life can be an open book to other people. thank you. >> dana: ainsley earhardt, it's a great book and you have a new chapter in there and i encourage everybody to get it. thank you for the words of encouragement have a great weekend. thank you for joining us. i am dana perino. i'll see you let 5:00. but next, i've got bill hemmer. >> bill: have some work to do. nice to see you and have a great weekend. i'm bill hemmer. good friday afternoon. you've almost made it. we begin this hour with the latest where the protesters took over several blocks in the heart of that city calling it a cop free zone. that area surrounding police precinct where cops abandoned earlier in the week. president trump has said the protesters are "domestic terrorists." morning that he would straighten out the situation at the local leaders don't act. the seattle mayor has defended the demonstration saying people are exercising their right to

free speech. i will speak with two members of law enforcement, a sheriff, achieve, and a detective. you told is an amazing story yesterday, what is the latest now from there? >> what is very clear now is that the political leadership in seattle has no idea how this is going to end. yesterday in her first news conference and says all began monday night, the mayor said that this is kind of like a block party or a gay pride festival. she also later went on cnn and said when asked about how this all ends, she said i don't know, maybe this will be the summer of love. so clearly, she is taking a very low-key approach. meanwhile, you have the police chief who came out here yesterday to see for herself if there is any damage in the building that was on the outside a little bit on the inside this precinct that was abandoned on monday night, but she is saying that this has to be reoccupied by the police because it is a

public safety issue. the response times for priority one calls like robberies have more than tripled from 5 minutes to 18 minutes. that could mean life or death for people who need to call police, need to call 911 and have them show up. listen to what the residents say about the cops pulling out and what the situation is now. >> i lived on capitol hill for 30 years. the amount of graffiti, the amount of trash, the lack of backing for the small businesses that are here breaks my heart. >> and we have talked to some of those business owners and frankly, they are too afraid to talk to us on camera because they don't want to have anything more happened to their buildings. they have a lot of plywood up right now, we see some business is starting to take the plywood off just outside of this autonomous zone but they are worried if they come out and

publicly speak against these protesters that they will have to put those boards back up and have more damage. so chaos politically, economically in the city of seattle right now with what to do with this protest. that has no sign of going away. >> bill: you are right about that. thank you, back in seattle. he was the former king county, washington, sheriff, how are you doing and welcome to our program. you were asked about the funding and said we serve at the pleasure of the public. should be there decision. what does that mean? >> i think that's true. i don't want to see police chiefs and sheriffs running around with their hair on fire because they think they're going to get defunded. they want to defund the police departments, they can do that. all we can do is tell them what the consequences are going to be and then so be it. >> bill: so you say for too long, we as police have said we are the cops and you're not, don't tell us how to do our job.

>> that's been the attitude. >> bill: if you don't do it, who does? >> i want to hear from the public. how do you want us to do our job and how do you want us to police? you don't want a militarized police department, tell us and we won't be militarized. that's how it ought to work. >> bill: if they were to take away the funding for police, would that be okay for you? >> not saying it's okay as such, but they have the right to do that. we should listen, and then tell them what those consequences are going to be and then they will have to live with the consequences as we are. >> bill: what do you think of what's happening in downtown seattle? >> i think it's a mess, it's an absolute mess, i think it's illegal, it shouldn't be going on here the question is, what is the best way to get out of the mess that is happening right now, and that's with the leaders, the mayor of seattle is going to have to figure out and she's got a big problem on her hands. >> bill: they've gotten to this point for decisions they've

already made and they abandon the police precinct on monday night. i don't know how you take that was back in less it looks really ugly. >> i think there's a couple of ways to take them back. could be really ugly, but it could peter out. in let's give it a little bit of time perhaps and see what happens. >> bill: thank you for your time. the chair from the state of washington. thank you, sir. former executive director of national black police association, how are you, good day to you, what do you think about that call there? he is saying that the public decide. with that work? >> i think we have to really answer the question of the public by the police and the police are the public and policed by the people. now do we think it will work if we talk about the funding? i have to ask what are you talking about, are you talking about abolishment, talking about total disaster of police, and some of the model, and i think you were asking for some dire

