listen to old music, too, as well. different types of music. that's what i think. >> dana: i love that i got to meet you, tim and fred williams, congratulations on all your success and good luck on meeting your goal of 100,000 subscribers. thank you. bill hemmer, how about those two? >> bill: send them bob dil bob . thank you. let's get rolling here. good afternoon, everybody. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer, several big stories we are watching this hour. president trump signing executive order to overhaul police practices. he announced steps to encourage departments to ban choke holds unless an officer's life is at risk. meanwhile senate judiciary committee is holding a hearing at the moment on police use of force. we will keep an eye on that. comes as a growing number of cities and states take action to reformer defund the departments. steve is live back in atlanta. speak with the new york city police commissioner ray kelly we begin this hour at the white house and the north lawn with

john roberts from there. john, good afternoon. >> bill, good afternoon to you. this is just the beginning of things to come with the president signing the rose garden earlier this afternoon. the house and senate are working on broad legislation to address the problem. buwhat the president wanted to o whatever he could from an executive standpoint to deal with the difficult issues that have been facing the country these last couple of weeks. this really boils down to three separate initiatives. first of all, federal incentive to police forces to create credential ling and certification and best practices for the use of force is part of that initiative. you mentioned this at the top, bill. the president wants to ban the use of choke holds in all but the most extreme cases. listen here. >> as part of this new credentialing process. choke holds will be banned except if an officer's life is at risk. and i will say we have dealt with all of the various departments and everybody said it's time. we have to do it.

>> the second part of the initiative is on information-sharing on police officers who have complaints of misconduct lodged against them so that bad cops can't just move from one agency to the other. the president insists bad cops are rare but they have to be rooted out. listen here. >> they are very tiny, i use the word tiny. it's a very small percentage, but you have them. but nobody wants to get rid of them more than the overwhelming number of really good and great police officers. >> john: finally the third part of the executive order would incorporate social workers into police forces to help officers deal with everything from mental health issues to domestic disputes to homelessness. here again the president. >> we will provide more resources for co-responders, such as social workers who can help officers manage these complex encounters. and this is what they have studied and worked on all their lives. they understand how to do it. >> the executive order is going

to require buy-in from local governments and local police forces. but in the past at times when the federal government has suggested the law enforcement agencies nationwide we should do things a little differently, they haven't gotten a lot of buy, in particularly, bill, when federal dollars from the doj are at stake. those are the incentives that the president hold up to law enforcement and local governments today, bill? >> bill: thank you, john. john roberts leading our coverage from the white house. thank you, john. atlanta police releasing that 911 call from a wendy's worker after rayshard brooks fell asleep in car at drive-thru. police releasing the disciplinary record of as law firm in that city. steve harrigan picks up live in atlanta today. steve? >> bill, we are learning more details on all side of this case which happened on friday after 10:'30 p.m. in a drive-thru parking lot. the police now releasing the 911 calls that led to the shooting death of rayshard brooks.

>> i have a car, i think he is intoxicated. he is in the middle of my thrive-through. i tried to wake him up but he is parked in the middle of the drive-thru. i don't know what's wrong with him. >> attorney for the family says that brooks had every real reasonable to fear the police. >> george floyd was in handcuffs and was killed. i don't know if that triggered him of i'm about to be put in handcuffs and be reckless. i would rear try to get away than be handcuffed and die like george floyd did. >> learning more details about the officer who fired those three shots garrett rolfe, he received a written reprimand in 2017 for the use of force with a weapon. we expect to find out wednesday whether or not he faces charges in this case. bill, back to you. >> bill: thank you, steve harrigan live in atlanta. welcome to our program today. >> good to be with you, bill.

