>> the nation's monuments have some new protection this weekendment the president signing an executive order to, quote, not allow violent mobs incited by radical fringe to decide what can and cannot be celebrated in public places and he's backing it up with the threat of long prison sentences for those who destroy america's monuments. i'm leland vittert in washington. gillian, good to be with you. >> good to be with you, too, leland. being out and about covering rallies and protests and each

seem to be barricaded in with chain link fences. leland: and there is discussion how to protect monuments and we'll be back to south carolina later. gillian: we will. it great to be with everybody at home. president trump is now accusing many state and local governments of losing the ability between free speech and what he's calling unvarnished vandalism. david spunt is tracking the president's reaction from the white house. david. >> gillian, good afternoon to you, the president is golfing at his club and he canceled a trip to bedminster because he want today stay in washington and law enforcement when it comes to statues and federal property. yesterday he signed an executive order that protects some of the federal property and monuments, threatening to take away from cities and towns that do not enforce the order

and protect the statue. earlier this week, people put chains on the statue of andrew jackson and minutes later, authorities blocked off the statue. president trump tweeted this to 80 million followers that shows 15 people wanted for vandalizing that jackson statue on monday. destruction of federal property could bring up to 10 years behind bars if convicted. yesterday i had a chance to take an exclusive tour of the fbi operations center at j. edgar hoover building in washington where agents are watching vandalism across the country and i also spoke with fbi director chris wray. >> the violence and destruction of property we've been seeing in certain parts of the country is illegal and it needs to stop now. equal justice is essential, but violence and destruction of property is not the way to

ensure it. >> the white house also looking at coronavirus cases increasing across the country. no doubt, a spike in states like arizona, florida, also texas. there, things are so bad, governor gregg abbott made the decision to close bars and he may close more. you're seeing the video yesterday of the first public coronavirus briefing in about two months following a coronavirus task force meeting. >> you have an individual responsibility to yourself, but you have a societal responsibility because if we want to end this outbreak, really end it, and then hopefully when a vaccine comes and puts the nail in the coffin, we've got to realize that we are part of the process. >> on that video there you saw dr. deborah birx taking off her mask before she talked, and dr. fauci also wears a mask and president trump and vice-president mike pence are

getting heat for not wearing a mask. mike pence says it's a personal choice. and the c.d.c. guidelines recommending that people wear a mask. gillian: it's good to see that the task force is still together although you don't hear them at the white house briefing anymore. leland: with regard record cases in some states. a look at how it's impacting the economy. mr. scalia, appreciate you taking the time on a saturday. i remember taking this chair in saturday back in march and we were talking about 15 days of shutting down businesses, to quote, slow the spread. we're now in late june, almost july and parts of texas are shutting down once again. is it time to admit that the economic effects of this and thus, the economic subsidies to

help with those are going to have to go on for a lot longer than we originally thought? >> well, i think we did slow the spread and we did flatten the curve of, which was the objectives that were taken march, april and for lot of the country in may, too, and we made tremendous progress both in containing the virus and also in building up our medical capacity so that there are flareups, leland, we're ready to contend with them. we always knew the virus would still be around. we are reminded by what's going on in some cities, there are still circumstances that call for care, caution, because the virus is still here, but we're reopening safely and successfully throughout the country, putting millions of people back to work. leland: millions of people are going back to work. there's also millions of people or hundreds of thousands people now who have gone back to work who are not going to be able to go back to work anymore. they're going to be employed by

businesses that are going to have to shut down again. in texas, in florida, there's talk much new shutdowns in arizona, stay-at-home suggestions if not orders perhaps coming in los angeles. so is there going to need to be another round of ppp or the $600 unemployment top-up insurance? is that going to have to happen now? >> well, i think there's a need above all, leland, for people to continue to exercise self-discipline and caution, social distancing, masks in many circumstances. in terms of what might be done with further legislation, some of the programs that you've mentioned are going to expire at the end of the july. i think there will be discussions as that approaches about whether additional measures are needed. the unemployment benefit you mentioned was an important thing to be doing as we closed our economy. that $600 a week additional federal benefit. but i think as we reopen the economy, we're not going to want to continue that particular benefit, but i think

there's a good discussion to be had whether there are measures we still will need. leland: you were down in texas earlier this week talking to business leaders in dallas. here is what noted dallas businessman mark cuban has to say. >> when there's a problem you step up and you provide comfort, and you provide details, so we can make decisions about our health and about the economy. he hasn't done that. leland: he he's referring to is the president. and i didn't imagine that the shut down is a viable option as the governor is ordering. >> there, again, is need to be careful about the virus, but there's lot of good stuff going on in our economy and that's what a lot of my discussion with the business leaders was about. we had a jobs report in may

that was stupendous. we're seeing record level increases, same thing with new home construction. there's a lot of really positive signs and i heard a lot of optimism about reopening and reopening safely and that was a conversation in texas earlier this week. so, i think, again, this week was also good for american workers. the president signed a couple of orders, monday signed that order to suspend further immigrant workers so we can get americans all back to work and then friday signed a really important order about the federal government not requiring college degrees for jobs where they're not needed. leland: interesting. >> two-thirds of americans don't have a college degree so this opens the federal government to more workers. i think there are a lot of of really good things going on, good for american workers, but the virus is still something we keep an eye on. leland: interesting what you said about the college degrees. we are going to have you back and what that might mean and those jobs that ought to make a

difference. mr. secretary, appreciate you taking the time on a saturday. all the best, sir. >> my pleasure, thank you, leland. leland: a little more as the coronavirus continues to spread and expand in a number of cities. chris wallace talks with a former c.d.c. director on fox news sunday. you'll want to check your local listings for time and channel on that. on media buzz, howard kurtz takes a look how the cases continue to rise, that's 11 a.m. eastern on fox news channel. gillian: protesters in seattle's chop zone are resisting efforts to remove barriers, clean up and move people out of there who have been camped out for weeks. claud claudia cowan joins us from the zone in seattle. >> there was a meeting with the mayor yesterday, but there are still no clear answers as to what will happen here next and now an uneasy truce has settled

