Election we ever had. Joe biden is the puppet of left wing extremists. We are in the fight for the survival of our nation. Biden is just a trojan horse for socialism. If left wing democrats cant run a city, why on earth would you let them run your country. We have got to stop these radical left maniacs. We have got to win this election. [chanting four more years] brian thanks Michael Jackson family to let us borrow his smoke machine to go around 2020. So perfect to talk what b. What 2020 has been. A year in which everybodys hair is on fire like no day is the same as the day before. Brian that was like something i have never seen before. Steve that is the actual ball they drop on new years eve. Is it appropriate that they dropped the ballast night . Welcome to studio f as in fox friends. Ainsley upstairs. Steve we are closer. We are on the same level. If only ethan allen could make, lets see six times like a 15foot curvey couch we would be set. Ainsley we are socially distancing far apart from each other. It reminds me what we saw last night. Such a bizarre thing that were all experiencing. Last night it was the First Time Ever a convention has been basically a zoom call. Night one of the Democratic National convention in the virtual book. The two hour event looking more like a telethon some say. Brian Bernie Sanders and Michelle ObamaHolding Nothing back recording in Michelle Obamas case a week before. Attacking President Trump while pushing the Progressive Movement. Steve meanwhile, while it was supposed to be in milwaukee Griff Jenkins is live in wilmington, delaware because that is where joe biden, for the most part, is going to give his big show on thursday night. Griff thats right. Steve, anxiously, brian, good morning. First night in the history books of a virtual connection the New York Times says they thought it resembling something of an online awards show. Celebrities, democrat star power. A republican and the leader of the progressive left, a moment, guys, i thought was the most significant of the night. Bernie sanders driving home the point that biden has now fully embraced the very radical positions that just a short time ago were deemed outliers. Listen. Let me take this opportunity to say a word to the millions of people who supported my campaign. But our Movement Continues and is getting stronger every day. Many of the ideas we fought for that just a few years afghanistan were considered radical are now mainstream. Griff the night certainly belonged to former first lady Michelle Obama who delivered a strong and pointed case against another term for President Donald Trump in remarks that she taped before Kamala Harris was tapped as the running mate. Here is what she had to say. It . Going high is the only thing that works. Because when we go low, when we use those same tactics of degrading and dehumanizing others, we just become part of the ugly noise thats drowning out everything else. We have got to vote for joe biden like our lives depend on it. Griff Racial Injustice was a major theme introduced by the nights emcee eva longoria culminated by a Movement SilenceGeorge Floyds brother. And coronavirus the very reason this Convention Online front and center two governors whitmer laid blame for the pandemic at President Trumps feet. Covid is the symptom, not the illness. Covid is just a metaphor. Donald trump didnt create the initial division. The division created trump. He only made it worse. We listened to medical experts. We planned. And with a lot of work from the auto workers and too little help from the white house, joe biden and Kamala Harris will lead by example. So here we go for night two. Tonights theme is leadership matters. We will see the leader of the socalled squad aoc speaking. Chuck schumer, will dr. Jill biden the highlight. Interesting moment when you have a speech by led by georgias Stacey Abrams we will find out. Also interesting, guys, to see how they deal with the enthusiasm factor. Obviously a big challenge to create the excitement of a cheering packed hall when its allline loan. Brian, ainsley, steve . Ainsley if you read some of the comments this morning people writing on twitter, the washington post, some other headlines this morning, marianne womenson who was a candidate. Candidate. Steve spiritual guru. Ainsley i wanted to like it. It feels like we are watching a national zoom meeting. Someone please talk me off the ledge i want to win and the first 22 minutes of this dnc im scared. Can someone tell me how great this is or something i thought it was void of excitement. Grant nod audience. No cheers. When Michelle Obama speaks normally the crowd would be on their feet. You dont get any of that she allegedly record . Is a week ago. Donna brazile saying she was disheartened or disappointed that she never once mention that Kamala Harris woul could be thet black president as a female. She said she wished she would addressed that. She allegedly recorded this a week ago before he made the announcement. There were music videos which was interesting bashing President Trump, of course, and blaming him a lot for this corona. Shear what Chris Wallace said after he watched a little of it . I watched the first half hour of the convention tonight and i come in with more questions than answers. First of all, is this going to work in the first half hour felt more to me like a telethon than it did like the National Convention that were used to seeing. Brian listen, its a tough spot. Noble doubts that but i would go out of your way to at least record something within 72 hours of the convention. How busy is Michelle Obama former first lady that she couldnt wait for joe biden to name a running mate to talk about since it is historic with her ethnic background to talk about what she accomplished. Also, i think its quite interesting that Michelle Obama talked about how unified we were during the president obama years. Im not saying its president obamas fault necessarily but we were not unified. I cant think of a piece of legislation that republicans and democrats even voted for and the only reason president obama got reelected because he vilified mitt romney. He didnt run on what he did the first four years. Lets bring in senator Marsha Blackburn not only esteemed senator from tennessee but the Senate Judiciary committee. Senator, i know the pressure is going to be on the republicans to make their four days entertaining and interesting without the star power. What did you glean from yesterday . What i found out yesterday was indeed this was like a telethon and everything is blame donald trump. And listening to it last night and watching this, i thought of course, the liberal elites are upset with him. The American People elected him to drain the swamp. To make certain that he reworked washington, d. C. So that washington, d. C. Was focused on the heartland. And what you saw last night was a presentation of hollywood meets the heartland. Trying to bring out celebrities to say were doing this right, agree with us, agree with us. And the American People do not. You know, brian, one of the things i think they really messed up, was letting bernie stand there and say our agenda is alive. Brian yep. We succeeded in pushing our agenda into this platted form. Our movement lives. That is what we have been saying. This is the leftist takeover of the Democrat