september. carley: all the way to september. we will see. rob: we will see how tom brady does in that bucs uniform. jillian: have a good day everyone, thanks for watching. fox and friends starts right now. brian: there we go straight to a fox news alert. chaos in the streets now in portland. it happened overnight. police making several arrests as protests turn violent. rioters turning projectiles at officers and setting fires. ainsley: that's right, brian. one officer was sent to the hospital after a rock was thrown at their head. in atlanta, protesters sur rounding the capitol building down there following the death of rayshard brooks who was shot and killed by police. [chanting] no justice, no peace. no justice, no peace. steve: meanwhile the atlanta mayor announcing new police training and policy reforms as she declares brooks' death murder.
3:01 am
jonathan zeroy joining you live in atlanta as the department releases the 911 call from that wendy's that sent cops to that parking lot right behind him. jonathan, good morning. >> good morning, steve, anxiously and brian. you can see behind me the shrine to rayshard brooks keeps getting larger and larger. things here are quiet right now. we do expect more protests as we go later into the day. take a look at these scenes from yesterday. large numbers of demonstrators gathered around the georgia capital in downtown atlanta demanding hate crimes legislation and equal justice. just a block away from the state house at city hall mayor keisha lance bottoms announced immediate reforms to the police department to prioritize deescalation and require officers to report all uses of deadly force and to intervene when they see a fellow officer using unnecessary force. take a listen. >> we saw the murder of rayshard brooks. and as i have said before, i am
3:02 am
often reminded of words of dr. martin luther king jr. there is a fierce urgency of now in our community. >> police released the 911 call that brought them to the wendy's parking lot friday night where an employee found brooks asleep in a car. let's listen. >> okay. what's going on? >> i have a car, i think he is intoxicated. he is in the middle of my drive threw. i tried to wake him up, but he's parked dead in the middle of the drive-thru. so i don't know what's wrong with him. >> is he breathing? >> yeah, he weekend up and looked at me. >> is he black, white? >> he's black. >> internal affairs document on the two responding officers show garrett rolfe terminating after shooting brooks received a written reprimand in 2017 for use of force involving a firearm. fellow officer devin brosnan has
3:03 am
no disciplinary history. steve, ainsley and brian, the d.a., of course, is looking over all the evidence in the case and expects to announce whether he will pursue criminal charges some time in the middle of this week. back to you guys. ainsley: thank you so much, jonathan. ainsley: today president trump is expected do sign an executive order on police conduct as calls for reform are growing inside and griff jenkins is live in washington, d.c. to break down what that could entail. griff? griff: good morning, brian, anxiously and steve. the president has been working on this for weeks. the goal of this is rebuilding the trust between americans and those who protect and serve. promoting a community-based policing strategy utilizing best practice and information-sharing about bad cops. >> mostly great people. we will do better. we will do it fast. it's about law and order. but it's about justifiable, also.
3:04 am
and it's about safety. griff: components of the order include creating, credentialing and incentives on use of force standards. improving officer retention and recruitment practices especially from local communities. prioritizing correspondent services to include mental health. meanwhile, former vice president joe biden blasting it tweeting race neutral policies are not a sufficient response to race based disparities. we need to tackle racism head on and make sure everyone has a fair shot at the personal dream. white house spokesperson kayleigh mcenany disagrees. >> for 8 years president barack obama and vice president joe biden couldn't get it done but takes a businessman like president trump to come in and say how can i do this creativefully a way that protects police officers but also real substantive change. >> this as things are moving on the hill. house democrats start marking up their plan today with the vote expected next thursday. as senator tim scott is expected town vale the g.o.p.'s plan very soon. leader mcconnell says he hopes to vote on something before the
3:05 am
fourth of july recess, guys. so, moving on a lot of tracks and moving forward. brian, anxiously, steve? brian: on almost every level. griff, good job. so that's the real framework. rough framework what the president is going to be releasing about noon today. the vice president of the united states we're lucky enough to have him join us in about two hours. he will be joining us at 8:30 a.m. eastern time to go into a little bit more detail about what the president is rolling out. now, he has been talking to the senate. he has been talking to tim scott. they know roughly what's going to come out of the senate side, republican come nateed. they know roughly what's going to come out of democratic side. the other thing they do agree on they want to get it done before july 4th and put something forward. what i find stunning is that on a local level from thrangts to new york city. they are already making major changes. the biggest story out today is the new york police department. lauded by many. their police chiefs go and speak around the world to bring law
3:06 am
and order to a lawless city a story in the 19 will 0s before rudy giuliani, brayton and ray kelly before beer bernie characs in it. 600 strong. they are anticrime units. and they are going to do more community policing on the fly overnight. so, the president is moving quick. republicans are moving quick. the house is moving quick. but the cities are moving even quicker, steve. steve: the problem, brian, for new york city, this city is like $10 billion in the hole and they have to figure a way to make up budget short fall. what are they doing? going to reassign different officers to this anticrime unit. obviously a lot of the beat cops are furious about it. but nonetheless, that's the way they have decided to do it. the commissioner has given him the blessing of that plan. what's going on though in on capitol hill is going to be a little different.
3:07 am
while mitch mcconnell says he would like to have a vote on their police reform by the fourth of july, john thune says that's unlikely. roy blunt of missouri says that's probably not going to happen. what we do know about that is the democrats are pushing for getting rid of choke holds and banning them completely. the republican version for the senate does not do that specifically but, instead, what it does is it discourages choke holds by withholding federal funds to the agencies that allow them. ainsley, it's interesting. it sounds like what the president will announce later today with the executive order, with families of officers who ho have been lost in the line of duty, he is going to announce essentially more training, but the important thing is it's all about the money. and if the localities want more federal grant money, they have got to follow the federal government's guidelines. at least these executive orders. ainsley: that's probably smart.
3:08 am
money talks and gives them incentive if local communities and local police stations adhere to new police reform rules then they will get federal grant money. some of those rules entail if there is bad cop in the bunch and they have a past of using their power to take advantage of certain situations then that record will follow them. if they change departments. holding those departments accountable. and senator scott, who is an african-american senator from south carolina. he said i have been stopped more than any other senator on capitol hill. i have to remind the police, hey, i'm a senator. that's why i'm here. that's why i'm trying to get through security. is he spearheading this effort. he said tomorrow he is going to release the bill and announce what's in it. he is hoping that does give the senators at least two weeks before july 4th so that they can pass something. look, time is of the essence. we're doing more and more of these stories. so if we start reforming police and we can work together as a country, then that's going to be beneficial for everyone.
3:09 am
brian? brian: right. yeah. couple of things with new york. it's nothing to do with money. it's philosophy and pressure to redo and reimagine policing. steve: they are out of money. brian: haven't gotten to the money part yet. doesn't matter, they haven't looked at that from the law enforcement perspective. this is the pressure from what's going on with this mayor who by the way is ill at this hour. we wish him the best. let's go talk abou awms and aut. talk about, seattle major cities concerned that had them react quickly to make sure this wouldn't happen to them places like portland and nashville. this continues to be a place in which they make up their own rules. they essentially want to succeed from the united states of america and make up their own rules, have free college and everything else. their demands are all over the map. to the embarrassment of many in law enforcement, their chief has been told abandon the precinct and they did. and they now say in that zone
3:10 am
they will never make that a precinct again. don't tell that to police chief best. their goal is to get back inside. even though they could do it in nine seconds. politicians, the liberal politician also not allow that to happen. listen to the police chief. >> there is no cop-free zone in the city of seattle. there is nothing more important to me than having those officers back in the east precinct. clearly if i are asking about the current situation, it's not one that i like. but we do have to make sure that we balance a bulb safety with our ability to engage with the people who are there. brian: so there she is sitting on the outside and i think one of the worst things can you do as a police chief is look weak. she looks tremendously weak and powerless. this mayor and this governor are giving you an idea of what type of philosophy and what america should look like after this next
3:11 am
election. front and center. and you can't blame it on president trump. you can't blame it on the republican philosophy. you can't blame it on politics. this is all singing from the same hymn book and this is the results you get. some are horrified by it. some are prideful with it. ultimately we will find out in november, steve. steve: well, she is just following orders because it's very clear the mayor of seattle has made a business decision for the police to be on the outside of that chop or chaz zone: it's interesting yesterday there were a couple of 911 calls from people inside the zone hey, somebody started a fire and there has been some vandalism. the cops headed over there, and from the outside, they looked in, they could not see a fire, they did not see any violence or vandalism, so they they did not go inside. nonetheless, this has really attracted the attention of the president of the united states. he sees an issue right here. is he habits described himself as the law and order president. what he says is the governor and
3:12 am
the democrats and the mayor have failed to do their job and if they don't do something about what's going on in seattle his worry is it's going to spread to other cities. and the president says he will not let that happen. here he is. >> these people have taken over a vast part, a major part a very good part of a place called seattle. seattle is big stuff. that's a major city we have a governor stiff and a mayor who said this is going to be a love fest. and by the way these are violent people who took it over. these are not people that are nice people. you have a governor that doesn't do a damn thing about it. and you have a mayor that doesn't know she is alive. talking about it's going to be a love fest this summer. they don't do the job, i will do the job. i have already spoken to the attorney general about it. steve: did he speak to the attorney general, ainsley. he declingsd to say what the administration might do. nonetheless, is he worried about
3:13 am
it spreading to other communities and cities and the president says he is not going to let that happen. ainsley: the president is going to be speaking today at noon in the rose garden talking about that executive order. and back to your point, steve about seattle. i was reading an article this morning that the police officers they got some calls to go in to that zone but they weren't able to get into that zone to respond to some of the 911 calls. thankfully nobody noe one's life at at risk. the police chief said they are trying to coordinate now if you call 911 and you are in the zone, then we will coordinate with the victim or the caller to meet us outside of the zone. this is like nothing we have ever seen before. all right. jillian is back in the studio. she has some breaking news for us from north korea. will. jillian: good morning. we begin with fox news alert. north korea raising tensions by blowing up a diplomat i can office near the north korea border overnight. state media said the move was retaliation for defector groups in south korea sending anti-camp
3:14 am
booklets across the border. kim jong un's sister threatened to demolish the building calling it useless: retired police captain david durham. mark jackson faces several charges including second degree murder and robbery. is he being held in jail without bond. along with the suspected shooter stephan cannon. durham was killed while trying to protect a friend's pawnshop from looters during riots in st. louis earlier this month. three nypd officers were hospitalized overnight after drinking milk shakes at manhattan shake shack. sources telling our fox affiliate the officers were accidentally sickened by cleaning solution from improperly cleaned machine. they are expected to be okay. shake shack tweeting, quote: our team is working hard to get the full picture. in the meantime we are relieved to hear the officers are all okay.
3:15 am
nfl commissioner roger goodell a team signing colin kaepernick. listen to. this listen, if he wants to resume his career in the nfl, i welcome that support the club making that decision and encourage them to do that. jillian: kaepernick hasn't played since the 2016 season when i he started protesting curing the national anthem. league is wrong how it handled the demonstration by players. time will tell. we will keep you updated. back to you guys. brian: wow, it will be interesting even if he wants to play after three years. thanks, jillian. meanwhile, as the country reopens. some states are seeing a spike in the coronavirus cases. what does it mean and how worried should you be or if worried at all. dr. siegel is here to read between the numbers next. ♪ ♪

