3:00 am
brown lie down. if it's black fight back. rob: i would love to see you live by those words. rob: we got to go. see you later. jillian: bye-bye. >> i got a 12 gauge shotgun for me and the rest of my peaceful people to protect us and also me. the police aren't allowed here. because they are not here to protect us. >> okay. straight to a fox news alert on this wednesday. overnight, armed protesters took over the area around that wendy's in atlanta where rayshard brooks was shot and killed by police. brian. brian: starting to think this is a trend. in wisconsin, a state democratic senator attacked while recording protesters near the state's capitol building. watch. >> give me my phone. >> he says he may have a concussion after 10 people piled
3:01 am
on, punching and kicking him. he got hit in the head, got hit in the neck. kicked in the ribs. >> and more unrest in our nation's capital as protesters burned american flag. the group cheering as old glory goes up in flames. steve: look at that man o man. good morning. and that's what's going on across the country right now. there is just a feeling in this country that things are a little off the rails, right? well, we have heard from the president of the united states. he has made it very clear this kind of stuff will not be allowed. then you see that this state lawmaker in wisconsin, tim carpenter was attacked protesters. protesters one thing but then for them to attack the guy and where were the police in the g.o.p. assembly speaker in wisconsin robin advisors said this is absolutely despicable. i'm saddened the officials to deal with these thugs.
3:02 am
where is the -- and the question goes on. where is the democratic governor tony evers? why didn't he stop the destruction of the statue? there was state property broken and all sorts of that stuff people are going wait a minute, what is happening in america? carley: lady and protesters run straight up to camera. they are mad at him for bringing out their camera. yet they are all are on camera. we are seeing that this morning. five or six punches. kicked in the head maybe a concussion, brian. brian: remember that workers' compensation when we came in and this guy was hit? no. it's everyday. whether you are trying to take over lafayette park. well now you are trying to take over a wendy's in atlanta. now you are squatting in seattle. bullets flying everywhere. you go ahead and dispirit and defund gradually, perhaps, law enforcement and you wonder why
3:03 am
they are not there? here is bernie kerik on what's going on with many of these democratic mayor's and governors. i'm actually surrounded by 150 to 200 atlanta police officers. who have told me personally demoralized. they are not supported by the mayor. who wants to go to work in a place where they are not supported by the mayor, by the city council. this is what is happening in baltimore, in chicago, in new york city. you have mayors, governors, that's not supporting the men and women. and you have lawlessness in the street. it's only going to continue and it's going to get worse. where is it going to get worse? in the hardest hit communities. ainsley: i was watching that last night. unbelievable. i couldn't sleep last night. i'm watching sean's show late and i watch bernie kerik and he
3:04 am
says i'm surrounded by 150, 200 police officers. and then you hear them cheering. and then at the end or when sean went back to him later in the show. they all surrounded him and were saying thank you so much for supporting us. thank you so much to those americans that still believe and sean said, you know, bernie tell them. we know there can be one or two bad apples in the group, overall you are amazing individuals and we support police. steve: they have got to feel like somebody has got their back because in so many communities it seems that the leadership simply does not. meanwhile, let's talk little bit about and brian mentioned, you know, the protesters who tried to destroy the jackson memorial or statue across the street from the white house a couple of nights ago. well, there is in washington -- and there it is right there. in washington in the street between the u.s. capitol is the emancipation statue. and protesters were around there
3:05 am
yesterday and they said -- there it is right there. it shows abraham lincoln standing over a freed slave. it was commemorated in 1876, 11 years after lincoln was killed. that statue has had history of people not liking the fact that lincoln is standing and the man below him is kneeling. so the protesters there yesterday made it very clear, we are not going to take this down today. we're coming back thursday and we are going to pull it down. in the meantime, the representative in congress for d rks eleanor holmes norton, wants the statue removed and moved to a museum. and so what she is doing is going to introduce legislation because it is on national park service land to see if it can be moved without an act of congress. if you a statue moved that's how you do it. you talk about it, you take a vote, you move it.
3:06 am
you don't do it by destroying something that is against the law, brian. brian: as opposed to the way they are. first graffiti sprayed over and grab a rope and chain and pull it down and burn it and cheer while everyone uses their iphone and tapes it and posts it. i'm not too complorstable with that i'm also no, ma'am row too comfortable trying to trump, pun intended with frederick douglass one of the famous man on the globe known for what he was able to overcome escaping slavery and writing on brutality of slavery and leading lincoln, in many ways, to sign, write, sign and implement the emancipation proclamation at which time when ulysses s. grant has time to dedicate a statue he calls 1-800-frederick douglass. together, knowing that that design and that statue was financed by freed slaves, he
3:07 am
dedicated and gave a speech in which he didn't white wash, pun not intended, our past. he knew that lincoln gradually grew into writing the emancipation proclamation and backing it. he knew lincoln at first said if you guys stay in place you can keep your slaves, don't defect. in the end, frederick douglass and lincoln ended up being great friends and together they freed millions of people so he dedicated that statue. but it looks like people are intent of rewriting history and know more about race relations than frederick douglass. steve: the dialogue in d.c. right now says while freed slaves paid for it they had no input into it. just the imagery of lincoln standing and the free you had slave, you know, kneeling down below him, racial undertones and they don't like it. ainsley: the president was talking about this yesterday. and he explained what he thinks the problem is. listen to this. >> the left wing mob is trying
3:08 am
to demolish our heritage so they can replace it with a new repressive regime that they alone control. they are tearing down statues, desecrating monuments and purging descenters. the left is not trying to promote justice or equality or lift up the down trodden. they have one goal, the pursuit of their own political power. if you give power to people that demolish monuments and attack churches and seize city streets destroy city buildings then nothing is sacred and no one is safe. ainsley: protesters were painting "defund the police." that graffiti has been removed. the president -- they are calling for the black house autonomous zone. they were spray painting that on the church across the street from the white house. the president said because they're all calling now they want an awmtion in d.c.
3:09 am
he tweeted this out there will never be an autonomous zone in washington, d.c. as long as i'm your president. if they try, they will be met with serious force. brian: guess what? in n. comes twitter it's threatening. it wendt against their sensibility. this is getting out of hand. this tweet violated twitter rules about abusive behavior. twitter has determined it may be in the best public interest for the tweet to remain accessible. so, twitter is upset that the president is condemning. ainsley: second time they have done. this. brian: unbelievable. steve: as people look in at what is happening all across the country, there are millions of americans who are just horrified at what's happening. and as we talked about a little bit five minutes ago there are so many mayors and who are sigh length at this point. the loudest voice about this is donald trump. do you know what this ultimately does? it fires up his base. when he says i'm a law and order
3:10 am
president, i'm not going to allow this to happen, people are going, okay. where are the other people? it looks like he is the only guy standing between me and anarchy. brian: where are democrats? i don't understand why democrats and republicans can't get behind saving our history. unbelievable. actually aonly a handful of republicans. tom cotton out there every day. senator lee out there on a regular basis. for the most part, people are like oh, that's too bad about our history. where are you? steve: i think the problem for these democrat mayors and governors they allow the protest to start. and then they devolve into chaos and in some cases violence and then it is just hard to stop it once it's started and that's where they are governor cuomo has. the one he loves is the columbus statue. can't touch that one. the rest of the stuff is good
quote
3:11 am
for america. steve harrigan was guy. 12 gauge shotgun standing there holding it while he is talking to steve harrigan. he says we don't want the police in this area. steve: talking about renaming columbus, ohio. going to rename rhode island and take plantation out of the longer name. they are talking about renaming columbus after guy flavor town. brian: definitely make. steve: guy is quite a cook. ainsley: very interesting times. live look on capitol hill lawmakers will hold a test vote to start debate on the g.o.p. police reform bill. griff jenkins joins us live in washingtons the democrats are already vowing they are going to block this measure, right, griff? griff: this all started with anger in the streets. nationwide protests.
3:12 am
police reform appears over before it even starts in the senate. >> american people expect us to do our jobs. discuss, debate and legislate that has captured the nation's attention. >> it's clear the republican bill as is will not get 60 votes. the republican bill does not even fully prevent the kind of tactics that sparked this whole debate in the first place. >> democrats expected to block the bill from even coming to the floor later this morning. 53 republicans in the senate. mcconnell needs at least 7 democrats to cross over to start debate on the g.o.p. justice act. its author senator tim scott says it's in the democrats' hands now. >> this is about louisville, kentucky. this is about north charms stolen. this is about minneapolis. if our friends on the other side want to figure out a path forward for those places and those citizens, let's get there. this doesn't finish until they say it's over. if they won't even start it,
3:13 am
that tells me that this is already over senator kamala harris blames obstruction on mitch mcconnell. >> the majority leader would have us play political games with the hopes, the dreams and the demands of the american people. this is yet again an obstructionist tactic that is meant to distract us. >> second point to the stalemate are full band on chokeholds and no knock warrants qualified immunity. republicans call that a nonstarter. meanwhile, speaker pelosi who is accusing now republicans of, quote, trying to get away with murder on police reform says the house expects to pass their bill later this week. so it looks like we are going to have nothing but inaction in the senate. we will see what comes later this morning. brian, ainsley, steve. steve: it is going to be a long summer. griff, thank you very much. brian: unbelievable. steve: 6:13 here in new york
3:14 am
city. currently in this building on the mezzanine level, there is jillian with the headlines. good morning to you. jillian: good morning from one floor up. let's start your headlines with this story we are following. a louisville detective is officially fired for his role in the shooting death of brianna taylor. bret hankenson violated policy on deadly force by blindly firing 10 rounds into her apartment. he has 10 days to appeal. taylor was shot and killed by officers inside her apartment during a raid in march. her boyfriend shot at police after mistaking them for robbers. first hate crime bill passed in georgia in the wake of are a ahmad's death. it requires law enforcement agencies to report hate crime incident to georgia's bureau of investigation. the bill was passed by the state house last year but gained attention after are a bury was shot and killed on a georgia road in february. three men charged in his murder.

