to peacefully demonstrate. a key objective is to ensure fire departments are able to respond to calls, we are witnessing the national guard facilitate the fire department and it is clear the fire department across the state will have their hands full. we've seen many fires, cars on fire and something not far in the distance causing a lot of flames and thick black smoke to kick up into the air. jillian: those people in this area is this contained a few blocks around the precinct or is this more widespread. >> my producer and i feel there are half a dozen locations where there are fires where there is a severe danger. there are a lot of people in and out of the shadows with bats, you heard gunshots allowed explosions, people setting up fireworks, a jolt to neighbors.

the executive order seeks to curtail legal protections for social media platforms accusing them of having an unchecked power to censure. >> executive order calls for new regulations under section 230 of the communications decency act to make it that social media companies engaged in censoring or any political context will not be able to keep their liability shield. >> reporter: it identifies companies like twitter, facebook and google for actions taken in good faith to restrict access to material, twitter reacting with this tweet. saying this is a reactionary politicized approach to landmark law section 230 protect american innovation, freedom of expression underpinned by democratic values, attempts to unilaterally erode it, for in the future of online >> internet freedoms. this was already headed to court but as the president threatened yesterday.

without stabilization as it relates to this. >> illinois, maryland and virginia opening outdoor restaurant seating today, virginia governor of northrom announcing phase 2 of the state's reopening, listen. >> i am asked when are we going to go into phase 2, the earliest we will do that is a week from tomorrow which will be june 5th the. >> reporter: in maryland, lots of protesters can be heard interrupting montgomery county executive mark l rich. >> since you have been elected. >> nothing locking down that makes anybody happy. >> reporter: not happy, upset the county is on lockdown until monday. despite serving phase i of reopening. sports fans get the go-ahead to attend outdoor games in texas,

the house past a version that went to the senate. it basically is going to let outside counsel review some fisa surveillance requests, the doj says we no longer support this. tell us what it is. >> typical washington solution to a problem that in practicality is not going to work. you have an amicus item that is going to be protecting the lawyer for you if the government wants to spy on you but what is really going to happen is you will never know the person represent you, they won't know you, you will be a name on a paper but when the case is done they will be the same wine sipping clubs in the same kennedy concerts that everybody in washington does so the goal is to make sure americans don't get spied on.

we need a solution that keeps what happened to our country, all the corruption we are finding out from happening, so we are not just protecting politicals, the president said over and over, he said if they can do this to me they can do it to you. what we don't want is a solution that says can't do it to politicians but they can still do it to the american people. we need to protect everyone. jillian: congressional caucus leader said they would oppose it. we have concerns is legislation does not protect people from warrantless surveillance was we can't in good conscience vote for legislation that violates americans fundamental right to privacy. what needs to be done to have the support it needs? >> we have to find a way to protect the american people. i don't think national security and our rights to privacy are antithetical.

these are fundamental rights that should be protected. we can do both, we can protect our nation and our nation's assets as well as protect the rights of our people. todd: thanks for getting up early with us, we appreciate it. jillian: it is 19 minutes after the hour, 40 million americans out of work since the pandemic began but how can businesses convince employees to come back while many make more money staying at home. todd: a big problem, the struggle is very real for oneself a restaurant owner who says half the staff doesn't want to come back. he joins us live coming up.

and others are making more money on unemployment than they were when they were working. joining me with this story, chef and owner of local table and newberry park, giorgio parent jelly. a lot saw this problem coming when the bill was written and it is a big problem. tell me how bad it is. >> definitely is a problem right now and might be worse moving forward. last week i was able to open my restaurant in ventura. getting ready to get back to work, including my own son.

very excited about the news. let's get back to work and let's do it. not everybody was so excited, not everybody was willing to get back to work again. that was a little bit of a struggle. >> a huge disappointment. some people are concerned about the virus and that is fair. just look at these numbers, for a half million people are on unemployment. you've got the feds giving $600 per week on unemployment in california on top of that is giving somewhere around $450 as well, 50,$000 a year on unemployment, how did the government make such a big

mistake? >> for my line of work and similar, a big percentage of employees work hourly and by staying home they could be making more money than coming back to work. it seems, a reaction that even my own son once i told him to go back to work, joking about the roof, excited and making more money than i was making, that was kind of a thing whether we will make in super proud of that, couldn't be happier. todd: we can't just reject this, can't just turn down your job

and keep collecting unemployment money. >> that is your job is available and is opened up to you, you need to accept the job or forfeit your advantage to take advantage of your employment. i am sure that a lot of people have reasons as well. people commenting fear coming back. my parents are home, they are old. and the same thing, definitely validate the reasons. todd: there are a lot of sides

to this thing. we have three restaurants, we hope you make it through this, a lot of people coming in. >> getting support from everybody, the customers, we will. todd: some italian food sounds great right now. over to you. jillian: minneapolis a smoldering mess after another night of violence a person. protesters torching a police precinct. we are live on the ground where the national guard just arrived, twitter flagging another tweet by the president after he signed an executive order to hold companies like twitter accountable. david webb says the social media giant picked the wrong battle, he joins us live.

