jillian: it does sound good. rob: if you want to have fun today pull up your 401(k). you might find it looks a lot like it did back in january. isn't that unbelievable? jillian: good news. rob: that's it for us. jillian: "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> they're is not going to be any disbanding of our police. our police have been letting us live in peace. we want to make sure we don't have any bad actors in there and sometimes you will see some horrible things like we witnessed recently. but 99 -- i say 99.9. let gopsz with 99% of them are great, great people. jillian: the president standing behind our men and women in blue as calls to ban or defund our police department. standing outside of mayor de blasio's home calling on him to
3:01 am
resign. brian: yeah, poor weird reasons. he announced a cut in funding for new york's finest. the crowds say that's not enough. overnight protesters also lining up outside the home of san diego mayor kevin faulkner. [chanting] [shame on you. shame on you. shame on you. brian: folks there furious after an effort to defund the police failed. the city council actually inincreased its police budget. mayor de blasio is in trouble because he decreased this guy is in trouble because he increased. your witness. steve: that's just where we are right now, bribe. meanwhile, in minneapolis, the police department was just hit with a court order one day after the city council voted to dismantle the police department. the order demands police implement several new measures to prevent police violence and
3:02 am
that's where we start on this tuesday, june 9th with matt finn live on the streets of minneapolis. matt, good morning. >> good morning. the court here officially approved new forms on the minneapolis police department predicting the use of choke holds and also requiring officers to report choke holds among other new reforms. and also here in minneapolis yesterday the former police officer derek chauvin made his first court appearance via video. his bail now ate at at least $1 million. chauvin is set with three counts of murder in the death of george floyd. he did not enter a plea. so far the former officer's attorney has not indicated whether chauvin will post bond. and in houston, texas yesterday, a public memorial was held for george floyd. thousands attended including celebrities and high ranking politicians. former vice president joe biden met with the floyd family as well. and minneapolis city council members now say they have a veto-proof majority and are
3:03 am
moving forward with the abolishing the minneapolis police department. there is a lot of questions about whether it will happen and what it will look like. even the mayor says he is not supporting it. watch this interview in which the minneapolis city council president says calling 911 in a potentially life-threatening situation comes from a place of privilege. >> what if in the middle of the night my home is broken into? who do i call? >> i hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors. and i know and myself, too. and i know that comes from a place of privilege because for those of us for whom the system is working, i think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality where calling the police may mean more harm then. >> and the minneapolis mayor anowrntion add new coalition to rebuild after all the violent riots and looting here and more than 500 businesses were damaged or looted across the twin
3:04 am
cities. back to you guys. ainsley: all right. thank you so much, matt. yesterday the president as we were telling you yesterday morning he was going to sit down with law enforcement for that round table discussion on how we can improve police relationships and reform. he had a lot of law enforcement officials there. >> some national law enforcement officials. some a.g.s. he also had local police there as well. and he said no to defunding. no to dismantl dismantling and o disbanding. listen. >> we can't give up the will finest lawmplet anywhere in the world there is nothing like it. we won't be defunding or dismantling our police. we won't be ending our police force in a city, you might have some cities who want to try. but it's going to be very sad situation if they did because people aren't going to be protected. >> brian, steve, mitch
3:05 am
mcconnell was asked about it i'm all for social workers and mental health i'm old fashioned you may want a police officer to stop a criminal and arrest him before we try to work through his feelings. brian? brian: and ainsley, i think it's great he meets with law enforcement because they are under fire now i also would love to see the president meet with african-american leaders or people of color. leadership and talk about what their side of the story is because both sides want to come to a better understanding. we fund something ridiculous. ignoring what's going on among the african-american community and not hearing what they have to say is also farcical. that is not where we are at right now. let's make progress, not talk at each other, let's talk to each other. joe biden would not answer his folks -- his folks would not answer whether he did support defunding the police yesterday. but then when he sat down for an interview after meeting with george floyd's family said. this. >> i don't support defunding the
3:06 am
police. i support conditioning federal aid to police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness and in fact are able to demonstrate they can protect the community and everybody in the community. brian: as "the washington post" writes today the problem with joe biden trying to be joe biden in 2020 is he is the same joe biden for the last 30, 40 years, many of which know he took a leadership role in writing the crime bill in 1984. he said, this quote: it doesn't matter there was a of youth. doesn't matter they had a background and enabled them to become socialized in the fabric of society. doesn't matter whether or not they were victims of society. the end results is if they harm his family, i don't want to ask what made them do it. they must be taken off the street. so, that's the attitude that has african-americans in 2020, in the inner city enraged saying
3:07 am
they never got a fair shot. they were incarcerated in massive numbers. he is behind that so either walk back the 1994 joe biden and tell us and what in between and not just be a politician looking to get elected. steve. steve: well, you know what, brian, you said two things in that last sentence are certainly appropriate to consider and that is politicians and 2020 because this is an election year. and when you look -- even in minnesota, when you look at the political dynamics and it's spelled out today in the star tribune up in minneapolis, it talks about how hanging in the balance, outside of minneapolis, not too many people are necessarily for this. it talks about how the religions lay temperature is going to hang in the balance with the elections, one u.s. senate seat and four congressional seats are up for grabs as well this november. they say the republicans see
3:08 am
this as a wedge issue they are going to come out on the side of law and order whereas democrats see change in attitude that they say cannot be ignored. this is a moment in time and there is a movement going on. so what happens from here during an election year? last night tucker had on one of the commissioners for the u.s. commission on civil rights and had this observation about what's going on in the country right now. >> if black lives truly matter fund the police. reform the policemen who are bad and there are bad apples everywhere, okay? there is a few here, a few there. of course that's going to happen in a nation of 330 million. all of what we are witnessing right now, some in positions of power for political expediency and opportunism have been expanding on a false narrative that blacks are being disproportionately targeted by cops. the data has been clear for a long time. the i'm the longest serving member on the civil rights commission. i have been mayorating in this
3:09 am
data for a long time when it comes to congresswoman ilhan omar who does represent portions of minneapolis. she supports the defund the police effort you look at what democrats across the board did in congress yesterday, they released their justifiable in policing act which would do, among other things, limit the legal protections for police. it would establish a national data base of excessive force incidents and it would band choke holds. here's the thing. it was brought up by democrats, ainsley and at this point, it's uncertain whether or not it could pass the house. ainsley: that's right. bill barr sat down with brett baier yesterday, and was asking about these coordinated attacks in new york city and some of these cities where businesses have been broken into as a result of just the mayhem and
3:10 am
everyone so riled up about what happened to george floyd, of course. so, there have been so many coordinated attacks he was talking about because we heard these stories of bricks. like big batches of bricks being dropped off or people hiding bricks under certain trash cans. and word spreads go to though trash can and grab a brick and throw it through someone's window. brett was asking whether or not there are coordinated. he says there is a witches brew of extremist groups that could be involved. listen to this. >> it's a very loosely organized group. and they have sort of a unique or unusual sn system of organization. there appear to be sources of funding. we are looking into the source us of funding. there is clearly some, you know, high degree of organization involved at some of these events. and coordinated tactics that we are seeing and we are looking into that as well. and some of it relates to
3:11 am
antifa. some of it relates to groups that act very much like antifa. as i said there is a witches brew of extremist groups that are trying to exploit this situation on all sides. brian: my hope would be that we are going to be debriefing enough of these people in new york for example ridiculous bail rules. only have them for a few hours. find out who put them there if anybody. what their actions were and get some answers. one thing i think is so true and people i talked, to reuters and axios did a poll. 73% of americans support the peaceful protests. 79% believe the lawlessness and destruction undermine the case for justifiable. i thought when george floyd was killed, we were going to be talking about racial equality in this country and george floyd's life. we could not even get to that because our first four stories were all about the massive destruction on the biggest cities at an inopportune time
3:12 am
and how our police were being overwhelmed across the country. people looking around and saying what is the message again. if you look at seattle and look at new york, we are not past the violence stage either as seattle yesterday they gave up a police station not to destruction but they thought it would be to deescalate things because the crowds would not disperse, steve. steve: yeah. you know. these protests and relook at the looting there in some of that video. these things were happening just as some cities and localities were coming off the coronavirus, super restrictions. one of the other things that bill barr said to bret last night was he was talking about how some localities went too far they were able to protest but not go to church.
3:13 am
also the attorney general defended the decision to clear lafayette park and he also revealed that the secret service told the president to go to the bunker under the white house because things were so bad the attorney general said we can't have that in our country. a lot going on with that interview. ainsley: he said rocks were thrown at him. brian: exactly. he has made it clear in the past that apparently the order to clear the park and set the perimeter back one block was made in the early afternoon. and we had heard last week that apparently, you know, it wasn't until they -- things really started reigning down that they decided to move the perimeter back and as it turns out, just about that same time the president came out. and so a lot of people are wondering about the timing. but you know that anyway, so we have got a busy tuesday morning. thank you very much for joining us. jillian is back in our world headquarters with the headlines on this june 9th. jillian: that's right.
3:14 am
good morning. we begin with this. four u.s. service members are hurt after their aircraft overshot a runway at a base in iraq. the c 130 hercules slamming into a wall and sparking a fire. it happened during a night landing at air base north of baghdad. 33 people were on board. a man accused of helping burn down a minneapolis police precinct is making first court appearance today. prosecutors say brandon wolf admitted to throwing a wooden barrel into the flames. when police tracked him down he was wearing gear from the precinct including body armor and duty army handcuffs and knife. first personal charged in connection with that fire. the world health organization seems to reverse course on how coronavirus is spread. it now says the spread by asymptomatic patients is very rare. the organization said its initial assumption that asymptomatic people were equally contagious as those with systems. the cd sent out similar
3:15 am
warnings. those concerns launched a worldwide lockdown. rather interesting development, guys. ainsley: yes it is. brian: yeah, i would say so. ainsley: 15 minutes after the top of the hour. house democrats unveiling sweeping plans for police reform. will? i of them actually work. former nypd lieutenant doctor darrin porcher says it's not a real solution. and is he going to join us next to tell us why. everyday you're eating acidic foods;

