>> our streets. >> whose streets? >> our "house." >> who's house? pete: we begin sunday morning with a fox news alert. thousands of protesters gather in washington, d.c. and across the country with a protest of george floyd. mostly they remained peaceful. griff: professors in portland, oregon it through fireworks in clashes with police. jedediah: two sheriff's deputies were hurt. both treated for possible concussions. 50 people were arrested. welcome to "fox & friends." with pete hegseth, griff jenkins

we'll bring you latest on what is happening with the protest all morning. pete: absolutely. portland has always been on the much more radical side of things. no surprise to see violence unfortunately continuing there. it is worth noting it seems that this movement, this moment has moved into a peaceful protest phase, give, especially in washington, d.c., where you are which is a very good thing. griff: we were very happy, pete, to see it was peaceful. some 200,000 took to the streets in d.c. one. interesting developments, we'll talk about later today, the mayor who painted black lives matter on the street in front. white house, put up a street sign dedicating black lives plaza, the black lives matter group here in d.c. said she was appeasing white liberals. jedediah: we'll begin in

minneapolis because protesters are booing the minneapolis marry fusing to defund city police, kicking him out of a rally. matt finn joins us live from minneapolis. with more on the confrontation. matt. reporter: jedediah, it was a rather remarkable development yesterday, the mayor showed up to a very large demonstration in downtown minneapolis, he walked through the crowd of thousands of people by himself and took to the stage. event was organized by a group called black visions collective, demachinedded that the minneapolis police be defunded. when the mayor got to the, he said he was responsible for death of george floyd investing in a police department. they asked the mayor if he would vow to defund the police. he says he takes responsibility with coming to grips over his own shortcomings, but he does not support the full abolition of police. he sides there needs to be

structural changes to systemic racism in the littles department. he was booed out of the downtown crowd. they said go home jacob. here is the particular exchange. the mayor is in the crowd right below the stage so you can't see him. >> as mayor of minneapolis, who is responsible for the the deatf george floyd i am investing to minneapolis police department, by not listening to community members, i hear. are you going to vow right now, the only question we have for you to the abolish the machine minn police department? >> i am mayor of city. [inaudible] i do have to take responsibility for this. >> jacob frey, we have yes or no question for you, yes or no, will you commit to defunding the minneapolis police department?

we don't want no more police, that clear? the. reporter:red crowd said the mayor is up for re-election next year and they chanted, they will win. back to you guys. pete: appreciate that report. there is another vantage point of the video i think we show later on in the program. it is from the the stage. amazing scene. leader of the protest, yes or no question, jacob frey, will you defund the police in minneapolis. he doesn't want to answer it. you can see it in his face he doesn't want to say yes or no. i want to say the graduate student turned mayor of minneapolis, he ultimately said i don't think we should dismantle the or defund the minneapolis. at which point the entire crowd turned on him. he walked out it would have been amazing for him to say yes. this guy has not been friendly to the police. i am not giving him credit.

in order to maintain order in city like minneapolis you can't defund the police. that is absurd. jedediah: what is alternative for people if they run into harm's way, they need to contact someone to help them. that is typically the police. i want to know what the alternative will be, what recourse people will have. it is so crazy to me it got so extreme. you can no longer say, listen things have fon wrong. there needs to be structural reform in the police department. these are the suggested reforms i support. you have to go all-in, defund or dismantle the police. we don't want a police presence anywhere here. that is where it has gotten. that is crazy in light looking at the riots. when you look at imagery of all the looting that's gone on and rioting gone on, what if the that situation arose and no police on the ground? i would ask the people supporting defunding. griff: one solution fifths all

doesn't apply. camden, new jersey, was the fifth most dangerous city in the nation. they didn't dismantle and completely started over with their police department. they are one of the low err crime areas. those are serious reforms, serious solutions, not defund the police. dan bongino, longstanding law enforcement officer had this to say last night talking about this very idea. >> things like absurdities defund the police? coming from hillary spokesman fallon on his twitter account, brian fallon? don't even mention the term black lives matter if you say subsequently defund the police. are you nuts? who will stand in the divide and defend people in communities where they need the police? "the avengers," superman? the police do that. they're the think line between

chaos and civility? pete: dan is absolutely right. there is map of cities considering. we're not saying it will happen. some places mayor supports it. some times city council supporting. that is lot of major cities in the united states of america. when you look how we police, i talk to a lot of police officers last couple days who were very thoughtful about this, recognize there have been issues. it is about leadership and culture. it is about training and protocol. we miss operational tempo, mental health, how these police departments don't have enough officers. so it is overtime. they're going out time and time again. and they're stretched thin and overworked. if you have politicians that are risk-averse, you have limited options, you have the option of doing less as a police officer, cutting corners and that's when you get into booed places. many of them, i feel the same way, you need more cops to train them properly, give them shifts

manageable for their life-styles, so they spend out in the community getting to know people, establishing relationships, that is how you de-escalations. cuttings them only means you will make the problem absolutely worse. griff: that is definitely the case. the trust has been broken, there is no doubt about that and that is one of issues that will be dealt with. meanwhile here in washington there are calls to defund the police echoing outside the white house as thousands pack the streets in the nation's capital. chad pergram joins us live from, as they prepare to reveal a new police reform by that bill likely to get some open significance. reporter: griff, nine consecutive days of protests in washington, d.c. the biggest crowd yet, tens of thousands of people on the streets of washington, d.c., but it was a peaceful demonstration. protesters gathered around the u.s. capitol.

they milled around the black live matters plaza near the white house. demonstrators began to steps sill defund the police on washington streets. some in the black lives matter movement that d.c. mayor muriel browser is paying lip service to quash the violence. >> one power of people, end police brutality and end violence going on in the streets. >> systemic. it will take some level of systemic change. we're out here every day. reporter: all this comes just before a big week on capitol hill. house speaker nancy pelosi, members of the congressional black caucus and others will introduce a sweeping bill designed to curb police violence. called the justice in policing act of 2020. here is what it does. it would prohibit police from using chokeholds and carotid holds. forms of immunity for police officers that go to too far.

expand department of justice to investigate police and prevent discrimemation. >> challenge we face in this body what are we going to do. that is the question that protesters are demanding, what will change? will we be a society racked and spasmed by protests and demonstration every so often. reporter: tomorrow is just the roll out of the bill. there is hearing on police violence before the house judiciary committee on wednesday and another one before the senate judiciary committee next week. the other thing to watch for in the coming days there is big back and forth between house democrats wanted to hear from mark milley, the chair of the join chiefs of staff and mark esper, the defense secretary, about use of military trying to quell the protests. there is a dispute getting them to testify. the pentagon is not saying they won't come and testify. they're offering lower tier officials to give a briefing in the coming days. a lot of focus on these issues

on capitol hill next week. back to you guys. griff: chad, very quick follow-up question, are you hearing any rumblings of opposition to this reform bill, particularly, there is a standard lowering in it which could really put a lot of cops at risk of very heavy prosecution? reporter: absolutely. that is what we expect to hear from some republicans. we have not even formal opposition. we don't have bill text. democrats will turn this around on republicans. wait a minute people are demonstrating in the streets. you're not for police reform. we don't know exactly when they might try to move the bill in coming weeks. we think end of june, perhaps in july. pete: chad pergram, thank you very much. the lesson often times beware the sweeping bill where they tell you it will solve any problem. there's a lot going into the details. griff: i have a more to say about that. i'm looking at some of the propositions, jed. jedediah: yeah.

no, i was going to say we haven't seen fine print on bill. i would caution republicans if democrats come out with a bill, you don't like it for whatever reason, you need to expose why, have your own solutions. often times, republicans get painted they didn't come up with their own solution. this happened with health care, a lot of key issues for the public. we are in election season. you can't look like a party not solving a problem people are really concerned about. griff: more on that. turning to headlines, fox news alert, a california sheriff's deputy shot and killed. santa cruise sheriff's department walked into an ambush of gunfire and explosives responding to calls about a suspicious vehicle. >> my 32 year career, the worst day that i ever experienced. today we lost one much our own and he was a true hero. griff: two other deputies injured. the suspect is facing

recovering. the thing is you have to have a mind-set going out there, have to have your head on a swivel all the way around. you have to protect life from property but you have to be prepared for the unknown. looking at films, watching all the footage, it is very upsetting to see attacks taking place on people who go out there to protect life and property. we're protecting life and property throughout this whole thing. we're solving crimes throughout the whole event takes place. this is crazy to see this happening. pete: how do police officers decide the level of force they use or level of aggression, when you're being violently attacked but in the moment where there is so much scrutiny? how do they make that decision? >> the tough part on it, my hat goes off to nypd and officers across the country and it is a thin line. the tough part, you know you're going out there and what you're trained to do, you're under political scrutiny and flashlight is on you, causing officers to hesitate.

when they're hesitating they're the ifing injured, causing other police officers to get injured, when they go down, so does the public, the public goes down also. they're not there. what we hope that doesn't happen, you will put police officers in the position that they are going to depolice and meaning that they have will only be reactive as opposed to proactive and solving crimes and defending things. pete: doctor, often happens in a moment like this, washington, d.c. attempting to respond. democrats proposing a sweeping bill that would alter immunity amongst other things. are there things you would like to see? what would you like not to see real quick. >> like throwing the baby out with the bathtub. if you want to nationalize something, use of force, make that journey, that is fine. qualified immunity, we go out there to make split-second decisions cause our life. for a split-second decision, you want to attack me, you want to sue me, you want to take my property? like a few good men, pick up a weapon and take a post.

house. it comes as democrats prepare to unveil a sweeping policing reform bill tomorrow. jed. jedediah: thanks, griff. housing market is bouncing back as coronavirus restrictions ease across the country. new survey shows sales of newly-built homes surged to 21% in may a sign that the market is recovering. here with more, pwc partner mitch roschelle. welcome to the show as always. this is good news for the housing market. tell us why this is happening and what we can expect. >> morning, jed. generally we sell around six million homes a year. about half a million of those are new homes. the fact of the matter is, because of the coronavirus that industry largely has been locked down and there is tremendous amount of pent-up demand for people to home shop, this is the time of year when people typically home shop. we're starting to see it. all 50 states are easing restrictions in some way, shape or form. people want to get out there

like they do this time of year and go buy a home. jedediah: mitch, one of the challenges i face, i was looking to buy a home, because of the coronavirus restrictions i couldn't get into a lot of spaces to actually feel and breathe, be in the homes. now it is all virtual home hunting. so when people are faced with that reality, that is just part of our every dye reality right now, what are tips that can be put into place so they can still get the home they love and they want with these given restrictions for the time right now? >> yeah. i have a few of them. back to the virtual part, i think one of the things that is a challenge, and i've done it myself, i sort of been voyeur is i cannily house hunting talking to realtors about a second home. when you do it by face time or zoom, it is just not the same. my line is, one thing you can't do is smell a musty basement over face time. you need to still get out there the old-fashioned way, walk around the house, open closet

doors, really see it up close and personal. it is very difficult to do it virtually. jedediah: yeah. so some of the tips that we see, i don't know if we can put those up for people. don't be impulsive. remember that brokers work for the seller. that is an important point. can you speak to that a little bit? >> yeah. i think a lot of people forget that, when you're pieing a home, you spend most of your time with a realtor who you build a relationship with, who you feel sort of your advocate. but the fact of the matter legally they work for the seller. they are paid by the seller. if there are things that you need to get done like checking property taxes or organizing an inspection, really best to do it yourself, especially in this virtual world where you can be far away from where the property is. so, just got to remember that broker works for the seller, not for you. jedediah: another important point is that the mortgage process is slow and i know a lot of people forget that i myself

was warned about this because you always want a quick return, you find the house you want, am i in today, can i do it by tonight? so how long does it usually take? >> the housing market is going to get more competitive and people are going to start doing things like waving the mortgage contingency in their contract, meaning that if they don't get approved for a mortgage they can't get out of the contract. right now because there are over a trillion dollars mortgage refinances in the pipeline from people in their existing homes, that process is very, very slow. so don't rush yourself. don't paint yourself into a corner but it could take literally months before you get amortgage approval. jedediah: oh, wow. mitch roschelle thanks for breaking it down. i will always some of the tips in my search. >> good luck, jed. jedediah: thank you. from paris to japan, george floyd protests are now happening around the world as calls to

pete: back with a fox news alert. from minneapolis to london, george floyd protesters across three continents taking to the streets despite curfews and lock downs as move to defund the police gains steam. griff: joining us fox news contributor lawrence jones. lawrence, good morning to you.