it looks like the temperature checks twice a day and covid testing every other day. brian: it's going to be interesting. no one seems to be happy about the number of games the players seem to be forced into it. and there is no sign that fans will be able to go. ainsley: what did you say like a third of their salary? jillian: prorated. i'm curious to see ratings though. i feel like they have lost a lot of people. that's what it seems anyway. steve: it looked like on that great big list they just put up, it said spitting is not allowed. in baseball? jillian: yep. steve: let's see about that. ainsley: spitting was allowed? steve: it was in the olden days. brian: president obama going to after president trump during a fundraiser for joe biden. >> the shambolic, disorganized, mean-spirited approach to governance that we have seen over the last couple of years.
3:17 am
it? >> david webb says they are why the country voted for president trump to begin with.
3:18 am
3:19 am
3:20 am
3:21 am
>> not only are they fed up with the sham bolic, disorganized, mean spirited approach to governance, but, more than that, are eager to take on some of the core challenges that have been facing this country for centuries. there is nobody that i trust more to be able to heal this country and get it back on track than my dear friend joe biden. steve: there have you got former president barack obama ripping into president trump in his
3:22 am
first 2020 campaign appearance alongside joe biden virtually. here to react fox news contributor david webb. david, good morning to you. i don't think barack obama likes donald trump. >> yeah. i'm going to guess that after all donald trump did reverse some of barack obama's greatest mistakes he ever made in america and for america in policy and economics. all the things he has done regarding immigration, consent decrees, those cities around the america when eric holder and loretta wrench forced them into things they could not comply with obama is what he has always been. go back to his days in the senate, the state senate in illinois. is he a smug political liar who now wants us to go back to, you know from, biden and obama to biden and the black woman the sequel because biden has to pick a black woman. good at selling to one segment
3:23 am
in america. how good are they at choosing what is right for america. america made a different choice. we wanted donald trump to be the president. we seen the economic growth. we have seen this country get back on strong footing. under assault from a virus. under assault from a leftist. this is barack obama saying hey, guys, do you know what? biden has been there for 50 years or close to it, let's go back to him. steve: you know, david, if people have forgotten the reason that barack obama chose joe biden was because barack obama had little leadership experience and had no foreign policy experience jontd given his decades in the senate and whatnot, he had a lot of it. that's how joe biden got the nod ultimately. and did i not watch the event, so i'm hoping you know the answer to this. when joe and barack obama were together last night. did they talk about the violence sweeping this country and how the rule of law should be
3:24 am
respected? if you want to protest, protest, but don't break the law. did they talk about that? >> not in real terms. you know, they talk about protesting and the american right. they didn't talk about the rule of law. they didn't talk about our culture, what's needed. by the way, let me just say something, joe biden has been on the wrong side of just about every major foreign policy decision that's been a success for this country including going against how president reagan dealt with the soviet union. so since he has been in washington, d.c., he has been wrong for america. barack obama's foreign policy successes included no bell peace prize for a speech. the non-treaty. joint deal with iran, the jcpoa. what are their real accomplishments? steve, they have failed america. now we are supposed to be told that joe biden who has failed america, been wrong for america is going to be the right man for america but only if he chooses a black woman. come on, are we going to believe
3:25 am
biden in his basement or are we going to trust the works in america for hundreds of years where we have evolved into the country that still has challenges but will be a more perfect union if we keep going forward, not sliding backwards. >> i understand 120,000 people were on the line to w567 that last night where joe biden was sharing the split screen with barack obama. fast forward to the end of summer we will see joe biden in a split screen with donald trump. where it's just joe and just don, what will that be like. >> i'm looking forward. folks get your popcorn out who is joe biden who can no longer mumble and jumble his way through a bad interview where he is no longer asked tough questions face donald trump on the main stage. here is where donald trump can point out not just what biden has been and how he is wrong for
3:26 am
america president must talk about the vision and future of this country. look forward to a country where law and order and civil society not law and disorder are those things that governor govern us, trump is not trying to limit your freedoms. do it under the constitution. it's the hard core left that are canceling everything, having curfew hours in chop and saying we can burn it if we don't like it. let's not let justice play out. this is ridiculous. steve: david webb, thank you for joining us on this wednesday. >> good to see you, steve. steve: straight ahead, yesterday was an election day and congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez won her primary here in new york. while 16 term congressman eliot engel is on the edge of loading to progressive challenger. a sign of a civil war brewing in the democratic party. we'll be right back.