3:19 am
- communities of color have always been underrepresented in the u.s. census. that means less federal funding for schools, hospitals, libraries, and other public services for diverse communities and less representation in congress. this year, it's critical that you participate in the 2020 census. it's safe and confidential. let's make sure everyone is counted in our community. for more information, visit getcounted.com, and to participate, go to census.gov. >> today with the justice and policing act the congress can standing with those fighting for justice and taking action. steve: well, democrats in congress yesterday unveiling sweeping legislation to reform
3:20 am
policing policies in the united states. the bill would weaken qualified immunity, ban choke holds. mandate training on racial bias and set up a registry to log police misconduct. here with his thoughts former new york city police department lieutenant dr. darryl porcher. doctor, good morning to you. what do you make of the fact that the democrats, you know, they know that this is a moment in the united states where something feels like it has to be done. do you think this is the right thing? >> i applaud the fact that any politician is willing to partake in police reforms. however, unfortunately, these are reactive measures. we need proactive measures that need to be introduced to the table. when i say proactive measures meaning one of the first components is we want to engage that policing community relationship, develop a discourse that runs consistent. how do we do that? one of the things the funding
3:21 am
can provide in these types of situations is we can allow for a greater outside assistance. when i say greater outside assistance such as having psychologists, experts with a community relations. have these people sit down and partake in a discourse that can move things forward because when we look at riotous behavior and protest. this is a symptom of a much greater problem. the much greater problem is the forth both of these entities to communicate. weave need to bring in those outside entities. i believe that congress has missed the ball as a result as to what they are looking to introduce with this new bill. steve: sure when you look at the standard bearer for the democrats joe biden he came out yesterday and said i'm opposed to defunding. he would like to withhold the amount of money police departments get to standards. you have to follow standards if you want to get the money. why is joe biden saying defund something a bad idea but there
3:22 am
are a number of other democrats who are saying oh, this is the way to go? >> well, you also have to understand based on this being an election year joe biden is going to go with a certain tide. it's interesting for me to hear joe biden speak to this considering he was one of the primary sponsors of the crime bill back in the 1990s. i think it's important for us to bring politicians in to the focus or into the circle, so to speak, of the conversation, but politicians need to present a sound, plausible alternative to what we are seeing now. this is a situation that we're going to get through. we need smart people at the table. so when we think about where the democrats and biden is coming from, i don't believe a solution is being introduced. this is more hyperbole than anything it. goes back to what i stated earlier. we need smart people at the table to arrange solutions from a proactive not reactive. ultimately police are our first
3:23 am
line of defense in our communities and we want to make sure both sides both the police and the community are communicating accordingly as opposed to what's happening now. steve: doctor, you just mentioned crime. when you look at the amount of crime in new york city last week during the protest and rioting and looting that happened in some instances, there was a lot more of it for the week of june 7th a year other year. 13 homicides in 2020 versus 5 in 2019. 40 shootings in 2020 versus 24 in 2019. what's going on? >> i think there is a break down in the commands structure starts with city hall. the commissioner wants to do the right thing. i think he has a sound strategy that has shown success over the course of time however, unfortunately, we have a mayor that's looking to get involved in a process that he has no
3:24 am
understanding of. the police know how to reduce crime. statistically this has been shown as a proven fact. therefore we need the mayor to step out of equation and let the police department move forward with a strategy that's plausible in keeping new yorkers safe. steve: all right. dr. darrin porcher thank you for joining us on this june 9th. >> thank you, steve. steve: always a pleasure. we talked about the impact of lockdowns on businesses. our next guest says kids are paying too big a price. her message for the people in charge coming up next. an honorm to help you out.
3:25 am

brian: all right. george floyd will be laid to rest in houston, texas. thousands of mourners lining up outside the church during its visitation to pay their respects. casey stegall joins us live from houston as reverend al sharpton expected to deliver the eulogy again. right, casey? >> yeah. that's right, brian. you know, a long list of dignitaries are expected to be in attendance today. some of them will be speaking, as you said. sharpton will be giving the eulogy. we're also going to see a vaped messagvideotaped message from je biden. there were rumors he might actually be at the service in person today. that's not the case. did he meet privately with the family yesterday in houston as more than 8,000 people or so from the community showed up
3:29 am
here to the fountain of praise church in houston to pay their respects to george floyd and his family. wearing masks and gloves. mourners filed by the open casket. many praying, shedding tears. some drove from states away. most had never even met george floyd. a man who has now become a symbol of racial injustifiable in america and floyd's brother simply overwhelmed by the outpouring of support. >> if he was told he would have to sacrifice his life to bring the world together and not knowing him, i know he would have did it. >> today's mobile newsroom service is not open to the public. though it will be televised. organizers say it should last a little more than three hours and starts at 11:00 local time. that is noon eastern and once it concludes, george floyd will be laid to rest next to his birth mother in a private burial ceremony at the houston memorial gardens. the funeral procession is about
3:30 am
12 miles or so from the church where we are now. and the route has been published. so, thousands of people are expected to line the streets to say their final goodbyes. brian? brian: all right. casey, thanks so much. i appreciate it. that's the latest from texas. now to new york. ainsley: restrictions are beginning to ease the coronavirus lockdowns have had a noticeable impact on americans especially our children. survey conducted during the height of stay-at-home orders found that many children are feeling worried, anxious and stressed. our next guest says that leaders are ignoring the high price kids are paying for coronavirus lockdowns. here with more is "new york post" columnist carol mark wits. hey, carol. >> hi. thanks for having me. ainsley: you are welcome. i read your op-ed. tell me what you found in your research. >> well, we are just not taking the needs of kids anywhere near seriously enough. as the pandemic has wound on, i think they have gone completely
3:31 am
by the wayside. we have been told that we should be following the science but we haven't been following the science whatsoever especially where kids are concerned. one thing i point out in my column is the cdc two weeks ago said that it's very hard to get coronavirus from surfaces. yet playgrounds remain closed. we have heard study after study that the coronavirus is very difficult to get in chlorine water, yet, pools remain closed. very few plans to open schools so far even in the fall. it's really a concern because kids are not getting what they need right now and no one seems to be worried about that. ainsley: what age group are you finding that most of the children with the depression or anxiety are a part of? >> well, a lot of the numbers i looked at had young kids really not understanding what happened. they had their whole world turned upside down and it's really hard to convey to them. i have a 4-year-old young child also really hard to explain what we're doing.
3:32 am
he saw people wearing masks and then we started wearing masks and he wondered why we had to copy them. it's hard to explain to young children. but all kids sort of are having the same kind of issues. ainsley: how should city officials respond to this? >> for one thing it's a pretty easy fix in a lot of cases at least for the summer. open the playgrounds. open the schools. the ball courts. the green spaces. in new york we have done crazy things like close turf fields but open up streets alongside those turf fields. let's have -- especially now that we are in this thing for a while and kind of understand what's happening. let's use science. let's let kids go in the pools because that's okay. let's let them use playgrounds. let's give them a childhood. ainsley: let's get back to school in the fall please if we have to do one more zoom we're sick of it and the kids are, too. you write here the kids are
3:33 am
resilient. oh they are resilient. you feel like parents feel they have been lied to, why? >> one thing i point out in the column is kids with special needs haven't gotten what they need at all. we can say kids are resilient but a lot of kids need more. governor cuomo only on friday approved one-on-one instruction for kids with special needs. they need serious help and they are really just being ignored. yes. kids are resilient but we can't pretend that nothing is going to happen to them and nothing is happening to a lot of kids that need extra. occupational therapies are not getting, the physical therapies. speech therapies. these are all going to have a major effect on a lot of kids. ainsley: i was talking to a friend yesterday she has three little kids and she said my kids, she is so nervous that they are going to get something. no play dates. they have been locked up in the house. she said between the laundry and taking carol of the kids and doing school with them she is just exhausted. hopefully we will get back to normal and no screen time.
3:34 am
we're told the blue screens are bad for our kids. try to keep them aquay from that we are all in difficult situations but hopefully things will come back soon. thank you so much. if you want to read her article it's an op-ed in the "new york post." thanks, karol. calls are growing nationwide to dismantle the police. is it legal? the judge says it's absurd and unlawful and he's 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.
3:35 am
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.

