in disney world and play eight games before the playoffs. >> universal orlando reopening to the public, facemasks required, temperatures will be taken, social distancing enforced, they are back open today. >> have a good day. "fox and friends" starts right now. goodbye. >> 5:00 on the east coast and we start this friday june 5th telecast with a fox news alert. a tense night of protests after the death of george floyd. demonstrations being mostly peaceful. and >> clashing with protesters. in 24 hours after a series of attacks against officers. >> new york's curfew runs through sunday. and listed their issues.

and and lauren green starts coverage, with tensions there overnight. >> it was the eighth night of protests, tensions continue to arise. and this means clashing with - and in the berkeley center with much violence earlier this week. and protesters made their way through city streets. and that is when the scrimmages started. there was a gap between the streets.

dozens were arrested. some of the officers were terror related but they are coming under scrutiny for the way they handled several encounters with protesters. police commissioner dermot shea admonishing protesters but admitted there may be some police culpability. >> the investigations are progressing as fast as possible in the middle of a riot situation. without a doubt it will be a couple officers suspended. >> they held a memorial for george floyd. floyd's brother terrence

addressed the crowd thanking them for their support but reminding them the protests took place. >> i'm proud of the protests but i'm not proud of the destruction. my brother wasn't about death. the floyds are god-fearing family. >> more demonstrations throughout the city. brian: thank you very much and you can see behind her it has been a rainy night. that contributed to the fact that not so many protesters, lifting their curfews, will that mean more people come out? when you look at new york city

the mayor and police commissioner said enough is enough, demonstrations go past their time we will start arresting people and last night they did. here is the problem for police on the streets and that is they are working big shifts and are exhausted and the former top cop in new york city says the mayor may need to call in the national guard. >> the nypd has 38,000 police officers. i am starting to think if this continues for a couple more nights we need the national guard. something has to be done. police officers are working -- working 12 hour tours, no days off, they are exhausted. they have been hit by bricks, trash cans. arrests are being made, but because of the new bail reform laws they are turning around and coming out the precinct a couple

hours after -- >> that is the frustrating part. they put their lives on the line every day and a -- they are hit with bricks and water bottles filled with concrete. it is a dangerous job and they need backup if they are going to continue at this rate. >> the contrast with what is happening in dc, law and order was restored and as i was reporting for you, peaceful protests, thousands turned out since the order was restored but there is now a political fight breaking out over the mayor taking on the president and eat 16 national guard troops from

the area locally but we will see where it goes and whether order needs to be restored here. jillian: ray kelly, the commission you heard from, in new york city's history, talked about what bill diblasio is doing, limiting the officers, can't do their job. with police 50 times, that is way too much involvement. you see these images of the police officer hit by the car in the bronx and you see the image in herald square two days ago. when the officer was hit with a fire extinguisher and the officer was stabbed in brooklyn, we need to come together as a country and stop this and deal with the issues of race and get the bad apples out so we can move forward. brian: the officer who was stabbed, sounds like they are trying to figure out why the guy did it.

they are looking into whether it could be related to terror. stay tuned. as i mentioned a moment ago, the rain, overnight thunderstorms on protesters in washington dc taking a nearly dangerous turn for two national guardsmen who were at their posts in lafayette square. mark meredith is live with more and the problem with standing in a thunderstorm is there is thunder and lightning. >> reporter: we saw strong storms in the dc area. as you mentioned, for those men and women working in lafayette park, it was a mess. two military personnel taken to the hospital tied to injuries from the lightning strike, their condition is not life-threatening. that is the good news but we saw multiple strike throughout the night and into this morning.

more bad weather is forecast for today, that could make things difficult later on. it is unclear how many people could show up to protest later today, we did not have a curfew in dc, the mayor's office can always put another one in if she chooses to. this as the attorney general says the protests we have seen were targeted by outside groups, the white house stepped up its physical security around lafayette park, now we have seen new fencing put up on seventeenth street, areas surrounding the old executive office building. it is a mess out here. you see them cleaning up right now but we have seen so much trash, when you have thousands of people coming out to protest this is the aftermath that came with it, they are trying to clean it up. we got out here at 4:00 am.

steve: what are using in terms of garden law enforcement police presence? that has been the last few days, i have seen them not take their hand off the wheel in terms of maintaining the footprint of enforcement. >> reporter: the police are out here in traffic is shut down, hard to see it but the streets are blocked off to cars, pedestrians able to come and go. there are people still out here. police shutdown general traffic, that could change as the day goes on, so friday, still workday. interesting to see what happens throughout the afternoon. ainsley: yesterday william barr in law enforcement officers including the fbi director christopher ray had a virtual briefing and talked about these riots and how antifa and foreign actors are exploiting george floyd's protest. listen to them.

>> such senseless acts of anarchy are not exercises of first amendment rights, they are crimes designed to terrify fellow citizens and intimidate communities. there are groups that exploit the opportunity to engage in such crimes as looting. we have evidence that antifa and similar extremist groups have been involved in instigating and participating in the violent activity. there are some groups that don't have a particular ideology other than anarchy. we are dealing with as i said -- jillian: >> reporter: he went on to take some questions and someone asked what they are going to do about race relations with the police department and he said he is going to meet with the presidential commission on law enforcement later this month. the doj will do its part in the

fbi director christopher ray said we would bring justice to anyone inciting violence. steve: when the president made william barr the attorney general, the point person on the washington dc response, he brought with him the full force of the department of justice and couple days ago he authorized the dea to survey all and figure out who these violent agitators are and they have been -- they authorize 14 days to use surveillance so it will be interesting to see if they are able through cell phone data and things like that to figure out who these people are, how they are communicating, if they are coordinating and if somebody is funding them. there have been rumors about things like that but the full force of the federal government behind them they should be able

to figure out whether this is coordinated and who these extremists are. you mentioned antifa and foreign actors all trying to co-opt the peaceful protest of george floyd, it is a lot, and i might get caught for something i did a week ago because the federal government - >> i have been communicating with antifa identify organizers in dc. they began to ramp up their protests when the president was inaugurated. i have been covering them. they said to me in private they acknowledge they are escalating their tactics because what they have been doing wasn't working. we will see where that goes. couldn't speak to the funding of them but a very long and passionate text i got from one

of dcf detectives, outrageously emailing me because of funding proposals that are coming. look across the country, we show you this map in los angeles a push to cut 100-$150 million from the lapd budget in new york city where you are, a push for $1 billion in cuts from nypd budget, phoenix push for $186 million in cuts, nashville, tennessee residents call for cuts to additional $2.6 million for police. i know you are city council, the finance committee calling for cuts. ainsley: we are divided. a lot of people feel strongly about it. the president is calling for law and order saying we need more officers out there hoping to bring in the national guard. there was a gentleman, brian wright, former cia officer on tucker and he said our country

is on fire and he was pleading with someone to intervene and do something. >> the piece you mentioned, no more police because we will defund those folks, can't put forward the national guard because of the escalation so that would kickoff the military from the table. what does that leave? let me tell you what it means. vigilante justice. you and me and everybody watching this program arming ourselves. is that how we run a republic? no, it is not. you do not want a country that goes there. that is precisely where the nation is headed and we need all our region to understand that. secretary as per doesn't understand the oath is to protect ourselves from threats foreign and domestic get out of the pentagon and let somebody lead who gets it because that, he took, i took, the people of this country demand of our leadership in this country because we are on fire. someone do something about it.

ainsley: we look to the president, will he convene some sort of a summit on police brutality and bring in different voices? that would be great to start at the top, the president made clear he wants to do what he can to fix it but going to the larger point of defunding the police which has become an important rallying cry from the political left, there is a perfect storm going on for this to happen. part of it is our economy was trashed because of covid-19. at the same time crime is down. in new york city alone, $9 billion short on funding because of tax revenue, $9 billion. that is why they are calling for $1 billion worth of cuts to the police. they might actually get them.

>> we will see in your state senators are making this their rallying call as we run into the election, an interesting situation. we will talk a lot more about that but now let's turn to joy to see what we have with headlines. >> a fox news alert, minneapolis he council will vote on a proposal to dismantle the city's police department. the council president tweeting yes, we are going to dismantle the minneapolis police department and replace it with a transformative new model of public safety. it comes after the city said goodbye to george floyd during an emotional memorial. ♪ >> look at your neighbor and sing hallelujah. jillian: we will have a live report for minneapolis later this hour. to extreme weather.

emergency declared in louisiana ahead of tropical depression i cristopbal, governor edwards says they are not taking chances. it moved across mexico, days of rain and flooding. it is expected to strengthen to a tropical storm before landing on the gulf coast sunday night. remember when hillary clinton said this during the 2016 campaign? >> you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. jillian: joe biden may have had a similar moment during a virtual townhall. listen to this. >> we think this is as good as we can be as a nation? i don't think the vast majority of people think that. 10% to 50% of people are just not very good people. jillian: it is unclear who he was referring to. he said we need to bring people together. i will send it back to you.

ainsley: 85 percent-90% of people? a navy veteran held hostage by iran is back on us soil after the trump administration negotiated his release. dan hoffman joins us next on what this means with the strategy going forward. when we started our business

>> donald trump ramps up for law and order after violent clashes across the country, to instigate the division to discuss it, cia station chief dan hoffman, i want to get your reaction to william barr on what is in these

elements of rioters and leaders and disruption. >> the first thing i have highlighted is we've seen china, russia and iran mounting a full court press and state run media. as for whether there is a covert campaign to foment violence, it is possible there is something going on. our country is wide open to exploitation. this is the strength to our country, open democracy, vulnerabilities for nefarious actors, and over to the trump administration to produce evidence to support that so proper levels of prosecution can take place.

steve: you spent your entire adult professional life assessing threats to this nation and the american people. how serious a threat is this with groups like antifa? what does it say that we have a defunding of the police effort underway politically? >> defunding the police looks to me as a concerned citizen like an extreme measure. it is broadening so expansively beyond what we saw a couple weeks ago the tragic death of george floyd. as far as whether these groups are subjected to foreign influence and funding we need to put a case together. there needs to be evidence of that. we've seen plenty of evidence in the past, russian covert efforts to influence our election in 2016 by hacking into the clinton campaign, the dnc and using social media to influence public discourse. that is one way.

the other way might be on the ground efforts to infiltrate groups. that is another thing we need to be prepared for. these are early days, we need to produce the evidence. steve: the other big story this morning's u.s. navy veteran michael wright, the first american detained by iran during donald trump's administration back on the ground at 2:00 am, a few hours of sleep on the plane and had a dinner which was pretty good. here's a little bit of what he said. listen. >> i am happy to be back. i've been some free but i would extend thanks to donald trump for his efforts diplomatically and otherwise, making america great again. >> your reaction? >> this is an extraordinary

success for the trump administration, so difficult to conduct hostage negotiations with the country like iran in which we do not have diplomatic relations. since its inception viewers will recall iran took hostages in 1979 and held them for 444 days. they do it to gain leverage. the fact that we were able to negotiate this deal while maintaining the trump administration maximum pressure on iran countering the nuclear and ballistic missile program and state sponsor of terrorism is kudos to mike pompeo. >> brian the hood, the diplomat on the front lines, thank you for taking time this morning. the push to defund the police taking hold in places like los angeles and more and more major

cities looking to follow suit. our law enforcement panel calls a slap in the face next. just over a year ago, i was drowning in credit card debt. sofi helped me pay off twenty-three thousand dollars of credit card debt. they helped me consolidate all of that into one low monthly payment. they make you feel like it's an honor for them to help you out. i went from sleepless nights to getting my money right. so thank you. ♪

angeles as well as communities of color, women and people who have been left behind for too long. those involved cuts of course to every department including the police department. ainsley: here to discuss defunding the cops are law enforcement panel for this friday morning, suffolk county new york sheriff harold to lynn junior, retired new york city cop lieutenant joe cardinal and former new york city police lieutenant doctor darren porcher. there is a perfect storm of elements contributing to this. we heard a talking point from the political left and progressive and it comes in the wake of the killing of george floyd but also in the wake of covid-19 and budgets will have

to be cut because we don't have tax revenue going forward. something has got to give and now they say it just takes money for the cops. >> good morning and thank you for having me on. it is a huge issue that comes to law enforcement, health services, social services and even closing prisons. two things that always occur when law enforcement fails with training and supervision, and you will see in my 30 years of law enforcement, you will see a better police force, that training has to be continuous. ainsley: steve: you were in the new york city police department because of covid-19, facing a $9 billion revenue poll essentially. calling for a $1 billion cut and

john mayer says no but at the same time where will he get the money? >> wherever he gets the money shouldn't be from the police department. this is the time they need to increase funding for the police. the public has to be careful, they are not asking to defund the police but to get rid of the police. there is a big difference. california is going to get what they deserve. you cannot cut funding to the first line of defense, you need to increase it, do more training, give them more training, but cutting back absolutely not because it will be a disaster if they do. steve: it is not defunding but getting rid of the police that some people have in mind.

