defund the department, the mayor doubles down overnight. protests in wake of george floyd's death remaining mostly peaceful over the weekend, brian. brian: yup, ainsley, demonstrators marching from coast to coast demanding police reforms. today president trump is set to hold a law enforcement round table at the white house. we have all this covered for you this morning. but we begin with matt finn in minneapolis where the push to disband the police department is moving forward. isn't that right, matt? >> that is right. it was two weeks ago today that george floyd was killed here in minneapolis. and immediately afterward, several city council members banded together and promise they will dismantle the police department. now there is this major announcement that minneapolis city council members insist they have a veto-proof majority and are moving forward with dismantling the police department. minneapolis city council members now say 9 out of 13 members support dismantling police and they will move forward with

intermediate steps through policy and budget discusses to end what they call a toxic relationship with the police department. >> we're going to create a fear-free future where every life is truly protected and respected. i encourage all of our officers who are still on duty to continue to do your work with compassion, with respect and love, we're going to need every single human to be a part of this project. >> minneapolis city council members admit they don't have the answers about what a police-free future looks like. they have said they want to defund police and invest in things like juvenile crime prevention programs and rely more on social workers and calling 311 versus 911. minneapolis mayor jacob frey is at odds with council. he does not support dismantling the police department and publicly booed at massive rally over the weekend for standing his ground. the mayor also writes in a

statement, quote: i will work relentlessly with chief ordando in working to address systemic racism in police culture. public safety straghtdz on behalf of our city i do not support abolishing the minneapolis police department. former minneapolis officer darren chauvin has been charged with second degree murder in the death of george floyd. he is set to make his first appearance in this courthouse behind me later today. guys? steve: all right. from the twin cities, matt finn, thank you very much. so the big question becomes brian and ainsley, if you defund or dismantle the police department? what does that look like? members on the city council there in minneapolis have been very vegas. they have had a few mints. you know, i don't think they would have put everything on the table at this point. they have suggested that under certain emergencies they might call a mental health professional or might call a

social worker to respond to a call for help. i don't know exactly who they call when somebody is robbing a bank. they haven't exactly worked that out. mayor de blasio in new york is not talking about dismantling the police, but he is talking about giving them less money. yesterday. >> based on the suggestions of the caucus, based on the work of the task force, that we will be moving funding from the nypd to the youth initiatives and social services. the details will be worked out in the budget process in the weeks ahead. but i want people to understand that we are committed to shifting resources to ensure that the focus is on our young people. and i also will affirm while doing that we will only do it in a way that we are certain continues to ensure that this city will be safe. steve: that becomes the question how they do that ainsley. how do you defund or dismantle and keep people safe?

ainsley: right. i heard a police officer or a former police officer earlier say what do you about murders as you were saying when someone rob as bank who goes in? they have to come up with a plan to keep the city safe. de blasio, the mayor of new york city, that you just heard from. he says he wants to spend that money on youth initiatives. right now the annual budget is $6 billion. he said we will come up with a plan over the next few weeks because the next fiscal year is about to begin. the governor, the governor and the mayor have not always agreed throughout this pandemic process and throughout the rioting. and governor cuomo talked about what it would look like to defund the police. listen. this was yesterday. >> you have new york city that is still reigle fro reeling frod virus. now have you this night of a lot of thing that i'm telling you shook people in this city to the core. you don't need police? you don't need police? that's what happens when you don't have effective policing.

ainsley: brian, yet to be determine what will happen in new york, in minneapolis as we saw yesterday, most of the council members up on stage during the protest other over the weekend one of them was the a.g.'s son jeremiah els. his dad is one of the council members. 9 out of the 13 it's a veto proof push so it's definitely going to happen there. brian? brian: yeah. this is the craziest conversation and debate we have had in decades. defund the police, eliminate police force? come in with a peace force? come with counselors call 311 not 911. if you want to reform and talk about it. you put law enforcement at the table. nobody is happy about what happened. 8 out of 10 americans are more concerned about police conduct than they are about the riots. i get it. i saw the "wall street journal" poll as well. but this is insane to take 700

to 800,000 people and tell go do something else, hand in your uniforms. we got this. senator tim scott weighed in. >> well, i would say on the defund police what a ridiculous idea. it is not an idea whose time has come. it should never come. the absolute nation requires law and order. we need order in our streets and the easiest way to have that is to have a strong presence of character-driven law enforcement officers. brian: with senator tim scott saying trey gowdy came back with you have sexual abuse. you have child abuse going on. domestic abuse? you will send in a social worker. good luck with that. social workers don't get paid enough we are going to ask them that? fantastic. the people in the nypd about 38,000. they are not living in the lap of luxury. making about 41,000 to start. going through the academy your

tax system we all live it. a third of that goes right out the window to various taxes. they are barely making ends meet. got to get a second job. take stuff away. 13 cop cars destroyed. 60 damaged. over 300 hurt your answer to that is let's take more stuff away. make them reuse their uniforms. different shoes. take away their handcuffs? this is just insane. i cannot believe we are having this conversation. steve. steve: well, it is something we have been watching over the last week or two. and now let's see where it goes from here. i know the president is going to have a round table in the state dining room at the white house at 3:00 with law enforcement. let's see what comes out of that. meanwhile, if you have been watching, there is quite a brouhaha over at the "new york times." a couple of days ago they published an op-ed by arkansas senator tom cotton and it said simply the headline was send in the troops. and it talked about the use of

national guard and things like that. well, there was an open revolt with the staffers at the "new york times." and then as it turns out, the guy who runs the editorial page james bennett he said you know what? i didn't read it. it didn't go through the normal process. then he apologized. then they had a town hall. then the "times" sent this out. james bennett the editorial page editor of the "new york times" has resigned after a controversy over an op-ed by senator tom cotton that called for military force against protesters in american cities. but is that what it called for, ainsley? ainsley: tom cotton has come out against this because he said they changed my words basically. he is saying that he calls for using military force only as a back jump if police are overwhelmed. he said not to be used against the protesters. so this is what he tweeted out. this is false and offensive. i called for using military force as a backup only if police

are overwhelmed to stop riots, not to be used against protesters. if the "new york times" has any decency left, they should retract it the smear it. has caused a revolt there at the "new york times." some of the journalists saying it endangered some of the black employees or all of the black employees. they said some of the staff called out sick in protest. and the publisher, said he sent a memo out to the staff and in that memo he said he saw a significant breakdown of our editing process james and i agreed it would take a new team to lead this department, brian. brian: unbelievable. ivy league grad fought in the infantry, congressman and sitting senator. i don't know the editorial writer plushes things without reading them. that's his problem. that's his only mistake. his mistake doesn't exist because his goal, i thought, in any newspaper, that's global and has an impact like the "new york times," like it or not, is to gave diversity of opinions after

you offer the news to people. he had every right to plush what senator tom cotton did. tom cotton brings up the fact that george bush 41 brought them out no. uproar that was one city. people tried to diminish what was going on in the country why would you even bring up troops being there? it's because the cities are out of control. row deo drive was being ransacked. small businesses were being destroyed. probably forever. and he said it obviously looked like the police were overwhelmed that is a point of view. senator tom cotton will be coming up at 8:30 today to further try to unwind why an editor was forced to resign and why everyone needed a mental health day at the "new york times" which, by the way, is unexplainable but we will try. steve: well, it looks like they just don't want both sides of the story. even on the op-ed pages. brian: no kidding, yeah. steve: which is trouble ling. we will talk about that throughout the morning. another big story people are

talking about throughout the southeast corner. extreme weather center. criminals toe ball has been downgraded from a tropical storm to a tropical depression: alabama and portions of florida, anxiously. ainsley: alex hogan is joining us from new orleans. our hearts break because first it was corona, then it was the looting and now it's. this how much more can that community take? >> it's a lot for one city, steve, ainsley and brian. the good thing for people here are saying they are prepared for these kinds of storms. and they didn't really see too much besides a lot of rain here. we did see storm surges of up to 5 feet in some areas. take a look at this video. this n bluck's. therin biloxi.tropical storm chl made land fall at 5:00 p.m.

12 inches of rain. the storm flooding roads in some neighborhoods and causing power outages and that's especially within southeast louisiana where you president trump issued an emergency declaration. in florida a tornadoes tore through the area ripping off a roof of the home and downed trees and briars. as crystal ball moved through the gulf coast it stretched about 180 miles dumping water on mississippi, louisiana, alabama, georgia, and florida. here in louisiana, much of the french quarter is already boarded up because of the pandemic. but businesses, used sand bags preparing for any challenges cristobal might bring. >> it's just another month in new orleans. we just june starts all the way to october, this is what we do. >> we will take these any day. definitely don't want anything major like a katrina or a category 1 or 2. anything like that. a tropical storm is easy. >> and, again, this morning an easy morning.

the storm again has moved through as it moves north there still are some storm warnings. the national hurricane center is advising people to keep in mind there still could be flooding especially around rivers in some parts as this storm moves north to missouri as it comes this time tomorrow morning. guys, back to you. brian: alex, thanks so much. appreciate it. of course it takes a lot to rattle that community after they have been through. they're not rattled at all it seems. jillian meally is just hitting her stride. she has been up sings probably midnight getting rid ready for r show. >> mid night alarm. a yifer a gun plowing his car into a crowd of protesters in seattle.

next week. a look at your headlines. i will send it back to you. steve: it's 6:15 here on this monday june 8th. the u.s. economy is starting to make a come back. you saw the numbers on friday. what does this mean for getting the whole nation back to business? charles payne on that, coming up next.