Party. Bernie stood there and said you bet. Green new deal. Socialized medicine. Confiscate your guns. Open the borders. Healthcare for illegal aliens. Felony voters. But you know one thing they never said last night is rioters, stop it. They never talked about being for law and order. And i imagine ainsley is like me, my daughter and a lot of moms, safety, security, making certain our families are secure, our communities are safe number one on the list. Steve the Trump Campaign in the form of hogan gidley said, you know, maybe it was an oversight because it was the first night but they left out how joe biden would raise taxes on 80 of americans to the tune of almost 4 trillion. Also missing was joe bidens open border policy. Amnesty, work permits for 11 million illegal aliens. No members of joes desire to cut Police Funding to your point right there, senator. Or how he would kill 10 Million Energy jobs with the Green New Deal or free healthcare to illegals as well. Nonetheless, we did see the democratic socialist and he had to be happy because, you know, so much of joes platform is bernies platform now. Plus, there was a republican as well. John kasich, former ohio governor, republican who did not go to the Republican Convention four years ago in ohio, but, instead, he showed up at the democrats this time. Here is john and bernie. Im sure there are republicans and independents who couldnt imagine crossing over to support a democrat. They fear joe may turn sharp left and leave them behind. I dont believe that. Because i know the measure of the man. Its reasonable, faithful. Respectful. And, you know . No one pushes joe arranged. Our campaign ended several months ago. But our Movement Continues. And is getting stronger every day. Many of the ideas we fought for, that just a few years ago were considered radical are now mainstream. Steve senator because of the pandemic feel havent focused on politics. Now that the conventions have started i think people will. Given the fact that the dnc im sure the rnc is watching going, okay, our show cannot be that flat and, in fact, apparently they have applied for a fireworks permit for the heenk of Donald Trumps speech over the white house. So, clearly, the lines are being drawn and american will have a clear choice. Definitely. It is going to be a very stark choice. Do you want to tilt to socialism because bernies agenda is going to be driving the show. Or do you want to focus on freedom . Donald trump is going to focus on freedom. More freedom for you, your family, he focuses on what i call the big five, which i think is the priority. Faith, family, freedom, hope and opportunity. And i will tell you this as the gop, we are the great opportunity party. And this you absolutely saw with the economy after the 2017 tax cuts and jobs act. Look at what that did for the heartland of this country. Bringing jobs back, Opening Doors of opportunity for millions of people. Donald trump did that once with the help of a Republican House and senate and do you know what . He can do that again. And that is what people want. They want to get back to work. They want to get their children back to school. They want life to return to normal. They want to be able to go to church and sit in the pug pew ad sing praise and worship music. They dont want to be locked in their houses and certain live if joe biden is going to campaign he needs to not be locked in his basement. He needs to get out and talk about the things that he is for. But hes not doing that because they have adopted bernies agenda. And the Democrat Party really doesnt want you to know that but, they are talking all the way around it by avoiding talking to about safety and security of american communities, supporting our men and women in the military. Supporting our police and Police Departments and Law Enforcement officers. Those are the things they left out last night. Ainsley you know, the question when you watch is that if you are an independent did that give you a reason to vote for joe biden . And if you look at the messages, have you got kasich who is saying wont turn a sharp left. Hes not going to turn a sharp left. Then have you got Bernie Sanders saying the opposite. These progressive views have now become mainstreamed. Steve im confused. Ainsley exactly. You mentioned earlier your number one platform is your number one issue is law and order. Concern for moms, dads, everyone in our country right now. We are worried about corona. People have died. And its horrible and they focused on that last night blaming trump for that there is also the law and order aspect of this. The president was speaking about this last night he is not in the basement he is out and about and going to these Battle Ground states. Listen to what he said. Biden is just a trojan horse for socialism. He has no clue. The people arranged him are tough and smart but we disagree with them very, very strongly. They are mean and angry. But theist are people that are seriously radical left. Joe biden is nothing but their puppet. Ainsley what do you make of this . What direction is that party going . Well, we can see where they are going. Look at Kamala Harris as the running mate. And a president harris would be very bad for this country. When it comes to policy. And bear in mind joe biden is not in charge. He is not in charge. Bernie and his team are the ones. They won the agenda debate. Bernie said it last night. This is our movement. This is our agenda. And, you know, ainsley, one other thing. They talked a lot about the coronavirus. Theres a lot thats been written about how biden and obama handled h1n1 and ebola where it took them months to have a national policy. Or h1n1 whereby den and obama had different opinions and then biden wanted to actually end the testing and did on the h1n1. So, yeah, they had their fumblessen on those pandemics that came along and you never one word last night about blaming china who gave us this virus i laughed outloud when i said cuomo say it was the european virus. I thought this is ridiculous. Everybody on the global knows this came out of wuhan, china and now you are going to make people believe this is the european virus . This is ridiculous. But, they think they can rewrite history. They think they can debate the monuments in this country. They think they can pull us away from our founding. They think they can pull us away from the principles of liberty and justice and equality and the more the American People hear the more they are going to say im with donald trump. The democrats are focusing on symbolism and personality. We are focused on policies and better tomorrows for everybody. Brian right. And, of course, bill clinton and joe biden will be headlining everything tonight. Senator Marsha Blackburn. Thank you so much. Good to be with you, thank you. Brian chief of staff for joe biden on h1n1 and the fact that they beat it. Purely per throughou per do youf the mass casualties it had nothing we did right it was all luck. That was joe bidens chief of staff handling h1n1 virus unlike the coronavirus it. Walls very different. They got lucky. This country hasnt since. Meanwhile jillian mele, you have the news. So tell us whats happening with law and disorder. Jillian thats right. Seattle police releasing a body cam video overnight showing protesters shooting fireworks at officers. Listen to this.
