carley: jillian, you look beautiful. keep it going, girl. you don't need it. rob: there you go. all right, carley, thanks so much. jillian: "fox & friends" starts right now. have a good day, everyone. ♪ ♪ they are tearing down history. protesters cheer in a fox news alert and celebrate as a confederate statue is burned in portsmouth, virginia overnight. cops just watched. similar scenes in boston, miami, minnesota, where statues of christopher columbus and confederate monuments were destroyed. on capitol hill, nancy pelosi, the speaker now calling on confederate statues to be removed. steve: meanwhile the president is slamming the idea while he calls for law and order in the city of seattle. president trump demanding state

leaders there take action after protesters took over briefly the city hall a couple of days ago and have created their own capitol hill autonomous zone that they refer to as chaz, ainsley. ainsley: video shows the national guard leaving the precinct on monday. officers there say they have scaled back their presence in the area. demonstrators are calling on the mayor to resign and they want the city's police force to be defunded. good morning to everyone. thank you so much for joining us on this thursday morning. we have a lot to dive into. we all watched those hearings yesterday. the house judiciary committee. we heard from george floyd's brother. we heard from the sister of a slain officer. we heard from dan bongino among other leaders that are trying to seek police reform. we are talking about defunding some are for it. some are against it and dismantling police departments, brian. brian: yeah. there is a lot of overlap between law enforcement reform and reboot. see if they can get together or just grand stand and that is

horrible in america giving up a city to protesters. today president trump is heading over to a dallas church. he's going to take race relations and political reform. it comes after an emotional testimony from george floyd's brother in washington. steve: meanwhile griff jenkins is live in d.c. as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle try to figure out how to reform the criminal justice system. in particular, community precinct in america. griff? griff: that's right. good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. they are trying to find consensus on comprehensive reform bill and perhaps one of the most powerful moments will guide them. it was felon news floyd employing lawmakers to not let his brother die in vain. >> he didn't deserve to die over $20. i'm asking you is that what a black man is worth this is 2020. people elected to you speak for

them. george's name means something. you have the opportunity here today to make your names mean something, too. griff: both parties are determined to pass legislation. democrats have introduced the justice in policing act. includes banning choke holds and independent investigations of police misconduct but they want to go further. republicans led by senator tim scott are working on alternative plan qualified immunity legal doctrinal shutting off suits from civil lawsuits emerging as sticking point as to defund the police grow. mayors in major cities time reduce police budgets. a move nypd officer and fox news contributor dan bongino is warnings against. >> public safety came first. everything. everything else came second. sometimes even their own families. moving these heroes from your communities and my community will do nothing but ensure chaos and destruction. we can and submit police

accountability. please stop this police abomination before someone gets hurt. griff: this as the president leads to dallas promoting his plan for holistic revitalization and recovery. we are awaiting the president to issue an executive order we expect soon. executive level. exactly what that entails is not known at this moment. steve, ainsley, brian. ainsley: yeah. thank you so much, griff. happy that the president is going to sit down with leaders in the african-american community down in dallas so that he can hear from them and learn what their thoughts are and how they can reform -- how they think we can reform these police departments. yesterday in those hearings the constant reminder of do not let my brother die in vain. you heard that from the sister of the slain officer. you obviously heard that from the brother of george floyd. his brother was talking about how he was a gentle giant. he was in for his life and still calling the officers sir. he wasn't fighting back. he said he died begging for his

mother and he said i hope you found momma and you can rest in peace. and dan bongino was there in those hearings. we heard from him. he's going to talk with us at 7:30 and tell us more details about what that was like yesterday for him. brian: yeah. right. exactly. a lot of different moving parts yesterday. one thing is pretty clear. very rare when both sides want the same thing. it's how they get there. ainsley: that's right, brian. brian: what the content of the house bill would be and what the senate bill would be. tim scott working on the senate side. and you see the congressional black caucus led by congresswoman bass on the democratic side. the republicans haven't been dealt. in when asked why republicans haven't been dealt. in oh, they will have a shot in the committee process. some like kevin mccarthy are beginning to write their owns a you mentioned immunity will be the key. are you going to be sued if you are a cop not making that much money. are you going to be vulnerable to a civil suit should someone feel as though you violated

their rights. that's going to be impossible to police and do that in my view. meanwhile the other big story is defunding police forces. we seat defunding, the less allocation of funds in new york. we see the same promise in los angeles. and we see the big push with black lives matter and people like alexandria ocasio-cortez. that is astounding to a woman named angela underwood who is the sister of an officer killed during the riots. less money for those who are making little money to do so much for the public. listen. >> police brutality of any kind must not be condoned. however, it is blatantly wrong to create an excuse out of discrimination and disparity to loot and burn our communities. to kill our officers of the law. it is a ridiculous solution to proclaim that defunding police departments is a solution to police brutality and

discrimination. because it's not a solution. it gets us nowhere as a nation and removes the safety net of protection that every citizen deserves from their community's elections officials. brian: but you are seeing a real push back on law enforcement. in seattle they were told jewels to stand by and give up a precinct. in minneapolis they abandoned a precinct. not on their own volition because of politicians. you have governor whitmer in michigan basically says i love the spirit of defunding the police. when pushed by the detroit free press she says i'm not really going to defund but i like the spirit. aoc among the things she is going to do take a weapon away to break up unruly crowds that would be the tear gas. you see the pushback other side of the issue. there has to be a steady head and rational approach to law enforcement. and they have to be, steve, at the table when it comes to this reform. they can't be told what is okay

and not okay with the job that the people writing this legislation have no experience in doing. steve: right. that's one of the reasons why when the president is at that round table in dallas today. is he meeting not only with faith leaders and community leaders from the black community but he is also meeting with law enforcement. and he is meeting with small business. going to be about a dozen people there while everybody, you know, what's grabbing the headlines over the last couple of days the whole defund police thing, brian, you touched on seattle. they don't want to defund the police. they want to dismantle the police. that's why they established this area called the capitol hill autonomous zone where essentially there are no police. because the political science realize they didn't -- they were going to inflame the protesters. they would like to push the police out of their east precinct building. yesterday there was a sign that said yesterday this is the property of the seattle people which is interesting. the president yesterday demanded that seattle take this area back and blamed governor inslee among

others for allowing it to be handed over to the protesters who he described as domestic terrorists. and the president said if they don't take it back, i will. this is not a game, the president said. so, the interesting thing about defunding the police is the fact that regarding all these bills that are being talked about in congress, interestingly enough, the democrat bill does not talk about defunding the police. they have other measures. the sticking point as you said was about qualified immunity. remember, the back drop is this is an election year. and the democrats had a conference call on monday and said the whole defund police thing, ainsley is, a bridge too far for a lot of moderate voters in swing districts that they would like to take in november. ainsley: darryl scout, the famous pastor, he was there in congress yesterday. he said this is all political. he said defunding and dismantling police is unwise,

irresponsible. makes absolutely no sense. only reasonable they are doing it is because it's an election year, steve. joe biden was on with trevor noah last night and he was talking about president trump and the election, trying to steal it. mail-in ballots and what if the president decides not to leave the white house if biden wins. listen. >> my single greatest colonel, this president is going to try to steal this election. this is a guy who said that all mail-in balance are fraudulent. voting by mail. while he sits behind a desk in the oval office and writes his mail-in ballot to write in the primary. i was so damn proud. here have you four chiefs of staff coming out and ripping the skin off of trump. you have so many rank and file military personnel saying whoa, wire not a military state. this is not who we are. i promise you i'm absolutely convinced they will escort him from the white house with great dispatch. ainsley: guys, he also said that he is putting together a group

of lawyers and staffers to work on voter protective issues because we saw some problems at the polls during the primaries in various states. brian? brian: i will say this. i don't work for gallup or i don't work for the up sis poll people but i will say this. i believe that the president of the united states is infinitely more popular with the military rank and file than joe biden will ever be. remember, think about that rolling stone story about mcchrystal when they said that joe biden they used the word bite me instead. he set there and said pull our troops out and put them in islands off out of afghanistan. he was the one who the former secretary of defense says has been wrong on every foreign policy issue over the last 30, 40 years. and this president is the one who refunded the military as opposed to defunded the myrtle over the last 8 years. he wasn't one of the officials that mocked the war in iraq and prematurely pulled out the

troops, forcing them to go back in when the jv team called isis ended up taking back that country. so joe biden is making mockery of the fact that the investigation in washington right now is about what his administration was doing behind the scenes leading up to 2016 as opposed to donald trump manipulate be an elections. it's farcical and there was no pushback from trevor noah. meanwhile mitt romney weighed in. he is obviously the republican on the right now that john mccain sadly passed away the biggest critic of the united states. i was surprised he said this. quote: i am confident that he wool keep the majority in the senate, meaning republicans. and i have actually long predicted the president will be reelected. i continue to think that's the case as the president gets back to his rallies, guys, and the president also is trailing in almost all national polls by in some case, steve, double digits. steve: mitt romney has been in the news a lot this week. that's why reporters were