>> good morning, guys. griff: all right, so here we are, sunday morning. we saw thousands of protesters, tens of thousands turning out across the country. peaceful, mostly. but we also see the defund the police movement gaining steam and while the focus has been completely on abolishing local police departments, also school districts and universities contemplating ending their relationship with the police. umass, boston cut their ties with the state there is a lot going here. what is your take on it? >> you know we're having these conversations, i'm reminded of our brother pete's book, america's crusade, the fight to stay free. you know there has been protests all over the country. it just doesn't start here. it started during the pandemic when government was abusing their power. it started when mother was taken to jail because she was on the

play ground, gym clothes, now we have the side, where the state abuses power and takes someone's life. and so i think most people agree on that point. now when it relates to the defund the movement, that is the direct response to us not saying, this is the right way to go on it. now disagree with it. i think it is dumb but i do think there is an alternative from the right that can be proposed to get rid of that progressive idea. pete: lawrence, it is not just in the streets but also of our communities, but also school districts. you have schools with work, normally work with police departments, saying we don't want to do that anymore, charlottesville, chicago, denver, minneapolis, portland, phoenix, to name a few, universities as griff mentioned, potentially severing their ties with police departments. so we had this, what happened in

minneapolis with george floyd. riots police are there to quell, working with the national guard. we're at a home gone peaceful which is good. people say we need to defund with the police, we'll not work with them anymore what impact does that have on further relations? police aren't going anywhere. how does it become constructive? >> well, i don't think that is constructive. that is why i feel like we got to have a conversation about monitoring, no-knock warrants, when it comes to diversity training, how police should be, understanding, then making sure that the cops have adequate tools to do their job. unfortunately, between this conversation, you got the police union and then you have the progressive left as well want their spin on it as well. we all have to come to the table, because at the end of the day, pete, you're right, we need good cops. majority do their job and serve with honor but the bad apples,

we got to get rid of them. not defund the entire police department. i think we can do that if we actually have a conversation but again, as i continue to say, if the right does not present our proposal, when these things happen in the country, the left wins. their policy will be the law and i'm not sure that they won't start defunding police departments if we don't come to the table with our alternative. jedediah: lawrence, i want to ask you in particular about issue of schools. i worked on these campuses. typically campus police work very closely with local law enforcement. they need them. they rely on them. they call out when emergencies arise. check out the quote from catherine newman, interim chancellor at umass boston. members of the majority minority campus felt unheard, offended or frightened by the presence on campus of state police. this is a problem that certainly needs to be addressed and maybe, you saw reforms within the

police department will address it but you cannot have campus police unable to communicate and work with local law enforcement when you're managing a college campus. >> especially when it comes to active shooters and the fact that you know, you have people every single day planning or plotting terrorists plotting the next attack. i don't think it is smart but i do understand a certain level of fear as well. and that is always relationships. like i continue to say, the majority of cops are going out there serving with honor. they want respect. they want to give the community respect. we've seen some videos highlighted on my twitter page of the community coming together. what we're seeing right now is a fringe element, present ideas they know won't come true, right? the pressure to change the snare tiff, but if we present our plan, we say you know what? we disagree with that. we think that is too radical.

on the right we believe in liberty about, we believe in justice. we want it fair and balanced. we want people to have the right to face their accuser. we want due process but we want certain monitoring. jedediah: yeah. i mean i couldn't agree with you more. i think folks on the right need to have their own plan. republicans need to come up with solutions and show the public they care about this issue. thank you, lawrence. >> we got to lead on it. pete: you're right if you don't get ahead of it, be proactive about it, someone's bad ideas become the law of the land. it is a great point. lawrence jones, thanks. jedediah: thanks, lawrence. we'll turn to some headlines for you. places of worship reopening sooner than expected in new york as covid-19 deaths drop to a record low. >> we're going to open the of valve more than we originally anticipated because the metrics are so good. in phase two, they can open up to 25% occupancy of that

kamala harris, that is an interesting top two. what do you think? >> i think it is a terrible top two. i get the point f you're going to be playing big at the texas democratic convention which was a virtual convention it could be a dry run but elizabeth warren, okay, that is a pick if you're trying to still get the bernie bro to be with you, they see joe biden as moderate. she is wholly unlikeable panned she is a liar. kamala harris that is a pick if you're the democratic party desperate to check box. the nominated the second oldest, clearly whitest candidate you possibly could, but she called joe biden a segregation it. she has issue who she put in jail laughing all the way. they can't actually think that either one of these vice-presidential possibilities are, is what is going to bring the party with them. they're so much ammunition that could be used against them, not from a political right but from the political left, just i can't see either one of these two

being the true choice. griff: tony, harpries took a lot of criticism for her time as attorney general in, and d.a. in san francisco when she came in. now that we have police reform on the front burner and biden's previous problems and criticisms from the 1994 crime bill, is harris really a nonstarter? is this all parlor talk? >> i think she is a nonstarter. i think is one of those conventional wisdom conversations that has no wisdom whatsoever. my money on val demmings the representative of florida. former police chief of orlando. checking boxes, black woman, one of the impeachment managers. she could satisfy for democrats a lot. she could have the police reform conversation that america wants or, large majority of america wants far better than others. i think it helps her. i don't think it hurts her. i don't know if joe biden interesting to me. griff: very interesting. a police cheever sus harris.

pete: chime in on nascar as well on this, you have a new series on "fox nation," "fox nation" outdoors. you go on excursions with famous outdoorsman, one is kurt busch. talk to us about him and this cool special. >> this show i'm so excited about. this is more about showing middle america, fly-over states, the south, all over the country where people go outdoors and they hunt, fish and they enjoy the world that god made for us. not this fake technology we created for ourselves. it is about taking a breadth. a lot of guests, ted nugent, kurt busch, randy couture, mma fighter, what they do to slow their lives down, get touch with nature. we show you some of that. it is a lot of fun. you learn a lot about hunting. you learn a lot about each other. how people that live these extraordinary lives connect with nature and back with their own

spirit. pete: very cool. here is a quick clip of you with kurt busch doing a little archery. watch. >> let's go bow hunting, because i want to teach you, joey, learn and put a lot of practice and time with you. >> i haven't killed a animal with a bow. i will be on the list. you're bringing me on my first bow hunt. pete: were you successful? can you tell us? >> yes. every hunt that you get out into the woods and see animals and feel experience within your soul, that is successful hunt. we didn't harvest an animal because it was my first time bow hunting. i had a lot to learn. a lot of difference between shooting at a target an a live animal. we were trying to harvest hogs because it is a cattle farm. you need to take them off because it is invasive. it was a lot of fun. check it out. jedediah: joey, that is awesome. i'm a big fan of reality tv. this appeals to me.

can't wait to see it. "fox nation" outdoors, available tomorrow. joey, we appreciate it. pete: good stuff, brother. jedediah: more "fox & friends" coming up on the other side. eris before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills. discover all the ways we're helping members today.

frey to leave, yelling shame. we've been covering the latest in the protests. efforts by many cities to consider tee funding the police as well as colleges and universities that may be potentially backing that policy and implications of all that. pete: no surprise we see violence in portland that has been basically the headquarters of antifa and violent, radical leftists. thankfully otherwise elsewhere in the country. it has been effectively peaceful. roads are blocked, lives are disturbed but peaceful protest is a part of what we do in this country. i'm glad, griff, to see it moved in that direction. griff: absolutely we had 200,000 in d.c. the mayor naming that black lives matter plaza, getting pushback from black lives matter there is so many attention and criticism of president trump. really d.c. is where this is going to ultimately come to as congress starts looking at way to reform things.

we were glad to see peace in the streets last night. pete: we'll get back to that video from minneapolis mayor jacob frey. not right now. we'll get back to it in this hour. it is fascinating but before we do, overnight george floyd protests remaining measly peaceful in new york as nypd release as video of a knife attack on officers. aishah hasnie joins us in new york city where protesters threatened to burn down the diamond district which is half a block from here. reporter: that's right, guys, i'm standing in the middle of the diamond district. there are stores boarded up all around me. business owners are afraid of looters and now they're waking up to this threat of a protest leader, an organizer, threatening on our channel, live on our channel that he would possibly burn down the diamond district. now the man has not been arrested. he was though detained by police, taken in for questioning. he described himself as leader of "the ft" p movement.

he said that those letters stood for a lot of different things and could also mean fire to property. listen what he said on our air. >> i'm hoping to de blasio and cuomo come out and talk to us and give the youth some direction but if they don't, the next stop is the diamond district. gasoline, thanks to trump is awfully cheap. reporter: the nypd tweeting earlier tonight, a man wearing this mask threatening in a live fox interview threatened to burn diamond district down in hours. we identify the man. took him in to be interviewed. george floyd protests continue. the marchs continued remained mostly peaceful in new york overnight as nypd releasing surveillance video after knife attack on an officer last week. the nypd says it was a planned assassination attempt on a police officer. the suspect is said to have yelled "allahu akbar!" before stabbing that officer.

