counting what do you say. >> we are working right now across the country on protect the vote tour. lara trump and i have been in every single battle ground state. we are traveling around the country recruiting and training volunteers to serve as ballot observers and workers in every one of the states across the country. already got 165,000 people who have signed up to help make sure that it's easy to vote and hard to cheat. >> carley: you said that you believe 50% of americans will vote before election day. so we went from election day to election -- two months and two days. that's just the nature of the game right now. michael what thely, thank you very much for joining us septemr is my. get ready for it. "fox & friends" starts now. >> carley: have a great day. ♪ ♪ >> brian: all right.

it's 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. don't ask me how i keep figure it out every day. >> ainsley: called a watch. >> brian: gave away my secret. sense, august 21st, it's "fox & friends." we're in new york and in chicago. night two of the dnc wraps up without an appearance from kamala harris as the obamas touted hope and attack trump. >> as we embrace this renewed sense of hope, let us not forget what we are up against. >> donald trump wants us to think that this country is hopelessly divided. >> steve: there is that hope again. vice presidential nominee j.d. vance is going to join us live on our program as kamala harris goes # 1 days 1 kay -- 31 days t a substantive interview. >> ainsley: dozen of anti-israel activists are arrested and protesters burning the american flag.

>> lawrence: unbelievable. if you don't like the country, why are you hear? so i visited a chicago barbershop, multiple ones, actually. and went there to see how voters are feeling in the city. watch. >> hearing from the democrats are already things that they failed at over 30 years. >> blacks are struggling more than any other demographic. >> they go to the poll vote democrat, vote democrat. i don't really see no change. >> lawrence: more from those voters later, guys. "fox & friends" starts right now. and, remember, mornings are better with friends. >> steve: all right. there you look live in chicago. it's day three of the dnc kicking off united center in a couple of hours. this, after former president barack obama and former first lady michelle obama urged americans to unite behind kamala harris who was noticeably absent from chicago but showed up in milwaukee. >> brian: in front of a big crowd. griff jenkins is live in

washington. have you kept up with all of this. >> trying to the best i can, brian. day three kicks off soon and former president bill clinton will take the stage tonight. but it was all about the obamas last night. former first lady michelle obama saying hope is making a comeback, throwing her support behind vp harris who was noticeably absent. >> from a middle class household, kamala worked her way up to become vice president of the united states of america. kamala harris is more than ready for this moment. she is one of the most qualified people ever to seek the office of the presidency. >> then came the big speech a message of unity and joy and praise for joe biden's service as president. >> i am feeling hopeful. will. [cheers] >> because this convention has

always been good to kids with funny names who believe in a country where anything is possible. history will remember joe biden as an outstanding president, who defended democracy be at a moment of great danger. >> it wasn't all positive. both took digs at former president trump. meanwhile harris was 90 miles away at a separate event to avoid bad optics of man joe biden views as largely responsible for ending re-election bid. a source familiar with the planning telling our own jacqui heinrich the choice was made out of sensitivity and respect for biden saying the obamas are still not on the white house good side. now, harris returned to chicago during michelle obama's speech. and tonight, we'll hear from another person viewed as playing a role in pushing biden out. former speaker nancy pelosi takes the stage. bill clinton takes the stage. also watching by the way to see if harris will be in attendance there and if she will end her 31

days of avoiding an interview or press conference. guys? >> so, griff, you are saying, according to jacqui heinrich, apparently they assembled thousands of people in the fiserv arena we were at last month simply so there wouldn't that be image of kamala harris linking arms with the obamas? >> griff: well, that source telling jacqui it's a, quote: tricky situation. here you have arguably the two biggest stars of the democrat party, barack and michelle obama taking the stage to stump for harris' candidacy. harris is still part of the biden administration as vice president. so they tried to, i suppose, have it both ways. but, her absence was definitely noticed. >> ainsley: the obama's close friend george clooney helped with the ousting of joe biden. so, he, i'm sure, was not happy about that. he wasn't ready to step down. said he wasn't going to do it. >> steve: right.

