president's response but first vice president vice-- mike pence is in texas and he will speak there . david is live on the north end of the white house. reporter: pence, governor abbott and doctor deborah berks will be holding somewhat of a news conference talking about the spike in coronavirus cases in texas as we have seen in other southern states over the past week or so, texas, florida, arizona and other states in the south. things have gotten so bad in texas the governor made a decision to free close bars telling all bars they need to close down. as you mentioned vice president pence arrived in texas about an hour and half ago and he's postponing campaign events in florida and arizona over the next few days because of the rise in coronavirus cases, especially in the south. the white house claims it's because more testing, but the former head of the cdc

disagrees. >> i can tell you with 100% certainty in most states where you have that increase is a reopening of increase, not more tests, more spread of the virus. reporter: a trump campaign is pushing back with a video showing employees at the tulsa arena where the president held a rally next week removing social distancing stickers before the president's arrival. a campaign spokesperson tells foxnews everyone that came into the rally was given hand sanitizer and also a face mask for precaution. also right now president trump, he's not at the white house now, he's golfing but at the white house east pushing back on the report from the "new york times" about russia paying bounties to afghan militants to kill us troops over in the part of the country. the president doesn't dispute as the main core of the story. he's disputing the fact that he was not briefed on the story, that's what the "new york times" originally

reported. i want to show a tweet from president trump a few hours ago pushing back to reading: no one briefed or told me the vice president or chief of staff about the so-called attack. the tweet raises questions about why the president was in breach on something like this and congresswoman liz cheney tweeted her concerns. president trump has since taken down an extremely controversial tweet offensive to many showing a supporter in the villages florida using the word white power. president trump or you tweeted that original tweet earlier today and has since taken it down. i went to read a statement from white house deputy press secretary responding to the originally on the presidents which are. he says, president trump is a big fan of the villages. he did not hear one statement made on the video. what he did see was tremendous enthusiasm from as many supporters and as you know the president has 82 million followers online so

people see what he tweets and retweets, but that three has been taken down by the president. back to you. leland: we saw the vice president come down the stairs of air force to wearing a mask in dallas. is that the first time we have seen him in public in that way wearing a mask? reporter: it's not. he's worn them before i think maybe a month or so ago vice president pence were a mask. president trump wore one briefly when he went to an automobile factory in michigan may 21, but he did it where cameras did not capture him. the vice president has worn a mask before. he has not in recent weeks really want one, but as i mentioned congresswoman liz cheney -- cheney of wyoming out of that story about russia tweeted a picture of her father the former vice president who says dick cheney says where a mask #real men wear masks and

today vice president pence wearing a mask and making it known. leland: he did not at that visit at the mayo clinic which didn't go over very well. david, thank you. julian? gillian: the justice department is issuing a warning to anyone thinking about destroying federal property including monuments and statues facing charges against four men who allege tried to tear down a statue of andrew jackson in front of the white house earlier this week. christina has the latest on this developing story reporter: the four men were charged friday with destruction of federal property. according to the doj on june 22, the suspects were caught on video vandalizing their property in lafayette square and one is on video alleging attempted to pry the statue at its base with a wooden board trying to pull it down. doj says another suspect is caught on video

destroying at the base of the statue trying to topple the whole thing over. doj announced that it charges hours after the president treated 15 bulletins from the us police seeking to identify the people who vandalize the statue last week. this warning the president tweeted quote is imposing a powerful 10 year prison sentence on those that vandalize monuments, statues with many people arrested all over our country. the vandalism has completely stopped. thank you. tensions continue to mount across the country over monuments of confederate leaders, slaveowners another statues smd and controversial at this point. trumps signed that order friday calling on federal authorities to prosecute anyone who vandalize as a monument, more more ill or. protests turned unruly friday night in richmond virginia in front of the statue of confederate general robert e lee.

police say paintballs and other hard objects were thrown at them and six people were arrested. washington dc congressional delegate eleanor holmes morton taking a peaceful approach to try to initiate change saying she will introduce legislation to remove the statue of abraham lincoln standing over a freed slave from dc's lincoln park. even though the statue was paid for by freed slaves in 1876, some say they find a demeaning and here's eleanor holmes morton on fox news sunday. >> i do not endorse vandalism as a way to deal with what we see in the streets, that's what they said people like me too congress for. reporter: as were the four men charged with destruction of federal property one has been arrested so far and will make his court appearance before a district court judge in dc tomorrow. gillian: christina coleman reporting from our la news bureau.