>> i agree but we have to consider the revenue impact on us on a national level. bigger than that we need to look at protection for small business and coming back in the wake of covid-19. we've made tremendous strides in reducing crime and over the last 15-20 years, this is the result of the advent of technology. was we need to do is make some adjustments and focus more so on the community policing aspect. as opposed to receiving purchases of results. steve: last night was the tentative protest in new york city alone, 500 complaints have been lodged against police officers, the commissioner apologized.

>> for our part in the damage to civility and racial bias on excessive force, unacceptable behavior and many other things we are human. i am sorry. are you? >> he said he was sorry and went on to say they are reviewing 7 incidents of misconduct and suspensions are likely. >> i can't speak to dermot shea but what we can do, i am sure he is trying to heal police relations with the community. no one is apologizing for all police officers being assaulted whether they are hit by a car or assaulted. someone needs to apologize to the police for that.

>> you know what the problem is? no one knows how police department operate from the inside out. no one knows what the police go through before all this but they see it on tv, spitting in their face, getting hit with bricks, nobody knows what cops go through. you don't cut them slack but you cut protesters and rioters slack and get them out of jail the next day. if a cop gets loud that is understandable under the circumstances when you are pelted with water bottles and everything else. to make an apology, cops under these conditions, he is saying listen, i understand, sorry if any of them did this, we are human and that is the thing. people don't see cops as being human. they see them as uniform that gave him a ticket, arrested

them, did something but don't see what the cops go through every single day protecting us. steve: you are absolutely right, they just see that 7 second clip. you we give you the final word. >> i understand an apology but this is in the time. by apologizing at this stage you give the rioters legitimacy and the badge of honor. we need to do things the violence has released these riots and get to a position that we can introduce apologies and speak to the back end of this after we conduct after action review. as a result we need to focus on what is at the top, the apex, distinguishing the violence we have with these rioters. steve: we thank you very much for joining us on this friday. have a good weekend.

ainsley: you have some amazing video. >> janice: yes. thunder and lightning in and around new york city last night actually woke my family up but in dc we have video of a lightning strike at the washington monument. it is all over twitter. incredible video. we had some injuries because of this lightning. you got to take it seriously when you have these thunderstorms, the lighting potentially not only injuring but life-threatening so we will continue to watch those storms but incredible video on social media. tropical storm cristobal has weakened the last 24 hours but we expect the storm to regain strength as it moves over the warm waters of the gulf of mexico and landfall in louisiana but the eastern side of the gulf coast needs to be prepared for

heavy rain. we will have gusty winds, flooding rainfall is going to be the biggest factor especially if it gets into the new orleans area which is very flood prone. this will be a big story. we don't think it will become a hurricane but a trust strong tropical storm is still going to bring life-threatening results when it comes to heavy rain and flooding and we will probably see watches and warnings posted later on part of the gulf coast but east of the center of the storm, louisiana, mississippi, alabama, georgia, florida need to be on alert, this will be a big rainmaker. >> great video. it terrified my dog was digging underneath me and our thoughts and prayers are out for those

ainsley: how do they do it? >> as we sat there horrified watching looters go to local businesses throughout the country, here in los angeles and everywhere, stores and videos, many use video that is recorded in a cloud elsewhere. you saw these looters turning down the store, still got you on camera. been a by standards for looting have their phones out and recording. it is also on social media. police and the fbi calling for that to be uploaded and they can use, cars with license plates,

full of merchandise. >> the devices we have in our hands as they track us, they can tell verizon or wherever it is, is it easy for law enforcement to get access for that? in other cases there has been controversy, they won't give information about tariffs and other criminals. >> this is one time we don't want, that is absurd. the protecting the rights of a leader would be absurd. the answer is the reality is it will take detectives working on this, federal agents going to a judge and saying we have reasonably that so and so is at this crime scene at this time. could we have the location data from their phone. the judge likely says yes, matching photo or suspicious photo or any other evidence and

as soon as that happens it is turned over to phone companies, wireless carrier knows exactly where you are all the time, to say nothing of the fact that google and facebook, apps we often use granted them permission to know our data. we might not be sharing that but they still have that information and are able to turn it over to the police. will big tech help out bringing looters to justice? time will tell. ainsley: law enforcement is overwhelmed right now. charles payne and dan bun gino coming up. .

peacefully. >> i'm proud of the period of times but i'm not proud of the destruction. [applause] my brother wasn't about that. thgod fathering family. >> mayor de blasio was at the memorial. weighs booed quite loudly. demonstrations, meanwhile are planned for today throughout the city. back to you, steve, griff, ainsley? steve: lauren mentioned bill de blasio, the mayor yesterday said the rules are the rules. and right now the curfew starts at 8:00. hundreds of people stayed up past it and the mayor said enough is enough and last night they started to arrest people. and then a number of the people said hey, what are you doing?

we were protesting peacefully. but, at the same time, they said look, we are just following the instructions and right thought curfew is at 8:00. meanwhile today in minneapolis, they could actually take the first steps in dismantling the police department. that's right. i said dismantling the minneapolis police department. this on the day after the memorialselves for george floyd. griff: matt finn is in minneapolis with the reaction from the family. matt, good morning. >> good morning to you guys. just in a few hours the minneapolis city council is set to hold an emergency meeting where it is likely going to move forward with the first steps of dismantling its police department. a major american city moving forward plans to abolish police system here. of the city council is expected to vote on a court order approving outlining these changes. at least three minneapolis city

council members have now publicly spoken or tweeted about dismantling the police department. jeremiah ellison tweeted we are going to dismantle the minneapolis police department. when we're done we are not simply going to but there it back together. we are going to dramatically rethink how we approach public safety and emergency responses. minneapolis city council yes we are going to dismantle the minneapolis police department and transform it with a transformative new model of public safety. so suggestions instead of traditional police, residents can rely more on city resources for smaller offenses like vandalism and parking violations and use more rehabilitation and communityselveses for mental health crises and threats. and what will happen in a major life threatening crime for an emergency is not entirely clear. today's meeting comes one day after the memorial yesterday for george floyd here in minneapolis. reverend al sharpton gave the yumg.

celebrities like kevin hart attended and floyd family shared some light-hearted memory us. >> go outside and, you know, play catch with a football and i used to say to myself like man, you can't throw. you can't throw at all. he said i can throw but i just wanted you to go get the ball. >> i played sports. he did. it kind of connected us. he is the biggest lebron james fan with everybody grieving and hurting. he would want us to feel like we won a championship. >> this morning the three other officers aside from derek chauvin seen in that george floyd video are being held on 750,000 to $1 million bond. they are charged with aiding and abetting murder. back to you guys. ainsley: hey, matt, i know the city council is having emergency meeting to disband the police department today at 12:30. any idea what that looks like. does that mean all the officers in the police department will get fired? do we have any answers?

>> it's a very broad question. we actually started reporting on this last summer. and the suggestion is that there is more diversity, more representation from community and there are posters and signs all over this city that give advice on what to do instead of calling police. turning to city resources. reef thinking about calling police. so, there is a lot of ideas and a lot of suggestions being thrown out there, ainsley. ainsley: thank you, matt. steve: it will be interesting to see how that takes shape. great question, ainsley. meanwhile, yesterday, at the department of justice, the attorney general bill barr had a press conference to answer questions about what is going on because he is the federal point personal on how this is being handled in washington, d.c. and elsewhere. and at one point he was asked about hey, you are the point person. initially, on monday, the story was and griff knows because he

was there, the story was that they cleared out of lafayette park so that the president could go over to st. john's for that photo op. that was the original reporting. not true. bill barr said yesterday that the reason they made a tactical change, and that walls to move the perimeter a block away was because so many officers were injured. here is the attorney general. listen. >> from saturday until today, there were 114 injuries to law enforcement. most of those to federal agents and most of those inflicted right around the white house. there were 22 hospitalizations. the justice department is also working closely with our state and local partners to address violent riots around the country. i urge governors and mayors and other state and local leaders to work closely with the national guard and with us.

steve: so what he said was they had made the determination they were going to move the perimeter as griff knows because he was standing next to the fence a block away before he knew that the president of the united states was going to go over to the church. he says it was unrelated. they also, and this is important, he said that the federal government has evidence that extremists, including antifa, part of the agitation of all of this, and certain foreign actors have also hijacked these protests to push their agenda, griff. griff: you know, steve, i have been there and watched all this unfolded. one of the things that is not talked about enough is what these officers, whether they are guardsmen or law enforcement. and, steve, what they personally go through trying to keep the order. remember, they are there to provide the space for these

protesters to exercise their first amendment rights but ultimately keep them safe while doing it. we had a law enforcement panel earlier. here is some of what the folks that are on the front lines had to say. now, unfortunately, no one is apologizing for all the police officers assaulted whether hit by a car or hit with a brick or assaulted. somebody needs to apologize to the police for that. >> we need to distinguish the violence as it reels to the bias. what we need to do is possibly make some adjustments and focus on the community policing aspect. >> nobody knows what cops go through. you don't cut them any slack. you can't cut the cops any slack. you will cut protesters and cut rioters slack and cut them out of jail the next day. griff: what's interesting is we also forget that early this morning there are law enforcement -- some 3,000 guards mental and tons of law enforcement here in the nation's capital and all across the country waking up tired after taking a lot of grief and they

will do it again today without complaint. ainsley: yes. you are absolutely right, griff. they are working, some of them are working around the clock. and the commissioner said he has, i think, gotten three days of sleep in the first five days of all these protests. move onto the election. joe biden had a virtual town hall with black supports cleegd don cheadle the actor. and he was talking about americans and a percentage of them are not good people. listen. >> i the words the president sas matters. when a president stands up and divides people all the time, you will get the worst of us to come out. do you really think this is as good as we can be as a nation? i don't think the vast majority of people think that they are probably anywhere 10% to 15% of the people out there just not very good people. but that's not who we are. the vast majority of people are decent. we have to appeal to that and we have to unite people. bring them together. bring them together.