3:20 am
ainsley: new concerns of a potential second lockdown as nearly two dozen states reporting a rise in cases. how worried should would he be fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel. hey, dr. siegel. >> good morning, ainsley. how are you? ainsley: i'm good. thank you. what do these numbers mean? >> well, actually, the numbers are misleading. because we are seeing a big decrease in cases in the northeast right now, ainsley. but we're seeing uptick in the south and west. overall, yesterday, this is really important news, was actually a good day for covid-19 in terms of deaths. 345 in the united states total. which is the lowest number that we have seen since march. about 18,000 overall cases in the u.s. which shows that despite reopening, the curve is continuing flat overall even downward trending a bit.
3:21 am
again, because the northeast is doing so much better in terms of cases and deaths. centers for disease control released statistics yesterday that you are six times more likely to be hospitalized if you have a chronic condition like diabetes or heart disease. we knew that already. that just emphasizes the point. there are high wisconsin groups that need to be protected. that's especially true for the nursing home population. overall, despite reopening, we are seeing not an increase in cases in the united states and definitely a decrease in deaths. ainsley: is it because of testing. antibody tises a month ago are those tests just being distributed to the southern states. alabama, south carolina and arkansas have seen the biggest jump. >> that's a hugely important point. there is no question about that. in fact, the increase in testing has led to an increase in tracing people in most of these states where we can figure out who has it and who has been in contact with that one thing we
3:22 am
haven't seen and this is the thing i look at the most we haven't seen a jump in the hospitalization rates in these states affected to where hospitals can't handle it. that's what we're most interested in. ainsley: that's great. >> again, the test something a very positive thing. ainsley: let's talk about the trump rally. going to start those rallies again. first one on saturday tulsi, oklahoma. they are talking about getting a bigger venue because brad parscale who is head of his campaign tweeted out that more than a million people are requesting tickets. so, the governor is trying to find maybe a bigger spot. talk about how they are going to prepare to make sure covid doesn't circuicirculate. pass out hand sanitizer and masks and temperature checks is that enough? >> that's a good point, ainsley. i will point out something you didn't ask me. protests across the united states have not shown uptick of
3:23 am
cases. so if we're going to have protests, we certainly can have rallies. the state of oklahoma only had 185 new cases in the entire state yesterday. so i think that's a good choice of states. i think the mask and hand sanitizers are a good idea. i would add if there is a way to build in some social distancing which you know i'm a big fan of. it's very hard to do that at rallies that should be something we should at least keep in mind. we can't have this both ways. if we are going to have protests, we have to be able to have rallies. ainsley: thank you so much, dr. siegel, we will see how it pans out on saturday. anticrime unit meaning 600 officers now reassigned. our police panel weighs in next.

3:28 am
eliminating anticrime unit. 600 plain clothes unit will be reassigned in a gear toward community focused policing? >> it's time to move forward and change how we police in this city. we can do it with brains. we can do it with guile. we can move away from bruit force. this is not without risk. the risk will fall squarely on my shoulders. he worry when i make this decision of unintended consequences do we recover less guns? brian: what a bold move, our police panel here to weigh in on this titanic change in operations dr. darrin porcher here. along with former nypd officer johnson and sheriff t toulon. i was stunned by this where did it come from. >> good morning, brian.
3:29 am
thanks for having me on today. the anticrime unit was to prevent gun violence in new york. we have seen that shootings and murders are now uptick in there. and with this new strategy, develop really to protect the communities of color so that they don't feel targeted and they also feel safe. you know, it looks like it was done rather hastily and for the men and women in the police department. have you wonder if they feel like they are retreating from previous policies. we know also nypd uses compstat for all of their crime strategies and deployment of staff. i'm not even sure that they use a compstat model to make this decision and was it for some other political entity. brian: darron, what about you? what are plain clothes officers known have done and how are uniformed officers exposed? >> well, the pride of being a plain clothed officer can you
3:30 am
surreptitiously your ability to secresecrete for a burglary or robbery pattern. that is essential in policing. and oftentimes the anticrime officers are officers that are got there based on a meritocracy. this is something of a reward so to speak from active policing in particular. and this is kind of removing a sense of pride and officers on the street. the anticrime officers are very instrumental in a reduction or the recession of crime as a result. we clearly have experienced precipitous drops in the opportunities anticrime officers. this is as a result of the de blasio administration's failure to understand the practitioners that being the nypd. so although you have the commissioners that is at the forefront, the policy is being dictated from city hall. we are now using new yorkers as a litmus test for public safety based on the growing sentiment in the wake of the death of george floyd.
3:31 am
we need to come together with a better strategy to police new yorkers and put us in a better place and unfortunately, de blasio is taking us in the wrong direction. brian: officer johnson, i'm looking at this and seeing what's going to be lacking. now they are going to do more community policing. so they're going to play paddle ball instead of going in to there and finding out hot bad guys are? >> i would hope that this is not a political employee political g politics over effectsive policing. new york city has historic lows in regards to crime over the last few years. this is a knee-jerk reaction and not good for the morale of the police department. law enforcement officers need to know that they are supported and the plain clothes officers are most important officers. they help keep crime off the street and guns off the street. when they take guns off the
3:32 am
street and apprehend violent felons, that helps everyone. brian: sheriff, let's go to the president's executive order that is going to be unveiled at noon today in front of families who are victims of police officer violence. create credentials and certification incentives for, i guess, people to do great policing. improve officer retention and recruitment practices. prioritize correspondent services. so essentially that's really short hand to say one of the key factors is report the bad cops, sheriff. >> right. and you know when we discuss especially in national accreditation which is probably a great model that we are going to start, you know, we also want to look at other things besides the deescalation and use of force, because we still need to work on the supervision, the community engagement, you know, cultural awareness.
3:33 am
a model that's going to be a national accreditation for all law enforcement agencies and not just following those front line officers are going to be very important. brian: they want to spur on modern use of force practices. they wants to encourage police departments to track among their ranks, that's going to be a tough run one, right? >> no, this is necessary. internal report something very much needed in policing. i can just speak to my experience as a practitioner. at one point i worked as a lieutenant in the internal affairs bureau. it's very necessary for the nominee that culture to report discrepancies or misconduct as it relates to other officers because what it does it makes the rank and file a better place to work. you know, it's unfortunate, but we do have bad apples in policing. however, the structure of policing needs to advance and i'm confident that the executive
3:34 am
branch is introducing this new legislation that will put us in a better place. it's clear that there needs to be a revolution in policing. the structure has been somewhat fractured as we look at past acts. so moving forward, how can we better police departments not just on a local level but national level. this is what this executive order is entailing. tim scott was very specific when he introduced this legislation. he felt that it was necessary and tim scott is speaking as an african-american male that's been stopped. and he is an elected official. he is a senator. and it goes -- it really speaks to the volumes of the necessity in moving this forward. brian: right. and lamont, real quick they talk about prioritize correspondent services. that means when you go out you might have a social worker with you or a psychologist with you. is that going to work? >> well, believe it or not, cops are already social workers. police officers we have social workers. we do it all so having an
3:35 am
additional professional to help, i think that may be helpful. but you also have to understand that they may not be trained as officers are trained and they may be put in harm's way because this is a dangerous job. so it has its pros and it has its cons as far as the safety of that social worker. brian: all right. yeah. we will have to see. tell the social worker. we keep putting them in the cop car. maybe they didn't want to sign up for that as you know, it's better than anybody. it's dangerous work. guys, thanks so much. instant analysis what the president is about to release as well as the stunning news that came out of the nypd yesterday. appreciate it, guys. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> you got it. straight ahead. atlanta's mayor declares the death of ar rashard brooks a murder. the d.a. still hasn't decided on the charges yesterday. the da weighs in next. ave you holding your breath. ♪

