tv Bill Hemmer Reports FOX News June 19, 2020 12:00pm-1:00pm PDT
12:00 pm
indeed, a lot of love for you, tyrus. thank you so much. we'll see you on "the greg gutfeld show" this weekend. thank you for joining us, everybody. i am dana perino. i will see you on "the five" one more show to do before it is my weekend, bill. >> bill: to all of the dads, you need a day, right, happy father's day, pops. thank you, dana, see you soon. and good friday afternoon, big hour begins now, i am bill hemmer, and growing calls for police reform and racial equality as millions begin their march of juneteenth. getting a lot more attention after the death of george floyd happening at this hour. meanwhile the white house warning against violent protests and the rally in tulsa, the first campaign stop when the pandemic began back in march. in a moment, geraldo rivera and silver rights leader on that. first a christian for sure from the white house where there are headlines that began today and that's where we begin.
12:01 pm
>> with about 24 hours left to go after the rally, you have the head of the world health organization saying that the world is entering a new and dangerous phase that the pandemic is accelerating, covid-19 cases on the rise in oklahoma and them mayor has called a civil emergency. calling all of that together, ask the press secretary during the briefing if there are any reservations within the west wing about going forward with today's rally. here's what she said. >> we are on board with going to oklahoma, taking appropriate measures like hand sanitizing and masking at the door, but i also note to you from the governor of oklahoma that he says that most of the cases he is seeing are in the 18-35 group where they are seeing a slight increase, and they are asymptomatic individuals. >> tulsa's mayor says that he is worried about people who have been involved in violent and destructive protests in other states coming to tulsa for this
12:02 pm
rally to cause unrest. and prompting any protesters, looters or lowlifes going to oklahoma, please understand you will not be treated like you have been in new york, seattle, or minneapolis, it will be a much different scene. that caused quite a bit of controversy on twitter. white house press secretary clarified those comments today saying that the president was only referring to violent protesters, not peaceful ones. >> what the president was noting is that there was excusable things that we saw play out in new york, seattle, and minneapolis. and we would not see tulsa, oklahoma, that way. >> everybody that attends tomorrow's rally will be given a face mask, but it is up to them to determine whether or not today actually wear it. you have brad purcell saying that he will likely wear a mask tomorrow, but the press secretary said that she likely will not, but for every
12:03 pm
individual rally goer, about 20,000 of them will be inside the arena tomorrow. it is up to them whether or not they wear a mask. >> bill: we will be watching, thank you kristin fisher, civil rights attorney, fox news geraldo rivera, good day to both of you. ben carson coming up later, you will hear a little bit more of the same conversation that i want to have with the two of you. i don't know where you come down on this, but i will begin with you, do we need to make today a national holiday? should we take the portraits and the statues out of times square and dispose of them in some museum? what do you think about that? >> it is very easy for me, bill, if giving the choice, authored by tim scott, we don't need a holiday, we don't need to take down the statue, that is symbolic. i want real legislation changes with bad police officer, so no holidays necessary, give us
12:04 pm
police reform. >> we will see it in time if they get that, they want it before the fourth of july, what do you think of the big overarching question? >> i think that societal changes extremely difficult. i have been around many times, and i live through the antiwar and civil rights protests of the late 60s and early 70s, i have never seen the sustained passion since then 50 years since we have had this kind of sustained passion and they worry that these folks need some kind of resolution to this crisis, i don't anticipate they are going to get up a lot in terms of legislation. i think it is a good gesture, and why not, the emancipation proclamation, one of the great landmark offense and the freeing of the in north america, i think that we should celebrate that joyous day. and i come around on the statue. i think that so many of these
12:05 pm
statues were erected during jim crow, during reconstruction. they were erected to terrorize the american population in the african-american population in those days and i don't think they hearken back to the romantic johnny reb as much as they kind of stick it to black folks. >> bill: if you start there, where do you stop on that? in your state of ohio in columbus, the mayor says that they will take out the statue of christopher columbus. in columbus, ohio. where does that end? >> i think, first of all, i have some credibility, because i'm 10% native american. so my ancestors were here before any europeans and africans, i think that columbus, he did discover east or western europe, the new world, -- >> i don't know where you go,
12:06 pm
leo. >> as some credibility too, i used to be a schoolteacher, i don't want to eliminate the fact that george washington and thomas jefferson both had. that is part of the history. i have no problem with a history. i am living in the present and the whole reason why the last two weeks has been chaotic is because of the issue about police reform. people are trying to conflate george floyd which is a horrible situation with what happen in atlanta. i want to police reform, 97% of the officers are good, give me a police reform and leave the statute and the holiday -- >> bill: what does that look like? >> very easy, thank you for asking. we are talking about every officer to wear cameras, we are talking about a national database so that officers and one bad area cannot work in another area, and more importantly, bill, we need an independent prosecutor to prosecute police officers. why? because the d.a. has a conflict of interest because they work with police officer.
12:07 pm
give me those three things and i am happy. >> bill: it sounds like a short list, geraldo. >> i think you have to add to that list of the elimination of choke hold spread president trump is on the right track and i'm glad that he heeded the ammunition from various people who studied this, the choke hold has no place in modern policing. >> bill: gentlemen, thank you. you go with that too? >> i'm good with that. >> bill: gentlemen, thank you so much. to all of you out there, i hope to see you back here soon. thank you so much. these protesters now have occupied a protest zone in seattle commemorating juneteenth, dan springer with more. what are you picking up today? >> the celebration has already begun here, they just stop the music a second ago, but they had been playing music, this is day 11 of the occupying protest here in downtown seattle and it has the look and the feel of a protest that will last certainly
12:08 pm
weeks, perhaps months. that would be a boon to private security companies that have never been busier. with no police in the area, companies, residents, and the news media are hiring private guards for protection. roughly 500 people who live in the protest zone have moved out saying they can't take anymore. and after a car repair shop got robbed, more local businesses are hiring security guards. as residents have noticed, there is a big differenc difference bn night and day. [sirens] >> we have been shell-shocked by the police, and now this, these people are evil at night. they are horrible. >> i could go to a homeless shelter right now just to be away from the violence. >> as a way to celebrate juneteenth, all the white protesters here are being asked to vacate the big sports field in the protest area. they are calling it a blackout and reserving the field for a
12:09 pm
black from 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. there is also a different part of seattle, earlier we spoke with a seattle man who was a trump supporter who has come to several times and is being run by some intimidation. >> if you want to come down here with a black lives matter teacher, you're not going to have a problem. you come with an american flag, you're going to have a problem. you come with a trump hat or t-shirt, i was able to do it for a while until i put out the flag that got set on fire. that is an act of terrorism. >> in the seattle police officers have taken a political blow, yesterday the king county labor council voted them out of that counsel saying that they don't respect diversity and racial justice. so they got eliminated from that at the very time where they needed that political help the most as the city is calling for them to be defended. >> dan springer, thank you, and seattle today, another fox news report, police chief saying he
12:10 pm

