google as politically motivated for allegedly blocking advertisements from conservative website the federalist. jillian: nbc news allegedly pushed the tech giant to pull the lab -- the ad. >> reporter: a move by google to pull at for conservative site has come under fire after an apparent pushed by nbc to remove ads from the federalist site over what it considers offensive coverage of george floyd's protest and pushing unsubstantiated claims. about black lives matter. senator ted cruz calling it an obvious political move saying, quote, the culture of free speech in this country is under attack and google is helping lead the charge. google's decision to target the federalist is transversely politically motivated. google's discriminatory conduct is contrary to the principles of free speech embodied in the first amendment, may well

violate federal antitrust laws as well. the editor of the federalist says it is an attempt by google to force a shutdown by cutting off red -- ad revenue. >> this is about trying to get the federalist d platforms, d monetized and shut down because somebody at nbc news doesn't like the fact that we often criticize nbc news and other mainstream media outlets for being dishonest and disingenuous which they are all the time and this is a great case in point. what you just explains, the entire story came out because nbc news brought this to google's attention it asked google to comment on it or do something about it. >> reporter: google is pushing back in a statement saying, quote, the federalist was never d monetized and their ads are continuing to run. we have strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can run on which includes comments on sites and we also work with the federalist to address the situation. google does admit to putting ads for one of the conservative site. the company says the site should

-- had artie been d monetized before the nbc news inquiry. todd: a big story. the publisher at the federalist will join "fox and friends" at 8:15 this morning. jillian: facebook logic a new push to register voters ahead of the house hearing on election security tomorrow. users will see a voting information center. facebook says the goal is to register 4 million people to vote. mark zuckerberg writing, quote, i believe facebook has responsibly not just to prevent voter suppression but to actively support well-informed voter engagement registration and turn out. rob: nine state record high in coronavirus cases, the washington post reporting the states set one they were weekly records in new case averages as vice president pence says fears of a second wave are overblown,

writing in the wall street journal op-ed thanks to the leadership of donald trump and the courage and compassion of the american people and public health system is far stronger than it was four months ago. jillian: a judge rejecting the request to stop trump's rally in tulsa, at the management company, organizers to force attendees to use facemasks and requires social distancing, they are providing masks and hand sanitizer. >> trump supporters lining up outside, more than 1 million people requested tickets. donald trump signed an executive order to reform police department across the country. >> americans know the truth, without police there is chaos, without law there is anarchy. jillian: our next guest was at

the signing and says this is a step in the right direction.

>> americans know the truth. without police there is chaos. without law there is anarchy. without safety there is catastrophe. we need leaders at every level of government with the moral clarity to state these obvious facts. rob: the president signing an executive order on safe policing for safe communities in an attempt to calm tensions in cities nationwide. jillian: our next guest look forward to working with the white house to make positive changes. joining us live, the president of the federal law enforcement officers association, thank you for being here, appreciate it. >> thank you for having me on. jillian: does this go far enough? >> a first step in the right

direction, the discussion we need to come together collaboratively to work with the african-american community, and law enforcement as a whole to build trust and moving forward. rob: let's give people a breakdown of what it is the white house has put together, just some bullet points, credentialing and certification standards on the use of force. also tracking officers with use of force complaints to keep these officers that get in trouble from getting jobs and covert responder programs which are experts in mental health, homelessness and addiction sending social worker out with police in situations to de-escalate the situation with someone not mentally capable. those bullet points does it sound like a good plan to you and what would you add if you could? >> absolutely that is a starting point and it is important to involve mental health

professionals in helping professional law enforcement officers at the state, local and federal level because sometimes you deal with people with mental health issues, addiction issues and some that are homeless with mental health issues that officers are not trained to do that. that is a step in that right direction. as far as individual officers that are adjudicated or not fit for the job, it is important to have early intervention and track, maybe retrain someone, different policies and procedures, that is important and a step in the right direction also. that is an important way to move forward with the discussion and helping out overall. jillian: here's what democrats say about this and are quite critical. senator kamala harris, quote,