ainsley: lots of questions after he said that who are these 10% to 15% in his opinion? is that a number of all americans? is that democrats? republicans? many people waking up this morning hearing that and have questions. steve: yeah. anxiously, you have got to figure the trump campaign is already carving that up into some sort of online video meme for the internet. but, a lot of people are also saying, hey, waited, did he just have his hillary clinton deplorables moment because, remember, it was back in the day. hillary clinton said, you know, you could characterize half of donald trump's supporters as being in a basket of deplorables. and it's also similar to what mitt romney said, he was caught on cell phone camera saying that essentially 47% of the country would never support him as president because they are on some sort of government

assistance, mitt romney said back in the day. now, griff, it looks like joe biden has a viral moment on his hands. griff: yeah, maybe joe biden will clarify who he is talking about. remember, this is a man who has been in politics for more than four decades and he just violated one of the golden rules which is don't alienate the electorate. don't discount potential voters at a moment like this and flexion point. it will be interesting to see whether or not, ainsley, if he will pay politically for it. ainsley: some top law enforcement officials are really upset with him. he prided himself on being a union friendly democrat with a good relationship with the rank and nile cops. now he is calling for more national police reform and oversight. bill johnson, who is the executive director of the national association of police organizations which is a huge organization. it's the umbrella organization for the police benevolent association. he said making changes because of the primary process he feels

like he has flipped flopped because of primary. he keeps moving more and more to the left. and recently fell off the deep end, he said. griff: yep. a lot more on that coming up, ainsley. good pointed. now we check in with jillian. good morning, jillian. government some headlines. jillian: that's right. we begin with a fox news alert now. an american held hostage by iran for nearly two years is back on american soil. navy veteran michael white landing in the u.s. over night. he thanked president trump on the phone on his way home in switzerland. >> i'm happy to be back. i have been semi free since they let me go on furlough in iran. i do want to extend my personal thanks to president trump both diplomatically and otherwise making america great again. jillian: white says he wants to go to disney world now that he is free. overnight two police officers are suspended without pay after video shows them knocking down a 75-year-old man. we do want to warn you the video

may be hard to watch. in it though can you see the man approaching officers during a protest in buffalo, new york. before, right there, he was pushed to the ground. now the man reportedly cut his head and had a possible concussion. he is in serious but stable condition. >> president trump firing back at former white house chief of staff john kelly for defending james mattis. the president said he fired mattis as defense secretary. kelly says trump, quote: clearly forgot what happened. he said mattis resigned calling him an honorable man. the president tweeting kelly was totally exhausted by the job and in the end just slinked away into obscurity. they all want to come back for a piece of the limelight. end quote. today florida and maryland are entering james two of reopening. restaurant dining rooms nail and tanning salons are back in business in maryland. golf source source courses and.

broward and miami-dade and palm beach counties. a look at your headlines. second it back to you. steve: i'm ready for phase 5, just saying. i think the whole world is. thank you, jillian. steve: still ahead, staggering news. more than 43 million americans so far have filed for unemployment during the pandemic as nonessential businesses were forced to close up shop. so, how is it fair that those same businesses have to remain closed while it's okay for protesters to gather and march? charles payne has got plenty to say about that and he's coming up next. at carvana, no matter what car you buy from us,

jillian: good morning and welcome back. we have more headlines for you. a judge ordering tennessee to allow everyone to vote by mail during the pandemic. the judge ruling the state's limits on absentee ballots is unconstitutional. officials say they don't have the money or marijuana power to expand mail-in voting. a federal appeals vote has blocked expanding mail-in voting in texas. it upheld a lower court order saying the state's disability clause doesn't cover the pandemic. attorney general ken paxton argues it will lead to voter fraud. the issue is likely to end up in the u.s. supreme court. griff? griff: now to a fox news alert. 24 hours after nypd officers were nearly killed in the line of duty and with more than 200 other nypd officers injured in the last several days the police commissioner is apologizing for the department's past mistakes. >> for our part in the damage to

civility for our part in unacceptable behavior and many other mistakes. we are human. i am sorry. are you? ainsley: joining us to react is dan bongino. it's horrific seeing all these police officers getting hit over the head, getting hit by cars, getting stabbed. getting shot. at the same time, after george floyd and seeing that video so horrific even considers is saying finally she said floyd's horrific death should be enough to finally move us to positive action. what did you make of the commissioner's comments? >> let's be clear. there is nothing wrong, as a matter of fact it's highly recommended for police supervisors, managers and sheriffs and the like to do forms of community outreach. to say do bonds with the community. black, white, asian it, doesn't matter they are all members of the community. my sheriff down here does that all the time. that way when something does

happen. have you pre-existing channels for people to talk to to avoid any kind of civil unrest or disturbance. i don't know. was this a time to be issuing a mass ma mea culpa for the nypd? what he said in many respects isn't wrong. obviously police departments all over the country and world have had issues where occasionally bad apples do really dumb things. buff we are in the middle of a really bad situation right now is he going to delay for the throw day delay of the management in conjunction with mayor de blasio that got a lot of people's businesses destroyed and a lot of people hurt in manhattan as well. the message what he is saying i don't have any issue with police departments acknowledging they have bad apples in the bunch i'm just with the timing let's get a hold on what's happening first and get back to a state of

normalcy so people can go out and legitimately protest before you issue a mass mea culpa. i'm not sure what he was saying about apologizing for history of racial bias as if it is a systemic problem with the nypd. i will be honest with you that was not my experience when i was there. every department has their bad apples and that's a shame. you have need to do your absolute best to get rid of them. i did not experience in any way, shape, or form some mass form of racism in the nypd when i was there at all. will. steve: meanwhile, dan, acsi the country they are talking about defunding the police. we were just talking with matt finn in minneapolis. they are talking about disbanding the police department. i want to take to you philadelphia where now there is a back and forth between one

restaurant debruno brothers. after one night of violence they offered police officers free food. there was firestorm apparently directed at dibruno brothers. they apologized by now you may be aware of a situation this past of offering complimentary lunch to philadelphia police officers. the decision was made in hayes after a night of destruction and looting. it was insensitive and we apologize. well, you know what? the president of the fraternal order of police has now tweeted this out. rest assured philly police will be boycotting debruno brothers from here on out. #, back the blue, mr. bongino. >> steve i'm worried where we are going with this anti-police fomenting, festering attitude that is now exploding, i don't know where the general

population of the united states thinks this is going to go where collectively you think this is going to lead. overwhelming number of back our police officers. do you understand there is this paper thin line between mass chaos and civility. i mean paper then. measured in mill will he meters. you got a taste over the last week about how thin that is. you got a taste of that chaos. are you really sure some of these people, these companies now, seen all kinds of corporate statements out employing somehow again my beef with the nypd police commissioner is not that he said those things, it's that you are implying that somehow the police department have some mass problem like they are systemically racist police departments? that's not true. steve, there was a moment here as i said with george floyd many times on this show in the past week. there was a movement collective unity with what happened with george floyd. i don't have one police officer

friend -- and believe me i have many -- not one that said that was an appropriate use of force. not one. i don't know why people are sowing division now. almost as if they're politically advantaged by it. asking questions about all of this. no one disagreed about what happened to mr. floyd. nobody. why are people stoking the flames? griff: well, we will see, dan, it will be interesting to see if anyone ons minneapolis city council is listening to you this morning. they will take first steps voting later today on defunding, dismantling their police department. it will be interesting. thanks, dan. >> you got it. griff: still ahead, more than 43 million americans filed for unemployment during the pandemic as nonessential bifszs were forced to close up shop. so how is it fair that those same businesses must remain closed while protesters gather and march? charles payne on deck. he will weigh in.

vo: we are ready to serve on the front lines... to fight an invisible enemy with courage and compassion... to comfort and to care, to hope, to press on, to do whatever it takes to beat the odds. we are the men and women of america's hospitals and health systems. and we're here to care for you in every way every day. theand we want to thank times, the extraordinary people in the healthcare community,

steve: it's 6:31 in the east. nearly 1.9 people nearly have filed for unemployment in the last week in the new week. it brings the total number of americans out of work to more than 43 million since the beginning of the covid pandemic. so given this terrible economy right now. one "new york post" op-ed writer asked if protesters can march, why can't businesses open?

here to react is the host of making money on fox business charles payne. charles, good morning to you. >> good morning. it's the right question to ask. not only for folks out there want the protest at the state capitals the right to open. the right to earn a living. the right to save their livelihoods and their families. were they greeted with years from local officials or state governors. i have can remember -- i saw scene yesterday. it was a good scene. listen, a lot of nurses came out of the hospital and they clapped for the folks peacefully marching. i also saw folks about a week and a half ago where nurses were showing up at these protests where people wanted to go back to work. so, you know, i don't know what's going on in this country where a governor like new jersey's governor can chastise

people for quote, unquote, wanting to open up a hair salon and try to contrast that with protesting george floyd were obviously there was no social distancing, people were packed on top of each other. so, you know, the notion of stacking against each other. it's just crazy. and the same people who really wag their fingers at just, again, barbers. i saw 70-year-old barber threaten going to prison in michigan because he wanted to live. he wanted to work. so, you know, it's just a crazy time. this is another crazy aspect of it. steve: you know, i was just reading in the "new york post," apparently, as of the last reporting date so it would have been probably workers' compensation, there were zero deaths in new york city, which is fantastic news. we heard you got to flatten the curve. we are flat as flat as you can be right there. and, yet, new york city still has not even entered, charles

payne, phase 1. that does not happen for three more days. why has new york city been dragging their feet? >> you know, what people don't understand and i have been studying the data every single day, is new york city put in a travel ban. the same political party that chastised president trump for his travel ban against china and again later against europe, we had a de facto travel ban in new york city. if you look at zip codes, fringes, great britain grin greh village compared to the bronx. it should have opened a long time ago. the mayor didn't want people infect from the bronx to come into manhattan and harm those folks. that's the only thing can i figure there walls a de facto travel ban in new york city and that's why large swaths of the city should have been opened a long time ago remain closed. that's the only logical conclusion i can come to.

charles, exit question for you regarding the unemployment number. the new first time jobless claims was about 1.8 million that was posted yesterday. when are we going to flatten that curb? when are we going to go back the other way? >> here is the good news. good is probably the wrong word but here is the encouraging news. since peeking almost 10 weeks ago, every week sequentially the number has gotten lower. yesterday that number was the first time we were under 2 million in 10 weeks. this morning we get the official government jobs data, last month in april rathers that 20.5, 20.6 million unemployed. let's look for how many people are saying they are temporarily unemployed. that's going to be a key number today. also a misclanks last time out and there are 8 million people they didn't know where to put them. this morning we will get a lot more information on that. but we are heading in the right direction right now. steve: all right. charles, thank you very much for

joining us. join charles on making money with charles payne at 2:00 this afternoon over on fox business. my favorite business channel. thank you, sir. all right. meanwhile, 25 minutes before the top of the hour. our nation's capital preparing for what could be the biggest demonstration yet this weekend after a week of sometimes violent protests and unrest. pete hegseth just returned from his deployment. that's right, is he part of the d.c. army national guard. he was on the ground there for a number of days. he's going to tell us what it was like coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪

griff: back with a fox news alert overnight. thunderstorms pouring down on protesters in d.c., ainsley. ainsley: yeah. that's right. lightning striking two national guardsmen sending them to the hospital and mark meredith is live in lafayette square with more as the district is bracing for its biggest protest yet. right, mark?

