forest service shouldn't get to make the decision and it's a good sign for the development out there. paul: all right.. that's it for. this week's show. thanks toan my panel and thankso all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot, we hope to see you right here next week. ♪ arthel: president trump set to roll out new immigration restrictions this week, saying he will suspend temporarily work visas for certain skills and seasonal foreign workers for the rest of the year. the white house says it's an effort to protect americans struggling with the job market devastated by the pandemic. hello, welcome to a brand-new hour of america's news headquarters on this father's day. i'm arthel neville. happy father's day everyone. happy father's day, eric. eric: thank you, arthel. happy father's day to all the dads out there. i'm eric shawn. the president telling fox news exclusively that he will refile

a bid to end daca, that as you know is the program president obama started to shield immigrants who were brought here illegally as children from deportation. this comes after the supreme court blocked the trump administration from rescinding those very protections. acting homeland security secretary chad wolf told us the white house still believes that daca is against the law. >> at no point in that decision did they say the program was lawful. they simply didn't like the rational and the procedures that we used. what we have seen from this administration is we take a logical approach to winding this down over a six month period, been very clear about that and so we find ourselves where we're at today. the president's been very clear. we need to find a solution for this population. eric: the president vowing to take another crack at daca and david spunt is live at the white house with that. hi, david. >> reporter: hi, eric. good afternoon to you. president trump making quite a bit of news in that exclusive

interview with chief white house correspondent john roberts before that rally last night in tulsa, oklahoma, talking about those temporary work programs that he says that he'll be suspending part of those for the rest of the year. i want to put up a graphic, showing which ones are affected, specifically these are effective through the end of the year. the visas are for temporary foreign workers of to come into the united states before heading one, some are for temporary tech employees, some for those in the academic field and some for executives part of large companies. >> with these visa restrictions there may be some exclusions. >> very little. in some cases you have to have exclusions. you need them for big businesses where they have certain people that have been coming in for a long time. but very little exclusion and they're pretty tight and we may even go very tight for a period of time. >> reporter: and we're waiting to hear from the president on those either today or tomorrow. the president also made news by announcing his administration will refile with the supreme

court as you mentioned after losing that battle over a proper way to dismantle daca. that's an executive action signed by president obama to protect 660,000 foreign born children who of moved to the country at a young age with their parents. the court rules 5-4 that the trump administration did not present proper evidence to knicknixthe program. president trump is golfing, he just finished a round of golf. campaign officials are playing down the crowd size last night. you may remember the trump campaign said they had about a million people that rsved for the event. they were supposed to take this stage outside last night before the rally for people that couldn't fit in the arena. that never happened. there were 6200 tickets scanned to get in the rally. crews took the outdoor stage down after it was clear that crowds were not showing up. >> there was a third, if not half of the rally was empty, the

arena was empty. you can't deny it. >> i'm going to say it again. the president went out to talk directly to the american people, to talk about the failed record of joe biden. >> reporter: six advanced staffers that were in tulsa that work with the trump campaign, they contracted covid-19. they tested positive. as far as the next trump rally is concerned, we don't know but president trump and campaign advisors said they expect several to happen over the next several months. eric. eric: even though some of those nose bleed seats were empty at the event, the campaign said that millions did watch on the internet. so we'll see what happens the next week. arthel. arthel: eric, thank you. as the president returns to the campaign trail, his presumptive democratic rival, joe biden, is looking to stay competitive. biden's campaign and the dnc announcing they outraised president trump and the rnc for the month of may.

