good morning to you, i'm sandra smith. authority is releasing that 911 call from a wendy's employee reported brooks' car blocking traffic at a wendy's drive-through. meanwhile the president is saying his executive action which would be unveiled soon will be comprehensive and address some of the most comprehensive issues on policing. >> what the president has done over the last two weeks a sit down with law enforcement at saddam's leaders of the african community here in washington and around the country. today in the rose garden the president will take decisive action and signed an executive order which will set into motion new resources, new standards on the use of force. >> sandra: fox team coverage, jonathan serrie is live in atlanta with an update on the ryszard brooks case. john roberts is live on the

north one. >> it will be 12 noon in the rose garden when the that is signed. it encompasses three main ideas, creating credentialing and certification standards for police forces to adopt of best practices. a lot of training materials we are told are outdated and it would also be federal incentives for police forces to update. the second piece of it is information sharing, checking people with excessive use of force complaint so that i have bad cop can't leave one law enforcement agency enjoying another. the fourth part of this is coresponder programs where homelessness, addiction and others would join police on certain calls and there would be federal incentives for police forces to adopt that as well. his president trump from yesterday on the overall goals of this executive order. speak to the overall goal is we

want law and order and we want it done fairly and justly. we want law and order but it's also about justice. >> as a vice president mention months ago th the presidents wok together with faith leaders, law enforcement agencies and the families of victims of police use of force and we are told that all of those representatives, not all of them but representatives from the three segments will be in the rose garden today. the president also weighing in yesterday on the killing of rayshard brooks o in atlanta ovr the weekend. >> president trump: i thought it was terrible, i'm not going to compare things but i thought it was a terrible situation and i studied it closely. i will get some reports done today, very strong reports and will have a little more to say about it tomorrow but certainly to me it was very disturbing. >> the president also said in his cabinet room that between what was being developed in the house in the senate we should see over the next few weeks a comprehensive approach to

reforming the use of force by police agencies. >> sandra: okay, we will see the president a short time from now, john roberts of the white house. >> ed: and fox news alert, authorities releasing the 911 call that led to that deadly confrontation between rayshard brooks and police outside of wendy's in atlanta on friday night. it is. >> 125 at university southwest, at the wendy's? >> yes, ma'am. >> the police. i have a car, i think he's intoxicated. >> ed: atlanta police also releasing discipline histories for the two police officers a in that shooting. the d.a. could make a criminal charge as early as tomorrow. the brooks family meanwhile speaking out during a very emotional news conference. >> there is no justice that can ever make me feel happy about what's been done.

i can ever get my husband back, i can never get my best friend. i can never tell my daughter that is coming to take you skating, or to swimming lessons. >> tomorrow we are going to have to deal with it again. tomorrow we have to bury him, and we have to apologize for not telling him that we loved and that much. speed limit jonathan serrie's life. >> the atlanta mayor says that she is angry about the police involved shooting that unfolded in this parking lot behind me. so she is taking action. she signed some administrative orders to implement immediate reforms and police training and policy. take a listen. >> is very clear that police officers are to be guardians and not warriors within their

community. >> the new policies prioritize de-escalation techniques over the use of force and require police to report all uses of deadly force and require them to intervene when they see a fellow officer using force improperly. internal affairs documents show that garrett roth who was terminated after shooting rayshard brooks received a written reprimand back in 2017 for use of force involving a firearm. devon broxton has no disciplinary history and police have released the number one call that brought both officers to the wendy's parking lot with brooks was sleeping in a car. >> is in the middle of my drive-through, i tried to wake him up but he is parked dead in the middle of the drive-through so i don't know what's wrong with him. >> brooks leaves behind a wife and kids ranging in age from one

through 18. electric tyler. he says he will pay for brooks' funeral and also finance a college education of all four children. >> ed: in the brooks family attorney will join us live next hour to discuss the case and what their version of justice looks like. that is top of the 10:00 a.m. hour. sandra? >> sandra: we will look forward to that. meanwhile congressional lawmakers are looking to find common ground on police reform a qualified immunity could be a major sticking point. they sue police officers of the of wrongdoing. congressman steve scalise is the minority whip and he joins us now. good morning and thanks for being here. obviously there are many sticking points in many areas of debate over how to reform the police in this country but one of the biggest questions of the that the american people have is can there be meaningful bipartisan reform for all of that. >> there really can, and in fact

there have been a lot of good conversations between members of republican and the house and the senate. you will see the president roll out some significant reform on his own. at least those things that can be done administratively, and we need to keep working at this and make sure that what we do goes after bad cops and stops these bad practices that we are seeing but also make sure we don't undermine the work that law enforcement officers do on a daily basis to protect community and do things right way, way to keep us safe. >> sandra: is pending qualified immunity off the table for you, congressman? >> if you look at qualified immunity, for someone who crosses the line and does things a long way for bad cops, that something that should be in place. when you look at a lot of these communities it doesn't protect

the bad cops but qualified immunity is something that applies to a lot of people in public sector employment, not just for police officers. let's look at those things that, again, banning choke hold to something without a lot of agreement about. why don't we focus on getting some real things done. not a bill that was driven by partisanship of bills that can actually get to the president's desk and be signed into law and address these problems that we are seeing in communities where they need to do better training and they need to do things to address these problems. and there is consensus to start getting that done >> sandra: sounds like some area of agreement there. your colleague tim scott in the senate and others have also said that. meanwhile as we see protests continue across the country there is continued concern over the spread of covid-19. you've taken pull of particular interest in the situation in nursing homes, the president

holding the discussion on what happened and preventing what happened in the future. >> president trump: we delivered $81 million for increased inspections and provided every medicare certified nursing home with shipments of personal protective equipment. we are working very, very hard with the governors of the states on their nursing homes because obviously it was a very sad situation and they were caught unaware. >> sandra: and resell it have been a new york, 6,000 nursing home staff here, over 40% of all deaths related to covid-19 from nursing home patients. congressman, you have taken particular interest in this, nursing home deaths in new york are 500% higher than florida and new jersey is at 1120% higher

than florida. what are we doing about it and what can we learn from the mistakes of the past that led to that? >> sandra, there are some heartbreaking examples in the states that we've seen where they did not follow the guidelines. cms issued guidelines to states, and we saw most states follow those guidelines are right way but there were a few states where they went their own direction. in fact if they required that if someone was a covert positive that they had to be and sent back to the nursing home and expressly prohibited the nursing home from even checking to see if they were covid positive and in those states we saw deadly results. i'm talking about thousands of people that died in nursing homes in those states that should have never died. if the states would have followed the guidelines meaning if you have someone covid positive, you don't send them back to the nursing home at the nursing home can't properly isolate and take care of them

and yet that's the mandate that these governors gave. i have asked that we bring those governors in and asked them why they violated the guidelines and they gave these mandates that ended up killing thousands of seniors in each of their states. we are talking about tens of thousands of seniors who have should not have died. over 40% of covid deaths in america came from nursing homes and nursing homes only represent about .6% of the american population so clearly there was a major problem in a major in michigan, they are still doing this. they should ended that practice today and so that's important that we get this out there. some of the states hid the data from us and we are trying to get that data out there for the public to see. >> sandra: the big question will be whether or not they ignored the protocols of those states that you listed in this letter. or, in the case of andrew cuomo of new york said he was following federal guidelines,

