jillian: we got to go. "fox & friends" starts right now. we'll think of horse puns. steve: good morning. we start with a fox news alert. a new wave of protests erupting nationwide following the death of a black man shot by police in atlanta. >> i think you have had too much to drink to be driving. put your hands behind your back for me. you are going to get tadz. you are going to get tased. >> come on, man. >> [gunshots. ainsley: rashard brooks was shot twice in the back in a wendy's parking lot with that struggle with a cop.
3:01 am
medical examiner ruling his death a homicide. >> district attorney now says the officer who fired those fatal shots could face murder charges. jonathan serrie all over this city as the city's mayor sounds off on the unrest. jonathan? >> good morning to you. the shooting went down in the parking lot of this wendy's. now burned down wendy's across the street from where i'm standing. the medical examiner has indeed ruled this case a homicide. cause of death was the shooting. the gunshots. autopsy revealed 27-year-old rayshard books had two gunshots to the back organ failure due to gunshot. brooks grabbed an officer's taser and pointed it at the officer during a brief foot chase that ensued and that's when the officer shot him. officer garrett rolfe has been terminated terminated immediately and fellow officer
3:02 am
devin bronson placed on administrative duty. the district attorney says he expects to make a decision midweek on whether to pursue charges against the police. at a recent town hall forum, atlanta's mayor expressed her frustration over this incident and others like it. take a listen. >> really been difficult for me to put aside my own anger and sadness during this time and really be able to articulate what our communities need to hear because the reality is what can you say? >> over the weekend arsonists set fire to the wendy's where brooks was shot. so many people in the streets protesting. firefighters were unable to reach the building in time to save it. atlanta crime stoppers is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to those responsible for the weekend fire. back to you guys. steve: all right. jonathan serrie on the streets of atlanta. thank you very much. it does sound as if the fulton
3:03 am
county d.a. will decide by wednesday to charge the officers involved. meantime former top cop here in new york city where i'm sitting right now bernie kerik in a situation like this. we have got to figure out what exactly happened before we go forward. here he is right now with steve hilson. >> those cops couldn't have been more calm. they couldn't have been more professional. they couldn't have been more at ease. and the second they went to arrest him and put him in handcuffs he began resisting. and that -- that is -- that's a big support of this problem. i think the general public forgets you can't attack or assault a cop. i don't know what's going on in atlanta and how they operate. but, you know what? you got to do investigations. you got to take -- you have go to give the gospels the benefit of the doubt until the investigation is concluded or you are going to lose your police force. steve: senator tim scott from the great state of south carolina, your home state, ainsley said yesterday, when the
3:04 am
suspect turned to fighter taser the question is what should the officer have done? ainsley: something they are talking about in washington police reform and which ways are the best ways to do that most officers will say we have to wait until this investigation wrapping up. we have to look at all the facts. look at all of the cameras and all of the different angles and decide what, you know, how to proceed with this. as you were saying the d.a. will make a decision in this. but they are talking about it in washington. tim scout, among others, joining in on that conversation. talking about police reform, defunding the police movement. and that's definitely taking front stage. here is representative jim clyburn from the great state of south carolina. he is the house majority whip talking about how we need to fund the police. not defund. listen to this. >> nobody is going to defund the police. we can restructure the police
3:05 am
forces, restructure -- reimagine policing. that is what we're going to do. the police have a role to play. what we have got to do is make sure that that role is one that meets the times. one that responds to these communities that they operate in. this is a structure that has been developed that we have got to deconstruct. so i wouldn't say defund. deconstruct our policing. ainsley: it's called the justifiable in policing act. look at limiting protections for police. creating a national database of excessive force incidents and banning the chokehold, brian? brian: yeah. so jim clyburn says i'm not looking to defund the police. he sounds very level-headed. he has been a voice of reason. he has to get with the rest of his party. ilhan omar wants to absolutely defund the police come up with
3:06 am
something else. when you watch autonomous zones. what do you think they want to do? democrat run cities given the green light by democratic mayor's to go ahead and disband the police. what about aoc? aoc is playing a major role in the biden campaign as an advisor. she is all for deal funding the police. the democrats are the ones defied. jim clyburn and level headed people like that are not. when it comes to law enforcement reform they're on the fast track on the senate side. they are on the fast track on the house side. about to see something coming from the white house. here is senator tim scout who is leading the republican charge. >> the question is there a pat forwarpathforward take a look at necessity -- law enforcement community. is there a path forward? there are approaches very similar and somewhat different at the same time. i think we're going to get to a bill that actually becomes law there are millions of scenarios that play out.
3:07 am
it's one of the reasons why what we have tried to achieve through the legislation is finding the best practice around use of force around the country and then to provide that clarity and guidance for those departments to may need to have a better perspective on use of force. brian: make sure is law enforcement has a seat at the table. don't go tell them about how to do a job on a daily basis the threats they feel. go in there, get people with experience that want to make everything better across the board. doesn't mean they have to advocate for their position. they need a reality check because many of these men and women are not from law enforcement. very few dan bonginos with this type of broad scope and breath the experience. and i would like to see something like that come forward. when it comes to immunity, steve, they are not -- that is a
3:08 am
nonstarter for republicans. eliminating the immunity clause for these officers. they will be sued for every little thing and no one will want to be a cop. you already had six resign on the minneapolis side. there is words you have dozens on the nypd. and i imagine many more will say this is just not worth it. especially if you -- they get sued on a daily basis. steve: you were talking about qualified immunity. let's see what happens. it looks as if we will see the senate bill by wednesday out of washington. meameanwhile, this morning, hern new york city, there is a little give and take between the governor and the mayor. keep in mind, here in new york, it was just one week ago today that they finally got to phase 1. and the weather has been really nice. and there have been a lot of people out on the streets not social distancing arranged the bars and clubs and things like that and out at the harpootlians as well. so yesterday, the governor made it very clear unless people
3:09 am
start to social distance and keep their distance, even though the bars have apparently chalked the streets so the people know how far 6 feet is so they can stand apart. the governor says he might shut down new york city again. here is he in the state capitol. >> i am warning today, in a nice way, consequences of your actions. we have 25,000 complaints statewide. i'm not going to turn a blind eye to them. if we have to close, then people are going to hold you accountable. i'm going to reverse it in those areas that are not in compliance with the rules. and i'm going to reverse it in those areas where those local governments did not comply with the law. steve: you know what? with the nice weather it's not just here in new york and out in
3:10 am
thhankts. i was reading they are having a problem in nashville as well. people are way too close and people in authority jobs go, look, we waited too long to get to this stage, we don't want to undo what we have done for so long. ainsley. ainsley: there are about 18 states seeing notable increases in their numbers. keep in mind more people are getting tested now. getting antibody test and test if they have coast and if they do those numbers will go up. there is testing available. have to factor in that in to. have to factor whether there are more deaths in these states. avenue a and first avenue. saint marks place. a lot of articles about what was happening there hundreds of people gathered outside of the restaurants drinking on the streets and buses and cars could not get through because there were so many people down there not wearing face masks. and what's happening in new york threstaurants and bars are.
3:11 am
they can stand outside, pick up, deliveries that kind of thing. when cuomo said listen if you don't get your act together new york and hamptons, we could shut you back down. the mayor had this to say. he said we have social distancing ambassadors out all weekend districts masks and encouraging people to disperse after making their purchases. these businesses are allowed to be open per the governor's guidelines and we don't believe imprisoning people or taking away their livelihood is the answer. brian? brian: who is this guy think he is? this governor, is he our parent? mr. tough guy, why don't you crack down on some of the protesters that destroyed the city, millions of dollars of damages. all you are doing is make sure you get tested. he standards where you are coming from. as opposed to new yorker horse abide by the law. who do what they are supposed to do and for the last 100 plus
3:12 am
days have been locked up and told you can't go out to eat. you can't buy a set of cleats. you can't go to a sports store or you can't get a hallmark card but can you buy a lottery ticket and get liquor. make sure you don't eat out. 100 plus days with the numbers on all-time low he ends by saying i'm warning you. i'm going to come down and crack down. you know what? mr. tough guy, crack down on all those protesters that wreaked havoc in mangts, in brooklyn and in queens. when you have them with the same standards that you have with lawbz who decide they just want to hang out and socialize for a second after 100 plus days locked up in quarantine who were told you can walk on a beach but you can't swim on a beach. you can't sit on a beach but you can walk through a beach. now you are going to crack down on this? this guy is so full of himself, he has to reign himself. in and even the mayor of new york city couldn't even tolerate it. and by the way these two don't get along it hurts all of new
3:13 am
york. because they contradict each other coconstantly and getting s from the media. steve: what we heard from the cdc and dr. fauci and dr. birx and everybody else. until there is a virus vaccine, have you got to social distance. have you got to keep your distance. when you are around a lot of people have you got to wear a mask. what's going to be interesting about this coming weekend when the president has his first rally since the lockdown out in tulsa where, according to brad parscale they have 800,000 responses. people registering to show up at that event. th the venue only holds 19,000 people. how many of those people have r. going to be wearing masks on saturday? stay tuned for that 6:13 in new york city. somewhere in the building that i'm finally back in is jillian. jillian: i'm upstairs one floor above you. good morning to you guys. let's begin right now with a fox news alert. a united states air force plane has crashed into the sea off the coast of england.