waiting outside that lunch yesterday where they got that quote. mitt romney was at one of the protests. he instagramed some of the sentiments of some of the protesters there in the d.c. area and, of course famously now, according to the "new york times," he said he would not vote for donald trump. it is unclear who he would vote for. brian, you touched on -- you just mentioned the rally he is. the president of the united states is going to resume his rallies on june 19th in tulsa. what's interesting about that is june 19th is also known as juneteenth which is a national commemoration of the end of slavery. so you have got to figure that the president is going to be making a speech revolving around race and law enforcement on that day in tulsa. it will be interesting to see what, if any, social distancing measures are being taken because none were announced yet. and then after that it sounds like they are also going to have rallies in florida, texas, and arizona. so stay tuned. the president is back on the

road. starting next week. all right. 6:13 now in new york city. and that is where we find jillian mele on this thursday. jillian? jillian: that's right. we start with a fox news alert. right now a manhunt is underway for the gunman who ambushed california deputies shooting one in the head. mason james lira a homeless man accused of opening fire in police station. when deputies responded they were met with a hail of bullets. >> we had an unprovoked attack on local law enforcement and in my opinion an act of a coward. jillian: the wounded deputy is in serious but stable condition with a bullet lodged in his head. we will keep you updated. one of the former minneapolis officers charged in george floyd's death is out on bond. thomas ellayna was a rookie on the force. he is one of three cops charged with aiding and abetting second degree murder. this as the police union responds to the police chief's announcement about ending

contract negotiations immediately. the chief says it's part of a greater push for reform. the union hopes they will return to the negotiating table in good faith. the republican convention is staying in charlotte. committee members unanimously voting overnight to hold a scaled down event in august. only official business will be held there. however, president trump's acceptance speech for the nomination will be somewhere else. the rnc is in talks with several cities to host the celebration saying a final decision will be made soon. nascar racing under the lights on a historic night. nascar banning the confederate flag from all events before the race in martinsville. martin truex jr. picks up checkered flag for first win of the season. bubba wallace finishing 11th driving the black lives matter car. you can see it there first african-american racer on nascar's top circuit 45 years. the next race is sunday afternoon at homestead miami speedway on fox. that's a look at your headlines.

>> >> mr. daybell do you understand the allegations on both counts that have been brought against you? >> i do. >> court is going to set bail in the amount of $1 million. the underlying charge here is destruction, alteration and concealment of evidence and the allegation is that the evidence human remains of two different people. ainsley: cult mom lori vallow's husband chad daybell held on 1-million-dollar bail. this as her family reveals the remains found on her property do belong to vallow's missing children j.j. and tylee last seen last september. here to discuss is former federal prosecutor francey headaches. she was the first national coordinator for child exploration prevention exploitation prevention and interdiction. good morning to you. thanks for being with us.

>> good morning, ainsley. ainsley: when we saw this, we saw the investigators, they were out there trying to figure out, you know, if there were remains buried back there and then we learned overnight that they were the children. i mean, all of our hearts dropped. buried, i guess, last september. all of that will have to shake out in the next few weeks. what happens next, francey? >> well, anxiously, this is such a tragic case. it's so sad. and you know from the $1 million bond that the court and law enforcement believe that chad daybell did more than just conceal bodies. otherwise, his bond wouldn't be so high. next investigators are going to have to put together the actual criminal case. you're going to have prosecutors and investigators, cops working together trying to prove who did what and when as you say, ainsley. we don't know exactly when it happened. they are going to have to piece together the movements of daybell and vallow and look to see when the last people saw tylee and j.j. it's so sad that this has ended

up exactly where everyone feared that it did. it never made any sense that lori vallow would refuse to tell law enforcement where they're children were if they were, in fact, safe. obviously they weren't. ainsley: they released a statement wood cox and ryans human remains found by law enforcement on chad daybell's property are our beloved jj and tylee. we are filled with unbelievable sadness that those two is it bright stars were stolen from us and only hope that they died without pain or suffering. you hear that and you pray to god they did not die suffering. is it hard to determine a cause of death that you have bodies possibly buried last september? >> yes, ainsley. it's going to be really difficult. similar to the cailee anthony case where the toddler was missing for months. when the body was finally discovered it was skeletal

remains. depending on the injury. depending on what actually caused the child's death, there may not be any evidence of it if it was a soft tissue injury, for example. i hate to say, this it's so graphic. but if the children were shot or stabbed, that evidence may very well still be there. but, if they were killed in some other manner, it's going to be very difficult to say exactly what that was. and so what that means is it will be very difficult to determine exactly who killed them and the law is going to require in order to prove that they committed murder that they actually committed the murder that they actually did it and who did what is going to be necessary to determine. ainsley: i did hear a report earlier that he was a former grave digger. so you suggested at the top of this that because his bond was set so high he probably did more than just dig the graves. can you explain more about that. >> i believe so, ainsley. a million-dollar bond is a very high bond even in a murder case

you don't necessarily see a million-dollar bond. he's not charged yet with murdering either of those children. he is just charged with disposing of their bodies. and so that's an extremely high bond for that kind of charge. i suspect it's because the authorities believe he did more than just help dispose their bodies. ainsley: all right. we will be following this story. thank you so much, francey, good to see you. >> thank you, ainsley. you too. ainsley: you are, too. two top editors resigning over headlines that ran in their newspaper. calling out cancel culture journalism. next guest says it is a scary time for free thought. some companies still have hr stuck between employees and their data.

being labeled as cop abegan da. shows a police dog named chase who works to protect his community. can you imagine that, steve? steve: calling out cancel culture journalism. this as top editors at big newspapers resigned at the "new york times" and philadelphia enquirer over stories that ran in their paper. this purge of senior editors at progressive newspapers is no cause for cheering. here to discuss media reporter for the hill joe con challenge. so, joe, what is going on behind the scenes? i mean, these two top editors at these big papers shown the door after. >> not so much behind the scenes out in public reporters from the "new york times," philadelphia enquirer speaking out on twitter

saying those editorials were wrong. they put lives in danger in one case in terms of the "new york times" and tom cotton's editorial. talk about that for a second. cotton argues that the military should be used if protests get violent is that an extreme argument that doesn't fit the standards of the "new york times." there is an abc news poll out just on sunday that show that 52% of americans support using the military in those situations. 47% disapprove. wow, that sounds like a pretty good debate to have when you have that even of an argue. on one side or the other. then you have the philadelphia enquirer as you mentioned buildings matter, too. we are not talking about the brick feelings of bricks and mortar, steve. we are talking about the fact that people have businesses in those buildings. blood, sweat, tears put into those businesses and then they are destroyed in those situations as a result of violent riots. these aren't white-owned businesses only it's black-owned businesses. asian-owned businesses worthy editorial to have. the editor at that paper 20

years won a pulitzer. one day he is there next day eliminated. very scary time for free thought right now. if this is the precedent being set there, steve. steve: the thing about the "new york times" op-ed by tom cotton, he was asked by the "new york times" to write the op-ed. and so he did and they put that headline on it and it got a lot of attention. next thing you know that editor who wound up eventually resigning said you know what? i never actually read it. but, you have got to hand it to him, at least he was asking for the other side so that the readers of the "new york times" could have both sides. but apparently there is no appetite for that. >> no appetite for that in journalism it seems, steve. no appetite for that in pop culture. brian mentioned the other headlines before. live pd one of the top rated shows on cable. gone. not going to run it anymore. the show cops has been on for 33 years. that's gone as well. but gone with the wind. and you guys have probably discussed this but let me share

some thoughts on that. it's the highest grossing movie of all time when you adjust it for inflation. haiti mcdaniel actually won an oscar for her performance best supporting actress first african-american actress to do so. it was eliminated from hbo max. the streams service that's owned bby at&t, warner media. turner classic movies cnn that's gone as well. think about this for a moment. we are taking things off as if they never existed or we can't learn from them because we're afraid that people might be offended. why don't we let people come to their own conclusions in these situations. is that so hard? or to eliminate history, i'm telling you, steve, this past week i have never seen anything like it. we should all be very concerned about this. by the way, paw patrol, i have a dog named chase. do you know how many times is he stopped in the neighborhood did you name the dog after paw patrol. my kids are 6 and 4. i watch it. it's not the greatest cartoon in the world but it teaches team

work and teaches all these things kids can learn from. if that goes i'm moving to new zealand. iraauck land. steve: you don't have to tell me about your dog in the neighborhood. i live in your neighborhood. gone with the wind, hbo has taken that down momentarily they say so they can provide some sort of historical context about what was going on in the united states tattoo explain why that movie was the way it was created. ted cruz tweeted this out 14 hours ago. he said here is a radical idea. don't censor gone with the wind. don't censor blazing saddles. don't censor quentin tarentino. don't censor anything, joe concha? >> gee, that's great that ted cruz writes that and he is a great follow on twitter. he has good thoughts on there i would rather see tom cruise talk about this or other people in hollywood saying this is going too far.

that's enough. because you know what's going to happen next, steve. a show like seinfeld which was politically incorrect at times. that's going to be gone. and cheers is going to be gone mostly all white cast. find all these reasons to take shows off the air because of maybe racial diversity. i saw that 16 candles they want to take off of movies forever because it promotes all these horrible sexism type of troops. and i see that and i say we have got to go, man. speaking of going, i have to go as well. take a morning dip it in the local pond, only way to keep all the muscles work. quite cool but works effectively. steve steve by the way you are in phase 2 now in your neighborhood. >> thank you. steve: joe concha joining us from new jersey. retired judge tapped to review michael flynn's case department of justice should be blocked from dropping charges. but judge napolitano says there should never have been a case at all. you will hear from the judge coming up next.

