support from republicans and democrats on capitol hill, to tap top officials in the trump administration banning chokeholds under most circumstances. the white house police reform could be rolling out as early as the end of this week. liz? elizabeth: thank you, hillary vaughn in washington. back to the push by 20 cities to defund police budgets and shift money towards community-based services and community-based policing. chicago, recently suffered the deadliest day in 60 years. 18 murders in 24 hours. also this, seven shot in brooklyn in three shootings overnight. that happened just ten minutes apart. the twin cities in minnesota face hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage. we have 18 people now dead, including eight african-americans. this just in, now 19 people have been killed during the rioting. also this. leading police organizations across the country aggressive

denounce calls to defund the country's 18,000 police departments. they insist doing that will lead to more crime against poor and minority communities and shut down many businesses about. watch criminal justice reformed a very cat alice marie johnson. she was released from federal prison after her life sentence was commuted by president trump. she spoke out yesterday against defunding the police. she appeared on "hannity." watch this. >> i have family members who are police officers. i know they don't want that label put on them, the same way i didn't want a label put on me as a bad person. elizabeth: let's welcome the host of the david webb show. great to have you back on, david. your reaction? >> good to be back with you, emac. first let me say something to mitch mcconnell and to the republicans. i just heard him say what we've seen, he attached the racial name or moniker to it. we saw police brutality.

we have issues of racism but let's not conflate the two and fall into the, it's racist because it is black and white. republicans need to be smart about this and deal with issues where there is racism and police brutality. follow that evidence before we go down that path improperly. to this call, to call for defunding the police, the economics of this make no sense. if you defund the police, if you reform the police the way the minneapolis would like to do it or some more left-wing socialist democrats or black lives matter crowd that shouted down the mayor of minneapolis, jacob frey or any others, what happens? you lose when crime goes up. you lose when retail commercial property and residential property values go down. your community loses when the response is not from a trained law enforcement officer. and, you know, we can fix things with training. we can deal with issues. we can deal with the unions, in some cases protect bad officers.

elizabeth: yeah. >> but they have got to deal with these issues realistically, and what i just heard from mitch mcconnell, i'm a republican, i reject the idea going down this path of falling into the left's narrative of this is always racism. it's not always racism. elizabeth: okay, you're talking about what no one is talk about how defunding police would trigger vicious cycle. city and state, local governments are funded by property taxes. police departments are defunded, property values would plummet. city values would collapse because they wouldn't get taxes. mayors of washington, d.c. and san jose, the minneapolis council in the city of minneapolis is saying quote, basically, you know we've never done police community based, police-free future what a police-free future don't know what it looks like but our community does.

do they really know what it looks like? >> no, they don't. this is part of the left-wing of the democrat party. socialist democrats going along with the left-wing ideals. to the people of minneapolis who now have over 1000 businesses damaged or destroyed, 52 destroyed completely. companies leaving the city, what happens if those police officers and law enforcement wasn't there to stop that damage from going further? what happens to your community? we need to deal with the real issues. we need to deal with brutality. we need to deal with the financial issues but if we, if we go into law and disorder or lack of law and disorder in this country we will all pay a price while politicians sit there with their details, protected insulated from what you deal with. elizabeth: yeah. i hear you. stop the police brutality, just don't throw everything out. don't throw the whole system out because byron york is

conservative columnist, he is a says democrats in the media going toward community-based model. new york city has been doing that for a deck aid already. who steps, byron york is saying, will you send social workers in to stop the assaults, the shootings that happen in brooklyn overnight, what is going on in chicago? who, david, who will step in and do that? who steps in on drug overdoses or moving the homeless people to shelters or domestic disputes? they haven't spelled out who will really do that when you defund police budgets. listen to the head of the police union. he is saying quote, stop treating the police like animals and thugs. start treating us with respect. watch this. >> stop treating us like animals and thugs and start treating us with some respect. that is what we're here today to say. we've been left out of the conversation. we've been vilified.

it is disgusting. elizabeth: okay. so you know, you hear his frustration. in other words, painting with all cops with a broad brush. that is what he is talking about. the u.s. census shows about a third of police are minorities but there is police brutality that has to stop. your final word? >> well, my final word is. this is not always about racism. it is not always black and white. when you look at the data, not the narrative out there, it tells you that police officers are not randomly killing american citizens, black or otherwise. where there are bad cases of bad shoots, racist action or otherwise illegal action or illegal murder, well there we have a system to deal with it. the tragedy can't often be reversed obviously if it is fatal. we should put a system in to work correctly. yes. the police are there, when they're gone, it is not just who shows up, what about the people they expect to show up? will they ask social workers to

show up when someone is violating a restraining order, breaking into a house, going after an ex? elizabeth: yeah. that's the point. interesting, david webb, come back soon, we love having you on. >> anytime, my friend. elizabeth: david webb there. good to go see you, david. why senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says it is becoming clearer by the day, clear to many americans, including many who appreciate and applaud the peaceful protests there is another story. how state and local leaders are imposing a double standard on american national life. we've got republican senator kevin cramer with us on that story just ahead.