3:41 am
the atlanta mayor said this was a murder? >> well, good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. it does not surprise me that she said it was a murder. potential and realistic actual unrust on her hands it is a tragedy that a person who falls asleep in a car because they had too much to drink half an hour ends up dead. but i don't think this is going to be an easy case to prove as mayor. -- to prove as murder. the mayor can say what she wants and she can change all the police regulations she wants. but the law in georgia is the same as the law the united states. if the police reasonably believe that the person running from them poses a morality threat to them by using the taser that he took from the cop, they can use deadly force to subdue him.
3:42 am
that's what the judge will tell the jury. now, it's going to depend on how the case is tried and whatever other facts are laid out but the defendant is entitled to get that instruction from the judge to the jury because that's the law. ainsley: what happened with the sanctuary laws in california? >> quell, the sanctuary laws in california, which are a state statute directing state and local officials not to cooperate with federal officials when they are seeking assistance with immigration was withheld by a federal district court. and the the trump administration, asked the supreme court to hear an appeal. and the supreme court declined to hear the appeal. so that's not a ruling on the merits. it's just too busy, we don't have time. we are not going to hear it. let's see what works out. maybe it will come back again in
3:43 am
the future. that's the legal aspect. the practical aspect is that california now lawfully is a sanctuary state and there is nothing the feds can do about it that's going to require more federal resources in california because they can't rely on the assistance of their state partners as they do in most other parts of the country. brian: that's a blow to the people worried about illegal immigration. judge, what would the lgbtq got a major victory yesterday. break it down for us. >> this is an extension of the civil rights act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination in the workplace and in public accommodations on the basis of race gender, national origin, religious brief and sex. the question is does sex mean
3:44 am
lgbtq or does it just mean male, female? since 1964, the courts have interpreted this statute interpreting the word sex to mean just male and female. you can't make a decision on the basis of whether a person is a male or female. you can't hire on that basis. you can't retain on that basis. and you can't promote on that basis. now, that protection has been extended to the lgbtq community. because in an utterly brilliant philosophical and magnificent decision by justice neil gorsuch, president trump's first appointee to the court, justifiable gulch, just to remind you replaced justice scalia. the court by a vote of 6-3 under justifiable gulch's pen found that discrimination on the bailiffs of lgbtq status is discrimination on the basis of sex and, therefore, it's prohibited. this is just limited to the workplace. this does not extend to public accommodations.
3:45 am
and in half the states in the union this is the law already. in new york, where we work, in new jersey where i am now. it's already state law. but, now it's federal law everywhere in the land. this is another setback for the trump administration because the justice department had argued against this. though the trump administration and the justifiable department was not a litigant in the case. steve: right. real quick exit question. does it supplies you that mr. trump's candidate for the supreme court and he was confirmed neil gorsuch, joined john roberts the chief justice with the liberal wing in the decision? >> it does not surprise me. i know justifiable gulch's thinking very well. we both studied legal philosophy a generation apart under the same professor at two different schools. justice gorsuch is of the view that everybody is entitled to rights irrespective of the way they are.

irrespective of some characteristic. i was surprised of the chief justice joining the four more liberal members. this is a landmark opinion. makes justice gorsuch immediately on fourth year on the court an historic figure and the personal who watch. ainsley: judge, great to see you. thanks so much for being with us. >> all the best,guys. ainsley: thanks to you, too. jillian is in the studio. jillian: the fbi is now looking into the hanging deaths of two black men. robert fuller was found hanging in a tree that southern california park earlier this month police say it appears to be a suicide. family members say fuller was not suicidal. malcolm harsh was found hanging from a tree more than foist miles away. no signs of foul play. the feds will investigate if there is any link between the cases. the father of this florida

3:53 am
steve: let's talk politics on tuesday morning. it was a little more than a year ago when asked of joe biden why barack obama, his boss, president, had not endorsed his candidacy, joe biden asked him i asked him not to. i don't know how many people really believe that nonetheless, it looks like barack obama is going to team up with joe biden one week from today for a virtual fundraiser. he just had one within the last 48 hours with senator elizabeth warren and it looks as if they raised $6 million. that's pretty good. for the month of may biden took
3:54 am
in $81 million through his campaign and through the dnc but it is particularly, ainsley, the warren fundraiser which has been his largest so far particularly on the trump campaign talking about what a hypocrite she is. at last night's event they raised $6 million largest amount raised at any event for the biden victory fund so far. i'm sure barack obama will raise a ton next week. but you are right. a lot of people saying she is a hypocrite. don't you remember she said i'm not going to support the super pacs. i would not accept support from the super pacs. she slammed buttigieg for holding ritzy wine cave event. and joe biden for fundraiser. this is what she said in march right after she dropped out. listen. >> no matter how many washington
3:55 am
insiders tell you to support him, nominating fellow washington insider will not meet this moment. [cheers and applause] nominating a man who says we do not need any fundamental change in this country will not meet this moment. brian: i don't know how effective she is going to be. but she was able to brad parscale running things for team trump. hypocrite elizabeth warren sold out to the dnc establishment and is throwing a fundraiser tonight for joe biden. she once said that biden is too much of a washington insider to change anything in the swamp. warren has sold out but it's still true kamala harris. then val demings who is now law enforcement background seems to have turned off a lot of party
3:56 am
officials who say we want to turn away from police as you know they are running on that. thin you have this very impressive mayor keisha lance bottoms a lot of people think she is very left wing but extremely composed and very talented, obviously. she is going to be strong. susan rice comes with a lot of baggage. good luck, joe. steve: the president of the united states, donald trump said he thought that joe should give it to elizabeth warren because of she stayed in and kept bernie from taking over his. so more on that later on. meantime on our tuesday telecast charles payne and tammy bruce. you are watching "fox & friends" live.