todd: on top of breaking news in minneapolis, riots raging across the city for a night. >> reporter: officials morning the third police precinct could explode after people protesting the death of george floyd set it on fire. todd: this is such a mess, the national guard is on the ground. >> we are not far from the third police precinct building, a large line of police in squad gear and behind them another ongoing fire, one of many fires we've seen in this area. this neighborhood is under

control by the national guard but there is extensive damage and destruction left behind by losers, windows everywhere are smashed, stores have been indeed, there are gunshots near and far. people lurking in the shadows throughout the night, we have seen looters and rioters bursting into a us bank not far from here and there is thick smoke in the air and a short while ago the national guard tweeted that it sent 500 soldiers here to try to assist with helping firemen and fire crews and to preserve the ability to protest peacefully but these peaceful protests many have turned dangerous and always writing and distraction comes after a white police officer kneeled on the neck of floyd george who later died in here is his brother. >> these guys need to be

arrested, convicted of murder and given the death penalty because they took my brother's life. he will never get that back i will never see him again. my family will never see him again. his kids will never see him again. >> reporter: a short while ago the fire chief in minneapolis said he has never seen this level of violence or burning buildings, there is a large burning building not far from us right now, one of many we've seen in recent hours. >> we were just listening to that clip from george floyd's family member. his family has called out asking for peace. have you gotten the sense that people have heard that message are not listening to that? it doesn't seem peaceful at this point. >> at this hour the people we have seen out have no interest in peace, they are walking

around with bats, people firing up fireworks and guns, there are no peaceful protesters here. these are the bad actors out right now. todd: it really is sad. be safe, we appreciate it. jillian: the writer sparking protest coast-to-coast is people demand justice for george floyd from los angeles to denver, new york and columbus, ohio. overnight the situation heating up in arizona, hundreds of protesters marching through downtown phoenix, some throwing rocks and bottles at police. officers in riot gear trying to contain the angry crowds as they knockdown police barriers in los angeles and vandalize cars in denver. protesters in colorado shaken after gunshots erupted outside the state capital.

police ordering everyone to the ground as they search for the shooter and in new york more than 40 protesters arrested after clashing with police. todd: amy klobuchar facing criticism and of george floyd's death, she chose not to prosecute an officer who kneeled on -- not to charge an officer who did something similar in the past, derek jobim was involved in a deadly car chase shooting, when klobuchar was minnesota's district attorney. the week is reporting klobuchar declined to charge him at the time, klobuchar's opposite a different prosecutor made the decision because she had moved on to her senate role. >> reporter: donald trump flagged by twitter overnight calling for end to the violence in minnesota hidden by twitter and flags for, quote, glorifying

violence. todd: it came just hours after donald trump executive order curbing social media protection following twitter's fact check on his tweets about voter fraud. todd: the twitter turmoil, good to see you, thanks for being here. let's pull up the new tweet again. this might be the first time people have seen it, twitter is claiming this violates the rules about glorifying violence and you can see the president wrote here, quote, these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and i won't let that happen. the militaries with him all the way. any difficulty and we will be in control. when the looting starts the shooting starts, thank you. what are your thoughts on this? does this glorify violence? >> it is ridiculous. twitter has for some time had a serious problem and many americans have a problem with it over bias, they claim it is an

algorithm, they picked the wrong battle, poking the bear, this is the american people that are the bear. i'm wary when you get to government and free speech, companies rights to do what they want but they should review twitter at this point and see where they stand on communications decency act, liability protections. this is a ridiculous example, twitter has no way of saying this is violence, i received worse direct threats from this on twitter and they never flagged those people. those have been from public figures who make more outrageous statements. we see this every day. the president is right to call for publicly and privately. -- >> it is not political. the president called out.

