"fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ brian: right to a fox news alert. here we go. overnight it's not last night's video it's last night. using laser pointers on the apartment building where the mayor lives. hundreds filling the streets outside his home. they are upset that he only cut $115 million out of the police budget. it turns out that wasn't enough for them. many calling for the creation of awms there. gone so well in seattle. ainsley: protesters taking to the streets in seattle. one group stopping traffic and blocking a freeway and then to atlanta where demonstrators surrounded the police headquarters as charges are filed against those two officers

involved in the death of rayshard brooks. steve: attorneys for the men now speaking out as one officer could face the death penalty if convicted. meanwhile, outrage over the charges allegedly causing a number of officers simply to call out sick and not show up for work today. ashley stream myer joining us with the unrest. >> the two officers involved in that deadly shooting of rayshard brooks facing a slew of charges this morning. former officer garrett roofl facing felony murder and could face the death penalty. placed on administrative duty and charged with aggravated assault. brothers than's lawyer said his client will not be a state's witness in the case and called the d.a.'s decision to fight charges a rush to misjudgment. the district attorney claims rayshard brooks was cooperative with stories. but rolfe's lawyer tells fox

news that's just not true what they should be focused on at the moment that mr. brooks knew he was going to jail. >> president trump weighed in during an exclusive fox news interview. listen. >> i thought it was a terrible situation but you can't resist a police officer and, you know, if you have a disagreement, you have to take it up after the fact. it was a very sad, very, very sad thing. it's going to be up to justice. i hope he gets a fair shake because police have not been treated fairly in our country. they have not been treated fairly. >> meanwhile the atlanta police department addressing rumors that multiple officers have walking off the job in response to those charges they tweeted that sin accurate. the department has received more call outs than normal. officer derek rolfe and devin

brothers than have until 6:00 p.m. tonight to turn themselves. they are saying they are not doing. brian: thanks so much, ashley, going back and forth on some breaking news here. i appreciate it. so let's go over what's in the justifiable act that was rolled out yesterday, headed up and led by senator tim scott. the justice act has a lot of measures in it but some of them are beefs up requirements for law enforcement to file use of force reports. no knock warrants doesn't eliminate them. dual away chokeholds doesn't demand it in case you wanting to save your own life you can do it. provides funding for deescalation which everyone supports. a lot of people on the democratic side talk about cutting. bipartisan proposal to establish national criminal justice commission act and extend fund gfunding for various law enforcement groups. here's the key. the main difference between what the house is going to give us and what the senate is going to give us is this qualified immunity. that is a poison pill.

the president says i will never sign anything with that in it. most republicans feel exactly the same way. and there is a sign that senator schumer might want to deal with this. and negotiate. and maybe have this come out of committee and have a shot at getting over 60 votes going through the old process and having maybe having a conference committee what the house produces. along the way it didn't take long for democrats to stand up. listen to tim scott and say this about what he saw coming from tim scott. here is senator dick durbin. >> what we say on the democratic side is we cannot waste this historic moment, this singular opportunity. let's not do something that is a token. half hearted approach (cough] excuse me. let's focus on making a change in the future in america. ainsley: that's dick durbin, democrat from illinois, senator, he called it a token approach. tim scott's proposal.

tim scott the only african-american g.o.p. senator from south carolina. he said those remarks calling it token hurts us all. listen to tim scott. >> to think that on this day as we try to make sure that fewer people lose confidence in this nation a senator from illinois refer to this process restore hope and confidence and trust american people from african-americans from communities of color to call this a token. process hurts my soul for my country, for our people. steve: it hurts his soul. remember, tim scott introduced the justice act five years to the day after a white supremacist walked into the emanuel ame church in charleston and murdered black -- nine black

people there in the church. and so that was the day he unveiled it and then he heard tim scott did, what dick durbin said, said it hurt his heart. dick durbin, you know, said essentially he was misunderstood and later apologized to the senator, senator scott on the floor. he was on fox 32 last night at a virtual town hall and had this to say about his comments. >> i said we need to seize this historic moment. we should do you know the something that's tone, half hearted. we have a chance to make significant change. let's do it. he took the word token as an offensive word. i wecht up to him on the floor and i said tim i respect you and like you so much if i offended you, i apologize. steve: it's good that he apologized it was unfortunate use of words. and it just continues to -- when you look at what is going on in the house and the senate, you know, we would like to see some common ground.

right now it intreaking along party lines once again. the democrats want something sweeping. the republicans want something more limited. but, ultimately, and here's the thing. the federal government has a limited role in telling local and state officials how to run their law enforcement agencies and that is why the tim scott approach uses federal money to entice them to stop using chokeholds and to follow the guidelines. so, going forward, it will be interesting to see what happens. i understand later today pete stauber, a republican from minnesota. a former police officer, will introduce the companion bill to the tim scott bill in the house of representatives. brian: that got out of committee 24-14 in the house so they are going to vote on it. i just think there is a i think that senator schumer could sit down and work with tim scott, work with the republicans and try to get the 60 votes. i think the country could use something to show that congress

can work together and there seems to be enough common ground here to do it. i have my fingers crossed. meanwhile, he broke the law. that is a quote from president trump sounding off on his former national security advisor john bolton in a fox news exclusive interview. it comes as the doj tries blocking the release of bolton's new book. he talked about that with sean last night. ainsley: griff jenkins is live in washington with leaked excerpts from the book. good morning, griff. >> they are juicy ainsley, brian and steve. john bolton might want to get a dog because is he not making new friends in washington with this book. accusations who was blasting his former national security advisor. >> he was a washed up guy. i gave him a chance. he couldn't get senate confirmed so i gave him a non-senate confirmed position. he broke the law. very simple. as much as it is going to be broke, it's highly classified information and he did not have approval. >> he tweeted wacko john

bolton's exceedingly tedious "new york times" book is made up of lies and fake stories. said all good about me, in print, until the day i fired him. a disgruntled, boring fool who only wanted to go to war. never had a clue, was ostracized and happily dumped. soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome. on the hill the president wants trade rep robert lighthizer pushed back. >> absolutely untrue. never happened. i was there. i have no recollection of that ever happening. i don't believe it's true. i don't believe it ever happened. >> also in the book the president said the president was willing to engage in investigations of chinese and turkish businesses to quote to give personal favors to dictators he liked. adding the pattern looked like obstruction of a justifiable as a way of life. the author is speaking out himself. >> how would you describe trump's relationship with vladimir putin? >> i think putin thinks he can

play him like a fiddle. i think putin is smart, tough, i think he sees that he is not faced with a serious adversary here. >> book battle is on. the doj is fighting to block its release next tuesday, claiming it contains classified information. asking the court for a hearing by tomorrow looking for injunction. the publisher, simon and shuster says this is frivolous and politically motivated. we will see where it goes. brian, ainsley, steve. steve: griff, thank you very much for the live report from our nation's capitol. the book comes out on tuesday. a lot of bookstores already have it. they printed up hundreds of thousands of copies of it. and they're sitting in back rooms of book stores all over america right now. what's interesting and the way griff just detailed it because late yesterday the federal government filed an emergency request issuing that temporary restraining order and the injunction and they are going to try to have a hearing tomorrow. but, here's the thing. and this is what it all comes down to.

in the filing, they have got quotes from multiple senior intel officials who say that the current manuscript. the book that is sitting in all those back rooms at book stores all across america contains classified information. the nsa director said disclosure of some of the information in the manuscript books printed and scattered across america the release of some of that information in the machine you script could rut in the permanent loss of a valuable intel source and cause irreparable damage to the intel system. if the book goes on sale on tuesday and it most probably will, mr. bolton is going to be in a pickle because essentially federal government is asking for all of his money to go into a trust and if the government finds -- acts against him, he will lose all that money. brian: i feel like it's an

impossible situation. john bolton has been on my radio show once a week for five years. he is a conservative's conservative. is he more of a traditionalist. more critical of president bush and some his policies too in the past and the fact that president bush had to put him on a recess appointment only got him a year and a half. no one went to bat for him again. he just left the administration. he did want to point out that president trump went up to him and said john basically admit that iraq was a mistake. john bolton never admitted that john bolton did tell me personally he was never prouder than the president when he walked away from kim jong un in that second meeting in vietnam i think that's important. in the end, i just don't -- he also evidently reportedly according to ben dom niche who read the book and you interviewed yesterday, steve on a different topic. he said he is very bitchy in the book and acting generals general mattis specifically. what sells is the friction with the president. also john bolton is also somebody who goes for the

jugular. when he got fired or when he quit, whatever side you want to believe, he is bitter and he is angry. and he doesn't care. he wants to get his side of the story out. and he felt as though he was suppressed for a year and a half. and his twitter account was suspended. this hurts the country. if you have a national security advisor who tells the inner secrets of what goes on behind closed doors with other nations it hurts the country. and if you are a republican and you are doing this, you are basically saying i'm going to do what can i to get joe biden elected. that goes against everything that john bolton has done his entire career, ainsley. ainsley: i mean, brian, this happens all the time. people leave the administration, they write books. everyone knows there was friction in that relationship. they didn't agree on all the policies. he writes the book. he said i didn't agree with this, this, this and this. does that change the way you vote? it might. if you want to read it. republicans are still going to stick with him. the left is still going to stick with biden. those in the middle maybe they will read it and maybe they will change their tune.

