communities of color and that's just a false choice. you can actually serve america and bring the two groups together. we will live up what they said today and the president said it don't like it started at the executive order press conference and have continued since then for ag barr to follow through on so many of the tragedy is tragedies. >> sandra: we have more from mayor rudy giuliani. john roberts is reporting live from the north lawn this morning. happy wednesday morning john, good morning. >> sandra and ada, he hopes the executive order will be signed yesterday with just one part. at the there are limits to what the federal government can do and can offer up suggestions many of which have been adopted in the past. it can tie federal funding as an incentive to police reform. the president outlining three areas he wants to deal with in this executive area including creating credentialing and

certification standards to adopt best practices on the use of force by law enforcement agencies across country. information sharing, tracking people with excessive use of force complaints and experts in mental health, homelessness and addiction will join police. the president acknowledging that there are bad cops that are out there but he insists that they are rare, and they need to be rooted out. listen. >> president trump: there are very tiny percentage, but you have them. but nobody wants to get rid of them more than the overwhelming number of a really good and great police officers. >> south carolina senator tim scott expected to outline his legislation to inform police of this hour. king of no knock warrantsabase, and commissions to study policing and race.

there is an idea of what's called so called qualified immunity which protects law enforcement and other people from legal action unless they actually violate the law. the democrats say that they want to get rid of that but republicans and the president are say no qualified immunity has to stay in place. sandra? >> sandra: at the doj now is suing to block the publication of that book written by former national security advisor john bolton. >> this thing has been bound up and printed and is ready for release and it's called "the room where it happened" and it paints a not so flattering picture of the president's foreign policy. this has a lot of it according to john bolton seem to object to do with reelection more than anything else. this is something that bolton's attorneys will key in on i'm sure. it is a timeline to the prepublication review that bolton went through with the national security agency. at the national security council

rather, paragraph 46, it says on or around april 27th, ms. knight, who is the prepublication review person at the nse detailed for the national archives -- hold on for that purchase a second if you would, completed her review, and determined it had not contained classified information. she had signed off on it and over to nsc legal but the national security council started up another review which continues to be on ongoing. john bolton says we are reviewing the government's complaint and we will respond in due course. the publisher saying this is nothing more than the latest in a long-running series of efforts by the administration to request publication of a book it deems unflattering to the president. john bolton has already done the major network television interview that set to air on sunday night. this goes to the issue of prior restraint which was knocked down during the nixon administration. i think the administration has a pretty high bar if it wants to get a federal judge to put out

an injunction against the publication of john bolton's book but this no doubt will be a big fight between the doj and john bolton's attorneys. we will keep watching it. >> sandra: more on that coming up. another busy day in washington, john roberts. >> ed: for more of the president's executive order, let's bring in rudy giuliani, former new york city mayor and president trump's attorney. good morning. >> good morning, eddie. >> ed: clearly the president and the rose garden made clear we need to root out the bad cops and stop senseless violence. but i also remember on 9/11 when you arrived at ground zero, debris was falling, the towers were burning people were literally leaping to their death so they would have a sudden death rather than waiting to be burned alive. what goes through your mind when you hear some people in the country say, defund the police? >> that's a terrible, terrible overreaction to what's been

created is almost in a hysterical reaction to a single incident, and not just a single incident, some incidences of police wrongdoing where they actually are unjustified and the use of force. as a president pointed out and as we all know i think logically, 99% if not more of the police contact with the public is appropriate. either no use of force or in many cases, the use of force saved their lives. after all more police officers are shot and killed by blacks than police officers are shoot and kill african-americans. the unarmed shooter, there are only nine of them against blacks, 20 against whites, in 2019 so that will give you a sense. meanwhile there were 9,000 murders of blacks. 7500 of which were black on

black. >> ed: as of the president is trying to deal with that. >> that's absolutely right. that's not to minimize the fact that those nine incidences or more are very serious. obama had years and biden had years to deal with this and did not. so this is a very good idea. to have standard and have accountability, to have a way of reviewing it and to have a base of knowledge from which we can get an idea of, how big is this problem and can i solve it? >> the president sat down with harris faulkner a few days ago. speak to rudy giuliani in his own way is a very compassionate man because he was able to stop tremendous -- you look at his record as a mirror, he was able to stop crime. we went from one of the most unsafe cities to the safest large city in the country, by

far. i mean, by far. rudy did a great job. if you look at what's going on, you get back to where they are. it's including the crucial memorial day weekend. new york's murder rate more than doubled to 42 murders from 18 the year before, a jolt of 133%. shooting victims including the wounded are up 45% and that stabbings are up as well. just last week the commissioner here with mayor de blasio has disbanded a unit of about 600 undercover police officers. what's happening to the city that you love? >> it is being taken over by off the cliff ridiculous ideas, that led to a couple of years of 2,000 plus mergers. and the two of us together got it less than 300.

we got the city to be the safest large city in america and mayor de blasio is ruining the citizens of the city. to talk about defunding or disbanding police, after the seven days of riots that he allowed, after seven days of his telling the police to stand there and watch the riots while people were being beaten up, businesses were being destroyed and new york was made a place to look ridiculous. and now to have an increase in murders is totally, totally insane. >> ed: let's move forward. last night, bret baier was pressing a democratic leader, jim clyburn, about the fact that the president has pushed through and signed into law. the first step back, criminal justice reform, and yet jim clyburn would not give him credit. watch. >> none of that is true. the fact of the matter is --

none of that is true. i went through hbcu. that is just absolutely -- >> what about the first step act or opportunity zones? >> how long have we been trying to get these things done? >> the administration did it. it wasn't the obama administration that did it. >> you can argue if you want to but it's just not true. i give credit where credit is due but i know better than that. >> so moving this forward if there should be some low-hanging fruit. they won't even admit that the president has done criminal justice reform. >> they will remind you of the

fact that they've been around forever. that reminds me of so many in new york. they are the ones that have done this. now, at least say, this guy has been in office forever. he's the guy that's been standard to it, don't you see, they lie to it all the time. the democrats say what did you

do what when you were in power. >> finally missed a mirror, john roberts are trying to stop the publication of this book by john bolton. and is it also true that you, and the president and others a are, and i remember john bolton said you were a hand grenade? >> and, i think i'm in a pretty good position to prove it. calling me names, that's one of the nicest names i've been called ends.

and his desire for war which is kind of sick > -- >> he was the national security advisor. you are calling in sick for the president picked him to be in this powerful position and he's now coming out and wants to speak, why can't he say what he saw? >> i don't care if he says what he saw, if they want to publish what he says about me, i'm sure that's not classified. i'm happy to have him do it and i'm happy to respond to it because he's a backstabbing. he never came to me and gave me his concerns, he was concerned about that.

after 9/11, baseball as you know, you were new, it helped to bring this country together. all we ever going to see them do that again? >> edit, he finally got me to breakdown on the air and cry. finally after all these years, i'm going to start crying immediately. so we can have something to watch and enjoy. the american people and talking about, we need that boost in morale right now. steve linick mr. mayor, we appreciate your time today, and i will buy you a hot dog. >> and i will buy the beer. i probably can't say that. >> sandra: accusations of censorship meanwhile, they google to ban the conservative

publications the ad platform. they are already said they will fall short of what is needed. they will be speaking live to georgia congressman, and that's changes to law enforcement. >> president trump: . that's this safest catastrophe. immune health. immune health. you try to stay ahead of the mess. but scrubbing still takes time. now there's new powerwash dish spray. it's the faster way to clean as you go. just spray, wipe and rinse. it cleans grease five times faster.