and many people i've already called him out on that, it was not the case. but do you believe he ignored protocols or do you believe mistakes were made? >> in the hearing we have the last week, we showed cms guidelines. and it new york violated those protocols. they went a different direction and they have explained why they did but the protocols are out there. most states follow them. again, this isn't a case of trying to figure out on your own, the federal guidelines were clear but about 40 states follow them properly and a few states to their own thing. new york and new jersey's supporters were almost cut and paste identical so clearly some of these governors were collaborating and said we didn't need to listen to the feds, we will do our own thing. those governors ought to explain themselves not hiding behind some bubble come out in a public hearing like this, show us the rest of the data that they are hiding from the public about the

real transparent issues on what happened in these nursing homes. >> sandra: i know you plan to get to the bottom of that. so we will see what comes from all that. congressman steve scalise, we appreciate your time this morning. >> ed: fox news alert, tensions escalating on the korean peninsula this morning after than north korea blows up a joint liaison office building that was one of its few diplomatic links to south korea. plus of the nypd announcing a

seismic shift in this culture amid calls for police reform. they are now disbanding a plainclothes team formed to aggressively crackdown on violence. there is a crime that is coming to the city and others? that's next. >> how do you make the change, how do you turn that energy into a positive source and we are doing that in new york. it's a new day for veterans all across america. mortgage rates have now fallen to all time lows. that's good news for veterans with va loans. that's me. by using your va streamline refi benefit, one call to newday usa can save you $2,000 a year. that's me. there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. that's me. put your va home loan benefits to good use. call my team at newday usa.

>> sandra: three nypd officers hospitalized after drinking milk shakes believed to be contaminated with bleach. after thorough investigation police determined there was no criminality by employees. there are reports and improperly cleaned milk shake machine may

be to blame. the officers are said to not be seriously hurt. >> ed: meanwhile the and nypd making some big changes announcing its closing as undercover anti-crime unit and reassigning all of them, roughly 600 officers to other teams citing the need to rebuild trust between officers and the community has protests for reform continue for a third straight week in new york city. >> these are the plainclothes units that operate our traditional antichrist. effective immediately we will be transitioning those units, roughly 600 people citywide. this is a seismic shift in the culture of how the nypd polices this great city. i would consider this in the realm of closing one of the last chapters of stop, question and frisk. speakman and councilmen, good morning. >> this is a shocking story because it comes in this context. new york post article, ove overe month until june 7th including the crucial memorial day

weekend, new york's murder rate more than doubled to 42 murderers from a team leader before, adult of 133%. shooting victims including the wounded are up 45% and stabbings are up to. why in the world would police commissioner at this time to side all going to do away with the anti-violent crime unit? >> it's not a good day if you can't care about reducing crime and overall public safety. the 600 officers are spread out across the city and they are tasked with one thing and that's going after the worst of the worst violent thugs and criminals. their job is not always pretty. they use intelligence, and the eight took the city's murder rate to what it wasn't 2003 when the program started and they cut it in half over the last 17 years. we should be buying these guys as a beer rather than disbanding

the unit but i suspect this is more about commissioner shea perhaps trying to protect these cops more than anything else. >> ed: as you know mayor de blasio has been under fire and he's talking about defunding the police in the sense of not abolishing but moving funds around it which is not sitting well with a lot of people. interesting op-ed in "the new york times" over the weekend, yes. we mean that literally abolish the police we want to make them obsolete. we solve problems by policing and caging people that many people can't even imagine anyone other than the police solutions to of violence and harm. these are cops that are going after the worst of the worst.

these are people investigating folks stealing candy from a shop. these are people going after the gang leaders and violent thugs who cause the violent crimes and shooting in both city. these are the people that we should be praising, these are the people that we should be expanding. but they realize these events oftentimes do get into shootin shootings, and you can't otherwise protect cops. >> "the wall street journal" points out that commissioner shea and others are going to push back and point out that it was this very unit that was involved in the death of eric garner here in new york city. did they fail to make the necessary forms to move forward? >> this state just passed an

anti-choke hold law and that this progress on that front and there wasn't any attempt to undermine justice. some orthodox jews were upset that the city shut this down, they want the kids going to the playground and you see the people rallying around, and letting people get back outside. your thoughts on what is happening in the city in cities around the country? >> we are seeing the height of hypocrisy. when it's a business owner opening up a business a little bit or a bunch of jewish kids trying to go play on the slide to, it's don't make me come down there, we are going to go after

you. when it's hundreds of thousands of protests around the city, those things are just excepted, allowed and encouraged. we can't live in this double standard world especially if there's any chance we might have to lock down again if this very real threat does come back from the virus. >> ed: joe borelli, we appreciate your thoughts this morning. thank you. >> sandra: during up for a very busy day on wall street, 6 minutes away from the opening bell and it looks like a big surge in stocks. when the bell rings a few moments for now, and 800-point gain is setting up. so what are we in store for on wall street this morning? maria bartiromo will be joining us for the opening bell in moments. plus, the d.o.t. releasing a new ad saying president trump is stoked racial division in america. is that fair? our panel will weigh in on that just ahead. >> when he speaks and gives credibility to these racist

folks out there, they come up out with rocks. at mercedes-benz, nothing less than world-class

service will do. that's why we're expanding your range of choices. many dealers now offer optional pick-up & delivery and at-home maintenance, as well as online shopping with home delivery and special finance arrangements. so, whether you visit your local dealer or prefer the comfort of home you can count on the very highest level of service. get 0% apr financing up to 36 months on most models, and 90-day first-payment deferral on any model. >> ed: of more than 50 liberal groups have now sent a letter to joe biden calling out the democratic nominee for his recent protests against police brutality urging him to make it much more aggressive steps on police reform or risk losing the votes he needs to win in november.

peter doocy is live with more detail. >> joe biden is taking it from both sides on this issue. you got members of police unions who helped him craft that 1994 crime bill, and activists who have been calling recently to defund the police. some of those activists wrote him a letter that's published in "the washington post" and part of it says, you cannot win the election without the enthusiastic support of black voters and how you act in this moment of crisis will play a big role in determining how black voters and all voters concerned with racial justice responded to your candidacy. this is the big issue that those activists have it with biden. last week he wrote this in usa today. they are proposing $300 million to reinvigorate community policing in every single police department should have the money it needs to institute real reforms like adopting a national use of force standard, and recruiting more diverse police officers.

and, add unarmed police officers to that list as well. >> when you were finding unity policing the crime weight rate went down and the extent of brutality went down as well because people know who is in the community. it's much bigger than that and it's complicated but i think we should turn over as much as we can to let nonarmed police officers to de-escalate things related to mental illness, homelessness and drug abuse. >> one way to measure how much things have changed in one year, and, thank you. the markets open just about a minute and a half ago, and

looking to extend and the federal reserve and that will help soften the financial blow from covid-19. all of this is president trump and the administration are reportedly weighing a $1 trillion infrastructure plan to help spur the american economy. maria bartiromo, and she joins us now. what a rally this is, this may retail sales number, up 17.7% for the month of may. 8% was the expectation so they showed that there was pent up demand after an almost full shutdown of the economy that people came out in droves. >> they sure did. erasing that pent-up demand play out. and the stores reopen little by little in the coming months.

