so did -- deadly force scenario. jillian: lamont johnson said they had a tough decision no matter what. he joins us next.

>> put your hands behind your back. >> you're going to get tased! you're going to of get tased! >> [bleep] >> jillian: a fox news alert now, protesters are demanding justice for rayshard brooks, the man who was shot and killed by police in atlanta. as the medical examiner lists his manner of death as homicide. todd: the shooting captured on of camera and happened after brooks grabbed a taser from one of the officers as they tried to arrest him for allegedly driving under the influence. so was this a deadly force scenario? joining us live is former nypd officer, lamont johnson. sir, thanks as always for joining us during these very,

very difficult times and these difficult conversations that we have to have. with that, does this incident qualify for the use of deadly force in your estimation? >> not in my estimation. the taser could be used to incapacitate the officer and therefore after the officer was incapacitated, the person could take his firearm and shoot the officer. so in that case, it will become a deadly weapon. because it would cause the officer's death if his firearm was taken off of him. this is a life and death situation and it's a split second situation, it's very difficult to know what was in the officer's mind at the time of the incident. jillian: so just to clarify, you are saying that you believe that they were justified in using deadly force or they were not? >> i don't believe he was justified in using deadly force. the person was running away. they had the person's id. i believe they also had his vehicle. they may have had to arrest him

another day. jillian: okay. let's take a look at what the atlanta police department manual says. this was updated as of june 7th. stick with me for a second. i want to get your opinion on this. this says, quote, on the use of deadly force, he or she reasonably believes that the suspect possesses a deadly weapon or any object of, device or instrument which when used offensively against a person is likely to or actually does result in serious bodily injury and when he or she reasonably believes that the suspect possesses an immediate threat of serious bodily injury to the officer or others, or this is the second clause, when there's probable cause to believe that the suspect has committed a crime involving the inflection and the employee reasonably believes the suspect's escape would create a continuing danger of serious physical harm to any person. that's in the atlanta police department manual. what do you take of what you read from that, from the manual,

to what happened then over the weekend? >> well, with the manual, that suggests that the officer followed what he was trained to do and what you do in practice and what you do in training you do in reality. so if that's what the manual said, then i guess the officer felt he was right in his actions. todd: i want to put us all in the mindset of the officer for a moment here. hindsight is so easy, 20/20. a lot of critics are saying why didn't the officer shoot at the suspect's legs to disable him as opposed to shooting him in the back which killed him. how do you respond? >> officers are taught to kill center mass. they're not shot to of kiln then the legs or the arms. that's something you see on

television. i don't know if that's how they're taught in atlanta, the police department. but in most police departments, officers are taught to shoot center mass, not at the legs or not at the arms. jillian: and then, sir, finally, he is running away. i mean, we all see this video on your screen, he's running away. we know he was shot in the back. he still has the taser in his hand. i think -- i've heard both lines of thought here over the course of the last few days. on on one hand, as you mentionet the top of the segment, saying he had the taser, he could have incapacitated the officer, the officer has a weapon, he could have grabbed the weapon. there's so many ifs, ands or buts. he was running away. how much does that play into this. >> there's a perception and perhaps a reality that too many unarmed black men and women are being shot and killed. this person was armed with a weapon. with today's climate and so many things happening, that's why there's so much focus on what

happened in this incident. too many black men and women are being killed by the police. that's the perception and that's the reality for many people and many black females and black males don't feel safe around the police. they don't feel safe for their children. they don't feel safe for themselves and it's a climate of mistrust right now. that makes the job even more difficult for police officers. jillian: yeah. okay. lamont johnson, thank you very much for joining us with that information. we appreciate it. >> thank you. todd: all right. time now is 17 minutes after the hour. new york's governor threatening to close new york city again if social distancing is ignored. >> there is a very real possibility that we would roll back the reopening in those areas. todd: so how much damage would a second shutdown cause? that is the question. economist peter morici says it would be a big blow to the