first time that happened since the race in 2020. the latest fox news poll showing 50% of registered voters support biden, giving the former vp a 12 point lead over the incumbent. a few points up from last month. let's go to jacqui heinrich, live in new york city with more on this. hi, jacqui. >> reporter: hi, arthel. biden's recent surge in the polls is translating to dollars. pulling ahead of president trump's fund raising operations for the first time in may with an $80 million haul, it's about 10% more than what the republicans brought in during that same time period. notably more than half of biden's donors said they were new to his campaign and the dnc said they're doing well with big and small donors, despite high unemployment since the coronavirus pandemic. the trump campaign has more cash on hand overall. the surge for biden is happening as he widens his lead over president trump in the polls. the latest fox news poll shows

biden ahead 12 points. another portion of the pole poll shows the momentum behind him may have less to do with liking biden as a candidate than wanting -- rather not wanting trump to win a second term. nearly two-thirds of biden supporters said the biggest motivation was fear that the other candidate would win. biden's campaign says they're not worried about a lack of enthusiasm. >> we heard this a lot throughout the primary, aboutenn enthusiasm gap. what we saw in the primaries is vice president biden in contest after contest handily won. >> reporter: biden says he plans to pick a running mate by august. he's facing increased pressure to pick a black vp after senator amy klobuchar ducked out of the running amid the black lives matter protest and said now is the time to put a woman of color on the ticket.

two contenders have backgrounds in law enforcement, harris serving as prosecutor and attorney general, and demings as a former orlando police chief. critics say selecting a running mate with a law enforcement background could be a failure to recognize calls from the black lives matter movement to defund police. demings said she has chosen a tough career path so she could make an impact. arthel. arthel: jacqui heinrich, thank you very much. eric. eric: arthel, protesters say that occupied area of downtown seattle is police-free. you know what happens when you don't have cops? you can't solve crimes. when officers did respond to a 911 call from inside that zone yesterday about a shooting, turned out that the police could not even get to that shooting scene at the time. >> what's going on? >> put your [bleep] gun down. >> put your dawn gun --

eric: you're looking at the scene when first responders were called in, one man was shot dead, another critically injured in the incident. ththey are calling the lack of leadership in the chop territory, criticizing that. dan springer is live in seattle at the entrance of the chop section with the very latest on that. dan. >> reporter: eric, city officials appear to want to have it both ways. they are doing things that are encouraging this ongoing protest to continue and yet they also are expecting police and fire to go inside the chop, even when it's too dangerous to do so. >> clear the way so we can get to the victim. all we're trying to do is goat the victim. >> reporter: -- get to the victim. >> reporter: seattle police did respond to a shooting inside the occupation zone early saturday morning but as body cam shows they were met by an angry mob.

one officer is heard saying as you heard, please let us get through. we want to get to the victims. the crowd did not comply. police decided all they could do is retreat, unable to use pepper spray or tear gas to control the crowd because it was taken away by city officials. this is while they were taunted with bottles being thrown at them. as they drive away, more humiliation as the crowd cheers and chants, whose streets, our streets. all the while, a 19-year-old black teenager was killed and another black man who is 33 is in the -- he that was the occupation zone, he is in critical condition. the mayor who said this might be seattle's summer of love did not do any media today or yesterday. the office put out a statement saying the primary duty of seattle fire and police is to ensure public safety in all parts of the city. and in another bit of irony, a local rapper name raz simone who took it upon himself to be the

armed enforcer inside the cop-free zone put out a video on twitter showing himself pleading with paramedics to go inside and rescue the shooting victims and he was not alone. there were dozens and dozens of 911 calls placed to police and they did come, but as you saw, eric, they were not able to get inside. police have no suspects in this ongoing and open investigation but again, an investigation that's hampered by the fact that they were never able to get inside and process the scene or talk to witnesses. eric. eric: just so sad but i'm afraid to say maybe not so shocking, the municipality has no sense of law and order in that area. thank you, dan. arthel. arthel: eric, the former atlanta police officer who fatally shot 27-year-old rayshard brooks was reportedly involved in another shooting of a black man five years ago. that shooting left a man with a punctured lung.

