tv   Bill Hemmer Reports  FOX News  June 25, 2020 12:00pm-1:00pm PDT

12:00 pm
parents have to sit in their cars for social distancing. they can't even watch their kids play. >> dana: i didn't know that. the league has a good point. lauren simonetti, thanks for joining us. i'm dana perino. see you on "the five." here's trace gallagher. >> thanks. good afternoon. i'm trace gallagher in for bill hemmer. a pentagon spokesperson says hundreds of national guard troops have been activated to defends monuments in the nation's capitol. protesters vowing to tear downs the emancipation memorial in lincoln park tonight. this comes as president trump is expected to sign an executive order to protect federal statues and monuments. meantime, wisconsin democratic governor tony evers has also called in the national guard after protests turned violent. we're covering this from all angles. in a moment, i'll speak with mike johnson and mike tobin has the latest on protests in wisconsin. first, to lucas tomlinson.
12:01 pm
his reporting live from lafayette square in washington d.c. lucas? >> good afternoon, trace. all is calm in front of the white house. 400 national guardsmen from washington d.c. are on standby just in case. so far they have not been deployed to the monuments in the nation's capitol. d.c.'s mayor called for peace and says she doesn't want to see anymore monuments torn down. >> this is what i think we all need to do with statues. have a reasonable conversation on statues and other references to historical figures. not have a mob decide that they want to pull it down and certainly not destroy anything in the district or set anything on fire. >> all was calm last night in the recently named black lives matter plaza next to the white house. because d.c. is not a state, the defense secretary can call up the national guard.
12:02 pm
unlike those mobilized earlier this month, the new soldiers will not be armed. protesters at the white house. d.c. arrested nine people after smoke grenades were deployed near the st. johns church. last friday night, vandals tore down a monument to albert pike, the line confederate statue in d.c. police did not intervene. earlier this week, riders tried to stair down the statue of andrew jackson. they were not successful. while jackson's remains, another might be coming down soon. eleanor horton holmes wants to remove the emancipation statue showing abraham lincoln with the freed sloaves. pro tests are planned where the statue is.
12:03 pm
tomorrow, the first vote on whether d.c. will become a state. >> thanks, lucas. let's bring in mike johnson from louisiana. he's the top republican on the house judiciary subcommittee on the constitution, civil rights and civil liberties. congressman, good to see you. thank you. the justice and policing act will be voted on tonight in the house, we assume. it will pass in the house. i want to play you what the house speaker nancy pelosi said about this and then get your reaction on the flip side. watch this, sir. >> the george floyd justice and policing act will fundamentally transform the culture of policing to address systemic racism, curb police brutality and bring accountability to our police departments. >> you will oppose this. tell us why. >> i wish anything she said were true. it's not this is a partisan exercise. throughout the republican conference in the congress, we have gone to our democratic colleagues and begged them to
12:04 pm
work together. we have meaningful reform that all of us could get together on and make it bipartisan but they have no interest in it. you saw tim scott's bill on the senate side. we have the house companions on our side. the democrats in the senate killed the bill last night. they would not agree to move it forward for debate and amendment because they want to make it a partisan issue. it's a tragedy, trace. i just left the house floor where i said this is the truth of the matter. i commend every american to watch tim scott's video last night. he explains what happened. >> where a very impassioned speech. you're right. senator scott was saying, look, he doesn't think they were voting against what was being offered in the bill. he thinks they were voting who was offering the bill, meaning the republicans. i want to put your tweet on the screen from today talking about this and get your response in there. the rise that we see in calls for socialism and anarchy and defending the police are against the founding principles that have made the united states an exceptional nation. the more that we can say that
12:05 pm
and help people understand why, the better off our country will be. how do you understand or make people understand why, congressman. what is the message behind the tweets? >> the message is that these violent mops, this lawlessness, the anarchy in the streets, the destruction of private and public property is the opposite of what we stand for. we're based on the rule of law. john adams, our second president that explained the difference between us and the british empire that we broke away from, he said we're a nation of laws, not men. you cannot have a free society unless you have law and order. it violates the very core of who we are as americans. these mobs don't understand some of these basic principles, trace. they don't understand why america is different and an exceptional nation and we have to draw their attention back to that somehow. >> you said you're against the justice and policing act. it will pass the house. not the senate. the president has said it will veto it.
