carley: very good point. i guess the main thing, desiree, thank you for feeding us. we love you so much. more news to come. a very big show on "fox & friends," which starts right now. [chanting] whose street? our street. [bleep] [changing] steve: good morning, it is friday, june 12th, 2020. a fox news alert. president trump vowing to take on seattle's cop-free autonomous zone known as chaz, brian. brian: unbelievable this is happening. protesters occupying an area that includes a police precinct. the city's mayor defending them overnight, ainsley. ainsley: that's right. ashley is live with more on the fourth straight night of chaos in seattle. ashley? >> good morning. this move follows weeks of

protests against police brutal. president trump blasting the situation saying he plans to take action if the city does not. >> i will tell you if they don't straighten that situation out we will straighten it out. what i mean is very simple, we're not going to let seattle be occupied by anarchists. >> seattle mayor defending the move by protesters who took over six blocks surrounding a police precinct referred to as capitol hill autonomous zone otherwise known as chaz. one person in the crowd seen escorting officers to the precinct yesterday causing quite an uproar from the crowd. watch this. >> please walk out. >> i'm being a peace keeper and taking him to the office. [bleep] [southing] >> will dirken went as far as calling protesters patriots while ignoring calls for her resignation. >> gathering and expressing first amendment rights demanding we do better as a society and

providing true equity for communities of color is not terrorism police not too happy about it. the chief saying this is not her call. >> the decision to board up the precinct, our precinct, our home the first precinct i worked in is something i have been holding off. you should know leaving the precinct was not my decision. >> and now a few things on the list. the group chaz is demanding. to defund and abolish the seattle police department and the attack criminal justice apparatus. officials say businesses in that autonomous zone are reportedly being asked to pay a fee to operate which is considered extortion. back to you guys. steve: all right, ashley sthohmier. interesting. they would like to turn it into

a community building of some sort. although on the last point the police chief is walking back, apparently that the protesters have been extorting local businesses. yesterday the chief said she could not confirm that's what happened. yesterdayet on wednesday it wase assistant chief police had heard from people in the area, business people and owners in that area asked to pay a fee to operate in the capitol hill autonomous zone or chaz which is extortion. it's protection money. so now they say you know we don't have any evidence of that. but they were talking about it, the police were, a couple of days ago. jason rants who does a radio show in seattle was on with tucker last night talking about what we are seeing in that six block area around the capital in washington. >> mayor jenny durken earlier today said what we see is happening isn't really happening. despite the fact that they had to board up all of the windows and the doors to the east

precinct before removing all of their expensive equipment and all of their evidence and everything that they had there and then put a fence around it. they said they weren't actually abandoning the building. there is not a cop in sight by a cover anarchist and antifa there is a group in this area chaz that are anarchist and antifa and there are some community organizers who have decided to completely take over. we have ceded this land to these individuals. steve: brian, the good news is that they have not -- the protesters have not taken control of the precinct, you know. the police are surrounding it. they had been but then they backed off. they boarded it up so nobody could throw incendiary device in it and catch it on fire. and police chief said yesterday aside from reports of vandalism in that general area and property damage and an occasional fight, no serious incidents there in the chaz.

brian: symbolism of giving up a major northwest city to a bunch of anarchists and a bunch of, you know, dead enders for lack of a better term, is horrendous for law enforcement around the country. you want law enforcement reform they're working on it in washington. you want law enforcement reform it's happening local and making announcements. taking over a city. giving up seven blocks and having the cops say it was not my decision to give up a presync, this is the second major precinct that was given up. in minneapolis they evacuated rather than defend. now in seattle, we saw the 77th in brooklyn they went right for the precinct. they are going for the heart of law and order in major cities. and please tell me how we benefit from this. and how the "new york times" could roll out a headline that reads free food, free speech and free police inside seattle's autonomous zone as if it's a big party. this mayor is such an embarrassment. she is so lacking self-awareness. she doesn't know that they hate

her, too. they are asking for her to go. a fellow lawmaker is leading the charge to take over, this and lead this seven block autonomous zone. one of the first demands is to get rid of this left wing mayor. she is sitting on there taking on the president. saying the president doesn't understand what goes on. i think the police chief knows what was on where she broke in and she says this was not my decision because, among the police community, this is the worst thing you can do is give in to anarchists who have now used the jersey bumps, those blockades to wall out law enforcement and in assemblance of order. i find this absolutely i couldn't tell rage just if this continues. can i cece how this ends well. >> bottom line it's a very liberal area seattle or washington state. and we keep hearing defund and dismantle and you have a lot of liberal cities that are all for that. so, that's why she is doing this. because she knows that's what her base or her constituents

want. they set up barricades, these protesters, with cardboard signs declaring you are now leaving the u.s.a. they surrounded that west precinct and that's why on monday, the police abandoned that precinct. i don't think they felt safe. as we were saying earlier the police chief said it wasn't her call she had to follow orders. the assistant police chief in that area has said they are trying to link up with the leaders of chaz to make accommodations so that they can bring the police back. they have said police are not even responding to calls for assistance. only on priority calls, which means people citywide who need police are not receiving it. and that assistant police chief says that is not acceptable. if you ask the spokesperson for all these activists rod simone. he says everyone is peaceful. everyone is chill. there is no extortion. and we have invited people to come in. brian? brian: yeah. i just want to follow up on that. if you don't feel safe and you are the police. you call in the national guard or another precinct. that's the way it works. for these people to show up and

not make the coming feel safe, what are they armed with? the cops should be allowed to be police men. and if they can't defend their own precinct that is ultimately anarchy. they actually want to abolish prison for people of color. retry anyone in prison of color. abolish prison, period. they want to abolish the police. this is not even a semblance of -- this is not martin luther king in the 1960s for racial justice. this is called i don't want a job, i don't want responsibility. i don't want to fit in society. and i want to make a mockery of law enforcement in america. ainsley: real quickly before we get to steve, do you mind if i say one thing. they are allowed to have the weapons that they're carrying. but they are not allowed item to have them if they are using for intimidation according to police. steve? steve: that's right. apparently the town leaders have decided as long as there is no looting and they don't burn down anything, like the police station, they are going to allow the protesters to protest. more on this all morning long.

in the meantime, 6:08 here in the east. president trump laying out his plan to tackle racial ininequality and police reform. griff jenkins is live in d.c. with more on the president's plan, which we heard about yesterday. hey, griff. griff: hey, steve, ainsley and brian, good morning. it's a 4-step plan to build safety, opportunity and dignity. the president landed down in dallas with faith leaders and business owners. is he signing an executive order encouraging police nationwide to meet current professional standards of force with compassion, doubling down on dominating civil unrest. >> we are dominating the street with compassion because we are saving lives and we are saving businesses. we are saving families from being wind out after working hard for 20 and 30 years. griff: now the plan would include aggressively pursuering economic development in minority communities, confronting healthcare disparities, encouraging police departments to meet standards of force. standard use of force and renew calls in congress for school

choice. democrats, of course, have already unveiled their plan the justice in policing act that includes banning choke holds and no knock warrants. speaker pelosi hopes to bring it to the floor in coming weeks. >> george's brother said to me i have a question for you. is this going to happen? is there going to be a bill that is passed said we will not rest until it becomes the law. we will not rest until the changes are made. >> republicans are close to unveiling their plan led by senator tim scott. we are told it would include more police training and funding for body cameras. meanwhile, we have been keeping an eye, guy, on the movement to defund the police. it's growing now at least 30 cities are pushing to reduce or redirect police department funds. that appears to be growing by the day. steve, ainsley, brian? brian: it's unbelievable that this would be growing and yet so many democrats are saying this

is a little scary, how could you defund police when you want to make them more fixture and better? that means less money, less resources, less time into the academy. but there is a lot of overlap. when you look at the no-knock rule, rand paul is behind it. when you look at reform, i think everybody in congress is working on it. if nancy pelosi actually wants to get something done, it would be more optimistic if she actually dealt in kevin mccarthy because he wants to get something done. instead the congressional black caucus is leetiondz the charge. republicans so far not part of the process. thanks so much, griff. meanwhile, when the president sat down with harris faulkner, he had outlined his big plan or the outline of which considers four separate bullet points. one clf is extremely popular in the black community. and that is school choice. last time they did a survey, 64% of the african-american community supported school choice to make things better in the inner city. so there is competition with the public schools and private schools to allow overall all

boats to rise with the tide. here's the president. >> talk to me about police reform. you call yourself the law and order president. what does that mean? >> well, we are going to do lots of, i think, good things. but we also have to keep our police and our law enforcement strong. they have to do it right. but when you see an event like that with the more than 8 minutes of horror, that's 8 minutes really of horror. it's a disgrace, and then people start saying well, are all police like that? they don't know. maybe they don't think about it that much. it doesn't make any difference. the fact is they start saying police are like that. police aren't like that. ainsley: so harris is coming up at 7:00 a.m. it was an excellent interview. she was in dallas with the president. when the president was asked about what's happening in ceilings, he said take your city back now. if you don't, i will. this is not a game.

