Jillian we are hours away from his trip to North Carolina where the rnc gets underway. Fox friends first continues right now. Todd a very good morning to you. You are watching Fox Friends First on this monday morning. Im todd piro. Jillian im jillian mele as always. Thank you for starting your day with us. Lets get to this, the gulf coast bracing for back to back storms. Tropical storm marco closing in on louisiana overnight. Todd meantime, Tropical Storm laura bringing deadly flooding to the caribbean. It is expected to hit the u. S. Later this week. Jillian Caroline Shibley is live in new orleans where marco could make landfall in hours. Caroline. Reporter good morning, todd and jillian. Louisiana governor John Bell Edwards describes it this way, the state could be looking at a right hook from marco, a left hook from laura. Marco has lost a bit of steam but we are in danger of the storm hitting us a few hours from now. Laura just seems to be getting stronger, 11 are dead in haiti and the dominican republic, laura hit cuba very hard, forecast to gain strength as it goes over the bathtub warm waters along the gulf. To prepare here, the National Guard in louisiana is laying sandbags that weigh tons, doing anything they can to block the storm surge. Residents are doing everything they can to prepare for the double storm. We dont know what to expect, you know, i mean, is it going to be a catastrophe or just a lot of rain . It seems to be moving pretty quickly. Its not that strong, so hoping its a rain event, power stays on. Reporter thats what theyre hoping for marco. Laura we probably wont be that lucky. The governor saying we may have 12 hours to maneuver in between the two storms. Todd and jillian, back to you. Jillian caroline, thank you very much. Now lets go to senior meteorologist janice dean, shes tracking the path of both of these storms. Janice. 5 00 a. M. Advisories are in, marco weakened a little bit more which is good news. We dont think its going to regain hurricane strength. Still looking at the potential for heavy rainfall, storm surge and even tornado as the storm moves inland. And the timeline now is late this afternoon into this evening and theres a chance that the storm actually hugs the coast of louisiana towards texas tuesday and wednesday. So were going to have to watch that but the bottom line with this storm is it is weakening, we dont think its going to become a hurricane again but you want to take all the precautions. Laura, this one has the potential to strengthen quite a bit in the next couple of days, borderline category 3 major hurricane as it gets into the gulf of mexico with marco we had a lot of upper level wind sheer kind of carrying the storm apart. With laura, this is going to move into very favorable conditions, extraordinarily warm temperatures along the gulf coast and the winds are going to relax a little bit. So it is going to have the chance to strengthen as it moves inland between the border of louisiana and texas. Lauras the one that were really concerned with. Of course marco will bring the potential for heavy rain and storm surge and tornadoes but laura is the one well be really nervous about potentially a very dangerous hurricane as we go through the next couple days. But man, quite historic seeing both of these storms moving into the gulf coast over the next couple of days. Rob and todd and jillian, back to you. Jillian and scary if you live in that area. Janice, thank you very much. Of course. Todd we continue with this fox news alert, Kelley Ann Conway leaving the white house to focus on her family. She announced she will step down by the end of the month. Her husband will also leave his position at the lincoln project. In a statement, Kellyanne Conway said she is, quote, deeply grateful to the president adding for now and for my beloved children it will be less drama, more mama. Jillian in just hours, President Trump heading to charlotte, North Carolina to kick off the Republican National convention. Todd the president sharing what we can expect in an exclusive fox news interview as protesters demonstrate his arrival for the Third Straight night. Jillian gri jenkins Griff Jenkins has more. Reporter good morning. Im at the melon auditorium, considered an rnc hub for this weeks unconventional convention. Were a few blocks from the white house but all the action is in charlotte where things will kick off. In milwaukee, there were few delegates in person. You will see 300 delegates in charlotte taking a roll call. The overall theme is the Great American story. Todays theme is the promise of the the land of promise. The featured speakers are the president s son, donald trump junior, former