what we need to focus on is what happens when the stimulus goes away. in july and august, once we get through the reopening's and get through all the stimulus money, much of this remember is part of the fact of the cares act. and as well as the cares act, and money directly to consumers. when you look at the year-over-year numbers you had a 23% decline in furniture sales, 31% decline in electronics, 63% decline in clothing, 2 26 drop n department, and you are really talking about outdoor activity. and this is better-than-expect

better-than-expected, and that's a two and a half million increase in jobs for the last month when everybody was expecting job losses. i would say the recovery is on and this is the beginning of this. >> and that's an increase of all times. it looks like a big day for the stock market. the federal reserve stepped in as they have been, and wanted to ensure that companies could tap the bond market for funds. and it, there are questions like this.

this is an investment broker, and that will help the situation. feds will to everything under the power to help th the for the time being, is a growing concern is getting propped up by the fed and underline fundamentals? >> at some point the chickens will come home to roost. on the high end of anybody's expectations. and now they are nearing the overall sides of the economy with the stimulus and with all

of this debt. as a result we will have to see some revenue coming in in the coming years. interest rates are low. as rates go up, the government is going to see higher interest payments. so, at some point whether it's higher taxes or a pullback in certain services you are going to be given the shutdown. they have to get revenue by things like higher taxes, and then we will be watching of course. >> look at the food services entering business showed 20%. in all of that boosting markets

here. >> ed: in seattle is hoping for peaceful resolution as occupation protest surrounding the police the precinct goes into its second week. antic, biden is looking to president barack obama. >> we raise between the trump campaign and the rnc $14 million online in just that one day. so what does that tell you? it tells you that people are enthusiastic about his candida candidacy. apps are used everywhere...

except work. why is that? is it because people love filling out forms? maybe they like checking with their supervisor to see how much vacation time they have. or sending corporate their expense reports. i'll let you in on a little secret. they don't. by empowering employees to manage their own tasks,

paycom frees you to focus on the business of business. to learn more, visit paycom.com >> ed: the fund-raising war is escalating in the trump campaign, recording its single best online fund-raising day yet. they brought in $14 million on the president's fourth birthday

sunday. meanwhile joe biden saw a big surge in may raising nearly $81 million last month alone. let's bring in our panel, juan williamjuan williams, and , and a fox news contributor. gentlemen, good morning. >> good morning. >> ed: i will throw this up on the screen. cash on hand, the rnc trump campaign, $253 million. the dnc and the biden campaign just $97 million and you look at that and you see the president salida. and i think they are building on momentum. apparently the former president is going to head to a virtual fund-raising event. and the amazing thing about this 80.8 million in the month of m

of may, and it comes at a time, apparently, have you retracted it a great number of new people. i think it's something like half of the donors, those are a lot of positive indicators, i don't think it's building momentum. it's a potential strategy, and we think he's got the edge on money, and that the campaigns script emerging. those are three years

celebrating recovery, and proclaim himself the candidate of "law & order." >> obviously president obama and everybody else is going to get in the end is do everything they can to help biden. it will be a titanic struggle and anyone who thinks that this thing is in the bag, for either side, is diluting themselves. it's going to get really, really nasty between now and election day. i will say that a major difference between now of course president trump and vice president biden is, everything that president trump has is very much earned.

you have the political elite intense, and very much more people power to. and it's a major fight that we will see going forward. when then candidate donald trump first came down the escalator, trump tower, the dnc is celebrating this you may say. it's got a pretty nasty add about the escalator moment and what came next. >> a white house and chaos losing 300,000 jobs in a failed trade war with china, locking children in cages. he ignored science on coronavirus and misled the american people stating it would

moderate miraculously go away, but it didn't. >> ed: you got a cemetery and caskets, no mention of democratic governors and nursing homes. is that really a fair shot? >> i think what charlie is saying is right, all's fair in war and politics and love. as far as fairness i think it could have been even rougher in terms of the trump administration's record, and terms of handling the virus. there's a lot of criticism there from all sides but i think that you are going to get a lot of static from both sides and i think again, charlie is right about the money. the money as they are. thing i would point out is the biden campaign social media presence has been weak until now. and the president on the contrary has at a very strong social president mike presence. in fact brad parscale has ran his social media during his 2016 campaign.

in fact, biden has caught up there and that's a big green light for joe biden and his campaign. >> ed: it's not like the president has kid gloves and will be soft on twitter or anywhere else, you will be will be rough-and-tumble as well but what do you think about that addict? >> absolutely. a problem with it isn't that it's rough or top so mike tough, it's that it's stupid and dishonest. and, and, when president trump banned flights from non-americans, what do we hear from the left, and it was a xenophobic move and it's absurd. it the smacks of desperation,

and the democrats realize that joe biden has a real problem on their hands when it comes to china, and when it comes to a lot of these other issues and trying to lay the groundwork for somehow forcing those problems onto president trump. when they get into the meat of this, that's not going to be the firm ground that democrats find to stand on, and i expect as you point out, with trump, >> the debates will be pretty interesting. >> i disagree with you on this one. >> thank you, ada. a new cdc study on how dangerous covid-19 p is for patients with underlying conditions. i look at the data and the most

common health issues reported of those hospitalized and who died, next. retirement plan ride out turbulent times. learn more at protectedincome.org. for people with heart failure taking entresto, it may lead to a world of possibilities. entresto is a heart failure medicine prescribed by most cardiologists. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. heart failure can change the structure of your heart so it may not work as well. entresto helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body.

>> sandra: the cdc releasing brand-new studies showing people with underlying health conditions are six times more likely to be hospitalized from covid-19 and 12 times more likely to die from the disease than healthy patients. let's bring in dr. nicole saphier, fox news contributor. always good to have you here. it seems this is something we've heard along the way but now we have really hard evidence. according to the studies showing those that were hospitalized versus those who died in the underlying diseases they had, cardiovascular disease of all covid-19 cases, 32% had it. diabetes, 30% of the patients had.

chronic lung disease, 18% had it. if you are a healthy individual, do you need to be is concerned about contracting the disease? >> this is great news coming out of the cdc and we looked at 1.3 million patients. they show about 15% were hospitalized, and we continue to know more about the virus, and that's why it is so crucial to protect our elderly. they are extremely vulnerable but also those with pre-existing conditions. as you mentioned, heart disease, lung disease and diabetes. unfortunately the united states has a chronic illness problem, and that's what my entire book is about. this enables us to move forward, though we know how to protect our elderly and we know how to protect our vulnerable. so the vast majority of healthy americans continue to go out but we have to remember that they are possibly able to bring it

back to their home especially if you are in a multigenerational family. you have to care for those that are vulnerable because this is a severe virus and those that are elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions. so we continue to go out and we should be opening up schools again but we have to keep in mind how to protect those who could potentially have a severe course when it comes to this novel coronavirus. >> sandra: all such great advice. the healthier we are it appears the more we can fight this off but was still we have to protect our vulnerable population which makes wearing masks on airplanes even more key according to the united airlines. they will not only implement a mount mask policy, but they are this. any passenger that does not comply on board a flight with united will be placed on an internal travel restriction list. customers on that list will lose their travel privileges for a

duration of time to be determined with a comprehensive incident reviewed. do you expect other airlines to follow suit and should they? >> this is consumerism at its best. they will be safe in doing so. that's a tight space on an airplane. >> i asked you just have a few questions. the bounce wrinkle guard shorts have fewer wrinkles and static, and more softness. it's the world's first mega sheet that does the job of three dryer sheets. it also comes in unscented.