>> the american people deserve resolution as to what happened to president trump, his campaign and then, of course, subsequent to that as well. it's important for the american people. it's important for our system of justice and it's important certainly for the media to accurately report and cover that as well. what that resolution looks like remains to be seen. brian: wow, that is the state department spokesperson talking about department of justice spokesperson talking about the ruling yesterday by a judge's attorney to analyze the decision on the michael flynn case by the ag barr to not prosecute michael flynn. let's bring in judge andrew napolitano is he fox news senior judicial analyst. it doesn't mean he is old. it means he is high-ranking. [laughter] brian: let me get your quote

from john. see if you agree. the facts arranged the filing of the government's motion constitute clear evidence of gross prosecutorial abuse. they reveal unconvincing effort to disguise as legitimate a decision to dismiss that is based solely on the fact that flynn is a political ally of president trump. what about that conclusion from john gleason? >> let me start with full disclosure judge gleason and i have been friends for 40 years i have great respect for him as a judge and legal thinker. i wish he had not injected politics in this even though politics is everywhere these days there are two issues here. one was there a basis for the fbi to pursue general flynn and two did general -- actually three issues. did general flynn commit a federal crime and can his guilty plea be undone? so for number one, i don't believe that there was a basis

for the fbi to pursue general flynn. at the time they knocked on his door, this is four days into donald trump's presidency january 24, 2017 they had a transcript of all of his conversations with ambassador kislyak. they knew everything he said to the ambassador and the ambassador said to him. so no purpose would be served by asking him for his recollection of those conversations which is to test that recollection which is not a legitimate law enforcement purpose. two, did general flynn lie? yes general flynn did lie because judge gleeson filed in his brief yesterday a transcript of the conversation. a transcript of the interview by the fbi agents and he did. three, county justice department undo an improper, inappropriate baseless prosecution? that's the issue before judge

sullivan. now, if the justice department had said before general flynn pleaded guilty, you know, we decided we don't want to go down this road. we made a mistake, we shouldn't have been here. there is very little leeway on the part of the court to undo it. but, after flynn pleaded guilty and a guilty plea is the same thing as a conviction, judge sullivan has the duty to find out what happened here. for three years the doj said this guy was a bad guy and he lied. he testified under oath twice that he lied. now you want to undo it. let me see what happened. so judge gleeson, who is judge sullivan's lawyer in this, is basically saying to the appellate court, let the trial court find out what happened before you intercede. we will find out friday when this oral argument takes place. steve: yeah. there is so many judges and moving parts to this story. but, i think what sullivan has zeroed in on, judge, is the fact that look, he committed perjury.

and you touched on this. he said he was guilty but then he said he was not guilty. so, what is it? he perjured himself in my courtroom what else am i supposed to do. when the department of justice says gte rid of it, i can't get rid of it. >> you are right. you are right. that is the problem. in federal court, when you plead guilty, you are under oath. so, if you lie in the guilty plea, that is an independent crime. and, in federal court, when you commit a crime in the courtroom, in the presence of the judge, the judge can convict you and sentence you, not for perjury, but for contempt of court. without a jury trial. meaning if judge sullivan wanted to, and if he agreed with judge gleeson that general flynn either lied to the fbi or lied under oath to him, he could send them directly to jail without a jury trial. gleason is saying don't do that don't do that find out what

happened. find out why the doj changed its mind. find out, judge sullivan if this is a real case or if it isn't and then make the call. i think judge gleeson's rationale minus the politics that brian just read is the right way to go and i hope that's what the appellate court will do. ainsley: judge, you mentioned the appellate court the trial court on friday. what happens next and what happens if biden does win in november? will this be -- how will this affect this michael flynn case? >> oh, boy. i hope that the michael flynn case is over with before november. he does have the constitutional protection against double jeopardy, meaning if the appellate court on friday or some time after friday. friday is the oral argument, orders judge sullivan to acquit general flynn, that's the end of it. a new doj cannot reprosecute him

for the same charge. brian: yeah it. better be wrapped up by then. thank you, judge, appreciate it. will senior judicial analyst judge napolitano in his chambers. ainsley: thank you, judge. brian: meanwhile jillian meally is poised to give us the rest of the headline news. a lot on your plate today. jillian: a lot of news we are following. new york city detective union is turning the tables on violent rioters disrupting peaceful protests. >> if you assault a new york city detective and there are no consequences from the criminal justice system who will be behind our detectives and pursue these cases civilly and send a message to the criminal element that you are not going to get away with this. jillian: the president of the detectives vowing to sue anyone who injured nypd officers. an attorney says if they want to sue citizens then the detectives will need to surrender the legal restrictions protecting them. republicans in wisconsin are

steve: good morning, it is thursday june 11th, 2020. today president trump is heading to a dallas church to talk race relations and police reform. ainsley: it comes after emotional testimony from george floyd's brother in washington. brian: yup, kristin fisher is live at the white house as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle race to draft reform bills. we will see if anything gets anywhere. kristin? >> good morning, brian, ainsley and steve. president trump should be leaving the white house in just a few hours for dallas, texas where he is going to be holding a round table with local law enforcement leaders. and the topic of policing

reforms front and center on capitol hill yesterday as george floyd's brother made an emotional plea to members of congress to make sure that his brother did not die in vain. >> he di he didn't deserve to dr $20. i'm asking you is that what a black man is worth? $20? this is 2020. the people elected you to speak for them to make positive change. george's name means something. you have the opportunity here today to make your names mean something, too. >> also on capitol hill yesterday, the sister of a federal protective officer who was shot and killed during a protest for george floyd that turned violent. >> it is a ridiculous solution to proclaim that defunding limitpolice departments is a son for police brutality and discrimination. it gets us nowhere as a nation

and removes the safety net of protection that every citizen deserves from their community's elected officials. >> now house democrats have already put forward the justice in policing act which does not call for defunding police departments but does include banning choke holds and other reforms. meanwhile senate republicans are workings or on an alternate bill led by senator tim scott. yesterday he fired back at claims that he is used by republicans to draft this bill. he said on twitter, quote: let me get this straight you don't want the person who has faced racial profiling by police been pulled over dozens of times or speaking out for years drafting this? he also noted that while he is the only black republican senator, that there are only two black democratic senators. so t use senator tim scott's wos quote stop pretending there is some huge racial diversity gap in the senate. brian, ainsley and steve? steve: alall right.

kristin fisher object streets of washington, d.c. if you noticed lafayette square behind her reopened late yesterday: also, yesterday, the family of george floyd and al sharpton announced on the streets of washington, d.c. probably in august they are going to have what they hope is a thousand person march to coincide with the 57th annual march on washington, d.c. they know that because the national park service has received a permit request. meanwhile, it sounds as if the president of the united states after he goes to dallas later today will sit down with harris faulkner to have an interview. you will see portions of that tonight on "special report" and, of course, her program tomorrow. one of the other people who spoke at the congressional hearing yesterday was pastor darrell scott co-chair for black voices for trump 2020. he framed what is going on in the country.