completely misses the mark, we need legislation that will put us on a tap toward real public safety. nancy pelosi says falls mysteriously short of what is required to combat the epidemic of racial injustice and police brutality. this executive order will not deliver the comprehensive meaningful change and accountability that americans are demanding. what do you say to the critics and does this do enough to hold police accountable? >> i believe it is a beginning and an important point to move forward in the whole discussion and we could move forward. i'm not a politician in our organization is not political. it is about policy and procedures to move forward with discussion to better the law-enforcement profession and the communities we serve and make sure no one is discriminated in this country at all and that is important and an important issue. it is a step in the right direction.

we welcome any discussion from anyone, whether it is from house democrats, the senate, doesn't matter who they are, talk to them about what is going on or how to better every community and ensure everyone is treating equal your across-the-board. rob: thank you for your time. jillian: it is 16 after the reform as seattle occupiers in the chop zone get new city officials. rob: a steroid showing promise in fighting coronavirus. doctor mark siegel says this discovery could save thousands of lives. he joins us coming up. in my line of work,

>> a harvard professor pleads not guilty to hiding his ties with the chinese recruitment program, he was arrested in january accused of hiding his involvement with the program that recruits people with knowledge of technology and intellectual property to china. if convicted he faces 5 years in prison. rob: china is forcing people into quarantine as beijing goes into coronavirus lockdown. they made the move because of a serious new outbreak at a wholesale market. the owner of the market claims it was spread by infected salmon imported into the country. the chinese government argues there is no evidence of that. a new study out of oxford university could provide a breakthrough in the battle against birx. jillian: scientists find a new drug that could decrease risk of

death in serious cases. >> this is very positive finding and a robust find and well done study. it will have an immediate impact on what doctors have in the icu changer we have been waiting for? doctor mark siegel, thanks for coming on. what do you make of this new drug? >> this drug has been around since the late 1950s, it is about one dollar a pill and i will tell you why it works against birx and is a very exciting finding. because birx causes a lot of inflammation in the blood vessels coming in the lungs, in the heart, a lot of, almost have come from that issue, blood clotting and inflammation. this is an anti-inflammatory drug. this increases inflammation. if used early enough it looks

like it could have a big impact. it is a large study out of england, about 7000 patients were studied, 4000 actually got the drug and if you are on a ventilator with very little hope left there was a one third decrease in deaths, one third. if you are on oxygen, 150 decrease in death. being in the hospital and be on oxygen had an impact. it could play an enormous role. peer-reviewed and studies, results look promising. it may be combined with an antiviral drug that also looks good right now, remdesivir. jillian: the study talks about ventilator patients, would it be used for just serious conditions or could be used for everyone? someone who might have common symptoms and don't need to go to the hospital? who is going to take this?

>> excellent question. for now it will start with patients that are just going into the hospital, not just ventilator but people on oxygen which is three quarters of all patients the go into hospital with remdesivir. then it will be looked at further with the exact question you're asking, what if i have a high risk condition, what if i get short of breat is a different one but very close cousin to prednisone. should i take the steroid when i get sick? rob: let's switch to what we have seen happen in the nursing home and care facilities across the country from this virus that has been devastating, a new milestone that is 50,000 deaths now in these nursing homes, long-term care facilities. you have seen a lot of care

providers have immunity to this. a number of states, we can pull them up, but shield these providers from any responsibility for this. what is your message to the politicians like governor cuomo in new york that sent people into these facilities when they were sick? >> i'm deeply deeply disturbed about this issue. the report shows 50,000 of 116,000 desecrating nursing homes, not enough personal protective equipment. we just talked about high risk groups and we need treatments. they are at such high risk and close together in a nursing home and not enough equipment personal protective equipment to go around and in new york and pennsylvania and michigan and other states people readmitted to nursing homes that are birx positive. this is an absolute disgrace, not a surprising finding. it is something that really has to be clamped down on. if you are sick in a nursing home and they think you have birx you have to get out or at least be extremely well isolated

from the rest of the population and workers in these nursing homes have to be tested on a regular basis. jillian: thank you for joining us. it is 25 after the hour. new york city reassigned hundreds of officers targeting violent crimes as the murder rate is surging. rob: the partner of an nypd detective killed for simply wearing the uniform joins us with his message.