national economy. he joins us next. *6

todd: welcome back. today a dozen states easing more lockdown restrictions and the national economic council director, larry kudlow, predicting the economy's on track for a major rebound. >> with the rescue package and the reopening of the economy as we transition, 80% of small businesses according to the chamber of commerce are reopening, new business applications are roaring. i think we're off to the races in what will be a very strong v-shaped recovery. jillian: with tens of millions of americans still without work, is this prediction accurate? do we know right now? joining us to weigh is in former chief economist for the

international trade commission and business professor peter morici. good to see you this morning. thanks for joining us. >> nice to be with you. jillian: what do you think about the v-shape we keep hearing about, is it too soon to tell. >> it's more like a check. we're getting a bounce. we won't get to our prior level immediately. too many small businesses have closed permanently. how can a restaurant do the same volume of business and hire as many people if you can only serve 40% of your tables? it's silly to say we're just going to go back to where we were before. this is a very extraordinary situation. todd: i'm not going to lie, peter. for those of us who make our checks like vs, that know men clanomenclature caused a lot of confusion. we have 21 million americans out of work, 13.3% unemployment

rate, that's the first drop. we were all celebrating that. that's still a pretty high number. the economy gained 2.5 million jobs, the first time it has ated jobs since february. there's an interplay here. you mentioned this in the past. if we keep paying people to not work and lot of that money is greater than what they would make working, is that a disincentive? kudlow says yes. take a listen. >> it's above the state unemployment benefits that they will continue to receive, is in effect a disincentive or -- i mean, we're paying people not to work. >> i think he's got a point. todd: do you agree with cuds low? >--kudlow. >> if were you making $800 a week before and now you're making $900 a week for staying home and you have one of those ordinary jobs that only pays 800 a week which is physical and so forth, it's tough to justify going back to work. the most important reason to go

back to work is if you don't do it, the job may not be there when you decide you want it. if you're a waiter in a restaurant, and restaurants are operating at 40% capacity, when the benefits are up in august it still may be 40% capacity and someone else has got the spot. now, people still need some help because there are a lot of people who are permanently unemployed. behind the 2.5 million that we picked up last month, the labor department also added about 300,000 more people that reported that they had permanently lost their jobs. there are a lot of temporary comebacks but there are a lot of layoffs that are becoming terribly permanent. in the airline industry and elsewhere, in law firms and what have you. jillian: peter, there are some states that are seeing spikes in coronavirus cases right now and the question is, if states start to see spikes, are we going to have to shut down any more. here's what new york governor

andrew cuomo had to say about this on sunday. take a listen. >> highest number of complaints, 25,000 state-wide, there is a very real possibility that we would roll back the reopening. we would have no choice but to take state action. jillian: pea techs i think that would be -- peter, i think that would be devastateing to a lot of people who are just getting their businesses up and running again. >> it would be. the thing is, the governor has a peculiar lens when it comes to this sort of of thing. he was encouraging people to demonstrate and regardless of whether people have good reason to demonstrate in light of recent events, that kind of massing even outside, history tells us, enhances the spread of a passage like the coronavirus. we had terrible instances like that during the spanish flu and he was encouraging people to go out and demonstrate. yet people congregating in bars is a terrible thing. the reality is, what he may have

to do is shut down the bars. the u.s. economy really at this tenuous time can't handle new york going down again. there's no reason to close law firms and accounting firms and shut down the subways because you can't accomplish social distancing. the reality is, a lot of whether social distancing works depends on of how well people respond to prescriptions by public officials. if you're going to give conflicting messages, which the governor has done over and over again, then we're going to have these kinds of problems. jillian: well, we'll continue to follow it. peter, as always, thank you for joining us. good to see you. >> take care. jillian: it is 27 minutes after the hour. trump -- new funding is just approved for a controversial settlement. todd: republicans set to introduce a new bill this week.

we have a debate, next. guys, it's that time... and nothin's happenin'.