these ugly anarchists must be stopped immediately and move fast. steve: speaking of moving fast, ainsley, yesterday, i think in the 6:00 hour, we got this tweet from ronna mcdaniel who runs the rnc. she said we are thrilled to hold president trump's acceptance of the republican nomination in the great city of jacksonville, florida. not only is florida his home state, he made that switch a while back, it is crucial to victory. we look forward to bringing this great celebration and economic boon about $100 million worth, to the sunshine state. the mayor of jacksonville was on "fox & friends first" this morning. they are thrilled. watch. >> this is a tremendous opportunity for the people of jacksonville. as we have 1/2gateed our way out the covid-19 and through it it's always been my goal to get people back to work in a safe and responsible way. we are looking forward to hosting people that are going to travel to our city for this

event as the president accepts the nomination but as people begin to return to some sense of normalcy as we move out of covid-19. we're going to work obviously with our federal and state partners, our local sheriffs, and make sure that we have a safe, responsible event. it's just an exciting time for our city. steve: and the mayor himself has been lobbying to move it there. and they ultimately decided they would go ahead and do it there. could land $100 million in the jacksonville area. the questions are what's going to happen with charlotte? well, apparently they are still going to have meetings there because they have a contract to it. the big acceptance speech where they dropped balloons and everybody cheers, that's going to be in jacksonville, brian. brian: yeah. but i imagine the other speeches, steve, i haven't seen the format. we will find out shortly when ronna mcdaniel joins us. also, tuesday, wednesday, thursday. they have big speeches those nights, too. i imagine they are just going to go to jacksonville for the big speeches because they want people in the arena and

charlotte, north carolina. doesn't allow that but i will say this: one of my affiliates with the radio show is wokb and they are over the moon in jacksonville. that's where the leading station there, over the moon by the opportunity to host this. this is a city that had has had the super bowl before. they think they have the accommodations to bring in the rnc. security will flood the zone, make traffic tough but definitely flood the city. the other person running against that used to matter against the things to do he does best according to terry mcauliff when e. is in his basement was speaking yesterday, i'm talking about joe biden. and he was talking about martin luther king and how it relates to george floyd. here's joe biden trying to make sense of all of this. >> he is going down in texas on june teengt, right, the first major massacre literally speaking of the black wall street. right? years ago. even dr. king's assassination did not have the worldwide impact that george floyd's death

did. >> um-huh. >> you know the rapidly rising, um, -- and with -- with -- i don't know -- his inability to focus on any federal responsibility. i'm beginning to get bored by my own talk here. brian: wow. i believe that that is a new -- that is so interesting. i have heard -- he definitely cut new ground when he kept telling voters not to vote for him. when he said i'm getting bored with myself, that is something i really got to think about in terms of statements that you would like to get back. hi, i'm boring myself right now. and i will say this. i don't know mask etiquette. we are all getting used to it just remind me if i ever have my mask hangingen my ear, tap me on the shoulder and saying not looking good brian. put it down. put it over your shoulder, tuck in t. in your pocket. hanging on the ear. ainsley: it was good of him to wear the mask.

brian: not on my ear. ainsley: this is the "washington times" headline. never in my lifetime. normally they are fighting for tv time. stop protecting biden. trump campaign demands more air time for former vp. it goes on in the allergy to say that the campaign team of trump is asking for more, not less air time. saying that they want the public to get a good look at the formem vice presidential's struggles on the stump. the head of campaign said we formally call on biden campaign to carry biden's remarks and unscripted events in their entirety. the failure to expose the american people to these rambling displays of incoherence ineptitude and forgetfulness is depriving voters of a clear picture of biden's inability to execute the duties of the office he seeks. stop protecting biden. air the events. apparently they are being accused. so networks of cutting out some of these gaffes and putting the

soundbite together without that. steve: that's right. and when you watch the president of the united states, he will, as we have seen many times, he will start talking and you just never know when he is going to stop. whereas joe biden, it seems to be very managed, these days, it seems to be some sort of a campaign strategy at this point. and i think the whole idea of him keeping the mask hanging from an ear, which i actually do when i'm driving, is so that you don't put it down on something dirty. ainsley: that makes sense. steve: i think they are also reminding people hey, joe biden will wear a mask whereas the president of the united states refuses to wear one, which we also know. ainsley: there is that, too. steve: that's a little bit of what's going on on friday morning. hours away frargments in the michael flynn cases. democrats rail against the push to dismiss the charges. gregg jarrett is on deck with why he says it's time for the prosecution to stop.

steve: well, it is friday. in a couple of hours a federal appeals court will hear

arguments in the mike flynn case, oral argument beings this a after house democrats filed a brief blasting for drop his charges is latest in the series of decisions that represent a systemic breakdown of impartial justice. here to react fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. gregg, so for the house democrats and the house judiciary committee to file things in this case where judge sullivan is weighing whether or not to drop the charges against michael flynn at the suggestion or demand at the department of justice. for the house democrats to say things aren't being impartial, that seems just deliciously ironic because the democrats are not impartial. >> right. it's a hyper partisan document, steve, composed of wild accusations. it's feeble on the law and anemic on the facts.

the inneighbor reasoning here by the democrats is that, gosh, the president tweeted about the flynn case and, therefore, the decision by the doj to dismiss the charges must be corrupt. there is a little problem with that steve, they offer not a scintilla of evidence, no proof whatsoever and they completely gloss over the real reasons the department of justice upon a review of the flynn case decided to move to dismiss. first of all, exculpatory evidence of flynn's innocence was concealed from the court. concealed from the defendant. and, second of all, they realized that the fbi, james comey andrew mccabe and peter strzok had no legal or legitimate reason to even interview flynn, which means that anything said was not material and that's an essential element of a false statement case. steve: right. have you got a great op-ed about

this on foxnews.com. flynn prosecution should end. law firm makes weak arguments trying to keep baseless case alive. read all about that. it's a great point. for folks to hear all these names and hard to keep tall straight it. boils down to this. a couple weeks ago we saw the evidence that made the fbi and the department of justice look really bad. the department of justice came out and told the judge, drop the case. the judge said no. and, in fact, he appointed the special prosecutor to defend his point of view and then apparently the judge, judge sullivan was feeling the heat because he hired his own private attorney, high powered d.c. lawyer to represent the judge which just goes to show you that we are in unchild supporterred territory on this thing. >> yes. actually, technically, sullivan is not allowed to hire a lawyer to represent him because he is not a litigant in the case. who knows how the court of

appeals in d.c. will handle that aspect. all these amicus freensd of the court briefs are not allowed at the trial court. i'm not making that up. decision five weeks ago unanimous decision they said at the trial court level you can't file these amicus briefs. so the whole thing is just a screwball and maybe we will get decision soon from the court of appeals. so essentially the court of appeals will tell judge sullivan what to do. >> yeah. i mean, i think they will give him instructions. they will either kick him off the case as flynn's lawyers want or they will say sorry, you have to follow the law when the doj moves to dismiss, you can't counter man that it's just a ministerial decision to sign the document by the judge. steve: all right. check out gregg jarrett's op-ed

at foxnews.com. greg, thank you very much. >> sure, steve. steve: meanwhile straight ahead on this friday, the police reform gaining moment as president trump held a round table in dallas. jack brewer was there and works with our nation's youth. he is going to weigh in on the president's plan coming up next. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ i don't have to worry about that, do i?are irritated. harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line. crest gum detoxify, voted product of the year. it works below the gum line to neutralize harmful plaque bacteria and help reverse early gum damage. gum detoxify, from crest.

ainsley: president trump previewing plans to reform

policing at dallas round table yesterday. >> we are working to finalize an executive order that will encourage police departments nationwide to meet the most current professional standards for the use of force including tactics for deescalation. ainsley: our next guest spoke at that event and praised the president for actions already taken tore criminal justice reform. joining me now is jack brewer, set spokesman for the national association of police athletic leagues. he also speaks to prisoners, goes into the prisons. he goes on missions trips down in haiti. opened up orphanages down there. works with kids and youth. you are outstanding guy. you went to dallas and sat at that table with the president. what was discussed? holistic approach i was pleased what the white house said. racism and racial disparities across the board, oppression, it

is holistic approach. you have to take on the challenges of healthcare and criminal justice and education. and i think that's what the white house is trying to do. you know, waiting to seat final details of the plan, but i can tell you that the spirit was there, and, you know, no one was running from the realities that we face today in america. racial disparities and the oppressed in certain communities. really need some systematic changes. ainsley: i know you are absolutely right because what happened to george was just horrific. what do the prisoners tell you when you go in and you teach those classes? >> man, i tell you, it's a humbling experience. and it's one that and i tell the guys every time i walk, in i think i get more out of than they do because you -- you know, you see guys that used to be hopeless and now because of policies like the first step act, and because of programmings, like companies like the deal group are doing.

putting real programming into these prisons so these guys can get out and be, you know, members of society again. learn skills that no one ever taught them. you know, the real issue behind a lot of these racial disparities, ainsley, goes back to fatherlessness. so many don't have fathers. you are five times more likely to go to prison or have a run-in with law enforcement if you don't have a father in the home. so i'm really big on trying to promote fatherhood and get rid of those system systematic things that scare folks from building that family unit. i think that's really important. i told the president that yesterday and it was well-received. ainsley: that's wonderful. i forgot to mention you are a former nfl player. very loved and very famous. you played in minnesota for the vikings. and let's talk about that state because minnesota, the legislator there are going to have a special session to consider police reform. in minneapolis where they have

veto free four dismantle the police force. hasn't happened yet but well on its way. what are your thoughts? >> you know, i don't like where it's going. i would like to seat governor and the mayor take a harder stand, you know, you talk about oppression. and when you start looking at folks defunding police departments. the oppressed are the ones most hurt. no one talks about that as americans, you know, oppression cacan't be politicized. we have to have people on both sides of the aisle stand up for the oppressed. that means stands up tore law enforcement. we have to get rid of all of the policies that give immunity to these police officers that do bad things. they should have to go in front of a court of law right away like everier citizen. for all the great american police officers, the men and women of god who are out there protecting and serving, those folks are the ones that are going to uplift the oppressed. they are going to protect the oppressed. i think we need to turn this conversation and stop being so

divisive. ainsley: okay. good point. thanks so much, jack. good to see you. >> god bless you. ainsley: god bless you, too. you are amazing. 35 minutes after the top of the hour. seattle's mayor says the occupation of her city could last for a while. >> how long do you think seattle and those few blocks look like this. >> i don't know. we could have a summer of love. ainsley: pete hegseth is here to react to that next.