♪. elizabeth: welcome back, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, today praised the peaceful demonstrations, protesting racial injustice and killings of black americans like george floyd and breanna taylor, saying that peaceful protests are quote, beyond righteous but the senator spoke about city, state leaders, media endorsing harrowing days of looting and rioting. the senator says, quote, it is becoming clear to many americans who are now frustrated, including many who appreciate and applaud the reese protests, that our national life in america during this pandemic has slid toward a double standard. let's welcome republican senator

kevin cramer. great to have you back on. what is your take on what senator mcconnell is saying. great to be with you again sir. he says local and state leaders are picking and choosing which first amendment conduct they approach like protests but ban constitutionally protected conduct they think is less important, stopping people going to church or operating their businesses or going to weddings or blocking them from going to funerals. what is your take on this debate? >> liz, god forbid of family of 11 go to beach together, certainly we not only allow but we ought to enthusiastically participate in mass protests. there is no crone crone when it comes to that. the one thing always consistent about liberals is that they believe that the leader, whether you it's the mayor or governor, probably a president, as long as they're a liberal too, we ought to submit to that authority, and that authority will determine what we say, what we do, what we

think. so they, taken advantage of moment in my view of this pandemic. now of these protest. they have taken advantage of that, to try to further get compliance by the peasants, if you will, into what it is that they believe. frankly i think the leader is exactly right. they're exposing just how extreme they really are. elizabeth: yeah. let's let republican josh hawley of missouri sent a letter to attorney general bar asking for a probe into civil rights violations against places of worship. saying that state officials did commit violations of first amendment by favoring protests and targeting religious freedom. senator cramer, like you to listen to senator mcconnell here talking about this debate. watch this. >> for weeks state and local leaders put normal american life totally on ice and asked citizens to prioritize fighting the virus.

for weeks the mainstream media heaped scorn on any small citizen protest, outdoor gathering, while the american people did their part, they made nesac nices that clearly helped the country. but now, many feel they have just seen those fastidious regulations and puritan call zeal disappear in a instant because a new cause emerged that powerful people agree with. elizabeth: senator, i just want to give you what senator mcconnell also said. he also cited the governor of michigan posing with protest erstwhile outlawing guardenning, boating and golf. the d.a. mayor doing the same while outlawing religious places of worship, a county in california's bay area, they allowed protests of 100 people but outlawed all other social gatherings of 12 or more. how do you square this? >> if you're only conviction,

liz is to have sort of tyrannical rule as long as the ruler is a liberal all the other convictions don't mean much and the constitution doesn't really mean much. the idea, very idea you would ban worship in church while, again, not just allowing, actually championing protests by the hundreds and thousands is hypocrisy on top of hypocrisy. i just hope the exposure of it is enough to wake up the country because, quite honestly i think a lot of people have a lot of pent-up anxiety. a lot of people want to see their mother or grandmother in a nursing home, but not being allowed to by the mayor or governor. a lot of people want to visit family or want to participate in a baseball game, for example, but they're not allowed to but if they would agree to participate in a protest, unless of course it would be a pro-life protest in front of an abortion clinic, that would be just fine. in fact let me join you as the

mayor of your city. it is rich with hypocrisy. i hope people are seeing it for what it is. elizabeth: senator cramer, thanks for joining us. >> my pleasure, thank you. elizabeth: great to have you on. up next, it is a big geopolitical fight. it is now escalating. it is between the trump administration, iran and venezuela. much the push is on for new sanctions. republican congressman mark green of the homeland security committee lays out the strategy are to the u.s. just ahead. ♪ gas-x maximum strength. it works fast. relieving pressure, bloating, and discomfort before you know it. so no one needs to know you've got gas. gas-x me too. me too. and if you're a small business, we're with you. standing by you every step of the way. bye bye.