4:00 am
steve: good morning. 7:00 in the east. we have a fox news alert. if you are just waking up, chaos on the streets overnight. some protests turned violent. reuterslrioters throwsprojectil. one officer sent to the hospital after a rock was thrown at their head. looters smashing store front windows. stealing items inside. brian. brian: i'm not sure what gets accomplished when you just beat up on officers. in atlanta, protesters surrounding the capital building that following the death of what happened saturday night with rayshard brooks shot and killed by police.
4:01 am
[chanting] no justice, no peace. no justice, no peace. no justice, no peace. brian: there you go. the mayor announcing new police training and policy reforms. not waiting for washington as she declares brooks' death murder. steve: that all happening down in atlanta where we find our correspondent jonathan serrie. as, jonathan, we understand that the police department has released that 911 call when somebody from wendy's said there is a guy asleep in the drive-thru. >> yeah. they did. and, in fact, all of this unfolded in the parking lot that you see behind me. it was the scene of many protests overrecent days. it's calm this morning. but we do anticipate more demonstrations throughout the city of atlanta later today. yesterday there were large numbers of people gathered around the georgia capital in downtown atlanta demanding hate crime legislation and social justifiable. the mayor administrative orders
4:02 am
to reform police training and policy. they prioritize deescalation tech uniques over the yours of force and they require police to report all uses of deadly force to a citizens review board. they also require officers to intervene if they see a fellow officer resort to unnecessary force. the changes begin immediately. >> we saw the murder of rayshard brooks. and as i have said before, i am often reminded of the words of dr. martin luther king jr. there is a fierce urgency of now in our community. >> now we are going to play for that you 911 call that police have released. it's the call that brought officers to the wendy's pry day night where an employee found brooks asleep in a car. take a listen. >> what's going on? >> i have a car. i think he is intoxicated. he is in the middle of my
4:03 am
drive-thru. i tried to wake him up but he is parked dead in the middle of the drive-thru so i don't know what's wrong with him. >> is he breathing ma'am, do you know? >> yeah. he woke up, looked at me and -- is he black, white? >> he black. >> the d.a. plans to decide by end of week whether to pursue charges. rolfe terminated by shooting rayshard brooks received a written reprimand for using use of force. devin brosnan has no history. actor tyler perry has offered to pay for brooks' funeral and also offered to finance the college education of all four children. back to you guys. steve: all right. from the streets of atlanta. jonathan, thank you. meanwhile, later today, midday, president trump is expected to sign an executive order on police conduct as calls for
4:04 am
reform grow nationwide. kristin fisher is live near the white house to break all that we think is going to happen today, hey, kristin. >> good morning, yeah. president trump is going to be signing this executive order after making this address in the rose garden this afternoon. and he says there are going to be a significant amount of law enforcement at this event. >> you have mostly great people. i know so many of them. law enforcement but we will do better. even better. we will try to do it fast. it's about law and order. but it's about justice, also. and it's about safety. >> a lot of americans have been wondering what concrete actions president trump would take in response to the death of george floyd and other black americans at the hands of police. and yesterday a senior administration official started to fill in the blanks. this executive order will
4:05 am
encourage police departments to employ the latest standard for use of force it. will improve information-sharing about bad cops and create co-responder programs which would add social workers to nonviolent cases things like drug addiction and homelessness. already the president's 2020 rival joe biden says that this executive order does not go anywhere near far enough. he said on twitter last night, quote: race-neutral policies are not a sufficient response to race-based disparities. we need to tackle systemic racism head-on and ensure everyone has a fair shot at the american dream. in addition to this executive order. senate republicans are also working on their own police reform proposal and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says he wants a vote on that proposal before senators leave for the july 4th recess and brian, ainsley, and steve that is a much more expedited timeline than many people in washington believe that it would be. ainsley: okay. good deal. thank you so much, kristin.
4:06 am
the president is going to be speaking at noon in the rose garden talking about the executive order and you have congress taking up this issue as well. police reform and senator mitch mcconnell wants the vote on police reform on this bill by fourth of july. so that's in a few weeks. senator scott says he is spearheading. this is he going to introduce the bill tomorrow. the republican version of it, and says he hopes that they will be able to pass something before they break for those two weeks for the fourth of july. we will have the vice president on with us live at 8:30 this morning and we'll be asking him all about it and what entails, brian? brian: yeah. by the way. they are already making changes locally. you see what's going on in atlanta and new york city and minneapolis. there has also been backlash. have you about 79 officers quit in minneapolis. numbers quite high we'll understand with new york. and then others over in florida, whole swat teams said i'm no longer going to be in swat. i don't like the attitude of our mayor. going to stay somehow on the
4:07 am
police force. meanwhile karen porcher joined us earlier. is he a dock ever to travel justice. former police officer himself. he looked at what the president is doing. created credential incentives it will modern use practice improve officer retention and recruitment. try to get a higher quality officer out there. i think this is key, pairing police officers with social workers who may be better able to handle substance abuse problems and mental health i. he says he thinks it's a good start. >> it's unfortunate but we do have bad apples in policing. however, the structure of policing needs to advance and i'm confident that the executive branch is introducing this new legislation that will put news a better place. it's clear that there needs to be a revolution in policing. the structure has been somewhat fractured as we look at past acts. so moving forward, how can we better police departments not just on a local level but on a national level and this is what
4:08 am
this executive order is entailing. >> so the president of the national fraternal order of police said in a statement, that the organization that reviewed the executive order and supports its goals and methodology. we will see what happens as it rolls out today. i'm sure the critic also line up, steve. steve: the president of the united states i'm sure will mention the fact that he did ask the commission to look into police reforms back in december, i believe, which was bay before george floyd died. meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about this. we have heard from the trump campaign that it sounds like north of 1 million people have applied online to attend the big rally that was going to be on june 19th but moved to june 20th, this saturday. it's interesting. because there is still a global pandemic going on. so, you know what's going to happen? well, apparently attendees are going to wind up with a
4:09 am
temperature check. they are going to check people's temperatures before they go in. they are going to be given hand hand sanitizer and a mask. i think the most interesting development about this over the last 24 hours is the fact that now perhaps given the number that so many people have applied they are looking for a different larger venue which in that neck of the woods would probably mean outdoor stadium. more we learn about being outdoors -- you look at the protests, you are less likely to get it, they say if you are out in the air we will have dr. oz with us in about an hour. the worry about scofd aerosol. talking. or screams yea yea yea, then it sounds like the aerosol can hang in the air for hours. so if they're outside. can't hurt.
4:10 am
ainsley: yeah, we are going to talk to dr. oz about it and see what he says. in church you have to social distance because when you sing it can be passed through the air, too. but, they are handing out hand sanitizer and mask and check temperatures. here is dr. siegel. he was on with us earlier with his reaction. >> protests around the united states have not yet shown uptick of cases. >> minneapolis just showed this and did not show uptick of cases if we are going to have protests certainly can have rallies. state of oklahoma only had 185 cases. >> i think that's a good choice of states. masks and hand sanitizer good idea. way to social distancing. hard to do at rallies but should be something we should at least keep in mind. steve: brian. >> the good news as dr. siegel
4:11 am
pointed out is a little bit of a difference. joe biden is going to have a big advantage because he has small crowds and people don't get that excited much safer venue as oppose you had to the president with big crowds. goes outdoors in tulsa, oklahoma if the weather is good. that's a win all the way around. president to have the president stay off the road and away from those rallies. last thing they want to see him do is get momentum like he had last time. he trails in most polls and even people on the optimistic side on the trump team know he is coming from behind. meanwhile, a man that was once his national security advisor, john bolton was added late. replaced john kelly. and then when he was all said and done seemed extremely unhappy by the way he quit or was fired. his book is going to be extremely tough on the president. on nikki haley and others. and right now it has not been secured cleared. remember, released a navy seal
4:12 am
in the bin laden raid. released his book without clearance and unable to keep the profits. john bolton could be going down the same path. listen to a.g. barr. >> i don't know of any book that's been published so quickly. the thing that is front and center right now is trying to get him to complete the process. go through the process and make the necessary deletions of classified information. we don't believe that bolton went through that process. hasn't completed the process and therefore is in violation of that agreement. >> going to come out june 23rd. and going to give the president's critics just another book talking about donald trump in a negative way. we will see where it goes from here, steve. steve: if it comes out it. sounds like the white house is going to -- the administration is going to seek a court injunction to bar the release. although apparently he also has an interview with abc news over the weekend to promote it.
4:13 am
but it's interesting. mark zaid who that name is familiar to a lot of people. he was the attorney for the whistleblower, right? he says if the government deems even one word classified in john bolton's book he could be prosecuted regardless of failure to obtain approve subjecting him to civil liability. the publisher says bolton worked with the nsa to incorporate changes in the text and claims, ainsley, this simply is the book donald trump does not want you to read. nonetheless, the white house and the a.g. say he does not have permission and you have got to have permission because there are big secrets in it. ainsley: the president said highly inappropriate, could lead to charges, doubt he can write a book because that's highly classified information. will breech federa breach federf published in current form. review process.
4:14 am
he alleges i believe in the book is he going to allege all this misconduct from the president. the book is called "in the room where it happened." and it's white house memoir. the room where it happened. the white house memoir. we will see. brian, have you heard for sure it's coming out on that date? brian: that's what i hear. john bolton who the ultimate conservative, a great contributor on this network and on the radio show, i'm just surprised because this would work towards donald trump not getting reelected. and everything about john bolton is he is a conservative. he knows what a joe biden administration, the direction it would take the country. i'm surprised that he would do something that would hurt re-election. wants to get his points out there i could see him wanting to get his point of view out there. but something like this could just be a campaign thing for joe biden. steve: let's see what the courts do. because it looks like it's heading that wait a minute we will keep you posted. meantime about 7:15 and jillian joins us right now with a fox news alert. jillian: that's right. good morning.
4:15 am
we start with this. north korea blowing all diplomats i can office near southern border overnight. south korea's defense ministry releasing new video of the explosion moments ago. can you see it right there. the move was retaliation for defector groups in south korea anti-campaign pamphlets across the board. kim jong un's sister recently threatened to demolish the building calling it, quote. useless. hospitalized after drinking milk shakes at manhattan shake shack. telling fox affiliate the officers were accidentally sickened by cleaning solution from improperly cleaned machine. no criminality is involved. shake shack tweeting quote our team is working hard to get the full picture. in the meantime we are relieved to hear the officers are all okay. a protester is shot during a violent clash over a statue overnight. confrontation started when protesters tried tearing down the sculpture outside of an
4:16 am
albuquerque museum. armed militia stepped in to guard it. the wounded protester is in critical but stable condition. the fbi and police are questioning several people involved. the statue was later taken away on a forklift. an entire high school baseball team seen taking a knee during the national anthem. the team making the statement on the field in des moines, iowa in season opener. players say protest is about social justifiable, not the flag. the team's manager supports the demonstration and wants the players to be able to express themselves. that's a look at your headlines, send it back to you. jillian: thank you, jillian. as america reopenings and more stores are getting back to business. what's the outlook like for the ones that survive the shutdown. charles payne has the good news coming up next. it's time for the lowest prices of the season on