3:34 am
from chuck schumer and hillary clinton and nancy pelosi. he is the old guy he is being trownsed by a socialist. you are seeing this inside the democratic party. that's why we are having the mayhem we are seeing on the streets. this convulsion that is going on on the democratic side of politics where there is a hostile takeover by the radical left, by the socialist of the old guard and the only solution that the establishment has is to appease the left, and that's what they have been doing whether it's on issues like defunding the police, no borders. issues that they know are electorally unpalatable but they think that the only way they can hang on to power is timly appease these insurgents. it's going to crush them.
3:35 am
brian brian he can say defund the police of mayor of okay land does and black lives matter does and are doing it in new york and did do it in it will los angeles and about to do it in minneapolis. talk about inappropriate. john hence son who used to host talk soup now on the food network put this tweet out on father's day. i hope barron gets to spend today with whoever his dad is. right away, inappropriate, a 14-year-old kid, please tell me the last time they went after president obama's children, thankfully the answer is no, they didn't. or president bush's twins when they were teens. no, they didn't. stephanie grisham, melania's spokesperson said this to the daily caller, sadly we continue to see inappropriate and insensitive comments about the president's son as with every other administration a minor child should be off limits and allowed to grow one no judgment or hate from strangers and the media. is it asking too much to do what stephanie grisham requested?
3:36 am
>> well, of course it isn't. it's utterly despicable that a food network host would use father's day to target a child. a 14-year-old boy. no choice who his family is you may hate president trump, but don't attack his child. his teenage son. and, of course, we have see a pattern of this. and the first lady is famously very protective of barron trump. we saw last year when a law professor testifying at one of the impeachment hearings went after barron trump, making fun of his name. now she ended up having to apologize because she was embarrassed. but it is disgusting. brian: the fact that he is a comedian, does that give him cover? >> well, is he a food network host. and, you know, no one is going to put him in jail for making a really nasty joke, but he should be ashamed of himself for

3:43 am
areas if students wanted to be socially distanced they could do that energy and spirit off the chart. president gave speech communicating directly to the next generation. and he was in incredible form and it was an honor to be able to host him in arizona. steve: charlie, you liked it because at one point he mentioned you. here is the president talking about students and radical schools. and you. >> the radical left demands absolute conformity from every professor, researcher, reporter, journalist, corporation, entertainer, politician, campus speaker and private citizen. but we have charlie and we'll have our people and our people are stronger. you are the courageous warrior standing in the way of what they want to do and their goals and standing up for faith and family, god, country and freedom. freedom. [cheers and applause] >> so there the president did mention you.
3:44 am
with those young people in attendance, charlie, you know this, people of that age are largely, if they're politically active, they lean to the left. so, you know, what was it they took away from donald trump that they have not heard from other people in the last couple of months because there is so much going on in this country regarding the unrest. >> what i think was so important yesterday is president trump talked about core personal values. e pluribus unam in which means out of many one. he repeatedly mentioned in god we trust. one nation under god. wen forcing cultural history. he reinforced young people being attacked on campus has a constitutional right to be able to speak. i want to say i have spoke on many, many college campuses the last couple of years and we talked about it. a lot of those controversies, the president has had our back
3:45 am
by signing that executive order for fre free speech on college campuses. yesterday despite what he said i don't know if you will have the turnout. 3,000 young people in the middle of arizona heat and they waited 7, 8, 9 hours to hear the presiden the president's executive order on free speech on campuses. i really think there is something special happening with young people in america. in november we will see that play out. brian: real quick, charlie, the young people in america, the same age brackets are the same ones who are protesting and i will separate them, are rioting and separate again a looting in some cases. how do you explain the different perspectives in the same generation? >> well, look, i think there is still a lot of work to be done. no doubt. however, yesterday was something very special. the media is going to ignore it. you have 3,000 young people in one place supporting the president. i think that's worthy of a lot
3:46 am
of coverage. and a lot of, you know, is single young person subscribing to that same narrative that we saw in the streets? i will tell you, i think it's not as, let's say, it's not as vast or as far away as some people might think. yesterday i think really goes to show that the president's base is actually growing and growing stronger in defiance what the media might you have to believe. ainsley: thank you so much, charlie for being here. >> you bet, thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. hand it other to jillian at the mezzanine level. jillian: hate crime investigation is launched overnight into graffiti urging violence towards police and whites. the message is spray painted on buildings in pacifica, california quote kill cops and kill whites. can you see whites is misspelled. looking through surveillance video in the area. stolen ambulance through several counties.

>> i feel cautiously optimistic, congresswoman, that we will be successful in getting a vaccine. there is never a guarantee of that i still think there is a reasonably good chance that by the very beginning of 2021 that if we are going to have a vaccine that we will have it by then. ainsley: so members of the white house coronavirus task force testified on capitol hill yesterday and dr. anthony fauci offering insight and optimism on the administration's response. here with more on the big takeaways fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel. good morning, dr. siegel. >> good morning. how are you? ainsley: for me it was the fact that the vaccine is in the third stage or entering the third
3:54 am
stage of july. is that the final stage and what's the update on the vaccine? >> ainsley, that's right. i think that was absolutely optimistic on dr. fauci's part. he is talking about something about immunogeicity. there is three or four companies going into phase 3. what is phase 3? that's 30,000 volunteers being tested for each vaccine. 30,000 each. that's where the rubber meets the road, ainsley. that's where you see whether the vaccine actually protects you against the virus itself. but, dr. fauci is very optimistic about that. we have moderna, we have pfizer and johnson and johnson and oxford university vaccine. all four of those that i just mentioned are about to enter phase 3 trials if that works, by the end of the fall we should have a vaccine or two emerging. ainsley: that would be
3:55 am
wonderful. what else did you take away from yesterday? >> well, he also talked about the idea of building up more personal protective equipment in storage and more integration of computers and testing ability going forward. , we kind of wish we had had that looking backward. now, and dr. redfield emphasized this, too. and dr. hon of fda in the fall we will have the ability to test flu and covid-19 simultaneously so we can develop a strategy to test everyone that we need to and to separate out people who are sick. that is really important as we continue to reopen, ainsley. because what we need to do is cacoon the people at home who are most at risk. even as we monitor the reopening of things. and that's what -- that's the process and the progress that we are making. ainsley: yeah. did you see the rally on saturday, the president was joking about maybe we should just stop testing because we have had so many people that have had it in our country.
3:56 am
he told brian i was basically saying that just in guest, i didn't mean we should slow down the testing. so yesterday all four of those doctors were asked and they said they were never told by the trump administration to slow down or stop testing. thanks so much, dr. siegel for being with us. >> that's completely true, ainsley. there is no way that that happened. i couldn't -- that's one of those media hit jobs. it's not the case. the president was joking there. ainsley: thanks so much, dr. siegel. chaos in seattle. a third person is shot near the city's occupy zone. now the mayor wants to cut 20 million from the police.