fortunately the officer survived. by the way, guys, 292 officers have been injured in these protests so far. pete, jed, griff. pete: real quick, do you know anything about how much follow-up is being done on officers injured? what is the nypd doing to find looters, attackers, rioters, where are they in that process? reporter: so far we don't know if they're able to find these looters. obviously a lot of them are wearing masks. some of these lootings are happening right in front of the view of the police and arrests are not being made at that time. so it is not clear that anything is being done to follow up. pete: wow. aishah hasnie, thank you so much. a lot of us hope, jed, at least eventually accountability would come for law breakers but there has been so much anarchy here on these streets it has been tough for the nypd to keep up. jedediah: it really has. one of the reasons we've been talking about peaceful protests now being in the majority, thankfully, one of the reasons

that is able to happen because of that police presence that has been on the ground, that has enabled peaceful protesters feel safe enough to come out and make their voices heard. of course you have had a lot of police scrutiny happening right now. a lot of people saying we need to defund the police, we need to dismantle the police on the other side of. [inaudible]. a nypd detective talked a lot about the dangers of political scrutiny on cops. listen what he had to say. >> you are going out there. you know what you've been trained to do but you're under so much political scrutiny and a flashlight is on you, which causing to hesitate. at the same time when they're hesitating they're getting injured. causing other police officers to get injured. when they go down so bus the public. the public goes down because they're not there. what that will happen you put police officers in a position they will depolice. meaning that they will only be reactive as opposed to proactive in solving crimes and defending things. griff: such a great point.

i hope that sort past the conversation as congress looks to actual reforms. speak of congress, you have, pete, your favorite member of congress from new york, alexandria ocasio-cortez. pete: you know it. griff: throwing herself into this, throwing support behind an idea. let me give you a quote what she is now weighing in on. she says, it is one that i am actively engaged in, advocacy for reduction of really, truly talking about the reduction of our nypd budget and defunding a 6 billion-dollar nypd budget, cost us books in the hands of our children and cost us badly-needed investment in the housing authority and public housing. so this is going to be the debate, right? less cops, more community involvement. however, you do have to realize when you make these decisions that it is the poorest communities that will be most vulnerable with fewer cops on the streets. pete: great point.

asiah talked about, 292 officers in new york city alone been injured. we saw a city looting and on fire because the police were incapable of managing what is going on before the protests turned peaceful. comrade cortez believes we should defund the budget and reduce the amount of police officers? that logic simply does not add up. minneapolis, part of where it started. you're hearing a lot about defund or disband the police. there were protests there yesterday. munn minn mayor, jacob frey, a democrat, black lives matter protest, called for defunding police. he walked up to the stage and was willing to answer questions from the event organizer. i don't think he anticipated it would go this way. here is what happened. >> jacob frey, we have a yes or no question for you. yes or no, will you commit to defunding minneapolis police

department? >> go home. go home. go home. [shouting] >> jake. jake. pete: jacob frey has been abysmal failure doing with this. you have to give him a little bit of credit when the group was on him, screaming at him, he would not at least say, such a low bar, you don't even want to give him credit, i weren't defund the police. he was run out of the event. jedediah: yeah. it is scary. this is completely insane to go to completely defunding or even cutting funds to the police at a time when we just been watching footage in some areas of looting and rioting. those communities needing protection more than ever. i would ask every single politician calling for defunding of police to tell me and have to

answer to the public what they're alternative would be. where are those people supposed to go? where are individuals who face distressing situations supposed to go? who are they calling if they need help if you are putting less policemen on the ground and minimizing efforts of police to respond. they should be able to provide an answer for that. you need an alternative solution. i don't know what that possibly could be. they should be asked and they should have to answer. pete: it's there. we've done it before. training, leadership, operational tempo. not working people too much. not cutting corners. it is about culture. it can be done. they go to the draconian measure of getting rid of the cops, griff. it's amazing. jedediah: you also need, you also need, you need bodies, right? pete: exactly. jedediah: one of the issues if there are not enough policemen or women on the ground, they become panicked, distressed anyone would. if you cut funding, you want to cut people.

i want to know when somebody picks up on the phone and calls the cop and needs help because they are in distress, there are not enough police officers what is that person supposed to do? many people say you shouldn't have the second amendment rights, shouldn't defend yourself and family. if you can't have your second amendment rights to defend yourself and family, you call the cops, there are not enough cops, what are you supposed to do when there is a situation? i genuinely cannot follow the logic probably because it is completely illogical. those politicians making those outrageous statements for people at home, who need police to protect themselves for their families and communities. griff: to protect business. we are about to have more reopenings here across the country. people are looking forward to getting back to work. here is quick map. west virginia, delaware, rhode island. we had tony katz on, radio show host a little earlier, what they have to say. >> they still want to get to work.

michigan still doesn't allow it. governor gretchen whitmer told us it is not manufacturing. don't go to get a haircut. don't go to ohio to get a haircut. go on google, learn to give yourself a haircut. what do salon owners get cosmetology licenses for? manufacturing is the a same way. you need to fully open and get it going. pete: amen. 100%. people are looking at these protests which health care experts and political leaders who shamed us, shamed us, stay home, if you go out you're killing people, if you don't wear a mask you're killing people. now they're encouraging mass protests of 10, 100,000 people, the same citizens equal to all of us across the board. talk about these reopenings. that's fine, great. in delaware you can open a 30% capacity. why not 50? why not 70? why not 10? maybe west virginia we can open banned summer training programs. it is all arbitrary i are. when you look what happened with the protests people say, this makes no sense. it is a complete double

standard. my business is suffering. at this point, look at the state has have opened up. there has not been a spike in cases. that is what you need to look at. jedediah: you either care about the spread of the virus or you don't. you care about crowd size or you don't? be consistent about that and it. we turn to headlines. begin with fox news alert. a california's sheriff's deputy shot and killed. santa cruz sheriff's deputy, sergeant damon gutzwiller responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle. >> in my 32 year career this, is the worst day i ever experienced. today we lost one of our own. it he was a true hero. jedediah: two other deputies were injured. the suspect is facing first-degree murder charges. he was shot during his arrest. gutzwiller leaves behind a pregnant wife and young child.

trying to put a stranglehold on hong kong, one of the spokesperson there, morgan ortegas, tweeted this. she said this is a pivotal moment for the world t will go down in history. freedom loving people around the world must stand with the rule of law and hold into account the chinese communist party which has flagrantly broken its promise to the people of hong kong. a spokeswoman for the chinese foreign ministry, their state department, simply responded with this, i can't breathe. the communist chinese are trying to stoke the flames in our country. here is how secretary of state mike pompeo responded to that he said the chinese communist party callous exploitation of the tragic death ever george floyd to justify its exposes its true colors yet again. as with dictatorships throughout history, no lie is too obscene so far as it serves the party's lust for power. this laughable propaganda should not fool anyone. brian, your reaction?

>> it shouldn't. this is typical china. admit nothing. deny everything. make counter accusations. look at difference between the u.s. and china. in china we see re-education camps going on with the uyghurs. a million uyghurs, put behind bars, behind fences behind concrete walls because they're considered different than what the chinese communist party sees as the norm over there in the united states of america, when we see an injustice we treat every injustice as a big deal. that is what is going on right now. we don't put those people behind walls. we look at their grief vans. we recognize i had. we take it as something serious. that is the difference in the united states of america. griff: congressman, we have just a few moments but when we talk about withdrawals, president looking to maybe to withdraw some more troops. this one in germany. quick thoughts? >> it makes us more agile. you have the ability to move and deploy troops where they need to

departments across america. when you talk about giving kid so many offenses and putting arrest records on them so early, some of those things i disagree with. i actually work for the broward county public schools in a position that, you know, we help these kids not get offenses when they're nine, 10, 11 years old and they do something that is arrestable, we help to mentor them. you can do those types of things without ending police departments. i think the rhetoric has gone too far. pete: to that note, who do you call when they're needed the most? it is one thing on minor things which you're talking about and helping kids and mentoring which you do actively in broward county, your kids, i hope you are okay sharing this, your kids go to school district near parkland, florida, i believe it was that shooting district. they weren't in that school. you have friends that go to that school. ultimately you need law enforcement to intervene. if you kick them off campus you kicked off their ability to react when they're needed the

most. >> that's what is so sad. we watched it here in my community tragically. 17 people murdered within minutes. and so can you imagine if you had no police force and no ability to detain individuals in these scenarios? we have to be real as a nation. we know that, we know, that we have evilness and sinful people, we have people that will lose their mind and kill masses of people. so to start talking about getting rid of police, i mean you're asking for a lawless nation. you think those communities in minute minneapolis, communities in chicago, detroit, inner cities will be more safe with less police? there are fragments in america, folks in america that look for the situations to go to places where they will have law enforcement. that is what will happen. you will be calling in more issues and more problems for innocent people around america. we need to work, wake up. we need to wake up, start talking about how to improve

america, not abolish the different things that are institutions that we need to protect and serve. we have to have law and order. pete: jack, we only have a moment here, but break down the logic for me, the idea of totally disbanding the police. is it belief they're evil you have to get rid of them, is that what the activists are saying? >> i think they're saying it has gone on for so long, it is gone on, i mean injustices. you know, pete, let's be honest, no one's happy when a police officer murders someone and take as week to go detain them. no one is happy about that. but to get rid of all police departments as response to that is just, really putting a flame on the fire, extra flames on the fire because you're making the situation worse, you really are. especially in communities most vulnerable in the first place. jack brewer, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> always a pleasure. god bless you. pete: likewise.

as the country slowly, i emphasize slowly reopens,try your lurk on a vacation. las vegas and hawaii are hot spots with bookings surging 130% since april. we have the safest destinations there are so many toothpastes out there, which one should i use? try crest pro/active defense. it neutralizes bacteria for a healthier mouth than even the leading multi-benefit toothpaste. crest.

♪. griff: welcome back. the as the nation reopens, vacation rental bookings surging nearly 130% in april. as travel destinations like las vegas are officially reopen for business. what does this mean for travel deals? jedediah: let's bring in the cyber guy, curt knudson. welcome to the show as always. talk to me about deals we can get right now. >> jedediah, good morning, griff, birthday boy, pete,

fabulous deals going out there. you know, vegas just reopening. one of the reasons it is populating quite quickly, look at some of the hotel prices we found doing research online. crazy hotel deals. venetian, $100. flamingo at $32. caesars $77 and the wynn as low as 153. that was based on a one week stay in las vegas. and, i mean, these deals aren't just in las vegas. you got it all over the place. pete: it is interesting, flights were initially very, very cheap. they seem to have gone back to regular rates or even a little bit higher but the lodging, hotels have not caught up yet. they're still trying to fill capacity, right? >> you know, i think you can find deal if you're flexible on time. i think we are all in that mode where we're thinking about how in the heck do we get out of our houses? how do we get to another destination.

the trends we're starting to see for that bump in vacation rentals online is pretty significant. here is what people are booking. they're booking now through the end of the year holiday time. booking things mostly within drives distance of their house. they're looking for cleanliness inside of a space. they want privacy, privacy over a resort. a lot of first time vacation rentals going upscale on what they're renting. instead not going to a nearby resort. they're looking for a money back guarranty. you want to talk with whoever you're renting from. in case something doesn't reopen. for example, out in hawaii, you have to wait 14 days quarantined and then, you can move around. is that reasonable? not for most people. but you can book that today, for later in the year and if that's not going to come around, they will give you the money back, if you go to companies like. in florida we saw deals also. florida lifestyle at our

condo.com is their website. we saw a beachside condo, sandcastle unit, 1803, rents for 1755 for the whole week. six people can fit very easily. they have 10% off. also a four bedroom there. if you poke around you will see deals. the state has have reopened early are the ones that are really getting good traction right now. griff: well, thank you. what i heard from that, i will quote you to my wife. we should go to hawaii right away. it is a good deal. thank you very much. >> as surfer i know you would like that. happy birthday,. pete: pete thank you, brother, appreciate it. griff: defund police movement makes it to washington, d.c., painted right on this street near the white house. we're live in the nation's capital. top of the hour.