>> that's right, ainsley. good morning to you. it was a massive storm. it was cool to see inside but those folks that were working outside not so much. including right here in lafayette park, that area right behind the barricade fence. take a look at the video as the d.c. fire department says that two military personnel had to be taken to the hospital after being injured. result of the effects of the lightning strike that happened last night. still waiting to get an update on how serious it was. had to be taken to the hospital told it was non life-threatening injuries. as we talked about though unclear how many people may show up to protest this weekend. we did not have a curfew in d.c. last night. it's always possible though, depending on what's going on that the mayor could impose one. s that the attorney general says the protests we have seen have been targeted by outside groups. the white house is also certainly stepped up physical security with new fencing and installed all across the white house. as we come back out here live, one thing that is new this morning. this is down 16th street, the city is working with muralist to paint a huge mural that says the says black lives matter will be

printed there on the street leading up to the white house. for now back to you guys. steve: mark meredith on the streets of washington, d.c. we thank you very much. meanwhile, somebody who spent three days on the streets is pete hegseth. you know him. is he "fox & friends weekend" co-host. army national guard. posted in washington, d.c. he joining us now. pete you were out on the street what was it like. pete: it was a dicey scene. our unit was guarding right where maker meredith was. griff, the reporters were on the other side of the line, i saw kevin corke and some of our colleagues out there reporting. listen, thank god, for the men and women who wear the uniform of the metro ph.d. of the federal agencies that were there and then of the d.c. national guard for what they stood up for. what they took. the vial things sai vile thingss they stood on the line. it was an honor to stand with

them. if the national guard had not been called up, i can't help but think where washington, d.c. would be right now. i watched on the ground monday night, tuesday night, wednesday night, as the -- as our numbers grew, president wa presence wase monday with the curfew. make sure the crowd was able to peacefully protest. there was a lot of that at the same time i watched bottles and bricks and rocks be thrown at us throughout. there was one point, guys, i was standing for 30 minutes at the vietnam war memorial guarding the vietnam war memorial. and i thought to myself how in the world am i in our nation's capital guarding the vietnam war memorial because the protesters who say they want to exercise their first amendment right really want to deface the lincoln memorial or the washington memorial or the vietnam memorial. it was surreal it. really was, to be outside of lafayette park expanding the perimeter, defending the white house, effectively because it wasn't just about protests.

this was a violent anti-cop, anti-american riot at many levels. that would have gone much further without the additional federal support. griff interest was remarkable pete watching you and fellow guardsmen there doing. this it's important to remember that your mission is allowing the protective safe space these protesters to vent this justified anger after what happened to george floyd but speak to me about how difficult it is for particularly the younger guardsmen, people younger than you and i who have no preparation for this sort of absolute vile treatment where you have these protesters, some of them agitators trying to insight violencincite violence o take the bait. >> i'm so proud of these young men and women. i stood there are a shield and maverick on and heard people scream at me. i have heard it all so i'm used to it. imagine a young kid, 19, 20, 21,

a black kid from washington, d.c. or black girl from washington, d.c. standing on that line, and the utter hatred being screamed at them. the things they are being accused of. they are traitors of their country. traitors of their race, frankly. some things i would never want anyone else to ever hear. and they stood that line stone faced saying my job is to protect your first amendment right to protest and can you scream at me all you wants. what you can't do is pick up a brick or a rock. they threw water bottles and things all night long, fireworks. those things were commonly place where we were. but they never ever flinched. and there wasn't any mistreatment. there wasn't any targeting on our side of. instead, it made me proud of the oath of office they took and it was remarkable to watch. but it also reminded me how vile the other side of the protest can be. yes, there were a lot of peaceful protesters, if they could have.

guys, they would have defaced every moment. they would have looted every business they could and they would have gone all the way to the white house. they wanted to. we were standin standing outside lafayette park with the white house in the back drop. surreal. people didn't want to just protest outside of the gate. they wanted to go over them. i watched churches with the most defile graffiti as you imagine. they wanted to go further, take down the country, defund the cops. what they want to do is destroy america. i'm talking about the hard core members not protesters trying to use this to destroy our union. it's so clear on the ground what their mission is and it's scary, guys. ainsley: yeah. as the week halls progressed we have senile most of those protests turn peaceful and that was the agenda in the beginning, you are right. it's our right to do it. that's actually good news. but the looting, you know, that's not okay. what did you make of bill de

blasio's comments, the mayor of new york, saying that you guys, the national guard not trained to come in to new york city and help the police officers? >> he's a fool. listen, i wasn't trained on the streets of washington, d.c. but, what we did is we incident grated in with the metro police department in washington, d.c. they know the city but they also know where they don't have enough manpower. the first night on monday night i was literally in a van with my riot gear and metro ph.d. were giving directives to the national guard go. in this intersection, this intersection and that intersection. stand there with shields and masks and be prepared to deal with a siege of protesters or rioters in they came our way and you block them to another part of the city. can you seamlessly integrate with the guys who know the ground the best. that's washington, d.c. with the guys in washington, d.c. that's wife you saw it eye involve into more peaceful protests, guys. there was a big show of force monday night, you will recall, in washington, d.c. >> and that show of force was part of why we got to wednesday

the last night that i was there where it was largely peaceful. because it was understood we have the numbers and the ability to contain this. you are allowed to peacefully protest you are not allowed to loot and riot. i know the 69th the unit in downtown manhattan. i have also been in that unit. they are fantastic. they -- half of them are new york city cops. they could integrate very quickly and add value. so, that's an excuse to me. i think it's a pride thing in new york city. if he wanted to integrate them it could be done so very quickly. steve: well, we appreciate your service. ainsley: yes, we do. steve: deployed on the streets of wawlgd. this weekend you are back to your regular job. who is coming up on "fox & friends weekend"? pete: let's see here we have herman cain is on the program, adam kin kin zinger and senator marsha blackburn amongst others. a great weekend.

shout out to man griff we only missed each other by 45 minutes each night. i was there until 4:00 in the morning on the line and griff would show up with his microphone 45 minutes later. we didn't get a chance to fist bump. we didn't. griff: we didn't. but we will this weekend. major job well done. you actually do the job i just tell the story: dr. alveda king said it's time for protesters to focus on the message. her message. coming up. when i get my teeth cleaned, my hygienist doesn't use

something like this. she cleans with something like this. it's got a round head. and it's got power. go pro with oral-b. power one on for oral-b's best clean ever. inspired by dentists. oral-b's round brush head surrounds each tooth to remove more plaque along the gum line. for cleaner teeth and healthier gums. i'll only use the one that's round. oral-b. brush like a pro.

>> i played sports, he did. that connected us and brought us real close. i'm trying not to be sad. this is a lot harder than i thought it would be. that's amazing to me that he tuvmentd so many people's hearts. we want justice for george. ainsley: the family and friends of george floyd remembering his life and calling for the violence to end at yesterday's memorial service. joining us now with her message, the kneels of dr. martin luther king jr. and fox news contributor dr. alveda king. good morning to you, dr. king. >> good morning. ainsley: good morning. the service was beautiful. and i watched george's brother standing outside i'm proud of

protest. i'm not proud of destruction. my brother wasn't like that. the floyds are god fearing people. what are your thoughts this morning? >> i'm reminded of my father, reverend alfred daniel williams king standing on a car in 1963 after our home in birmingham, alabama had been burned. and -- fire bombed. dad stood on the car and he said if you must hit someone, hit me, but i would rather you go home and pray. my family and i are fine. terrence is correct. protest is necessary. it's required at this time. it must be prayerful. it must be peaceful. leaders have to be calming the masses. not saying don't protest. i'm protesting what has happened has been wrong. not just to george floyd. certainly to george. there are others who have experienced that same fate. we know that it has nothing

really to do with skin color we had african-american policemen to attack african-american college students in atlanta with giving tasing them and roughing them up and breaking the young hand because they were out on the street after curfew returning to their homes. and they were not violently protesting. so, this has to stop. buff we have to pray. and leadership, leaders, whether you are just a leader of your own household, whether you are on your job, a minister, an elected official, whoever you are, a ceo of a corporation, let's assure each other, let's calm each other. violence is immoral. martin luther king jr. did say that. and by me as a christian knowing christ, i know we have to be prayerful not fearful and not violent. ainsley: how are you so positive? it's such depressing time.

people are sad. businesses are being looted and you know, people are getting killed, innocent people. how far do you stay positive? >> well, three of my family members who were killed because of injustice. martin luther king jr. was shot at 68. my dad was joked and thrown in a swimming pool and there was no water in his lungs in 69. my grandmother was shot in 1974. ainsley: have you been through this. >> eastbounebenezer back tis ch. ainsley: we have 10 seconds dr. king. >> yeah. ainsley: i'm sorry. we have about 10 seconds. but i just love you. i think you represent america. you don't see skin color. you don't see politics, it seems. and i have interviewed you so many times. god bless you. thank you for. >> i see skin color but i don't refuse to love people. ainsley: we love you for that thank you. >> thank you. ainsley: sarah sanders coming up. lara logan coming up and

steve: good morning, it is friday june 5th, 2020. we start with a fox news alert. protesters hitting the streets across the nation once again after the death of george floyd. demonstrations were mostly peaceful but the demands for police reform are not slowing down. griff: they are not. in no, the nypd clashing with protesters refusing to follow the city's curfew. to see denies of arrests made

overnight. all just 24 hours after a series of attacks against officers. new york's curfew runs through sunday but several major cities like washington, d.c. and los angeles have lifted theirs, ainsley. ainsley: that's right, griff. more than 32,000 national guard members are deployed nationwide to help keep the peace and lauren green starts her coverage. she is live in new york city with the tensions there overnight. lauren? >> hey, ainsley, it was the 8th night of protests here in new york city. tensions just continue to rise as thousands defied that 8:00 p.m. curfew, clashing with cops. marchers took to the streets of brooklyn, demonstrating near the broadway center, the scene of much violence earlier this week. it was a large, but more peaceful protest similar scenes occurring throughout new york's five boroughs as protesters made their ways through city streets shouting their mantra, black lives matter.

after 8:00 p.m. cops finally began aggressively enforcing the curfew. and that's when the scuffle and skirmishes started as officers worked to disperse the crowds sometimes by wedge ago gap between the grownts and blocking off streets. dozens were reasonable doubt a. after over a week of clashes, hundreds of officers have been injured. there are also reports that some of the attacks on officers have been terror-related. cops have long come under scrutiny for the way they have handled encounters. dermot shea apologized for any police culpability. >> so for our part in the damage to civility for our part in racial bias, unacceptable force, unacceptable behavior, unacceptable language and many other mistakes, we are human. i am sorry. >> yesterday, new york city held

a memorial for george floyd. thousands gathered in a park before marching across the brooklyn greej to the square in manhattan. floyd's brother thanking the crowd thanking for their support but we minding them to protest peacefully. >> i'm proud of the protest. but i'm not proud of the destruction. my brother wasn't about that. the floyds are a god-fearing family. >> new york city mayor bill de blasio was at the memorial. he was booed loudly. in the meantime demonstrations are expected again today throughout the city. back to you, steve, griff, ainsley. steve: all right. lauren, thank you very much. they are expected. but last night, finally, the new york city police department said enough is enough and they started enforcing the curfew. meanwhile, regarding the curfew

in d.c. overnight, thunder storms poured down on the protesters there and a lightning strike sent two national guardsmen to the hospital while patrolling the rallies. griff: our thoughts and prayers with them. mark meredith is life in lafayette square with more as the district braces for biggest protest yet. mark, hard to believe we haven't seen the biggest one yet? >> griff, it certainly is possible. the weather may have a big factor in that you talked about what happened last night with the weather. it was a cool storm to see if you were inside. for those folks outside including those national guardsmen and women that were inside lafayette park it. really was a different story behind that chain linked fence. take a look at video from the d.c. fire department. as they show two people having to be taken to the hospital after being injured as a result of that lightning strike. strike. we are told injuries non life-threatening. video from some of our affiliates capturing the lightning strike all over the

national mall. while that did not stop protesters from coming out last night it. is certainly possible it could dampen turn out later today because wee are expecting to see more storms later on this evening. there is no curfew in effect for d.c. right now that could change over the weekend depending on what we see and we have seen protesters continue to come out. as we come back out here live right here at the corner of 16th and 8th northwest right now traffic is reopen. do you see that orange dump truck right there? behind that we see the city workinworking with mullerrest tt black lives matter. road leads up to the white house as they get ready for another weekend of protesting ahead. looking to see how many people show up. back to you guys. ainsley: good deal. thank you, mark. let's bring in sarah sanders former white house press secretary and fox news contributor. good morning, sarah. >> good morning. thanks for having me on. ainsley: i know you are living in arkansas now. you were jewels where mark was a few years ago serving at the white house a year and a half

ago when you left. we wanted to ask you about the protest and then peaceful protests which have turned into riots and then looting people's stores. >> i think what is happening right now is truly tragic. and i think george floyd's family calling on and asking the violence and the rioting and looting to stop is something that everybody should be listening to this all started because of the horrific incident of what happened to their family member. to george floyd. and for them to come out and publicly call on people to stop, i think should give everyone some pause and hopefully people will start to listen. no one is talking about the fact of what happened was horrible nobody disagrees with that everyone agrees that should have never happened and certainly never happen in this country.