>> sandra: at fox news alert, seattle seeking a peaceful resolution as protesters enter their second week occupying several blocks around an abandoned police precinct. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newroom," on this tuesday morning. i am sandra smith. >> ed: i met henry. at city officials are hoping to open up and shrink the protest zone. negotiating with activists navigating the dense area known as capitol hill. the top concern is safety for the people inside. chief police calling for compromise and hoping to get tensions from boiling over. >> i think more important than having those officers back in the east precinct. you are asking the current situation, but that'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. >> sandra: meanwhile the owner of an auto shop near an occupied zone saying nobody showed up after they called 911 to report a break-in. >> ed: dan is live outside of that i will shop this morning. >> it went down sunday night and it's a clear and scary example of what can happen when the police do not respond because of the city's leadership. it happened at this auto repair shop in seattle just outside, about a block down from the occupation protest. the owners caught a guy who was armed with a knife in the act of stealing money and car keys and setting a fire inside of the shop. they detained him while armed himself and called seattle police. they never showed up to take the suspect in custody and an angry mob broke down the fence demanding the suspect be released. eventually, the owner complied

and no shots were fired. >> i am very shaken. i'm very disappointed in the city's leadership and i'm very disappointed in the lack of police protection. i'm very disappointed that the fire department didn't show up. >> without police to enforce law and order we saw a case of street justice, a group of armed men from the protest zone surrounding the thief and arsonist. and he was beaten by the so-called security team. he chose not to >> we have to thread the needle here. we don't want to have a competition that ends up with more people hurt. >> meanwhile in portland, police are trying to protect their headquarters in the court building after an officer was injured last night by a thrown brick. they broke up the intercourse with a flash bang device.

there was also a fire set in the street and a store window broken and that story is looted. as you alluded to at the top of the hit, police are trying to shrink the size of this protest on because they want to be able to get inside easily if there is a problem. we saw last night or sunday night, even with an incident outside of the protest zone they are being cautious and not going to help these business owners. they had to take it upon themselves and then of course she said street justice doled out after that. >> ed: at dan springer, thank you. >> sandra: the family of rayshard brooks speaking out about his death in an emergency news conference yesterday. he was killed during an altercation in the wendy's parking lot. that officer has since been fired and the city's police chief has stepped down. the brooks family saying he did not have to die. now, all eyes are on the district attorney to see if you

will file charges against the officers involved in that shooting. let's bring an air headliner this morning, chris stewart, attorney for the brooks family. thanks so much for being here on "america's newsroom." what can you tell us of the family is seeing this morning and what do they want to see happen? >> right now it's just a lot of pain, dealing with the father of four that has been gone, the husband, a brother and a son. there's a lot of heartache and confusion on what is justice. so it's just a lot of pain. >> ed: our condolences to the family of course, we played live the news conference yesterday where you were there and it was very, very emotional. i want to ask about the investigation. do you know the circumstances around why rayshard brooks took the taser gun? we've had some experts on same, if you take a taser gun and you fire it, you could incapacitate

an officer and then take their weapon. obviously that would be a bad situation. law enforcement obviously needs to be able to defend themselves. what do you know about the tas taser? >> definitely, law enforcement always needs to be able to defend themselves and we don't know why the confrontation began. but we do know is talking to his wife, and his wife watched the george floyd video constantly. all of us in this country, we were disgusted and scared about it. george floyd was in handcuffs and was killed so i don't know if that triggered him, i'm about to get put in handcuffs and be helpless and a brother tried to get away then be handcuffed and die like george floyd did, but he ran and grabbed the taser. he was a distance away and the officer, he was already grabbing for his gun before the taser was even pointed in his direction. i want to clarify one thing. we can't risk the use of tasers

by police officers. it's now looked at as a possible deadly situation and that will destroy the use of tasers. they are on nondeadly weapon that officers need to use because it's not a threat to your life. >> sandra: can you talk about the charges that these two officers face? >> we don't know what the d.a. is going to do and i never like to comment on the criminal side, to not taint anything that's going on so we are just going to wait to see with the justice does. i don't lose faith in the d.a., i don't lose faith in all police officers from this incident. i just want a better way of policing. which shouldn't be that hard. >> ed: the family was very clear at the news conference that i mentioned, you were and family members were as well, to honor rayshard brooks, you want to make sure the protests are peaceful and it doesn't get out of control. so you talked about more honest

and reformed policing and very carefully, it's important to note that you still respect the police. so if we can have that kind of common ground, the president is about to be in the rose garden the next couple of hours announcing some steps forward, what kind of police reform do you think we need in this country? >> a lot of policies and different procedures have been announced but it's a mentality part. there is a problem with policing and african-americans come with temperament, aggression and understanding, they need to be fixed from the beginning. they don't want to respond to a caller mental mental health issue that gets made into a department that fades into all that. our officers that are armed and trained, they respond to the violent situation. they don't have to be put into

that situation, he put the first officer on video and they say i don't want to deal with this. that deals with community situations like this. >> sandra: we have also heard the first of the audio from the 911 phone call when police were first called over rayshard brooks stopped in the car. the colors that he was asleep and, what have you in the family been able to take away so far since that call was made public? >> the call in the video, sadly, it is how you are taught as african-americans to respond when a police officer questions you. he was polite, he was cordial. he called him "server." the first interaction is what you are supposed to do with an

officer. and, at the end of the day he shouldn't have been shot in the back two times for having that taser because it's not a deadly weapon. >> she is quoted as saying that the trust we have with the police force is broken and the only way to heal some of these ones is a conviction. and we have to wait for the facts though in this case. as you have been hedging some of the details, we don't know all the facts about what led to this awful tragedy. >> no. we just know the ending which is always the most important.

and while running away, and they are pointed in this direction. that situation, you can let them run and you have backup coming. you have the i.d., you patted him down and you know he's not armed. you have his car. taking a life should not make it such a quick option when you know he has a taser. >> sandra: we were all watching the news conference and our viewers took that all in together. the family members stepping up one by one to the microphone, and obviously he was speaking as well. the family got so emotional, they walked out of the room. but we heard from and can you let us know how they are doing

in the weeks following all this? >> and it, not destroy atlanta and those protests have been a few weeks ago. they stood up for zone three where they are and saying, don't be violent. and then this happened literally right after that. so if it was kind of a crushing blow for them, when they felt like telling protesters and telling people to protest without any violence. and then, that happens. it's the same thing. burning down property and tearing up the city doesn't make any sense with protesting. if you look at most of the video, it's not all of the peaceful protesters out there, it's always three or four crazy individuals who escalate the situation. a lot of them aren't even always

african-american. so we just have to be careful with what people say it is violent protesting because it's not anything that the families are taking part in, and most people that want change take part in because that doesn't solve anything. >> ed: chris stewart, thank you for your time. fox news alert, a plume of smoke rising above the border between north and south korea. greg palkot is live in london following this today. >> north korea blowing up something in north korea in the explosion, and it happened in the north korean town of kaesong. now the building had a huge

symbolic value. it opened in 2018 when diplomacy was warming up between the north, the south and the u.s. and it's called the inter-korean liaison office and is aimed at facilitating ties. it's been close since january as indications that nobody was apparently inside at the time. this move was publicly announced over the weekend interestingly enough by north korean leader kim jong un's sister. she's been assuming more power lately. experts say the north tough actions to the south are due in part to disappointments with seoul, korea, that they aren't delivering. there are efforts to rein in his nuke and missile program. that's a more aggressive stance, and recently just in the past

few days, they are strengthening their overall north korean nuclear deterrence. their security officials have been given high alert in the meetings all day and he just got a news alert. >> ed: we will stay on top of it. >> sandra: president trump taking shots from the media after speculations about his health after an appearance at health west point. it is the media criticism of that fair? john bolton, what he says is confidential information, which is next. >> they have to give a clearance process before they could publish the book. we don't believe that bolton

went through the process. ♪ ♪ ♪ mortgage rates have dropped to all time lows. ♪ by refinancing now, you can save $2000 a year. and newday's va streamline refi shortcuts the process. veterans can refinance with no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. one call could save you $2000 a year.