>> when you think of a police car you think of a squad car pulling up to arrest somebody. there are so many different services that the police department provides that the police department would not be able to provide without the necessary funding. even response time is something. you know, in certain areas in the inner city, the police response is none at all. they just won't come. simply because they don't have the manpower to come. so we have to have a hire priority in the police force that we want to maintain safety for the law abiding residents of any community. steve: right. of course in washington, d.c. they are talking about legislation. the president is talking about some sort of executive action. we also know that the president of the united states is going to resume his rallies next week on june 19th. he's going to go to tulsa, which is june 19th, is the national commemoration of the end of slavery. also known as juneteenth. so you have got to figure, ainsley, that the president will talk at that rally that i'm sure will get a lot of coverage about race relations and about police.

ainsley: the president, republicans and democrats all agree that there needs to be reform. there needs to be change. how we do that, people do disagree on. yesterday we saw that in front of the house judiciary hearing. so the sister of one of the slain officers, it was the slain officer that was killed on the stepping of the u.s. courthouse in oakland, california. she said i want america to make a change so that no one has to wake up to a phone call that i received saying that my brother was shot dead and murdered. he was clearly an officer, so she supports law enforcement. she said defunding the police is ridiculous. she went into more about her brother, what he was like as a person and so did the brother of george floyd. both describing them, george floyd is a gentle giant. who was begging for his life. and that he was begging for his mom as he was dying and still calling the officer sir. and the slain officer's sister was talking about how her brother at one point when their mother was dying she collapsed on the floor and he picked her up and he put her in her bed

because that's where she wanted to die. she said my question is who will pick up pat thing an patrick ans legacy. it's a responsibility for all of us. please don't let his name go in vain. dan bongino also spoke at that hearing. he will be live with us in 20 minutes at 7:30 to talk about what happened inside that room. brian? brian: so, guys, from sunday to monday, we saw this incredible footage where you saw the national guard and police officers walking out of a police precinct in seattle. they said it was an effort to deescalate the situation because protesters wouldn't leave. so let me get this straight. they thought it was a good move to abandon a police precinct one week after one was burned down in minneapolis or attempted to burn down as they abandoned that now, since that time, they have taken it over. they have taken over blocks. they now call it basically a no go zone. and governor inslee of washington, this is happenings

in seattle, said well this whole takeover this is news to him. really? they have taken over blocks in the middle of the city. they have their own set of laws, rules, tents, games, action, business plans, do you believe this? and now they have demands. and their demands are this: the following: socialized health medicine for the city of seattle. free public housing. public education to decrease the average class size in city schools, increase teacher salaries. naturalization services for immigrants. those are illegal immigrants. they don't use the term illegal. general community development and parks. so for seven bucks. theseven -- seven blocksthey cof seattle. personal cities given away because american politicians thought it would be a good idea to take an american police force and stand them down. what a horrendous scene, a

horrible precedent, steve. steve: well, you know, that particular area that you are talking about, brian, they are now referring to as chaz, the capitol hill autonomous zone. the reason the police left the east precinct is because apparently the officers in the police department had received credible threats that the building was going to be burned down. and so they boarded it up to keep people out of it, it's not occupied. and to keep people from throwing incendiary devices in to. what's interesting about this no cop zone around there in the seattle "times" this morning there is an item that said that police officer said they heard from capitol hill members that some protesters have set up barricades in the neighborhood and apparently are demanding to see people's i.d. and some instances residents and business owners asked to pay a fee to operate in a roughly 6 block area around the precinct.

of course, nobody has that legal authority to do that the officer says this is a crime of extortion. the president of the united states took aim at the governor, governor inslee and said instantly was crazy to allow it to be taken over by domestic terrorists. the presidents says if they don't take it back i will. this is not a game not a game to michael. he was on last night with laura and had this to say about what is going on in seattle. >> the city has lost all the political will to enforce the rule of law. there is an unreasonable activist fringe that is unfortunately stealing the peaceful protest message for justice for george floyd. we are true public safety professionals that took annual oath of service.

we are holding our elect elected leaders responsible for this travesty on the overall amazing seattle community that our law-abiding citizen that are yearning for police officer, public safety services which we professionally provide on a daily basis. steve: while the dialogue across the country ainsley and brian has been about defunding the police actually in seattle these folks are very adamant. they don't want to defund the police. they simply want it dismantled. ainsley: apparently inside the zone people were congregating as free snacks are reportedly dolled out at no kopko on. the president is demanding that seattle take back that cop-free zone. brian? brian: demanding the liberal mayor resign for a police force

to abandon a precinct because of threats. fefer precinct was abandoned because of threats we wouldn't have any precincts. if you can't protected your own precinct or not allowed to my goodness there is a threat might burn down the city so we just leave. you show weakness, they walk all over you. if other cities emulate this, this country will be in chaos in three days. unbelievably unacceptable. as they try to take over and extort fellow businesses. we won't burn you down if you pay us money. that's the law of the land now? that's the law without cops? good luck with that. meanwhile, today the senate judiciary committee will vote on a subpoena authorization for the proof into the origins into the russia investigation. remember that? steve: sure do. griff jenkins is live in our nation's capital with more as the committee also looks into charges of fisa abuse regarding that russia collusion thing. griff? griff: that's right. steve, ainsley, and brian good

morning. buckle up. here we go in a few hours. that committee will vote to give subpoena authorization for deep dive into the origins of the fisa abuse. staffers like carter page later determined to be flawed by the doj's inspector general. as well as all matters related to the oversight of the the crossfire hurricane investigation. gral's subpoenas authorization documents, witness and testimony from witnesses including but not limited to former fbi director james comey. deputy director andrew mccabe. james clapper, former cia director john brennan and former acting attorney general sally yates. in all 53 individuals listed on the authorization q this after former deputy attorney general rod rosenstein testified last week before the committee making it a mission that he was not sure if he fully read the entire fisa renewal application for page. and it comes after a day current attorney general bill barr tells fox news bret baier what he has seen so far in u.s. attorney

john durham's probe into fis is a abuses is quote very troubling. barr says it doesn't rise to the level of president obama and vice president biden. but when the report is made public, some names may be recognizable. we shall see. as for the authorization for graham, he only needs a majority of the committee vote to get it. assuming he gets it, timing on the hearings run clear. at the moment democrats wants to keep having these hearings, apparently. brian, ainsley, steve? ainsley: thank you so much, griff. marsha blackburn was asked about this. she is the senator from tennessee. and she said the american people need to have answers. listen to this. >> what taxpayers want to know is who cooked up this plot? who decided that it should be carried out and who did the dirty work? how did it end up in an oval office meeting on january 5th? so there are 39 people that were involved in this plot there are 14 that were involved in the unmasking. how did they get those fisa

warrants and how was it they knew that dossier was not legit but, yet, you had them use it for the fisa warrants. the hearing we did last week with rod rosenstein, that left more questions unanswered than answered. brian: i like the fact that they said quickly a.g. barr said it's not about biden not about obama. because then it would be pure politics. even if they did have a role in it, the focus as trey gowdy said yesterday, you could call one guy it's peter strzok. he's the linchpin. his fingerprints are all over this for both investigations. finally, instead of talking at or about, we're going to get comey, clapper, samantha power, all trying to justify their actions. i just hope america will be paying attention. meanwhile jillian mele you are paying attention all morning. you have the rest of the news.

>> that's right. we begin with a fox news alert. right now a manhunt is underway for the gunman who ambushed california deputies shooting one in the head. mason james lira, a homeless man accused of opening fire on a police station. when deposit i deputies respondy were met with a hail of bullets. >> we had unprovoked attack on local law enforcement. and, in my opinion, an act of a coward. jillian: the wounded deputy is in serious but stable condition with a bullet lodged in his head. confirmed covid-19 cases in the united states surpassing 2 million overnight. the nation hitting that grim milestone as several states have seen a surge in cases. nearly 113,000 americans have died. johnson and johnson is now ramping up their efforts to find a vaccine. the company says they will move up human trials from september to july. 1,000 adults in the u.s. and belgium will be tested.

america is saying about this moment in time. >> good morning, steve, thank you for having me. as you said prior, the president is hosting these listening sessions to listen to faith leaders and community leaders, business leaders about hey, what's going on in the community. you know, to hear their sentiment, to hear their heart and to come together, you know, as stakeholders, as citizens, as the president, even a vice president is doing listening sessions and members of the administration. i think it's vital that we do this so we as servant leaders hear the heart beat and hear the concerns of the community from all across every sector of our community, come together with a viable solution and as i said before, you know, this is a time to huddle up, and in the huddle, man, there is all different personalities, there is all different people, but there is one common goal and that's what we need to do here in america and in our community is come

together with a strategy that benefits the entire country. steve: yeah. we heard in those sound bites just before we started talking to you, scott those speakers were talking about how the republican party needed to offer more to the communities that are most vulnerable right now. what should the republican party be thinking about? >> well, i think the republican party so your point needs to be thinking about a solution such as healthcare disparities. disparities in education. disparities in economic development. but not just a republican party, republican, democrat, black, white, all parties coming together because these solutions don't just impact minorities. they don't just impact people inside of the community. they impact our entire country. so when the republicans come together and democrats come together because, steve, you know, as you think about, man, poverty does not have a party.

poverty doesn't have a color. it effects all of us, either directly or indirectly and so as we concentrate on these disparities inside of the stressed communities as it pertains to law enforcement, as it pertains to healthcare and education and business, we have layers of focus inside these communities. but in the end it effects our entire country. as the distressed communities go so go our country. steve: there you go. poverty doesn't have a party. i will remember that as a part of our conversation today. scott turner, thank you very much for joining us before the round table with the president. good luck to you today. >> yes, sir. thank you for having me. steve: you bet. all right. 7:24 here in the east. protesters taking over parts of the city of seattle declaring it a cop-free zone with a list of demands for city hall. tammy bruce on the chaos unfolding in the pacific northwest. she's coming up next.

