Our military is the best its ever been. Its 2. 5 trillion worth of new beautiful jets and equipment. Millions of people are looking systemic solution we have to make sure this radical left doesnt happen. We just need leadership. Thats joe. This elections sit most important election in the history of our country. You know were going to cowboy, detroit steve live from new york city, you are looking at the new york harbor and that is the statue of liberty, lady liberty or as joe biden said last night lady, lady, lady on night two of the dnc. Welcome to fox friends for this wednesday morning. It is august 19th, and it is great to have you. As you can see we are all scattered out here on the mezzanine level, good morning to you ainsley and brian. Ainsley good morning to you, steve. Yes, two down and two more to go. Tonight you will hear from pelosi and hear from Hillary Rodham clinton. You will hear from obama and Kamala Harris. Brian. Brian yeah. Bill clinton spoke last night despite the fact that pictures are emerging from Jeffrey Epsteins plane unbelievably awkward if you ask me. Its now official joe biden is now the democratic nominee for president. Biden accepting the nomination in a classroom after roll call on the second night of the dnc. Steve which was actually quite cool. Jill biden struck a different tone during her address for obvious reasons. Ainsley thats where she taught in that very classroom. Griff jenkins is live in wilmington, delaware. Slams biden during his trip to the border. Griff . Good morning, ainsley, brian, and steve. Steve, you are right that virtual call was pretty cool it ranged from a beach to the American Samoa to a plate of calamari in rhode island. It surprised for more than 30 years. Now his wife congratulating him and speaking from a high school here last night making the case for her husband. Watch. I know that if we entrust this nation to joe, he will do for your family what he did for ours, bring us together and make us whole. Absent from her remarks though were the attacks on President Trump. That job last night fell to former president bill clinton who did so from chappaqua. At a time like this the oval office should be a command center. Instead its a storm center. There is only chaos. This one thing never changes, his determination to deny responsibility and shift the blame. The Buck Never Stops there. Many wondered of what alexandria ocasiocortez would do with her limited time slot and we should note that cortez was not born yet in 1988 when joe biden ran for president the first time. She didnt even mention bidens name in her remarks. Rather, she nominated Bernie Sanders. Instead meanwhile President Trump hit the campaign trail from Battle Ground state of arizona blasting his opponent on immigration. Watch. Bidens plan is the most radical, extreme, reckless, dangerous and deadly immigration plan ever put forward by a major Party Candidate. It must be defeated and it will be defeated on november 3rd. It will be defeated. [cheers] so here we go for night three of the dnc. A lot of democrat star power let us show you former president barack obama. The Vice President nominee Kamala Harris. Speaker nancy pelosi, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and senator Elizabeth Warren just to name a few. We shall see what we get. Brian, ainsley, steve . Brian all right. Thanks so much, griff. One of the biggest stories has to be aoc coming out and endorsing Bernie Sanders in a minute where she looked like a moss damage video. Looks like there is an agenda trying to get out with Bernie Sanders leading off day one and aoc with her hell to one minute speech endorsing Bernard Sanders right after. The theory is and hard to push it down, once joe biden is elected this party is going flying left. And when things like that happen and you see someone like aoc with the social media rock star she is basically saying everything bad about the country, where she wants to take it and what Bernie Sanders could do for it, bad combination. Meanwhile john kerry, former secretary of state, you know what he has been doing, rumored to be doing, Walking Around europe and the middle east saying dont worry, iran. Dont worry, europe, we will have donald trump out soon and well go back to business as usual. He pointed out his success as secretary of state and as if its the good old days. Lets listen to his view. For the eight years of the obamabiden administration, we led by example. We eliminated the threat of iran with a nuclear weapon. We built a 68nation coalition to destroy isis. We forged 195 nation agreement to attack Climate Change. We stopped ebola before it became pandemic. Donald trump inherited a growing economy and a more Peaceful World and like Everything Else he inherited he bankrupted it. When this president goes overseas, it isnt a Goodwill Mission its a blooper reel. Brian in his view no doubt about it when it comes to the iran deal 10 years get a nuclear weapon. United sunni world against it. Allow israel to reaffirm thinks place with israel has never been stronger in the middle east. The ebola virus and the pandemic given to us by china one thing has nothing to do with the other and it comes to the president s Foreign Policy. Nato has more money and more troops in eastern europe. Also, he has been the toughest on china to date. And its hard to really imagine things going better with mexico and central and south america than it is right now. Steve well,when you look at the fact that it is a virtual pandemic convention. Its a convention without convention you wondered how it was received by the United States of america. We did get the ratings for day one the ratings fell off the cliff. Broadcast networks down 42 . Keep in mind it was broadcast on 10 different tv networks and only 18. 