ambassador to the un, nikki haley, senator tim scott, congressman matt gates, congressman jim jordan and rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel. President trump and Vice President pence will travel to charlotte today to be on hand ahead of the kickoff, the president previewed the week with our own steve hilton. I think were going to see something that is going to be very uplifting and positive, thats what id like it to be. I think you have to defend yourself by talking about some of the lies, like when he says social security, i dont think he knows too much about social security. Reporter and the president says that Top Priorities in another term would include 10 million new jobs, a vaccine for the coronavirus by the end of 2020, bringing back manufacturing jobs from china, cutting Prescription Drug prices and defending and fully funding law enforcement. The one thing well see in charlotte that was not in milwaukee, Protesters Police having to deal with civil unrest over the weekend with some arrests being made. Meanwhile, joe biden in his first interview since officially becoming the nominee, sounding off on his Mental Fitness and whether he would consider a second term. Watch. Mr. President , watch me. Look at us both. I think its a legitimate question to ask anybody over 70 of years old whether or not theyre fit and ready. Youre leaving open the possibility youll serve eight years if elected. Absolutely. Reporter it will be an exciting day. I had an opportunity to travel with Vice President pence today down to charlotte, spend the day in the life with the Vice President , see what its like for him to go to the Rnc Convention down there and interview him, talk all about whats coming up, well bring it to you tomorrow. Todd were looking forward to that. Have fun today. Jillian senator tim scott who made headlines leading Republicans Police reform efforts, says theres a lot he plans to say and a lot the democrats failed to address. Ill focus on growth, hope and opportunity. Last years Democratic Convention, you were left shaking their head, what do they believe in, what do they want, other than defunding the police, medicare for all, raising taxes, we have no clue what a 7 trilln ask. Were going to focus on growth. The Trump Administration precovid19 created 7 million jobs and they did it in an inclusive way, the lowest Unemployment Rate on record for africanamericans, hispanics, asians, 70 year low for women. If President Trump is reelected, and he will be, we can expect more growth, hope. Jillian democrats blocked senator scotts Police Reform bill. He said he is optimistic the two sides can still strike a deal. Todd yet another fox news alert on a busy monday morning, three Maryland Police officers shot during an ambush attack are expected to survive. The officers responding to a Home Invasion were fired at within seconds of arriving. They were hit in the chest, arm and leg. The police chief crediting the bulletproof vests for saving at least one of them. Lieutenant randy sutton joined us earlier to weigh in.

Todd police arresting the two suspects who were not injured. Jillian also breaking overnight, chaos in wisconsin after a black man is shot by police. Officers firing tear gas as fiery protests flood the streets. Todd Carley Shimkus live for us as tensions between police and communities hitting an alltime high. Reporter a state of emergency declared overnight after protests erupt in wisconsin after a black man is shot by police officers. People seen jumping on cop cars and smashing windows, several trucks also set on fire in the middle of the street. It comes as this video is shared hundreds of times on social media. Officers following jacob black as he approaches his car. When black opens his door, he is shot several times in the back. Witnesses say black was trying to break up a fight when officers were called to the scene. His three sons were inside that car. Black is in serious condition. The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers tweeted about the incident, saying in part we stand with all those who have and continue to demand justice, equality and accountability for black lives in our country. This comes just one day after police shot and killed a man at a Convenience Store parking lot in louisiana. Officers say the man was trying to enter the store with a knife when they opened fire. Louisiana state police are investigating the incident. In portland, police declaring a riot for a second straight night after protesters aimed fireworks at officers near a police precinct. Also throwing bottles and other objects. And in denver, leaders vowing to hold rioters accountable after protesters broke