12:06 pm
this will not pass. the question is what is next. where do you start next and what is the process going forward, congressman? >> we can't let it go. this is an important moment in america. we need and the american people are demanding and expecting for members of congress to act like adults to get together in a room and forge this public policy together. there are meaningful compromises that we can make. we all agree that we need improvement in transparency and training and determination of the rare bad apples, the rare individuals in law enforcement that give it a bad name. the vast majority of law enforcement are self--less, self-sacrificing public servants. they take their lives when they put the badge on to protect and serve. we have to defend law enforcement and make meaningful reform. those are not mutually exclusive pursuits. the democrats refuse to work with us. it's a tragedy. i hope we can get back to this soon. >> at the top of the show we talked about the threat to tear down the emancipation memorial in lafayette park. what are your thoughts on that,
12:07 pm
the process going forward? do we need to move some of these into museums? what should we do going forward? >> the medium step is what the president and the secretary of defense and others have committed to do. that is defend these monuments. if we can do it ourselves, we would. this is an appropriate thing. this is federal property and d.c. has been explained the guard can help. aside from that, for the long-term, we need to have meaningful debate. if there's a statue that defends the great that -- majority of the people, let's talk about it. we have a long way to go. we have to do it together and not oppose one another with the lawlessness in the streets. >> people don't know you have a great deal of personal involvement in this. you have an adopted african american son that is 34. this is an important issue to you. >> it is. i have the experience of raising two 14-year-old boys, michael,
12:08 pm
our black son that we took custody of and my older son, jack, that is white. the only difference is one is black, white is white. the reality, michael will have a harder time than jack. with we have to face that. >> thanks, congressman. >> thank you. >> the governor has called in the national guard to help protect people and state buildings. mike tobin has the latest on the ground there. mike? >> trace, i should tell you, madison wisconsin made it through the night without violence after the governor activated the national guard following protests at the state capitol. now the trend to go after statues got two at the state capitol. one is a statue called forward created by a female sculptor in 1893. it's intended to signify devotion and problem. the other station was of an abolitionist and senator tim
12:09 pm
carpenter said he stopped to take pictures and the protesters came after him. he may have a broken nose and concussion. carpenter said following the attack he can't see so well. here's his video. >> the wisconsin protest was triggered by the arrest of a black man that followed a white man in a restaurant with a baseball bat and a megaphone calling him racist. the man has reportedly been active at black lives matters demonstrations in wisconsin. he was detained by allegedly escaped from the police and a struggle followed. jackson was taken to jail and charge with disorderly conduct, escape and a probation violation. local leaders criticized evers for lets the protest get out of

hand. the state police will have a quick reaction force activated at the state capitol to assist city, state and capitol police again tonight. trace? >> mike tobin live in wisconsin. thank you. we have a fox news alert now. a police officer in grand rapids, michigan has been shot after being ambushed while he was in an unmarked police car. according to a report from local tv, the officer was shot at multiple times by people yesterday who fired more than two dozen rounds at this car. sources say the officer was not hurt. we will continue to monitor this and bring you updates as we get them. well, as you can see, we have a big hour ahead. this seattle, some businesses inside the protest zone are now suing the city. judge andrew andrew napolitano will joining us on that. plus, did you see this interview? >> what do you hope to achieve through violence? >> wow. it's interesting that you would
12:11 pm
pose that question like that. because this country is built upon violence. what was the american revolution. our diplomacy across the globe. >> geraldo rivera reacts to that ahead and ford is about to unveil the brand new f-150 pickup. a line of trucks that is second in sales only to the iphone. charles payne from fox business has more on that next. ♪ veterans, do you have a va loan? if you do, one call to newday can save you $2000 a year. newday lets you refi at today's near rock bottom rates by shortcutting the loan process. there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. it's the quickest and easiest refi newday's ever offered. one call can lower your mortgage payment by this time next month.