♪ ♪ steve: the american economy starting to make a comeback adding 2.5 million jobs in the single month of may. that is astounding. with businesses rebounding faster than expected, how will this impact be to getting the country back to business? joining us right now for

discussion is host of making money on fox business our buddy charles payne. charles, good morning to you. that number on friday was jaw-dropping. when you look at the sectors they added to to. they added 424,000 to help education services. about quarter of a million to manufacturing. 368 now, to retail and 1.2 million to leisure and hospitality. that last number is important because that -- those people were mostly impacted because so many restaurants and hotels closed during the pandemic. >> right. yeah. and to your point, the prior month, april saw 7.5 million leisure and hospitality jobs gone. so, a huge 1.2 million come back. obviously we need to do more. i was also very, very encouraged by construction 464,000 particularly, you know, construction workers, fanning out over this country. building new homes demand is absolutely through the roof

there is a way to go. so, you know, obviously this number when wall street was expecting a loss of 8 million, i can't even tell you, i don't know if i have ever seen wall street estimates, the consensus, all the experts get it so wrong and i'm glad they did. this is the best news possible. but we want to make sure that we keep it going. so, it's great to see a place like new york city open when perhaps 400,000 people go back to work. maybe california will be open one day. michigan. but this is absolutely remarkable news and it wasn't the only economic indicator that was better. we have seen a string of them come along. by the way wall street was telling you this was going to happen, the stock market, rather. steve: sure. as businesses reopen and for people who are looking in at us, we are in the new jersey, new york area. other parts of the country wide open. you know, they don't have to wear masks around or they don't. it's as if it never happened and

the rate of infection has gone up a little bit. as businesses do reopen, charles, the businesses have got to be really careful because they are worried about liability. if i ask my people to come back in and somebody gets sick even though i followed the cdc guidelines, are they going to try to sue me? are they going to complain? where do we go from here? >> you know, listen, in washington, d.c. there is a lot of talk about being able to protect businesses, particularly small businesses from that kind of liability that you are outlining right there. you know, the country is winding up. measures being taken particularly hard hit areas. we should have never stated certain states the way we did new york. particularly new york city. small businesses are going to make the adjustments. obviously revenues won't be able to go to the levels they were a few months ago but certainly a lot better than zorks right? and these areas where we were completely locked down. it is an amazing sigh of relief. here is some other things from

this report, too i want to know why i think it's going to continue. a thing called a confusion index wonky, best leading indicator through the roof. 23% of the 21 million people unemployed are temporary. they say to the folk who ask them in these surveys we are temporarily unemployed. they were right in april. a lot of the them got their jobs back. we will continue to see that as well. steve: there you go. of course, regarding the pandemic. what we know now is those who are most vulnerable of a certain age and with co-morbid circumstances, they have got to protect themselves and the rest just follow the guidelines. all right, charles. we are going to be watching you at 2:00 this afternoon on making money with charles payne over on fox business. thank you very much, sir. meanwhile still ahead joe biden's short list for president revealed. new signs the former vp has just two names at the top. who are they? stick around. you will find out.

jillian: good morning, back with quick headlines. updated on story we brought you yesterday about colleges considering cutting ties with police. the university of virginia's black student alliance is calling for all outside law enforcement agencies to be banned from campus. the university tells "fox & friends" that is not something it is considering. in addition, we showed a graphic suggesting the university of kentucky and the university of

although we have to consider this news in light of the context of what the country industry recall protest. influences joe biden's decision he has to make shear. i don't envy him. he is between a rock and hard place in his decision to pick a vp. it's really going to signal to democrats and really to the independent voters that he needs to win over what type of administration he would carry out if president. is he going to go down the pat of a defund the police, quite radical administration. or is he going to try to be more moderate. neither kamala harris nor elizabeth warren are moderates in the policies that they have supported. but i'm not sure either of these women would really speak to the moment that we are witnessing before our eyes in light of the

protests and defund the police movement that really has gained a lot of steam. ainsley: who do you think would have a better shot? who do you think would boost him. look at the surveys a morning consult surveys warning would give a biggest boost than harris would. >> look, if we're talking about identity politics which is really the criteria that the left has come to really really consider highly important, kamala harris checks more boxes. but i think elizabeth warren has been, you know, gaining a lot of traction on the left for her policies. we know she would radically transform the american economy. but, again, i'm not sure she checks enough identity politics for her to be chosen ultimately as joe biden's vice president. steve: we wil ainsley: i know president trump picked his v.p., mike pence in

shutdowns, the protesters enter new phase as well aimed at defunding police departments. marchers in scrubs joined the protests on sunday for the most part they were peaceful as they wound their way through new york city streets. through the big apple's most iconic areas like manhattan's union square. but they turned to a new focus now. the calls to defund police departments. some organizers say it's not about stripping departments of all money but as a way to address systemic problems like racism and police brutality. new york's mayor bill de blasio ache questioning to the demands $6 million budget to new efforts. >> we will be moving funding from the nypd to the youth initiatives and social services. i want people to understand that we are committed to shifting resources to insure that the focus is on our young people. well, meanwhile, mayor de

blasio lifted the curfew a day early, congratulating the city on good behavior. there are calls for him to resign over the handling of the heated clashes between police and protesters. as the demonstrations against the death of george floyd reached a violent climate a week ago. now, nearly 300 police officers were injured during the last two weeks of protests. but some good news. one officer run over by a car in the bronx was released from the hospital yesterday. more protests are scheduled today as the funeral for george floyd, the man whose death sparked a global movement will be in houston tomorrow. back to you, steve, ainsley, brian. brian: all right. lauren green, thanks so much. meanwhile, here is the headline, this is how it is going over defund the police. here is the "new york post" headline basically de blasio betrayus. as i take this gradually down. the point is over 300. that's a conservative estimate, dan bongino as we bring you in.

officers have been hurt during these 14 days of protests and sometimes riots. you're a former nypd officer. you are former secret service. you live and breathe service issues. they are not all perfect. did you ever think we would get to this. i look at the way the nypd is acting and i think they have too much money? >> you know, brian, if this goes through, this defund the police abomination, it will be and this is not hyperbolic, the single most catastrophic deadly public policy decision we have seen in the modern history of the united states. make absolutely no mistake about it. people will die. real people. not hollywood nonsense. not movie types. real people, kids, teenagers and adults will die. think about the continuum from low level property crime to murderer he is and terrorists. the message that sends to all of them go. from the low end first. why even bother paying the train fair. jump in the turnstile, get rid of the turnstile.

who is going to pay. they will pay because they are going to do the right thing. really? are you sure about that. most people are going to walk right through. what kind of a message do you think this sends to a murderer or a terrorist or a gang member or a drug dealer slinging crack on the corner of a neighborhood? now that the police are gone, do you think they goal to the local social worker? listen, god bless social workers as i said this weekend on "fox & friends" and i mean it, they do great work. they are entirely completely 1,000% unprepared to go face to face with a murderer or a terrorist and try to use maslow's hierarchy of needs to talk them out of killing people. brian, this is complete insanity. i lived through the exact opposite with rudy giuliani when he you bumped up the police force and said we going to cut off every low level crime. i assure you chaos will result. steve: dan, there is another

story we want to ask you about and we know this is going to get a reaction from you. in providence, rhode island, there is a firefighter who is allegedly pulled over by the police. he had participated in some of the protests. and then he told his story about you felt like he had been racially profiled. well then there is a doughnut shop in the area called alli's donuts. they decided they were going to end the discount for law enforcement. and they posted this on saturday. until local police takes action to solve problems with racism and injustice, alli's donuts will choose to stand with the people of our great state. we no longer offer military or police discounts. here is the thing about the discounts. apparently usually according to the local paper there, the police officers would not even take the discount. they would insist on paying full price. but, nonetheless, al alli's is making this police. >> most police officers are prohibited from taking those discounts anyway.

the point is they were trying to send a statement this place. and it's clear. that statement is obviously anti-police. steve, let me ask you an obvious question. we all agree stereotyping is wrong. every sane person understands you don't base it on job. you ways it on individual characteristics and action. sane, ethical morally upstanding thing to do. what i don't understand by trying to face down racial inequality and stereotyping. you are stereotyping the cops? i'm serious. i'm just asking people for a second. especially the liberals listening to take off, you know, the dunst cap for a moment and think about it logically. we all agree stereo typing and racial is wrong. there was no disagreement about what happened to george floyd. why are you stoking division by attacking all cops which 95% of them are really good people. moms and dads. i said once, keep this in mind.

this is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. i said to ainsley a long time ago after talking about sadly another story about a police officer being killed. i said you know i get a text about two or three times a year from a friend of mine in the nypd who has since retired about someone i knew or someone i knew knew someone else is now dead. either i went through the academy with them. in a precinct with them trained with them. about two or three times a year. dead, shot or something else. think about if that was your job. imagine going to work every day a co-worker killed, maimed or shot or attacked in the line of duty? how would you feel? that's the life of a cop every single a day. keep that in mind when you stereotype every single one as a thug while trying to fight against racism. what are you missing here? ainsley: dan, in minneapolis, they want to disband, no more police. police-free. in new york, they want to reduce funds and redirect funds. the doughnut shops, there are other restaurants we have been reporting on, too.

