♪ a beautiful day. ♪ it's a beautiful day. ♪ don't let it get away. ♪ todd: i believe it is supposed to be a beautiful day on this labor day here in the tri state area, new york, new jersey, connecticut. we hope of it's a beautiful day wherever you are as well. jillian: todd has a lot of energy at 4:00 in the morning, by the way. todd: i wouldn't go that far. i ate my entire freezer, trying to clear out summer in preparation for fall. i'm sure america needed to know that. good morning. you're watching "fox & friends first." i'm todd piro. jillian: i'm jillian mele. president trump is keeping a historic economic comeback this

labor day. todd: joe biden and kamala harris hammering the president's economic response to covid-19. jillian: doug luzader is live in washington as both campaigns hit the trail to swing states. >> reporter: i think the candidates will need some of todd's energy in the days you ahead. we're getting to the final stretch. president trump tomorrow is going to be heading to the critical state of north carolina. of course, he was there just a few days ago. vice president mike pence is going to be in wisconsin today. we know the role that that state played in the last election. it's going to play an important role this time around. there's going to be a lot of talk today about the economy, especially in the wake of that jobs report that came out last week, showing a big drop in the unemployment rate. >> it's going to be a very clear choice in november. president trump who has already built the world's best economy once and is doing it a second time and joe biden who would raise taxes by $4 trillion in

the middle of this recovery and kill the recovery while it's still going on and on top of that, heap the regulations of the green new deal on top of every person and building in this country. it will be a clear choice. >> reporter: democratic vice presidential come knee kamala harris will be in -- nominee kamala harris will be in wisconsin today, talking to labor leaders there. the biden campaign's take on the jobs report is that it's not improving quickly enough and there are fundamental issues of fairness. >> there is no question that donald trump has been an ab; correct failure and -- abject failure and incompetent in addressing the severe job loss as a result of the pandemic. he failed to address the pandemic itself. >> reporter: joe biden will be speaking the to labor leaders at a virtual event from

pennsylvania, another important state that will get a lot of you attention in these final weeks. jillian: yes, it is. thanks, doug. todd: the new york times digging into joe biden's history with china, the paper breaking down biden's time as senate foreign relations chair, with his refusal to condemn actions, reporting that mr. biden speaks these days not of transforming china but of restoring the united states. jillian: the trump campaign responding, saying, quote, joe biden yo appeased china and american workers paid the price, adding to this day he doesn't view china as an economic threat and routinely dismisses it as a competitor to the united states. todd: as of now, the biden campaign has not commented on the times' article. jillian: white house trade advisor peter navarro says when it comes to china a biden

presidency would be disastrous. >> what would that mean for the american people? we know what it would mean. devastation in the midwest, our blue collar workers just getting hammered. we lost over 70,000 factories, over 5 million manufacturing jobs and it was because joe biden likes made in china, donald trump came along in many ways because he said, hey, that's not good. that's not right. i'm going to fix that. so beijing biden versus made in america donald j trump. i think that's one of the stark differences between the two sides. jillian: the trump administration struck a phase one trade deal with china that took effect in february. it calls for china to boost purchases of u.s. farm goods and give the u.s. more access to china's financial services markets. todd: a fox news alert now, a state of emergency declared in parts of california as dangerous

wildfires burn across the state, one of the largest is the creek fire which has burned more than 73,000 acres. more than 200 people air-lifted to safety after being trapped by flames over the weekend. this all comes in the midst of an historic and deadly heat wave. several trails shut down after a hiker died from a heat related seizure. woodland hills hit 121 degrees on sunday, the hottest temperature ever recorded in la county. jillian: protests breaking out in major cities overnight after a violent weekend of riots leading to a record number of arrests s. todd: we have more on the unrest. >> reporter: protesters hitting the streets of rochester, new york for a fifth straight night following the death of daniel prude. the crowd took aim at a congress glan we have some of -- congressman. >> we have some of our elected