>> ainsley: nancy pelosi got involved. >> steve: she opened the window. somebody pushed him out. thank you, griff. >> griff: that's what we will be watching. pelosi takes the stage tonight. will we see harris in attendance. guys? >> steve: great point. thank you, sir. >> brian: you know what happens what's interesting george cleany the actor, right? >> steve: yes. >> brian: guess who benefits? kamala harris joe biden going that's my woman. and barack obama goes that's my woman. okay. you guys fight it out i will benefit. whatever foundation bynes has left in terms of support and obama is popular democrat. campaigning 20 years ago. they have a history. joe biden was the running mate of barack obama. he said it was the best move he ever made; however, we also know he said and not deny don't ever underestimate to f things up.

that stays in the back of his mind. michelle didn't mention the bidens at all. >> lawrence: not one time. >> steve: wonder, we will get your point of view in main. given the fact that, you know, there are these stories that have sir could i lated that michelle obama was very good friends with hunter biden's ex-wife and did not like the way that joe and jill apparently treated her. i bet that if joe biden were the nominee, barack obama would have spoken last night. but michelle obs obama would no. unless it were to simply endorse kamala harris, lawrence. >> lawrence: i think you are probably right. reporting extensive on that. she thinks the bidens are weird, too, the way they operated with brother sleeping with brother's wives and the way they treated kathleen. i have to give some credit to the former president.

obviously i owe him a lot when i was 14 getting him inspired in politics. cadence still very well. steve great. >> lawrence: he knows how to motivate the right crowd, strike the right tone get independents and some of the republicans that voted for him in the past to come back home. the problem is i'm not 14 anymore. and although he may have some of the cadence that is still there and inspirational speech, when it comes down to getting to the culprit of who is responsible for the bad economy, although he acknowledges the pain, he doesn't say joe biden is responsible for it. he doesn't say his party's world view has harmed a lot of americans. >> the second thing is although the obamas are very good on the stump, it also highlights that kamala harris does not have that and so she is going to be forced, when she finally does take the stage, on thursday, to have some type of glowing speech. and when you have all these people that are telling us that she is the next obama, well,

damn, she is going to have to deliver on thursday. i'm not sure she is going to be able to. >> brian: that's why bill clinton is going to come on tonight. is he a shadow of what he once was. have a little bit of a gap to forget how good barack obama was. ains i agree perspective michelle obama took the stage very powerful speaker. she told some beautiful reenactments about her mom's life and kamala's life. and what they put into raising their children, losing her mom, first time back in chicago since her mom's passing. as a woman i can relate to that i just lost my mom not too long ago, too. so yes, very powerful. i didn't hear anything about the issues that we care about as americans. why are grocery prices so expensive? why is our border open? and that's when voters are going to the polls, that's what they're thinking about, not, you know, we are sorry that she lost her mom and her powerful stories. how are they going to help me

and how are they going to benefit me? no visions and no solutions. did you notice -- and we are about to play some soundbites that president obama kept saying -- remember when he ran on hope and change. he couldn't say that kamala harris is going to change because she is already in office and has been for the last almost four years. but he did talk about hope. listen to this. answered slammed donald trump a lot. >> feel in this arena but spreading all across this country. we love a familiar feeling that's been buried too deep for far too long. you know what i'm talking about. it's the contagious power of hope. the anticipation, the, in the exhilaration of once again being on the cusp of a brighter day.

hope is making a comeback. [cheers] for years, donald trump did everything in his power to try make people fear us. >> and, in this new economy, we need a president who actually cares about the millions of people, all across this country, who wake up every single day to do the essential, often thankless work. we need a president who will stand up for their right, to bargain for better wages, and working conditions. and kamala will that be president. >> yes, she can. i heard someone compare trump to the neighbor who keeps running his leaf blower outside your window every minute of every day now from, a neighbor that's exhausting.

from a president, it's just dangerous. >> steve: there is no doubt that the obamas electrified the delegates with the one-two punch. the takedowns of trump and talking about how this really is an selection over the fight of the existence and essence of america. you know, they really liked -- they loved former president obama, but they really, really loved her. and the ultimately what the question is is you can tell that they are trying to essentially bestow their movement upon kamala harris. the big question is, after thursday night, will she be able to pick up the obama baton and then run with it? because people are expecting a big show after last night, lawrence. >> lawrence: yeah. i think that also the obamas are very smart and they were baiting

the former president. and if i'm the campaign, and i'm the former president, i don't take the bait. because, number one, as much as democrats want it to be so, the obamas aren't going to be on the ballot. and so i wouldn't get in the back and forth with them. he has to talk about the issues that matter to voters. and as crafty as the obamas were, last night in their speech, they didn't talk about fixing any of the problems for the american people. and they know joe biden is responsible for it. but they can't say that and that's where the speeches fell short. and so if i'm the trump administration, i'm talking about four years ago, look at the economy. four years ago, look at the border. four years ago, although they wanted to say that he was someone that you couldn't trust with a nuclear codes, there were no awardswars no, ukraine war gn with russia. there was nothing about hamas attacking israel. there was strength on the world