>> president trump: i told that to the attorney general before, i will consider every conversation with me as president highly classified so that would mean if he wrote a

book in the book gets out he's broken the law. i would think he would have criminal problems, i sure hope so. >> ed: that's him saying he thinks national security advisor john bolton may have broken the law. how we, good morning. do you think the president has a case or is it just guaranteed that john bolton will be a "new york times" best selling author. >> i think the horses out of the barn. totally understandable that the president feels betrayed, but simon & schuster has already shipped it out to stores. if the administration goes to court, and that's an attempt to prosecute. >> the attorney general and

others have been pointing out other, and they are, and the national security council, and we finally figured, after november 3rd. at the same time, i think there's a big bolton backlash brewing. the clamor for bolton to testify on the ukraine during the impeachment, he ultimately declined to do so. a few people on the left are saying he's profiteering by saving for the book when it's too late to do anything about it. >> we never dreamed of the day when the left would be cheering john bolton. we have a piece this morning

that also dives into the president's health. that gives his big speech commencement at west point, and the focus was instead you say, the media fast talks trump. that's a pretty thin gruel on which to mount a buffet. they should not slide into the same conduct now, your thoughts? >> it's the same old question about our media double standard. it seems that all of this unfounded speculation based on the president walking slowly, that the two-handed grab a cup of water. this is payback, because trump

didn't raise questions and, i did speak out against that. but if you thought that was wrong, if you think he shouldn't have denigrated her then or be questioning joe biden's mental state now than how to use justify the same kind of tactics based on a couple of videos that don't really show anything? >> in the case of hillary clinton you have to remember, she basically all but collapsed and had to be helped into a van. it was a little bit differently, raises new health questions. "new york daily news," trembling trump struggles to lift a glass of water and walked down the ramp. your final thought? >> still pounding away at this day after day. there was a question about trump having an unscheduled visit to walter reed back in november that some people think wasn't

fully explained, and there isn't much evidence there. i don't see why so many in the media are raising these questions. >> sandra: fox news alert, the death of george floyd sparking new calls for the removal of confederate statutes. i had where these calls are meeting major push back. plus it's being called a seismic shift where other police department across the country follow suit with the big change? we get brand-new perspective from the officer on the front lines in the big apple. >> this is what i believe sets the nypd apart. we welcome reform, and media reform starts from within.

appomattox which represented confederate soldiers in virgin virginia. and as you just imagined it was all over the country. that's the state capital in frankfort, kentucky. the former president of the president, and his statue is being moved with a historic site in the state of kentucky. the call for conduct of confederate takedowns ringing through the u.s. capitol in washington, d.c., where it 11 controversial statutes that have federal ties are that remain standing and statuary hall. >> if you put a statue here in 1880 it's very likely that someone has come along since 1880 that is more significant than one of the two people you chose. >> the debate isn't just limited to, especially in the united kingdom to take down, and

that's world war ii. >> in london, vandals went after winston churchill, that's a third tier nascar circuit, but, a famed driver bubba wallace welcomed it. listen. >> it creates stores and allows the community to come together as one and that's what the real mission is here. so i'm excited about that.

those are also under the microscope. >> ed: we will watch it. >> sandra: dramatic video of a man falling to the ground after he was shot during a protest in new mexico. dramatic video there, and they reportedly tried to protect the statue of a spanish conquistador. that as protesters were trying to tear down with a chain. the nypd is announcing it will be eliminating its plainclothes anti-crime unit and reassigning hundreds of those officers to other teams. president trump is set to unveil his executive order on police reforms tomorrow.

the plainclothes unit was key to the stop and frisk policy under former mayor rudy giuliani. and the commissioners says this is the start of a new era. >> and it will be felt it will be felt immediately in the communities that we protect. >> ed: chief, good to have yo you. i've seen the official back from the rudy giuliani official yesterday afternoon when he saw this news conference with the commissioner. he was stunned, and he said that the nypd might lose the city again. tell me why he was wrong? >> this has come a time and time again and proven itself.

that's commitment and dedication to keep new york state. 600,000 people are stopped and when we underwent that change, some may say, and what have we seen? quite the opposite. we work to day in and day out, we continue to fight crime. >> we have a clip from "the new york post" a short time ago that in may or early june, stabbings and shootings are way up. writers are up a huge percentage from last year despite what you just said. and here's a president with my colleague harris faulkner talking about his concerns for new york city and i will give you a fair chance to respond.

>> president trump: we went from one of the safest cities in the country and now if you look at what's going on it's starting to go back to where it was. >> you have to look at the totality of where we are in 2020 especially in new york city. on the heels on the backdrop of criminal justice reform, and the commissioner, the beginning of this year and the end of 2019 as we encountered these. we see these challenges on the backdrop of hundreds of thousands less arrests and people incarcerated in the jail system. but the piece that we really need is the position piece, we need all of our district attorneys to really focus on that small population that is part of the violent crimes and we have to keep those people in

jail. >> but you really as chief of patrol want to do away, and it's this decision made under pressure for mayor de blasio, and that, i have 77 precincts where we have over 600 police officers. the neighborhood police, that was based on building trust with respect and accountability and transparency. this is another layer, we tell the public, and certainly in the city will build the trust and it works both ways. that mutual respect. this is another piece of that

high. >> ed: it without the president under 90 minutes from now and that will be the rose garden, leaders in both parties working on that on capitol hill. the early read about coming up with best practices for police department's and certifications and also information sharing with bad cops. we know who has had problems before. >> this police department has transformed and worked so diligently and ensuring and that's all i've ever seen. and this is yet in the right direction, we certainly want to make sure that the police are aware of what we do come when we do it and how we do it. i think every day we strive to get closer to that goal. >> ed: all right. i know you have a tough job, we appreciate you sharing your time and getting that information.

sandra? >> sandra: some liberal groups are calling out joe biden's response to the police protest movement. protection from workplace discrimination. some companies still have hr stuck between employees and their data.

entering data.

changing data. more and more sensitive, personal data. and it doesn't just drag hr down. it drags the entire business down -- with inefficiency, errors and waste. it's ridiculous. so ridiculous. with paycom, employees enter and manage their own data in a single, easy to use software. visit paycom.com, and schedule your demo today. >> sandra: more than 50 liberal groups criticizing the response to the police protest movement. that they have a moral responsibility in this moment making amends for the harm you up because there is an first steps. and that's an executive director

of georgetown's university institute of publix. so most specifically in this letter, they take on biden's promise to eight quotes latosha brown the head of "black voters matter." she says it's a slap in the face to black folks and this rewards the police and asked what message does this send? and they said, and they need to better integrate police they say certain conditions should be

tied to funding. if they don't reform, if they don't crank clean up their act where they are bad actors and not meeting certain standards, that's where the issue funds at. i think that's something that can cross a lot of lines, i think a lot of suburban voters could be into that and urban bought voters could be into that. he's been out there, he's been in the community is, he's been talking to people and listening to them and showing that he's there for them. he's found a policy plan that people can get behind. >> sandra: i don't know if you've read this but they take him on for some of the more dramatic ideas that are out of there. that cannot be supported, but they are saying.