thank you. leland: with that we bring in acting homeland security. appreciate you joining us. thank you. help us understand where the president's power starts and stops as a relates to monuments. does this only apply to monuments on federal property or federal monument, how does that work claimant so, the answer for those is yes, but not only. that apartment homeland security defense along with the property we are responsible for hundreds of these monuments. you saw the andrew jackson monument that you are reported on that in a national park across from the white house. all of these on federal property are an easy jurisdictional question. more interesting one that you are after is that statues based on the law at the president cited with that up mac 10 your punishment are those that commemorate

people's service in the united states military. you may recall the famous quote by george washington about how veterans and the respect veterans-- leland: you make an interesting point. does that include the confederate military? >> well, the statute says us military, so no, it would not cover that i would expect. leland: so for the sake of argument as an example, statue of a general or governor in south carolina we were talking about yesterday who was a confederate general, that wouldn't be covered and what the president's order was? >> if you are talking about a governor, you are in different territory just because someone also-- leland: what i'm getting at is the idea if there is a statute not on federal land somewhere in some courthouse square around the country, can it be protected by this executive order even though it's not on federal

property or department of the interior federal statute? >> many of them can, yes leland: what is your intel on this? different groups of people who are angry who are trying to tear the statues down or is there some actual organized group of putting together groups providing them with the ropes and other things we have seen used to tear the statues down? >> the most cohesive coordination is occurring out local levels, but there are people moving across the state lines participating in this and when they see what they view as opportunities for violence or destruction that they support, many are traveling to participate. there is both, leland, both things are happening at the same time. leland: how does the federal versus local and state coordination work on this? i'm guessing if the state or local

government decides to three democratic process take down a statue the administration doesn't have much to say on that ; correct? >> eleanor holmes norton really hit that. she says she's against violence and graffiti and that's why you elect people like me, she said it is that process where the discussion can take place. obviously the president has come down firmly on the side of preserving history. leland: is this a federal government trying to require state capitals to keep statues that are on state capitol grounds up or christopher columbus statue that somewhere in virginia, but not like we saw in portsmouth of statues torn down? so long as they are taking down by the duly elected local officials the administration does or doesn't have anything to say about that as a relates to the order? >> state local governments following their own laws on their own property are respected as states are separate sovereign from the federal government.

when violence or reps and when people try to bypass that process, and impose their will, that's where the president has made a very aggressive case that the federal government will assist or participate in protecting those monuments of history. leland: it seems in some cases the federal government will have to use take the lead because so many state local governments haven't protected statues in various places. we appreciate your time. enjoy the rest of the weekend and we will talk to you soon. >> good to be with you. gillian: joining us now is the man leading the call to take down that emancipation memorial in washington dc lincoln park. marcus goodwin is a candidate for the dc city council and he started the petition to take down the memorial that's got over 6000 signatures on change.org. marcus, thank you for your time enjoying the program. tell us what you're goal is, your best case scenario for the

emancipation memorial which despite plans on social media starting three days ago it's still standing. >> thank you for having me on. that change.org tradition has contributed to the national dialogue about systemic inequality. we laid out clearly on our petition that we would like to see the statue putting the museum where it can be properly contextualized and we would like to see it replaced preferably with an african-american woman because they have been grossly underrepresented in the district of columbia where we are the largest demographic group. i'm a dc native, so i have special feeling towards ensuring that we have fair and equitable representation that we are creating a future that lives up to the promise of our founding fathers that all people are created equal. gillian: tell me what you see-- i want to tell our viewers just for context quickly that i was there friday all day covering

the protests taking place in the park so i had the opportunity to see the statue up close and personal quite a bit. on the face of it, it looks to be a slave kneeling before president abraham lincoln. the slave is about to become unshackled, be released from description, tell me what you see when you look at statue. >> you just gave your interpretation. i think we need context knowing and understanding because most people who see that especially of our generation see someone being degraded, someone being demeaned and don't see fair or equitable representation in society for african-americans. our most disenfranchised group has been subject to this kind of representation in our public spaces, so in the statue, which i got up close and personal to, i saw something that was antithetical from what abraham lincoln would've wanted to see it when he went to richmond, entry to citizens who knelt to

him thanking him for the emancipation proclamation, he told them famously standup, you kneel to no man about god so i want to be-- see some thing our president would be proud of and i went to see something that's in its proper context and museum and again bringing proper representation of a contemporaneous african-american who is then a part of the charge like fred ris-- frederick douglass or harriet tubman in its place. gillian: do you at all worry though that by removing this statue and replacing it with another one that a lot of people who live in washington dc and travel as tourists to the city this out then on the opportunity to have the conversation that looking up at statue spares? meaning precisely the conversation you and i are having, what you see, the context is, the history. do you know what i'm saying? >> our petition has