so claims though that he gives favors to dictators that he likes. and some other claims are that he asked china's president to help him in the election this year. is that going to change the way you vote? let us know foxnews.com. the book is supposed to come out next week there is a lot of money involved allegedly. simon shuster paid him $2 million to write this book. it's a few months away from the election. they will don't like each other. so the timing is in question, too. all right. let's hand it over to jillian back in the studio. jillian? jillian: good morning to you. begin your headlines with this story. the half-brother of a black hand who was found dead hanging from a tree is killed in a shootout with deputies. when l.a. deputies tried to stop fuller's half-brother he opened the car door and started firing. [gunfire] >> get out of the car. >> boone was wanted for kidnapping a woman and holding her for days where she said he was demanding information on fuller's death.

the sheriff's department originally classified it as a suicide but has agreed to a more thorough investigation. texas, arizona and florida. covid-19 cases and hospitalizationsment some of them linking the surge to reopened bars. texas reporting more than 3,000 new coronavirus cases yesterday. its biggest single day tally yet. in arizona, 83% of icu beds are now occupied. meanwhile in michigan, governor gretchen whitmer extends her state of emergency order through july. it was supposed to end tomorrow. all hands on deck president trump's rally in oklahoma. 200 national guard soldiers saturday to help with security. people are already lining up. tulsa officials are expecting 100,000 people. only 20,000 fit into the venue. anti-trump protests are also expected. nba legend or tease is a power house in the ring and wants to take that to a new career in law

enforcement. he wants to make sure people know there are good cops out there. >> how can i hope the most integrity of the officers across the united states. they protect and serve us. >> or tease says he plans on meeting with friends of his who are retired law enforcement officers as he weighs his decision. send it back to you guys. brian: you know also feels that way shaq? shaquille o'neal is also a volunteer police officer. or tease out and about and way to spend your retirement. guys, here is what is coming up straight ahead. former atlanta cop charged with murder and could face the death penalty after shooting and killing rayshard brooks. former nypd lieutenant dr. darrin porcher says the charges are premature and joins us next.

while officer devin brosnan faces three counts including aggravated assault. next guest warns these charges are premature. here to explain former new york city police department lieutenant dr. darrin porcher. doctor, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. thanks for having me. steve: why do you mean these charges are premature. >> the georgia bureau of investigations has not fully completed their shooting investigation of the incident so the district attorney is moving forward in the court of public opinion as opposed to southbound judgment. we need to cap the temperature information attributed to the investigation that's would be introduced either moving forward with an indictment or choosing to try this in an administrative proceeding within a police department. steve: okay. well, if you feel the charging is premature. how do you feel about the actual charges themselves, regardless of that. >> i think the district attorney is overcharging in this particular case and we have to take into consideration the district attorney is under

tremendous fire from the public in connection with the misappropriation of funds. so he is just more or less trying to save phase. the community wants blood in connection with these officers. the district attorney, remember, this is an elected official. if he doesn't move forward with the sentiment of the community, he faces the possibility of being removed in the next upcoming election. so he is merely folding to the public sentiment as a result. these charges such as murder, this being a possible death penalty case are preposterous. when you look at the chain of events which happened here in this particular instance it's subjective. steve: doctor, you feel that these men were overcharged. i don't think you are alone in that the reporting out of atlanta now is that apparently and the atlanta pd tweeted out that the department is experiencing a higher than usual number of call-outs so people are calling in sick. and according to "the atlanta

journal constitution" union rep told them there are officers walking off. some are just going out and sitting in their cars because they cannot believe this. one officer said he is not going to leave the precinct unless it is to help another officer in distress. does this surprise you? no this doesn't surprise me. something that clearly took a shot at the morale of the officers in the atlanta police department. you have officers that are not responding or they are not as proactive as they would have been in the past for fear of retribution from the department or the quote unquote not backing from the system. so as a result. public safety system is not intact the way it should be. the citizens of atlanta are suffering. i understand it on both ends. but you have to put in place something that will allow the officers to know that, hey, look, if you do what's right in the department, we will protect you accordingly. we will not bow to public sentiment. we will move forward in

connection with what's right and what's wrong i feel that the officer wasn't afforded due process in this case. the mayor publicly spoke out. and pushed for the officer's termination as opposed to let's let calmer heads prevail. georgia bureau of investigation conduct this investigation. that did not happen. steve: sure. you know, doctor, people all across the country and the world are looking in on these cases over the last couple of weeks. looking now to washington to try to come up with some sort of police reform. as a professional in that business, do you have confidence that they will be able to come to common ground and do something that will change things? >> this is something that we are going to have to look. to say granted the executive branch has introduced a police reform bill. let's see if these reforms can be executed properly on a local level and that's more of a wait and see. steve: it is a wait and z all right, dr. darrin porcher, thank you very much for joining us on this thursday. >> thank you.

miranda devine. good morning, miranda. >> good morning, ainsley. ainsley: good morning. before we get into this let me read what they put on social media the city of beverly hills to preserve the peace and tranquility of residential neighborhoods effective tonight and until further notice no more than 10 people shall gather in assembly in a public right-of-way in a residential area between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. many interpreting this we support your cause not just in our rich neighborhood. what do you say? >> it really is a rich vein of people there from the hollywood celebrities and the wealthy liberals who have their gated, you know, beautiful he's estates and their private security. and they are all very supportive of these protests when they occur in other people's cities. and, yet, they don't want it close to home. but i think that really they ought to now share some of the love that seattle is getting,

that summer of love and what's wrong with having a police-free autonomous zone on, say, row deo drive that would, you know, they could have public urination. they could have drug adult freakouts. maybe some gun toting war lords to keep the peace, they could have their own borders. it could be, you know, a wonderful situation for them to really have some skin in the game. and even go so far as to say inner stead of banning protests that beverly hills ought to create sanctuary cities. they love sanctuary cities. why not sanctuary cities for the wealthy liberals so that they can host rioters and looters and antifa and anarchists. you know, why should seattle have all the fun? ainsley: some of these articles say from june 12th demonstration

by a group called occupy, which staged a protest an unspecified residential area from 10:00 to 1:00 in the morning. the group used bull horns and amplified music. another article on the daily wire, they write that they are using coronavirus as an excuse. that's why the curfew. do you agree? >> oh, of course. they will use any excuse. and any of these wealthy liberals would have to lose iota of sleep although there they have been beginning up, going as hard as they can virtue signaling on whatever platform they can find tone courage and insight these protests all over the country. we have seen much poorer neighborhoods in cities far away be completely trashed, probably destroyed for a generation. and the celebrities there and the wealthy hollywood beverly hills liberals, there are never any consequences for them. it's always part of a game where they can just look good to their friends and go back to living

their comfortable lives. but, i don't really think that's fair. i think that they should, you know, quality they talk about and invite some of the rioters and the looters and the protesters, the peaceful protesters as well to come down to row deo drive and set up an autonomous zone or at least spend days and nights clogging up traffic and being a nuisance to the local police. see how the celebrities like this enthis. because, i honestly don't think that this kind of destructive carry on that's been happening in the country, i don't think it will stop unless the elites realize that they are causing trouble for themselves. at the moment, it doesn't touch them. they are doing whatever they can to stir up trouble, mainly to attack president trump. they think that this is somehow going to give the democrats an advantage to create chaos and

mayhem before november. so that's it. they should put some skin in the game. ainsley: thanks, miranda. good to see you. okay. president trump blasts his former national security advisor john bolton accusing him of breaking the law by releasing his new book nonsd now the doj is trying to stop the release do. they have a case fox news judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano says not exactly. and he's next.

>> he broke the law. very simple. as much as if is going to be lebron. this is highly classified. that's the highest stage. it's highly classified information and he did not have approval that's come out now very loud and very strong. steve: there you have got president trump with hannity sounding off against former national security advisor john bolton breaking the law with his upcoming tell-all as the doj

last night was seeking a temporary restraining order to block the upcoming release of bolton's book on tuesday. brian: here to react is fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. hey, judge, it's in the bookstores. it just hasn't been put on the shelf yet. we have got excerpts in every major newspaper. is it fruitless? >> good morning, brian; steve, and ainsley. i think this is fruitless. it's too little too late. in fact, the documents that the doj filed didn't even name simon and shuster the publisher as the defendant. so, the judge is going to say why did you guys wait until after the brook was printed and delivered and why didn't you name -- who do you want me to restrain? john bolton wrote the book. he doesn't distribute it. he doesn't sell it. the seller distributes it in book stores and amazon sell it. you don't have the right parties in the courtroom makes one

wonder if the doj's heart is in this because, first, it is nearly impossible to cause a court to enter an order that produces prior restraint. that's the neck nickel phrase for stopping something from being published after it's been flinted. the only prior restraint that the court would permit might be the revelation of where troops are going in war time. and, second, the pentagon papers case basically insulates the publisher from liability. that case says even if you get stolen secrets, if they are material to the public interest, can you plush them. i don't blame the president for being angry. is he probably upset because he believed that john, whom we all know because he used to you work with us, that john would not reveal all this stuff. but the doj is too little, too late on this. ainsley: i think their claim is that it contains classified information and that's one of their concerns. let's talk about what happened in atlanta. the police officer who killed rayshard brooks faces 11

charges, felony murder, could lead to the death penalty. your opinion? >> i think it's a catastrophic mistake to charge him with felony murder. look, if there's a jury trial, here's what the judge is going to say to the jurors before they start deliberating. if that police officer reasonably believed that mr. brooks was using or was about to use deadly force on him, the police officer, then the police officer is permitted to use deadly force to protect himself. secondly, the determination of what was in the police officer's mind is not what a reasonable civilian would do, but what a reasonable police officer would do. these charges are grossly inflated, ainsley. do you know what's going to happen? he's going to be found not guilty, and that's going to produce a tremendous uproar amongst the people of atlanta. they should have charged some far more reasonable charge rather than one that exposes him to the death penalty. it's just not going to work.