stage. and he has to focus on that. >> brian: basically barack obama called him selfish and michelle obama called him racist because doesn't want him in the oval office. people like us in the oval office. and i thought it was the most learned moment is 12 of the last 16 years a democrat has been in the white house. most of the time, a lot of time they had both the senate and the house. so if you are not happy with the divided america, if you are not happy with the way things are going in america, you got to first grab a mirror and say what you are going to be doing different. sooner or later although there is one debate, kamala harris has to do it. nuclear codes, front page on the "new york times" today. president biden approved a secret nuclear strategy refocusing on china. that happened under his watch, china, russia, iran, and north korea have formed an alliance and now we have to come up with a strategy against it. that didn't happen with the billionaire from new york city. >> ainsley: two things. i think that the democrats were smart. michelle and barack obama talked about how you need to get --

don't just complain, get out, take your church, take your neighborhood, take your community and go out and vote. i thought that was smart. and donald trump, he was interviewed, and he made it about the issues. and he was also on truth social last night making it about the issues. and he was complementary of the obamas, just criticizing how they handle search issues. listen to this. this was on cnn. >> i like him. i think he is a nice gentleman. but he was very, very weak on trade. if you take a look at what happened to our country trade-wise it was a disaster. take a look at japan, take look at china, take a look at some of these countries what they did. i happen to like him. i respect him and i respect his wife. >> steve: i respect him, i like hsm. he did a bad job. we have been talking over the last couple of days how many times they bring up donald trump, and obviously just like last time, it's all about trump. last night, at day two of the

dnc, major speakers mentioned him 34 times. only six times on the economy. the border four times. inflation one time, actually i'm surprised they even mentioned it once. they didn't mention crime. not one single time, amongst the major speakers. >> ainsley: that doesn't include all of the speakers, some are saying they mentioned trump more than 100 times. >> brian: possibly the most impactful thing happened yesterday away from the spotlight,away from the stage. that is when r.f.k. jr.'s running mate nicole shanahan married a rich by and extremely rich herself says she is considering making a move. and they got to decide quickly. if they are going to stay in the race. and who they are going to endorse. listen. >> it's bobby's decision. i came into this supporting him wholeheartedly to win this election. i have to say there is only one party that has obstructed fair -- a fair election for us. and, unfortunately, it was the democratic party.

they have done everything they can including creating pacs to prevent us from being able to have ballot access. >> brian: he is indicating she might go for donald trump because she is so angry -- i couldn't support kamala harris. >> ainsley: kept them off the ballot. >> steve: they are considering doing that or forming a new party. the worry is amongst shanahan and kennedy, that apparently harris may win because r.f.k. jr. draws more voters from trump, and so if they get out, then the people will go to trump rather than. >> ainsley: draws more. >> brian: look at those numbers. >> lawrence: stunning. >> ainsley: draws more voters from trump or biden, right? >> brian: 41% of kennedy voters said they would back trump steve these are swing states. >> brian: 27% of kennedy voters said they would vote for harris. first you thought a democrat break from the democratic party would hurt democrats.

he has so many orthodox untraditional views joe rogan crowd says rights now if i had to vote probably vote for him. still up in the air but that's who he would vote for that could be the difference in all these states. jill stein made a difference in the states. she got 1% in wink. that was the difference. >> steve: ralph nader back in the day. look at ross perot 20%. that's why bill clinton wound up president. >> lawrence: yeah, those voters, it looks like the people voting for r.f.k. want something new and something fresh. it's kind of like the people i spoke to in the barber shops yesterday. they were fired up about some of the issues facing the country, and they had some thoughts that may surprise you, watch. >> everything you're hearing from the democrats are already things that they failed at over 30 years. >> blacks are struggling more than any other demographic. we got the highest prison rate. highest high school dropout rate. highest murder rate. what's in it for us? >> basically, most of us, i