temporary barriers with concrete one sees the flow of traffic amid these protests, the move condensing chop from 6 blocks to three. the fire chief weighing in on the agreement. >> they are 4000 pounds, a vehicle hits that will have an airbag impact. it provides a safer space. >> reporter: donald from weighing in on the zone. >> willing to help in seattle. there will be no more looting or arson and the penalty will be very grave for those who get caught. violence and destruction will not be tolerated. >> reporter: mayor dirk and tweeting we made changes to facilitate first amendment activities. hundreds of protesters sitting on a bridge in portland, their calls for police reform and funding stretching into its nineteenth straight day.

[chanting] >> reporter: the city council will decide whether to cut the police budget by $16 million and eliminate 80 positions but they are not the only city with cutting funding for police, the e mayor creating a new department made of unarmed trained specialists including social workers and in los angeles the city plans to cut the police budget by $150 million in direct $250 million to jobs and key centers, the city council looking to appoint social workers to respond to nonviolent calls instead of officers. rob: the disbanding of the violent crime unit comes as the city's murder rate is surging to the highest in more than a decade. is a good time to do this? merit >> our next guest lost his partner to a gunman in a horrific consensus attack and he

says we need officers in the street. joining us is nyc detective, thank you for joining us, appreciate it, you have multiple ends of the spectrum today that you are up against. a situation like what happened to your partner, you have what is going on with george floyd and his death and officers involved in that. how hard is it to do your job today? >> these are challenging times for anybody in uniform, a time we have not seen in a very long time. years ago when i came on the job nearly 90s there were similar situations because of the extreme crack epidemic the city was under siege at that time. it is difficult but back then we

made some changes, lifted and adjusted our policing strategies and took the city back over, took control, made it safe again. unfortunately we are going backwards right now. i am confident we will turn it around. rob: as we look at the murder numbers up 133%, shootings up 53%, shooting victims, 45%. you are talking early 90s, david dickens as mayor, you hear stories about how bad crime was. the city made a big turnaround. how delicate is the situation? how easy is it to flip into those horrible years of the past? >> easier than we ever expected. >> in those early years in the 80s and 90s, we did turn it around and oddly enough we

turned around rather quickly. the change couldn't take place until making a change by the use of aggressive police strategies, aggressive law enforcement strategies, broken windows, specialized units on the street, warrant divisions designated criminals as recidivists offenders, these are things we did back then to make the city safe, we are taking those things away, is it a surprise we are taking a step backward? >> those who don't know what happened, can you please remind everyone how devastating it is to get that phone call and hear the news?

>> in july 5th, 2017, we were at a temporary headquarters. a gunman tried to assassinate us, a gunman shot at us. she was mortally injured that day and it is your worst nightmare as a cop. many years on the job i have seen police officer deaths, it is different and heavy cross to bear. >> the other two officers, it was awful. what do you say to politicians

that use divisive in this between communities and police as a political tool. >> politicians need to stay in offices where they belong, working on creating laws and creating changes. cops on the street, nobody knows better how to police the city and let them do their job. don't make them the villains, don't take the side of the criminal. these negative police interactions that are happening in the country, very simple part of that needs to be understood, none of that takes place if a crime isn't committed. if you do commit crimes that are

caught, don't resist the police, take your arrest, get your day in court, use your due process and you will never hear a police officer disagree with somebody who truly believes they were mishandled by the police, have an investigation, having an investigation, have the officer held accountable if there is wrongdoing. nobody wants that more than the men and women meeting the standard every day. rob: well said. a great message this morning. >> time to go to senior meteorologist janice dean. a flu of whether happening across that. >> we are dealing with spectacular weather this week. upper-level cut off low brought