consequences that you can see definitely life will imitate art from movies like the purge. i think government leaders would have to understand if you go down that road, there will certainly be consequences, ramifications, repercussions when you try to do those things, so i have to ask, i have heard different things in different places about what defunding means, and everyone seems to have a different idea of taking money away if defunding is taking money away, you don't have to defund the police department to do that. you just have to say where my going to cut the budgets and where my going to raise the tax base to get these things accomplished for what we want to do? >> bill: you make a good point. defunding means different things to different communities in different cities, sometimes it just means moving money around to different areas and sometimes it means cutting your police force. fewer cops. >> i think most people looking at models and citing places like

camden who is already troubled in 2011 and 200 officers already cut before they had to reorganize and emerge into the county, people want to look at those things and say i think it can work but realistically, when you know the evil that lurks in the streets, if you know what a really good police service will do for a community for the hero, the brave people, the courageous people who view thousands of acts of greatness every day, you see the evil that lurks in the streets daily, those things won't stop. good excellent stop and crime want stop, so we have to lean into higher middle ground to talk about what it will be. i've said before, there is no us versus them. is only us. and we can seek a higher middle ground and still accomplish those same goals by having a robust police force and a

vibrant citizenry in the community. >> bill: i'm going to use your words, we as a country have let it come to this and we as a country have to come together to fix this. thank you for your time today out of dallas, texas, thank you. want to bring in ted williams, former d.c. detective emma fox news contributor. today we meet up again. i want to play you a clip from the interview that harris did with the president from dallas last night and this was coming out just about an hour ago on what he would do regarding law enforcement. >> i am saying when they talk about police, when they actually talk about beyond defunding, they go all out because defunding to a lot of people means break up police forces and either that or don't give them any money. i want to see really compassionate but strong law enforcement. >> bill: so that is the question about what would be an executive order, what should be in it?

>> i understand strong compassionate police officers, but i think you're going to have to have a little bit more here, going to have to have something that is going to satisfy members of that community and at this stage, i don't know what that is going to be. we have right now in seattle anarchy. we have demonstrators holding up an eight block in seattle there and they are demanding free education, they are demanding a disbandment of the police department. these kinds of things are things that cannot take place or it is unrealistic and i've got an unfortunate disagreement, one of the individuals on here saying we should just let this peter out. is not going to peter out. as you know last night, the president of the united states came out and said if the governor won't take care of this, that he will.

i think that's totally inappropriate. i think donald trump should say this is a state and local matter that should be taken care of. >> bill: perhaps he will. let's see how that has worked out in the end. what did you think of what the sheriff said a few moments ago in the state of washington? he thinks the public should tell the police what sort of force they want. could you figure that out? >> no. i hate to disagree with that person, but that is not the way it works in our society. our society has the criminal element out here ready to do harm to citizens within that society, and the fact about it is, we need law enforcement officers in place to protect the citizens of any community in america. so i am in disagreement that we have to be at that level with the citizen free of any city or

state. >> bill: thank you for your time. nice to be with you all week long here and we will see what is in the order when eventually it becomes public. have a good weekend. the rnc now moving its convention to jacksonville, florida, after north carolina said it may have to limit crowd sizes. we'll talk to the mayor of jacksonville and find out how they will keep the folks safe down there and how they score that convention. stocks in a rebound after a massive dive yesterday. where will that roller coaster go from here? are money guy today austin and steve coming up as well. stay tuned coming up next. to pay for bites of this... ...with this. when kids won't eat dinner, potato pay them to. ore-ida. win at mealtime. makes it beautiful. state of the art technology makes it brilliant. the lexus nx experience the crossover in its most visionary form.

>> bill: a man suspected of ambushing the police station killed in a shoot-out. police say several officers were heard as they closed in on him. investigators say it is the same gunman who opened fire on wednesday and shot a deputy in the head and may have also killed a homeless man nearby. that deputy now recovering in the hospital. >> 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. governor cooper refused to work with us. 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 of florida. >> this is an election like you will never see. the rnc officially moving its convention out of jacksonville after the dispute with the

north carolina governor over limits on crowd size for the republican mayor of jacksonville, thank you for your time. talk during hurricanes, let's talk during this period ten cities, eight states completed. how did you win and why? >> heard a couple of weeks ago that the president was youth interested in moving the convention. i reached out via social media, members of my team connected with people in the administration and we are serious and real in jacksonville and we made the case. we got through covid-19, flatten the curve, got people back to work in a responsible way. we hosted the first live sporting event during covid-19 in our arena successfully with proper health protocols and so here we are ready to get back to work. >> bill: ufc, the arena which is where the convention is being held, 30 days removed from that.

