>> any minute thought gerald kushner will take off on the first ever public official flight from tel aviv toable buo. >> historic flight more historic journey. ♪ jump right. in let the music pull you in ♪ jump right in ♪ steve: yep, we're going to jump right in. it is monday morning 6:00 state up a by coastal edition of "fox & friends" for this monday august 31st. it is the last day of august, labor day is a week away from today. it actually feels a little like fall today. it's currently 64 degrees. brian and i are here on the east coast in new york city. and on the west coast out in seattle we have emily with us. emily, good morning. emily: good morning to you both. a pleasure as always to be filling in for ainsley and a great morning here from seattle. brian: all right. so emily is going to be great to have you all throughout the show. there is so much to talk about today especially the fact that the election is finally heating up. i thought we would have to wait until after labor day. police firing tear gas and smoke bombs to break up protests. how many times have we started a show like that all intensifying outlines of the white house. it happened overnight. [chanting] if we don't get no justice. >> then you don't get no sleep. steve: protesters lighting fireworks while marching through residential neighborhoods of washington, d.c. shining lights in windows it has been reported, emily. emily: our griff jenkins is live in washington after a whole weekend of unrest. good morning, griff. >> good morning, emily, brian and steve. protests grew violent over the weekend. this video check it out from overnight showing protesters marching through residential areas trying to wake people up. [shouting] out of your homes and into the streets. will out of your homes and into the streets. griff: that was a few hours ago on saturday night m ptiond says five officers were hurt. five individuals were arrested. meanwhile out where you are, emily, in portland, more violence and arrests following the shooting death of a man over the weekend as mayor ted wheeler blaming president trump. >> mr. president, why this is the first time in decades that america has seen this level of violence? it's you. who have created the hate and the division. griff: but president trump punching back tweeting while all people want law and order the radical left democratic mayors like the dummy running portland or the guy in his basement unwilling to lead or even speak out against crime, will never be able to do it. this as the president heads to kenosha tomorrow where things were calmer overnight. yet black lives matter and blue lives matter rallying yesterday most of it remaining peaceful. police say at least 175 people have been arrested sings the unrest began there. 104 of those from outside of this city. now, wisconsin's governor, tony evers wants the president to reconsider his trip saying i am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. i'm concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward. but white house deputy press secretary judd deere yesterday said the president is looking forward to his trip to kenosha and humble outrage. brian: thank you so much, griff. the wisconsin governor says to the president of the united states we don't need to you come here. that's great. i'm sure is he going to welcome the democrat joe biden the next day because is he supposed to come up on wednesday. what i would love to see the president do as he goes out to traveling this week after going to new hampshire over the weekend. guys, i would love to see the president also talk about police reform. because there are things that even the police want to see done. they want to see academy lengthed deescalation tactics. things could be done and financing necessary to get additional training in order to get through situations like this that have nothing to do with them but judging them by how they are acting in these riots. so, if you can combine them both, it could actually get sides to come together. so when the president of the united states sees that joe biden is leaving space tweeted this out when is slow joe biden going to criticize the agitators and thugs in antifa. when is he going to suggest bringing up the northward and nd in badly run democrat states. remember he can't wi lose the cy bernie sanders vote. they acknowledge that the riots were taking place. steve: during their dnc. absolutely right, brian. that's what gave the republicans the opportunities during the rnc to absolutely blast the democrats. why aren't you condemning the violence? and now suddenly joe biden is condemning the violence. and, of course, they are trying to blame donald trump. they say he is fanning the flames of hate and division. but, here's what is an interesting thing is so joe biden today somewhere in southwest pennsylvania, nobody knows where exactly, is he going to give a speech about kenosha. why isn't he giving the speech in kenosha? well, the president of the united states is going to go to kenosha tomorrow. we know for sure it. sounded like joe biden was going to go today but if you think the optics joe biden probably didn't want the comparison where there have you got donald trump who is trying to reach out to the family and meet with the family in kenosha tomorrow and also standing with law enforcement and essentially they don't want joe biden simply to be standing without any law enforcement. so they are going to give a speech somewhere in southwest pennsylvania about kenosha but not kenosha. it's strange. [laughter] steve: anyway, they did put out, also, keep in mind, this happened in the last 24 hours they decided to go to somewhere because it wasn't until a couple days ago and it is suggested that they looked at the swing state polling that joe biden said, you know what? we have got to get out of basement because suddenly donald trump is catching up. anyway, they announced they would go out after labor day. here is the statement on returning to the campaign trail on monday, august 31st, joe biden will travel to southwestern pennsylvania to lay out a question voters face in the election are you safe in donald trump's america? and, emily, so, what the trump people are saying is, look, the only place in america that are problems are in democrat led states and cities that will not take up his offer for the national guard to come in and quell the violence. emily: that's exactly right, steve. i think a lot of it is difficult for that campaign to defend in the fails of statistics, the highest unemployment rates and highest poverty rates. those are all taking place in these sanctuary cities in these democratic led cities. and the bottom line as well is that which is it? because the campaign is coming out and being a bit hypocritical if they are saying in donald trump led america, this is where all the violence is happening. then they are saying that we need to acknowledge that we need police reform and criminal justice reform all of these entrenched things gone on for decades that need addressing. which is it, right? they are sort of speaking out of both sides of their mouth. our own chris wallace pressed kate bedingfield on the quote follow science and win under the circumstances election from home. he pointed out the hypocrisy and the fact that they have changed and made a marked change in their campaign decision to now go out. take a listen. >> he said a week ago that he could win the election from home. he was asked that he said we will. we will follow the science. now he is going to go on a big campaign trail. >> that just disingenuous, chris. he said we will win by following the science. that's what we did from the outset and we will do. hold socially distance events. see him travel in battle ground states. people across this country have been sharing sacrifice. we, as a campaign, have also chosen to behave responsibly. you don't see that from the trump campaign. you certainly didn't see it last week on the south lawn of the white house. steve: brian? emily: brian, tell me if if she is talking about behaving responsibly why is it only now that biden is choosing to condemn violence from all sides? he could have furthered that message from his basement. they are side of-stepping that and also saying it's because of behaving responsibly that they decided to now, only now emerge from the basement in stark contrast to what they were saying earlier. >> emily, i totally agree, the numbers show they are losing when it comes to law and order. and if you want to call the president a dictator, you can on the other side of your mouth say why isn't he cracking down on violence against the wishes of the democratic mayor and the democratic governor in oregon? the democratic governor and the democratic mayor in wisconsin, you can't ask him to step on them at the same time say he is a brutal dictator. you can't have it both ways. when he gets up every day and says i'm here to help, and when he actually helped over in portland, they had a huge problem with that. meanwhile, this is going to be interesting, because now joe biden has to come out because of the success of the rnc, chris criminals city says, now because the president was effective in outlining what he is going to do 'puts pressure on joe biden to say what he is going to do. when he says one thing he is going to tick off the other half of the party unless he agrees with the other half of the party which of course means he went way, way left which is right up the president's alley what he has been saying all along. now is what the governor says changes after the convention. >> i encourage joe biden to get out. get out of the basement in wilmington. i think if he does that, one of two things is going to happen. either the left wing of his party is going to revolt because joe biden is not saying medicare for all. joe biden is not talking about green new deal. or, the center of his party, independents are going to be very concerned because joe biden is going to have shifted even further left, than he has shifted already. there is an opportunities here for the president to make joe biden go out and speak. and, believe me, if that's what he's going to do over the next 65 days, this race is going to get closer every day. brian: especially if he has to answer questions. for example, he is already on the record free healthcare, universal college. how are you concerned minimum wage is going to double. there goes your books and budget especially in the pandemic. free college is a great idea unless of course you work at college and you need that tuition. you want to write a check? who is writing that check for college to pay for that tuition, steve. here is what michael moore posted believe it or not the president liked it on facebook post. he is scared to death the president is going to win again the biden campaign just announced he will be visiting a number of states. but not michigan. does that sound familiar? i'm warning you almost 10 weeks in advance the enthusiasm level for the 60 million in trump's base is off the charts. joe? not so much. don't leave it to the democrats to get rid of trump. you have to get rid of trump. and trump came back michael knows. steve. steve: indeed. ultimately what has happened there is all sorts of polls out. was there a bounce? what happened? it does appear that since the rnc people are giving the president better grades on what he has done with the coronavirus pandemic. joe had wanted to essentially mimic the hillary clinton strategy from last time which was to keep her away from reporters and essentially to keep her in the basement although i don't even know if she has a basement in the house in chappaqua. that was the idea then. and joe had wanted to be hammering the president over the pandemic but given the fact that it looks as if the momentum has changed. suddenly he has got to join donald trump on donald trump's turf, emily, which is law enforcement, law and order, and the violence in the streets. and that, he feels, is he winning combination when it comes to security moms out in the suburbs who are the ones who can help reelect donald trump, emily. emily: that's exactly right, steve. earlier on "fox & friends first," joe concha, the hill media reporter spoke how trump has all the momentum exactly what you are saying, steve. take a listen. >> joe biden has done two press conferences in 150 days. you just oppose this with president trump or kayleigh mcenany who do two press conferences a day on most days including weekends. three weeks after you get the nomination out of your convention, you are not talking to the people? you