4:00 am
in corporate america. the message to you: don't trade because you think you're gonna get rich quick. because you think... >> i got a 12 gauge shotgun. it's for me and the rest of my people people to protect us and also me. the police aren't allowed here because they are not here to protect us. brian: all right. straight to a fox news alert overnight. armed protesters taking over the area near the atlanta wendy's where rayshard brooks was shot and killed by police. that wendy's burned. ainsley: in wisconsin, a state democratic senator look at this, is attacked just while recording protesters near the state's capitol building. watch this. leave my phone alone. >> delete it. >> carpenter says he might have had a concussion after all of that he was kicked and pushed
4:01 am
and all kinds of things after 10 people could we roll back did they plead guilty. >> oh, piled on punching him and kicking him in the neck and the ribs, steve. steve: i don't think they were arrested. so it would be hard for them to plead guilty at this point. ainsley: good point. where is the police and governor oon protesters burn an american flag. the group cheering as old glory goes up in flames. all right. welcome to the second second hour of "fox & friends." so many people said started in minneapolis. we want to dismantle the police. we want to defund the police it looks as if seeferttle is getting part of wish come true. seattle commission voted to cut $20 million from the police department budget for the second half of 2020.
4:02 am
keep in mind, given the global pandemic and there are all sorts of short falls in every community in america when it comes to tax money coming in it looks as if seattle is going to have 400,000 short fall in the long-term. so how are they going to make it up? they are going to cut $20 million from police. but, they are also cutting $10 million from the bus program. they are cutting $10 million from the park department as well. while it sounds like $20 million is a lot of money. it's only 5% of the budget and the protesters wanted 50% of the budget. brian: right. there is a very easy wait a minute hey, we are in the middle of the pandemic cutting the budget, you could do that and look into that and say okay, 5% for the police. you are making a statement by saying i'm cutting from the police budget and traditionally i did not know this ahead of time. but traditionally, when did you go to cut budgets from police, they cut it from training.
4:03 am
and what does everyone want? different, more nuanced training when it comes to police to deal with drug users or domestic situations or the psychology of making an arrest or dealing with would be criminals or suspects that is counter productive. who is paying for the precinct. that lawless zone went from 7 blocks to three blocks flat out lawless and death and destruction. a third shooting last night. ari hoffman a former seattle city council candidate warned if you think it's bad now, it's going to get worse. cut budget for $20 million what do they expect. chop existing, hundreds of thousands of calls to 911. they are diverting criminals who should be serving jail time into diversionary programs. these people are not showing up for their treatment or their
4:04 am
counseling or anything else that happened, so they go right back out onto the streets to reoffend again. right now we are already operating under this structure system is being copied across the country. brian: going to get worse. hearing this for the first time don't blame yourself maybe tuned off of fox. msnbc not really covering it. they realize how bad this is to the democratic message. not covering what the seven block turn three block autonomous zone is doing. it's lawlessness, supported in silence by democrats who will not condemn it but a very good at condemning police, ainsley what happened is the mayor came out and announced we are no longer going to have this police free zone. people are getting hurt and shot. that child i say child, that young 19-year-old was killed on saturday. another one was injured and then another one was shot on sunday and another one yesterday. when she said that at 7:00, cnn
4:05 am
and msnbc did not cover it. one particular thing. they covered some of it the fact that they have that zone. you bring up an excellent point, brian, counter intuitive they say we want to cut your budget but then they also say we want to pass police reform where we have more training for officers where we teach them accountability. we teach them to racial up justice. every officer that's interviewed says whether you have cuts, where do the cuts come from? they come from training. how are these officers going to get this new education and new training? it's an excellent point is that really the place you want to cut it. steve, you are saying the mayor did discuss in seattle did, discuss what it would look like. she says i want models to see what it would look like. prepare models if we cut 20%, or 30% or 50% like the protesters wanted from the police budget. she ended up opting with the 5%. but the most that was cut from
4:06 am
any department in that city was from the police department. steve: exactly. 5% every department in every city is being cut because of the pandemic. and the short fall as well. brian, to your earlier point. when -- and ainsley you mentioned this as well. when this became news that the mayor of seattle was phasing out the chop area or the chaz area, you know, that was big news. and the reason she had to do it was because of the shootings and because somebody was killed there she said enough is enough. but they hadn't covered it on the other channels. i mean, we have covered it, because we try to cover all the news. dan gaynor at the media research center said. this the press act like showing what's really going on during these riots, the hate against police, the violence, looting, arson and violence would all aid trump if the american public saw reality so they hide it. brian. brian: they want -- the democratic party wants to make
4:07 am
dissemination. joe biden and leadership james clyburn come out and saying we are not refunding the police. we are for reforming the police. we're not for this lawlessness, we are for law and order with reason. the problem is black lives matter is for defunding the police and also democratic -- these democratic mayors, liberal mayors are for autonomous zone. that seattle for it now we find out the mayor of oakland, which has its own crime problem prior to the pandemic planet or the same planet as other democrats on a facebook round table libby schaaf said this. >> we are excited as many cities are to reimagine public safety and that means not just to reform the police but to replace the police with more trauma informed and care based community led responses that really don't warrants a bang and
4:08 am
a gun. steve: yeah. so what they are doing out there is essentially she is saying not only reform the police but we place the police. brian: exactly. going to make sense. steve: going to replace police in saint paul's high schools. last night final vote 5 to 1. they voted to remove the police officers. the school resource officers through the police department at 7 of the high schools. they will come up with their own new safety plan. ainsley: why the schools? brian: school safety is paramount in america. taking the people that know about school safety out of the schools. steve: the thing is they have been working for years to try to reimagine the school resource officer. they no longer made arrests for petty crimes and didn't use handcuffs. ainsley: all the places to cut why the schools? they protect children. brian: in new york, too. steve: they are coming up with a
4:09 am
new plan. here's the thing. what they really october to is having armed officers in schools. and i don't know but, but the things we have seen over the last number of years where people go into schools and they have a gun and they kill people you want people inside a school to have a gun. really they want to get rid of the guns which are protecting our children. they have decided to do it in saint paul. i don't know that there are a lot of other communities across the country that are so bold in thinking, you know what? we don't need guns to protect our kids marches in the street. florida. sandy hook was not too long ago and big debate a short time ago was should we arm teachers who wants to be trained. now we are saying let's get the coming out of there, they are bad. now there is different programs
4:10 am
cops on theout skirts surge in school shooter. i did not know cops were the problems in school today. steve: they don't want guns. brian: they don't want cops and law enforcement. ainsley: listen to what one of the school board members said. allen our focus needs to be on student achievement. in order for all of our students to achieve they need to be free to trauma. tell that to the guy who comes in with a gun. brian: unbelievable. by the way they will be the first one say where are the cops. so parents better speak up now whether you are democrat or republican. this is what is going on. i have something else. maybe joe biden should speak up which brings us to president obama who yesterday i assume was on zoom or goolg hangout had a chance to do a virtual fundraiser for his running mate. he told everyone don't be over confident that we are going to beat donald trump also how bad
4:11 am
donald trump is here is telling thousand support joe biden. >> this is serious business, whatever we have done so far to get joe biden elected, we have to do more. we'll can't be complacent or smug or sense that somehow it's so obvious that this president hasn't done a good job because, look, he won once. love you, joe. >> love you too, pal. steve: donald trump already won once. and the former president said there is backlash to change. presumably talking about the protest that we are seeing on the street. and there are -- while you watch television and you see all this thing -- these things unfurling and happening all across the country, there are lot of people looking at it going where are the police? where are the leaders?
4:12 am
donald trump made it clear is he not going to stand for the statues taking down and lawlessness. what that does is energizes his base so many people what i think is a mistake? trump is saying it. david webb was with us just about an hour ago. weighed in on mr. biden and his plan to move us ahead in ameri america. >> come on believe biden in his basement or what works in miracle for hundreds of years evolve into the country that still has challenges but more perfect union if we keep going forward and not sliding backwards. america made a different choice. we wanted donald trump to be the president. we have seen the economic growth. we have seen this country get back on a strong footing. and now we are under assault from a virus. we are under assault from leftist. and this is barack obama saying hey, guys, you know what? biden has been there for 50 years or close to it.
4:13 am
let's go back to him. brian: right. and president obama did support joe biden. he says whatever did you is not enough. talked about the chaos. also warned everyone this thing is going to be close. important, too. that donald trump spoke about barack obama. why did he wait so long tone doors joe biden. it's a real friendship. i give u. that no one has to think it's al gore or bill clinton or late fracture between bush and cheney that's a real friendship. comments we heard about joe biden joe you don't have to do this because we saw what a terrible candidate joe biden was. the lack of energy and enthusiasm for his candidacy. this will be -- barack obama against donald trump. he will be doing almost all the appearances. they will drag him to the finish line. they have committed to three debates. steve: remember why barack obama chose joe biden. when when it looked like he was going to be the nominee. when he was the nominee,
4:14 am
essentially, he needed a vice president with some foreign policy experience and barack obama had none. he didn't have a job for the most part except he worked in the state legislature. needed somebody with it was joe biden who had been in foreign policy through the senate for decades. and so that's how joe got the job in a little more than a month find out who will get his job for vice president. he will announce a female in august, he said, so we are close to that close to the election, actually. 120,000 people watched that event between the two. and in the grassroots efforts, they have had 175,000 people you people cricket a total of $7.6 million they have raised. steve: big day for joe. ainsley: hand it over to jillian. she has headlines for us. jillian: we begin with this. nascar driver bubba wallace speaking out overnight. he says the rope found in his garage is a noose after the