that are no longer offering discounts. not only for police officers, law enforcement, but military. so what do we do? obviously we need to have conversations. there needs to be reform. disbanding is completely different than reducing funds. what are your thoughts? how do we change what's been happening? >> you know, ainsley, i'm sorry to tell you i don't know what we can do anymore. i don't know what we can do anymore. we put throughout that, yes. there are obviously bad apples in policing. yes we have civilian complaints review boards. yes, oversight of police officers is clear. we need that i'm a libertarian at heart. but the statistics don't marry up. and it doesn't seem to be getting through with some people on the left with a divisible agenda. they are absolutely committed to systemic racism monologues and talking points despite the fact that when you say to them you understand the system you are talking about is run by democrats and liberals, right? then they turn around and call you a racist? how do you have a reasonable

conversation. when i say i used to respond to domestic violence situations? they're the worst. ask any police officer. the absolute worst. when you walk in that house and see the kid grilled in my head 5-year-old kid sigd in the corner cowering and his father just lost it. and you are sitting there between preventing that chaos or death that would have occurred. who do you think so is going to stop that? again a social worker is going to walk in there? i'm sorry, folks that's not the way the real world works. you have to get out of the cacoon you live in and seat world for what it is not for what you want it to be. brian: dan, thanks so much. >> the lapd cut 176 million out. they were supposed to increase by 7%. social workers expanding their duties we don't pay them enough toll begin with expand their duties and call 311. fantastic, brilliant. i can't wait for joe biden to weigh in. right now they officially don't have a comment. let's see how this divides both parties. and by the way we found the one

union that democrats don't like it's the police union. so, let's see how that plays out. dan bongino, thanks so much. >> thanks, guys. appreciate it. brian: talk to you soon. i wish it was a better topic. meanwhile for the second time in annual hour, it's true i get to toss to jillian mele. jillian, the ball is yours. jillian: thank you very much. wow, this is my favorite day. the headlines begin with this. retired st. louis police captain outs of a pawnshop is now in custody. 24-year-old stephon cannon charged with murder overnight. political science say cannon was stealing tvs from the shop as david done arrives. that's when he shot and killed him. 77-year-old spent nearly 40 years with the st. louis police department. the department of justice is demanding to speak with england's prince andrew over his ties to jeffrey up stein. according to reports, federal prosecutors put in a formal request to the british government. prince andrew has denied having sexual relations with the woman trafficked by epstein after she claims they did. president trump slamming nfl

commissioner roger goodell overnight before apologizing about the league's handling of the national anthem protest. >> we, the national football league, admit we were wrong for not listening to nfl players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peaceably protest. jillian: the president tweeting quote could it be even remotely possible that in roger goodell's rather interesting statement of peace and reconciliation, he was incident mating that it would now be okay for the players to o kneel or to not stand for the national anthem, thereby disrespecting our country and our flag? steve: thank you very much. now let's go to janice dean who is tracking a storm down south on this monday morning. j.d.? janice: our third tropical storm of the season and we are only a week. in cristobal. depression right now. downgraded as of the last advisory at 5:00 a.m. it's still going to cause a lot of problems.

especially over areas mississippi, tennessee, and ohio river valley up towards the great lakes where the storm is actually going to interact with a cold front and strengthen. so this is going to be a very strong storm system as we go through tuesday and wednesday. heavy rainfall, tropical storm force wind gusts as well as severe storms as well. so, the flooding is going to be a big concern 2 to 4 inches isolated amounts in a very short period of time. flash flood watches and warnings are posted especially over areas of mississippi, alabama, and then again up towards the tennessee and ohio river valley. also warm temperatures ahead of this system and a very strong cold front that's going to interact with it is bringing snow. snow to the northern rockies today. back to you, steve, ainsley and brian. ainsley: didn't expect that president trump ordering the national guard to withdraw from washington after protests remain peaceful over the weekend. joey jones says it's the right call.

brian: turning to a fox news alert. -- trump opting to remove the

troops citing the peaceful nature of the weekend's protest. joining us now to react is fox news contributor, retired marine corps bomb technician joey jones: is this the right move. >> i think it was. war memorials may just be stone and granite to most people. they mean something to me. i appreciate the fact that our own president was driven into a bunker because these riots were so violent and d.c. did such a bad job stopping them from becoming riots you have to do something to show people this isn't acceptable and using the national guard we have seen worked peacefully. so i don't really understand why everyone is throwing their hands up running away if you look at actually what's happened the threat of using military force had general mattis write not guilty atlantic. general kelly backing up mattis and general allen was never on the same team. how do you explain in 912 is okay in one city. you got about multiple cities and it's not okay when president

trump says i'm going to possibly use them? >> it's all about delivery. president trump made a mistake and he acknowledged. governors use your national guard or under control or i will be forced to use the military and do it myself. he didn't say it would be a different tactic if you didn't do it he would. a few minutes before he did that they went a little too far probably in d.c. on his way over. you have to look at those two separate incidents. what happened president protesters in d.c. is not necessarily what he was saying he was going to do throughout the country if they didn't get these rights under control and that mixed signals and got everyone upset. the one thing i will say about generals they don't change. everything is one way or the other. cut and clear. and with president trump pretty much everything is in the gray area. rhetoric is one thing and action is another. i don't think the generals really understood that and have ever understood that about him. brian: right. i also could say maybe the threat of doing that helped reign in these riots and kicked

the police force and national guard into gear. joey, i'm excited about your new series because it's something i have no experience in but i can't wait to watch other people do it. it's fox nation goes outdoors with you. tell me about it. >> yeah. you know i go on this journey it's a hunting trip with four or five of my close friends and one or two new ones. i think we have a clip here to show you a little bit of a hog hunt with kurt busch. >> let's go bow hunting because i want to teach you, joey, something i have learned and put a lot of practice and time into. >> i haven't killed. anna: mall with a bow yet. that's on the list for this weekend. you are going to be here for it. you are bringing me on my first bow hunt. brian: joey, kurt busch? >> yeah. so that's kurt busch, a championship nascar driver and we spent two or three days together. there are five or other guests on the show.

>> our commitment is to end the toxic relationship with the minneapolis police department. to say end policing as we know it. and to recreate systems of public safety that actually keep us safe. ainsley: this is a fox news alert. a effort to abolish police. getting rid of the police department all together. the mayor is not on board with that idea, brian. brian: not at all. and getting booed out of a protest over the weekend for saying he defund the department, the mayor doubling down overnight. protest over george floyd's

death remaining mostly peaceful over the weekend which is great news. demonstrators marching from coast to coast throughout the world demanding police reform, steve. steve: meanwhile, brian, later today at 3:00 in the afternoon, president trump is set to hold a law enforcement round table at the white house. it is closed to the press and we do not know at this point what law enforcement has been invited. we have all that covered this morning but we begin with matt finn in the twin cities where the officer who held his knee on george floyd's neck is due in court later today for the very first time. matt? >> steve, in just a few hours now, former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin is set to make his first appearance in this courthouse behind me. he is charged with second degree murder in the death of george floyd, which happened two weeks ago today here in minneapolis shortly after that death, several council members in minneapolis banded together saying they will dismantle

police and now the major announcement, council members say they have a veto-proof majority to end what they call a toxic relationship with the police department. here is one of the council members and then also u.s. represent representative ilhan omar reacting that. >> doesn't mean an end to safety and hit the eject button without a plan. plans have to start somewhere. >> no one is advocating for lawlessness. no one is advocating for our community to be endangered. no one is advocating for crime map in minneapolis without there being accountability. >> minneapolis city council members say they don't have the answers about what a police-free future looks like. but they have previously said they want to defund police and invest in juvenile prevention crime programs and rely more on city resources. calling 311 instead of 911. well, minneapolis mayor jacob frey is at odds with city

council. he was publicly booed at a massive rally over the weekend for standing his ground and explaining his decision not to defund police. >> you are asking whether i'm for reform to revise the racist system, the answer is yes. if you are asking whether i dual everything to push back in the iniquities built into the architecture the answer is yes. >> today in houston and texas, there is a public memorial for george floyd. joe biden is scheduled to travel to texas to meet with the floyd family. back to you guys. ainsley: all right. matt, thank you so much. many are saying it takes a lot of guts for that mayor to come forward and say look, i'm all for reform but i'm not for a police-free zone. whether you have 9 of the 13 council members on that stage saying that they definitely want to eradicate the police department. disband the police department. here in new york mayor de

blasio is talking about making changes as well. other communities around the country talking about what they can do whether or not it's disbanding or reallocating the appropriations, the money here in new york. they get $6 billion, the police annual budget. and mayor de blasio saying he wants to shift that budget, shift some of those funds. he wants to take money away from the police department and focus it more on youth initiatives and social supervisors. here is mayor bill de blasio. >> based on the suggestions of the caucus, based on the work of the task force that we will be moving funding from the nypd to the youth initiatives and social services. ththe details will be worked out in the budget process in the weeks ahead i want people to understand we are committed to shifting resources so the focus is on our young people and i also will affirm while doing that we will only do it in a way that we are certain continues to ensure that this city will be

safe. ainsley: the question is what is police-free or defunding look like. even the governor of new york cuomo said we just went through covid and seen all this looting and now you want to take away the police. what will that look like, brian? brian: couple things. the governor said of course we need police. crazy thing to bring up now if i can paraphrase. ends with we had bad policing. we didn't have bad policing. their hands are tied because you have a mayor that toe don't respect each other. the mayor hates the governor in new york city and the governor hates the mayor. the police can't stand the mayor from a to z they turn their backs on him every chance they get. this will manage to make things worse. have you men and women working maybe 16 hours a day for the last 14 day who have gotten over 300 brought to the hospital because they have been beat up or 50 cars at least 47 to 50

cars defiled by protesters. those peaceful protesters. blown up. pick up the paper and find out the have too much money. 6% of the budget is too much to give to 35,000 police force have to guard the biggest cities and all the boroughs. does that make sense to dan bongino? let's find out. >> what kind of a message do you think this sends to a murderer or a terrorist or a gang member or drug dealer slinging crack on the corner of a neighborhood? now that the police are gone, do you think they goal to the local social worker? listen, god bless social workers as i said this weekend on "fox & friends" and i mean it, they do great work. they are entirely, completely 1,000% unprepared to go face to face with a murderer or a terrorist and try to use mazda low's hierarchy of needs to talk them out of killing people.