are not talking to the media? you risk being defined by your opponent and that's exactly what's happening right now. joe biden was up by 7 points not even two months ago. so that's where we are at in the state of the race. joe biden doesn't have any momentum. president trump has all the momentum because he is out there speaking to people while the other side is playing not to lose. emily: joe concha there talking about failing to seize the moment and also mentioned the regret that hillary clinton expressed after the 2016 election where she said she failed to acknowledge the huge part that media played. he pointed out joe biden has only given two press conferences in 150 days in stark contrast to the almost president's daily briefings sometimes more. that next chapter leading up to the election. our own jillian mele coming in for some headlines. good morning, jillian. jillian: that's right. good morning. we begin with a fox news alert. a st. louis police officer shot in the head after responding to a call has died. 29-year-old tha29 that mayorhisr saying quote he is a hero to many but most importantly to his loving wife and three incredible children. a second officer who was shot is out of the hospital. the suspect is in custody. louisiana governor says some people impacted why hurricane laura can start applying for fema aid. at least 14 people were killed by the devastating storm. governor john bel edwards warning it would be a, quote: long and difficult road to restoring power. more than 300,000 homes and businesses are still in the dark. more than 17,000 linemen from at least 29 states are working on repairs. the u.s. nearing 6 million cases of covid-19 this morning. more than 183,000 americans have died. this as the new cdc reports says 94% of people who died from the virus had underlying conditions that includes heart disease, diabetes and respiratory issues. the cdc basing the report on data from death certificates. racial justifiable front and center during the mtv video music awards. the weekend addressing recent protests during his acceptance speech for best r and b video. >> really hard for me to celebrate right now and enjoy this moment. so i'm just going to say justifiable for jacob blake and justifiable for breonna taylor. >> performers facing backlash for not having to quarantine after arriving in new york. governor andrew cuomo waving a 14 day isolation. the show honoring late actor chadwick boseman after his death from colon cancer. >> we take the time to talk about the devastating loss of chad boseman an actor whose talent and passion true inspiration to all the fans he touched and everyone he encountered. >> share airing encore 2018 acceptance speech for best hero in a movie in black panther. he was 43 years old. guys, so many photos of him circulating online of him visiting kids with cancer and nobody knew he was battling this for years. brian: just 43. nobody knew this happened. emily: he made it about the kids. brian: check in later. as we forge ahead on this show director of national intelligence john ratcliffe decision to scale back election briefings with congress. >> we have had a pandemic of information being leaked out of the intelligence community and i'm going to take the measures to mike sure that that stops. brian: wow, our next guest says raradcliff made the right move y putting his foot down. we'll explain ♪ ♪ was that your grandfather, leading armies to battle?

>> yes. and i mean schiff is someone who whose credibility has already been impiewnsd by really the impeachment fiasco. you know, the whistleblower did technically follow protocol in going to schiff's office. schiff probably violated some sort of law in the way that he began to leak out that information to the media. so this is not someone unimpeachable credibility claiming his office isn't the one doing all of the leaks. steve: sure. we should point out the way washington works is, you know, a member of congress, any of the members of congress can say i didn't leak that. and they would be accurate. i didn't do it. but what you don't know is they told their behal chief of staffr communication director i'm authorizing to you leak this information. and that happens 1 zillion times per day in washington. >> yes. exactly. we saw this again with the whole christine blasey ford fiasco she did not elect to go public but somehow that letter went from he is shoe's office to diana feinstein and went public. >> steve: steve let's see what happens. >> mr. rot cliff has reported these leaks to the fbi and see if anything comes from it. tiana lowe from "the washington examiner." thanks for getting up so early this monday morning. >> thanks for having me. steve: you got it. looters have destroyed businesses across the country. one owner defends them because them a sense of freedom. those comments sparking outrage. we will talk about that next as you look live at the southern tip of new york city. that's the freedom tower. ♪ ♪ apps are used everywhere... except work. why is that?

they are donating to their community that's what matters to them and them have you that amplified is that being circulated amongst the people so the real messaging isn't getting out there that people want to support their community and foster ownership? >> absolutely being amplified. a lot of what we are seeing with the unrest going on in the streets right now in these conversations, this is from basically voices that would have been completely fringe of 10 years ago that are being amplified by social media. it's the only most fringe voices on the left that are amplified and all of a sudden having somebody writing a book looting is great and doing interviews with npr and being spoken about right now on national television. so you have with the amplification of kind of that fringe stuff it, really really helps. it does not hurt of the people in these communities. guy back to minneapolis again. minneapolis jewels had riots back in 1967, right? and when i spoke to people on the ground. they said that they were just now getting back will will will will will businesses destroy it. you really think what is the end goal of people who are actually out there amplifying the message that this sort of looting and rioting is a good thing. will. emily: oh, just that lasting ramification of decades. rob space smith thank you for joining us as always. >> thank you. emily: moving on to historic moment in the middle east. jared kushner taking off in the first commercial flight between israel and the uae. newt gingrich on what this means for peace talks in the region next. stay with us. ♪ get ready ♪ get ready ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ the open road is open again. and wherever you're headed, choice hotels is there. book direct at choicehotels.com. ♪ oh yeah, you going to place it?

>> look, this explains part of the never trump movement because president trump had gone to this extraordinary break through by doing exactly the opposite of what the american foreign policy establishment had been failing at for 30 years. when i was speaker, we passed a bill to move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. israel is the only country in the world who did not allow to name their own capital. and every single year presidents, democrat and republican, would wave the bill and refuse to do it. trump came in and he understood the key point, which is if you show you're tough, in a neighborhood that's very tough, if you prove to the saudis and the uae and others that you will stand up with them as allies against iran, suddenly things become possible that were impossible under the appeasement process that had dominated both parties i give jared kushner enormous credit. the first trip they took was to reodd where the king of saudi arabia 54 countries, largest newsom gathering ever to meet with the president. the president spent three full days there constantly escorted by the king, learning, talking, opening things up. all of this was done in very close alliance with israel. and i think you are going to see two or three more countries recognize israel maybe even before the end of this year. great achievement. jared kushner has every right to be his role at the direction of his father-in-law he has taken the lead on this now for almost four years. we should look at this as the beginning -- if it turns out to truly be the beginning, you start to seba rain or kuwait or sudan or even saudi arabia, you just changed the whole region. steve: surely. they changed it today with that first flight from israel to the united arab emirates that those u.s. officials were on board. speaking of u.s. officials, newt. after the rnc on thursday night. after the big fireworks show and everybody said that's it go home and have a nice night. a number of prominent republicans were harassed and threatened as they left the event. in particular, rand paul was on our show on friday and he said if the police weren't there, he thought that they would have killed him. and he said there were a filibuster of death threats. and, you know, that was his point of view. he said there should be an investigation by the department of justice into who those people are because he felt they were being paid. they were from out of town. they had clean clothes. they were being financed. ken buck, a congressman from colorado this out. the department of justice needs to open an investigation into who is funding these violent riots. so, newt, you know, it's one thing to stand and yell at somebody and yell inappropriate words, dirty words, cusswords, stuff like that. that's one thing. but to make death threats which rand paul said he and his wife received. a death threat against a federal officer is a felony. so should there be a doj investigation? >> sure. but it goes beyond that in kenosha, they just arrested three out of state vehicles when they frankly trailed them and found them at a gas station filling up containers with gasoline and they opened up the vehicles and they had all sorts of combat equipment and they had clearly come for of the purpose of bringing violence to kenosha. look, i am very hard line on this. i'm a historian. i lived through the violence of the 1960s when we had 2500 bombings in this country. the only way you break this is you just keep arresting people until there is no one left. and i think they need to take every video they can. they need to ask people to send us whatever video you might have taken, they need to track these people down. they need to charge them with the highest possible crime. and the reasonable is simple. you have to break the fever by which these people on the left, antifa and others, have come to believe that they have the right, as they just did in portland where they killed a trump supporter and by the way almost none of the news media were willing to say this was a trump supporter killed by somebody on the left. i watched the mayor last night, mayor wheeler and frankly it was so pathetic for 45 minutes he said 94 days of violence. and his answer to it was to plead with people to not be violent. brian: and blame trump. >> yeah. and to blame trump which by the way joe biden did. totally dishonest analysis. you know, the cities that are in big trouble are all left wing cities with left wing mayors, chicago, i mean, people are fleeing these cities. new york. st. louis. and i think you are going to see this continue. until we, in fact, stand up for civilization and say no, you don't have the right and by the way, assault is saying things which are a direct threat to a person. you don't have to attack them, that's battery. you can be guilty of assault and that's imprisonable offense. we shouldn't be surprised that there are predators. my next newsletter democrat as the lion king party they all behave as though there are no predators. all behave as though lions and zebras love each other. that's insanity. this is not ideological debate. group of people simply wrong about reality and as a result stores are being destroyed. businesses are being wind out. people are being damaged. because we don't have people willing to stand up for civilization. steve: all right. newt gingrich, joining us from rome, i believe, on this monday morning, sir, thank you very much. >> good to be with you. steve: about 14 minutes before the top of the hour. jillian joins us now with other headlines making news. jillian: that's right. good morning. let's begin with this. deadly drive by shooting happening after deadly weekend in chicago. one person killed and four others injured outside of a pancake house on sunday. victim was targeted.