3:14 am
there is no word on the pilot's status. the air force says the crash happened during a routine training mission. we will bring you the very latest details as soon as we get them. for four we have another fox news alert. paul, the former u.s. marine accused of being a u.s. spy by russia is sentenced to 16 years in prison. a moscow court coming down with the decision overnight. russia claims he was caught red handed carrying a flash drive with classified information. he says he was set up. chaz on or about chuck confusion growing within the sixth block seized by seattle protesters. some will capitol hill organized protest or chop instead of challenge, capitol hill autonomous zone. >> can i tell you we want to move it forward as quickly and fixture liver as possible. that we don't want -- you don't
3:15 am
want anyone there to be harmed. we don't want this to be something that devolves into a force situation. jillian: meanwhile president trump slamming the media coverage of zone. does anyones in the how little discussed in the media. think is done on purpose they know how bad there weakness and ineptitude play politically. jill only one thousand people, only military members and families were allowed at homestead, florida. mother nature not really welcoming. storms delaying the race four times. most fans were gone when denny hamlin took the checkered flag. >> denny hamlin, 40th career win at homestead, miami speedway. >> 40th year win and third of the season. look at your headlines. send it back to you.
3:16 am
jillian: it good for him. thank you so much, jillian. with america reopening. larry kudlow says unemployment check may not be a good idea. >> is it in effect a disincentive paying people not to work. better than their salaries would get. jillian: is he right? charles payne is on deck, coming up. i wanted more from my copd medicine, that's why i've got the power of 1,2,3 medicines with trelegy.

3:20 am
steve: today a dozen states easing more lockdown restrictions. arkansas, for example, moving into phase 2 of its reopening while new hampshire just now seeing its stay-at-home order expiring. white house economic advisor larry kudlow, that guy right, there had this to say about
3:21 am
incentivizing the process of getting back to, woman of achievement. >> almost all bizs on both sides of the i'll or mostly both sides of the aisle understands that the 600 plus up that's above the state unemployment defendants that they will continue to receive is, in effect a disincentive. we are paying people not to work. it's better than their salaries would get. steve: joining us to react to that is charles payne. host of making money on fox business. charles, this is a predicament for a lot of employees it's like okay, the boss wants me to go back to work, but i'm making more with this additional unemployment that's going to expire at the end of july so why bother? >> well, and you know, it's not completely a surprise. if you remember in the great recession, it wasn't extra money but it was extra time. typically the 26 weeks for many states ended up being 9 99 week.
3:22 am
done a tremendous amount of research on this. increased the duration of unemployment by 7%. kept the unemployment rate elevated at levels it shouldn't have been at. here's the thing. one thing that we don't talk about a lot in this country when it comes to jobs is how many people are in our labor force? how many people are actively looking for a job? one of the most impressive things about the recent economy before coronavirus is in a three year period. 5 million people came back to the labor force as much as the prior 10 years. and that was what was propelling us. if you have people in the labor force getting jobs that raises the tax revenue. you don't have to raise taxes on people it. helps everyone in society rather than a society that is looking to find money n. odd places. it's hurting small businesses more than anyone else right now. that's the key part of this dilemma. steve: it is. my sister faces dilemma. because she was on unemployment. and she loved getting the extra 600 bucks.
3:23 am
but then like a week later her boss called her back and said time to go back to work. you know, you decide do i want the extra money or that i would take through the end of july or do i want to make sure that i go back to work so that i have a job waiting for me after that $600 goes away. >> a lot of people particularly if you are not making a lot of money figure hey, you know, those kind of jobs will be around. they know they necessarily won't be around if you look at where all the carnage has been. most of the carnage has been in lower paying jobs. incentive to keep it if someone is offering it to you. in the meantime what's really amazing a lot of plans on washington, d.c. paying people to come back to work. luring them back. in senator portman has talked about $155 a week un. kevin brady $1,200. of the idea that we have to pay people a lot of money to come back to work is something i
3:24 am
don't think we ever thought we would see. we created a frankenstein's monster with that extra 600 bucks. believe me, it was needed at that moment. no doubt about it. the consequences of it now have to be dealt with. steve: so let me get this straight, charles, people in washington wants to give you money for not working and give you money for working. where is this money coming from? [laughter] >> you might be checking your pay stub. you might have a little less in your paycheck. the bottom line though here is it's such a unique situation. we want people to be able to survive while they are looking for a job. no one is talking about cutting out unemployment. just thought amount that they went to. that 600 bucks is a major disincentive and lots of people are making a lot more money by not working. steve: all right. you were working every day on fox business and here on the channel. charles, thank you very much. see you later. >> you got it. steve: straight ahead on this monday morning. one company taking a stand to

3:39 am
tased. >> taser. brian: rayshard brooks was shot twice in the back in a parking lot after that chase you just saw. medical examiner is ruling his death a homicide. >> meanwhile the fulton county district attorney says the officer who fired those fatal shots could face murder charges. they will figure that out by wednesday. investigators are now searching for the arsonist who set the wendy's that this happened at on fire during saturday's protest. it is about 20 minutes before the top of the hour. let's bring in dan bongino, former fox news contributor. new york city officer and secret service agent as well. dan, it's troubling because when you look at all the video. you see that one image where it appears mr. brooks turns around and aims the taser in the direction of the officers. and the question is, what should a police officer do in that situation?
3:40 am
it's complicated. >> steve, i have been asking this question all weekend. if you are pretending this is a black or white use of force scenario. officer was bad and subject was good in some respect, then i'm really sorry. but you should refrain from commenting. because that's not at all what happened here. listen, it's a tragedy the man died. nobody wants that can we just be clear on that? nobody. i'm tired of being put in boxes. what did you want the man to die? , not. don't be stupid. don't talk like that. it's not helping. live in a time where the temperature is never coming down at all. i was discussing this with one of our producers. i know you are not supposed to say that but i was. the temperature doesn't come down, steve it. doesn't come down in culture and society. people want to inflame the situation rather than look at it reasonably. you ask the key question i have been asking all weekend on the nets work. if you are a police officer trained in the use of force continuum. what do you do? you have a man alleged to be intoxicated who is behind the wheel of a car blocking the window in a wendy's.
3:41 am
the wendy's call, steve, these officers didn't show up because they they had nothing to do or wanted a burger. they showed up because wendy's called the police. do you not show up? now that you have shown up the man take as breathalyzer. it's alleged the man was drunk. what do you do then? let him get back behind the wheel? okay, obviously now. now you have to arrest him. the man doesn't wants to be arrested. he via lengths a. tacks the police officers on video. what do you do now? let him beat the ♪ out of you until you are dead or beat the ♪ out of you. he takes your taser and runs away. continues to stick the taser point it at your face and discharge it. what do you do then? you just let him go? i don't understand what people who are inflaming rather than trying to help the situation wanted these officers to do here. ainsley: dan, what would you have done in this situation? i heard over the weekend a lot of people talking about firing shots in a parking lot where there are a lot of people.
3:42 am
there were a lot of cars in the line. also the guy did take the police officer's taser. and then the shots in the back. the guy is running away. >> well, running away is candidly irrelevant on this. running away when you are not a threat. don't have a weapon, there is no evidence you had a weapon is one thing. running away when you violently attacked a police officer, stole one of his weapons and discharged the weapon at the police officer is an entirely different scenario. ainsley, there is a lot of confusion out there. and it really candidly bothers me when people talk about this and don't understand basic use of force rules. the use of force rules do not dictate anywhere that there has to be a deadly threat to someone else. there has to be a threat of serious physical injury or death for you to use di deadly force. a police officer witnessing someone attacking someone else with a bat or firing a taser in their face doesn't have to say well, i have to use an equal amount of force, meaning i have to get my bought or i have to hit him with my taser.
3:43 am
that he was not the way use of force works. i know it's uncomfortable for people to hear. but what would i do candidly? not much different. and i know that's painful and people say oh my gosh, maybe you could have shot him in the legs, that's not how police officers are trained. that is not how -- trained to stop a scenario with their firearm. they are not trained to kill. that's a myth. they are trained to stop. when you fire your weapon god forbid you fire it center mass. most likelihood of engaging with the target center mass and not someone else in the parking lot. all the monday morning quarterbacks here they still have not explained what they would do when someone turns around who has violently attacked you pointed a weapon in your face at point blank range. none of them have explained what they're going to do. take the taser to the face? i mean. so commentary here is candidly juvenile. brian: i think we can agree on this. they fired the police chief. they fired the cop.
