u have any remaining symptoms from covid-19? >> nothing whatsoever. >> a vaccine were approved between now and the end of the year would you take it? >> i would take it and encourage people to take it. i'm not a fan of court packing. >> before election day.

>> you didn't ask joe biden whether or not he denounces antifa. >> what do you have to say to young black voters to eliminating the trump tax cuts? the trump tax cut reduces taxes for majority of workers. >> i will create 18.6 million new jobs, gdp will grow by $1 trillion more than it would enter trump. >> we closed it up. we are coming around the corner. next year is going to be better than ever before. ♪ i love it ♪ i don't care ♪ jillian: this song get you pumped up, the president was definitely pumped up. he took a lot of questions and by all accounts handled them. todd: was the president more pumped up than the young lady behind them in the crowd?

jillian: a lot of people were pumped up. you are watching "fox and friends first" on friday morning. todd: we are both pumped up for this am a tale of two townhall's, savannah guthrie turning up the heat in miami, george stephanopoulos and joe biden in philadelphia your democratic nominee was not even asked about his son hunter's emails. jillian: political analyst giano caldwell on deck, >> a different look at the trump and biden's townhall. it was after he was announced, the debate was going to be virtual, trump was grilled and interrupted for the first 20

minutes while some say biden got softball questions with little to no pressure. in a townhall moderated by savanna guthrie the president was pressed on pandemic and white supremacy. here's that exchange. >> i denounce white supremacy. i denounce white supremacy for all. you always start off with that question. you didn't ask joe biden whether he denounces antifa. i watched him on the same basic show and he was asking questions like biden was a child. >> reporter: guthrie interrupted multiple times when he was answering questions about his taxes. >> you could clear this up tonight by releasing your tax returns your self. you are the only -- >> it turned out i am. >> reporter: the irs is that doesn't stop you. >> not being under audit previously, at nbc, i under audit. i am under audit. no person in their right mind would release prior to working out a deal with the irs. jillian: a townhall moderated by

george stephanopoulos taking a more relaxed no pressure approach. the former vp when it came to raising taxes in the middle of a pandemic. >> raise the corporate tax, raise taxes on the wealthy, why do that when the economy is as weak as it is? >> that is a great question. >> reporter: biden doing a 180 on court packing. >> no matter what answer i gave you if i say that is the headline tomorrow. it won't be about what is going on now, improper proceeding. >> don't voters have a right to know? >> they do have a right to know where i stand before they vote. >> he will come out with a clear position before election day? >> yes. jillian: a try to clarify his if you ain't black comments made in the spring, supporting the crime bill was a mistake saying, quote, every black mayor supported it and hammered the

president on his response to the pandemic, not once was he asked anything about the bombshell emails regarding his son hunter's business dealings in ukraine. the final presidential debate is expected to happen next thursday, the 20 second in nashville. todd: we appreciate it. host of the outbound podcast giano caldwell. great to have you here. let's go back to eighth grade were you had to write thesis statements. for somebody who just -- didn't watch either a townhall, you watched both. summarize what you saw in a thesis. >> reporter: i saw joe biden who apparently believes he is about to be president, clearly picked out the curtains and disappointing to see how the media has been playing footsie with joe biden especially knowing we have real stories of potential corruption and not

getting any questions with bombshell report on that, should have been one of the questions with a bit of substance from our friends at abc but we didn't see that. on the other hand we see donald trump who was really debating on nbc, not sure who will win that race but donald trump to do a better job than he did in the first debate, he did condemn white supremacy which i appreciate from him as well, so we can move on on that front but it is problematic what we've seen on social media, twitter and facebook, with the mainstream media handy or trying to hand and election to joe biden, something that as a country whether you are democrat or republican we should all be concerned about. jillian: interesting to see the ratings from these two townhall's and see who was watching which one. let's talk about this, joe biden was asked about the crime bill.