well now there's score!, from force factor, to rev your libido and maximize physical response. it's no wonder force factor is the #1 fastest-growing men's health brand at walmart. unleash your potential in the bedroom with score!.

jillian: welcome back. a look at if top headlines this morning. protests erupting nationwide over the death of a black man shot by police in atlanta. rayshard shot and killed after reportedly grabbing an officer's taser. his death ruled a homicide. todd: as calls grow to defund police departments, more leading democrats are pushing back. jim clyburn insisting no one will defund police. senate gop leaders are working on a plan to reform departments, expected to be released this week. jillian: today major league baseball owners are expected to take the next course of action for the 2020 season. the union ending negotiations and reportedly demanding the league set the schedule. the union rejected the latest

officer. players would receive 70% prorated pay. todd: running out of time on that. meantime, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu vowing to move forward on a settlement named after president trump. jillian: we break down the plans. >> reporter: the trump heights settlement was announced last year by the israeli government. over the weekend the country approved $2.3 million in funding to get started on the project. the land sits in the golan heights which isn't recognized as part of israel by the international community. though president trump signed an executive order last march formally referring to the land contested with syria as part of israel. as of 2019 there were 26,000 jewish set letters living in the g -- settlers living in the golan. currently the area has just over a dozen residence. this comes 15 days before

benjamin netanyahu is scheduled to annex key parts of the west bank. the plan has received heavy pushback from the arab world, including jordan which warned of possible conflicts as a result. tensions continued, although the past few months have been a rare period of quiet. one of the largest concerns is the possibility of violence erupting as a result of the decision by the israeli government. one important thing to remember here is that the americans did put forth a deal of the century peace plan, though it has been widely rejected by the palestinians, offering no clear solution in the near future. todd, jillian. jillian: thanks, trey. the afghan government agreeing to peace talks with the taliban. the two sides will hold their first meeting in qatar. no date has been set. the taliban says the government must free more prisoners first. this comes hours after the afghan officials accused the taliban of killing or wounding

more than 400 security forces in the past week. south korea responding to new military threats from north korea overnight. the president urged the north to return to peace talks after kim jong un's sister kim yo jong, warned of a tragic scene at the liaison office if seoul doesn't stop activists from sending leaflets across the border. former acting director of national intelligence, rick grinnell, is opening up about red flags in the early stages of the russia investigation. >> when you look at the transcripts, when you look at the declassified footnotes from some of the investigations, it's clear, maria, that there were multiple people from multiple agencies that were raising red flags. however, what was really sad to me is that those red flags and those voices were pushed aside,

classified, and never shown to the public. jillian: grinnell argues that transparency in the investigation should never have been political. before leaving his post, grinnell declassified dozens of witness testimonies buried in the investigation. todd: the gop set to introduce its police reform bill this week. the party calling for both sides to come together for a bipartisan action plan. >> the question is, is there a path forward that we take a look at the necessity of eliminating bad behavior within our law enforcement community, is there a path forward. i think we'll find that. we're that close on making progress. i hope we don't let partisanship get in the way. todd: todd: how likely that both parties will agree on the best way to reform law enforcement tactics. joining me, democratic strategist, kevin walling and communications officer of black

media affairs, paris denard. first question to kevin, we're going to put up the senate gop reform plan as we do that, does this republican draft do enough to appease democrats? >> i hope so. it's important to see where the republicans come down on this issue. they'll be introducing it as early as wednesday to the floor. i think as you saw last week, with democrats introducing their overhaul, police overhaul bill in the house, i think it's important to see where both sides are and to see where there are points of agreement. the vast majority of americans support a ban on choke holds, police accountability, the ability to independently investigate issues, especially issues where black men are killed by police. this is something that, again, the vast majority of americans support and the majority of the republicans in this country support as well. again, i think it's important to introduce these two bills, see where there's points of comparison, where we can negotiate and where we can move forward in terms of passing this