it either was done because the d.a. is up for re-election this year or to pander to the crowd. there is one legitimate legal reason for overcharging. that's to get him to plead guilty to a lesser charge but i don't know if this d.a. would accept such guilty plea because he is determined to make appear example out of this guy. this is not right ways to use to make an example. steve: yeah. yesterday, the d.a. we took the press conference live methodically laid out the case and why he was charging the officers in it. you know, a lot of video comes down to we saw the struggle and then mr. brooks ran off with the taser and then turned around and shot him. and/or pointed it at him. and the officer apparently saw the flash and felt he was in danger and that's why he used his service revolver. nonetheless, when you -- the question is a taser deadly force? here's the da just on june 2nd

talking about this very issue on unrelated case. >> as many of you all know on the georgia law a taser is considered as a deadly weapon under georgia law. steve: so there he was, judge, on june the 2nd saying that a taser was a deadly weapon under state law. >> listen, if this was a standard issued taser and i have no reason to believe it was anything other than that, it produces 50,000 volts of electricity. that's enough to stop an elephant and enough to kill a human being. but the test is not is the taser a deadly weapon. the test is did the police officer reasonably believe that a deadly weapon was being aimed at him. it could have been an elastic band and paper clip. but if he reasonably believed it was a dead buy weapon, then he was authorized to use deadly force. without that law, the cops can't

do their jobs. brian: unbelievable. judge andrew napolitano thanks so much. this case is not going away. >> welcome, guys. ainsley: thanks, judge. brian: okay. meanwhile, jillian mele, i will thank her after she gives the news but not until she gives the news. jillian: i will thank you for towering it to me right now. let's begin with this. 103 arrests later a career criminal solve the streets. man seen in this video pushing a 92-year-old woman to the ground. is he charged with assault for the unprovoked attack. he is held on $50,000 bail. prosecutors are trying to up that amount so he doesn't walk free. the woman sews she is okay. just scared to go outside again. overnight, a preliminary police budget cut is approved in philadelphia, potentially slashing $33 million. it calls for several reform measures, including implicit bias training this as the fbi arrest as philadelphia woman

showers and thunderstorms for parts of the mid-atlantic. and the ohio river valley. things will improve as we get into the weekend across the northern plains and the upper midwest. that's where we could see some scattered showers and thunderstorms. some of those could reach severe limits today but not a big severe weather outbreak. we are just talking about the potential for pockets of severe storms. and the rest of the country looks pretty good. and finally we are relaxes a little bit about the fire danger over the southwest, so people can enjoy a better day there. central u.s. looks very surgery and by the way summer officially arrives on saturday and it is father's day on sunday. so a couple of reminders to all of you. steve, anxiously, brian, back to you. brian: all right. janis. very good pope benedict. father's day on sunday. meanwhile, if you are looking for a book for dad try sam houston the alamo avengers put out in paper bag. bend hable brand new information and cheaper. you will see the blue little thing on the corner. if you want to good american

story that is another surprising stunning victory. that's what sam houston was able to pull off. i began in 1814. bring it to 1830s and then we end with lincoln tried to get sam houston to do before the civil war, which unfortunately we're talking about a lot now. so, that's sam houston the alamo avengers. meanwhile, coming up next, steve, weave a lot. steve: we do, indeed, brian. a growing number of experts now agree on how most people are able to contract covid-19. so what is it? you are going to want to hear dr. marc siegel. estate going to join us live next.

brian: as businesses and local governments create reopening strategies, health officials are now more confident in how the coronavirus is transmitted. a new report suggests there is finally a growing consensus about how it spreads, close up, person-to-person interactions for long periods of time. here to discuss this new revelation fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel. dr. siegel, so is that saying that we're. >> good morning, brian. brian: what do we now know? >> this is very important news

today on covid-19 for everybody out there. here's what we're learning. welcome open research did a study that revealed that 10% of the people with covid-19 do 80% of the spreading. now, why would that be? brian, as you just said, it's not from casually touching surfaces. it's not from passing somebody outside for two minutes going by someone. it's about prolonged exposure. being in the room with someone. having them coughing or sneezing. now, if they cough or sneeze right near you, you don't need the prolonged exposure. buff the prolonged exposure would be if someone isn't exhibiting as much symptoms. that's the key. being right up next to somebody and being -- staying real close to them if they're talking loud. if they're singing. if they're basically putting out a lot of secretions. that increases your chances dramatically. that's the new reveal and that's extremely important going forward. brian: all right. other big story is the president's rally and bernie

sanders not happy about it. since bernie sanders defying, says that president trump is defying logic and holding this rally in tulsa this weekend. quote: this is what narcissism is with. trump in order to hear cheers fra dooring crowd will deny science and sacrifice lives not just those that go to his rally but those they come in contact with. for the health of the american people, he must be defeated. so is the president risking the health of his supporters this weekend? >> look, brian. there spho surprise that oklahoma is right near your alamo, is it? the way things are going with this political firear firestormr this rally protests all over the country where people have congregated together. oklahoma doesn't have a lot of cases right now. 96 yesterday in tulsa. and, you know, the governor has said with all of the people that want to go to this rally why not have it out of doors. i'm not against that idea. the university of oklahoma has an 80,000 person stadium in

nearby norm only about two hours away. that's one idea. the key here would be for the rally, you have social distancing as much as possible. masks are being handed out. hand sanitizers and for people at high risk, people in high risk groupings with underlying conditions or the elderly, i would say they should stay home and do their rooting over the television. television. that will be the key here. with a small number of cases and we began this about talking about prolonged exposure leading to spread, and that would have to be by somebody that was infected. the risks here would remain quite low. and in minneapolis, by the way, with all of those protests, we did not see an increase in spread of covid-19. brian: don't tell me if you had no problem with the protest, which is every anti-trump person, you better not have a problem with the rally. and, lastly, only have 20 seconds i find it maddening that dr. fauci said i didn't tell the truth. masks would have helped you early on in the spread of this

virus. i didn't want to tell nurses. wife could have used bandannas and t-shirts. he told us flat out that he wasn't telling the truth early. that is maddening. >> well, masked a something to the situation. social distancing being number one. when you are in an area of high amount of virus, masks definitely add. but they don't replace the need for it. and you are right. we need a lot of truth telling here. we always need to be accurate. extremely important for the public. you can wear a mask, but don't -- it doesn't replace the need to stay apart. we need truth all downtown line all our public health officials. brian: always count on you. thanks so much. more "fox and friends." on exceptional vehicles. get zero percent financing and make no payments for up to 90 days on all 2020 lexus models. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

ainsley: right to a fox news alert. hundreds of protesters in portland filling the streets outside of the mayor's department chanting hands up don't shoot the group upset the 15-million-dollar cut to the police budget was not enough. they wanted 50 million. many calling for the creation of the autonomous zone there. steve. steve: meanwhile, ainsley. protesters also taking to the streets of seattle overnight. one group stopping traffic and blocking a freeway as outrage is boiling over in the city of atlanta. [shouting]

brian: demonstrators surrounding police headquarters as charges are filed two officers in the death of rayshard brooks. attorneys for the men now >> brian, good morning. former atlanta police officer garrett rolfe now faces 11 charges, including felony murder which is punishable by the up to the death penalty rolfe is accused of shooting rayshard brooks in the twice and killing him for that murder. in that, quote, murder. rolfe also faces assault with a dead buy weapon and three other assault charges for shootings in the direction of a vehicle with three witnesses sitting inside of the truck at the time in that wendy's drive-thru.