4:21 am
ainsley: as states ease coronavirus restrictions on businesses, shoppers are opening up the pocketbooks in wallets. the commerce department expected to reveal a record rise in may retail sales report out today. and our next guest says we can expect even more growth ahead. charles payne host of making money on fox business is here to explain. hey, charles. >> hey, good morning. yeah. of course, to put this context. the april retail sales number was -- saw the biggest decline in history. obviously. you don't have to be economist to know if people can't leave their homes, they can't shop. the declines are really mind boggling. 59% decline of furniture month over month. 50% in electronics. 39% at gas stations. 79% on clothing. everyone is sitting around in pajamas. obviously we expect some nice rebound from this. right? everything should be up month over month.
4:22 am
one thing i will be looking at which of these categories are actually up year over year. certainly i think groceries will be in that and maybe a couple others. you hit it right on the head, anxiously. momentum. not every state was open in may. this will just be a start. everyone talked at the beginning of this pandemic, what letter would our recovery look like and virtually every single expert said there is no such thing as a v. in other words we had this sharp decline followed by a sharp rebound but so far most of the data points to a v. of course it gets tougher as states restaurants hit capacity and things like that. think about these industries. restaurant industry alone lost $120 billion in three months. so, there is a lot of pent up anxiety still out there and people, of course, want to go out, shop, work, and spend. ainsley: there was increase in spending in october after 9/11 6.7%. aren't they expecting even a bigger jump than that when we get the may numbers today like 8%? >> 8% would be a record.
4:23 am
they have been keeping this data since 1992. so by far would be a record without a doubt and, again, there are certain industries and i'm more concerned about internet i'm not concerned about. in april internet only thing was up. we could all only shop online. we do want to see key sectors and see restaurants come back. and some of these other industries that really reflect main street, particularly small businesses more than others. so it's going to be a huge number. so far in the last couple of months, most of these data points have come in better than expected. this is one we are really hoping for. ainsley: for the folks that didn't lose their jobs and still getting paid they weren't out in the stores spending money. what are savings accounts going to look like? >> well, i got to tell you, our savings rate the last time they measured it was a mind boggling 33%. americans have, according to the government. we have $6 trillion in savings. and we have never been anywhere
4:24 am
near that number. the idea is how do you get people to go out and spend that and that's the debate that washington, d.c. is grappling with i don't think people are going to spending a lot of that money if they don't think there is a little bit extra help coming from d.c. they will sit on it and be worried. people have gotten their jobs back but the economy is still fragile enough to need another little bit of a nudge. we know people are going to go out there when they regain that confidence. where we were just in february. that's all we have got to get back. to say ainsley, yesterday, there was a report in the new york area from manufacturers and what they saw six months from now mind boggling. absolutely mind boggling. if we can get the whole country troy feel like in six months we will be up, watch what happens with this economy. it will be a v shaped recovery and we will all benefit from it. ainsley: only shopping most people doing online shopping. amazon has been doing pretty well. hopefully we will see the numbers go up through the summer. thank you so much, charles. watch charles, making money with charles payne.
4:25 am
>> see you. ainsley: fox business. as we get closer to november. police something likely to be a hot topic of the presidential race. does the choice come down to abolish or reform? lawrence jones on the debate that voters are facing next. these are extraordinary times, and we want to thank the extraordinary people in the healthcare community, working to care for all of us. at novartis, we promise to do our part.

among my patisensitivity as well tas 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. steve: time nor news by the numbers. first number 12. as in 12 hours. that's how long t-mobile lost service yesterday. ceo says it was a routing issue. the fcc what caused the nationwide outage. next, 30,000. that's how many nascar fans could be allowed at the all star
4:30 am
race in tennessee next month. it would be the largest gathering in america since the coronavirus pandemic began. and finally, five years, that's how long it's been since donald trump rode down that escalator. remember that trump tower to launch his 2016 campaign. and then candidate trump greeted by supporters in new york as he took the ride with future first lady melania trump: five years ago today. all right, brian. brian: right, we know he teamed up with russia and won the election, right? is that the way it happened? with calls to defund the atlanta police department gaining traction among prominent democrats. what does it mean to voters? does the choice come down to reforming police with president trump or in some cases defunding or diminishing police that some democrats want. here to discuss fox news analyst. fox nation host lawrence jones. lawrence, where do we go as a country which the election comes, when it comes to law
4:31 am
enforcement? >> well, you know, you are a student of history, brian. as you know, when there is not a binary choice, then we're left with an option that many of us may not agree with. so what you see what's happening across country is that the democrats are by and large on the local level. conversation on a federal level on what reforms need to take place i have been reportingen it for years. the socialists, the people on the progressive left have control of a lot of these city councils as well as these county executives as well. if republicans want to have an alternative, then they have to find some way on the local level to present their choice. if they don't, we will see defund measures. that's going to impact national election as well there sun rest in the country right now. the president is supposed to release some federal guidelines.
4:32 am
as you know, brian, they can do whatever they want on the federal level. it's really not going to that's not how our country was founded. brian: lawrence, people say protests in about 700 cities. portland ended up violent. couple weeks ago new york. minneapolis, seattle is different from the protest. republicans have got to say if you want democrats in charge, that's what you get. for democrats they say the president is not listening to what's on the street. so there is somewhat nuanced there because joe biden went out of his way to say i'm not for defund. he knows that means disaster. >> yeah, it's interesting. because of we know who the leadership is on the ground. so, my question always then becomes what is the alternative? there has to be, i mean, these guys are that bad. they have lost their city.
4:33 am
we know what type of policies that they believe in. and so who is appealing to those community members that want safety but still want justice as well? and right now there isn't an alternative message on the local level in seattle. as you know, i have done man on the streets in seattle. i report on the homelessness, the drug problem there. the economy that's there. that's impacting local residents there. this has been going on in seattle for a while it's a beautiful city. when you allow policies to take over that are progressive. that only cater to 10%, 20% of the country, then you get what you get. where is the other message? brian: let's change gears to a degree. politico did this story today and here's the headline. we're thinking land slide beyond
4:34 am
d.c. g.o.p. officials see trump on glide pat to re-election. no matter what it is they will find something negative the rally, irresponsible to have it. listen to this. they say it's a different story out and about. philip stevens, the g.o.p. gharm robe binson county north carolina said this in politico. more bad things happen in the country that just solidify support for trump calling him teflon trump. if anything get people nor excited than they were in 2016 we are thinking landslide. all the polls say the opposite. what do you think, lawrence? y trust national polls i'm more likely to go what each state is talking about. it's already hard to be the incumbent president. joe biden is banking on three things. s.e. banking on president barack obama being the rallying person for him. that didn't work for hillary clinton. so i don't know how that's going to help them.
4:35 am
he is also banking on having a v.p. i predict is he going to pick a black woman to rally the troops. excite america. he doesn't have that excitement as well. the third thing as you noted in the beginning of the statement he is going to be banking on the unrest nut country. that could be problematic for the president it's going to depend on tone how he addresses the country. he unio unify the country and sk to those americans look we are troubled with what we see with law enforcement in the community but as well as we still want our community to be safe. can that -- county president strike that balance? i don't know yet. the election is so far out right now. a lot of things can change between then. again, going to be banking on that unrest as well as county economy get back to the way it was before this pandemic, all those are going to be calculated. young it's going to be a land slide for either candidate but it's going to be a dead heat

4:51 am
seattle could spread to other cities and he says he is not going to let that happen. here is the police chief carmen best talking about what she would really like to get her officers back into that east precinct office in the capital area that has been plywooded over so that people can't get in, here is the chief. >> there is no cop free zone in the city of seattle. there is nothing more important to me than having those officers back in the east precinct. clearly if you are asking about the current situation, it's not one that i like. but we do have to make sure that we balance public safety with our ability to engage with the people who are there. steve: that's going to be tough to balance public safety because yesterday there were a couple of 911 calls, ainsley. one was to report a fire and one was to report some violence or looting or vandalism.
4:52 am
so police went right up to essentially the wall they have got there the gate, the fence. and they looked in and they didn't see a fire. they didn't see any vandalism. they said, you know what? we are not going to come in because clearly the mayor has taken the point of view that they want to be as little in the face of the protesters as possible so that's why the police are outside of that particular zone. ainsley: the police chief she was talking about that yesterday and said they are trying to avoid escalation and have peaceful resolution. but she said if you are a victim and something is going on and you are inside the zone under a call 911, police can coordinate with you to meet them at the perimeter. at the periphery of the zone on the other side of the wall walls-president was weighing in on this if they don't do the job then i do.
4:53 am
they-to-have troops, national guard to come in to help them. here is the president. >> these people have taken over a vast part of, a major part, a very good part of a place called seattle. seattle is big stuff. that's a major city and we have a governor who is a stiff and we have a mayor who said oh, this is going to be a love fest. and by the way, these are violent people that took it over. these are not people that are nice people. you have a governor that doesn't do a damn thing about it. and you have a mayor that doesn't know she is alive. she is talking about it's going to be a love fest. this summer. if they don't do the job i will do the job. i have already spoken to the attorney general about it. brian: i just don't see if you want to go i 7 block zone don't expect the system to help you o. system would be garbage removal. the system would be policing. no, no. you want to police yourself. you took over the precinct and ask for police because there is a problem, andy ngo the
4:54 am
journalist he said during the day it was relatively peaceful. at night is when the lawlessness kicks off. the president has every reason to worry about this going in other liberal cities like portland, like eugene, oregon. and maybe parts of tennessee. it's been stopped because i guess the liberal governors and mayors do believe it will be a problem should they lose control of the are heart of their city that's already been plagued by this coronavirus. now, all of a sudden you tell all these other businesses no business because some aren't happy with the american system. and what a perfect series of events. take down our statues, take down our monuments. a war on history. take a war on law enforcement and create our own rules. this is all happening at one time with the coronavirus there looming. incredible. i just can't believe what this country is going through all at the same time, steve. steve: all right. more on that a little later on.