...

[crowd chanting: our street, our house] pete: we begin this eight o'clock eastern time hour on sunday morning with this fox news alert. hundreds of thousands of protesters gather in washington, d.c, and across the country over the death of george floyd, most of them remaining postal servic. griff: most of them, but in portland, oregon, chaos unfolded overnight. protesters throwing fireworks at officers. two sheriffs departments were injured, both treated for possible concussions. 50 people were arres.ed jedediah: in minneapolis the mayor is booed out of a protest after refusing to defund city police. the crowd telling mayor jacob frey to leave yelling "shake" is he walks away. thank you for joining us, folks. we are in our 8 a.m. hour. efforts to defund the police or at least try to defund the like i say, some of the pushback from that and more. pete: yeah, that video with

jacob frey is incredibly telling telling. here's a very left-wing mayor challenged by a lunatic idea of defunding the police, and he actually -- well, let's tease it and let matt finn do the. matt finn live in minneapolis with the cheated exchange between the protesters and the mayor. matt, i've never seen anything like this. it was an amazing scene. >> pete, it was a stunning political moment here in minneapolis. the mayor, jacob frey, showed up to a very large demonstration yesterday and ultimately was boo booed and told to go home as he stood his ground saying he would not defund the police department department. the event was organized by a group called black business collective that was demanding the minneapolis police be defunded. the mayor walked through the crowd of the demonstrators by himself to the base of the stapling. when he got there the host on stage took to the mike and told the mayor he's responsible for the death of george floyd by

investing in the police department and not listening to community input. the host then asked the mayor if he would vow to defund police. the mayor says he does take responsibility and is coming to grips with his shortcomings, but he does not support the full abolition of police. he said there needs to be structural changes to systemic racism in the police department and the police union needs to be put in its place. well, with that answer the mayor was booed out of that huge crowd crowd. people chanted "go home, jacob." here is some of that exchange. >> jacob frey, we have a "yes" or "no" question for you. yes or no, will you commit to defunding minneapolis police department? we don't want no mo police. >> we don't want people with guns going around in our communities shooting us down. you have an answer? it is a yes or a no. it is a yes or a no. will you defund the minneapolis police department? 'cause if y'all don't know, he's

up for reelection next year. >> so that woman asked the mayor mayor: yes or no: will you defund police? he said "no." looks like he even said "no." and then he had to walk back through that very large crowd as people jeered him and booed him and that woman said, "the mayor is up for reelection, and we will win." pete: matt finn, thank you so much. it was fascinating. a two- or three-minute video online if you watch the whole thing. to dissect it a little bit you give the guy credit for going in there. he probably did not expect that kind of yes or no question. as she was saying yes or no, he was shaking his head saying i don't want to answer it, yes, or no. of course this is graduate student jacob frey turned mayor of a major metropolitan area. now he's in a situation where he's supposed to make a tough call. i give him a little bit of

correct because he said no, i can't defund the police. he understands you have to maintain some semblance of law and order. yet his city council, the president, of son of keith ellison oz on the council there calling to dismantle the police department. he's just not for it. griff: i don't know, pete, i think he gets more than just a little bit of credit. go ahead, jed. jedediah: no, i was just going to say i'd be curious to see some polling. i think we have a map, by the way, we can put up about defunding the priss and where those efforts have cropped up around the country. it's reasonable extensive. i would be curious to poll people and see how many people would support the effort to defund the police versus how many people don't support that extreme measure but do advocate for police reform and then how many people would want to send their kids to colleges where there was no police presence that was affiliated with campus police. because i'm not really sure what the answers to those things would be, butic it would be

really interesting to see, it would be interesting to see, are these people in the minority, are they in the minority? what's happening across the country right now? but we see it popping up in a lot of states but how loud those voices are on the other side saying "hold on a second. i need police anymore community. i need them protecting my family and my community." i'd like to see how the numbers fall out in terms of polling. griff: here's the deal. this is where i think mayor frey gets a lot of credit, pete. because look. the basis of civilization itself the fundamental foundation of civilization is law and order endorsed under equal justice. it's not just, then it's not right; it doesn't work. however, it does have to be enforced, law and order, and without law enforcement, you cannot do that. anarchy is a handmaiden to death death. the fact that we're having this debate, we're opening up to that and we are booing, shaming a

mayor that's trying to stand for it after he's already shown sympathy with the interests of that very crowd i think is a trouble moment, actually, to watch. pete: griff i'll split the difference with you. let's give him medium credit because at the moment there was a lot of pressure. you're there with the whole crowd. the whole gathering is to defund the police. so you know what the group wants to hear. so in that sense you got to give him credit for sticking up. but you get no credit for defending the idea of not dismantling the police department. i mean, such an absurd idea, it's an easy one to defend everywhere other than that protest. he knows better. so thank goodness he stood his ground in that moment, but this entire process has shown a mayor overwhelmed, incapable of protecting his own community. you can take on bad apples in the police department without getting rid of the entire concept, which is lunacy. and now, jed, we're talking about school districts. it's going even further. you've got -- because these bad ideas are laundered usually in

higher academia in the ivy league and places like that. now these schools are saying, hey, get out of our universitie. jedediah: yeah. and check out that map. those are the school districts considering severing ties with police departments. and, believe me, the universities and academia will support this until there's an issue on campus and that campus police needs to contact local law enforcement for help and they're not there because that relationship has been broken. you know, and this is a key issue to consider because, you know, i've worked on these campuses. campus police typically has a very close relationship with that local law enforcement. when something happens on campus that they can't handle they need to be able to call them. so the idea you're going to have universities, parents at home who are listening to the show now, you need to call up these universities, you need to have these conversations because you're going to be sending your kids to a school where something happens and there is no presence with law enforcement and there is no relationship between campus police and law enforcement, that can very quickly escalate into a very dangerous environment for your children. pete: that's a really good point

jed, because what a lot of these schools end up listening to are activist groups on campus which agitate, and they listen to the groups and not the students, and they make knee-jerk decisions like kicking off the comps but in parents call in and say "what are you talking about?" they're standing on common sense and it could make a big differe.ce jedediah: stand on your money. remember you're paying. your money, you're paying thousands and thousands of dollars to send your kids to the school, and one of their jobs is to protect those students. that is their first and foremost job. and if they're not doing that, it is your right to speak out and say, if i'm going to send this money you better make sure that when my kids come there that there is a relationship between campus police and local law enforcement because in case anything arises, i want my kids safe. that is your right to articulate and make heard. griff: yeah, spend the money. if you need to get someone to counsel the kids, do that, but don't lose the school resource officers that protect them.

meanwhile, we talked at a jack brewer, spokesman for the national association of police, police athletic leagues blasting the push to defund cops. listen to this. >> to start talking about getting rid of police, i mean, you're asking for a lawless nation. you think those communities in minneapolis, you think those communities in chicago and detroit in the inner cities are going to be more safe with less police? there are fragments in america and folks in america that look for those situations to go to places where they don't have law enforcement. and that's exactly what's going to happen. you're going to be calling in more issues and more problems for innocent people around america. we need to work up -- wake up. we need to wake up and start talking about how to improve america. pete: yeah, you've already got overworked police departments undermanned and now we're talking about defunding them further when we should be talking about probably hiring more so you can protect the communities with the law and order that our country says they afford our citizens. it's not of course just in

minneapolis. it's in our capital. protesters pack the streets outside the white house. chad purgram talks about a new police reform bill. chad? >> d.c. streets throbbed with commentators nine consecutive days of protests in washington, d.c. these are the biggest protests they've seen in years in washington, d.c, but they were peaceful. many of the protests started near the lincoln memorial, also the u.s. capitol before marching to lafayette square and now what is called black lives matter plaza just up the block from the white house. there's now a push by some protesters to defund law enforcement. in fact, some protesters painted a similar sense on the street calling for just that. some criticized washington, d.c, mayor muriel bauser for not rebuking them more aggressively. some democrats offering a sweeping bill tomorrow to address violence. >> we see too many instances where people just do not have confidence that folks are being

treated fairly. this is not just a black problem or brown problem or native american. this is an american problem. anybody in the country is not being treated equally under the law, that's a problem. >> here's what the bill does. it makes it easier to hold officers accountable in both civil and criminal court. it lowers the bar for what's called qualified immunity which often shields police from lawsuits. the justice department would also have more power to investigate alleged misconduct. a hearing on the bill comes wednesday and the administration is also facing scrutiny about using the military to quell the protests. vice president mike pence defended the administration's tactics. >> this president has done in recent days is what every american expects a president to do in times of crisis, and that is put the lives and the property and the liberty of every american first. >> now democrats this week want mark esper and mark milli the

chairman of the joint chiefs of staff to testify in the coming days. there's a bit of a dispute between house democrats right now and the pentagon about that. the next flash point is going to be the annual defense bill, which is going to be marked up in both the house and senate in the coming weeks. there are some democrats who want to bar the use of surplus military gear being used in law enforcement. jedediah: thanks, chad. we're going to turn now to some headlines for you. we begin fox news alert. a california sheriff deputy shot and killed. santa cruz county sheriff deputy damon gutzwiller walked into gunfire and explosives responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle. >> in my 32 year career that is the worst day that i've ever experienced. today we lost one of our own, and he was a true hero. jedediah: two other deputies were also injured. the suspect is facing first-degree murder charges. he was shot during his arrest.

gutzwiller leaves behind a pregnant wife and a young child. and another fox news alert. the nypd releasing video of the moment an officer is stabbed in the neck amid protests in new york city, the suspect ambushing the officer before grabbing another cop's gun shooting two other officers. the suspect remains hospitalized after police shot him eight times. officers say he yelled "allahu akbar" during the attack. all three officers are expected to recover. and a fox news alert breaking right now. new york city mayor bill de blasio announcing the city's curfew has been lifted. bill de blasio announced we are lifting the curfew immediately. yesterday and last night we saw the very best of our city. tomorrow we take the first big step to restart. keep staying safe. keep looking out for each other

other." overnight protests mostly peaceful as new york city begins faze one of reopening tomorrow. those are your headlines. griff: be interesting to watch what happens in the big apple. coming up as protests demand defunding the police, our next guest says these demonstrations prove exactly why we need law enforcement. wayfair has way more ways to renovate your home,

paul de giacomo. what do you make of what we saw in washington today? >> i think it's disorder control and i think there needs to be law and order and, you know, we ought to continue policing these events very carefully. griff: paul, obviously law enforcement is out there giving this space for these protesters to exercise their first amendment right. but the message of many of them is to simply do away with law enforcement entirely, defund the like i say, dismantle them. and i was pretty passionate the last time we were talking about the fact that we're now in this debate where law and order being enforced with justice, which is the foundation of civilization itself is now open for discussion. what do you say? >> well, to defund the police is really a recipe for disaster.