windows and set fire to Police Headquarters over the weekend. I want these anarchists to hear me clearly and loudly, that this will not be tolerated in our city. You are not welcome here. If you choose to come back to denver, colorado, you will be met with every tool in our disposal from law and policy that we can use to stop you. Reporter a total of 12 people were arrested during those protests. Todd, jillian. Jillian carley, thank you. Todd time now, 11 minutes after the hour. President trump touting a coronavirus plasma treatment. Jillian how significant is it . We ask dr. Jeanette nesheiwat, next. The open road is open again. And wherever youre headed, Choice Hotels is there. Book direct at choicehotels. Com. This is a powerful therapy that transfuses very, very strong antibodies from the blood of recovered patients to help treat patients battling a current infection, its had an incredible rate of success. Todays action will dramatically expand access to this treatment. Todd President Trump announcing emergency authorization for the use of plasma from recovered coronavirus patients to treat current ones. Jillian what does that mean in the nations fight . Joining us now, dr. Jeanette nesheiwat. Great to see you. What does it mean, how significant it is . There are a lot of critical voices out there, citing lack of clinical trials. What do you say . This is extremely significant. Jillian, being a Healthcare Provider on the front lines, taking care of Covid Patients this past six, seven months, ive seen firsthand the significant progress that we have made. Weve got remdesivir, weve got steroids, weve got the convalescent plasma. It allows for expanded use, allows for more funding, more Data Collection and ultimately it means more lives saved. What they found was the use of this convalescent plasma, it reduces the mortality by about 35 . So we have better survival rates with patients who are hospitalized under the age of 80 and are not on a ventilator, so really significant numbers and ultimately its another tool in our of defense against this virus to keep patients alive until we have a vaccine on the market. Todd are there any side effects that concern you . Absolutely. With anything in medicine in life you can have potential side effects. You can have an you allergic reaction, you can have an overload in the boy d on the heart overlode in th over, in the heart and the lungs. They found the benefits so far with the data we have outweighs the risks. Its definitely something we need to continue to monitor, continue to collect more data. So far, the benefits outweigh the risks which is why it received fda emergency use authorization at this time. Jillian we know that more than 70,000 covid19 patients have received convalescent plasma treatment. At what point do you get this . Do you get this once youre already diagnosed with covid, once youre sick, when you start getting symptoms . At what point in the process. What happens, jillian, they take the plasma from someone who is known to have coronavirus, who developed high antibodies, high titers. They take that blood from a recovered coronavirus patient and infuse it into those who are ill, who are sick. Usually you have to wait about two weeks. It takes two weeks for the antibodies to form and to develop and so far it looks to be very promising. Todd before we let you go, want to get your thoughts on this, joe biden had an interview over the weekend with abc and he was asked what he would do if covid and the flu hit us hard thithis winter. Heres what he had to say. If youre sworn in in january and we have the coronavirus and the flu combining which many scientists have said is a real possibility, would you be prepared to shut this country down again. I would shut it down. I would listen to the scientists. I would be prepared to do whatever it takes to save lives. Todd is a one size fits all strategy for all 50 states at the same time the proper approach . Well, no. If you have an outbreak in call california and youre at 1 Positivity Rate in new york, it doesnt make sense. Youll cause more harm than good. What you do is get your flu shot, when we approach flu season, get your flu shot and as far as shutdowns it should be a specific targeted approach, where theres an outbreak, we need to tackle that area, put our resources in that area and make sure we engage in mitigation practices, make sure you wear your mask, practice physical distancing, keep your hands washed and clean and hopefully well have a vaccine not just for the flu but for the coronavirus. Todd we appreciate your time an insight. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Jillian it is 19 minutes after the hour.