his partner officer devin brosnan faces aggravated assault and two counts of violating oath of offices. evidence faces up to 20 years behind bars. district attorney paul howard says the evidence shows rolfe used excessive force because brooks was running away did not pose an immediate threat of death or serious physical injury to the officers. he noted that there was a 41-minute, quote, cordle and jovial interaction between the officers and brooks prior to the altercation. howard also said rolfe allegedly kicked brooks after he shot him and was heard saying, quote: i got him. rolfe's attorney says the charges are, quote, appalling and this is nothing but political grand standing because the d.a. is in the middle of a run-off elections rolfe's attorney says the kick never happened. he said rolfe's force was warranted given the officers

officer. >> what they should be focused on why it changed from a cordial conversation to a violent assault on two law enforcement officers at the moment that mr. brooks knew he was going to jail. >> meantime police unions tell fox news that a number of atlanta police officers walked off the job last night in protest of the charged atlanta police department tweeting in part that the riewrges of of a mass walkoff were inaccurate. they also said quote the department is experiencing a higher than usual number of call-outs with the incoming shift. president trump last night with sean hannity spoke about the case. >> i thought it was a terrible situation. but you can't resist a police officer. officer. if you have a disagreement, you have to take it up after the fact. it was a sad -- very, i have sad thing. it's going to be up to justice. i hope he gets a fair shake. police have not been treated

fairly in our country. they have not been treated fairly. >> the da alleged that officer brosnan was standing on the shoulders of brooks as he was struggling for his life. brosnan's attorneys said he was con cussed, confused reacting to the seen after the fact and they note that brosnan gave brooks cpr. guys? ainsley: thank you so much. we have seen that video that's been released recently where he is saying stay with me. stay with me. stay alive basically. this is probably going to amount to a jury trial. a jury will have to make a decision. and i'm sure the officer, garrett rolfe, will say he was the young man had taken his new taser gun life in jeopardy and didn't want him to take his gun or something to that effect. lots of charges in this case. and there are different reasons why that might be. maybe the district attorney wants at least these officers to

get some sort of a charge. but we will have to see how this all plays out. darrin porcher, former nypd lieutenant. he says he feels like those officers were not afforded due process. listen to this. >> these charges, such as murder, this being a possible death penalty case, are preposterous. the community wants blood in connection with these officers. however, the district attorney, remember, this is an elected official. if he doesn't move forward with the sentiment of the community he faces the possibility of being removed. i feel that the officer wasn't afforded due process in this case. the mayor publicly spoke out and pushed for the officer's termination as opposed to let's let calmer heads prevail. let's take a look at the facts and let's have the georgia bureau of investigation conduct this investigation. that did not happen. steve: and dr. porcher went on to say that he felt that the officers had been overcharged and they should have waited for the georgia bureau of investigation before the d.a.

did do the charging but he said look, it's a guy who is up for re-election and politics are involved. that's what dr. porcher said. meanwhile, you know, you frame this against the fact that there are protests all across the country and there is this defund the police department movement in some quarters in portland, oregon as we saw at the top of this hour, we saw that the protests there are now in their third week and they have been talking about defunding the police and, in fact, the protesters were in front of the mayor's house yesterday morning to try to get them to reduce the budget. they wanted $50 million worth of cuts. one of the commissioners last night at the meeting said i don't know where that number is coming from. it seems to essentially just be made up. eventually they decided on $15 million worth of cuts. so they are going to disband the units in the schools. and the public transit and investment investigating gun violence. nonetheless, one state up from

oregon is washington where they have got the capitol hill occupy protest, which was known as chaz last week. last night the president referred to that with sean hannity. he doesn't like it one bit. >> the governor of the state of washington is weak and the mayor is weak. and what they are doing is setting a precedent that has never been set before. they just took it over. and the police are somehow told not to be there. i'm sure they do a good job and they were told to do a good job. i assume they are properly trained. we would go in there, if they want us in. and we'll take it back very quickly it. should never be allowed to fester like it is festering right now. it's disgraceful. to our country, it's a disgrace. steve: the president is worried if it happens in seattle, it can happen elsewhere. yesterday i saw some reporting of people who are living inside the chop where they have called the police and they said, look, i need the police. and the police just simply, brian, react with we're not

coming in unless somebody's life is at stake, essentially. so they are -- it's like -- it's a light touch regarding the protesters. the president doesn't like it. brian: right. keep in mind, the person who swatching this should be joe biden. the people on the streets. you might not want to defund the police but the people that you want to voted four, they are demanding it. you saw what happened in san diego when the mayor refused to cut the police, they went to his house, $15 million not enough to cut. they show up at the mayor's house. those people are not going away. in fact they are being mobilized to vote. good luck joe biden trying to round that up and come up with coherent policy for the left. number two is that the schools were the major issue. how many school shootings have we come into cover early and late. parkland is a couple years ago. now trying to pull the cops out of schools? are you kidding me? pulling them out of los angeles.

pull them out of portland. trying to get them out of new york city? best of luck with that because you can't talk out of both sides of your mouth. you can't say i'm concerned that our high schoolers and grammar coolers and remember about sandy hook. they will be susceptible and at the same time cops are the bad guys and bad women. we have got to keep them away. it's a bad signal. you can't have it both ways. that's why this legislation is so important. that's why people have to understand joe biden is not owning up to it. but 50 separate liberal groupings have called on him to defund and to come out stronger against law enforcement because in the 1990s, he was all pro-law enforcement. and a lot of his policies filled up the jails with african-americans. very curious to see how this is going to go. because we know where the president stands and republicans stand. there is a lack of cohesion with democrats that nobody is talking about. ainsley. ainsley: in portland you were mentioning the mayor going to

mayor's home. in portland this crowd almost 200 people outside of the mayor's house his apartment complex while he was inside on the phone, virtual conference call with the city council. and they were deciding how they were going to fund the police or defund the police. they did cut the 13 million. the crowd wanted 50 as you said. so the crowd is downstairs. they are chanting and protesting outside. and the mayor acknowledges them in the middle of that virtual city council meeting and he says i hear you, i see you and i'm with you on this challenging pat ahead. meanwhile he broke the law that's what the president says. sounding off on former national security advisor john bolton in fox news exclusive interview it comes as the doj tries blocking the release of bolton's new book. steve: griff jenkins is live in washington with some excerpts serpts that have already popped out. although the book hasn't officially debuted it comes out on tuesday. we already know what's in it, griff. griff: that's right.

you know, steve, ainsley and brian. good morning. abc is releasing a new clip of bolton talking out in an interview where he isn't holding back in his criticism of his former boss. watch. >> i don't think he is fit for office. i don't think he has the competence to carry out the job. there really isn't any guiding principle that i was able to discern other than what's good for donald trump's re-election. >> the president not taking it in stride. blasting his former national security advisor and accusing him of disclosing classified information. >> he was a washed up guy. i gave him a chance. he couldn't get senate confirmed, so i gave him a non-senate confirmed position. but he broke the law. very simple. i mean, as much as it is going to be broke, it's highly classified information. and he did not have approval. >> new book contains serious allegations. among them suggesting impeachment hearings should have gone beyond ukraine alleging the agricultural deal with china was

all about re-election saying the president was, quote: pleading with xi to ensure he would win. he stressed the importance of farmers and increased purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome on the hill the president's trade rep robert lighthizer pushing back. >> absolutely untrue. never happened i was there i have no recollection of it ever happening. i don't believe it's true. i don't believe it ever happened. >> bolton says the president was willing to intervene in foreign investigations quote to in effect give personal favors to dictators he liked. adding the pattern looked like obstruction of justice as a way of life. now the book battle is on. the doj is trying to block its release scheduled for next tuesday. they claim it contains classified information asking for a court hearing tomorrow seeking an injunction. but the publisher simon shuster says this is frivolous and politically motivated and an injunction would accomplish nothing. we will see where it goes. steve, ainsley, brian. brian: thanks, griff. we appreciate it. here we go again.

senator hernandez says he would like an investigation into some of the allegations. adam schiff had this tweet. bolton were asked to testify before the house trump's abuse they did. they had a lot to lose and showed real courage. when bolton was asked he refused and said he would sue and f. subpoenaed. instead he saved it for a book. >> bolton may be an author but he's no patriot. 80s, 90s and 2,000. john bolton in late 2019 was praising the president and a lot of the his foreign policy. told me personally he has never been proud of the president when he walked away from north korean dictator in that conference in vietnam. this comes out at a time in which the president can ill afford to have somebody else with an anti trump book. i have never seen a national security advisor come out with a book about a sitting president while he is in office. to especially before re-election. so, it is really makes people wonder about what you could actually say in front of whom.

because your national security you have to have the unbelievable confidence that they are going to give you advice they are going to keep their mouth shut. whether you like it or not. i'm sure if we went inside negotiations with kennedy and linden bain johnson. i'm sure there are things out there that would stun biographers and experts and historians it never comes out. you just see the final product. he brought us inside some of those meetings as he remembers them. the problem is people though were also there remember it differently, ainsley. it's going to be john bolton with no allies on the left against the president and his people. ainsley: that's what adam schiff's point is he is saying where were you when we were trying to impeach this president? why didn't you speak? why did you save it for a book? he is making millions of dollars on this book allegedly. he doesn't agree with the president. he left on, you know, bad terms with the president. so, he doesn't want him to win. he said that he doesn't want him to be a leader. the leader of our country.