built on the backs of slavery. american is defined by its sins in seattle and by leftist. of course, an autonomous zone is completely unacceptable. if you declare yourself autonomous, you are rejecting your own country. yet, i heard the summer of love comment that someone else mentioned as well. i'm all for summer of love, but it's going to fail. of course, the associated press and left wing sites are talking about how there is a festival like atmosphere inside the zone. well, that may be happening right now. but reality eventually sets. in they say no cops. no taxes. no guns. well, except at our checkpoints. you know, no borders, well, except we built a wall around the outside of this thing to keep people in. no identification -- wait, no, we are checking id ds when you come in. eventually disagreements and disputes are going to happen. things are not free and without police in a real economy and rule of law it will collapse like every other leftist experiment. the question is, this is the

backlash for washington and seattle of catering to antifa and black lives matter. it will boomer ranks, eventually. the question is do you send in the troops and say hey, this isn't going to happen anymore or let seattle implode on itself. it's the idea you caught your kids with cigarettes under age or do you take them away right away or force them to smoke every cigarette in front of you in the entire pack to learn the lesson of what's not going to work? this is going to fail. a scary glimpse into the mind of leftists right now. ainsley: you know what's interesting, our country is so divided, pete. people on the right cannot understand this movement at all. people on the left can't understand the right. and whether you have a mayor that's encouraging this and calling them patriots, you think about also the people who live there and work there within those six or seven blocks, how are they getting to work? if they work in one of those offices. or if they live in one of those apartments above the buildings, how do they -- i heard one guy was interviewed this morning said you have to walk outside of

the area and then get in your car and if you need to drive and go to work. >> it's a scary reality, ainsley. i wrote a book about it american crusade effectivably this divide and how deep it goes that a lot of our differences have become irreconcilable it. comes back to education it. really really does. in our elite universities and in our culture and our government schools, kids are now being taught that america is the problem. that america's sins are what defines her. and ultimately we tore blame for the problems in the world and that this country has been bad from the beginning. if you teach that then these protests are seen as patriotic. that declaring autonomous zone that gets out of the united states of america all together replacing cops with restorative justice which is really code for reparations, that all makes sense. and then you have got the other side of that says wait, we know america is flawed no. country is perfect. humans are not perfect. we are all sinful. we learn from our past and

improve and become the most free, most diverse, most tolerant and prosperous country in history. why can't you appreciate that? we're coming from two totally different perspectives which is what shakes people to their core so much about this moment. steve: you know, pete, it just shows you the difference between washington, d.c. and washington state. in washington, d.c. they essentially called out the national guard. you were on the streets of washington, d.c. because you are in the national guard. whereas there, they -- the mayor has made a business decision, we're going to let them protest and as long as they don't loot and burn down things, they can, you know, they have got their first amendment rights. it's just a tale of two washingtons. of course you will be talking about this on this weekend on "fox & friends weekend." what else do you have coming up? >> yeah. we have a great weekend. we have allen west. we have got pam bondi on the show this weekend. we have lawrence jones who is going to be talking about facing our country and of course sarah

♪ brian: in states gyms remain completely or partially closed. a bill that would allow gyms and bars to reopen passed the house and senate sitting on the democratic governor's desk. here to share their experiences and how tough it's been for the 101 days. fitness operator c.j. and ceo of crunch fitness. welcome. can i only imagine what it's been like for the past 100-plus days. ben, give me an idea of what crunch has been through. >> well, we shut down basically all of our clubs back in early march. and you know, we are just starting to get them back open right now. we have about 100-plus open so we are about 30% open right now. hoping to continue opening very,

very quickly. it's been challenging to the owners. they have done everything they can to responsibly manage through. this obviously have to lay off a lot of employees, manage a lot of expenses that weren't necessarily landlords or what have you during the process. now we are just anxious to get going again. we have a real responsible program in place. the owners are trying to get their employees back on payroll and excited to get to the next phase as long as we can get the state to allow us to open across the country. brian: c.j. not only do businesses need to survive but can you help stay healthy getting this virus. what do we need to know about health clubs that the lawmakers don't seem to understand as they keep you shuttered? >> yeah. thank you for having us on. this is extremely important to tell everybody, that you know, it's amazing to see what we have been able to do in our plans to reopen our facilities. we have created, you know, our organization has created a 14.53

page plan to bolster our opening, our reopening the we have got as we talked about before social fitnessing in the clubs. we closed down some of the fitness equipment to where you can actually utilize the equipment and not have anybody standing next to you or in front of you. so it's pretty amazing what we have really been able to accomplish. our organization, you know, this has never been done before where crunch fitness and planet fitness and the ymcas have teamed up together to band up to say we have amazing group of people very knowledgeable. we have been in the industry a very long time. fitness always at the forefront of sanitation. we have always made sure our clubs are clean and we are doing a heck of a job with that right now. brian: ben, right now have you thousands of people furloughed out of work. franchise owners that might not be able to come back. what is the what don't lawmakers understand about what you are going through right now? >> well, i think there is a bit

of a misconception that if you are at a gym it's harder to make sure everything is, you know, sanitary and healthy state for folks to come back to exercise. we are one of the first industries to be shut down along with restaurants and bars. to tj's point not just for planet fitness or us i would say all of the industry you have some criminal components that can easily be applied such as social distancing which cj mentioned directionsal signage for folks where to travel and how to travel and how to maintain cleanliness in the club. personal protective equipment whether or not the states require it. touchless check-in processes. most all clubs across the country are doing dry runs to make sure club team members know the protocols in order to manage the club effectively under these requirements. we have a covid exposure matrix within our business in case anyone comes in contact with

someone who was infected. brian: have you done more responsible things than almost every other industry but, yet, you are being punished more than any other industry. real quick, c.j. can i buy liquor and lottery tickets but i can't get on a treadmill. 15 seconds, your response? >> fitness is essential, brian. we need to make 2.5 million members in north carolina can actually come back to work out in the fitness centers. it's amazing that north carolina is the 19th heaviest state in the country. 33% of the people are obese. one of the causes of the high risk for covid. and this is -- it's amazing we have got to get people back. in fitness has to be essential. brian: c.j. and ben, i hear you. hopefully these lawmakers will understand it. or credit card bills. discover all the ways we're helping members today. let's be honest. quitting smoking is hard.

president trump blasting the situation on twitter saying in part. now seattle mayor jenny durken defending the modify by occupiers who took over six blocks police precinct referreds to-to-as capitol hill autonomous zone known as chaz. escorting officer through the precinct causing uproar. >> please walk out. >> i'm being a peace keeper and taking him to the office. >> durken went as far as calling them patriots while ignoring calls for her resignation. >> lawfully gathering and expressing first amendment rights demanding we do better as a society and providing true equity for communities of color is not terrorism.

it is patriotism. >> seattle city council member says quote our movement needs to ensure our precinct is not handed back to police but turned over permanently into community control. my office is bringing legislation to convert east precinct into a community center for restorative justice. police who occupy that precinct aren't very happy about it. the police chief saying this wasn't her call. >> the decision to board up the precinct, our precinct, our home, the first precinct i worked in was something i have been holding off. you should know leading the precinct was not my decision. >> and there were lawmakers to occupiers were extorting businessebusinesses in that auts zone. police retracted that claim and says that's no longer the case. guys? brian: thank you very much, ashley. appreciate it. meanwhile, harris faulkner was really busy yesterday as co-host of outnumbered and outnumbered

overtime. she took her show on the road to catch up with the president of the united states in texas. and, harris, great to see you. great job. we are going to get more today. >> great to see you, thank you. brian: yeah. even though you are in texas, seattle was very much on your mind and the president's mind, i understand. >> yeah. it was really, you know, a situation where if you are watching social media, too you are seeing other journalists in that market saying, you know, they are losing the city. when you hear about armed demonstrators outside of any public building, even private building it doesn't matter. something that they don't own, it's a sign of potentially so the president said occupation. and he simply said he is not going to allow that brian. and good morning to steve and ainsley by the way. ainsley: good morning, harris. steve: good morning. ainsley: harris, let's play one of the soundbites from your view about his tweets. some of the critics upset with him about saying when the looting starts the shooting starts. and we will get your reaction on the back end.

>> all right. >> you know, there are two more things i want to talk with you about and you look at me and i'm harris on tv but i'm a black woman. i'm a mom. and you know, when -- and have you talked about it but we haven't seen you come out and be that consoler in this instance. and the tweets. when the looting start, the shooting starts. why those words? >> that's an expression i have heard over the years. >> do you know where it comes from? >> i think philadelphia, the mayor of philadelphia. >> it comes from 1967, i was about 18 months old at the time. everybody shooting wicky but got it wrong. it was from the chief of police in miami. he was cracking down and he meant what he said. and he said i don't even care if it makes it look like brutality, i'm going to crack down when the looting starts, the shooting starts. that frightened a lot of people

when you tweeted that. >> it also comes from a very tough mayor who i migh might han police commissioner at the time mayor of philadelphia frank rizzo. he had an expression like that. i have heard it many times. i think it's been used many times. it means two things, very different things. one is if there is looting, there is probably going to be shooting. and that's not as a threat. that's really just a fact. because that's what happens. and the other is if there is looting, there is going to be shooting. there are very different means. >> oh, interesting. >> very different means. >> you think most people see it that way. >> i have think they see it both ways. i have had it viewed both ways. i think it's meant both ways not by the same person. when the looting starts it oftentimes mean there is going to be shooting and death and killing and it's a bad thing. and it's also used as a threat. it's used both ways. but if you think about it, look at what happened how people were devastated with the looting. look at what happened.

ainsley: harris, what did you think about that? >> you know, it was interesting. he didn't exactly say which side he fell down on but he did try to explain why he used exactly those words. you know, the president is meeting this moment what some are calling for and you will see the reports. even the secretary of hud ben carson anticipating the president would have that consoler in chief sitdown with the nation, that national address. for those who are looking for that and those who felt that those words were incendiary, they are not hearing from the president from that vein. so i specifically, ainsley, asked him can you be both this law and order president, first i tried to give him -- get him to give me whatever meaning he has for law and order president. but that you know, set aside. can you do that plus be the consoler in chief? and he said you have got to morph the two together because if you are weak and he used

seattle as an example, he used minneapolis, you know, after the initial peaceful protesting devolved into other things as you had instigators kind of insurgents if you will in those crowds. and he used chicago and other cities. he feels strongly about that being a strong person, a strong leader in that moment. i don't know if he embraces the consoler part of that and i don't know how much the nation goes forward without that. but we will see. i mean, it's not up to you, me, anybody. it's up to everybody and the president. steve: right. and the presidents has been trying to get out of white house, harris, you know, given the restrictions with the pandemic it's hard. but he has been doing -- he has gone to some factories. yesterday he had another one of the round tables this time in texas. in a couple of weeks, he's going to be heading one state north of where you were into oklahoma.

