walker is right that the polls are what forced biden out of the basement in the first place to go to pennsylvania yesterday, to make that speech. and it is also forcing him to condemn the riots. i think the president and the republicans in general especially at the convention were being very effective in linking biden to the riots by virtue of this being blue states where it is happening. biden's response, i thought, was partly good and partly insane for saying that the president is responsible for this. i mean, it's hard to believe that any independent swing state voter, which is the target for both parties right now, that any such person would
8:10 am
say yes, that makes sense. the president is to blame. you have to then say well, i guess the president made antifa crazy because that's the only way to explain his responsibility. they are the ones doing it. as we saw in portland we've been doing it for more than three months. the president has been trying to help. >> sandra: now this is a big part of the biden campaign message. this is a new dnc ad that hits president trump on this issue saying he only divides, inflames, infuriates and tears people apart always making things worse is the message. final thoughts this morning? two months out from election day now, michael. >> i think that now that the conventions are both over, labor day is traditionally the start of the real campaign. i think this campaign has been going on for about four years actually. but the fact that joe biden came out of the basement, that he made this statement, that he will be making other trips, i
8:11 am
think it shows he now recognizes the race is tightening and he has to have an answer for the president's attacks. >> sandra: great to have you this morning. thank you. >> thank you. >> trace: kentucky senator rand paul asking for justice for this. calling for an investigation into people he believes are funding violent protests. the justice department responds next. and joe biden back home in delaware after a campaign event yesterday but critics ripping the presidential nominee for not continuing on the campaign trail. >> even the statement he put out the other day well, you know, we should do something. i'll come out of the basement in 10 days. is he going to run the country from the basement if he wins? rates just dropped even lower. veterans who refi now can save three thousand dollars a year. with newday's va streamline refi,

>> trace: the feds want to know who is behind the violent protests across the country and who is paying the bills. that's from chad wolfe. doj investigation starting days after a group of demonstrators surrounded senator rand paul of kentucky and his wife as the two were leaving the white house after the gop convention. senator paul said some protestors were saying --
8:16 am
staying at the same hotel he was in and demanding to know who paid for the trip to d.c. congressman ken buck of colorado calling for a hearing to track that money trail saying he suspects one group is behind all of the protests but he won't yet name names. >> sandra: joe biden blasting president trump during his first post convention speech but the democratic presidential nominee did not take questions from reporters following that speech yesterday and he will not be in the public eye today. peter doocy is live in biden's hometown of wilmington, delaware. why no public appearances from joe biden today? >> joe biden has been home here in wilmington since 6:00 last night. no events on the schedule today. the press pool assigned to cover him this week staking out his house this week has informed us not to expect any biden movement today. his wife dr. jill biden is out and about in the wilmington area, though. she is at a back to school
8:17 am
hearing about hybrid classrooms, socially distanced desks and virtual learning rooms. the only hint we have upcoming joe biden events came when he was delivering pizzas to pittsburgh emt's yesterday and answered a question whether he plans to travel to wisconsin. he said he is checking it out now and hopes to be able to do that. until then he seems confident that voters already know enough about him. >> you know me. you know my heart. you know my story, my family's story. ask yourself do i look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters? really? >> we do know that biden campaign plans to do more out of town trips in the general election sprint. they've outlined plans for regular covid testing of biden and kamala harris. in addition to pennsylvania yesterday he has his eyes on visits to arizona, minnesota and wisconsin. now the former vp pledging to
8:18 am
do something else differently than trump. >> i am not a tweeter. i will speak to the american people directly. i am not engaged in trying to foment hatred and division. it's about uniting the country. >> he is not a tweeter but today a zoomer. one event on his schedule, a virtual fundraiser. >> sandra: we'll be watching for that. peter doocy, thank you. >> trace: as peter was saying joe biden taking flak for leaving after his first campaign speech without taking questions from the press. >> may god bless you and may god protect our troops. >> trace: they are yelling the question but no answer. let's bring in former senior communications and policy aid for senator john kerry. joe biden went after president
8:19 am
trump pretty tough last night in pittsburgh. after he walked off with no questions. kind of becoming a pattern and it's concerning to even some people in the democratic party. let me put up the numbers and take a look at them. the total days taking questions. president trump at least 109 days of taking questions, biden 5 days. press conferences, trump 150 times. joe biden 5 times. why won't he answer questions, roger? >> first off, trace. thanks so much for having me. great to be here. there is a number of answers to your question. first off, the current occupant is the president of the united states. he owes it to people to interact with the press and answer questions. the former vice president is the former vice president. so he doesn't -- he is not the head of state. he is not in a position where he has to explain policies or respond to disasters or
8:20 am