officials marching with us. we want to ask joe morelli, with all the money you've taken from the police, what do you plan on doing with that money? jillian: as you can see, that didn't go as planned. this comes after rochester's mayor promises to enact police reform, the city planning to double the availability of mental health individuals and shifting the crisis intervention team out of the police department. protests turning violent this weekend, nine people in rochester arrested. the mayor slamming outside agitators for the destruction. >> there's agitators in the crowd, whether from here or elsewhere, who do want to provoke and want the kind of confrontation. jillian: and moving across the country into portland, oregon, a record 59 people were arrested during the weekend riots there. authorities say rioters through molotov cocktails at police, even setting one of their own on fire. porportland's mayor, ted wheeler

condemning the violence, saying in part, we need to end the long, hard summer and come together, the community must say enough is enough and hold those engaged in criminal acts accountable. meanwhile, joe biden's campaign now claiming president trump has not been clear enough against riots in the country. listen. >> it doesn't matter what political party you belong to. it doesn't matter what your political beliefs are. violence is wrong. joe biden has been very clear. i do believe it's donald trump that is not. jillian: president trump has repeatedly tweeted, calling for law and order in major cities. labor leaders threatening a walk youth for teachers, auto workers and drivers before the election. they're threatening to walk out unless police reform happens. todd: the attorney for jacob blake's family speaking out after blake released a video from his hospital bed. his attorney says the family wants answers. >> they want accountability.

they want justice, hoping there will be accountability because there seems to be an epidemic where black people who have not put anybody in harm's way, yet they continue to be killed. jillian: blake's family says he is paralyzed after being shot in the back by police in kenosha, wisconsin, the police union says he had a knife and was resisting arrest. todd: recent police shootings including the one involving jacob blake prompted calls from the left to h defund police. sarah carter says as a result police departments have been losing officers. >> we've lost over 100 police officers since the george floyd killing and the community is reeling. people are saying please bring our police force back. you know, defunding the police and shutting down innovation and not caring about small businesses is exactly the

opposite of what people should be doing in politics and i think what we're seeing is this reawakening of the republican party and a reawakening within america where we're putting america first and that is the most important part of the maga doctrine and that's what donald trump's legacy will be. todd: in medicin minneapolis, y council members vowed to abolish the police department. it's unclear when or if they'll go through it. jillian: a tennis superstar apologized after getting disqualified for the u.s. open after hitting a line judge with a ball. he smacked the ball behind him in frustration after trailing in the first step. it hit the judge in the neck. she immediately fell to the ground and is okay. jotodd: that got a lot of attention yesterday. jillian: yes, it did. todd: he did not mean to do it.

the games will go on, the new message from olympic organizers about next year's event in japan. jillian: as crime surges in new york city, a new report says many of the cases did not end in arrest. we have live details with what happened, what needs to happen to end the chaos in the big apple. robinhood believes now is the time to do money.

[crowd noises] todd: chaos on the streets of portland, protesters marching for the 102nd straight night after a violent riot this weekend. jillian: joining us now, former detective, dr. oscar odem and lieutenant joe cardenell. >> jillian: as more time goes by

and as more people seemingly get away with violence that's happening on the streets, what is at risk here for our future? >> safety. the public safety. the public is at peril because of the events that have taken place. it's like a snow ball that's rolling downhill and getting bigger and bigger, more out-of-control. there's so much crime increasing, the public is at risk. the an economy is at risk. the police officers are at risk. until someone says stop and let the police be the police, then law and order will take place again. because one of the things as i always say, when they say no justice, no peace, and that is true in that if there is no justice, meaning that people are not indicted and held accountable, there will be no peace for the public because they will still be back on the streets, committing robberies, murders and shootings. jillian: if i could follow up on that. how is the economy at risk? that's the first time i'm