>> actually, steve, it's a week from today. and that's a significant date for people of color. it's juneteenth. in tulsa, oklahoma, is home to the greenwood community. they used to call it the black wall street back in the 1920s. it's still seen as an area that came back from one of the worst race situations, riots, in our history in america. there is question why the president would go there first. initially, and the headlines that were being made as we were sitting down had to do with the fact that juneteenth is also the day in which african-americans recognize freedom from slavery. and it also an emotionally charged day. now, i just wanted to get an idea of why they chose that date. there are lots of dates on the calendar with lots of meaning. so i know that here's what the president said. >> your rally in oklahoma is set

for june 19th. was that on purpose? >> no. but i know exactly what you are going to say. >> well, i'm just asking. i have not got anything to say? >> think about it as a celebration. my rally is a celebration. we are starting. in the history of politics, i think i can say there has never been any group or any person that's had rallies like i do. i go and i just say give me the biggest stadium and we fill it up every time. we have never had a vacant stadium. steve: so, harris, he does not exactly answer your question. do you think he understands the historical significance of that day, of june 19th, which is one week from today, and do you think that perhaps that rally will be about race relations and about law enforcement? >> so, when you let that kind of breathe and you hear us go back and forth a little bit more. he says they are going to use it for a celebration. and i don't know if he completely knows about the, you

know, the greenwood community and all of that we didn't get into that. i was concentrating just on the thing that was really starting to draw some heat and that is simply the date and the meaning for the black community. as a side lane to what is going on right now among people of color and, you know, all americans. everybody is protesting together. it's not just people of color. but, yeah, i mean i think that's a really fair question that you are asking, steve. and he has got a whole team choosing these things. so i -- he says that they are going to celebrate on that day. we will see what happens between now and next friday. steve: um-huh. brian: they might have to sign a release saying you are not going to sue me if you gte the flu from this appearance. they are going to be handing out some of those releases. should be interesting and how much space something out there because it will be the template going forward. other big story that developed and probably almost as your interview was happening the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark mille took to the

camera and a apologized essentially for going with the president to st. john's church. not because he was elm bare raced to be with the president or how it came out. but he made it clear that i'm a military guy i can't be seen in a military event that came up, didn't it. >> it came up and the president, also, i asked him about it is kind of a build we look for a tipping point. enough voices tell you what the mood is going to be in the movement. you add general mille to secretary of defense esper and here's what the president said general mille, joint chiefs of staff i don't know how much you know he spoke. he apologized for being there on lafayette square for the infamous picture as you walked

to the church and held the bible. >> i think it was a beautiful picture. and i think christians think it was a beautiful picture. >> why do you think you are hearing from general milley and from the secretary of defense he is per and not why you think you are but do you think it's significant? >> no. i don't think so. if that's the way they feel i think that's fine. i have good relationships with the military. i have rebuilt our military. i spent $2.5 trillion, nobody else did when we took it over from president obama and biden the military was a joke. the military was depleted. they had planes that were 50, 60 years old. they had old broken equipment. we had no ammunition. we had no ammunition. now we have the greatest military we have ever had. >> and it's paid for. >> anand you have space force.>. where the future is in space.

a lot of people don't get it. >> i covered it when you showed us the new flag. brian: just overarching question, harris. i know you went through the issues. you meth the president many times before. how would you characterize how he was. his demeanor what you saw when you weren't talking to him what you might have noticed about his approach to the event yesterday and where we are at right now in the election? >> you know, i want to be -- i'm so glad you asked me that question because i really want to say that when this president each moment is he consistent. and you look in leadership for well, is this person like the last? is that considered presidential? should he do this? the one thing about donald j. trump that i know as president of the united states is that he's consistent in those moments. he has his own idea of what he wants to do. he listens. i saw him listen to black leaders at that church yesterday mega church in dallas called the

gateway, but he is going to make his own informed decisions. is he passionate. i saw a level of energy that i always see with him. in the end we were cross chatting as you know they are breaking down the cameras and everything, i said is this still what you want to do? because he is getting ready to face, i mean, an -- you know what a presidential election year looks like plus people protest not guilty streets in the second week. are you ready for this? and he said yeah, you know, he talked a lot about the plague from china as he called it. he said i wish that hadn't happened, some of this other stuff he said this is what it means to be president. he has got the energy to do it. so, a lot of people have wanted to watch the entire interview. so at 1:00 today on outnumbered overtime we are going to blast it out. and i know people have a lot of curiosity about those moments that haven't been shown yet, please watch because there's a lot there. and you want to get to know this person because we have a habit

in the united states of reelecting incumbents. so he could potentially win again in november and that would be 8 years with one president. get to know him, 1:00. ainsley: i'm glad you asked him the question about the wally next friday. what an opportunity he has to bring our country together when it comes to race relations. i hope that is a celebration day next friday for all americans. thank you so much, harris. congratulations. >> thanks, guys. ainsley: excellent interview as always. we will be watching the full entry at 1:00 today. she went to texas and came back so she is such a hard worker. 15 mention after the top of the hour. we have been telling you about the occupiers in seattle. our next guest first exposed the city's homeless crisis on our show last year. and now he's taking us inside the autonomous zone. that's next.

♪ >> the city council the city elected officials failed our city. they created a haven where it's okay for people to die on the streets through drug use and to live on the streets who have mental i wills. in they are not offering treatment solutions and they are failing the people in the city. brian: that was hoffman when he first helped to expose seattle's homeless problem. did he it on "fox & friends" last year. now he is taking us inside seattle's autonomous zone where activists have taken over, occupying a roughly six to seven area block around city hall. sur rounding a police precinct and demanding the police be abolished, prisons be emptied. i can go on and on. former city council candidate ari hoffman joins us now. what's going on? is this a place of love? would this be a summer of love

as the mayor proclaims? >> good morning from -- i hope things are well in free america today. the mayor compared it to a block party and the festivals that they have in capitol hill during the summer. i believe the mayor is completely ou out of touch whats going on when armed militants take control of the streets and take control of a police precinct. have you really lost control of the situation. brian: i would say. so here is that mayor who, by the way, one of their demands is she be fired. listen to jenny durkan. >> our president wants to tell a story about domestic terrorists who have a radical agenda. it's simply not true. lawfully gathering and expressing first amendment rights demanding we do better as a society is not terrorism. it is patriotism. brian: right. it's patriotic to abolish prisons and police, retry

everyone who is a prisoner of color and release all the prisoners immediately. so, what do we do with, this a ari? >> basically what's happened is they said they were going to abandon the precinct and allow the protesters who have been attacks police officers multiple nights the week before night after night after night with rocks, stones, even ieds they were attacking police with. what happened was they said maybe if we pack up the police precinct and let them walk by they will stop attacking police officers. they abandoned police station and packed up all sensitive files and took plaques off the walls that said officer of the month and took the barricades left behind by police built walls and put armed guards on them. i find it sphwanning people so opposed to donald trump policies the first thing they did was build a border wall and then declare themselves not part of the u.s. and started frisking

stopping, frisking of anybody out checking ids of people coming in and out. what's interesting is there is two parts of this whole protest there is the daytime part where they're happy to let anybody in and out and show them different parts of what's going on. at the same time, during the nighttime, and anybody they find suspicious, they are still stopping, they are still checking for weapons. they are still harassing and still attacking reporters. that's still going on. brian: who are these people? >> it's a whole group. there is not one group that seems to speak for anybody. there is antifa militants down there. there is black lives matter activists down there. there is people who are just part of the i guess part of the whole fun that's going on down there. i saw multiple homeless tents down there. people in the throws of drug use. there is all kinds of people that you can imagine down in this encampment down in this area holding control of seattle streets. there is even a guy who has declared himself the war lord of the area. he goes around assaulting people

at night who he doesn't approve of what they are doing and carries an ar-15 with him. brian: how does this end? >> your guess is as good as mine at this point. people have suggested maybe if you cut off the cell phone service in this area they will not be able to tweet or livestream their broadcasts anymore but the city instead is negotiating with them. and they are bringing in utility companies. they are taking care of their garbage for them. they brought in poor that potties and pumping those out. city is enabling this behavior and people think they're going to negotiate and get a police precinct under their control as a community center. so the city has completely given up responsibility for this area. and there are people who live in this area businesses in this area. how this end your guess is as will add goose as mine. occupy wall street. park off of wall street. this is smack dab in the middle of the city. people in new york like taking over a section of the village it.