anything else. >> trace: he is promoting himself. at least explain to the press why he is promoting these policies and they have a lot of questions and he has been in the basements for a long time. why not at least answer some of these questions? >> well, i think when you go out there and lay out a speech and you lay out policy agendas that you are putting information out there. it is no mystery that campaigns are strategic about when and how they interact with the press and one of the biggest things we've seen right now the president's numbers go up when he is not in the press. he could do well by speaking to the press a little bit less. i also think because of the president's lack of a -- the president is digging his own hole. the more that the president dominates the media cycle, the more edition himself a deeper and deeper hole. in one sense i think the first thing on the biden strategy is
8:21 am
to just not get in his way and let him keep digging. >> trace: that was part of the stage -- strategy at first. i want to point on the left side of the screen the president arriving at joint base andrews for his trip to kenosha, wisconsin. when the president gets out if he addresses the media we'll bring you that. let's bring back in roger now. the quote is there was concern. now that he is back he said he would leave the basement. he left the basement and now back in the basement. here is president trump speaking about that. watch. >> president trump: don't forget, biden wasn't going to come out of his basement until the election. nouf he had to because the polls are so good for me. but i'm all over the place. i leave early in the morning, get home late at night and that's what you have to do as president. joe doesn't have energy. >> trace: he doesn't have energy. we heard from peter doocy the
8:22 am
reporter on the ground has no events scheduled today. we don't know about the rest of the week. he does need to get out and about, does he not, roger? >> i think you will see that ramping up as we go forward. and let me get back to one of your questions earlier. the former vice president does have to go out and present the full comprehensive policy agenda for a biden administration. i didn't want to imply that simply letting the president continue down his incoherent path will win it for biden. no question about that. at the same time i'm not going to use the president's schedule, which normally doesn't even start before 12:00 every day, there is at least one day a week when he has no public events at all and sometimes he has one event which is lunch with vice president pence. this president is not going to go down as having a vigorous work ethic and he doesn't get to the oval office until lunch time every day. >> trace: he travels a lot. he goes before the media almost every time he leaves the white house. stays after the coronavirus
quote
8:23 am
press conferences and stuff and answers questions, sometimes for a very long time. the democrats pointing this out. this is andy levin from michigan, a democratic congressman writes the following. we really just need to hammer on the economics and the complete failure to manage covid speaking about the president. but we do need him here speaking about the former vice president, we need him to tell that story and i'm confident that will happen. a lot of people said let's hold on. listen to the president. >> president trump: kevin warren and i think it was very productive about getting big ten playing again and immediately and let's see what happens. he is a great guy. it's a great conference, tremendous teams. we are pushing very hard. i think the biggest headwind we have is you have democrats that don't want to see it happen. but i think they want to play. the fans want to see it. and the players have a lot at stake including possibly
8:24 am
playing in the nfl. you have a lot of great players in that conference. we had a very good conversation, very productive and maybe we'll be very nicely surprised. they had it closed up and i think they would like to see it open along with a lot of other football that's being played right now and thank you to kevin. >> [inaudible question] >> are you meeting with the family of jacob blake? >> i don't know yet. we'll see. i don't know yet. >> can you tell us more about the plot of people gathering on a plane? >> president trump: i could tell you that i can probably refer you to the person and they could do it. i would like to ask that person if it was okay. the person on the plane said there were about six people like that person or more less and what happened is the entire plane filled up with the
8:25 am
looters, the anarchists, rioters people looking for trouble. the person felt very uncomfortable on the plane. it is a person you know. ill oh -- i'll see whether or not i can get that person to speak to you. this was a firsthand account of a plane going from washington to wherever and i'll see if i can get that information for you. maybe they will speak to you, maybe they won't. >> how do you respond to -- [inaudible question] >> president trump: i think a lot of people are looking at what is happening to the democrat-run cities. they can't believe this is taking place in our country. i can't believe it, either. one of the reasons i'm making the trip today and going to wisconsin is we've had such a big success in shutting down what would be right now a city that would have been kenosha, a city that would have been
8:26 am
burned to the ground by now. and we are going to really say hello to law enforcement and the national guard and it all stopped immediately upon the national guard's arrival. so easy to stop. i saw last night where these radical anarchists were trying to get into the mayor's house and lots of bad things were happening to this poor, stupid, foolish mayor. how he can be mayor i have no idea. all he has to do is call and within 10 minutes their problem will be over. as you know, they have to call and request help. all he has to do is call and the problem will end. they had tremendous numbers of people really harassing him horribly. i guess trying to break into his house. he still sticks up with them because he is a fool. only a fool would stick up for them like that. these are anarchists, these are
8:27 am
agitators. they are rioters, they are looters, they are bad people. they are burning down portland and you take a look at that and you take a look at the scenes last night and then the fake news media will say they're friendly protestors. you people, i tell you, if we only had an honest press in this country it would be much more advanced but we have a very dishonest press. >> you've spoken a lot about the anarchy you're referring to. what about racial division. would you like to bridge some of those gaps? and >> president trump: i think it's helping. i'm about law and order. if you look at the black community, they want the police to help them stop crime. the hispanic community, they want police. 82%, 84%, numbers you haven't even seen. they don't want crime. they don't want to be mugged. they don't want to have any problems.