>> important day to talk about the executive order. what do you think about what the white house did two hours ago? >> i think it's fine. obviously some people were expecting more. but from the federal level, it's very difficult to do more. these are really local and state issues. but i think these three areas are important for policing. and as you said before, money is a pretty good lover, as far as getting localities to follow federal direction. >> bill: let me build on a few things here. national database of police misconduct. not at the local level but at the national level. is that something that makes sense to you? >> well, it does. i don't think it's a big problem. there was an incident in cleveland a few years ago where an officer shot a young boy. turned out that he came from a department where he had some problems. it wasn't known. but, look, police departments do

what other employers do. they do vetting. they do a background check. they check with other employers. so, yes, this could fall through the cracks but i don't think it's a huge problem. why not have it. >> bill: new training for deescalation of a tense situation. you have got experience in this. how would you do that? what guidelines would you give? >> well, no. there is a lot of training going on now in major departments and has been for quite a while in deescalation. it's generally a good thing. you have to know when to engage and when not to engage. let a situation play itself out. this is something that has been training all over the country for i would say five or six years, at least. >> bill: what about the choke holds? what's the right policy? >> well, i eliminated the choke hollande when i was a commissioner the first time in 1993. that's a long time that it's

been banned in nypd something that should be banned it's not a direct order from the president. it is leveraging money or funds that can be withheld from an agency 123 they don't ban the chokehold. >> bill: what was happening in 1993. why did you think it was a good idea to have it? >> people died as a result of its use and also prisoner was hog tied. we banned that as well it's a problem that can continue to come up. i think it's good that it's been banned and the departments focus on it. good that they left that little door open, someone is struggling for his or her life. to me, that's leeway to be able to defend themselves.

>> bill: dermot shea new york city police commissioner has now made a decision to take a group of 600 officers, plain clothes officers who work in all the neighborhoods and reassign them. is he essentially getting rid of this program. here he was on our show yesterday when that news broke. >> make no mistake this is a seismic shift in the culture of you who the nypd polices this great city. it will be felt immediately throughout the five district attorneys' offices. it will be felt immediately in the communities that we protect. >> bill: can you support this decision? does it make the city safer, sir? >> well, i was surprised by it because for decades anticrime, anticrime officers have been -- played a major role in controlling crime in new york. they make a large number of robbery, gun arrests, extreme violence arrests. really one of the only tools that a precinct commander has to

address crime in his or her precinct. these individuals are really truly engaged in crime-fighting. this is an order from mayor de blasio. this is not coming from the police department. this is clearly the mayor. the mayors are the chief law enforcement officers in their cities. and we are going to see how this works out. a lot of people are concerned that violent crime will go up as a result. >> bill: are you concerned, sir? >> yes. i'm concerned and we're going to have to see. >> bill: what's the time period on something like that? do you make a call in a week or a month or a year? how far down the river are you guys? >> i don't know when it's going to be implemented? immediately? there are -- you know, crime is rising now in new york city. will it exacerbate it? you know, we are not certain. as a general policy, this is quite a move, quite a jump.

and we'll probably see its effects relatively soon. >> bill: ray kelly it's good to have you on today. come back soon. we are learning a lot about this as we go. thank you, sir. ray kelly. another alert right now, show you the dow last hour trading where are we at the moment? we are up about 500 points. comes after the u.s. retail sales surged last month. up about 17%. the biggest monthly increase ever. sales were expected to rise about 8%. we blew by that retail sales make up about half of all consumer spending, so they are still down about 6% from a year ago. the reason why this is all important is because we want to know what sort of recovery are we in? is it an l? is it a u? or is it a v? but today was a good number coming out from there. more on police reforms in a moment. later this hour, white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany joins me about 20 minutes from now. we will talk about a lot of events from the white house today and more after the campaign trail. >> bill: meanwhile, this news.

north korea blowing up ties with south korea and they did it literally. we will have more on this latest explosive move by kim jong un and his sister. also ken starr joins me to talk about neil gorsuch taking sides with liberal justices in a landmark supreme court case on lgbtq rights. we will tell what you it means. and back to the hill where senate republicans are facing growing pressure to pass a police reform bill soon. >> with our country facing a once in a century pandemic and historic economic disruption, a major discussion of racial justice, the speaker of the house has mostly left her chamber on the longest running spring break.ca it shortens the refi process so veteran families

