tv   Bill Hemmer Reports  FOX News  June 18, 2020 12:00pm-1:00pm PDT

12:00 pm
thanks for doing the show. at thank you for joining us. i am dana perino. i will see you on "the five." did you see that thing about the pictures are no longer going to hit in the baseball game, and all that? i was very confused. >> bill: it's a covid world. it's confusing for all of us and baseball screwed this up. we'll see you at 5:00 p.m. talk to you soon. good afternoon everybody, i am bill helmer, big hour straight ahead. president trump meeting with governors about reopening fall amok small businesses. this as we await a reaction on major stories from today, excerpts from the former national security advisor john bolton's memoir revealing new acquisitions about his time at the white house. the president fired him back call in the book lies and made up stories. also today the u.s. supreme court blocked the
12:01 pm
administration's push to end legal protections for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants. news from all angles, and a moment, ari fleischer. the analysis with my colleague bret baier, first to the white house with the news happening there on the north lawn with john roberts. >> as you mentioned the ruling from the supreme court, one of the big ones the president is worried about. the white house taking some comfort that the supreme court did not decide the case on the merits of the program but rather he said the dhs did not follow the proper procedure and seeking to dismantle the program. it gives the president some room to try this again if he wants. the president tweeting "as president of the united states i'm asking for a legal solution on daka and not a political one consistent with the rule of law. the supreme court is not willing to give us once we know we have to start this process all over again." we don't know if they will go back to that same well and what
12:02 pm
will be the beginning and the height of the election year because the president knows that nothing will get done with immigration reform and that's what the president was trying to do here. dismantle the program, and say, now you folks in congress have got to fix this because this is no longer an executive issue. this becomes a legislative issue. also taking away from this decision the fact that executive power seems to be greater then he thought it was because it seems like the administration may not be able to undo executive orders from the previous administration. the president not into that saying, the decision while a highly political one is not based gives the president far more power than ever anticipated. never the less, i will only act in the best interest of the united states of america. the other big story here, the new book from john bolton, former national security advisor, "these room were to
12:03 pm
have been." department of justice wants to get in the middle of that. they've asked for an emergency hearing tomorrow on an injunction to temporary restraining order to stop the release of the book. the publishers saying, too late. this has already been shipped overseas and it's ready to go on bookstore shelves next tuesday. the cat is kind of out of the bag on this. clearly the president is worried about the criticisms that john bolton levels at him, particularly on the issue of ukraine, china, and turkey sank democrats in the house really missed the boat on this, accusing them of impeachment malpractice saying. they should have gone down other roads as well. there is a legitimate concern here according to white house officials that there was still classified information in this. i did go through an initial scrub, but on the second and was determined that there were still a lot of classified information. the department of justice trying to prevent its widespread release. i have a copy of it.
12:04 pm
they're trying to prevent its widespread, feeling there could be damage to u.s. policy if this gets out widely and the public forum. >> bill: may be they take a question. john roberts, thank you. back with ari fleischer today. former white house press secretary, nice to see you. here's a clip from abc. it kind of captures the headline that's been out there for a few days. >> i don't think he is fit for office. i don't think he has the confidence to carry out the job. there really hasn't any trip principle that i could discern other than what's good for donald trump's reelection. >> bill: what do you think? how much does this matter? >> i don't think it matters politically very much. i don't think it will change anybody's votes. i think it matters to john bolton. he wants to sell the books, get credit for the sales.
