"fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ steve: good morning, everybody. it is wednesday, june 10th, 2020. as officials push defunding the police. a new ally is emerging, that is congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. she is urging her colleagues don't back down, double down, ainsley. ainsley: yeah. she is. the issue will take center stage in washington today in just a few hours the house judiciary committee is going to hold a hearing on police reform, brian. brian: yup it, will feature testimony from george floyd's brother and the white house is working on its own plan for

reform. they are not sitting this out. griff jenkins has more on who might be leading this charge for the administration. griff, as well on the senate side. griff: yeah, brian, anxiously and steve, good morning. we are about to see a charged atmosphere i believe on capitol hill today. the house lawmakers in the house judiciary committee taking over the justice and policing issue. now they are, as you mentioned, going to hear from george floyd's brother and niece. they will hear from benjamin crump who in prepared remarks will decry what he calls, quote the brother mood of police officers which fosters systemic racism and abuse. in all, 12 witnesses are appearing. appearing groh pro-law enforcement voices art and former nypd dan bongino. this may be the first hearing to get a better definition of what defund the police means. creating a debate and create aing a lot of pressure for the lawmakers. alexandria ocasio-cortez weighed

in on twitter talking about not backing down and saying, quote, by the i think that people are scrambling to repackage this to make it palatable to largely affluent, white suburban swing voters again points to how much more electoral and structural power these communities have for rellaive to others just for awareness. cutting or redirecting funding for police departments. this as the president stands steadfastly behind police and the white house is working with g.o.p. senator tim scott to develop the republicans' response to the problems in a plan of their own. chief of staff mark meadows told reporters that he was hopeful in addressing the issues with, quote: a real way. following the meeting he had with senator scott. however, specifics of what the president is looking for isn't clear at this point. the house, we know, a little bit of what is in there say they will bring their reform package to the house floor in about two

weeks' time. we know that includes choke holds among other things. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: thank you very much for the live report from our nation's capital. sounds like jim jordan the congressman from ohio is work on the house version of it. it will be interesting to see what happens. regarding aoc and what she said about beware of the democrats trying to repackage, defund the police movement, that comes ons heals, anxiously and brian, of a conference call apparently democrats had where think warned about getting sucked in to the debate about defunding police because the worry is that that would impact modern voters in swing districts it. comes down to politics. it's full steam ahead to the white house. jerome smith deputy assistant to the president was on our channel last night with sean talking about what the white house is doing to fix the problems that so many people are complaining about right now. >> no one hates bad police more

than good cops. good cops want to have a great police force that they put out reports, had commissions on the proper way to enhance our ability to do law enforcement. and to we're going going to at this point to partner with them. we also understand the page of the community. that's why we are also working with community leaders to make sure that we can figure out the right approach that's going to actually produce outcomes. that's what president trump is all about. producing outcomes. not just talking about it but being -- bringing the right stakeholders together to make a lasting impact. steve: and, ainsley, yesterday mark meadows said that the white house wanted to come up with some new rules regarding police sooner than later. ainsley: mark meadows the man you just heard from there jaaron smith deputy distant to the president. jared kushner and tim scott. tim scott is putting a lead on this. putting a group together to come up with proposals from the legislative side for police

reform. the president says he is going to work with them on the executive side to come up with proposals. some of the things they are going to be talking about today in front of the house judiciary committee because they're looking at all 18,000 police departments across our country. and some of the topics, techniques that require manipulation of the neck. peace officers who are watching. they see something that's going wrong, they have to immediately intervene and then they have to report misconduct. there is crisis intervention training that they're talking about implementing at the police stations. descalating training. cultural competence and, brian, release of the body camera videos. brian: yeah. good point. and these are some of the things that are going to be involved. do you know what i'm getting? there is a lot of overlap between the two proposals. this is a lot of gray area between them. this is something that can be worked out they can put something together unless people say well, the selection coming up in five months i think we deserve full credit for police reform. i'm a little fascinated to seat "wall street journal" say does a study along with nbc they do a

poll most americans do believe that discrepancy the way african-americans are treated by law enforcement as opposed to whites. and they do think that something beyond george floyd's issue, there is something endemic within law enforcement that needs to be addressed. as long as law enforcement is at the table, we might be able to get something that's effective and not something that's political. and you see in a lot of pushback now. right now law enforcement has been the pin cushion for everyone just to target and say this is the problem with race relations in america. it's all law enforcement. that is not the case. we all know it's not the case. the pba president mike owe mere a who will be joining us a little bit later unleashed and let everybody know that we're human beings. let's listen. >> everybody is trying to shame us into being embarrassed about our profession. you know what? this is insane by someone in minneapolis. it's still got a shine on it. and so do theirs. so do theirs stop treating us

like thugs. we deserve respect. we rungsdly reject what he did as disgusting. it's disgusting. it's not what we do. it's not what police officers do. our legislators abandoned us. the press is vilifying us. well, you know what, guys? i'm proud to be a cop. and i'm going to continue to be proud to be a cop until the day i retire. and that's all i have to say. [applause] [cheers] brian: man, he speaks for so many people out there who have police officers in the family or related to them. best friends with them. , retired, whatever. i don't feel that way about law enforcement. i have know you guys don't feel that way about law enforcement. you would never think that by what's happening in the press. i think it's good he had a chance to sound off. that's why people like mike owe

meira are at the table and maybe expand the academy, change the curriculum. make things better for the men and women out there because very few are going to be looking to put on the uniform shortly because they don't do it for the money and they don't do for the fame and now they are going to be vilified. he is going be coming up a little bit later, steve? steve: he will at 7:30 eastern time so it will be great to talk to him. there are about 375 million interactions between police and the general public and absolutely gigantic amount of them, the giant proportion of them are obviously very positi positive. steve: did talk about police brutality and where they go from here. last night it was all about

largely about the durham investigation, ainsley and an update on where we are in it he, mr. durham has not been slowed down by the coronavirus. his investigators have been working and it's looking into the origins of the russia investigation and whether or not the fbi cut some corners and some shenanigans behind the scenes to get those fisa applications approved. ainsley: yeah. let's listen to some of that interview and chat about it on the other side. >> this does 23409 involve looking at president obama or vice president biden. i think the people that we're looking at are not at that level. and i think. bret: what names would we be familiar with. >> some of them. for the first time in american history police organizations and the national security organizations were used to spy on a campaign and there was no basis for it. bret: new 20 characterize the durham report as you know it now, is it going to be eye-opening for americans? >> i'm very troubled by what has been called to my attention so

far. but i'm not going to characterize it beyond that. ainsley: talking about the russia investigation. the theme that he kept repeating to bret was there was not enough evidence for them to keep moving forward and they did. he said before the election the concern was motive. they ignored all the exculpatory evidence. and then the evidence remained intense after the election. it was painfully obvious there was little basis. then after not having anything for some reason, they went back in. brian. brian: yeah. so, i'm very curious to see how the american people will be paying attention. number one, i think it's important as we get ready four years later to elect -- have another presidential election to find out what happened in 2016. i cannot believe we are at this point at this point. but i think it's almost comical, laughable when democrats say why are republicans so obsessed with 2016 and the russia investigation. really? we heard that for three years. that's all we ever heard despite what was in the news is about

how donald trump didn't legitimately win this election. now we are trying to unwind what went into the investigation. and you hear so many people say well, why are we so focused on that. well now i guess level the playing field. i think it's going to be really important. because the house has no interest in this is for lindsey graham and others to have pointed questions when brennan, when mccabe and others are brought up in front of them and ron johnson, to be able to say answer these questions. once and for all instead of talking at each other, talk right to the subject. and see if they have the answers to what durham was able to find out. the problem they have is vilifying durham is going to be an issue from eric holder on down people really respect him. he really impressed on both sides of the aisle. going to be hard to marginalize his findings, steve. steve: you have got to figure we are talking about a lot of lawyers involved. and suddenly a lot of kind of hazy memories that's not exactly

how i remember it. i'm sure some people will get in trouble. but the whole facade has been regarding the russia thing has been, you know, you look at mueller, you look at clapper, both of them said there was no collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. we know that now. but, because they used the fisa courts, the foreign intelligence surveillance act courts, which are secret courts, when things happen in secret courts, we don't know about it until things hit the fan like this. and it finally hit the fan. we never would have known about it had hillary clinton won. but now we do know because durham is trying, ainsley, to bring this to light and figure out who the bad actors were, why they did all that unmasking of michael flynn and others in the administration all at once. it looks fishy. and, you know, sounds like sooner than later we are going to know what happened. ainsley: republicans want answers before the election. if donald trump doesn't get in office. people wonder what will happen to this investigation.

durham, he said the durham team has been working very aggressively to move forward and that there will be public disclosure of his findings. let's hand it over to jillian back in the studio. she has more headlines. jillian: we start with this. the former minneapolis officer seen kneeling on george floyd's neck was in talks to plead guilty. our fox minneapolis affiliate reporting federal and state prosecutors were negotiating a possible plea deal with derek chauvin. this is one day before his arrest. now, it's not clear why talks fell through. this as a former co-worker claims chauvin and floyd had run-ins when they worked security together at a nightclub. >> has a lot to do with derek being extremely aggressive within the club with some of the patrons, which was an issue. jillian: another worker said she felt chauvin was afraid and intimidated by black people. we will continue to follow that today the hulls of cult mom lori

valuvallow is heading to court. performing autopsy state of ohio find out if the remains belong to vallow's missing children. you see them there j.j. and a r. they have been missing since september. the rnc has tentatively picked jacksonville, florida, to host the event. former florida attorney general pam bondi joined me earlier on "fox & friends first" and she says it's a smart move. >> in florida, we know how to handle a convention. we have done it. we have done it successfully. florida is open for business. we're cautious. our governor is having everyone be cautious. jillian: president trump called to move the august convention from charlotte after north carolina's governor wouldn't lift certain coronavirus restrictions. two statues of christopher columbus destroyed in two major cities overnight.