the atlanta journal constitution reports that the older case against garrett rolf was handed over to the fulton county da who cleared him and other officers involved. brian llenas is live in atlanta. brian. >> reporter: arthel, good afternoon. yeah, we are learning more about former atlanta police officer garrett rolf and his history at the department. according to court documents obtained by the atlanta journal constitution, in 2015 rolf fired three gunshots hitting a black man named jackie harris in the back once. harris at the time had tried to flee from police and was spotted in a stolen truck. he was unarmed but reportedly tried twice to run into a parked police car. the case was investigated by the district attorney, paul howard, who cleared rolf of wrong-doing this february, five years after the shooting. howard is of course the same da who criminally charged rolf with murder just five days after he

shot and killed rayshard brooks twice in the back after brooks fought with officers, stole a police taser and fired it at rolf. in six -- in 2016, rolf was invd in another incident. he was given a written reprimand for pointing his gun at a car he and other officers were pursuing in a car chase. atlanta police officers have been calling out sick in protest of the charges against both of officers involved in the brooks shooting. some believe the da hayes at this -- haste ely charged the officers before the bureau of investigation could finish its own investigation into the shooting. today, georgia republican representative doug collins spoke to police and renewed his concerns that the da filed charges quickly because he's in the middle of a runoff election. >> what has happened over the past couple weeks has been wrong. it is time for the district attorney of fulton county to step aside and have someone --

[ cheering and applause ] >> and to allow the attorney general to appoint an independent prosecutor. you cannot prosecute cases until the investigation is over. you don't do it for politics. your job is to find justice for everyone. not race, not class, not anything else. >> reporter: meantime, an arrest warrant was issued for natalie white shown in these surveillance images, one of multiple people suspected of burning down the wendy's where brooks was killed. it appears white has a personal connection to rayshard brooks. listen to brooks refer to her as his girlfriend and police body cam footage minutes before he was shot. >> university avenue, i growed up here. natalie white, she's my girlfriend. she left off, i said babe, i'm going to get wendy's and go back to work. >> reporter: a public viewing is scheduled tomorrow at 3:00 p.m.

for rayshard brooks. a private funeral is scheduled tuesday at 1:00 p.m. at the historic ebenezer baptist church in atlanta. arthel. arthel: in atlanta, brian llenas. thank you, brian. eric. eric: arthel, there was an overnight shooting in minneapolis that killed one man and left 11 others wounded. witnesses say shots broke out of shortly after midnight in the city's uptown neighborhood. last month they had to deal with the unrest in the wake of george floyd's tragic death. police believe there were multiple shooters in the incident. they are searching for suspects and possible motive. the neighborhood has a lot of bars and restaurants. some of the windows were damage and shot out. arthel. arthel: eric, officials warning a sharp rise of coronavirus cases in florida and they say one age group in particular is fueling the spike. we'll have details on that coming up next. ta-da!

coronavirus cases, urging vacationers of to socially distance at the beach or while camping. right now, across the country, there are more than 2.2 million confirmed cases of covid-19 with nearly 120,000 deaths. jeff paul is live in los angeles. jeff. >> reporter: arthel, the number of deaths and hospitalizations overall in the u.s. is down but the number of new cases is now going back up in some 27 states. some of the highest spikes coming in states like arizona and florida. newly released figures show florida added nearly 3500 cases today. that's four consecutive days of at least 3,000 new cases. from one week ago to today, the sunshine state saw the biggest spike in a seven-day period since the start of the pandemic. governor ron de santis previously had referenced increased testing as a driving force in the numbers spiking. but he's changing his tune

somewhat, saying a lot of younger people aren't social distancing. >> we're also seeing that not only are they testing positive because of their testing more, they're also testing positive at a higher rate, increasingly over the last week. but in terms of spread and in terms of some of the vulnerable populations, eventually seeping in there, certainly a cause for concern. >> reporter: one of those other states seeing a surge in numbers, arizona. since saturday, cases went up by 2,592, more than 5% increase. several cities in arizona like phoenix, scottsdale and tucson are mandating masks be worn and president trump will be there on tuesday for a rally. congressman andy biggs was asked on fox news about the situation unfolding in his state. >> i'm not overly concerned with a second wave because -- i will say this. if we go to a lockdown because people are concerned about a second wave, what's going to

happen is you're going to see the other public health issues that we've seen soar are going to skyrocket again, and i'm talking everything from suicides to people not getting their chemotherapy to people not getting cancers detected and start treatment of that, brain surgeries were on hold. >> reporter: in regard to the president's visit, republican governor doug doocy isn't going to prevent trump from coming on tuesday, saying these are voluntary events and people will voluntarily make the decision, referencing people's rights to assemble in an election year. eric, arthel. arthel: jeff paul, thank you. >> now what we've seen basically concurrent with the rise of the cases has been a decline in the median age of the people who are testing positive so you look at a place like broward, the median age is 32, meaning half of the identified cases were 31 and under.