over the chop area after a tense standoff. city workers came with flatbed trucks to remove some of the barricades that helped black lives matter and others establish the occupation's footprint. those crews were blocked by protesters and some of whom had guns. police gave the order to pull back and without removing anything. and the mayor released a statement, safety is the first priority. and many don't buy that, after 19 days there is still no police presence here. and the latest frustration for john mcdermott whose shop was vandalized by chop last weekend. despite repeated calls to 911, no one game. >> our hope was they'd come in and clean this mess up and get our streets back and city back. and we'd get our police force

back. it's unbelievable. i have no words. >> mcdermott and others are demanding action from the mayor who met with activists yesterday. they reportedly decided that the city could remove some barricades tomorrow. unclear if protesters who couldn't get into that meeting and there were many who tried, will let that happen peacefully anyway. and now, a second federal lawsuit accuses the mayor, as well as the governor, jay inslee, of basically abandoning this area, and violating the constitutional rights of people who live and work here in the capitol hill neighborhood. so far no response to either of these federal lawsuits from any city leaders. gillian. gillian: claudia cowan live from seattle. thank you. leland: aalarming milestone, perhaps. the united states has recorded a new record spike in

coronavirus cases this week. some records set today, as a matter of fact. the numbers are rising in several states around the south and western part of the united states. steve harrigan live in atlanta, the home of the c.d.c. with more. hi, steve. >> leland, texas and florida, both early to reopen aggressively are now taking steps backwards, putting in more restrictions, especially on bars. over the last week alone, florida has seen a 70% increase in the number of new cases since memorial day, florida has seen more than a 500% increase in new cases. the governor of texas saying now he regrets allowing, especially bars to open up so early and the problem spreading not just in texas and in florida, but six states on friday, recording single day records for the number of new cases, including idaho, kansas, south carolina, oregon, utah, and florida. on friday in the u.s., a record reached 45,000 new cases on

friday, that beat thursday's wednesday which in turn beat wednesday's record. three days in a row, bad news. and dr. fauci said this is going to require a new nation-wide effort. if we don't distinguish the outbreak, sooner or later, even ones that are doing well are going to be vulnerable to the spread. so we need to take that into account because we're all in it together and the only way we're going to end it is by ending it together. >> american airlines announced as of july 1st, its flights will be full and they'll be selling all tickets, no longer blocking off seats for social distancing. leland, back to you. leland: yeah, different airlines taking a different approach on that. steve harrigan in atlanta. thank you. gillian. gillian: well, joining us to talk about the local impact of this nationwide spike that's prompting a whole slew of states hitting pause on reopening plans, is from

florida and texas senators, both florida and text exseeing what health experts are seeing alarming spikes in cases, gentlemen, thanks for joining us on this saturday. nathan. >> thanks for having me. >> you bet. nathan, you said when it comes to the state of texas, the state didn't reopen too late. the state got ready for the virus too late. what do you mean by that, exactly? >> well, i mean, people have a big debate whether or not we opened too early and it's kind of an unanswerable question. what we know is that the shutdown was crushing our economy, that's not good for us in any respect whatsoever. what we could have done is gotten ready sooner, with testing, we're not close to where we need to be with contact tracing. the public is receiving inconsistent messages and hasn't been able to understand the level of individual personality responsibility that's due here.

we're wonder if uncle google or aunt apple are going to save us or the sunshine, none of it is. it's going to take a concerted effort on the side of the side and we can have our economy humming without another crushing shutdown. gillian: so ray, florida and governor desantis' managing of the outbreak there has been a flash point for months across the country. at first he was roundly criticized for staying open too late and then it turned out for quite a while there, florida's trajectory looked good compared to other states and now it looks like it's spiking again. what's your assessment what's happening on the ground? >> well, i think it's important to put the spike into context. while it is true that we've had more positive cases and the rate of positive cases has increased, if you look at how many require hospitalization, that rate has remained constant. if you look at those hospitalized how many require

intensive care, that's declining. if you look at the death rate. that's declining. we have to look at the context, the amount of people testing positive, that's driven by young people, young people mainly asymptomatic. we're reacting to that, yesterday we closed down bars because it was clear that the social distancing effort in those areas were not working. so, we're taking the steps to move forward, but the answer is not to shut down the economy again. we have to balance both, the health of our citizens and the health of our economy. >> and gillian. >> nathan-- >> go ahead ray -- go ahead, nathan, i'm sorry. >> he said something in the context of young people and think about the fact if you're sitting in a canoe and it's filling with water the fact na it hasn't gone under doesn't mean you're okay. we're not okay, we still have hospital and icu capacity, but that's local. a hospital bed in lufkin is not going to help me in dallas and

we've got to look at trends, too, make sure that we start this right now. gillian: it's a good point. one of the reasons i wanted to have you on is because you talk a lot about personal responsibility. to look at the bright side here, not just florida and texas, but the entire nation is in a better position now vis-a-vis a few months ago, by the fact that we ordinary americans who aren't public health officials or medical officials know how to protect ourselves. >> it's helpful and allows people to do the things that floridians, texasens and throughout the nation. >> i think there's been a hyper politicalization of this issue which is unnecessary. we'll hit the point even if we don't have great contact tracing, i hope we get there, we can do it ourselves. when somebody knew she had

this, she contacted everybody she had been close to. we need to do in in addition to the state. gillian: we've got to leave it there unfortunately. we're out of time. thank you for talking to us and giving us insight into what's going on, on the hot seat. we'll have you both back on. thank you very much. >> thank you. leland: the president cutting the troops in afghanistan. when he might make a decision next. n't keep track of regrets and i don't add up the years, but what i do count on... is boost high protein... and now, there's boost mobility... ...with key nutrients to help support... joints, muscles, and bones. try boost mobility, with added collagen. tvwhere we've got the best to odeals on refrigerators, microwaves, gas ranges and grills. and if you're looking for... (grilled cheese sizzles) (timer chimes)