started the dialogue. millions and millions of americans and people from around the world come to the smithsonian institution to see this type of architecture. it doesn't necessarily have to be in our public spaces where we have gross underrepresentation of african-americans. this dialogue is about moving us forward, not staying stuck in the past. 144 years the number of years the statue has been up is long enough to know and understand its intention and now we need to move forward. gillian: marcus, we have to leave it there but we would love to have you back to talk more about this issue. it will obviously bet that-- be with us for some time. we wish you the best. >> thank you. gillian: where's wallace coming up has a interview with eleanor holmes norton coming up on fox news sunday right here on fox news channel at 2:00 p.m. leland: polling showing good news for joe biden in key

presidential nominee joe biden is the epstein and grounding key battleground states. vice president for this post postponing his campaign events in florida and arizona after both states undergo major spikes in coronavirus cases. jackie has the latest. reporter: gillian, with a positive trend in the polls for the former vice president there are no plans to host big rallies and switch at the message that appears to be working for him. he will host a virtual private salvation tuesday in colorado. biden is ahead by nine points in battleground florida and georgia and texas are competitive with reliably red states and biden is at the north carolina according to fox pulls. the news came on the same day in new york's time poll showed biden ahead of trump in six battleground states. yesterday in a virtual roundtable premise delaware home he slammed president trump on the "new york times" report alleging the top administration knew about russia secretly offering bounties to kill american troops to the report claims the

present and his administration were briefed in march, although the white house disputes that. biden says if the support is true trump has done worse than nothing. >> he has had this information agreed to the times and yet he offered to host vladimir putin in the united states and sought to invite russia to rejoin the g7. his entire presence has been a gifted to vladimir putin, but this is beyond pale. reporter: biden was pressed on that call with asian americans and pacific island sir's to release data about his staff and in a matter of hours they made information public showing more than a third of full-time staff and senior staff people of color in both senior and most of the women-- most of the staff were female. later on he held a virtual fundraiser lain out his agenda as president what he would do starting with tackling coronavirus pandemic and building a

responsive public health system. this is as vice president mike pence announced he's canceling his faith in america tour, but will still had to florida, texas and arizona this week to meet with governors in those states as they see huge spikes in coronavirus cases. gillian. gillian: jackie live in new york city. thank you. leland: keep an i on the vice president's travels in texas today when he meets with the governor there. in the meantime we bring in ohio's congressman tim ryer former 2020 presidential candidate himself. appreciate you joining us. as we listen to jackie's reporting, is this the game plan here in the polls to play it safe, stand the bunker and do some roundtables? >> i think for the summer the local media and the different things doing with the roundtable i think are effective and meanwhile you have the president going out there and stories coming up about

russia. that's an absolute bombshell that the president either knew about it and still invited vladimir putin to be a part of the global community or didn't know about it at all. i'm hearing a lot of chatter from veterans, active military that are extremely disappointed and say they can't vote for trump again. letting trump kind of-- leland: let's bring that up about the russia reporting because we now have a number of people including the director of national intelligence saying the president was not briefed which brings up an important question, why not on both sides of the aisle they are asking that. democrats seem to use this soft on rush as soft russia attack on president trump, more russians have died because of us action because of president trump than any other president since ronald reagan. hundreds were killed in

syria when they tried to attack us troops in the us giving missiles to ukraine. is soft on russia really a talking point that will work? >> i don't think there's any question that this president is extremely favorable to the russians. leland: what-- i understand the rhetoric and i understand the president likes to talk about getting along with people, but in terms of real changes in us policy, what policy things has he done favorable to the russians? >> look, he's let the russians basically take over what's going on in syria. he doublecrossed the kurds to our huge ally in that region where we left many of those kurds died and because of his favoritism towards russia and turkey and saudi arabia, so there is ample examples, but this last one is the one that crosses the line that russia is paying

pala band soldiers bounties to kill americans and the president knew in march and didn't do anything-- leland: hold on, congressman. i want to make sure i have the record straight because there are two different issues, one whether or not there is intelligence and we know sometimes intelligence is faulty and sometimes there's not faulty. the second issue is whether or not the president was briefed. he put out a statement that said he was not briefed in the director of national intelligence says he was not briefed on the press secretary has set a number of top officials will vouch for the fact he wasn't briefed and now you here based on a "new york times" story that he was briefed to. don't you want at least to put a caveat at least if this is true? >> this is the same president that said there would be a 15 people who would contract coronavirus in the united states and that was not true. he was the one who said was going to blow right through and that was not true--