>> sandra: missouri senator josh hawley introducing a bill to allow big tech companies speak to be for censorship. and warning the federalists about their comment section meanwhile, let's bring in miranda devine. break this down for us, what's happening here and how lawmakers are responding. >> good morning, sandra.

i too pressured google into basically demonetizing. and now we see, and nbc will eventually, someone will do the same thing to it and it will be careful. but the real story is this gigantic monopoly, google, which has stuck to the media dry. and has made its money from our content, stilling our content and monetizing it. it's all run by the millionaire and billionaire moguls who are all left wings.

they are not even hiding it. after the 2016 election, and they will do bigger next time i see that unfold. >> sandra: senator risch senator ted cruz's blessing this treatment of the front federalists. google seems more than happy to play the censorship role and trying to break the financial back up and publication for book this is a federalists cofounder, sean davis went on the sean hannity's show last night saying a site from us this would be even more disruptive for some

of the smaller outlets out the there. now most people, 99.9% of people who get canceled or do platform to come they don't have any recourse. and they have no idea what is happening with the real crime. >> sandra: obviously he was on with tucker last night but the american people see this happening, and they wonder when they go on for the platform, it's what they are seeing and what they are receiving. it's but what is being censored by these massive technology company. >> yes, it is. the entire premise of the company is, they are not supposed to be acting as editors, and yet they are not subject to sort of the same legal liability whether it's on

defamation law or contempt law. so they are reaping all the money without any responsibili responsibility, and that will be used to break up the companies that have been too big and posing a threat to consumers. i don't understand why google is not being broken up, and i don't know why republicans are dragging their feet. >> sandra: i want to finish with just this quick statement from google on the federalists. it says, the federalists was never demonetized. we worked with them to address issues on their site related to the comment section and they are basically standing by. this is a long-standing policy, says google. miranda devine, thanks for being here this morning. >> thanks, sandra. >> ed: in the meantime, north korea is issuing threats

>> sandra: we are awaiting a news conference from senate republicans at this hour to unveil the justice act. they plan to -- pushback from democrats who say it just doesn't go far enough. where do you see bipartisan agreement on reforming our police? >> it has to happen because of the politics of, and that focuses on the real issues you need to hear about. making sure accountability

happens but also giving them the technology in the training to make sure that police are trained in de-escalation and making sure they understand how to deal with mental health andao continuing the price us. but bipartisan agreement can happen. that was a criminal justice bill, then that's how you get stuff done. you get politics aside and you have to get to what actually works. you wonder how far both sites are. listen to this. >> a republican colleagues seem to be on the path that's taking a much narrower and less inclusive approach which is wrong. >> the house version is going nowhere in the senate.

we have no interest in that. >> sandra: what do you think about what democrats are putting forward? >> so when you hear chuck schumer saying this is too narrow, when you hear mcconnell rightfully say this bill is too much of a broad overreach, we start looking at the things we can do. we start the set the stage for the things of candy which is accountability, looking at the ability to make sure the actors and cop uniforms are getting out of those roles and move them on. we look at the issue we have in the police department on how we can actually remove that, we see had too many times were bad actors in the law enforcement community are not able to move out. we need to see other body cameras and other things that can work and i think what you

just showed is that there is something -- the president is on board to get these things fixed in the proper way. again, we saw this in the first step act and criminal justice reform, and we got it done for the american people. >> sandra: if you are looking at the end you see this live look on capitol hill, and you just wonder is the moment being seized, exchange of going to come from all of this? what do you think comes from all that. >> we make community safer again, we have law enforcement are taking steps and making sure that how they handle their interactions with the community is not only come up protecting lives and property is anna, and

i believe the senate and the house and it's a bipartisanship issue it's got to happen in real ways. we have to show ways of the federal government working with our state and local partners have the ultimate responsible to you to make happens. >> sandra: obviously this is become a big election issue as well. they are taking the opportunity to bless the presidents on this idea so far. congressman, thank you. >> good morning. thank you for coming out this

morning. let me just say to leader mcconnell thank you for the opportunity to have this conversation as we approach you about the importance of this issue and ask that will give you the opportunity to share some thoughts and, have a real conversation with america about the importance of police reform. accountability, and transparency. that's exactly what the justice act focuses on. police reform, accountability and transparency. we were also smart enough to put together a really strong group of senators who understand the issue and are passionate about the issues, and it, this is a

false binary choice. if you support in america, he restore the confidence that communities of color have in the institutions of authority. we know that the overwhelming number of officers in this nation want to do their job and go home to the family. and it speaks to the fact that we believe the overwhelming number of officers in this nation are good people. working hard to come up trying to keep order in the community. communities of color, and people like myself, i've told myself several times, stopped several times in one year.

i got a warning ticket for failing to use my turn signal earlier in my lane change. this issue continues and that's why it's so important to us to say that we hear you. we are listening to your concerns. i think that speaks to the families that i spoke with yesterday's who lost loved ones. we hear you. a young person's concern when he stopped by the law enforcement officers, we see you. so what does this package do? three major areas. one is on the area we have to have the right information, and that leads to slightly save her officers and savor us suspects

in instances of challenges. when serious bodily injuries occur, today only 40% of the department's report that information to the fbi. we have the case in louisville, kentucky, we don't have any information around no knock warrants. so for us to start a conversation with manning no knocks doesn't sound like a solid position based on any data because we don't have the data. once we have the information, we can then turn to the training that is necessary, to de-escalate situations. the duty to intervene, not standing there watching an officer with his knee on the neck but intervening in those situations. we can train our officers better, we can find ways and mechanisms to date de-escalate the situation so we spent a lot of time in the training aspect,

we are using the resources of our grants to reduce the situation and the violence in those situations. we believe about the preservation of records on the local levels, so the departments within the states have a chance to see almost a reference check. and what the president's executive order, and we believe that our policy positions that brings communities of color into a position of stronger understanding and confidence in the institution of authority. and we believe it brings our law enforcement to to de-escalate some of these situations and frankly through james lankford's work on this

package we bring in the opportunity to hire more officers and hire more training and have a better perspective on the history. i'm going to give it over to senator mcconnell. >> even before george floyd and breonna taylor, senator scott has made it possible for those of us in the conference who are not african-american to understand that this problem still exists. we learned about his being stopped on numerous occasions well before the events of this year. but the witnessing of the murder of george floyd and the experience in my hometown of breonna taylor certainly brings to the forefront of this issue for all americans including senate republicans. my role as leader is to decide

what we are going to do. floor time is the coin of the rome and the senate because it does take a while to do almost anything. so what i'm announcing today is after we do two circuit judges who are queued up either early this week or next week, we will turn to the scott bill. i'm going to file cloture on a motion to proceed. our democratic friends, if they want to make a law and not just try to make a point, i hope they will join us in getting on the bill and it trying to move forward in the way that the senate does move forward when it's trying to actually get an outcome rather than just sparring back and forth which you all have seen on frequent occasions by both sides. also, i want to think the whole team behind us, everybody has contributed significantly to this product but without tim's leadership's, it would not have been possible and without his

leadership, i wouldn't be putting this on the floor. i want you to know that we are serious about making a law here. this is not about creating partisan differences, this is about coming together and getting an outcome. we showed we could do that on the cares act, we shone it on the great american outdoors act and we need to show it on the scottsville. >> this is about making a law, not just making a point. this is about trying to work in the most bipartisan way we can work. get it on the floor, let's have amendments and talk through the process. equal justice under the law shouldn't be a partisan issue. a friend of mine and i were talking a couple of weeks ago and his comment is it's not that our founding principles are off, our founding principles are right. we are still working on trying to be more perfect union and we have a ways to go on them. when we find areas where we don't have a more perfect union, we should engage in those. so let me give you a couple of

examples. senator scott has gone through multiple different areas on the bill and there is a section of the bill that actually a black police officer in oklahoma city for strays with me, to say what the possibility of putting grants out there to be able to help more departments hire black recruiters and then be able to help individuals that are coming through the training and the police department to have that ability? where communities and the law enforcement don't match as far as ethnicity, could the federal government engage and help incentivize that? that's one of the aspects of this bill, how are we encouraging more people color to be able to engage in the community that's been a challenge at times, to say let's break through that and be able to solve that. we have a great asset here even in washington, d.c. the museum of african-american history this year and it's underutilized to be able to explain the story of what's the relationship between race and law enforcement. it's utilized by some but not by most. this is a way to incentivize how

we can use that great resource to be able to tell the story nationwide as well. this is about transparency, this is about trying to provide information to law enforcement and to individuals. this is about accountability but it's also about trying to build up more perfect union. if we want to have more equal justice under the law than let's work towards having more equal justice under the law. and as senator scott mentioned, not to be pro-law enforcement with pro-communities of color but to be pro-american process. >> one, i want to thank him for taking on this task for all of us. he's the right person at the right time and god has a plan for you and you are fulfilling the plan, you are trying to bring us together as a country. i spent five hours on the judiciary committee listening yesterday and it was a fascinating hearing. it is a process in the air force called listen, learn and out leader.