>> multiple senior diplomatic sources have told fox news, the trump administration is hoping and planning to bring about 3,000 u.s. troops home from afghanistan by the fall, just a couple of months from now. most of the nation's attention has really been focused on coronavirus these past few months, but u.s. national security is more crucial today than perhaps ever before. mark meredith has the latest on this new news. mark. >> gillian, we're watching that development and the growing outrage over this new york times report that shows that u.s. intelligence officials believe that a russian military unit was basically providing money for taliban fighters to

target u.s., as well as international soldiers on the ground in afghanistan. now, this bombshell report comes as they try to piece together exactly what's been going on on the ground, but they believe to be the taliban-linked fighters have been around for several months at least and it's unclear whether or not any u.s. troops may have been killed as a result of the efforts. at the time the president and the white house officials were briefed about this just a couple of months ago. the president repeatedly said he takes a tougher stance on russia than president obama. critics claim he does the opposite. and speaking out virginia senator tim kaine, president trump was cozying up to putin and g7 all the troops were trying to kill u.s. in afghanistan. and tweeting that the accusations are putting his own personnel at risk. the former ambassador to russia tweeted overnight he wants to know more.

he tweeted, quote, i hope we get to hear from pompeo, esper and o'ryan on this derelict duty to defend american soldiers, i really do. the trump administration attempts to draw down the number of sources in afghanistan and hoping to bring the number down to 5,000 by the fall and the president called for the presence in afghanistan. gillian. gillian: nor no time to return to campaign promises, and no better time than when you're on the campaign trail. leland: and polls showing joe biden taking over president trump in key states. and with that we bring in aaron. appreciate you being here.

before we get into the polls. does this open up a new flank for the president to get hit over russia if he's not responding when the russians are paying for u.s. troops to be killed? >> there has been no one stronger against russia than president trump, increasing sanctions. when you heard under the obama-biden administration that they were saying as soon as they want a second term, they could be more flexible with russia. the contrast is clear, president trump has-- >> i've heard that argument before. nobody, i'm assuming you're not going back as far as ronald reagan who was sponsoring the killing of hundreds if not thousands of russian soldiers in afghanistan, but i'm going back to this article here. do you think the president can afford not to respond and not to protect u.s. troops if the russians are paying for them to be killed? >> president trump has taken care of the u.s. troops. he is trying to end endless--

he's rebuilt the military and holding russia to account like no one has. he's the strongest and national security ever. leland: ever. well, okay. let's look at how the voters are thinking about that though. we go down to texas where the president won by almost double digits. and biden wins by 1 is percentage point if the election were held today. this does not exactly bode well, does it? >> we feel very good about where we are on the campaign and president trump's standing. democrats always paint this great hope for texas, but i would ask you how that worked out for senator robert o'rourke, wait, he lost. we feel good about our ground game in texas and about the fact that-- >> erin, we know that beto

o'rourke lost and closer than any senate had been-- and ted cruz had to spend millions and millions and millions of dollars and the president had to go down there for rallies, which should have been a safe senate seat. let's talk about the senate race there, john cornyn beat either of the two democratic channel challengers by 10 plus points. how do you explain that cornyn is up by 10 points and the president is down by 1? >> what i would explain is the fact that we know that texas is going to go for president trump. we know that this is a poll that registered not likely voters and that changes the dynamic. over sampling of democrats versus undersampling of republicans, when president trump has a 94% approval rating within the republican primary, process so far. leland: erin. >> no, anytime you take away a republican and--

>> i understand questioning the methodology and we've heard this from the campaign for a long time. get back to the campaign. if the president is popular, why is the republican senator leading a democrat in the same poll that the president is losing to joe biden by 1 point. >> we don't give them credibility, because they didn't pan out in 2016 either. we look at the states we're tracking and go against and actually define joe biden, that's the difference, define joe biden. president trump wins every time. leland: the definable joe biden is the key that you all have been bringing up. we'll see if that plays out as the president tries to define him. we know that that's been an effort the past few days, especially during the tulsa rally. erin, we appreciate the time. thank you. >> thank you. leland: gillian. gillian: well, calls are still pointing for the removal of the emancipation memorial. that's here in the nation's

capital, two days after protesters were first slated to tear it down. lucas tomorrlinson is in lincol park with the latest. >> and gillian, some thought the statue should be torn down, but today, it still stands. we'll have more after the break. way driver. they're going to be paying for this for a long time. they will, but with accident forgiveness allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident, even if it's your fault. cut! sonny. was that good? line! the desert never lies. isn't that what i said? no you were talking about allstate and insurance. i just... when i... let's try again. everybody back to one. accident forgiveness from allstate. click or call for a quote today.

morning. the president trump and the fbi called for calm. >> my expectations is we'll continue to protect these memorial day and monument and should congress or anyone else want to change them, through appropriate channels, we'll certainly comply. >> the fbi recognizes the rights of our american citizens to exercise their first amendment rights, however, when it crosses into illegal activity, it's something that we have to address. >> d.c.'s mayor agrees and says she doesn't want to see any more memorials torn down. >> what i think we all need to do with statues is kind of have a reasonable conversation on statues and other references of 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. >> while things remained relatively calm here in washington, a different story a few hours south in richmond,

virginia. these were launched at the police department. one bystanders was struck with fireworks richmond says 10:30 last night a mob was ordered to leave the robert e. lee monument due to paint fired at police officers and one was struck. this statue shows abraham lincoln with a slave, saying it was paid. and chris wallace sits down well nor holmes norton. gillian. gillian: lucas, live from lincoln park. thank you. leland: all right, we bring in the radio talk show most. good to see you. we didn't plan it this way.