leland: congressman, congressman, people can agree there's a difference between talk about what might happen with the virus in the future than whether or not he was briefed. coming on and accusing the president of line, just go ahead and say it >> my opinion, he's lying jerk i think he knew about it, but i will give you the benefit of the doubt and say he didn't get briefed. what's worse-- leland: that's an important question. >> or he has a complete breakdown in where he pays attention. if it were a tweet that the russians sent or the pala band sent or some hollywood star sent he would have been all over it but this is actual intelligence from this region of the world that said russians are putting a bounty on american soldiers and he doesn't know about that, i mean, complete dereliction of duty's.

leland: congressman, you are right in that i heard as you have even some fairly senior republicans who are trump supporters who are at least looking for a serious explanation about this report and what's going on. noteworthy it's been confirmed to some news organizations. >> including the "wall street journal". leland: no question it's noting the denial does not include that the intelligence doesn't exists. we appreciate your time. enjoy the rest of your sunday. >> thank you. leland: gillian? gillian: seattle's autonomous zone that chop is in the 20th day of existence, but word on the street is that it could end soon. we are in seattle with the latest. reporter: first we heard what happened today and now, we are hearing this could all end tomorrow, but occupiers about that any attempt to dismantle their autonomous zone, i will

leland: seattle is reportedly going to start removing the barriers surrounding the so-called chop protest zone today. so far, no update from officials and fox news super correspondent claudia cowan is in seattle where it's about 10:30 a.m. there. so, is this the end of chop? reporter: not yet is the short answer, leland. there were reports at least some of the chop's own would be dismantled today and the city would bring in cruise and had the equipment to haul away some barricades that are now walking city streets to the mayor's office has not confirmed anything, but the barricades were part of the bargain that the city struck with the occupiers to establish the chop footprint and over the past few days protesters have expanded the agreed-upon area

using trucks and chains to move the concrete blocks around and even cutting the rebar handles making a more difficult for the city to pick them up. there's no way for emergency vehicles to get through. seattle's fire chief among others have concerns about that. the first attempt to remove the barricades that with resistance friday morning and were finally called off after one of the protesters pulled a gun on a city worker. police officers were nearby to provide security, but their hands have been tied by the city council and the court order prohibiting them from using tear gas, flash bangs or rubber tipped bullets so there's questions about how much security they can provide by confronted by armed protesters and the police chief says their only option is guns and batons neither of which she said are appropriate for crowd control. the occupation of zone has been mostly people this weekend, but our security guard reported a scuffle at a nearby park yesterday when a man described as a

street preacher was accosted by other protesters who did not like what he was saying. first they beat him up and then a man wearing a gray shirt pulled out a gun to protect the man. no one was hurt but after 20 days there is still no police presence and confrontations like that along with no timeline for ending the occupation has neighbors on edge. leland? leland: and a lot of neighbors who can't get police protection or fire protection or an ambulance. claudia will be in seattle throughout the day and we will see if the barricades move. thank you. gillian? gillian: talks are underway between israeli and us officials over plans to annex new parts of the west bank. tray is on the ground with a developing story. reporter: julian, good afternoon. israeli annexation of the west bank could begin july 1, with expected extreme pressure against israel from the palestinians if

the plan moves forward. today palestinian factions in gaza for a day of rage wednesday in response to the possible israeli action. demonstrations along the gaza border of the past few years have led to hundreds of palestinian deaths and tens of thousands of injuries. hamas, the group in control released statements over a video feed last week saying israel would regret the decision to apply their laws over the disputed territory of equating the move to a declaration of war there were calls this month from the palestinian political party that rules the west bank for peace though they are bracing for a possibility of a new round of conflict erupting. on the israeli side the prime minister hopes to push forward israeli annexation with support of the trip administration. president trump move the us embassy to jerusalem and recognized it as the capital israel moving palestinians to describe the peace plan escrow

dead on arrival. talks have occurred over the past few weeks between israeli and us officials regarding the possibility of annexation. there's been no major development that the talks are expected to continue tomorrow here in jerusalem, but as we know things can erupt quickly in the region. already today foxnews received statements from hamas and islamic jihad inside gaza that say they are preparing for war. julian? gillian: thank you for working a little late to join us today. we appreciate it. i want to bring in ambassador dennis roth who served as middle east advisor to five different american presidents both republican and democrats and the author of the book "be strong and have good courage". ambassador, what you make of this latest move or the plans for this move in july two annex