>> we want police officers to protect themselves and protect us. but mr. floyd died for a $20 bill. you see the video. he was in handcuffs. he wasn't threatening anybody. how do you go from that to dead is just amazing. >> bill: that from a moment ago senate judiciary committee holding a hearing on police use of force. protests against police brutality, racial injustice rocked the nation. congressional correspondent chad pergram live on the hill. nice to see you, chad, county two sides compromise on police reform? >> it's going to be a challenge, bill, especially in the united states senate. you have the filibuster there. republicans are very concerned

about curbing this immunity for police officers. that's a nonstarter for some republicans. something that's very important to democrats here. but, both sides are watching these protests in the streets and the energy there and could that be a political impacting force come november? here's vets la weaver a political scientist at johns hopkins university in baltimore. >> there is good empirical evidence that protest on the one hand can inspire backlash on the other hand it can lead to transformation in policy. >> there is concern among senate republicans about not moving quickly enough. in the past hour senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says he may decide as early as tomorrow to start debate on the police reform bill. senator tim scott is expected to release his bill some time tomorrow. it's unclear, bill, if democrats will filibuster the gop plan.

>> bill: okay, we will see that one when it comes to it. what's the latest on a police reform bill in the house? >> right, exactly. they are going to start to right this in tomorrow in committee. it's called a mark-up where they actually put the bill together, go line by line. steny hoyer the house majority leader has indicated they are going to vote on this bill on the 25th of june. democrats in the house are very concerned about this executive order by president trump. they say it's insufficient. here is the main architect of the bill in the house of representatives, karen bass, she is the chair of the congressional black caucus. >> we have to do something significant. we can't do anything symbolic. we can't say what we're going to do now is study chokeholds and study this and study that we need to take action. >> mitch mcconnell says that the house bill is going nowhere. he believes this is kind of a federal overreach by house democrats. keep in mind, bill, that most police policy is decided at the local level and not in washington, d.c. and really what mitch mcconnell is trying to

do here is get the jump on house democrats by potentially putting that bill on the senate floor tomorrow. but he will also dare democrats to filibuster starting it if they don't like what senator scott is putting forth. bill? >> bill: thank you, chad pergram on the hill. different kind of place these days. ray kelly was making that point about the local level. talk about that with kayleigh mcenany coming up. thank you. nice to see you. social distancing, massive protests and crowded restaurants. here's how the "new york post" summed it up. karl rove is here to react to that in a moment. we will check in on karl and the city of seattle reaching a deal with demonstrators. a live report what that could mean in a moment, next.

>> bill: a man was shot last night during a protest in alba dirky new mexico. trying to take down the statue of a spanish. the police say there were reports a vigilante group may have instigated the violence. the man who was shot is in critical but stable condition. new mexico. from seattle now there is word of a deal with protesters and what is now known as the capital hill organized protest zone. demonstrators agreeing to reduce occupied area from seven city blocks down to three. dan springer is back on that story from seattle. what's the latest, dan? >> yeah, bill, the significance here is that there really was a negotiation between some of the protesters and the city and as you mentioned, really the first time in 8 days that the city is taking some control of this zone from seven blocks down to three. and also emergency vehicles will now be able to get in and get out of the chop. city crews showed up this morning around 7:00 while most of the several hundred

protesters who stay here full time still sleeping. they started by taking down the makeshift steel and plastic barricades put up by protesters. those were replaced by concrete dividers, closer to the east precinct and some streets were completely opened up allowing better access to businesses and apartment buildings while still giving space to the protesters. >> it's about trying to find a medium ground in which everyone can meet and at least start the dialogue for what is going on and what happens in the future. >> this is the first step, a positive step. people are taking charge, smart people are taking charge here. and i see this as a good thing. i believe that businesses will be able to come back. >> nobody wants to see a repeat of what happened sunday night. a car repair shop had a break-in about a block outside the protest zone. the owners caught the guy and called police, but the police never showed. meantime, a mob of protesters broke down their fence.