3:44 am
you can't rush into this. the cop deserves at least an investigation. you can't say i fear an uprising and mass protest again so i have to rush the cop and not give him the due process. i think that is safe to say. let's fast forward a little bit to the autonomous zone that continues to thrive in seattle. they stopped them as they started to spring up in other cities, thankfully. the seattle's police chief carmen best who flat out said it was not my decision to abandon the precinct said this yesterday. >> i believe especially after i was at a march yesterday or the day before yesterday with black lives matter and i was looking at the 60,000 people that were there. signs, saying, you know, defund the police. stop police brutality. you know, no qualified immunity. and there was thousands of people carin carrying those parr signs i realized a moment
3:45 am
epiphany pivotal moment in history we are going to move in a different direction and policing will never be the same as it was before. brian: i'm not sure what that means, bongino? >> i can't believe where we're right now that in the united states of america we are having conversations about defunding the police, about a group of protesters who have taken over an area of a small city and where in america if you dare to say something so uncontroversial as all lives matter your stigmatized as some kind of a racist? think about, this guys. where are we right now? you have a bunch of protesters who have taken over a small city and we're wondering what to do? is this insane? what comes next the guillotine inside there? this is really insane. somebody has got to do something. i'll telling you, too. one more thing i know -- this fight is coming to your front door, to every single person watching. i'm not kidding. something happened this week at
3:46 am
my house that has never been -- shaken me to the core. not violent. everybody is okay. i don't want to be dramatic it. shook me. my kids aren't even being left out of this. you are going to have to pick a damn side. there is a right side to this and wrong side to this. right side is real authentic justice. not street justifiable. not burning down the damn end withy's. not taking over a small town. and not crapping on people because they believe every life in this country matters. everyone is going to have to take a stand. you cannot sit this one out anymore. everyone has got to stand up and do the right thing. this fight, i promise you, is coming to your front door. steve: dan bongino is joining us today from down in florida. dan, thank you very much. >> thanks, guys. steve: 13 minutes now before the top of the hour. jillian joins us from the hezbollah mean level. jillian: good morning. a father is charged with second degree murder after to you with young children found dead in his truck. justin dennis telling oklahoma police he fell asleep for five

ainsley: new concerns this morning as several states report growing coronavirus cases. texas marked third straight day of record hospitalizations and florida where new cases topped 2,000 for two days in a row. here to break it all down for us is the author of "make america healthy again" dr. nicole saphier. >> good morning, ainsley. ainsley: it could be scary when people see these numbers. what is your take on this? >> so i want to remind people right now that this is still the first weave o wave. it started in the northeast where we had a drastic rise of cases. enough to we are seeing that initial wave hit other states as well. we are still over 20,000 new case as day. that number has been pretty steady since the end of march. so although in the northeast we are seeing a drastically reduced amount of new cases, throughout the country that's where you are
3:54 am
starting to see the rise again. this is really their initial rise. and it's not that -- it's not so confusing as to why. think about in march it was very cold here in the northeast. we were all bundled inside. we were all congregated in same paces. now as janis mentioned with the rain in the carolinas and sweltering heat in the southwest people are indoors. wwe will start to see increasing cases throughout the state especially where we lack social distancing and stay-at-home orders. ainsley: would another lockdown be helpful? >> well, to be honest ainsley, i don't think at this point i don't think americans are really open to the idea of another lockdown. that's likely because the rollout didn't go over that well in the first place. yes, in the northeast we had a large amount of cases. we had overwhelmed hospital systems so we needed those stay-at-home orders here in the northeast. perhaps the rest of the country shouldn't have been kept in that umbrella as well. because now you are having people tired of these stay-at-home orders maybe didn't
3:55 am
need them in march, in april, and rather now is the time that they should be practicing social distancing. the good thing is, ainsley we know a lot more about this virus now than we did a couple months ago. we know how to increase transmiivelt from. this we know we need to limit the amount of people indoors. we know if you cannot maintain some sort of distance between people you should consider wearing a of course that. all of these waves can lessen the vulnerability. if you live in multi-generational home. if have you elderly family mexico. it is still important to keep them safe and try to limit their physical interaction with as many people as possible. ainsley: are we seeing new cases in many of these states because there is more testing? >> absolutely u. will have an increase numbers of new case because of increase testing. however, specifically, in arizona, the increase percent positive are also on the rise and so that's what we are looking at. how many people tested are actually positive and before the
3:56 am
stay-at-home orders were lifted and especially in arizona it was hovering about 5%. now they're up to 12%. we also know that the hospital system is seeing drastic increase rise of people needing to be hospitalized. increased testing does increase cases. there is evidence of increased transmiivelt happening in certain states as well which is why we need to keep an eye on it. ainsley: absolutely. thanks, dr. saphier, great to see you. >> thanks, ainsley. ainsley: still ahead michael waltz and mike huckabee. stay with us. because it's the right thing to do. we're also giving payment relief options to eligible members so they can take care of things like groceries before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills. right now is the time to take care of what matters most. like we've done together, so many times before. discover all the ways we're helping members

[gun tire] brian: ray shard brooks was shot in the back after a scuffle with law enforcement you just saw it. ruling ray shard brooks' death a homicide. >> the officer who fired those
4:01 am
fired those fatal shots could actually face murder charges. jonathan serrie live in atlanta as the city's mayor sounds off on the unrest when will we find out if they decide to charge that particular officer? >> district attorney says that he expects to make a decision probably by midweek whether any charges will be filed in this case. here at our live shot even at this early hour can you see people already gathering in the parking lot of this wendy's which has become a temporary shrine. this is where the shooting went down on friday. a shooting that the medical examiner has ruled a homicide an autopsy revealed 27-year-old ray shard brooks had two gunshot wounds to the back that caused oregon failure due to blood loss. during the scuffle brooks grabbed an officer's taser and pointed it at him during the brief foot chase and that's when the officer shot him. officer garrett resolve was terminated immediately and fellow officer devin bronson

placed on administrative duty. the d.a. session he is still gathering evidence and conducting interviews before making a decision on charges at recent town hall forum. atlanta's mayor expressed her frustration over the incident and others like it. take a listen. >> we have implicit bias training in this city. we require people to go to the national center for civil and human rights. we have housing for our police officers in many of our communities in which they are serving in. but, and still, it's not enough. >> o'er the weekend arsonist set fire to the wendy's where brooks was shot. some people protesting in the street. firefighters were unable to reach the building in time to save it. atlanta crime stoppers is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an indictment in this fire. back to you guys. ainsley: all right. thank you, jonathan. calls to defund the police growing even loud they're
4:03 am
morning for the unrest in atlanta. not all democrats are on board, kristin fisher joins us live from the white house as discussions of police reform take center stage. kristin? >> hey, good morning, ainsley. well, senate republicans are planning to put forward their police reform proposal likely on wednesday. it's an effort that's being led by republican senator tim scott that bill would likely include things like increasing police training. expanding information sharing on case of officer-involved violence. and a mechanism that would make it easier to remove officers who have a pattern of misbehavior. >> so 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 will find that i'm not sure it's qualified immunity it. seems like it won't be destinks. i hope we won't let partisanship get in the way. >> now, democrats have put forward their own proposal, which would go even further by
4:04 am
banning choke holds, eliminating the use of no knock warrants in drug cases and ending qualified immunity which makes it more difficult for officers to be sued for using excessive force. but the democratic leadership says that defunding police departments is not on the table. >> nobody is going to defund the police. we can restructure the police forces. the fact of the matter is, the police have a role to play. what we have got to do is make sure that that role is one that meets the times. >> as for president trump, he suggested last week that an executive order on police reforms is in the works but exactly what that would include is still under wraps. brian, ainsley and steve. brian: all right, kristin, thanks so much. think about this. james clyburn doesn't feel they should be defunding the police. many others don't feel.