12:05 pm
he has a point of view. there is a long tradition of people doing that who have worked in the white house. what i don't like it is i'm more of a traditionalist. if you're going to write a book that's critical of the person who gave you that job, wait until you're out of it doesn't come across well. it serves i was curious to know from you. having yourself spent time in the west wing. when you have an employee who has worked there for seven months and cranks out a book nine months later, how would you judge that? >> that's my point. i wrote a book about president bush, i didn't wait, but it also wasn't a boat that attacked him for everything he did. i do think that's a distinction. if you really don't want to work for them, why did you accept the job in the first place. i don't think there's anything about donald trump that john bolton didn't know before he took the job, but he took the
12:06 pm
job. that's what i don't like about it from a traditional point of view. as for the things he says, my reaction about china is that he was explicit and said this is good for my reelection. no president should talk like that. other than the small degree of being explicit, what's the difference between that and what barack obama said? this is not the stuff of impeachment. this is not the stuff of high scandal. this is president trump and he pushes the envelope. >> bill: one more thing, president was asked about it and he said the only thing i liked about bolden was everybody thought he was crazy. when you walk into the room you're in a good negotiating position because they think you're going to war if john bolton was there. he is going to go on a big media tour. this is not the end of it. you could argue this is just the beginning of it. >> this is the beginning of it,
12:07 pm
it's such a predictable nature to the p.r. of this, there is no bombshells, nothing in here goes beyond what anybody previously thought about president trump for better or worse. this is about john selling a book, and that's why he's going to go on the tour and doesn't want the book to be did delayed by the justice department. he wants to get the sales now that he's put in the work. >> bill: thank you for coming on. ari fleischer. thank you, nice to see you. back to the supreme court ruling blocking the trump administration for more than half a million young immigrants. we will bring in bret baier. good afternoon to you. how do you score politically? in this election year? >> politically i think this issue was going to be dealt with politically by legislation eventually and he wanted, the president wanted to deal with it
12:08 pm
legally. the trump administration is losing on this effort, but it doesn't mean that this is a huge win for the opposition against president trump. i think both sides wanted to get to the end of the issue and figure out to the solution. the problem was that legislation wasn't appearing on capitol hill. >> bill: the thing he said, not whether the department of homeland security canvas and daka, the dispute is primarily about the procedure of the agency followed in doing so. you can go back and take another crack at this thing, could you not? >> 100% and i think they will. the end result here is a negotiating solution between the executive branch and the legislative branch that gets to a solution that includes the daka kids. i think there's some hope that would happen, but not in this
12:09 pm
current. >> bill: the way i understand it, the minimum might've been a more, or the protection through, and president trump wrote his own executive order. what the court says is that your order does not stand for it is that a fair reading? >> yeah, i think so. i think there were questions with president obama's executive order and the legality of it, and the supreme court is saying, you can't do it this way. you have to do it through a legislative way. and for the daka kids, and daka recipients, they have a window now to fight this battle. >> bill: in the meantime it's thursday, earlier in the week we had another ruling, that is when they cross sides with the justices. today you have robert siding on this decision as well. which brought a tweet and a reaction. he said this.
12:10 pm
"i will be releasing a new list of supreme court justice nominees which may include some or many of those already on the list by september 1st. if given opportunity i will only choose from this list as in the past conservative supreme court justice." that's the signal now that he's paying attention. he did something similar and 2016. do you think it helped him of them? >> 100%. that was one of the primary issues that drove evangelicals and particular to the polls, the supreme court issue. and remember, the brett kavanaugh hearings, and all of that came out of that in the lead up to an election. i think that issue alone is one of the driving forces of trump supporter's. what happened on the court this week with roberts. he appears to be the new swing vote, sort of like a kennedy-esque vote.
12:11 pm
a surprise some people end of the critics would say it was legislating from the bench. that is where they see it. for conservatives they look at that, the appointments as a key moment for the politics of 2020. >> we have the judge and a 30 minutes and we will figure it out. in the meantime, john bolton next week airs on special reports. first question. >> i think there are many questions and i'm sure he will have a lot of folks that he's talking to. however i disagree. i think this book unlike other tell ohls may be politically damaging and in part because this is a guy who was loathed by the left. he was chosen by president trump to be in that position and he was in the room. what is in this book kd what it does politically to the
12:12 pm
president, we will see, but potentially some of the things in here are explosive. i don't think it can be brushed off. >> bill: thank you. next to see you. see you at 6:00 p.m. tonight. as we mentioned we are waiting for a possible reaction to all of this and the president right now meeting this hour. remember, tulsa, oklahoma, on saturday at the big rally. when it begins we will take you there live. fox news alert. sources say the former police officer charged with murder for shooting rayshard brooks turned himself and moments ago. we will head to atlanta for the latest on that. dr. marc siegel on the risks of attending the rally over the weekend during the pandemic and a business owner and seattle say police did not respond to repeated calls for help when their shop was attacked and today they still stand on guard to protect it. they are our guests coming up and moments.