brian, this is complete insani insanity. city of los angeles, he wants to cut 150 million out. there is nine representatives in if you want to ban cut out choke holds talk about it. examine what's gone wrong, we have got to have that conversation. police officers want to do it, too. but, to ban the police and label them as all bad, tell 700,000 people to go home and do something else while not giving them doughnut discounts and not doing their dry cleaning that is a bridge too far. ainsley, you pointed out that the mayor had the guts in minneapolis where is joe biden's guts. his personal statement is i have no statement. show some guts if you want to be president of the united states. steve: welt, and going forward, it will be interesting to see in

minneapolis for them to explain how this would work if they want to dismantle it we talked an hour ago in certain situations might call a mail health professional. social work. we don't know who theo will call if there is significant crime. does someone show up armed or who is that person? brian, you are right. it would be great to hear from joe biden sooner rather than later. is he going to fly by private jet to meet with the family of george floyd and maybe he will reveal about how he feels about defunding the police. people would like to know that before they vote for him for president. speaking of voting for him for president, collin powell made it clear to him yesterday despite the fact that he is a very famous republican, he is going to vote for the democrat a long time friend. here he is. recommendation i'm very close to joe biden in a social matter and on a political matter.

i work with him for 35, 40 years. and he is now the candidate and i will be voting for him. steve: there you go. meanwhile, the "new york times" had this item about other republicans who are not on the trump bandwagon. they say former president george w. bush won't support the re-election the mr. trump and jeb bush isn't sure how he will vote, say people familiar with their thinking. urge mitt romney of you call won't back in mr. trump and is deliberating whether to again write in his wife ann or cast another ballot this november. and cindy mccain and widow of john mccain most certain to support joe biden. but is unsure how public to be about it because one of her son is eyeing a run for office. some of the republicans some of them would have been on the list of never trumpers back in the

day. so, the closer we get to the election, the more we're going to hear from them. and it shouldn't surprise anybody that perhaps those mainstream conservatives are not on board with the disrupter president. ainsley: right. when president bush heard about it his campaign came out over the weekend and said we are not talking politics here. the mitt romney piece of this so many rifts over the past they have not gotten along and that's been public. the president made comments about john mccain i'm sure it upset the family and i know it upset meghan i have heard her talk about it. not surprising probably to most americans. mollie mollie hemmingwayway has talked about it. fox news contributor. she has down played it. it's not stunning he voted for hillary clinton and admitted that in 2016 collin powell. listen. >> george w. bush's official spokesperson said that was not accurate what the "new york times" had reported. and colin powell, i don't think has voted republican since 2004. so i'm not sure how news worthy it is he has not voted

republican since 2004. brian: just to add a couple of things, number one i can never say anything bad about the bush family. bush family is one of the great families in the country. they are very loyal. when the president went personally at jeb bush, george bush would never publicly go for donald trump. they sore loyal to each other i get it and i understand it. and it's not unusual because barbara didn't vote for him and i don't think george bush 41 voted for him last time around. and colin powell i still think would have been a great president had he won had he had that opportunity. did he not like john mccain. did he not vote for mitt romney. no surprise not going to vote for donald trump. that is not news at all. doesn't mean he did any disservice to his country. what i find astound something joe biden according to former secretary of defense gates has been on the wrong side of every foreign policy issue last 30 years and colin powell focuses on policy in a war time general.

i don't know how he could actually sign on to somebody who has been so wrong so often. meanwhile, let's go over to janice, she has the extreme weather forecast what's going on with this down graded tropical depression. janice? -- excuse me, my bad we actually have a report on this. go ahead, steve. steve: right. alex hogan is joining us from on shore where there is a lot of flooding. >> hi, steve, ainsley and brian, you are right. you can see the water levels here are still very low. we do need to keep in mind there are flood warnings as this storm moves further north. yesterday it arrived here about 12 hours ago and it was just a lot of rain. so much so that many people actually came out here just to watch the storm. >> it was not anything substantial. we saw that the winds were not predicted to be any more than

about 50 or 60. and that's not really hurricane. >> it's just another month in new orleans. we just -- june starts, all the way to being o. this is what we do. >> part of the culture. >> a storm surge warning remains in effect until later this morning. kiss toe ball the third named storm of this hurricane receivable flooded some neighborhoods, roads and caused thousands of power outages. some along the gulf coast. take a look at this shot of the u.s. air force reserve hurricane hunters flying through the storm it. stretched 180 miles dumping rain on mississippi. louisiana, alabama, georgia and florida. there in florida a tornadoes in orlando touched down which uprooted trees, tore down power lines and roof off a home. as storms do typically once they reach land they weaken that's what we saw here as cristobal moves inland it will be moving through arkansas and then missouri. but, again, there are still some flood warnings and watches in

effect so people in those areas should keep that in mind. guys? ainsley: alex, thank you for that report. incredible images. house democrats are set to unveil police reform plans today amid growing calls to defund apartments. congressman steve scalise's life was saved by police after he was shot. what does he think? we will ask him next. back ther? instead of using aloe, or baby wipes, or powders. try the cooling, soothing relief of preparation h. because your derriere deserves expert care. try new soothing relief. good morning, mr. sun. good morning, blair.

steve, is it safe to say that you guys did okay through this or is it too early? >> yeah, brian, you know, the real bulk of the rain came late last night and/or the night before last and yesterday morning the eye passed over here close to 2:00 in the afternoon a lot of water we saw water tropical storm and not a hurricane low lying areas that typically get a lot of water did get some heavy water but no mainstream flooding. we need to keep our fingers crossed as it moves through. from city to city big movement from los angeles to new york to minneapolis to defund the police in washington you are not talking about refunding the rede police you are talking about reform. >> there has been a lot of conversation over the last few weeks, obviously we all mourn

the death of george floyd. we want to see justifiable carried out and i think, you know, you are finally seeing that in minneapolis and that's where they are going to have to really ensure that justice is carried out. and if there is these, you know, these other communities you are seeing a lot of the discussion about where to go next. and we need to keep having that discussion not with violence but, you know, with real people talking to each other. as far as the democrat package i'm not sure what they will be rolling out. so many abuses of power in any position of law enforcement. there needs to be accountability. we have been talking about that for a long time as well. and so, you know, accountability and justice need to be served. brian: do you believe there is racial iniquity when it comes to law enforcement across the country? >> you know, look, we have seen some police departments that have had serious problems and

enter into consent decrees with the justice department. when you look into minneapolis it seems like they have had some problems that didn't go addressed and we where these departments have had problems we need to look into what they are doing there everybody ought to be treated equally and you shouldn't -- again, if anybody in law enforcement abuses their position, they need to be held accountable. brian: do you think solving it would be giving them less money? >> no. you are even seeing on the left debate where like you pointed out the mayor of new york is for defunding police and governor of new york is not. joe biden is trying to play both ends of this and hide out in his bunker not directly address it while yet trying to embrace quietly elm brace the defund movement. he ought to be very vocal about where he is on this it's not the direction to go.

does nancy pelosi say it's okay now to go back in washington in person for this wells for the pandemic? >> it's been okay to go back to work for a long time. >> we had a vote will safety and people practice social distancing. congress should have been in washington throughout a lot of this to show people how to come bang safely. again, you go look at the states that opened up and opened up early they didn't have any outbreak different than anywhere else in the country. that's what the shut-in was supposed to be about to make sure the hospitals don't get overrun. now we are seeing the hospitalst to the point we want this their regular customers and patients come back. patients need to be treated. health studies showing that people not going to their doctors causing severe life-threatening consequences. in many cases spikes in death from non-covid related things because people aren't going to

see their doctor congressman exciting sprint to november. we will see how this all plays out as we focus on the protest and the pandemic at the same time. thank you very much, steve, appreciate it congressman. >> always a pleasure. brian: you got it. many small businesses were struggling during the pandemic. now they are trying to recover from looting in many cases. will they be able to reopen at all? our small business owner panel here to discuss it next. i can save you... lots of money with liberty mutual! we customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

brian: protest over george floyd's death remaining mostly peaceful nationwide. that's good news. in new york demonstrators marching into the night with the city curfew lifted, steve? steve: that's right. lifted one day early.

meanwhile in washington, d.c., protesters lying down on the street near the white house as you can see right there. meanwhile in the state of texas, thousands gathering at a university in austin. before marching to the state capital in austin. ainsley? ainsley: and then in los angeles, around 20,000 reportedly joining protests in hollywood. let's bring in chris wallace, the anchor of "fox news sunday" and author of a brand new book that comes out tomorrow, it's called countdown 1945. there is a picture of it. the extraordinary story of the atomic bomb and 116 days that changed the world. good morning to you, chris. >> hey, guys. great to be with you. ainsley: we always welcome you on our show. the protests are continuing. good news is most of them were peaceful over the weekend. so what happens next for this movement? >> well, you know, that's the big question, ainsley. because we have seen this story before, you know, it doesn't happen often, but there are cases of unwarranted police

force that result either in beatings or even in death. you know, we saw it with rodney king. we saw it with eric garner. and then we see protests and sometimes the protests turn violent and demands for reform and nothing much changes. and that of course, is the big question. will things change? there are certainly some sensible reforms that need to be made and maybe some not so sensible reforms like defunding or disbanding the police which strike me probably shouldn't be implemented. brian: chris, that's so measured it. strikes you as maybe should not be implemented. that's the professionalism that chris wallace brings to the take. and here's the thing. the democrats are putting things together that many people think are sensible and not as extreme but, congressman steve scalise says i haven't been dealt in at all and set minority whip. >> yeah. i was looking, the democrats are

going to unveil their bill this week. some of it strikes me as perfectly sensible. for instance, the idea of more transparency. so people are able to find out if a policeman has a number of misconduct allegations and how they were disposed of whether convicted or exonerated that one strikes me -- i'm all for transparency in every institution. there is another one which would basically take away some of the immunity, legal immunities that police have on the one hand if they have done bad things, you certainly want them to be held responsible. on the other hand, you do worry that some of these reforms may make it harder for police to do their job. i mean, we certainly don't want brutality and we don't want discrimination on the part of the police force. on the other hand, if we were all taught as kids and i understand why too many blacks don't feel this way. you know, we were taught as kids

the policeman is our friend and for the vast majority of americans is he. it's that thin blue line that protects us from criminals. from crime. from wrongdoing. while we wants to reform the system we don't want to do so to such an extent that police are afraid to do their jobs. steve: right. well, we are going to talk more about that throughout the morning. chris, let's talk a little bit about your brand new book. it is terrific. it is officially on sale tomorrow. countdown 1945. 116 days truman suddenly -- you know, changed the world essentially. and it's a great depiction of those 116 days where harry truman, who had been vice president for only three months, suddenly in the big chair and he goes from being sworn in as president to ordering the dropping of the bomb, which you know was probably the most consequential decision any president has ever made in history. no.