In most of new york restaurants have reopened both inside and outside to serve their customers but mayor bill de blasio says theres no timetable to make it happen in the city. Indoor dining, theres not a plan right now. Theres not a context for Indoor Dining. Were never saying its impossible but we do not, based on what weve seen around the world, do not have a plan for reopening Indoor Dining in the near term. Jillian there are thousands of Restaurant Owners waiting in limbo. Executive director of city Hospitality Alliance, andrew revits joins us now. Thank you for being here. We appreciate it. Thank you. Jillian how difficult has it been to try and get some kind of answers . Its been extremely challenging. I mean, these are Small Business owners, our local restaurant and bar owners, theyve been financially devastated. They see restaurants outside of new york city have been operating for weeks, if not months now, and they have no idea when Indoor Dining will return at 50 reduced occupancy, mind you and even then its going to be incredibly difficult. They have no plan. Jillian lets take a look at this, at least 1300 restaurants have closed between march and july in new york city. I mean, it is devastating to so many owners who this is their live liehood. And livelihood. Were at the end of august right now. We have fall quickly approaching, so Outdoor Dining, while a lot of restaurants are doing that, some dont have the space to do that. With fall approaching, you worry about the weather. Listen, Outdoor Dining has been great for many restaurants. The reality is, theres more than 25,000 eating and drinking establishments in the city of new york. You have 10,000 of those participating in Outdoor Dining. So what about all the ones that arent even participating in Outdoor Dining . Its extremely challenging. Theres about 200,000 restaurant workers that are still out of work since back in march. So something needs to be done. So what were saying is if youre not even going to let us open up tomorrow, then guess what, you need to give us a plan so Small Business owners can plan for their future. They dont know if they try to continue to exhaust their own personal savings to keep their restaurant afloat or do they just throw the keys back to their landlord and say im not going to be able to do this because i dont know when im going to be able to reopen again. Jillian how do you think this has been handled overall . Its an incredibly challenging situation. The reality is, theres been some good things, theres been some poor things. Right now, what we need is an answer of when can we expect Indoor Dining to come back and what weve seen happen now is some Small Business owners have had enough and it looks like theyre going to go into court and theyre going to challenge this because restaurants throughout the rest of the state have been able to open up for a long time now while restaurants in the city have met, sustained and exceeded ough all the Health Metrics that restaurants in the rest of the state have met that have allowed them to open up. Not only do they feel like were under intense financial pressure, but they feel like the law is not being applied equitably to them just because their business is in new york city. You can go to Westchester County in new york, eating indoors, walk 100 yards into the bronx and new york city and guess what, youre not allowed to eat indoors. Same thing with long island and queens. They dont feel like the system right now makes sense and they need leadership, some guidance and a plan to give them some hope that maybe their business will be able to come back along with all those people they employ. Jillian okay. Andrew, keep us updated. Thank you for joining us. Will do. Thank you. Todd 26 minutes after the hour. Back to back Tropical Storms threatening millions in the u. S.

The window of time within which we may be able to operate and maneuver between the two storms may be as little as two hours. Jillian louisianas governor warning his state as the gulf coast braces for back to back storms. Tropical storms laura and marco forcing evacuations across louisiana ahead of marcos expected landfall today. Laura slamming the caribbean with strong winds and flooding leaving at least 11 people dead in haiti and the dominican republic. Janice dean is here tracking the storms. Looks like marco will be pregame before laura. Laura is going to be a very big threat wednesday through friday for louisiana and texas. But marco is going to move inland we think later on this afternoon into this evening, 60mileanhour sustained wind, Tropical Storm, we dont think its going to regain hurricane status which is good news but were still going to see the impacts of storm surge as well as Severe Weather and heavy rainfall, 2 to 4 inches of heavy rain along the path of the storm. Watch what happens as we involve laura a later this week. Louisiana, one, two punch here right now. We are going to have to watch the track of laura, the exact track, intensity and the timing of the storm is still yet to be determined but what i will say is the warm water of the gulf ahead of laura could really strengthen the storm, potentially could become our first major hurricane of the season as it moves towards the texas, louisiana coastline later this week. Todd, back to you, my friend. Todd i just called you jillian. We are on a roll today. Jd, thank you. All right. In just hours, postmaster general louis dejoy will testify before the House Oversight committee on changes to the u. S. Postal service, this all comes after House Democrats passed a 25 billion bill to address a so ofcalled crisis at the usps which the white house