because if you remember a couple of days ago, some of these individuals that were involved in the protests were looting, burglarizing, destroying property, and those were in commercial areas. you know, right around commercial areas when you're breaking into a store are homes. and it's just a matter of time before these criminal individuals walk into your neighborhood and break into your home and loot your home when you are home. and the only thing stopping that is the police. griff: and, paul, you know, you've got some 292 officers in new york city alone that have been injured during these protests trying to keep order. we've seen it all across the country, tragically in santa cruz an officer, gutzwiller, lost his life. he was killed yesterday. what is your reaction? >> well, it's very sad to see any police officer injured but killed in the line of duty is

disgusting on what's going on throughout the country. and i will tell you this. if any criminal element puts their hand on a new york city detective i promise you that not only will we go after them criminally but we will see them civilly as well. we filed a civil lawsuit against an individual that assaulted one of my detectives a couple of nights ago and we are moving forward with that case. if the district attorney's in new york city are not going to prosecute the cases, then the dea, the union for these detectives, will go after these criminals civilly as well. griff: all right. paul de giacomo, thank you for taking time and hopeful cyrus vance is listening. have a great sunday. >> thank you. have a great weekend. griff: still ahead, the may jobs report, as the city starts to reopen. we're not in the clear just yet. we'll talk to a group of small business owners in overcoming

jedediah: we are back with some quick headlines. hundreds of mourners paying their respects to george floyd. family and loved ones gathering in north carolina where floyd was born to celebrate his life. another public viewing is set for tomorrow in houston, and floyd's funeral on tuesday. and owens floyd's brother is expected to testify before house lawmakers. philonise floyd will reportedly appear before the house judiciary committee during a hearing on police brutality. it comes as democrats prepare to unveil a policing reform bill tomorrow. pete: the may jobs report unexpectedly revealing stellar gains. but despite those numbers there was a nearly 50% increase in

businesses filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy compared to last year year. so how do we bounce back? it's a key question. here to discuss is our small business panel. we have owner of great new hampshire restaurants group tom boucher, franchise owner of the fast casual restaurant -- i'm not going to get this right, greg, you're going to have -- burgerfy. i get it. the owner of snow shack in palm harbor, florida, kelly snow. tom, i want to start with you. the question is, are you in a position to properly reopen right now? >> we are. in fact, our governor gave us the okay to reopen for indoor dining as of june 15th at 50% capacity, and we desperately need it. i mean, we've been at this now for three months with zero i didn't read dining. pete: i guess my question could have been stated better, tom. can you recover, is the questio. >> well, i certainly hope so. i mean, it has been my

livelihood for 33 years. and we will recover. and i will tell you that the only way that businesses like ours are going to recover is that we need a second round of p ppp money. we took the ppp first round very early, knowing it was going to run out, and it did. we're out of that money as of today and we're still not open for indoor dining. i worked very close with new hampshire senator gene shaheen as well as with marco rubio to get a bipartisan bill to get a second round of ppp for the first rounders. and it's not new money. i want to make that really clear clear. there's over $100 billion still left in ppp 2 money that hasn't been used and that needs to help the first rounders like our company. pete: greg, can you recover, and how, at this point? >> we can recover. i think tom nailed it. the ppp program was something that helped us survive the lockdown period. and a second round would

definitely go a long way. some states, as you know, pete, are in better condition than others, for instance. we're in phase -- we're at 50% capacity. however, i can only open my restaurant at 25% right now because we still have to maintain this six-foot social distancing, and we want to do our part for the community. so i can't put 50 percent of the people inside my dining room right now and maintain that. so fast casual like burgerfy and fast food probably are going to rebound easier than fine dining who will have a tougher time, in my opinion. but we can recover. we need to get everything back open and a second round of ppp would go a long way especially for the businesses that had it worse than mine. pete: greg you're playing by the rules. i didn't see a lot of six feet distancing in the protests. i'll just note that. kelly, how about you? can your business recover? >> well, we hope so. we've been open two weeks.

we haven't gotten our big corporate accounts back because we delivered to amusement parks and they're not allowed to have outside vendors yet; so we're hoping for that. and the ppp money was very important to us. we couldn't have opened without it and kept our employees. we did cut our staff to less than half, which is tough. and, you know what? communities are having a hard time spending money because they've been trying to survive. so to get them back out to spend money is going to take some time also. pete: absolutely. >> i think a way to help the country rebound would be give us a tax release, especially small businesses trying to get their feed under them again is to give them a three- to six-month tax release and not having to pay taxes would help a lot. pete: good point. kind of a lightning round i'm going to go through with as well well. the white house is eyeing negotiations for another relief package. one of the ideas being floated or that am so businesses are

considering is offering bonuses. is that the way to entice employees to come back, let's say we do get to the point where we're opening back up. tom, starting with you, how are you getting employees back, tom? >> so we've been fortunate that, again, we've stayed open with curbside and takeout and outward dining as of recently is our employees have stayed with us all the way long only because of the ppp money. and again, as of today, we're out. so we will not be in a position to be able to offer bonuses. we're going to be gushing money again at over a hundred thousand dollars a week. i will say just really quickly, senator's idea of a back door bonus is a very good idea. we're in the business of hiring people. pete: absolutely. greg, how about you? >> so we, like tom, were able to stay open with to-go orders through the entire lockdown. we did have attrition with team

members. i am not a fan of giving a sign- sign-on bonus or a hiring bonus, but we also don't need to. our team members that left because of safety terms are substantially back. better than 95% of our team members have come back to work. they want to work in our opinion what i've been witnessing. our team members want back to work. they want the restaurant open, they want the back to normal, they want the pandemic to go away. what we first saw with the ppp loan and can businesses come back, you know, without that second round of ppp we have a great landlord, tricorps, that worked with us, gave us a 90-day deferment with our rent. without the 90 day deferment i don't think the first round of ppp would have worked as well. pete: kelly, really quick, i saw you shaking your head, last wor. >> yes. seriously, no, bones, people just want to get back to work. they want to come back to their jobs. they've had to restructure their

lives and try to get other jobs trying to survive. because we weren't open. we were closed. but our governor desantis opened us back up a couple weeks ago, and we just want to survive and i believe our employees just want to get back to work. i don't believe bonuses are the answer. pete: that feels like the truth, you look these big box stores that have been benefiting from this all along and it's yet the smaller businesses that can be the most responsible about it. tom, greg, and -- let me get the last name there -- kelly, thank you so much for joining us this morning. great perspective, and i hope you get the perspective -- >> can i say thank you to you to and fox news and our president once again to all that you guys do to report the truth. i believe our businesses survived because you guys want them to survive. i believe it's a key thank you. pete: every business is essential in this country, and we want to see them all back hope. kelly, thank you so much. great last word. >> thank you. pete: still ahead, reports of g.o.p. leaders opting to not support president trump's reelection. but is this a sign of a

republican divide or is it something else? we'll ask former presidential candidate mike huckabee the other side.

griff: back now with stream weather. tropical storm cristobal heading towards the u.s. it's expected to make landfall in louisiana today. alex hogan joins us lives from new orleans with storm preps. good morning, alex. >> hi, guys. we're seeing those first outer bands of the storm finally

touchdown here in louisiana. as you can see bourbon street right now a very different site from what you would usually see in the french quarter. a lot of these businesses are boarding up but not just because of the storm. we've seen this because of covid-19 and possible looters during protests. but this is helping all of the storms and the storm prep. cristobal is already breaking records as we're seeing the the first named storm, the fastest named storm of the season, the earliest on record was the august 13th average. but, again, this is the third. it's really surprising for right now, but people who live here, work here, say that they are ready for this. >> the good thing about hurricanes, you have preparation preparation. you got time to prepare, unlike a tornado or something that strikes you immediately. hurricane, you get advance warning. like we have advance warning right now. >> the winds are already picking up and could gust up to 60 miles per hour, but the winds aren't the issue. it's really the rain, the flooding, the water levels are

already high from what we've seen in recent weeks. people who live here say this is part of culture. when you live in this part of the country you need to be ready for all these storms so all of these people taking precautions and getting ready. guys? griff: all right, alex. you're right. they're ready for it down there. let's hand it over to rick now and find out a little more about this storm, where she's headed. >> hey, griff, yeah. storm moving off towards the north. alex is making the point that this is the earliest we've ever had three named storms. so we're seven days in hurricane season, we're already on our third named storm of the year. that's quite remarkable. expecting to be a really active season this year. so this storm here just kind of gets us the preparation for it. there's the center of the storm just to the south of louisiana, continues to pull up towards the north. you notice lots of moisture way off towards the side of this, towards the east. very heavy rain in parts of north carolina. 50-mile-an-hour still is the sustained winds. these are actual reported wind

gusts that we have right now, some right around tropical storm force, but the center of the storm likely probably about there. so far away still from where we're seeing those reports of the wind at this point. storm will continue to pull off towards the north. this is a radar composite of what the model thinks the radar will look like over time. so we'll put this into motion. you'll notice still the heavy rain across north florida this morning. that begins to die down. by overnight tonight we still have the very heavy rain across south mississippi and across southeastern louisiana then very slowly pulls up the mississippi river valley, natchez and vicksburg and then gets up across areas of arkansas. eventually by tuesday and towards missouri, iowa, and eventually up towards wisconsin. so a long time to deal with this storm. the good news, not an incredible strong storm for us this time around. guys? pete: rick, thank you very much. that is good news. here to react let's bring in mike huckabee, fox news contributor and former governor

of arkansas. thank you for being on the show this morning. take new orleans, for example, governor. you've got the covid-19 lockdown you've got the protests that led to looting and rioting down there, and now you've got a hurricane. just your reaction to that -- it's a tropical storm. your reaction to that combination. >> well, it's good not to be the governor of louisiana today. i can say that. what an incredible challenge that the people on the louisiana and the coast face. but the good news is they are prepared for it and they do know how to deal with things like hurricanes. i thought the person earlier who said with a hurricane you have, you know, several days of warning; so you are able to prepare, unlike tornadoes that just hit you. and, you know, it may be three minutes that you had time to prepare. so this is looking like a rough tropical storm, but thank goodness not a hurricane. griff: governor rebuke, let me ask you about -- jedediah: -- hoping that -- griff: go ahead, jed.