to my colleagues on the other side who said we talk too much and we don't need to listen anymore, where were you for the eight years of the obama administration? i'm getting a little tired of being lectured to by my democratic colleagues that all of this is trump's fault. you had eight years under president obama and the justice and policing act and none of it was taken up virtually so let's knock that off. you are making no points with me trying to suggest that we are bad and you all are not when it comes to this issue. you had eight years, no attempts to ban choke hold or no attempts to do any of the things that we all agree we need to do now. if you want to fight about that, let's fight. if you want to admit that the country needs to move on together, let's do it. so as to president trump's executive order, good start. i appreciate him starting the conversation. he brought families into the white house and they appreciated being listened to by their president. to my democratic colleagues, i

appreciate putting together your list. i'd like to work with you. but we are not going to get there if we keep playing this game. that we are exclusively to blame here. now, their shopping list, for lack of better term, of what to do compared to tandems, there's a lot of overlap. but there are some real differences. how do you hammer out those real differences? you talk to each other. after the hearing i have multiple democratic colleagues come up to me and say, let's try to reconcile our differences. to the american people. after the hearing i am more hopeful than it was before the hearing that there is going to be a genuine effort to bring reform to a problem that's been going on well before president obama and if we don't

do something about it it's going to go on well past president trump. thank you for your leadership. >> for me this conversation is about trust, justice and reconciliation, as the chairman of the judiciary committee said. it's evident that there are communities in our country who have lost trust in law enforcement based on their experience and that is where we have had an opportunity to learn from tim and others who feel like they have been disproportionately focused on by law enforcement sometimes for pretextual reasons. but i had an opportunity to talk to george floyd's family from houston, texas, and rodney, his brother told me, he said senator, we are from texas and we want some text the size

justice. and i said that, mr. floyd to come up to the best of my ability that's exactly what we will deliver. so thanks to senator scott's leadership and the contribution of everyone here, we will all have a chance to it try to attempt this reconciliation to restore trust in some of our most important institutions like our police. one of the things that is included in this piece of legislation is the bill that may look familiar which is one that creates a national criminal justice commission. this is a bipartisan bill that i introduced for chairman grandma and gary peters, the democrat from michigan, in 2015. it has cleared the senate previously which means all 100 senators have had a chance to pass that bill and it died in the house, and basically we ran out of time. in my view we need to do

something in the immediate time frame and we need to look at what do we need to do in the long term to reformat criminal justice system? and that's exactly what this bipartisan commission would do. it would report back to congress in 18 months with specific recommendations. i think not like the 9/11 commission, that would be extraordinarily helpful. it's really hard for congress given the day-to-day things that we deal with to take the broadview and this would allow us to garner there are recommendations of experts all across the country and then take up their recommendations and pass them as congress sees fit. tim, thank you for your great leadership and thanks for letting me be part of the team. >> i want to thank all of you for being here today. i think our main message today is that the justice act is working towards a solution. and it's not a political

exercise. i said the other day on an interview i had, and i was just sitting there thinking about it, that if this is a pivotal moment in our country's history, and if we as congress, as republicans and democrats joining together failed to act because of the crying voices that we hear every day about this, then we will be deemed a failure. in the eyes of so many, not just our communities of color but our young people are losing faith and trust in our law enforcement, and in our ability to react to situations where we can be helpful and where we should be helpful. so racial discrimination has no place in this country. i think of a mother who is telling her young blacks on how to react when you get pulled over in a car. a much different conversation then that many of other people in this country are having with their young sons talking about

how to react. that young man doesn't know how he's going to be received by the officer and the fear, really, that you would feel in that situation is very, very real. so, many of us are overwhelmed by what we've seen with the george floyd situation and what we saw happening in minneapolis but we do know that the vast majority of police officers in this country are good people. these are hard jobs. they are jobs that people have in their hearts and communities to want to keep their communities safe, to want to have places to raise their families that are safe. and that are dedicated to the rule of law. so i think this is a moment to spur action so that every citizen will know that equal protection means equal protection. and we go back as james said to the constitution and the rights that are provided. but it doesn't mean defunding the police. that means improving the police.

improving and restoring the faith in our law enforcement and that is what the justice asked does. one of the conversations that tim and i had just recently was about the choke hold situation. and i said after watching the george floyd tape more than a few times, we have got to get rid of these. many states, many communities, many law enforcement communities have already abandoned that as a technique and a tactic. so i'm pleased that we have gone in that direction and we think the result would be an elimination of the choke hold as a strategy of restraint. so i think there's absolutely no conflict between being pro-civil right and a pro-law enforcement and i think that's whatin this . so to my colleagues on the other side, we need to have this conversation in front of the american people on the house -- floor of the u.s. senate because

we can debate different ideas and debate different strategies, compromise like we do when we need to come up and we should, and not to be a failure to the people and the voices who are crying out daily for us to help. so thank you, tim, for your leadership and thanks to all of you on the team. this isn't the whole team, any, many people have weighed in on this not just in the senate but also throughout the country and i think them for that. thank you. >> thanks, shelley, and thanks for all of you for making time for us. i want to applaud senator scott with his leadership in this. as leader mcconnell said in the beginning this is a topic that many of us have had in the conference repeatedly, way too many times. i'm glad the leader has put this on the schedule to put it on the floor. i want to underscore three things that tim said. first of all it's a false binary

to set this up at the debate between people of color and law enforcement. communities of color and folks who are trying to maintain the public trust. we need to restore and build public trust which starts by trying to narrow the differences and figure out what we can get done to move forward together, so the fact that this is actually on the floor this week is a big deal. they've been working round-the-clock the last two weekends to get this to a place where the leader could decide to change the schedule and put this forward next week. this should be a chance for us to move forward. point number two as tim said, the vast majority of law enforcement, they want to support. at the idea of america, they want to support local stable justice which is improving this union as james said, which is the right creedal aspiration of

america and we fail in lots of ways to live up to our belief in our foundational documents. the vast majority of police, many of us have spent a lot of time with law enforcement both in our own states and across country over the last few weeks. you see police that are agonizing about these mistakes and that they want a better hiring they want better training. they want improvement and they want accountability. the vast majority of cops are really great but of those bad cops that exist, the single most important thing that has happened to hold bad cops accountable in the last decade is this thing. the reality of much more pervasive cameras has been the best thing to improve accountability and expose bad cops, that's good news, but it's a reactive tool. the point of this exercise is to figure out how we can get proactive. this thing has held more bad cops accountable but not because government has been getting

better, but because there's more pervasive technology. we need to use the opportunity of all that we have seen that wrong to improve upon it by going from reactive to proactive. the third thing is this bill next week ought to get a hundred votes to begin the debate. i think it ought to get a hundred both student and its debate as well but if you believe this is time to make a law, not just a point but if it's time to improve an issue as opposed to holding onto it as a political issue than i think all people of goodwill and good faith will see that the justice act, the legislation that tim has authored and all of us have been contributing to, the justice act as a starting point of a whole bunch of consensus issues. and once you are on a bill we can debate how to make it even better. there are a bunch of things that a lot of us think need to be done to hold local police unions more accountable and make them on the side of trying to improve local law enforcement, not spend a big chunk of their time as many unions have done

historically. many police unions have done protecting bad apples and sort of moving around folks and hiding the records of folks who got into trouble. there are a lot more debates we could have that are more controversial and they are important debates to be had about qualified immunity. let's have those debates as debates and have votes on some of that stuff. we have to be voting 100-0 to get on this bill next week and try to make it better. thank you for all of your interest in this and think think you've senator scott for your leadership. >> we also have with us congressman pete stauber who is going to lead the efforts in the house. let me just say a few words about pete. pete and i have had a few conversations about the importance of police reform, the importance of accountability and the importance of transparency. pete comes to us with a unique skill set, and 25 years of service as a police officer, i believe he became the commander before you left.