is vowing to veto. Has nothing to do with voting. It has everything to do with the political statement. The postmaster general said he was willing to pay whatever overtime was needed to make sure that we deliver the mail on time, first class mail which includes mailin ballots. It was not an issue three weeks ago. Todd joining me to weigh in, congressman ralph norman. Thank you for being here. First, lets talk money. The president tweeting over the weekend about the 25 billion, calling it, quote, unneeded dollars. Do you agree . Todd, you know, absolutely i agree. The 25 billion which by the way was 69 days left works out to around 325 million per day, its unallocated money. Why now . Thats what needs to be asked. Why theyre doing this now. We havent worked since march 15th. We worked very little over 31 days. And this is just a ploy by the democrats. Mark meadows tried to work something out with nancy pelosi. This is all about theater, its a disgrace. The fact that were having the hearing today with postmaster general dejoy is like i use this analogy, its like announcing the score of a Football Game and then playing the game after the fact. Its a disgrace and its just what this radical Democrat Party is about. Todd congressman, there has been complaints about mail delivery and republican, democrats, and independent and all types of towns and cities across the country. What do you tell your constituents when they write your office, your complaint line, and say im not getting my mail . Well, the Postal Service has been in the red for a long time. And its something you need reform. What you dont need now is throwing money at something that theres no reform in this. They knew it wasnt going anywhere and what i tell my constituents who are having mail thats been delayed, were going to work on the problem but Nancy Pelosis in charge of when we meet, how we meet, and they just not only are they not showing up to work, watch the hearing today, very few of them will be there. Theyre teleconferencing from their boat and other places. Were going to need to do reforms but we had so many opportunities, so many, to work on this up to now. They have it orchestrated out where they will try to make the narrative that the president is to blame and its just not. Todd the fbi leadership under fire again this morning, do you agree he with your fellow south carolinian, i believe thats what you call him, lindsey graham, that the fbi had a double standard when it came to the Clinton Campaign and trump campaign, specifically about briefing them on foreign interference. It really is, todd. The democrats have a lot to answer for. One, why are they this late in getting all this information. Why is the double standard about informing the Clinton Campaign about a foreign entity giving her money and having time to correct it, and not doing the same for the president , that has to be answered. Who put the stop on the fisa warrant for the Clinton Campaign yet orchestrated four Counter Intelligence warrants against this president and absolutely its assault and battery. Todd quickly, last topic here. This just came down, jeff flake from arizona, republican, joining two dozen gop members of congress to launch republicans for biden. Your response . My response is this. Hes never been a republican. He does a hatch job on being a consistenconservative and beinga republican. He ought to go and switch to the Democrat Socialist Party like hes always been. Thats no big news. Thats more of the same and its like john kasich speaking at the convention, he does a disservice. Go ahead and switch parties if you want what the democrats offer, switch and become a card carrying member of the socialist Democrat Party which he should do. Todd you mentioned kasich. We were able to show the crossroads video again which is still odd every time i see it. Congressman ralph norman we appreciate your time and insight. Thank you very much. My pleasure. Todd jillian, over to you. Jillian help arrives in the fight against raging wildfires burning more than 1 million acres across california.

Challenging the president , tiktok is set to file a lawsuit over the Trump Administrations threat to ban the app. Todd Cheryl Casone from our Sister Network fox business joins us live. Tiktok have lawyered up. The Popular Video app, and its Parents Company bytedance are going to file a lawsuit today against President Trump, theyll be challenging the executive orders to restrict the companys activities in the united states. In a statement the company says this. In the past year the company sought to engage with the u. S. Government with the sincere attitude and provide solutions to their concerns. However, the u. S. Government ignored the facts, not followed due process of law. The president has made it very clear, he sees tiktok as a Security Threat to americans. He imposed a september 15th deadline for that company to sell its u. S. Operations of tiktok to an american company, currently microsoft is the lead bidder in all of this. Theres been other names floated around. Tiktok has a billion users worldwide, very popular. The question is, is it a danger to the security of americans . Todd its going to be some battle. Another weapon in the fight against covid. This is interesting. The epa is set to announce today that American Airlines is going to be able to use a new surface coating on its aircraft that kills coronaviruses for up to seven days, it kills the virus within two hours on surfaces. Theres only a catch here that american can only use it on their planes that originates flights out of texas. The epa directive gives the state of texas the ability to use this coating.