4:05 am
it doesn't mean all democrats feel that way. there are rising stars ilhan omar says you have to dismantle the police corrupt to the core. alexandria ocasio-cortez both plied a major role. joe biden listens to what they say. already responded to what he has asked him to do. this you can't say this is the democrats. they have got to work out this messaging because clearly they're on different pages. now, already the message is getting to a lot of cops. we know the nypd. there is rumors that a lot going to resign. minneapolis, seven already resigned in two weeks. is that what you want? cops just saying this is not worth it. dan bongino weighed in on this whole trend. >> i can't believe where we are right now that in the united states of america, we're having conversations about defunding the police, about a group of protesters who have taken over an area of a small city, and where in america if you dare, -- if you dare to say something so
4:06 am
uncontroversial as all lives matter you're stigmatize you had as some kind of a racist? think about this, guys? where are we right now? you have a bunch of protesters who have taken over a small city. and we're wondering what to do? is this insane? brian: they tried to do it and create this autonomous zones in portland and nashville and chicago, and ashville, i should say, and police acted quickly. right now we saw a minneapolis precinct go up in flames. and then we saw one taken over voluntarily as seattle was told by their politicians just to abandon it. so there really is a since of possible lawlessness out there, steever. steve: it's just complicated messaging to your point a moment ago, brian, where if they say defund the police, if you don't really mean defund the police then say, you know, we're going to reform the police, but instead that defund thing is out there, and then you have got
4:07 am
that zone out there in seattle as well where obviously the mayor has made a business decision. the police -- i think you would say it's lightly patrolled just on the outside. no police on the inside. and who knows where it's going to go from here. regarding the republicans and their proposal that's going to come out in the senate on wednesday though, you know, there are a million things being talked about right now. it will be interesting to see whether or not there is any sort of restrictions on choke holds because right now, according to "the washington post," ainsley, it does not sound like that would be part of the legislation. ainsley: they are talking about choke holds. we will see if that's in the legislation. creating national baited that base of excessive force incidents so that we can see the records of these police officers. many of these budgets are already going to get cut. look at new york city. i'm sure the budget for the police department as well as other government offices are going to get cut because we have lost so much money in some of
4:08 am
these big cities because of covid. larry kudlow was talking about covid in the recovery. a lot of people out there saying predicting a less rapid recovery. more like a checkmark instead of a v. but larry kudlow was on with marie over the weekend. he is our national economic council director. is he calling that v shape recovery. listen to this. >> 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. business applications now business applications are roaring. i think we are offer to the races in what will be a very strong v shaped recovery. ainsley: he says unemployment insurance claims down for 10 straight weeks and may jobs numbers were better than expected, brian. brian: yeah. absolutely. so, we also know when it comes to trade we are picking up again. when it comes to productivity, things are pointing in the right directions. and we also saw some people over the weekend as we watched the sunday shows most people thought
4:09 am
that the worse is over in terms unemployment. the problem is you get that extra $600 and maybe the democrats' heart was in the right place. but there is no incentive for people to get off between unemployment insurance and the extra 600 bucks set to evaporate the end of july. people are saying hey, i'm better off not working. charles payne weighed in earlier. >> one thing that we don't talk about a lot in this country when it comes to jobs is how many people are in our labor force? how many people are actively looking for a job? and i have got to tell you one of the most impressive things about the recent economy before coronavirus is in a three year period, 5 million people came back to the labor force as much as the prior 10 years. that was what was propelling us. if you have people in the labor force and getting jobs that raises the tax revenue. you don't have to raise taxes on people. it helps everyone in society rather than a society that is looking to find money in odd
4:10 am
places. brian: just a quick thing on this. from state to state, everyone has their own challenges. i get it. when you have a state like vermont where almost no case but yet not even opening up. same thing with maine, things are in reverse but they can't stand up their economy. have you got to wonder in pennsylvania and other places and michigan if they are saying hey, i just want a president biden. i want to wait this out. and the last thing i want to do is give donald trump a reversal on the economy. what they should realize is it's the country they should be for. the people put them in office they should be for not for their party, steve. steve: so many people are trying to figure out where we go from here and that's why when ainsley was talking to dr. saphier a little while ago. are the numbers of cases going up? if so, what's the problem? everybody says you still have to social distance for a while. so let's see where it goes from there. meanwhile, on sunday morning futures yesterday, rick grenell
4:11 am
who had been the ambassador to germany and the acting director of national intelligence, who did release a number of documents over the last couple of months before he stepped aside, he was on with marie yesterday and talked a little bit about how when you look at how the administration went in to this russia probe, there were indications that not everything was above board and, yet, they kept that from the public. here's rick. >> russian investigation had all sorts of red flags from the beginning. and when you look at the transcripts. when you look at the declassified footnotes from some of the investigations, it's clear, marie, that there were multiple people from multiple agencies that were raising red flags; however, what was really sad to me is those red flags and those voices were pushed aside, classified, and never shown to
4:12 am
the public. what i wanted to do was be transparent. transparency is never political. transparency is what the american people demand and it's what washington, d.c. is very uncomfortable with. steve: ainsley, one of the things he did for transparency after hearing adam schiff for years talk about how i have got evidence that there was collusion, he, ric grenell got adam schiff to release 53 witness interviews that they conducted in the house. not a single member of the obama administration ever said there was any evidence of collusion between the russians and the trump campaign. ainsley: you are right. 12 minutes after the top of the hour. hand it over to jillian in our studio. she has said lines for us. jillian: united states air force plane went down in the sea off the coast of england.
4:13 am
search and rescue teams are at the crash site right now keep you updated. paul wheelen the former u.s. marine being accuse you had of being a spy in russia asentenced to 16 years in driven. russia claims he was caught red-handed carrying a flash drive with classified information. wheelen says he was set up. seven minneapolis police officers have quit amid protests over george floyd's death. at least seven others in the process of leaving the force. there the group saying there is a lack of support from the department and city leaders. they're also upset with mayor jacob frey's move to abandon a precinct which rioters then set on fire. this game show host is ready to get back to work after quarantine is over. who is alex trebek. jearpgd out of new episodes taped before the shutdown in march. a spokesperson says trebek wants it to be one of the first shows back in production. for now reruns will air until

steve: well, it has been about a month since florida started its phased reopening of the state. now they are seeing a slight uptick in cases. joining us live from jacksonville, florida republican congressman colonel michael
4:19 am
waltz. colonel, good morning to you. >> hey. good to see you. steve: i have been reading the number of cases uptick in, i think palm beach county and one other county as well. but governor desantis on friday said but when you look at hospitalizations, miami-dade down 13%. he said, on friday and in jacksonville where you are hospitalizations are down 50%. >> that's really the number to focus on, hospitalizations and the death rate. the mainstream media is breathlessly reporting on numbers of cases but a number of reasons for that i know crease. mainly increased testing. i'm focused on hospitalizations. i'm focused on death rate and, the other thing the media does is they treat all of florida like it's south florida. and since this entire pandemic south florida has had about five times the deaths rate sadly of north florida. completely different experience up herish thing we have to
4:20 am
remember the goal post. the goal of the shut down flatten the curve. open up hospital capacity and to get that ppe and to get that other equipment in place. that is absolutely in place now. and we just cannot go back to anotheshutdown. steve: sure in the beginning more masks and ventilators and testing and it all came and now here we are. where now they are talking about and it sounds like it's a done deal. the republican national convention is going to be in jackson. it's moving from flourng simply because the governor of north carolina said at that stage, can i ♪ promise you, republicans, that all those people in the big room is safe apparently it's safe in florida, right? >> the other thing that we have, steve, you know, from a couple of months ago was, we have a lot more data and we have a lot better understanding of you who this virus spreads. no thanks to the chinese, by the
4:21 am
way. the chinese communist party which we didn't have back then. we do have now. and just look how far we have come in the last few months. and this is another few months down the road. so, look, this whole thing was -- this was really a team effort had when we saw that the president was, you know, wasn't pleased with how things were going in north carolina. he was afraid politics would come into this in terms of them dragging their feet to allow him and the republican national party to have a real convention. so i mean the governor weighed. in the mayor was critical. a number of us weighed in and i want to give full credit to ronna mcdaniel the head of the rnc for seeing my hometown for what it is amazing city. the business community needs this shot in the arm. and they are ready to roll out the red carpeting. we couldn't be more excited to have the convention here. steve: we hope everybody will be safe covid wise at that stage which is still about two months from right now.
4:22 am
at the end of last week, congressman it. sounded like a lot of the stuff was going to happen in charlotte and just the big balloon drop was going to be in jacksonville. that's not the case, is it? >> yeah. my understanding is there will be a small portion of the convention in charlotte for a number of legal reasons. but the vast majority will be here in jacksonville. i think some of that is still being worked out. the vice president, the president, a lot of committee work will be done here in jacksonville over multiple days. and i do think we can walk and chew gum. we can do this safely. we can -- i think you are going to see more hand washing stations then you would see in a fine french restaurant. you will see gop hand sanitizer everywhere. just like the businesses i was just in over this past weekend. none of them want any of their clients or any of their employees to get sick. we don't want anyone either. we can't just get to a total shutdown and that's what i think
4:23 am
the left want us to do through november. >> i'm sure you saw the surgeon general yesterday say that essentially a lot of people don't want to wear the mask but he said you actually have more freedom and go more places if you have the mask. you were talking about more rnc hand sanitizer, what about maga masks and things like that coming up in jacksonville? >> i think when you are in really tight places, elevators, small rooms, and for people who have underlying conditions that makes sense in a wide open convention space or stadiums or others, look, i was just at the trump boat parade over the weekend. and at other events. i think it's acceptable and okay. i think the mask has taken on this politicized meaning in and of itself. but when you are in wide open spaces and healthy young person or adult, look, i think we will do what makes sense from a common sense standpoint.
4:24 am
steve: thank you very much, congressman, for joining us from jacksonville today. >> we're excited. thank you so much. steve: i can tell. thank you, sir. 7:24 here in new york city. meanwhile unrest growing in atlanta after police shot and killed a man who dragged an officer's taser and ran off with it. but most police training considers that a deadly force scenario. we have got a law enforcement panel to discuss what happened down in atlanta. and you will see that next.