he feels an obligation, a conviction. and that's his right. he is able to do it. a lot of people on the right though are furious with him. they think he is dishonorable. they don't -- you know, that he is just furious and upset so he is trying to help the president lose this election or prevent him from winning. so, i mean, will you buy the book? will this change your mind? i mean, two guys who disagree, they are allowed to disagree. they don't have the same opinions. and that's okay. but, you as the voter, you get to decide in november. and that's it. steve? steve: well, let's see what happens. the book is supposed to go on sale on tuesday. but the government sounds like, would like to see that plug pulled but chances are it won't all right. happen. a quarter after the top of the hour on this thursday and jillian joins us right now and plenty of news. jillian: yes, there is. good morning. let's start with this story. the half-brother of a black man found hanging dead from a tree is killed in a shootout with deputies. when l.a. deputies tried to stop fuller's half-brother, he opened

brian: los angeles the latest city to consider a plan to replace police officers with the so-called response team the city council isens proposal would have county department officials respond to nonviolent calls like drug abuse and mental health incidents instead of sending in officers. but, is this how our cities should be policed and has anyone asked the other h social worker. here is reina. thanks for joining us. is this going to work. >> first of all, thank you for having me. i have to begin by saying, you know, as the ceo of the largest public safety nonprofit in the fourth largest city in america

we're thrilled to see conversations moving towards the relationship between communities and law enforcement. what we're fearful of is the narrative that law enforcement are part of the problem. and that solutions may lie elsewhere. i'm not saying that's not the case but i'm fearful of the conversation. there is this push in l.a. there is this push across the country infantry to move these nonviolent offenses into the hands of social workers. there could be merit there but we have to think about the unintended consequences of what happens, when situations turn violent. are these social workers going to be equipped to respond to these really significant and often scary situations? i'm just not share sure that they would be. brian: would the president's executive order he had a combination. he said maybe put some social workers in with police officers. now,i will give you an example. look at the atlanta situation. that looked nonviolent for the whole time until the cuffs came out and then it immediately became violent and we know about the tragedy, the death that

followed. i'm astounded that at a time in which we are concerned about parkland and justifiably so and talk about school security, they are talking about pulling these police officers out of schools in new york and many other cities and now los angeles. there is a disconnect. >> you know, what really concerns us again is this push that law enforcement is a huge part of the problem. and i'm not saying that law enforcement reform isn't essential. it absolutely is essential right now. and there is a role for community programming. we run the -- you mentioned schools. we run the largest safe school institute in the city of houston and arguably in the state of texas. we are in those schools. boots on the ground, removing weapons, drugs, towarding gang activity before it can ever arise. but we do it in partnership with law enforcement there is a positive balance. there is a positive alliance that can be filled. and i think, unfortunately what's happening, is as we as a nation become very concerned with the rapid escalation and

the response of law enforcement and ask some very legitimate questions about training. we are rushing to solutions that may not be in the best interest of communities, especially communities in need. if the solution is being created for the sole purpose of punishing first responders, what good is that in the end? we have got to build our communities, we have got to support our law enforcement. we must work together. i think that's where all major cities have to be. brian: thank you so much. i think you are 100 percent right. after the some point we have to ask the social workers how they feel about getting involved at this level unscripted situations no one is talking to them yet. coming know how dangerous it is. i'm not sure they do. thanks so much for joining us. i appreciate it. >> thank you. brian: senator dick durbin slammed by colleague tim scott over comments about republican

police reform efforts. listen. >> opportunity to restore hope and confidence and trust from the american people from african-americans calls this a token process. hurts my soul. brian: wow, overnight, durbin apologizing but is that enough? turning point u.s.a. spokesperson rob schmitt says no way. he's next. effortless is the lincoln way.

and author of the upcoming book always a soldiers rob schmitt. rob, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: dick durbin apologized and said you know, by using that word he said he took the word token as an offensive word. tim scott did, so he apologized. durbin says he was misunderstood. do you think that's true? >> i think that that could possibly be true. but, let me ask you this, the left likes to talk a lot about dog whistles all the time. they talk about republican dog whistles. the word token in response to a black republican, in response to legislation that is created by the lone black republican senator is not only -- it is a bull horn, let me tell you something, and any black conservative, any black republican that has a large online social media platform like myself, any black person that vote outside of the

democratic binary. any black person who has dared to not be a liberal has heard the word token slung at them. we are called tokens, we are called uncle toms and some other things that are not appropriate for television. let me tell you something i was shocked when i heard that word come out of a sitting democrat senator's mouth. it was disgusting. let me tell you something else, senator scott, a man who i have had the pleasure to work with, was much more classy in his response than i would have been. steve: well, immediately afterwards, when durbin apparently heard that tim scott was unhappy, a spokesperson put out a statement that said he apologized in person. but then, mr. der bin was on a fox virtual town hall last night in chicago. and he officially, on camera, apologized. listen to this. >> i said we need to seize this historic moment. we shouldn't do something that's token, half hearted. we have a moment to take

significant change let's do it. he took token as offensive word and i went up to him on the floor i said i like you so much if i offended you i apologize. steve: what do you think? >> you know, i think that it's good that he apologized. i think it brings a broader conversation that democrats on the left of all colors really need to have about how they treat african-american republicans. they like to blame internet trolls that are right leaning they like to blame every bit of the conversation on the right. i would like to flip this back on them. i wouli would like to say to eve biden supporter every kamala harris supporter and pete buttigieg supporter that has called me a token. that has called me an uncle tom on the internet they need to have a hard language. they like to call themselves the party of tolerance and inclusivity. it does not extend to african-americans that do not

tote the democratic party line. i talk about this in my book i have the chapter called the kanye affect why black americans are leaving democrats behind. they are leaving democrats behind for this exact same reason the word token, uncle tom. whatever you want to call it, those are words that are used to keep african-american voters in line. that may be more independent leaning. that may be more conservative leaning. that may be leaning towards supporting the president. i have think that they, on the left, need to have a real conversation about that type of language because when that language is making it into a speech by a sitting democrat senator, there is a major problem that needs to be addressed. steve: aside from him saying token half-hearted approach -- did we just lose bo rob? he is back. >> no i'm here. i gotcha. steve: ultimately what he was talking about the republican plan was not going to go as far as of the democrat plan in the house. how do you feel about that? >> you know, i feel that i

haven't gotten a chance to look at both of the plans side by side. i think that if everybody works together we can come up with something good. it is just like, by the way, the first step act for criminal justice reform which was passed under this administration, i was lobbying on capitol hill for the first step act myself to a couple of -- with a couple of republican senators who weren't on board. people came together and created legislation that passed through. i'm pretty sure given the democrat rhetoric on the police officers and law enforcement right now, the democrat bill is probably something so far left and so outrageous that it could probably never really be passed. so i suggest that our lovely senators and congress people on capitol hill work together to pass something that benefits all americans. steve: rob schmitt iraq war veteran turning point u.s.a. spokesperson. rob, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you. steve: you bet. 24 minutes before the top of the hour.

two days ago. under my bill the federalist would be able to go to court. if you get treated unfairly by big tech, you ought to be able to have your day in court. it's that simple. steve: senator hawley, you know, under section 230, which has been the law of the land for coming up on 25 years, i think essentially what it says to big tech companies you have got immunity. you can't be sued as a publisher because you are not a plush ir. ultimately what we are seeing they are acting like publishers. can you just explain why the congress gave them that immunity and what has changed since then. >> yeah. congress did that back in 196, which san eternity ago. of course, when you are talking about the internet. that was before any of these big dominant platforms like google or twitter or facebook even existed. so the internet has changed a lot since then. the other thing that's changed is courts have really rewritten section 230 in all of those intervening years.

they have in many ways changed the meaning. what my bill does is get back to closer to what the original purpose of 230 was, which is have the tech companies act in good faith. that means treat people fairly. enforce their terms of service fairly. right now, if google deplatforms a conservative website, or if twitter takes away your platform, you can't do anything about it. you don't have any recourse. that's wrong. you should be able to go to court. brian: all right. here is what twitter said. it said no comment directly in the legislation. we enforce twitter rules impartially for all people on our service regardless of political ideology. so, no panic on their side. did you reach out to them before you put this together? >> well, they are certainly aware of the bill. and i look forward to their support. if they really are enforcing their terms of service impartially, then they should support this bill. because all this bill says is the terms of service, these big

tech companies they have to enforce them evenly. of course we know that twitter has been out there censoring the president of the united states while saying nothing about joe biden or nothing about all those chinese communalist party diplomats who have been lying about covid-19. so they're not enforcing anything evenly. if they really are then i think they should welcome this legislation and i look forward to their endorsement. ainsley: senator, they have a lot of money, twitter, facebook, google, are they hiring big lobbyists to come in there and democrats to vote against this. >> absolutely. big tech are some of the most powerful players on capitol hill. they have purchased a lot of influence with the big economists on both sides of the aisle. they fight any kind of reform tooth and nail. as people see more and more how powerful big tech is and how using power to favor one political side over the other

people are going to stopped up and say this is enough. steve: if you are saying big tech has their thumb on the scale in favor of the political left as we advance toward november, won't it be too late? i mean your bill has got to go through congress before it becomes law. >> yeah. i think time is really of the essence. i mean, this is an urgent, urgent matter, steve. this is why i have been pushing changes since i got to congress. got to the senate over a year ago. and i would just call on my colleagues to act now. this bill has broader support when it comes to changing 230 than any other bill has had before. it's time to act now. you could see just two days ago with google trying to silence a conservative website. this is what these tech companies are doing. they are doing it out in the open. it's time to stop that. give people the right to sue. brian: you got it. senator josh hawley the attorney general background on your resume certainly helping you out here put together this legislation. thanks, josh. ainsley: thank you. >> thank you.