to freedom. the relationship between iran and venezuela that blossomed through the past several months. if we put pressure on transfer of i will from iran to venezuela it is a win-win. elizabeth: so what is the plan though? what is the trump administration plan? what is the republican plan? because five iran ran oil tankers arrived in venezuela last week. venezuela us facing severe fuel shortages but they had no signs of any u.s. military interference to stop them. we've had general jack keane on saying we should have blockaided venezuela. you know there are threats from the u.s. over the shipments but nothing more than that right now. what's the plan? >> well it sounds like they're going to put sanctions on those tankers and try to stop from an economic standpoint, at least at this point, we have not been told in congress there are plans to use force or to use any kind of a blockade but certainly we, we're open if the president

comes to us with that proposal. elizabeth: why, so, should there be a blockade of venezuela? >> again, i think what we've got to do is put maximum pressure on venezuela. so everything we can do to put maduro in a crisis so that we can get to the freedom, basically freedom for people get him out of office is a good thing, so yes. elizabeth: so you support that. so, i mean, so because we know that washington has more governments, seaports shippers and insurance that could face sanctions. we reported yesterday that republicans are moving to release the new push for historic sanctions against iran. what do you, what are you hearing about that? we're hearing 140 initiatives, including going after the leaders of iran and their stakes in things like their automotive empire, petrochemical businesses, and more. what's the plan there? >> sure.

the rnc launched basically a plan that has three, there are three main pillars. you're right, there is lots of different things in it, probably as much as 140 plus initiatives but the three main fees of it are blocking funds that we currently give to the lebanese military. there is an argument amongst my colleagues that that money gets to hezbollah. and then there's basically the waivers that are happening to the sanctions with iran right now. for example, allowing them to sell power to iraq. they don't want to stop that. it makes sense. iran is the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world. they are also probably the biggest security threat in the middle east. so we wanted to deprive them of revenue. i think that is a good thing. and then the third of course, is that the authorization of force. they want to basically redo the reauthorizations of force for our military that are stationed

in iraq. elizabeth: all right. congressman green, thank you so much for joining us, sir. come back soon. >> thanks. thanks for having me. elizabeth: coming up, we're taking on the escalating media melt down. why are some outlets missing the facts, messing with the facts, flat-out missing the story? we have got media research center president and founder brent bozell here with us to break it all down. that story next. ♪. when you think of a bank, you think of people in a place. but when you have the chase mobile app, your bank can be virtually any place. so, when you get a check... you can deposit it from here. and you can see your transactions and check your balance from here. you can detect suspicious activity on your account from here. and you can pay your friends back from here. so when someone asks you, "where's your bank?"

♪. elizabeth: welcome back. we turn now to the media getting criticized for misreporting a number of stories. first case, a spokesman for president george w. bush now says that "new york times" story claiming george w. will not vote for president trump is quote, completely made up and false. that george w. is retired from presidential politics and has not indicated how he will vote. let's welcome back to the show

media research center president founder, brent brozell. great to have you on, brent. "the new york times" has not updated article with that statement. your reaction? >> maybe too many editors are resigning because their staff don't like them running op-eds by senators that they don't like. this newspaper is making a mockery of journalism. how many stories have we seen, liz, "new york times" spoke with 1sources, 29 people told us, 1400 people say, they never cite any source they have get caught over and over with a story isn't true. here we go again. this is something really simple. if it is true, then you have somebody on the record who is saying it and that person comes forward and he says the president told me so, what have you. this is just a hit, a hit, a hit, a hit on the president.

they have been doing this since 2015. it's shameful but i think the public is seeing through to it. elizabeth: yes it is pretty clear that the bush family members have not voted for trump. the story cites people familiar with his thinking but nothing more than that. let's move on to the next case, brent. media and democrats have been attacking and lecturing people protesting against draconian stay at home covid-19 shut-in order that outlawed gardening or painting their houses as their small businesses collapse but when rioting and looting hit, riots that eventually killed 19 people including eight african-americans, smashed and ruined dozens of minority-owned businesses, wounding at least 500 cops and law enforcement the media and democrats told a different story. watch this. >> it is dangerous. these people can take this home with them and hurt their families all the rest. >> i would like to ask them if they're willing to sign away right to treatment if and when they get infected.

>> who the hell do you think you are? what is wrong with people. i don't understand what is wrong with people? stay at home. >> this is emotionally a protest. it is not, it is not generally speaking unruly but fires have been started. >> destroying property which can be replaced is not violence. >> please, show me where it says that protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful? >> heart-warming to see so many people turn out peacefully across the country. it is bringing people together, community with unity. elizabeth: your reaction to that, brent? >> i don't know how to react to this? h all the stories in the media about irresponsibility of people being on beaches. all the stories in the media about being irresponsible going to church. i might add, members of congress, governors too, not just the media with all the

statements they made, my god for sake ken governor in virginia being one of them. and the mobs out there, imagine yourself, liz, being a police officer, talk about bringing people together, imagine being a police officer and having to stand there, your job is to protect the public and you're standing there and there is someone in your face who is saying no justice, no peace and then f the police and taunting you while 50 people stand around with phones, ready to snap a picture should you as a policeman take one step forward? imagine what they're going through now. think about all those leftists who are on national television right now talking about a peaceful, wonderful life we have, imagine being a member of the police today. we ought to thank them. elizabeth: next case, george washington university law professor jonathan turley is slamming the media for widely