>> i'm really not sure, brian, we are hopeful we want to get this governor to see our position and the threat to these kids are you just isn't that great. brian: we know that it's laziness on the part of a lot of these organizers who don't want to put the time in to go ahead and make the locker rooms coronavirus friendly and go ahead and talk to the team. we have already shown the discipline. so what is the rationale towards keeping the soccer team on the sideline, the football team on the sideline. volleyball and everything else? >> well, not really sure in the rationale on that. we have proven that we can do this safely. since early summer the kids have been practicing. they have been using safety protocols there has been no massive outbreaks. no widespread death. nothing like that. it's just ridiculous. but, in turn, the governor, our democrat governor, governor whitmer, some of the tactics she is using in policies that are in place just defy logic. we have cheerleaders that can do competitive cheer but they can't touch, they can't do stuntsz? and there is no football team to cheer for. that's no cheerleading. swimming with swim but they can't use indoor pools. that's not swimming. shutting down all sports. it's just not an attack on football. it's an attack on all of these sports. as parents, we are not going to put our risk at health. nobody cares more about my kids than i do. and for the governor to step in and start using heavy handed tactics under the guise of safety, it's ludicrous. we know the risk of this virus to kids is nonexistent. they can get sick, yes. the death rate isn't there and doesn't support. we are concerned about the mental health ramifications dropout rates, drug use, overdoses, suicides, those risks are far, far greater than this virus ever could pose. this governor tells us here in michigan when we can eat, where we can eat, when we can mourn, when we can worship. when we can work and now when kids can play sports. you know, this is not the land of the free. brian: she is doing a lot of work to make sure the big ten doesn't play keeping michigan out of it. here is what the michigan high school athletic association said in detroit says we have empathize with these players and understand their disappointment. we will continue to advocate for these student athletes. really? that's a big help. my sense is if you guys can keep this up, maybe can you break her. final thought? >> yeah. final thought is, yes, we have to. and these sports are not a partisan issue. this is not a democrat. this is not a republican. this is a kid's issue. the kids' health. at this rally what was ironic i tend to lean conservative. i had democratic parents walking up to us because we had no intention of making this a political issue. but we had parents coming up saying, you know, i voted blue my entire life and i am done. i'm walking away. brian: i hear you. >> i'm done with the democratic party. i think they are overplaying their hand on this one. brian: absolutely. i wish i could push back and make it a better segment but i just agree with you 150%. thanks so much. best of luck. i hope you are on here saying that you won the argument. mark hall, thanks so much. >> thanks for having us, brian. we appreciate it. brian: coming up later tom cotton and dan bongino. by researching new kinds of medicines that could help you live longer. including options that are chemo-free. because we're committed to bringing new hope into lung cancer care. you can adjust youriggest sacomfort on both sides...eep your sleep number setting.. because we're committed to bringing new hope can it help me fall asleep faster?

people are fed up with the limitations and these politicians having so much control over their lives. steve: unfortunately, there is politics in everything, particularly these days, because we are just, what, a couple of months away from the big election. and so that is why so many people are tuned in. i saw frank luntz tweeted out yesterday that the real clear politics betting odds are essentially right now as of the conclusion of the dnc and rnc, joe biden and donald trump are essentially tied in the battle ground states. and that is a headline. ainsley is off this week and in her place today we have got emily. emily, good morning. emily: good morning to you both from seattle. that's exactly right, steve, neck in neck. those are interesting betting odds. now, back to politics for a moment. the director of national intelligence john ratcliffe defending hills decision to scale back in person election security briefings. brian: ratcliffe blaming his former colleagues in congress for the change. mark meredith is live at the white house with the growing controversy. mark, it's because they can't keep a secret. >> well, that's what the director of national intelligence believes, guys. that's why he says going forward he plans to deliver those written statements instead of offering that in person testimony. >> we have had a pandemic of information being leaked out of the intelligence community and i'm going to take the measures to make sure that that stops. >> now, the decision to stop these in person election briefings created a huge uproar over the weekend with democrats accusing the white house of really trying to circumvents congress' oversight authority. >> when you can hide behind documents or withhold documents and not have to answer questions about it, it let's you conceal the truth. and in this case concealing the truth is concealing russians are again intervening to help the president in his re-election. snr. >> former vice president joe biden also taking a similar stance saying removing in person briefings is a ploy to help cover for a russian. president trump does not quote want the american people to note steps vladimir putin is taking to help trump get reelected or why putin is eager to intervene. now, ratcliffe is not dismissing russia at all. during his interview on fox yesterday he says russia does pose a threat but he says the greater daily threat that the u.s. is facing right now comes from china. emily, steve, and brian back to you guys. steve: mark meredith not far from the white house. thank you very much. let's bring in republican senator from the great state of arkansas tom cotton is a member of the senate intel community. >> good to be on with you all. steve: good to have you on this monday morning. as brian said there are certain members of congress across the rotunda in the house had can't keep a secret. the thing is, they are leaking national security intel which the leaking of that is a felony but so far, you know, nobody has really gotten in big trouble for it so why not? >> well, steve, this is just the democrats perpetuating yet another hoax. what director ratcliffe is saying is that we're going to continue with the model that we have used for more than 40 years since the creation of the intelligence committees. the members of the house and senate intelligence committee are going to continue to receive the kind of in person briefings we receive on every topic that is relevant to the intelligence community's work. what he is not going to continue, what he doesn't have to continue, what he did at the request of congressional leaders is in person briefings for all 535 members of congress. that obviously led to leaks of information over the last month. we cannot allow that to continue. members of congress who are not on the intelligence committee can go to our leaders and ask for written products from the intelligence community. but the members of the intelligence committees will continue to receive these in person briefings just like we always do. emily: senator, we would like to get your thoughts on one committee member in particular. the house intel committee chair that is adam schiff. now, he says he is not the one leaking. brian: case closed. emily: get your thoughts coming out of it. >> have you or any of your staff or other democrats on the committee leaked classified information? >> i haven't. my staff hasn't. i can't speak for what all the members of the committee have done or not done, including a lot of republican members. look, danna, leaks are always improper and sometimes they are illegal. but, of course, this is a falsehood yet again another lie by the president. emily: senator, your thoughts on adam schiff's comments? >> emily, there is a reason he earned the nickname shifty adam schiff. you will notice that he takes no responsibility for the members of his own committee. that's not exactly a hallmark of leadership. in fact, he went out of the way to distance himself from members of his committee and other democrats. and it's also well established if you just look at the pattern of leaks throughout the investigation into donald trump during the russian collusion hoax that adam schiff has frequently leaked information in the past. look, he is a member of the tightest circle of information, the leaders of the intelligence committees and the congressional leaders. he will get all the information he wants. this is yet again another hoax disibsd to distract from the democrats leaking of classified information and all the other things that they don't want the american people to be talking about like their crazy radical agenda for america. brian: so, senator cotton, the president of the united states hassism-is going to be going to wisconsin. i think he is going to be going tomorrow. and he is going to be going to kenosha where the shooting took place. and he has been asked by the democratic governor not to come. in fact, here is governor evers' letter to the president says i along with the other community leaders who have reached out are concerned about what your presence will mean for kenosha and our state. i'm concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. i'm concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together. so he doesn't want the president to come see what happened. >> look how feckless and overmatched tony evers is. he has created a no-go zone in his own state for the president of the united states. if we let democratic mayors and democratic governors continue to cede our streets to anarchists and especially if we will elect joe biden proliferate. if the doesn't think can go to kenosha what about normal citizens who are trying to go to work and school and church in the president, of course, is the president of all 50 states and he should go anywhere he wants to show that he is going to stand up for law and order and defend the safety of the american people. steve: senator, the republican chair of the g.o.p. party in the kenosha area said yesterday she is happy that the president is coming. and -- sees a double standard because apparently tony evers went to kenosha on thursday. and nobody said coming to kenosha was political. i think it might bring the morale of the people up, which would be a very good thing. but here's a question for you. why is today joe biden giving a speech about kenosha in pennsylvania? it sounded like he was going to go to kenosha today but changed his mind but then again 24 hours earlier he changed his mind about not campaigning in person until after the labor day holiday and then it suddenly is going to start -- he was going to be at home and then start campaigning. he was going to be in coach. what's going behind the scenes at the biden campaign? >> well, i think joe biden is panicked and overmatched by events as well. that he wasn't going to campaign until next week. he felt the need to come out and issue a mealy-mouth statement yesterday that didn't call for democratic mayors to allow their police to enforce the law or democratic governors to use the national guard where necessary. it simply called for a tough statement. that's the kind of feckless leadership you would get from joe biden as president. not enforcing the law. not using force where necessary to deter this kind of violence but simply words on paper. let's look at actions, guys. joe biden's own staff on his campaign contributed to the minnesota freedom fund. kamala harris encouraged her followers to contributed to the minnesota freedom fund. that fund offered bail to serial rapist, murderers and other violent criminals now back on the street because of joe biden and kamala harris' world view. that's the kind of world view that they would bring to the white house. that's why america would be unsafe under a president joe biden. brian: in fact, here is an excerpt from one of your op-eds that carnage -- it was joe biden's staff that contributed to as well to that fund. >> yeah,that's exactly right. can you see again what happened in kenosha. the shooting of violent criminal jacob cock blake happened last sunday. it was clear from social media and other reports that there would be unrest in the streets sunday night. and there was. and, yet, tony evers did nothing to deter it. he did very little on monday and tuesday to stop it. only once the national guard was called out in force was order restored on the streets of kenosha. these governors have to get off their laurels and they have to take the initiative to deter these radical left wing anarchists and insurrectionist. they don't do so i guess because they fear alienating a parted of their base or people in the streets burning down buildings and smashing cars and threatening innocent lives are democratic voters. but the time for this violence has to stop now. emily: senator tom cotton, thank you so much as always. >> thank you. emily: okay. now time for our headlines with jillian mele. hello, jillian. jillian: hello. good morning. that's right. let's begin with a fox news alert now. protesters in washington, d.c. marching through neighborhoods and setting off fireworks. >> out of your homes and into the streets. out of your homes and into the streets. out of your homes and into the streets. out of your home and -- jillian: the large group also seen shining lights into homes in hopes of waking residents up. this as protests near the white house intensified. police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the massive crowds. today steve bannon is due back in court. bannon and others appear by video because of covid-19 concerns. all four are accused of using money from donors to pay for personal expenses and luxury items. bannon has pleaded not guilty calling the charges a fiasco. spacex celebrating its newest successful launch. watch this. >> 3, 2, 1, 0. ignition. and lift off. jillian: the falcon 9 rocket carrying satellites to the north and south pole blasting into space overnight. first polar orbit watch in florida. caught people off guard. people were startled by a sonic boom. the noise is caused by the rocket's booster landing on the launch pad. winning the championship nun believable fashion. watch this. >> here this comes. here it -- watch out. jillian: oh, man. sinking a 66-foot putt to beat dustin johnson in a playoff. it was his longest of the season and second longest in the tournament's history. that was an impressive read. back to you. steve: but you know, jillian you could do that. you are a big golfer. i see you on instagram. jillian: can i do that. steve: amazing, terrific shot. thank you, ma'am. 7:14 exactly here in new york city. calls for peace growing in portland, oregon this morning after a man was murdered in a protest in the city. a marine who heard the gunshot from his house will join us live coming up next. hike! coming to the green flag, racing at daytona. they're off... in the kentucky derby. rory mcllroy is a two time champion at east lake. he scores! stanley cup champions. touchdown! only mahomes. expect anything different?

>> well, you know, over on saturday we had the trump rally that started in oregon and came through the downtown portland area. one thing that i would really like to note is kind of the timing of this whole thing. because every news outlet that you hear would have you think as it rally was going through portland that's when all this unrest occurred. and i'm sitting here watching about an hour after all the live streams went down, basically rally went off the air. about an hour later i hear a couple shots and and i'm sitting here and saying to myself well, i know that's not fireworks, i know what that sounds like, those are bullets. and immediately, i got a text from a friend of law enforcement who let me know that there was a shooting four blocks from my house. so, i got up. and i wanted to find out for myself what happened. because this is such a tragic event and a polarizing event for our city. and i walked down, spent about two hours talking to the news media and talking to the police and surveying the land escape. one of the things that i just came back with and i was appalled by is all of the people in the street celebrating. brian: celebrating his death? >> celebrating his death. specifically saying that there -- they are not sad that a fascist nazi was killed tonight. and we don't know this man is a fascist. we don't know this man is a nazi. what we're seeing is that ted wheeler and our city council, even our governor has created an atmosphere of lawlessness. and this is the result of it. and to pretend to be upset about something that you caused. brian: right. >> i hold the city and mayor responsible. thiman's death is on them. brian: no question. there is consistency. when you don't reign nun rest. there is going to be people that go out to push back because law enforcement didn't step. in we saw it kenosha and seeingg it portland. 90-plus days. this mayor is unpopular with the protesters, clueless on how to handle. this and now wants to deflect it to the president. which doesn't pass the laugh test. >> you are right. it doesn't. it doesn't. i think they are coming in, you know, 91 -- or 89 days too late. the day after these protests started. they should have got control of the streets. this was preventable. and, again, it's on them. brian: unbelievable. and it's just -- i wish it was just the portland story we could focus on but we can't. i mean, there is seattle, there is portland, there is chicago. now there is kenosha. over the weekend last time we saw it in d.c. we see it in rally, north carolina. we see it in oakland, california. so, unless police are allowed to do their thing, and at the same time, if there are racial issues to address, address it in a way that's going to make progress, not make it a venting session. gabriel, thanks for what you are doing and thanks for telling the true story. >> thank you. brian: all right. coming up straight ahead, a new centers for disease control reports that 94% of people that die from covid-19 in the u.s. had underlying conditions. dr. nicole saphier helps us understand what that really means. what happens now? now that the rent's due but they've cut your pay. now that the virus has cost lives but your healthcare costs too much. now that our president has had months but he still doesn't have a plan. what happens now? joe biden knows how to lead through a crisis because he's done it before. when our economy was on the verge of collapse, joe biden led the largest economic stimulus in a generation and saved millions of jobs. now joe biden is ready to lead us through this crisis. he knows rebuilding our economy starts with fighting the virus, increasing testing, getting more protective gear for healthcare workers and calling for mask mandates nationwide. as president, he'll get working families back on their feet by lowering healthcare costs and helping small businesses recover. so what happens now? we elect a president who will build back better. i'm joe biden and i approve this message.