>> and off a lot of people were jailed for minor drug crimes. was it a mistake to support it? >> he is it was. here's where the mistake came. the mistake came in terms of what states did locally. what we did federally, remember it was all about the same time for the same crime. jillian: a biden team member clarified what biden was talking about in regards to this, this week reads, quote, he was talking about the 86 crime bill that included mandatory minimums for drug offenses. the 94 crime bill did not which was what the vp was discussing. your reaction to that conversation. >> joe biden has flip-flopped on this issue more times than miami. this guy has had a position of it was great, the federal part of it wasn't all that bad so he

said that and other things. the interesting thing is the 94 crime bill had true consistency laws that incentivize the states to come out with their own legislation to knock up as many people as possible. we look at the fact that there is police brutality in our country, people have to understand the reason why is part of the reason why is the crime bill that was tough on crime mentality which i have nothing wrong with law and order but at the same time, the 86 crack laws which joe biden wrote, when you have a major disparity when it comes to treatment of individuals based on color you can't consider that anything but racist. people say institutional racism doesn't exist i point to the crime bill and say i think you are wrong. talking about these issues on my podcast, i wish people would

subscribe and listen, and the only time there are questions on this. he has been building his candidacy on black lives that seemingly mattered in 1994. todd: biden was pressed on the you ain't black comments. here's his response. >> beside you ain't black what do you say to young black voters? >> dealing with the criminal justice system to make it fair and more decent. to gain wealth, title i schools, bring in social workers and school psychologists. >> i think so. todd: did black america here what it needed to hear? >> know. joe biden's candidacy, i will be honest about that, how i

personally feel, many people feel the same way and that is why i think especially black men, donald trump will do better than he did in 2016. todd: the numbers will be fascinating when it shapes up. we appreciate your honesty and insight. >> out loud with giano caldwell. jillian: he was never asked about his son hunter's alleged emails about overseas business dealings. todd: fox news obtaining those emails showing he sought millions from the chinese firm. griff jenkins live in washington with the latest. >> reporter: this has been slow dripping off the front page of the new york post for two days, you would think joe biden would have been asked by now but i guess not. fox news took several of these emails, between hunter and the top executive at the ukrainian energy firm burisma detailing alleged meetings with his father, who was vice president at the time in these newest ones

raising questions about hunter's dealings with china. about the remuneration packages that include payments for six people, one of them someone called the big guy, another from august of 2017, hunter seeking $10 million in a deal that would be interesting for me and my family. joe biden was not asked about this, donald trump hammered the news on the campaign trail in north carolina. >> joe biden has been blatantly lying about his involvement in his son's corrupt business dealings. joe biden is a corrupt politician and has been corrupt for many years and everybody in washington do it. >> reporter: hunter biden's attorney released a statement taking a shot at trump's confidant rudy giuliani who provided hardware for where these emails emanated saying, quote, we have no idea where this came from and cannot credit

anything rudy giuliani provided to the new york post but what i do know for certain is this meeting never happened. joe biden hasn't talked about this but top donors on the call, we have 19 days left and throw everything but the kitchen sink at me. at capitol hill, the senate homeland security committee ron johnson investigating this and 19 house republicans sent a letter yesterday to fbi director chris ray, why the american people didn't know about this but the new york post had it, there will be more coming. todd: hope you slept on that minivacation because you're not sleeping between now and november. jillian: still ahead, hunter biden emails are evidence of corruption. todd: former us attorney joins us live next.

>> donald from doubling down on accusations of corruption in the biden family of fox news obtains two more emails allegedly linking hunter biden to a chinese firm. republicans want those emails and the biden family investigated. what are the important take aways for the american people just weeks before the election? former federal prosecutor joins us to explain all this, appreciate your time. >> good to be with you. >> reporter: you know as well as i know that you are not seeing this story circulating on all channels out there, on all platforms. why should people care about this? >> you remember when vice president biden said you know the thing, any federal prosecutor looking at the emails being uncovered, we know what the thing is, it is called corruption. this is not just circumstantial evidence. previously the vice president was able to plausibly deny he