12:17 pm
president's decision to hold us rally. i want to bring in dr. marc siegel to talk about this. how are you doing? health officials and oklahoma say it's not a good idea. what do you think? is it a good idea or not? >> i think it's doable. i think it's a good idea under certain circumstances. i would like to see it outdoors. i like the idea that they're going to give out masks and use hand sanitizer. i like that. there is no reason you can't build social distancing. one thing that goes in favor of it is that all the rallies, the protests that we have seen over the last week, couple of weeks has not shown an increase and cases. in minneapolis specifically they studied that. of course i'm all for social distancing, but it depends exactly on how many cases are in the area. even though there's been a surge of cases in oklahoma, 50% increase and tolls all alone,
12:18 pm
you're still only talking about 500 cases over the past week. the chances of one of those getting into the arena is still quite low. >> bill: you set a lot, you're saying after the protests in minneapolis the number did not go higher? what about new york or l.a.? was there evidence in any of those cities? >> no correlation whatsoever. new york there was a question that we brought up about whether the trace is actually asked that question had you been to a protest or not. i need to know complete information to give you a complete answer, but my feeling is we have not shown any scien science. >> bill: why would t be the case? that goes against conventional wisdom for the past three months. why? >> it goes against my wisdom too because i think social distancing matters, but the cdc said something, they said that
12:19 pm
and they're basing this on several studies, one including the research study that shows that most case transmissions occur with 15 minutes or more of exposure. unless somebody sneezes or coughs on you it has to be a prolonged exposure. it's not somebody you pass in a crowd outside. it's not somebody that has to come within a foot of view. it's someone that's coughing on you, sneezing on you, or someone singing or shouting at you over several minutes. that's the vast majority of cases. >> bill: back in tulsa, indoor event, arena holds 19,000 and there is an outdoor stadium nearby that holds many more, and you have stated you would like to see it outside. end of the meantime, new york's governor is saying that he may take travelers from florida who come back to new york and put them and quarantine. he made that comment four hours ago.
12:20 pm
have you heard it? what do you think that says? >> i'm judging everything by public health. i don't like it when the governor talked about locking down new york city again after all we've been through, but when he talks about travelers, making them quarantine, that decision is based completely on how many cases there are. florida is surging right now. partly because they're testing so much, but that surge means that a quarantine after you get here, where the cases are going down here, that quarantine should be on the table. that's good public health. >> bill: masks and hand sanitizers, is that good enough for tulsa? quick answer. what would you do? >> social distancing and outdoors. >> bill: tough to do inside. we will see how it goes. nice to see you. >> oklahoma university.
12:21 pm
>> bill: police clearing a zone after protesters started building barricades, but it's a different story and seattle. demonstrators don't seem like they're leaving anytime soon. a talk with the business owner says he's worried about his safety and wants the police to do more for him and his business. eco-they would not respond to our call. that's a pretty serious call that when you have somebody in your building that has started a fire and stolen your property ♪ i don't see it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ and still going for my best.