5:00 am
the death of george floyd and other black americans at the hands of police and now, he's just hours away from signing this executive order in the rose garden. it's going to be a very important moment for president trump and we now know that this executive order will call for the encouragement of police departments to employ the latest standard for use of force. it will improve information sharing about bad cops and it will create co-responder programs which would add social workers to law enforcement responses to non-violent cases things like involving drug addiction and homelessness. now in the rose garden expect there to be families of victims of police violence but also expect there to be a heavy presence from law enforcement. president trump: mostly great people i know so many of them, law enforcement but we will do better, even better, and we're going to try and do it fast. it's about law and order but it's about justice also, and it's about safety.
5:01 am
reporter: but already the president's 2020 rival joe biden says that this executive order does not go far enough. he tweeted last night, "race- neutral policies are not a sufficient response to race- based disparities. we need to tackle systemic racism head on and ensure every american has a fair shot at the american dream." now in addition to this executive order that president trump is signing today you also have senate republicans working on their own police reform proposal and that is expected tomorrow and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell wants a vote by july 4. the big question though, is will president trump support it? brian, ainsley and steve? ainsley: thank you so much, kristin let's bring in newt gingrich fox news contributor former speaker of the house and author of the upcoming book " trump and the american future" good morning. >> good morning. ainsley: you got to piggyback on your book title. what does the future look like for police reform?
5:02 am
>> oh, i think clearly the country is reaching a consensus that the there have to be steps taken to improve police training, to limit the chokehold s. i suspect there will be presently a requirement that every policeman has to have some kind of camera that's automatically on every time they are on active duty and i think there is an effort here to recognize that out of over 800,000 policemen, with vast overwhelming majority want to be good, solid police, doing the right things, and you've got to have some ability to get the system rid of people who are bad apples, and in the case of one of the people in the minneapolis, i think they had citation after citation after citation, and at that time , the contract with the union kept them in their job even though they clearly should not have been there any more, so i think you're going to see
5:03 am
serious effort around the country, to create a sort of a ability to get rid of that apple which candidly is also something that should be applied to the government schools of these big cities who also have provisions to block you from getting rid of people who are really bad teachers so it's a big problem in the bigger cities with the way their contracts are setup. brian: so they did criminal justice reform about a year ago. the president has already done that so that is part of his resume when he tries to get four more years. do you feel though as determined as this country is to do some type of law enforcement reform, democrats will fear giving the president another so-called law and order victory, stopping legislation in its tracks, before july? >> well, i mean, i have enormous respect for tim scott. i've known him for many many years, long before he got to the senate. i think he's going to produce a
5:04 am
solid responsible bill. my guess is he will go through the senate on a bipartisan basis and i hope that speaker pelosi will be able to actually work on a bipartisan basis and you have a country right now which has a very real problem in city after city and of course, some of it in portland is a good example. portland was the original home of antifa back in 2003 so it's not any great surprise that portland has a huge problem, because for years, the liberal politicians who run the city have backed off and given antifa more and more and more ability to cause trouble and now it's blowing up just as it did north of there in seattle. that's going to take a while to have a conversation about exactly what is going on and i think that you've also got to ask the question, which will be a newsletter i'm doing in the very near future. is our real goal here black
5:05 am
successor white guilt? the effort on the left is to run around chanting about white guilt and automatic white racism et cetera. i don't think it builds a single building or teaches a single child. i think what we ought to have and what the president was moving towards before covid was the lowest unemployment rate for african americans in history lowest unemployment rate for latinos. when everybody in the community can get a job and they want to have a real chance to rise you begin to have i think a much better situation and you get people who aren't quite as angry. steve: mr. speaker one week from today, john bolton who is the president's national security advisor is saying he's going to release his book called "the room where it happened" and the problem is for him according to the administration, apparently, he did not check all the boxes, did not get it completely cleared through the
5:06 am
administration, and national security council as well although the publisher says they did. here is the attorney general talking about this could be a big problem for him. >> i don't know of any book that's been published so quickly the thing that is front and center right now is trying to get him to complete the process, go through the process, and make the necessary deletions of classified information. we don't believe that bolton went through that process , hasn't completed the process and therefore, is in violation of that agreement. steve: okay so if you're john bolton, what do you do? i mean the publisher says we worked with the nsa but at the same time, they say this is the book donald trump doesn't want you to read, and donald trump is saying look, he said any conversation with me is classified. >> well, i think that there is a very serious issue about executive privilege and i've been frankly very surprised and
5:07 am
very disappointed in a way that investor bolton has pursued this and i've known john for many many years and i just think that this is so totally out of character for him, and he has a real potential legal problem. i mean, i don't think the attorney general is speaking for president trump as a candidate and the attorney general says we have a set of laws and a set of agreements and you have to go through this process. everybody else has to go through this process so why shouldn't john bolton have to go through this process and it's not up to his publisher to decide whether or not they've gone through the process. it's a legal problem. it's not a pr problem. ainsley:newt, great to see you thanks so much for being with us jillian is back in the studio with headlines for us hey. jillian: that's right good morning. north korea blowing up a diplomatic office near a southern border overnight. south korea' defense ministry releasing new video of the explosion just moments ago

steve: with more states rolling back restrictions this week, just today, georgia will be allowing gatherings of up to 50 people, that's progress while in missouri all statewide restrictions will be lifted, which they've been waiting for as we all are awaiting for , for a long time so what are some of the ways to limit your exposure to the virus going forward? here with answers dr. oz, host of the dr. oz show good morning to you. >> good morning to you, steve. steve: you know, eye been watching tv and so many people are talking about there's another spike in the number of cases. i'm looking at the cdc website and they say the percentage of specimens testing positive for covid 2 the virus that causes covid-19 increased slightly from last week but deaths are down. of course on wall street you hear oh, there could be a spike
5:15 am
there could be another wave. how do we protect ourselves? >> well if you look at total numbers of cases there are almost 20 states that have increased numbers and i do tie that back in part to the fact that we're releasing restriction s and folks are going back out again, but there are four states when i went through details that i could yesterday that are having increased hospitalizations, that are significant. they are really big increases and those are the ones that worry me because obviously that's a harbinger of the some of the folks going to the icu and some passing away so we don't want that so the real message in sweden has been saying this for a while. we didn't shutdown you're criticizing us, but at some point when you finally open up again you'll have to deal with the exact same issues we're dealing with. we're specifically dr. fauci endorsed this and we have to get serious about contact isolation when folks have gotten infected make sure we find out why it happened where it happened. beijing is going through it right now. they had an outbreak i'm told is the largest food market maybe in the world and they shut it down
5:16 am
and everyone around it whose been there and two weeks of quarantine so if we're aggressive right now as i counted the four states that are having significant increases in hospitalizations hopefully we'll limit the spread within those states so it won't spread to other states and so on and so forth. steve: sure from the beginning you've been with us for months talking about how you got to avoid the droplets when people talk or yell or anything like that, because it's the droplets but now they are talking about maybe it's the aerosol, when we talk, you know, we aerosol the covid if we are positive, and the worry is that that could actually stick around in a room for hours. >> well rooms including elevator rooms because you're in a small space, includes public transportation, those are the places that i worry about and i think the real message to everybody is focus on those major risks. the cdc just released guidelines on friday and basically what they are saying is don't crowd each other. don't eat at a buffet meal or
5:17 am
share food. try to avoid being in environments like a restroom, for example. it's not the manicure and pedicure you're getting when the plexiglass barrier is doing your nails but it's the waiting area to go in. it's not the dentist chair, it's the space you wait in before you can get into the doctor' office that's where the risks happen and hotels it's the lobby. that's where you're most crowded personally when i go to a restroom right now which is a place we all go i try to make sure it's not too crowded but if it is i breathe more slowly just don't inhale as much because we know this stuff gets aerosolized when you flush the toilet it can magnitsky any phase that impact as well. steve: let me ask you before you go about one thing the trump campaign will have a big rally in tulsa and apparently they are going to handout face masks and hand sanitizers and take people 's temperatures that's good, but the governor is talking about how they're looking for a bigger venue which would suggest they might do an outdoor stadium. given the fact that you're
5:18 am
talking about aerosol, wouldn't it make a lot more sense to do these big events outside? >> well it does appear that outdoor events of any kind seem to be safer in part because the wind blows the aerosolized droplets away and disburses them so they don't get densely inhaled by you if you're in a non-ventilated space that's a natural occurrence. we believe that's one of the reasons that for example, where we are here in new york and new jersey got hit so hard so yes outdoor venue be better but also, i want to be especially careful about the vulnerable members of the population. i put another op-ed out in forbes yesterday, focused on this group, but 95% of the pep hospitalized are vulnerable because they are obese, they have diabetes, they have hypertension, chronic lung issues and that's the population that absolutely has to stay out of the mainstream of american life which includes not going into places where you might be exposed to a super-spreader. it's those super-spreader moment s that worry me the most. i was in utah last week an that's the epicenter right now and there's a meat processing facility of over
5:19 am
1,000 employees and over 250 got sick, so that super-spreader event happened because of how they worked and took care of each other and it didn't work so you needed to shut that down. we want to avoid those going forward. steve: we'll see what the trump campaign does. dr. oz always a pleasure thank you very much. >> take care. steve: meanwhile, as we just mentioned the media calling president trump out for holding that rally despite coronavirus concerns but where were the concerns about protesters? tammy bruce wants to know about that. she's saying it's hypocritical and she's next.