without the police, the robbery victims were forced to let the suspect go. later, protest security dolled out some street justice. roughing up the guy trying to get the stolen money and car keys back. it's what happens when police don't police. i'm very shaken up. i'm very disappointed in the city's leadership. and lack of police protection. i'm very disappointed that the fire department didn't show up hopefully the stringing of the chop area down to a smaller footprint and also allowing emergency vehicles to get in and get out will prevent something like that from happening again where police didn't feel like they could safely go and help that business owner and arrest that guy who they had detained. just a terrible situation. luckily there were no shots fired and it didn't end horribly. bill? >> bill: i know you said this time and again, you don't know how this ends in the end. seven blocks to three blocks is a change in the story.

we will follow it. thank you, dan. nice to see you, dan springner seattle. president trump signing executive order on police reform what exactly is in it and does to go far enough. kayleigh mcenany is my guest live coming up next. president obama plans to join joe biden next week. what does karl rove think about that? we will talk to karl coming up shortly. ♪ and once you refinance, the savings are automatic. thanks to your va streamline refi benefit, at newday there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. activate your va benefit now. one call can save you $2000 every year. @(d2 if your child doesn't 1 iseem themself at times,ed. they may not be hydrated enough.

watch. >> today is about pursuing common sense and fighting. fighting for a cause hike we seldom get the changes to fight for. we have to find common ground. i dangerous efforts to dissolve our police departments. >> bill: kayleigh mcenany to talk about this and thank you for your time from the north lawn there. >> hi, bill. thank you. >> bill: how would this executive order prevent the death of george floyd. let's start there. >> yeah. so there are a number of things. first police department provides discretionary grants if they meet certain training standards for deescalation and juice of force. one of those methods is chokeholds. the president has said he doesn't want chokeholds unless there are the use of deadly force. that's one concrete example. also ensuring that there are

co-responders. if someone is dealing with mental health or addiction or a drug abuse situation that a co-responders who are s. trained in mental health accompanies the department. i think this goes a long way in helping to resolve some of the issues of injustices we see across the country. >> bill: two very different cases. what about rayshard brooks in atlanta. how would this order have saved his life. >> that second component that i talked, about the training, the drug addiction, a lot of what our police officers do. it's not just addressing issues of criminality. it's also addressing issues of substance abuse. in that case you are referring to it was a situation where there was allegedly drinking and driving involved. so this would have a co-responders on scene to help address this situation and deescalate the problem. let me just say, bill, this morning was such an emotional moment. when we heard from those families, our hearts broke for those families. the president, i was in the room, heard one-on-one from families who have lost children like yo are a ahmad arbery's mor

and many others. very emotional and touching moment. this president wanted to share with you he wanted to hear these families. i love you, i hear you, i want to help you. he wanted to communicate that directly he wants to communicate that the american public because -- >> bill: i'm sure that was a tough moment. back to the original answer is money the incentive to getting the reforms through do you think is that what you are saying? >> that's the first component is the discretionary grant. we recognize here at the white house that most of our police officers are good, hard-working people that wants to serve this country and serve their communities. we want more good police officers. so, one thing we will do is have a database. national database so if there is an issue of misconduct that gets reported in. so, for instance, in the case of george floyd, that officer had 18 infractions, that would be in a national database. those kind of important changes are what the president is doing. >> bill: we just had ray kelly on who ran the police department for years here in manhattan. he said all this comes down to