8:28 am
and it's just a shame. as far as the previous administration, take a look at baltimore what happened. was it pretty? take a look at baltimore. take a look at st. louis and ferguson, take a look at what happened. what they had was -- put what we're doing would put them to shame. take a look at those places. you always had portland. portland has been like this for 50 years this has been going on. i would like to stop it. we could stop it quickly. all they have to do is say okay, president, now we're ready. now we're ready. when i watched that scene last night with all of those really horrible people outside of the mayor's house i also saw the way they shot the young gentleman in the street. he was targeted. they targeted him. they shot him in the street and they were so happy he died. you don't mention that. you mention somebody sprayed
8:29 am
paint at somebody from the other side. they shot a man in the street. they executed a man in the street. a religious man. in the street and you don't mention it. it is not even a story. you talk about other things. the press should be ashamed of themselves. i think the press is -- the media is what's fueling this. more so than even biden. biden doesn't know he is alive. the press is really fueling this and they are fueling it horribly. you are doing a great disservice to your country. any other questions? >> [inaudible question]. >> president trump: i may. i will also speak with the pastor who was talking to as per your question previously, very well involved and respected man. i look forward to that. i spoke to him yesterday, by the way. pastor of the family, as you know. and i spoke to him yesterday. had a great conversation. i think he will be there. but i'm speaking really today i'm there for law enforcement
8:30 am
and for the national guard because they've done a great job in kenosha, they put out the flames immediately. as soon as they came in, boom, the flame was gone. now maybe it will start up again, in which case they'll put it out very powerfully. >> [inaudible question] >> president trump: i told them they have until september 15th to make a deal. after that we close it up in this country. and i said that the united states has to be compensated, well compensated. we are making it possible. the treasury has to be well compensated. >> do you have an update on airlines, what your administration wants to do to help airlines? >> president trump: you have to help the airlines. tough business, always been. airlines are a tough business if good times. we're about ready to get back to good times. you look at the numbers this morning. some of the numbers coming out
8:31 am
are incredible. we have now the all-time highest stock market. if you take the average. we're at a number that nobody would even believe. we're doing well. we have tremendous -- i tell you, we have tremendous what would you say is the best word, enthusiasm of the country, the enthusiasm for comeback, the v. you look at the v. now i think it's a super v. morgan stanley, one of the most respected on wall street, would you say. they made a big prediction. you know what that was, right? president trump will remain president. we'll have to see. we'll have to see. i cannot imagine anything else because if somebody else got in namely my opponent, stock market instead of being records right now. they will crash. your 401ks will be down to nothing. your stocks will be down to nothing. and we will have a depression like you have never seen before.