Todd seemingly trying to unite a fractured party, former president obama says joe biden and democratic socialist Bernie Sanders arent that different. Jillian Carley Shimkus here with social medias reaction. Good morning. Expect this to be a big topic of conversation today as both sides weigh in. The former president made the comment during a new yorker interview, saying if you look at joe bidens goals and Bernie Sanders goals, theyre not that different from a 40,000foot level. He went on to say that sanders and biden want everyone to have access to healthcare, a living wage and good education. He suggested that biden may have moved to the left on some key issues. So will his comments help or hurt his former Vice President . Social media now weighing in. Charlie on twitter says that obama is just saying whatever it takes for biden to get elected. Jeff, though, says so much for being a moderate candidate. Now, obama certainly trying to portray biden as something that both progressives and moderates can get excited about. You know that President Trump is going to take those comments and run with them, guys. Jillian you guys know how theres that unwritten, unspoken language amongst jeep drivers where they do that wave. I wonder if first graders are going to be doing that. To be determined on that front, definitely, gil jillian. Two first grade teachers in florida turn desks into little jeeps to make going back to school more fun and less intimidating. The teachers were given sneeze guards to put around kids desks. They said it could freak kids out. Theyre just first graders, their first day of school, like real kids school. They said what if we turned the sneeze guards into wind shields and made construction paper tires and a license plate and had a little meeting with students before School Started and they gave them keys to their individual trucks so they could pretend like theyre driving a jeep and this idea has inspired other teachers around the country to do the same thing. I think its so cute. Jillian i think they should start and end the day with the wave. Exactly. Why not. You do a little the trucker honk, honk. Jillian love it. Thanks, carley. Its about nine minutes until the top of the hour. She went from serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug crime to speaking at the rnc.

Todd he has advocated for reform. Slated to speak at the Republican National convention. Alice joins us with a preview. First off, how excited are you to speak at the rnc . Im still pinching myself to have a stage to be able to speak to the american people, this is beyond one of the greatest honors that i have received. Jillian you know, im curious how in the last two years sings you have been out and been able to get back to your life and reconnect with your family and your friends, how much your life has changed and what you want the nation to know about yourself and about your story. Well, i want them to know that my story is not really unique there are so many others who are still in prison, who are depending on us to have to see them as human beings, as people. The way that the president saw me. Todd alice, what is the theme of your speech . The team of my speech is really the forgotten one. The president made a promise that he was going to be he was going to listen to the voiceless. He was going to remember those who had been forgotten. And he is really living up to that promise. He has done incredible things incredible justice reform. I really want the nation to hear my story and remember those who have been forgotten. Jillian did you ever think even five or 10 years ago that this is where you would be right now in 2020 . Absolutely not. I wanted to just go home to my children and grandchildren and migrate grand children. Five years ago i didnt have great grand children. I just wanted to reunite with my family. But, to much is given much is required. I received a huge blessing. And there is no way that i can forget my sisters, my family, my prison family. Because after i was over two decades in prison, they became my family. So so its like forgetting your family . How could i forget them . I made them a promise i would never stop fighting for them. Its been my mission to do just that. Todd along those lines, 3100 inmates have been released under President Trumps First Step Act. There it is on the screen right there. In light of the civil unrest over so many issues including criminal justice reform. What do you want to get across about this president s record on the subject that . That he did something historic. That not only did he bring he brought sentencing reform, something that from the time i walked into prison that was the thing i heard every year laws are going to change. I never saw it happen while i was a prisoner. Then when i come out of prison, the president sees my case. He has compassion upon me, and he said put sentencing reform into the First Step Act. So this has given other families that experience that i have of being reunited with my family and really thats what this is all about. Is that we have to remember these are our fellow americans. They are going to one day, most of them are going to one day return back into society and we want to make sure that they are set up for success. So the First Step Act not only addresses sentencing reform, but those who rehabilitation to make sure that when they come home that they are prepared to be a success. And not be another statistic. So this is really groundbreaking. And im so happy for it. Jillian we have about 15 seconds left. I know the work is not done. What else needs tobleg done from here on out . Well, the first step has been passed, now we need to start working on the next step. We cant rest on that because it can always be there is no work to be done as you said. So we really need to get in there and make come together as a nation to make more reform. Jillian absolutely.
