>> the democratic party is a diverse coalition, they tell you that relentlessly but diversely does not mean democrats are united. increasingly it means a party defined by identity politics. the democratic party, skin color matters above all. sometimes some colors are good, some colors are bad. your worth as a person depends on what you look like. america is not a racist country. america elected barack obama twice overwhelmingly and look in the numbers, americans believe our national identity is not defined by skin color. this is all so tiresome. such a total distraction from things that actually matter like jobs. democrats think they are going to get elected on that. they don't understand the rest of the country finds it boring and stupid and repugnant. >> several 2020 democrats are delving into the issue of race with several voicing in support incapacity.

will have tanks stationed outside. >> reporter: a number of democrats are not happy about that, turning the independence day celebration into his personal campaign rally. >> it is a partisan act. what he is doing is a partisan act. politicizing 4 july before he opens his mouth. >> reporter: another concern from lawmakers is the price tag which is not been disclosed. the american people deserve to know how much of their money the president is spending to turn the fourth of july celebration into a campaign rally. one area the president will save a few bucks is fireworks, yesterday he tweeted thanks to phantom fireworks and fireworks by gucci for their generosity in donating the biggest fireworks show washington dc has ever seen adding it will be the greatest fourth of july celebration in our nation's history. a number of counter protests are

>> he was responding to a question by tucker carlson, an obvious question considering how much homelessness has been in the news, the president gave his honest opinion about it that it is a horrible thing that makes our country look bad, bad for the people on the streets, bad for the community. if you would love to do something about it, that is in the president's nature that he likes to tackle problems but this is one he should leave alone. california is the wealthiest state in the country. it is the highest taxed state in the country. no excuse for not having properly addressed this problem. donald trump has delivered the great economy, historically low unemployment. california has no excuse for not fixing this problem on its own. jillian: let's hear from the president, what he has to say. >> this is the liberal establishment, this is, looking serious -- may intercede, may do

something to get that cleaned up. jillian: we will see what he ends up doing or not doing, you say he should not get involved. one of the changes to city ordinances is decriminalize homelessness. do you think that in itself needs to be done? >> know. i don't agree with that. we have seen in california the hands-off approach by police, some has been four quartered as it led to the problem. the easier you make it the more you cater to the homeless and decriminalize and provide service, one of the big ideas in los angeles is to start paying the homeless for picking up their own trash. and providing showers for the man's trash collection and bathrooms to make it more comfortable for them. these liberal policies are assuming it is okay to live on the streets. it is not okay for people on the street and not okay for the neighbors.

local solutions are required here. communities gather around here need to one by one approach these homeless people, find out their situations and get them placed. rob: the palisades in los angeles, your neighborhood has increased homelessness and it has gotten worse in other parts of the city. what did the palisades do? >> reporter: that is why i'm making this point about local communities because i'm seeing it in my own community. i used to have to step over homeless literally to walk to the beach and they aren't there anymore. we are down to 60% over the last 3 years, then without any government solutions. it was all done locally through local contributions in our community. they raise $200,000 a year to handle this, they had two full-time employees, they make it clear the way to address this is engage homeless people on a daily basis, not a monthly basis, daily basis, they were connected homeless with family members, got them in permanent shelters and this one by one approach in the community has

worked and surrounding communities look to the palisades to copy what they have been doing it this is without government assistance. jillian: you saw that number of half-million homeless people in the us. look at this tweet from governor greg abbott slamming the ordinance saying, quote, look at this insanity called by austin's reckless policy? all solutions are on the table including eliminating local immunity for damages and injuries like this caused by a city's homeless policy, the horse stories are piling up, final word and we've got to go. >> we have to recognize their two issues, the homeless need help and neighbors deserve a safe community with sidewalks free of homeless people. those are the two goals set side-by-side and it is okay to pursue those goals. rob: that tweet was talking about a car accident that caused

jillian: in the outer over murder charges in the killing of a nice fighter. >> thank god i am leaving here with my wife. rob: here to break down the trial captivated many across the

country, thanks for coming on. what did you make of yesterday today? >> reporter: the military justice system works. this jury, 7 battle hardened marines and a navy officer listened to the judge and the evidence and rendered a verdict that remember, they had to prove this case unanimously, only 6 out of 7, 3 quarters of the jury were required to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. the prosecution failed. they found him guilty of posing with a corpse which is a federal conviction which he will have on his record the rest of his life. the system worked. jillian: what did we learn going forward? >> reporter: a few things. you need to move to the point where you have career prosecutors and career defense counsel. i am a captain in the navy

reserves, defenders around the country have career tracks and having a lieutenant try this case would be a misdemeanor prosecutor in most da offices and whether inexperienced prosecutor brought these charges is something to think about but the fact is government font they could prove this beyond reasonable doubt and failed. senior chief gallagher is acquitted of the most serious charges but has a federal conviction. the military can now try to fire him administratively so his challenges to stay in the navy are not over. rob: let's look at what he was found not guilty of. as we look at those over, it does seem there was

prosecutorial, real mistakes made. they didn't have the evidence they needed and there was that moment the guy on the stand says i am the one that killed him. how does the prosecution make a mistake like this? seems really irresponsible? >> lack of experience. when i was a federal prosecutor, if you had a cooperating witness and got to the point you wanted to give that person immunity, you would do a 360 ° wraparound discussion with the person to make sure there was no wiggle room so they could say something favorable to the other side and they did not debrief petty officer scott thoroughly. to say what he said on the stand. the government said he did not tell the truth or consistent statement with what he said during the debrief. they say they are looking at perjury charges. if that is the case they might be.

the prosecution during the trial when the medic blurted that off, should have torched him on cross-examination and held him to account. clearly didn't have the experience to do that and that must've had some factor as this jury deliberated for 5 hours. rob: a fox news alert, fbi warning of terrorist threats on fourth of july celebrations, the dhs and national counterterrorism center, no known attacks, they stay vigilant and last week isis released two images on manhattan and the white house. >> reporter: a major security breach at a us air force base, more than 1000 documents allegedly taken from ohio's