4:25 am
4:26 am
4:27 am
4:28 am
ainsley: we are back with a fox news alert. tensions as a police officer kills a black man who grabbed run one of his tasers. debate among deadly force. law enforcement panel is here to
4:29 am
discuss this. former tulsa police officer dianna muller former nypd detective dr. oscar odom and fraternal order of police rob priode. good morning to you all. >> good morning. ainsley: good morning. diana, i will start with you, the medical examiner says homicide. the mayor is -- my question is, is there a rush to judgment in this or should we let this the investigation just play itself the? >> well, that's a great question. i think you are absolutely correct it. does seem that there is a rush to judgment. and we really need to remember that there -- when we use of force. we have to see things as they were at the time. we can't use based on the supreme court ruling in graham v. conner. it does seem like a knee jerk reaction on their part. and that we should really let the investigation play out. and look at things how the
4:30 am
officers look at things when they make those decisions. ainsley: dr. odom to you rush to judgment let this play out or see what the investigators find? >> i would say play out and see what the investigation brings forth. there are so many different angles in which you can look at this case. if i recall,first of all, you never monday morning quarterback an officer's decision. you can't do it. then, you have to take a methodical approach to look at certain things taking place. say, for example, in georgia, in their laws they have two type of stun guns. one is called contact and one is projectile used by police officer. the one with the projectile is considered a weapon and requires a pistol license in order to get it. so, therefore, you have to begin to put that inside the equation. and then you look at the contact in the beginning where you look at and see the fact that there
4:31 am
was resisting arrest. the stun gun was taken from the officer and fired at the officer. you have to take all of that too concern, also. i think the issue that may be causing concern is the video footage because there is a lot of video footage out there foodio footage out there goes before that the incident the guy is saying can i walk home. i know i'm this or whatever like this. so people are boying to look at the angle if the police officer let him walk home and go home from there, he admitted that he is possibly intoxicated or whatever like this, then that would have been it. but then, after did you go forward and went forward with the test. then that's when everything evolved and that's when a split second decision come in. because if they had clear cut, they would have had already -- but they don't. they are weighing their options now. ainsley: rob, if a somebody takes your taser flu a deadly
4:32 am
force scenario at that point? >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, i have watched this video several times. i have talked to my cohorts from all around the nation. i taught the use of force experts around the nation to see if there was something, if this incidents that i was missing you are absolutely right with the current training that we have and can i say for across the country. most agencies this would be a deadly force encounter because of the the incapacitating capabilities of the taser. officers, we can look through history and see how many officers in policing history have been killed when they were disarmed of their own firearm. and when a taser is used against officers, it has that capability. it has that capability of incapacitating an officer and having them disarmed and killed
4:33 am
with their firearm. and so i don't know of many agencies that this wouldn't be a deadly force encounter. it will be interesting to see what comes out of the investigation in regards to whether policies were met or not. but on first value, just looking at the video, i don't see how this would not meet a deadly force encounter by most agency standards. >> rob, why was he fired? >> that's a great question. i think that's a great question for the police chief and the mayor. you know, i certainly was not a part of those conversations. but, it would appear that perhaps a due process was not followed for those officers. and i think there might have been a quick reaction here. but that's my opinion looking from the outside. in who knows. that's a great question. ainsley: diana, what are misconceptions when it comes to lawmakers or media about
4:34 am
policing? >> well, i think one of the big things is people don't understand that we don't want. this we don't want to have to use deadly force ever. i was lucky enough in 23 years to never have to do that. so it's not something that we get up and wants to take someone's life make a decision to do it. lack of responsibility. everybody wants to look at the police officers and what they did wrong. and this days, case, i can't see where he has done anything wrong. he has already been fired. there is a rush-to-judgment and i feel like right now there is mob mentality of hate against the police which isn't justified. one of the things i would suggest take how you want to be treated and police encounters
4:35 am
are going to be just fine. ainsley: would you have done anything differently? you are an nypd. >> i don't monday morning quarterback. not income that situation, i know that from based on what i have seen i would have had the opportunity to use deadly physical force, i force, i know that based off the fact that it was a projectile. and for me take into consideration that somebody is running away from me and their back is towards me. so, for me in my monday morning quarterback thing, i would say i would not have shot because of that but i know that i had the opportunity, too pause of the fact that was a weapon fired at me that had a projectile but then other -- i can't monday morning quarterback, but for me i would have said looking at my position now that he is running away from me. i have his vehicle. he is intoxicated.
4:36 am
those factors would weigh in for me. everybody is different when we look at these situations. but i know, yes, did i have the opportunity to respond with deadly physical force because it was a stun gun with a projectile and that opportunity would have been available. >> rob, i watched all, i think, 42 minutes of the video on youtube. and the first officer was so nice to the young man. the outcome man was so nice to the officer. he kept saying my sister lives right around the corner. so you think gosh, i wish they would have let him walk home or get his car to his sister. at the same time, you can't let someone get behind the wheel of a car and there are consequences for that we'll don't know yet if he was intoxicated. they did the breathalyzer but the officers who did that, the second officer who came on the scene who was actually charged with the shooting or fired, i should say. he did breathalyzer we don't know what the results were he didn't say that out loud. when you watch all of this play
4:37 am
out you hate that it ended this way and i wish the guy had not run but at the same time, an officer, i mean, the coroner's report is that the officer the suspect was shot in his back. did you watch the whole thing? >> i watched a great portion of it and shooting portion of it several times. i will tell you nobody can argue that this is a tragedy. it's absolutely a tragedy. somebody lost their dad and their brother and father. and all of those things. but to identify tell you, i saw the same things that you did in the initial contact. i thought the officers were doing a great job. we have to remember that they weren't out searching for this gentleman. they weren't out trying to harass anybody. they were called to the wendy's on report of intoxicated driver. that's a significant thing. i think our society has said time and time again that it's
4:38 am
important that we enforce dui laws. what we saw on the video officers conducted an investigation. they believe he was intoxicated. and they were going to arrest him for that and one of the things that really stuck out to me is that the officers did not start firing when mr. brooks initially just started running away. ran for a short distance. you can't hear what orders they were giving him. but they did not shoot when he started to run. when the shooting occurred is when he turned around with what they -- who know what is they thought it was. we all know now that it was a taser. and deployed it. that's when they -- when they delivered the deadly force. and so, it's a lose, lose situation really for these guys. if they let this gentleman go and he gets in his car answered kills somebody, then on the hook for that and if they make an arrest, and there is resisting and then this tragedy occurs. i think what we have to discuss
4:39 am
at some point, when this investigation is done, is really we have to are v. a conversation about our community about the importance of complying with officers. had there been no arrest. he had not tried to escape this would never happen and we wouldn't have this tragedy. and when folks resist arrest like this and try to escape, the outcomes are unpredictable. i think we can say that had that not happened, this would have been a safe arrest. ainsley: thank you all for joining us, diana, rob and dr. odom, thanks for joining us. ainsley: elizabeth warren might be on the short list to become joe biden's running mate. guess who doesn't want that ticket? warren's hometown paper. mike huckabee here to sound off coming up next. is a time for action. so, for a second time we're giving members a credit on their auto insurance. because it's the right thing to do. we're also giving payment relief options to eligible members so they can take care of things like groceries

this is a pivotal moment in history. we are going to move in a different direction and policeing will never be the same as it was before. steve: there have you got seattle's police chief calling for negotiations with the occupiers of the police-free zone. carmen best adding she wishes she knew how long this is going to last, ainsley. occupiers seizing six blocks one week ago. the area includes the city's third police precinct. now called chop. capitol hill organized protest, brian. releasing list of demands, free college television, have their own garden so maybe they can live off the land. mike huckabee joins us. fox news contributor. governor, if the police chief doesn't know when it's going to end, how are we supposed to know? >> we are never going to know because the officials who are supposed to stay with the sense of order have allowed this to
4:45 am
degenerate in other chaos. it will last as long as they. turn off the electricity, the water, and gas and jam all of the communication signals coming in and out of there. when these people can't go on social media. when they can't call in for things by way of iphones things come to a grind pretty quick when no supplies can come in and out. what the police and mayor and governor ought to do. if they had any brains at all. any, they would make it so that people who want to get the heck out of there, the law-abiding citizens that are stuck in this incredible hell hole would be allowed to get the heck out. but they are not allowed to. and these people have taken over. this is a hostage situation. and i don't understand why they somehow think that it's the summer of love. no, this is a summer of crime. outright insurrection and crime. and it's going to last as long as these week wus officials in washington state allow it to
4:46 am
happen. steve: it is a summer we are all going to remember for a very long time. steve: joe biden is trying to figure out who vice presidential nominee will be. one of the people on the list is elizabeth warren. hometown paper not crazy about it. headline says elizabeth warren could be the only thing to sink joe biden and then the article goes on to say warren has always been the media's darling in the race and she is likely to hang on as a short list candidate for veep if only to appease her progressive supporters and her media advisors. can pretend to keep the far left in the fold. if biden actually lose loses hid and picks her? then he deserves to lose. what do you say about the herald? >> pretty brutal. one of things i gleaned from it how dishonest elizabeth warren has been about biography.
4:47 am
it's an interesting thing. if they were to be teamed up you would have a presidential candidate who make pick as vice president who can't know the truth and has basically created own biography with a presidential candidate who doesn't remember what the truth is so one who can't tell the truth and the other one who doesn't remember what the truth would be. that would be quite a combo for the democrats if they pick it. ainsley: do you agree with this. the article also states throughout her failed campaign for president, warren failed to draw any moderate or independent voters. >> well, it's very true. in fact, the most significant thing is that in her own home state of massachusetts where she is the sitting senator, usually you get a little bit of a bump because, you know, sort of the root for the home team. not in her case. she came in third in the primary, in her own state. that should have caused her to say, you know, maybe i just need to go home and tend to the home fires because somebody there
4:48 am
doesn't really like me. that was very significant and joe ought to see that and say no, i don't think so. >> joining us from vermont or massachusetts governor huckabee. always strong for us. thank you very much. appreciate it. ainsley: thank you. >> you bet. brian: all right. russia vandals target monuments across the u.s. warning for would be reuters. don't mess with the alamo. texas land commissioner george p. bush already taken action on this. he is here live to talk about it. to help keep cosentyx accessible and affordable. if you have any questions at all, call us, email us, visit us online. we're here to help support you when you need us. take care, and be well. to learn more, call one eight four four cosentyx

brian: protesters targeting monuments and statues. spray painted in chicago. targeted unknown soldier in philadelphia for the revolution. next guest has a message when it comes to texas. don't mess this. don't mess with alamo because they are envined. george p. bush. thanks for joining us. when did you realize thought alamo could be targeted? what have you seen so far? >> days following the george floyd protest san antonio came close to the grounds of the
4:53 am
alamo. police presence. alamo rangers and partnership with the national guard. things were fairly peaceful thereafter. however, earlier in the week we had graffiti defaced with obscene language saturday night elevated threat from antifa among other groups that seek to take down many of these statues and monuments we have seen throughout the country. we responded in kind with the show force to send a very clear message that you don't mess with texas and you don't mess with the alamo. brian: how did you counter that would be attack? >> so, with the show of force, we believe that it kept a little bit of the threat at bay. and it sent a very clear message to folks in the community that peaceful protest is acceptable and it's okay and it's enshrined in our constitution; however, when it comes to trying to rewrite history and tearing down statues in this case the church
4:54 am
and long barrick two of the original 8 buildings from the battle of 1836 and the siege in sasan antonio that is the shrine what we are as texas. it is synonymous with our state and represents the importance of the sacrifice required for freedom and liberty. brian: george, in a family like yours that just bleeds red, white and blue for this country and gives back in so many different ways to many generations, how do you process this war on our history? >> well, i think that there are different ways to teach history. and there is certainly more peaceful ways, whether it's in our schools. whether it's in our households and our players of worship there are more civil ways to deal with the painful episodes of the past whether it is slavery or race issues. but tearing down statues,
4:55 am
defacing historic monuments isn't the way to do it. many monuments could do better perhaps in a museum or educational facilities, but that's not going to solve the problems we see in our streets or in our issues regarding police brutality. that's going to take place through meaningful dialogue among community leadership and our police commissions and our places of worship. and regretfully, folks on the extreme on the other side have chorch to deface these important monuments we have worked very hard to preserve and spend a vast amount of taxpayer expense to make sure that they're around so we can explain to future generations of americans what exactly happened during the battle of the alamo. brian: so you were able to help us out with the fight for texas and the texas fight for freedom with the special we did and have on n. paperback now. could you tell people around the country what the alamo means to texas and the place it has in american history?