anarchy. the police voluntarily gave up their precinct. >> that's right. and under orders effectively of the city, right? they are in seattle. the way that those individuals. [broken audio] city council member gave them access. this is a dynamic where clearly there is mayhem. they wanted a cop-free zone. immediately they began policing themselves and there are videos of assaults, of general mayhem. it's like a escape from new york. it's like these wild films where there is literally mayhem and anarchy and chaos. you use the word occupy. it is reminiscent of occupy wall street. where there were reports of alleged rapes. where assaults of women. remember, in that zone while they think it's cop-free, there are residents in there. there are businesses in there. and the city has allowed this effectively to occur.

there is one message, regardless of what you think of donald trump here. the democrats are doing this because they think it will help them politically. the fact is trump is the only person standing between the rest of the country and that kind of situation in seattle. in addition, brian, to all the stuff we are seeing with the chopping off of heads of statues, the toppling of statues. none of this has anything to do with police brutality or [inaudible] it den greats human beings and den greats the country and certainly dangerous and the democrats are at least happening in cities where you have got progressive and democrats are allowing this to occur. brian: gotcha. yeah, so, tammy, a couple of things, just so you know, if these police officers are allowed to be police officers this wouldn't have happened. >> correct. brian: politicians.

they gave up a precinct and it's mind boggling can you imagine this happen? there is a threat of violence we don't want other areas to catch on fire. really? you are the police. you are not some deli. stop the violence. find out who made the call and made the threat. if everyone who threatens a police station is going to get that police station abandoned we will be in anarchy. now the sheriff is asking to get back into the precinct. we would like to be able to return to the east precinct to our normal operations this would improve our response times and capabilities in the neighborhood. oh, you think so? this governor who actually pushed everybody into their homes and from their businesses because of the pandemic is allowing these rights and a seven block takeover in the heart of the city. gutless. >> gutless, political. they do not care about the individuals. nobody in seattle wants. this no democrat and no regular person in business or as a resident wants this.

this is political. they think there is going to be some kind of political advantage to this. and right now people are cannon fodder for them. and the police, can you imagine the frustration when it's your job to help people and you are being removed from the scene some reason they want this chaos and mayhem to continue. americans have got to stand against this. it's not nationwide, obviously.

and hopefully some expertise going forward on a very serious issue. sadly some -- some but not all the democrats, to be fair, but some of the democrats there, ainsley yesterday were not there to solve any problems. they were simply there to create new ones. and what they were doing on an issue by the way everyone, there were, i believe, 13 guests. three from the republican side and 10 from the democrat side. none, zero, zero. not even a remote disagreement what happened to mr. floyd. irving herds the word of from employed's brother and ms. jacobs who lost her brother a law enforcement officer shot during the riots. and the sympathies expressed were unanimous. sadly though, as i said, some of the democrats were just there to stoke the flames of division. they weren't -- make no mistake. they were not there to solve any problem. they were only there to create new ones for political advantage and frankly it was shameful. listen to me. let me be absolutely clear.

on this network in front of all of our viewers. i'm not going to let it happen with the police. i'm not. what happened to mr. floyd was a disgrace. the police officers i know are ashamed by it. sad that the badge was tarnished by what this guy did in minneapolis. i'm not going to allow it. i have a platform and use every last breath in my body to make sure every last police officer in the country is not thrown under the bus because of the actions of one who they roundly rebuked. not going to happen. finest people i ever worked with i'm not going to let it happen. brian: not only do you have this platform but you also have a very powerful podcast. in terms of actual reform, senator tim scott is working on some things. republicans are working on. minority in the house. and democrats led by the congressional blackhawk caucus arblack caucus.one of the thingt controversial that republicans are not buying into is this ending qualified immunity for police officers. so, that means if we end this,

and someone wants to sue police officer bongino because they didn't like the way they were treated, you are immune from that. democrats want to see that go away. what's the downside? >> the downside -- you know, i brought this up on capitol hill yesterday. has anybody thought this through? anyone? qualified immunity -- by the way, do you know what i find interesting, brian? no one wants to repeal the immunity congress men and congresswomen get for talking on the floor of the house. no one is talking about that. no one wants to remove the immunity for judges can't remove judges for decisions in the course of their work but do it for cops. now, let me be crystal clear. any illegality on the part of a police officer, obviously the tragedy with mr. floyd, that doesn't apply. you can absolutely be sued for engaging in criminal behavior. you are not immune from criminal law if you are a police officer. but the ability to make it open season on police officers, to sue them for every perceived gripe against them, you ever want to have a cop again on your

street. if you let this go through, can you kiss that goodbye. brian, you think police officers have $100,000 legal slush fund? they work for starting salaries in the $30,000 a year range many of them. brian: i know. >> do you think they have a slush fund there to pay a lawyer to be sued three and four times a day? do you realize i'm not stigmatizing all lawyers. it would be open season for some of the bad lawyers among us to sue every single cop every time there is a gripe. has anybody thought this through? this is what i don't understand about congress. don't ever conflate congress doing something with doing something good. this is a really stupid idea. one more thing not only not get any cops or recruit any cops. cops on the street are not going to touch anyone ever. they will not want to get sued. anyone you put hands on is going to sue you and the lawyers are going to have signs up in every high crime area. had police interaction? call us 1-800-whatever.

this will be a disaster nobody has thought through. steve: well, you thought through the ramifications ultimately and such good point that there are already plenty of laws on the books to take care of the bad cops. but you know how this works, dan bongino. the scrutiny that the cop on the beat today is feeling is unlike anything he has felt during your lifetime. >> yeah. steve, you know what? when i was on the receiving end, unfortunately i had my house broken into while i was home at night when i lived in is a verna park, maryland. and i woke up in the morning and a police officer responded. i have to tell you first time i was a victim of a serious crime. i was home. i was glad i didn't come downstairs because it wouldn't have ended well in my house and nobody wants that i thought to myself gosh, i have never seen this from the receiving end. i was always the police officer taking that report. i thought to myself i did this

every day. this isn't a self-praise moment 8 hours a day five days a week you respond to people, steve, in the worst moments of their lives. a missing child. home invasion, goad for bid a rape or murder support responding to the family. it finally hit me that wears on you. it's not an excuse for poor behavior. don't mistake my words. it's not. please, i just ask for basic understanding. we have to do better as police officers. we have the greatest responsibility in the world. you can take a life and take someone's freedom. we have to do better. it's the most powerful job in the world. even the president of the united states can't do that we can we have to do better. i just ask the public for some understanding that these men and women are dealing with the worst moments of people's lives every single day of their life. that's a lot. that's a big burden. just open your minds for a minute and understand this is a two-way street. we have to do better. i get that but the public has to do better and understanding, too. this is a really, really hard job.

just see what they see once in a while. and when i saw it for the first time that this police officer was responding to me and it was the morning -- that was the first call he took that day. they have to do this every day. it's a lot. it's a lot to ask. just make it a two-way street it. will do a lot of good for all of us. ainsley: hundreds of them are now retiring in new york city as a result of this. they say it's going to take crime ridden cities and decaying cities for them to reverse course. we will have to see. thanks so much, dan. >> you got it guys, thanks. ainsley: 48 minutes after the top of the hour. businesses slowly being allowed to reopen in phases. our next guest says she shouldn't have to wait. her gym for children has all of the safety standards to reopen now. arthritis pain gel, the first and only full prescription strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory gel available over-the-counter. new voltaren is powerful arthritis pain relief in a gel. voltaren. the joy of movement.

midas can help get you there. through july 4th celebrate your freedom with our $17.76 oil change... that includes a tire rotation. when you're ready, your car should be too. midas.

ainsley: as new york businesses slowly make their way through phased reopenings, one business owner whose recreational gym for children is considered to be in phase 4. and she argues she shouldn't have to wait and has the safety precautions in place to open now. so let's bring in the owner of gymies gym it's sarah in brooklyn. good morning to you, sarah. >> good morning, ainsley, thanks for having me. >> you are welcome.

you closed middle of march. you are a single mother raises two boys. how much longer can you survive like this? >> i mean, for a lot of businesses, i don't think that they're even really holding it together. you know, some of us got the ppps, some of us got the idel. we can't hold on much longer. it's devastating what's happening to small businesses in new york. ainsley: it is. are you getting any word, any clarification of when you think you might be able to open? >> i mean, the more troubling thing is that there is no word and i know this about friends who are involved in day camp as well. day camp is slated to open june 29th. they still don't know what their regulations are meant to be. like how can you be preparing for something that's two and a half weeks out that you are supposed to be taking seriously but nobody is telling you how to do it. ainsley: i know you just renovated in september. you spent a lot of money doing that you need these funds more than ever. you have a huge facility. 2,000 square feet. you are able to do this successfully, you say.