jedediah: go ahead, griff. griff: go on, jed, i don't want to cut you off there. jedediah: oh, no worries. no. we're just hoping everyone stays safe in the tropical storm. and i wanted to shift over to some politics with you. there's a new york times report -- i want to read that quote first for you and then we can talk a little bit about what it says and whether you believe it and what your advice would be. but here's a quote from the new york times. "former president george w. bush won't support the reelection of mr. trump and jeb bush isn't sure how he'll vote, say people familiar with their thinking. senator mitt romney of utah doesn't know whether to back trump, and cindy mccain, the widow of senator john mccain is almost certain to support mr. biden but is uncertain how public to be about it because one of her sons is eyeing a run for office. so let's get your reaction to that first, governor. >> well, i don't know if it's true 'cause it's in the new york times. and i take a lot of things in the new york times with a grain of salt because they're wrong more than they're right.

but if that's true and if you have people who were nominated and in the case of president bush actually elected to be president by republicans and they will no longer support the republican nominee who went through the process and got elected, then i'm going to be not just unhappy, i'm going to be livid. and i'll tell you why. we didn't all agree on some of the policies of bush or mccain or romney. but, you know, when it came down to it, we had a choice. we could choose a far-left liberal or we could choose somebody that was closer to our views. i get it that donald trump's bedside manner is somewhat more like mean joe greene than it is the cool, collected tom brady, if it's on the football field. but here's what i just don't understand with these never trumpers. this president is more pro-life than we've ever had, period. he's more pro-israel. he has deregulated so much government so that the businesses of america can thrive

and they have until this covid stuff happened. this is a president who has stood up to the globalists, stood up to the unfair trade practices, brought back american jobs, has done more for minorities than any president in my lifetime in actually helping people to have good, decent jobs and a future. this is a president who has reformed criminal justice. there's an incredibly long litany of things he's done. and some of them say, "but i don't like his personality." well, get over it. this is not about electing a personality. this isn't hollywood. this is the rough, tumble word of politics. and maybe he's not as genteel as some of us would like. but, by gosh, he's getting the job done, and it's time republicans rally, because if they don't, they're going to get joe biden, who isn't pro-life, who is for higher taxes, open borders, he's going to succumb to china. everything that we find disgusting he's going to embrace it, including the socialists out

here. that's why we have to realize this is a simple choice and we better make the right move. griff: governor, the trump campaign responding, saying the president has the support of a record number of republicans across the country. he leads a united party and will win in november. governor huckabee, thank you very much. we appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you. pete: thank you, governor. appreciate it. pennsylvania voters just cast their primary ballots, but after counting voter turnout, some are wondering if joe biden can carry his home state in the general election. pennsylvania g.o.p. congressional candidate sean parnell says biden's enthusiasm problem is a big one. that's next. - i'm norm.

breaking down the numbers, president trump garnered over 8,000 more votes than biden. so what does this mean for the battleground state come november november? joining me now is g.o.p. congressional candidate from pennsylvania sean parnell. sean, welcome to the show. >> good morn.ng jedediah: do you make of -- the results are not all in -- good morning to you -- results are not all in, but what do you make so far of what you're seeing with respect to pennsylvania? >> well, it's no surprise that joe biden has a tremendous enthusiasm gap in pennsylvania. look. my grandfather was a lifelong union democrat who loved his god and loved this country. tragically he passed away the day before i went to afghanistan but if he saw what the democrat party has become today, the party has completely left him. he'd roll over in his grave. let's go down the laundry list of things democratic party supports today. abolishing the police, emptying our prisoners, abolishing i.c.e.

opening borders, appoint beto o'rourke to be his gun czar and send beto o'rourke to pennsylvania to take away your guns. turns out people in pennsylvania like having the ability to defend themselves. joe biden just appointed aoc in charge of his climate policy task force. it turns out the greenland in pennsylvania is widely unpopular unpopular. in my district alone there are a hundred thousand jobs that are supported by the oil and gas industry, 600,000 across the state of pennsylvania. turns out people want to keep their jobs. and joe biden as advocated for raising taxes. but guess what? this economy is just starting to reopen and as people go back to work and businesses start to reopen, the last thing we need to do is put more restrictions on our economy. we need to unshackle our economy economy. and look. here's the deal, jedediah. joe biden has been in washington for over , and we're supposed to believe now that he's going to waltz into the oval office and fix all of our problems? my goodness. the last time joe biden has had a private sector job he was a

lifeguard hanging out with corn pop letting little kids rub his legs in the pool. joe biden has no idea what he's doing and it's smart for the democratic party to keep him in the basement. jedediah: now, joe biden was born in scranton. this is an important state for him. i think that he feels he'll do well in the state. let's say he doesn't do well in the state. what does that indicate across the country and in other states that prioritize similar issues to the ones prioritized by those in pennsylvania? >> well, look. the bottom line is this. the modern-day do you democratic party is over step with the american people. they are no longer the party of the american working class, you know? so joe biden's poor performance here in pennsylvania is going to be indicative of his performance in battleground states all across this nation. and here's the thing that you have to recognize with joe biden biden. joe biden's in his basement. when you put joe biden next to donald trump on the campaign trail, there's going to be no comparison. donald trump is going to beat him in a landslide in november.

jedediah: we're going to get to see it on the campaign trial and we're going to get to see it on the debate stage, which i think is going to be pretty good television. thanks for being here today, sean. >> take care. see you, jed. jedediah: appreciate it. nascar's most patriotic race returns to fox today, the folds of honor, quiktrip 500. we'll hear from one of the military stars whose life was changed forever thanks to folds of honor. uggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

they'll be graduating this year with their degrees and stuff like that. none of that would have been possible without the help of folds of honor. i really love this organization. they do a lot of great things. pete: i get chills hearing that. you talk about how it was all focused on you and rightfully so because of your service to the country but your family went through it with you and now they get the benefit. >> absolutely. pete: colonel, i gotta it doesn't get old. i know it doesn't for you, think about about the lives you've affected with folds of honor. >> yeah. and we wake up every day, pete, we get up out of bed early to honor great americans like michael, and the need is great. and i'll tell you covid has had a tremendous impact on folds. we'll send about 4,000 females to school this year, but we will have thousands of qualified -- the house families to school this year. we need donations. this weekend we've got the folds of honor limited edition race hat and coin, if you become a wingman, it's $13 a month.

[chanting] pete: it is sunday, june 7th and we begin this 9:00 eastern time hour with a fox news alert. hundreds of thousands of protesters gather in washington, d.c. and across the country over the death of george floyd. most of them, thankfully, remaining peaceful. griff: most, pete. but in portland oregon, protesters threw fireworks at officers. two sheriffs deputies were hurt. 50 people were arrested, jed. jedediah: in minneapolis, the mayor is booed out of a protest after refusing to fully defund

city police. the crowd telling the mayor to leave, yelling, shame, as we walks away. and thanks again for joining us everyone. we're in the 9:00 a.m. hour. we've been covering the latest in the protests as well as efforts by some to wand want to defund -- to want to defund the police. pete: everyone want to have a conversation about how we do policing correctly, making sure we have the proper conversation. when it goes to defunding of the police, which we've been breaking down all morning and all weekend, people start to stop listening because they realize how important the police are to the fabric of our society and that you can address problems, griff, in d.c. or elsewhere, without having to throw the whole baby out with the bath water. griff: they're listening, pete, in washington. they're listening on capitol hill. we'll get more to that. but in new york city, where they're lifting their curfew as george floyd protests remained mainly peaceful overnight, aishah hasnie joins us live from the big apple as video is

released of last night's knife attack on of nypd officers. aishah, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. new york city basically canceling that curfew just one day earlier than it was supposed to be lifted anyway. mayor bill de blasio tweeting the announcement just about an hour ago. he said this. new york city, we are lifting the curfew effective immediately. yesterday and last night we saw the very best of our city. tomorrow, we take the first big step to restart, keep staying safe, keep looking out for each other. the mayor has been facing a lot of criticism from all different groups out there including protesters over this curfew and also faced the threat of lawsuits from several civil rights groups who call the curfew unconstitutional. in the meantime, protests and marches did remain mostly peaceful in new york city overnight. we saw several people protesting past 8:00 curfew, some of them were arrested. a driver in crown heights was taken into custody for allegedly

hitting protester as he tried maneuver through the crowd. so far, more than 1,000 people have been arrested in the demonstrations, more than 1100 summonses have been issued for curfew violators, 119 people interestingly enough arrested were from outside of new york city. so they came into the city to demonstrate. by the way, the da no longer prosecuting protesters for any low level offenses. also, take a look at this. the nypd just released surveillance video of that knife attack on an officer last week. they called it a planned assassination attempt. the suspect is said to have yelled before stabbing the officer. fortunately, the officer has survived. the suspect facing a li litany f of charges. 292 officers have been injured in new york city amid the protests, the demonstrations,

the riots so far. back to you. jedediah: thanks, aishah. you see these officers putting themselves in harm's way repeatedly and now they have to face people saying defund the police, they have to face being stigmatized. that's not to say there aren't a few bad actors out there, and there are. that does not mean you need to taint the entire department. so many of these guys and women really good people, on the ground, ready to serve at any moment's notice and what you don't want is people not wanting to be police officers. you want people to want to do that job. and when you have them being stigmatized, an already difficult job where you put your life on the line every day, they don't need that. they need support. they need support from mayors, governors and from people who recognize that the vast majority of them intend to do good and do do good. pete: you're absolutely right. think about that number, 292 officers injured over this

period of time. take minneapolis, for example. they're drastically understaffed as a police department, hundreds of officers short of what the police believe they need in order to do their job so they're over-working, it's overtime. they're stretched thin. these kind of accusations are being made. we had an nypd detective, the president of the union on the show earlier. he talked about this idea of defunding police. listen. >> to defund the police is really a recipe for disaster. because if you remember a couple days ago, some of these individuals that were involved in the protests were looting, burglarizing, destroying property and those were in commercial areas. you know, right around commercial areas when you are breaking into a store are homes. and it's just a matter of time before these criminal individuals are walking to your neighborhood and breaking into your home and loot your home when you are home.

and the only thing stopping that is the police. griff: i have actually, guys, a police officer, a source who has been texting me this morning, calling this insanity, saying is this coming to d.c.? there is an effort in d.c. locally, black lives matter, at odds with the mayor and in congress of course we're seeing the calls get louder and pete, it may come as a surprise to you but alexandria ocasio-cortez is throwing her support behind the idea as minneapolis' mayor is booed out of a protest that we've been talking about. here's a quote where aoc stands. it's an idea that i'm actively engaged in, in advocacy for, is the reduction of really truly talking about the reduction of our nypd budget and defunding a $6 billion nypd budget that costs us books in thafnedz of our children and costs us badly

needed investment in the housing authority and public housing. pete: the only budget in america that comrade cortez wants to cut is the safety business in her observ own townd wants to send trillions to her green new deal to defend the weather. in minneapolis, there was a fascinating scene. jacob frye, minneapolis mayor, a democrat, has by all accounts handled the situation very poorly, he's a rookie, out of his league. he walked up to a protest. i think he got more than he thought he was going to get. he was confronted by the mc of the event, asking will you commit to defunding the police, on the spot, yes or no. watch what unfolded. >> jacob frye, we have a yes or no question for you. yes or no, will you commit to

defunding minneapolis police department? >> [chanting] pete: jacob frye has been very successful in putting in bike lanes in minneapolis. when it comes to something actually serious -- griff gives him more credit than i do. i give him a tiny bit of credit for saying at that moment, no, i won't defund. that's a low bar considering what we've seen in minneapolis. jedediah: look at the reaction. unless he's willing to say the extreme measure that he is willing to defund the police, they don't want any part of him. they're ready to boo him. you're going to see a lot of people flee those cities where -- if defunding the police becomes a reality and it's a possibility it may in certain

places, you'll see people fleeing those places, parents not wanting to put their kids in universities where there is no relationship between campus police and local law enforcement. people know by and large they need the police, they need to be able to call 911 and have someone on the other end of the line who is willing to put their life on the line to come and help you when you are in distress. they also know that if you remove the police, and you remove that budget and you remove officers from the streets, who is going to fill that void? who is going to come in and defend and protect your safety the way the police does? many rational people know that is not the answer. that reforming the structurally and otherwise the police system, fine, many will get behind that. defunding the police is an extreme measure that many will not. griff: that's a great point, jed. many of the businesses that are looking to reopen of want their life and property protected by law enforcement. we'll show you a map of seven more states easing restrictions.