>> right. well, steve, so something that i have been saying for a long time is we keep seeing a lot of positive cases. what's the clinical significance of those positive cases? right now the stark for detecting the virus is a nasal swab prc test that looks for genetic material. that genetic material in the nose doesn't equate to someone having enough virus to be contagious or having the infection themselves. what we need to do is we don't want to get away from test people. we need to change our mind set of you who we test people. that's why these rapid test are going to be crucial moving forward when it comes to testing for covid-19. because, yes, we cannot treat every person that is positive, meaning that they are going to be highly con teenage jus because the truth is, most people aren't infectious or contagious for that full 14 days. they may actually only be contagious for three to seven of those days. that's the time that we really want to make sure they are self-isolating. we need to get people back to work. we need to get people back to school. sometimes waiting for those long prc tests to go back to negative, may not be realistic and may not be necessary. so the trump administration just vowed to secure 150 million of the abbott rapid test. those rapid tests are a better chance at determining who is going to be contagious and not contagious. but we want to make sure that we are able to do those rapid tests and not just the symptomatic people but also asymptomatic people but we have to remember asymptomatic i can people can spread this viral infection. steve: there you go. the story behind the headlines once again. dr. saphier, we know so much more now about this thing than we did in march. it's great to have you stop by to try to explain what it all means. thank you very much. >> thank you, steve. steve: all right. come up on this monday morning, a st. louis police officer was shot and killed during a violent weekend for police nationwide. former new york city police department officer dan bongino on how we can end the violence coming up next. it's time for the biggest sale of the year on the sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help with snoring?

i think we can all agree, emily, brian and steve all growing up, played cops and robbers. we wanted to be the cop, right? noble wanted to be the robber. how did we get to the point where our education and system and political leaders and our culture has failed this country so deeply and profoundly that now there are people who actually want to be the robber? and the cops are somehow the bad guy? i mean, think about it. the worst moments of your life, right? if something god forbid were to happen. a crime committed against you. you are in a car accident. your child is missing. you are robbed. who is the first one there? it's not your mom. it's not your dad. you may want them to be your mom and dad. it's not. it's the cops. it's it's the police officers. every single day. you know, these are the heroes. and it really -- it rips -- the country is being shredded. you know what do they say? sizzles is a thin crust on a you have cano. these are the heroes. i will never forget september 11th, right? hearing all the stories of the emergency services cops and truck 7 the swat guys essentially running into the building. do you know what i can never get out of my head after that? that truck 7. those cops, brian, those were some of the same guys who turned out of the precinct i worked in the 7-5 nypd police officer. can i never forget the idea that i may have walked past some of those ideas who are now no longer with us. these are the real heroes. we have got to fix something in this broken culture we have now. steve: absolutely. you know, dan, for a very long time. people referred to new york city as the safest big city in america. but that is quaint now because we are certain liver heading the wrong direction. the new york city pba, police benevolent association yesterday morning at this time tweeted this out. 25 people were shot from saturday morning to 7:00 a.m. sunday morning. that makes 58 people shot this week. that's 100 percent increase in shooting victims from the same week last year. and then there was a story here in new york city about how yesterday, the day before yesterday, 11:00 in the morning, on a subway platform in broad daylight, right over here, 63rd and lexington a guy tried to rape a 24-year-old woman and nobody, you know, everybody is going hey, don't do that. the guy got away, eventually. he was apprehended with the use, i think, of facial recognition software up town. but, nonetheless, there is a feeling that the city is spiraling out of control and that is why it is currently impossible to book a u-haul because everybody is trying to get the hell out of this town. >> yeah. i mean, this is gotham. it's like a really bad dystopian batman book from a dark knight series or something. this is insane. it's attributable, steve, to very real things. i was a member of the pba as a police officer myself. i'm glad they're putting this out there. simple. when i was with the police department rudy giuliani and to be fair falling into the michael bloomberg era as well. they followed broken windows policing. you jumped the turnstile. you went to jail. years before it didn't work that way, steve. you didn't take people to jail for jumping the turnstile. the attitude not serious let them go you don't want to take a cop off the street. the guy who jumped the turnstile same guy with a firearm who was going to shoot or rob someone on the train. with you punched them for jumping the turnstile. he didn't commit the robbery. this was not complicated. they followed this for 10 years, 20 years i would say. and all of that success, as you guys are witnessing sadly first hand, with our officers and studios in new york. all of it something dismantled by de blasio almost overnight. it's heart-breaking to watch. emily: that's exactly right, dan. one note quick on that subway note. he walls a repeat offender. he had been arrested over 14 times. i want to take a step back and get your thoughts too on the global look on the level of organization behind these violent protests. now we have g.o.p. ken buck doubling down on rand paul's calls for an actual department of justice investigation into the funding of these violent protests. now, he tweeted out he said the justice department needs to open up an investigation into who is funding these violent riots. what are your thoughts on that, dan? >> well, after walking out of the white house for the acceptance speech event with president trump on friday, into salute madness. i think you could see that video. thank god by the way border patrol guys who walked with me and my wife. that was not a protest. it was not a protest. period. okay? anyone in the media who is telling you that that was some kind of -- forget peaceful. throw that word out the window. what you saw out there was an organized mob of people. i'm not kidding, guys. i know it's morning. threatening to rape my wife, will make you watch. calling my wife the "b" word. think not just once by the way. that video you saw which is my wife, i told them get them on tape because people need to see this. you need to see first hand from what my wife saw. an immigrant to this country who escaped the drug ravaged streets of coley columbia as a kid to walk out onto the streets of an american city in washington, d.c. outlines of our white house, and be called a hooker, be called -- i can't even say it because it's a morning show. and we have fcc rules here. the things that were said to me and my wife were disgusting. people threatening i will meet you outside of the hotel in the morning. the only thing that stopped them, i'm not kidding, was art, brandon judd and border patrol guys who walked with us as we walked a mile long gauntlet of animals. these were not protests. there may be peaceful protests going on during the day and god bless you. the next day i heard there was a protest at the mall was very peaceful. good for you. that was not a protest. that was a violent mob of aggressive maniacs trying to frighten the hell out of american citizens because they had the gull to attend a political event. brian: dan, think about this. so many of them you can't get violent with them. you are not going to end up on top. plus you have your wife with you, forget it. put that out of your head. >> that's what they want. brian: believe me it, happened to me. that's their job. someone is paying them. someone is taking them and then trying to make america better. >> they are desperate to get to you respond and punch one of them in the face so they can sue you and say look, violent fox news host attacks peaceful protesters. that's -- listen, for as painful as it was for me to allow these lunatics to call my wife these things and to sit there all i could do was get between them and her. they want you. they want you desperately to respond. these are -- they know exactly what to do. they want violence. they pray for it. and the best thing can you do is get it on tape and show america exactly who these people are they are not protesting anything, brian. no one even asked us how we feel about black lives or anything like that. brian: listen. we rolled that tape when you there were and already over time. to think full circle. the american people are outradgesd by that. that's why joe biden left his basement. he knows there is only one politician condemning it and is he a republican. and they were sitting on the sideline. and that's why you have got to. >> speak out. and i tweeted last night and i meant it. you should have spoke out before the city started burning. it's no good to speak out now. you are three months too late. sorry. brian: there is no sincerity in it. steve: dan, thank you very much for dropping by and sharing the story. sorry your family went through that. that's rough. >> thanks, guys, appreciate it. steve: all right. 14 minutes before the top of the hour. and that is some of the news. jillian has got more. jillian: that's right. good morning. let's begin with this story. hours long police standoff ending under the dark circumstances after reports of gunfire near a pro-trump car rally. los angeles police say witnesses heard loud bangs and pointed to a nearby apartment building. they gave police a photo with a man with a rifle on a balcony. when a swat team busted into the apartment. no one was inside. no one was hurt. it's unclear if that gunfire was connected to the rally. deputy dhs secretary ken cuccinelli says the l.a. county sheriff new sanctuary policy will kill people. sheriff alex is banning his department from turning over illegal immigrants to ice custody. cuccinelli telling "the washington times" it will put violent criminals back on the streets and put lives at risk. new york city teachers could move forward today with plans to go on strike. the union wants mandatory coronavirus testing for both students and staff. almost 1 million kids are enrolled in the district. principal's union fears there may not be enough teachers because of the pandemic. school is set to start september 10th. a 10-year-old girl challenges front man to a drum battle. listen to this. ♪ ♪ and i wonder ♪ ♪ jillian: she is awesome. the girl accepting the british challenge never played the song since he the day he recorded it in 1997 ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ jillian: there is he borrowing his daughter harper's drum kit. he then challenged her to play a song by his other band then crooked vultures. that's a look at your headlines. send it back to you. steve: do we vote now on who won?