coronavirus. ainsley: grady trimbul from our sister network fox business joins us live outside of a 24 hour fitness in carol stream, illinois with the latest. grady? reporter: good morning, brian and ainsley. this gym had its grand opening just days before the coronavirus shutdowns and now, it is shutting down for good, along with more than 100 other 24 hour fitness locations across across the country and in a u.s. naval nothing its bankruptcy filing the company says this process gives us the opportunity to reposition 24 hour fitness by eliminating debt and closing clubs that were either out of date or in close proximity with other 24 hour fitness clubs the company also said as it announced its bankruptcy filing that it allows it to secure $250 million in funding to reopen more than 300 of its locations. this becomes the second gym chain to file for bankruptcy during the pandemic. gold's gym did so last month, and the pandemic seems to be changing the way americans work out. if you plan to keep going to the gym, well you might see things
5:25 am
like temperature checks, and online reservation systems so they can enforce social distancing, and more stringent cleaning of equipment but many americans may never go back to a brick-and-mortar gym again. surveys indicate a lot of people are trying at home fitness for the very first time and plan to keep doing so even after stay-at-home restrictions are lifted companies like peloton benefiting from that who saw a 66% increase in sales in the most recent quarter and because of that, its stock is surging. brian and ainsley? ainsley: i believe it, thanks so much grady. well, tammy bruce is with us so let's get to this. president trump getting called out in the media for hosting a campaign rally despite coronavirus fears. >> trump is going to be in tulsa, yes, this tulsa where this is what's going on right now for a big rally, completely violating guidelines from his own government against large gatherings. >> particularly think it's a
5:26 am
bad idea for states already see ing increases in cases to then have these large, this perfect storm setup. ainsley: so now the media is facing its own criticism for not raising the same concerns over the mass protests across the country here to react is fox news contributor and fox nation host tammy bruce, good morning to you, tammy. >> good morning. a little bit of a technical issue here but it's great to be with you guys. ainsley: we hope we'll keep you for the whole segment let's try. okay, so, many people are bringing up this excellent point where was the media, where was their complaint when you had all these protesters that were shoulder-to-shoulder and now they are complaining about the president with these rallies and it hasn't even happened yet, the first rally so we're not even sure, will there be social distancing that kind of thing. what is your reaction? >> you know, i kind of got your question. let me just say this in general because i know what's happening here. is that there is some general understandable outrage at what seems to be political preferences when it comes to
5:27 am
social policy on the virus. we've seen remarkable rallies and events when it comes to like the brooklyn situation, with the jewish community, as well in williamsburg, and on one hand you've got thousands of people gathering where the mayor and the democrats seem to be fine and not concerned about coronavirus or anything else. on the other hand at the same time, ainsley, you've got a playground in williamsburg that the city welded shut to keep parents and children from the jewish community from being able to play at a playground on the same day when thousands of people are gathering for that black lives matter event and of course, we're also looking at a political difference between i guess preferences that if you align with the democratic party or liberal causes, you can do as you please, but for the president's rally, which has got a remarkable million

individuals who wanted to attend that is something that the media is now saying is dangerous. you never heard that, nor will you hear that, about gatherings and protests regarding democrats , social issues or racial issues, or major events that have been occurring that are not associated with the president or the president 's agenda, so you see the jewish community is having, they cut the bolts by the way on this playground to get in and of course the hipocracy when it comes to their attitudes who are major black lives matter rallies versus a gathering for the president of the united states and americans who simply want to be able to get on with their lives. ainsley: thank you so much, tammy you can get tammy bruce on fox nation, we'll see you soon. 28 minutes after the top of the hour coming up next we've got the vice president mike pence is going to join us live, next. i wanted more from my copd medicine, that's why i've got the power of 1,2,3 medicines with trelegy. the only fda-approved,