how do you think you'll be able to pull that off? >> we flatten the curve, the hospitalizations are really low, we expect to have a full arena. it is necessary at that time given where they are with covid-19. we here in jacksonville are excited about seeing the president's renomination and about demonstrating the country in a safe and responsible way. >> bill: two more things, the statement came out today that they are hammering the president four. an audience of one, donald trump siegel. donald trump refuses to listen to health experts because he only cares about himself. democrats will follow science and prioritize the health and safety of the american people. they say he is delusional for trying to hold this event anyway. what do you say to that? >> they are playing politics.

let's talk about the health issues, my governor is a republican, ron desantis grade and he was one of the first governors to act in a way that was based on the science and data and isolate the assisted living facilities. we are going to have a convention in jacksonville, it will be done in a responsible way, safe, but it will be a celebration and will demonstrate that we are open for business and we are getting things done. >> bill: there is an event next friday in tulsa, and apparently those who attend will have to sign a waiver saying they will not sue if they get the virus. will something like that be in effect for the convention in august in jacksonville? >> so i have heard no discussions as it relates to that up to this point. the committee that will actually host this won't be the city of jacksonville. we have a separate, nonpartisan,

nonprofit host committee that will raise private dollars and as we will work for the details, we will know more about that but this is a time demonstrating. >> bill: no waivers as of today, but that could change. >> none to my knowledge. i have not heard any discussions about that but we are one day into this so we have to hammer out details, have to hammer out contracts and we will do this in a way, the record in jacksonville speaks for itself the way they work through covid-19 and the way we've gotten our people back to work. >> bill: coming back soon, lots to talk about. thank you for being here today. a week of protest, pandemic and political unrest, how this moment is now shaping the race for 2020 and the way that we have never seen before. one for the history books, no doubt. chris wallace is on deck next. there was a time when this represented the future.

>> bill: less than a five months away from a presidential election. the campaign events are far cry from the pack defense we usually see. joe biden left delaware again, he was talking about covid when he said the following in philadelphia. >> we have to pursue tough fines for those larger businesses that don't abide by the standards and recklessly expose their workers to this. i am beginning to get bored by my own talk here. >> bill: that is not something you hear a politician say every day. "trump is beating trump. invited and wants to make the race a referendum on the president needs to make it a choice. chris wallace, anchor of fox news sunday and the author

of the brand-new historical thriller "countdown 1945," it's a good one, it's a doozy as i said the other day and i'll talk to you about that in just a moment. these events are happening real time. i don't know if we will ever see a campaign like this again the way the news is moving at the moment. how do you after having constructed this historical look from 75 years ago, from the history we are watching today. can you? >> i agree with the columnist for "the wall street journal" that trump is beating trump right now. you have this major cultural shift. we don't know how long it will last, but when you see the nfl, roger caddell flipping on kneeling during the national anthem or remarkably when you see nascar with its roots in the south banning the confederate flag, they think there was a real cultural shift going on, but kim strassel was

saying that the president doesn't seem to be reacting to that cultural shift and runs the risk of being left behind and that would be a bad place >> bill: you are running for reelection. having said that, you just watched joe biden there when you see why he's not going to be able to put this race away. he's got the mask hanging from his ear and having trouble getting out a sentence or two. a hero right. i've been covering national politics for 40 years and never seen a campaign like this and who knows what lies ahead and i'm not sure i ever want to see a campaign like this again. i like it when the candidates are out on the trail and campaigning and pressing the flesh and conventions are held with people there. not a virtual conventions. this is one for the books. >> bill: we just heard in the last hour the head coast of the houston texans said he will kneel this season with his team, and that goes to the point you are making about the nfl commissioner.

with regard to joe biden, we don't know how he performs in a week to week basis. we don't know how he performs on a day-to-day basis because he has been pretty much locked do down. >> and you had a top strategic advisor and a very smart politician, top strategic advisor to bill clinton and hillary clinton and governor of virginia who said biden is doing just fine in the basement. part of that was the fact that biden leads in the polls and he has been largely in the basement but i think part of it is a feeling, probably won't say it out loud in the part of some democrats, biden is vexed when you don't see him and when he is not out there conceivably stepping in it. so there is some question at some point, he will have to get out and campaign every day, and i think that is what president trump and his campaign are looking forward to. >> bill: it is a very interesting read and we will see how high that goes up the chain. now to you, my friend, countdown