steve: the city of chicago marking its deadliest day in six decades. 60 years. 18 people murdered in 24 hours on may 31st. next guest says violence has set the black community back decades. joining us now to explain is pastor corey brooks of the new beginnings church of chicago and ceo of project hood. pastor, good morning to you. what's going on in chicago? >> good morning. well, we are experiencing some tough times right now. chicago, we just got through the looting of a lot of stores and as a consequence, there is a lot of people on the south side of chicago and the west side of chicago that are predominantly black that are without pharmacies, without grocery stores. so essentials that some people need and that's unfortunate. steve: you say the act of the rioting and looting set back

that community decades. explain that. >> absolutely. we worked hard to get businesses to come to the south side of chicago. and west side of chicago. now that the looting has returned a lot of stores won't want to return like wall matters and targets. the mayor was reaching out to make sure for them to come back. it's very difficult for them to come back. insurance costs are going to rise and those prices are going to be passed on to consumers. so, the tax abatements is going to be alleviated if they don't come back and make things very tough for our community to have an economic foundation. steve: sure, as we look at some of the looting on the screen next to you, pastor. obviously there was a lot of property damage. but you also say there has been a lot of damage to the morale of the people of those neighborhoods. >> yeah a lot of people lost their jobs. and i don't think a lot of people understand that. these are families that you are

talking about. these are individuals that go to work every single day to try to make a living to take care of their families. and now those jobs are gone. we already experienced some of the highest unemployment in the country. the last thing we need is for families not to be able to take care of themselves and so the morale is very low. but i'm hoping that somehow we can turn it around by convincing these companies to stay and allowing these people to have jobs because they are very much needed. steve: at the same time, pastor, everybody realizes there is a lot of outrage on the streets regarding what happened to george floyd, right? >> absolutely and there should be. let me say that there should be a lot of outrage. we should protest. it's our first amendment right. but never should we move that protest in looting because it only hurts us. it only destroys the things that we are striving so hard to advance in our community. so, i'm hoping and praying that we can turn things around. i'm hoping and praying that somehow some way these companies will be convinced to stay.

and to provide wages so that people can take care of their families. steve: pastor, before did you go. i know that you interact with the community each and every day. the president and the white house and the congress trying to figure out what to do regarding new police reforms. you see it every day. what's your suggestion? >> well, we definitely need police reform. we can't dismantle the police and we should not defund the police. we definitely need reform. i am hoping there will be more transparency cameras more available to the public. i'm hoping police will become more involved in the communities than they have been. not just coming when there is raids or criminal activity but being a part of community but there is definitely reform that has to take place and i think that's something that is shown on both the left and the right. and we have to find the common ground by bringing police to the table. communities to the table. politicians to the table.

we have to make sure that we reform the police department. they are not all bad police. there are some good police officers and we need to stand by those good officers but we also need to reform the system. steve: all right. pastor corey brooks, we appreciate you joining us from chicago. >> thank you. appreciate it. steve: straight ahead the world health organization trying to clarify their comments on monday but the asymptomatic spread of coronavirus. virus spread by people with no symptoms. but dr. nicole saphier says we have all been mislead by the w.h.o. all along. she is going to join us next. epclusa treats all main types of chronic hep c. whatever your type, epclusa could be your kind of cure. i just found out about mine. i knew for years. epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate. i had no symptoms of hepatitis c

carriage. clear side panels, showing the golden casket inside as george floyd was brought to his final resting place, again here at the houston memorial gardens. ainsley? ainsley: thank you, casey. all right, brian, over to you. brian: all right. that is one major story and here's another. the world health organization getting called out for comments this week about the asymptomatic spread of covid-19. >> we have a number of reports from countries doing detailed contact tracing. following contacts and not finding secondary transmission onward, very rare. brian: really? but just one day after saying very rare and knocking everyone off their axis she kind of back tracked. >> there are a subset of people who don't develop symptoms. and to truly understand how many people don't have symptoms, we

actually don't have that answer yet. we do know some people who are asymptomatic or some people who don't have symptoms can transmit the virus on. brian: here to react to make sense of it all, i hope, is the author of "make america healthy again" dr. nicole saphier. always great to see you. great book. >> thank you, brian. brian: get in your head and your expertise around the backtracking which really wasn't a backtracking. it actually confused me more. >> well, brian, here's the thing with the world health organization from day one we have been having misinformation. in the beginning though all of their information came from china, which is why a lot of information was false. now the information is coming from many countries around the world and including the united states. it makes for bad optics what happened earlier this week how they kind of flip flopped but they didn't really flip flopped. what they essentially said is asymptomatic spread which is the biggest thing that i have been concerned about for the last couple of months, they are saying asymptomatic spread has less transmission than we

originally thought. there is more likely you are going to get this virus from those that are symptomatic. what they had to clarify, brian. was the difference between asymptomatic spread and preasymptomatic spread so cases are saying about 16% of individuals will get covid-19 virus but never get symptoms at all. what she was saying is people without symptoms are still able to spread the virus. we know that's true. but those are moe more ever the presymptomatic people meaning they're not having symptoms initially but they do eventually get symptoms. we know they shed virus because of multiple studies. bottom line, brian, the good news is asymptomatic spread, people who don't get any symptoms at all are less likely to transmit the virus. that is still edges length news. the reality is there are still people who are going to get symptoms. or maybe there are still people who won't get symptoms at all

who can transmit the virus. it's just much less make sure you are getting outside. if you are sick stay away from each other. it continues to be about the hand hygien high. brian: dr. fauci saying we are not out of this by a long shot. he said oh my goodness we are still at the beginning of really understanding. really? i thought we were in the at the end of understanding and the beginning of a vaccine. >> i feel much more confident now than we did months ago when we knew nothing. right now we know so much more about this virus. it's highly transmissible. a period of asymptomatic. a period of not having symptoms before you have symptoms. we know who it effects. it effects the elderly it. effects the vulnerable. and we know it is less likely, rarely transmitted outside.

take that knowledge, move forward. we have over 120 vaccine candidates in the works. we have a lot of therapies in the works. we are in a much better spot now than we were a few months ago. i understand why he makes those comments because this is a highly transmissible virus that has taken over our globe in the last year. this is so different than hiv or ebola or some these other pandemics that we have seen in the past because of just how highly contagious this virus is. one of his quotes was covid-19 more complex than hiv which he spent most of his career focusing on. dr. nicole saphier. thank you very much. i always appreciate your expertise: okay. i assume she said goodbye in some ways. chaos at the polls. primary ballot bit that line for hours. is this a sign of things to come

bringing his delegate total to 2136. lindsey graham getting the republican nomination in the great state of south carolina. let's bring in georgia's g.o.p. congressman doug collins house judiciary committee member and u.s. senate candidate in georgia. good morning to you. >> good morning, everybody. hope you all are well. ainsley: we are during great. thank you. got a call from my dad last night. he had just left his precinct. they combined five precincts in his town in south carolina all in to my old high school. dad said he waited three hours and 15 minutes. people were irate. people were there at the polls until 10:00 p.m. last night he said. he did meet a lot of nice people in line he said and had great conversations. this happened in georgia as well. you got those new voting machines. touch screen machines. people were complaining because they were in line for three hours plus there, too. the problem is the worry is november 3rd. what do you say about it? >> well, again, what we are seeing again in georgia is what we have seen in previous elections. again, countie county have the responsibility for putting up

and setting up elections as they go and putting enough voting machines. having enough trained workers and getting that done. it's scerng to me in metro areas we seem to have the same problems over and over again. i voted on these machines early did touch screen now pass the paper component to it. make sure that we are doing better training. we are doing better locations and remembering that the people like to come out and vote. people do like your dad like to come out and actually vote in person. it's a part of our pride, measures to be part of elections. we have got to do better planning and training. it seems like we always in georgia seem to come up with the same counties in same areas same problems no matter what the machines are. brian: i don't know who is going to take responsibility and fix it. stacey abrams still claiming she won in georgia. so we will have to see and in the governor's election. switch gears and talk about another area of your expertise and that is the whole russia investigation. the attorney general recused himself sessions and then in

comes rod rosenstein. we know that rod rosenstein was a crossing guard for the mueller report. and now we have a.g. barr in there and he is having a chance to really evaluate what was happening. here's what he said was going on with the fbi leading up to the 2016 election. >> before the election i think we are concerned about the mode of force behind the very aggressive investigation launched into the trump campaign with a very thin slender read as a basis for it. it seemed that the spring loaded at the end of july to drive in there. and investigated a campaign after the election even though they were closing down. for some reason they went right at it. becoming painfully obvious or should have been obvious to anyone that there was nothing there. brian: it's easy for a

politician to say that's the president i want and take sides. ag goes in and says what the hell is going on here. what are you getting from that. >> what i'm getting is we were right in. this brian, we have been talking about this for a long time you said rosenstein being a crossing guard he was complicit. he will signed these things he admitted he probably dngtsd read them and go into them. we see what attorney general barr just said this was a coordinated effort before the campaign to get donald trump because they didn't like him and when he became the candidate and presumptive nominee before the election when he was the nominee, they continued the process and they were just doing everything to derail the candidacy. after he won they is said we couldn't influence the election now we will discredit his presidency. durham, i'm looking forward to seeing what he comes out with because i do believe people held accountable. if they're not held accountable. what keeping future people who have a future agenda at duong or fbi to doing this to somebody

else or to you or to me? steve: that's the problem with secret courts. they are secret. 10:00 this morning you, congressman, will be there at the house judiciary committee, george floyd's brother is set to testify. when you look at the official point of view about the democrats they have ideas about police reform. none of them involve defunding the police. i would imagine the republicans feel the same way. >> exactly. defunding the police is just -- you know, it's not even a rational idea. an idea designed to stoke fears and stoke the passion that is not coordinated or responsive to the american needs. what we need to have today though and what's really disturbing to me is we have worked together before to make sure that criminal justice reform, first step act, my bill and others that we put forward to the president again was a combined effort between democrats and republicans. i want to see that happen here and i want to see us be able to work with the white house and the senate and house actually come up with the reform and also to help that we make our police forces stronger. as a son of a state trooper i

believe our law enforcement needs to be stronger and we don't need the bad apples and bad actors who do criminal acts like they did in the george floyd case to be allow toed to stay on police force. we need to make sure our police have what they need but be held accountable as well. ainsley: congressman, we wish you all the best today in that hearing. thank you so much. >> thanks. good to be with you all. take care. ainsley: you are welcome. hand it over to jillian with headlines. jillian: that's right. we begin your headlines with this. the suspect in madeline mccain's disappearance may have been tipped off by hotel worker. madeline's parents leaving hotel room while they ate dinner in portugal. police believe the hotel worker passed on information to a german man about madeline being alone. is he currently behind bars on drug charges. a michigan state trooper rescues unconscious man from a burning truck. watch this. and you will see the brave trooper rushing to the car trying to break open the windows with his baton when that didn't work, he used his hands to push