standards for the police to be able to effectively do their job without putting the american citizen at risk rather than defunelsd the police increasing assistance in some areas. people have to understand there is more to policing than just two officers in a squad car with handcuffs. there is onus to fund it. go forward to make police more effective. investigative units. fugitive units. aviation units. swath. a lot of different areas of policing more so than just two guys in a squad car. the president is making sure that the police have everything they need to be effective in their community while also guaranteeing and assuring the safety of the communities that they are to protect and serve. he wants them to be members of the community, not oppressors and enemies of the community. having the police work with the community. you know, the word community

literally means common unit. common unity police and citizens to work together to ensure our peace and safety and that they can protect and serve as their job details that they are to. ainsley: hopefully democrats and republicans can come together on something. tell me about the rally on saturday. you are going to head to tulsa, right, to be with the president. >> oh, yeah. the rally is going to be amazing. the president couldn't wait to get back out there. he is deploying all of the team with them. surrogates going to go down. the whole gang is going to round up and head to tulsa. there are so many people that signed up. this shows you how much enthusiasm there is for this administration throughout the country. you have a million people trying to get. in this tells me that, you know, you can't always believe polls. obviously i think nothing short of amazing. the president is like a boxer that can't wait to get back in the ring. this is his time of year. campaign season. it's like throwing a fish in water. i'm looking forward to it. i think it's going to be a great time. ainsley: have you dr. fauci who

steve: it's 8:00 in new york city and a fox news alert starts this hour. hundreds of protesters in portland, oregon filling the streets outside the mayor's apartment yesterday, chanting " hands up, don't shoot." the group upsets the city's $15 million cut to the police budget was not enough. they wanted 50. many calling for the creation of an autonomous zone there in portland as well, brian brian: yeah we don't have enough of them. protesters also taking to the streets of seattle overnight that's going well. one group stopping traffic overnight and blocking a freeway that really gets the public on their side as outrage boils over in atlanta. >> [chanting]

ainsley: demonstrate or s surrounding police headquarters as charges are filed against the two officers involved in the death of rayshard brooks. attorneys for the men, now speaking out, as one officer could face the death penalty and now there are reports that several atlanta police officers are calling out sick. brian iennis joins us live from atlanta with the reaction from the department. brian what do we know about that reporter: ainsley good morning, well atlanta's mayor says the morale for atlanta's police department is down "tenfold." the police union chief vince champion says that morale is " terrible" and he called yesterday the worst in the city 's law enforcement history, given the charges that were filed against those officer s. champion said officers walked off the job last night in at least two of the cities six zones. last night the atlanta police department tweeted this about the callouts. "earlier suggestions that multiple officers from each zone

had walked off the job were in accurate. the department is experiencing a higher-than-usual number of call -outs with the incoming shift. we have enough resources to maintain operations and remain able to respond to incidents." the fulton county district attorney paul howard announced former officer garrett wolf faces 11 charges including felony murder which is punishable by up to the death penalty and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for shooting rayshard brooks twice in the back and killing the father of three. the da yesterday revealed new allegations that wolf kicked brooks as he was laying on the ground and after the shooting, he said, "i got hime the da said evidence shows both wolf and brosnin, his partner were not facing a reasonable threat of death or serious injury and the shooting was therefore unjustified. he noted there was a 41 minute " cordial" interaction before the altercation and the da said brooks was running away at the

time of the shooting and wolf's attorney says the charges are appalling. he said wolf did not kick brooks after he was shot. he says wolf was assaulted, had a taser fired at his head and use of force was reasonable, noting that wolf had been in kanye west patty tated by the taser and brooks could have stolen the officer's gun and may even have shot him. >> mr. brooks was not running away. mr. brooks turned and offered extreme violence towards a uniformed law enforcement officer. if he was able to deploy the taser it would incapicatate officer wolf through his body armor and at that point if he decided to dis arm another officer he be in possession of a firearm. reporter: wolf's partner officer devon brosnon faces three charges of aggravated assault punish upable by up to 20 years in prison and the da said that brosnin stood on brook's shoulders after he was shot and the attorneys deny

this and deny he is cooperating with the state as a witness a claim that the d. a. made yesterday all of this as there are questions regarding the d. a. paul howard who is in the middle of an election and questions about the charges of the officers and the speed in which these charges were announced given the fact that the georgia bureau of investigation was not made aware that the charges were even being announced yesterday, and usually , the gbi gets a chance to complete their investigation before charges are filed or announced, guys? steve: that right, brian on the streets of atlanta brian thank you very much. now let's go to the white house and white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany joins us from looks like the north lawn good morning to you, kayleigh. good morning. steve: we have been talking about these police officers down in atlanta being charged yesterday with different opinions some say the charges were appropriate, some say that the officers were overcharged, some said it was premature. does the president feel the charges were appropriate?

>> well the president had said this was a terrible situation. it was sad but he noted last night that look, you can't resist a police officer. if you have a disagreement with them, he said you take it up with them after and he's reiterated he hopes this officer gets a fair shake in court. it's up to the justice system and the state courts but he wants the police officer to get a fair shake because all too often police officers do not. brian: all right, kayleigh the other big story yesterday was senator tim scott's bill, senate engineered bill on criminal justice reform i should say police reform, or improvement. did the president know about this in detail and work at all with tim scott on this? and does he expect democratic senators to try to go in, get their, roll up their sleeves , and have input on this and get it out of committee >> yes, the president, the administration we did work very closely with senator scott. this is a great bill, it's one that closely tracks the

president's executive order and it's a very strong, it's fair. it's even handed. we who epidemic to see it pass. we hope democrats will come and join us in this endeavor because all too often they play partisan politics and the bill the democrats put out is an absolute none-starter. for instance they rolled back qualified immunity something that's existed for a very long time in this country and the ha rlow court when the supreme court ruled in that case said look if qualified immunity they are a big social cost if you don't have it there. namely police officers pulling back, not patrolling the streets that's an example in something that be devastating for this country. we see what's happening in seattle and we see the law and order issues we've had across the country when there aren't enough law enforcement officers. ainsley: so kayleigh the doj filed that complaint in federal court to prevent john bolton's book from being released next tuesday. he did an interview with another

network. this is a portion that was just released from that network. watch this. >> i don't think he's fit for office. i don't think he has the competence to carry out the job. there really isn't any guiding principle that i was able to discern other than what's good for donald trump's re-election. he was so focused on the re-election that longer term considerations fell by the way side, so if he thought he could get a photo opportunity with kim jong-un at the demilitarized zone in korea there was considerable emphasis on the photo opportunity and the press reaction to it, and little or no focus on what such meeting did for the bargaining position of the united states. ainsley: so this is all over every network the release of this book right before the election. what's your reaction to the timing of this? >> my reaction is that john bolton has discredited himself. he is a misguided hawk on foreign policy and this man is someone who praised president trump as being strong on foreign

policy not making the mistakes of previous administrations, perfectly prepared. these are all quotes from john bolton. he said president trump understands president ronald regan's peace through strength. he's on the record saying this so john bolton's book is de bunked by none other than john bolton. he's discredited on both sides of the aisle and if you thought comey was most disliked man in america i think john bolton has now taken that title. steve: let's see whether or not the book does come out as scheduled on tuesday or if the courts are able to step in. meanwhile let's talk a little bit about the weekend. we're going to restart the rall ies, the president is down in tulsa. kayleigh, you know, there have been a lot of people who have said look, it's too early at this point because it's social distancing to put so many people into a jam packed arena, and dr. fauci yesterday said that he would not attend because he said he was in one of the high risk groups going forward. we understand apparently the national security has been

called in as well to help and some are suggesting that the president is not taking the covid pandemic seriously. he's just more interested in getting back on the road and getting his base energized. >> well the president has taken covid seriously it was after all the president who put in place travel restrictions, acted early when the democrats were calling that move xenophobic but with regard to the rally oklahoma is entering phase iii and this is permitted under those guidelines and it's interesting to watch the media, some in the media, not all but some, really not listen to science, but instead cherry pick science when it's ideologically convenient because we've seen some in the media praise the protesters, make no mention of the fact that they're not socially distanced or wearing masks in some cases but then target the trump rally or target a church when a church wants to reopen appropriately socially distance. steve: sure kayleigh i understand that but this is the first time an indoor stadium has been pretty much packed to the rafters.