8:32 am
we'll have an incredible economy. next year will be one of the best years that we've ever had and everybody is getting a big tax cut. thank you very much. >> [inaudible question] >> president trump: we're working with the drug companies on substantially lowering drug prices. i've put out a favored nations clause and signed it. that means we get the lowest prices anywhere in the world. we match whoever gets the lowest and the drug companies having a real problem with that. they're coming in to see me and we expect to get a very substantial price reduction and prescription drugs which has never been done before. they are coming, yeah. they're coming. this week. >> trace: there you have the president on his way to kenosha, wisconsin, against the advice of the governor and mayor there. he is going because he is in favor of law enforcement. he said he may be meeting with the family of jacob blake, the man shot and wounded by police in kenosha, but so far he is
8:33 am
not sure. he went on to say that kind of criticized the media saying the media he believes is actually fomenting the violence around the country worse than joe biden. he is the one who prompted the governor of wisconsin, tony evers, to bring in the national guard. the president said he brought the national guards in. that's not the way it works. the governors have the power to bring in the national guard. he said last night on laura ingraham clarifying he called the governor of wisconsin and said you need to bring them in and they will end the violence. off he goes to kenosha, wisconsin what is becoming a controversial trip to a battleground state. >> sandra: yet to be determined he will be meeting with the family of jacob blake on the ground there. touting his message of law and order. people are disgusted by what is going on now. he will make his way to
8:34 am
kenosha, wisconsin. senator cotton is joining us now. thank you for holding on with us. what did you think of what you just heard from the president? how far do you want him to go in stepping in to stem the violence in these cities? >> the president like i and most americans support law enforcement in trying to defend innocent lives and property from these rampaging mobs in the street. we cannot tolerate violence, roy oting, violence and looting. the president is going to kenosha to thank law enforcement and comfort small businessmen and women who have had their life's work go up in flames over the last week. the president is right. the democratic governor of wisconsin acted too slowly. he should have called out the national guard and helped the police department from the very beginning last sunday. he only did so after three days that resulted in so much damage
8:35 am
and even more lives lost. so i join the president in commending our law enforcement and where necessary our national guard to help protect the lives of our citizens and their property. >> sandra: senator, you have now released an ad in wisconsin and minnesota. you are warning the violent mob wants joe biden to be elected president. let's watch this together. >> the violent mob wants joe biden to be president. then no one will stand in their way. >> sandra: what is your messaging here? for a while it was the case we were hearing from the trump campaign, from the administration is that democrats, joe biden, they aren't condemning this violence. you saw joe biden's speech yesterday and now they are talking about it and they are blaming president trump. >> sandra, it's rich that they're blaming president trump for this violence. i don't think those were trump supporters harassing republicans leaving the white house last week or harassing
8:36 am
diners on the streets of washington, d.c. or trying to set fire last night to the portland mayor's residential building. those are violent left wing anarchists that joe biden and kamala harris not only refuse to denounce by name yesterday still for joe biden but for three months. they even endorsed bailing them out of jail. kamala harris called on her supporters to support a fund that would bail out accused rapists and murderers. joe biden's campaign staff sent money to bail them out. that's the true beliefs of joe biden and what his administration would represent. they would persecute and even in many cases prosecute local police departments for trying to protect our citizens, not crack down on the violent mobs we see in our streets. >> sandra: so do you believe the messaging will be on the part of your party? we had robert wolf former obama economic advisor on the program earlier. he was talking about the
8:37 am
violence and joe biden's speech yesterday and making the case that they are going to say this is all happening on president trump's watch under his presidency. watch this. >> i think joe biden stated his case. i know people loved his speech yesterday because he stated facts. it's a fact that crime is up 26% since donald trump has been the president. >> sandra: how do you respond to that, senator? >> those aren't facts. it is nothing but spin because this crime is rising and riots are occurring in cities with democratic mayors and states with democratic governors who refuse to call out the national guard and liberal prosecutors who refuse to press charges against any of these criminals. if donald trump said okay, i'll federalize your national guard and use the insurrection act to send in federal troops to maintain peace in places like
8:38 am
portland. those critics will be complaining about a fascist president. when i wrote an op-ed in the "new york times" suggesting the president be prepared to use the national guard and if necessary as the last resort federal troops, "the new york times" newsroom melted down because their woke children threw a hissy fit saying they needed a trigger warning for that microaggression. so donald trump can't be responsible for the violence that is happening in democratic cities with democratic prosecutors and mayors if they will not work with him to try to stop this violence. that violence is the result of democratic politicians and democratic policies. that's why the american people are rejecting those policies and democratic politicians like joe biden. >> sandra: seeing all this playing out. seeing the president on his way to kenosha this morning. two months to election day. your thoughts, senator, on where things stand for your party and for president trump today? >> sandra: i think the president is going to go to
8:39 am
kenosha. he will try to comfort those who have lost property and had their dreams destroyed and thank law enforcement that is all together appropriate. we can't allow democratic politicians to create no-go zones in their own communities not just for the police or private citizens but for the president of the united states. it will be a simple choice in november for the american people. do they support law enforcement, do they want to see public safety prevail in our streets or do they want to see four years of this radical mob given free rein by joe biden's administration? >> sandra: thank you for coming on with us. >> trace: a packed jetliner with a close call unlike any other. wait until you hear the pilot's reaction when a human being flies by his jet. and a little bit of good news on the coronavirus crisis. one state that was in deep trouble showing signs of bouncing back.