[laughter] >> than thank you, cheers. >> appreciate it, brad. >> i feel like through the rioting and protest i kind of felt like i was being torn apart. and it was rough. >> wow, look at all those guy tars. >> sorry. you are all right, bro. >> this is what builds it back up. >> paisley joined the two friends from upstate new york in a zoom call. that's awesome. send it back to you. brian: thanks, jillian. reminds me every country music song has a beer in it or reference to it. again, it came up big. congrats brad. ainsley: we like our beer and

our people. brian: you do and don't mind singing about it. ainsley: that's right. brian: speaking of beers and bibles janice dean is here with the weather. janice: the great intros are back. thank you, mr. kilmeade. you know what? we are still talking about this post tropical depression kiss that ball. i will tell you it's the first depression that has ever gone through the state of wisconsin it still has tropical characteristics. it's actually strengthening now because it's interacting with a very strong cold front and area of low pressure behind it. so the potential for not only very strong winds, tropical storm force winds at least we could have the potential for strong to severe storms including tornadoes across the upper midwest and the great lakes. so that's something we are going to have to watch throughout the afternoon and then the storm will lift northward and we will not be talking about cristobal anymore which is great news. but the fact that it has maintained its tropical characteristics this far north

is really historic. all right. steve, ainsley, brian, back to you my friends. steve: well, we won't be talking about cristobal because canadians will because that's where it's headed. janice: true. steve: thank you j.d., very much. 11 minutes before the the top of the hour as calls for police reform grow nationwide. one is urging their police departments to change their training standards. one police chief who is on board with that idea is going to be on with us coming up next. a credit on their auto insurance. because it's the right thing to do. we're also giving payment relief options to eligible members so they can take care of things like groceries before they worry about their insurance 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 discover all the ways we're helping members if you have postmenopausal osteoporosis

ainsley: police departments across mass nasa receiving calls to change enforcement policies. massachusetts requires licensure for over 50 other trades and professions such as barbers, plumbers, electricians, doctors but doesn't require it for police officers. here to discuss is chief barnes worth association of police association. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. how are you? ainsley: good morning. i'm well. chief, thank you so much for your service. i want to ask you about this. there is a new push to change. this are you in favor of it. >> absolutely. we as a chiefs across the state support the move to the post

model without question. ainsley: why do you support it. >> well, it just makes a lot of sense. we have a very disease sprit di. between training program that reinstates officers at times. you know, we need to bring everything under run roof. be able to push out excellent training. we do good training now we can do better and know we k we have as police chiefs been supporting and pushing this for a few years this is a wonderful opportunity for us to move it forward actually spurred on by. they wrote to our governor with that exact issue we reached out and will had excellent meetings trying to move this forward. ainsley: what specifically would you change. after you watched what happened

to george floyd, what would have you done in that situation and what exactly specifically are you trying to change there in massachusetts? >> well, in massachusetts i would say that those techniques and stuff have been -- haven't been approved in a very, very, very longer time. that's not something that we condone in any way, shape, or form and we don't train that way. but, under this model, we would pull everybody under one roof. there would be tracking of constant hours and recertification and ability to decertify should a police officer be removed from one department, they would lose the ability to go to work to another department. right now we have chiefs that have to deal with that on a regular basis that an officer leaves one agency and can try to be employed by another agency. so, it is time to really move forward and embrace the new model. ainsley: yeah. i think everyone agrees. i know everyone agrees what happened to george floyd was all of the and most people agree

talking about this in d.c. today and in the weeks to come. we just need some reform. we do appreciate your service. thank you so much, sir. >> thank you. we appreciate you, too. ainsley: thank you. 55 minutes after the top of the hour. still ahead house minority leader kevin mccarthy and lawrence jones. ♪ ♪ [ engines revving ]

[cheers] >> hundreds of protesters take over seattle's city hall overnight led by a council woman there. the group calling to defund the police department and the mayor to resign, brian. brian: i thought that was a republican talking point. they really want to do it. at least 20 cities cutting support cutting funding for police departments. several attorneys general pushing on the call. montana tim fox no relation saying reckless overreaction to a serious situation. closed quote. steve: about a dozen ags against the defunding. take center stage on d.c. on capitol hill in a couple of hours the house judiciary committee will hold a hearing on police reform after george floyd's death in minneapolis. george floyd's brother is expected to attend. minneapolis and the citizen cities that's where we start our coverage at 7:00 eastern time on

this wednesday, june 10th. and matt finn joins us live. matt? >> today's police brutal hearing seeks to address the crisis of racial profiling and discuss between the police department and comes and republican response to the democrats' police reform package which is expected to hit the house floor in about two weeks that would potentially ban choke holds. create a national police misconduct registry and federal officers to wear body cameras. at today's hearing among the scheduled witnesses george floyd's brother and benjamin crump attorney to the floyd family. different system of justice for black and white americans. a piece of crump's expected testimony today reads, quote: the only reason we know what happened to george floyd is because it was captured on video. it's revealing what black americans have known for a long time that it's dangerous for a black person to have an encounter with a police officer. also, this morning, we're

learning that former minneapolis police officer derek chawnge reportedly was in talks with authorities to plead guilty in the death of george floyd shortly before his arrest but those negotiations apparently fell through. chauvin made his first appearance via video in court on murder charges this monday, but he did not enter a plea. and the atf has also released disturbing new video and images of arson suspects believed to be setting or accelerating fires during the minneapolis riots. the buildings burned including the minneapolis third precinct, a charter school and other businesses. and here in the twin cities, the fallout in the aftermath from those riots and the death of george floyd is continuing. we are talking to local and federal authorities. and we will have update for you throughout the day. back to you guys. ainsley: all right. thank you so much, matt. there are 18,000 police departments across our country and that's why they are meeting in washington, our lawmakers are meeting in washington to discuss reform.

police reform. some of the things they want to change, guys, techniques that require manipulation of the neck. a requirement for peaceful officers, if they are seeing something, they have to immediately intervene and they have to report the misconduct. crisis intervention training. deescalation training. cultural exen tense and bias training and release of body cameras video. the president says he will soon have a list of his proposals from the executive branch. is he going to work with the legislative branch and senator tim scott is heading up that. and he has asked mark meadows and jared kushner an ja' ron sm. he played that video at the 6:00 hour. he says no one hates bad police more than good cops. brian? brian: and i love that the president had the law enforcement forum on monday. here we are on wednesday. great time to end the week maybe with race relations and have an open forum there and listen in on what the president is great

on putting together a diverse panel to hear what the main story is. that should have been the conversation for the last two weeks. but, instead, it's been the riots and the damage adding onto the pandemic. a couple other things they are looking to do those who say republicans are making it up this defund thing it's a distraction. true. joe biden says i don't want to disband the police. guess who is defunding the police. new york city already. los angeles already. guess who is discussing it in a major way, minneapolis. and guess who is scaling back just about every city except san diego went out of their way to defy public opinion it seems or the most vociferous public opinion saying we are adding to it. to me, if you are upset about policing, adding to the academy, adding to training. putting more people out there would work to solving the problem. putting less people with less resources, to me, seems illogical if you want to get better and make this thing -- and make it work, steve. steve: well, you know, brian,

yesterday, alexandria ocasio-cortez came out and she said she warned democrats about trying to repackage the defund police movement to make it more palatable to swing voters. and as it turns out on monday, the democrats had a conference call where they said, you know, that defunding business could be a bridge too far. so we should probably try to make it more palatable to swing voters. and, for instance, it all depends on how they define defunding the police. the mayor of d.c., mayor bowser says people have different means for defunding. she has listened. she thinks most are saying they want reform. and karen bass from the congressional black caucus says communities need investments and that's what defunding the police means. so, we will talk more with kevin mccarthy about this in about 10 minutes. in the meantime "the washington post" this morning has got an exclusive, they have talked to three republicans, according to the story, and the headline is this morning the g.o.p. expects

to move its rnc convention to jacksonville after dispute with north carolina over the pandemic standards. because north carolina governor would not allow all those people in that big room at the same time so the white house made it clear the president did, that he would like to maybe just a little pressure i would like to move it some place elsewhere they would allow it. john roberts tweeted moments ago regarding the wapo story. the officials tell me g.o.p. has not yet settled on an alternate site for the august convention and real donald trump speech top contenders are jacksonville, savannah, nashville, phoenix and dallas. a decision will have to be made very soon, ainsley. ainsley: well, we all love those cities. we don't even know if we're going to get to go. "fox & friends" has probably never missed a convention. you guys have been here since the beginning, right? steve: yes. brian: i think we missed

eisenhower. nchallenge to his candidacy. ainsley: we were all planning on going. since corona hit, now we are not going to north carolina. we hope to be in one of these cities. we will definitely have i'm sure presence there what is it going to look like? how many part-time are going to be able to go? will they be able to get on the floor like they usually do. probably not usually shoulder to shoulder with their signs. we will ask ronna mcdaniel who are the rnc chairwoman. she had this to say. >> serve coming to the table. we have all types of states, 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 are going to have this celebration. it's going to be exciting. i'm really thrilled about it. i have been traveling as well. i will make sure to let you guys know first where we are going -- well, not before the president. [laughter]

brian: right. what she was able to say to us two weeks ago when the president tweeted out if i can't get -- if i can't have a big speech, if we can't get crowds together. why are we having it in north carolina? and the democratic governor basically said so look around. which she also said the rnc chair to us is that we have contracts signed for two years with hotels, with rent acar agencies, with arenas, with facilities. and this is going to be tough to unwind and then you say to yourself, you know, legally this is going to be a mess. this is going to be a mess because have you got to get out of it and prove there is a reason to get out of a lot of these events. and, of course, the president does not want to leave north carolina in a bad note because he desperately needs north carolina to get four more years as presidents of the united states. you wanting to make it about the governor. not about the people. but florida, jacksonville, they have to answer this question. do you have enough for hotels. do you have enough rent acars?