hearing what angling of it. >> because first of all, what happened is they're looting and rioting the stores. the business owners can't stay open. they keep on going in and when the business owners are open, they're robbing them, messing up their stores many when they do this, people are losing their jobs, businesses are are losing their money. they try to reopen and reopen again. at a certain point they can't reopen anymore because they lost so much money. they may be injured or shot by opening their doors. not only do the owners lose their jobs, the people who work for them lose their jobs and they close up and leave. todd: it was a curious response from mayor wheeler over the weekends. there's a lot to unpack here. let me read it. portlanders value peaceful demonstrations and the reform they seek. we need to end this long, hard summer and come together. the community must say enough is enough and hold those who engage in criminal acts accountable. what do you make of that

statement? >> that's just the mayor passing the buck. i mean, here you go. if he would let the police do their job, he wouldn't have to worry about it to this extent. the passing on to the community and saying enough is enough, it's on his shoulders, nobody else's, him, the governor and they have no response but to blame it on everybody else. it's passing the buck, that's all that is. and like the officer said, this is going to snowball into bigger and better things for them. jillian: if we take a look at this number here, 210 of the approximate 1,000 shootings this year have had arrests. that's about 20% of new york city shootings ending in arrest this year. that is not a good number for those who are concerned about their safety. >> definitely not. there it is, as i said, the term no justice, no peace, meaning because there is no justice, people are not held accountable, they're not indicted, they're

not able to serve the time for committing the crimes and they do it again. also the fact that there's no anti-crime unit. so therefore, all they're looking for is uniforms and if they don't see uniforms they know they can commit these crimes. they need to bring back the anti-crime units, let the police be the police and things will get better, if they do that. todd: i think you'll have critics say these crimes are pretty tough to solve. what's your response to that? >> new york city detectives are the best in the world. they'll do what they have to do. given the limitation this have right now, they're understaffed, over-worked and the crimes are coming in faster than before and also there's no cooperation to solve these crimes. like oscar said, with the resolving door justice, this is the result you're going to get. they're going to have a lot tougher times to solve these crimes and this is going to happen all the way down the stretch over here until the election and then sometime thereafter because they just don't want to get the police --

give the police the ability to do their jobs. that's the bottom line. todd: joe and oscar, we appreciate your time. enjoy your labor day. jillian: thank you. >> thank you, likewise. >> thank you, you too. jillian: peter strzok opening up about the errors in the fisa application for the trump campaign. >> i don't think at all that it's anything improper. you get people who are overworked, who make mistakes, don't get me wrong, inexcusable mistakes. todd: colleges battling covid-19 outbreaks. should sick students go home or stay on campus. dr. jeanette nesheiwat joins us next with what parents need to know. look here, it's your very own all-in-one

jillian: good morning. welcome back. college campuses are grape martin luthegrapplingwith how tg coronavirus cases, with nearly a fifth of college campuses opening in person, how should schools handle outbreaks and what do parents n t dr. jeanette nesheiwat joins us now. good to see you. >> good to see you too. jillian: university of alabama, illinois state university, arizona state, i'm from philadelphia and recently my social media timeline has been filled with what's going on at temple university where they've because of a covid outbreak suspended in-person classes for the rest of the fall semester. students are moving out of the dorms there. they were there for a week. the question is, what is the best case scenario once this happens? do you keep students on campus? do you pack them up and send them home? where should they be? >> sure. ultimately, gillian, they'll start off probably with two weeks closing the schools down and hopefully allowing class and

resuming their learning from home, from their computer, via zoom or any online method. right now, when we see -- they're young kids. they're teenagers. when they aren't able to comply with basic preventative measures, then they have to take actions to prevent the spread from one person to another. it makes sense. i agree with dr. fauci, keeping them at school. for example, if they're on on dashcam pus housing, if they're in an apartment, it's better to stay there than getting on a bus, a train, or taking a care where you could be contaminating other people and bringing the disease home. if you're coughing and sneezing, you have a fever, and you get on an airplane, even if you're wearing a mask, that can be dangerous. you could be infecting other people, bringing it home to your parents. it's in some cases safer to stay where you're at. if you're in a dorm room and you have a roommate and you share a common area, that could be an issue too. some of the universities are putting sick patients, their