3:37 am
s some companies still have hr stuck between employees and their data. entering data.
3:38 am
changing data. more and more sensitive, personal data. and it doesn't just drag hr down. it drags the entire business down -- with inefficiency, errors and waste. it's ridiculous. so ridiculous. with paycom, employees enter and manage their own data in a single, easy to use software. visit paycom.com, and schedule your demo today. . >> the real task in frame ago government is having a government that is. strong enough to governor but not so strong that it abridges the rights of the people so you have to have power but you also have to have controls on that power. in the case of the government, for example, excessive police force, law and order means that the government is bound by law and people have to be
3:39 am
accountable for abuses their power. brian: do yodo you believe the attorney general has to rationalize why we need a police force because from san diego to minneapolis to new york to los angeles, there is a big push to defund policing in america. let's bring in judge andrew napolitano, he knows the law. he has diplomacy all over his office he shows me every time i walk by. [laughter] judge, what could go wrong let's defund and disband the police force. >> yeah. good morning, brian, steve, and ainsley. what could go wrong. let's start with somebody is breaking in your house and you call 911 and nobody comes because there is no police department. this is a serious overreaction to the tragedy of george floyd's death and the other tragedies that preceded it. most city charters, indianapolis is one. new york is another. are required, the city -- liken the city charter to the
3:40 am
constitution of the city. it is the authority under which the city governs. city charters require the cities to have police departments. so you can't just not have it. you want to give it another name. you want to call it the con stab burglary which is what it was once called in new york 120 years ago you can change the name you want to put restraints on the police from abusing their power of course can you do that you heard from the attorney general there should be those constraints. is he quite right. madison when he wrote the constitution wanted just the right balance between the government strong enough to do its job but not so strong is that it would take the rights away from people as george floyd's right to live was taken away from him but to abolish the police department would harm the most the people calling for its abolition because they would be the most likely to be victims of crime with no redress.
3:41 am
steve: there is a large percentage of city council dismantle it. >> the city charter in minneapolis can only be changed by the voters. let's just say they changed it or let's just say the city council and its veto proof majority just thumbed its nose at the charter, it would be the constitutional obligation of the state of minnesota to come in there and take over the government of minneapolis and provide basic police protection. when the constitution was formed and the states retained to themselves under the tenth amendment, the power to provide for safety expressly safety, it's not only the power to provide for safety, it's the obligation to provide for safety. so, if people wants to make a
3:42 am
political statement in minneapolis, they can make their political statement. but if they actually take cops off the street, it would be the duty of the minneapolis -- of the minnesota legislature to remedy that. ainsley: okay. let's talk about the fbi right now because they are continuing to graham with the fallout from the errors after surveilling or wiretapping carter page. now the fbi wants an audit firm to come in and to review how it makes the fitz wiretap requests. they write this. they posted. this. a robust and exacting audit program will allow the fbi to identify, measurable and remediate any deofficial is is that are detected in the fisa policies, processes it and training all with the goal of continuously strengthening the accuracy and completeness of fisa applications. does that make you feel better about the process to ensure this is done legally? >> it actually makes me feel worse, ainsley. if the fbi can't do its job and it needs an outside corporation
3:43 am
to monitor it. that's a joke they are admitting they can't do their job. look, here is the problem with fisa, she shouldn't be spying on americans. senator rand paul and senator make lee are correct. it's the foreign intelligence surveillance act. it's the foreign intelligence surveillance court. if the fbi wants to see what's in somebody's closet or bank account, go to a judge, like i was when i was sitting and get a search warrant under the fourth amendment. but in terms of spying, keep the spying limited to the foreigners. and if the fbi can't do its job, put a lawyer in the fisa courtroom to challenge the fbi's documents. that will be far more effective than an outside audit firm. brian: but it would slow everything down, judge. and the whole thing would be speed, correct. i know you want justice but the whole thing with justice stop the next terror attack in theory.
3:44 am
>> of course it would slow it down so would their outside auditors slow it down. i was shocked when i saw and i happen to like chris wray and i think he is working very, very diligently under very trying circumstances with a very demanding boss. i speak of the president. but these guys should have nothing to do with spying on americans and it is silly and embarrassing that for the fbi to say that they need an outside audit firm to make sure they follow the law. their job is to investigate violations of the law and now they are telling us that they can't be relied on to follow the law. it's not right and if a president knows about this i don't think he will go along with it. steve: let's see what happens. judge napolitano thank you for joining us you from the red room at your house. good to have you on this tuesday, sir. >> all the best. i miss you guys. i can't wait until we are all together again. i thought it was going to be next week. now it's august. steve: we are just entering phase one in new york yesterday.
3:45 am

3:52 am
brian: for months experts warned asymptomatic carriers could fuel the spread of corona carriers. leading to shut down worldwide. the w.h.o. organization now changing its tune. >> still appears to be rare that an asymptomatic individual actually transmits onward. what we really want to be focused on are its following the
3:53 am
symptomatic cases. brian: really? here to react fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel. dr. siegel, this is maddening. >> good morning, brian. brian: we don't know we could be a carrier. we might not have symptoms. we could be killing somebody and not knowing it. and now this. >> brian, i think that this goes to really important point here. i think lockdowns were based on the idea of asymptomatic spread like you just said that you could spread it without knowing it. and a lot of fear drove that and it led to these extensive lockdowns that led to all kinds of economic devastation. lack of access to medical care. psychological and physical problems. not getting dental care. not getting cancer screening. not getting emergency care. people afraid to go to the er. all of those lockdowns occurred as a result of this. it's starting to look like they were too extreme.
3:54 am
dr. maria von kirk cough indicated they have been checking w.h.o. world health organization various countries showing tracing most spread comes from tom is a particular people people coughing and sneezing on you. do you know what works for that? social distancing, staying away from people who are sick is what does the biggest impact. not the draconian lockdowns. and another thing, when you have these lockdowns, they work best when there isn't a lot of virus already around. a survey from new york city showed that most of the spread is occurring within households, not out on the streets. not in public. so, again, the lockdowns appear to be a big overreaction that was taken as a precaution but at tremendous cost. brian: so, dr. siegel, they told us things they stay on counter tops, on furniture. these germs, you could touch something and someone else could touch something and now it's really hard to get it from counter tops. so from other pieces of
3:55 am
furniture. then they told us don't wear masks. don't worry about it. you better wear a mask or we're not going to serve you. now it's asymptomatic. i might have it, you might not have it. you don't know. don't move. stay indoors. what are we to believe at this point? >> i will tell you what we should believe. we should believe the basic science about coronavirus and respiratory viruses. yes, they can spread by surfaces but that's uncommon. uncommon. yes, they could spread when you are asymptomatic, but that's uncommon. most of the time you get virus in your nose when you are tom is symptomatic. cough and sneeze. contact test something who has it and who needs toe kept a close eye on. another problem the protest started occur about 9 days ago. we have been watching hot spots and watching the number of cases across the country. though there are states that are still are hot spots they don't
3:56 am
correlate with the protest. in other words, overall in the united states yesterday you saw 16,000 cases. the day before, you saw 18,500 cases. on june 6th, the day before that, it was 23,000 cases. so the number of overall cases is going down. and the number nut hot spots are not correlating to the protesters. so it looks like them breaking the lockdown which i'm not endorsing that but breaking the lockdown didn't cause a huge surge of cases that people were warning about. all of this fear, all of this fear has been excessive and has had tremendous cost. brian: dr. siegel, thanks so much for scrambling early for us. we really appreciate it. coming up next over the next two hours ronna mcdanielr and mike huckabee but they like each other. liberty. liberty. ♪