may not be midtown manhattan but it's still a section of the city. brian: like new york it's a very democratic city. i wonder how much support they have. is speaker pelosi going to speak out for them. she is not for abolishing police. they are. she is not for abolishing prisons. they are. this mayor is not left wing enough. i cannot believe we are at this place in this country, ari hoffman, you will let us know things could happen a year ago and they did. thanks so much for joining us. >> my pleasure. have a great day. brian: all right. straight ahead, the coronavirus pandemic exposing some of the weaknesses in our healthcare system. dr. oz has a solution. he will join us next. effortless is the lincoln way.

ainsley: a nurse goes undercover in the nation's coronavirus epicenter. she says the disease quickly spread through one of the hardest hit hospitals because patients weren't properly isolated. todd piro joins us live with more on the nurse's claims. todd? todd: ainsley, good morning. that shocking refings from a nurse on the front lines of the pandemic coming as we see this undercover video from that hospital. >> and he came in with a stroke that's what no covid and now he has got covid and he is on a vent. >> all because we gave it to him here. >> erin capturing that video from okay hurst hospital in queens, new york. one of the hardist hit hospital hit hardest by the pandemic. she told tucker about the trouble she saw there. >> people will be admitted without covid or and any will

end up getting covid. sometimes they will be awaiting their tests which would be take anywhere from 5 to 10 days to see if they had covid and be admitted to these floors while they waited patients were not allowed inside the hospital having someone to advocate for them and report unethical practices. anyone at the hospital who spoke up was sent home. the "wall street journal" reporting old ventilators at elmhurst hospitals actually made patients on them worst. officials were rejected from getting their patients tested in early march by the new york city health department even though many of those patients satisfied the covid criteria. back to you. ainsley: all right. thank you, todd. let's hand it over to steve. steve? steve: thank you very much, ainsley. you know, research has shown that poor communities have suffered disproportionately during the covid-19 pandemic. but our next guest, dr. oz says he knows a solution to help both

patients and health sites and dr. oz joins us right now. dr. oz, you know, so many people who are senior citizens use medicare. they get medicare. a lot of them buy private supplemental insurance called medicare advantage. and you think that particular program could be extended to non-seniors to fix what has been a terrible problem in this country where a lot of people don't have healthcare. >> so, let me just set this up a little bit. medicare advantage is not supplemental. medicare advantage is a different way of taking your medicare money and spending it more wisely to prevent illness. to do the kind of wise allocation of money that can be hugely beneficial right now. i have talked to seema verma the leader of cms, the government is a huge fan of allowing americans, seniors to access medicare advantage. it's a better solution, i believe, for most folks. why not expand that to folks in the working force who are not seniors but are still

contributing money to the healthcare system. let them get more efficient care and walk you through real quick. we have a crisis in two ways. first, it's not just minorities disproportionately suffering and i'm going to quote martin luther king here. all forms of discrimination, ininequality injustice in health is the most shocking and inhuman. we have a problem there the other issue that folks are refocused on is our healthcare sites are disseminated by the nation's response to covid-19. no people in hospitals because everyone is scared. we need to fund these healthcare systems. we are going to do it any way by the way. take care of this crisis and fix a long-term crisis. we should be in golden age of healthcare delivery. medicare advantage for all. medicare could provide universal coverage. we priced this out. george the iconic expert others contributing on this idea both sides much the aisle could agree on this. if we had a 20% payroll tax which by the way is less than most businesses are paying right now for healthcare supervisors and not getting great solutions because they are getting a

distonguesal piecemeal approach we could use our payroll tax and funnel that money through private insurance companies just like medicare advantage does. all the systems are there. right? you haven't v. a payroll tax. social security. we already have all the systems. don't have continue to vent anything and we could actually start addressing chronic illnesses that drive 70% of all healthcare costs by preventing illnesses and giving hospitals money for avoiding doing expensive procedures rather only rewarding them when they do. we could reduce healthcare costs overall. reduce fraud because they don't have those incentives and reduce administrative costs we should do this now. steve: right. it is a very clever idea that you came up with the former head of kaiser permanente. whereas if you don't have private insurance, and you don't have medicaid, then you used system that has been set up for seniors essentially and it works very efficiently to make sure that everybody gets care because, as we started with, our healthcare system has been

disseminated by this pandemic. and going forward, this is an easy way out. >> what i like about it we already have the infrastructure in place. we could literally turn this on at the end of this year. for 2021 have the care everyone is asking for. folks on the left want universal coverage. people who have private insurance, this is private insurance. we are just selecting the money all of us together giving it to large insurance companies and demanding that they audit the quality of the care we are getting it. could become our golden age. folks don't recognize that the piecemeal approach we have right now is extremely expensive and the wrong incentive. you are actually telling doctors do whatever can you to do procedures and when you do those procedures, you will get paid. now, ethical doctors, most are, will do the right thing. there are many examples of folks who use fraud length billing, take advantage of the system, administrative costs are gargantuan because you are juggling 900 insurance companies. that's a lot of companies that do healthcare. why not have a couple major insurance companies do it right. reward the system for making the clever decision to take care of

people's health and preventing illness. right now if i prevent from you getting sick, i don't get paid. it should be the opposite. steve: yeah. well, there you go. it is genius on a number of levels that people would like more information, there is a great item in forbes right now that explains it all. dr. oz, thank you very much for joining us on this friday. by the way, yesterday, happy birthday. >> thank you, steve, god bless you. steve: all right. straight ahead on this friday, president trump slamming calls to dismantle the police. >> they are actually talking about not having a police force. well, that's not happening with us. we are going to have stronger police forces because that's what you need. steve: david webb says law enforcement needs support now more than ever. he is coming up next on "fox & friends."

♪ steve: president trump is laying

out his plan to tackle racial inequality and police reform. brian: yup, mark meredith joins us live with bridgewater, new jersey with details on the president's plan of action. hey, mark. >> hey, brian, good morning to you. the president says he wants to do the opposite of defunding the police. instead he says the focus should be on things like community engagement and retraining. the president says soon he is going to sign an executive order really to address this crisis that's facing so many american communities we are dominating the street with come bags because we are saving lives and businesses and saving families being wiped out after working for 20 and 30 years. >> the white house has not unveiled the exact language of this but expected to address economic development in minority communities. confronting healthcare disparities and encouraging limits to meet standards for use of force and renew calls for school choice. tim scott of south carolina is expected town vale his own

police reform bill next week and you may remember house democrats introduced their own legislation on monday. it called for a number of changes including a ban on choke holds. former vice president joe biden has been weighing in on this on twitter quote it's in our darkest moments that we produce some of our greatest progress and we have this opportunity again. let's make this a moment of action to address systemic racism and propel our nation into an era of true equality and opportunity. we do not expect to see president trump on camera today. heading up to west point to deliver the address for the military academy. back to you guys. ainsley: thank you so much. bring in david webb fox news contributor and radio talk show host. good morning, david. >> good morning brian, ainsley and steve. how are you doing? ainsley: we are all doing well, thank god. yesterday the president went to dallas to sit toy round table to discuss police reform. here is what he said about police-free zones. >> they want to actually closed.

i'm thinking what happens late at night when you make that call to 911 and there is nobody there? what do you do? [applause] whether you are white, black, or anybody else. what do you do you? are dialing and somebody breaking into a house that happens to be a violent person. you are sitting there and don't have a police force. they are actually talking about not having a police force. well, that's not happening with us why have stronger police forces because that's what you need. >> david, what's your reaction? >> you know, ainsley, i would like common sense to come into this and real action. let me draw a correlation if you want to reduces rate of abortions you reduce the rate of pregnancies. if you want to reduce bad interactions between citizens and police, you reduce criminality and crime. so what the president is talking about and many of us have been talking about for years, is real reform. you lower that by improving

options in underserved communities regardless of color you give them requirement that gives education. school choice very well received, needed in these communities so what do you do? you improve those conditions and you fix those problems and you deal with the issue of then the people now who are not able to get that part of the reform. so you need to go back to the foundation and solve problems that lead people to the choice of either engaging in criminal activity or not being able survive. that's not going to solve all the problems. but the greatest antipoverty program is a job. and an even better program is a career track for any american that removes you from that. therefore, that reduces your interactions with the police and then we can deal with the other issues. look, we do have racism as a component at times. we have police brutality as a component at times. but we have a system that can deal with that and a culture

that rejects it. we have seen that on display but, unfortunately, the democrats are pandering. they are passing bills that will go nowhere. and what are they actually doing to solve the for those averager day americans the president talks about who might make that phone call for a medical emergency, a criminal emergency, whatever the case may be. steve: david, speaking of democrats, joe biden will be the democrat's nominee for president of the united states. he was in philadelphia yesterday. and the way he has framed what we're seeing on america's streets as opposed to what he remembers about the time he was in law school here is what he said yesterday. listen to this. george gets brutally murdered for the whole world to see it. you have never seen -- i was a kid when dr. king -- i came back from law school when dr. king was assassinated. when i came back, my city is the only city in america occupied by

the national guard since reconstruction. because of significant portion was burned to the ground i had a good job with a law firm and i quit and became a public defender. but even dr. king's assassination did not have the worldwide impact that george floyd's death did. >> um-huh. steve: david webb, do you agree with that analysis? >> look, social media and media communication today may have carried the george floyd murder or the killing of george floyd, i'm going to stick with the legal system on this one further around the world the impact different than. think about it joe biden was in law school at that time. he went into congress in 1975. the world sadly for joe biden has evolved beyond then so

selling the old shadows and the old demagoguery is not the same as it is today. and by the way draw this parallel. if you look at the film of the funeral of dr. king and funeral of george floyd they drew a visual parallel to push a narrative which joe biden and kenosha ancobooker latest talki. america you are being pandered to versus someone who wants to offer you solution so have you charge of your own lives. it's not about equality of outcome. it's about equality of opportunity which is what one of america's greatest gifts is so focus on that and ignore the demagoguery and the pandering of a joe biden. brian: senator tim scott is leading the criminal justice reform push and racial justice push on the senate side. he was called on another network yesterday a token.