dismissing, not covering the recent revelations of obama administration officials including joe biden and obama's chief of staff going after michael flynn. demanding that flynn's name be released in intelligence report in unmasking. he is also blasting the media for not reporting the chilling details of prominent figures who pushed trump russia collusion on the media like susan rice and james clapper but then behind closed doors, testifying to house intelligence they had no proof of that. jonathan turley, brent, is also saying, where is the media coverage of joe biden and barack obama monitoring and keeping close tabs on the trump russia probe, basically, the use of u.s. intelligence powers to investigate a political opponent when there was no there there as rod rosenstein, deputy attorney general who is now, no longer at doj, he testified to that. so jonathan turley is really slamming the media's poor

coverage on that. your reaction, brent? >> jonathan turley no right-winger. what we have looking at here, we have the media that mocked president trump for months, mocked him, when he said that the obama administration was spying on his campaign and on his transition team. they mocked him for it. now we know what? now we know that they were eavesdropping on them, they were spying on the trump, on the trump camp but what we know even more now, they had no evidence when they were doing it and still haven't provided a motive. they are spying on their fellow man and this spying goes to the very top of the obama administration. we're about to release some numbers. i will give you the numbers now for the month of may to prove professor turley is entirely correct. network news coverage of the spying on the american people by the government of the united states trying to destroy people, trying to destroy general flynn, less than 2 1/2 minutes of

coverage. elizabeth: brent, you know, to what you're saying too, jonathan turley also is asking, what if the george w. bush administration had done the same to the incoming obama administration? your final word? the media, he is saying would have exploded. your final word? >> two words, richard nixon. remember how they went after richard nixon and all the things that he was doing that were anti-american. look what this administration, what the obama administration has been doing. look how they have been trying to systematically destroy -- elizabeth: nixon administration did break the law. >> they broke the law but they didn't like -- elizabeth: fbi, irs, secret service. go ahead. >> how do, i think, i think laws have been broken by the obama administration and that the media were all over nixon trying to investigate it, where are they now with obama? elizabeth: okay. brent bozell, thank you so much. appreciate you coming on. come back soon. >> thank you, liz.

mcenany called out the media that the chinese coronavirus was not as bad as the flu. we saw "the washington post," "new york times," national public radio, all downplaying the impact that the virus was going to have. the contrast was this, president, as soon as he herd about the virus, banned flights coming in from china unless you were an american citizen coming home. that saved potentially tens of thousands of lives. he gets no credit for his swift reactions. elizabeth: so what is the implication of this with heart slashed finding this out. people come frog china, traveling around the world infecting people this, is devastating for a lot of developed countries with good health systems in europe but south america, cory, is now on the brink. south america is now called the new epicenter of the pandemic. mexico, columbia, venezuela, argentina, brazil getting hit hard. china's coverup is triggering

all of this. corey, we have a major emerging debt market crisis right on our backdoor step? >> we know that the people of china have not only been dishonest with the united states but with the people of the world. we need to make sure they're held accountable for that. either they lied to the world health organization or the world health organization didn't do their due diligence when they said this virus couldn't be spread from person-to-person contact. we've seen that, now china consistently lied to the world about the human rights violations, about the stealing of intellectual property. we know that they continued to devalue their currency. we knew that they continued to dump their products on u.s. soil to give them advantage. we know that they have lied about when and where this coronavirus started. don't forget, liz, they're the same ones who tried to blame the u.s. army for bringing the virus to china, when the president called them out on it, there was not a ripple from the media for that. and remember this, one other thing. nancy pelosi called the

coronavirus an inconvenience, not once did the media call her out on that. elizabeth: i hear what you're saying. you know, what harvard did was pretty straightforward. they used techniques similar to what the cia, corey, and the defense intelligence agency used they used satellite imagery and observed major traffic outside of five would you where would you hahn region. they people asking about symptoms similar, same symptoms you get with covid-19. the spike higher in china. people in china searching for that information as they were getting sick with covid-19. your final word on this, cory? >> china cannot be believed with anything they tell us. most of the time the trade deals we have are not worth the paper

they're printed on. fortunately for the american people the president is talking about the impact and the way china has been ripping us off for over a decade. he is the first president to start to key couple our economy from china. so that we are no longer aligned on their falsehoods and their lies to make sure the american people are safe. elizabeth: cory lewandoski, thanks for joining us. come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: next up a protest. 300 people showed up. it quickly turned into violence. it happened at an ice processing san bernardino county in california on sunday. ended up with looting, ransacking the building, burning the american flag, smashing windows. 44 vehicles smashed. i.c.e. officers and police officers fending off demonstrators, hurling rocks, bottles and more. we'll talk to retired i.c.e. acting director tom homan about how officials there were worried about the you will legal