over your shoulder is the statue of wade hampton who sits outside of the state house in south carolina. where does the debate lie in the south about these statues coming down? and how much, if any, force has been excertificaerted to bring n and how much force exerted to keep them up? >> today is the day that south carolina celebrates our victory over the victory. and this was a general during the time. con if he had rassy, but on the same state house grounds you cannot see in the site behind me, a monument to an astronaut killed in the challenger disaster. there's a lot of honoring of

history from every era and folks from every race and background. there's been tension in south carolina, in certain cities, name had i charleston over certain statues dating before the time of the civil war, but in south carolina we have laws in the books to effectively protect the monuments in the state. you have to go through legislative approval to remove those. it's called a heritage act and i think it's going to be a topic in the next legislative session. as it stands right now, tearing the stations down without the state law is a felony. leland: so this brings up an interesting point because south carolina sort of went through this national trauma in a much, much more viceral way with the church,' manual shooting and nikki haley led through flying the confederate flag, how and where it should be displayed and on. what were the lessons learned from that that somehow was able to be resolved without rioting and without burning american

flags on the faces of statue and the like that america should take? >> well, here in south carolina, leland, and in light of that horrific incident at the emanuel a & e church. we saw charlestonions of all race pull together. and i would say a strong faith community, people of faith said look, we forgive you in jesus' name and reconciliation from a faith perspective from the governor on down and i think that kept tensions from spilling over. i supported the removal of the confederate flag from the state house grounds, but i don't support scrubbing the state. regardless of race or background, we learn lessons from history good and bad and we honor our history in south carolina and i think that we are a model for the rest of the country that you can have differing opinions of history and different items from history and still get along in the 21st century.

speaking to somebody who has a slightly different idea of how history should look, reverend al sharpton, take a listen. >> in effect asking black americans, brown americans, and all americans to pay to help to extol people that fought, literally fought to keep their forefathers enslaved. that's an insult to all of us. how would a world war ii veteran feel about paying taxes to have a statue of mussolini or hitler in their public square? >> the floor is yours. >> well, what i would say in response to reverend sharpton is we have a lot of monument being torn down, including the freedman memorial in washington d.c., folks that supported emancipation. so this is all beyond the notion that these are hall white supremacists being torn down. there are people who did not support slavery and i think

that things are conflated. people are saying, okay, we understand what happened in minneapolis needs to be prevented ever happening again. we need to reform to ensure that every american's rights are protected, but what we're doing is seeing an effort of scrubbing american history. and that's the cancel culture marxist idea and that's dangerous. when you start canceling history, that's a dangerous precedent. leland: we'll put up a quick picture of the emancipation monument, still standing. and law enforcement not too far away. josh, you bring up a good point in terms of how much history this movement is asking to erase, it goes far, far beyond anything to do with the confederacy. we always appreciate you making an effort on a saturday. the best to your family. >> thank you, sir. always good to be with you. leland: take care. gillian: coronavirus cases are

spiking in the state of arizona, but the university of arizona says they've developed an antibody test that could be a game changer. we'll talk to the university's president up next.

i'm still discovering what's next. and still going for my best. even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib... ...not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'm reaching for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? i'm on board. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily- -and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk

if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. ask your doctor about eliquis. and if your ability to afford... ...your medication has changed, we want to help.

...your medication apps except work.rywhere... why is that? is it because people love filling out forms? maybe they like checking with their supervisor to see how much vacation time they have. or sending corporate their expense reports. i'll let you in on a little secret. they don't. by empowering employees to manage their own tasks, paycom frees you to focus on the business of business. to learn more, visit paycom.com for people with heart failure taking entresto, it may lead to a world of possibilities. entresto helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren,

university of arizona president, dr. robert robbins. thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. i want to ask you about this antibody test first because the university says it's the best one out there. they're also going to offer it to student and faculty for free. is this something that could be a model for the rest of the nation? >> yeah, i think so, gillian. thank you for having me on your show this morning. it's afternoon where you are. i do believe that the antibody test will be important, but the basics of washing your hands, covering your face and staying properly physically distant away from people will take care of a lot of the trans mission of covid-19. but we also are going to vigorously test our students on the campus in the fall. i'm a big fan. antibody testing so that we can

determine the incidence of the disease. for the real-time testing, i think we'll grab toward antigen testing, point of care testing, a good screening test, but of course, the diagnostic, most accurate test is the r -- test to find out if they have the virus in real-time. gillian: what happens-- of course we hope that when students return in the fall things go according to play and numbers so copesettic. let's say there's an outbreak then. meaning you probably don't want to divulge your plans. do you keep students on campus, separate from one another. send them home? what's the general kind of thrust for the plan? >> when i said we're coming back august 24th, our plan is still to have students come

back on august 24th. if it were today though with the number of cases that are in arizona with our hospital, icu beds and rates the way they are, we think it would be irresponsible except on a limited basis. we have research labs and we're starting to bring back our athletes and our rotc students. so, for a small number of students who are going to be vigorously tested, i think it will be okay. but we really need to get out of the peak that we're in in arizona right now because there's just not enough capacity in our hospitals. if we were to get the curb back to a lower flattened level and we were to bring people back, say, all 45,000 students august 24th, if we hit the--

which we are going to hit a second peak, a second wave in the fall, during influenza season, then, if we get overwhelmed with the number of beds that we have allocated for isolation, and our infirmary and certainly our hospitals, then we would simply have to close down and send everyone back home. gillian: is it worth the risk? i mean, obviously the university thinks so because they're going to move forward with that. but what's the harm in having students do classes and lectures and everything on zoom for another semester? are you worried about losing too many students? >> well, i'm not so much worried about losing the students to other places because everyone's going to be in the same boat we're in. i just think that face-to-face experience we've heard from our students that they want to be here. many of our faculty want to get back in the classroom. others, however, are have anxiety and they don't want to be on the front line like our

health care workers are every day. so, yeah, i think the experience is one that people want. i think it's rich. we're social -- we're social individuals. we want to be together so i think that being back to campus is a good place to be. gillian: well, we wish you the best of luck. we'll check back with you in the fall semester. thank you for your time today. >> thank you, gillian. leland: and there is a thick cloud of dust from the saharan desert travelling all the way across the southeastern united states. what it means for hurricane season when we come back. cancer won't wait. it won't wait for a convenient time or for hospitals to get back to normal again. that's why, at cancer treatment centers of america, we aren't waiting. we're right here, still focused on the only thing we do, providing world-class cancer care, all under one roof.