brian: new rallying cry in. demonstrators calling our our governments to defund or even dismantle american police departments. protesters lining up outside gracey mansion in new york city mayor de blasio's home calling on him to resign. steve? steve: because, brian, he announced a cut in funding for new york's finest but the crowds said that's not enough. meanwhile overnight protesters also lined up outside the home of the mayor of san diego, kevin faulkner.
4:01 am
[chanting] shame on you. shame on you. shame on you. shame on you. shame on you. shame on you. steve: they're hollering shame on you after a report that their effort to defund the police failed. city council actually increased its budget for the police instead of slashing it, ainsley. ainsley: in minneapolis, steve, the police department was just hit with a court order to add new reforms immediately. one day after the city council vowed to dismantle it. we start at the white house and that's where kristin fisher joins us live as president trump doubles down on support for the police. kristin? >> yeah. good morning, guys. this movement to defund the police is being denounced by the white house and over on capitol hill by both republicans and democrats. yesterday inside the white house, president trump held a round table with law enforcement and president trump said point blank he did not believe this is going to happen.
4:02 am
and attorney general bill barr called it dangerous during an interview yesterday with our bret baier. >> it's the exact opposite of the way we should go. defunding the police, holding the entire police structure responsible for the actions of certain officers is wrong. and i think it's dangerous. >> you can see this is one of those rare issues where the trump administration and many top democrats agree. house speaker nancy pelosi really tried to distance herself from the debate by saying that defunding the police is a local decision. while senator joe manchin called it crazy and anyone who talks about that is nuts. even former vice president joe biden says it's simply a bridge too far. >> no. i don't support defunds the police. i support conditioning federal aid to police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency, and honorableness and, in fact are able to demonstrate they can
4:03 am
protect the community and everybody in the community. >> here in washington the city's democratic mayor still supports an increase to the police budget and that prompted activists to paint defund the police on this giant black lives matter mural which i'm standing on one block away from the white house. brian, ainsley and steve? brian: thanks, kristin, appreciate it. and the mayor hasn't said either way whether she supports defunding the police. we do know. this there is huge numbers on the streets who say defund the police. they have began to cut money back in los angeles over $100 million. and they are doing it in new york as you know and that wasn't good enough. so the people on the streets are firm on all those people gathered. firm in defunding the police. but the u gov did a survey and they asked people are you in to defunding the police? 16% of democrats and 15% of republicans are in favor of the idea. meaning most of america against
4:04 am
it. judge napolitano, one of those who says this is a joke. >> this is a serious overreaction to the tragedy of george floyd's death and the other tragedies that preceded it. city charters require the cities to have police departments. so you can't just not have it. you want to put restraints on the police from abusing their power, of course can you do that but to abolish the police department would actually harm the most the people calling for its abolition because they would be the most likely to be victims of crime with no redress. steve: and so just imagine, ainsley and brian, you are living in a town that is talking about dismantling the police department. would you want to live in that town if you thought, okay, if somebody breaks into my house or somebody does something bad that i need to call somebody and have
4:05 am
an authority figure fix it, and nobody comes, or, you know, a sociology just shows up or a social worker or a mental health professional, it's something that people coast to coast are thinking about right now. let's bring in the rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel. she joins us on this tuesday morning. ronna, we just saw in that report from kristin fisher that even top democrats, including joe biden, and nancy pelosi are walking away from the idea to dismantle or defund the police. in 2020, is that -- as an issue, is it a loser, a political loser? >> i think the president has been spot on talking about law and order and making sure that it's very clear he does not want to defund the police. you saw nancy pelosi side step it. i mean, remember, the democrat party has talked about abolishing ice. are seeing this defund the police movement continue. have you seen many democrat governors and mayors across the country refuse to arrest
4:06 am
protesters or rioters who were looting businesses. i think that this is a big issue. it's interesting to see democrats not coming out strong and forcefully and saying absolutely we should not defund the police which is the opposite of where the president is. ainsley: let's talk about colin powell endorsing joe biden. this is what he had to say. listen to this, ronna. >> i'm very close to joe biden on a social matter and political matter. i have worked for w. him for 35, 40 years. he is now the candidate and i will be voting for him. ainsley: so ronna, you have got that. no surprise many people will say he admitted to voting for hillary in 2016 and for past elections he has voted for democrats as well. what about your uncle? your uncle reportedly is not going to vote for president trump and he has been out there protesting? >> no surprise there he didn't vote for him in 2016.
4:07 am
here is what i am going to so i the president was dough coalesced the republican party. he has the highest approval for a lot of reason. rule of laugh justices that support the constitution. i don't know how colin powell can say the president stepped away from the constitution when he put people like kavanaugh and gulch on the bench and rule of law justices across the board. the president is focused on deregulation. cutting taxes, energy independence. strengthening nato. i mean, on every single front that republicans care, about religious freedom, this president has been a warrior and champion. and on the policy levels of our party, he has taken us further than past presidents ever have. and i am troubled by republican leaders not supporting the policies of our party that have been emboldened by president trump. but i will tell you what, the base of the party is solidly behind him. brian: president bush 43 said through freddy ford this story is not true. he has not talked to anybody who
4:08 am
he is voting. is he not presidential politics. push back from the people actually involved in it never questioned about it. let's move on for a second if we can it looks as though the president meeting with law enforcement sending a message yesterday in a round table televised do you also think it would be a good idea to meet with african-american leaders and find out what they think is the issues that would bring law enforcement closer together in urban communities? do you think that would be an important element? i. >> i think the president has consistently met with african-american leaders. let's not forget this is the president that put economic opportunity zones in the tax cuts and jobs act. it was the president who passed criminal justice reforms. not barack obama. not joe biden. he is the one who passed criminal justice reform. giving loan forgiveness to hvcus. what this president has done to help black community and be part of these discussions has been
4:09 am
unprecedented and of course he is going to continue that reach-out and listening to black leaders on these important issues. and i -- you know, he reached out to george floyd's family. he has been on the forefront of saying we don't want to see anything like this happen in our country again so the answer is not defunding the police and we need to have law and order in this country as well. steve: right. and so, ronna, you know, a moment ago when i asked you about preliminarily clearly politics involved in this for nancy pelosi to step away from the defunding and joe biden as well. i asked if that was a political loser. do you see this as an issue going into the elections where the republicans say okay, we're the party of law and order democrats see a change in attitude regarding policing that they feel they need to do something about.
4:10 am
why now? >> i think the president has, if you look at the speech he gave at nasa and the speech he gave in the rose garden. he has been spot on on this issue talking about the importance of bringing our country together and unifying around this very difficult moment that all of us. steve: he is. >> she as shore risk what happened to george floyd. the president has gone further saying the answer is not defunding the police and going after law enforcement and removing law and order in this country. what you have seen democrats not only push across the country but exempt phi in how they handle these riots. some of the riots in their cities by just walking away from looters and people who are doing damage to black communities this is going to be an issue legged in the election like ilhan omar and rasheda tlaib.
4:11 am
i don't think this is going away any time soon. ainsley: what about hosting the rnc convention? i have heard nashville, dallas, florida, of course. what are you thinking now? >> the president loves north carolina. we really wanted to have it in north carolina because he loves the people of north carolina. have you this democrat governor who really, i think, has played politics and not given us guidelines to not prevent us from holding the celebration everybody is coming to the table all types of state. oklahoma, georgia, florida, texas, tennessee that have come and said we want to host your convention. we have been traveling. we will have to make a decision probably within the next week as to where we're going to have this celebration. i have been traveling as well. i will make sure to let you guys know first where we are going. not before the president. [laughter] brian: and we appreciate that i feel bad for the people of north
4:12 am
carolina. all the hotels and acars. the governor wouldn't make a commitment. the president is going to go back to rallies within two weeks. they are going to really look stupid for turning down this lucrative event in a very purple state. ronna, i want to ask you, the word is inside the white house -- can you easily punt on, this but i know you won't. they have been trying to get the president to soften his rhetoric that his base loves the toughness but independents don't. are you one of those people trying to get the president to broaden out and soften up a little bit and be open to what's going on with the civil unrest or are you one of those people who keep the hard line, the base is enough to win an election? >> you know, the president is his best advisor. i mean, he really has a gut for the pulse of the american people. and i think it is so critical that he gets out on the road and starts having these rallies and hearing from his voters. but i think if you look at the
4:13 am
speeches he has given that have not been given the coverage they deserve what he said at nasa and rose garden are unifying messages about bringing your country together at a difficult time. is he not going to budge on law and order in this country and i think that is the right balance. steve: so, ronna. how would these rallies work? right now there is social distancing restrictions and guidelines all across the country regarding big crowds of thousands of people are we talking drive-ins? are we talking, what? brian: people honk? >> i think they will be full rallies. ism,. brian: really? >> when we went to north carolina and i spoke to the governor talking about the convention. we were talking about doing temperature checks, testing everybody before they came in. lots of precautions to make sure we are putting the safety of convention goers first. i think that will be the same with the rallies. they will make sure that they are putting safety procedures in
4:14 am
place to make sure that every attenee is taken care of. as you mentioned earlier, brian, the rules keep changing, right? asymptomatic people now aren't contagious. brian: unbelievable. unbelievable. >> there is a lot of things we can do to make sure this is safe. people want to get out and rally. they want to get out and start campaigning and being part of this election for this president and the enthusiasm for him is through the roof. ainsley: ronna so good to talk to you thank you very much. brian: we can't buy cleats. we can buy liquor but not buy shoes. unbelievable these rules. >> i'm from michigan, i know. trust me. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian she is back in the studio and she has headlines. jillian? jillian: good morning we start with this. primary day. seats up in georgia, nevada, north dakota, and west virginia. four republicans in south carolina are running for the chance to face democratic congressman joe cunningham. it was previously a red seat for