>> you know, she was something else. talking about a lady who grew up in the great depression. she lived in west texas the dust bowl days were going on simultaneously. she watched that all the way to the internet in her lifetime. still at that age at 88 and a half was running her own business, lived by herself. called her own shots. and she was a very proud american and really an example to me that, you know, if you can be useful, be useful. you know, take advantage of what this country offers you. this country doesn't owe you anything but it offers you everything. but that was definitely her attitude and i inherited that, i'm proud to say. we mills her greatly but she lives on in spirit without a doubt. emily: absolutely. our condolences and prayers for you, john and your whole family. briefly in the final few seconds we have left. you mentioned that there are some surprises that viewers can look forward to learning about these american dreams that they're hearing about. can you share a quick antidote about what viewers can look forward to in season three. >> wow, if you go to scott hamilton i know these guys and research them to to make sure there is no stone left unturned. never fails something else comes up. scott hamilton his story goes from the beginning all the way to the end. there is one thing in common that i had no idea and he didn't either until recently. that just boggled my mind without that obstacle he probably wouldn't have gotten his gold medal. watch the pursuit. you won't believe some of these stories. emily: we will absolutely look forward to it, john. wonderful having you on as always. the pursuit with john rich available now, exclusively on fox nation. stay with us. coming up, house minority whip steve scalise and dean cain. lots to look forward. to say see you soon. ...

" but white house deputy press secretary says, guys, the president is looking forward to this trip tomorrow and he's humbled by the outrage from those in kenosha, emily, brian, steve? brian: thank, griff appreciate it it's amazing those protesters are out late and they have to get up for work today i'm sure they are all employed in great jobs and wonderful careers. let's go out to louisiana congressman. steve: rand paul said they are getting paid. brian: i'm not sure if it's off or on the books or how it looks at the top of their resume , "ryer"." steve scalise joins us, congressman good to see you i know louisiana has been slammed, let's talk politics for a second because if you look from oakland to kenosha to washington d.c. last night, riots are everywhere they aren't protests they are riots. five cops got hurt, and here is what the president is saying about all of this because suddenly, it seems democrats and joe biden seem to see a difference between protests and riots. he says when is slow joe biden going to criticize the anarchist s and suggest bringing up the national guard and into crime-infested democratic cities and states. he can't lose the crazy bernie super liberal vote. jerry nadler said it's a made up antifa is a made-up washington thing. >> how concerning is this. president trump has been very clear from the beginning you can peacefully protest but you can't go and burn down buildings and attack police officers and yet joe biden continues to denounce president trump on things like bringing in the national guard and won't stand up to antifa. this is a serious serious concern in every city across the country that people have, and for whatever reason, joe biden won't stand up against it but president trump has, and president trump is going to protect people and their communities. these mayors have been letting their cities get out of control. it's unbelievable they are okay with the mobs, they are angry about president trump coming into the city, to try to bring some kind of civility but then, you know, they will literally sit by and watch as their cities are being burned down in some cases it's unbelievable. steve: sure, you know, congressman scalise, i know a number of republicans and joe biden says he would defund the police. that was after he did an interview with somebody who was asking him some questions about police brutality and funding of the police and things like that. this is the exact quote from the biden, on july 11, from now this watch. >> there's a whole range of things that we can do. the idea of no-knock warrants for drug cases is bizarre. we don't need that. it just in sites trouble. there's a need for fundamental change in us being able to have transparency and access to the records of police when they have misconduct charges against them. >> we can agree we can redirect some of the funding? >> yes. absolutely. steve: okay, so you're taking some heat over the weekend from twitter because you took the last part of that, but you added, from earlier in the interview, "the police" and put it right in there, and you were accused of manipulating a video. what do you have to say about that? >> well you know look it shouldn't have been edited but at the same time the comments were always about in fact twice in that interview he asked joe biden if he was for redirecting money away from police and in both times joe biden said yes, and you saw that last response, joe was excited about saying yes that he would redirect money away from police, so you know, look, we sent out the video again, the full video in fact if anybody wants to see it with that full interview, but again, multiple times joe biden has asked if he supports redirecting money away from police, and joe biden says yes. redirecting and defunding the police are the same thing. if you're a police officer and they're redirecting money away from you doesn't matter where else it's going it's going to make it harder for those police officers to do their job safely, and to keep those communities safe beings and so this is serious issue in this campaign, and joe biden for whatever reason has taken that position that he's okay with redirecting money away from police, and look at what's going on in some of these cities. they need maybe stronger law enforcement presence, surely, they don't need a weaker law enforcement presence. >> emily: congressman we'd love to get your thoughts as well on the white house chief of staff blasting pelosi for rejecting the gop's $1.3 trillion covid-19 stimulus plan over what he calls pelosi's fantasy. it was on "meet the press" take a listen. >> i had a conversation with speaker pelosi and even on her $2.2 trillion counter offer she can't tell the american people, nor me, what is in that. she puts forth a number, suggests that she came down, and yet, she's willing to turn down $1.3 trillion of help that goes to the american people, because she would rather them have nothing than to give way on what her fantasy might be. >> emily: what are your thoughts on that and what is going on behind the scenes and what undoubtedly can only be your level of exhaustion at the inability for these two parties to get together? >> look, president trump's made multiple attempts to negotiate. in fact, mark meadows was down at the capitol a week and a half ago when speaker pelosi brought us in on a saturday not to help the families or the small businesses but to give another $25 billion to the post office, at a time when they said they couldn't even spend the 25 billion they already had in the bank, and in access to a loan so speaker pelosi didn't want to refresh crate to try to help those families or small businesses. we were all there that day and there wasn't a single bill she brought to the floor to impede the impasse so president trump said okay i'm going to go help those families anyway, and he is but it's a shame that you don't see the speaker engaged in a serious negotiation. she wants to bail out failed states like new york and california, clearly, there's no support on our side for that, but at the same time, helping families and small businesses, president has always been there, mark meadows as chief has always been there and she won't negotiate on this so this idea of hey just give me 2 trillion, $3 trillion, for goodness sake where is this money coming from? china is going to be, we're borrowing from china if she continues to support china, she won't confront china by the way on the house floor. we ought to be doing that. brian: but congressman people are really hurting out there and to continue some of these programs that have been effective be in the best interest of the american people, so what are you doing to give people hope that something could get done? is that it? that half hour conversation between meadows and pelosi? is that all we're going to have? is anything else on the docket? >> well they've continued to try to negotiate but in the meantime what president trump did is take action he actually said we're going to put up an extra $300 a week for people who are unemployed due to this crisis. he did that on his own through a different mechanism with fema, but at the same time, you know the ability has always been there to negotiate a bigger package, a larger agreement, the speakers for whatever reason said she kind of my way or the highway approach and like i said we're not going to go and change voting laws to undermine state's ability to run a safe and integrified election. we have to make sure this idea of mailing ballots is a crazy idea and that's something the speaker has tried to do in the past relief packages, luckily we've kept that out. why don't we focus on helping families and small businesses? unfortunately that's not where they are. steve: you're helping small businesses and families with regard to covid and how they've been impacted but down in your home state you were talking about fema a moment ago. fema is there in louisiana after hurricane laura ripped through with devastating winds came a shore with 140-mile per hour winds. i want to play a sound bite for you, congressman, of a bridal store owner talking about the challenges she faces, and so many others do, in your home state. watch this. >> what we see now is the worst disaster that i think louisiana has ever seen. they're telling us it could be up to four weeks without water. we have no water. we have no electricity. there's no n-95 masks for people to get into their homes, to try to save anything that's left. people are scared to evacuate because of corona. they don't have money, because of corona. they don't have the funds to be able to get out of here. i just really need to plead with our community and with our nation, people don't realize how bad it is here. one out of every five people i know have nothing. they have nothing. steve: that just breaks your heart. what is congress going to do? >> yeah, it's really devastating down there. in fact i went and did an aerial tour last week and was with president trump on saturday with our local delegation, clay higgi ns represents that area in congress and our senator john kennedy so the president made it clear we're going to have all the help we need to rebuild, right now they are working with the mayor on the water supply. the entire watt r system was knocked down, the power was out because so many lines were knocked down and substations. this was a strong category 4 when it hit ground so over 150- mile an hour winds in most of these places, so you have tremendous damage that was done. president trump came saturday and said we're going to do everything we can at the federal level to make sure people have help, that they need to get these communities rebuilt, and you know, some places it's going to take time, clearly, we've seen this before, unfortunately, but people are pulling together. yet the cajun navy is on the ground working with united way and local faith-based organizations to help families as well so everybody is pitching in, and you're going to see all hands-on deck effort from the federal level on down to the local level to help people get back, rebuild their lives. >> emily: steve scalise, house minority whip our thoughts and prayers are with you and the great state of louisiana as you guys get back on your feet thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you, appreciate it, god bless. >> emily: all right over to jillian, now i'm sorry excuse me we are going on a mob of angry protesters attacking guests, leaving the rnc thursday night. our next guest was among those targeted, new hampshire committeeman chris ager joins us for his first interview following the incident right after this. stay with us. i like liberty mutual. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. what do you think?