>> dust from the sahara desert over 5,000 miles away is striking the southeastern united states this weekend. nasa says that dust does typically make its way to the western hemisphere. this is the thickest the cloud has been in over 50 years. it's impacting air quality and states that are already battling the coronavirus pandemic. take a look at those images. leland: hard to see what they're imams of. there's so much dust. meteorologist adam klotz live

with the fox news extreme weather center. adam, now we have extreme dust, what does it mean for hurricane season? >> well, leland, it's actually good news for hurricane season. that dust layer is very, very dry air, as it sweeps off the coast of africa, that provides a dryness in the air that stops the development of tropical activities, the big cyclones. there you see the dust working across the ocean and the latitude where we typically see tropical activity begin to stir up. right now that air is very, very dry, settling in across the desert southeast and there will be rounds of dust in the air and makes the sky very hazy and it could cause breathing conditions for sensitive groups, the elderly or very young and then it makes beautiful, beautiful sunsets so there's a glass half fall as far as this goesment otherwise, a quick look at temperatures across the country. leland, it's going to be a hot one today in the middle of the country, running up into the

90's, so, even another reason to maybe stay inside with that dust and that extreme heat. leland: one could imagine that doesn't do well with people's allergies if you're running out in the middle of the day. adam. thanks. see you all week on fox and friends, my friend. >> thank you. leland: gillian. gillian: well, president trump has decided to stay in washington this weekend, not head to bedminster, new jersey. he says he's keeping put in order to keep law and order in the nation's capital. we'll have a live report from the white house coming up next. e table until your finished. fine, we'll sleep here. ♪ it's the easiest because it's the cheesiest. kraft. for the win win. ..

show of force in 10 years in jail. >> reporter: donald trump has made this a corner point for his in washington to enforce law and order and make sure no federal property is destroyed. it has been an active week in washington, the president with 80 million followers, a wanted poster with 15 people wanted for questioning, vandalizing federal property specifically the andrew jackson statue across the street from where i am. vandals put chains around the statue of the seventh president, andrew jackson, tried to pull it down with no luck him of a spray-painted killer on the base of the statue. the president signed an

executive order protecting monuments like president jackson, threatened to take federal funding a way to local cities and towns that do not enforce the order, they could face prison time for up to 10 years. folks at the white house including top brass also dealing with this second resurgence of coronavirus. many cases are increasing in states in the south, texas, louisiana, georgia, arizona. there's a lot of pushback from the white house because they are getting criticism especially mike pence and donald trump for not wearing a mask in public, donald trump wore a mask briefly in public when he took a tour of the factory in michigan but that was behind-the-scenes, cameras were not able to shoot video of that, the vice president has worn a mask in the past, since donald trump was not at the briefing by the coronavirus task force, sitting up or example by not wearing masks, specifically talked about this

right here, last week at a rally in tulsa, the majority of people now question were maskless. >> freedom of speech, the right to peaceably assemble is enshrined in the constitution of the united states and we have an election coming up this fall, donald trump and i believe taking proper steps, we created screening at recent events and giving people the best counsel that we have. >> recognize this guy? dick cheney with a mask on but his daughters is dick cheney wears a mask, real men wear masks, that could be a swipe at the white house but this issue of wearing masks is central to the campaign, joe biden wants

to make mask wearing mandatory, donald trump and vice president pence continue not to wear masks despite cdc guidelines indicating americans should be wearing masks. leland: the dred reported that is picking up that picture of the vice president enjoying beautiful time in the summer. >> coronavirus case a spiking, 30% across the country, the state of nebraska seeing fewer new cases, flatlining cases, and also the fourth lowest number of fatalities in the nation, nebraska's governor pete ricketts, the report card for your state, covid-19 report card appears pretty good. we have also got this going on in phase 3 so you're ahead of a lot of other states, managing to get ahead with reopening and keeping cases static.

do you deserve the credit for that? is that why you are here with us? >> i don't deserve credit for that. the credit belongs to the nebraskans, a state that did not order a stay-at-home order but we asked nebraskans to take steps for social distancing, campaign for staying healthy and stay connected, got them to do social distancing in public, we ask them to wear masks, people who are not regularly around, they've done the right thing, to make sure we control the spread of the virus in the state. it is all about making sure we guarantee the hospital bed or icu bed to anybody who meets up when they need. >> we commend the state success

managing the outbreak. you have been front and center in the debate about facemasks, you don't believe they should be mandated and businesses who do mandate them should not be eligible for public care funds. tell us your thinking on that. >> the county governments, many county government shutdown during the pandemic, we reimbursement on the cares act, open for business on a non-appointment basis, taxpayers paying their bills and services would be able to get access so it is a good idea to wear masks when you go in public or go to the store, where masks but we are not going to make requirements to receive government services when you walk into a county, you should pay for them already and get those services.

>> a fox news poll this week looks like the majority of americans, republican and democrat you can see the numbers, 89% of democrats, 68% of republicans have a favorable opinion of people who wear masks. the implicit information buried in those numbers, we know enough now to understand the purpose of masks to protect other people, you your self may not feel vulnerable to the virus but the point is to protect other people around us who may be vulnerable. what is the harm in mandating people where facemasks? >> what we have done in nebraska and one of the reasons we have been successful is we haven't used the heavy hand of government to tell people what to do. we didn't do a stay-at-home order, we asked people to do the right thing and by and large they've done it in the same will be true with masks,

we won't mandate people where masks, use their best judgment on how they do that. every one of my press conferences start with go to the store, where a mask, when i talk on the radio, washing hands, wear a mask. we are reinforcing the message wearing a mask is a good idea but i'm not one of those people who thinks government should mandate these things. people should exercise their personal responsibility and remember we are all part of the community and in nebraska by asking people to do the right thing we have been successful. >> we wish you the best moving forward and hope you managed to keep those cases flatlining. appreciate your time on a saturday. we appreciate it. leland: back to the protests continuing around the country,

perhaps the end of what seattle's mayor called the summer of love, tensions in seattle running high as protesters resisting efforts by city workers to clear out parts of chop, the area they have taken over, senior correspondent claudia cowan live outside chop as things have gotten underway at 10:00 this morning. >> reporter: the mood fits as protesters and capitol hill neighbors away for any kind of direction from city leaders, no one seems to know when the occupation will end or when police will return to a precinct building they abandoned 19 days ago, the city says it wants to phase out three block protest zone, that will not be easy. when workers emerged to the barricades, they were met with armed resistance including one agitator who pulled out a gun. a lot of people saw that.