12:15 pm
looking at documents currently and we are going to move forward in a responsible way. >> bill: this is not over, talking about the supreme courts decision of reflecting the dreamers, praising that ruling that protects hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the country as kids. here to talk about it, president obama's former defense secretary leon panetta, but first carrie severino, former law for work to justice thomas and beginning with you. does it seem like the fight is over? it looks like the administration is going to have another crack at this, am i right on that? >> that is essentially what the majority opinion invited the government to deal, they said undoubtedly everybody who believes the government can rollback daca, but they say that it is unlawful and you don't even need to jump through hoops, but the majority saying, go through all of the different hurdles, but it is still shameful that they are going through so much procedure when
12:16 pm
we all know that obama did not take any of those procedures to put it into place and that is part of the reason it is unlawful. >> bill: shameful is a pretty strong word, shameful? >> i think it is. i think that they are holding a different standard to these administration then they did to the obama administration. justice roberts himself concurred that the program was not well-founded constitutionally. and i think that they then come and you need to go through a complicated regulatory process coming years were so far in order to remove something that they don't even have the authority to do in the first place. the court is not able to force government to take action, and constitutional authority for it. you can't stop doing things. >> bill: for justice thomas, thomas, wall street journal on dhaka, obama, can they for the editorial piece, it reads as justice thomas explains, the
12:17 pm
president should not have to formal administrative procedures to reverse a policy that was unlawful in the first place. do you think the court by making this ruling tried to avoid a politically sensitive issue? >> a lot of people are speculating that. the dissent actually suggest that that's what they were doing. but the problem is we talk about chief justice roberts and the institutional court, this is diametrically opposed to those interests. it makes the court look incredibly political, not because of the legal merit, but because even if you try to help trump, my goodness, that is still a political motivation that is nothing like what a judge is supposed to do. >> bill: thank you for your time today. nice to see you. i want to bring in leon panetta, former defense secretary, cia director and white house chief of staff. good day to you, did the court pond on this? >> you know, every time the supreme court renders a decision if it does not go against you,
12:18 pm
you criticize it. if it goes for you, you commend it. i think the court had to look at this case very carefully, look at the law with regards to how you can do this and how a president should do this and came down with the decision. and frankly i think that the daca kids ought to be protected. there 700,000 of them. they are involved in health care. they are involved in our education system. they are involved in the military. good people, serving this country. i think what is needed now is for the president and the congress to work together to statutorily fix this problem. not play games with another executive order, let's have a congress and the president worked together on legislation to fix this. >> bill: you know how massively complicated that is, you don't get that done in an election year, and i think you agree with that. has congress punted knowing the
12:19 pm
difficulty of getting something like this done? >> unfortunately we have somewhat of a dysfunctional congress as well, in terms of the ability of both republicans and democrats to work together to deal with problems facing our country, neither party has been able to come together on fixing our immigration system and it's reflected in the daca issue. both republicans and democrats are concerned about these daca kids, and they should be. and both of them on to be working together to try to get this fixed so that these kids can have a status in our country and we can recognize that these are innocent victims who want to be a part of america. i hope that both parties to work it out. >> bill: want to squeeze in one final question, if you look at the decision, they are saying that the administration did not follow procedure, go back and read it again, which is what they will do you in the end.
12:20 pm
>> yeah, well unfortunately i think that if they do it will wind up in litigation and this is not going to be solved before the election. what both sides ought to agree on is that they should be trying to statutorily fix this issue so that the students are protected period. that's what they ought to be doing. >> bill: thank you for your time. leon panetta in california. thank you. president trump warning protesters not to cause trouble before his rally in tulsa tomorrow. at city's mayor delivering a similar emergency as thousands of people are expected to attend. in the latest fox news pulling in the race for the white house less than five months out, which voters are more enthusiastic about their candidates?