4:56 am
>> well, the battle of the alamo, i think is a watershed moment leading and probably one of the most important in american history in the 19th century your book does incredible job. we appreciates you coming down to the grounds of the alamo and explain what the compounds looked like in 1836 and what it looks like now and how we need to do a better job as texans and frankly as americans to preserve that history. so we have undertaken at the land office a five year master planning project of folks that were involved with restoring the u.s. supreme court and the virginia house of commons. brian: yeah. we plan on looking at that again. george p. bush, thanks so much landr commissioner. more "fox & friends" in just a moment. that could help you live longer.

5:01 am
after a struggle with police officers. the medical examiner has ruled that his death is a homicide ainsley. ainsley: yes, the district attorney now says the officer who fired those fatal shots could face murder charges. jonathan siri is live in atlanta as the city mayor sounds off on the unrest. jonathan? reporter: hi there, ainsley. all of the video that you watched on that body cam, it all unfolded in this parking lot and in front of this now-burned wendy's here. its turned into a makeshift shr ine and already early this morning people are beginning to gather around it. the medical examiner has determined this was indeed a homicide and autopsy revealed that 27-year-old rayshard brooks had two gun shot wounds to the back that caused organ failure due to blood loss. police say during the scuffle brooks grabbed an officer's taser and pointed it at the officer and that's when the officer shot him.
5:02 am
the officer was terminated immediately and fellow officer d evon bronson placed on administrative duty. the district attorney expects to make the decision on whether to pursue criminal charges against police, and at a recent town hall forum, atlanta's mayor expressed her frustration over the incident and others like it. take a listen. >> its really been difficult for me to put aside my own anger and sadness during this time, and really be able to articulate what our communities need to hear, because the reality is what can you say? reporter: over the weekend, arsonists set fire to the wendy 's where brooks was shot and there was so many people in the streets protesting firefighters were unable to reach the building in time to save it. coming back to our live shot, you can just see how gutted the interior is, just looking through those windows. atlanta crimestoppers is offer ing a $10,000 reward to anyone coming forward with
5:03 am
information leading to the arrest and indictment of those responsible. back to you guys. brian: jonathan thanks we look forward to finding out what happens later on this week with the officer. meanwhile, let's go out to seattle where the occupiers and the autonomous zone continue to thrive with six blocks of just not open and accessible to anyone except for those who chose to occupy right outside of the precinct. steve: dan springer joins us live from seattle with a list of demands and dan have they chang ed the name of that area? >> they have, steve in fact it used to be the capitol hill autonomous zone, but over the weekend they decided that didn't sound quite right because this isn't really something that they want to take from the city of seattle or the country of the united states, so they changed it to chop, which means the capitol hill occupation protest and you can see that sign here over my shoulder and this is one of the barricaded
5:04 am
entrances to the chop, and you can see it's pretty chill and people are really here as guards to make sure that people don't drive their vehicles in there unless they are approved to be dropping off things and the number of donations has really grown. we see that this has also grown into a pretty large area of tents and we come here we can show you that this is a soccer field, baseball field, and when i was here on friday, there were no tents on the field but now it's lined with tents and back over in the far corner you can see there's a place where people can get food and there's also a port-a-potties and things like that and beyond those tents there's a place where there's a lot more homeless people in tents setting up things like gardens and what have you but the big question we have is when is this going to end or is this going to end because the mayor said last week this could be the summer of love in seattle so we don't really know if they have any plans to stop this but we do know that
5:05 am
the police chief wants it to end at some point she wants to get her officers back in that east precinct and over the weekend she talked about that and maybe why they're being cautious because they don't want this to become a flash point again here is carmen best, the police chief. >> we don't want to, you don't want anyone there to be harmed, we don't want this to be something that evolves into a force situation so we're really trying to take a methodical practical approach to reach a resolution, where everyone gets out of here safely. reporter: but carmen best has a major problem on her hands and that is morale in the police department. i talked to the president of the seattle police officers guild and he told me that 35 officers last week put in their resignation. they are taking early retirement so there's a lot of anti-cop rhetoric on the walls graffiti inside there and they are fed up with the police department and they don't like the optics of them leaving this station, and
5:06 am
so they're leaving in pretty large numbers, so we'll have to see where this goes but as far as being peaceful it really is. there are no problems inside there except when there's someone who comes in with a different viewpoint, maybe the american flag but other than that it's real peaceful and we'll send it back to you live from the chop in seattle. back to you guys. ainsley: all right the chop that's what we call it now thank you so much dan. we apologize if there was some offensive language on some of those signs from the protesters out on the street. i've heard police officers, they're worries about response times if someone needs a police officer within that police-free zone. if they had to go in and rescue someone, it be very difficult, because all the roads are blocked off and it's hard to get around especially during the busy times when those protesters are on the streets. we were asking mike huckabee what he thought about that police-free zone. listen to this. >> the officials who were supposed to stay with a sense of order have allowed this to just
5:07 am
generate into utter chaos so it's going to last as long as they are willing for it to last. why don't they turn off the electricity, the water, the gas and jamaal of the communication signals coming in-n-out of there. when these people can't go on social media, when they can't call in for things, by way of their iphones, things come to a grind pretty quick. brian: in about five other cities they tried to set up an autonomous zone just like that one whatever they want to call it, and the police moved in quickly. they don't want this mess on their hands. these police were forced to let this go by politicians, if that police chief had her way, they would never have given up that precinct. it is a terrible precedent and for those who say democrats don't want to defund the police, someone tell that mayor, someone tell omar and cortez this is on their side and i feel bad for the men and women in blue
quote
5:08 am
who have their integrity called into frey, and i was stunned to see that number, 35 in seattle, eight confirmed in minneapolis just quitting because they don't need this any more. jaron smith joins us now deputy assistant to the president and deputy office to the american innovation, where are we heading with these eight zones is that concerning the president? >> it's certainly something very concerning. i think that we want to get the economy back going and provide opportunities for our vulnerable populations. last week the president announced a four pillar plan that would focus on educational choice, bring in access to capital to minority communities but then also creating healthcare infrastructure with minority-serving institutions and better police community relations. i think that's what we need in order to get our economy back going because most individuals want to get back to work and start building the lives for them and their families. steve: out in seattle,
5:09 am
essentially, they made the police from the chop disappear. elsewhere they want to dismantle it. others say defund, but top democrats realize defunding the police is not a good message , at least that's what house majority whip jim cly bernie sanders burn says. watch this. >> nobody is going to defund the police. we can restructure the police forces, restructure, reimagine policing. that is what we're going to do, but the police have a role to play. what we've got to do is make sure that their role is one that meets the times. one that responds to these communities that they operate in this is a structure that has been developed that we've got to deconstruct, so i wouldn't say defund, deconstruct our policing
5:10 am
steve: ja'ron, it looks as if for some democrats they've got a messaging problem because the talk over the last week or so has been about defunding the police. they don't really mean that. they mean reform but if you mean reform say reform the police rather than defund, right? >> right. i totally agree with that. i think that proof is in the pudding and everything that they're putting out there is speaking to attacking the police president trump's approach is working with the police and the communities to bring them together through community policing, and there's many communities that are violent and we want to quell those violence and also allow for states and peaceful atmosphere and the only way that you can do that is to bring the police and community together and that's what president trump is focused on instead of defunding the police it's the wrong way to go. ainsley: jamie dimon, jaron i hear you how is the president actually doing that he has such an opportunity as the leader of this great country to bring us together and unite for all god's
5:11 am
children and equal. what are his plans to do that to bring his communities together? >> sure, as i mentioned earlier , last week, we had an event in dallas, texas and invited communities leaders, police leaders as well as faith leaders together and talked about our four pillars that would help unite the neighborhoods in the community and this week what we're looking to do is sign an executive order that will be good glue to bring community and police together. again, invest in things like co- responders that would allow for police to do their job but bring in social workers and experts that deal with mental health and issues such as drug addiction, or alcohol addiction , or other issues like homelessness. there's a better way to do policing and we have great examples, you can look at camden new jersey as one of them and we're looking at those examples as ways to bring the police and communities together and that's going to be a strong mark for the president
5:12 am
and for the country. brian: yeah, i guess, but for those who say they're not de funding the police, in la and new york they are already doing it, so we'll see. let's hope law enforcement has the table in these reforms, ja'r on, thanks so much. talk to you soon. let's go over to jillian. you have the other breaking news jillian: that's right good morning we begin with a fox news alert. the united states air force plane has crashed off the coast of england. the f-15 from a british base went down in the north sea during a routine training mission. there is no word on the pilot's status. search and rescue teams are at the crash site right now. >> we have another fox news alert, paul wheeland the former marina caused of being a u.s. spy by russia is sentenced to 16 years in prison. a moscow court coming down with a decision overnight. they claim he was caught red handed carrying a flash drive with classified information. he says he was set up. secretary of state mike pompeo
5:13 am
releasing a statement moments ago calling verdict "outrageous" adding that we have serious concerns that he was deprived of the fair trial guarantees that russia is required to provide him in accordance with his international human rights obligations. >> a dozen states are easing more coronavirus restrictions today. concerns are growing over a possible resurgence as several states are seeing an up-tick in cases. that includes texas which just marked its third straight day of record covid-19 hospitalizations new cases in florida topped 2,000 for the second day in a row. dr. nicole saphier joined us earlier on why a resurgence in cases might not be as bad. >> we know a lot more about this virus now than we did a couple months ago. we know how to decrease transmission from this and we know we need to limit the amount of people indoors and if you can not maintain some sort of distance between people that you should consider wearing a mask. jillian: dr. sapphire adding the continued increase in testing is also contributing
5:14 am
to a rise in cases. >> and fox news.com exclusive, it's quite the birthday present for president trump. his re-election campaign and the rnc bringing in $14 million on sunday. that's the single-best online fundraising day ever. and the excitement building here as well, campaign manager says that 800,000 people have request ed tickets for saturday's rally in tulsa. the arena though holds less less than 20,000 people. those are your headlines i'll send it back to you. steve: i think only 300,000 people live in tulsa so that be a lot if they all showed up all right jillian thank you very much. it's about quarter after the top of the hour here on the east coast. seattle's mayor compared the occupy zone to a block party but what's really going on on the ground? the guy who took that video is going to join us live, coming up
5:15 am
, next.