so much to the southeast. that system is going to move northward in virginia will get potentially 1 to 2 inches of heavy rain and the storm will move off. across the northwest that is a big news story because they are getting snow, and quite a bit of it. the first day of summer is this weekend and we have winter weather warnings in parts of idaho through montana as well as wyoming. not only a foot the two feet of snow as the system moves northward. we could see potential for severe storms across that. severe threat as we go through the high plains, northern plains, isolated tornadoes, the rest of the country looks like summertime across the central us

and the cut off low over the mid-atlantic, northeast looks great and potential for wildfire danger across the southwest, gusty windss and dry conditions with warm temperatures, a little of everything across the nation. i can report it is mostly sunny in new york city. rob: good to see you. jillian: 38 after the hour. trips on airplanes could be a thing of the past. rob: airlines restricting alcohol on flights amid this pandemic.

>> several airlines banning alcohol sales to stop the spread of coronavirus. >> airlines making this move,

what do we make of this? >> reporter: as if flying during a pandemic is an stressful enough, one must option to relax when on board your next airplane flight. delta and american limiting the presence of alcohol on board, banning the consumption of booze as well as domestic flights, in mexico, canada, the caribbean and central america. they say, quote, reduce physical touch points between customers, depending on the length of the flight and first-class and international passengers will get served alcohol. over the uk, virgin atlantic will not serve alcohol for now but they continue to review the decision as things the fall.

what they will do differently than this president and make them understand can't have a return to normal area not governing by tweet but normal public policy. rob: your response? >> in 2016 it is like groundhog day, the same incidents, showed us the silent majority as powerful as it is in 2016 as it is, governing from his basement. rob: let's look at 2016, october, one month out, look at the lead over donald trump, if you later bet at that time you thought for sure you were going to win on hillary clinton. what happened? >> in the final days, you mail

it in and have eventual the celebrities, lebron and beyoncé, joe biden will not have the same issue. >> joe biden doesn't want to leave the house right now and donald trump has got the tulsa rally coming up. biden doesn't have a lot of energy, we can agree on that. >> from tells the, joe biden, trying to have youtube videos from his basement. >> were not gathering tens of thousands of people in a room, with a treatment for this virus,

there is a cavalier attitude toward public health, we have 200,000 dead by the november election. it can be public health interest. >> what do you say, they respond. >> you want a president to lead from behind, or donald trump has come into the front, rallying the american people and bringing the american people together to say we will get through this together and it will be the biggest comeback in american history. >> that would be fine if you had an actual treatment or actual vaccine was all he is doing a say we've given up on trying to fight this virus and going to pretend it does not exist, you use the word silent majority which is a nixonian term. what he was saying is we will

not be paying attention to the vietnam protesters, not paying attention to civil rights protesters, we will use the silent majority in the south to win the election. rob: let me cut in, do you see a similar story to what we saw in 2016 happening this year? lazier candidate with a big lead taking it for granted? >> absolutely. the silent majority, it will help tremendously and democrat party get so distracted with the polling numbers they go home and become complacent. rob: thank you, we will be right back.

fox news headlines, 247 sirius fm 115 with response from the social media. >> this is unbelievable. 8 years ago kayleigh mcenany posted a tweet saying fun fact. dominoes is way better than any nyc pizza. to which domino's responded saying that's one heck of a compliment thanks for the love. we appreciate it. that twitter exchange resurfaced this week and people started attacking domino's. for example, rick wilson.

rick wilson a political consultant and recent trump critic went so far to tell domino's they just killed their brand. domino's defended itself it's unfortunate that thank ago customer for a compliment back in 2012 would be viewed as political. i guess that's 2020 for you. that response making sense to a lot of people. chaz says i'm ordering domino's this week based on that response. another person chiming in saying all politics aside, domino's is at best mediocre. you know, that was a little bit of a pizza review there 2012 or 2020 it should be okay for a company to thank any customer without fear of repercussion or being shamed. so, that's cancel culture for you. rob: so stupid. jillian: this story is the unity i feel we all need right now. >> so a tennessee police officer who is white is thanking two african-american women who prayed for his breakfast. sumner county patrol deputy jody