12:39 pm
you have big problems. so i think that the solution or economic problem is let's get the blue states up like the red states are up. >> bill: the point is that the viruses that thing thing, right? >> yes, of course it is. three quarters of people in polls say that they are uncomfortable going to eat dinner at a restaurant. two thirds of people say that they are uncomfortable going to a story. the reason that the blue states that you are mentioning had worse unemployment experiences is they had their earlier outbreaks of the virus. we -- what we want is for the virus not to spread and that everybody can come out of their houses and we will feel safe enough to go back to stores and we can get back to doing what we were doing. so far that was going well, except in texas and florida and many of those states that had the good experience, you are now starting to see the cases rising again and we have to stop the spread of the virus that is the number one thing to bring the

12:41 pm
>> i don't think that is factually right, the unemployment rate as you probably know, the bls put it out and said that there are takers of the data that made a mistake. so the actual unemployment rate is three points higher than what they reported because they counted temporarily people who will be unemployed and counted them as employed. once you take into account to that typo, your statement is not actually correct. >> bill: is this not right? the number of people getting jobless benefits exceeds the unemployment number? >> it may or may not be true. austin has a point. i do believe that understating the people who are unemployed, because what has happened is we are paying businesses right now to keep people on their payroll even if they are not working. i agree, i think that the actual unemployment rate is higher than is being reported, and the only way to bring that number down is

think that this is necessary for an american cultural cleanse? >> no, i don't think so. i think it is silly, quite frankly. those that forget their history are bound to repeat the mistakes from their history. and what intelligent people do is they analyze their history, both the good things and the bad things, and they learn from those things, and they are able to advance. but if you try to hide them, what good does that do. it makes no sense. >> bill: take the city of atlanta where there has been a lot of unrest. the mayor is black, the d.a. is black. i believe 58% of the police force is african-american. you have heard the phrase systemic racism, i don't know how you interpret that, would you say that to the city of atlanta is operating under that
12:51 pm
system of systemic, or would you say it is progress? >> i would say that it is tremendous progress. many of the large cities in our country have blacks in the highest executive positions. so if there is systemic racism, i guess it means that they are responsible for it. and i don't think that there is systemic racism, so if you take the one, you have to take the other. >> bill: you are in orlando for a very specific reason, part is to push the opportunities out. james clyburn, the democratic african-american congress member, talking about the opportunities. he says that all it amounts to is gentrification. he suggests that the minorities who live in those neighborhoods do not reap the benefits of the investment. is he right about that? that minorities are moved out and the investors with the money just move in? >> certainly not what i have seen in tampa earlier this morning, now in orlando, not

seeing that at all. i'm seeing minorities benefiting tremendously from some of the beautiful projects that are being created here. multifamily -- multi-income, multipurpose with appropriate surrounding structures, grocery stores, commercial facility, and job offerings, and training facilities. so there are some people who expect you to wave a magic wand and things to be beautiful for everybody immediately. it does not quite work that way. but we are making progress. >> bill: have asked you a lot of questions about race in america today on june 19th, and the short time that i have left, what do you think we have to learn? >> i think we need to learn that we are all in the same vote. and if part of the vote sinks, the rest of it goes down too. so we need to be concerned about