12:16 pm
host of "making money" on fox business. i want to put the unemployment numbers on the screen quickly, charles and get your reaction to them. as we mentioned, last week, the new claims, 1.84 million. the previous week, a little over 1.5 million. the 12th straight weekly decline but it was a little bit. now it's slowing down. the decline is slowing down and now the 600 unemployment benefit is about to end. what do you make of where we're going in this direction? >> the direction to your point is the right direction. 12 sequential weeks of declines is what we want. the slowing rate is alarming. we finally creeped under 20 million. cumulatively since this happened, trace, 50 million americans have filed for initial jobless claims. a lot of them are on the -- in part because of the $600 bonus you talked about. it's up for a debate. under july, 30, 31.
12:17 pm
i think and hope congress does something before that because what larry kudlow was talking about, for that to happen, the american consumer has to be confident. there's a couple of things. obviously want to make sure that we don't see any major closings or reclosings because of covid-19. also, we are sitting on a record amount of savings. the savings rate went up 33%. unheard of in this country. $6 trillion. a lot of folks are saying people are not spending that, they're safing that. why give them more money? here's the ironic financial psychology here. the reason they're not spending it is because they believe it's a one-time event. if there's another sense of hey, we're going from relief to stimulus, some kind of form of injection, that will unleash a lot of the money they're sitting on. we're talking about doing better than the numbers that kudlow preduct. >> trace: we talked about this in the keys. it's fascinating. a lot of things that i don't know but the f-150 ford is, you
12:18 pm
know, the big trucks, 37% of ford's entire business. they're going to unveil the new one tonight. what do you make of that? >> ford is in trouble. anyone watching that has been in the stock the last few years knows that this is a company that has one of the most magnificent products in the world, in this country. only the iphone generated more revenue. $42 billion in revenue. we're talking more of companies like mcdonalds, netflix, starbucks. it's a juggernaut. but the rest of the company is in trouble. they have $150 billion in debt. they couldn't find the right cars. people didn't want cars anyway. the gleaming f-150, the number 1 truck for 43 years, it's just absolutely amazing that this unveil tonight keeps people excited. so they'll have a traditional version a hybrid version and two years a electric version. it's competitive this space and ford needs to stay on top of the
12:19 pm
f-150 for sure. >> doesn't sound like the electric version is the same buyer as the real true gasoline version of the f-150. at least in perception, charles. >> you know what? when elon musk unveiled his pickup, people said oh, you know, no one wants an electric pickup truck. it's done well with head-to-head performances. there's some tweaks. tonight when ford talks, they'll focus about the power, right? the raw power of the f-150 and it's got to translate to the electric version for sure. >> trace: thanks, charles. thank you. >> you too. thanks, buddy. >> trace: michael flynn's lawyers says newly released notes suggest that joe biden may have come up with the idea of investigating general flynn. i'll speak with the anchor of "special report" bret baier about that next.

12:23 pm
12:24 pm
>> trace: president trump back in a battleground state. he's visiting wisconsin where the real clear politics average show that joe biden is up by eight points. democrats say they will move ahead with a scaled down convention this summer. the former v.p. sticking close to home while campaigning and more democrats appear to be coming around to that strategy. let's bring in "special report" anchor, bret baier. i want to put the numbers on the screen. you talk about the joe biden bunker strategy. democrats are saying look, it's pretty effective. not only is he up in the rcp average by ten points, but he's also taking in more money than he was when he was out and about. what are your thoughts on the bunker strategy, bret? >> more democrats are warming to it. i think it concerns some at the beginning that he was not getting out and about. as the concern about covid-19
12:25 pm
shoots back up and as places around the country are seeing increases, really there are two different types of attacks here. i forget where i read it, but it was the tale of two conventions that we're looking at here. the democrats are going to have their convention in milwaukee. but it's going to be really scaled back. a lot of it will be virtual. the republicans left north carolina in charlotte to go to jacksonville in hopes of making this bigger, raucous kind of crowd. florida's numbers are on the way up. we'll see where they are by the time we get to the convention. two different looks at this. democrats are warming to biden staying in the basement. >> seems like it. i want to go to michael flynn. we learned that the july 16th hearing has been cancelled. the filing deadlines have been put on hold. doesn't indicate that the michael flynn case is over but appears to be heading in this direction.