4:23 am
i was very worried about where the police were. fortunately the police got there in time to stop it. it already was defaced on pedestal. there couldn't be a clear cut memorial preservation act. federal crime punishable by up to 10 years to defate or tear down or attempt to tear down a statue commemorating someone's military service on federal property. and these aren't exactly criminal master minds, brian. they videotape themselves and post it on social media. the department of justice and fbi should investigate them, arrest them and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law there has to be legal consequences for this kind of mob violence. otherwise, it's only going to get worse with every passing day. brian: you are saying enforce that law. you don't have to draft something new. >> absolutely. brian. that law is clearly applicable to the andrew jackson statue there are other federal laws like the riot act that might apply as well. what really needs to happen is local authorities which
4:24 am
typically have the main responsibility for protecting property both public and private. need to prosecute these criminals under their laws. but if they refuse to do so as they seem to be doing in some places like san francisco where the mob toppled a statue of u.s. grant the department of justice needs to take every possible legal action to prevent it from happening again. brian: governor cuomo doesn't agree with you. he finds this whole thing refreshing. he is the governor of new york. let's sit back and listen. >> i think it's a healthy expression of people saying let's get some priorities here and let's remember the sin and mistake that this nation made and let's not celebrate it. > brian: right. the sin of abraham lincoln. he has a lot to apologize for. >> it is extraordinarily unhealthy. nnsd n. a democratic society, governed by the rule of law which public officials look the other way and allow mob village langties to tear down statues or
4:25 am
to try destroy them. if cities and states want to have those debates. if they want to act in accordance with the rule of law, that's one thing, brian. but, it is extremely unhealthy in a society governed by the rule of law to allow the mob to prevail. brian: senator, is there a big picture to this? is it just about a statue? is it just about lincoln? is it just about grant? is it just about jefferson? what is the big -- what's the goal here? >> if you give the mob an inch, brian. it will take a mile. the under lining idea is these mob vigilantes hate america. whenever you are tearing down statues of washington and grant, it's not about the civil war. it's because you hate america. it's that simple. brian: right. it's a shame. because it always has been -- it has been a unifying thing. the other thing is why is it you and senator mike lee? where are the democrat?