pete also unfortunately had at the gruesome experience of being shot in the head in 1993. >> 1995. >> 1995 as an officer. so he understands this issue from multiple perspectives, from a real world on the streets perspective which, i think, adds tremendous value in the conversation. it's been said, it's not a binary choice. we have a law enforcement officer who's been working on this issue and i'm thankful you are on the team and hoping to lead us to victory. thank you. >> thanks for those kind words. my name is congressman pete stauber and i proudly served us on law enforcement officer in my hometown of duluth, minnesota. as someone who swore an oath to protect and serve my community, i was devastating watching the video of george floyd just dying at the hands of a minneapolis

police officer who swore that same oath. what i saw that video goes against everything i stood for as a police officer. george floyd's life mattered and the best way to honor his memory is by enacting meaningful and lasting change within policing. over the past few weeks my colleagues and i have had health discussions about the most effective ways to enact this much-needed change. as one of just a few members of congress who has worn at the local uniform, i am proud and eager to take part in these discussions. i believe that lasting change begins by implementing community policing standards at police department across the nation. when community policing practices are properly implemented, you end up policing with your community rather than policing your community. it is a method that builds trust.

in order to make real progress on public safety we will need to restore trust between law enforcement and the community they serve. this legislation will do just that. i believe with every fiber of my being that law enforcement is necessary. and that the overwhelming majority of men and women who serve in law enforcement are good and moral people. the police officers who i have had the privilege of working with over the years, i had to work every day and make great personal sacrifice is to keep their community safe from harm. rather than defunding the police which will only make our communities less safe, we must work to increase transparency and accountability within policing while helping our heroic police officers safely perform their jobs. the communities around this country are not wrong in their calls for justice. however, there is a way forward that brings out law enforcement officers and their surrounding

communities together for the betterment of our society. yesterday, president trump took decisive action to foster closer ties between law enforcement and the communities they serve. i applaud the president for working to restore trust and to unite our nation. the president has taken action and it is now our turn to act. i am incredibly grateful to be working with senator tim scott and so many great leaders of congress on these much-needed reforms. our nation is calling for change and i am confident that we will rise to the occasion. thank you very much. >> i'd be happy to take a few questions. >> i was going to ask two things. what have your discussions been with senator booker and senator perrin and if you don't get this through the senate by july 4th do you love them, lose the momentum?

>> i don't think the nation will allow us to lose momentum which is the good news. i've had multiple conversations with senator booker and no conversations with senator harris and i look forward to finding a middle ground where the motion to proceed will be as articulated here already, 100 votes to move forward so we can have a robust debate about how to make the legislation better and to serve the american people. so i hope he is willing to cooperate on getting us there but, certainly without any democratic support this is only a symbolic moment and not a moment for us to make it law. >> are you open to any mandates at all whether it's mandated in the use of body cameras and banning no knock warrants and drug cases? or banning choke holds? are you open to any of those national mandates that the democrats are proposing? >> certainly we achieve some of the same ends by our approach,

if you think about the inability to have any grants if the department has choke holds, that frankly is by default of the ban on choke holds. the conversation will move forward and the only way we get to a place where we have a law is to work with our friends on the other side. we are willing to have a conversation. there are things that i believe the conference will not support but i think we will all support having meaningful dialogue but whatever comes out of that dialogue will have to be in the best interest of the nation. >> one of the things the democrats are talking about is qualified immunity. we talked to a number of police officers who say it, you are not going to get qualified people. why should i put myself on the line if i'm having something taken away from me in the civil suit. is this off the table qualified immunity? >> different members of the conference have different opinions on qualified immunity and my position has been that when democrats start talking

about qualified immunity and the ability to aggressively pursue the officers at a higher threshold, that's a poison pill from my perspective. is that a conversation that could be had around something different? perhaps. lindsay alluded to the fact that there's been a conversation happening on the judiciary committee that may bring more light to the issue but i have not had that conversation so far. >> you expect to have the endorsement of president trump for this legislation and also when you met with the victims families yesterday at the white house did you talk to them about this bill and if you did, what was their reaction to your approach? >> well i hope the president will join forces and a jump on board. i've had several conversations over several days with the president and his team. he crafted the executive order and we were at least part of the process of understanding the direction of the executive order. i tried to take the information i had and hardwire the bill from mental health act's aspects of

it. and then sitting down with the family members yesterday twice, we went through the bill and what it does and what it doesn't do, frankly i think you heard in some of the media reports, they believe the bill is helpful. does it take it to the level that every family member wants it to? i think the answer is probably not but does it get us much closer? according to the words i heard from family members of both meetings, the answer is yes. >> he said at the top this is not a binary issue between the police, but in the reference we hear from the president, do you think that he can give -- he's going to have to give -- he's going to have to give a little bit. do you think that he is willing to do that?

>> i will say this. the president was the most presidential i've seen him talking to the families yesterday. it was not about anything other than finding justice for the victims and their families. if you want to see the president's willingness to bend us so to speak, it's not so much about bending, it's all about finding justice in the path forward. his instructions to the ag yesterday during that meeting with the families it was, get it done. don't tell me you are going to do it, start getting closer and involved in the cases at that are as of yet the outcome is still undetermined. the president is willing to meet us on this issue and it's clear his executive order statements about justice for the families and about having this conversation frankly, is is executive order went a lot further. when you have angels talking about, this is a real executive

order, van jones and the president on the same page, that's almost walking on water in america. there is a lot for us to actually celebrate about every lever of government, wants change. most of us, about same change. >> your bill or the democratic bill? >> i can't speak to what the democrats are doing but i would say what we have done is a bipartisan piece of legislation taking the priorities and the house bill, the words of the vice president in the executive order and the fantastic minds behind me crafted into legislation. but the legislation is bipartisan. the question is can we get bipartisan support. >> are there active ongoing investigations going on with

changes? >> let me say it this way. if we don't have the votes on a motion to proceed, that means that politics is more important than restoring confidence in communities of color than the institutions of authority. >> on that point, it would seem bipartisan groups of lawmakers get together on big issues whether it be immigration or gun violence or deficit reduction only to have it fall apart. why is this different? >> we gone through a lot in this country. we started with impeachment and went through a global pandemic. i remember sitting and talking to ben sasse about some of the challenges that we were facing and lamenting on me and employment issues. i thought to myself, there's no way that we are going to come together into something meaningful.

while 96-0 votes later, this congress, the senate, acted not in a bipartisan session but good old fashion americans making something happen for their neighbors, for their friends and people they've never met. i believe if we take that same consciousness into the process and we don't make it about bipartisan or partisan politics, we make it about families with lost loved ones, about restoring trust and respecting officers. if we can put that on the table and not your shirt versus skins game, this is the last question. >> all throughout yesterday and throughout the debate after george floyd's stuff, we heard a number of viewpoints. democrats in a number of activists are talking about systemic racism and policing. i don't hear any of you saying that. how does that -- i could be wrong, i just didn't hear that yesterday other than german graham talked a bit about that

potential. but i wonder, how does that -- how does that difference really affect the outcome of this bill? how does that affect your chances to get to a solution if you don't agree on the problem. >> i would say if you look at the legislation, a look at the house legislation and you would have to come to the conclusion from a training perspective the importance of de-escalation, the duty to intervene and choke holds as a place we have common ground. if you look at the importance of data collection, the senate wants more information on serious bodily injury and the use of force that leads to death. the house bill once all information on this of force. on the issue of data collection we are on the same page. on training, on grants and using the resources of the federal government to compel and encourage behavior and at local departments, we are in the same

page. we are on misconduct of officers. we want a department by department database locally. president and his executive order speaks about a national database. and that's everything from a racism racist perspective and we don't spend time on the definition of a word and we still spent time on the definition of a problem and definition of a solution, and if and that's the nation that is not racist. i will tell you again, we are not a racist country. we deal with racism because there is racism in the country and both are mutually true. i don't worry about the definition people want to use,

but it's bad for policy. >> sandra: senate republicans for about 40 minutes now unveiling their 100 plus page police reform bill from capitol hill led by

be next week. will wei be able to get democrats about with us on the bill on the floor of the senate? if we can't do that that demonstrates a lack of sincerity on their sides to engage. i'm very proud of tim scott and we have about 70% alignment, we never start with anything in terms of alignment. i'm optimistic that we will put politics aside and get some solutions here that will really make a difference.