bill. todd: paris, democrats have some additions they would like to add to this bill. we'll put those up on the screen right now of. do you think the democrats should be happy with just the republican version? >> at then the end of the day,i believe democrats should be focused on working with the republicans, working with senator tim scott and being on the side of this administration to get something done. so many times we find that democrats are late to the table and refuse to work or refuse to compromise and refuse to make a deal. we know that president trump is the one, is a deal maker and he wants to have a good deal that is benefiting the american people especially the black community who is crying out for justice and for action. so i hope that we can put our partisanship aside and find something that can actually pass and something that could be meaningful in the long term for the entire nation. todd: you both said hope this happens. one word answer to this

question. do we get a bipartisan movement here in the next couple weeks? paris? >> with president trump's leadership, absolutely we can get something done and he'll even do something on the executive action order as well. todd: kevin? >> the vast majority of americans wanting this, republicans and democrats, i think we will. kristin: all right. there we go. i love the positivity. with that, not a lot of positivity in the biden veep states. it's heating up. people are going crazy here. who brings the most to the table if you're joe biden and you need to pick this. >> i think there's a number of great candidates, especially women of color. it's very exciting as a democrat to see the vice president in that debate announce he would choose not just a woman to be his running mate but also the first black woman to serve on the supreme court. the campaign has said that as early as august 1st is when they are going to announce. seems like they're meeting with

a number of contenders, like val demings from orlando, senator kamala harris of california, michelle louhan, the governor of new mexico, also the first latino to be as part of this consideration. there's a number of really strong women that would of balance out the ticket that would appeal to suburban women, to urban women, to all the key voting blocks that we need in order to be successful just five months from now. todd: paris, last question to you. i thought val demings seems like a home run hit because it takes away the law and order argument from president trump to an extent. however, black lives matter disagrees with me. they called, said joe biden would be an idiot if he picks val demings. what do you think about that? >> i think all the conversation shows the weakness of the ticket, the top of the ticket, which is joe biden. val demings, one of the main

problems is the fact that she's out there supporting defunding the police and that is not what the nation needs. that is not something that police departments need. that is not something that black communities need at this time. the majority of americans are against it. and any person that joe biden picks is going to have to answer to his long racist record, especially the 1994 crime bill and the incidents with tara reid. it makes it difficult for any woman, especially a woman of color. todd: we will see. allegedly we're going to hear by august 1st who the vp nominee is. jillian, over to you. jillian: parades held coast to coast in honor of president trump's 74th birthday. a flosimilar protest outings wee held in the waters off miami, the florida keys and jacksonville. todd: on saturday in san diego, a massive fleet hitting the

water. so beautiful, san diego. the organizer said he threw the event to unite the nation. time now is 40 minutes after the hour. a jersey shore community plans to offer indoor dining today, blocked by a judge as the state's democrat governor intervenes. jillian: the owner who has seen revenue drop 83% says she can't wait much longer to fully reopen. she joins us live, next.

jillian: good morning. welcome back. new jersey governor phil murphy is hitting the brakes on asbury park's plan to reopen today, setting a fight with several local restaurant owners who plan to defy state orders of. how much longer can the businesses afford to stay closed? amy russo is the owner of of diner in asbury park, new you

jersey and she joins me now. good morning, thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. jillian: i know how important it is, i know that you guys rely on these primarily 12 weeks throughout the year to make a lot of your business, a lot of your profits. tell me where you are right now with that. >> well, we're halfway through june and another weekend has gone by and here we are. we're opening for outdoor dining only at a very limited capacity. all the towns that we're in, especially asbury park, have been trying to work with us to expand our premises and give us outdoor space. the bottom line, until we get indoor approved in a timely manner, we're going to be in trouble. memorial day through labor day, as you already know, frequenting the jersey shore and we've lost at least three solid weekends. jillian: yeah. it's devastating. there are 80 restaurants in asbury park that have been impacted by this. we'll pull up a tweet from