had any knowledge of what his son was doing or any conversations but these emails are direct, not circumstantial. there was communication, there was access being sold and peddled by his son hunter biden. these are the things you present to a grand jury when you want to present an indictment. todd: a point i want to touch on, the lack of strong denial from joe biden or anyone in the biden family or on the campaign since these emails surfaced. what does that say? >> when the target of an investigation is confronted with evidence they don't think the government is aware of or is out there or public this is the reaction you get, you get a deer in the headlights, a pause, panic, responses that are not well thought through. this is what is happening in the biden camp. these emails do not just allege

that there was a one time instance, you have to combine it with text messages uncovered between hunter and his sister that seem to outline a long-standing, perhaps 30 plus years of corruption where hunter biden brings in money, conveys access or other privileges that would not be available without payment and funnels that money to his father. jillian: interesting to see what else comes out from this and where this goes from here. let's talk about this, senate republicans call on twitter and facebook, their bosses, to testify amid censorship claims. you saw the fallout of this on twitter. they say a subpoena is in the works was an update on twitter, changes after that feedback and this includes not removing hacked content shared by hackers or those acting in concert with them and they will provide

contact instead of blocking links. you can see the rest of it on your screen. what do you think should happen here? what is the fallout going to be? this is a little different following censorship claims in the past. >> it does and there's a reason it is causing a lot of concern, the subpoena from the senate, congressional subpoena is important, requires someone to respond. twitter, the reaction is an immediate response to the attention they are getting. it makes me more concerned whether the fbi who has the ability to investigate what was happening, whether or not they have also been part of keeping this story from being investigated. todd: thank you, appreciate your time. joe biden prepared to hike taxes during the pandemic.

>> going to raise taxes on the wealthy. is it wise to do that with the economy is weak as it is? >> wall street said i would create 18.6 million new jobs, gdp will grow by $1 trillion more. todd: joe biden says he would

illuminate donald trump's tax cuts as the president lays out how lower taxes lead to more jobs was business and economics professor at kings college joins me to break it down. you heard biden. you are and economics professor. is any of it right? >> joe biden likes to talk about certain aspects of his plan. he likes to not talk about the critical aspect. he loves to mention the movie study. he doesn't mention moody's has been wrong in some big ways in the past including about donald trump's own economic record. enough to talk about the fact that he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy but he doesn't like to talk about what his tax hikes on corporations and businesses would mean for the average american and we never get honest discussion about that. george stephanopoulos started to ask about that last night but joe biden dodged the question and unlike savannah guthrie

george stephanopoulos didn't dig in on it. the result was voters continually left in the dark about what the tax increases on corporations mean for them. it is not about the rich when you talk about tax increases on businesses. the question is how that flows down to the average worker. most people say it will hit the average worker, pay will take a hit because the businesses they work for are paying more taxes. todd: keep it as unclear as you possibly can leading up to the election if you are biden, he is doing a good job keeping this unclear. donald trump says we will have a phenomenal third-quarter and phenomenal economy despite rising jobless claims. we will pop that on-screen. what is the real state of our economy as we approach election day? >> we need a second wind. we had an incredibly fast comeback over the past few months especially on jobs.

nobody saw the increase in jobs by the millions that we had over the previous four months up until september. september was a little lower but still a very strong number historically, incredibly high number. we are ready moment we need a second wind and the question is how we get that second wind. the answer is despite what you hear out of dc which is all about stimulus the only way you get a real second wind is if more of the economy opens up. the big head wins right now is the election. there are so many businesses thinking about 2021 and they don't know what is coming, regulations going up, taxes going up, hard to plan for the uncertainty around the election and we need to get back to work of opening up cities and states one by one. when you do that the job numbers accelerate again but that is an open question until we know who is in the white house. todd: the president could use a killer q3 to hang his hat when

those numbers way up. we appreciate it, have a great weekend. jillian: from the economy to the supreme court joe biden doing a 180 saying he will reveal his stance on court packing before the election. former george w. bush speechwriter reacts to that reversal. ♪ you love your pet...but hate wearing their hair.