but, at the same time, allowing people to run wild through the streets, destroying businesses, other people getting injured, some people even dying because of this, that's not going to move us forward. we have to have law and order. we certainly should allow people to peacefully protest. things are starting to get out of hand. and we need to be able to bring that order back to our country so we can have the discussion on how we move forward and how we do that together. steve: well, you know, sarah, speaking of moving forward, in the city of minneapolis, they are actually talking about moving forward and dismantling the police department in the wake of george floyd's death. meanwhile there are because of this movement, the george floyd movement right now, it's become kind of a perfect storm. that's the background to the fact that overall crime has been down across the country. and then, because the economy has taken a hit with covid,

suddenly all sorts of communities are going to have to make budget cuts. new york city is going to be $9 billion short on tax revenue. and that's why they are talking about, perhaps, cutting a billion dollars from the police budget. you look at -- rather, los angeles out west. there is a push to cut between 100 and $150 million from their budget in new york city a million. and in nashville, residents are calling for cuts to -- for an additional $2.6 million for police. we hear so many people saying this is the time to increase funding but those communities are talking about going the other way. >> you know, i think one of the worst parts that could come out of this is why forget some ever the heroic things first responders do on a daily basis. new yorkers are crying for

police officers to be defunded. let's not forget they were some of the first people that ran in to rescue and help people in 9/11. when there is a drug overdose they are the first ones on the scene. car crash first ones on the scene trying to help people. let's not forget some of the heroic things that these police officers around the country have done. that doesn't mean that there haven't been some horrible things that have been done and that those individual officers should face punishment, severe punishment when they don't follow their own rules. but, at the same time, we cannot punish everyone for the sins of a few. and that's what they are trying to do and i think that would be a horrible mistake and we have to maintain the support for those officers that keep us safe and protect us on the daily basis and not let those handful that have done terrible things ruin the reputation of everyone. griff: good point, sarah, when

we really broaden that. that map steve was showing about defunding police, you are getting to the fundamental decision that this country is about to enter a debate over whether or not we should stand firmly behind the rule of law and protect life and property and have the necessary resources to do it. bryan dean wright, a former cia officer was on tucker last night and had passionate words about that debate. listen. >> put it all together and the piece that you mentioned no more police because we are going to defund those folks. we can't put forward the national guard because that would be escalation. now we take off the military from the table, where does that lead, tucker? let me tell you where it leads, village atlantay justice. >> tucker: that's exactly right. >> you and meal and everyone on this program arming ourselves. is that how we run a republic? no, sir, it is not. >> tucker: you are exactly right. >> you do not want a country that goes there that's precisely where the nation is. if secretary esper doesn't get

it understand that the oath is to protect ourselves from threats foreign and domestic, by god get the hell out of the pentagon and let somebody lead who gets it. because that is the oath that he took that i took and that the people of this country demand of our leadership in this moment because we are on fire somebody do something about it. griff: key word, sarah. who is going to be the one to lead? is that leader going to be president trump, despite the criticism he is taking? >> i think it has to be because he is the only one talking about the rule of law. he is the only one pushing for us to have law and order in this country. without it, we are not america. and we are not the america that we all love. that is one of the things fundamental parts of who we are as a society is that we are people that follow rules. let's not also forget one of the most important things about america. one of the things that makes us so unique and so special is that

we value all lives. we value human lives in all forms. and that is what sets us apart from so many countries across the face of this planet. and we absolutely cannot get away from that or we lose who we are as a country and that will fundamentally change who we are and we cannot allow that to happen and i think that's why we need leaders like donald trump to step up and talk about the rule of law and talk about the value that we place on human life and never forget that that is who we are as a country. ainsley: every life is important. that's who we are as americans. if you listener to joe biden though he says percentage of them that are not good. listen to this. >> in thand the words the presis matter. when a president stands up and divides people all the time. you are going to get the worst of us to come out. do we really think thi this is d as we can be as a nation? i don't think the vast majority of people think that they are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 members of the people out there just not very good people.

buy that's not who we're. vast majority of people are decent. we have to unite people, bring them together. bring them together. is he right, 10% to 15% of our people knot good people? >> not at all. i agree with what he said we have to come together and unite. unfortunately live he is not the person who can do that because he is saying things divisive and sailing 15% of our country aren't good people. americans at our he is sense. at our very core are are the best of what has took place on this planet. the idea 10 to 15% of americans are not good people is not only appalling but the exact kind of rhetoric dividing the country. joe biden every single day is politicizing this instead of coming up with solutions and trying to bring the country together. he is doing exactly what he is saying shouldn't be happening.

and so i think while i agree we need to come together as a country. i fundamentally disagree that joe biden has any ability to do that. and i don't think that most of america will put their faith behind them when it comes to the end of the day in november because i think he is showing us every single day that he is not that person that can bring us together and hopefully, he will spend some more time out in the country, get out of that basement bunker a little more often and realize that 15% of this country is not bad people. and see the greatness of america and the greatness of our people. steve: joe biden needs to do the math. 15% of this country is 50 million people. is he going to have to do some explaining later today because that is just jaw-dropping. sarah, thank you very much for joining us from your basement bunker in little rock, arkansas. >> thank you, steve. steve: all right.

it's about 7:15 here in the east. we go now to our world headquarters and jillian has news from the twin cities. jillian: we begin with a fox news alert. the minneapolis city council will vote today on a proposal to dismantle the city's police department. the council president tweeting, quote: yes we are going to dismantle the minneapolis police department and replace it with a transformative new model of public safety. it comes a day after the city said goodbye to george floyd during an emotional memorial. ♪ pray ♪ to our god ♪ look at your neighbor and sing hallelujah. jillian: we will have a live report from minneapolis this hour. two police officers suspended without pay after video shows them knocking down a 75-year-old man why do want to warn you the video may be hard to watch. man approaching officers protest in buffalo, new york before this

story really speaks to what can happen in america. why are you running? >> yes. i'm running because i want to talk about what a better future we can have for our children. in my ad slavery to west point in five generations. i want to talk about the progress we can have for my 15-month-old daughter and our family for the future. it takes sacrifice and dedication and hard work and grit. my parents understood from a very early time in my development that it was important to get an education and serve our country. consequently all my siblings went to west point and serve this country and believe in the american dream we can achieve for the future. griff: wesley, you are not just running for a congressional seat. this is the 7th congressional district. once held by president george h.w. bush you said you have a

young daughter. what do you want america to look like? what do you hope that future looks like when she is a teenager? >> sure. i want it to look like now what we are seeing today in spite of the difficult times that we have. i want people to have opportunity. i want people to have economic prosperity. right now i am running in a district that has the energy corridor in energy capital of the world. so a thriving economy is what we need and that's the great equalizer no matter what we look like. and i am running to preserve that you come from a military background. speak what you dual for the minority business owners in cities all across the country who have been devastated, many lost their life's work because of the chaos in the streets. first of all floyd's death was a tragedy. no one disputes that we all

agree on that. i saw the country come together and unify with the message that the people that are responsible for his death should be imprisoned. i'm disheartened to sight rioting and looting of public and private property. so, first things first, we have to restore order back in this country and restore the rule of law. once we do this, the best way for us to get past this is to rebuild our economy like we had before the coronavirus before all the incidents we have seen here in the recent past. and we have to make sure that we put people back to work to bring our jobs back to this country. if we did it once, i assure you we can do it again. griff: that's the spirit of what americans wanted to hear right now. captain restly hunt. we want to point put we reached out to your opponent lizzy fletcher. we did not hear back from her. she is welcome to come on this program. >> attorney general william barr confirming antifa is behind some of the riots we see across the

recent violence. >> at some demonstrations there are extremist agitators who are hijacking the protests to pursue their own separate and violent agenda. we have evidence that steve and other similar extremist groups, as well as actors of a variety of different political persuasions have been involved in instigating and participation in the violent activity. steve: this as a new report claims antifa planning antigovernment insurgency for months. lara logan who has reported on antifa. you know, lara, one of the other things that bill barr mentioned was they have evidence that certain foreign actors have hijacked the protests as well for their own agenda any idea who those certain foreign actors

might be? >> i have been open to various sources and counter-terrorism sources and other threats throughout the law enforcement community, and the obvious suspect that they point to are china and, of course iran as well. and some of them russia, too. and i also spoke to a world leader on a long way from here, i won't say who. and even from across the world they are hearing that america is really tearing itself apart from within. and they see this as a moment of strategic opportunity. but, you know, there is a difference between hijacking something and exploiting it. and fueling it. and that's really the concern here. who is fueling this outrage because they use race and race hatred and racism and all of that as a front. because when you look at their agenda, which is very well mapped out online, what they are actually doing is fueling racism. and fueling race hatred by reinforcing stereotypes and dividing people.

griff: lara, let me ask you specifically about specifically with regards to antifa. i have covered them. i have been speaking to them in the last few days because i covered them during the inauguration. and their viewpoint, at least here in washington is that what they have done so far in terms of tactics has not worked. so they are participating in these protests. and escalating their tactics. what can you tell us about what we may see in the coming days at these protests? >> so, you know, that seems somewhat misguided to me. because it's not that their tactics are not working. go back to the literature of these organizations that you can find online. they have been planning this not just for a few months but for decades. and this is sort of the culmination, almost like the super bowl of their efforts. they're giving up so much of their operational secrecy by exposing themselves to the degree to which they're exposed. you know, you can see them in their black.

can you see them with the backpacks on. if you take of them you can see the ear pieces they have in their ears. you know law enforcement is doing this kind of thing, right? if you think about how they are exposing themselves, that's an extraordinary capacity to give up that level of secrecy. and, yet, they are doing it because they are being incredibly successful. what are their objectives? divide the military and the police. make the public choose a side. well, that's happening quite significantly in some ways, right? now we are talking about defund the police. that's one of their big objectives is to abolish the police. and if you look at their agenda as it is laid out, step-by-step, they are closer than they have ever been to reaching their goal. and what -- some of the things that you can expect to see trying to push the president and this administration to go beyond their constitutional authority one of the goals in using racism

to fuel this is to erase the constitution. if you look at the 1619 project carried out by the "new york times" and things like blackout tuesday which is about commercial black outs on tuesday once a week. what are they designed to do? they are designed to get you one step closer to a marxist state. which has no borders. which has no police force and no law tone fomplets by the way, in which we are all oppressors. we are not defined by race for them. if you are a black person and you own a business. you are an oppressor. if you are a black person and you have a house and you have renters, you are an oppressor. if you are a black policeman, you are an oppressor. look at minneapolis where you have the police chief is black. the state attorney general is black. right? i mean, this isn't about a black/white thing for them. they just put that forward. as long as you are focusing on that you will never really pay attention to what's happening over here. you will never really come up

with a solution. that's what they want. they wants everybody to focus on the race issue. because they know how divisive that is. and it helps them. ainsley: all right. lara. i was on fox nation last night. can you watch her. lara logan has no agenda only available on fox nation. thanks, lara. it is 34 minutes after the top of the hour. the push to defund the police taking hold in places like los angeles as more and more major cities may be looking into following suit. our law enforcement panel calls it a slap in the face and that's next. need!