5:16 am
5:17 am
5:18 am
5:19 am
steve: okay well its been described by some as a block party but chaos briefly erupting over the weekend in seattle's so-called autonomous zone or chop area so what's it really like on the ground? seattle radio host jason rantz who actually took pictures of that altercation. jason good morning to you. tell us about the circumstances regarding what we saw in those images? >> you're basically seeing almost every single day and throughout the evening are various breakouts and sometimes it's clear what's going on. sometimes it gets heated and
5:20 am
they have arguments about what's happening on the ground and in that case it appears that guy had his cell phone stolen which is a weird trend that we've been seeing of people accusing each other of stealing cell phones or actually stealing cell phones so what ended up happening is on stage before a group of african american women were stepping up to talk about their experiences that fight broke out. what was interesting is that the security forces that this street fair/social justice ends up engaging in and they will bump into anybody and try to block people from actually video taping the violence that's happening on the ground. steve: clearly, this is outraged a lot of people across the country that essentially the protesters squeeze the police out so the police at the suggestion of the mayor made a business decision to get out, so it's really kind of law enforcement's light touch, the ultimate light touch where they are on the other side of the gate, right, in case trouble
5:21 am
goes, in case things go south? >> so, i mean that's only partially true. the spv has been advised do not respond to 911 calls inside of this zone, unless there's some kind of mass casualty event. so, in the case of any individual fights they aren't going to respond and keep in mind also within the zone, not only are there businesses but also a couple of apartment complexes, so people are from a public safety perspective people are getting impacted there. steve: well jason we saw the altercation in your video. we seen some of the signs and whatnot. about 20 minutes ago we had dan springer who was live from that area and the images of just one tent right after another, it looked like a campout. who exactly is in there? >> so there's a group of different community activists there, antifa, anarchists and a mix of homeless in that general area you've got a homeless
5:22 am
population that's pretty significant as well and just covering this you can pretty much see the people, we've seen a lot of the same faces at protests before same with antifa and the puget sound john brown corp. for example, is a militant on the antifa security force who actively is saying they are providing the security there so it's a who's who of various activists on the ground that we've seen in the past. steve: you know the mayor has suggested that it could be a summer of love there, meaning this could run right through labor day. how do you, you know, you're on the ground there. you live there. how does this end? >> i fear that it ends by giving into some of the demands of this group and i wouldn't be surprised if they just completely give up the east precinct police station as a community center for them. i know that the spd obviously does not want that to happen, cops as you heard with dan springer, cops are retiring early. cops are putting in their resignation letters to go work at other departments. they feel like they are being completely abandoned by this mayor and they are.
5:23 am
the mayor up to a point was pretty supportive of the cops and efforts they had underway to control some of the rioting and looting that started early on and that of course thankfully has stopped but this lawlessness in capitol hill whether you want to call it chaz or chop is a problem. steve: there you go well he's up early for us and on the radio later today, jason rantz, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: you bet 8:23 here in new york city. from the show "cops" to live pd to paw patrol, cancel culture is now going after police tv shows. adam carolla says that's hollywood in a nutshel today and he will join us live, next. effortless is the lincoln way.

ainsley: fast food chains power ing through the coronavirus pandemic with the help of drive-thrus, but what started as a matter of necessity could become a restaurant revolution. jeff flock from our sister network fox business is live in chicago with those details, hey, jeff. reporter: ainsley, good morning to you. yeah, checking out the drive-thrus today, various ones, and you're right. this is something that i think is going to become a trend, and it's also been a big help to the fast food chains about to visit mcdonald's here in just a moment but first let me show you what the trade publications are saying kind of hard to quantify this but one trade publication saying and i quote them, " drive-thrus have helped fast food chains bolster their sales in recent weeks to the point where many of them are now in full recovery." ainsley: well we just lost jeff 's audio, but we will try to get it back later let's hand it
5:29 am
over to brian in the studio. brian: we will pick him up as he's paying for his drive-thru right after this segment. cancel culture strikes again. protesters outraged over the kids cartoon paw patrol and the fictional law and order character olivia benson. one headline even demands shutdown all police movies and tv shows. they have. here to react is the host of the adam carolla show, author of the brand new book "out tomorrow ", adam, i'm happy for you, but your title and the theme of your bookworks so well but i'm sad for the country first off, on paw patrol where were you when you got the news? >> oh, i remember it like the time i heard about 9/11. thank god, i was around my children. they're teenage now but they remember paw patrol and we got together and just had a group
5:30 am
cry. brian: adam, it's good to know you have a family in the times you need but they also canceled cops, they also canceled livepd. what's happened in this country since when did law enforcement become the bad guys? >> i don't know, since when did pulling down statues and canceling things cure anything? i mean, see i have a problem with it. i'll tell you the problem i have people say well what's wrong? like remember several years ago they wanted to change their name of the professional football team the washington redskin, right? and they wanted to change the name of the atlanta braves, right? you know, so there was a huge uproar about changing the name of the washington football team, the redskins, do you want to know why it ended, why it went away? because they told native americans and they said do you
5:31 am
care about this and they said no we have far bigger problems than that and that's why it went away the thing that worries me is there are problems, the problems to address, tearing down a statue changing the name of the school or military base or boulevard never fixes anything, never helps. brian: so let's get to your book pretty much on the same theme. this is your new book, "i'm your emotional support animal, navigating all woke, no joke culture." how did we get here, being that you'd had a birds eye view from los angeles to see how the water gradually got hotter for the country? >> yeah, i wish it was a birds eye view. i feel more like it was a cat fish's view like down at the bottom of a scummy pond looking up instead of floating over-the-top of it. all roads lead to narcissism. hollywood is filled with
5:32 am
narcissists that's what brings them down. they like to make change, not change that affects them but change that gets them praise, and when they do this sort of virtue signaling, it somehow gets them in a better position for the next cocktail party, so it's a sort of a town of blake make belief like we make things up as we go and now we're making up enemies and it is in touch and intune and on point with the sort of fairytale theme that we do out here anyway. i don't know when it started to become popular to start canceling comedians who make jokes, that's what comedians are here to do. you know what comedians stifeling themselves and thinking before they speak because it's sort of the end of art. you don't want anyone, you don't want any artist to think hmmm, should i make this painting?