can you handle a surge of people coming in that area? i would say the answer would be yes. they already pulled off a super bowl. they can pull off an rnc. steve: well, you know, brian, "the washington post" story says that they would continue to have portions of the convention, the rnc convention in charlotte to live up to the law -- you know, the letter of the contract. but the big celebratory part would be in jacksonville. and regarding your question, brian, which is a great point, what about hotels. one of the local stations in jacksonville this morning is reporting that the week of august 25th through the 28th, all of the most prestigious hotels are booked solid. so that could be a clue. because they would book, you know, room blocks ahead of the announcement just to make sure everybody is able to go there. but what's interesting about this is if they do decide on jacksonville, in florida, florida still has that if you are from new york, new jersey, or connecticut, and you come to

visit, you first have to quarantine yourself for two weeks. so that could keep the new york press from going to jacksonville, unless the, you know, the governor changes the standard right now. but it would be interesting whether or not they do that. so, when kayleigh mcenany comes up here in a little bit. we will ask her about the very latest regarding moving to the whole shebang to jacksonville, florida, ainsley. ainsley: all right. well, let's move on and talk about the world health organization because there was some confusion. one of the epidemiolog epidemios talking about asymptomatic transmission. very rare that if you are asymptomatic you are going to be able to transmit it to someone else. well then she back tracked and had to clarify. listen to this. >> we have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing. they are following asymptomatic cases. they are following contacts and they're not finding secondary transmission. it's very rare.

>> we actually don't have that answer yet. we do know some people who are asymptomatic or some people who don't have symptoms can transmit the virus on. brian: i was stunned by. this a lot of people floored by. this because we heard don't go see your grandparents. don't go see your senior aunt because if you are carrying the symptoms, you could kill them because they are older and obviously more susceptible to the virus. even though you feel great. you test negative. well, we don't have a test. don't have a fever. you stay away. now they say asymptomatic it's hard to transfer. then they say when it comes to services wow. have you got to wipe down everything. well then again we are not really sure. dr. fauci yesterday comes out and says there is so much we don't even know about the virus we are a long way from getting out of woods with it. dr. nicole saphier weighed in. >> from day one we have been having misinformation. in the beginning though, all of their information came from china which is why a lot of the information was false. now, the information is coming

from many countries around the world including the united states. the good news is asymptomatic spread, people who don't get any stoomsz asymptoms at all are ley to transmit the virus. that is still excellent news. the reality is there are still people who are going to get symptoms. or maybe they are still people that won't get symptoms at all who can transmit the virus. it is just much less. brian: all i'm saying is i understand staying healthy and 100,000 people lost their lives and it's tragic. i get it. but just so you understand, while the scientists are working it out, we are losing 25,000 retail stores will not open again. there are so many people that have lost their livings and their livelihoods. the coronavirus restrictions have devastated black business owners. they are down 41% of black business owners since the pandemic hit. so, while the scientists work it out and push and pull, we are paying a huge economic personal

psychological price. they have to get their act together. and i think they got to do a much better job and watching what they say and because legislators respond to it. because they don't want to be caught. and businesses respond to it because they don't want to be sued. enough said. steve: and that part of the government, the cdc, and the nih. those are the ones we have funded for decades to make sure that they have, you know, the very latest information. but like you quoted dr. fauci, brian. there is so much we don't know. it is deadly to certain parts of the population. have you got to be careful and protect the vulnerable. what's interesting about the w.h.o. official who walked things back. initially the monday comments were based on facts. and then when she came and walked it back yesterday, it was based on modeling. and we know that the models over the last six months have not

necessarily turned out to be true. i did see one bit of good news and that is the common wealth of virginia. the governor there announced yesterday that they will have in class school for children k through 12 starting as early as this summer and definitely in the fall. so they will have kids in the classroom in virginia. ainsley: we are praying for it too here. i just wanted to add one more thing to the w.h.o. story because yesterday when we heard everyone was so excited oh if you are asymptomatic you can't spread it. and then we heard oh, maybe that's not the case it changed. i have been listening to all these epidemiolog endeem justs . i still didn't understand. brian: neither do i. ainsley: she had the best clarification i felt. she said stu are asymptomatic you are less likely to transmit. if you are pretom is a presymptc haven't seen symptoms yet but

about to you can be spreading it in the early stages. that's what that lady at the w.h.o. meant. do you feel better? brian: okay. thank you. but it was a better explanation. i'm so confused. my head is going to explode. ainsley: i know. i know. let's hand it over to jillian who is in the studio who has headlines for us. jillian: i understood you. ainsley: thank you. jillian: attorney general bill barr sounding off from the ongoing probe to the origins of the russia investigation. >> publicly made clear that does not involve looking at president obama or vice president biden. bret: what names would we be familiar with? >> some of them. i'm very 2rub8d by what has been called to my attention so far. i'm not going to characterize it beyond that. jillian: barr wouldn't give a time line this for releasing the findings in exclusive interview with bret baier. he says his team are aggressively moving forward.

tomorrow the hulls of cult mom lori vallow heading to court. police arresting chad daybell after finding remains in his backyard. performing autopsy to find out if the remains belonging to vallow's missing children who have been missing since september. the stay-at-home order is lifted in new jersey. governor phil murphy also increasing the number of people allowed at indoor religious gatherings from 10 to 50. by june 22nd the governor is expected to increase the number of people at outdoor convenience to 250. it could be bumped up by 500 by early july. new jersey has been under a stay-at-home order since march. for the first time ever an african-american will lead a u.s. military branch. four star general charles brown unanimously confirmed by the senate as the next air force chief of staff. brown is a combat pilot who has served in the air force for 36 years. president trump who nominated brown in march tweeting, quote:

historic day for america. excited to work even more closely with general brown, who is a patriot and great leader. that is a look at your head lines. i will send it back to you. steve: great. brian: all right. congratulations to him. meanwhile, let me tell you what's coming up straight ahead. in a few hours the house will hold a hearing on police reforms. one of the witnesses is a close friend of house minority leader kevin mccarthy. he will share her powerful story with us next.

her brother patrick was a federal official, an officer who was shot and killed while on duty during protests. our next guest is a friend of angela's. here with more on her story is house minority leader kevin mccarthy joining us from d.c. leader, good morning to you. tell us about angela jacobs and her story and her brother. >> angela is an amazing woman. she served on the city council in a city i represented in lancaster. she even thought about running for congress for a short time period well loved throughout her community. activist within her community. and she got the sad news like others where she lost her brother patrick who was a federal officer protecting a federal building who was shot and killed during those protests she is going to come and speak to the committee today about her loss just like the floyd's' loss as well. the senseless murders that have taken place during this time period. this is a moment where this nation is grieving. angela is grieving.

the floyd family is yeefing. i grieve for them and this is a moment that we can listen and strive to be that more perfect union. and i hope her words that she speaks today, that both sides will listen to them and take them into consideration as we move forward on what best to accomplish our goals. steve: right. exactly. a lot of people, you are absolutely right. have not heard the story of her brother being shot and killed during the protest. leader mccarthy, let me ask you a little bit about a story that i read, apparently on monday, the house democratic leadership had a conference call and said hey, you know, this whole defund police thing is a bridge too far, because it's an election year and we could lose moderate voters in swing districts. what do you say about that? >> those are the exact same words i heard nancy pelosi say about impeachment and then she moved forward or medicare for all. those are things that they start to say before they surrender to the socialists. this movement of defunding the

police through the democratic party is stronger than impeachment ever was medicare for all. they are already taking actions on it. cities are already doing that that's the last thing you want to happen and perpetuate the problem more. we should be providing more money for training. look at the study chiefs of police 80 percent said there is a greater need for training. we want the very best officers out there we should provide better training and transparency. fbi where individuals can put into data sheet only 45% of the departments participate in that. and then you want accountability. 99% of all officers believe and put their life on the line to protect and serve us what about 1% of bad apples. you have have to have a procedure to remove those individuals. if we have better performance and trans