sick students in hotels to really try to do everything they can. it depends on if you're symptomatic, if you're asymptomatic, are you coughing, are you sneezing, do you have a weakened immune system. you have to take all those factors into consideration. for now, they're doing the right thing by making it where they only have online learning. jillian: i can see scenarios, though, where some parents might not want their kids to stay on campus and they're worried about them, they're worried if they get it or if they'll have the proper medical treatment they need. but i completely hear your point, that if you do go home you risk giving it to other people. i think that's a hard one for a lot of parents right now to deal with. >> absolutely. yeah, absolutely. jillian: let's talk about this. labor day, a holiday weekend, a lot of people have a long weekend and dr. fauci said this will be a critical point in the severeity of covid-19 this fall. he's warning seven states to be cautious of coronavirus. at the jersey shore, different shore points along the coast, you have a lot of people with

family and friends in houses. what do we need to watch out for after this weekend? >> today, jillian, this monday, memorial day, this is a turning point for these seven states where we're seeing spikes and increases in iowa, illinois, the dakotas, even the white house task force warned for example, iowa, you need to shut down bars, no indoor dining. this is very important. because we don't want the approach that projected number of 300,000 deaths by december 1st. so it's important and it's critical, now more than ever, to adhere and comply to the guidelines of wearing a mask, especially if you can't social distance, and taking common sense precautions. remember, this is a very opportunistic infection, it will spread from person to person if we allow it to. jillian: if we let our guard down. >> >> these seven states need to be strict with their precautions, now more than ever. jillian: thank you, we

appreciate your time. todd: joe biden and kamala harris slamming president trump over the economy. will that message win over voters? our panel here to debate, next.

todd: a desperate search underway right now for a sailor who has gone missing from the uss nimitz in the middle east. jillian: trey yingst has the latest. >> reporter: the search continues today for this missing u.s. sailor in the arabian sea, the u.s. service member is normally stationed aboard the uss nimitz. the sailor's name and rank are currently being withheld. this is still considered a search and rescue operation. the service member is listed now as duty status whereabouts unknown. the uss nimitz is a super carrier with more than 6,000 personnel on-board, it can hold more than 80 aircraft. it is joined in the search by the uss princeton.

last summer a sailor went missing in a similar area from the uss abraham lincoln and was ultimately declared dead after no body was recovered. the pentagon is expected to release an update on the search and rescue efforts. todd: keep us posted. trey yingst live for us in the middle east. thank you so much. jillian: the former fbi agent who played a major role in the russia investigation defending mistakes made in fisa applications. listen for yourself. >> you get people who are overworked. who make mistakes. don't get me wrong, inexcusable mistakes. jillian: peter strzok oversaw the early days of the russia investigation. in total, 17 significant errors were reported in the application for fisa warrants. fox news contributor and former chairman of the house oversight committee trey gowdy says things can change rapidly in this investigation but he doesn't think more indictments are likely.

>> my experience, as a prosecutor, your status can change in an instant. you can move from being a witness to a subject to a target, so i understand that brennan's pr machine wants us a all to believe that he's not a target. that status can change. you're one document or one false statement away from going from one to the other. so with respect to durham, my expectation is that he is going to access documents that ratcliffe and i never got to see, he's going to access documents that the fbi never shared with congress and he'll write the definitive accounting of what happened. whether or not there will be more indictments or not, i like to assume there will not be. jillian: attorney general bill barr said the durham probe will not affect the november election. todd: as candidates prepare for a busy week in battleground states, kamala harris is setting up the democrats' message, slamming president trump on the economy. >> donald trump has been an

abject failure and incompetent when it comes to addressing the severe job loss that has happened as a result of the pandemic. in fact, there is abject despair. todd: will the dems convince voters or will president trump energize the swing states? here to debate, aaron he'l elmod robert patillo. make the democratic case that president trump is a failure on the economy? >> i don't think there's any case that has to be made. the american people can see what's going on around them. you have nearly 50 million people apply for unemployment benefits, even prior to the coronavirus we had an economy which had an unemployment rate which was artificially inflated by gig -- by the gig economy. what democrats have to do is