police pulled the plug and nothing was removed. a lot of people who live and work in this neighborhood including some who initially supported the protest. many said they hoped it would be over by today and they get their streets back and their customers back. more than a dozen tenets are taking legal action suing seattle's mayor in a class-action lawsuit. us senator has introduced a bill that would deny federal tax dollars to cities and states that allow autonomous zones like this one after a similar measure was allowed in the house. >> mayors and governors that are abdicating their constitutional duty to protect and provide law enforcement, emergency medical services, fire services to these autonomous zones should lose their federal funding. if they truly want to be autonomous then they can exist without our federal money.

>> jenny durkin met behind closed doors with some prominent activists. no news crews allowed inside, just one local citizen journalist who says the only thing to come out of this meeting with an agreement to allow the city to remove some of the barricades which we will see how that goes over with the more defiant chop protesters who were not part of that meeting. >> the other police still say they are handcuffed by not being able to use right control, teargas and the like. we are watching through the weekend, thank you. joe biden says he does not foresee holding any large-scale campaign rallies ahead of election day in november, doesn't seem to be hurting him too much so far. a slate of new polls show the former vice president is ahead in most of the key battleground states. jackie heinrich joins us with more on the campaign trail. >> recently a local news reporter asked former precise president joe biden if he would

use federal leverage if he were president to mandate mask wearing and he said from an executive standpoint he would. he might sign some sort of executive order and take a listen. >> one thing we do know these masks make a gigantic difference. i would insist that everybody on publicly wearing that mask. anyone can reopen and walk into a business that has masks. >> such a move might prompt considerable pushback from states but polls are showing biden is more trusted by voters and donald trump when it comes to coronavirus concerns. fox news polls show biden leading trump in several key states including battleground florida, georgia, once reliably red, north carolina, biden's light lead in north carolina and georgia are within the margin a but another fox poll shows a concerning trend for trump's reelection campaign with texas, a republican

stronghold on top, biden leads trump by one percentage point with 10% up for grabs in the small subgroup of voters more likely to disapproval trump's job performance been approved of it and these results indicate biden may be chipping away at a key part of donald trump's base. jillian: thank you. >> we begin democratic michigan congresswoman, co-owner chair of the policy communications committee debbie dingell, nice to see you, we appreciate it. you predicted donald trump's 2016 victory especially in michigan against improbable odds. do you feel better going into 2020 with these poll numbers? >> poll numbers are snapshot in time and not an election and many of these polls are misleading.

they could end of suppressing votes, people think their votes don't matter. if the election were held today there is a good chance joe biden could win but did any of us 5 months ago think the world would look like it does now? anything could happen. >> tim alberta, michigander for political magazine came with a long piece as relates to the african-american turnout that did not turn out for hillary clinton in the 2016 election and whether or not it will turn out for joe biden in 2020, specifically in areas around detroit and flint. his conclusion was largely now because that is what voters he talked to and party leaders said. you agree with that assessment? >> the challenge will be to get people out to vote. i have had -- i have been out and about not so smartly as we

see these numbers go up but i foreign my mask and washed my hands, trump voters are, come to me, biden folks are coming up to me at a large number of people, republicans and democrats. we ought to make sure people understand what is at stake, the future does matter and staying at home and not voting will determine what the country looks like. >> alberta has had an unusually good finger on the pulse of both sides going back to 2016. what drove donald trump's voters and what is driving joe biden's voters. if you look appalling, florida is not michigan but it brings up an important point as relates to joe biden and one that you have a unique thought about, biggest motivation in the vote for president fear of other candidates 58% for biden supporters, only 36% have great enthusiasm for their candidate whereas 69% of trump supporters

say they have enthusiasm for their candidate. does that speak to the enthusiasm issue in getting people to the polls, democrats more uniquely face. >> a lot of people have been focused on covid-19 and their economic situation. we have this crisis that has spread across the country, protests etc.. we don't know what will drive people in the fall but i do think they will look, a lot of people see what is dividing this country, they want to feel us come together as americans, not constantly pitted against each other and i think by november you will see a lot of emotional fatigue and people looking for somebody who will heal this country and bring it together and i think that could drive people to the polls. leland: we have not had that kind of healing message from

the former vice president. he has been extremely tough on donald trump and donald trump has been extremely tough back. take a listen. >> i don't want to be nice or a nice. the man can't speak and he is going to be president because some people don't love me maybe and all i'm doing is doing my job. leland: do you worry about biden's continued gaffes for example, 120 million people americans died from covid-19, and the list goes on? >> know. all of us make mistakes. he was sharp as attack until the hour he died. as he died he was dictating something and people are looking for every mistake you make and mistakes get highlighted but i will take -- i can give you one example. we need to all wear masks,

donald trump could save lives if he would just wear a mask. wearing masks is becoming political. scientists around the globe tell us, we need the president to pull us together and be a leader, not divide us. >> that is a refrain that is not new for you. we've heard it for a long time as you have come on this show for many years, all the best. >> where your mask. >> yes, ma'am. jillian? >> police taking on protesters in richmond, the monument featuring robert ely as the protesters fire fireworks at the officers, one person was hit by the fireworks. they are denying they use teargas to clear the area despite several local media reports claiming they had but

they do say pepper spray was deployed. six people including a minor were arrested. leland: new court rulings on immigration policy including one that involved children in federal custody. details when we come back. hey. hold on one second... sure. okay... okay! safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! check it out. safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! he's here. he's right here. - hi! - hi. hey! - that's totally him. - it's him! that's totally the guy. safe drivers do save 40%. click or call for a quote today.