you know, you don't see the nba, you don't see any professional sports teams out and about at this point. i mean, this is a step we have not yet seen during this coronavirus pandemic. >> well this is permitted under phase iii. steve: i understand it is but nobody else has done it before. are you worried about that? we are leading on that. there will be hand sanitizer, there will be masks handed out and precautions taken so we believe that this is a safe opportunity to congregate and to really celebrate the great things that president trump does each and every day in his administration. brian: before i get to my question just to finish this off , kayleigh, being that demand is so high, has there been talk about moving this to maybe a stadium outdoors? >> that be a decision for the campaign, so i'm unaware if they are considering moving it outdoors or not but right now it's indoor in that new arena. brian: okay. i've got to ask you about anthony fauci. a couple of days ago he came out and said well, i admit that i

did not downplay the efficiency of face masks early on, because he wanted nurses to have face masks so he basically told us not to wear them, as i paraphrase, so he essentially was being deceptive when the pandemic first hit, instead of saying grab a bandana, not a mask, he said don't worry about it. did the president know he was, did the president know he wasn't being honest about the usefulness of a mask? >> so i haven't spoken to the president directly about that quote from dr. fauci but what i would say is the administration did connell:ly emphasize that n-95 respirators should not be used because we needed to save those for medical personnel so in terms of the president on that quote haven't specifically spoken to him about that. ainsley: all right kayleigh thanks so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you. ainsley: jillian is back. jillian: good morning and we begin with this story that we've been following. the raging fire is now one of

the biggest wildfires in arizona 's history and the states 7th largest wildfire torching more than 100,000-acres northeast of phoenix. immediate evacuations are underway for people near the national forest and only 5% of the fire is contained. more than 500 firefighters are fighting it. >> the supreme court should decided to if the deferred action for childhood arrive arrival can remain in place. the obama-era program is currently shielding more than 600,000 young undocumented immigrants from deportation. president trump sought to end the program in 2017. the supreme court is deciding whether the trump adminitration can rollback the program. >> and how about this a woman is back in the hospital after being diagnosed with covid for a second time. this is in colorado. michelle hart first tested positive for the coronavirus in may after receiving two negative tests in a row, she thought she was fully recovered but when her symptoms didn't go away, she got tested again yesterday, only for

it to come back positive. doctors believe her body didn't develop the antibodies needed to fight off future infections. >> an american flag honoring a world war ii veteran is found on a highway. no one knew it was even lost until a facebook post about it. a man sharing he found the flag on a baltimore highway with a letter on flag presentation inside. luckily his post reached the now -owner's sister and the owner says her mother was a cam pinyon of the veteran and the flag somehow slipped out of the back of her car while she was moving. i'll send it back to you. steve: now it's back home where she belongs, thank you. meanwhile despite a surge in covid-19 cases the state of florida is moving ahead with plans to reopen. how will they be able to protect the most vulnerable, florida congressman is on that, coming up, next. these are extraordinary times, and we want to thank the extraordinary people in the healthcare community, working to care for all of us.

>> we're not shutting down, we're going to go forward, we're going to continue to protect the most vulnerable, we're going to urge, continue to advise particularly the elderly population to maintain social distancing, avoid crowds. brian: florida governor ron desantis vows to keep the state open despite a spike in coronavirus cases so how can the state move forward while still protecting the most vulnerable? republican florida congressman brian mast joins us to weigh in. do you support the governor's decision to not alter tactics and opening schedules, congressman? >> i do support the governor's decision knowing everything he's doing having had personal conversations with them and speak to him about how he's looking at the numbers, managing

things, and really asking people to be aware of the tools that are out there for them but go out there and make wise decisions for themselves, based upon their own personal risk. brian: i mean, let's just take a look before florida was looking at case-by-case, week-by -week situation and they range from 3-7% over two weeks in cases and a spike to 10% for example, on tuesday, as we take a look at this chart now looks like an ekg, but you get what we mean so it shows an up-tick. now a lot of reasoning goes behind that one testing increase in hotspot areas and it's a new focus on nursing homes because of their vulnerability that's how it was explained to me. what about you? well that's 100% true. i've had very personal conversations with the governor. he wants to know, hey is there a hotspot in this area, is there a certain community where houses are closer together where maybe there's more than one family living in the houses in that area where it can create a more

rapid spread in that area, and then they're putting testing sites in those locations, trying to make them convenient for the populations so that they can get to the root, give people accurate numbers so that they can do like i said, have those tools of knowing the numbers knowing the risks knowing how to protect themselves with hand sanitizer, masks and other things but being able to make the decision of where they're going to go, how long they stay, who they go with , how close they get to people and manage that risk for themselves because that's what ultimately has to be done, we have to look internal. we have to say what are our risks, does somebody in my family have cystic fibrosis or something else that could hurt the lungs and do we think that we might come in contact with somebody, do we want to put somebody else at risk and manage that for ourselves? that has to be the way we move forward and that's what governor desantis is doing well. brian: i'm talking to somebody who did risk for a living, dismantling ied's in war zones, so you understand the word risk, and can appreciate it, and this

is nothing. we appreciate your service and you lost your legs doing it, and now you're still getting back to the country. joe biden thought he would give his two cents to president trump on everything he's doing wrong. let's listen closely. >> donald trump wants to style himself as a war time president against this invisible enemy, the coronavirus. unlike any other war, any other war time meter, he takes no responsibility, he exercises no leadership. now he just flat surrendering the fight. mr. president, wake up. brian: that's one thing, it sounds like he needs a little bit but what are your thoughts? >> yeah, first you saw former vice president cast a net over other wartime leaders. wartime leaders don't go out there and do this and do this. he's casting a net that simply

isn't true but he was just a passenger, thankfully, along a good ride for america where we had a president that was paying attention and saying how do i put americans first from the very beginning? how do i protect the citizens of my country, not protect those in china or those in the eu or those in other places, very clearly former vice president is going to be critical of that which tells us he would have done the exact opposite which lets us know that america would have been in much more dire circumstances, maybe reach those numbers that the media were predicting early on, had there been somebody like vice president in charge that wouldn't have done the things like president trump did that he was so criticized for in the very beginning. brian: instead of making me lose my living, my livelihood, give up school if you're a student and quarantine as a healthy person, we did that. now it's time for the alternative while being responsible and i think we should trust the american people to be responsible. we get it. if you have underlying conditions you know it better than i'll ever be able to tell

you. congressman brian mast fighting the fight in florida thanks so much. >> wish you the best. brian: absolutely. meanwhile coming up straight ahead, senator dick durbin apologizes after getting slammed by colleague tim scott over comments about the republican police reform efforts. >> the opportunity to restore hope and confidence and trust from the american people, from african americans to call this a token process hurts my soul. brian: and he poured his heart into this legislation too. david webb says this is a clear case of democrat hipocracy. he's next.

token, half-hearted approach. >> to have a senator from illinois refer to this process, this bill, this opportunity to restore hope and confidence and trust from the american people from african americans calls this a token process hurts my soul. steve: you can tell here with reaction fox news contributor and radio talk show host david w ebb. david when you heard dick durbin yesterday refer to the republican plan as a token half- hearted approach what did you think? it's very clear tim scott was heartbroken. >> well yeah, and look it's clear that he takes it very personally that's what senator scott did there. look i don't know what's in dick durbin's heart but it's the hipocracy that if anyone had used that word "token" which is a legitimate word in the english language in any way pointed towards blacks from the right, they would have gone crazy.

they would have been protesting. they would have been claiming the egregious nature of its use, and dick durbin, whose an old demagogue, an old politician whose been there for ever, knows how to use this because it also plays into how they're playing their appeal to blacks that support them in america, by attacking any black person or persons on the right that don't agree with the left agenda. you're called a token, you're called an uncle tom, a house neg ro, and other names and he casually used it so whether dick durbin meant it directly to scott or not the fact is it shouldn't be used in that context and he did. steve: are you saying backing up to what you said a moment earlier, are you saying dick durbin used that word on purpose >> rarely do we ever see politicians not using words on purpose and they're very good at it. you look at the tokenism of the

democrats in the house, not ignoring the actual history of what that fabric and those colors represent, so they play the tokenism game constantly, so again, i don't know. i won't say i know exactly what's in his heart, his head, or his mind but i've seen too many instances of using the word , for in fact any word that they feel they are entitled to use against republicans. steve: apparently after senator durbin heard that tim scott was offended, he apologized to him, and then later, last night on a fox 32 virtual town hall in chicago, he apologized on camera and here it is. >> i said we need to seize this historic moment, we shouldn't do something that's token and we have a chance to make significant change let's do it. he took the word token as an offensive word. i went up to him on the floor and i said tim i respect you and like you so much and if i offended you i apologize.

steve: david? >> it's up to tim scott to respond at that point and again i said i will not judge why or how durbin used it puig i will look at the history of democrats and their tokenism that they play to blacks and their liberal base. it is constant. nancy pelosi led that kneeling incident on the floor, and she was called out by someone from africa who actually responded it from a cultural perspective. they want us to stay in these arguments steve. here is what i'd like to do. i want to go back to solutions and i hope senator scott and the senate republicans are doing this. let's reduce criminality and the attraction to crime and have economic empowerment and let's buildup nurserved communities so there are other options rather than what leads to that eventual and sometimes fate full or fatal interaction with the police. we've got to reduce the foundation problems here or we're going to have a constant argument and the club of 100 will sit in washington and write

legislation but we in the community, the american community have to solve these problems and stop relying on the politicians and legislation. the police, the community, the police unions, the various other aspects of leadership. we've got to come together because when we reduce the need for those interactions, those 375 million interactions that happen on an annual basis between police and civilians, you will reduce statistically the number of interactions that go bad. steve: all right david webb joining us from miami david thank you. >> thank you, steve. steve: meanwhile straight ahead ted cruz another senator is bringing the fight to google after google is accused of censoring conservative voices. the senator says this is just part of a bigger problem putting free speech at risk. he joins us live, next. we live in uncertain times. however, there is one thing you can be certain of. the men and women of the united states postal service.