4:21 am
major shifts both in the short-term and that our community is ready to reimagine public safety from the ground up to think holistically to make sure every single member of our community is safe. our next guest calls that a profound mistake. here to explain republican from minnesota, congressional candidate lacy lee johnson he is competing for the seat currently held by congresswoman ilhan omar who is also calling to dismantle the police. lacy, good morning to you good morning, steve. steve: what do you make is going on there in minneapolis? , we have reckless city council men making reckless decisions about the safety and health of our community by passing this law to disband, stop funding the police.
4:22 am
they are putting our community at risk. they are making it -- minneapolis an unattractive place for tourists and businesses they are not putting enough thought into what they are doing. so it's just a reckless decision, steve. of you who they are going about doing. this and to show how reckless it is, they have presented no alternatives to the police defunding the police. so it is just a bad decision all the way around. steve: right. we just heard from the council president say they are trying to reimagine public safety but there have not been any real hard suggestions on whether a to do other than calls from activists who say they have got to take the police department apart, including the current u.s. congresswoman. listen to this. >> we need to completely dismantle the minneapolis police

4:32 am
reopened and new york is catching up to you. >> the reaction is amazing. we have gotten over 250 more businesses that have joined our coalition. so that's about 500 businesses that opened about 11 days ago. and we really. i'm shocked at the amount of people that are giving us so much support. it's like you don't really hear this so much in the regular media. but they are i'm getting messages constantly. thank you us for the courage. i had one man call me open new york has given him courage to reopen his business and put food on the table for his kids. that was exactly the idea we wanted to accomplish. there is just the double standard. something i can't sit by and watch it happen. and in front of my eyes, i'm watching people lose their businesses and i just need to -- people need to be encouraged to open their businesses and skip the phases. really. i mean, you can't sell hardwood flooring from curbside pickup.

4:40 am
trying to make amends with the people on the far left who say we ought to dismantle the police department. what we need to do is get rid of democratic mayors running the cities where the most problems are. that's what i think is missing here in the analysis. most of the cities where there is real trouble are completely run and have been for decades by democrat mayor's with liberal ideas. it doesn't work. and maybe they ought to wake up to that. >> that seems to be pretty consistent. can't control their own people. now the people to the left of their left-wing mayors. meanwhile ric grenell who has been in germany for a while comes back because he was ambassador. comes back as acting dni. did his best to unmask what -- unwrap what was happening with russia investigation. the paperwork was just laying there. and he released it and then left. this is was his analysis of where we are at right now in washington and america.
4:41 am
>> we have a real problem in washington, d.c. because it's a system that is no longer really republicans and democrats pushing against each other to create a good policy. it's no longer a fight between republicans and democrats. it's a fight between washington and the rest of america. if you know someone and you work your way up and it's a musical chairs from one agency to another. there is no outside both. therbottom orperspective when se donald trump comes in and says why are we doing it this way they attack him because is he breaking the system. he doesn't play by their rolls. brian: he blows it up. does that explain for you some of the anger towards president trump which seems inordinate regardless of the policy or the speech? >> it absolutely does, brian. you know, i think ric grenell, one you have my favorite people is spot on with this. because what we really have is control by the land of the
4:42 am
people in the bubbles. there are four bubbles in america. silicon valley, hollywood, new york, and the media market and all the things that happen in new york and washington. and then the rest of the country there are a lot of bubbas. and the bubbas and the bubbles don't necessarily get along and mix because they have a whole different set of world views. what we are seeing here is that there are democrats who will vote for donald trump because they are basically bubbas. and there are some republicans, we have seen a few of them speak out the last few days, they are bubble guys. they are not bubba guys. they are bubble guys. they love the bubble. they are protecting the bubble. but the problem is the bubble has swallowed up the rest of america and people are fighting back and saying that's enough. we want our country to return to a place where everyone is treated the same. white, black, male, female, liberal, conservative, wherever you live. rural, urban. everybody gets the same treatment because that's what america is supposed to look like. steve: well, you just mentioned
4:43 am
washington, d.c. is being one of those bubbles. you know, after the election of donald trump in 2016, governor, they continued going forward with these investigations despite there not being any there there. here is a soundbite from the attorney general bill barr that's going to air tonight on you recall bret baier pray and get your reaction. >> after the election, even though they were closing down some of it after we see in the flynn case saying there is nothing here, for some reason they went right back at it. even at a time where the evidentiary support or claim support like the dossier was falling apart. and it's very hard to understand why they continued to push and even make public in testimony that they had an investigation going when it was becoming painfully obvious or should have been obvious to anyone that there was nothing there.
4:44 am
steve: governor, you know, in the very beginning, they had to say that russia was involved with the election that was to explain how hillary clinton lost that guy. but then, you know, in d.c. it had legs and it kept going and going and going. >> well, the truth is, steve, russia's worst nightmare was the election of donald trump. he has been far harsher on russia. he has imposed sanctions. he has held them accountable. he has not kowtowed to them. he didn't go over and do some phone little gamphoney little gt button that everything was going to be fine. he didn't take any money from the russians big speech he made. he didn't sell our uranium. the russians have not gained much under this president. but the people of america have. that's why i think you are seeing the establishment of d.c. reacts like they have. but, you know, the people who want to go after trump, even when they knew there was nothing there in terms of collusion, i
4:45 am
mean they were like people with fishing poles in the dead sea continuing to put their line in the water even though they knew there was nothing there to catch. ainsley: thank you so much, governor, for being on with us. >> great to be with you. thank you. ainsley: good to see you too. hand it over to jillian who is back in the studios and has some headlines. jillian: good morning. we start with this. u.s. attorney says says britain prince andrew says lying about wanting to testify against jeffrey epstein. he offered to help three times. attorney jeffrey burman says andrew, quote, was falsely portraying himself as willing to cooperate. a woman trafficked by epstein claims she had sexual relations with the prince which he denies. and how about this? the world health organization updating its guidance on how the coronavirus is spread. it now says it's spread by asymptomatic patients is very rare. dr. marc siegel joined us earlier to weigh in. >> i think lockdowns were based

4:54 am
mayor. a city that's been run by progressive democrats for 50 years. and has allowed the contagion of violence of rioting and looting to spread to the entire country. and you have to think that this is part of a deliberate effort to sow discord in the country five months before an election. and in jacob frey you have the perfect embodiment of the modern democratic party. someone who is so liberal and so weak he doesn't stand for anything. but even for him, the idea of abolishing the police, which has suddenly overnight seemingly become the mantra of this movement, this black lives matter movement. even jacob frey that was a bridge too far. and, yet, within a day, the minneapolis city council decided in their majority that they were
4:55 am
going to move to defund their police. i don't have any solution any -- they haven't really told us what their plan is to quell the violence that's in their city. minneapolis is one of the most dangerous cities in the country. they are talking about flying -- social workers. there is gang violence and drive by shootings and homicides in that city. it's insane. but, it has taken off like a virus around the country. ainsley: some people have suggested replace police. they will should end traffic stops and justice if you are burglarized or a theft in your store you need to sit down with the perpetrator and you all need to talk it out and figure out a solution. now, the mayor though there is saying the exact same thing that joe biden said. so will he be booed by that community? >> well, look, you know, it doesn't work. it's some utopian dream.
4:56 am
it's based in a hatred, i think, of the sort of masculinity that a lot of police forces represent. and also the fact that a lot of police, a lot of military, you know, fans of donald trump. that's another reason why they are on the nose. with a democratic party that seems to have lost any sight of what politics used to be in this country and it's now just a zero sum game.

so try making it smaller, and you'll be surprised at how easily starting small can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette. president trump: there isn't going to be any disbanding of our police. our police have been letting us live in peace and we want to make sure we don't have any bad actors in there and sometimes you'll see some horrible things like we witnessed recently, but 99, i say 99.9 but let's go with 99% of them are great, great people. steve: you've got the president yesterday standing behind our men and women in blue as calls to defund or dismantle police departments spread across the united states. protesters lining up outside of new york city's mayor's home as you can see right there, and you can hear them, they called on him, mayor deblasio, ainsley, to resign. ainsley: they did.