1945, why was it so critical for you to look back at this period of time 75 years ago. >> i wanted to write and use it at the very beginning, a history thriller, to take an important momentous time period and decision and go into it in depth. so when i chose, what could be more momentous than the decision and the ways in which they move forward to drop the atom bomb. so it is 116 days to change the world and begins on april 10th when truman becomes president, doesn't even know about the existence of the manhattan project and the atom bomb and over the course of 116 days, we put you with truman as he's trying to make this enormous decision but the scientist says they're trying to figure out whether they can actually get an atom bomb they called it the gadget whether it would actually work, didn't have the first test until 21 days before they

dropped it on hiroshima and the flight crew who as they flew the plane to hiroshima to drop it because it had never happened before didn't know whether the explosion would knock them out of this guy. so the best review i got was somebody said i know what happened in 1945, but this book reads like a thriller and that's what i was trying to do. >> bill: nicely done. congratulations on that. this sunday, going to talk to ben carson, secretary of housing and urban development and california democratic congresswoman outside your local fox station. should check your tv listings for the time in your area. you want the best conversation on melissa's new book, check them out on my podcast, he was there to talk about it, you can hear it on foxnewspodcast.com, check it out on spotify or apple tunes, whenever you get it, itunes, et cetera. i thoroughly enjoyed learning that aspect of world history.

thank you, sir. to see you on sunday. >> me too. was fun. >> bill: thank you, chris. have a good weekend. states seein saying they are sea spike in covid cases and stocks bouncing up and down today after the worst day in three months. i will ask where our economy is headed next. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can become your big moment.

that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you.

this moment right now... this is our commencement. no, we'll not get a diploma or a degree of any kind. but we are entering a new chapter in our lives. our confidence is shaken; our hearts cracked. the kind of a crack that comes from the loss of a job; from life plans falling apart. we didn't ask for it... but we are rising to meet it. and how far we've come isn't even close to how far we can go.

we just have to remember how patient we were... how strong we can be. (how strong you can be.) and remember this; there's a crack in everything for a reason. how else can the light get in? ♪ tomorrow starts today. >> bill: the number of those americans infected with covid-19 is rising in half the states according to data analyzed by the associated press. reports its because states are using restrictions but also because of more testing, a lot of it. jonathan serrie reports live in atlanta, home of the cdc. good afternoon there. >> good to you there. new spikes and states located in the south and also out west. in fact, as infection rates rise in texas, officials in the city

of houston are considering a new stay-at-home order and oregon governor kate brown has placed a seven day hold on new applications from counties wanting to reopen. take a listen. >> reopening comes with real risk, and that's why we are carefully monitoring the ability of our public health system to respond to covid-19 cases without becoming overwhelmed. >> this afternoon, the centers for disease control and prevention issued recommendations to help americans protect themselves as they venture out into a society where coronavirus is still spread. >> i know the people are eager to return to normal activities and ways of life. however, it's important that we remember that the situation is unprecedented, and that the pandemic has not ended. >> the key recommendations include limiting the amount and the duration of your social interactions during the day,

continuing to wear face coverings when you are in public situations where you can't keep at least 6 feet away from other people, and this one was interesting. the cdc had a whole section on safety when you travel overnig overnight. otherwise, hotel safety says people should consider taking the stairs unless they can get an elevator all to themselves. i thought that was really interesting. >> bill: i'm having a hard time following it, to be honest with you. and i do it for a living every single day. thank you, jonathan serrie in atlanta. >> i spoke to our health experts at some length throughout the evening. they are 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. >> bill: that has been the refrain repeated by many members of the me administration. stocks swinging back and forth a

big time after about 300 a day after we saw one of the worst sell-off since the start of the pandemic. want to bring in our panel from advisor to president trump's election campaign in 2016, former chair of president obama on the council, it's great to have you back. i don't know if it is stephen austin. but here are the headlines. 1.5 million americans lost their jobs in the last week. not good. at the same time, the fed say the rates will stay at zero until the year 2022, steve. put that together in the mix. >> a couple of things. first of all, we do have a recovery, just the start of recovery happening. obviously if we have any kind of recurrence of the virus, that would be a horrible thing. hundreds of counties opened up, this is mostly a media story. a few counties that had problems but in most of the country, the death rates and hospitalization rates are falling. but he was a big point here.