(sill and better accountability, we will have a much better solution to this problem. steve: there certainly is a lot of anger on the streets with what happened to george floyd. >> rightfully so. steve: are you confident that both sides, republicans and democrats can find common ground to come up with some sort of a solution because this is a problem. >> i know we can come to common ground. this is a problem bigger than even the floyd family. these are things that have happened that were not on videotape. this is a moment in time that people should work together to strive to solve the problem. i will tell you the george family they deserve justice. and no other family should have to go through this again. to the protesters, they have a right to be heard but do those people who were looting and antifa individuals, there should be consequences for those actions. this nation believes in the rule of law that no one should be judged based upon the color of their skin and nobody should be

judged based upon the color of their uniform, either. that's what we should work together in principle to make sure at the end of the day the thing that we have all believed is that we strive for a more perfect union and we can do that. we are americans. we believe in the ideas of what created our nation. we can strive to perfect those and this is our moment in time to do it. steve: all right. house minority leader kevin mccarthy joining us from capitol hill. sir, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: all right. meanwhile, straight ahead, george floyd laid to rest yesterday in houston after an emotional final farewell inside a jam-packed church. texas native lawrence jones joins us next to reflect on the george floyd service right here on "fox & friends." ♪

and they tuned in for his final farewell from his hometown of houston, texas yesterday either on tv or livestream. the reverend al sharpton eulogized floyd saying quote god took the rejected stone and made him the corner stone of a movement that's going to change the whole wide world. in a taped message that was played former vice president joe biden calling george floyd's daughter brave daddy is looking down and proud of you. not many dry eyes in the house as many of floyd's family fought back their own tears at the podium. >> everybody gonna remember him around the world. he is going to change the world. >> i love you and i thank god for giving you as my own personal superman. >> following the service, a 12-mile long funeral procession from the church to the cemetery. thousands and thousands of

people lined the streets in triple digital temperatures just to catch a glimpse of the motorcade. folks decorated the route with flowers, ribbons and signs. and about a mile from the cemetery, george floyd's golden casket was transferred from the hears into a horse drawn carriage where it made the final journey to the houston memorial garden cemetery where he was laid to rest next to his mother sissy a woman as we all know he cried out for in that video in the final moments of his life. brian? brian: yeah. it was emotional yesterday. i was doing "the five" and i had a chance to see that go over to ainsley. ainsley: thank you, brian. so much. joining us with his reflection on yesterday's memorial service is fox news analyst lawrence jones. hey, lawrence. >> hey, ainsley. ainsley: good morning. we do remember george and hopefully our country will change as a result and he won't

die in vain. what are your thoughts as you were watching the service yesterday? >> starting off being someone from texas it was very heart-warming to see familiar faces in the crowd. gospel singers that i grew up with as you know my mom is a pastor. in our community, we don't have funerals we have home going celebrations. i asked people on social media why the celebration? why the celebration? we believe, in the black community, those of that's are believers, that this is not our final resting place yeah, your body may be in the ground but your soul is with christ if you accepted him in your heart it was breathtaking to see something i grew up with during this tragic time being celebrated. one of the speakers said something that is quite profound.

there has been a lot of the talk about mr. floyd's background and his past record he said something that really stuck with me. you know, we don't celebrate george floyd because he was perfect. we are aware of things that may have happened and may have transpired in his life. but we celebrate him because he took his last breath. when he took that last breath, many of us will be able to breathe. that goes back to this has been the turning point in this country for a lot of people. as i say many times the majority of cops do their job with honor and distinction. but, there are some bad apples. and for a while, a lot of people did not see that. but this case exposed a lot of things. and, you know, i always tell people we have to advocate from justice -- for justice from the womb to the tomb, and i understand people may have their issues with how this case has

been presented but i think the majority of americans fought for justice and this is a turning point for them. ainsley: you said at the beginning of the segment you said the black community believes if you accept christ you are going to heaven and you will be reunited with your loved ones, with jeessments the beauty of christianity or faith is that we have our beliefs and we are united under those beliefs. >> that's right. >> any christian around the world believes that same thing. and maya angelou said we are more alike than we are different. did you see that part of the service when i'm not sure if it was his aunt or his sister said i guess it was his sister because she said i can see my grandmother in heaven opening her arms and welcoming him into heaven and i thought i can't wait to see my grandmother again. >> it's a beautiful thing and as you know, as a believer ainsley,

a few hours. todd? todd: steve, good morning, captain. david done was shot and killed while working security at private pawnshop. that funeral set for today. last night hundreds came to show their respects to the man that served and protected st. louis for 38 years. >> if you were looking for a man of faith, a man of joy, and a man of leadership, that was officer done. >> he was a gentleman of all gentlemens. he was stern, he was polite, was overall good person. >> mike parson also came to pay his respects presenting dorn's family. his son spoke last week about the impact of such a big loss. >> the numbing feeling that came over my body and i just like boy

i can't believe. >> cannon is charged in dorn's murder same the same night 55 residence were burglarized. he served on the police force before he retired in 2007. he became chief of moline acres a small town in saint lewis, county. friends described him as bigger than life. steve, ainsley and brian, back to you. ainsley: heart-breaking. thank you so much, todd. the president of the new york state police benevolent association delivering a very passionate message to the media and to lawmakers accusing them of vilifying the police. listen. >> i am not derek chauvin. they are not him. he killed someone. we didn't. the legislators, the press, everybody is trying to shame us into being embarrassed about our profession.

stop treating us like animals and thugs and start treating us with some respect. brian: never before has one person spoken for so many in my mind and it's mike o'meara and he joins us now. mike, how much do you think you reflected the feeling among men and women in blue with that speech yesterday? >> i think i reflected a lot of what the police are thinking in this in my state in new york, in the country whale we do mourn for mr. floyd and horrific. we also want everybody to know that we are not the enemy. we are portrayed in the press and everyone else as the enemy. we want people to know that we take our jobs seriously. we are professional. the vast, vast majority of the time we act appropriately and

honorably and that's what we do and that's not being portrayed right now in the media and in the world. steve: mike, that's why you spoke out so passionately about it yesterday. how has what happened with that officer who did what he did to george floyd in minneapolis, how has that brought scrutiny not only to the minneapolis police department but to your job every day? >> oh, it's -- it's been the scrutiny that has been brought on the police officers in new york state, first of all, the scrutiny that we had before was enormous. people don't understand that our police department investigators, local das, investigators, the state attorney general investigates us. the federal government investigates us. the notion that police are not investigated and we're some wild organization out there, you know, doing what we wish is just

a falsehood and that's why i think it's important. and thank you for having me on. we need people to understand that we are under scrutiny. 99.999% of our members act honorably every day and we take what we do seriously. what happened to mr. floyd we don't ever -- we don't want that to happen. we don't ever want it to happen again i agree with the protesters. i don't ever want that to happen again. i thought that was horrific. ainsley: mike, when i watched that speech over and over last night on fox news and then this morning on "fox & friends first" i was listening to it on the way to work, i kept thinking the same thing, okay. first of all, this was off the cuff. you didn't have notes. you didn't have this planned speech. this was really how you feel. this was right from the heart. and you were speaking to those men and those women who have just been cast aside over the last few weeks. and i thought you are really building them up. this is the message they need to hear. you said i will be proud to wear this uniform until i retire.

i am so proud of every single one of you. and i just thought it was so needed for our country to hear that for our men and women in blue. what made you -- what got you to this point? >> you watch the media. and you listen to the reports. you see our legislators in new york. our legislators in new york we have had a partnership with our legislators in new york for years and years and years. i know many of them personally. and they dropped us like a hot stove. when this happened. and nobody -- did they talk to us? yeah, they called us to see what we think. and we said what we thought. and they didn't listen to what we said. so, you know, there was room -- is there room for reform? there is room for reform in everything, in every walk of life. and we wanted to be partners in that reform and we were cast aside. and and the emotions of the day took over. and we got buried.

brian: no question. so my belief is if we want to learn from this and get better from this, and as it comes to law enforcement, there is republican and democrat proposal to make some changes. so, mike, if you want to make things better for the men and women who wear the uniform, what do you hope is in those changes? do you want raise in money? do you want longer times in the academy? do you want better equipment? is there certain things that would make your job easier? >> yes. all of the above. all of the above. you know, i say this to everybody that will listen to me. we want to be well-respected, well trained, well equipped police department and we want to treat the public fairly and we want to be partners in that reform. but, reform isn't just about saying that all police are bad. what my message to every single cop that's out there across this

country is that you are a good person. and you do a good job. and we are not defined by someone we never met and that's not how we act every day. and that's why i got emotional. because i don't want to be painted with that broad brush of we are all these racist thugs. that's not who we are. and most people that know us and everybody out there says it. it's the best catchphrase ever. 99.9% of the cops are good and honorable people, but, but we have to change everything and diminish their civil rights and diminish what they do and scrutinize them more than anybody on earth is scrutinized. i mean, it just makes to sense to us. so, all the cops out there, you know, you are doing a great job. [applause] steve: all right. mike o'mara is the new york pba

president. sir, thank you very much for joining us live and telling your side of the story today. thank you, sir. ainsley: thank you. >> thank you. steve: you bet. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. some businesses have gotten the green light to reopen in new york city. but the economic damage for many already done. our next guest says it has been worse for her store than the 2008 recession. hear her story coming up next. or powders. try the cooling, soothing relief of preparation h. because your derriere deserves expert care. try new soothing relief. and i recently had a heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works.

brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

blame brian some businesses in new york finally getting the green light to reopen. how long will it be before they recover from the economic impacts of the shutdown. this has been worse than the 2008 recession. here with more the owner of gifted naomi finally you get to open but it's going to be curbside, correct? >> correct. or local delivery. brian: how hard has this been for the last 100 days? >> a nightmare, brian. a nightmare imagine spending thousands of dollars what is supposed to be the second biggest order of your sales

business and it's just shut down then when you hear you can't open up too dangerous, allows protesters to run wildly through the streets for the last two weeks, do you have trouble wrapping your head around that? >> i do. i do. it doesn't make any sense. but, it gives me the sense that our leaders here in this state are not looking out for the small businesses that make every small community thrive it's sad. brian: are you worried about coming back? are you worried about being able to go back to full strength where you are paying your bills again? >> i am worried. i don't know what's going to happen. i have had amazingly supportive community for 14 years. so i hope that they come back

and i won't know what will happen until after my fourth quarter. brian: naoemi they said a couple weeks, then 30 days. now we are in june 000 they tell you limited comeback. do you feel like you were being led down a different pat than you are on right now? >> yes. yes. and they are saying a few weeks. and everyone knows that sales typically in retail drop off just about at the end of june. july and august will be awash. and we will have to wait and see what happens in the fall. brian: if you are in the area, within shouting distance go and shop at gifted.