howe are you going to do it. >> we most definitely can. specifically now that our students are such an interesting school schedule. we could literally, it will take a lot more manpower, a lot more hours from our employees, but they are excited to get back to work. they want to get back into the gym. so many students that literally for their mental health we are at a place now where kids have been home for three months and kids need to interact with other children. and parents also it's been incredibly stressful to be home and not have any child care options. you know, we know that for healthcare workers there have been school learning and no outbreaks happening. we know it can be done safely. ainsley: you know as a mom of a young child in new york we rely on gyms like yours. i can't thank you enough for providing those. we have central park and these gyms. we live in apartment complexes and the kids need to get out and run. as a mom, i know we all did the zooming, so we're all worried about our children. are we teaching them what they need to know?

are they falling behind because we are not professional teachers? and then they are not getting out there running and camps we haven't had a word -- we have heard that camps are going to open soon but yet no regulations so we don't really have any details. so the camps are writing us saying we don't have details yet. we will let you know as soon as possible. are you experiencing any of this? >> yeah, i mean, i heard of a lot of camps that said they were opening but now being like two weeks out and not having any direction they don't feel comfortable being able to tackle this the way they may need. to say and a lot of camps in the past week have actually made the decision to close. because of it. and i mean really it's looking at leadership right now. and i don't know if they understand the magnitude of their choices they are having on so many families in new york. these policies are simply draconian and i feel like living in new york city we are living in a dystopian novel. i really feel like, you know,

people who are in leadership need to take a look at these decisions. you know, the cdc have markers and guidelines. we have already met them. there should not be a lockdown in place the way there is in new york city now. and because children, particularly ages 2 to 5 they need to move. their brains -- they are not learning -- my son is 4 and my other son is 2. they are not going to be learning even if they were in school the way that a 6, 7 or 8-year-old would. they would be learning through movement. the kids need to get back to playing. ainsley: all right. well, sarah, thank you so much. if you live in brooklyn go, visit her gym when it opens. thank you, sarah. all the best. >> thank you. ainsley: dave rubin and charles payne live next hour. we'll be doing what we do best. providing some calm in your day. with virtual, real-time tours of our vehicles as well as remote purchasing.

crossed the line. do you think so? steve: meanwhile on capitol hill , nancy pelosi the speaker of the house is now calling on confederate statutes to be removed from the capitol and president trump is calling for law and order in the city of seattle after protesters there headed toward the east police precinct which has been abandon ed and boarded up, and now they created their own capitol hill autonomous zone known as chaz. today president trump will hold a round table on policing and race relations in the city of dallas, texas. ainsley: kristin fisher is live at the white house with those details on the heels of an emotional house hearing on police reform yesterday. kristin? reporter: hey guys good morning. yeah, the topic of policing reforms front and center on capitol hill yesterday, as george floyd's brother made an emotional appeal to members of congress urging them to make sure that his brother did not die in vein.

>> he didn't deserve to die over $20. i'm asking is that what a black man is worth? twenty dollars? this is 2020. the people elected you to speak for them, to make positive change. george's name means something. you have the opportunity here today to make your names mean something too. reporter: now during that hear ing republican congressman jim jordan said that the american people understand that it's time for real debate and real solutions in terms of how police treat black americans >> do you know what else the american people fully understand? they know, as the chairman said, the vast vast majority of law enforcement officers are responsible, hard working, heroic, first responders. they know it is pure insanity to defund the police. and the fact that my democrat colleagues won't speak out against this crazy policy is just that, frightening.

reporter: house democrats have already put forward the justice in policing act which does not call for defunding police departments, but it does include banning chokeholds and other reforms. meanwhile senate republicans are working on an alternative bill and its being led by senator tim scott and yesterday he fired back at claims that he's being " used by republicans to draft this bill." he said, "let me get this straight. you don't want the person whose faced racial profiling by police , been pulled over dozens or times or speaking out for years drafting this "? as for president trump today, in just a few hours he's heading down to dallas, texas to hold a round table with local law enforcement leaders, and then, guys, on next friday, he's going to be holding his first rally in oklahoma. this is going to be his first rally since covid-19 stopped them a few months ago. brian, ainsley and steve? brian: kristin thanks so much

and keep in mind i'm sure he's talking about law and order and how things have to change for the better, maybe we extend the academy and change the curriculum and bring different techniques and move it forward in which law enforcement will buy into and those that think the best thing to do is to defund the cops and diminish law enforcement's presence there's another side of the story about the law enforcement. we told you a story about in california where an officer got shot in the head and is struggl ing to live right now and her brother, patrick underwood was shot as he was stationed in oakland in front of a police house. he was shot randomly by a be assailant, and she hears all of this about defunding police officers and says this is ridiculous. >> police brutality is any kind , must not be condoned; however it is blatantly wrong to

create an excuse out of discrimination and disparity, to loot and burn our communities, to kill our officers of the law. it is a ridiculous solution to proclaim that defunding police departments is a solution to police brutality and discrimination because it's not a solution. it gets us nowhere as a nation and removes the safety net of protection that every citizen deserves from our communities elected officials. brian: you defund, you get lesser candidates. you defund you get longer times from when you call 911, when there is an emergency. believe it. there will be an emergency. the police officers don't start the emergencies, they respond to them, the ones that go on the other side of the law, hopefully there will be some more, there will be more prices to pay for that. i think that the key is, steve

and ainsley, is to find a way to work with the unions where the officers are protected but if there are bad officers and there are multiple violations like that we saw with this minneapolis cop and so many others as the wall street journal writes about today, there should be some type of ramifications for bad behavior. what the union not marginalized playing a role but right now, maybe in some cases, the officer s feel so protected they're going outside the law with their law enforcement power s that they have. steve: well, i think, brian ultimately something will happen on capitol hill because we have heard from politicians of every stripe that they will eventually find common ground on something. what is common ground right now is that while so many people are talking about we need to defund the cops because look what they do, nobody on capitol hill for the most part there are a

few on this but nancy pelosi is not talking about defunding the cops. she's just talking about other things to do to try to find common ground although they're not really trying to find common ground right now with the republicans because they have not been included in figuring out what this new law will look like, so you've got tim scott working with the white house, you've got mitch mcconnell has signed on, he said he's up for something, but he needs to take a look at what it looks like but then you've got the radicals who have taken the extremists that is to say who have taken over parts of downtown seattle. they don't want to defund the cops. they want to dismantle the cops and also want to get rid of guns on cops and they want to get rid of riot shields and in other words, the ways, the symbols of power and things that keep police officers safe, they want to get rid of them, ainsley? ainsley: well you know yesterday , i was listening to both sides and we're all on the same page about reform, and

the lady that you heard from who lost her brother patrick under wood and then the brother of george were both saying they don't want their siblings to die in vein, and when you talk about the solutions, brian, you're absolutely spot on. we need to get rid of the bad actors that are working for the police departments, the ones that have multiple violations against them because think about that. those individuals, we can't stand for another one to lose their life at the hand of one of these bad actors, and she said yesterday that the sister of bat rick underwood said america's in pain and she is crying, can you hear her? and then she said the actions of a few are dividing our nation, to your point, brian. the actions of a few have divided our nation, but then the brother of george floyd said his brother is not going to die in vein and thank goodness for having these conversations now so that things can change because we've seen too many of these stories on the news, too many of these individuals dying over $20, and so it is something

we need to talk about our country will be better for it in the long run, and i'm really thankful that congress is talking about this and you're right. they all want changes just a matter of how to do that hopefully you can come to a solution soon. brian: yeah, the non-starter is the immunity situation, removing that immunity for cops is going to have them either leave the force or sit in their cars because who would want to risk their future of making $41,000 a year knowing you could be sued by the people you're trying to help. so we'll stay tuned on that, and i won't sign anything without it good luck. so, let's move ahead. in case you missed this story with the blizzard of other information that came out if you're following michael flynn for three years his life has been on hold, he's lost his house, his career, he's buried in debt and now, the attorney general stepped up, lifted his case and said i'm going to dismiss the michael flynn conviction and confession, because he should never have been investigated to begin with, but when the judge was supposed

to sentence and michael flynn saw this he said i'm going to kind of ignore the attorney general and ask john gleason an attorney and former judge to look at this case and decide what i should do. and here is what gleason said yesterday. the facts surrounding the filing of the government's motions constitute clear evidence of gross abuse. they reveal an unconvincing effort to disguise as legitimate a decision to dismiss that is based solely on the fact that flynn is a political allie of president trump. interpreted for those who didn't go to law school? they're saying he lied, he admitted he lied, he should have been prosecuted the only reason he's not is because donald trump likes him and his attorney general is pointed by donald trump. that was the pushback came from judge napolitano an hour ago. listen. >> can the justice department undo an improper, inappropriate,