the local level. does the president see that as well? does he agree with that distinction between the federal level and the local? >> that's absolutely the case. look, the states have what's called the police power as embedded in the constitution. meaning it is the responsibility of states and local governments to do most of these changes. that's where the real changes take place. so this president did everything he could in federal executive capacity to make changes because he deeply cares about that. >> bill: if that's the case. tim scott the republican from south carolina is working on this deal in the senate tomorrow. what is in that bill, again, it comes back to the federal level, that the president supports? >> so i don't want to get ahead of the president on that. we are looking at the tim scott bill and others in congress. we wanted to set the model. we did this in coordination with senator scott, who has been a leader on this issue. tim scott was in the needing this morning with those families. he led in helping to craft this executive order. so, too, did the families and so too did police officers. it really was a process of all

stakeholders coming together -- >> bill: the president had spoken this week i think they were speaking on sunday night. you are saying they are on the same beige together? >> they are on the same page. i don't want to get ahead of the president of announcing specific endorsement of legislative proposals. it is true they are working in close coordination. senator scott was in the office t ago. >> bill: here is joe biden's tweet yesterday he writes race, neutral policies is not a sufficient response. the race based disparities. we need to tackle systemic racism head-on and ensure everyone has a fair shot at the american dream. >> what was addressside use of force. we want all americans to be handled in equal, fair manner. the president made that very clear that we're all made in the image of god and there should be no racism in our policing system, our economic system, our schooling system. he has made that clear. but he fundamentally believes most police officers in this

country are good, hard-working people who want to serve their communities and those within them. >> bill: nancy pelosi just put out a statement. she called it weak. >> yeah. so incredibly wrong. this president led. guess what? there has been one action taken on this. and who has taken that action? president trump with this executive order. you know, the 8 years of the previous administration with president obama and vice president biden they had 8 years to make changes. it took president trump much like it took president trump on criminal justice reform. >> bill: two more topics if i could squeeze them in with the time lee left today. vice president mike pence possible venue in tulsa, oklahoma is that a possibility now. >> certainly possible. that's up to the campaign to have that decision. the campaign has had more than a million ticketing requests. i know they want to accommodate as many as possible but that's a decision for them to make. >> bill: i know you are not going to give me yes or no but it could possibly move to a different venue even five days before it happens; is that right? >> i will leave that to the campaign to make that decision.

>> bill: okay. all right. jacksonville, florida. florida is seeing 1,000 new cases a day. i saw the vice president mike pence penned a piece in the "wall street journal" talking about rumors of a second wave will not happen test something also up in florida. what is the level of concern with the convention, jacksonville, florida and where that is now, cailee? >> we are convinced it will be a safe convention and would will ensure that all those who attend will be safe. we're ensuring and looking forward to making sure a second wave doesn't happen and that if there are spikes or embers as the president said that we're prepared. we believe we are prepared and we are encouraged to see that right now the pottivity rate in the country is below 6%. our goal is always below 10%. and it's below 6%. we are heading in the right direction but aware of the embers and spikes that are out there so we can put them out and protects 9 american people. >> bill: if that's the case will we see dr. birx and fauci any time soon because they seemed to have disappeared. >> dr. birx and fauci are hard

at work i'm in task force with them and gathering information interest them. we are moving forward from a number of issues while policing while also keeping in mind cody as we safely reopen the country. >> bill: just to be clear on this i read the pence speech an hour ago. is the white house position there will not be a second wave of covid? >> our position is that we are monitoring it. we can't predict the future. we think we are at a place where we have this under control and keep it under control. but we are monitoring each and every day to ensure that there is not a second wave any time soon. >> bill: let's hope that's the case. kayleigh, thank you for your time today. appreciate you. >> thank you. >> bill: thanks for coming on the north lawn. >> thanks, bill. >> bill: deputy chief of staff george george w. bush and fox news contributor. what did you think about that information, karl? >> that was packed with a lot of information gone through quickly. congratulations to both of you for keeping it on track. >> bill: so we're on track, right? here is the "new york post" today from earlier. this is fine screen right, this