help out naoemi, men and women that work to get their dream come true and cut off at the knees with this pandemic. my fingers are crossed everything is going to be okay. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you for having me. brian: you got it. and good luck in staten island. dan crenshaw and kayleigh mcenany are coming our way next hour. don't move. ...

brian: as elected officials across the country push de funding the police, a new allie emerging, congresswoman she's urging her colleagues " don't back down, double down." the issue, brian, will take center stage in washington d.c., exactly two hours from right now the house judiciary committee will hold a hearing on police reform, ainsley. ainsley: that's right it will feature testimonies from george floyd's brother and the white house is also working on its own plan for reform. griff jenkins has more now from our nations capitol and griff,ao c, she just spoke out what did she say? griff: well she's charging things up ainsley, brian, steve, good morning look as lawmakers tackle this police brutality debate, aoc who takes that de fund the police pretty literal is speaking out already. listen. >> what a lot of folks are

talking about, when it comes to the movement, is they're asking for the same budget priorities that many affluent suburbs already have and it may sound strange but many affluent suburbs have essentially already begun pursuing a defunding of the police in that they fund schools, they fund housing and they fund healthcare, more as their number one priority. griff: now i know 12 witnesses will appear today, of course george floyd's brother as well as the family's attorney who had prepared remarks of what he calls the brotherhood of police officers which fosters systemic racism and abuse, but it will also include law enforcement voices like houston 's police chief who says simply defunding the police has strategic misssteps that the could ultimately increase in police service in communities that will include former nypd officer and fox news contributor dan bongino, who will offer insight on what police say was

during the line of duty saying the most wonderful sound of the world for responsible police officer is the sound of velcro at night when the body armor comes off and that sound that goes into their ears the families of our heros know they're home safely. this , as the white house top senator tim scott developed the republicans plan for reform. chief of staff mark meadows who optimistic leaving a meeting yesterday but offered no details on a timeframe as house democrat s look to bring their bill to the house floor for a vote in about two weeks. in that defund the police movement, guys in at least 20 cities now, have expressed support for cutting or redirecting funding for police departments. >> ghost etogether an interesting day on capitol hill. brian, ainsley, steve? brian: all right, griff thanks it's pretty amazing that we hear defund and dismantle the police department and when we say do you mean defund? we don't mean defund, in minneapolis they're dismantling. in new york they already de

funded. yesterday, the lapd pledged to defund millions of dollars from the police department which is already under staffed and guess who he got praised from? the mayor of la got praised from kamala harris, so the runningmate of joe biden and joe biden says i don't want to defund the police department. well he should talk to his advisor,aoc. she does and possibly a runningmate. now, keep in mind, republicans have this view that maybe police are under trained and that we know in many cases they're under staffed but not getting enough people, so if you aren't getting enough people, and you feel as though the trainings not there because you need men and women out in the field almost immediately, why would defunding be the answer? kevin mccarthy weighed in earlier. >> this is a moment in time that people should work together to strive to solve the problem. it believe in the rule of law that no one should be judged

based upon the color of their skin and nobody should be judged based upon the color of their uniform either, and that's what we should work together in principle, to make sure at the end of the day the thing that we've all believed is that we strive for a more perfect union. brian: and right now it's not whether it's real or not when it comes to law enforcement, that it is real there's a disparity in that law and order is imparted on the american people. 26% of the american people according to the wall street journal nbc poll see floyd's death as an isolated incident but 74% see it as a broader problem and six in 10 americans believe police officers generally treat whites better than blacks. doesn't matter what you think. the perception in the black community or the american population in general shows the disparity. that shows work has to be done. it doesn't matter what the numbers say. the perception is real. 59% say they are more concerned about police practices with african american deaths and

violent protests, 27% say i'm more concerned with the violent protests, so here is where we're at. i think that democrats and republicans, steve, are close on many areas. we don't necessarily have to fight in our political corners on this one, by any chance, do you see us actually coming together in this way, beginning today? steve: well it all depends on what congress does and we had kevin mccarthy with us just a little while ago and he said that he feels they can find common ground because that's important, so you've got one bill being worked on apparently by jim jordan and you've got the white house version and the important thing about the political dynamic is the fact that mitch mcconnell, because whatever the house does it eventually gets kicked to the senate, mitch mcconnell has signed on to the idea of doing something regarding policing, so that is big, so something will happen. but keep in mind, all the talk about defunding really when you look at the reality of how many

economies, local economies have been racked by the coronavirus and they absolutely have been decimated in new york city, $9 billion shortfall. so that means going forward, every department is going to have to take a hit and so when the mayor says i'm going to have to, you know, i'm on board with rearranging some of the priorit ies and we're going to send some money to community policing and community relations , i get exactly what they're talking about and when you look at what, for instance karen bass the chair of the congressional caucus said, she said ainsley, communities need investments. so going forward, look for a lot of the push to be at putting more money on the streets not with the police officers but with the social programs. ainsley: so yesterday, there was a press conference, and new york state saw

police benevelent association his name is mike o'mara, he sat at the podium, in scripted, no teleprompter and he said what happened to george floyd was reprehensible but he said the majority of cops are not bad listen to this message. >> everybodies trying to shame us into being embarrassed about our profession. well you know what? this isn't stained by someone in minneapolis. its still got a shine on it and we don't condone minneapolis. we roundly reject what he did is disgusting. disgusting. it's not what we do. our legislators abandoned us. the press is villifying us, but do you know what, guys? i'm going to continue to be proud to be a cop until the day i retire and that's all i have to say. >> [applause]

ainsley: i'm sure police officer s are saying finally. that's exactly why he's president. i thought the same thing what a great leader he is, you know, and black, white, no matter what your religion, no matter what your race, he loves all of the police officers that work here in our state, our fine state. 53% of the nypd are minorities and he's speaking for the voices of all of those law enforcement officers that do go out there and they put that uniform on and they hope to god they come home to their waive, their husband's and their children. brian? brian: one thing that's pretty clear is the president horrified by what happened in minneapolis, but he says i'm a law and order president but i'm never going to santify what happened in minneapolis. there's no excuse and that's what michael o'mara was saying but i don't see a democrat or republican running to law enforcement because they are afraid of it being canceled. they see all of these celebrit ies people going back in their time from mark wahlberg going back there and seeing their careers ruined because of

stuff that happened in the past. they seem to be paralyzed in fear rather than maybe defend the good cops out there. mike o'mira joined us about a half hour to expand on what he said yesterday. >> reform isn't just about saying that all police are bad but my message to every single cop out there across this country is that you are a good person and you do a good job and we are not defined by someone who we never met. we're not the enemy. we are portrayed as the enemy and we take our job seriously and we're professionals and the vast vast majority of the time we act appropriately and honorably and that's what we do. brian: it's amazing in these cities that are so upset with their law enforcement, crime is up in new york. crime is up in los angeles. crime is up in chicago. i also think do you know what

else is up? over 700 cops have been injured in some way, shape, or form during these protests. they go home to change uniforms maybe hop in the shower and they're back to another 12 hour shift. steve you can just imagine their frustration. steve: well especially the fact that he said that there was so much scrutiny beforehand. so many people whenever they are out on the streets somebody has an iphone taking pictures of whatever they do. they do something bad i've got the video and he said the scrutiny since george floyd 's death has been unbelievable. meanwhile last night, bret baier had another exclusive interview with the attorney general of the united states, bill barr. you know, so many people have wondered where we are with the durham investigation, as the very origins of what barack obama's justice department did and the fbi did to surveil members of the trump campaign.

brett asked him about charges that i can't really talk about charges at this point, but eventually, don't be surprised if you do see some familiar names in the news, because it looks like the fbi was spring- loaded to go after trump. here is the ag. >> publicly made clear that this does not involve looking at president obama or vice president biden. i think the people that we're looking at are not at that level >> but names we'd be familiar with. >> some of them. for the first time in american history, police organizations and the national security organizations were used to spy on a campaign. >> if you had to characterize the durham report as you know it now is it going to be eye opening for americans? >> i'm very troubled by what has been called to my attention so far but i'm not going to characterize it beyond that. steve: you know, just when you

think about it, an administration is the department of justice and the fbi to surveil a presidential candidate during the campaign, you know, has that ever been done in american history before? i don't know, but we are seeing that right now it appears and that is why donald trump has called this , ainsley, the biggest political scandal in american history. ainsley: yeah, and as far as the timelines concerned when the reports coming out he said that durham's team has been working very aggressively to move forward and that there will be a public disclosure of his findings. congressman doug collins who wants to be the next senator in georgia is running for that senate seat said there must be accountability when he was on our show earlier. listen to this. >> this was a coordinated effort before the campaign to get donald trump because they didn't like him and when he became the candidate the nominee before the election when he was the nominee they continued the process and they were just doing everything they could to

derail the candidacy and then afterwards they said well we couldn't influence elections and now we're going to disrupt his presidency and comey and peter strzok and mccabe all of these, durham i'm looking forward to seeing what he comes out with because i do believe people need to be held accountable. brian: and lindsey graham has expressed some frustration that he has not even gotten to the fbi source that looked at the dossier and said this is no good there's a lot of problems this can't possibly be what we're basing anything on. we don't know who that person is and lindsey graham can't get to him. we have not seen the whole roster of everyone coming from the senate committee and of course anybody could say i'm not going to do that, susan rice could say i'm not going to do that, john brennan, mccabe and others and lastly,ag barr did speak up and say everyone wants to know when people are held th ible accountable. the justice system moves slowly but deliberately people have to be patient. i have news for you.