you look at that report you just mentioned by the fed, they are actually very optimistic about the economy, more optimistic than i am, maybe even more so than you. they are basically saying by the end of the year in the unemployment rate less than 10% which would be fantastic saying in 2,021, we could have a growth rate of 5%. they see steady improvement in the economy. so that is the real headline of what the fed had to say. >> bill: okay. the full range of tools is what the fed chair said. that was his quote. austin, you are up, go. >> has steve would call that fantastic, i have no idea. the fed's description and the thing that sobered the stock market after a few days of joy because we had a good jobs number last friday, the thing that sobered the market was the fed explaining that we are going

to be years before we are back to the spot where we were before this arrived. having unemployment knocking at the door of double digits at the end of this year, that is not fantastic at all. that is awful. so i think let's remember rule number one of virus economics, the best thing you can do for the economy is to slow the rate and spread of the virus. so let's hope that steve is right, that this is just an isolated media story in a few places or it's because there's more testing because if we start getting the infection rate spreading back around, it is not about governors declaring that we need to go back into lock down, it is absolutely about individuals all across the country withdrawing, and you see it in the polling, they are very anxious and nervous about going back out into the economy. that starts to spread again, it will get worse. >> bill: a couple of points, steve clinicians at the same thing that they will not be a second shut down.

yesterday, the big drop off was credited to the fact that everybody filed the virus levels were shooting through the roof and we would have another epidemic on our hands in different parts of the country that haven't seen it yet. a second wave covid scare, the numbers are better than the headlines and reopening is necessary. >> i am the biggest opponent of the lockdown of the first place because i'm the one that said all along the economic carnage from locking down our economy and shutting down our businesses and then putting 30 or 40 million people out of work, the long-term consequences are extremely negative. so that's why i've been saying get the economy opened up in a safe and effective way. we probably have an unemployment rate close to 20% today because we lockdown our economy. i think it's good progress, still a grim picture if we can get that down from 20% to less than 10% by the end of the year.

is going to be a long process. i don't think we should sugarcoat this. is going to take a long time to get anywhere near normal, but the good news is, we are starting down that, and i don't know about you, but i've been in washington, i was in chicago, i am seeing people out all over the place now. i think people are getting out, but you see people going to stores again, businesses opening up again and in my opinion, no reason that any single business should stay on lockdown. >> bill: you made your point. go ahead. >> all i'll say is i want our economy to come back. you look at the other rich countries of the world, they were able to do better than we did, the turnaround of their economy. they haven't had nearly as bad unemployment hit as we have had, they haven't been and were not in lockdown nearly as long as we were, and the way that they did

it is by the testing and controlling the spread of the virus. the reason we went into lockdown is not because of state orders. that's where i think you're wrong. is not about the government for the president for any leader declaring that we are in lockdown and no leader can declare, therefore the problem is over and everyone should go back out. that is only determined by how fast the disease is spreading. we can get control of the disease, the economy can come back robustly and that's what i want. >> what about florida? florida has opened up and is doing much better than new york and that is because you had a better governor in florida than you have a new york. it's that simple. >> you say that, but the unemployment rate is way up in florida just like in new york, and now there is unfortunately a big rash of cases coming in florida. so we just have to hope that this doesn't reignite the spread of the virus. it doesn't, then that's great.

>> bill: with regard to this, had about a 14-day period here in new york that was downright ugly and the doctors at these hospitals were taking inpatients and waves that they could never foresee before, and that sent a ripple effect across the country that we are still feeling today. we don't want to go back to that and so far we haven't. but gentlemen, i appreciate the debate and we will bring you in next friday. there they are, austin and steve, thank you. meanwhile, the effects of the black lives matter movement now impacting many aspects of american life and policy, from politics to policing to what you watch on tv. how this moment today is shaping the future of our nation. so you only pay for what you need!