we make that as a starting point, and this could be a start. i remember the 60s in my time and remade the start there, but we are continuing this effort to make justice for all our reali reality. >> ed: it was later mcconnell saying he was going to go to tim scott's bill next week? and that's a restriction on the choke hold, the no knock warrant. >> i think he's right, this is where we have to put politics aside. this is an executive order that is supportive and what i see here are a couple of highlights.

the use of lethal force is an outrageous extreme that we need to be very careful about in this training. and then the last i think is that we need this database, bad apples don't flow from one police precinct to another or from one jurisdiction to the other. let's get this on the floor, we can then get a majority vote on some of the details. the fact that we can already put this bill on the floor, i've got bills that we've been trying for five years to put this on the floor of the senate and it shows the importance that

mr. mcconnell is putting on this. >> sandra: as we speak, the house judiciary committee has begun their markup session to crack the police abuse bill in the house. they will vote june 25th, that started at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. to go back to your last point, senator tim scott saying if we can't move quickly on this police bill, i don't think "the nation will allow us to lose the momentum. senator scott went on to say about curbing qualified immuni immunity, where it is that go? >> i think it needs to be debated on the floor. i would argue that inside of the democratic caucus, it's probably a difference of opinion. there are points between where we are now and what the where the house may be from trying to

put forward that may be a reasonable solution. many of the bills appear that we pass in a bipartisan way never make anybody totally happy. and we get to the bottom line and get something meaningful done that can change america. >> ed: it's a very important substance of debate, and what did the obama and blaming president trump. they have a lot more time in the senate where you are before that. >> first of all, they didn't do anything to help the economic

effect. in the u.s. history, more regulation, more taxes, shutdown the energy and backed up from the rest of the world. what we do under these three years and president trump's benefit the communities of color, and maybe since the civil war. what we have done is help to and a half million scenarios pull themselves out of poverty in the last three years prior to covid-19. we created seven at half million jobs and many of those are in this community of color. we've approved communities of economic distress, we put these things that really will make a difference. >> there is some coming in from that traditional black caucus woman, the bill that was introduced by senator scott said "i haven't read the language of the bill that looks like it will take the teeth out of some of

our proposal. there's not a ban on choke hold's but we are going to study choke hold's. we look for continued reaction from all that, we appreciate you coming on this morning. >> thank you. the fox news justice department taking john bolton to court to block the release of his brand-new book that's coming out next week and they are now suing bolton for breach of contract. kellyanne conway is moments away right here on the "america's newroom." ♪

east precinct of the seattle police department. that is the prize of course for the protesters and that remains inside what is now a shrunken protests zone, concrete blocks have been installed around that zone and we have plywood boards over them. and the fire chief was talking about all of this yesterday. it's a question of public safety and that's the first amendme rights. >> we've had a number of discussions with the number of different protesters working with the city team to really try to change the landscape to do a few things. to try to make it safer for the protesters so they can focus on

exercising their first amendment rights and it not be concerned about a car driving into the space. >> there were also protests, and that's one of the cities many major bridges. they shut down traffic in fact for a couple of hours, and it's a tactic that we've seen before and the tactics that we are likely to see her again. i just want to point out to you, there are i would say several hundred protesters that would remain determined to return here every minute of every day, and and that's unlikely i would

think >> ed: it is topping the executive order, and that senate republicans unveil a plan of their own. democrats lemon both of them right out of the gate, and, she will weigh in on all of this, and much more, next. >> president trump: i want you to know that all americans mourned by your side, and your loved ones will not have died in vain. one nation, we grieve together and we kill together. and save thousands a year. newday's va streamline refi makes it fast and easy because there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. i urge you to call newday usa now.

>> we have about 70% alignment from what we hear the house is working on, we never start with anything that high in terms of alignment, but it will make a difference. senator sasse said this may not be the end-all but it could be a start. >> sandra: that was senator david perdue of georgia earlier this hour, and it comes on the heels of president trump's executive order yesterday. the president addressing ways to de-escalate police confrontati confrontation.

caliente, good morning. thanks so much for being here. lots of breaking news this morning, we heard from senate republicans unveiling terrace 100 plus page bill. where it is a present stand on a compromise as far as what we are seeing from both parties this morning? >> the president took the first step by issuing this executive order yesterday, meeting with families of lost loved ones and then separately going to the rose garden. the president took it very quickly and as far as he can as a executive. we are pleased and heartened sandra that that congress is moving very quickly. 100 page bill tells you how to start seriously and signed into law something that meets this moment, that obviously the radical leftists, they are demanding 2/3 of america is against and even joe biden says he's against. also make sure that these

communities and law enforcement are supposed to be protecting, feel protected. that's why it's important that we bring everyone together. we've made this very clear that in the previous administration you only had one side of the equation. something like 15 of the 18,000 police department's had been involved at all. so with the president going out there and talking about more funding, incentivizing different law enforcement offices and talking about no choke hold unless the officer, himself or herself feels like their life is in jeopardy, i feel like that's at the table in a very major way that the white house is on this very important moment and very important piece of legislation. let's let those who make the law of the congress acted next. >> sandra: how important is the timing of this for the president when you look at whether or not he will support some kind of -- how quickly is him missing to move forward with

something? >> trumps speed as it a breakneck one. the velocity he has worked at is truly breathtaking and unprecedented. this will be no exception. in fact, i believe we need to meet this moment for the nation. people are looking at this in a very different way and we have had a national conversation and conversations here at the white house about how to best meet that moment. there's a great concern that the president has expressed, you have people saying, get rid of the police? that's a complete nonstarter. we want all of our community neighborhoods to be able to rely upon the good cops and law enforcement. they have made good on his promise, and at the same time we have to get rid of the bad cops. we have to get rid of the people who are using excessive force and had that conversation to put

in legislation as appropriate, not just how to use force but when to use the force. everyone saw the 8 minutes and 46 seconds of george floyd slow and senseless deaths. my colleague john smith was telling me moments ago, you have many police forces across the country adopting the policy on choke hold's. but minneapolis was not one of them. if you have this guy that's a murderous cop in minneapolis, he's been protected by his union and i think it bears repeating again he had over 17 or 18 complaints against him and is protected by the union. he should have been gone perhaps a long time ago. >> sandra: i want to get this in here because obviously -- >> the good cops on the bad cops can't more than anybody. chuck schumer as you can imagine is pushing back hard on what he heard from the president. >> when the president has finally acknowledged the need for policing reform, one modest

inadequate executive order will not make up for his decades of inflammatory rhetoric. >> sandra: that means policy has one out. we are obviously watching with a continued pandemic in this country. they published in "the wall street journal," i will read a portion of it. this isn't a coronavirus second wave. with testing, treatment and vaccine trials ramping up, we are far better off than the media report. he's painting a very rosy picture of what we are seeing and saying basically that the american public is being misled is that perhaps too rosy a

picture and i've been into these meetings routinely and he has done a great job with both the medical and financial crisis. president put him in that role because the president knew how important that role would be. i don't think it's a rosy picture, that nonmedical professional critics are telling us, we are in the second wave. we are still in the first wave and i want people to know that and that's why the cdc guidelines are important about social distancing, mask, hand sanitizer and the rest. at the same time we need to reopen our country and the vice president is making clear, dr. fauci said yesterday we are still in the first wave. at the same time, we've made incredible progress and you don't hear about the progress report. we don't want people to be so afraid that they don't leave their home, so afraid that they

don't reopen their small businesses. so afraid of the hypocrisy that exists, it's okay if you are protesting about something in your shoulder to shoulder with no mask, but it's not okay if you happen to go to a trump rally where you happen to be dining at a small business in your community. we shouldn't be covid shaming people, as the president has said it, but we've been vigilant on this. and he's made very clear. working with the other g7 leaders, engaging does the private sector to ramp up and repurpose their manufacturing plans. we are playing for all uninsured at covid expenses and testing,