♪ griff: we're back today, minneapolis could take the first steps in dismantling the city's police department as emotions run high during a memorial for george floyd. steve? steve: our correspondent matt finn is live in minneapolis with reaction from the family on this friday morning. matt? >> yeah.

we'll hear more of this reaction. in just a few hours now, the city council here is scheduled to hold emergency meeting in which it's going to take a vote on basically moving forward with dismantling its police department. it's a major american city taking the steps towards abolishing its current police system. and this comes after a memorial yesterday here in minneapolis for george floyd. reverend al sharpton gave the eulogy. celebrities like kevin hart attended and the floyd family shared some of their own memories. >> george was somebody who was always welcoming and everybody would feel like they were special. he would embrace them. >> he would stand up for his family and friends and stand up for any injustifiable anywhere. [sigh. [can you please say his name? >> george floyd. >> thank you alleluia. >> here in minneapolis at loos three city council members have

publicly spoken or tweeted about dismanhattan ling the police department. just hours ago the president of the minneapolis city council tweeted quote yes we are going to dismantle the minneapolis police department and replace it with a model of public safety. jeremiah ellison tweeted, quote we are going to dishand tell the minneapolis police department. when we are done, we are not simply going to glue it back together. we are going to dramatically rethink how we approach public safety and emergency response. it's really past due. minneapolis has been battling an intense police controversy for quite some time now. last year fox news reported from minneapolis as the police chief requested up to 400 new officers to battle his shortage. mayor jacob frey opened some support to police suggesting just 14 more officers. but, now, a growing number of city council members are insisting the city does not need a police department and instead can move to community strategies. and this morning, the three

other police officers seen in that george floyd video are being held on 750,000 to $1 million bail. they are charged with aiding and abetting murder. griff, steve, ainsley. griff: all right. matt, thanks. ainsley? ainsley: thank you, guys. all right, let's bring in our law enforcement panel. we have suffolk county which is out in the hamptons out east. new york sheriff and we have retired nypd lieutenant joe cardijoecardinally dr. porcher,s for being with us. >> thanks for having us. ainsley: you are welcome. darren, i will start with you. what does this look like if police departments are defunded. all these cities that want to cut millions new york wants to cut a billion. if what does it look like if you dismantle the police department in los angeles. >> this is a dangerous experiment involving a litmus

test on public safety. this is merely a knee-jerk reaction to the masses. i want to state the rioters for what happened in the george floyd crisis this was a terrible incident that happened with mr. floyd but we need to separate and isolate the two. police are necessary to enforce the social contract. citizens are required protections under the purview of government. therefore, by dismantling police, what you are going to do is introduce a level of disservice to that public. those people in that community deserve to be protected it's unfortunate that you have public administrators such as the mayor of minneapolis that's going to set forth the precedent that will send shock waves throughout the nation and unfortunately we will see more of this moving forward. therefore we need to coalesce behind a strategy that moves forth to protect us as citizens because the riotous behaviors are going to continue because we are in the midst of a depression as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. ainsley: joe, you and darrin served in new york city in nypd.

and if you lose, if they cut a billion dollars out of the budget, what happens? >> it's going to be like something out of a batman movie. you are going to see street. hate to paint that picture. exactly what they're heading for. good luck, minneapolis. good luck dismantling police department. because when you dismantle police department. you dismantle first line of defense. if they want to go back to the drawing board and they want to reassemble and rethink their system, that's fine. but to have no police state and to tell the public don't call the police for these incidents, watch domestic violence go right through the roof with this. it's insane to think you can take a police department and get rid of it. ainsley you asked this morning can they get rid of the police? think if the training ghost out the window and starting from scratch. it will never rehappen. if you want to rethink it do it like rudy giuliani did. start the compstat system where

they held commanders accountable for what happens in their training. if this was an nypd precinct. that precinct would be held accountable for what happened with those four officers, all right? it's that precinct commander's responsibility to know about the officers in his command. if you want to put a structure in place like mayor giuliani did, and do something like com stat and holding everybody accountable that's the way to do it. ainsley: condoleezza rice said we keep hearing these stories of innocent people or people charged with small crimes being killed by police officers and she said that george floyd's death, horrific death should be enough to finally move us to a positive action. can that happen without dismanhattan ling the police departments or cutting funds? >> yes. good morning ainsley ank thank you for having me on. >> good morning. more importantly when we look at these incidents, these tragedies and horrific killings, there are two things that are occurring. there is a lack of supervision or there is a lack of training. rather than defunding police departments. what we really need to do is

move towards we moving the outdated training policies and procedures and look to try and increase the trainings of staff. a perfect example is what you just highlighted earlier where you saw a 70-year-old man in buffalo who was pushed to the ground as officers are moving in a line formation. >> so clearly when you approach someone like that or someone that's disabled, you want to ask them or guide them and move them out of the way. you are not going to use the same tactics that we were taught, you know e in the 1980s when i started my law enforcement career. ainsley: maybe we need to address the tactics and training and focus on that instead of defunding. thank you so much, guys for being with us and most importantly for serving. y'all are busy, i know. hanged it over to janice she has a weather forecast for us for the weekend. hi, janice. janice: we're watching tropical storm cristobal. this system was a tropical storm and then it weakened to a tropical depression. nau we expect it to move into the gulf of mexico and restrengthen again and make landfall sunday night into

monday into parts of louisiana, in towards mississippi, alabama, and florida. so the eastern part of the system east of the center of the storm. that's where we are going to see the worst of the heavy rain. the storm surge we actually could see tornadoes as well. so this is something we are going to have to watch over the next couple of days. expecting it to strengthen. tim we don't think it's going to become a hurricane. but, regardless of whether it's a 60 mile-per-hour sustained winds or 70 miles per hour, the legacy is going to be extreme heavy rain. and we have the potential for a lot of flooding in and around the new orleans area and the center of this storm we believe is going to come on top of new orleans. so, that's going to be a big weather story as we get into the weekend and watch cristobal and bring you the latest. the next weather advisory comes out at 8:00 a.m. we will probably see tropical storm watches and warnings and in the next coming hours as

well. griff, ainsley, steve back to you. ainsley: good deal. thank you so much, j.d. 46 minutes bhowfer before the top of thbefore the top of theh. lego is pulling ads for police and white house toy sets. our next guest says this is cancel culture at work once again.

jillian: good morning, back with headlines now. stepmom accused of murdering a 11-year-old boy faces charges for trying to escape jail. paidner inmate to help her get out her cell window. officials find ago letter to tell her daughter not be afraid if she came up missing. she is charged with the murder of he went missing in january. his body was found in march. 1400 miles away from the home in florida. a statue of confederate jefferson davis could be removed from kentucky capital building. sits behind abraham lincoln. andy beshear says it's divisive and should thought be next to the president who accomplished slavery. the davis statue has been in the rotunda since 1936. it comes after virginia's governor to announce plans to remove a robert e. lee statue

from its state capitol. guys? steve: all right, jillian, thank you very much. yesterday joe biden was doing one of his now famous virtual town halls. he was doing a 70 minute discussion and it was mod der rate offed by that man right there, the actor don cheadle. he was telling a group of supporters that america is mostly good. it can be improved. and then he gave a number that has got so many people saying what is he talking about? here is joe biden yesterday talking about some of the people in this country. >> in thand the words the presis matter. when a president stands up and divides people all the time, you're going to get the worst of us to come out. do you really think we are as good as we can be as a nation? i don't think the vast majority of people think that there are probably anywhere from 10% to 15% of the people out there just

not very good people. that's not who we are. the vast majority of people are decent. we have to appeal to that and we have to unite people, bring them together. bring them together. griff: well, we have got some update here because if you are viewing from maine, you are not in that bad people group. apparently because vice president biden has put a press release at 6:00 a.m. saying that the president, president trump's trip to maine today is a bad move and further evidence of his failed leadership during this pandemic time and that he will listen to all mainers. i'm being sarcastic he has violated the fundamental rule of don't alienate your base. don't alienate any voter for that matter. but what would be fascinating is whether or not biden will be forced to clarify those comments because, remember, he had to clarify his comments when he was speaking to the breakfast club host about the race issues we

will see now if he is going to be held to the fire on this one. ainsley: well, you know, we all know that there are bad apples. it was just interesting that he considers, you know, 15% of america, 10% to 15% bad apples. it just doesn't make a lot of sense. steve, you gave the numbers before. do you want to do that again? steve: i was just doing the math, ainsley, when you look at the united states, which has got over 300 million americans. if you talk about 15% of america being bad people, that is about 50 million people. and i got news for joe biden. joe biden would like most of those people to vote for him. of course, we don't know exactly who he is talking about and you are absolutely right, griff. let's see whether or not mr. biden symptom time today explains exactly who those not very good people are. griff: it's worth pointing out by the way in the soundbite we heard he didn't just alienate

people. it's a comment about unity. so how in the same breath do you unite people when you have set aside 10% to 15% of them, ainsley? ainsley: maybe he will clarify. because i do want to hear who this 15% is. are they democrats? are they republicans? is it 15% of all of america? hopefully he will explain and we will get to the bottom of it, steve? steve: all right. stay tuned for that also, stay tuned, geraldo rivera is coming up and judge jeanine in our final hour of "fox & friends" for this friday, june 5th. ng cl i tell them, it may be your detergent... that's why more dishwasher brands recommend cascade platinum... ...with the soaking, scrubbing and rinsing built right in. ...

it's the 11:05 endless-orders migraine medicine the 2:20 back-to-back calls migraine medicine it's called ubrelvy the migraine medicine for anytime, anywhere a migraine attacks without worrying if it's too late or where you happen to be. one dose of ubrelvy can quickly stop migraine pain and debilitating symptoms in their tracks within two hours. unlike older medications, ubrelvy is the first pill of its kind to directly block cgrp protein believed to play a role in migraine attacks. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. few people had side effects, most common were nausea and tiredness. a migraine can strike anytime, anywhere.