build back better, have to demonstrate what they're going to do to build the same economy that bill clinton left us that had a surplus, that obama left us where the unemployment rate was going down and good, high paying jobs were continuing to be built by americans and not this artificial tax cuts and built on increased spending. todd: erin, your rebuttal. >> the american public is simply not buying what joe biden and cam call are selling. they deal in fear and misinformation and the facts tell a completely different story. let's look at the staggering numbers from the august job report. 1.4 million jobs were added to the economy, wages are up 4%. unemployment is down by 2%. and all key industries saw job gains, 45,000 additional manufacturing jobs were added, retail added 249,000 jobs, retail was destroyed by the coronavirus. that's a huge rebound. and another huge rebound, leisure and hospitality added 174,000 jobs. august marks the fourth largest

job gain in american history. this is 2.5 times better than we ever saw under joe biden and barack obama. so i'm just dealing in facts here. they can go around to key swing states and pander but the answers are in the facts and facts don't lie. todd: robert, erin mentioned the unemployment rate. let's pop this up on the screen, one number is 8.4%. that is down from 14.7% in april. these numbers go in line with what erin just told us two seconds ago. are voters going to buy these biden, harris knocks on the economy if these numbers continue to go down in the weeks and months leading up to november 3rd? >> let's understand, everybody wants the numbers to go down but in large part the numbers are going down because people stopped applying for and looking for new jobs. this is the report of new jobless claims. there are no jobs out there. people stop applying. you have to understand is that we look at what's going on with the lack of a stimulus,

dedicated and targeted at middle income and low income people, the lack of real governmental action to stem the tide of unemployment, to give us a plan going forward. these are simply reopening and letting as many people die as possible. i don't know if the american people know if that's a real plan for fixing the economy going forward. you have to have a clear strategy. that's not been articulated by this administration. todd: erin, your response? >> our current under-employment rate under president trump is better than obama/bidens first term. joe biden is the worst person to have in charge of our economy and vice president -- as vice president he presided over the worst economic recovery since the great depression. his plan includes a $4 trillion tax hike and 82% of americans would see a tax increase under joe biden. so i really think if you want to speak to the american people, they're going to speak to these numbers and say i don't want a tax hike, i want to continue to see economic recovery.

joe biden is not the candidate for me. todd: we've got to leave it there. we appreciate your time on this labor day, talking about jobs and of course the economy. enjoy your day. >> thanks, todd. >> thank you. you too. todd: as democrats and republicans duke it out in battleground states, charlie kurt says regardless of what happens in november, president trump has given the gop a jolt of energy that won't be forgotten. >> his lasting legacy is giving the gop a jolt, from challenging endless nation-building adventures overseas and president trump one day he's not going to be president, unfortunately, but his legacy is just beginning, it's the beginning of positive change to be a people-centered government, not a government that is centered around the elites against the people. todd: last month there was a new poll of showing enthusiasm among trump supporters is higher

than among biden. jillian: the trump campaign slamming the atlantic magazine for its report claiming the president called fallen soldiers losers and suckers. >> it's pretty clear here that journalism was abandoned, that underliss particular integrity has to be -- journalistic integrity has to be in question, where anonymous sources are trying to hide their identities, instead of standing up to level such disgusting accusations against the president of the united states. jillian: the editor in chief defended the piece and said he expects more reports to come out. >> across the national security complex, people who have devoted their careers to protecting the united states, there is a sense of horror about the way he acts and behaves and talks. jillian: president trump has denied making the remarks and accused the atlantic of using fake anonymous sources. prince harry and meghan markle