leland: resin citizens are voting on changing the constitution to allow vladimir putin to stay in power until 2036. the voting is largely seen as symbolic of the changes have already been approved by the russian parliament and signed into law by vladimir putin but the russians are going through the motions of the polls they say will be open until july 1st. jillian: federal appeals court ruling against the administration immigration policies including transferring funds to build the border wall. christina coleman has more from la. >> reporter: the ninth circuit court of appeals said the administration illegally sidestepped congress with a transfer of $2.5 billion for military funds to build part of the wall at the southern border, the court writing in its opinion, quote, surely when

congress withheld additional funding for the border wall it intended to withhold additional funding for the wall regardless of its source, no means now. this is the latest turn in the ongoing fight between a coalition of border states and environmental groups over the wall. trump has argued the wall is needed to prevent drug smuggling and other illegal activities. last july the supreme court allowed the $2.5 billion used for the wall while litigation continues and tuesday donald trump was in yuma, arizona to mark the completion of the 2 hundredth mile of the wall during his administration. another hit to the trump administration and immigration policy a federal judge ordered the release of children held with their parents for more than 20 days at three family detention centers operated by ice in texas and pennsylvania, citing the spread of covid-19 in two of two facilities, the concerns of a potential risk for further spread saying,

quote, the family residential centers are on fire and there is no more time for half measures. the judge ordered the children to be released from their parents by july 17th. jillian: thank you. leland: princeton university is removing president woodrow wilson's name from the public policy school and one of the residential colleges, wilson led the us world war i nation, you should the federal reserve bank, it was also university president for eight years. the ivy league school of board of trustees says, quote, woodrow wilson's racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake, he was instrument of an resegregation the federal government during his time in washington. i got a note from a noted and successful princeton alum with ties to that school's administration and board who says even the woodrow wilson

was a terrible human being i am furious, he had up until now been a rare academic leader willing to stand up against the woke leftist mobs overrunning american college campuses and now he is just another campus coward. you will have to wait and see what happens from the alumni here and whether any of them vote with their pocketbooks which we've seen happen in the past. jillian: presumably people will have a say to vote with their checkbook one way or another. the wilson school was a great school, i almost applied there myself for my masters degree but ended up not. leland: i knew there was no chance of me getting in. jillian: a great school for those interested in government and foreign affairs and foreign policy, they will do well now matter what.

leland: interesting things to say about the wilson school, youtube, we move on as protesters continue their calls to defend the police, city council has taken the first step toward dismantling the department. what it means when we come back.

jillian: minneapolis city council took a step yesterday toward defunding the city police department. aishah hasnie shows us what is next. >> big actions taken across the country, in new york city the occupy city hall movement continues for a fourth day in a row, hundreds of protesters camping out until the city

defend the nypd budget by $1 billion and reinvest that money into education, social services, mayor bill diblasio has not given a report to this request, protesters say until tuesday when is the budget -- in minneapolis getting one step closer to abolishing its police department, on friday the city council voted to fast-track a referendum to put on the november ballot that would replace the city's police department with a new department of community safety so this would have a more holistic approach but would still allow some kind of law enforcement element with license police officers. >> this is a precondition to the changes people are asking for. it is a way of reducing barriers that prevented previous councils and previous community efforts from succeeding. >> reporter: not everyone is on

board. mayor jacob trey not behind this truly yet, a lot of questions need some clarification about this and believes in a deeper reform of the current police department. jillian: aishah hasnie in new york, thank you. leland: the fbi want to question a dozen people in the attempt to tear down the statue in front of the white house. federal prosecutors charged more than 6000 people for illegal activity during the george floyd protests. >> the burden right now is on state and local in many places, not stepping up to the plate, not doing their job. leland: they use this picture to track down a restaurant for

torching 5 seattle police vehicles. take a look at her hands, agent 0 on the tattoos on her fingers and from there match the pictures on her own social media posts. one woman accused of burning a police car in philadelphia thought she was in the clear but the fbi tracked her down by matching a t-shirt she bought online, brave new world trying to find these people especially wearing a mask is so commonplace. jillian: we have seen a lot of techniques and technologies rolled out during protests by the federal government, reports about intelligence sharing from unusual avenues across unusual avenues, being used to monitor protesters, there's a lot going on, a lot of folks were critical of the saying the law is going to have to catch up to the technology it hasn't done yet.

>> some questions about whether amazon and other companies restrict law enforcement access. speaking of masks as coronavirus are on the rise, several cities in miami-dade county requiring its residents to wear masks in public at all times. $500 if they deify that mandate. how are you going to enforce this? >> it will be a challenge, requiring people to wear seatbelts, can't make sure everybody wears seatbelts but this requirement the objective is to have people do what is best for themselves, not too different from wearing a seatbelt which will not guarantee survival processes

that increase likelihood they survive a crash. >> masks on tuesday in miami. you talk throughout the time including the time you had coronavirus your self, the spikes that are happening in miami have got to be pretty concerning especially when you consider how drastic the measures you needed to take were back in march and april after spring break. >> they are. impact of that time are high water marks of 132 cases. we hit 1500 cases, 3 times more cases than we hit in late march or early april. leland: 1500 new cases in a day. >> most number of new cases in

a day was 533, 1500 new cases. three times the amount of the deterrent, 18-35-year-old range, for whatever reason not worried about the fact this is a highly contagious -- potentially put them at risk. leland: especially in multigenerational households where it is such an issue. there is a balance as we look at beautiful pictures of miami beach and people swimming, tourists bringing money to your hotels and eating your restaurants, one of the arguments of ron desantis who is defending how florida as a state dealt with this, take a listen. >> every one in the media would think florida was going to be like new york or italy and that has not happened because we

understood, have a big diverse state, we understood the outbreak was not uniform throughout the state and had it tailored and measured approach that not only helped our numbers be way below what anyone predicted but also did less damage to our state going forward. >> that was at the end of april. is he still vindicated with this, the right way to deal with things or do you wish there had been a long lockdown? >> hindsight is always 2020. miami was the last city to open in the state of florida. i got criticized for that. we looked at the data in the data showed a declining number of cases, over a 30 day period, required a declining number of cases, we got twice the amount of time and the number of cases we had open were in the 200 --