>> so during the president's speech, it was fantastic, everything was just superb. we knew something was up when we left, secret service told us we had to go out the opposite direction, and the reason was because they had protesters, so i was actually with rand paul for a while and we came out and then we went opposite directions , and when we got around the streetage was great until we got here the willard hotel and then the police had a road blocked off. we believe there were some vip's coming through and the only way we could get to where this woman that was with susan young from the republican committee in washington to get her to her car and my car was nearby was to go through about 200 protesters. so we can't be afraid to walk down the street in america, so she was a real trooper and took her high heels off and said okay let's go and we just walked through, didn't say anything to the people except asked them to watch their language, and just went through that situation. nobody in america, democrat republican, race, creed, color, should ever be afraid to walk down a public street in the united states of america, and i blame the mayor bowser for handcuffin g the police in washington. they really would not let them help us. steve: you know you mentioned rand paul. rand paul was on this program on friday, chris, and he mentioned that if the police weren't there , he felt that they would have killed him. he also, you know, he was very specific in the death threats. which is a felony. he's a federal officer. you can not make death threats of a federal officer. he also felt that these people were not there just by happensta nce. he felt they had been hired and they were part of an intimidation program. >> i'm 100% convinced that this was an organized event and that people were paid. they were using the same lines and when that one young person, i call her little miss pop tart was yelling in my face, she had a handler behind her who was controlling her, and then behind that person were about four or five larger men with backpacks and then they had separate people filming, and so it was very well-organized. they knew what they were doing, they were trying to illicit a response from us, but you know, we chatted very quickly, as we weighedded into the crowd, let's not give them a reason to turn us into the bad guys. it was definitely coordinated, steve. steve: sure, dan bongino was with us an hour ago and he also got the same kind of treatment when he left and luckily he had some people kind of security from border patrol with him, but he felt they were trying to get so close and up in his face, and up in your face, to provoke a response, either a word or you know, you've just had so much you're going to take a swing at somebody next thing you'll get arrested. >> i totally agree with that and they even claim that i touch ed them when i did not. they were using the most foul and vulgar language, totally unacceptable, and it was clearly a targeted attack, and you know, this is the kind of thing that again, nobody in america on either side should have to put up with this and i'm not going to yield the streets to them. if i need go from place to place , and they're in the way i'm going to go through, not looking for a fight, but we can't yield the streets to these people. we just can't do it. steve: and in fact you were in the army and you flew helicopter s. it does not seem like you were intimidated but you did say that the woman you had accompanied was a little freaked out. she was not used to that. >> no she was but she did ask me when we went in just to keep my cool, so she was a real, you know, a rock star kind of a wing man there, and i didn't have to worry about her. the credit i give to her is when the door was locked and the door man pushed the wrong code and ran away at the hotel, he ran away in fear, she said, she knew where the garage was and said follow me, let's go so i give her a lot of credit. steve: for telling the story chris ager, we thank you very much for joining us live today. >> thank you, steve. steve: well there you go. we know his story. meanwhile coming up people are fleeing new york city as crime increases and the quality of life goes south, and moving companies cannot keep up. dean cain here with reaction, coming up next. >> ♪ i feel so close to you right now it's a force field ♪ ♪ book two separate qualifying stays and earn a free night. the open road is open again. and wherever you're headed, choice hotels is there. book direct at choicehotels.com. with acetaminophenction and wherever you're headed, choice hotels is there. fights pain in two ways. advil targets pain at the source... ...while acetaminophen blocks pain signals. the future of pain relief is here. new advil dual action.

is it my daughter? just let me look. is that my daughter! >> [child screaming ] >> how does it get from this drug, i mean it i want to know. >> i know! >> what is that? >> i just don't know who i am anymore, or why i'm here really >> i wish i could see one more time. >> emily: dean such a powerful film that especially resonates on today. what is your message for viewers >> well, emily it's a thing, you know, jack was a regular 19-year-old kid and a family was a loving wonderful family and they had no issues, they had no idea that he was doing drugs at all, and last, i think it was april, of 2019 kirk, the father came on fox & friends and talked about it. they had no clue their wonderful child was using drugs at all, and he went to bed one night, goodnight i'm going to go to bed and went upstairs and overdosed on heroin and so, his mission and his life, it's the kind of thing that i don't know how i would overcome that as a father, and what they've chosen to do is start a foundation, jack joanah foundation, and they want to make parents aware of the dangers of opioid overdoses and things of that nature and one of the things he talked about when he was on last year was go through your kid's backpack. it seems like it's in a position and going through their privacy but after his son overdosed he went through his backpack and found all sorts of drug paraphernalia and it just shock ed him and actually after he was on the show, i got messages from people who actually did that, and found drug paraphernalia in their kid 's backpacks and they were stunned so it's closer than you think. be aware of it. president trump did a very nice job on this and he declared the opioid epidemic a national health public emergency and made a lot of funds available and independent 2018 was the first time in 30 years where the actual number of overdoses in a year has gone down so it's a good sign. i think in 2020 it's going to be scary with this pandemic and everybody being locked inside. brian: i know, china too, with fentanyl, and again, all roads leads to china over and over again, but the jack jonah foundation is to support that great movement which really bumped into 2010 became a major issue. dean, before you go, you're also , you're in los angeles in the area. people are leaving there, they are leaving new york city. there's a debate here even though the numbers are staggering in terms of home sales into the suburbs and flee to connecticut and upstate new york and new jersey. do you think it's seinfeld says it's temporary, everything, we just go through a cycle and other people here say we've never seen things as bad. you have the same thing in los angeles. do you think this is a blip or do you think people are leaving for good? >> i've lived in california, i went to school in new jersey and things like that but lived in california and never did i ever think i would leave malibu, california. i for the first time ever am concerned if this election goes the wrong way, i'm concerned about living here in california and actually considering leaving for the first time in my life. so i'd like to believe it's just a blip; however just things have gotten so out of control here in terms of taxes it's insane here in california. we're just doing such a poor job of governing that when i go to visit with the state sometimes i go wow it be nice to live here and save an additional huge amount of money and have more freedoms and maybe i would consider that so i hope it's a blip but i fear it's not. steve: yeah, no taxes in texas or florida, or tennessee, and a couple other states. something to think about. all right dean cain superman, thank you very much for joining us today. >> thank you, all, thank you. brian: that school in new jersey i believe it goes by princeton? steve: i think so. brian: it's a four-year school. steve: is it? brian: yeah. steve: meanwhile coming up portland's mayor blaming president trump for the chaos in his city. >> you've tried to divide us more than any other figure in modern history, and now, you want me to stop the violence that you helped create. steve: that message was for the president. his press secretary is going to respond next. >> ♪ ♪ it was 1961 when nellie young lost her devoted husband. without him, things were tough. her last option was to sell her home, but... her home meant everything to her. her husband had been a high school football coach and it turned out, one of his former players came up with an answer. a loan, created just for older homeowners. and pretty soon, nellie young had one of the first reverse mortgages. discover if a reverse mortgage loan is right for you. use it to eliminate monthly mortgage payments and increase cashflow, create an emergency fund, preserve retirement savings and more. call now for your free information kit. that first reverse mortgage loan meant nellie could stay in the home she loved so much, with memories that meant even more. a reverse mortgage loan isn't some kind of trick to take your home. it's a loan... and it's tax-free cash just when you need it. it's about making your retirement better. call today and find out more in aag's free, no-obligation reverse mortgage loan guide. access tax-free cash and stay in the home you love. of course, you can use it to pay some bills, cover medical costs, update or repair your home. but best of all, it eliminates those monthly mortgage payments so you get more cash in your pocket, every month. learn how you can use a reverse mortgage loan to cover your expenses, pay for healthcare, preserve retirement savings, and so much more. a lots changed since 1961... since then over a million older americans have used a reverse mortgage loan to finance their retirements. it meant so much to nellie, maybe it could mean as much to you... call now and get your free infokit do you seriously wonder, mr. president, why this is the first time in decades that america has seen this level of