he announced a cut in funding for new york's finest but the crowd says that is not enough, mayor. overnight protesters also lining up outside of the home of the mayor of san diego, kevin fa lkanon. listen. >> [chanting] "shame on you, shame on you, shame on you, shame on you" ainsley: folks there furious after an effort to defund the police failed, the city council actually increased its police budget, brian. brian: yeah, and in minneapolis , the police department was just hit with a court order one day after the city council vowed to dismantle the entire department. that's where we start this morning with matt finn. matt what are the new reforms they're talking about? reporter: brian, the hennepin county court here officially approved these new reforms which now prohibits minneapolis police officers from using chokeholds. it also requires officers to report if they see chokeholds
5:02 am
and there are other reforms that have been approved and also here , in minneapolis, former police officer derek chauvin made his first court appearance yesterday, via video. his bail set at at least $1 million bond. chauvin is charged with three counts of murder in the death of george floyd and he did not enter a plea and so far the former officer's attorney has not indicated whether he will post bond and in houston, texas, yesterday a public memorial was held for george floyd. thousands attended including celebrities and high-ranking politicians. former vice president joe biden met with the floyd family as well. here in minneapolis, city council members now say they have a veto-proof majority and are moving forward with with abolishing the minneapolis police department but there's a lot of questions about whether it will happen and what it will look like, even the city's mayor says he will not support it. now, in a tv interview the minneapolis city council president was asked the obvious question. what happens without police if
5:03 am
someone breaks into your home in the middle of the night? the minneapolis city council president says calling 911 in that situation comes from a place of privilege. >> they think that it's privileged because for those of us for whom the system is working i think we need to step out and imagine what it would feel like to already live with that reality, where calling police may mean more harm is done. reporter: and the minneapolis mayor announced a new coalition to rebuild after all of the violent looting and rioting here and more than 500 businesses were looted, burned or destroyed across the twin cities. back to you guys. steve: matt finn live in the twin cities thank you very much. i think with what allison asked the leader there is a fair question. if you're going to dismantle the police department what are you going to replace it with and there's so many variables so
5:04 am
many unknowns. would it be a mental health professional who responds? would it be a social worker? we don't know because they haven't come up with any concrete plans they simply said they are trying to reimagine it. but we do seem to be at a moment in time where there is a movement and that is why yesterday, the democrats and the house of representatives unveiled their justice in policing act which would limit the legal protections for police who ban chokeholds and create a national database of excessive force incidents. nancy pelosi has not said she is for defunding the police. she stepped away from that. we just heard matt finn say joe biden is stepping away from that donald trump made it very clear. he doesn't think that's a good idea and it's not going to happen on his watch at the federal level but then again if something happens locally, well this is what the president had to say. president trump: we can't give up the finest law enforcement anywhere in the world.
5:05 am
there's nothing like it but we won't be defunding our police. we won't be dismantling our police. we won't be disbanding our police. we won't be ending our police force in a city, i guess you might have some cities that want to try but it's going to be very sad situation if they did, because people aren't going to be protected. steve: that's right people wouldn't be protected and ainsley if you lived in one of those towns you'd be concerned about what's going to happen. that's why the democrats are coming out with the bill in the house, but given the fact that it's an election year, it is uncertain whether or not it could even pass. ainsley: i know there's so much concern about what this means for the city of minneapolis and for the people that live there but do like the police and do support it. i understand there needs to be reform and no one is denying what happened to george floyd was just awful, but to dismantle the police it's so extreme, and some of the reports are calling
5:06 am
for unarmed psychologists to replace police, to end traffic stops, under restorative justice if someone burglarizes your business, ouistiti down with the perpetrator and come up with a solution and you talk it out. brian: great what could go wrong? ainsley: it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that's probably not going to work out well. nancy pelosi was saying this is a local issue, local communities can decide and joe biden said that he doesn't support de funding police. listen. >> i don't support defunding the police. i support conditioning federal aid to police, based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness and in fact are able to demonstrate and they can protect the community and everybody in the community. ainsley: but that's exactly what the mayor, brian and steve, said in minneapolis. remember, he said, you know, he said a lot of extreme things that the president hasn't agreed with but then he said i don't
5:07 am
agree with dismantling the police. i think that we need reform let's talk about it but that's not the way to go. he was on stage and booed and he walked through the crowd and it took a lot of guts for him to stand up to that when the majority of the city council feels otherwise but what does this mean for joe biden? if he thinks the same thing as the mayor, brian? brian: everyone is talking about how joe biden is picking up momentum and they talk about this segment of society and electorate he said in the beginning. do you know what he's going to be losing? police unions and anyone who was a cop, is a cop, is related to a cop or has someone in their family because they realize in a time in which people need to stand up for law enforcement while making sure that racial disparities are addressed, they're watching joe biden from the 1990s run for the hills in a time of crisis. can you believe the proposal of community members that attend domestic violence events? so if there's a problem with a man and a woman in one of the most dangerous things that
5:08 am
could happen you'd talk to anyone in law enforcement, now you'll send in a sociologist, by the way has anyone asked a sociologist if they want to go to a domestic dispute? i'm pretty sure they don't. they also want to decriminalize sex work. that will help society and mental health responders instead of armed police and no more traffic stops. unbelievable. at a time in which crime has gone in up san francisco, minneapolis and new york city, before these protests happened, before the tragic death of george floyd, we're now looking at police departments and saying you're the problem. if you want to start a dialogue between them i think that make sense. if you want to capitalize on this stupidly and come up with proposals any logical person would not sign on to, continue on this path. governor mike huckabee joins us earlier. >> what we need to do is to get rid of some of these democratic mayors who are running the cities where the most problems are. that's what i think is missing here in the analysis. most of the cities where there
5:09 am
is real trouble are completely run and have been for decades by democrat mayors with liberal ideas. it doesn't work, and maybe they ought to wake up to that. brian: yeah, i would think so. that be something be quite interesting to see if people, the citizens, apolitical that just look around and say is this the leadership we want, is this going to help kill racist and ethnic groups once and for all in citied of democrat and republicans, many of which say, i am for the protests, i am against the violence in the protests, by an overwhelming number. steve: yeah, rather than completely starting from scratch with some new entity, maybe we just do our best to fix the system we've got right now and have had for a long time so we'll keep you posted on what d.c. does and what they do of course in the twin cities and meanwhile last night in d.c., bret baier the host of "special
5:10 am
report" sat down yesterday for an interview with the attorney general. it's a two-parter. some is running tonight and some ran last night. in particular they talked a little bit about all of the protests that turned violent with the looting and the rioting , for the most part, and the role of antifa. were they involved? well this is what the attorney general had to say about that, as they look into whether any of that is pertinent. >> it's a very loosely-organiz ed group and they have sort of a unique or unusual system of communication and organization. there appear to be sources of funding and we are looking into the sources of funding and there is clearly some high degree of organization into all of it at some of these events and coordinated tactics that we're looking into that as well, and some of that relates to antifa, some of it relates to groups
5:11 am
that act very much like antifa. as i said there's a witch's brew of extremist groups that are trying to exploit this situation on all sides. steve: and i've got a feeling they will get to the bottom of some of it, because as we reported last week, the stories were that the department of justice authorized the d. e. a. to use their law enforcement techniques including all sorts of things that they have at their disposal to try to figure out who was behind it. is somebody funding it? is there coordination? so they authorized the d. e. a. to surveil covertly for two weeks, the week runs out this week, so let's see , ainsley, what they're able to dig up, because i've got a feeling after that authorization ends, the doj will make some sort of announcement about what they found. ainsley: yeah, i really hope for those business owners that were looted and vandalized that their businesses were set on fire that they do find out who
5:12 am
did that and whose behind it and who was organizing it and brian you were talking about the de funding of the police department and giving some of the stats and their ideas. i was watching our coverage last night and some of the protesters that were peaceful were saying they want to defund because 54% of mayor deblasio's budget is police officers which is not true. you said that stat yesterday, brian. new york times is reporting that his budget is $6 billion. 6%, i mean, the police department's budget is $6 billion and 6% of mayor deblasio's budget is for the police. only 6%. his budget is $90 billion, so they need to know the facts and by defunding the police department, it can hurt the minority community as well, if you look at the stats, the police department in new york, 53% minorities. if you look at the police department in chicago, 51% minorities, and in la it's 60% brian. brian: yeah, some of these
5:13 am
proposals i just think we've suspended logic and by the way when it comes to antifa it is not the attorney general coming up with this without facts. for example, three members of antifa are arrested in looting in liberal austin, texas and they've been charged part of a group of 20 ripping the plywood off and just destroying stores, curtis fleewell with the guardian angels had his jaw fractures because he was trying to protect a foot lock with a few of his volunteer organizations trying to keep some order and for those to say it wasn't violent, did you see some of those scenes out of seattle yesterday? do you know the police abandoned one of their police stations to try to deescalate the protests that had gone on for 10 straight days so they just got their stuff, got their files and left. i'm really not sure where this goes, because usually you give an inch, and the protesters get a mile, or the rioters get a mile. i'm not sure what they are doing in some of these cities, but
5:14 am
we'll see where it goes. meanwhile, jillian mele is standing by with other breaking news that's taking place while we were talking. jillian: that's right good morning we begin with this. a man charged with arson in the minneapolis police precinct fire is making his first court appearance today. prosecutors say brandon wolf admitted to throwing a wooden barrel into the flames during riots over george floyd's death. when police track him down wolf was wearing gear that was stolen from the precinct that includes body armor, and a duty belt with handcuffs, a baton and a knife. he is the first person to be charged in connection to that fire. >> four u.s. service members are hurt after their aircraft over shot a runway at a base in iraq. the c 130 slamming into a wall and sparking a fire that happened during a night landing just north of baghdad. 33 people were on board. >> well it is primary day in five states. major house and senate seats up for grabs in south carolina,