and sandra, i really just have to say something. he said donald trump has said things for decades. let me quote joe biden. he said i don't care why someone is a mouse factor in society, i don't care why they become a social path. we have the option to cordon them off from the rest of society to try to help them and change their behavior but they are in jail. everyone should go back and look at joe biden on the senate floor, united states senator, 1993, calling these people "super predators on the streets. his view of people in 1993, this wasn't a teenager at woodstock. this is joe biden, a full-grown man in the united states senate calling people predators on the street that must be in jail. he has no credibility and no honesty on this topic. >> sandra: there are people

booked on both sides of the aisle holding them accountable. >> he did something yesterday that vice president biden never did. there's an article in my hand up and it says put president obama put police reform and to work in progress. you had 15 of the 18,000 police forces onboard or engaged at that time. i think what we showed yesterday and what congress is showing now sandra as you get everyone involved. >> he said he believed it was the most presidential, final thoughts on simon & schuster is responding to this lawsuit, trying to stop john bolton's memoir from being published. why doesn't the white house want this to be published? >> two words, national security. i and sat next to attorney general bill barr as he answered that question. here's what the attorney general

said. there's a review process. the attorney general said also, it's pretty unusual to have a memoir like this while the people you are talking about, and the name of the book is "the room where it happened. they make clear that he is in the oval office, in the situation room, and had a lot of access to the president and to foreign leaders. so for me it's not about "protecting the president" as the critics and naysayers do for the gargoyles on twitter all the time, it's really about protecting the nation. and that's how i understand these review processes are. i will leave it to the department of justice to ensure that review process has been fully met but i think it's not a big reach to ask people who have been in situations to access to classified information as someone like me does to make

sure that the process is completed. >> sandra: i want to get this in there, the publisher of that book says that bolton worked in full cooperation with the nse and its prepublication review to address the concerns. and he supports a first amendment right. i have to leave it there. kellyanne conway. >> a lot of these books are fact-checked, i have to say, i saw a book that i saw recently that talks about a meeting i had in 2015 in abc news, and it has a wrong person in the room with us. it's that lazy, a remarkable book. if we are not fact-checking the small things, we are not checking the big things. >> sandra: we are losing our words to the leaf blower or whatever it is coming behind you. kellyanne conway, come back soon. >> ed: some top lawmakers in

washington demanding accountability for big tech. this comes as google is under fire under its interaction with several conservative websites and concerns that google could pull a vital financial lifeline. a closer look, just ahead.

>> ed: at the dea is looking up burglaries and break-ins at hundreds of pharmacies across america while law enforcement was occupied with protests gripping the nation. william la jeunesse's life with details. >> prescription drugs are the gold standard for criminal gangs. huge demand, a high price, more profit than tv and sneakers. during the two weeks of demonstrations, literacies hit 177 on the premises in l.a., 180 in philadelphia, 130 and walgreens. the pain killers like percocet and by vicodin, $5 per pill. $10 for a single oxycontin. >> some of the criminals were more intentional about trying to

steal, so they were looking at the bottles and reading labels and trying to go specifically for certain sections of the alphabet. and they considering after the freddie gray protests in 2015, and that he stole 158,000 pills from 28 pharmacies. the dea says we are looking at about 628 pharmacies or more and they are still again telling the losses over two weeks of unrest. but that's more than they see normally at about six months. >> ed: a remarkable story. thank you. >> sandra: despite billions of federal dollars made available

to small businesses, to help them stay afloat, many did not receive money. former new jersey governor chris christie has started a nonprofit to help mom and pop shops. she will join us live next with details. pocket costs. one call can save you $2000 every year. call my team at newday usa right now.

>> ed: americans together, chris christie's wife mary pat has started a nonprofit loan program to start new businesses, but did not get money from the paycheck protection program. the new jersey 30 dave fund provides $3,000 forgivable loans and any loan repayments would go to fund brand-new loans for other businesses. the christie family sitting the

fund with $100,000 of their own money. mary pat christie joining us now. we've heard enough from that governor guy, let's talk to the real boss of the christie family. give me an example of a small business in new jersey that you are helping? >> it's great. we only started this fund last friday and we've already given grant out to 20 businesses. one of our first is to mr. todd tie in new jersey and he's a great character. he was over the moon when we gave him the $3,000 and it really gratifying. >> ed: i know you started a fund, and i know it's difficult, that was a crisis. talk about the economic devastation that you've seen now in your community? >> after hurricane sandy we did

reap raise $43 million to help the community and that was great. but if you remember the new jersey was the only state affected. we had so much federal health and people all over the country, people from all over the world helped after hurricane sandy. everyone is hurting now so it's much more localized after the cobit pandemic problem. >> talk about people coming together now. there's been division in the country and we know that we are in the middle of a federal election, i don't know -- talk about people coming together right now? >> this is absolutely nonpartisan and i'm tapping into my wealth of contacts i've established over my 30 plus years from here. it's really gratifying because people don't know how to help. we've all made our checks and our donations to hospitals and food banks which were super worthy causes but how do you get to what we consider the

lifeblood of our communities, and these are really small businesses. they employ a 3-30 employees and they really make a difference, so that's why we are thrilled that we can help them. >> ed: you got the pie shop, what's another good example? >> there's a woman who rehabs section 8 housing. she does amazing things and i just talked to nella who has a cafe in nutley, new jersey. i also just to gave $3,000 to the rockaway little gym. these people when i talk to them can't believe there's somebody out there have helping them because they weren't may be sophisticated or fast enough to get the pay cut, the paycheck protection program. as been met with tears of joy and tears of, i don't know how i'm going to reopen but this money is going to help me. so that has also been very

gratifying. >> ed: so many businesses have been hard hit, i told you she is the brains of the operation and there she is. give our best to the governor. mayor pat christie. >> thanks so much ada. i appreciate it. >> sandra: and senator tim scott wrote rolling out the g.o.p. bill just a short time ago but the democrats slamming it before it was even unveiled. so is a deal still possible? martha maccallum will join us live at the top of a brand-new hour. come on back.

>> ed: a fox news alert, on a new vision on police reform taking shape on capitol hill one day after the president signed that executive order on this big issue. welcome back to "america's newroom." i'm ed henry. >> sandra: good morning everyone, i'm sandra smith. from white house to congress, the president and congress answering the call to make changes in policing across the country. senate republicans just unveiling their plan a short time ago which democrats already are saying. >> too often we are having a discussion in this nation about it, are you supporting the law enforcement community or are you supporting community's of color? this is a false binary choice. the answer to the question of which side do you support, it's, i support america. if you support america you

support restoring the confidence that communities of color have in institutions of authority. >> sandra: and senator tim scott taking questions just moments ago. she correspondent john roberts is live with more on what we are learning this morning. >> ed: a good morning to you. this serves as a convenient piece. there has been a lot of discussion and coordination between the white house and senator tim scott of south carolina, who in it revealing the legislation just a short time ago reminded people that he has been the victim of "driving while black" several times. >> we believe that our policy positions are ones that bring communities of color into a position of stronger understanding and confidence in the institutions of authority and it brings our law enforcement community to a place where they have the resources necessary to de-escalate some of the

situations. >> ed: is a broad brush of the justice act proposes to do, enhanced use to the fbi and only 40% of cases of the use of force are reported to the fbi. a restriction on choke hold and a track on no warrants like the one with which emt breanna tyler was shot by police. -- breonna taylor. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell appealing to his democratic colleagues this morning to work together to get that justice act passed. >> we are serious about making a law here. this isn't about crating partisan differences, it's about coming together and getting an outcome. >> ed: if there was also some crossover with what the president mounts yesterday, the president saying they should be banned except in cases of a life or death struggle. the president unveiling that executive order yesterday after

meeting with families of the victims and the family of ahmaud arbery who was killed by two men who confronted him as he ran through a georgia neighborhood. he is with the president said about that meeting. >> ed: your loved ones will not have died in vain. we are one nation. we grieve together and we heal together. i can never imagine your pain, or the depth of your anguish but i can promise to fight for justice for all of our people. >> don't forget we have the july soon so there's a quick calendar to get anything done passed into law before that at recess. there's friction with the democrats who want to roll back this idea of so called qualified immunity which is a nonstarter for republicans. so it's unclear whether any of that can get done, but neither the republican proposal nor what president trump revealed yesterday go far enough in terms of reforming policing.