i agree. you know, i have been thinking about this book and you all know you all have had best sellers. you have all gone on book tours. i think -- i hope it's a history thriller in the sense by putting it not each day but key days in those 116 days and calling it a countdown you know we begin on april 12th and the vice president is at the capitol and he gets a call to go to the white house. he doesn't know. what and he puts on the phone jesus christ in general jackson and he comes to the white house and eleanor roosevelt tells him fdr is dead you are now the president. he is sworn in and harry stempson secretary of war takes him aside you don't know about this even though have you been a vladimir putin. the manhattan project has been underway for three years we are developing an atom bomb from. then until august 6th. it's the story of you who he has to make this as you say wrenching, maybe the biggest decision any president has had to make. the scientists at los alamos,

they still don't know whether the atom bomb will work. they don't have the first test until three weeks before the bomb is dropped. the flight crew on island who doesn't know if they do deliver the bomb to he hiroshima whether they will get knocked out of the sky from the aftershocks. little story of little 10-year-old girl ground zero who lived through the explosion is still alive. we talked to her on documentary last night on fox. i hope at each point you have a sense of the uncertainty and enormity of the situation that they faced. ainsley: what did that lady say about that experience, chris? >> well, she was 10 years old at the time and obviously it was absolutely terrifying for her. interestingly enough, because, obviously there hadn't been an atom bomb, ainsley but there had been fire bombing of japanese cities, tokyo 100,000 people had

been killed and her mother had drilled into her what to do she thought if there was fire bombing that you got under something heavy so that when the house collapsed on you, that it wouldn't crush you. that saved her life. and then her mother said go to the river because it is going to be fire and if you get in the river, then you won't burn. she did exactly those things which saved her life, unfortunately her mother was out doing some civil defense work and she was killed and little he had deck cahedeca lost her mom. brian: how unlikely it was for harry truman to be president. the special last night was fantastic. really was awesome. now we can catch ton fox nation, correct, countdown 1945? >> that's right. can you watch it on fox nation while you either order the book online or you can go to your

bookstore if it's open in your city and buy the book. so, you can countdown the countdown. all i can say guys is that i can join the fly of who have within on best seller lists. i would like to join the group. ainsley: there is no doubt. brian: you picked a great topic. i got advanced copy because i know someone in the wallace family. chris, thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> thank you, guys. great to be with you. brian: hopefully you will be back. brian: meanwhile jillian mele is back. jillian: we begin with a fox news alert. a massive fire breaks out near downtown phoenix overnight. look at this. hundreds of firefighters working to put out the fire at a four story apartment complex under construction. police arresting a man who was firing a gun nearby. it's not clear if he is connected to the fire. thankfully no one was hurt. heavy smoke could be seen for miles away from the freeway. police are searching for the

person who killed a former nfl wide receiver out of his home. he was shot in the chest in tampa saturday night. his family says he was ambushed by a couple of shooters. they believe it was a robbery attempt. police didn't reveal a motive though but say it doesn't appear to be random. caldwell played for the chargers redskins during six year career. a georgia republican congressional candidate is calling out facebook for taking down her ad aimed at antifa. marjorie taylor green joined "fox & friends first" earlier this morning saying it's another case of conservative censorship. >> they are so leftist in their beliefs and the leftist they have become the thought police. they basically declare themselves god and judge us for our thoughts and it's completely wrong. >> facebook told her campaign video violated company policies against promoting the use of firearms. kevin hart winning the folds of honor quick trip 500. he led most of the way.

a scary moment after the race. bubba wallace was appearing to faint during a live interview. >> what did it mean to you to see everybody come together and recognize and take a moment of listening? are you okay? he is not okay. >> he needs medical. >> wow, that is scary. he is doing okay though. harvick, wallace and other racers are joining the pledge to do more to address racial inequality as you can see they posted videos to their social media and claiming that they are going to listen more. guys, send it back to you. steve: all right. jillian, thank you for the nascar update. meanwhile, time for weather. for that we go to janice dean in the weather bunker and you are busy on this monday, june 8th. janice: yes. our third named storm, our tropical storm cristobal made landfall yesterday in louisiana. still bringing very heavy rain to louisiana, mississippi, alabama, up into arkansas. and this storm is going to push

northward over the next 24 to 48 hours and bring heavy rain as well as tropical storm force winds and actually strengthen as it gets close to the great lakes and the upper midwest. so we are going to be talking about the pat of the storm for the next couple of days. flash flood watches and warnings are in effect across the mississippi, the tennessee and the ohio river valley all the way up towards the great lakes. so, several inches of rain in a short period of time. we could actually see the potential for severe storms as well with tornadoes. isolated tornadoes. we had a tornadoes yesterday in florida because the storm is wide reaching. so, the flash flood threat will be ongoing. the severe threat as well as we go through the next couple of days and certainly as the storm interacts with the cold front getting stronger. so 35, 40, 50 mile-per-hour winds as it moves in towards the midwest on tuesday and wednesday. and is that severe threat will be ongoing as well. other big stories we are following, extreme heat across

the upper midwest. in advance of that storm system and that cold front is going it bring snow. snow to the northern rockies today and tomorrow as well. we'll keep you up to date. steve, ainsley, brian, back to you. ainsley: thank you, janice. what did china know and when? the country defending its response to the covid-19 pandemic. newt gingrich is going to react live next. to eligible members so they can pay for things like groceries before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills. discover all the ways we're helping members today. or credit card bills.

♪ brian: in a new report china now defending response to the coronavirus. the country saying it wasted no time, closed quote, sharing information. steve: that's right. brian. this as new satellite data suggests coronavirus may have reportedly hit china earlier than they told us. ainsley: here to discuss this is fox news contributor and author of the upcoming book trump and the american future. newt gingrich. good morning to you, newt. >> good morning. good to be with you. ainsley: good to have you here. this is interesting. this new satellite data is from harvard's medical school. it's a study they did. they said that they saw hospital traffic in five hospitals in the wuhan area. they saw increased hospital traffic late summer, newt. so that's a lot earlier than

what they were reporting. your thoughts? >> i'm not sure quite that early. although hospital traffic referred. to say i did a podcast recently with the founder of blue dot. which is a firm which tracks these kind of viruses as early as december 28th they were warning their clients that something was going belong to wuhan and you had to watch out for it potentially becoming a pandemic. but, the truth truth is. this is going to be boring because it's going to come up over and over and keep repeating it. the chinese communist lies all the time and without any sense of decency and they are lying now. they did everything they could to cover this up. we don't know why. they have done everything they could to cover up where it came from and now senior intelligence people in both britain and israel saying almost certainly came from their biological laboratory. whether that was deliberate or

just escaped, we don't know. they clearly followed a policy of using the period while they were lying to buy medical supplies all around the world. they also used that period to stop travel from wuhan in china, continued travel from wuhan on international flights. understand xi jinping the general secretary of the chinese communist party and his party routinely lied. they think it's normal to lie and they think we are dumb enough to believe it. brian: they are also trolling us with the unrest and protest they are making comments that just show a frat boy attitude which is disturbing. snut, let's talk about something else that matters a lot with this election. that is about this mail-in ballots. the president is a stalwart in saying we shouldn't do it. you write an op-ed saying we absolutely shouldn't do it. here is the headline. democrats want to steal the november election and here is how. you believe this is how.

why? >> well, i just did a podcast which we released on sunday with the heritage foundation expert. they have in their website 1300 examples of election theft, voter theft, voter fraud. so when people tell you this isn't a problem. they are just not being serious about it. we watched them last year in california, in california's ballot harvesting. we have seen them in new york. issue, for example, driver's licenses to illegal immigrants and now announce they are going to send ballots to everybody who has a driver's license. you know, i think you have to assume that the democrats believe they can't win an honest election. and that they intend every way they can to somehow make an election impossible to enforce. steve: yeah. newt, let me ask you about this. colin powell is not going to

vote for trump. romney not going to vote for trump. bushes not going to vote for trump. >> first of all colin powell voted for hillary clinton. the fact that he is going to continue to vote for a liberal democrat is not a shock. disappointment because spowl a decent honorable guy but it doesn't surprise me. i thought his explanation told you everything you needed to know about the so-called deep state. he said social friend of joe biden for 35 years. part of the washington game. i'm a little more surprised in the bushes and romney for this reason. you can't think about it trump vs. profession. if we end up with biden. speaker pelosi and minority leader schumer they will in a matter of months create a radically different america. they learned from mistakes in obama years. look what's happening in california. look what's happening in new york. they dual everything they can to make this a one party country and i think it will be

horrifying. i think it's a little strange that people like romney and bush would say that having the united states run like biden, pelosi, and schumer is somehow a better future than donald trump and you have to wonder, i mean, have they thought seriously about this? as you know i also did a podcast on pelosi's 3 trillion-dollar bill pointing out radical ideas. it's unbelievable. ainsley: well, newt, thank you so much for coming on with us. new book trump and the american future comes out on june 23rd amazon. thank you. coming up senator tom cotton and pastor tony evans. pronamel repair allows more minerals to penetrate deep into the enamel layer and it repairs it. it is pretty phenomenal. ...