hear his clear answer before election day but the problem i keep going back to millions of people have voted and continuing to vote so why not come out with the answer now? i have a hard time following this. >> it is not really a change. it is another dodge to not answer the question. this is a radical step, in a way justice ruth bader ginsburg rejected, very radical and if he were against it, just trying to play games. the only reason the question is asked at all these mike pence shamed the press corps when he asked to raise it at the vice presidential debate, a better job pressing him on it. todd: george stephanopoulos's

attempt to press him. >> no matter what answer i gave you that is the headline. the improper way they are proceeding. >> don't voters have a right -- >> they have a right to know where i stand before they vote. >> they come out with a clear position before election day. todd: do you know how this will come down? court packing, although not a fan. >> like so much else, he put the moderate face out there, packaging bernie sanders and i don't think this is any different. >> he said his decision is based on how the senate handles the amy coney barrett confirmation. let's talk about those hearings, a blind former student of amy coney barrett recalls how she

as a christian amy coney barrett is commander, supposed to meet everyone she deals with as christ, hard thing to do but this young woman got a glimpse of that when she was a nobody and desperate and came to her for help. it is tremendous and commanding. todd: the left is any leg to stand on with this grim reaper narrative that amy coney barrett will take your healthcare away, any preexisting conditions? >> know. it is very illuminative. she is going to substitute, policy preferences for the laws but all they are pressuring her to do is substitute their preferences for the law. and eliminating for judicial philosophies, and they don't have the votes to stop it.

savanna guthrie was really annoyed. i wanted to hear the president answer. interrupting your political opponent can be a tactic and i'm in the minority but i think it was effective for donald trump. interrupting as a moderator is totally different. what is the tactic? you are not the opponents, you're a moderator. people are tuning into the network to listen to the president to see his responses and listen to what he said. what a joke. what was that? it was like a machine gun like fire for the interruptions. this was really odd. talk about how these two candidates are treated. savanna guthrie hammers the president, interrupt him relentlessly, about a story no one can authenticate, the new standard for journalism, we can authenticate it, see his tax returns, there is 0 allegation of illegality whatsoever, you may not like the tax return story but no allegation he broke the law and yet nobody asks

biden about the most explosive set of emails we've seen in a presidential campaign in 20 years and his son may have some dealings with an enemy of the united states his dad may have known about, it is embarrassing at this point. todd: we will get to the email situation, but should any of this comes as a shock to anyone? you were on twitter, you saw the pressure on in dc for one scheduling this debate in a first place, but rescheduling at the same time. they are under a lot of pressure. none of this should come as a shock. >> do the right thing. if you are going to do one of these townhall's do the right thing. have some dignity. the townhall yesterday, savanna guthrie was jumping into the

townhall questioners, asking a question, trump is responding, let them come back. she is jumping in for them. i am not a journalist, not pretending to be. my opinions are strong in favor of my side, but she did herself no favors last night. i support donald trump, it is not a mystery but i thought he did quite well. could have been better moments but did quite well and she was terrible. jillian: we will have more with you after the break so stay tuned, much more when "fox and friends first" returns.

. . jillian: we are back with dan bongino right now. dan, let's talk about this. fox news obtains emails related to hunter biden's alleged dealings with china. one day after other emails show alleged dealings with ukraine. dan, you know, there has been no strong denial from joe biden, from the biden campaign this week about all of these emails that have come out. there also weren't questions about this last night. what do you make of that? >> listen, this is serious. i was on with hannity last night. and i said something i'm very serious about. and i know it may troublesome people on the left and maybe some people on the right and that's okay. if these emails are, in fact, authenticated and you are accurate, they have not denied the authenticity of the emails. they haven't confirmed but they haven't denied them either, joe biden has to step out of this race. he has to. i mean, this is an unbelievable, an off the charts national