it's june if the president doesn't get four more years in november, we'll never know if we don't pick up the pace. meanwhile jillian mele is poised to give us the latest breaking news while we were talking. jillian: good morning and let's begin with this story. the former minneapolis officer seen kneeling on george floyd's neck was guilty. our fox minneapolis affiliate reporting federal and state prosecutors were negotiating a possible plea deal with derek chauvin. one day before his arrest, now it's not clear why talks fell through. this , as a former co-worker claims chauvin had run-ins when they worked security together at a nightclub. >> has a lot to do with derek being extremely aggressive within the club with some of the patrons which was an issue. >> another worker says she thought chauvin was "afraid and intimidated" by black people. >> in just hours, police arresting chad daybell near his

idaho home after finding human remains in his backyard. investigators are performing an autopsy if the remains belong to vallo's missing children who have been missing since september. >> christopher columbus statutes destroyed in two major cities overnight. >> [chanting] >> protesters tearing down the monument and lighting it on fire before throwing it in a lake in richmond, virginia. about 1,000 protesters gathered to stand in solidarity with nate native americans and in boston a columbus statue was beheaded overnight. those are your headlines i'll send it back to you. steve: thank you very muchville yankees. meanwhile let's talk a little bit about chicago. that city just had one of the deadliest days in decades and the mayor is fighting with the city council over handling the violence. >> i think you're 100% full of

[bleep] and if you think we won't do that. steve: okay, chicago native gian a coldwell says the mayor has failed the city and is up next. (female vo) when it comes to longevity,

who has the highest percentage of its vehicles still on the road today? subaru. when it comes to best overall value, who does intellichoice rank number one? subaru. and when it comes to safety, who has more 2020 iihs top safety pick+

winning vehicles? more than toyota, honda, and hyundai-combined? subaru. it's easy to love a car you can trust. it's easy to love a subaru. get 0% apr financing for 63 months on select subaru models now through june 30th. the xfinity voice remote will find exactly that.for, happy stuff. if the groups happy, i'm happy. you can even say a famous movie quote and it will know the right movie. that'll do, donkey! you're expecting prince charming? you can learn something new any time. education. and if you're not sure what you're looking for, say...

surprise me. just ask "what can i say?" to find more of what you love with the xfinity voice remote. >> i think you're 100% full of [ bleep] if you think that -- [bleep] if you think that we're not ready and stood by and let the neighborhood go up there's nothing intel it genetic that i can say to you. brian: yeah that might help, brand new audio surfacing of chicago officials railing against the mayor for failure to protect the city during the

riots and the looting. this as the city sees its deadliest day in 60 years here to discuss it fox news political analyst chicago native and author of "taken-for-granted" giano coldwe ll. if the mayor says they were ready, you know, 132 officers injured, 48 shootings, 17 homicides all on one day on may 31, they were not ready. >> no, they weren't ready, and it's a complete lie that she's telling, you know, from mayor ram emmanuel to mayor lori light foot, the city officials have completely failed and every alderman has every right to be upset but i had a two hour instagram live with a very popular hip-hop radio personality in chicago i encourage everybody to go look at that where they're defending this mayor, which is so problematic. here is why. on may 31, the city 911 center received 65,000 calls to 911. that's 50,000 more than they

typically get. the mayor requested 375,000 national security members and instead of pushing them throughout the city, she says no , we're going to protect the downtown communities and those businesses which is typically where white people live and it's not wrong that we're protecting those areas but she left the businesses that are minority-owned on the south and west sides available for the looters and rioters. this is not a mayor whose for the people. this is not a mayor who the people african americans who mostly put her in office, this is not who they picked. she is an elitist and she's proven it time and time again and she's leaving the city residents unsafe. brian: we had democratic city alderman raymond lopez was on the channel. let's listen. >> i was basically pleading for help, pleading for her to take serious the concerns that we've seen in the neighborhoods and it was not only falling on deaf ears it was out right dismissed, the number of

aldermen and i have stepped up and asked for the national guard to come and assist our police officers in maintaining the safety and security of our city so that they could provide presence so that our police could do their job and that plea was actually ignored again. brian: he was the one that we heard when he was told he was full of you know what. your reaction? >> yeah, i think that's true and i've met with some of these aldermen who feel that our leadership was problematic. you keep in mind, this is one year on-the-job for her and already, she's considered a failure. she gets an f for safety. now we think about the liberals throughout the country, defund the police one of the most stupid mottos you can have at this particular point. say that to the people of chicago, to the poor black people living there. they don't want to see the police defund and they want to see more police in their communities, community policing. brian: i do too. it seemed like the craziest thing until i found out that aoc and others and police

departments from la to new york already giving the law enforcement less so it's no longer just a slogan they're doing it. giano coldwell thank you so much >> thank you, brian. brian: i reached out to mayor lightfoot's office for comments but we've not heard back. we'll be sure to break into programming if she calls back. we've been telling you about the growing calls to defund the police. we just discussed it congressman dan crenshaw calls it "dangerous and deeply irrational" and he joins us next. everyday you're eating acidic foods; you're constantly weakening that enamel structure. pronamel repair allows more minerals to penetrate deep into the enamel layer and it repairs it. it is pretty phenomenal. and it repairs it. i need all the breaks, that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

steve: mourners packing a houston church yesterday for an emotional final farewell to george floyd. right now from houston with his reflection texas republican congressman dan crenshaw congressman good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: the service was yesterday , folks saw it on the channel here at the fountain of praise church and at one point, reverend al sharpton said that the whole world knew now the name of george floyd because everybody is talking about him. >> yeah it's true listen this is what we have to remember george floyd was a man with a family. he should still be with us today , and there's a great deal of outrage over the injustice

that occurred, and rightfully so and that's what yesterday was about. it was about celebrating his life, remembering him and making sure that we do get justice for that crime, and we're just happy to see him be laid to rest here in houston, his hometown, right next to his mother. steve: sure. of course now politics are involved and washington is trying to figure out what to do, the white house is trying to figure out what to do, local law enforcement is trying to figure out what to do but there seems to be an under current of people who are talking about we need to defund the police to make sure this never happens again and then we'll take that money and we'll put it somewhere else. what do you think about this idea? >> yeah, well unfortunately, it's more than an under current. it's more than just some fringe opinion. it's happening across major cities, bill deblasio has talked about doing it in new york city, the mayor of los angeles has done the same, talking about de funding the police and

actually taking action to defund the police. we all know what happened in minneapolis recently where a veto proof majority voted to dismantle and defund the police so it's hard to imagine a worse way to help the communities of color that you're seeking to help. fundamentally a neighborhood needs safety to thrive. if anybody is going to invest if anybody is going to have a thriving business if anybody is going to get a good education the community needs to be safe. there is no examples of a community becoming safer with less policing. all of the examples point to the opposite. now we need good policing and there's smart ways to do that and i think democrats and republicans can work on those ways, even the bill that was proposed by democrats that's problems but certainly elements in there that we can all agree upon and that we should agree upon and get going. steve: it's interesting, your colleagues across the aisle apparently on monday had a conference call and talked about out the narrative of defunding the police probably a bridge too far for moderate voters in swing

districts, and so, you know, they're coming up with different ways to say defund the police, but they don't actually mean de fund or dismantle the police. instead, redirect the cash some place up. >> well even if you're redirect ing it of course that's defunding it and they like to holdup the example of camden, new jersey so guess what they actually increased the number of police officers on the street. now what they did is break up a policing and that was costing the city too much but then they used that money and hired more police and so again, there is only one outcome when you start to defund the police and start to pullback on any law enforcement it's going to be increased crime and that increased crime is going to hurt these communities of color the most. that has been borne out in every single piece of data and evidence and over the last few years where violent crime and crime in general has gone up across major cities, and that is

a result of police having to pullback, and so it's the exact opposite outcome that we want if we're trying to help the people that we're claiming to help. steve: well america's watching to see what comes out of d.c. congressman thank you very much for joining us today from houston. >> great to be with you thanks. steve: great to have you. all right, meanwhile president trump is working on his plans for police reform. what would that look like? we're going to talk to white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany live next. effortless is the lincoln way. so as you head back out on the road, we'll be doing what we do best. providing some calm amidst the chaos. with virtual, real-time tours of our vehicles as well as remote purchasing. for a little help, on and off the road. now when you buy or lease a new lincoln,

we'll make up to 3 payments on your behalf.

brian: mourners pack a houston church for an emotional farewell to george floyd. steve: correspond correspondent

casey segal is live outside the cemetery where floyd was laid to rest next to his mother. casey? reporter: steve, brian, ainsley, good morning to you. yes back here is the houston memorial garden cemetery george floyd's final resting place. you know, one of the things the family said that has been so difficult about all of this is mourning in public and the public being there every step of the way, so no cameras were allowed at the burial site yesterday where they were able to finally say their last goodbyes, but it was following this massive service that millions and millions of people tuned into and watched live. what pastors described as a giant celebration of life. some 600 people in attendance in the city that he grew up in, where he played high school football, a man known to many here as bigot big floyd. athletes floyd mayweather and among the celebrities in attendance a powerful video message from former vice

president joe biden. the reverend al sharpton saying "ordinary brother who changed the world" by far the most emotional moments coming from floyd's family members including his niece, aunt and brothers, using their platform to call for an end to racial in in equality while sharing stories about a man they called the " gentle giant." >> i believe my grandmother is right there with open arms saying come home, baby, you shouldn't feel this pain. none of us should feel this pain >> from the fountain of praise church a 12-mile long funeral procession lined with thousands and thousands of people holding signs, flowers, chanting his name as the motorcade went by. the final mile of his ride in a horse drawn carriage with clear side panels showing the golden casket inside, as george floyd again was brought to his final resting place next to his mother , a person we know now he called out for on that video, in

the final moments of his life. brian, ainsley, steve? ainsley: thank you, casey let's bring in kayleigh mcenany. she is the white house press secretary. good morning to you, are you there? >> good morning. ainsley: there you are. so george floyd, he is buried we watched that memorial that touching memorial service yesterday. the president has come out and said that he has a list of proposals for police reform and he's going to work with tim scott and his group as well. what does that look like, kayleigh? >> yeah, so i won't get ahead of the president but what i will say to you ainsley is theres been tremendous work done on this and a lot of progress over the last few days the president has been reviewing proposals and his team, chief of staff mark meadows went to the hill yesterday with senior advisor jared kushner and they had a very positive meeting with senator scott, and it was very productive and we do believe that we will have proactive policy prescriptions whether that means legislation or an executive order.