12:26 pm
>> i agree. everybody expects it to fizzle and the judge to stop the fight and the appeals court the final nail in the coffin of the efforts to keep this going. this is a long battle here. if you look at it in the big picture for michael flynn. he's going to cross the finish line and walk out. it's not an overturning of the conviction. he was never convicted. >> trace: up on the screen i want this. we talked about it. a lot of play on this peter strzok note. maybe vice president joe biden introduced the idea of investigating michael flynn. the vice president suggests the logan act. president obama says these are unusual times. he says, you know, make sure you look over things and have the right people in place. then in the very bottom there, you have the fbi director at the time, james comey saying the kislyak call that flynn said appears to be legit. i want to play you what joe biden said when asked about this in may and get your response.
12:27 pm
listen. >> i know nothing about those moves to investigate michael flynn. i thought you asked me whether or not i had anything to do with him being prosecuted. i'm sorry. i was aware that there was -- that they asked for an investigation. that's all i know about it. >> trace: how is this playing, bret? >> i don't think it plays well. joe biden will have to answer a question about it. we invited him on "special report" many times. he hasn't accepted. this opens another door to the meeting on january 4. this is 16 days before the president is inaugurated. that meeting, susan rice writes an e-mail to say it was done by the book. there's a lot of things that we have yet to learn after talking to the attorney general and the fbi director. a lot will come out in this durham report and i expect it to happen in july. there was -- there are -- we
12:28 pm
learned yesterday, fbi agents working with the durham report on the staff. there are -- there was a grand jury that we believe took time off for covid and now is back. i think the durham report is going to shed some light on all of this. >> trace: yeah, you talked to christopher ray last night. i don't have time for the sound bite but he said this is unacceptable behavior. you pressed him on is it criminal? he's said that's not up to me. what did you take from that? >> i think he wanted to do the interview to get his statement out about the -- that it's unacceptable. as far as what the fbi has done, he is saying that all the recommendations from the i.g. they're putting in place. there's real questions about how fast the fbi dealt with document requests from both the flynn defense and from congress. >> trace: it's getting harder and harder for anybody to say there was not some bad behavior going on. bret baier, thanks.
12:29 pm
>> see you, trace. >> trace: some seattle businesses now suing the city accusing officials of allowing protesters to overrun their neighborhood. do they have a case? we'll talk to judge andrew napolitano next. plus, a leader of the black lives matter movement says if change doesn't happen, it's time to burn down the system. geraldo will join me to discuss where the protests might go from here. >> we go in and we blow up countries and replace their leaders with leader whose we like. so for any american to accuse us of being violent is hypocritical. with just one call to newday, you can cut your family's mortgage payments by $2000 a year. the va streamline refi is a benefit your spouse earned. it shortens the refi process so veteran families can save money by refinancing. there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs and you can do it all right from home.

12:34 pm
years in prison. a judge released him without having to pay bail. new york city's police commissioner called the incident disturbing. a live look outside new york city hall. people are -- where people are demanding the city cut $1 billion from the $6 billion budget. alex hogan rolling. >> trace, they have the same goal. they say they won't leave city hall until their needs are met by lawmakers with the goal being $1 billion removed from the nypd $6 billion budget. they want all of that funding to go to different things like social services and different programs. the occupy city hall movement rallied 1,500 people yesterday. at least 100 staying the night. organizers say the budget cut is the beginning of ground work to
12:35 pm