eric: that's florida governor ron de santis of course on the emerging demographic shift in the coronavirus pandemic. the cases as he said aren't areg younger, as the country continues to face reopenings. people in 20s and 30s are accounting for a larger share of the new infections. why and what can we do about it? the emergency physician and medical director at the odessa fire rescue, also a chief medical officer. doctor, thank you for your service and for what you do. >> thank you, eric. happy father's day. eric: happy father's day, of course. this is really concerning. i mean, when ron de santis is saying the numbers are getting younger, you combine the beach and the bar and that's how you get more cases with younger people? >> that's part of it. i think what i'm seeing here in the emergency room is that as societies are opening up, one person may test positive and

then all 60 people or hundreds of people from the company come to be tested and of them, a few of them test positive and some of them may have a scratchy throat or not feel that well. some of them are just shocked, they're like i tested positive, i condition believe it. so yes, the numbers are increasing but we have to look at the whole picture, how sick are they, and what else is going on. i mean, also in the emergency room, i'm seeing as the prior guest mentioned, i'm seeing increased mental -- suicidal, homicidal ideation, people who have heart attacks not coming in, the er is open to anyone, anywhere, anytime. we separate you from the covid patients. and we're seeing a lot of abuse unfortunately and violence, a lot of pent-up violence in the nation. we don't want the cure to be

worse than the disease. we have to make a decision together in this society. eric: do you think because there are so many warnings, especially for the people over 65, with pre-existing conditions, now that companies and businesses and shops and stores are reopening that you're going to get a younger skew, that people may think i'm invincible, that the coronavirus is over, when it's not, and people could be misguided? >> that may be. i think as we open up, younger people are the ones who will go out, older people hopefully are taking more precautions and we are seeing the highest mortality in the nursing homes and people with co-morbid conditions there. so i think we can have the best of both worlds. if we protect the people who are the most vol i vulnerable and ae younger people -- we keep a close eye on it, vigilant watch and our er doors are ready for

them if they need oxygen or a ventilator. i'm hoping most of the people will just feel lousy for a few days and get better. eric: you know, i know you hope that that's the case, that when you're younger you can deal with it better. some people can't. let's take a look at some of the statistics in florida. in broward, the median average in broward is 32 years old. it keeps on going down. hillsborough is 30. duvall, orange, 29. seminole is 27. mississippi, 162ole misstudents came down with coronavirus because of frat parties and rush. a large number of the cases are related to rush parties. in your state, in texas, more young people are testing positive, a 27-year-old bouncer from the grasshopper club on the west side is on a ventilator,

the bar's owner said the virus is spreading like wildfire. so what is your advice to those young people or younger people -- this is 49 and under -- when it comes to the coronavirus, especially if you're going back to work? >> if you look at prior pandemics, from the plague, how that went away with different -- was different from small pox where there was a vaccine, which was different from the 1918 flu. what we need to do today is just weigh our risks and benefits and think of it more than we normally would. everything we do is a risk, whether we drive to work, we get in an accident, or we choose not to get the flu vaccine and we put ourselves and others at risk. if you choose to go do something, weigh the benefits, is it a frat party, is it the beach or is it something

crucial, to put food on the table for your family, is it helping your mental health and weigh the risks and we have to make a calculated decision and realize it's not just our personal decision, it's the others out there, essentially the elderly and those that are vulnerable. we need to look after each others right now. eric: that is definitely -- wearing the mask, washing hands, social distancing, if there's a party, you don't have to go. seriously, you're protecting yourself and everyone else. doctor, from odessa, texas. thank you. arthel. >> thank you. arthel: and eric, as you were just speaking with the doctor about, the coronavirus cases in texas they're on the rise so city leaders are making their own decisions believe it or not on whether face masks should be mandatory. we're going to speak with two mayors about the approach they're taking and why. that's coming up next.