new york, rhode island, delaware, west virginia, kentucky, michigan and mississippi. we talked a little bit earlier this morning with tony katz, radio talk show host, talking about the need to gets things opened. here's what he those say. >> they still want to be able to get to work. michigan still doesn't allow it. it's governor whitmer who told people don't go to ohio to get a haircut, go on google and learn how to give yourself a haircut. what did salon owners get the licenses for. manufacturing is the same way. you need to fully open and get it going. pete: it's clear hypocrisy on display as governors march with people in the streets with zero social distancing while they've been preaching to us for months don't go near anybody, keep shops closed forever, wear a mask while sleeping. all these business owners are waiting, wanting to open up.

we showed the map of reopen offing. it's a good sign. a lot of the states, it's 20%, oh, parks can open. it's crumbs moving along slowly, when you look at the demonstrations, look at states like wisconsin, there's the map there, you look at states like wisconsin, florida, georgia, that have opened up. we have not seen the predicted spike in cases because people can still be responsible and businesses can reopen, do it well, like the big box stores do, guys. so open offing up now is a rallying cry that a lot of people are feeling. jedediah: i even remember in new jersey, they were following every possible protocol, yet they were condemned. now you see massive amounts of people in the streets, sometimes wearing masks, sometimes not, no restrictions, certainly not six feet of distance between them. have you the same people who condemned those gyms now being silent on this. if nothing else, it's exposing massive hypocrisy in the media

yet again. we will turn to headlines now, beginning with a fox news alert. fired minneapolis police officer derek chauvin set to make his first court appearance tomorrow. he is charged with murder after video showed him kneeling on george floyd's neck. he faces up to 40 years in prison. the three other officers charged in floyd's death so face the same amount of time behind bars if found guilty. and a sant santa cruz sergeant's deputy walked into an am michigaambush ofgunfire while ra suspicious vehicle. >> this is the worst day i've ever experienced. today we lost one of our own. he was a true ea hero. jedediah: two other deputies were injured. the suspect is facing first degree murder charges. he was shot during his arrest. gutzwiller leaves behind a

pregnant wife and young child. cristobal is expected to make landfall later today. heavy rains and winds will batter the area. the storm sparked several tornadoes across central florida. trees knocked down, crashing in homes. more tornadoes are expected today. we have a live report from new orleans coming up. those are your headlines. pete: new orleans, you think about it, covid-19 shutdown, then you get the riots down there, now you've got a tropical storm. my goodness. griff: they're pretty tough down there. they'll be all right. still ahead, as calls grow louder to defund police departments across the u.s., some schools are considering cutting ties with law enforcement. is this the right move? we'll ask former nypd police officer dan bongino coming up. wayfair has way more ways to renovate your home,

jedediah: as calls grow to defund police departments across the u.s., some schools now considering cutting ties with law enforcement as well. griff: our next guest warns if pushed through, it would be the deadliest public policy disaster in modern american history. pete: fox news contributor and former nypd officer dan bongino is here to explain. dan, if you would, hold court. explain. >> yeah, as i said earlier. i was on my social media account, tweeting this out. it's not an exaggeration to say it will be the single public policy abom abomin ation. thousands will die. kids, teenagers and adults. i'm talking from homicides, from murders, assaults that turn deadly. i can't even talk about the overdoses, everything else, from the lack of control over the illegal drug supply coming into the country. people will die.

and any loser out-of-touchtouch elitist snob in politics or the swamp or of anywhere else who supports the idea should be forced to attend the funeral of the tens of thousands that will die, because of this. who do you think is going to stand in the breach, pete? if this were to happen, and you're not going to have people, men and women with shields on of their chest who by the way, when the gunshots ring out in the streets and sadly this happens, are the only ones running towards the gunshots while everyone else is smartly running away. who do you think is going to protect you? antifa? who do you think -- they're the ones throwing the fireworks. pete: who do they think it's going to be? >> from what i heard, it's going to be the social workers. god bless social workers. i studied psychology. they do terrific work.

i told this story on hand at ha. when i was a young police officer, i walked into a volatile domestic violence situation. i'll leave the details because this is early in the morning but it was ugly. and i saw a kid, he couldn't have been more than 5 or 6, sitting in the corner, cowering like something out of a horror movie. we were attacked by this guy who would not get off his spouse or his girlfriend, i don't remember the exact details of it. it was one of the most troubling things -- i never forgot it. i had nightmares about it for weeks. looking at that kid, who do you think is going to show up? again, god bless the social workers. you really think a social worker is going to -- you think a black lives matter activist is going to show up and save that woman and that kid? that kid's life was changed forever because mine was and it was force for him. -- and it was worse for him. who do you think -- do you think you can negotiate with these criminals in do you believe that? do you think a social worker --

do you understand that the criminal element in society -- i spent over a decade of my life in law enforcement. you cannot negotiate. you cannot cut a deal. they're not e empathetic. they don't care. they want your money. they want your life or god forbid they want your body too. it is over. there's no negligence other of united nations. you're not going -- there's no negotiation. you're not going to use deescalation tactics. you need police to do that. they're the ones trained to of do that and brave enough to get in the middle. jedediah: everyone is a parent on this panel and who in their right mind would send their child to a university where that university has cut ties with any police and said we don't welcome you. god forbid anything happens on that campus and the campus police needs to reach out and there's no relationship there. would you have to be insane. i'm wondering if it would lead to parents seeking out this information and saying guess what, you're not going over

there because you're not going to have a relationship with the police department. i think that will have many effects that we don't realize yet if it manifests as policy. >> if your kid has one of those schools as a wish list and they're a senior in college, i am not kidding, i would strongly recommend with every fiber of my soul, you seriously reconsider that decision. your kid is in serious danger if they're not going to call the police in the event of an incident on that campus. griff: all right. ban bongino, thanks for weighing in. calls growing louder for colin kaepernick to return to the nfl as the league's commissioner says he was wrong about the controversial kneeling protest. would kaepernick's return unite fans or cause a further divide? that's next. i got an oriole here.

jedediah: we are back with quick headlines beginnings with a fox news alert. a look at george floyd protests in london, one of several international cities seeing massive protests this weekend. 27 london officers have been hurt in demonstrations as looters and rioters hit the city, as a statue of britain's most renowned leader is vandalized. video shows green graffiti spray painted on the winston churchill monument. it happened on the 76th anniversary of d-day. over to you, griff. griff: nfl commissioner roger goodell apologizing for how the league handled player protests started by colin kaepernick. >> we, the national football league, admit we were wrong for not listening to nfl players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. we, the national football

league, believe black lives matter. griff: while goodell did not mention kaepernick by name, some in the media are already heaping praise on the former quarterback, even calling for his nfl return. here to react, former super bowl champ, and former nfl player and spokesman for the national association of police athletic leagues, jack brewer. good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. griff: burgues, let me start with you. kaepernick comes back or not, what's the impact? >> well, let me tell you what -- first of all, he's not coming back. let me tell what you the history of professional sports have always been about. nfl was started by a proud patriotic nfl owners who actually participated in world war ii, all-american brand they developed. what we're seeing today is a commissioner who failed on two fronts. he failed to protect the nfl

brand, all-american brand, failed to keep americans united. this guy will be known in history as the bill de blasio of commissioners. he failed in every kind of way. it's because he's an elitist, a leftist and globalist. he's not going to unite us. kaepernick, because american people will not stand for it, will not be back. he's a marxist, period. griff: if kaepernick did come back, what message would that send to law enforcement. >> day one, kaepernick made it about him. it wasn't about him. it was about human race, coming together, finding a solution, working together to get us on the right path. if everyone will remember, this is an individual who wore r socs with a pig displayed on them. he was never a fan of police officers. it would be something -- like when he was on the forefront of the nike ads, the result would

not be positive. griff: jack, you work with youth, with young black men and athletes, high school students right now. what does this decision mean to them? do they look up to kaepernick? do they want him back? if he does go back, what message does it send to those youngsters? >> many of them do. i mean, we have a media that paints the narrative, right. media loves to have the divide in our nation and i think this is another one of those times. we talk about oppression and oppressed people. those kids that you mentioned, 71% ar71% of high school dropous don't have fathers at home, over 80% of teen suicides come from kids that don't have fathers in the home. so the family unit is the real oppression. that's where you've got to start. you've got to start with all these policies that disincentiveize fatherhood. let's have a conversation about the family unit and the family structure coming back in black

america. that's the real conversation. they don't want to have that conversation. they want to talk about symbolism and they want to talk about flags, whose side are you on, president trump or colin kaepernick's side. all of it is craziness. president trump has done more for blacks than anyone in history. why can't we come together. everyone wants the same result. we have a different approach on how we do it. we're americans. that's what we need to do. oppression cannot be a political debate. it's not right. griff: purchas let me ask yout this op ed calling for kaepernick to be if the hall of fame. they say i don't care that the resume is lacking, he only played six seasons but owners have deprived him of countless more. i don't know what he would have done with the lost seasons. the man is critical living piece of football history. does he belong in the hall of fame? >> of course not. that's a no-brainer.