support minorities that are suffering. >> we want the money diverted to social justice causes. where it needs to be. the police department has enough funds, enough arms. the thing about it, they have plenty nonlethal weapons that they refuse to use when they encounter people of color. >> we have a tangible way to invest in our communities and divest in what is causing us harm, which is the police department. we've seen instance and evidence and data that shows when you invest in social services, you up prove the community. >> amid calls to abolish partially defund police, police shootings are up to 141 incidents, a monthly total higher than we've seen in decades. addressing violence, the mayor noted the need to get the court system going again. >> we need -- right now, someone is arrested, a lot of cases, nothing that happens next. we need the court system to get functioning, the d.a.s to get in gear and addressing gun
12:36 pm
offenses. >> as the cities around the country are rallying, calling for police reform, the mayor here says there will be cuts to the nypd's budget but hasn't specified how much just yet. there will be a vote at the end of the month. until then, protesters say they will be here peacefully waiting. trace? >> trace: alex hogan live. thanks. let's bring in geraldo rivera. i know you think it might fizzle out. alex says look, the violence is escalating. you look across the country. south chicago, west baltimore. there's places across the country where violence is really escalating. you think well, maybe this defund police thing will lose steam. but then you look at this. show you this graphic and get your opinion about it. we have two states where at least one of the state representatives supports reducing police funding. you have one city, a city voted to replace the police force
12:37 pm
altogether. 14 cities where the mayor or council commits to reduce funding by a specific amount and then you have 45 cities, 45 cities across the country where at least one official supports reducing police funding. at what point do you think this begins to fizzle, geraldo? >> i think it begins to fizzle as soon as you read the statistics. it's not an accident the cops will maintain that violence is spiking in new york city as the correspondent just alluded to up 25% year to date. murders are the most severe, steepest increase in 25 years. minneapolis, the one city that said they were going to defund the cops, you had 111 shootings since george floyd was killed four weeks ago. chicago, you saw it happen father's day weekend. over 100 shot, 14 dead, including four teenagers and a
12:38 pm
3-year-old boy for goodness sake. this is the reality. the reality that people want to be safe. yes, we want to reform our police. yes, it's deplorable what the cop did in choking the alleged perp just now in new york. we want cops to be modern, sensitive, we want them to be responsive but we want to be safe, trace, more than anything else. i think that that is the bottom line. that's the foundation. >> trace: yeah. you have people calling for defunding police departments. last night, the new york president of black lives matter said this about if we need to ratchet up violence, maybe we will. watch. >> if this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it. all right? i can be speaking figuratively. i could be speaking literally. it's a matter of interpretation. >> trace: yeah. the same group that wants to get rid of police would like to see
12:39 pm
more violence if necessary. >> i think that guy is a race-baiting anarchist, trace. how dare he to threaten to burn down our institutions, to burn down government, to forement that kind of disorder, tension is high. shame on him. shame on that rhetoric. it has no place in public discourse. yes, we want police reform. it's like back in the 60s when i was a young lawyer, that was where they created the civilian police review board. i think you need a step like that. you need a step to reform essentially the relationship, but you don't throw it out. you don't destroy it. you don't defund it. you don't threaten to burn down cities and hurt people. i think that if it's gone beyond the pale now and it's that rhetoric that will diffuse the defund movement. >> trace: i got to go, geraldo.
12:40 pm
15 seconds. you say look, the cops and citizens have become increasingly separated. how in the world do you get them back together? very quickly. >> i think you need community policing. in the old days, i knew the cop on the corner. it was the same cop all the time in the ninth precinct. you knew what they were. you need that relationship. who did that? johnny did that or, you know, watch out because the -- the these on the them will do something. that's the relationship that you need. you need to get the wall down between blue, black and white, trace. >> trace: geraldo rivera, good to see you. thank you. >> you too, trace. >> trace: some businesses in an around seattle's occupy protest zone are now suing the city accusing local officials of abandoning their neighborhood and allowing it to be overrun with violence and vandalism. the city attorney's office says it will review the lawsuit. let's bring in the senior judicial analyst, judge andrew napolitano. nice to see you.