that's 30 years after world war ii thinking the war is stolen. joe finally comes out of his bunker, and you are not going to recognize the party. they have gone so far left and so far out of anything that could be considered mainstream whether it's policing or the economy, and they are pulling him in a direction that is totally unelectable. yes, he has been selected and that's by the parties, they've been elected by the people. look what's going on in seattle. this is not america and joe biden, you are right. he has taken the moderate standard. >> you can't win the election without the enthusiastic support of black voters and how you act in this moment of crisis will

play a big role in determining how black voters as he responding to this moment? he's been talking to the community leaders and put forward policy proposals that i think most members of the community can get behind. they do support conditional funding and police reform so he is very much in line with most of the party. i think there are some groups out there. and and they are comparing to what he's saying with his actions, to the president which come his approach has been to many members of the black

community. i think you will see that he continues to enjoy their suppo support. >> sandra: we believe that there because we want to move on to the supreme court decision. he draws surprise anger he left the door open for employers to make faith-based challenges he sues for workplace bias. he was praised by the left but their criticism for conservatives, brad? >> it's quite clear, there is a prohibition against discrimination for race, color and religion. and sacks and national origin,

and everyone should enjoy the same rights and this is an extension of that and it should be no supplies he was joined by chief justice john roberts in that decision, neil gorsuch was, of course. final thoughts? >> this is one. this is the right decision and it goes to prove once again that people who try to predict supreme court are oftentimes surprised by the decisions of certain members. what justice gorsuch and the majority of the court dated was

clarify a point that needed desperate clarification, but this is sacks discrimination. and that if you have two people who are attracted to men and who date men, one is a man and one is a woman, and you treat them differently, that is this commission based on sacks and this is an area where i'm happy to praise justice gorsuch. >> great to hear that from both of you. retired marine paul welland sentenced to 16 years of hard labor in russia. paul's brother david joins us with the important message next. there's no income verification, no appraisal,

and no out of pocket costs and you can do it all right from home.

♪

>> sandra: calls are now mounting for the release of a retired marine being held in russia. and that 16 years hard labor. joining us now is paul's brother david weyland. thank you for being here, you've been speaking to us to write your brother's case. first off, have you received any word on how he's doing and directly how he's reacting to this scene? >> even yesterday and he looked at his normal self and realize it's all a sham and a set up. so as far as we know he was able to speak to the u.s. embassy today in russia, and he's giving going to keep moving forward and fight for his release.

you can see the top line, sham trial. he pressed it up against the glass and he announced his trial is a sham as he has often called a period of tv cameras were not present and they could not be there, i know you were told that was because of coronavirus reasons. the u.s. and mike pompeo have responded saying they're outraged, calling for his immediately released. what is your message to the u.s. government and what are your plans to try to free your brother? >> first i would say thank you there was an enormous amount of support from the u.s. government, probably the most unified and strong statement. that's the congressional representatives from the house committee to foreign affairs and the senate committee for foreign relations. it was everybody and it was unanimous. it was important for paul to know and then an important for the russian federation to know that the united states

government won't stand for its citizens to be treated this way. as ambassador sullivan said, it's subjected to a mockery of justice. so we will look for the u.s. government to find a way -- >> sandra: david, it didn't mean to cut you off. with a minute or so left, remind our viewers, he's ultimately being set up and used as a political pawn potentially for russian prisoners swap. give us your final thoughts this morning what happens with all this? >> next we look to the u.s. government to have a way to find him freed and that will involve discussions with the russian federation and may involve consolatory exchanges or involve punitive measures like sanctions. our family is fine with whatever the u.s. government decides to do. as long as paul is released. >> sandra: how is your brother's health? >> as far as we know he is in

good health. >> sandra: keep us updated on your brother's progress, thanks for being here this morning. >> thanks so much for having me back. >> ed: we wish the family well. fox news alert, we are one hour away from a live event with the president. what can we expect on his executive order of police reform? live from the white house an exclusive of the top cabinet secretary, next.

ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo-hoo! great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients to support immune health.

>> ed: a president trump set to take action an hour from now after weeks of nationwide protests calling for reform for the police. there is a database to track officers accused of misconduct. that certain 911 note phone calls. >> they take this action, and we are listening and supporting law enforcement. we will find it new resources to help departments obtain certifications, and improve training on de-escalation.

>> after the death of george floyd in minneapolis and the ensuing outcry across country, president trump has been working with law enforcement, faith leaders and the families of victims of police use of force to craft this executive order. let's put them up on the screen now for you. to adopt best practices on the use of force. they are outdated and federal incentives, we track people with excessive use of force complaints so they couldn't for example the one laura law enfort agency and repeat the behavior. the third part of this is coresponder programs were experts in mental health,

homelessness and addiction would join with police program. he is president trump from yesterday. >> we want law and order. the president again is saying he will intervene in the situation if local and state leaders don't spend the president tearing a strip off of seattle's mirror, and washington's governor. listen here. >> those people have taken over a vast part, a very good part of a place called seattle. seattle is big stuff, that's a major city. we have governors and a mayor who said this is going to be a

love fest. by the way, these are violent people that took it over. if they don't do the job then i will do the job. >> is unclear, he has already said it would be against the law for the president to send in the military. when i asked him what he could do he said we have a list of about ten things that we could do although we didn't articulate what those somethings are. >> secretary, good morning, welcome.

this president is taking leadership and listening, a number of initiatives within the eo to take ownership of this. the relationship between social services and the law enforceme t community and more portly about resources, making sure we give law enforcement agencies the right resources to do the job. >> sandra: mr. secretary, you've seen the protest across the country and i know you've spoken out about those. you've got people calling for change and you've widely gotten bipartisan agreement that there does need to be changed. how do you strike that balance while also maintaining. it goes to the public trust, between law enforcement in the

communities they serve. and that is the president is doing that through a number of initiatives, and we want to make sure that those that have their voice heard can do that peacefully. we need to address some of the violence that has occurred over the last several weeks. >> ed: is specifically mr. secretary we had the attorney, chris stewart, and he was killed in atlanta over the weekend. >> there is understanding that needs to be fixed from the beginning. they don't have to be put in these kinds of situations where they don't want to be. they say i don't want to do this, they shouldn't have to.

there should be a separate department that deals with community situations like this. >> ed: how do you react to the idea that there needs to be broader reform, but also the idea that many african-american males in this country are afraid in their dealings with the police, how do you get at that? >> i think the larger reform is not only through the eo but, senator tim scott certainly looking at legislation as well as others. but we have to go back to building that community trust and public trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. it's actually critical the president is again leading on, or other initiatives that congress is looking at. i think that's the key here, making sure that we give law enforcement the resources and the leadership, the training that they need to do the job to protect american communities. this is not about defunding the police or law enforcement, it's about giving them the tools and

resources they need to change their culture, and to reform if we see that and we need to do that. we need to provide the resources to protect all americans and communities across the country. >> we are listening to the police commissioner speaking out, here is dermot shea from new york city. speak out this is no reflection whatsoever on the men and women of the police department that are out there doing the work. and i think 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, and we can do it with brute force. what do you think is the impact of that >> i have some real

concerns for that approach. you don't simply disband them and you don't take a number of law enforcement officers off the street dedicated to fighting crime, and taking them off the streets is really not the way to go. we don't agree to that and we don't subscribe to that notion, and i think you need to take a look at that. >> police has been going on for about two weeks now. the police precinct pushed out of this capitol hill, and i want to get you to react. speak to the governor has to call the troops and do what he has to do, because the national guard, he has to do something.