are facing critical for cancelling a fundraiser because of an you apparent conflict of interest. according to the sunday times it was canceled days before signing a nine figure deal for netflix. the event was set to be aired by amazon, a competitor of netflix. a spokesperson for the event says it was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. the invictus games was founded by the prince. todd: julianne yo julian assag several charges in the u.s. he has been in british custody after being evicted from ebbing ecuador's embassy last year. the hearing is expected to last several weeks. he faces up to 175 years in prison. jillian: the baseball world is mourning the death of a hall of famer, he won two world series and was a six time all-star. he retired with 938 career

standstill but there's hope. the encouraging message from the trump administration. todd: our long national nightmare continues, the john oliver sewage plant saga in one connecticut city could be coming to a close. the condition the comedian must agree to sea to seal the deal.

jillian: good morning. welcome back. republicans and democrats finally reaching a deal but not on covid-19 relief. todd: treasury secretary steven mnuchin telling fox news that house speaker nancy pelosi and he have agreed on a clean continuing resolution to keep the government funded until mid-december. stimulus talks are still stalled. >> the speaker has refused to sit down and negotiate unless we agree to something like a $2.5 trillion deal in advance. let's do a more targeted bill now. if we need to do more in 30 days, we'll continue to do more. jillian: mnuchin says the white house hopes to move forward on a

skinny stimulus bill in the next week. jillian: senator john ba -- todd: senator john barasso needs to forget politics and do what's best for the american people. >> it's not beyond nancy pelosi to play politics with this. we've been at this point where democrats want to add more money to the federal debt with more spending. we need to end government shutdowns permanently. but also, the integrity and hard work of the american people who want to get back to work, we have a targeted package that the republicans want to put forward to help people get back to work. there's paycheck protection money in for our small businesses to continue. it's almost as if the democrats think they'll do better in the election if more people are suffering. you heard joe biden say he would shut down the economy again. that's not what we need to do as a path forward for america. todd: republicans will propose $500 billion targeted package this week. jillian: united is ready to

take off next month. the airline is adding and restoring flights as it tries to recover from the pandemic. united says it is flying less than half of its normal schedule compared to last year. the move comes less than a week after united said it would permanently eliminate change fees to encourage passengers to fly. and call it an out-of-this world trip, virgin galactic planning its next space flight next month. they are holding flights to test the spacecraft system. two test pilots will be on dashboard the mission, one step closer of the goal of flying sir richard branson into space early next year. todd: good news this labor day weekend, gas prices are the cheapest they've been since 2004. triple a says the average price for a gallon of regular, just $2.22. that is down 14% from a year ago. low prices likely to stay through the end of the year as

millions continue to work from home. jillian: todd's favorite story now. a feud between john oliver and dan bury, connecticut may be coming to an end. the city agreed to his demand to name the sewage plant after him in exchange for $55,000 donation to charity but the mayor says there is a catch. >> we do have one very specific condition. you must come here to danbury and be physically present when we cut the ribbon. todd: this comes after a back and forth started by also of ever on his show a few week ago. no word yet on whether oliver will you attend. danbury's a nice community, nice people, nice community. why is oliver going after them? don't know. time now, 47 minutes after the hour. a battleground blitz this week as both sets of candidates hit the road. jillian: which campaign has the upper hand in each swing state. radio host tony katz believe it comes down to the economy and

law and order. he shares his predictions, next. i feel like we're forgetting something.

let me check. xfinity home gives you peace of mind from anywhere with professionally monitored home security built around you. no, i think we're good. -good. so when you're away, you don't have to worry. the tent. we forgot... the tent. except about that. xfinity home. simple, easy, awesome. hey look, i found the tent! and, see, it's safe. call, click, or visit a store today.