7 percent rather, 18. 7 Million People watched. That would be about 5 of the country. The big question is how many people will be watching tonight. I know somebody who was watching last night is the fox news analyst and host of one nation on fox nation lawrence jones. Lawrence, good morning to you. Good morning, family, how are you all do you go . Steve we are doing okay. Last night on night two no real theme other than Donald Trumps a bad guy. Joe biden is great. But it was long on pain and short on hope. And if you are asking somebody to vote for somebody, you better have a hopeful vision for america. Where is it . Yeah. Good question. I mean, first to start off buy found it to be incredibly boring. You know, i understand we are in a different time frame. I hope the republicans are taking notes. I dont know if i could take another week of Something Like this even as a political junky. I dont know how the rest of the country could even take it. But, to your point, i think the democrats are in a pickle because they are having a problem finding what their why is. Why are you guys doing this . When president obama ran, it was hope and change. When donald trump ran, it was to drain the swamp. It seems to me that the message from the democrats is lets return to the old days. And i find that to be very problematic, to bring Collin Powell on the stage. To say bring bill clinton and john kerry. Do americans want the same foreclosure policy . Do they want the same Economic Policy . I think its going to be very problematic to get those voters that says byebye to the democrats to go back to the other side with the message that is nothing different, really. Ainsley you know, so, when i was watching last night, jill biden she pulls at your heart strings talking about the death of her son and the all they went through being a widower prior to meeting her and how they met sweet story. When you look at their policies. When you hear one person saying we are pushing progressive stories and another one saying no, we are moderate. Where does the Democratic Party stand. Im going to show to you with soundbites. One is President Trump at the border in uma, arizona last night talking about how bernie is the boss of biden and then we plotted that together with what bernie is saying about, hey, just get us in. Get us in washington. Well be inside that trojan horse and the progressives will jump out. Watch these two contrasting interviews. Joe biden is the puppet of the radical Leftwing Movement that i guess his new boss is Bernie Sanders. Cacan you believe this . Our job is the day after biden is elected is to mobilize our people in the fight for progressive agenda. If we can elect biden, if we can turn the u. S. Senate democrat, if we can retain democratic control in the house, there is a path open for us to really bring about transformative change in this country. So my question for you is who is joe biden . Is he progressive or is he being run by these is he progressive or moderate like he always had been but does he have to change to fit the narrative of the progressives . Well, he is what the base decides he has to be. What do you know by that . For two years i spent on College Campus warning america that these young people want generational change. They want transformational change. They want what they want. Okay . And then for the next year i spent traveling around the country talking to these progressive voters what they want. They want transformative change. And bernie is the grandfather of this movement while people are laughing at bernie and aoc, they were bringing new people into the fold. They just won two congressional seats taking people who have been into office over 20 years. So now you have a nominee that doesnt really have the support of the base. So what bernie is saying is lets get this guy in and then we will work behind the scenes to make sure he is the most progressive president. The problem is this a lot of the people dont agreei even though bernie is the leader of this, grandfather of this movement, they really arent buying. This they said look we have held our nose to vote for these guys for a long time. We dont feel like they are going to do what they say they are going to do. This is going to come down to can bernie, can aoc get on the ground, which is kind of hard in the middle of a pandemic and convince their supporters that they can really be the puppet masters . Brian lawrence, its fascinating balls if they dont use their power now they might not have it or they already consolidated and they are ready to throw it on the world. Something about the internal polls reveal that the American People dont want the bernie and aoc agenda on a mask level. Thats why joe biden was catapulted up to be the nominee having done terribly in the debate and terribly in the previous primaries leading up to South Carolina. Thats why she is given such a limited role and thats why Bernie Sanders says vote for him now but things are going to change day one after he is elected. Why are they so embarrassed by the left wing agenda that seems to be fueling interest in their party . They gave her one minute. I think its pretty hard to convince these progressive voters when you put all of these establishment figures on the stage last night. Not on just establishment, you know, democrats but republicans as well. I mean, no disrespect to the late john mccain. Brian Collin Powell. If you want to convince progressive voters that this is going to be some new