ask about ubrelvy, the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine. ainsley: we start with a fox news alert protesters hitting city streets across the country after the death of george floyd. demonstrations stay mostly peaceful but the demand for police reform are not slowing down, steve. steve: that's right, ainsley. in new york city, the new york police department clashing with protesters refusing to follow the cities 8:00 p.m. curfew dozens of arrests were made overnight all just 24 hours after a series of attacks on police officers. new yorks curfew will run through sunday and then we don't month exactly what's going to happen with the crowds but several major cities like washington d.c. and la have already lifted their curfew, griff. griff: they have indeed steve and now march than 3 t thousand

national guard guard members are deployed nationwide to help keep the peace. mark meredith starts our coverage live in d.c. where the cleanup is underway. mark? reporter: griff that's right the clean-up happening at this hour, we're actually seeing some of the graffiti that's been spread on lafayette park get out of the way. if you take a live look you can see they are scrubbing it off of one of the one way signs this is the first time i've seen them try to take this graffiti down in lafayette park itself but the park of course remains under lockdown. want to show you video from last night when the d.c. fire department says two military personnel that were inside the park suffered injuries as a result of a lightning strike nearby. the good news is they are non- life threatening injuries but they did have to go to the hospital. we're still hoping to get an update on their condition a little bit later on today. the lightning wasn't just over lafayette park. the entire city saw quite a lightning storm last night but that does not stop protestses from coming out. we are expecting more storms in the forecast for d.c. a little

bit later on today as to how many people will be showing up in d.c. that is the big question , because day after day, all week long we still continue to see these large crowds come out. right now no curfew on the books for d.c. that could change depending on what's going on and right where we are on this street in front of the white house, workers are putting up a huge mural on the road to the white house, the road that leads up to it that says "black lives matter" certainly going to get a lot of attention as people come out to voice their opinions about everything that's been going on. griff back to you guys. ainsley: thank you, mark. today minneapolis could take the first steps in dismantling its city's police department. as emotions run high during a memorial for george floyd. steve: on the streets of minneapolis right now, we have our close friend matt finn as we learn new details about the officers charged in george floyd's death. reporter: this morning the three officers seen in the george floyd video aside from derek

chauvin are being held on $750,000 to $1 million bond. they are charged with aiding and a betting murder and we're learning two of the three officers are considered rookies. one officer was on his fourth day on-the-job, according to his attorney, who argues the rookie did not aid in murder. and yesterday, a memorial for george floyd was held here in minneapolis. reverend al sharpton gave the eulogy. celebrities like kevin hart attend and the floyd family shared some of their own memories. >> george was somebody who was always welcome and everybody would feel special. >> he would stand up for his family and friends and any in justice for everyone. can you all please say his name. >> "george floyd." >> thank you, all. reporter: in a short while, the governor here is scheduled to tour some of the immense damage across this city. our crew personally saw several

businesses burned right down to the ground. very disheartening and difficult to watch. back to you guys. griff: let's bring in geraldo rivera fox news correspondent at large. hey, geraldo good morning to you we've been talking a lot this morning. i'm just sneaking in here, brian has got a day off and so i'm sneaking in here but you know it's fascinating because we're really seeing this debate here certainly in washington and new york as well about defunding the police, it was just in the last 24 hours, you've had some police officers on the nypd force almost lose their lives trying to keep the peaceful protester to protest, but this map is from los angeles where they are looking to cut 150 million to new york as i mentioned and then of course some other smaller cities phoenix and nashville, there what do you make of this?

geraldo: first of all hi, ainsley. ainsley: hi, geraldo and steve scalise here too. geraldo: hi, steve. i think abolishing the police is absolute insanity. it reminds me very much of the 70s in new york city where they wanted to abolish the army. they would have abolished the american military totally. i mean, these are just the pot- filled dreams of the extreme left activists. they don't for a second believe that they could have civilization without the thin blue line. can you imagine what the looting on madison avenue would have been had there been no police officers? my goodness i think they would have gone into people's apartments and taken their wardrobe and they would have been left in their underwear in their bare feet. we pray for the cops who have been injured. i think the injuries that the cops were so stunning that they quieted the crowd down, but

i have a peace proposal if anybody wants to hear it, how the country can go forward from here. i have a proposal from my friend the president of the united states. i think that he's shown toughness and resolve. he's gotten the police department off their butts. remember those first few days where they did absolutely nothing but allow the rape and pillage of american cities? he got them going and showed his own personal courage in walking across lafayette park and visit ing the burned st. john's church. i wish he had done it with some of his black cabinet member, maybe tim scott from the senate, maybe ben carson, just to make a gesture to black americans that he cared but i thought that it was fine he visited and i found it ironic that the people were more critical, the mainstream media were more critical of the fact that he had the photo o p than the arsonists burned down st. john's church, the church is over 200 years old

and i think it was very telling but i think the president can do three quick things. one, recognize that black men face special challenges when dealing with cops. i think that's very very important. recognize too and you have to take a real gulp to do this that george floyd be alive today if he was a quite guy. the third reform be to abolish chokeholds and they are unnecessary in modern policing and the fourth, the president can remind america that he's the president that did criminal justice reform. he's the president that attempt ed to modernize the jail ing of so many african americans and other minorities. i think that he's got a good hand to play, but i think he's got himself playing it today. ainsley: not a bad idea but alice johnson would help them out with that. this is bill barr he was talking in a press conference with law enforcement agents yesterday. listen to what he said about the number of injuries to law enforcement. >> from saturday until today, there were 114 injuries to law

enforcement, most of those to federal agents and most of those inflicted right around the white house. there were 22 hospitalizations. the justice department is also working closely with our state and local partners to address violent riots around the country i urge governors and mayors and other state and local leaders to work closely with the national guard and with us. ainsley: so geraldo for anyone to talk about antifa he said they have evidence that they are in the crowd. your thoughts? geraldo: first of all ainsley i believe that the people that people etrait violence against tops, they should use the surveillance videos, those cameras that they have on every corner in a place like new york city, try their best to identify those who have actually assaulted cops and then prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

there's no, there's no comparison between a violent protests who hurts a cop and somebody out there, let's change the world. i think they've got to be very very harsh, very strict, single them out. we need some great police work now. i think it's the same police work, ainsley, that will determine who is in antifa. using rico statutes, using undercover cops, going after these people as a serious threat to domestic violence that the domestic terrorism that they present. steve: absolutely, geraldo and you know, i've heard that apparently, they're trying to use with the cameras to identify people, facial recognition technology, but of course, they're wearing masks many of them, and antifa has worn masks historically for a number of years. go ahead. geraldo: each of those cars waiting outside the looted shops , they pulled up so they needed a cell phone to

coordinate that. the pull-up to the store, and then you have the license plates of the vehicles outside the store, it takes hard police work, but i think they should be task forces assigned to this , assigned to these organized criminals who rape new york city , and left so many people injured in so many ways behind. steve: right, exactly. so it will be interesting to ainsley's point, most of them had cell phones in their pockets or at least were taking pictures of things and there are ways that the federal government can actually use gps to figure out who those people were at that time. geraldo we're going to play a sound bite. it's the number one political sound bite of the day. it is joe biden doing a 70 minute town hall yesterday talking to his supporters and he said something today that if i had to bet he would like a do- over on. here is joe biden. geraldo: okay. >> in the words the president says matter, so when a president

stands up and divides people all the time, you're going to get the worst of us to come out. do we really think this is as good as we can be as a nation i don't think the vast majority of people think that. probably anywhere from 10 to 15% of the people out there who just aren't very good people, but that's not who we are. the vast majority of people are decent. we have to appeal to that and we have to unite people. bring them together. bring them together. steve: geraldo, he's not talking about a few bad apples, as we have been talking about for 10 days now. he's talking about 10-15% of america which be 50 million americans. geraldo: i could just see him doing it steve. like big holes fill auditoriums and walk around and say you ain't black. you're deplorable. you know? i could see him selecting that way. i think it's preposterous. you start limiting the american

people, 15% is larger than many countries it's a preposterous suggestion, it's another prop from the former vice president and i have a feeling in the next 150 odd days, vice president biden will get plenty of fodder to this and other morning shows. he just seems to step on his tongue almost every time he opens his mouth. griff: and geraldo we will have you back to talk about it when that happens it'll be interesting to see if the former vice president issues a statement to clarify to as steve says the 50 million americans wondering who they are. thanks, geraldo. geraldo: thank you, griff. griff: all right, now we turn to jillian with headlines who i know is not in that 10-15%. jillian: thank, griff back at you. good morning to you, let's get to a fox news alert an american held hostage by iran for nearly two years is back on american soil. navy veteran michael wyatt landing in the u.s. overnight. he thanked president trump on

the phone, on his way home while in switzerland. >> i'm happy to be back. i've been semi-free since they let me go in iran, but i do want to extend my personal thanks to president trump for his efforts diplomatically and otherwise making america great again. jillian: he wants to go to disney world now that he's free. >> three chinese nationals are sentenced to prison for illegally photographing a florida navy base. they entered a restricted area of a naval air station in key west in december. in separate incidents they ignored verbal warnings to leave the group took photos of the base and nearby government buildings and a chinese national s were sentenced between 9-12 months in prison. >> president trump firing back at john kelly for defending james mattis. the president said he fired matt is as defense secretary but kelly says from "clearly forgot" what happened and he said he resigned calling him an

honorable man and the president tweeted totally exhausted by the job and in the end just went away into obscurity. they all want to come back for a piece of the limelight. >> florida, virginia, and maryland entering phase ii of reopening today. in virginia, restaurant dining rooms, retail stores and gyms are among the businesses reopening. nail and tanning salons are back in business in maryland. golf courses and campgrounds can also open. and in florida bars, movie theaters and bowling allies can reopen except in broward, miami-dade and palm beach counties and universal orlando also reopens today to the general public. visitors are required to wear face masks and social distancing will be enforced. those are your headlines i'll send it back to you. steve: progress. ainsley: thanks, jillian. still ahead how a former green beret is using military strateg ies to change community policing and he joins us live to explain how it works, next.

steve: a former green beret making his his mission to change the way the communities are being pleased using strategies he learned while in military service. joining us right now is u.s. army veteran and retired massachusetts state trooper, mike cutone. mike, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: good morning to you. explain what c 3 is? >> yeah, so it's a community- based approach to policing, steve, where we select offers and give them specific training and then we embed them in the community and they become the fabric within that community and they are working through the community and the c3 officer s realize the greatest resource is the community and the local

citizens and we end up having weekly meetings with these community members and those weekly meetings become laboratory of creativity and innovation within a community. steve: soc 3 stands for counter criminal continum. >> right. steve: you figured this out working for over a dozen years in the inner city. you were serviced in iraq as well. for the people right now who are trying to figure out where do we go from here with community policing, how wouldc 3 change everything to as we're doing it right now? >> well it's going to empower local citizens and give officer, steve another tool in their toolkit so i look back at my career of 21 years as a trooper and everything was focused on what we had on our belts and it was a use of force instruments and a lot of training focused on

that versus hey, let's focus on the community, let's focus on engaging them and we have to train officers in that, so we did that in springfield. i give credit to the deputy chief back then, where he was open there and he had such success then and it expanded to four other areas of the city. reduced crime drastically double-digits over the years but more important than that, steve was the goodwill and the legitimaticy that we've built with community members. so these weekly meetings with the community members and the officers play a crucial role i've been stating for the last several years as when i was on the police, the american police is at a crossroads and i kept on saying that. so we just ran over that crossroads sign, and so american policing has to have some innovation. for the chiefs who are out there , the captains who might be listening to this , you're a

front line supervisor sargents they have some idea goods they need to be listened to also. that was one of the frustrations i had when i was an officer on the ground. steve: you know, and the way this was applied in iraq i mean go back in time a lot of the iraqis didn't want the american troops there and so what did did you do? you belt relationships with the local residents and you figured out okay, we're here for this purpose. you know, this is where we are in american cities right now. they're all out of people in america's communities who don't want the cops there, so this kind of application is a perfect extension of what you're talking about. >> i believe so, steve. i mean, i had a moment back in 2009 in the north end of springfield when it was the height of the crime in that area, it was on fire with shootings, gang violence, open air drug selling, and i remember going to my sargent and asking

him if i could go in the inner city as a dismounted patrol and this is where our leadership is patrol so i had a sargent that would allow me to do something that was different and creative and here is a trooper dismounted out of his vehicle, parking in the inner city streets engaging shop orders, so they were viewing me like i was an alien from outer space but i knew eventually someone was going to talk to me and one store owner at a convenience store, a gas station, was telling me about the gang members walking in and robbing the place, taking items out, flashing their weapons at store clerks and i asked them why aren't you calling springfield police or the state police? we have them right up the street and his response, steve, floored me and except this in motion for me. he wasn't anti-police or anything. he just looked at me and he goes what are you going to do trooper its always been this way. and that struck me as that level that that was his normal and i realize hey, we have to approach

this problem differently. we have to look at the problem set through the lens of the people who live in these communities and that was something that was embedded and tarred me with my years with the army special forces that your greatest resource isn't the community it's the people on the ground and so c 3 focuses on that. we have eight building blocks that we utilize, when we meet with the community members to allow them to empower them and take back their community from criminal actors. steve: mike, i am sure there are a lot of people looking in right now, either in law enforcement or maybe in government who would like more information about c 3. how do they get a hold of you? >> yeah, thanks, steve. yeah it's trinityprojectc3.com and there's a website with the information and background and our story and what we can do to help and i look forward to helping any agency that needs help and the community.

steve: thank you. absolutely. mike cutone, thank you very much for your service and thank you very much for stopping by on this friday to tell us about c 3 it's a really great idea. >> thank you, steve for having me on. god bless you. steve: you bet. thank you, sir. all right, still ahead on this friday. a 22-year-old woman shot and killed while leaving a protest. her heartbroken family now calling for an end to the violence. her grieving aunt is going to join us live, next.

she wanted to always fight for what she believed in and she was there with a group of trends and she noticed that the crowd was beginning to get a little unruly. the tone was changing and she texted her sister to tell her this and her sister texted her back and said you need to leave and she was attempting do that when she was shot and killed. ainsley: she was trying to get into someone's car to leave? >> yeah, she was in someone's car and she was shot in the back ainsley: my goodness. do they know who did this? >> they have told us that they have some leads that they are looking into but there's nothing concrete at the moment. ainsley: and this is your sister 's child. how is the family doing?