believe we voted democrat because that's what we was brought up to do, you know. did you go to the poll, they say vote democrat. vote democrat. but i don't really see no change that they say that they're doing. i think it's just, to me, a whole bunch of crap, to be honest. >> lawrence: definitely a shot across the bough when it comes to the democrats. this is supposed to be a core constituency. they also give republicans some advise, if you want to win their vote, this is how you do it. >> steve: indeed. >> there was a statistic out yesterday it looked at voters under the age of 50 and over the age of 50. i believe it was in the african-american community. the number almost doubled for the younger african-americans that are voting with the republican party. so, generation after generation it's changing because just like that man said, a lot of us voted based on how our parents, how we were raised or our grandparents. >> steve: getting to the point where we don't want to be taken for granted anymore. come on. you got my vote. how about doing something for us. >> brian: come to our city and

fence yourself in to protect yourself from us. >> lawrence: incredible. >> brian: tell us how great everything is. if it's so great why can't we walk around without a security guard? why do these stores have to board themselves up rather than appreciate the economic boom that could be coming their way. >> ainsley: why are we worried about you going to chicago, lawrence. we see them burning the american flag in front of the consulate. scary times. >> brian: crime is going counsel. they keep saying crime is going down. >> ainsley: violent crime is not. >> brian: what was y conversatin with yesterday with pete buttigieg. crime is going down. nobody believes that. >> lawrence: i don't care how smooth you are as a politician you can't deny reality day-to-day basis. overall point, can you say everything is great and that you do care about the people, listen, ainsley was talking about my security. we are blessed enough to have security. we have great team that surrounds us. people here are protected. and people in chicago know one thing because they get murders

every single day in this city. five people murdered over the weekend. only reason why secret service and the calgary and national guard stand by. one reason, to protect the people in chicago. >> steve: more from his interview at the barber shops coming up in a moment. first, former president barack obama flattered his best friend at the dnc. >> i am proud to call him my president, but i am even prouder to call him my friend. >> brian: yeah, try to call him now. i don't know if he is going to pick up. it comes after reportedly forced joe biden to leave his job. is the party as unified as it seems? >> ainsley: we're going to ask democratic pollster mark penn ♪ can we still be friends ♪ can we still be friends ♪

are not on the good list at the white house because mr. obama for the most part, is the one who shoved joe out of the window. well, look, i think act actuall, think the nominee is not supposed to be in the convention hall. the nominee should really build suspense up until the big speech. so, i'm surprised actually they held a counter rally at the same time. i wouldn't advise that either. there is already a message event going on. so i wouldn't read anything into that one. >> steve: well, she did show up for a couple minutes on the first night, did a, you know, a little talk and that was about it. one of the main wraps right now is the fact that she is running as the democratic nominee, presumptive nominee. actually, she got it last night with that dance party roll call. but, we really don't know what

she stands for. and, in fact, when you look at a number of the big headlines right now, like the hill has an op-ed. harris is trying to run a no substance campaign. does she believe in anything? the "new york times." harris' campaign heavy on buzz. hold the details campaign. mark, as we get started with the balance of the campaign, starting on friday, can she get away with not say what she stands for? >> well, look, i think every presidential campaign should have three debates. should have policy papers. should see the press every two or three days, that's the way campaigns were when i ran and the press would go crazy if that wasn't the case. look, if you go on the harris website, it's really quite funny, there is nothing there but donate. so, yes. presidential campaigns need substance. these are incredibly important decision, we need voters who are informed about where everybody

stands, including her. >> steve: um-huh. our white house correspondent, who used to live upstairs at my house, crossed trails with governor gavin newsom last night. this was their topic. listen to that. >> so far, we have not heard a ton of specifics from democrats about vice president harris' evidence hiewtion on the issues over time. isn't that a problem? >> are you shocked? are you shocked at a convention you are not hearing a lot of the specifics? >> peter: it's been a month since shy took over. >> one of the most transitions in modern american history. it's a transition that will evolve over the next few months. she will have plenty of time to map out more nuances and detail. i think that will begin on thursday night. >> steve: mark penn, i remember back in the day nancy pelosi said we will have to pass obama care to see what is in it. are going to have to elect kamala harris to see what she stands for? >> well, that's going to be up to the voters to decide. and it's going to be up to the harris campaign, too.

look, when i worked with president clinton, our convention speech was jam-packed with issues. last night you didn't hear about iran. you didn't hear about russia, you didn't hear about israel. you heard a little bit about inflation. you didn't hear about crime. -- what you heard was really great speeches. you heard a lot of applause. you know, a really good night everall. but was it about the hard issues that the americans are really interested in and want to know for the presidency? no. we will see what happens thursday night. is she going to address it? it doesn't look like it. she hasn't done any interviews. i think that this is -- looks like more of a hope and change campaign, even though the administration is a continuation of the previous administration. and so far it's working. so, they are going to keep going with what is work nothing matter what the criticism is. >> steve: there you go. mark, thank you very much for joining us on this wednesday. >> thank you.