>> our commitment is to end our city's toxic relationship with the minneapolis police department, to end policing as we know it. brian: this is a fox news alert a new push to abolish the police i'm not kidding minneapolis city council plans to get rid of the police department altogether the mayor not on board with that idea. steve: that's right, brian after getting boo'd out of a protest over the weekend for refusing to say he would defund the department the minneapolis mayor doubling down moments ago, protests over george floyd's death meanwhile remaining peaceful over the weekend.

demonstrators marching from coast to coast demanding police reform. ainsley: today president trump is set to hold a law enforcement roundtable at the white house, and we have all of that covered this morning but we begin with matt finn in minneapolis where the officer who held his knee on george floyd's neck is due in court today for the very first time. matt? reporter: ainsley in just a few hours now, former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin is scheduled to make his first appearance in this courthouse he's charged with second degree murder in the death of george floyd. that killing happened two weeks ago today here in minneapolis and immediately after that incident, several members of minneapolis city council bounded together, saying they will dismantle the police department and now, the major announcement comes councilmembers say they have a veto proof majority to end what they call a toxic relationship with the police department. however, minneapolis mayor jacob frey is at odds with these city council members and is not backing down of his

stance from not dismantling police. >> am i for entirely abolish ing the police department , no i'm not so over the coming days and weeks, i'm looking forward to working with council and talking with them about deciphering what particularly they mean when they say ending and abolishing. reporter: the mayor was publicly boo'd at a massive rally in minneapolis for standing his ground on his decision not to defund police. minneapolis councilmembers say they don't have all the answers about what a police-free future looks like, but they have previously said they want to de fund police and invest in juvenile crime prevention programs calling 311 instead of 911 and relying more on city resources. >> we're going to create a fear -free future where every life is truly protected and respected. i encourage all of our officers who are still on duty to continue to do your work with

compassion, with respect, and love. we're going to need every single human to be a part of this project. reporter: and today, in houston, texas, there is a public memorial for george floyd, and joe biden is scheduled to travel there to meet with the floyd family. guys? brian: thanks, matt. it's amazing, so minneapolis police where this whole thing happened and matt's been bringing us through we saw the unrest and the violence and now the protests thankfully as the numbers continue to grow and the message is heard but the message i find disturbing is defund the police. let's get rid of the police department. makes absolutely no sense and in new york not only does it make no sense to the average person but to mayor deblasio it makes perfect sense. he has 6% of his budget goes to the police. he's looking to cut that down significantly and would further lengthen things between the police and the mayor himself , who by the way the governor disagree disagrees with the mayor on this and they both dislike each other and the

police don't like the mayor. all it leads to is the people of new york being worse off for it. listen to how he tries to establish his new policy together. >> based on the suggestions of the caucus, based on the work of the task force that we will be moving funding from the nypd to the youth initiatives and social services. the details will be worked out in the budget process in the weeks ahead but i want people to understand that we are committed to shifting resources to ensure that the focus is on our young people. and i also will affirm while doing that we will only do it in a way that we are certain continues to ensure this city will be safe. brian: yeah, that'll happen. let's defund them and give them less equipment and less resources less people and they continue to make the city safe which it's not. over 300 police officers have been injured over the last 10 days of riots and now, they have a special warning.

look out, guys, and ladies, for tennis balls filled with concrete so now they are making less money with less equipment while dodging tennis balls filled with concrete. fantastic mayor, you're right on the same page with america. steve? steve: well you know, brian, there are two movements underway right now. there is the dismantling of the police department which is what they are talking about in minneapolis and then there is the defunding of the new york city police department as we see right there with that sign. you know, when you look at what the covid pandemic has done to each and every city's budget, we had mayor deblasio on this program live about a month ago, talking about how there's going to be at that point, there's going to be a $7 billion shortfall in revenues, tax revenues to new york city. now they're estimating that it's 9 billion, so everything in the city budget is going to have to get cut and so ultimately

they're looking at could they do $1 billion? don't know, going forward but when the mayor says we're looking at defunding essentially every department is going to wind up getting defunded a bit but what is different about what deblasio said is she will reallocate some of the money from the general treasury into these social service programs that's what he's doing but nonetheless for him to say we're defunding politically, that is helpful to him because a lot of the people in his area are very interested in that movement. the governor doesn't like that idea though, and yesterday he made it very clear from the state capitol that when you look at what happened last week, in new york city, that's what happens when you don't have cops >> you have new york city that is still reeling from the covid virus, and now you have this night of looting that i'm telling you shook people in the

city to the core. you don't need police. you don't need police. that's what happens when you don't have effective policing. brian: so ainsley, it will be interesting to see if the mayor and the governor ever wind up on the same page. ainsley: yeah, that will be interesting to see. you know when you look at what the mayor is doing in minneapolis he's going against what the majority of the city council wants to do, and he was on that stage and he got boo'd but it took a lot of guts for him to do that because many people are worried. what's going to happen who do we call if there's an emergency situation, what about domestic violence, child abuse, what about murder and rape and looting. who do you call? you call 311 instead of 911? if you call 311 in the city, oftentimes those are questions about central park or a park in the city or garages or paying for parking. it's not necessarily if i have

an emergency, can you come and help me. so there are a lot of questions here, makes a lot of people nervous. yes there needs to be reform and there needs to be change and those conversations need to be had. the presidents doing that with leaders today. it's not going to be open to cameras and press, so we'll have to rely on reports when talking to the people who are in the room with him. dan bongino, who was a law enforcement officer in new york city, he says this is complete insanity. listen. >> what kind of a message do you think this sends to a murderer or a terrorist or a gang member or a drug dealer sl inging crack on the corner of a neighborhood? now that the police are gone do you think they go to the local social worker? listen, god bless social workers and i said this weekend on fox & friends they do great work. they are entirely completely 1,000% unprepared to go face to face with a murderer or a terrorist and use maslowe's hierarchy of needs to talk them

out of killing people. brian this is complete insanity. brian: yes. dan bongino again right on the money and add to that too, did anyone check with the social workers? they don't get paid enough and do extraordinary work on a daily basis and now go into hostage situations or domestic dispute? fantastic. i don't know what the heck is going on. everyone is for some type of reform but not this , to defund, make them do more for less. meanwhile today president trump is set to hold a round table with law enforcement officials as ainsley mentioned comes after a weekend of protests in our nations capitol. mark meredith is live as democrats are sweeping police reform bill. hey, mark. >> brian good morning to you. we did see plenty of protesters out here all weekend long things remain mostly peaceful only sign left behind are really the signs themselves located along lafayette park. the national guard said sunday it's withdrawing most of its troops out of d.c. so most of

the attention today will move from lafayette park up to capitol hill where democrats will be introducing legislation that tackles several different issues when it comes to police reform including changing the statutes on policeman's conduct creating a national police misconduct registry ending no-knock warrants and a potential ban on chokeholds. >> it's time for police culture in many departments to change and we believe that the legislation will make a major step forward in that direction. >> we do expect it's possible that george floyd's brother may testify later on this week before the house judiciary committee and lawmakers will hold a 8 minute 45 second moment of silence in honor of george floyd but republicans are pushing back against one idea popping up, defunding police departments. >> what a ridiculous idea. it's not an idea whose time has come. it should never come. the absolute nation requires law

and order. reporter: we may get president trump's thoughts on this later on today, he's holding a round table with state and federal law enforcement officers closed to the public but could be open up to the press later on today and there's also an on dashcam rail entitlement press briefing this afternoon. steve, ainsley and brian back to you guys. steve: all right, mark meredith thank you very much it be nice if they open it up to the press because i think we would all like to see what the president is calling in has to say about reform. 8:11 on the east coast. jillian: good morning we begin with a fox news alert, the driver plowing his car into a crowd of protesters in seattle >> [chanting] jillian: the driver shooting a protester who stopped the car

using a metal barricade tried running off after getting punch ed in the face but was caught a short time later. the protester was shot in the arm but will be okay. he says he was just trying to protect everyone. >> joe biden's search for a vice president changing course amid the george floyd protest. sources telling politico atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms is now a top contender both african americans reportedly vetted for the role and tasked by the biden campaign to act as surrogates amid the unrest nationwide and at least 15 contenders rumored to be on biden's vp list. >> the nypd sargent struck by a car in the bronx is out of the hospital. sargent william mayor proceeding a standing ovation from his brothers and sisters in blue as he walks out. he was responding to looting and rioting during the protests last week when he was hit in an intersection you can see it right there two suspects were arrested in south carolina.