this guy is very far left. is he picking on the president? >> there are actual nazis in the white house, in the trump white house. with jack dorsey providing the proof, please, i would like to see that. this is where twitter is. they are in a battle between silicon valley leftist who run algorithms and run the company and the platform. twitter business failed. they wouldn't build a tool, they could be challenged by others like parlor and other platforms. america is the top market. jillian: i don't see this ending anytime soon. we will follow it, we appreciate it.

check out david on reality check with david webb on fox nation. thank you. todd: inclement weather threatening tomorrow's historic space x launch yet again. jillian: allies on this forecast for saturday, what are you seeing right now? >> janice: the pressure is on for those forecasters. we have the same type of weather that we had the other day, showers and thunderstorms in the forecast, typically happens in the afternoon with seabreeze. we expect the same type of weather for saturday, 3:2:02 pm is when we expect the space x launch to happen. you see on future radar showers and thunderstorms in the area. there are sometimes windows of opportunity. we hope that happens but there's

a bunch of criteria they have to undergo to get this lunch happening. we will continue to monitor it and i want to mention we have a threat for severe weather across the northeast, hail, damaging winds, watch for that as well. happy friday, my friends. todd: good to see you. jillian: enjoy riding a bike with you. >> janice: i have a new bike. todd: we will be right back.

>> social distancing on airplanes. you don't need it! >> what the ceo claims are better safety measures to fight covid-19. scott kirby spoke at a conference yesterday about the airline industry, we can't be six feet apart on an airplane, middle seats or not. the united got a lot of heat on social media when pictures of packed planes during the height

of the pandemic, there we go, from twitter. facial masks aircraft cleaning it or filtration systems are better measures to fight the spread of coronavirus, the point is you can't be six feet apart on a plane. other airlines, released a partnership with clorox to make sure the planes are properly sanitized. they also say, they will switch you and refund the cash or whatever. they will be lenient with this. >> it doesn't make sense to put the plane in the air. we name a candy bar. did you ever do that? i think i did. what is known by hershey's is a yet to be named candy bar.

layers of chocolate, peanut butter cream covered in overall chocolate. if you want to submit an idea for the name, they will go to twitter and instagram, here's what you do with the context, the name of that candy bar, hashtag whatchamacallit on twitter or instagram, the winner gets 5 grand. bragging rights, hopefully you will be back up and running. todd: anything in front of the register i will take it. jillian: arson and anarchy, the national guard arriving in minneapolis to protect first responders as they put out fires set by protesters. dan bondg.i.now has that. rob: steve doocy with what is

>> i feel very badly, it is a shocking site to take a strong look and see what went on. a very bad thing that i saw. eyesight last night and didn't

like it. todd: donald trump valve there will be justice for george floyd. twitter flagging another first tweets. >> reporter: claiming the president is glorifying violence by weighing military intervention is the city think burns. the third city precinct set ablaze. todd: joining us as the author of exonerated, the failed takedown of donald trump by the swamp. good to have you on. what do you make of the situation in minneapolis? >> when i was an nypd officer under rudy giuliani, the general theory, the first person that throws a bottle gets arrested. the second person that throws a bottle gets arrested. there was no third person. the problem with civil unrest. i am a libertarian at heart. the right to assemble and protest, i lived my life for

those human rights. what you are witnessing is not that. this is straight up criminality disconnected from the tragedy of the george floyd story. fires, learning, rockthrowing and a guide from this from the other night. how this helps in any way to get justice for mister floyd is bizarre and someone needs to take charge, whether it is fry in minneapolis, they need to get their arms around this. my experience is if you don't and don't put your foot down it will get worse. >> you heard george floyd asking --'s family asking for peace, business owners who lost their livelihood as a result, you saw what happened in the third precinct that was set ablaze. you don't see police presence

out there this morning. how will they control this? how are we going to mend a broken relationship between civilians and law enforcement? >> it isn't the first step. don't know what the mayor or leadership are thinking. we've seen this before, alleged mayor jenkins told people let them that during one of the rights they had in new york and the episode with stephanie blake, the mayor in baltimore, a similar scenario. this won't do anything to do that. the way to do it is to have community meetings in political leadership with members of the faith community, civic leaders in the community and i don't want to forget justice for the family, spoken out loudly about the incident. having a full scope of the video and what we have seen it is

pretty clear that at this point george floyd was killed, possibly murdered, justice for the family will be a step in that too but this is an abomination. don't know how -- what this does at all. how will citizens in this community recover if they don't have businesses to turn to, to eat, fix their cars, this is insane. todd: people have the right to protest and they should protest but if you're a target, you don't care about tvs, you don't care about george floyd, you are there for a different reason. jillian: we will be right back. . .