from the pacific northwest. >> being created throughout the different streets. dumpsters, construction equipment, newspaper boxes. thankfully we were able to get our officers in after a period of warning and they were able to safely clear the area. >> bill: that is from seattle, another autonomous zone south of seattle. this time in the city of portland, oregon. the police quickly shut it down. here's a video of them were moving barricades today. meanwhile demonstrators are digging in and they have occupied an area around a precinct for a week now. jonathan hunt is back on the scene good what's happening? >> that protest was shut down pretty quickly. no such science of anything like that happening here. we are in day ten of the capitol hill occupation protest zone. and despite the president's
12:27 pm
insistence that there should be cleared, that doesn't look like it's going to happen. president trump of course repeating the calls for this to be shut down just last night. listen here. >> they just took it over and the police are somehow told not to be there. i'm sure they're doing a good job if they're being told to, i assume they are properly trained. we would go in there and we would take it back quickly. they should never be allowed to fester like it is. it's disgraceful to our country. it's a disgrace. >> the governor of washington state essentially left off the threats. listen again. >> he is not going to be attacking seattle anytime soon. frankly the electoral prospects or something that have kind of fallen over a cliff and he is looking to change the subject for some difficulty of dealing
12:28 pm
with covid. anyway, he's not going to be attacking washington state. >> a growing sense of permanence or at the very least longevity about this protest zone right now. we have seen aesidence today strolling through here with their morning iced coffee. we have seen people with their kids in strollers, people jogging through the zone. there is a fairly peaceful coexistence right now, although there has been some instances of violence as you will guess. >> bill: thank you. there is this as he referred to. check it out. get this, right near where jonathan is, sunday night. an auto shop on the edge of that protest zone and seattle. they claim the cops never showed up. they called 911 more than a
12:29 pm
dozen times. john make payment and his son is with me now. i don't know what you've been through but it sounds like an awful lot. let's start with dad. why did no one show up when you called? >> i come to find out after a couple of calls that there was a direct from the mayor and city council to, they're not able to come and engage unless there was mass casualty. and to be honest i don't understand the thought process behind that, but yeah. >> bill: it doesn't make sense. i understand you called police and fire 19 times. mason, what do these protesters want? while you are? >> i can say that there were protesters who wanted to get into the shop, i know one guy
12:30 pm
got into the shop and lit it on fire and we came here to protect our family business. >> bill: i'm reading that you're there 24/7 to make sure it doesn't happen again. how are you doing that? because i'm here all night and i'll leave in the morning and i, so mike back in the evening. >> bill: do you feel safe? >> no. >> bill: what can he do about that? >> all we can do is ask our elected officials do what they put up to do and we hope that they can allow our police to show up when we called. >> bill: john, you have a problem with how they are handling this? what do you think? >> i'm very disappointed and the job they're doing. it's really unfortunate that, it's not just my shop that is at risk. it's the residence. from what i understand, there are homes in this for a block area where they're occupying.
12:31 pm
and they're just not, were not safe. they don't show up. it's distressing to say the least. >> bill: one last thing, some describe them as peaceful protesters. how would you describe that? >> there is obviously multiple elements going on there. there are peaceful people. if you watch the videos you can see there were people there that were from, if you will, the protest that were trying to help de-escalate the situation. at the same time there were people that were trying to escalate the situation. our whole goal was to catch this person that broke into our place of business and hand them over to the police. because the police didn't come, it ramped up. >> bill: i can give you some
12:32 pm
breaking news, apparently the perpetrator of your business has been arrested. we will see what comes of that. seattle pd gave us a statement, in regards to that fire we did go there and take a report. we have an open investigation. that's all i can say about this. gentlemen, you might be entered for another long night. good luck to both to you. thank you. the former police officer in atlanta charged for shooting rayshard brooks turned himself in. ted williams on what is next. also the supreme court dealing back-to-back blows were the trump administration this week, the judges here on what this could mean for the future of the court and what it means about the makeup today. the judge is on deck coming up.