so it's going to be a tough hill to climb here. space a >> sandra: john roberts live at the white house. >> ed: for more on this now, martha maccallum. good morning. and great to see you as always. you talk to tim scott last night and he mentioned that this news conference this morning right here on "america's newsroom," he's been pulled over for driving while black as he called it. he's frustrated and he wants action. at one point he says, if you got van jones on the left saying the president put out a good executive order yesterday, that's almost like walking on water in america. >> you know i was listening again to what tim scott said this morning and he said it, we need to all support america. and i hope this is a theme that can gain some traction. what we are pushing for here is that the areas of overlap find a compromise in terms of more transparency and more accountability.

trouble officers need to be called out and targeted. we can't have people who have 17 violation still dealing and interacting with americans and citizens on the street and in the line of duty. he saying there is a lot of area of overlap, and if you point out the fact that he talks about his own experiences, and he is still a man who is able to say that he does not believe we live in a racist country. he says, does racism exist? yes. if this is so urgent, it's so compelling and urgent for people across the country, i would think that congress could find something they could agree on, at least in basic terms before they all head out for their next time off before the fourth of july. >> ed: you would think they could but, in the last few

moments, we've already gotten reaction from the democrat side. this is jamie raskin reacting to tim scott's pip plan. >> from what i heard it there is not a lot in that proposal that has real teeth in it. we obviously have to start a negotiation because this is a national crisis we are in. >> ed: it's are to be fair he has opened in negotiation but says of the week and flabby. then i watched jim clybourn on, and he said you have to at least give the president credit for judicial reform and criminal justice reform and helping traditionally black colleges. but he says the president doesn't give him any credit at all. >> that's the sad situation that we find ourselves in. we also heard the same thing from tim scott and he said this is a starting point, let's get

to the table. this procedural boat to go forward i do think there are a lot of questions about how much of this can be impacted on the federal level and whether or not the state level is a more effective place to deal with communities and to understand what needs to be done. jim clybourn was obviously very influential in watching joe biden get the nomination and, we have to wonder if some of that response isn't somewhat political as he supports the person that he wants to see as an ex-president because clearly, there are areas that are shared around here. >> ed: we are in the middle of a presidential election, and we had them there on "america's newsroom." he was lashing out at this whole

defund the police movement, so take a listen. >> we got the city to be the safest large city in america and mayor de blasio is ruining the citizens of the state. after seven days of him telling the city to watch the riots, people were being beaten up, it looked ridiculous. >> ed: it's stabbings and shootings were up in new york city and yet, in the last few days, the nypd and the pressure is now disbanding the org undercover unit they had. >> i spoke with and other police officer about this and he said watch for crime to skyrocket. once criminals are aware that the only people they have to keep an eye out for are the ones in uniform, and they know that there are no longer 600 people who are plainclothes who could be seeing what they are doing, when they are up to it it's a

more dangerous situation. i will also point out quickly that mayor de blasio said this morning he wants to make all of the recordings, all of the interaction recordings and video recordings for police officers retroactively available. now you will start going through those libraries to see if there are other things that need to be called out, going back in time. whether or not that's effective in keeping people safe today, tomorrow, across the summer and beyond remains to be seen. >> ed: and it remains to be seen if we will see a compromise deal or not. thanks for starting our morning with us. >> thank you, ed. good to see you as always. >> sandra: new york city police arrested a man accused of pushing a 92-year-old woman to the ground while she was walking on the street. the whole thing was caught on camera in manhattan on friday. david lee miller is live in new york city with more on that.

>> sandra, this is an attack that shocked usually on checkable new yorkers and it now details of the subject's arrest record have left many feeling outraged of the criminal justice system. security camera video recorded the moment and 92-year-old retired schoolteacher was pushed and fell to the ground hitting her head on a fire hydrant. the teacher was on her way to a local store friday afternoon when the random attack happened. the recording shows the attacker nonchalantly looking back and then walking away. video of the incident led to the arrest and police charged the 31-year-old with assault. nypd says he has approximately 65 fact prior arrests and charges include assault, criminal possession of a controlled substance and abuse. in 2014 he was sentenced to a year in jail for sexual misconduct and was required to register as a sex offender. his most recent arrest was in march for assault and trespassing. he was released and scheduled to

return to court in july. at the 92-year-old victim who he allegedly shoved has lived in manhattan for more than 50 years said the attack left her a freed to leave her apartment. when she watched a video of the attack for the very first time, she was astonished, she says, to see the attacker looking back and walking away. she described him tha this way o the reporter -, "that rat." steve linick google is under fire this morning after removing a conservative group from its ad platform and issuing a warning to another. >> big tech has an agenda, they want to advance it and they are going to lean on all of the folks like us to have any kind of agenda that is critical of them. >> ed: and who prompted the tech company's action in the first place? why that is now causing

controversy. plus the justice department filing suit against national security advisor john bolton to try to block the release of his brand-new book. does a lawsuit have a legal leg to stand on? >> president trump: he knows, and he was advised strongly not to write it, until it was cleared. he couldn't wait. we will see what happens. one call to newday can save you $2000 a year. with newday's va streamline refi there's no income verification, no home appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. it's the quickest and easiest refi they've ever offered. call newday now.

dollars in stock, and they are also dropping the probe into that matter and they did that three weeks ago. >> president trump: i think it's very appropriate that he does a book. it conversations with me, highly classified. i will consider every conversation with me as president highly classified. so that would mean if you wrote a book and if the book gets out, he's broken the law. >> sandra: president trump president trump warning john bolton could be breaking the law if his white house's tell-all book is published next week. the justice department has filed a federal lawsuit to block its release, arguing that it contains classified materials. judge napolitano, judge, good to see you this morning. can the doj and trump white house drop the publication and sale of this book?

>> probably not. they haven't even given it a serious effort. the department of justice has filed a lawsuit, and that's not the way to stop the publication of the book. not against john bolton but against publisher, or against the printer, whoever is physically printing, binding and about to distribute the book. the justice department has filed, and it reveals that the white house national security team cleared the book, told

bolton that it's okay, was satisfied with what was in there and when the new national security advisor robert brian came in and he ordered a new review of bolton's book and the second review interposed challenges to what he printed in there. if that version of events is correct, and we can only assume it is, because that's what doj put in his complaint, he's going to stop the publication of this book on an afterthought. >> sandra: so here is a portion of that lawsuit, judge. "the united states is not looking to censor any legitimate aspect of the defendants manuscript. in order to complete the publication review process and take all steps necessary to ensure that only a manuscript that has been officially authorized through that process and is thus free of classified

information is disseminated publicly. >> we should take away from it that the president is not happy with whatever he expects to be in this book and he has instructed the doj to do what they can to make life miserable for john bolton so they have second thoughts about publishing the book. the president's own national security team. according to this complaint, approved of the book and then a new national security team came in and change their mind. look. the law is, if this is the pentagon papers case, if a publisher obtains state secrets, no matter how the publisher obtained them, the publisher can publish them without criminal or civil liability. that does not absolve whoever gave them to the publisher. so if the doj wants to slough

john bolton for his profits, and there is evidence for that, they can do it. but they cannot stop simon & schuster, his publisher, from printing and distribute in the book. that is pretty clear under the law and i'm sure the doj knows this. >> sandra: so the publisher wrote back on a statement saying that this is only a long running series of efforts in a publication to quash the book. it's deemed unflattering to the president, that was simon & schuster. meanwhile bill barr the attorney general had this to s say. >> i don't know of any book that's been published so quick quickly, while they are still in government, current leaders and current discussions and current policy issues, of which many are inherently classified.

>> sandra: ag barr called it unprecedented. >> you know he's probably right. normally these tell-all books are published after the people about whom they are written and president, trump is no longer in office, but there's no federal regulation on time. as i mentioned earlier, because we put it on the complaint the national security council gave him clearance. i don't blame the president. at the president hired somebody to be his intellectual intimates on national security measures. the person says to him, they will not see the light of day. that's morality. but under the law, once john bolton received that initial clearance companies free to publish the book that was cleared.