12:41 pm
haven't seen you in awhile. i wonder if this has legs, this lawsuit by the businesses against seattle? it would seem on its face it does. these businesses did anything wrong but they have shut down for the most part for the past 2 1/2 weeks. >> well, trace, of course it's always a pleasure to be with you from los angeles to new jersey. never seems to be in the same room together. the very, very articulate, very compelling description that geraldo rivera just gave of what might happen in the new york if the person that was on with martha maccallum meant his word literally and follows up on this has actually happened in a neighborhood in seattle where the mayor thinks the people do not want police and should pull them out. we know they're back. in the time when they weren't there, the damage was horrific. the atmosphere was lawless. those that roamed and patrolled
12:42 pm
the streets felt as though they were princes of the city and could do anything they want. so now order has been restored. the people whose property has been damaged or the insurance carrier for those people is suing the police. so the question is, is there a cause of action against the police when they knowingly look the other way? this is not a happy answer, trace. every time the supreme court of the united states has looked at this issue, it has said in explicably, the police do not have a duty to protect property or even to protect life. now, we think they have a moral duty to do that. if they see a crime in progress, they have a morale obligation to stop it. but they don't have a duty to be everywhere. so can the mayor be sued for intentionally keeping the cops out of that area? the supreme court would also say no. but she can be voted out of office or be impeached. that is use the political
12:43 pm
process rather than the courts. >> trace: judge, i want your op-ed -- talk about the monuments here. you said tearing down the monuments, you said many of our founding father did bad things. the impulse is to knock them off but doing so runs the risk of rewriting history and acting as if they never existed. we also run the risk of demanding such human perfection as preconditioned to directing a instrument of memory that only jesus christ can meet the standard. you're saying show me a statue and i'll show you bad behavior at some point. >> yes, i am. i'm saying that intelligent people need to understand that good people do bad things and bad people do good things. we've put statues open because of the general balance of the person's life worth because the good outweighed the bad. not because the person was perfect. i'm not a fan of theodore roosevelt. i'm a descendant of the people that christopher columbus
12:44 pm

>> trace: fox news alert. attorneys for dr. rick bright filing an amendment to his whistle-blower complaint. bright testified before congress last month after he was removed from his senior post at the department of health and human services. he said his superiors ignored warning calls about preparing for the pandemic. the u.s. just had their biggest spike in coronavirus cases yet with more than 36,000 new infections reported yesterday. we have not seen numbers like that since back in april. the virus surging across the south and west from florida to texas, arizona, california. the governor of texas is now putting a pause on reopening. covid-19 has been declining in some early hotspots like
12:50 pm
new york. let's bring in dr. marc siegel. dr. siegel, great to see you. the infection rate is climbing around the country. i looked in johns hopkins and the death rate has truly plummeted. is that an encouraging sign? are you worried about infections or are you more buoyed by the fact that the death rate is dropping so drastically? >> trace, both are true. i'm concerned about the increasing infections in these states that you mentioned but also encouraged by the decreasing death rate. to give you an idea what we're talking about here, in california over 7,000 new cases the past 24 hours. the deaths at 52. very, very low. in texas, you just talked about over 5,000 new cases, but 24 deaths. in florida, over 5,000 cases and about 42 deaths. very low. here's the problem. you look at texas. we're seeing a lot of young people being diagnosed because they're coming out with early
12:51 pm
mild symptoms or they're being screened because they're going back to work or because they're going into the hospital for a procedure. so mild cases are being found. the trouble is in texas, hospitalization rates are up. from everything from what you would expect. surgeries, heart attacks and also covid-19. what we call surge capacity, trace, in texas is a huge problem. the icus are about full, which is why the texas governor is now saying whoa, we have to stop elective surgeries and stop moving forward on opening. hospitalizations is what we look at. fewer deaths. i like that. the hospitalization rate going up is concerning. >> trace: when you talk about the younger people getting coronavirus in some states like florida, texas, california, has the average ages come down here is that an encouraging sign because it means we have found a way to protect the most vulnerable? >> that is a really great point. it's a sign that people are not

taking proper physical distancing, social distancing precautions that are young. you reopen the bars, everybody is huddling together. maybe we're doing a better job of cocooning people, keeping them out of the way when they have high risk symptoms and elderly. we have to do that. this is a sign of education. also, i think some of the treatments are working. we're figuring out how to approach covid-19 now. in the hospital, using blood thinners. using anti-inflammatory, steroids. usi using remdesivir. hopefully with contract tracing we can keep people from infecting the high risk groups. >> what i'm hearing you say, we're getting better at this covid-19 thing all across the board except for some of the younger people, you know, doing their best to stay apart. >> exactly.
12:53 pm
this, by the way, exactly right, trace, this may be something about why it's better that we relieve the lockdowns now. because people lost their jobs, they got very anxious, increase the risk of depression and suicide. we have to give back to the medical care because we're going to lose lives from cancer and heart disease if we don't have our hospitals open. somehow we have to educate the young. we have to find a way to communicate to our young adults and teens that they're part of the picture here. that they could spread it to grandma and grandma could die. that's the message we have not gotten across. >> trace: dr. marc siegel, thank you. great insight. >> thank you. >> trace: boat dealers say business is booming as peel change their summer travel plans during the pandemic. we'll have a live report on the boost in boat sales next. 1 in 2 kids is underhydrated.