>> the steelers running jack james conor is known for his tough running on the field but he also has a sweet spot for his family. watch this. >> it's yours. look it's brand now. >> this video is so cute, surprising his father glenn with a brand new tuck, his dad's reaction was priceless. this video has been viewed nearly 6 million times on twitter. that's awesome i'll send it back to you. ainsley: that is so great our parents do so much for us so if we can bless them later in life to say thank you, i love that video. >> good story we need that right now. ainsley: still ahead reports on top republicans outing to not support president trump's relationship, but is this really what's best for the party? tammy bruce is on deck. i've lost count of how many asthma attacks i've had.

i've been on and off oral steroids to manage my asthma. does that sound normal to you? it's time for a nunormal with nucala. my nunormal: fewer asthma attacks. my nunormal: less oral steroids. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. it targets and reduces eosinophils, a key cause of severe asthma. nucala is proven to help prevent severe asthma attacks and reduce the need for oral steroids. nucala is not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away if you have swelling of your face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop your corticosteroid medications unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. common side effects include headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your doctor about taking nucala at home. learn about financial assistance at nucala.com. find your nunormal with nucala.

>> i very close to joe biden on a social matter and on a political matter. i worked with him for 35-40 years and he is now the candidate and i will be voting for him. steve: that was former secretary of state colin powell giving his endorsement to joe biden. this as the new york times claims prominent republicans including former president george bush, senator mitt romney and cindy mccain will not be backing president trump's re-election, but is this really what's best for the party? here with reaction is fox news contributor, tammy bruce. tammy, you know, looking at the new york times, their coverage on the op-ed page and also in

the news coverage, for the most part over the last couple of months has been, you know, people be crazy to vote for donald trump and now look, here is even proof even top republicans aren't going to vote for him as well. does this surprise you? >> well no, i mean, this is of course the swamp and really, is it really about what's best for the party or what's best for the country? this confirms what we did in 2016. we suspected that major leaders on both sides of the aisle didn't care about the average american, didn't care about the things that effect our future, or our lives. look,colin powell hasn't voted for a republican since 2004 what's it been 16 years? and look romney and bush who i think are decent men. the fact of the matter is they're products of this swamp environment and there's only one endorsement that really matters and that's president trump's endorsement. we saw that what the establishment was doing in 2016 did not stop donald trump

but mostly, this is an insult. again, for the american people. we're looking at what trump did in three years and look they are embarrassed. he did what they are able to do in all that time. it's a shame but it confirms the importance of the election of donald trump but it also, steve shows you that this binary choice, the republicans versus democrats, that that's what's going on here, is gone. this is about americanism versus globalism, what's best for the american family versus what's best for the political ruling elite class, and that's the other reason why trump is hated because he's not of them, he doesn't care what they think, he cares what we think, and we see that in his policy and his approach. steve: and you know to your point right there, tammy, for the most part those republicans prominent republicans who have cop out and said no, not going to vote for donald trump, you know, three years ago, they would call

those people anti-trumpers and the problem the anti-trumpers and the conservative mainstream has been that he's a disruption and they didn't like that and to your earlier point about the status quo. >> well it is but also when we look at the embracement of joe biden at least in 16 they weren't saying outloud they were going to vote for hillary but now they are saying outloud some of them are going to vote for joe biden. mitt romney saying he might write in his wife's name again but they are saying they will vote for a man who represents the policy framework and an attitude that has made minneapolis look like a war zone , that is effectively declared war on the police of this nation which means on law and order. they know that that's what he represents. they know that that is the crowd that now has taken over that party and they know that joe biden is not someone whose in control of what that message is. they are willing to throw us

effectively into a war environment here at home after pushing us into mr. bush's case, two unending wars, creating the worst recession since the great depression and they want us to go back to what they were doing to us? the message in november, it's clearly important that november is coming up and we'll have our voice then as well. steve: well despite the reporting by the new york times, george w. bush's spokesperson says he has not yet figured out who he's going to vote for in november. tammy bruce thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you, sir. steve: all right, indeed. 8:22 in the east as the push to reform police departments grows nationwide our top story a new op-ed argues we should bust the police unions to remove bad cops. is that a good idea? jack brewer here with that discussion, coming up, next.

ainsley: we're back with extreme weather overnight,cristobal downgraded to a tropical depression pushing its way across louisiana packing strong winds and rain sparking several reported tornadoes across alabama and florida. alex hogan joins us live from new orleans as the flooding threatens the area. alex?

reporter: ainsley a lot of areas saw just a lot of rain, so that's good news for people who were potentially bracing for worse but areas like this we did see some flooding in parts and of course the storm surge always something to keep in mind but tropical storm cristobal is now downgraded to a tropical depression but at its peak it brought with it independence up to 50 miles an hour, rain up to 12 inches as it moves along parts of louisiana. in mississippi strong waves crashed over a lighthouse in biloxi but also swamped neighborhoods with water at least a foot and a half deep. the storm surge waters and flooding caused dangerous road conditions and in orlando, florida a tornado touched down and there's no reports of injuries at this point but it did leave behind damage. the storm also caused mudslides in mexico because of flooding. here in louisiana, president trump issued an emergency declaration for the state. the governor asked residents to watch the storm condition saying he knows that people here have weathered plenty.

president trump: they are a resilient city. things happen to us and we tend to bounce back maybe better than some other places because we're just kind of used to it. >> well first of all you make sure you have enough staples and you lower the temperature in your refrigerator and if it's really bad you pack up and leave reporter: so yes, people say they're glad that it simply turned out to be a lot of rain at least right here but as that storm moves north there's still warnings for possible flooding, something to keep in mind as that storm moves through arkansas and then missouri tomorrow. ainsley? ainsley: thank you so much, alex brian over to you. brian: all right, thanks, ainsley as americans demand change in the wake of george floyd's death a wall street journal op-ed we thought we noteworthy in order to get rid of bad cops is time to bust the police unions, officials need the ability to fire low performing officers and reward ones who go above and beyond so is that a real solution the beginning of real positive

reform? here to discuss is jack brewer spokesperson for the national association of police athletics league and ceo of the brewer group. jack always good to see you you've been a voice of reason through this entire process. i've got to ask you some of the things i've been hearing about and what i just read in the wall street journal is these things you like to see fulfilled >> i do. do you know what? law and order is needed, but law and order has to also apply to police officers and i think the nation agrees with that. none of us like to see a bad cop just get away with murder. i think the real issue here the reason why you see so many folks protesting is it just takes so much time to put a cop in jail and to hold them according to the law and once you do when people see a cop that blatantly kills someone and they're given leave and paid leave i think that upsets people but the way you police is through community policing so i do agree with that and i do think that a lot of times our

police unions have too much authority, because really, they're the ones behind the scenes pushing for these police officers to continue to get paid leave and to not actually go to trial right away, so i mean, you've got to break up some of that power, reform the police department, but you definitely can't abolish them. brian: abolishing, defunding that's what they are talking about doing in minneapolis. having these cops do more for less you know what that's like. can you imagine starting the football season and say we want you to reform come in first and we'll pay you less money, fantastic. >> yeah, it's ridiculous. let's think about this. most of the people you hear talking none of them are brave enough to go out there and protect and serve the american people every day. you're talking about people who are too cowardly to do the job that they're actually trying to get rid of. it's just not right and at the end of the day it's not biblical , man. we have to be a nation undergod and we have to do what's right. i mean romans 3 and 31 tells us

to uphold the law. you can't have a lawless nation. you know it's really scary and what people don't talk about enough is the fact that the folks that are going to be the most disadvantaged are the inner cities in places that people are more underserved and don't have the resources because that's where a lot of crime happens and so can you imagine being a single mom, raising a family and not having the police to be able to call if something goes on in your neighborhood? that's just not right. the elderly people, someone that can't protect themselves? some folks can't afford a gun or a way to protect their own home that's just not right and i think we need to start standing up for the underserved because i mean, these liberal policies and these philosophies to get rid of our law enforcement is really hurting our nation and it's dividing our nation. brian: and jack now that we hope the looting has stopped,

the violence has stopped we can get a dialogue together to make this time different so everyone feels as though we're making progress or we've got to the finish line but i think that's why i'm so encouraged over the last few days we can have cool heads prevail and we work towards something jointly, not republican or democrat and guys like you have to be involved in it. jack thanks so much. >> thank you so much. this is the time to come together. we can't, oppression can't be politicized. brian: absolutely thank you so much meanwhile the new york times opinion editor is stepping down at this hour amid the outrage over senator tom cotton's op-ed. can you believe it? but the senator's fight with the times is not over. he'll expand on that, next.

brian: market futures are up

this morning after a better-than-expected may jobs report. now a new coronavirus relief package is in the works still. steve: what would that look like edward lawrence from our sister network fox business joins us live with the next steps. edward? reporter: yeah, you know, and you've heard the president as close as you can get to saying "mission accomplished" when it comes to the economy, it's a rocket ship straight up. now the unemployment numbers are still bad looking at 13.3%, but the expectations were much much worse when you talk about actually adding 2.5 million jobs to the economy, the white house sees a huge ray of sunshine after the storm. >> this was a sharp, tough, heartbreaking pandemic contraction. it's not a typical economic contraction. it was like a bad hurricane or a bad snowstorm, but there's a lot of heartache in that and a lot of hardship in that

absolutely but they are sharp and fast and they recover fast, and we are beginning to see this rapid recovery. reporter: and white house economic advisor larry kudlow says the next round of stimulus will not started to be negotiated until after the july 4 weekend letting what's out there settle in and house speaker nancy pelosi says it's actually congress is the reason for these economic turnaround and in a statement she says the may jobs report shows despite action by congress and workers can make a strong difference in our economy and now is the worst possible moment to take the foot off the gas. both sides want another stimulus package. the house speaker would like to see expanding the food stamp program, direct payments to states, also direct payments to americans, and the president would like to see payroll tax deferrals as well as some sort of tax deduction help for businesses and entertainment to spark that side of the economy. you know this is coming down along ideology, so we'll have to see how those negotiations go in july. back to you.