violence? it's you, who have created the hate and the division. you've tried to divide us more than any other figure in modern history and now you want me to stop the violence that you help ed create. brian: it's hard listening to that let's bring in kayleigh mcenany, white house press secretary. kayleigh, welcome back. so the mayor is blaming president trump for 90 days of violence in portland. does he accept the blame? >> no that is a preposterous assertion. what is responsible for the violence is this deeply irresponsible defund the police movement and when you go back to the obama administration it was none other than james comey who identified the ferguson effect which is when there's this rush to judgment and criticism of police officers they pulled back and what we've seen with defund the police is when you literally get rid of police officers there is an up-tick in violence. it's what we're seeing in portland, mayor wheeler is responsible he's not charging individuals and by contrast, the doj has charged 74 individuals with federal crime, so we're doing all we can but until he accepts our help, there's a limit to what we can do. steve: kayleigh what's going on with the joe biden campaign, because we've gotten some conflicting information. what is that music back there? is there something going on at the white house? >> it's very odd we're trying to figure out what this music is i wondered if you could hear it. steve: kind of sounds like the good humor man but maybe not so what's going on with the biden campaign, because last week, the former vice president told david muir he was going to go ahead and run the campaign from home and not leave and then he decided i'm going to leave after labor day and now he's going to be going today to pittsburgh to make a speech about kenosha. if you're going to make a speech about kenosha, why don't you go to kenosha? >> yeah, one would think that be the case here we go again democrats ignoring the state of wisconsin as they did in 2016. this president shows up. he showed up this weekend in texas. he showed up in louisiana. he's showing up in kenosha tomorrow. this president is out and about reopening the country, demonstrating his respect for the american people by actually going to places where americans are hurting. he'll always show up that's what this president has done for four years and he'll continue to do. >> emily: kayleigh we'd also like to get your thoughts on the fact that the president's upcoming visit to wisconsin the democratic governor is telling trump not to come, he's saying i, along with other community leaders who have reached out, are concerned about what your presence, meaning the president's visit will mean for kenosha and our state. i am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. i'm concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together. kayleigh what are your or the president's thoughts on again, a preposterous as you put it earlier, assertion by the governor to this? >> yeah, that this president will go to kenosha, wisconsin. he loves the people of wisconsin and he looks forward to speaking directly to them and unifying the state and when you look at what this administration has done, minneapolis was a place of violent riots then all of a sudden the national guard came in and we saw peace in the city. what we saw in kenosha, wisconsin again is federal help come into that area, and we did see a noticeable difference when they came in so this president is always willing to help and he's going to show up and he'll be there tomorrow. brian: so kayleigh will he meet with jacob blake's family? i know they said someone said he had an effort to reach out, haven't connected yet. what could you tell us on that? >> we are efforting outreach, have not been able to connect yet so tomorrow, the plan is so far to go and to meet with law enforcement to look at some of the damage from the riots but we are holding his family close to our heart, and this president as i said we've efforted outreach and once i have an update we'll be sure to get back to you. steve: okay, it sounds like there are a number of people in washington on the republican side who after the rnc, there at the white house, which also had music that night, after that, these protesters, agitators got into a bunch of people's faces, and senator rand paul was on our program on friday. ken buck, the california congressman, he is asking the justice department to open an investigation into who those people were who made the death threats on rand and kelly paul and others, because when you make a threat against a federal officer, that is a felony. >> yeah that's right, steve. we are wanting to look into that we know a lot of these efforts are organized when you look across the country by antifa and other anarchists. it's unacceptable. i heard dan bongino on your program earlier and the things being shouted at his wife, it's disgusting, for those who are saying this is all peace across the country which is what the democrats had been telling us for the last 90 days that just simply is not the case and now we have video evidence to prove what we've been saying all along while democrats set silent brian: yeah, and kayleigh, i guess there's a lot going on, real quick, can i just get you to weigh in on john ratcliffe not briefing the house intelligence committee? >> yeah, you know, john ratcliffe is going to do what is his statutory responsibility and make sure congress is briefed but what we're not going to do is enable leaks that are all too often done for partisan purposes he briefed on july 31 and within minutes, there were leak, all throughout newspapers, by comment and women so that is what he went accept. steve: kayleigh thank you very much. thank you, guys. steve: just at the end of the segment the music turned off >> just in time. steve: thank, kayleigh. brian: america the musical. steve: meanwhile, coming up some stock traders forecasting election chaos since november and it's triggering fresh fears on wall street but making money host charles payne says he's not worried you'll hear him say that , coming up next. from prom dresses... ...to soccer practices... ...and new adventures. you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past... they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. let's help protect them together. because missing menb vaccination could mean missing out on a whole lot more. ask your doctor if your teen is missing meningitis b vaccination. asyou can adjust youriggestn sacomfort on both sides...eep your sleep number setting.. can it help me fall asleep faster?

charles: well, i'm not worried yet, brian and the market is telling me at this very moment the stock market tells me that it believes donald trump is going to be re-elected as president otherwise we wouldn't have the best august in 30 years. the market has this interesting nack, and when i say the market i'm not talking about hedge fund guys on wall street or limousine liberals who don't mind who wins because their private equity tax breaks never get changed, no matter who win, it's just everyone else's taxes change. no, i'm talking about the stock market itself, brian. so at this moment listen, it can change and it could be anxiety and obviously, we remember the whole thing with the hanging and that anxiety, the markets did pullback a hefty pullback i think like 8% back then, but, at this very moment with the stock market is telegraphing to me, where corporate earnings are telegraphing to me, what economic data is telegraphing to me is that the president will be re-elected. brian: gotcha. charles something exciting is happening with you and your show you're doing a virtual town hall called "american vests together" with special guest, dive portnoy answering question, the bar stool guy just did an interview with the president of the united states. what's your approach? charles: my approach is people are taking control of their economic lives, brian. they're no longer intimidated by the stock market or hanging their money over to someone else who says hey, you'll make 5% a year and like it. no they're saying no there's something inherently wrong with that. you know when wall street firms report their earnings if they don't make 40% in the last three months on their trading their stocks go down. people are saying i wanted to have a different connection with my future. here is the thing. wall street hates it. they hate the independents. they hate the fact that people act like robinhood and they're doing this because they lose their power. they're cheering almost every day. most of the financial media unfortunately feels like every day they're cheering for a pullback, a correction. they keep saying this won't end well. well, so far its done extraordinarily well, dave portnoy is the pied piper, when fortress shutdown he started trading the market and shared his trades with a general public and made a fortune and now wall street hates him as well but here is the thing i've been around for over 30 years and i do this every day. i have my show but my business i've been doing my stock market research business i've been doing for over 30 years i've seen every ink is el mistake people can make so i want you to control your financial future and i want to be able to help and i'm going to bring on dave because dave learned a lot in this short period of trading and he's been extraordinarily successful and influential and investing public needs to understand there will be challenges but i don't want them shaken out of this market because there have been attempts in the last 20 years for people to make more control of their money and then the first crash they kind of give up, and start doing the same old mundane investing or even worse, brian they get out of the market and never get back in. brian: gotcha it's going to be great, i love dave portnoy, the so-called self-made success story america was built for. he found a niche in the market so that's going to be great. charles thanks so much we'll watch "making money" on fox business week days at 2:00. and send in your questions by the way to be part of the town hall. meanwhile, we'll come back in just a moment and say something you won't believe. >> ♪ ♪ this isn't just a bandage it's a badge of armor of care of respect. because it means you fight for the safety of those you love. when you come into walgreens you get a flu shot that's right for you... and them you become a flu fighter. do your part and defend your crew against the flu. ♪ walgreens ♪ ♪ ♪ the open road is open again. and wherever you're headed, choice hotels is there. book direct at choicehotels.com. ♪ >> you know what that is?