he was asked are you a token for the republican party? what's your reaction to that, david? >> well, it's not just insulting but it's irrelevant to the conversation and senator scott should just ignore it and go back to focusing on solutions for all americans. ainsley: david, great to see you. thanks so much for coming on. >> thank you, guys. ainsley: you are welcome. it's official. president trump will accept the republican nomination in jacksonville. rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel says they are thrilled to have the convention in florida. and she joins us next. available over-the-counter. new voltaren is powerful arthritis pain relief in a gel. voltaren. the joy of movement.

ainsley: well, it is now official the republican national convention headed down to jacksonville florida, this summer. the committee voting unanimously to scale down the convention in charlotte, north carolina. and acceptance speech in jacksonville. ronna mcdaniel joins us live. good morning to you. how are you? >> good morning, great to be with you. ainsley: great to always see you. i'm sure you are glad this is now out of bag. it's already been announced. what will jacksonville allow you guys to do that charlotte won't? >> well, one, the mayor, lenny curry and also governor desantis have just worked with us every

step of the way. and they want this to be a great event to show that their state is open. america is open for business. so we are going to have an arena. we are obviously going to put safety checks in place to make sure the convention goers are safe. but we are going to have a packed arena. we are going to recognize the renomination of our president as we go on to real elect him in november. and it's going to be a great celebration. and governor cooper in north carolina refused to work with us. it became very apparent that he was not going to give us guidelines so that we could hold our convention and we had to move the celebration part to florida. but we will still have the business of the convention in north carolina. we love both states. ainsley: did you decide to stay in charlotte because of contracts because charlotte's host committee they called the move a clear violation of contracts with the city and other local groups. >> you know, i don't know how we could be violating any contracts when the governor has said time and time again that we need to scale back our convention and that we could only have 10

people in any given room. we have worked in good faith with the host committee and with the mayor via lyles. we wanted to be in charlotte. we want to bring as much revenue to that city as possible. we had to scale it back. and we want to have the celebration portion in florida where we can have a full scale convention with all of our delegates, all of our -- as you know, ainsley, these are hard-working grassroots people who want to attend this event. ainsley: i know. 2500 delegates normally in charlotte it's going to be reduced to i think 336, six from each state and territory. and then all 2500 will be able to go to jacksonville. >> correct. ainsley: let's talk about the importance of florida. ron desantis says jacksonville is a great city. he is the governor of florida as you know. jacksonville great city showcase energy and -- bring together the delegates of the republican party historic time in our nation's history. tell me about the makeup of jacksonville. i know you normally try to choose a swing state.

trump is trailing actually in florida according to the saint pete polls. trump is 46.7% and biden is 47.5. so it's very close. but what's the makeup of jacksonville and florida as a whole? is jacksonville now considered a blue area? >> i think jacksonville and the neighboring counties are trump country. but we also are miles away from the georgia border. so we're hitting two states and going to have this president's presence in north carolina. but we really get to highlight is that companies are opening up. that america is opening up. and these states where businesses are allowed to thrive economically are growing and adding jobs and helping with the transition to greatness as the president is show casing time and time again. it's going to be the perfect setting. his home state to push that greatness -- the transition to greatness message that the president is pushing out. ainsley: ronna, brian mentioned something earlier that people might have to sign releases say figure get covid basically i'm

not going to sue. is that true? >> we haven't even gotten there yet. i mean, as you can imagine, we have 74 days to plan a whole new celebration in a different city. but, of course, we want to put the safety of convention goers first and foremost. we will be working with the president team, with the secret service in the state of florida to make sure that takes place. ainsley: wish you all the best. when you figure all that out come back on. we have a big final hour. we have geraldo, we have judge jeanine. general jack keane and larry kudlow. so as you head back out on the road, we'll be doing what we do best. providing some calm in your day. with virtual, real-time tours of our vehicles ... now when you buy or lease a new lincoln, we'll make up to 3 payments on your behalf.

>> [chanting] ainsley: a fox news alert president trump vowing to take on seattle's cop-free autonomous zone. steve: occupiers as you can see right there on the streets near a police precinct in a fourth night of what some describe as chaos, brian. brian: yeah, ashley stromeyer is live with more on the cities mayor, defending the occupiers but ashley, the occupiers actually want her fired. >> yeah, and we'll get to that in just a minute good morning. this is obviously a move that follows weeks of protests against police brutality. president trump blasting the situation saying he plans to take action if the city does not president trump: i will tell you

, if they don't straighten that situation out we're going to straighten it out very simple we're not going to let seattle be occupied. >> seattle mayor jenny durkin defending the move by okay you buyer piers took over six blocks, and one person seen escorting officers to the precinct yesterday causing an uproar from the crowd. watch this. >> i'm being a peace keeper. >> [bleep] >> they went as far as calling them patriots while denying that they are causing harm to the city. >> how long do you think seattle and those people look like this? >> i don't know. we could have a summer of love. >> well tell that to the police who were supposed to be in that precinct. >> and the less who occupy that

precinct aren't very happy about it the chief saying this was not her call. >> the decision to board up the precinct, our precinct, our home, the first precinct i worked in, was something i have been holding off. you should know, leaving the precinct was not my decision >> a seattle city council member tweeting overnight, "our movement needs to ensure each precinct is not handed back to police but is turned over permanently into community control. my office is bringing legislation to convert each precinct into a community center for restorative justice." now guys, there were rumors that occupiers were extorting businesses in that autonomous zone, but police retracted that claim saying that is no longer the case. steve: all right ashley thank you very much for that live report, because it is a friday, let's bring in geraldo rivera, fox news correspondent at large. geraldo, so let's talk a little bit about what is going on in

seattle. it was very clear yesterday that the president of the united states said that unless they take control of the streets, he's going to send in help but the mayor herself says look, no reason to do that. in fact there's a lot of fun going on here watch this. >> we've got four blocks in seattle that you just saw pictures of that is more like a block party atmosphere. it's not an armed takeover. it's not a military. we will make sure that we can restore this but we have block parties and the like in this part of seattle all the time. it's known for that, so i think the president, number one, there is no threat right now to the public and we're looking we're taking that very seriously. we're meeting the businesses and residents but what the president threatened is illegal and unconstitutional and the fact that he think he can just tweet that and not have ramifications is just wrong. steve: so geraldo as long as the protesters there in that

chaz area don't start burning and looting and being violent, it looks like the mayor has made a business decision. geraldo: well, i tell you, steve , it is to me, outrageous that they surrender part of the town and that the chief of police there so humiliated by the takeover of her precinct and yielding control of this whole neighborhood to this group of an archists had with the mayor from the block jenny durkan saying it's worse that the president threatens to retake the city than it is parts of her city are occupied by these anarchists. imagine if you own a business in that neighborhood and now, you have control of your business, your entire fate, everything your business and personal safety is in the hands of people who are anti-government, anti- police. imagine if you're a cop like the chief of police there, who

tried her best to let people know that the cops did not approve of this. you're a cop being escorted to your own precinct by hippies who are anti-government. what the hell is this what kind of country are we running here where we yield substantial portions of a major city to people who are anti-government, people whose goals certainly don't comport with law and ortandoer and with the ordinary course of business in a community. i just think that it is outrageous and to hear jay insle y, the governor of washington state, be so complacent about it, it really is infuriating and totally trump hatred driving this extraordinary endorsement of anarchy in a major american city, guys. ainsley: all right so let's talk about the rnc because they are having a scaled back version in charlotte and then have the big acceptance speech and all of the

delegates can go to jacksonville. here is ronna mcdaniel she is the rnc chairwoman. listen to this. >> the mayor lenny curry and governor desantis worked with this every step of the way and they want it to be a great event to show their states open and america is open for business and we'll have an arena and put safety checks in place to make sure the convention-goers are safe but we'll have a packed arena and recognize the re- nomination of our president as we go on to reelect him in november and it's going to be a great celebration. ainsley: so the president does need florida. do you think that was a wise decision? >> well, first of all, ainsley, i hope that this resurgence, apparent resurgence of covid-19 in two-thirds of our states doesn't, you know, signal that they were back in a second phase of this epidemic regardless of what state you might be in. i hope that things can cool down as to the decision, you know,

roy cooper in north carolina, there who is in charge of the charlotte facility, just an anti-trumper again, i think, making a decision that's based on the most strict interpretation of the most conservative medical minds there, allowing what a handful, 336 delegates in the building of the huge charlotte convention center it seemed unlikely and yet, the rnc, republican national committee, has kept the charlotte facility at the same time embracing jacksonville , florida which says yes, send us your tired, hungry, your poor, your humbleness, your earning to breathe free to borrow from the statue of liberty but jacksonville both florida and north carolina are suing states, jacksonville is so close to georgia who will get part of that south georgia, northern florida neighborhood all gemmed up by the president and i think he has it both ways. i just hope people don't get

sick, ainsley. ainsley: yeah, we agree with you brian: i, yeah, i think number one, a lot of the increase has to do with the increased testing that every state is getting now but no one talks about. let's fast forward to joe biden. he is running for president and he does his best when he's out of the limelight. yesterday he was in the limelight trying to make relevance of george floyd's death comparing it to martin luther king jr.'s death and then he got lost in the sauce. >> he's going down to texan on june-teeth, the first major massacre literally speaking of a black wall street, years ago. even dr. king's a sausages did not have the worldwide impact that that george floyd's death did. you know, the rapidly-rising in with i don't know, his inability to focus on any