more disputed territory in the west bank? is it smart or provocation? >> i don't know that it's smart. we have to understand what's going on here. prime minister benjamin netanyahu decided he would like to go ahead and annex the territory allotted to israel by the trump peace plan. now there's 30% of the west bank that allotted to israel according to the plan but the plan also said there should be a palestinian state and also said palestinians had for years in which to engage on this and so the annexation looked like israel is taking a step before there's been any engagement on the trump peace plan. it's true the palestinians refuse to engage on it, but the trip administration has said an impact secretary of state pompeo said we would like to see you the palestinians offer a counter proposal, but once you begin annexation you make a counterproposal either moot or at a minimum far

less likely so i think the real question is why does it need to be done now and even if it is done now, will it be the 30% or is it going to be a smaller part of the west bank? 30% make it difficult to separate israeli is from palaces stands and might make it possible to negotiate a two state outcome later on so the real question is wise it necessary necessary to do this now when there's uncertainty related to it based on the stories you are just hearing. there may be a palestinian reaction we don't know what it will be. for jordan the king of jordan says it may provoke a massive conflict so the question is, what is it that israel gains right now controlling that territory anyway without the risk it might be associated with going ahead with annexation. gillian: on the timing question, though, isn't it reasonable to say that if the trump administration or any us administration were to wait for

the wide time in total things quote settled down until things weren't so heated, i mean, this is part of the reason why there's never been a roadmap to peace moving forward the on fits and starts, is it not? i mean, if we wait for a good time will we wait forever? >> fair question, the timing question at the same time you have to ask the question, does this really change. israel controls the territory as it is, number one. number to the minute israel doesn't it's not just a question of what happens in the region, you have a number of european states they will recognize, palestinian state on the lines. when of the reasons the prime minister wants to do this is because he thinks he will create a new baseline with any future negotiations based on the 70% of the west bank, not 100%, but if no one else in the world recognizes this

and it's only the trump administration that recognizes it and then there's a change in november because of the election and you have a due administration, the biden administration that does not recognize this, what has israel gain? the real question is is a going to change the baseline are not. that may be more fundamental than is at the right or wrong time i would like it seen in the context of more of an effort to produce diplomacy and if the diplomacy fails we still have this option. gillian: look, i will partially answer your question because i spoke to senior administration officials about this last week and they said the reason he went to move forward now is to keep up the progress and the gains from moving the embassy and redesignating israel's capital to be jerusalem, so my point is they they feel a sense of urgency. ambassador, we have to leave it there, but thanks as always for your insight into this. we greatly appreciate it

>> no problem. leland: great conversation for democrats and republicans remain at odds over police reform. what does that mean for police departments and officers on the street, when we come back so what's going on?

i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 8 million dogs.

nice. and...the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no...itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chance of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to worsen. do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. feeling better? i'm speechless. thanks for the apoquel. aw...that's what friends are for. ask your veterinarian for apoquel next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend.

to see if it's possible a deal could be reached down the road. >> series that getting something done, but we cannot get something done if the democrats in the senate are more interested in presidential politics than they are getting something actually finished this year. reporter: president trump has signaled he's open to the proposal that senate republicans put forward including efforts to address training and more body cameras but democrats say the senate bill doesn't go far enough in terms of addressing the issue and is part of their proposal named after george floyd they would like to see more comparable to perform including things like banning chokehold and no knock warrants and eliminating all tied immunity protecting officers from lawsuits and increased reporting. >> you've never seen, i think, a reaction at least from democrats in the congress as quickly as you have seen after the george floyd demonstrations.

reporter: the house bill is considered somewhat of a nonstarter for president trump. he said he's open to legislation, but not the house package and it would be likely he would veto it if it reached his desk. leland: especially qualified immunity being a nonstarter. mark mallette-- meredith , thank you. gillian? gillian: health care providers nonprofit organizations demanding mental health support surging during the past few months as mark americans are unemployed, alone fearing their future during that coronavirus pandemic and coming up we will talk about one organization stepping up to fill that mental health care void lem. 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.

...your medication this virus is testing all of us. and it's testing the people on the front lines of this fight most of all. so abbott is getting new tests into their hands, delivering the critical results they need. and until this fight is over, we...will...never...quit. because they never quit.