todd: nine minutes before the top of the hour. a swing state showdown, both president and and vice presidential candidates chris-crossing the country this week to make their pitch to battleground owners. who has the edge? jillian: tony katz joins us now to weigh in. good to see you as always. >> absolutely. jillian: let's begin in wisconsin. presidential preference, before and after the convention, you'll see there before joe biden with 49% and after the convention that has gone up to 52%. how do you see this playing out? >> well, wisconsin and michigan, florida, pennsylvania, we're

going to see a lot of travel from the candidates around those states. wisconsin is still of course a manufacturing conversation and more than ever is a law and order conversation and that's why these two conversations absolutely lead for both republicans and democrats. when they go to wisconsin, it's easy for the vice president who is going to be visiting, kamala harris is going as well, to talk about these things. mike pence has always been a law and order guy. he's always been in that vein. and when it comes to manufacturing, indiana, his -- where he was governor, his current state, is the most industry-intensive state in the nation. these are easy, good, simple conversations for him to have, very relateable. for kamala harris it's a lot more difficult to engage the law and order conversation when she has been so silent on the law and order conversation, considering she was the top cop in california which is also not a good look for her. everywhere she turns to try and say hey, we can bring about safety and security for the

nation, falls flat because she's doesn't have really -- call it the gr savmenravitas or americat have the trust in her to bring that. this wisconsin conversation like you'll see in pennsylvania, these law and order and manufacturing conversations are a great, great subject that work much better for pence and president trump and not as well for harris and biden. todd: tony, obviously law and order are going to be the -- if not one of the key issues in the campaign but specifically in pennsylvania, you mentioned pennsylvania, fracking is going to be a key deal. let's look at the numbers in pennsylvania. you see before the convention it definitely has shrunk since the convention concluded. let's focus on fracking. is biden's ambiguity on fracking going to cost him the keystone state. i heard what he said. i have no idea what his position on fracking is based upon his

flip-flopping. >> it's not ambiguity. he lied. he went to pennsylvania last week and he lied to the people of pennsylvania and they know it. he has said he doesn't believe in fracking. he said he's going to end fracking. he told that little girl he was going to put an end to fossil fuel use. then you have him on record saying, well, i don't listen to president trump, i'm not going to ban fracking. of course he is. if he's going to try and get the progressive wing of the democratic party to come with him, those bernie bros, of courses going to end fracking. todd: you don't buy that he's just going to ban it on public land? you don't buy that? >> that's a risk if you want to take, i say best of luck to you. that's not a smart risk, that's not a smart play to believe that the bernie bros and the owe of e cassia cortez -- ocacio corecorz

set are going to -- jillian: let's take a look at the number before and after the election. president trump you see there according to this poll dropped 2 points there. what does that tell you? >> i thinker we still have -- think that we still have way too much of faith in polling and we have to get far more into what are the core subjects that we're looking at. you take a look at the unemployment rate going down, you take a look at america wanting to continue to build this economy even in this coronavirus world, you take a look at the two subjects, law and order, especially when you look at cities like portland and seattle and people wondering could that happen in cities in michigan, you take a look at how gretchen whitmer has dealt with the economy and they say we need to bring more jobs in and we need to ensure that we at least have a candidate who thinks that policing isn't awful, right. changes the policing might be a different conversation than thinking policing is awful. even there, i think you've got to spend more time out of the polls, more time with the

people. manufacturing, law and order are still the front and center subjects and that still sides with president trump and vice president pence. jillian: we'll be talking to you again about it. thank you for joining us. todd: tony fired up. coming up in the next hour of "fox & friends first," a raging wildfire sparked by a celebration. how a gender reveal party turned into this. donald trump and bill barr are spending full-time in a different reality. jillian: kamala harris going on offense, claiming there are two justice systems in america. gianno caldwell live to react.

todd: it is monday, september 7th. fiery protests in portland as a mob surrounds a police precinct. it caps another weekend of chaos that stretched across did country to rochester, new york. jillian: it comes as america's largest workers unions call for walkouts in support of black lives matter. president trump celebrating labor day with a promise to america's workers, a historic economic turnaround on the horizon. todd: expect a different message from joe biden and kamala harris when they visit two critical swing states today. jillian: plus, the nfl kicks off this week and one team got the green light to put fans in the stands. todd: "fox & friends first" on your upon day morning continues -- on your monday morning continues