12:37 pm
we are listing for headlines and one there are questions we will bring you there alive. from atlanta, a police officer charged with the death of rayshard brooks turning himself in a short time ago. facing 11 accounts including felony murder, his partner surrounded earlier today. legal reaction from a d.c. detective ted williams and the judge on that. the first to steve harrigan for the fallout for today. >> that is right, both officers had until 6:00 p.m. to turn themselves and m both have done so. earlier this morning it was the officer who did not fire a shot, he turned himself in earlier this morning. he was in the police station for an hour and then he was set loose on a bond. the man with a more serious charge, 11 charges including felony murder is still in the police station. it's not clear whether there will be any agreement on bond or not. of course it all went down
12:38 pm
friday night at a wendy's, 10:30 p.m. when the officers were called to the scene. brooks failed a sobriety test, he fought with the police officers, he stole a taser, he fired it at the officers before being shot twice in the back. the other developing story is a no-show by police. a number of officers did not show up for their shift, and part of protest due to the murder charge against their fellow officer, their former office. it's not clear how many officers did not show up. issuing an unusual tweet saying they're still able to respond to 911 calls, it's not clear whether the protest will continue into tonight. >> bill: very intriguing. thank you. we want to bring in ted willia williams. good afternoon. what does that tell you? >> it tells me that morale is
12:39 pm
terribly low on the atlanta police department. and that the results of that, these officers do not feel that the city administrators have their back. what they would have liked to have seen is before the d.a., paul howard came out and had of this 41 minutes of fiasco with announcing these charges against these two officers. he would've waited and that he would have allowed the georgia bureau of investigation to finish their investigation before even considering charges and that did not happen. >> bill: i heard you talking last night, you think it's an overcharge. why? >> it is clearly an overcharge in this case. you have one officer charged with 11 counts year. and one of the counts that just stands out as a charge, one
12:40 pm
officer has fired his weapon. the bullet has gone in the direction of some individuals and a car. the officer rolfe is charged with aggravated. you have to show intent and to you can't show that. one of the other things that you need to consider here is when you look at aggravated assault, which is the underlying charge for this, you have to ask yourself, who was assaulted first? i don't want anybody to die, but mr. brooks assaulted the officer and an attempt to get away from them. >> bill: thank you. ted williams. listening to everything you are saying, you bring up a lot of legal issues that will play out in front of a jury.
12:41 pm
thank you. judge napolitano is here. good afternoon. what do you think of that? >> hey, bill. i agree with everything ted said. this is a very serious overcharge. i don't know the motivation for the charge. it is either an effort to placate the mob because of the political and legal troubles that they d.a. has, or at a strategic meaning overcharge him and expect him to plead guilty to one of the lesser charges. if he doesn't plead guilty he cannot, as he so nicely said, he cannot underscore, cannot be convicted of felony murder. if they try or of a felony murder i would think he reaction and the streets will be just as volatile, perhaps more so than the reaction of the death of mr. brooks. that's a tragic mistake. >> bill: you raise expectations for the community when you go too far. two weeks ago the d.a. said it's
12:42 pm
a deadly weapon. i ask you, is a taser a deadly weapon or not? yesterday he changed his mind. >> he is speaking out of both sides of his mouth depending on what is convenient. quite frankly experts will be on both sides of the issue, but the overwhelming weight of authority meaning most experts will tell you that it is a deadly weapon. it's 50,000 volts, enough to stop an elephant. enough to kill a human being. it almost doesn't matter. what matters is what the police officer thought. if the police officer believed a deadly weapon and was aimed at him, even a rubber band, he is justified in using deadly force. >> bill: it sounds like there is defense in your answer. is that what we expect? >> we have a very serious to fans. the reason he won't be convicted
12:43 pm
is don't think he'll be charged. i think many of these counts will be thrown out by the judge. >> bill: interesting. we mentioned the supreme court, what do you think of these two cases? in ways that people do not expect with judge roberts going against the other conservatives on the court, and then the daka ruling. from a 35,000-foot level, how do you read this court today? >> the decision today i read as the chief justice wanting to avoid postpone, or delay controversy which he often does. or creatively get the court out of the obligation to decide a case. he did this with the affordable care act, obamacare in 2012. this is disheartening for those who expected him to go the other way, but very rewarding for the 800,000 folks that are here.