5:33 am
might i get into trouble? shall i write this poem? shall i tell this joke? might i get into trouble but the real problem is people started apologizing for doing nothing and once they started apologizing, then the progressive folks are going after them got drunk on that power. think of the power you have when you're asking someone to apologize to you and they're doing it. that's the ultimate power. they got drunk on their own power. people should have never apologized. they kept apologizing that's why it's speeding up. brian: yeah, i mean, don't you think that comedy in all seriousness has an important role in society in pushing the edges and sometimes when they target you it's the funniest you, not you, adam carolla, but you as a person or your background? it doesn't seem like you could do that on stage anymore anywhere. >> yeah, and it makes you really be careful what to ask
5:34 am
for because take colleges just for instance. most comedians, most i know, many of my friends, they're done playing colleges. a whole generation of young kids are going to miss out on the experience of a comedian coming and playing their college many people remember when they were in college 10 years ago or 25 years ago or 40 years ago and a comedian came to college to play. those days are gone. nobody i know will go play a college and then what? what do you get at college? an echo chamber of all your same thoughts and all your same instincts kept away from any controversy or any ideas, and again, joke, of all things, you should never censor jokes. they are jokes. they inherently don't mean anything. brian: adam, i hear you next thing you know those kids that
5:35 am
don't get the comedians are smashing cop cars with their skateboards in the middle of fifth avenue or rodeo drive, which your timing is perfect you were the first podcast and you're now the biggest and the best and this book comes out sadly ahead of its time where your book is going to thrive and define things and give people hope there might be sanity it left in this world, adam carolla , good luck with the big launch tomorrow, i'm sure it's available on amazon because everything is available on amazon. i'm your emotional support animal and it's not me, it's adam. thanks so much. >> thanks brian. brian: all right, meanwhile coming up straight ahead the deadly police shooting in atlanta is sparking a new debate over use of form, former nypd commissioner ray kelly joins us live to discuss that story, still ahead.
5:36 am
among my patients i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. new sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend. woke-up-like-this migraine medicine. the 3:40 mid-shift migraine medicine. it's called ubrelvy. the migraine medicine for anytime, anywhere a migraine attacks without worrying if it's too late or where you happen to be. one dose of ubrelvy can quickly stop a migraine in its tracks within two hours. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. few people had side effects, most common were nausea and tiredness. ubrelvy. the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine.

steve: we're back with a fox news alert. a new wave of protests have erupted nationwide following the death of a black man shot by police in atlanta on friday. >> put your hands behind your back. >> ainsley: rayshard brooks was shot twice in the back in a wendy's parking lot after that struggle with the cops. the medical examiner ruling his death a homicide. brian: the district attorney says the officer who fired those fatal shots could face murder charges. investigators are now searching for the arsonist who set the wendy's on fire during saturdays protest he was wearing a mask. let's bring in a man with as much experience and as much success as anyone in the country , police work that is
5:41 am
commissioner ray kelly. commissioner, from what you see and we see a lot from so many different angles, did that officer make a mistake or do the right thing in shooting rayshard in the back? >> it's more complex than that. there's a supreme court case that prohibits the shooting of fleeing felons, shooting them in the back, unless there's probable cause that shows that they have the ability to use deadly force, or cause serious physical injury. so this case is going to revolve around whether or not the taser that this individual pointed at the police could cause serious physical injury. we're going to see. it is a close case legally in my judgment. steve: ray you were the top cop in new york city for a lot of years. you have a lot of friends who
5:42 am
are still on the force. what do they say about the kind of scrutiny police officers are under right now during this summer of 2020? >> well, everybody has a cell phone in the world. everybody has a cell phone camera, they themselves are wearing cameras, so there's an awful lot of observation going on on what police do and i think they accept that it's part of the job but the world has changed, certainly changed when i was on the streets of new york i think, you know, they're under a lot of pressure. in this city, they certainly don't like mayor deblasio, there's a feeling that he has taken away a lot of their tools and ability to function, ability to protect themselves and protect the people of the city. as a matter of fact he has just decided apparently two days he decided to defund the police to the tune of about $1.1 billion,
5:43 am
and this is what his wife had suggested him doing, without any analysis but he decided he's going to take that money out of the police budget which would translate into about 5,000 fewer cops on the street of new york. now, to me, that's the height of in responsibility, absent any sort of analysis. doesn't hurt the cops. they are going to get paid. it's the poor people in the city who call on police more frequently than other neighborhoods. they're the ones that are going to be hurt, so the whole de funding issue is just part of the world that we find ourselves in these days. ainsley: commissioner, in washington, there's the justice and policing act that our legislators are talking about and the senate gop wants to restrict the police chokeholds in this bill. what other changes should be made? >> i would just point out that
5:44 am
27 years ago, i was a new york city police commissioner for the first time and we ban chokeholds. i think the provisions in the bill are sound. in the senate bill, it does not have a change in qualified immunity. i think that's good as that is eliminated or somehow reduced, it will just mean inaction on the part of the police. that means you're personally liable and they find themselves in court all the time and makes no practical sense to do that but the other changes, better record keeping, certainly as i said, chokeholds, i think they're all acceptable. brian: i think part of it was making public the discipline records of officers. the union hasn't been, are you okay with that? >> well, it was that way up until five years ago in new york city. then a different interpretation
5:45 am
of section 50a came about and for the last five years, the disciplinary records have not been public, so we're just going back five years, i think it's okay there are provisions in there that protect the privacy of police officers as far as their addresses and personal information, but i mean , its happened already, the law has been passed. i think cops can live with it. steve: well you know, commissioner, as you look at the dynamic of the way this is all being reported on tv and people see the snip-its of people being shot and they have in their head, an image of what's going on, is that what goes on on the streets? no, obviously because these are rare occurrences. what sort of misconceptions do we think the average person has about community policing today?
5:46 am
>> i think you're absolutely right. people look at these videos and they think this suspicion is confirmed. this goes on all the time. we just don't see it because there was no video camera there, and these acts of police misconduct, police brutality, are clearly admiration. they don't happen with great frequency but the availability of video cameras which you could argue now is a valuable tool but it makes it look as a disproportion at amount of these and that's simply not the case. i was in the business for a long time. i can tell you that the cops are too smart to engage in brutality , and that's why the actions of the police officer in minneapolis are just mind boggling. horrific event and you have to say what could have possibly
5:47 am
been in his mind? was he deranged at the time? here it is broad daylight and somebody taking his picture, you have the police officers standing there watching it, and yet, the murder of george floyd goes on. so yes, i can understand some people saying a-ha, there it is, this happens with great frequency. it does not by any means. ainsley: commissioner what are you hearing from the police officers in new york, your friends still on the force? i've heard that many of them are already retiring or taking early retirement is that the case? >> well, yeah. there's a lot of people talking about retirement. what's happened of course is the 12 hour tours that police officers are required to work, no days off. they're paid overtime for that and that over time payment can
5:48 am
get factored into your pension, so it may be an incentive to certain police officers depending on where they are in their career, to retire, and i think that's one of the elements that's working now in the department, but they are disgruntled. they feel that they don't have the support of the city hall, and some are definitely looking to leave. brian: i just hope when they do this reform they give law enforcement, someone like you, a seat at the table, so people on the outside don't pretend they know what it's like on the inside. commissioner ray kelly, can't thank you enough for your insight. we'll talk to you again soon, i hope. >> okay, thank you, brian. good to be with you. brian: all right same here. meanwhile straight ahead, atlanta bracing for more unrest over the deadly police shooting of a black man, alvida king joins us with a message to her home city, next. just over a year ago,

, with ronna mcdaniel , plus the fatal shooting of rayshard brooks, and her plan to reform the police department there and we have chaos among the protesters now want to change the name from the capitol hill autonomous zone to the capitol hill organize or occupy protest, the move from chaz to chop when you join sandra and me, 9:00-12:00. ainsley: the deadly police shooting of a black man in atlanta fueling it new wave of protests joining us with her message to her home city of atlanta is fox news contributor dr. alveda king, niece of dr. martin luther king jr. and author of the book the spirit of a dream good morning to you, dr. king. >> good morning, ainsley. first, we see right away, in atlanta, you know i live in atlanta, my goddaughter angela king and my colleague have been boots on the ground talking to people right where rayshard was shot and so what they are seeing is that people are like we need
5:54 am
answers, what happened? why is this happening? you have to remember that jesus spoke peace to the storm. we're not going to have justice until we speak peace and when we do that we have to have prayer, purpose, positive planning and positive action. now, in seattle, talking about block parties. for goodness sakes remember the good old days this is not the good old days. we have to have a plan so we have to speak peace and finally, martin luther king jr. said when you value the hurt, human personality you won't kill anybody, rayshard saw threat, he took a taser and shot at the police, that was not a good plan at all so the police officers saw a perpetrator not a person and we're not seeing people, we're killing each other. we've got to see , we've got to pray, we've got to forgive and be rational. ainsley: yeah and we still have to wait on an investigation when you watch that video, what comes
5:55 am
to mind? >> when i watch the video, actually, we don't know if the young man was homeless, if he wasn't feeling well, if he had fallen asleep in his car for a strange reason, so you wake up out of your sleep, you feel like you're threatened, you begin to try to defend yourself against you don't even know what and then like i said, police officers right now see perpetrators and they don't see people a lot of times. it's easy to do what happened to george floyd. you just kill whatever you think without seeing a person who has a family who loves them, whose calling out for his mother. so we have to see people. we have to be not color blind. we have to not be color blind but warm blood, human beings. we are not seeing each other. we're not listening to each other. that is the problem and we actually have to play, not play, good lord, no, pray, have purpose, positive planning, and positive action. ainsley: we are all god's children. let's leave it with a final message for the folks that are
5:56 am
watching, how can we come together? >> come together, in prayer, love, forgiveness, act positive ly, stop killing pemex ex ainsley: yes. dr. king, great to see you thank you so much. >> thank you. ainsley: you're welcome we have more "fox & friends" just moment s away. my nunormal: fewer asthma attacks. less oral steroids. taking my treatment at home. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your doctor about nucala at home. find your nunormal with nucala. theand we want to thank times, the extraordinary people ask your doctor about nucala at home. in the healthcare community, working to care for all of us. at novartis, we promise to do our part. as always, we're doing everything we can to help keep cosentyx accessible and affordable.