>> what is your message to folks who would normally coming to miami to spend money and a lot of that money goes to your economy and a big part of it comes to the city which i know the budget is underwater, what is the decision process here? >> if you come down here just for your own protection, protection of others, do what is right, not too different. leland: so many bars that are popular for folks to be at, for the tourism numbers, a little bit slower. we appreciate your time. to the best. jillian: coronavirus shutdown supposed major interruptions to the programs in the therapies millions of americans with disabilities rely on in order to deliver daily lives. one organization got awesome

>> time for what is usually my favorite segment of the so-called america to gather. we would like to focus on good and inspirational people doing wonderful things during the coronavirus pandemic, shutdowns a bending everyday routines, things that can be important to adults and children. joining us to talk about his organization and all the work they are doing to help people cope during the covid-19 outbreak is ceo david dry. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. jillian: for those who are not familiar with what you do.

>> so they can more fully live and learn, some of that includes pediatric therapy services, children and teens with autism, students with disabilities and military veterans and families at work. >> your programs are pretty wide ranging in terms of the demographic, the age range. >> absolutely. jillian: the types of disabilities, mental and physical the key programs. >> the pediatric therapy services, services to people with autism and employment as well. typically dealing with changes

in environment is turned their world upside down, with a child with autism not only are they not in school or able to attend services that haven't been able to it is disrupting the family and they can't have time to gather outside being with their children, we worked really hard to stay in touch with what we are serving and back to services. a disruption, the key to the development of this child, in their lives and quality-of-life to go for weeks without that. jillian: a conversation most americans are not having. we talk about not having school impacted, it is 10 times harder for children with any

disability not to be in school every day. tell us for viewers interested in getting on board and volunteering or seeking donations supporting organizations what can they do? >> we've been able to move from 400-500 people in telehealth services at a cost. we opened our services with masks and other ppe and the way to get involved, we are providing a lot of services that are not funded at the moment. it doesn't hit the funding structure. you can find the donate button and follow on all social media, we have a campaign called hashtag stay grateful where we are celebrating what our online staff have been able to do to reach out to thousands of people with disabilities so any kind of support, follow us, click on the donate button on our webpage.

for 37 years we have been fighting for survivors of child sex abuse. even in these uniquely challenging times we're still fighting with dedication and devotion.

california law gives survivors a chance to take legal action, but only for a limited time. if you were sexually abused by a priest, scout leader, coach or teacher contact us confidentially today. it's time. leland: europe is opening up from abbreviated summer tourism season but americans are likely not welcome. kitty logan in london has more. >> reporter: looks like it will be difficult for everyone to travel internationally this summer. the eu is drawing up a list of countries who might not be welcome as tourists and the us is said to be not on that list.

it is not official yet but another setback for us tourists in the travel industry as a whole. the reason for this is thought to be high numbers of coronavirus cases in the us currently but also restrictions for travelers from countries entering america, any travelers heading to the uk including us or british citizens now face the 14 day quarantines period. the british government announced exemptions for people arriving from a lower risk countries making it easier for british people to take some holidays to european destinations like france, the hope is in the uk, travel opens up across europe it would avoid scenes like this on british beaches.

boris johnson would warn people to stick to social distancing guidelines after thousands ignored this by heading to the beaches in the hot weather we have had this week. police had to declare that a major incident and another hundred deaths were announced here in the uk bringing the total number of hospital recorded deaths to 84,300. the outbreak here is not over yet. it is not over in journal you -- germany after an outbreak in a meat processing plant led to authorities imposing a new localized lockdown. that raises fears of perhaps a second wave of infections not just in germany but could happen anywhere in europe. people very much on their guard, countries like greece for example welcome tourists back, their economy depends on tourism. the question is given all these

restrictions, does anyone want to go on an international holiday or better to have that staycation. >> people are booking up vacations and record rates to places they want to go. jillian: fears of the ongoing spike in coronavirus cases has not stopped voters in michigan from carrying out their annual positions. we will talk about it next. with less of the sugar you don't.

leland: thousands gather for the annual boat party on lake st. claire in michigan, not far from detroit, comes despite a loot of concerns over the spread of the coronavirus and the hot spot of detroit. party goers do what is called rafting where you tie the boats together and hop from boat to boat to socialize. the event started back in 1974 and one of the top 10 boat parties in the country. gillian: so all we really want to know have you ever done it? these are your people. [laughter] leland: these are my people and no, i haven't, since my mother is watching and who is obviously concerned about my health and coronavirus, no, mom, i would never do something like that in these times. gillian: if you stay socially distant and you're outside and your own boat it can be done

safe. you could if you wanted to. leland: i'm hiring you as my defense attorney and you will have great insights tomorrow on fox news sunday, gillian turner on the panel and we will be back here at 1:00 o'clock eastern. see you tomorrow. eric: well, our country approaching grim milestone in the coronavirus pandemic, one-third of the states across the nation have experienced a rise in covid-19 infections. florida confirming 9600 new cases in a single day, setting record and the state is not alone. texas, california, georgia, south carolina, utah among others. all this forcing some states to hit a pause on reopening as the virus is showing no signs of receding. hello, everyone, i'm eric sean, this is america's news headquarters. hi, arthel. arthel: hi, eric, i'm arthel neville, well, now leaders in texas and florida are reinstating so