>> a little numb. we're going through the motions to give her peace and to rest and right now that's what we're focusing on and we have hope that through avenues like this , her death will have some meaning and that brings us little hope. ainsley: she died fighting for what she thought was right. what was she like? tell us about her so we can honor her this morning? >> italia never met someone that she didn't smile at. she wanted to make sure that everybody smiled with her and she lived every day 100%. that was her goal from the minute she woke up to the minute she went to bed was to

live every single day to the fullest, and she did that and we are very grateful that she lived that way. ainsley: well, violence took away your niece and your sister 's life will never be the same. christmas won't be the same or whatever holidays you all celebrate. what is your message to the people who are violent? >> that they need to stop. that no other family needs to be grieving the way that we are grieving. no mother needs to hold the hand of their dead child and prepare for a funeral. those who are being violent and those who are looting, they are over shadowing the voice of the protesters who are seeking change and it needs to stop.

ainsley: well, amy i'm really sorry for your loss. thank you for coming on and hopefully someone listening heard that message and hopefully we can save more lives. thank you, god bless your family >> thank you very much. ainsley: you're welcome. it's 32 minutes after the top of the hour. we have a fox news alert. may jobs report is out. 2.5 million jobs were added, the unemployment rate falling to 13.3%. we have more on those numbers coming up next plus judge jeanine on the evidence that bill barr has proving antifa is behind the hijacking of the george floyd protest. vo: we are ready

it's actually pretty good news, griff. griff: that's right, steve, 2.5 million jobs were added in may. economists predicted 8 million jobs be lost, ainsley. ainsley: wow that is good news then and the national unemployment rate is down to 13.3%. it was 14.7% in april, it was predicted to rise to nearly 20%. guys do you think this is just a sign that things are reopening, businesses are getting back to business, and rehiring these furloughed employees? steve: yeah, exactly right, ainsley as the country reopens, people are going back to work, they're not filing for unemployment. it's still a jaw dropping number , but given the fact that just a month ago it was, i think , 14.7%, so we are headed in the right direction. of course the president and his supporters have suggested that he hopes it's a v-shaped recovery.

we went down. he hopes we go straight up. that remains to be seen but nonetheless, 2.5 million jobs added in the month of may, griff griff: and i think what we'll see , steve, a lot of economists point to that 20% unemployment number and the fact that we're not going to be near that is expected to hit that, right, ainsley? and that would have been the first time since the great depression that we hit that 20%, so in turn, this much lower number should add some confidence that if we haven't bottomed out we are certainly in a better place than we thought we were in confidence of course as you guys know, will drive some of the numbers to perhaps head in the right direction rather than the wrong direction. ainsley: that's right. all right, well after a week, full of chaos, and violence, overshadowing calls for justice from protesters, attorney general bill barr now confirming outside radical groups are helping to instigate the division.

listen. >> we have evidence that antifa and other similar extremist groups as well as actors of a variety of different political persuasions have been involved in instigating and participating in the violent activity. steve: here to discuss host of justice with judge jeanine and author of those two new york times best sellers liars, leaker s and liberals and radical s, resistance and revenge she's judge jeanine pirro. judge good morning to you. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning. steve: you know, one of the other things that happened this week did not get a lot of publicity is the fact that bill barr whose the point person on this federal response to the trouble, apparently it looks as if what they have done is they have the doj has authorized the dea to effectively use all of their assets to figure out who the troublemakers are.

that's significantly different than if it were just the local police looking into it. >> well, yeah. it appears that bill barr is well aware of what's going on and i think that most americans can figure this out, steve. i mean, bill barr made it very clear. look we've got peaceful protesters. thank god for them they have the right to do what they're doing and god bless them for taking up this cause, because i haven't met one person in law enforcement, prosecutor, or anybody else who wasn't horrified by what they saw in the george floyd case. then you've got the looters. these guys are criminals. they are just individuals who were just taking advantage of business men and women in america and then you've got those agitators who were looking to insight a civil war in this country. these agitators whether they're from within this country or outside of this country, whether they're foreign or

domestic, the whole point is to create chaos and anarchy and we've been kind of hearing about this but not really experiencing it. covid-19 gave us the petri dish within which to be able to have this occur. while most of us are in our homes, and afraid to go to church, everybody else is out there rioting, protesting doing whatever they want to do and i think my message to americans is like you know, the covid problem is down. you make a decision for yourself but that's not why i'm on this morning. this is something where we can track very easily the money, the drugs, we're talking about drug cartels now coming in, and the financial transaction using rico organized criminal enterprise statutes, we've got phone records, we've got videos on cameras. there's all kinds of technological advantages that we have that will identify these

people. we cannot back down now. i don't want to hear, you know, it's time to let everybody blow off steam. hog wash. it's time to get back to america , get back to business, people need to walk down the street without being afraid that they're going to get their heads bashed in by some antifa person in a ninja outfit with a mask on and a backpack. griff: judge i've got to ask you about the movement that is coast to coast now from los angeles to new york, minneapolis, city council later today going to vote on dismantling possibly their police force and now you have this police defunding proposals all across the country i don't have to tell you you're a judge and a prosecutor about what this would do to the nation as a whole when it comes to the rule of law and just keeping order. what do you make of these proposals? >> the end goal of defunding police departments is to create further anarchy and chaos.

you know, i have spoken at many police academy graduations and i remind those rookies, now new police officers, that they are the one line of defense between anarchy and a peaceful society, between barberism and a civilized society. if you want anarchy, get rid of the police department but i'll tell you what from someone who spent 30 years in the trenches, fighting, you know, against evil in this country, we have a civil war every day in terms of crime, in terms of shooting and stabbings and drug deals, domestic violence, child abuse, bank robberies. you want to now put the money in the minority community? okay i don't have a problem with that. you know, i created hate crimes, i fought for a hate crimes law in new york. i get it and i support it but if you think that we're going to take police out of the united states of america, you got another thing coming. go to venezuela, go to a country

where they don't have a police department and see if you like it there. there needs to be order. there needs to be some kind of structure or framework so that when people are wrong, there is justice. otherwise it's not america. take down the flag, change the name of the country and call it a day. this is shameful. ainsley: you know judge i was watching an interview with someone who had their store loot ed. he was an immigrant from another country, came to america for a better life and said this looks like turkey. he was from turkey. he said i have african americans who work for me and now they are out of jobs. i called the police they are so overwhelmed it's going to take weeks to come to my shop but if you defund the police department , if you don't have a police department in minneapolis , how are those people ever going to get justice? >> we're going to return to vig ilante justice. everybody will get a gun and this will turn into total chaos. people don't know how to handle

guns in this situation like this there will be no economic success in this country that we are destined for after this covid situation. this is about donald trump. this is about the left versus the right. this is about anarchy and chaos versus democracy and a republic of the united states of america being the most successful nation , the most free nation on earth, and they hate it. they want to impose socialism, they hate law and order, they hate the flag. you know as far as i'm concerned , this is a nation that was founded on certain rights. it's the capitalist country, we were built on the judeo- christian health ices and this is a country where one man, one vote, and they want to destroy it all and they want to frighten us. they can't do it any more. they can't. i'm going to talk about this on my show this weekend. i've got bernie karek and rudy giuliani. they turned new york city around

i'm going to talk to them about what they would do if they were in city hall or in the nypd. we've also got jim jordan, what's going on in congress right now is crazy, laura trump, brilliant as always, and kellyanne conway. there's a lot of issues confront ing us today, and we've got to get this country back on track and end this nonsense, and i'm going to talk about how derek chauvin should be charged with murder 1, not murder 3, not murder 2, murder 1 and i'm going to lay it out for you. steve: okay we'll be waiting for that tomorrow night on the fox news channel. judge jeanine thank you very much for joining us on this friday. ainsley: thanks, judge. steve: all right, meanwhile, restaurant chain in philadelphia apologizing for offering free lunch to police officers after some violence. well now the union is boycotting the restaurant. the union's president calls it a disgrace he's going to join us

after issuing an apology for offering free lunch to officers. they were writing in a letter to their community "the decision was made in haste after a night of destruction and looting, it was insensitive and we in seerly apologize." here to discuss president of the fraternal order of police lodge 5, john mcneezy whose a 22 year veteran of the philadelphia police force, john good morning to you what do you make of having a widely-respected and loved eatery and this was a sign of good faith and gesture coming together, but now this? >> right. we're in the middle of out there trying to protect the community, protect these businesses that are out there being looted and in danger, and i mean if they wanted to offer the lunch fine, nobody asked for it they did it but why turnaround and slap the cops overhead? it's just you turn around and now you apologize for something

we didn't do. you had a couple knuckle heads across the country do what they did and nobody, nobody appreciates that especially law enforcement because it makes our job a lot harder, but to turn around and to offer something not that we needed it, but it was a nice thing, a bottle of water would have been nice. griff: and john, well you're now asking for people to boycott, is that correct? >> yeah, we're going to boycott them for now and turn up the heat once this is done, once this all of this thuggery in the city at night, it's different from the protesters, they are out there doing what they need to do but we will turn up the boycott once this is over and make sure the people that were paying attention during this time will know exactly why we're boycotting it and we don't want police officers there, they won't go. i can guarantee you that and we'll move forward with that as we progress. griff: do you think debruno brothers really made a bigger mistake than they

realized? your police commissioner there, very brand new, just came on in february. she came from portland, but she's a african american woman. she has two sons, 21 and 18. so clearly, she understands the distrust of law enforcement the community there in philadelphia and yet, this gesture was helping you guys protect the streets so peaceful protests could happen against police policies. >> exactly. i mean, she's out there trying to keep a lid on the pot, it's a tough job. the temperatures are hot. tempers are hot, and you know, you got to balance that and she's brand new here like you said so she's trying to feel her way around and hit with all of this but in the meantime i think they made a big mistake. we have plenty of businesses out there in the city of philadelphia who are helping police and dropping donations off, we're making sure our officers are hydrated, and you know what we don't need debruno

brothers. it was a nice guest our, a bottle of whatever, and i do believe they're out there. now apologizing and pandering to these groups that are out there, actually causing harm to our city and our community. they are different from the protesters. these groups are terrorist groups. griff: john, we got to leave it there. we will be keeping your men and women in blue in our thoughts. thank you, sir. >> all right, man thanks. griff: all right, more fox & friends moments away. their qualy they were the first to have a vitamin verified by usp... ...an independent organization that sets strict quality and purity standards nature made, the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand
