states reporting 10% uptick in new cases over the past week forcing some governors to pause or roll back reopening plans. arizona, michigan, texas and florida all hit especially hard with new infections surging more than 60 or 70% recovering all angles of the story david spunt live at the white house and miami-dade county mayor carlosé. hi, steve. steve: arthel, the south and the west getting particularly hard with coronavirus cases, texas and florida have both had to take a step back and introduce new restrictions on bars overall 12 states in all have either had to pause or tighten their economic restrictions due to spikes in coronavirus cases. 5 states on saturday have set single-day records for new cases, florida, arizona, south

carolina, georgia and nevada, all posting records for saturday. the former head of the cdc said the government needs to take stronger action. >> there's no doubt we are doing more testing, our hospitals are better prepared but there's also no doubt that the virus has the upper hand. this virus is not going to go away on its own. we have to stop it and only we can do that by working together. we are all sick and tired of staying home, but you know what, the virus is not tired of making us sick. steve: cdc teams out across the country where there's outbreaks focusing especially on florida, texas, arizona and california, arthel, back to you. arthel: steve harrigan, thank you very much, we will go to dave spunt. the vice president can meet with greg abbott next hour, what can you tell us about that? david: he will hold coronavirus

briefing, one one of the state t is is seeing resurgence and dr. deborah birx has made the trip. the vice president landed in dallas right now, you see him wearing a mask along with other members of his team also wearing a mask. now when pence touched down, this comes after we confirmed yesterday, he's postponing campaign events in florida and arizona and in the next few days because of the rise in coronavirus cases especially in the south. listen. >> the window is closing. we have to act and people as individuals have to act responsibly, we need to social distance. we need to wear our face coverings if we are in settings where we can't social distance particularly in the hot zones. david: trump campaign is pushing back on washington post where it shows employees at tulsa arena removing social distancing stickers before the president's

arrival. campaign's spokesman telling fox news that everyone that went to rally was adhere to go local guidance, hand sanitizer and also provided with masks though many people in the crowd were not wearing masks, arthel. arthel: and david, the president is also pushing back on a report that russians were paying afghan militants to kill american and allied troops, tell us about that. david: you're right, huge story. "the new york times" out with this report yesterday that russia is paying afghan militant to kill, to hurt, injury any u.s. troops that are in that part of the world. now the president is not pushing back on the allegations made in that article, the core allegation. he's pushing back because "the new york times" mentioned that he was briefed on the matter. he also is pushing back that vice president pence was. he said in a tweet basically nobody briefed or told me, the vice president, chief of staff of the so-called attacks, he calls "the new york times" fake

news and says nobody has been tougher on russia but does raise questions about why the president was not briefed on something like this. now, this morning speaking of twitter, arthel, the president retweeted something that is getting a lot of steam online. a lot of people criticizing him. it was a video of a supporter in villages, florida that a few seconds into the video used term white power, the tweet has since come down but just a couple of hours ago senator tim scott, a close ally of the president had this to say about the offensive tweet. listen. >> there's no question, we could play politics with it or we can't. i'm not going to. i think it's indefensible, we should take it down. that's what i think. david: the president has 82 million followers, it was a retweet and has since come down. i want to put a statement from white house deputy secretary, president trump is big fan of the villages. he did not hear the one statement made on the video. what he did see tremendous

enthusiasm from many supporters, arthel, a lot of news out of the white house today, again, president trump took the tweet down but still a lot of backlash because after all he did retweet it, arthel. arthel: yeah, indeed, a busy day, david spunt, thank you very much. eric. eric: arthel, in florida as we have said officials there trying to get continuing spread of coronavirus under control. that especially ahead of the july 4th weekend. you know, the sunshine state has been hit with record spikes in the past few weeks. in miami-dade county all the beaches and parks will be closed from friday july 3rd to tuesday july 7th, to try to stop the people that have not contained coronavirus so far. miami-dade county mayor carlos giménez from miami. mayor, you take a bar and beach and you get coronavirus, how concerned are you of behavior of people especially young people who seem to be fueling many new cases and did not listen to

either mask wearing or social distancing? >> hello, i'm very concerned and that's why i issued the orders for this holiday weekend. it was a tough decision but i had to make it. i did not want to overcrowd the beaches with young people and we've seen a tremendous spike in positive cases from young people and that's very concerning. so the order to shut down beaches, holiday weekend, also the parks will be closing at 8:00 o'clock, so they'll be no fireworks coming out of park, you watch a firework from your house but not crowds of people. we've always had our bars closed in miami-dade county, we never opened them up and so we also are closing the pools. the public pools and hotel pools will be closed during the holiday weekend. again, because we will see people in pools and so all of those are steps that i've taken in order to start to tamp down the infection rate in miami-dade

county especially among young people because that has been a tremendous spike among young people. eric: mayor, do you think people, especially young people, they have become complacent, well, it's out there, i'm young, i will not get hit, i'm fine, they don't know the devastating aspect of the disease? >> look, it's -- yeah, they think they are invincible and it's not a big deal for them and probably won't be but, you know, even young people that have -- that have bmi's over 30 or young people that have underlying medical conditions, it can be a big problem, but the problem is that they get infected and carry it home to parents or grandparents and then for the parents and grandparents, this disease has got -- you know, very dangerous. that's the problem that we have. we have seen a spike in hospitalizations also. it's gone consistently up and, you know, younger people are going to the hospital too, so we need to practice social distancing and put our masks on

while we are inside. outside if you can't maintain 6 feet social distance, put your mask on, wash your hands, sanitize your hands, don't put your hands on your face and if we just take those simple measures, then we can start reducing the infection rate here in miami-dade. i'm also concerned about private parties, you know, some of it has come with this -- the college, the end of the college year, high schools, you know, they are graduating. i suspect that we had a bunch of parties here in miami-dade county with young people and they did not practice social distancing. they didn't do what they needed to do. eric: we just talked about mask, was it a mistake, was it short-sided not to have a county wide or a state-wide mandate that people should wear masks, officials and health officials say it does cut down on the spread of coronavirus. some people say well, don't infringe on my liberty but that can save grandma, grandpa, do

you think that was a mistake? >> miami-dade county has had a mask order since april 9 and the mask order, even if you're outdoors, if you can't maintain social distancing, you're supposed to have a mask on. every time -- eric: the whole state. you took the precaution, why wasn't it implemented in the whole state? >> the state had different numbers than we did. miami-dade was epicenter in the state of florida and there were some counties that had no cases, reported cases and so i can see why they didn't think it was a big problem in the rest of the state. the governor always knew that, hey, we had -- this was the epicenter here and he allowed us to take decisions here on a local basis and we were much stricter down here in south florida and miami-dade county than in other parts of the state, but we also had a heck of a lot more cases here. look, we've got -- >> eric: in the up handle for a while you had zero. >> yeah.

eric: very few numbers. let's take for a moment, look at the numbers, if you can bring up the full numbers. there they are. in the statewide more than 130,000 infections, more than 3,390 deaths and in your county, miami-dade, 31,000 infections, sadly 947 deaths and more than a thousand every day. according to covid-19 projects they expect 15,000, more than 15,000 deaths by october, 33,000 infections a day, finally, mayor, how can you finally, can you finally get this under control? >> well, the way -- i can't get it under control myself. i need -- it's all of us have to bring it under control. we all have to practice social distancing. we all have to wear masks when we are closer than 6 feet to one another. we all have to wear masks indoors, we all have to wash our hands, sanitize our hands, we all need to, you know, stay away even from loved ones if they don't live in the same household

and we all have to assume that everybody has the virus. look, eric, we may have 30,000 cases here but we have more than 130,000. we have at least 300,000 cases here in miami-dade. the official number is probably underreporting the true number by a factor of 10 or maybe even 20, and so the good news it's not as lethal as people, you know, think it is, but, you know, the bad news is when you have that many people infected just the numbers will -- will eventually end up with a great number of people dying. we have about 900 deaths here in miami-dade county. we have a thousand people in the hospital right now. the good news we have plenty of capacity in system. we have 3,000 hospital beds still available. hundreds of icu's and ventilators still available. but we need to start to practice social distancing, we need to do the things that we have to do so i protect you, you protect me

and we can start to bring this level down and especially young people, you know, you need to act more responsibly because you know what, your parents and your grandparents are at risk and if you love your parents and your grandparents, then you should take a little bit more precautions and stay away from each other. i know it's hard, but we need to do this in order to bring the infection rate down. eric: yeah, that is a great message. it is all up to us from miami-dade county, mayor carlos giménez, mr. mayor, thank you and thank you for what you're doing. >> thank you, eric. eric: arthel. arthel: all right, eric, thank you, the department of justice announcing charges against four men for trying to tear down the statute of president andrew jackson in lafayette square during a demonstration near the white house last week. the acting u.s. attorney for dc warning his office will not tolerate such vandalism, christina coleman following this live from west coast news room.

christina: four men charged in criminal complaint with destruction of federal property. the suspects were caught on video vandalizing the property, one of them on video allegedly attempting to pry the statute and pull it down with yellow strap. another suspect is caught on video destroying the wheels of cannons at the base of the statute and pulling ropes to try to topple it over. the doj announced the charges hours after the president tweet ed 15 times, seeking to identify the people who vandalized the statute and this morning the president tweeted, quote, since imposing a very powerful 10-year prison sentence on those -- that vandalized monuments, et cetera, with many people being arrested all over our country, the vandalism has completely stopped. thank you. and as for the four men now charged with destruction of federal property, one of them has been arrested so far and he will make initial court appearance before u.s. district

court judge in dc tomorrow. arthel. arthel: kristin -- chris, has it completely stopped the vandalism because i understand there's more efforts this weekend to take down or rename some of the statutes? christina: that's right, tensions continue to mount across the country over monuments of confederate leaders, slave owners and other statutes an some deem controversial at this point. washington, d.c.'s congressional delegate eleanor holmes norton will introduce legislation to remove the statute of abraham lincoln standing over a freed slave from dc's lincoln park. now even though the statute was paid for by freed slaves in 1876 some still find demeaning as it depicts kneeling at lincoln's feet. norton encouraged people to deal with frustration over statutes in a nonviolent way. >> we would hope that we would be given the opportunity to do

this in regular order because you have a congress in the house of representatives that is showing willing to do it. i do not endorse vandalism. that's why they send people like me to congress for. christina: also in an effort to stop violence and vandalism president trump signed executive order calling federal authorities to prosecute anyone who vandalizes monument or statute to the fullest extent of the law, arthel. arthel: meanwhile congress wants to make a good point. you have to do this in orderly fashion, no doubt, vandalism not allowed. christina coleman, chris, thanks. eric. eric: arthel, ahead mixed results in congress on passing bills to make police more accountable, will anything get to the president's desk. we are live in washington and later on in newscast i will interview the leader of chicago's fraternal order of

police and how the police are dealing with all the controversy. plus, politicians being charged with mail-in fraud in one state, the worries, the claims, the facts about mail-in voting straight ahead customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i should get a quote. do it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ [♪] when you have diabetes, managing your blood sugar is crucial. try boost glucose control. the patented blend is clinically shown to help manage blood sugar levels. it provides 60% more protein than the leading diabetes nutrition shake.

arthel: well, progress on a police reform bill stalling in congress after the house pass measure failed to gain traction in the senate. this by overwhelming bipartisan demand for change after the deaths of mr. george floyd and other african americans in police custody. mark meredith live in washington with more on this, mark. mark: arthel, good afternoon, lawmakers from both parties agree some police departments need to make some changes, but the same lawmakers are split over how to get it done. as you mentioned last week the house had a chance to approve their own bill on police reform. it had 3 republicans support the effort. the house bill has a number of provisions including effectively banning chokeholds, no-knock warrants in drug cases and eliminates qualified immunity that protects officers from

lawsuits and police use of force. >> the impatience in the streets is why we have the legislation that was passed, policing congress last week. the streets have spoken to the people they send to congress and that's how democracy works. that's what we we want to -- mark: new training, as well as new incentives. scott failed to get enough support from senate democrats to move forward with the measure but possible lawmakers can still reach a consensus. tim: in order for us to have a path forward it requires the house and the senate, democrats and republicans, to feel heard in the process. if there's a path forward, we

should find it. >> mark: i'm sorry, while he's open today some legislation, the house bill is considered a nonstarter for the white house. arthel. arthel: mark meredith, thank you very much. eric. ♪ ♪ >> you get foreign countries, russia, china, especially china. not russia, especially china. are they going to print millions of ballots using the exact same paper, using the exact same machines and are they going to print pa lots and hand them in and all of a sudden, it's the biggest risk we have, the mail-in ballot. eric: well, that was president trump, of course, fox news town hall in green bay last week with disputed warning about voting by mail. the alarm comes as democratic officials in patterson, new jersey, the city council vice

president and councilmen elect were four men who have been charged in mail-in voter fraud case in the week. the u.s. postal service found ballots together in mailboxes, charges include fraud and casting mail-in votes, unauthorized possession of ballots and tampering with and falsifying public records. board of elections there threw out 800 mail-in votes, all this as voting by mail has now become a new political lighting rod. president trump is warning that a foreign government could steal election by printing fake mail-in ballots, but election officials across the country like here at the suffolk county, new york board of elections say there are safeguards to prevent it. the president tweeted quote, rigged 2020 election, millions of mail-in ballots will be printed by foreign countries and others, it would be the scandal

of our times. suffolk county republican official says theoretically it is possible. >> anybody including a foreign government could in some jurisdictions print, complete and send back paper ballots to county boards of election. county boards of elections like mine taken precautions against such scenario but incumbent upon state legislators to be aggressive lawing and create rules protecting voters from that sort of scam. eric: but election officials and experts cannot point to one case of a foreign government printing u.s. election ballots. they say mail-in and absentee ballots have numerous protections ink colluding -- including being printed on special paper and voter suggest has to match what is already on file. the biden campaign accused president of, quote, pushing baseless conspiracy theories meant to discredit vote by mail. it's a well-worn page from

playbook of deception and distraction. we will not standby while donald trump -- >> this sounds like something out of get smart rather than an actual spy story. the idea that some foreign government can print millions of ballots and sneak them into the country with maybe invisible ink to cast people's votes for them is absurd. it's absurd to have a president of the united states trying to discourage people from voting. eric: while there are holes in the system that can be exploited, not every county in new york mandates bar codes on mail-in ballots and says election fraud laws should be tighter. >> we should join the list of

states that have mail-in voting. eric: well, besides new jersey case there have been absentee cases in virginia, new york but they have involved local politicians and the election officials i've talked to insist they are prepared for this election. americans have been voting by mail since the civil war. in 2018 about 31 million of us voted that way. president trump himself voted absentee in march of florida's presidential primary and he will presumably do that again in november election, arthel. arthel: excellent reporting, eric. the justice department charging four people for trying to topple historic statute in the nation's capitol and saying it serves as a warning to anyone plan to go deface public monuments, ahead more on the action the president took this weekend that makes local and state leaders accountable for their response.

aspect of that executive? >> we will find out whether or not the administration got over its skis. it's clear that this is a return to form for the president. he ran on law and order, executive order as well as charges against the 4 individuals, this is an opportunity for him to lean back in to that promise that he made in 2016 because it's clear that the white house, they want to draw a contrast between themselves and democrats who they are argue have been too timid in -- in confronting these protestors, so one thing is clear, we are headed towards a culture war on steroids this november. arthel: let me play comments by the interior secretary david, he was on "fox & friends" yesterday and we will follow comments from asar hutchison who was on abc. >> most of these monuments were

placed with acts of congress, with deliberation and with careful thought placed into them by artists and great commemorations to establish them and they are not just simply torn down because some person thinks that that would be a good idea to try and rip out our history. we are not going to allow it. >> i think it's time to look for other places that we can know that history and we mind ourselves of of the lessons of that history. arthel: so, phil, listen, no one condones lawlessness or vandalizing federal monuments, however, look, with 125,000 americans have lost their lives to covid-19, more than 19 million americans are unemployed and you see this collective uprising against racism, inequality, so is law and order campaign tone deaf considering the life and death matters that are gripping our nation? phil: yeah, we are going to find out. it's interesting that this is

the side show that's happening among pandemic and among recession. this argument about confederate statutes and both sides really zeroing in. what's interesting here is that the administration, they clearly think that trump's argument is when you start tearing down statutes, there's no limiting factor that you tear down one to man history condemns, the next day you'll tear it down to one that it condones and so far what i think that we are going to see is this administration is going to point out that it hasn't just been confederate statutes that have been defaced. it's also been abolitionists in madison, wisconsin, now debates about the statute to abraham lincoln in washington, d.c. polling right now suggests that the american people, they don't want these statutes to be torn down, a majority do, but this is changing. we are having these discussions. we are having discussions when a national election is around the

corner. arthel: absolutely, and, you know, i think every one who is of clear thinking americans i would say are looking for ways to unify. i mean, we are just torn down so much and i think we just want to show people, the world that we are better than that. hopefully the president is fearless leader and help mend the hurt that we are experiencing currently. sorry i took up your last 20 seconds. phil, we will have you back. phil: good to see you, arthel. arthel: thanks. eric. eric: well, arthel, it appears to be a deadly attack on protestors, police say a gunman opened fire in largely peaceful group of people in louisville, kentucky last night. one man was shot dead, he's been identified by charles booker, the candidate for senate as one of those protestors. another person was injured during the demonstration, that that was demanding justice for

breonna taylor, emt that police shot killed in bed using no-knock warrant during investigation. aishah hasine has more on the developments. aishah: hi, eric, a terrifying night for those protestors and the video is disturbing. [shots fired] aishah: this video appears to show a man wearing a black -- black shorts aiming a gun at the crowd at jefferson park and firing, my count at least 15 times as people fall to the ground to take cover. one person died at the scene, police have not announced any arrests, then a short while later there were reports of another shooting at the hall of justice just a few yards away where a second victim was found and taken to the hospital with nonlife threatening injuries. this morning the city is clearing out tents in that area as protestors are no longer