governor murphy. this says, quote, the evidence is overwhelming and experts are clear, covid-19 is more lethal inside than outside. it's too soon to open restaurants for indoor dining. we won't budge on protecting public health. i know there are going to be restaurant owners that decide it's in their best interest to defy these orders because they're hanging on by a thread. i know you're going to wait and follow the guidelines. my question to you is, in certain states i've seen where certain cases have been made to give out different permits where you can perhaps dine on the street or in a parking lot or certain areas. do you have that capability where you are to perhaps have more outdoor seating, or no? >> yes, absolutely. and like i said, every town, they're closing streets to accommodate us and doing everything they can do to help us recuperate some of the lost revenue. again, it's weather-dependent and i don't think there's any making up for the last three weeks. and i'm in a better position than most. i'm breakfast, pancakes and

eggs. i don't have a liquor license. those that have a liquor license have more to lose. i don't think they're going to defy anybody, unfortunately, as much as they want to because the threat has been made that they'll pull their liquor license. on top of that, they don't make up -- i'm down tens of thousands of dollars every day. weekend day in the summer months that goes by. they're down 20, 30, $40,000, probably a night. jillian: your revenue dropped 83% during the lockdown. that number is incredible to look at. hard to swallow. i know it is, for sure. let's take a look at some of the stages of reopening in new jersey. today, outdoor dining, limited in-person retail, child care services and the next part of the stage for june 22nd includes hair salons and barber shops, nail salons, tanning salons. majority of those pretty much all of them indoors. what are you hoping from your governor for indoor dining? >> you can go to the salon, you can get a facial, you clearly

can't do that with a mask on. so you can do all these things, you mentioned before retail. you still can't eat inside a restaurant. clearly, public health the virus knows if you're shopping rather than in you're dining. i get it. jillian: amy russo. owner of toast city diner. make sure you stop on by as she's open for outdoor dining. >> 7:30, come on down. jillian: thank you for joining us. we wish you the best. keep us updated, okay. >> thank you. todd: if i ever get to see my parents on the shore i will visit you. at least 42,000 cruise ship workers remain trapped at sea, this is not awesome, amid concerns over coronavirus. the miami herald reporting some of then aren't even getting paid. the employees have been stranded since mid-march following several high profile outbreaks. the cdc prohibited cruises in u.s. waters through july 24th. some cruise ship workers have started to be repatriated to

their home countries. obviously, that is a slow, slow process. from the top of the class to the top of the mountain. a new hampshire high school hold offing its graduation at a ski center this weekend. you remember, the principal of the school joined us "fox & friends" last week to graduate the seniors from the ski lift. how cool is that. you can see it here, it went off without a hitch. awesome. jillian: texas sending a strong message to protesters, don't mess with the alamo. todd: the protection put in place to stop activists from storming the historic site. as you get older,

todd: there's a reason you're not supposed to mess with texas. of icials iof officials threates with the alamo. jillian: carley shimkus here with the reaction. >> state and local governments across the country are removing statues at the request of protesters. things are a bit different in texas. the land commissioner issuing a simple warning to rioters, don't mess with the alamo. he was responding to rumors that demonstrators will come after the historic site. but if they do, it will not be easy as the alamo ranger, san antonio police, department of public safety and the national guard have been deployed to protect it. texas senator ted cruz practically daring protesters to try, tweeting come and take it. another twitter user says, yes,

stand up for your state and dawn chiming in saying i love texans, defend the history. they most certainly do defend their history, very proud of it, so i'm sure this display that you see on of your screen right there will come as no surprise to many viewers. todd: gosh. looks like there are as many people there as were at the actual alamo. >> good point. todd: shimkus, what's in a name, there's a lot of confusion in seattle as the protesters can't decide what to call the autonomous zone, is it chaz or chop. >> you could call it the artist formerly known as chaz. some protesters are referring to it as chop which stands for capitol hill occupied/organized protest. those folks say they don't want to call it the autonomous zone because they aren't trying to leave the united states. some signs featuring the chop branding have popped up around the autonomous zone.