security risk, if these emails are authenticitied. jillian, if he does not step out and the republicans get a majority or have the votes even with some democrats he will have to be impeached immediately upon being sweared in. that may sound wild to folks you think about what we are talking about if these emails are authenticated a guy who could be the president of the united states we have information on his son that we know the chinese communist party has and here's the dangerous part. we don't know what else they have. this is a serious blac blackmaik for the president of the united states. believe me, it gives me know joy in saying that. i will tell you why. i think biden is a weak candidate. i think president trump is going to win. throw the election in turmoil. you can't have the president in office with this kind of material out there and other teecial out there we don't even

know about by one of our enemies that's another country that's a nuclear power. you can't have it. todd: have you had critics say what about the president's kids. president trump's kids and their business dealings, their foreign business dealings? how do you respond? >> they are in real estate. they build buildings in foreign countries. i mean, i don't understand what the charge is there. i get what you are saying. devil's advocate is great. it keeps us sharp on our side and should keep the president sharp, too. there should be questions about the president's business dealings when appropriate. but no one is above the law. the question, todd, we have been asking those questions of the president with investigations and hoax impeachment trial and everything else for now roughly four years and we found, what? we found nothing that the president, his kids, build buildings overseas? there has never been a credible question of illegality anywhere. we have had multiple allegations

at the state and federal level. we have had congressional investigations. we have had adam schiff dedicated full time. are we going to dedicate those same assets now to former vice president biden? it's only fair. i'm not asking anything unusual or unprecedent and find out if there is illegality there. jillian: let's stay on the topic here for a second and talk about its impact on social media. twitter makes major policy changes following, you know, claims of censorship. you saw it happening on twitter, the fallout from it. and then they sent out this tweet saying what's changing? they are no longer going to remove hacked content unless those shared by hackers or acting in content with them. they will label tweets to provide context instead of blocking links from being shared on twitter. dan, any time we have these conversations about censorship it's getting worse and worse. are these changes going to fix anything? dan: let me disclose for the audience i am one of the oh, of

their major competitor parlor so everybody understands. listen, this is the single dumbest business decision in probably modern american history when it comes to a tech company. nobody likes censorship, jillian, nobody. it's obvious. the democrats can hoot and howl all they want trump may have been misinformation quietly behind the scenes i still have friends on both sides of the aisle they say this was really, really stupid. you know the stripes sand effect. you tell people not to do it harks back to barbara stripes sand don't take pictures of my house. promptly every paparazzi showed up to take pictures of her house. don't you dare read this article it could be really bad. they amplified the article by 10,000. having said that, this is why this is so bad. here is a quick analogy i use. back say hundreds of years ago you have to go out in the public square for town office. i'm dan bongino running for

office. we bought up all the streets on the public square and prevented from you campaigning out therein the public square. catastrophically stupid decision. they have interfielder in an election. ticked off even friends of theirs. again, i will reiterate probably the single dumbest decision by a tech company i have ever seen which will probably bury their company long term. todd: on the whole has worried should the american be about the chilling of free speech? dan: i helped start one of their competitors. i'm worried. maybe i'm not the average american. if you can't speak in an election and get your ideas out there and can't campaign we don't have free and fair elections period, full stop. todd: there is frightening time and tucker carlson talking about it every night. some truth to that check out dan bongino's book follow the money.

dan, we thank you for getting up with us and we certainly are praying for you and wishing you the best. jillian: we love you, dan. keep us updated. dan: thank you. jillian: he is the best. todd: he we wish him the best. what a week. jillian: there is another one next week. todd: oh, there is? jillian: "fox & friends" continues now. ♪ ♪ ♪ fired up. steve: count down to election day as you can see 18 days left to go. welcome aboard. it is friday. you are watching "fox & friends." ainsley and brian, we just started with a split screen of the dueling town halls yesterday and i'm sure a lot of america did what i did and you two probably did it as well. you took the remote and every once in a while you click back and forth. back and forth. and what i noticed was the more i did it, the