looks like they picked the wrong getaway driver. they're going to be paying for this for a long time. they will, but with accident forgiveness allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident, even if it's your fault. cut! sonny. was that good? line! the desert never lies. isn't that what i said? no you were talking about allstate and insurance. i just... when i... let's try again. everybody back to one. accident forgiveness from allstate. click or call for a quote today. to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't.

>> as summer has come, as the early months of the coronavirus have now gone behind us, some people think, well, the covid-19 disease has left the state. people need to understand that until we have medicines that are capable of treating covid-19, it is still in texas, it is still in mexico, it is still across the united states of america and across the entire world. arthel: a stern warning from texas governor greg abbott, the covid crisis there is far from over. texas is one of several southern states reporting a sharp rise in new infections after reopening, particularly among of younger adults and the republican mayors of two of the biggest cities in texas have different views on people wearing masks in public to stop the spread. joining us now mayor betsy price of fort worth and mayor dee

margo of el paso. i want to thank you both mayors for joining us. mayor price, i'm going to begin with you. there's an op ed in the fort worth telegram entitled hey, fort worth, put on a mask. so especially with positive coronavirus cases on the rise in many states including texas, why won't you, mayor price, implement a mask mandate? and how are you protecting the people of fort worth? >> the article in the startle gram is about -- star telegram is about wearing a mask. at the end of the article it says it is a personal responsibility and people need to comply. we wrote a letter to the governor, asking about local control specifically so each region can pick up what they need for their city and their county. we are encouraging everyone to wear a mask, strongly recommending it. we're starting a mask-up

campaign that our physicians are going to help us do. there's a lot of research being done that shows mandatory mask compliance is not much better than if you don't mandate it and it's really hard on small businesses. so we started personal protection equipment distribution for all our small businesses so there's no excuse for them not to be wearing masks and asking their patrons to wear masks. we believe it's more of a personal responsibility issue and most people are responding pretty well. arthel: and you said you mentioned that there are tools that you want to pass out to -- necessary to respond to covid-19 as the number of cases there increase. what kind of tools are you talking about and where would these tools come from? i mean, who would provide them? >> part of what we've seen is people just have significant quarantine fatigue and they want to be out so they have to be reminded. you still have to social distance. you still have to practice good hygiene.

we're reminding them to wear masks. the tools we're talking about for our small businesses, we are using part of our cares dollars and we are giving them masks, thermometers, hand sanitizers, whatever they need so when their patrons come in if they don't have a mask they can ask them to do that but to enforce the mandatory part would put another burden on our businesses who are struggling so much and it would put a burden on our code enforcement and law enforcement officers to enforce. so we feel like it's a personal responsibility is how we're going here. at least for the time being. but to have that flexibility is a tool we wanted in our toolbox. arthel: okay. let me bring in mayor margo of el paso. you're also a republican mayor. where coul do you stand on wearg masks, masks, social distancing and self discipline of the citizens to do all of the above? >> well, betsy and i are pretty

much in concert on the need for wearing masks. we just made the determination that we needed to encourage it and the way to encourage it is of to follow what the governor said was available to us and that was to require all businesses to mandate that not only their employees have to wear a mask but that the customers and patrons of those businesses would be required to. i was getting calls from businesses saying that they were very concerned about people who would not wear face coverings in their places of business and it was making other customers uncomfortable. they didn't know what to do about it. betsy and i were part of the nine mayors who signed a letter to the governor requesting his support there. he came back and said you have the tools, she referred to them, but have you to mandate it separately through the employer. and on saturday, el paso had 162 new positive cases.