ainsley: we'll be watching thanks so much edward. let's bring in arkansas gop senator tom cotton, member of the senate joint economic committee good morning to you, senator. >> good morning, ainsley good to be on with you. ainsley: good morning we always love having you on we'll talk about the new york times thing in just a minute but i want to piggyback on what our reporter was just saying what does the new stimulus plan look like what do republicans want, what do you want and what do you support? >> well, ainsley first off, i just want to say we had a great jobs report on friday. the most jobs ever added in one month, and of course there are still millions of americans out of work, but the report we saw on friday defied expectations of so many experts that shows why we ought to continue to see how the cares act works throughout the month of july and where things stand in about a month. hopefully most states and cities will be open back up especially some of the states with the severe lockdown measures when we had tens of thousands of people protesting in the streets , i don't think we're going to be able to maintain the

severe lockdowns that some of the cities and states have had which means more and more people should be able to get back to work but if we do need another relief package that's focused like a laser on workers and families and businesses and schools, so all of them can get back to something like normal as quickly as possible. brian: with the kennedy center might need more money and that has me worried i'm having trouble sleeping knowing they might run out of the free money we gave them and it was such an emergency. senator unbelievable you're a grad of the infantry goes to congress and now becomes a senator and you did this unbelievable thing, writing an op-ed saying there might be a role for the troops in creating some type of calm in the chaos and unrest that was happening, so you wrote this editorial, the new york times publishes it, and everyone at the new york times seems to have lost their mind about it and started protesting the existence of this column. the reaction has been james

bennett, the editorial page editor has resigned. what's your reaction to the reaction to your column? >> i know, brian it's amazing. it all started on this program just a week ago after the violence and looting that we saw in washington d.c., where a famous church was torched and businesses were looted, i saw on your program last month that the national guard needs to be called in and if they can't back up police sufficiently to stop this anarchy on our streets then the insurrection act provides the president with the final support he needs. more national guard was called in through monday, tuesday, wednesday, last week and that was not necessary but the new york times asked me to explain in further detail that exact point i made and the publisher defend that decision to publish that column after it was publish ed and the mob and their news room began to demand it be taken down and there will be

consequences and within a day it turned into something like a struggle session from the cultural revolution in china where the adults had to apologize for those who apparently run the new york times news room and now the opinion page editor had to resign so let's be clear this all goes back to the publisher and his unwillingness to stand up to a bunch of 20 and 30-year-olds who were raised on social justice seminars on our campuses. they need to behave like grown- ups not like children, who are confronted with an opinion that they don't like. brian: well what you just said is astounding. the new york times asked you to write the op-ed and you did and they published it and then the epidemic ed page editor said do you know what, i didn't even read it, so it's just kind of crazy, and now that they've taken it down and apologized and people have been let go, what does it say about getting both sides of a story in the new york times? >> well don't expect to see

both sides of the story in the new york times and in fact they said last week they are going to reduce the number of opinion pieces they run so i'll say in advance of the world you're welcome for reducing the amount of left wing nonsense that you have to read in the new york times editorial pages and just look at the woman they appointed on an acting basis to take over that page a far left radical who will throw in with, not stand up to, the woke mob of children at the new york times who get triggered any time they hear a conservative opinion. ainsley: senator great to always hear from you thanks so much for coming on. >> thank you all. ainsley: you're welcome jillian is back in the studio with more headlines jillian? jillian: good morning and we begin with this the department of justice is demanding england 's prince andrew over his ties to jeffrey epstein. according to reports federal prosecutors put in a formal request to the british government. prince andrew has denied having sexual relations with a woman trafficked by epstein after she claims they did. >> new york city is entering phase i of reopening today.

retail will be limited curbside, in-store or drop-off. construction, manufacturing, and wholesale trade are among the services restarting. 95% of full subway service will also resume. and seven other states lifting restrictions that includes delaware where hair salons, barber shops and tatoo parlors can we open at 30% capacity and restaurants are reopening in massachusetts and michigan. meanwhile, new data shows the coronavirus might have hit china as early as the fall according to abc news. the harvard medical school study examining satellite images cit ing a surge of car traffic at wuhan hospitals in october. >> a ban on kneeling during the national security could be lifted for american soccer players and the u.s. soccer federation will reportedly meet tomorrow to discuss this idea. the policy was added in 2017 after megan rapino kneeled before games in 2016. the federation could vote on the repeal as soon as friday and if approved the ban be lifted

immediately. >> now to some trending stories on fox news.com. first up a german official is calling president trump's reported plan plan plan to pull 9,500 u.s. troops out of the country and the wall street journal reporting the move would cut u.s. military presence in the region by nearly 30% and next congresswoman primary challenger has fans, trump supporters and michelle caruso cabrera has received $20,000 from known gop donors and finally a treasure chest filled with golden jewels worth more than $1 million is found the chest was hidden in the rocky mountains over a decade ago by an art dealing to try and get people to enjoy the outdoors , for these stories download the fox news app i was just thinking man i'd like to find a buried treasure. ainsley: [laughter] wouldn't we all. thanks so much jillian.

brian: that's a good documentary. meanwhile let's go over to janice dean tracking a tropical depression, storm? >> janice: yes, so we are cristobal make landfall a loss louisiana and this is the third tropical storm already and we just started the season,dolly will be the next named storm and june 1 was the beginning of hurricane season, as you can see we've got several months ahead and we are indicating a very busy season, so cristobal made landfall across louisiana, but the potential for severe weather and flooding over portions of the mississippi valley, the tennessee river valley, the ohio valley all the way up towards the great lakes and even though the storm is a depression and it's weakening, as it interacts with a cold front, in the next 12-24 hours it's actually going to strengthen again, as very strong low pressure over the great lakes and the upper midwest with wind gusts in excess of 40 even 50 miles per hour, and the heavy

rainfall has prompted quite a bit of flooding over parts of the gulf coast states up towards arkansas and towards tennessee, kentucky, and then up towards the midwest and the great lakes. so we're going to be watching the remnants of this storm not only today, but for the next several days as it lifts up towards the northern plains, the upper midwest, and the great lakes. other big stories we're watching today that cold front i mentioned bringing snow, snow to the northern rockies, and very gusty winds across the southwest hassle estraighted fire concerns steve, ainsley, brian back to you. steve: a little something for every different part of the country today. weather wise, j. d., thank you. 12 minutes now before the top of the hour. as protests grow across the country our next guest is calling on the church to take action. pastor tony evans joins us live on that am coming up next. but first, a preview of coming attractions here, ladies and

ainsley: amid the national unrest our next guest is call o ing on the church to help unify our country and here with his message is senior pastor at oak cliff bible fellowship in dallas and author of "stronger together , weaker apart" pastor tony evans good morning to you, pastor. >> good morning, good morning, good morning to you. ainsley: good to always have you here. we need to hear from you the majority of americans believe in a god, and how can we use his teachings to heal our country? >> first of all we have to understand that the root of the

problem, second chronicles 15 says because they had been a spiritual departure there was no peace in the land, and then it says inverse 6 for god troubled them with every kind of distress so we're starting in the wrong place and you see if god is your problem, it doesn't matter what programs you put in place, all that becomes secondary because if god is your problem, only god is your solution, and that means it has to be spiritually driven first, on the issues of riotous ness and justice, and if it wasn't for the failure of the church in particular the evangelical church that supported practically and theo logically a division that should not have taken place , we wouldn't seen have this problem so since the church helped cause it, the church needs to be in front fixing it. god is not going to skip the church house to fix the white house and i know we're all in this political season, but unless the body of christ, those who take god seriously,

the lordship of jesus christ seriously and the scripture seriously,psalm says from god's throne comes riotousness and justice so you don't see saw between the two, the life of the unborn in the womb but we have to be just to the life once born to the tomb and you don't see it back and fourth, these are siamese twins that walk side by side linked up at the hip so there's a three-point process we're challenging churches to do. number one we need a national assembly that's a sacred gathering to invite god back into the culture, because there's things marginalized, you won't be able to solve this. secondly of all, we need christians to be public christians not private saints. this is not christianity, that's one of the reasons god allowed the pandemic. he's allowed the health pandemic to get us out of the church house, so that we can go public with our faith and not be secret christians and then thirdly, we

must be unified in good woks. people must see us adopting schools adopting police station, adopting nursing homes and doing it collectively, when god sees you and according to john 17, we'll get his attention and when we get his attention he'll get back involved and when he gets back involved there will be healing in our land until the church steps up nothing will work it's only a band aid. ainsley: dr. evans you're wonderful we watch you on tv all the time your daughter has released 70 bible studies and a lot of my friends profited and benefited from her teachings so you did a great job as a dadas well. >> thank you. ainsley: it's 8:55 on the east coast. more fox & friends moments away. i've lost count of how many asthma attacks i've had. i've been on and off oral steroids to manage my asthma. does that sound normal to you? it's time for a nunormal with nucala. my nunormal: fewer asthma attacks.

>> i'm excited to announce the light within me is now out on paperback. it's not as expensive as a hardback. it's a story of my faith and how god changed my life is not about being perfect, is about loving others without fear of what's going to happen in the future, god is proved to me over and over again. and there's a new chapter in their two. >> i know but you put more in at this time, right? >> a whole new chapter about

giving some examples and i hope i can help others find god and find christ and they can walk for this life a little easier because of their faith. we all need it right now. >> these are challenging times. >> sandra: thank you for that. a fox news alert, thousands of people taking to the streets oveover the weekend demanding racial justice and systemic change. that's called to defund the police become a rallying cry in cities across america. good morning, everyone. i'm sandra smith. >> ed: new york city starts to reopen greatest city leaders under pressure to live address policing issues in their communities. minneapolis mayor jacob frey right there saying shame at a rally this weekend after he refused to commit to abolishing for that city p