is dangerous screen left. what you are seeing is a rally in brooklyn, new york i do believe. and seeing folks drinking having a beer on a sidewalk on a saturday afternoon. some could apply this same logic to rallies and conventions. do you think that's what is at play in america now? >> we have seen a lot of hypocrisy here. val demings, congresswoman from florida who is under consideration for joe biden's running mate said she participated in the washington, d.c. march and it's hope and optimism. she then attacked holding a rally as being a threat to the health of the entire country, end quote. so, you know, we are likely to see this, i think most people just look at it and say politics. so the people who were so quick to endorse and participate in rallies where people are screaming and shouting are going to be quick to condemn campaign rallies. it's a side issue. but people i think it was wise for the trump campaign to say we

are going to be offering hand sanitizer and masks for everybody who attends. wise if the venue in oklahoma is outside because it got -- both got a big crowd and it's better to be out in the open. >> bill: you are five days away from that nbc news headlines extraordinarily dangerous. trump rally draws grave concerns from top health officials. are you of the mind that red states want to go forward and blue states want to slow down? >> i think that's right. i had a friend of mine at a political event here in texas, republican political event and he is concerned about covid-19. and had his mask and so forth. and he said everybody wanted to shake hands and very few people had masks. and i think there is a sort of red-blue divide. there is another divide though. we have got to be careful about it these public health officials have got to be careful and public officials like governor cuomo have got to be careful about looking like they are political. it's okay if you can participate in a rally presidenting the

president. okay to go back to work and particularly okay to go to a trump rally. these people have got to be -- in my opinion have got to be sort of true to themselves and sensible about everything and realize that the more that they look like they are picking favorite activities and unfavored activities that it undermines the trust and confidence in the american people to pay attention when they really do need to pay attention. >> bill: long two and a half months july and august. what do you think about this? president obama will appear with joe biden next week, virtually. what does that suggest to you? >> well, we knew that president obama was going to toss in with his vice presidential running mate. what's interesting go to me the nature of the event. sure it's virtual because that's where we're. aimed at generating large numbers of small donors. the biden campaign in the last month got $80 million between it and the dnc and super pac. starting to get the big money but they realize that trump's advantage lies among the small

dollar donors who fueled his campaign and continued to do so. interesting they are choosing to deploy the former event at event aimed at small dollar donors who sign up to give a modest amount of money each month each week and amount campaign. >> bill: texas bill bill in a moment, here a landmark decision, neil gorsuch siding with the supreme court's liberal justices on the issue of lgbtq rights. ken starr weighs in on that next. santa anita ♪ limu emu & doug you know limu, after all these years it's the ones that got away that haunt me the most.

justice neil gorsuch wrote the majority decision. i want to bring in fox news contributor, ken starr, former independent councilman white water investigation. sir, niles to see you again. >> thanks, bill. >> bill: you said you were surprised by. this tell us why and what it means. >> well, it's a great victory for the gay community but it was a great loss for the way courts interpret laws that congress passes. let's be clear we are talking about a statute that congress passed in 1964. important law title 7 prohibiting discrimination on employment on various grounds. what the court did yesterday was turn its back on 30 years of interpretation, including by the equal employment opportunity commission until very recent years. so it's a lotter day inspiration and justice alito in dissent used some of the strongest language he has used as a justice leave the result aside

it makes a lot of people happy. what happened yesterday as he said preposterous that this was simply not the way the court should go about its business of interpreting laws that congress passed it should accept the language that congress passed and not make it up. contrived opinion happy result. >> bill: justice alito only one word what the court has done today, legislation, the document that the court releases in the form of a judicial opinion interpreting a statute but that is deceptive. you believe this now enters a long chapter of hard fought legislation explain. >> mostly litigation at this stage. >> bill: litigation. i apologize. keep going. >> it may be legislation as well. but what we do know, bill, is that there are 100 federal statutes on the books right now that forbid discrimination on the basis of, what, sex.