47% were 20 to 30-year-olds. we're fearful they're letting their guard down. today we got 148 new cases, we had 120 deaths, we have 102 102 hospitalized but they're down six. we had no change in our icus. we had 19 on ventilators. they're down one. my biggest concern is people aren't abiding by that even though we know that the only thing that protects the spread of this pandemic is face coverings, which medical experts agree on, it's face coverings, social distancing and washing your hands frequently. arthel: mayor, i've got 20 seconds, mayor margo, i'm going to finish with you since i started with mayor price. you pointed out the coronavirus is still very much alive and active. would you prefer governor abbott to make a state-wide mandate to require businesses to require patrons to wear masks, require citizens to wear masks?

that way there's not a lot of confusion, kind of a yes yes oro answer for me, sir. i'm up against the clock. >> for the most part that was the purpose of the letter, asking for support. there's a study i read yesterday that talked about face coverings are critical. and i don't think it's an onerous burden to wear a face covering. we chose to follow san antonio, dallas, houston in mandating with our employers. arthel: good luck to both of you, mayor betty price of fort worth and dee marco of el paso. thank you very much for your time. we have to of stick together to make this work and stop the spread of the horrible virus. >> and wear a mask. >> absolutely. arthel: i'm with you. i've got mine right here. i keep it all the time. eric: arthel, thank you. here in new york, powerful federal prosecutor has resigned after that tense standoff with attorney general barr. straight ahead we'll tell you about the fallout from geoffrey

>> that's all up to the attorney general, all barr is working on that. that's his department, not my department. but we have a very capable attorney general. so that's really up to him. i'm not involved. >> i think the most disastrous management of the justice department in modern memory and like so much of what we have seen in this add medicine vacation, it doesn't -- administration it doesn't come as a surprise anymore. eric: that's the president saying he had nothing to do it while adam schiff slams the rieu removal of geoffrey berman. the attorney general said the president did fire berman. you heard the president say

that's not so. critics are saying it's a political maneuver to help the president since berman has been conducting investigations of trump allies and others. supporters say it's another personnel change that the president has the right to do it. alex little, criminal defense attorney, former assistant attorney, welcome. alex, let me start with you. berman's ouster, sinister or do you think it's on the up and up? >> i think there's no real good evidence that it's not sinister. i mean, this is not the sort of thing that happens when you have a prominent u.s. attorney and a very prominent post. there's been no complaints from the attorney general about his performance. the office has been doing cases that have been very successful. so to do this five months before an election is very irregular. i think the fact they have prosecuted so many of trump's associates does raise the spectrum this was not a legitimate move. eric: michael, you have been a

u.s. attorney and look what berman's been investigating, michael cohen, reportedly rudy giuliani, campaign finance, leave parness, a turkish bank. that cuts really close to the president. what's your view? >> well, i mean there's really nothing that is particularly unusual about a president coming in and changing out the united states attorneys but the timing of this is suspect. and you take it when you look at it in the context of what's gone on with the administration, then you do become a little more suspicious of it all. you've got the united states attorney in what's probably the little doj if you will, out of the southern districts of new york, the place where his family is from, where his businesses are and he's coming in and firing him through this clumsy maneuver by having the ag go up and try to talk him into switching jobs. that doesn't make sense. it just doesn't pass the sniff

test. you know, a president has the right to fire u.s. attorneys. we see it at the beginning of every administration typically. but a president -- let me kind of give you a comparison. a president also has a right to pardon. if he came in and pardoned all his donors or pardoned someone that gave him $200,000 to his campaign, everybody starts to say well, what's going on are they buying a pardon, this is wrong, why is he doing that. when you look at this, look at the investigations, looking at the timing, look at the timing of the bolton book coming out, look at the pressure the president and his friends have been under and specific investigations related to friends in new york, have you to take a step back and realize that sort of the reveered independence of the justice department is being attacked. and that's a long reveered policy of separation from the white house of these investigations. eric: but then again, alex, let me raise this. apparently jay clayton is the