4:33 am

5:01 am
he could have a concussion after protesters punched and kicked him in the head and neck. brian: more unrest of our nations capitol as protesters burn an american flag. the group cheering as old glory goes up in flames. and i don't know how the president of the united states feels about that meanwhile washington d.c. you have a delegate there pushing a bill to remove abraham lincoln's emancipation statue, which has been there since 1876. they say they're coming back tomorrow to take it down, since they couldn't get it down yesterday. so a couple of things about this you're taking down a statue that was dedicated by frederick douglas that was unveiled by uly sses s. grant and a tribute to freed slaves and it was by this american, ball, jerome ball, who sent four
5:02 am
pictures back, and one picture was shown and they said hey, do it over somebody and they picked this guy archer alexander and they went out of their way to show a slave represented a freedom, in charge of his own deliverance, so they wanted him breaking his own chains looking strong and depicting lincoln with him and working with him. that's why they went to 1876 to do it. frederick douglas felt good giving a historic speech. now in 2020 we want to make sure to take it down. steve: here is the thing, brian. that particular statue in lincoln park, in fact it used to be referred to as the lincoln memorial, before the big lincoln memorial opened in 1922. that particular statue absolutely paid for by former slaves but you know, the criticism is they had no say in how lincoln and the slave
5:03 am
were depicted and they have a problem with the symbolism because they are not shown as equal. lincoln is standing and the slaves -- brian: who has a problem? steve: those people in attendance right there. they don't like that particular, they don't have a problem with lincoln. they got the problem with that particular statue, and so that is why -- brian: let's spray paint it and rip it down. steve: well listen, eleanor holmes norton whose the representative for the district of columbia what she's going to do because it's on national parkland, she is going to try to introduce a bill so that it will not require an act of congress to take it down. she said look, let's take it down, move it to a museum, because times have changed and the symbolism is not good. that's the way you do it. you got a problem with the statue, you talk about it, in this case you go, you try to have a vote on it and then you move it. you don't take the law into your own hands, and vandalize property, and that is why people
5:04 am
are so upset about what's going on. i mean, look here in new york. you've got the teddy roosevelt statue that is being moved by the american history museum because just like that particular statue right there, they don't like the symbolism, because you've got teddy roosevelt. brian: whose they? steve: and he is standing and then an african americans and native americans who are not standing at equal height. he's on as you could see a horse brian: he was president. he was president of course he's higher. he rode a horse. i mean my goodness. everyone is just crazy. steve: brian the idea is if they are equal they be , you know how -- brian: but whose idea? we have to decide that we know more than these experts that lived in there, that the leader at what they did in their time. steve: brian, the problem is with those particular statues,
5:05 am
it's not with roosevelt, it's not with lincoln, it's just the symbolism. brian: there's a problem with every statue, a problem with grant and lincoln, there's a problem with washington, there's a problem with jackson. what do they have a problem they're coming for the statue of liberty mark my words. the dress is too long. ainsley: people are wondering where do you draw the line to your point, brian. what's next? then you go into museums and find out about the history of these artists and take down paintings from the museum up here. where do you draw the line? i heard yesterday they were trying to take down depictions of jesus that were white, so you know the president weighed in on this and said the left is trying to demolish our heritage to gain power, listen. president trump: the left wing mob is trying to demolish our heritage so they can replace it with a new repress ever regime that they alone control. they're tearing down statues, desecrating monuments and merging the centers and the left is not trying to promote justice
5:06 am
or ewall it or lift up the down-trodden. they have one goal, the pursuit of their own political power and if you give power to people that demolish monuments and attack churches, and seize city streets , and set fire to buildings, then nothing is sacred and no one is safe. steve: so there you've got the president yesterday at the turning point usa event out in arizona talking about what's going on. what we've seen over the last couple of weeks where there is people taking down these monuments that they have a problem with that has been destruction, there's been looting, there's been protesting , there's been all sorts of things, where are the president will say, the democratic mayor? you know, they gave somebody, they gave the protesters an inch they took a mile. why are they not condemning it? in fact that's one of the problems right now the mayor of washington d.c. is having because she has not shut down these protests that we have tent
5:07 am
encampments and things like that brian: she embraces them. steve: actually she closed them down yesterday but they came right back. the thing about the president though is he's saying i'm a law and order guy. i'm not going to stand for that and do you know what? as people look in that uenergizes his base. donald trump and andrew cuomo, the governor of new york, have different bases, and he sees what's going on with the statues as something good. watch. >> i think it's a healthy expression of people saying let's get some priorities here and let's remember the mistake that this nation made and let's not celebrate it. brian: right exactly. the sin of abraham lincoln and the sin not of christopher columbus. by the way, i'm all for leaving the statues up. governor cuomo, don't touch christopher columbus, he's italian but the other ones is a healthy show of expression but don't touch christopher columbus because we have that parade and
5:08 am
i'm italian and my dad was governor to have that double standard is unbelievable and to get away with this you should appreciate people for what they did they made an impact on their generation and era, and christopher columbus changed the world the way he acted when he got here is something different. those people that lived before us, that naive or selfish to put up statues where they just d uped in noting different times? senator tom cotton, he's fed up in fact he wants to end the mob violence. >> it is extraordinarily unhealthy in a democratic society governed by the rule of law when public officials look the other way and allow mob vigi lantes to tear down statues or to try to destroy them. if cities and states want to have those debates, if they want to act in accordance with the rule of law that's one thing , brian. but it is extremely unhealthy in a so see it governed by the rule of law to allow the mob to prevail. ainsley: okay, so let's talk about what's happening in
5:09 am
seattle. because you know these cities there's crazy things happening in all these cities and the seattle mayor let's just go through the timeline. so remember the mayor said she wants a summer of love? well the first day of summer, someone is shot in that chop zone on saturday. someone else was injured. on sunday and that person died, the person shot on saturday. sunday someone else is shot. yesterday, someone was shot. mayor comes out on monday and says do you know what? this might not have been a good idea. no more chop zone and now she's proposing to cut $20 million to the police budget. here is joey rodolfo, he owned a business and lived in seattle for 38 years his business is in that chop zone and he says he's out and leaving and setting up shop somewhere else in another state. >> since we have no leadership and we have a city council that's so socialist, there really is very very little support for businesses, as far as the city reaching out to small businesses like ourselves or any business, there's been
5:10 am
zero, in fact most of the attention has been focused on chop on making sure that people at chop are well taken care of but there's been absolutely no support, or no encouragement for us to reopen our stores. steve: and so that is why he's looking at arizona, perhaps to move himself. he also said and while the town council in seattle voted to chop 5% from the police department they are chopping every department of the shortfall thanks to coronavirus but at the same time he worries about taxes being jacked up and ainsley to your point when you were talking about how monday night the mayor finally said do you know what? enough is enough we're going to have to phase the chop zone out or chaz, however you refer to it, that was a big story because people had been talking about it , but on msnbc and cnn according to brian flood, who wrote at foxnews.com, they didn't cover that it was being
5:11 am
phased out. they mentioned "chop" at one point i think on cnn simply to mention that, you know, in washington d.c., they were establishing a similar occupied, what is the -- brian: autonomous zone. steve: thank you very much i was thinking occupy, wrong zone, in d.c., and so that's the only mention, and why is that? media research center dan gainer says the media downplays the threat of a virus at such massive events and did the same to the violence. the press is acting like showing what's really going on during these riots, hate against police , violence, looting, arson would all aid trump if americans saw reality so they fight it. brian: right trump has an event look out for the coronavirus. there's a mob violence, autonomous zone, there's chop. it never comes up it's amazing how that happens. can people possibly look out for the right to the business owners in that area? why is it always the rights of the lawless nature of whoever
5:12 am
exists and reigns in that territory? that blows me away. meanwhile jillian mele is up top with what's going on in the news jillian: that's right good morning let's start with a live look at capitol hill, wherein just a few hours, lawmakers will hold a test vote to start debate on the gop's police reform bill. a legislation appearing to be in jeopardy before even starting in the senate. >> the american people expect us to do our jobs, discuss, debate and legislate on this subject that has captured the nations attention. >> it's clear the republican bill as is will not get 60 votes the republican bill does not even fully prevent the kind of tactics that spark this whole debate in the first place. reporter: democrats plan to block the bill before it hits the floor. >> nascar driver bubba wallace speaking out overnight. he says the rope found inside his garage is a neuce after the fbi determined it was a garbage door pull rope left there last year. listen. >> it's a straight up neuce.
5:13 am
the fbi stated it was a neuce over and over again. nascar leadership has stated it was a neuce. reporter: the fbi says although the rope was tied like a neuce, no hate crime was committed because video shows it hanging in the garage in october. >> congresswoman cortez cruising to a primary victory. the new york democrat easily defeating challenger michelle caruso cabrera, and elliott angle not faring as well and he is trailing by double-digits in kentucky, amy mcgrath is leading charles book erin the democratic senate primary, and the winner will battle senate majority leader mitch mcconnell in november and a big upset in north carolina, 24-year-old madison hawthorn defeating trump -backed candidate linda ben it in the republican house primary to fill mark meadows seat. those are your headlines back to you. ainsley: good deal. 13 minutes after the top of the hour. president trump visiting arizona marking the 200th-mile of the border wall.

president trump: my administration has done more than any administration in history to secure our southern border. our borders never been more secure. during the past two months we've seen the lowest number of illegal border crossings in many years. illegal immigration is down 84% from this time last year. illegal crossings from central america are down 97%. brian: that's how the president started his day in arizona. president trump meeting with border and immigration officials in yuma yesterday before touring a newly-completed section of border wall. and signing his
5:19 am
name on the wall our next guest was at the round table with the president the mayor of yuma, arizona, douglas nichols joins us now. mr. mayor describe the president yesterday at your place. >> well it was great to have the president in. this is his second trip to yuma so it's always good to get that presidential visit and we also had the acting secretary for dh s, secretary wolf, commissioner morgan, we had the general in charge of the construction, all in one spot so it was really great to have that kind of focus on something that's daily issue and extremely important to our community and security. brian: you've got impressive numbers. in may of 2019, there were 132, 856 illegals crossing the border you got that down to 21, 475. how much does that have to do with the border system that's now in? >> well it's critical, because
5:20 am
instead of having a completely open border or a very penetrat ed border, for miles and miles and miles in the remote desert, we have more of a focus and the border patrol agents can hone in on areas of vulnerability instead of just having to look at absolutely everything, so it really provides a focus for them and more of a the ability to get more done with fewer people. brian: mr. mayor most people talk about the need to control that border. he's got about 210 miles. i saw him sign it yesterday. for you personally, could you tell me, because i read the wall street journal they said this is mostly replacement wall. the president and his staff say no this is new wall. what is it? >> well basically what it is, some sections had lands map wall which the illegal crossers were able to go under it only went
5:21 am
down a few inches, or climb over or cut through. some places were completely open which literally you could drive a car across, and then some places had barb wire so it really replaced that and so they refer to it as "new" because it is something that has never existed there before, from the physical wall but also the electronic and surveillance wall that's there and the accessibility for the agents in the area to enact the enforcement. brian: and also senator martha mcsally there as well. mr. mayor thanks so much you got wall, got protection and the numbers show it's already working, good job. >> great thank you very much for having me on. brian: meanwhile coming up straight ahead twitter going after president trump again, and flagging this tweet saying there will never be an autonomous zone in d.c. they said that's a threat. counselor to the president kellyanne conway may in fact feel differently. we'll find out. >> ♪ ♪ ♪