you're going to say. >> it is on the day of african-american -- >> the fact i am having a rally on that day, you can think about it very positively as a celebration because a rally to me as a celebration. >> bill: decision to hold a rally in tulsa on juneteenth, the day that commemorates the end of slavery, says he did not pick that date on purpose. tolls of this month is marking 99 years since a race massacre in that city when a white mob burn down the black neighborhood and killed hundreds. want to bring in our panel today, professor of african studies, how are you doing, jason? and lawrence jones, fox news analyst and fox nation host who i see on sixth avenue. we look around the city and say what in the world happen to this town. gentlemen, welcome to both of you. got a problem with this rally on that day in tulsa? >> no, i don't because i don't think it's anything donald trump -- it's not any

attempt to reconcile anything that's happened, it is not attempt to unify the country. i really do believe him when he says that the date is coincidental. i absolutely believe that. i think you hear a message where he will say something really briefly about juneteenth, he will make some reference to the massacre in tulsa, oklahoma, 1921, but then he is going to prevent the riots and looters and i think in many ways to demonize many of the people who are trying to fight for our progress of the country. >> bill: you use the word celebration. i'll tell you, if the african-americans who are in the cabinet room the other day are there with him on stage, that will leave an impression because they clearly believe that this president is in their corner. >> i think the president has an opportunity to do something a little different. the celebration of a rally is a little bit different than people from my background doing on that

day. it's a celebration in the community where people get together, do barbecues, so i would suggest the president then potentially go to some of those events and then do his rally. could have the opportunity to present his black agenda to america, he could talk about the riots and black wall street, how it was burned down an economic agenda to bring black america back, could talk about his opportunity come up with the president can pivot on this but if it's just simply is traditional rally, and i think the president -- i do think it's a coincidence, but he has an opportunity now that he has the historical information to change that a little bit. >> bill: the events are happening so quickly, right? almost by the hour, don't you think? chris wallace was talking about this earlier with the nfl commissioner reversing his position and then mentioned the houston head coach for the texans will kneel with the team, you've got nascar in the

confederate flag, denver is considering no police in their schools next year and that is all happening and then last hours. outlawed in the city of louisville, kentucky. have you stop to think about the way the country could be changing before your eyes connect >> i think change is good in many ways and also is often times. getting rid of no knock warrants is a good thing because we have seen that family diane detroit, 7-year-old, and that was live on his television show when she was shot in the head by a police officer. i think these are good things. number one, cops canceled because it got low ratings. that is primarily the reason why

cops was canceled. >> bill: that will do it for sure. low ratings will do it. but lawrence, what do you think about that? some people are suggesting there is a cancel culture in full effect today. >> i've spoken with people all across the country and it is clear have to the death of mr. floyd that a lot of people look at policing much different in the country. people like myself have experienced different perspectives our entire lives. but i think the risk and the live legislation is good, getting rid of no knock warrants but the cancel culture then becomes a problem when you start seeing cancellations of such things like "paw patrol." progressives have to be very careful because you have the country unified on one friend of getting real reforms, and i think the average people look at those reforms and think that's a good idea, then come back and say it's a go too far when you wanted to cancel a cartoon. >> bill: do you think they should get rid of those

confederate statues? sure they take those out of the capital? >> i do think that that is a conversation for every community to have. i don't think people should go up there and take them up -- take them down themselves. i think that's problematic but if the community decides that that is a history that they want to get away with, that is their prerogative just like south carolina did with dylann roof when he did his assassination on mother emmanu emmanuel. >> bill: thank you, gentlemen. a topic that needs more time than we have today. thank you. hollywood getting back to work today, but not quite business as usual, that i had ♪ it's velveeta shells & cheese

versus the other guys. ♪ clearly, velveeta melts creamier.

>> bill: california's film industry back up and running with new safety guidelines changing the atvs and shows are produced. what's up, jerry?

i will try it again. what's up, jerry? [laughs] >> you've got me now. >> bill: listen, i can hear you. i don't know if you can hear me. you've got about 45 seconds. there we go. >> all right, i'll tell you all about it, my friend. we were talking about the movie coming out wednesday. high stakes for that movie. they kept their june 17th release date despite the fact that movie theaters in california are only opening today and moving production back on schedule today. as you might imagine, the industry has been under pressure, losing $5 billion over the period of time they've been closed down. now we are expecting the reopening to really give the whole area and economic push. big changes.

one of the biggest in hollywood for movie production, no more scenes, no more fighting scenes. >> bill: got to keep people away from each other. have a great weekend, everybody, see you monday. here is neil. >> neil: you are looking live at seattle, washington, where there is a siege but a quiet peaceful siege. the best way to describe it, the capitol hill autonomous zone that has disrupted life in that city as we know it. folks are in charge and not the police not wanted anywhere near there. the precinct forced to shut down, so if you're having legal issues or police issues, criminal issues, you might be waiting a while. that's where we stand right now. welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto and this is "your world." now it's six blocks.

many argue it could continue for