>> sandra: very interesting response to it all. we asked kellyanne conway about it a short time ago, asked why not just let the book published in her response was two words, national security. great to see you. >> ed: in the meantime manhattan prosecutors decided not to file any charges against a protester that police say helps to women vandalizing patrick's cathedral. our next guest says not prosecuting certain crimes could end up hurting law-abiding citizens. and the fatal police shooting of a georgia man could come as early as today. i live report coming up, next. >> one of the most important thing that a prosecutor can do is to charge the policeman. ♪

>> sandra: fox news alert from georgia where prosecutors are expected to announce whether they are filing charges in the deadly shooting of rayshard brooks outside of an atlanta wendy's last week. we are now being told to expect that decision at a news conference, 3:00 p.m. eastern time. that will be happening and atlanta a short time from now. one of the two officers involved was fired and the other is on administrative duty. jonathan serrie is live in atlanta with the latest opponents from there. jonathan, good morning. >> ed: hello sandra. this afternoon we expect to hear from family members of rayshard

brooks commenting on the d.a. decision coming down from a news conference at 3:00 this afternoon from the d.a.'s office in this building. you see behind me the d.a. announcing whether indeed he plans to seek charges against the police and the shooting of rayshard brooks. officer garrett rolfe was terminated for firing the fatal shots of friday night's incident and fellow officer devin brosnan remains on death's duty. i went to fire rescue is seeking the public's help, and and she's one of multiple suspects. however investigators say it's still unclear whether they are affiliated with a group or working with individuals. >> as fire chief and native atlanta and, i it personally.

when lives or property is lost in our great city. >> in a suburb of clayton county, a video of a police officer questioning teens that gunpoint, and they led police to some bushes where they had tossed a weapon which turned out to be a bb gun which resembled a semiautomatic pistol. the kids were released to their parents and no charges were filed. sandra, back to you. >> sandra: jonathan serrie. >> ed: the district attorney current men flat, clement hadn't declined to a suspect to get away driver. it happened during the george floyd protests here in new york city and no reaction to the decision in a

"wall street journal" op-ed. a top prosecutor affirms his virtue as he shrugs off a churches vandalism. the writer of that is bill mccartney and he's here. bill, good morning. >> broken windows is, that's what the little things, like graffiti, turnstile jumping on aggressive panhandlers, so they don't become the big stuff lat later. mayor de blasio has made it easier for these low-level offenses and just bit by bit, we have given up those things.

but i was arguing with him about the district attorney, he sort of made it official, before the guy involved in the saint pat's defacing was released, the district attorney's office had released a very politically correct statement about how they were not going to prosecute certain low-level offenses like disorderly conduct and curfew violation. and said they would be looking at other protest related crimes in this light. shortly afterward the man that was picked up as i believe the man being the getaway driver for these graffiti artists was released without charge. the d.a.'s office has pushed back and they say that the investigation is still pending. if you read the rationale, the really alarming thing was the rationale that came out of that, saying basically we have to allow for a certain amount of crimes. i think that becomes the official approach of

new york city. i think it's the unofficial approach in some areas, and a lot of innocent people are going to suffer and suffer most and they really need more policing. >> ed: and it's not just new york city. most people know st. patrick's cathedral, and, that's what we referred to as we show on the screen. that's the politically correct statement. the prosecution of protesters charge these low-level of offenses but the critical bonds between law enforcement and the community we serve. that's a moral imperative for public policies that ensures all new yornew york new yorkers, blk lives matter and police violence

is a crime. where is a moral imperative in making sure that people whether they are white, black, any race or any background, are following along? you are going to be looking at all protest related violence and offenses in this regard. i don't see how this at all accomplishes what they say. it seems like a lot of virtues signaling to me and it seems very, very dangerous. again, mr. vance isn't the only offender here and he's really following five years of what the mayor has been putting in practice. i think these are very dangerous statements. when broken windows came in, it was meant to replace a system where police only reacted to crimes after it happened and,

like why waste your time here? let's concentrate on the better neighborhoods? i think the commitment that mayor giuliani put in with police chief bratton and later police chief kelly, we are going to try to provide those neighborhoods with the same level of police protection that people in more affluent neighborhoods of new york take for granted. i don't see how letting people off in the name of racial justice does it. >> ed: infect you write, and obscenity sprayed on our church may seem relatively small but the implications are large. bill mcginnis, we appreciate your insight. >> sandra: narrative bill de blasio defending a decision to keep some city parks locked up as demonstrations go on in the big apple. why critics are accusing the mayor of a double standard. and, after 130 years, the aunt

orthodox jewish residents of brooklyn cut the locks that one playground. >> we are not going to allow people to take the law into our own hands. they are not allowed to open up a playground is not yet available to the public. >> sandra: deroy murdock is a fox news contributor. always good to see you, thanks for being here this morning. it's almost an eerie site. if you go to these playgrounds, not just in the city or the suburbs, many parks all across the country have been shut down, during the outbreak. in some cases it's locks and chains, but in some city parks the doors were welded shot. but what are we doing to reopen these, and what are we doing so people can go back to the park with her kids?

>> what you can do is arrange some sort of protest, that people on the left approve of. i believe in that same park, we have a huge protest for transgender rights over the weekend and people were packed in there. there was no social distancing, we have thousands and thousands of people standing right next to each other as this were a year before today before covid-19 came and alone. afterwards if you want to join the park or put your kids in the swingset or something like that come to close the park. they welded shut so there's no way of getting in there. so we have two total double standards here and i think the idea is democrats believe in magic. they believe in these magic germs that don't attack people who are sort of left of center protests, which they approved politically. and that's a bad thing. you need to go back in your house. and continue house arrest, which would have had three months here now. >> sandra: sorry, didn't mean

to talk over you. the mayor continues to defend the decision saying this is what is necessary to stop the spread of covid-19 while it's still a problem. gail brewer takes them on in this tweet, saying keeping the playgrounds arbitrarily closed only highlights the economic disparities between parents who can kids who have nowhere to go. the summer is here, and they need a plan. credibly hard on so many families but in this particular instance, you've got the manhattan borough president highlighting the economic disparities and how this is affecting rich and poor famili families. >> this is one of the biggest debates and switches in american history. remember this whole deal, we have to engage in quarantine and stay home in order to flatten the curve. we wouldn't have the hospitals overwhelmed at people with

covid-19 wouldn't have anywhere to go. we are well past that. we have the hospital capacity and lots of ventilators and masks and gowns on all the personal protective equipment we need. the quarantine goes on and on and on as businesses die and new york city restaurants is 68, bar shut down never to reopen, and it continues. did you participate in any of the george floyd protests? a lot of people went to these protests ended up being sick, and if you are at a george floyd protests you should get tested. it turns out there isn't a big incidence of infection and we can conclude that it's probably time for us to open things up and get on with their lives. instead the decision is, don't ask that question and let's be ruled by ignorance rather than misinformation.

>> sandra: a lot of folks with a double standard there. thank you. >> it's still so nice out. >> ed: the pandemic also bidding bringing big changes to the way we travel and the latest one could make you think twice before buying a ticket on a long flight. plus, it did in nbc news investigation prompted google to take action against conservatives? the story that's prompting new accusations of censorship and has everybody talking. >> they think they are entitled to be protected from any opinion they don't like, as opposed to trying to rebut opinions they don't like with stronger toarguments and better evidence. . thanks to your va streamline refi benefit, at newday there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs.

have been unable to leave their homes and authorities have tracked down 30,000 people who recently visited that market. schools scrub closed, and despite the low number of cases, some people say a total lockdown is on the way if the numbers get worse with china desperate to avoid this spreading further. authoritarian regime like china is uniquely placed to bring in these kind of harsh lockdown restrictions. they have been urged on by the suggestion that they were behind a cover up. the key to shutting this down quickly. >> sandra: we'll keep watching. benjamin reporting from london for thus morning. thank you. >> big show. live reaction from the white house. democrats now weighing in on tim scott's big bill. we expect a new conference at 3:00 p.m. in georgia on the rayshard brooks case. we'll have that live. a big day. >> sandra: we'll be watching all