policy dont show a video of john mccain. Dont put john kerry on the stage. Dont put Collin Powell. Brian bill clinton. All Great American heroes. Again, are you really trying to go back to the old days . That doesnt sound quite progressive. They will find this very problematic. I felt like they disrespected aoc. Brian no question. Even though they dont like her, she has the base of support. Brian not enough spackle in the world to go over that division no doubt about it. Lawrence, thanks so much. No problem. Brian meanwhile, we have a fox news alert now. A manhunt underway in portland for the person caught on camera brutally attacking a truck driver. Overnight police declaring a riot after several fires were set downtown including inside a government building. Todd piro joins us live as the citys mayor finally condemns the violence. Todd . Todd steve, anxiously and brian, good morning. The search is on for the man who viciously attack ad truck driver in downtown portland. Police have made several attempts to contact march keefe love with no success. Urging love to turn himself. In they believe he is the man seen here kicking the driver in the head knocking him unconscious. Witnesses tell fox news they believe the driver was attempting to help a transgender woman when the crowd turned on him. Portland police now begging for other witnesses to come forward. Meantime, senator Lindsey Graham pushing for a federal investigation tweeting the following, quote i would urge the department of justice to actively pursue prosecution of the perpetrators of this who are risk attack. The assault comes after more than 80 days of unrest in portland. Mayor ted wheeler responding to the chaos saying, quote i denounce all violence including the assaults that were filmed and posted to social media. Family members have set up a go fund me for the truck driver attack in that viral video. They have raised more than 95,000 so far. Brian, back to you. Brian all right. Thanks. Meanwhile next guest weighing in on the violence in a new oped. Law and order at the center of this election. What are democrats plans . Here is former acting ice director tom homan. Are you surprised they didnt even address this . No. You look at the democratic ticket of harris and biden, they are not even talking about it. They havent offered up any solutions they are putting on the table to discuss. This is a huge issue in this country. Cities in america are burning. Police officers are being assaulted. Buildings being burned. Saw the video of the man being beaten. They are not talking about it. They dont want to push the left. The left that has planned this anarchy across the country tribune, they want their votes. They are putting their election hopes ahead of the safety and security of america. I find that disgusting. Brian no question they want to talk about Racial Equity in this country but its being overwhelmed by this antifa presence. Lets look at this marquise love. He is the guy they are hunting for right now. His nickname is keith love. He actually worked for a Security Firm and he was seen that body armor that he might have had from that Security Firm. He is out there knocking people out when theyre not looking with 8 or 9 people gathered around him. What is that type of behavior tell you about whats been going on for the last three months in portland . Again, i put it right at the feet of the democratic leadership. Nancy pelosi doesnt talk about it. Chuck schumer doesnt talk about it. I truly believe they want chaos in this country come november whether its violence in the cities or slowly opening cities or not reopening the cities out of covid. They want chaos in the cities because they think it helps their election. They pivot to Defund Police reimagine police the very person supposed to protects that man defund them and reimagine them. Its upside down whats going on in this country. Democratic leadership is ignoring it. Brian it is. Lets just finish this up. Our detectives continue to investigate this assault as well as other acts of violence directed towards protesters. We need more than just video from social media in order to hold people responsible. We need people to provide information. Issue plots and fingting people. What else do you need besides video peoples faces . We have other jobs. These cops have been defamed. Demoralized. Many are retiring. They came a half hour later after one person called in when this guy was flat out unconscious when they got to him on the street. Do you know the mindset of the Portland Police . Look, i started my Law Enforcement career as a cop. We can fix this easy, brian. Let the cops let the police do their job. Let them do the job they are trained for. They joined the police force because they want to serve the community. Let them do it. Dont we fund them or reimagine them. Dont take their equipment away. Dont vilify them. Let them do their job. They are the finest 1 this country has. Let them be coming and protect our communities. Thats why they are there this is an easy fix. A democratic leadership and people like the portland mayor, you know, too little, too late, now you Say Something after you have a videotape of a man being beaten. Totoo little, too late. Brian governor is upset but is he powerless. At Chicago Police retiring at double the rate. 335 have retired since the end of july can you blame them. 475 retired last year. 339 the year before. Because they have been vilified while murders, homicides are raging. Its hard to believe this is happening in america. But where is the Republican Party where are they saying we have a urban plan for america . They dont