steve: here is something new the department of justice now pushing to limit legal protections for social media giants like twitter and facebook and google, so hold them more accountable for how they police their content. brian: well this as google is accused of targeting conservative sites and threatening to cut their ad revenue, our next guest calls political ainsley. ainsley: yeah that's right texas gop senator ted cruz chairs a senate subcommittee with oversight of constitutional rights and he joins us now with more good morning to you. >> good morning, always good to be with you. ainsley: always nice to have you senator so i know you sent a letter to the head of google. why did you do that and what did it say? >> well this week, google made a dramatic decision and they decided to target a conservative

media outlet called the federalist and they threaten ed to demonetize them which is truly a word that means basically try to bankrupt them, and they were very opaque as to why they were doing so but eventually what they said is there was some comments on their website, not the articles the journalists had written but comments third parties put there that they deemed offensive. that's why they were going to demonetize the ceo of google a letter asking for the internal communications, the communications with nbc whose the one who asked google to do this and in particular pointing out that the standard they are claiming to apply, they don't apply fairly and across-the-board. i listed about a dozen left wing websites all of which have comment sections and none of which apparently are being pleased or having that standard applied, and in particular, youtube, which google holy owns it's a wholly-owned subsidiary, you go there at any given day you can see lots of comments that are offensive, that are

profane, racist, and so i inquired is google going to give the same three day notice to youtube or demonetize its subsidiary? i think their conduct violates the anti-trust laws because google is a monopoly leveraging their monopoly power to fair or youtube at the expense of their competitors. steve: no doubt, senator, they are a monopoly. a majority of americans use that as a search engine but at the same time, congress gave them that section 230 that gives them special immunity where they say look, you're not a publisher but now they're acting like a publisher and so you can't have it both ways. >> yeah, no that's exactly right. section 230, so big tech gets a special immunity from liability that nobody else gets and the reason they get it is that congress believes they be neutral public, in other words they would allow people to post and it be third parties and

it wasn't fair to hold them liable for what other third parties said. ironically that's what google is attacking the federalist for doing is what the internet was supposed to be an open public forum. big caltech and in particular, google, facebook, twitter and youtube they made a conscience decision they aren't going to be a neutral public forum any more instead they will censor, shadow ban, silence the voices they disagree with they're silencing conservatives and amplify the voices they agree with and if they do that there's no reason on earth that congress should give them a special immunity from liability that nobody else gets. brian: seattle i've got to move you to breaking news you may have gotten as you walked up to our spot to do this live interview but we just found out about the jobless claims and 1.5 million americans have been laid off and are seeking jobless funds for that obviously unemployment insurance.

11th straight week we're seeing that increase. last week the number was 1.54, so we have 45 million people who have now lost their jobs. what's your thought on that and how much does that extra $600 have to do with that number that continues to go up? >> well for the past several months we faced two simultaneous national disasters and crisis. the first a global health pandemic has been enormously dangerous. its killed over 400,000 people worldwide. its killed over 100,000 americans, and we're taking extraordinary steps to defeat the virus and keep people safe. the second crisis is an economic disaster and that disaster is now resulted in over 44 million americans losing their jobs. this is unprecedented. we have not seen this in our lifetimes. the last time the country saw anything remotely like this was the great depression, and this

economic challenge is caused by government. it's caused by the policies government put in place to try to stop the pandemic. we've got to overcome both of these crisis. we've got to defeat this pandemic but we've also got to get the economy moving and i am lean leaning in and leaning in hard in texas and across the country saying we need to reopen the economy. we need to let small businesses open. people need to be able to provide for their families, provide for their employees, open up and do business. we canterbury strangle the economy that gives everyone a chance at the future at savings at hope at savings for their kids. we've got to now it doesn't mean we open willy nilly, we need to be smart and exercise sound science and use social distancing where appropriate, wear masks where appropriate but opening up the economy i think is a critical national security imperative, economic imperative and it's imperative for the millions of lives who

are really really hurting right now. ainsley: so its been reported that tesla is eying texas, austin, specifically, for their new plant. we were told a few weeks ago or a few months ago at the beginning of the pandemic he might want to move out of california and go to nevada or texas so i know travis county which is the county where austin texas so i know travis county which is the county where austin had a meeting on tuesday to discuss the incentive package. what's your reaction? i'm sure you're excited about this because it would bring a lot of jobs. >> well i'm very optimistic about tesla. when elon musk expressed loudly his dissatisfaction with their headquarters in california, i immediately responded with a tweet, welcoming him to texas pointing out we love jobs in the state of texas. actually followed that up by calling elon, he and i spent about 45 minutes on the phone and i was taking a walk in my neighborhood on the phone with him and i was walking my dog so it was an interesting strolling around walking my dog. ainsley: talking to elon musk. >> and telling him, come to texas. we love jobs we don't have the

crazy lunatics you've got there that'll shut your factory down and drive up your costs and let me tell you i've got, elon already has significant businesses in texas, spacex which he also owns, spacex has a rocket launch facility down at the southern tip of texas, which they want to expand dramatically. they have a rocket testing facility in mcgregor, texas just outside of waco. i've been there before so i lean ed in very hard saying texan s we like innovation, we like entrepreneurs, we like jobs texas is the place to be and i've got to tell you i am very optimistic that we're going to see tesla move their headquarters to texas, that we'll see tesla move a major factory to texas and that we're going to see a whole lot more good, high-paying jobs come to texas, because we don't have the idiot politicians they have elsewhere that are killing jobs and making it harder and harder for small businesses or large businesses to survive. steve: right. you know, texas did not have as

onerous restrictions regarding covid and businesses for the most part across-the-board. now, there are a number of stories or states like texas and florida that are seeing a spike in the covid numbers but at the same time they say the numbers but the whole idea in the beginning was to flatten the curve and keep people from having to go to the hospital and if they did go to the hospital to manage the number of people in intensive care. at this point the numbers may be going up but the number of hospitalizations is not at the danger red mark. >> that's exactly right and the objective of flattening the curve we plainly achieved we didn't want to see the hospitals overwhelmed. we all remember looking at what happened in it quality it where they have socialized medicines that's one of the things and their healthcare system was overwhelmed and they ran out of the capacity to care for those with covid-19.

we want to avoid that and we implemented a lot of steps to do that. right now, texas, we have had just over 2,000 deaths from covid-19 in texas. now that is 2,000 too many and we grieve those lives but out of 29 million people, that is keeping those numbers down significantly and it is much much less than many other places over half of the fatalities of the united states have unfortunately come in new york and new jersey in very dense, urban areas. i think texas' policies have done a better job mitigating the spread of this disease but we're also allowing people to go back to work that's better for jobs too. brian: absolutely and beijing is basically shutting down now. they were mocking us and now they're shutting down their capitol. senator ted cruz interesting times, there's so much going on. i've never remembered anything like this and i'm sure you don't either thanks so much for bringing us through it. >> thank you. ainsley: thank you.

here with the viral reaction is officer jeff schwartz. he is with the carney police department in nebraska along with the owners of the carney tire and auto, don and rhonda jeskey. good morning to you all. >> good morning. ainsley: good morning officer schwartz, it's so muching to watch this especially with everything that our country is going through right now involving law enforcement. tell me what happened. how you got the call and what you did. >> well we had received a couple citizens notifying us there was a flag on the ground in the area of carney tire & auto and as soon as i arrived i could see it on the ground that it had fallen from the flag holder so i attempted to put it back in the flag holder because it was flag day it was important , and then i noticed that the flag holder was broken so i tried to be respectful about the flag and rolled it up and set it against the building and made sure dispatch notified them that their flag was on the

ground. ainsley: there's so many great things about this because someone called 911 because they were concerned about a flag being on the ground and then you go and try to fix it and don and rhonda you were all out of town you saw the video later and the fact that you hang a flag is wonderful too. tell us what was your reaction when you saw that and how did you find out? >> well actually, we were out of town like you said and we couldn't take the phone call from dispatch so when we were finally able to listen to the message, don of course called right away back to the police department and i'm on my phone trying to see like is it on, is the building on fire, did somebody break in, and to find out it was the flag on the ground was just amazing, but that doesn't surprise us with our police department here in carney, they're just the best. ainsley: officer schwartz why did you do it and what does the flag mean to you you served our country seven years in the army and obviously you're serving now 28 years with the

police force. >> yes, i was taught at an early age to be patriotic to the country and we just have a fantastic relationship with our community and business owners and it was flag day and important to me to make sure that that was put up. so it about pained me to roll it up and not put it back on the holder. ainsley: don, what does it mean to you? what does the flag mean to you, why do you hang it? >> there's so much behind that flag. it's a rally point. it is what leads our troops in battle. there is so much to that. i can't speak enough about it. ainsley: and rhonda what's your message for law enforcement? >> you know, when i saw officer schwartz yesterday when he stopped, i said with everything going on around the country right now with the police and what they're going through, to

be in kearney, nebraska, i just can't even wrap my head around that because like officer schwartz said we have such a wonderful relationship with our police department here in kearney. they support the citizens, they support the community. they're involved with the schools, teaching our kids at a very young age that there's someone that they can depend on and trust, and for officer schwartz and the police department to react the way they did about this flag, we actually forgot that it was flag day to begin with. ainsley: i hate to cut you off we got to go.rf god bless you. -and always will be. never letting anything get in my way. not the doubts, distractions, or voice in my head. and certainly not arthritis. new voltaren provides powerful arthritis pain relief to help me keep moving. and it can help you too.