the problem with what's happening in seattle as it spreads. and we are not going to let it happen. we are not going to let it happen, and the president has a list of ten things he might do to stop this but would name any of them. >> i think what we seen from seattle is a lack of leadership and state political leadership. what they've effectively done is tie the hands of law enforcement, sanctioned six city blocks that violate laws and that puts particularly citizens and jeopardy. we are taking a look at actions that again if the mayor, state and governor is not going to

take action, he's for law and order and he's going to take the necessary steps. i would say we are taking a look at a variety of different options. >> sandra: this is a headline in "the washington post" this morning. we make the calls to defund an alternative department and it writes about now the public safety department that will address social issues. now one u.s. city is committing to it. your thoughts? >> again that relationship between social services and law enforcement, and what we don't need to do is defund the police and move those resources somewhere else. that's a false choice, need to fund a law enforcement and protective communities and also

>> ed: a breaking news out of seattle, it appears there is a tentative agreement that fox news has just confirmed out about seattle and protesters at occupying that capitol hill. that will shrink the size of the so-called chop. and they will split up the road up for pedestrian and vehicular traffic and open things up a little bit. this is likely the first step in what could return the area to normal. we are just reporting with the secretary of homeland security is saying. they are taking some early steps at least to try to end of the

two-week standoff. >> sandra: we will stay on the breaking of elements from there. meanwhile, protests across the country and many demonstrators calling for the defunding of police department after the death of george floyd. in a brand-new "washington examiner" op-ed, loretta senator rick scott calling this "the single most ridiculous and irresponsible policy idea that has been suggested in his lifetime. senator rick scott joins us now. >> you should be manned up what happened. we know we have to make changes, we have to have more accountability and a better training. we can look at these things. the idea that we are going to get more security and the left has gone off the deep end.

we have wonderful police, are there bad apples after the wrong thing, absolutely. we got to get rid of them. i've talked to law enforcement and they are disgusted with what happened but if you want anarchy and you want more crime, defunded the police. i'm completely opposed to that. i want more accountability, and i want them to be safe. >> we have the health and well-being and safety which would respond to the killing of george floyd by suggesting the elimination or defunding of law enforcement. and there are some who are using the terminology defunded the police, and not saying do away with our police but they are calling for change. you are wondering what sort of

bipartisan change can you agree to in congress. what would you support us in this conversation gets better? >> they shouldn't say defunded. you can't say that's exactly what they want but that's exactly what they understand. i want accountability. i want to make sure my communities are safe, i don't want any bad actors out there and we have to hold everybody accountable for their actions. tim scott is working out at a proposal and that, we will do whatever we can skip this country safe and make sure law enforcement is respected and our communities are respected and any community is safe. i believe every community ought to have jobs. i have a great education system and ought to be safe. >> i want to move on to what is happening in your state. you've been talking to us throughout this pandemic, and here is sort of an uptick in

cases and they continue to move higher another amount of cases on sunday. did things start opening up in your state too soon, too fast? >> i talked to them every day and, we all know they want to do this safely. as i go around our state people are wearing their masks and social distancing and getting their businesses open again. there's a risk of coronavirus and they are working to do everything they want to do as safely as possible. they want to do it as safely as possible and i believe that will happen in our state. we cannot keep our economy closed forever and we can fund schools and find a law enforcement and do all of these things. and certainly we will continue

watching florida. you have a new vaccine bill, and you are trying to prevent china from stealing or sabotaging any of our vaccine research. you are calling to require national security clearance for chinese students, and enhanced multiagency vetting of chinese student visa holders and authorizing dhs to monitor chinese student visa holders involved in covid-19 research. how big of a threat is this? >> we know the game changer with the coronavirus is this vaccine and we i congress have funded the development, and they are trying to sabotage our delay in our vaccine. so what i've said is the chinese students who want to come over here and work on the vaccine, we will bet you. we will make sure that you won't do anything to sabotage or delay the vaccine. if america or europe or australia, they are not going to

share like we do. we help other people, they only help the communist party of china. i want to make sure that vaccine gets done as quickly as possible so americans and europeans all over the world are safe. >> with a few seconds that we have left, when do you think that vaccine will be available to americans? >> you have to be impressed with how hard everyone is working. there's a lot of companies working on it, i talked to steve han yesterday, the head of the fda. and he's optimistic. it will be a game changer. >> senator, thank you for your time this morning. >> ed: a fox news alert, new measures after weeks of protests calling for change and will bring you that live as soon as

>> ed: at the it's the single best online fund-raising day ever for the rnc and his reelection campaign. they continue to door if the democrats coffers and at least what they have raised so far despite a surge in donations for the dnc inmate. tim murtaugh and leslie marshall, fox news contributor. good morning. i wanted to start with you, i mention the president's birthday and you had flag day over the weekend. if there was an initiative by the trump campaign to get people out on their boats and in battlegrounds. with all this trending online where people were not just flying the american flag, they were flying other flags. what are you trying to show in terms of enthusiasm? >> we see that enthusiasm all the time and these parades are not something that the campaign organizers.

they want to share their support for the president of the united states and for his policy. they engineered the greatest economy that people had ever seen, and there is a great enthusiasm for the president and his policies. that's what we are seeing now come the pent up enthusiasm as we head toward the rally in tulsa, oklahoma, on saturday. over a million ticket request and $14 million raised just one day on sunday for the president's birthday. we have an army and 2 million volunteers spanning out of cross-country knocking on doors and making phone calls and over the weekend, we made 3 million volunteer phone calls and that something that joe biden just can't touch as far as enthusiasm goes. >> those are impressive numbers, and we will put it on the screen where we are big picture, through april. 253 million in the bank, dnc and

the biden campaign that just 97 million in the bank and now we hear that barack obama is going to come and do his first fund-raiser for joe biden. we are wawhere are we? >> i will take us enthusiasm and raise it, over $80 million in may, one day with elizabeth warren just yesterday $6 million, 3.5 with kamala harris. democrats are uniting and democrats have energy and enthusiasm. if you look at the number of turnouts in georgia, what we have now is if you look at -- if you show up at protests on the left or rallies on the right, and unless those people bode it's not really going to matter. but money doesn't always matter. when we look at 2016 donald trump won the election but lost the money game. they have the democratic and, i think not only is he enthusiasm for joe biden out there where we see the numbers of voters coming out but i think those people are

going to start writing more checks. and it went barack obama comes out, it certainly will help the vice president. >> fair point, obviously he still won. today as you know marks and z's they are out with a brand-new add and i will give you a chance to look. >> five years ago donald trump and the last five years he's brought america down with him. you have the power to descend to choose justice, leadership and unity. >> ed: timmy, your thoughts? >> i would say if joe biden and his allies think that's an agent of change, they picked the wrong candidate. if they want to talk up the