and we should be following best practices across the country and all police departments should be doing that. one example i often use, 10%, one out of every 10 stops that a police officer does involves a mental health issue in the person they're stopping yet police departments mostly around the country only require eight hours of training when it comes to mental health. if you compare and contrast that with my home honduras, san antonio police department which is seen as one of the best to billing with mental health issues they have 40 hours of training. we know what best practices are under the previous obama administration, they had a commission on 21st policing, president trump has a commission on improving law enforcement, let's make these standards and tie federal dollars and say hey, if you're not doing these kind of things that we think are best practices then you won't get the $2 billion that the department of justice provides. let's make sure the tax dollars
5:22 am
that we're spending are used wisely on those best practices that's one way to do it and we also need to empower police chiefs to be able to fire bad cops. police chiefs an everybody else on the force knows who those bad police officers are, oftentimes when someone gets fired it goes to a thing called arbitration, and through arbitration they put that bad cop back on the force. that happens 46% of the time. if we strengthen a chief of police able to make sure he has the best offers that he can, then we're going to be a lot better off and we're not going to let a couple of bad apples ruin the reputation of an entire force. i think everybody is outraged by what happened to george floyd. every single chief of a major police department came out and said it was horrible. so we are, but we also have a lot of the men and women and the police that keep us safe.
5:23 am
they're enabling our ability to protest and march and exercise our first amendment, so if we're able to make sure we're following best practices, make sure the police chiefs are able to fire folks and then make sure you can hold the civilians can hold police thible when police go outside of their responsibility and that deals with this issue of qualified immunity. if we can treat that and reform that, then those are ways that we can ensure that most of our police officers, all of our police officers are able to continue to protect and serve. brian: right. congressman just from what you know, as grown up as a kid in america who went on to the great sec success of a congressman and a cia guy, have you had negative interaction with law enforcement where like we had other senators come out and say i've had problems with people that don't know me when i'm dressed, tim scott when i'm dressed in civilian wear, pulled me over and they suspect it's because of
5:24 am
color of their skin. have you had negative interactions like that? >> of course i've had that and many of my friends and family have as well, but i've also had positive interactions as well too, right? these are folks that i've learned a lot about like community policing from the police officers that i've been able to work within my time in congress and even federal law enforcement when i was undercover officer in the cia and so again, we can't let a handful of bad apples which exist, this is happening, we're seeing it encourage or discourage folks from recognizing all those men and women who are putting themselves in harms way and whether your skin is black or your uniform is blue, you shouldn't be afraid to walk the streets and i think there's ways that republicans and the president through executive orders can make sure we get there. brian: i hope so, because law enforcement are not the bad guys
5:25 am
there are bad people in there and the people protesting are not bad. they want to see change. why don't we just get together and do something. you started the dialogue i thought very intel it gently with your background in that column in the wall street journal and thanks so much for exanding on this today, congressman. >> brian always a pleasure and leader mccarthy is working on some issues as well addressing transparency and training and the ability to terminate, so we can if both are willing to have a dialogue. brian: gotcha, i agree and we are so let's do it. congressman thank you again. meanwhile the remnants of cristo bal heading north after battering the gulf coast bringing flooding to mississippi governor tate reeves joins us live with an update, next.

5:29 am
or credit card bills. right now is the time to take care of what matters most. like we've done together, so many times before. discover all the ways we're helping members at usaa.com/coronavirus steve: welcome back. it is 8:30 in the east meanwhile indoor arcades and play zones for kids are starting to reopen their doors nationwide after the pandemic but are facing some financial troubles. grady trimbul from our sister network fox business network joins us live outside a chuck e cheese in skokie illinois with more on the businesses at risk. hey there. reporter: and steve chuck e.
5:30 am
cheese is looking to raise money to avoid a bankruptcy filing but bankruptcy is not off the table according to the wall street journal. at the same time, the company recently reportedly paid $3 million in bonuses to executives to help navigate the next steps. coronavirus closures are hitting chuck e. cheese hard more than 500 locations have closed and a handful in about 10 states they have been able to reopen but with new safety measures in place including temperature checks at the door, kids hands will no longer be stamped instead an employee will take their selfie when they arrive and employees will be sanitizing games every half hour. many kid-friendly arcades, trampoline parks those types of places aren't allowed to reopen until the later phases of state reopenings and then the question is, even once they are able to reopen, will parents be comfortable taking their kids to them? for now, a lot of them remain closed burning through cash and not generating much revenue at a time when they'd be pretty popular with kids out of school. some good news, back here at
5:31 am
chuck e. cheese if you're getting a craving for their pizza or wings, the restaurants actually still open for carryout steve? steve: all right, grady, thank you very much and i can tell you as a parent with three kids who are birthday parties at chuck e. cheese, that pizzas really good. all right, grady thank you very much for the live report. ainsley over to you. ainsley: they eat the pizza we drink the beer thanks so much steve. tropical depression cristobal tracking its way in land after bat inning mississippi and leaving flooding in its wake and here is mississippi's gop governor tate reeves good morning to you, governor. >> good morning thanks for having me on. ainsley: you're welcome thanks for coming on i know the folks in your state want to hear from you you've been on local news but we wanted to have you on because these images are just so troubling. many houses and businesses are under water. how did this effect you? >> well it was a significant event here in mississippi. we know that cristobal entered
5:32 am
west of the u.s. mississippi line and we are east of the eye of the storm which typically in these storms with the rotation is the worst place that you could be so we saw significant wind, winds up to about 50 miles an hour. in addition to that we saw significant rising of water in hancock county, for instance on the far west side of our coastline, almost eight feet of water and it came in at a time when they were really at high tide and so significant flooding occurred throughout the three coastal counties. i've been told that over 250 roads in those three coastal counties have experienced some level of flooding. we have significant damage on our beaches as well as our peers took a pretty big hit as well. ainsley: what about the cleanup effort? where do you go from here? >> well i'll tell you, the eye of the storm is up near missouri now. we are actually still getting some bad weather from some of the outer bands. we believe there are tornado warnings from the mississippi
5:33 am
gulf coast all the way up to the north part of our state so we're experiencing some additional bad weather today, so we've got to be careful. we'll start damage assessments as soon as it is safe to do so. we don't want to put any of our first responders in harms way but we'll start making those assessments as soup soon as possible and the cleanup efforts are going to be done in a way that is smart and protect our fellow mississippians, but our biggest challenge is i spent friday, saturday and sunday on the mississippi gulf coast, and friday was the fifth day of hurricane season, and cristobal is the third-named storm of 2020 and so i'm afraid this is foreshadowing of what is going to be a very very very challenging year from a weather standpoint in the gulf of mexico. ainsley: its already been a challenging year especially for you guys with covid and then the lockdown and rioting and then cristobal, so what's your message to the folks watching that have gone through all of this and its been devastating?
5:34 am
>> well 2020 has been a very challenging year for the people of mississippi. we had prison riots we've had floods we've had covid-19, we have tornadoes on easter sunday and now the third-named storm of the hurricane season but my message to the people in mississippi is that we're going to get through this together. the only way we can get through it is working together with one another and i'm convinced that there is a united effort in our state to do just that. we've got good people and mississippians are some of the most generous people in all of the world and we coming together to help our friends and neighbors in tough times and there's no doubt we are in tough times. ainsley: great people of mississippi i don't know what i'd do without one of my best friends up here in new york she's from jackson and amazing. thanks so much governor appreciate it. >> thank ainsley. ainsley: you're welcome. president trump discussing police reform during a law enforcement round table at the white house. one sheriff who was at that meeting joins us with his recommendations to the president that's coming up, next.