so with this expansive determination there may be nuances. what we are going to see is a flood tide of litigation including issues involving something that should be near and dear to every american's heart and that's religious liberty. what happens when religious schools say i'm so sorry we cannot have the same sex couple here or partner in a same sex marriage teaching here at our school? huge issues lie ahead. >> bill: "wall street journal" writes this today in its op-ed. more than 100 federal laws prevent sexist discrimination and plaintiffs who now use them as a cuddl cudgel to let transgr females compete in women's sports, provide gender neutral rest rooms and force religious institutions to bow to heir cultural wishes. congress could have protected gay rights while working out these accommodations in legislation. the train has left the station. is that the line of litigation that you now predict?

>> yes. on many lines. on many fronts. we now have on the part of the gay community the legal activists in the gay community. this cudgel, a hammer to go after any sort of practice call it traditional practice including distinctions in sports. this transgender issues as you know is enormously important in sports. and amateur sports. so we are just at the beginning of what i'm considering a flood or better yesterday a hurricane of litigation challenging a lot of traditions, a lot of practices that most people goodwill people who don't want to see anyone discriminated would say wait a second. that can't be right to have gender specific restrooms. wait to forbid individuals from participating in a women's sport when, in fact, you know the arguments. and so these arguments are now going to be brought to courts across the country where in i

predict the next decade of litigation over the meaning of and the application of this new approach of the supreme court of the united states turning its back on justice scalia's methodology that we thought was pretty well settled and accepted among all the justices. now we have a very different approach and it is as justice alito put it is very powerful dissent. frankly a preposterous way of interpreting the statute. whether you like it or not, totally different issue. >> bill: underline that and we will see for the next 10 years how it unfolds. thank you, ken starr, nice to see you today for your analysis. thanks. >> thank you, bill. >> bill: covid cases rising in some states and falling in others. are some of the reopening plans about to come to a screechin sc?

atlanta, the wendy's was burned down late saturday night. they're taking questions. it's an ongoing investigation, two arson suspects and they released two photos and rewards with anyone with information. they are looking for the accomplices as we speak. meanwhile half the states have been seeing an increase in covid cases included florida, texas, and arizona. meanwhile here in the northeast the numbers are falling. some local governments are thinking about hitting the brakes. say that and so. casey? >> after days of high record numbers here in the state of texas and also record hospitalizations, a lot of folks here at the lone star state say it's time that the county leader start taking matters into their own hands. that appears to be what is going down in austin. the stay-at-home order has been extended to their through mid-august, and today the

commissioner voted on a new ordinance that would require face masks a dedicated county facilities added those who don't comply could be charged with criminal trespassing. it's unclear whether the governor will challenge those rules because they contradict his own. one of the reasons officials in houston say they have held off on re-implementing any new measures. more than 2500 people are now hospitalized across the state of texas, the highest number since the outbreak began. the governor in an afternoon press conference saying there is no need for people to be alarmed and he's not making plans on rolling back any of the reopening's. >> numerically there is an abundant supply of beds that are available. we do not have to choose between either returning to jobs or protecting health care. >> in the meantime the mayor of nashville is putting the next reopening phase on hold after recent jobs and new cases they are. and in miami the same thing,

that city's mayor sang florida's record-breaking streak of new cases is enough room to push the pause button for that community. and the governors of both utah and oregon say the recent surge of covid infections and those states will keep them from moving forward in terms of moving into the next phase for at least one week they say, until they figure out where this trajectory is going. >> bill: thank you. thank you sir. baseball season, there was some good news. new york governor andrew cuomo says the u.s. open tennis tournament will happen and late august. how about that? no fans though. an executive said we now can give fans around the world a chance to watch tennis as top athletes compete for the u.s. open title and we can showcase tennis as the ideal social distancing sport. baseball could have done something like that two months ago. skill competition, home run