civil unrest ended there for that's been going on and he thinks there's something to be done about the policing these communities then, why didn't he do something about it in the three years he was in washingt washington? talking about safe communities, and the president as we know is in his first term and he's doing this already, he's taking the anger, and instead turn to get into action and that's what leaders do. leaders don't sit in washington for 40 years doing essentially nothing and then running around from his basement saying this is what i would do. he's had 40 years to do it, but why didn't he do it before now? >> they oversee policing, and that's certainly the recent police shootings which are the first one. ferguson and all kinds of other shootings back in the obama

days, not their fault. what did he do about it, what did they do as vice president for eight years. >> first of all i don't think many vice president's do as much as they stand next to the president, and the president can't be there. you look at the years prior to that and all of the years in congress as well, it's a fair question. but we didn't have the climate in the country than that we have now. the climate in the country now if you look at the polls, you have the majority of americans who are with the protesters who favor the protesting. and those are republicans as well, the majority of americans who are very disturbed by mr. floyd and feel what happened to mr. floyd is happening too much, i don't think americans want a military state. although there are about 37% that like the president's law and order idea the majority think it's a great tv show but they want to have some kind of better relationship and now this gavel of "law & order," someone that can bring the country

together. that's the big change that they want, not the change going back necessarily to the obama years, but going forward to have the country that is united. >> but i'm not sure your first point about the vice presidents do a whole lot. >> i was going to pipe up there, biden, all he really did was stand next to barack obama and that's not the way we hear joe biden tell it. as a matter of fact joe biden does on the worst recovery since world war ii and he owns the terrible policies he put in place on the economy. he said the first thing he would do is raise taxes which of course is an economy killer and he will also the green new deal. >> i'm out of time but do you want to revise that? >> i'm just saying typically they put forth legislation, and

the vice president, even mike pence. what legislation is mike pence pushing here? >> well, that's because he was appointed by the president to do so because the president chose not to do that. >> ed: leslie and tim, i appreciate your time. >> sandra: fox news alert at the white house, president trump expected to sign an executive order a police reform and that should be happening about 30 minutes from now on we are watching all this coming as a family of rayshard brooks continues to grieve and demand justice. he was killed by atlanta police during an arrest gone wrong last week. jonathan's areas live in atlanta with more on that as we await the president. jonathan, good morning. and she's angry about the use of

force that took place in this parking lot. as i said before, i'm often reminded of the works of art dr. martin luther king juicer. there is a urgency now. >> she has signed a series of administrative orders including prioritizing de-escalation over force. police must report all uses of deadly force to a citizens committee and intervene whenever they see a federal officer. a fellow officer devon rossman

as no disciplinary history and police have erased the 911 call that brought these two officers to the wendy's where brooks was asleep in the car. >> he's in the middle of my drive through. i tell tried to wake him up but he's parked dead in the middle of the drive-through so i don't know what's wrong with him. >> brooks initially cooperated with officers but then fled when they tried to handcuff him. sandra, back to you. >> sandra: jonathan serrie live in atlanta. >> ed: in the meantime, they marry one major southwestern city is changing the 911 system, creating a brand-new department to ease the burden they say on police but some say the move could lead to an increase in crime. we will get into it, next.

>> sandra: albuquerque, new mexico, unveiling plans to use social workers instead of police officers on someone 911

phone calls. amanda calls to defund the police albuquerque creates an alternative department. ted, great to have you here this morning. let me throw this portion of "the washington post" piece up on the screen for everybody to see because the police chief in albuquerque and mike geer is making the case that they are relieved by the news that many of their calls would shift to the community safety department. he makes the case that these work for the police officers and they like it. >> deeply concerned that we are overreacting to an excessive force case that they are now faced with. police officers carry guns and

say go out to the 911 calls. social workers are going to go out there and they are not going to be on. it's very difficult to send a social worker to an emergency call without a police officer. >> sandra: to your point, perhaps they could do good with some phone calls but they could also get into a dangerous situation. the police union feels a bit differently than what the mayor put out there, this is the albuquerque and, police department's across the country will be underfunded for years. in this police union is speaking out against this. that 911 calls are inherently dangerous in and of themselves. a police officer going to a 911

call doesn't know what he's faced with. once he gets up on the scene, and then perhaps you can bring a social worker in, but you should not put a social worker in that form of danger alone. >> sandra: i know you've put a lot of thought into this and covered all the cases, we are about to give the president a few minutes from now, and he's going to be signing a bill that's going to include policing and what changes would you like to see ted when it comes to policing in this nation? >> one of the things it's going on right now is the use of a choke hold. i would certainly like to see something like that outlawed. i would like to see more of a responsibility of police officer is being responsible for their actions, where supervisors are

sent with police officers to various locations. we have to watch how we limit our police officers and put some of their lives in danger by legislation. >> sandra: what we look forward to and await the president's words. thank you. >> my pleasure. >> ed: in the meantime growing alarms over a spying by china. dozens of american scientists fired over secret ties to foreign research centers. why officers are worried that the scientists buys are threatening progress on a cure for covid-19

>> ed: if there is a growing concern over china stealing american technology by infiltrating top american research centers. many scientists lost their jobs over secret ties to sick countries mostly china. at here to talk about it, dan hoffman, a former cia station chief in fox news contributor. good morning. >> good morning. >> when you go through the story some of the scientists who got caught up in this, they took a little extra money from china. if you are in the pocket of a communist government, that's a real problem. >> i may not listen. we are under siege from chinese espionage. they are targeting things, we are trying to take advantage of our open democratic system.

it is a great concern. they come up with better solutions to counter this. >> several have -- a possible concern, 121 flagged by the fbi and 44 flagged by their own institutions. if you know, specifically when you talk about nih, the nih right now is working on vaccines, treatments for covid-19 and a whole lot of other important things. what is tying up to? >> i mean at the nih is certainly a high priority for china. china would consider nih to be a hot target, they are seeking to entice our scientists with offers of financial assistance, not very effectively hidden with the source being in china and it's their way of penetrating government research. they want to steal our secrets when it comes to the cobit vaccine and they might even want

to interfere with what we are doing to impede our progress for finding vaccines in our own country. >> ed: interesting because word of this investigation surfaced two months ago and the story in the "washington examiner" is interesting because the headline was, new red scare. house democrats scrutinize fbi investigations into ethnically chinese scientists suggesting that maybe there was something nefarious there and there was some targeting going on. it seems like this is a deadly serious investigation. >> it is and that's not where the fbi starts. if they happen to be ethnic chinese, then so be it but that's not where the fbi begins, they are not writing the script before they collect the evidence. and so there is concern for sure, china targets ethnic chinese in that country but they also target nonethnic chinese and they are mounting sets of

full-court press we need a better public-private partnership including with their institutions of higher learning. nih for example has two have a better foreign contact where they don't just report all of their interactions with foreigners. >> ed: what are you think of the consequences of china doing this? they are lying and covering up the spread of the virus initially and yet it's hard to hold them accountable. >> listen. i think that part of their cover-up was for their own reasons to deny their own citizens access to the truth but i wouldn't put it past them to want the rest of the world to suffer the same economic consequences that they are suffering. so when the virus gets out we know what he has done to our economy and we do need to hold them accountable for that. >> ed: at daniel hoffman, thanks for coming on. >> sandra: a busy news day