federal responsibility. i'm beginning to be board by my own talk here. brian: right. it's interesting. geraldo: i'd be talking to you and i'm be looking around, i'd lose my train of thought, i'd be looking around and oh, whoa there you are. june-teeth first of all is june 19 that represents the signing of the emancipation proclamation and one of the now- founding documents of the new america very very important that's what june-teeth is it's june 19. he's in texas today. june 19 he will be in tulsa, oklahoma where there was an awful, awful race riot, a black wall street, an entire neighborhood of african americans in tulsa wiped out. i'm not happy with the timing of him being in tulsa on june-teeth but it has nothing to do with as joe biden explained it one is the come employee operation of

the emancipation proclamation and the other is a awful race incident where many african americans were murdered but he's in texas today and nothing happened in texas i don't know what joe biden is talking about but the one thing i will say, joe biden's strategy of staying in the basement in delaware is working for him. you don't fix what's not broken. he should stay in the basement, right up until the last minute, he can sneak out and emerge and then make a speech at the democratic national convention. i think that to see joe biden out on the stump right now, making props like this doesn't help his cause. all the polls indicate he's ahead of president trump right now. he should do for him, indeed, lessor for. ainsley: so brad pascale who runs the campaign for president trump, this is his analysis of the way the media is covering joe biden, he says we formally join joe biden's campaign and their call for the national news media, particularly cable and

broadcast television outlets, to carry biden's remarks and un scripted events in their entirety. the failure to expose this to the rambling displays is in coherent and forgetfulness is depriving voters of a clear picture of biden's inability to execute the duties of the office of d.c. stop protecting biden, air the event, because he's accusing other networks of not airing it in their entirety, cutting out the parts where he rambles and doesn't make as much sense. geraldo? geraldo: well ainsley, rambling displays of in coherence, i couldn't have said it better. i believe that the former vice president has difficulty with syntax, has difficult keeping his train of thought, has difficulty putting paragraphs together, but he's the nominee and he's ahead, so i think that the people who are arrogant about biden are underplaying the fact that every survey indicates that he's beating the

president. of course the president has been tied up. of course we've had this awful epidemic. we haven't seen where the george floyd protests how they impact voters, but to the point of was it joe biden saying that george floyd has had as much of an impact as martin luther king? brian: yes. geraldo: i think a statement like that is so bold and so full of historic in proprieties. i believe that joe biden may have gone maybe a bridge too far in saying george floyd for all his flaws may have been a greater civil rights leader than martin luther king jr.. steve: well doug schoen has an article in the new york post that talks about how where all of these polls that are out that show joe biden with a big lead they actually oversample democrats and he makes an argument about it. geraldo thank you very much for joining us have a great

weekend. geraldo: thank you, steve. steve: now, we turn to carlie sh imkis in our world headquarters. reporter: that's right in just hours, the a double murder will be arraigned. peter manfredonia was extradited from maryland where he was arrested last month. surveillance cameras capturing him on a six day run from police spanning four states and accused of killing two men. >> no knock warrants now banned in louisville. the city council voting unanimously on brianna's law overnight, and who was shot and killed by officers inside her home during a raid earlier this year. her boyfriend shot at police after mistaking them for robbers the law regulates how search warrants are carried out and requires officers to wear body cameras. >> another statue of christopher columbus has been taken down. this time, from a park in camden

new jersey. the mayor calling it a controversial symbol that has pained the community. houston is preparing to remove two confederate statues from parks on june 19 marking the anniversary of the end of the slavery and they will be placed in a museum and historic site. >> well, it is the end of an era jungle jack hannah hanging up his hat. he is retiring from the columbus zoo and aquarium after 42 years on-the-job. the 73-year-old is known for his dedication to wildlife education , and he's not just a friend of animals, but also a friend of the show, and hanna appearing live from the zoo back in november of 201s good today as you did back then. his last day is december 31, and you know, maybe in retirement -- ainsley: oh, he's retiring. reporter: yeah, exactly. ainsley: we grew up with him. reporter: most definitely absolutely guys.

brian: the chairman of the joint chief of staff general mark milley apologizing for his decision to walk along the president in lafayette square in camouflage to st. john 's church amidst the protests. >> my presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic policy. as a commissioned uniformed officer it was a mistake, but i've learned from. brian: here to weigh in is fox news senior strategic analyst and retired four star general

himself jack keane. general did mark milley make the right statement yesterday and who was he speaking to? >> he was speaking to the graduates of the national defense university but he was speaking at large to the american people, let's be frank, and he already had a conversation with the president on this subject, but yes, he absolutely made the right decision, and i mean, what is all the fuss about here? for the american people to understand is that any member of the united states military, our soldier,, sargent, an officer or a general is prohibited from participating in political events or political venues in uniform. it doesn't mean they cannot support a candidate privately outside of uniform. of course they can, but the military does not want people lending their uniform to support a candidate and using that as leverage. so general milley found himself in a very unusual circumstance, called away from a meeting he

was about to attend in a joint task force head quarter that was overseeing the riots where many of our soldiers were and they were all in battle dress uniforms there. he was called away from that and moved to the white house for a meeting that was not a meeting that was a gathering that group began to move through lafayette park and he thought he was going to see soldiers and policemen and as the situation developed after they came out of the park he saw what seemed to be developing was a political situation with the president taking, having a picture taken in front of st. john's church which had been burned down the night before. that's certainly within the president's rights to choose how he's going to deal with an event like that, but milley saw that developing as a potential political event and he slipped away and did not participate in those pictures. a firestorm was created as a result of it. i think largely hyped by the media to some degree, that this was a violation of civil military relationships and mille

y had crossed over in terms of supporting that political event. and milley looked at that and came to the right conclusion and a perception was created and therefore he apologized and also told the president, brian, look i helped create this firestorm by participating in this , and i apologize to you for doing something like that. brian: gotcha, and in fact between the two, it was just a thing that he decided was wrong for him to appear at and he made a mistake and that's no big deal next, let's talk about what the international criminal court is doing, investigating american forces for possible war crimes. i found this outrageous, general , what about you? >> oh, yeah, this is, the icc or international criminal court has been out of control for a long time. they have a political agenda. they are anti-american. this is an investigation that goes back to 2017, allegedly the

united states military committee war crimes in afghanistan. what i find so galling about this , the united states from world war one to the president over 100 years, we have been involved in liberating people around the world, most of whom we don't even have relationships within terms of the soldiers knowing who the people are, and we liberate them from what? from aggression and from repression. many of those are signators to this icc court itself. furthermore the united states when it is involved in conflict, brian, goes into war with the values of our great democracy and the values of our people and we go out of our way to avoid casualties to the point where we put our soldiers at risk and at times it's controversial, because some of our soldiers and leaders and even some of our allies in military operations with us believe we are taking too much risk in protecting civilians, and we're taking casualties as a

result of it, but that's the united states on display and when we have people, brian, who violate our standards and our rules of engagement and intentionally kill civilians, not unintentionally but intentionally kill civilians what happens? we hold them accountable to the uniform code of military justice we give them due process and if the evidence supports it they go to court martial and trial and they go to jail for it. that is the united states system and i think it can stand up as a beacon to the whole world in how to deal with conflict and aggression and also, not give up your values in the prosecution of it. brian: general, i know you could do this you're a professional broadcast eras well as professional military mind. thirty seconds, general petreas says it's time to name 11 military bases after confederate officers, the president says no way, where

do you stand? >> well i don't think we should trample over the 100-year history of these bases. it was absolutely wrong to name these bases after confederate generals who committed treason, and that's the reality of it. that was a mistake, but our soldiers for 100 years don't associate with those confederate jails. they associated with fort bragg, my home, the place where i trained for war and the place i come back to. i command the that installation and i know how those soldiers feel. i'm inclined to keep it as it is but, and this is a big but. if the american people through the will of the congress are supporting a change because the attitudes in this country, the bipartisan attitudes have changed i think we have to be open to that change as well. i have an open mind on the subject. brian: all right, general jack keane, thanks so much. three important topics have a great weekend. >> good talking to you brian. brian: same here. meanwhile an appeals court set

brian: all right, in just about an hour from now, an appeals court to set to hear arguments on michael flynn's case ainsley. ainsley: that's right, brian the former national security advisors attorneys arguing that judge sullivan exceeded his power and has no authority to block the doj's move to drop charges so what can we expect next? steve: you know what let's talk to the host of "justice with judge jeanine" and authors of liars, leakers and liberals and the book radicals, resistance and revenge. judge jeanine pirro, judge good morning to you. so what do you make of what's going on? it sounds like they are going to have oral arguments today but its suddenly become quite political. >> gee, you think? look, michael flynn, i think that this has been going on for three years. the poor guy, the department of justice has made the decision that it doesn't want to go forward for a series of legitimate reasons including the fact that there was exculpatory evidence that was

concealed from the defendant in this case, and the fact that now , that there are the testimony or the recorded conversation he had with kysliak basically amounted to nothing and the fact that he was questioned when there was no predicate by the fbi for even an interrogation and now what is going on is the judge's refusing, of course, to dismiss the charge from the government and flynn have agreed. the absurdity of this is the fact that the judge in this case, sullivan envisions himself as someone whose beyond the constitution. articleii of the constitution makes clear that it is the executive branch that has the authority to enforce the laws and article iii of the constitution makes it clear that there has to be a case or controversy to involve the courts. right now, there is no controversy so imagine if you're just a viewer and you're suing

your contractor and you and he have agreed on something and the judge has said, you know, well that's not enough but you say to the judge look, we don't want to go forward any more and the just says well i want to know why. well it's none of your business, judge the parties don't care. but this judge is insisting and he has former judge gleason to come out and say there's got to be wrongdoing here. brian: yeah, here is the quote. he's totally against this. the facts surrounding the filing of the government's motion constitute clear evidence and i'll move ahead, gross abuse that reveal an unconvincing effort to disguise as legitimate a decision to dismiss the case that is based solely on the fact that flynn is a political allie of president trump. wow does he disagree with you. >> yeah, well you know, he can disagree with me, but i believe it was the second circuit court

of appeals that was somewhat in some of his beliefs when as a judge he said that he could imagine circumstances where things weren't as they seemed, and so in other cases, he has tried to go above and beyond, this is judge gleason, whose advising judge sullivan where he said i need to know more and the appellate court said hey, buddy stay in your lane. you're a district court judge you can imagine all you want but it doesn't rebutt the presumption of regularity and you have no right to keep digging in a case like this but the interesting thing here is that you've got these judges that are so determined that you've got emmit sullivan getting amicus briefs. as a trial judge, i was a trial judge, the last thing i'd do is ask for an am icus brief from anybody do you know why?