baseless prosecution? that's the issue before judge sullivan. now, if the justice department had said before general flynn pleaded guilty we decided we don't want to go down this road and we made a mistake. we shouldn't have been here. there's very little leeway on the part of the court to undo it but after flynn pleaded guilty and a guilty plea is the same thing as a conviction, judge sullivan has the duty to find out what happened here. steve: and that last part is the key. when michael flynn said yup, i'm guilty, judge sullivan regards that as committing perjury because now he says that's a lie because ultimately, what has come out since then and he tried to change his guilty plea, so ultimately, judge sullivan is going to figure out in the next couple of days what to do, oral arguments for the appeals court, i think tomorrow, so i think this thing is starting to come to a head, ainsley and we should

know sooner or later what michael flynn's fate is going to be. ainsley: a lot of americans say hasn't he been through enough and it remindss me when all of that information came out about peter strzok. the fbi, these agents, tell peter strzok we don't have enough derogatory information and peter strzok got an e-mail that says we'll keep going. doesn't that remind you of that? if the doj says let's drop the charges, and then this judge says no, let's keep going. we'll see how this all plays out let's hand it over to jillian back in our studio. jillian: that's right good morning. we begin right now with a fox news alert. a manhunt is underway for the gunman who ambushed california deputies shooting one in the head. mason james lira, a homeless man accused of opening fire on a police station when deputies responded they were met with bullets. >> we had a unprovoked attack on local law enforcement in my

opinion, an act of a coward. jillian: the wounded deputy is in serious but stable condition with a bullet lodged in his head police are also linking him to the murder of a homeless man. >> the republican convention staying in charlotte. committee members unanimously voting overnight to hold a scaled down event in august. only official business will be held there, however president trump's acceptance speech for the nomination will happen somewhere else. the rnc is in talks with several cities to host the celebration saying a final decision will be made soon. >> nascar racing under the lights on a historic night. nascar banning the confederate flag from all events before the race in mart martinsville. martin true ex jr. picks up the checkered flag. bubba wallace finishing 11th driving the black lives matter car, he's the first african american racer on nascar's top circuit in more than 45 years. the next cup series race is sunday afternoon at homestead

brian: nypd officials announcing this week more than 350 officers have been injured in the recent unrest. two weeks of riots and protests in response to the clashes, the new york city detectives union now turning the tables by suing violent rioters who attacked cops with one lawsuit

already filed joining us is the president of nypd detectives union, paul de jacamo. paul, how did it come to this that you have to do your own suing? >> well good morning to everyone thank you again for your support. we're very frustrated on what to do. these detectives who are being assaulted out on the street and the district attorney' office would not prosecute any of the cases. so we came up with this strategy , the officers of the dea, we sat down, we talked and our strategy was to bring civil suits against any individual that assaults a new york city police detective. brian: i'm watching this video again now, i mean there's probably an unbelievable amount of footage out there, and the constant stress you guys have been under and these clashes, so do you have, are you bringing up do these lawsuits cite individuals or are you

going after the city for not protecting you? >> right now we're going after the individuals. they committed the crime. they committed the assault. right now, we have one case filed. we're in the process of filing a second case in which there is an attempted murder case on the detective and we're explor ing a third case as we speak. brian: so here is a statement the civil rights attorney on the unions announcement here it is. that the police want to use the civil law as a tool in the policing, those of us who pay their salaries have the opportunity now to engage in some real reform which is stop the free lawyers for the police and stop the qualified immunity for the police. how do you feel about ron kuby saying that? >> those statements are in accurate and he's not at the riots getting bottles and urine thrown at him. when he comes to the riot and that happens to him, and he

tries to make an arrest let's see list his answer then. brian: good point. what happened? there used to be a sense of yes, sir, no, sir when it came to police officers. when did that stop for so many? >> i think, i don't know what happened to society, to turn on the police. i do know that most of society has a tremendous amount of respect for the police. we go out there every day new york city detectives, we solve homicides and crimes, for people of the city and those people are overwhelmingly supportive and thankful for the job that we do. brian: paul, over the last few days, he's getting unofficial words that hundreds are going to just start retiring from the nypd. officially unofficially what are you hearing? >> oh, i do hear that there is an up-tick in retirements and i

don't blame these officers. listen we're not paid to go out there and be assaulted and be abused on a regular basis. no job should have to sustain that type of abuse on a regular basis and get assaulted and not have the backing of the district attorneys of the governor of the mayor of the city council. it's despicable that they are not backing the police. brian: but they're cutting your funds or at least threatening to do that to start more sports programs for kids. unbelievable. >> they all employ the expertise of the new york city detectives that protect their lives, the politicians lives and their families. brian: yeah. and we saw that especially in los angeles where they cut over $100 million out of the budget already and were praised by senator kamala harris who wants to be next vice president. thanks so much, sir appreciate what you do.

best of luck with your lawsuit. >> thank you so much, we'll keep in touch and have a great day. brian: thank you. meanwhile, live pd off the air even though it's the number one syndicated show in the country, gone with the wind, done with the streaming service. where does the cancel culture end? dave rubin says this kind of censorship is dangerous. he's on deck. a lung cancer diagnosis can leave you holding your breath. ♪

ainsley: here are some quick headlines for you amazon is banning police departments from using facial recognition software for one year. the decision coming amid protests over the death of george floyd. the tech giant hopes it will give congress time to regulate the technology and i.c.e. is banned from making arrests of

courthouses in new york. a federal judge ruling the agency's practice is illegal saying it jeopardizes public safety. i.c.e. says it only makes courthouse arrests when necessary because some jails won't cooperate with them. steve? steve: thanks ainsley. critics say cancel culture has struck again from those to top editors residing from the new york times and the philadelphia inquiry after these stories ran in their papers to now when the classic film from 1939 gone with the wind now gone temporarily from hbo, as they add historical context to it. and the hit tv shows cops and livepd also getting canceled what does this all mean and how did we wind up here? let's talk to the author of " don't burn this book" dave rubi n. good morning to you. you've been talking about cancel culture for about five years, and here we are. >> here we are. well first off i just want to

let you know that i did actually cancel my hbo account yesterday i'm pretty sure i have family members that aren't that happy with me if you know what i mean. yes, you may remember a season 7 episode of seinfeld where kramer goes to march in the aids march and he refuses to wear the ribbon so he's doing the good thing but he just doesn't want to wear a ribbon and what happens is the mob decides to beat the crap out of kramer and that basically is where we're at at this point. what the left has become is a mob that will take out anyone who does not bow immediately when they want you to bow. i mean the idea we're going to take gone with the wind off hbo, we could take everything off. there is literally every television show ever, i mean look, family guy, the simpsons, seinfeld, every comedy will be gone. curb your enthusiasm will be gone. are we going to take off police academy movies? i mean, we could go through the litany of things that might

trigger somebody that might offend somebody. this is art. i mean we're going to have to go through all our music, all our movies all our tv shows, and what we'll be left with is you'll have to sit in a room with nothing in it and keep quiet. this thing is out of control. where are the adults in the room where is someone that is in corporate america that says no, do you know what? gone with the wind stands on its own as a movie of its time? and we're going to leave it there. we don't need to put a warning before someone watches a movie. we're not children and yet we're being treated like children. steve: yeah, you know, what hbo is going to do is add some kind of historical perspective about where we were as a nation back in 1939 when it came out, and when one of the stars won the oscar as well in a landmark award win. ted cruz tweeted this out. i wanted your reaction. here is a radical idea. don't sensor gone with the wind.

don't censor blazing saddles, don't censor anything. you know, you were talking about the political left. you're a registered democrat. you live in california. you were part of the political left for a little while. why did you make this trip to where you are right now? >> [laughter] you're going for me early in the morning. i am a registered democrat here in california but i want to be very clear that that really is just for technical purposes, because you know, california and la specifically, it's such a democratic stronghold that i want to be able to vote in primaries to try to make things a little more centrist, so i actually voted for biden in the primary which was really only a vote against bernie but yes i was a progressive for most of my life, and we're seeing fruit of what the progressives bring you. every city right now, that is rioting or seattle with its autonomous zone which sounds like some sort of sci-fi movie

like district 9, these are all run by far left progressives. why is it that la, my mayor, is bending his knee to protesters and rioters and it's happening in seattle and it's happening in new york city, with deblasio. oddly it's not happening in conservative or right-leaning or republican cities because there is a belief in rule of law but one of the things i've been talking about for years is what the left does is that they, because they feel something strongly, no one will ever stop somebody else from doing something so if you feel something strongly that means that it's right and the guy next to you feels something strongly so that means it's right so they are always in a constant road to chaos, and we're seeing that right now and even this morning president trump tweeted something about what's happening in seattle, and instead of responding in a mature way, the mayor basically mocked him and said something about go back to your bunker, but it's her city that now has a six-block

radius of absolute anarchy, so if this is what you want, if you're watching what's happening in these progressive cities if this is what you want then keep voting for these people but if this isn't what you want and by the way i don't think 90% of america wants chaos on the streets then we'll have to start voting these people out pretty quick. steve: all right, he knows something about product placement because his book is right over his shoulder. dave rubin. >> not bad, right? steve: in an age of unreason, very good product placement david thank you very much for joining us live from out on the west coast. >> good seeing you. steve: all right meanwhile, fox news alert. the weekly jobless claims number just out. just over 1.5 million people filing for first-time unemployment last week. we're going to call in charles payne for analysis. he's up next.