current s.e.c. chairman, a new yorker, wants to come back to new york after three years. he plays golf with the president last week, he said i would like to get back to new york. so the president says i'll give you berman's job. barr meets berman on friday, we want you to resign and he goes no. and it could be simply the president wanting to get his friend a job versus something else. >> it's not as if mr. clayton didn't have a good job already. he's the head of the securities and exchange commission. and if that was really what was happening here, i don't think the attorney general would have lied about it. he put out a press release saying one thing was true. we found out when the attorney general said it wasn't true -- when the u.s. attorney said it wasn't true there was something happening behind closed doors. i think what's the real canary in the coal mine is the real concern from berman that his independence, the office's independence is being questioned. each of his statements he talks about the importance of keeping prosecutions fair-minded and i

think the fact that he was willing only to resign when his deputy who is a long-time career prosecutor was allowed to run the office says volumes. there's certainly concerns in new york about the president interfering. that should tell the rest of us there's a reason for that sort of belief. eric: it's ironic, michael, that this is the position that rudy giuliani held. i covered him as u.s. attorney before he was elected as mayor. it is considered the preeminent u.s. attorney's office in the nation. berman may or could be called to testify perhaps on wednesday in front of the house judiciary. what do you think will come out of this, michael? what type of -- what do you think he'll testify about? what are the questions that you want to be asked about how this whole thing unfolded? >> i think he'll likely testify about the continuity of ongoing investigations and the importance of that and so when this -- there's a normal chain of command, a normal line and that is to take the first assistant united states attorney

and they become the acting attorney on the departure of the u.s. attorney. that was part of the clumsy process that was monkeyed with when you had the ag saying he was resigning when he had not said he was going to resign. i think they'll want to talk through that, the continuity of the process. the other thing, i think probably the people on both sides of the aisle need to remember that the pendulum always swings and the democrats have sort of caught hell for this in the senate when they did away or they start talking about the nuclear option things and the pendulum always swings and somebody else controls the majority. can you imagine what would happen if bill clinton had been under investigation and fired the u.s. attorney in arkansas or barack obama had been under investigation and fired the u.s. attorney in chicago. it would have been an uproar about the propriety of it and the impropriety of it. here, i think it just needs to come out that this is not respecting the way that we have public confidence in investigations and in the justice department and that's

ultimately what the people of the country deserve and i think what they want. eric: alex, 20 seconds. chuck schumer is calling it the friday night massacre, a reference to president nixon's asaturday night massacre. >> i think we'll learn whether or not that's true if there's indictments and investigations of for example president trump's family, if giuliani is indicted. we'll learn more about what's motivating this and it could go down in history as a friday night massacre. eric: well, okay. we'll see. we'll be covering it this week here in new york. michael moore and alex little, thank you both and thank you for your service to the government. >> thank you. eric: and we'll be right back with a lot more news here on the fox news channel. stay with us. - i'm jeff anderson.

>> reporter: that all changed back in march. missouri governor mike parsons signed an executive order allowing bars and restaurants to serve alcohol to-go. >> that's when we saw our business start picking up. we started getting a lot more -- >> reporter: the temporary order was meant to help businesses cut their losses and to stop the spread of the crust. nocoronavirus.some states are cg making to-go drinks permanent. >> it's a great way for them to continue to get revenue while we all have to kind of distance ourselves and aren't able to come into the restaurant. >> reporter: missouri is one of more than 30 states currently allowing to-go alcohol sales. critics argue mixing alcohol with take-out is a recipe for disaster. a statement from mothers against drunk driving says a permanent change to allow curbside alcohol sales would violate open container laws and lead to an increase in drunk driving. but the national restaurant association says permanent

alcohol to-go sales could help restaurants survive during the health crisis. >> being able to offer these new products like off-premise sales of alcohol represents up to 10% of their revenue right now. and for an industry that's on the ropes working with capacity restrictions, that's absolutely critical. >> reporter: temporary orders will remain in effect here in missouri until the end of the year. state leaders will decide next year whether to make to-go alcoholic drinks permanent. in kansas city, missouri, minni hicks, fox news. eric: happy father's day to all you dads out there. for arthel and myself, take care. ♪