brian: i saw, kayleigh that there was a monday, there was a law enforcement round table. would there be a race round table too where the president brings in african american leaders and hears what they say and what their perceptions and reality is? >> so i won't get ahead of announcing the president's schedule and upcoming events that haven't already been previously announced but that was a very productive round table with law enforcement officers, and other stakeholders and attorneys general from across the nation. it was very productive, i believe that the police want to see some sort of reform too, they recognize the deep in justice that was done to george floyd, and we all want to move together as one united country, while keeping in mind the great work our law enforcement officers do. they are after all the thin blue line that divides us from chaos and order and keeps us on the side of order. steve: indeed. you know, kayleigh, there are a lot of people who are talking about now is the time to defund the police, because of what happened to george floyd. i know that about a dozen

attorney generals from various states have come out and said that it's dangerous, it's reckless, it will increase crime , not reforming law enforcement. what do you think? >> that's exactly right under president trump we're seeing decreases in crime, but under blue state governors and blue state mayors we're seeing exact opposite with this proposal. this is a polling. it is ludacris to take police out of society. let's just look at la for a second when the la mayor said i'm going to remove $150 million from lapd. what happened the next week? we saw homicides go up in la by 250% and shootings go up by 56%. it is anarchy, it is chaos when we don't recognize that police serve a valuable function in this society and most police officers, the vast majority, are good domestic heros out there protecting us each and every day ainsley: kayleigh, amid

coronavirus president said we're not going to north carolina for the rnc, i love the folks in north carolina but you're not able to host us so he's looking for a new venue and washington post headline says gop expects to move to jacksonville after a dispute with north carolina pandemic safeguards and john roberts who you know works at fox and our friend, he says that no decision has been made. he's talked to his sources there and he says officials tell me the gop has not yet settled on his site for the august convention donald trump speech and top contenders are jacksonville, savannah, nashville, phoenix and dallas and a decision will be made very soon. can you tell us more about this and if you can't announce what city can you tell us when you'll be able to? >> there have been a number of cities under consideration the president loves the state of north carolina really wanted to have it there but unfortunately you have a governor there whose not willing to say yes, you can move forward. it's a great injustice to his state taking a lot of economic boom out of there that comes with the convention, so no decision has been made but for further comment on that i'd redirect you to the rnc campaign

brian: so yesterday the president, kayleigh, tweeted out that this buffalo protest, the 75-year-old who was shoved to the ground by a police officer might have been part of antifa and in order to get that type of reaction just to paraphrase. would you expand on that? does the president think that this guy is part of antifa? >> so the president was raising questions based on a report that he saw, questions that need to be asked and every case we can't jump on one side without looking at all of the facts at play this individual has some very questionable tweets and profanity-laden tweets about police officers. of course no one condones any sort of violence. we need the appropriate amount of force used in any interaction but there are a lot of questions in that case. in fact you had 56 police officers who resigned and protest of how their fellow officers were treated so i think we need to ask why those officer s resigned what happened, what facts were on the

ground and the president was just raising some of those questions. brian: kayleigh what about the timing of the middle of the george floyd ceremonies and the last of which a series of long goodbyes for george floyd and all of the unrest in the country. do you think the timing was right? >> well the president has acknowledged so many times and rightfully so the injustice with george floyd. he was upset when he saw that video as i noted he gave an entire speech about mr. floyd and the grave injustice there but the president was raising some questions, some legitimate ones about that particular interaction and his perogative to do so. steve: kayleigh, i was just thinking i'd like to go back on topic for just a second to the washington post story that republicans have settled on jacksonville as a site for the rnc. they would still have some convention activities in charlotte because the contracts but then the big celebratory meeting, it be there in

jacksonville. is this just a trial balloon that three republicans speaking to the washington post is and this is just really a way that it's an ultimatum from the president of the united states. this is the way he negotiates. last chance unless you say we can go into the big room in charlotte, we're going to head out of town and probably go to . jamie dimon onville jacksonville >> the president is a great negotiator i would note that upfront but on this i'd direct you to the rnc and the campaign and note that the president is very frustrated with the politically-motivated governor of north carolina whose not doing what's in the best interest of his state which is to bring economic boom and economic activity and the great resources that would come with holding a convention. ainsley: okay kayleigh coronavirus restrictions. some are being lifted. companies are opening up, nasdac hitting 10,000, crossing 10,000 for the first time hitting a new record, and business owners they want to get back to work.

brian had a great interview with a lady that's the owner of a small store called "gifted" in new york and this is what he says about the mixed messages from our state reopening. listen. >> it gives me the sense that our leaders here in this state are not looking out for the small businesses that make every small community thrive. it's sad. i am worried. i don't know what's going to happen. i've had an amazingly supportive community for 14 years so i hope that they come back. ainsley: it's hard, kayleigh, because people are not able to work in the city most people but yet you see all of these, you know, you saw all of those rioters and people out on the street and meanwhile these people hurting so badly their stores are getting looted and they have to stay-at-home and, you know, can't defend themselves or can't even open up. >> it's exactly right, ainsley. look one of the things lost last week is that there were actually

300,000 jobs created for black americans in the last jobs report which was a huge boom. economists were dead wrong they thought we would lose 7.5 million jobs and we gained 2.5 million under president trump and one of the other things that happened in addition to the jobs created for the black community the labor force participation rate means there are more black americans out in the workforce looking for a job so it is incumbent upon blue state mayors and governors to provide those jobs. there are people looking they are out there, reopen your states. brian: kayleigh mcenany, thanks so much for the insight. going to be another busy day at the white house. appreciate it. >> absolutely, thank you. brian: all right coming up straight ahead, two top editors resigning overhead lines that ran in their papers, so what happens when so-called cancel culture meets the press? the federalist publisher says that it's a slippery slope. he joins us next, but first let's check in with sandra smith to find out what she's set to do with ed henry from 9:00-12:00. >> sandra: yeah, good morning,

ainsley: as protesters demand change in america, those responsible for covering the rising tensions finding themselves now in the hot seat. two top editors at the new york times and philadelphia inquirer now resigning over the weekend because of these headlines that ran in their respective newspapers. what does it mean when culture targets the press? let's bring in the publisher for the federalist, ben domonich good morning to you, ben. >> good to be with you. ainsley: good morning so freedom of the press. more voices the better so that tells both sides of the story.

what happened in these situations? >> well what happens is that the press increasingly is not interested in other sides of the story particularly those younger members of the press who joined in recent years. i think viewers of fox news are very familiar with the situation s that have played out on campuses across the country. the idea of canceled culture, the inability of people to deal with differences of opinion. well that's migrated now into the world of media, and it's going to be an increasing problem. i think this is the beginning of a series of cancellations that we're going to see , not over any, you know, inability to do your job, any inability to function in the role you've been given but in the case of these editors people who were simply offering an alternate opinion which is what an op-ed page is designed to do, that's something that's just too dangerous for a lot of these young people to take, and within the industry, they're able to weaponize social media, to gather together and to essentially create these rage mobs that play out and drive

talented people from their position. ainsley: so where do we go from here? >> where do we go from here is unfortunately i think it's a situation where a lot of alternate institutions are going to have to be created including other media entities that are going to resist these types of mobs. they are going to take overall of these different places, drive out the opinions of people that they don't like and continue to do it going forward. in this case tom cotton the senator from arkansas is making a case supported by the majority of americans, but even if you don't support it, he's a senator from arkansas. he should be able to respect the fact that his opinion matter s, but that was too much for these folks to take, and then they have a new word they use all the time which is " unsafe" that their opinions render them unsafe as if an op-ed is somehow violent. that's not something i think we should accept in america. it's something we should reject as members of the media and we should include these diversities of opinions, as we have the debate about what matters so much in society today. ainsley: what's interesting is these are normally stories that they are covering and now it's

happening inside their news rooms, what happens to news rooms now? how will this change journalism? >> well, i think it's going to change these news rooms in a lot of damaging ways, particularly when it comes to story selection , and the way that stories are framed. in terms of have tellings of people an accurate story about what's going on on the ground agine the situation whereas we've seen i other instances in other media outlets just featur ing alternate opinions expressed by people on the street, expressed by people who have seen their communities damaged by these riots, by looting, et cetera, that that's viewed as being a bad allie of the black lives matter movement. of questioning any of their policies and maybe not being the right thing to do, and you see that in the context of the current debate about de funding the police. that's something that i think is going to continue to be a problem for these legacy media organizations, that are now be hold en to a mob of youngsters who they have given far more power than they deserve. ainsley: thank you so much for joining us.

>> good to be with you as always. ainsley: thank you. we have more fox & friends just moments away. i've lost count of how many asthma attacks i've had. i've been on and off oral steroids to manage my asthma. does that sound normal to you? it's time for a nunormal with nucala. my nunormal: fewer asthma attacks. 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.