5:33 am
ainsley: we're back with this fox news alert, unrest breaking out on the streets of portland overnight. police making several arrests there as the protests turn violent. rioters throwing objects at officers and setting fires, brian. brian: now, one officer was sent to the hospital and got hit with a rock and got hit in the head. looters smashing a storefront window and stealing items inside. steve: meanwhile in the city of atlanta protesters surrounded the capitol building following the death of rayshard brooks, who was shot and killed by police last week. the police department is now released a 911 call that sent police to that parking lot at wendy's. >> what's going on? >> i have a car, i think he's intoxicated in the middle of my drive-thru. i tried to wake him up, but he's parked dead in the middle of the drive-thru, so i don't know what's wrong with him. >> is he breathing, ma'am, do
5:34 am
you know? >> yeah, he woke up looked at me. >> is he black, or white? >> he black. steve: well the mayor of atlanta a u.s. naval nothing new police training and policy reforms as she declared his death a murder. let's bring in the vice president of the united states, mike pence joins us from the eisenhower executive office building right next to the white house, mr. vice president good morning to you. >> good morning all good to be with you. steve: good to have you as well i know you've got a busy day you're going to iowa, meet with the governor there, tour the winnebago plant, because this is a big summer for rv's but today, mid-day the president is going to announce his executive order regarding police reform. i know you don't want to get ahead of him with too many details but generally for the people watching today what's it going to do? well let's begin where this all began. i mean, what happened to george floyd in minneapolis was a national tragedy and a disgrace,
5:35 am
but the violent protesting and looting that ensued what we saw in portland, oregon last night is also a disgrace and totally unacceptable with the american people so what the president and i have done over the last two weeks is sit down with law enforcement sit down with leader s in the african community here in washington and around the country and today in the rose garden the president will take decisive action and sign an executive order that will set into motion, new resources, new standards on the use of force, a way to be able to track when we see inappropriate use of force and also resources to encourage using other public officials like social workers and interaction with the public. these are all from what we've heard both from law enforcement from leaders in the african american community and today, even as congress considers
5:36 am
legislation, our great friend senator tim scott is working on a bill in the senate. the president is going to take this action to assure the american people that we're listening, we're supporting law enforcement, we're not going to defund the police, quite the contrary. we're going to fund new resources to help departments obtain certifications that improve standards for the use of force, improve training on deus kanye west legislation and that's exactly what the american people want us to do. ainsley: mr. vice president let's talk about the rally on saturday in tulsa, oklahoma. the governor said he might move the venue because so many people are interested in going, brad pa rscale are saying more than 1 million people are requesting tickets so how will you do this? i know you'll handout sanitizer and masks and taking temperature s. how do you plan on doing this and pulling it off while mitigating the site? >> well we chose the state of oklahoma really for two reasons. number one is because it really
5:37 am
is time, ainsley, for us to begin this campaign. the president wants to be out, he wants to be connecting to our supporters and as you just indicated, literally over a million people have signed up to try and obtain an opportunity to come and attend the rally. we're working with governor sted i talked to him again last night we talked about the venue and make sure people have hand sanes and do temperature screenings and also make masks available to people that are attending the event but look, the freedom of speech, the right to assemble is in the first amendment of the constitution and the president and i are very confident that we're going to be able to restart these rallies and tell the story of what this president has done through these unprecedented times but also over the last three and a half years, and drive toward a
5:38 am
great victory on november 3. brian: mr. vice president, as you look at these rallies in the streets and we don't, no one , i don't know anybody has is supportive of the violence and the damages done to a city that's already been shutdown with this pandemic. i know that your administration has presided over record before the pandemic, unemployment with the minority community especially in black communities but right now do you believe it's harder to for someone whose black to make it in this country whether they're man or woman? do you think it's harder for them to make in this country in 2020? well, brian, i love your question, because i saw where joe biden last night actually tweeted that everybody ought to have a fair shot at the american dream, and it's one of the reasons why as the president and i, as the president spoke in dallas last week, he's made it clear that while we're going to take a step today to provide new resources to law enforcement, to
5:39 am
help them embrace higher standards on deescalation, and the use of force, and establish an information sharing, i mean you know as i said, nobody hates bad cops more than good cops and most of the men and women who put on the uniform of law enforcement every day are really the best of us. we know that, so we're going to take these steps today, to help improve policing, to help move that process forward as a country in the wake of these tragic events and the violence that ensued but we're not going to stop there, brian. i mean, biden said everybody ought to have a fair shot at the american dream. well we would say well why don't you support allowing african american families where these kids go to school. this president actually stood strong for school choice and we doubled the educational choice program in our nations capitol and we really do believe that
5:40 am
you shouldn't be denied the ability to choose where your kids go to school just because of your zip code or because of your income. we also as you said under this president's policy, we had the lowest unemployment level ever-recorded for african americans. we worked with senator tim scott to enact opportunity zones. now there's more than 4,000 opportunity zones that have attracted $100 billion of investment into our cities. we're going to continue to drive forward on jobs and opportunity. i mean, we understand the media narrative around this time and the negativity around this time, but as i sat down with african american leaders in pittsburgh, in maryland as the president welcomed leaders here to the white house and in dallas, i think millions of african americans saw the progress that we were making over the last three years and they know as we
5:41 am
bring this economy back in the make of not just these tragic events and the violence that ensued but in the wake of course of this coronavirus pandemic, that its president, donald trump, who has the prescription for more prosperity, more educational opportunity, and really, more access to the american dream than 50 years of democrat leadership under the likes of joe biden has ever given them. steve: mr. vice president you mentioned the coronavirus pandemic. some states are opening faster than others. north carolina not as fast as you would like and that's why you have pulled the big balloon drop for the rnc from north carolina and it's now going to be in jacksonville, in the month of august. look let me ask you about this. regarding and this goes back to ainsley's question about what you're going to be doing in tulsa. i know the governor is looking at the venue, because you had 1 million people apply. why don't you do some of the
5:42 am
stuff outside? a great big stadium. i mean, brian and i were in denver back in 2008 when barack obama accepted his party's nomination at broncos stadium i think there was 75,000 or 80,000 people outdoors and i only suggest outdoors, because we just had dr. oz on about a half an hour ago and he said when you're in an enclosed place with a lot of people yelling and you do hope there's a lot of yelling and cheering at the rally in a couple of days, you have the aerosol and that stays in the air for hours, so just in the interest of public safety, maybe you do it outside going forward. >> well steve, you know, you raise a good point and what i can tell you is it's all a work in progress. we've had such an overwhelming response that we're also looking at another venue, we're also looking at outside activities and i know the campaign team will keep the public informed as that goes forward, but it's
5:43 am
one of the reasons why that we're going to do the temperature screening and we're going to provide hand sanitizers and provide masks for people that are attending, but the other reason i'm saying to ainsley, one of the reasons that we chose oklahoma is because oklahoma has done such a remarkable job in reopening their state. the good news is that all 50 states and the territories in this country are now reopened to one degree or another. we're seeing across-the-board in the country hospitalizations are declining, most importantly, our fatalities are declining, but in the state of oklahoma, we've really seen a tremendous amount of progress. i think the numbers this morning showed the state had some 8,500 positive cases over all but only about 1,500 of those cases were still active and less than 200
5:44 am
people in the hospital. that is a tribute to the people of oklahoma, the progress we made as a country is a tribute, i think, to the president's leadership and the guidance and mitigation efforts that we promoted to governors but it's mostly a tribute to the fact that the american people put the health of their families and their neighbors and people that they didn't know at all first, and it's that common sense that americans continue to put into practice every day that i'm sure the people will put into practice come this saturday that's going to keep oklahoma and keep all of america on a tragically of safely reopening america which is exactly what we're doing. ainsley: mr. vice president let's talk about the convention because you've moved it from north carolina there will be a few things that happen there because of the contracts but you've really moved it down to jacksonville where the president will give his speech. what is that going to look like? can you give us more details? >> well i'll tell you the rnc
5:45 am
is working out those details and i think there will still be some events in charlotte and the president and i are, we're really disappointed that we can't have the whole convention in north carolina but the reality is that north carolina is not willing to give us the assurance that by convention date that in august we'd be able to bring people together and so a combination of some official activities in charlotte and then major speeches in jacksonville i think will be a great, great kickoff to the fall campaign and i hope your viewers i know there's some other networks out there that like to publish maps, they like to show entire states blocked red as cases are growing, but as we told governors yesterday, the reality is theres roughly only 11 counties in america out
5:46 am
of more than 3,100 counties that are seeing acceleration in new cases and less than 2% of the counties in the entire country are seeing significant increase in cases. that's a tribute to the american people. it's a tribute to the progress that we are making and the reality is as we told governors yesterday, as we go into this summer season, we're deploying cdc personnel, deploy ing resources to essentially focus on those outbreaks but we've made great progress as a nation and i think the american people could be encouraged that in the weeks and months ahead every day we're going to continue to put the coronavirus farther in the past. we're going to safely reopen america and we're going to have a great election this fall. brian: mr. vice president i know it's june. you've got until november, but even rassmussen, which has been
5:47 am
kind to republicans especially your administration, the president's administration has you trailing by double figures. do you look at yourself right now as trailing to joe biden? >> well i see all of those poll s and i've got to tell you brian. i'm having flashbacks to 2016. when i was added to this ticket at the national convention i don't know there was ever a poll that ever had president donald trump leading in the election and i feel like we're going back to the future in polling again. what i saw in the pittsburgh area last week and the president went up to maine and literally the streets were lined 10 deep and the response we've gotten today as i head out to iowa, i just have to tell i sent a tremendous amount of enthusiasm despite present company accepted , present network accepted, despite the
5:48 am
overwhelming opposition not just from democrats but from their allies in the media, i sent a tremendous amount of enthusiasm around the country. it's one of the reasons the president and i were anxious to get back out and start telling the story about safely reopening, to get back out and do a rally and to reconnect with the american people and i have every confidence that president trump, taking that message, all of us taking that message all across the country, the american people are going to give us four more years to make america great again, again. steve: mr. vice president thank you very much for spending time with us i know you're going to mason city, iowa to the winnebag o plant where eve got relatives that work there so have a safe trip. >> i'll look for them. thank you. steve: thank you, sir meanwhile as the president plans to announce that executive order today that we were talking to the vice president about what really needs to be done to
5:49 am
reform police community relations? jack brewer says the president has already taken the first step , he's going to join us live with that coming up, but first sandra smith with a preview of coming attractions. >> sandra: hey, steve. nice to see you this morning good morning, everyone. we are awaiting remarks from the president, president trump set to speak live from the rose garden this morning, or this afternoon, 12 p.m. eastern time, as he signs an executive order on policing for safe communities. we'll have that for you, plus the latest from atlanta after police release the 911 phone call that sent police to the wendy's restaurant where rayshard brooks was killed what it is revealing as the brooks family attorney joins ed and me, live. steve scalise from the state of la is here, maria bartiromo for the opening bell, dr. nicole saphier on a possible second wave of the virus and homeland security secretary chad wolf all our guests join ed and me top of the hour. discomfort back there?

brian: we just heard from the vice president of the united states talking about the executive order the president will rollout at noon today. jack brewer is the spokesperson for the national association of police athletic leagues and joins us now, and jack, your assessment of the four main principles that the president rolls out today. >> well, matthew 23:11 says the
5:54 am
greatest amongst you will be your servant and i think today you'll see a bill that calls unplace to be more of that servant, i think it calls on more fairness, i think it calls on more community policing. you know, working in police athletic leagues across the country and seeing so many police officers go out and help these kids go into the communities and help the broken that's what policing is all about. i think we need to break down these walls and that also takes the politicians, the mayors have to love on their police chiefs and their police departments. we can't have all this rift around the country with folks opposing all police officers for the act of a few. brian: jack, i'll bring you to this. one of the principles that you can embrace, they talk about co- respondent services, social workers who may be better equipped to have people who have substance abuse problems mental health or homeless issues.
5:55 am
is that practical? >> it is it's serving because in some situations you need professionals who are equipped for that individual. some folks just reporter: dangerous but oaths are but there will be a difficult balance sometimes you need both and a combination of both because you can't put our law enforcement officers and our service members in danger so i think they got to be careful with that but i think after a while, once they've had time to actually implement some of these new changes we'll be able to take a step back and make a better analysis. brian: yeah, i guess we'll have a chance to do that jack brewer along with the vice president i appreciate you being a little patient with us. we want to get you to weigh in on what the president is going to say and get a jack brewer preview. thanks for joining us this morning. >> i appreciate it brian god bless you guys. brian: you got it meanwhile more "fox & friends" in just a moment. open road and telling people that liberty mutual customizes your insurance, so you only pay for what you need!