allowed to camp at the park. louisville's mayor tweeting i am deeply saddened by the violence that erupted in jefferson square park tonight where those who have been voicing their concerns have been gathered. it is a tragedy that this area of people protest is now a crime scene. protestors have been demanding justice for breonna taylor, none of the officers involved in her death have been arrested and brat hankinson is appealing for reinstatement. the city terminated him due to public pressure and before authorities ever finished their criminal investigation. meantime black lives matter protests continue across the country and around the world today as pressure continues to mount on city officials in minneapolis and here in new york city to defund or abolish the police and, eric, here in new york city the budget deadline is looming now just 2 days away. eric. eric: all right, aishah, thanks

so much, arthel. arthel: eric, vice president mike pence taking part in a celebrate freedom rally at first baptist church in dallas. mr. pence is speaking right now, in fact, those in attendance including house and urban development secretary ben carson and first baptist pastor robert jeffress after the event the vice president is expected to meet with texas governor greg abbott about the rise in coronavirus cases there in the lone star state. eric. eric: all right, arthel, thank you. while president trump is calling chicago a war zone, you know the controversies over police procedures and the calls for reform and defunding, what is all that doing to police morale and the fight against crime in our country? straight ahead the leader of the chicago police is here to fill

arthel: so as states work on ways to safely reopen during the pandemic, the american academy of pediatrics is stressing the importance of schools and developing children's social and emotional skills, a leading network of pediatricians saying that schools is so important it recommends in-class learning this fall despite the surge in covid-19 cases in the u.s. and some states do say they still plan to reopen schools for the 2020-21 year, eric. eric: well police across the country under such intense scrutiny after the death of george floyd and other cases officers in chicago continue to deal with one to have nation's highest numbers of murders, shootings and other violent crimes on the streets. this as some new reforms have been proposed for the police

force there. from more on this let's talk to john, president of the chicago fraternal order of police, thank you for joining us here in fox news channel. some of the new measures include anonymous citizen complaints, no longer destroying police records, you know, there's been talk of banning chokeholds, what are you seeing in chicago? >> i see tactics from the mayor, who has no clue what she's doing. specific to a couple of things that you address, defunding and all of that conversation, it makes absolutely no sense. we are under consent decree currently and the consent decree has guideline that is the department wants us to pursue as far as manpower, scheduling, et cetera. we do not have enough people to

-- basically the plan they drew up. we need more police, more equipment, not less. it's pretty disheartening. i don't know how close, but clearly think where the president is and president trump highlighted it. the governor and the mayor have no clue. we've had 12 people killed this week alone yet again. literally, 21-month-old baby killed in a car with the mother who was shot, thankfully she survived but coming back from laundry mat, last week a 10-year-old hit by a stray bullet in her home, dead. it's just bloodshed after bloodshed. the police are not the problem, the criminals are. eric: and what does this do when you see the attacks on police? yes, there have been bad apples and apples is too kind of word, i mean, there has been total misbehavior, illegal activities by some, but what does it do to

police morale when you're talking about the numbers, staggering numbers, 490 people shot dead in chicago last year, 18 people murdered in one weekend, not a weekend, just 24 hours on may 31st, 18 dead. it's like the president says a war zone on the streets of your city, what does that do to morale and what your men and women have to deal with? >> you know, specific to morale it's one thing people don't even take into consideration is the fact that, yes, one sunday we had 18 dead, the following weekend, father's day weekend we had another 18 dead and over 100 shots on father's day weekend and you would think that that would be the end of it. on monday during thunderstorms here we still had another 40 people shot and 6 people dead on a monday. it's just not going to stop. we need federal intervention, we need federal law enforcement agencies to come in here and start locking these gun violaters up for serious terms because it's not getting done in cook county.

eric: what are you calling on the president to do? >> i would love to see him bring more atf, dea, fbi and start handing out federal gun sentences to these offenders because even superintendent has said that the felons are not spending enough time in jail. states attorney in cook county who does not want to do anything about the violence except pointing the finger at the police. it's all smoking ears. the men and women of the police department -- >> eric: let me interrupt because the state attorneys and the prosecutor will take another view and say, yes, they are doing that. let me switch for something that gets lost in all of this and that's the minority community. by in large in the chicago police department has -- says that, quote, they say that by and large the majority of the victims are young black men. as of june 15th according to chicago tribune, 254, 254