>> brian: bigger question is, do you think that kamala harris will come out and say four years ago, yes, 8 years ago for sure. i am for sanctuary cities, i am for giving illegal immigrants free healthcare, free room, free board, no one brings that up anymore. and when mayor adams said he had a problem with a democrat, they stopped speaking to him. they won't even give him a speaking slot at the dnc. will she run on that? and when asked directly are you for that? what will see say? >> well, brian to your point about them not speaking to adam. remember he is the co-chair of the campaign they kicked him off. he was no longer the co-chair after that. i don't think she addresses it the all. >> brian: trump will make her. >> lawrence: she hasn't been in a place yet where she has to address it. it will be different once the debate happens because she is going to have to come face-to-face. i'm sorry the rewriting of history and to say she wasn't the border czar when everybody knows that she was, i don't think that's going to go too well with voters.

>> ainsley: lawrence we said we know your story you said you worked for obama. you tried help get him elected. you grew up in a democratic household. now you're an independent, and you are willing to vote for either party, depending who is going to help you the most. but you said yesterday, or the day before, you said she wants to take away everything. she wants to take away your healthcare. or your health insurance, your energy, she wants to take away our cars with gas, our guns, our border, our taxes, our grocery money, inflation is almost 20% now. so, excellent job with that you are right. when we go to the beauty shop or the barbershop, lots of conversations. >> brian: i don't think he calls it a beauty shop. >> ainsley: the women do. >> brian: he does not call a beauty shop. >> ainsley: a salon. >> lawrence: it's something different. >> ainsley: the real health of the economy in question as economists estimate a million jobs could vanish in the jobs report revisions.

inflation rate among the major economies. 14.5 million new jobs. >> we are se see steady and stae growth we have been talking about for some time. that's what we are seeing that's what the job numbers showed last week. >> ainsley: joining us now is co-host of "the big money show" on fox business brian brenberg. brian, what are we expecting today. >> brian: here is what happens, every month they estimate how many jobs we get. those are estimates. you probably notice each month you get a little revision to the previous month's number. now this right now you are going to get an entire revision to the last year's numbers. and that could mean we overstated our jobs by a million because the survey, the estimates were wrong. the problem is, politicians. >> ainsley: we really estimated them four times. >> and happens almost every month. but the point is, americans are always saying i don't feel as good as these jobs numbers are telling us, or the politicians are telling us.

and there's a reason for that your gut is probably right. the numbers we're getting month after month, are not quite right. even though the politicians want to tell you they are right. >> ainsley: how will this effect the reserve? how will it effect interest rates? >> that's the problem, the federal reserve says we look at the data to determine how to change interest rates, they are saying the data may have been way off. the economy might not be quite as strong as we thought. if this revision is like a negative 1 million, that might mean the federal reserve has to cut interest rates more and earlier than they thought. so you could see interest rates come down faster if, in fact, the jobs picture is weaker than we thought it was. >> some economists at goldman sachs expect a million. >> half a million to a million, yeah. >> ainsley: get those numbers at 10:00. barack obama was on stage at the dnc yesterday he is touting that same number that they continuously spout out. 15 million jobs that they have

created. you laugh, you said it's the stupidest statistic ever. listen to what barack obama said. >> at a time when our economy was reeling, we needed a leader with the determination to drive what would become the world's strongest recovery. 450 million jobs. 50 million jobs. higher wages. >> they shut down the economy. millions of jobs immediately shut down and then, you know, the powers that be let us go back to work again and they count those jobs as job gains under biden. it's absolutely ridiculous. it is a flat out lie. they tell it repeatedly. and they use it as like this part of their platform, you know, when they are fact-checking the economy, they use this number, stop it. barack obama knows better. biden knows better. harris knows better. everybody knows better. >> brian: thank you, brian. >> brian: that's what i meant by

stupid. >> ainsley: you can watch brian today "the big money show," it is on -- it's during the weekday at 1:00 on fox business. thank you, great to see you, brian. >> brian: great to see you, ainsley. >> ainsley: don't move because j.d. vance is going to join "fox & friends" live. ♪ bounce back fast from heartburn with tums gummy bites, and love food back.