because that's almost like a political poll. no, judge you've been a judge for more than 30 years make a decision. this is aministerial act. they both want to drop the charges it's none of your business. ainsley: so let's talk ability your show this weekend whose coming up? >> we've got a great show this weekend, bernie kerick, we'll talk about everything going on today and of course dan bongino who testified before congress, charlie kirk, dr. shelby steele very very impressive intellect and matt ga etz, congressman is all about law enforcement the lunacy going on in this country. i've got to tell you, guys, everybody is nuts. everybody has lost their mind, a summer of love are you kidding? i mean, this is lord of the flies all over again. steve: well, we'll be watching your show on at 9:00 p.m. eastern time, judge thank you very much for joining us live. >> good to see you guys.

ainsley: good to see you too judge. well the trump adminitration could make big changes to the small business loan program to help jump start our economy after the pandemic, so what could it look like? we're going to ask national economic council director larry kudlow coming up, next.

steve: we are back with a fox business alert on this friday morning, stock futures right now rallying looking to gain back some of yesterday's big losses, brian. brian: i'm seasick, the dow plunging more than 1,800 points the worst day since mid march, we keep setting records both ways the nasdac losing 527 points and s&p dropping 188 points ainsley. ainsley: the losses came as coronavirus cases spike in some parts of our country and investors see a resurgence of

the inflections. steve: let's bring in larry kudlow director of national economic council he joins us from the white house. so larry some people said that the big sell-off yesterday was because there's a spike in cases in a number of states maybe there's going to be a second wave. was it that or was it the fact that we've had such a run-up in the stock market. people thought do you know what this might be a good time to take some profit. >> it's probably a little bit of both those are both good points. i'm not the health expert but i'm the so-called spike. i spoke to our health experts at some length last evening. they're saying there is no second spike. let me repeat that. there is no second spike and secretary mnuchin said yesterday in testimony and i totally agree we are not going to shut down the economy. what you do have is certain spots are seeing a little bit of a jump up some small metropolitan areas are seeing it , the cdc and the health

people are all over it and they've sent task forces out to deal with it. now days we have much better equipment, much more experience, much more testing i mean the testing itself has jumped up , so you're going to get a little more positive from that but if you look nationally the important point is the rate of increase of new cases is between 0-1% its really flatten ed out and with respect to fatalities it's the same it's actually lower than that it's like 0 to half a percent, so if i can calm fears again, i'm not the health expert. ambassador birx may be asked about it later today but nonetheless there is no emergency, there is no second wave. i don't know where that got started on wall street. brian: i tell you i love the fact that sec of treasury mnuchin says not another shutdown regardless meanwhile let's talk about you have money left from the ppp program so there's a lot of concern that the time is up and they're going to turn into a loan instead of a

grant. so what are the changes to the p pp program and tax credits that you could tell the american people about? >> well two changes from the legislation the president signed last friday and by the way let's not forget last friday we had an incredible increase of 3 million jobs plus the lower unemployment rate, which shows that the reopening is moving into economic rebound. now having said that, there's about i don't know, 100 billion plus left in the paycheck protection program. they've done a remarkable job getting it out in fact congressional budget office cit ed for efficiency in getting these things out. there is about 100 billion left. i think they extended it the congressional legislation extended it i believe from eight weeks to 24 weeks, and with respect to allocation of the loans, which probably will be forgiven, you've got 60% now, allocated to payrolls, so 40% can go to other expenses, which

are important. i think it was a constructive change that the president did favor. ainsley: so larry, you mentioned the increase of 3 million jobs with the last jobless claims report. when do you expect that we will rebound? will that be before the election , rebound to where we were before corona? >> well look there's so many green shoots popping up in terms of early recovery that's what's given us a much more optimistic feeling. i mean, not all is well yet. i get that. there's still a lot of heartbreak. you've still got a lot of people unemployed so there's a lot of heartburn on that and that's going to be a problem, but, but, but, but, let me say whether it's the apple ability index which shows more people traveling by car, whether it's new business applications which are soaring, businesses are open , automobile demand is strong, housing demand is off the charts right now back to pre -pandemic levels. there are a number of these

green shoots that suggest number one, we are reopening, number two, the payroll protection program did work, so what you got instead of 18 million people , on temporary layoffs it dropped to 15 million people, 3 million people went back to work. looking at this now, i think virtually, 100% or 90 percent of small businesses will reopen in the next month. the number is 80% according to the chamber of commerce. that hasn't been scored yet, so when we get the june figures in july, i'm looking for another decline in unemployment and another big increase in employment and i see no reason why this cannot, you know, journal itself through. we are looking for 20% economic growth in the second half of the year. we referenced the congressional budget office there too. they are seeing similar numbers, and a very strong 2021, and the president rebuilt this

economy on lower taxes and deregulation once. those things are still going to be in place. he can rebuild it again. we will probably have economic growth oriented legislative package next month when we come around to formal negotiations so i see the glass is way half full and i think america is going to take off again like a rocket, this hurricane, this bad snowstorm, this terrible pandemic virus is going to go away, and we will be okay, i mean, people have to keep their chins up i think. steve: all right, with an optimistic view from the white house, larry kudlow, larry thank you very much have a good weekend. >> my pleasure thanks. ainsley: thank you. steve: you bet. all right still ahead on this friday, telecast benjamin watson used to play football with people from all different backgrounds on the field. well now he's urging the country to team up and unify and be a voice of kindness. benjamin is going to join us next.

we're watching markets for you liz claman, charles payne are here on that we're watching the opening bell, andy mccarthy, all-star line up here from americas news room see you top of the hour. steve: amid the national unrest over the death of george floyd, our next guest is calling on christians to come together to be a voice for kindness, and justice in an upcoming event this sunday, called boston pray. joining us not former nfl player ben watson. he along with his watson one foundation are helping sponsor the event. ben, good morning to you. good morning. steve: so you're saying wear a mask and help take care to physically distance from others and help us spread the word and obviously with the mask, the last thing you want to do is spread the virus. >> of course, of course, we are still in the stages of reopening

after a pandemic so we want to be aware of that but also in light of everything that's gone on, in light of the unrest, in light of the pain and agony, protests, the things we've seen over the last several weeks. there's a passage in jeremiah that talks about god being a god of kindness, of justice and riotousness so my thought was to gather with other believers, other organizations here in boston, in the boston community that have this event called boston pray this sunday as you mentioned on boston commons from 2:30-3:30 where we will coming together and see god's faith and wisdom as we continue to seek justice but most importantly to seek justice in the unity that jesus talks about that his believers must represent, with believers, christians have always been at the forefront of different issues and i think this one is no different, so right now, in a time of turmoil and in a time of trying to figure out where we go next as a nation, we need to seek kindness , we immediate to treat people with compassion, we need to seek justice, we need to give people their just do whether that's protection or whether that's punishment, and we need

to take riotousness and that is simply the moral law that i believe we all should live by, so this sunday, here in boston we're welcoming everyone to come and join us for a time of worship, music, prayer, and scripture boston pray this sunday. steve: right and for the folks who can't be there i'm sure it's going to be live streaming. you just mentioned jeremiah from the bible, our producers pulled it up. here is how that reads. it says let the one who boasts boast about this , that they have the understanding to know me, that i am the lord, who exercises kindness, justice, and riotousness on earth for in these i delight, declares the lord. you know, again, as you have looked at the national unrest over the last couple of weeks, how do you explain how america may be changing? >> well i think that this is a similar moment for america, and i say that because these things have happened over and over

again throughout history but whenever big changes happen, you see large groups of people across economic and health anything divides come together and recognize that there is a problem and what i've seen, what i've experienced in speaking with so many other people that i know across ethnic and socio socioeconomic lines is that there is a listening that's happening and there is a mourn ing with those who mourn that it's happening and when we have that type of empathy when we're willing to let our guards down and willing to address season issues that have been going on for a very very long time that's when change happens, so the feeling right now that i have is that we can move forward from this place and meet in a better place when we look back on this 2020 several years from now, but it's going to take work it's not only going to take awareness but advocacy and it's going to take direct action, not by the people most effected, but by everyone starting at the very very top. steve: uh-huh. ben, how is this impacted you personally? >> i've struggled.

i've struggled and over the last several weeks, this is not just about george floyd. again, i mentioned this is about a litany of traumas and compound trauma that has happened over the course of several hundred years. most recently, obviously we're talking about ahmad arbery, talking about even the event that happened in central park with amy cooper, we're talking about all of these different things together and by the way, we've been in corona and quarantined so there is this emotion and not too long ago i really felt despair, but in despair there was always hope there's always hope not only because as i mentioned before, we are believers and we believe in a god who can deliver but also because we believe in the promise of america and we believe that the most indispensable element of our greatness is justice and we've always started to strengthen that way no matter how long its taken. steve: right. well, for folks who are interest ed if you're in the boston area, sunday at 3:30 at parkmen band stand on tremont street check it out in boston. >> 2:30.

2:30. steve: all right there you go. >> yes, sir. steve: thank you very much. it is always a pleasure, ben thank you very much and have a great weekend. all right, we're going to step aside more of fox & friends in just a couple. introducing new voltaren 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.