5:27 am
arbed wire fencing and the boards that protected this iconic fifth avenue store, from the riots a few weeks ago. this is the 40th of 40 sachs nationwide to reopen their doors during the coronavirus pandemic and what they are doing is taking down those boards and fences and replacing it with this. these are window displays. they are dark, they are under stated, and i think that's the point. they say welcome back, nyc. we miss you. the store will open in about two and a half hours from now. one thousand workers will be inside welcoming shoppers encouraging them to wear masks. you'll see purple and green lights employee enating throughout the store, the 22 escalators will have uv light that will disinfect the rails, so shoppers feel more comfortable, and then there's these separate areas where you can make your returns. the items that are brought back will be clean, they will be quarantined for 24 hours before they are put back on display.
5:28 am
these are just some of the changes that sachs is making to make people feel more comfortable so let me tell you what's missing. missing is the discounts. why is that? you'd think you need to lure shoppers back in. sachs says no, no, no, we have loyal shoppers, new merchandise and we have done delivery which has been very popular and they are opening the store two hours early and closing it two hours late to accommodate private shopping. the other thing that's missing is the tourists. they represent about one-third of sales i don't know when tourists are coming back to new york city and one final thing, the spa. it is closed for now but i can tell you this. i haven't been in the city in a while guys this is my first time back in about three months. the energy to me is slowly coming back but it certainly feels different. sachs says as other brands decide to close or move, that could be good for them, because as this historic iconic luxury shop and district changes they could benefit from fewer

5:30 am
protesting, and violence and vandalism. i can't believe nancy pelosi and people like that are so quick to remove statues in the hall and remove portraits of former speakers of the house. she has walked by those statues and paintings for years and has never yet cast a positive vote in favor of choice which disproportionately helps, thank god, kids of color in communities where they are trapped in failing schools so it also seems to just be a convenient, easy way for some people to not do their jobs, to actually help people the way president trump has helped all americans, including the forgotten man, woman, and child in our communities of color. yesterday i was with the vice president in wisconsin and we spoke about the 30th anniversary of the school choice program there in wisconsin which really has led to many educational freedom, scholarships and charter schools and school choice and alternatives to

public schools, where they are failing kids which of course is not everywhere, and i'll tell you the president said even as a candidate five years ago, that if we can dig out the panama canal, put a man on the moon, win two world wars we ought to be able to as a nation provide quality education for each child this empowers parents so my message to those who want to rip down statues and remove portrait s in the capitol, whetherrer is your vote to actually help people? easy, convenient, but also vandalism and violence, and who is it helping? listen to the brother of george floyd, god rest his soul. listen to the widow of mr. brooks in atlanta. they're saying peaceful protesting, and that's not what we're seeing and look at what happened in seattle. the mayor there looks foolish today. she basic lip said we're just having a beer garden, backyard barbecue it's fine. let them be there, somebody lost their lives she's rethinking it now calling in the police to help her.
5:32 am
that's what happens when things go too far. ainsley: kellyanne it's one thing to criticize a president but it's another to criticize his or one day her children, and that's what happened. this by john henson, i used to think he was so funny on talk soup but very disappointed in what he tweeted over the weekend it's now deleted but he wrote i hope barron gets to spend today with whoever his dad is. now this guy is now on the food network. that was deleted but stephanie g risham said this , sadly we continue to see inappropriate and insensitive comments about the president's son as with every other administration a minor child should be off limits and allowed to grow up with no judgment or hate from strangers and the media. what do you say, kellyanne? >> well, i may part company here a little bit with even mentioning this and naming the guy who said the tweet because i think you're giving him a platform. ainsley: i thought about that too. but it is news. >> i didn't even know who he was and now people do but sure, but the first lady has been very
5:33 am
protective of her son, all of his parents are, and stephanie g risham is absolutely correct. look chelsea clinton was 12 when his father was elected, the obama daughters were very young, even younger than that i believe but we should all treat them, you've got to treat them like eggs. they are off limits. you don't touch them, you don't talk about them. i feel very strongly about that, and people somehow believe that if they can just say it they should, there should be no un expressed thought or tweet left in america. folks you could have unexpressed thoughts left and by the way it's not funny. when did comedy become so un funny and so overly political? so he has every right to be a kid like everyone else and i'll just leave it at that. steve: there you go. at the outset you were talking about twitter. you mentioned school choice, which i know the president has been talking a lot about. you have as well. will the private schools like the catholic schools and other private schools be able to get some sort of stimulus from the fourth round of pandemic
5:34 am
relief because i have heard from the cardinal here in new york city they are going to have to close a bunch of schools that serve a lot of communities that are funded by the sunday collection plate that they have not been able to do for months. is the administration going to be able to get together with congress to help the school? >> yes and that questions really for congress because president trump led a call with hundreds and hundreds of catholic leaders and educators and parents and cardinal dolan was on that call, and archbishop gomez of the los angeles district and other leaders and we have a two-part plan right now that we are presenting. one is for emergency relief from any of these non-public schools and the second part are these education freedom scholarships which have been around for a while. congresswoman bradley burns sponsored in the house, senator ted cruz in the senate. they are really picking up a great deal of steam, why? because the education freedom scholarship doesn't use
5:35 am
government money really. it's about $5 billion in private donations where you're repurpos ing your tax payments and so that you can give people choices and it's administered through a sponsored organization that are approved in your state. we have about 17 or 18 states like florida and arizona where these scholarships education scholarships had been transformative. i've met the students and their parents and this is incredibly important because you say correctly that our parents are being denied their choice because of the covid pandemic to send their kids to schools and i'd remind everybody one-fifth of our students nationwide in catholic schools are not catholic and over one in five are kids of color in our inner city, they are often a majority of black and hispanic children so you're denying them and their parents to continue the education they put before them. they need democrats to support this. this is a time to say that looking at the tri-partisan support in the polls for school
5:36 am
choice and education freedom scholarships we've seen everywhere, you have vast majorities of millennials, african americans, hispanic women, everybody really supports the idea of education freedom and school choice. please don't stand in the schoolhouse door not allowing these kids to exit fail ing schools. brian: kellyanne conway thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: 24 minutes within the top of the hour, statues and monuments being destroyed across this nation, could mount rush more be the next target? south dakota governor christie nome says not on her watch and we both in the prompter for a reason. i didn't realize how special it would be for me to discover all of these things that i found through ancestry. i discovered my great aunt ruth signed up as a nursing cadet for world war ii. you see this scanned-in, handwritten document. the most striking detail is her age. she was only 17. knowing that she saw this thing happening and was brave enough to get involved and do something- that was eye opening.