ainsley: today, george floyd will be laid to rest. thousands of mourners lining up outside of the church during a fine am memorial to pay their respects. casey segal joins us live from houston, texas. reporter: good morning, today's funeral gets underway at 11:00 local time that is noon eastern, and in about an hour and a half from now, we expect the hearse carrying the casket of george floyd to arrive back at the church it will be accompanied by a large motorcade similar to what we saw yesterday due to social distancing measure s the church will only be at 25% capacity. that means only about 500 will be allowed inside the actual sanctuary. everyone has to wear a mask and gloves and their temperature will be screened upon entry and
5:40 am
congresswoman sheila jackson lee , houston mayor sylvester turner, floyd mayweather among the vip's scheduled to be in attendance with the reverend half sharpton delivering the eulogy. there were rumors former vice president joe biden will be here but here is why that decision was ultimately scrapped. >> one of the reasons that the floyd family and attorneys and i met with mr. biden is we're not having a political rally tomorrow. we're having a service. reporter: as you heard, biden met privately with george floyd 's family yesterday in houston. a videotaped message will instead play today at the funeral. officials tell us that more than 6,000 members from the public turned out yesterday and filed by the open casket inside this church to pay their final respects. following today's funeral service which is expected to last a little more than three
5:41 am
hours, george floyd will be laid to rest next to his mother at a cemetery about 12 miles from where we are. ainsley? ainsley: thank you, casey. brian: thanks, meanwhile president trump condemning calls to defund the police at a round table with law enforcement yesterday. president trump: we have great law enforcement, i'm very proud of them. there won't be defunding. there won't be dismantling of our police, and we're going to work and we're going to talk about ideas how we can do it better and how we can do it, if possible in a much more gentle fashion. steve: our next guest was at the round table. here to discuss, livingston county, illinois sheriff tony childress. good morning to you. >> good morning, thank you for having me. steve: you bet, sir thank you very much. we just heard the president say he convened people from across the country to hear ideas. were you in attendance and did you hear anything, i know you were in attendance did you hear
5:42 am
anything that made you go hey that's a good idea. maybe we should do that? >> as a matter of fact, i did, and we at the table were very much in concert with working with the president and doing all we can to make this nation better. ainsley: sheriff, how will what happened to george floyd, how will it change your training process and what you're doing with your department? >> well, ainsley, it won't change our process very much, because we have a principle in place at the livingston county sheriff's department whereby i've been there for 29 years now and the last six years i've been sheriff. my people know that my philosophy is you treat people right and you treat people well and it will come back to you. right is right and wrong is wrong and if you treat people
5:43 am
bad, that's going to come back to you too and it's not going to be very good for you. brian: sheriff some of the things we're talking about with legislation in washington not in the media, you have in the white house but in congress they're talking about registry to better track officers who could be problems. they want to ban chokeholds and also intensify independent investigations at the state and local level to allow more pattern and practice investigations, and essentially, weaken the unions. how do you feel about that? are any of these things lead to better policing? >> i have no problem with things that lead to better policing. i don't know about weakening the unions. i don't know that that's such a great idea. being an administrator, i work with our unions and we don't always see eye to eye, but we
5:44 am
usually work very hard in getting through it and making for certain that everybodies treated fairly and i think that's the key to what goes on with police officers in the community. if you make sure you treat people fairly, most cases, you're not going to have a problem. my people know that once again, my philosophy is treat people right. we've learned a long time ago that people don't really care how much you know until they know how much you care, and our philosophy in the way we treat the community in livingston county is generally always always fair and that comes back to you in a big way. steve: all right well, sheriff, real pleasure meeting you and having you on after your big
5:45 am
round table at the white house. sir thank you very much. safe travels back to illinois. >> my pleasure, thank you very much. steve: all right it is about a quarter until the top of the hour for you folks who wonder what time it is also time for the headlines with jillian. jillian: good morning we start with this chicago just marked its deadliest day in 60 years. 18 people were murdered on sunday, may 31 during the height of george floyd protests. the chicago sun-times reports the previous single day high was 13, that was set back in 1991. among those killed were two 18-year-old students and a father of two from washington visiting family. 25 people were killed over three days, making it chicago's deadliest weekend in modern history. >> the secretary of the army is open to renaming the 10 bases still named after confederal generals. this marks an about-face for the army with top brass saying in february it isn't going to address any of the
5:46 am
names. some were named in the spirit of forgiveness after the civil war and not in support of ideology. we'll keep you updated. >> today the u.s. soccer federation will discuss calls from the national women's team to end the ban on kneeling during the national anthem. the policy was added, and the federation could vote on the repeal as soon as friday and if approved the ban be lifted immediately. >> the first american woman to walk in space just reached a new low. what do you mean you're asking? well i'll tell you kathy sullivan becoming the first woman to visit the ocean's deepest point. she's the eighth person to ever visit the challenger deep, which sits nearly seven miles below sea level off the coast of the philippines and sullivan celebrated by calling her colleagues on the international space station. those are your headlines i'll send it back to you. ainsley: pretty amazing thanks so much jillian. let's hand it over to janice. we're watching the storms. >> janice: yes, tropical depression cristobal, and the fact it's still a depression
5:47 am
across the central plains is quite remarkable as we go through the next 12-24 hours, we still could see that depression intact, as it moves across the upper midwest, the great lakes and the state of wisconsin if we have a depression in the state of wisconsin, that will be the first time we have seen a named depression move through that state. tropical storm the remnants of tropical storms do move through areas across the plain states in the upper midwest but it is quite rare. now we do have a cold front that's going to push in and associate with this depression. it's actually going to bump those winds up considerably so we could see or feel wind gusts in excess of 40 or 50 miles per hour, gale forced winds across the great lakes so not only heavy rain, strong winds but severe storms as well as we track what's left of cristobal. back to you steve, ainsley and brian. brian: all right, great job, janice we appreciate you all morning. meanwhile, we move ahead. his story of survival is
5:48 am
incredible. a navy seal shot 27 times by four al qaeda fighters hit by grenade shrapnel as well and he killed all four, but first let's check in with ed henry for what's on top of the hour for the next three hours following us. ed: brian good to see you good morning friends president trump declares that defunding and dismantling the police will never happen on his watch. some democrats though are moving forward anyway. a warning at the top of the hour on how crime maybe about to spike, meanwhile one of nancy pelosi's lt.s will john us to defend the justice and police reform bill which mitt romney says is a part of legislation going nowhere fast plus what will happen to the stock market if joe biden wins the white house, maria bartiromo on a brand new wall street analysis showing taxes will go up and those recent gains in the s&p? say farewell, i hope you'll say hello to sandra and me, top of the hour. see you then. your cells. trillions of them.

qaeda fighters in iraq and he was hit with a grenade but not even that could stop him, joining us right now is that hero retired navy seal, mike day , author of brand new book comes out to the called " perfectly wounded" along with his service dog, hera. mike good morning to you real pleasure to meet you. >> nice to meet you guys too. brian already yesterday had an interview so it's good to talk to him too. steve: all right, so i found that out. so let's go back to that day in 2007 you kicked down a door in f allu jah, you're immediately hit by 27 bullets, grenade shrapnel, you pass out, you wake up and use a broken pistol to take those four al qaeda terrorists down, and i know the number one thing that you are asked all the time. what does it feel like to be shot 27 times? >> yeah, i was there. i really don't believe it.
5:54 am
my memory sometimes i wonder if i'm making them up because it was frame-by-frame. it was like in the movie matrix, but the sensation, although i haven't been hit by a sledgehammer it felt like 10 dudes beating me up by sledgehammers. steve: unbelievable so you called in for assistance, a chopper came and picked you up but you made sure it was at a safe distance. they took you back to base, but you died in the chopper, and you came back. >> that's not quite what happened, steve. nobody saw me go in the room. i was knocked unconscious by the grenade, so i couldn't respond to the calls. they left the house so that they could neutralize the target with an overhead asset. i was put together back in baghdad overnight and then the flight to germany i flat lined three times and had to be resuscitated. steve: okay, you say, this book
5:55 am
is fantastic, everybody should read it. you say the real challenge came after you left the service and you tried to pick up your life. explain. >> when i got out i worked as essentially a social worker which i think i was better at than being a navy seal so being around that i probably handled upwards of 400 cases of people that were severely injured or ill, and being around a lot of people's lives every day, the worst days of their lives trying to fix it was a very weighting job to have. i give social workers that have to deal with families that have such terrible problems going on and there's a lot. my parents weren't the best parents either, far from it. so it's an experience, i'm sorry , steve go ahead. i'm go off on tangents you have to keep me on track. steve: no, no, listen, people have got to pick-up the book
5:56 am
because it is fantastic. once again it's called of perfectly wounded" a memoire about what happens after a miracle and it's a miracle you're alive today and mike day, we thank you very much for your service. >> thanks for having me great talking to you guys. steve: indeed, thank you, sir. we'll be right back. kelcee loves how essential oils help her chill and now she has those same scents in the laundry room ahh... new gain with essential oils detergent