ainsley: we're back with a fox news alert the weekly jobless claims report has just been released. 1.54 million americans filing for unemployment last week, and that is right around what some economists predicted. the number of claims has dropped for 10 straight weeks, nearly 45 million americans have filed for unemployment since the start of this pandemic. let's bring in charles payne, host of "making money" on fox business. charles what's your reaction to these new numbers? charles: obviously, sequential ly to your point every week for over 10 weeks we've gotten better. these numbers actually were the first time i've seen in several weeks where they were less than what wall street anticipated. the key number though is what they call continuing claims. now that was down. that was down 333,000, but it's still almost a 21 million

americans, so it shows you how far we've come and how far we've got to go. brian: yeah, it looks like a number of self-employed workers since they're getting the supplement all insurance, they would normally get unemployment insurance but theophano get the supplemental so now we're up to 70 5,000 from 620,000, the week before and it makes people wonder looking at these numbers, do we need more help? here is secretary of treasury mnuchin on the possibility of more money coming from washington. >> i think we're going to seriously look at whether we want to do more direct money to stimulate the economy but i think this is all going to be about getting people back to work and we look forward to working with the entire senate on this. brian: kevin hassett feels the same way. do you think more money will be coming should be coming in another rescue package?

charles: the answer is yes, and yes. notice that steven mnuchin used the word "stimulate." i think all of the efforts by the federal government so far were actually to save the economy, or relief. if i was going to be a stickler on words i think we do need something to actually stimulate the economy. you know, brian if you look at p pp, where that money went and then you juxtapose that to the may jobs report, healthcare got most of the money almost 13% , created 424,000 jobs, professional services got the next largest 127,000 jobs, construction got 12% of those p pp funds, and 464,000 jobs. foodservices got 8% and 1.37 million jobs, so there's definitely a correlation there and here is one of the big problems if you stop doing it right now these states that are only just now reopening, they've got the most money but those small businesses are probably going to need to reload

california got $66 billion the small businesses there but they still obviously don't have customers. you can't take reservations. new york, new jersey, michigan are all in the top five. steve: it's interesting, charles you were talking about businesses reopening. i just looked, the stock market futures when the market opens in 15 minutes right now they're down between eight and 900 because the worry is about a spike in the number of cases of coronavirus in these states that have reopened. charles: first of all, i'm going to disagree with you 1,000 %. that is a bloomberg headline. that's the cnbc story. they have hated this rally since it began. every single day there was something scary around the corner. i don't think that's what the markets reacting to. let's put it in proper context. we have just seen the greatest 60 day rally in the history of the stock market. guess what folks? sometimes stocks pullback. i myself this week has had a

difficult time finding anything that's cheap so since march 23 until this week, the s&p was up 44%, the dow was up 47%, nasdac up 46%, so yes, to give some of this back i think a lot of it has to do with chairman powell yesterday and then a little bit luke warm speaking the ball and wall street wants to see more accommodation and aggressiveness and by the way that's what the fed did they stepped up quickly and decisively, yesterday they felt a little indecisive and that's part of the reason and guess what good old fashion profit taking. ainsley: all right charles thank you so much you can watch " making money" with charles at 2:00 p.m. on the fox business network. we'll see you soon charles. let's hand it over to jillian back in the studio with headlines. jillian: good morning and we begin with this warning to police officers. a new homeland security report says their personal information is being posted online including names and addresses. the department warning it could lead to police attacks.

investigators say some hackers are targeting officers to undermine their response to recent protests. dhs is urging officers to change their passwords to protect their information. >> voter registration in the u.s. plummets during the pandemic. according to a non-partisan research firm the number of new voters registered across 11 states in april decreased by 70% compared to april 2016. registration was already out pacing 2016 in most states through february but it started to decline in march when states began enforcing stay-at-home orders and the fight, to fight the spread of covid-19. >> republicans in wisconsin are comparing governor tony evers to richard nixon after learning he secretly reported a phone call without telling them. the call was over the states coronavirus restrictions listen to this. >> you're suggesting we shouldn't have a rule? >> no i'm not suggesting i'm just trying to understand the rationale for it.

jillian: his office says the call was reported to ensure any drafted deal reflected their conversation. state law allows phone conversations to be reported as long as one person is aware. >> trending stories on fox news, first up covid-19 vaccine testing will happen sooner than expected. johnson & johnson is reportedly starting human trials next month instead of september. the healthcare company says the move comes after success in early trials. >> next a nascar truck series driver is planning to quit after the racing company banned the confederal flag. they say it's not about the ban but the direction nascar is going. >> finally it's all about the strength. a man notices unexpected message on the bottom of an arby's bag saying it can hold 25 pounds so well he put it to the test with a 20-pound weight and the bag did not break. to read more about these stories and many more download the fox news app. bet you never noticed that on

the bottom of the bag, ha? steve: nope. brian: i've not noticed that jillian, thank you i'm always learning things and always have my pen out jotting notes down when jillian reads. much like janice, because janice is covering the weather for the world. janice, the world wants to know what we can expect today. >> janice: well, you know what we could see the potential for showers and thunderstorms along the east coast. yesterday we had hundreds of reports of wind damage because of what was left of cristobal, the remains of that storm up in canada, but we're still dealing with that cold front, so showers and thunderstorms along the east coast from florida all the way up towards maine. otherwise pretty quiet forecast however that front is going to kind of linger across portions of the southeast and the mid-atlantic and that could bring some flooding potential. there's the rest of your days forecast feels like summertime for much of the u.s. today. back to you, steve, ainsley, and brian. steve: thank you for the foxcast

>> i don't know. he's a magician. ainsley: what was your reaction? >> we were so surprised, it's so amazing to have such a genuine human being getting our message out to the world and it's just absolutely incredible to have such a huge support system and brad paisley kind of just took charge of the support system i guess and it was such a surprise, it took us both by surprise for sure, and its just been incredible. ainsley: i know he bought ought all of the budweiser at a local store and had them delivered to you. so, marcus, what is your message >> my message is for the people out here in this community, for everybody that's watching, positive, unite together and do it the right way. ainsley: that's a beautiful message. benjamin how did you all become

friends? >> we started working on cell phone towers together several years ago. we came from two completely opposite ends of the world, and he came from new york city long island area and i came from allegheny county, and it's incredible that we clicked as well as we did. it kind of, i guess, just backs our message where it doesn't matter where you came from, doesn't matter who you are or what you believe and what your traditions are or whatever. everybody can find their soul's counterpoint in somebody else, you just have to really try. ainsley: that's beautiful. marcus can you put some of those cell towers out here on long island where you're from because my cell does not work out here. >> [laughter] ainsley: you know what i'm talking about don't you? so everyone is watching this , we were so inspired by your story yesterday we had it in headlines and wanted to get you guys on. has anyone taken you up on this

and you're inviting people in the rochester community to come and sit in your driveway, have a beer, bring your families what's been the reaction? >> the reaction is priceless. people come and go,honk, come by , have a beer, just relax with us, have a conversation, and it's just a true blessing that the community is able to come and reach and talk to us about anything, that it doesn't have to be, you know, in particular, but it's just all walks of life and just having a good time and it's like so much out there, it just fills my heart with so much more. ainsley: marcus we all agree what happened to george floyd was just reprehensible. what do you think going forward is going to happen with our country? do you think all of the city won't die in vein that all of this conversation and change will occur? >> i think we will come together more and do stuff more peacefully than you know, putting out negativity out there

ainsley: uh-huh, benjamin how about you? >> i believe the same. that's one of the biggest reasons why marcus and i decided to do this , because change comes through good people and conversation and the violence and the looting and that, that just clouds the real issues. ainsley: we can all come together over a cold beer too. who doesn't want that, marcus you told our producers that you're reinventing happy hour and i hope other people around the country do the same thing. real quickly what's the address if people in your neighborhood want to come by? >> it's 2136 west jefferson road in pitsford, new york. ainsley: good deal. guys god bless you both thanks for doing this you're sending a powerful message to our country. >> thank you. ainsley: you're welcome. well for more inspiring stories like this visit our website, fox