ainsley: what started as a movement against confederate symbols now expanding to other historical figures including former presidents like jackson and roosevelt. steve: and as calls for removal
5:41 am
grow louder, our next guest vows to protect one of the most iconic monuments in the world, mount rushmore. brian: joining us now is south dakota governor christie nome. governor, we were thinking about you, because it seems like every , all our monuments and tributes to the past are under a microscope. are you concerned that you're going to be mount rushmore is the subject of protests or de filement? >> you know it certainly could be and we've seen some activity online where people have made threats to that. what my message is that this is no longer about equality. this is a radical rewroting of our history and in south dakota we won't stand for it. this is a national monument. the more we focus on the flaws of these men that are on our mountain, the less likely we are to recognize the virtues, and the lessons we can learn from their lives, so that really is the message that i have for south dakota that love this mountain and mount rushmore for this country, that recognize what it represents to
5:42 am
us and we will do all that we can to make sure that that message is loud and clear that we will make sure that mount rushmore stays as magestic as it is today. ainsley: how do you plan on stopping it if it does go that far? >> you know this is obviously a federal mountain. it is a national monument, it is something that we will partner with them and use the resources of the state to make sure that we have security measures in place. i won't get into specifics, but we do have actions together that we're working on. we have the president visiting on july 3 and we're excited about that, but we also know that this threat to the mountain could remain in place for quite some time and we're prepared to be there and be diligent about protecting it. steve: yeah, governor there are a number of governors across the country who are not taking the bold stand you are about not on my watch and we have heard that as well from donald trump. he's made it very clear. you break the law you're going to get into trouble.
5:43 am
ultimately as people look in, and as people feel frustrated, america is spiraling out of control and nobody is doing anything although donald trump is trying to, doesn't that ultimately politically fire up his base? >> it does. i think it should fire up every single american that loves this country. this whole conversation has changed. its gone away from equality and it's a radical movement that's rewriting our history, that will takeaway all of the lessons that we want to teach our kids and our grandkids. george washington was a unifier. he brought this country together to lead us at a time when we needed the birth of the nation to get started. we know we have thomas jefferson who was an author of the declaration of independence. they gave us all men are created equal. lincoln made it happen. brought it to reality. roosevelt was the first man to die dine with an african americans at the white house, so these men have flaws obviously every leader has flaws but we're missing the opportunity we have in this discussion to talk about
5:44 am
the virtues and what they brought to this country, and the fact that this is a foundation that we're built on and the heritage we should be carrying forward. brian: governor the way you put this is eloquent as anyone i've heard describe why it's important to have symbols of america not because they were perfect but because they made major impacts in the country that gets better and better every year. some would look at this and say we're going to get better, we have to start pulling down the imperfect and as you sit in south dakota, and i've been to mount rushmore, we did a great feature, was able to go behind luxuries and see this incredible design and how it took place, but the way they had to adapt to the side of the mountain, how do we get to the point where we are the greatest critic of our own country? we have enough enemies outside our border and now the enemies seem to be within our border. >> you know, i think we just need to continue to push that
5:45 am
the truth gets told. this country isn't perfect. nobody in this country is perfect, but we learn from our mistakes, and that's what history brings to us each and every day as an opportunity to do better. that's what these men represent to us is they did amazing things for this country and we can do even better if we work together and quit dividing and destroying , but instead build each other up and encourage each other, learn, and look to creating an america that really does exemplify what their dreams were and that is what this whole conversation has completely shifted from and that is one of the reasons that every day, we need to continue to use these opportunities to educate folks on why this country is special and why it needs to be defended and why we need to protect these kind of monuments to make sure that story is told. ainsley: the beauty of all of this of the system, our founders and framers began or started is that we can correct wrongdoings, correct injustices and become a

better union thank you so much governor for being with us and there's a space behind her head, brian's been in it, right? brian: yeah, there's a shaft where they were going to keep the original constitution and the bill of rights and at the last minute they said we didn't give you permission to build this so it's half donald they now exist copies of those original documents. ainsley: is that still on fox nation? brian: it's still on fox nation so you could sign up today . ainsley: yes, already thank you, brian. bridging the gap. that's the goal of the police athletic league. how they are bringing law enforcement kids together coming up next but first let's check in with sandra. >> sandra: ainsley it is great to see you on this wednesday morning good morning, everyone. violent protests in d.c. overnight, activists burning an american flag calling for the removal of a statue of abraham lincoln and how president trump is responding this morning we'll have brand new reaction and reaction from lawmakers senator kelly levin letter will be our guest this

steve: as cities work to improve police and community relations many have a tool that's already available to bridge the gap. the police athletic league, or pal is an organization that brings young people together with police officers. here on the work he's doing is the executive director of the new york city police athletic league, fred watts. good morning to you. >> good morning thank you for having me. steve: it's great to have you as well because police, you know the topic of the police comes up all the time now in the news and this was an organization started back in the day in new york city to bridge the gap between the community and the police which is exactly what a lot of people are talking about doing right now. >> that's correct. we were started in 1914 so we're over 105 years old, and the original idea still holds true today, that youth need a place to play and grow, and
5:52 am
youth and police need to come together as one community with the hope of making both children as well as the police sort of better partners community partners. steve: sure and ultimately, the idea is as the members of police athletic league work with these kids is to interact with them in a way they might not interact with the police otherwise, to see hey that it's not just a badge. it's a really nice guy, who just showed how to pitch a fastball. >> that's exactly right. our hope is that a child's first interaction with police is a positive one. we serve kids from ages 2 all the way up until their teens in a variety of education programs, sports programs, performing arts programs, and our goal is to have the police involved wherever we can so that when children are interacting with them, they realize that the police, many of them grew up
5:53 am
in the same neighborhoods and that they care about them, and those relationships, i think, help us going forward for better communication with them and their families and quite frankly safer streets. so we feel it's a win-win if we can get the police involved in our youth development cause. steve: right and it's not just baseball. we're looking at some video right there of the kids chorus. i was lucky enough to be in attendance at one of your events this past year. those kids can sing, and they've done the national anthem at the mets and yankees game all across the country. >> yes, we're very excited about what we call pal acting it's a theatre arts program and an offshoot of that is this cops and kids chorus where the officers write music with our teens and they perform and it's the brain child of our board member tony danza and it has been fantastic. the cops learn more about the
5:54 am
children, and they become one, the children learn more about the police and it really, i think, vindicates our mission that if you put these parties together you can make both the cops more understanding of the youth in the community and you can make the youth more understanding of the police. so we're very excited about that program and we try to do that in sports and education as well. steve: right, i know you're a big supporter of the police department. its got to break your heart because you know so many members of law enforcement what's going on right now, where there is such scrutiny, and in many cases our police officers are being vi llified. >> well, i feel that it's important for us to appreciate at least where the anger and ang st is coming from. it's coming from a real place. we do have to do better. law enforcement must do better, and if we own that, then we can
5:55 am
come up with balance solutions, so i've been in law enforcement now at the police athletic league for 35 years. we have to own our problems, but then explore good solutions, and there are many. they may be legal. they may be accountability, all sorts of things but in my little world, bridging that gap is a part of the solution which i think is a pathway to success. so let's own our problems and let's go for a balanced approach to fix those problems. steve: sure. a logistical question. during this pandemic, i know you've got a very famous summer camp where you have got 2,000 low income children who you send to camp. what do you do this year? >> well this year is a very difficult year, as you can imagine, and we're not going to be able to run our traditional camps because so much of it is indoor with large numbers of youth. we are still going to do our
5:56 am
signature outdoor play street program and we're working on a way to do that using social distancing and we have a virtual platform where kids will be able to sort of play and interact with each other on a computer platform. steve: all right >> i just want to add that the conditions we're working under have put the staff is fantastic. steve: absolutely. >> and creative and great. so that's really a big part of what i think we're seeing under these circumstances. steve: fred, thank you.

among my patients i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. new sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend.

>> he saw the good work of the police athletic league, if you'd like to help them go to pal nyc.org. >> sandra: fox news alert on this wednesday morning, protests ramping up across the country overnight. a startling scene in atlanta with at least three men brandishing long guns gathering at the wendy's parking lot there were rate rayshard brooks was killed earlier this month. >> ed: a very pleasant good morning to you, i'm ed henry. police are no longer allowed in the area according to the men, all this on the same day as rayshard brooks' funeral. meanwhile express burning american flag near the white house while others called for the removal of the end emancipation memorial which shows abraham lincoln