collin kaepernick has been a divider from the very beginning. when i talk to the leftists, these people couldn't care less about the black community. collin kaepernick -- it comes down to this. it's about get out the vote. the leftists get us up in arms. they want those who oppress, those who are hopeless to come out and vote for democrats. this is all about power. kaepernick -- i would love to have a conversation with capper nick. -- with kaepernick. he cannot stand on his own and talk about issues he's supposedly stands for. he is about position. he's anti-american, anti--- he's a marxist at the end of the day. griff: all right. thank you very much. it's going to be very interesting to watch. have a good sunday. >> god bless you all. >> thank you. griff: still ahead, reports of gop leaders opting to not

support president trump's reelection. is this a sign of a republican divide or is it something else? we've got that coming up. (announcer) now more than ever, it's important to lose weight,

president trump and jeb bush isn't sure how they'll vote. senator mitt romney won't back mr. trump and is deliberating whether to again write in his wife, ann or cast another ballot in november. the senator of john mccain is almost certain to support mr. biden but is unsure how public to be about it because one of his sons is eyeing a run for public office. pete, i'm guessing you have thoughts. pete: i do. first, here's how the trump campaign responded. they said president trump has the support of a record number of republicans across the country, 96%, he leads a united party and will win in november. because it's the new york times, i normally wouldn't believe it. in this case, of course i do. george w bush establishment crowd, mccain, romney, they want to be liked by the cocktail new york times crowd. i don't have personal animous towards any of these people. i worked with senator mccain,

a good man. i supported mitt romney's candidacy. at this point, the arrogance of these so-called republicans to not back the current president of the united states running for re-election who did all the things they never did, cut taxes, crushed isis, pro life, look at the justices on the supreme court, rebuilding the military, george w bush never moved the embassy to jerusalem, even though he promised he would. listen, what they don't like about president trump of course is his style. but the moment right now, in this moment, trump is the precise style we needed. he knew how to fight. romney never fought. john mccain was a campaign conservative. we go to washington, make amnesty deals and republicans and conservatives couldn't make it. trump takes on the left wing media, there's the new york times, these republicans want to be loved by the left wing media and he fights political correctness and the republicans

want to play the politically correct game. if they won't support president trump they are literally casting a ballot for leftists, for comrade core tees cortez, for b. the arrogance is offensive and they're not republicans if they can't support president trump. jedediah: i disagree a little bit, in the sense that if they don't like him and they don't want to support him, i feel like then they don't have to support him. but they do need to say why. if they're going to publicly say, make a statement of i don't support president trump you need to articulate why. it can't just be he's mean. that's not a sufficient reason. you need to point to policy reasons. you are a high profile public figure. you need to let people know there's a legitimate reason behind it. the reason i take this viewpoint, it drives me crazy when you watch bernie sanders and joe biden go at each other on the debate stage and they

point out all these flaws and why you shouldn't vote for this person and now all of a sudden mayor best friends and bernie sanders is saying you have to go support joe biden. i'm not of the opinion that just because you're republican you must bow in allegiance to the republican. i don't believe that. but i do believe you have a responsibility to the public to say why if you are going to make it public that you do not support them, particularly in the case of a sitting president. i do happen to think this case with mitt romney there is a little bit of beef. we flow that. he may have a hard time articulating that in. in general, if you want to say, listen, i'm a republican but here's why i don't support this president, i don't have a problem with that. i do have a problem if you don't offer that caveat and explain yourself. pete: it's not about policy. that's the problem. it's about personal animous and they won't defend it. they hide behind spokesmen. they don't have the guts to come out and fight a street fight or

of straight on of. where's the never-trumpers constituency. they go on msnbc and cnn. griff: my problem is president george w bush and senator mitt romney have effectively said i support medicare for all. i wish to not defend the conservative balancing of the federal bench. that's an unbelievably strong statement to make in contrast to just simply saying i have disdane for the current commander in chief. it will be interesting, jed as you mentioned with romney, you know, that not only could be a campaign issue for president trump but also danger for mitch mcconnell holding the senate. we talked to governor mike huckabee earlier today. he weighed in on this. here's what he said. >> if that's true and if you have people who are nominated and in the case of president bush actually elected to be president by republicans and they will no longer support the

republican nominee who went through the process and got elected then i'm going to be not just unhappy, i'm going to be livid. there's a litany of things he's done. some may say i don't like his personality. well, get over this. this is not about electing a personality. it's time republicans rally because if they don't they're going to get joe biden. pete: republicans don't like losing. we got two terms of barack obama. romney lost. mccain lost. donald trump won. he's the president of the united states. he's done, to your point, jed, he's done the policy things that conservatives would have wanted to do. look at where the supreme court could be in the next term if he got a couple more picks. it's an amazing opportunity. but here we are. so i guess politics is ultimately personal too in many ways, jed. jedediah. all right. now we're going to go to a

reporter now. i've been inside my own head. we're going to extreme weather, tropical storm cristobal is expected to make landfall in lucalouisiana today. alex hogan joins us with the storm preparation. >> reporter: so far in southeast louisiana we have seen more than 5,000 power outages and we're hearing that the storm is really disorganized and that's we're seeing on the streets right now. we have gusts of wind coming as you see all of these boarded up restaurants and businesses, many of these have been boarded up because of covid-19, because of some of these riots turning to looting of course, many peaceful protests, but they want to take precaution and that precaution is helping them with this storm that is already caused a lot of damage. the storm triggered flooding and mud slides in mexico. as the impact stretches across the gulf coast, a tornado touched down last night in orlando. cristobal is expected to make landfall in the next hours.

winds are expecting to be up to 50 miles per hour and a flooding storm surge. those are the warnings to watch. the weather has its fair share of storms here in katrina, here in new orleans, we saw the katrina hurricane 2005 and isaac in 2012 and we talked with restaurant owners here who say really navigating this weather is just what it means to be a resident here in this area. >> we're just trying to get prepared. because we always -- heavy rains, we flood here. it's aggravating. >> reporter: and again, all of this just culminating today. we're seeing winds starting to come in, some of the heavy rain we're seeing, conditions are expected to worsen within the coming hours so people who live and work around here are told to take precaution. we are just seven days into the hurricane season and this is the third named storm so far. so first of all, already making a name for itself. guys, back to you. griff: alex, thank you very

much. let's toss it over to rick and find out where the storm is headed. hey, rick. >> reporter: when you get storms like these, obviously they can cause localized damage. it's good prep for what is going to be an active season. no indication we won't have an incredibly active season. this is a look of the radar picture of the storm right now. you see the center to the south of the new orleans area but rain extending way off towards the east, heavy rain across south georgia this morning, north parts of florida and extending out across areas of the panhandle but the center of it just to the south of it. it's going to pull off tired thd the north. the wind won't be that strong, it's just going to be the rain story, some spots maybe 3 to 6 inches with isolated up to 8. and then eventually this pulls up tomorrow into tuesday, all the way across parts of the mississippi river valley, bringing a lot of rain as far north as areas of wisconsin. guys. pete: thank you, rick. appreciate it. jedediah: thanks, rick. pete: coming up, america's manufacturing industry on the

rebound as covid-19 restrictions slowly ease up. so how does this impact voters in the rust belt? maria bartiromo gives us her take after the break.

jedediah: america's manufacturing industry showing signs of a rebound, 225,000 of those jobs added last month as coronavirus restrictions are lifted. griff: what does this mean for those voters in the rust belt? here to weigh in, sunday morning futures host, maria bartiromo, good morning, maria. >> maria: hey, guys, how are you? great to see everybody. that jobs number on friday was certainly better than expected on all fronts, not only the overnumber of jobs but exactly what you zero in on. we're seeing job creation in manufacturing once again. pete: maria, it wasn't supposed to happen this quickly. most of the company is not reopened yet. how did this happen? >> maria: well, a couple of

things. first of all, you are seeing a real movement to get the manufacturing supply lines back up and running. now, a couple of these numbers in the jobs report, you can understand why, for example, leisure and hospitality did well, 1.29 million jobs reported there. that was a lot of food delivery, of course, that's what everyone did, stuck at home, ordered things by delivery so there was some of that. in terms of manufacturing, if you look at the most recent pugh survey, americans' sentiment around china has really gone down in all of this because in the middle of this pandemic, we better understood that 70% of our active ingredients in prescription drugs are made in china. i'm talking about, you know, penicillin and antibiotics and people were nervous about that, the fact that we are reliant on a foreign country for something that is so important for the growth of america and for keeping us well. as a result of that, there's been a movement to try to fire up the manufacturing supply

chains in america and that's going to continue, that's only going to accelerate. remember, it was the services part of this economy that got crushed in the shutdown. things like restaurants, et cetera. so we're going to need manufacturing jobs in a big way. that is why the administration has this policy toward firing up the manufacturing supply chains, taking them out of china, bringing them to america and around the world. i think you could see this continue in the coming months as things continue to reopen. jedediah: what's coming up on your show today, maria. >> maria: we've got a big show. we're going to talk with peter navarro, he's the point man on of trade. he was with the president on friday. they visited a manufacturing facility in maine where they make swabs for testing. there's going to be huge demand for that going forward. lindsey graham is joining me, he called his first witness in the crossfire hurricane investigation, rod rosenstein. he's going to break news and tell us who is going could come up, he's going to call to be a

witness next and tom of cotton with the controversial op ed in the new york times about getting the military involved, he's going to talk about what was behind that and then you've got rudy giuliani talking about these protesters and what he sees for new york. he's calling for de blasio to step down and senator tim scott will join trey gowdy to talk about getting the country back together again in the face of all of this violence and even when it is peaceful protests, that is also going to cause job losses, going to have a real impact on the economy, we're going to talk about it in about 10 minutes. pete: as always, maria, you fit four hours of tv into one fantastic show. well-done. look forward to watching it. great stuff. >> maria: thank you. pete: up next, it is the birthday surprise i did not see coming. we'll show you what that -- we'll show you the moment that left me nearly speechless with my lovely wife. stay tuned. they are compelled to step forward.

to the front lines. and into the unknown... for all of us. i thought it had to be thick to protect. but new always discreet is made differently. with ultra-thin layers that turn liquid to gel and lock it inside. for protection i barely feel. new always discreet.

[ laughter ] >> is that an -- what is that? >> wow. that is a 40th birthday present. are you serious? [ laughter ] >> did you think you got a t-shirt and a mug? >> i was thinking i was going to

get a t-shirt and a mug. pete: i'm not often surprised or speechless. but yes, my lovely wife, jennifer, surprised me with a brand-new motorcycle yesterday on my 40th birthday. i got my license when i was like 20. so it's been like 20 years since i've ridden a motorcycle, i'll be honest. i'll need training wheels on that bad dog. she went big with the motorcycle. my kids were all out there. they loved it. i was not expecting that at all. so many wonderful blessings from people. 40's old. i walked out of my house, sprayed with silly string and there was that beautiful motorcycle and even more beautiful woman, the love of my life, jen, who made it happen. pretty cool. wanted to share it with people. jedediah: that is a good wife. when are you going to take it out for the first spin? and more importantly, are we going to have video footage of that. pete: no, because it's not going to be pretty.

it will be today with my brother in a parking lot. griff: as a former motorcycle owner, that's awesome. also, congratulations on american crusade, it is number eight on the new york times best seller list. pete: it comes out today. it came out number eight and then it's been on the list for two weeks, now number nine. so thank you to everyone out there who supported me and bought american crusade. kind of -- it's the new york times, so nya, but we'll take it. griff: safe on that motorcycle. jedediah: congratulations, pete. pete: thank you very much. appreciate it. i don't know about safe but i'm going to try. there will be no video footage. it's not going to be pretty but i love it. thank you for indulging me. we've got more "fox & friends" just moments away. to eligible members so they can pay for things like groceries before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills.
